Neuware -Quality of life is fast becoming the standard by which social and institutional well being is assessed, with an equally rapid proliferation of instrumental metrics. Job satisfaction, personal health, and residential care are just a small sampling of the many circumstances for which there is need to satisfy the personal tastes and inclinations of an increasingly well educated and affluent population. None of the measuring instruments directly measure the experience of improved quality of life, however, since what is experienced is itself subjective. The ambiguity of definitions, in fact, has generated widespread disagreement about interpretations and there is a clear need to redress the way in which quantification can be used for quality of life. This book reconfigures the traditional manner of using quantification for obtaining numerical values, therefore, to an information generating process that is itself experientially mediating. Its analysis offers the professional interested in developing quality of life standards the prospect of tailoring such standards to the single individual.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

The goal is to create a platform on which to redesign human activity to be balanced. The author argues that Chinäs development is unbalanced, and to see the unbalance we must divide the concept of development into different categories representing its different aspects, such as economic, urban, social, and sustainable. By looking at the different characteristics of development through time, it is possible to see where the unbalance lies. Furthermore, we learn that by categorizing the nature of development, we can gain a more comprehensive insight into the development of individual countries. In conclusion, this book proposes the creation of a possible Development Index, as it can provide greater understanding of each country¿s development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The physical properties of polymers are very much dictated by where the operating temperature lies with respect to the transition temperature between glassy and rubbery states. The precise identification of this glass transition temperature, Tg, is critical in assessing the feasibility of a polymer for a given application. In this book, the behavior of polymers near their Tg and the capability of predicting Tg using theoretical and empirical models is assessed. While all polymers undergo structural relaxation at various temperatures both nearly above and below Tg, practical assessment of a single consistent Tg is successfully performed through consideration of only immediate thermal history and thermodynamic properties. The determination of Tg for a wide variety of polymers of theoretically infinite chain length has been found to be accurately performed through the use of novel quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models. The supplementation of such values to configurational entropy and molecular weight relational models can be used for estimation of Tg for shorter chain length polymers within the same homologous series, but only to a specific lower bound.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Aggiungi al carrelloTaschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The agricultural-planning process is important from both social and economic perspectives. Farmers strive to produce maximum output with minimum inputs (cost optimization). During the last few decades, in addition to the economic aspect, another key factor in modern agriculture has become the environment. This book thus considers two optimization models. One has been developed for reducing the costs in optimization of the feed rations for sport horses and the second has been developed to maximize the profit during the crop planning process. The crucial advantage of these models is that there is an open program in which farmers can create a priority list of goals and subsequently set the most important tasks on their farms (e.g., reducing the production costs, maximizing the profits, saving the farm cropping area, filling in the unexploited cropping area, solving either the issue of underfeeding or overfeeding of livestock, etc.). Because of their relatively simply usage, the models are appropriate for a wide range of users; from farmers to extension services.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

The major steps in the treatment of allergic rhinitis are avoidance of the allergens, treatment of symptoms and immunotherapy. Avoidance of the allergen is not usually possible and symptom relief is often limited, despite the number of the pharmacological options. Specific immunotherapy demands a high level of cooperation on the part of the patient for at least 3 years. Endonasal phototherapy with the Rhinolight for the treatment of allergic rhinitis is a new option that uses the immunosuppressive effects of ultraviolet radiation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Shin Yun-bok¿s (1758- ) satire, which pointed out the hedonistic social aspect in the capital of Joseon, constituted a blow to the noblemen¿s moral authority. We can see in his paintings that in the late Joseon dynasty, the ruling ideology, Confucianism, became sullied and collapsed in its faculties as both mental principles and basis for social order. Shin¿s genre paintings show by way of ridicule that he rejected the traditional structure of Confucian aesthetics and devalued the fixed relationship between image and text. The two significant characteristics of Shin¿s style of genre paintings are ¿one icon representing two codes¿ and ¿leverage of ideology and mentalité.¿ Shin¿s genre paintings are a meaningful landmark because they showed and established a new order of mentalité. The mentalité established in inverse proportion to that situation, however, was also not sound. Even though Shin disclosed the moral collapse by satirically criticizing the hedonistic life of the yangban class in his paintings, the very depictions expressed in Shin¿s works also captured the social changes and emergences of modernity. This is a significant virtue of Shin¿s paintings.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

This book examines the stylistic elements of the print tradition and analyzes their assumed roles within the increasingly popular tradition of the New Media object. Drawing on the research of such esteemed scholars as Katherine Hayles, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Lev Manovich, and John Shanahan, this book seeks to reflect on the benefits and drawbacks of critically reading an electronic text or novel in comparison to the traditional methodologies applied to print literature. It is of critical importance that a detailed understanding of both mediums is gained however, not only for the continued integrity of literary studies, but so protocols can be implemented allowing for more diversity in the manner with which students interact with such concepts as narrative and the act of reading.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book considers different versions of existence of the Earth magnetic field and its inversions, movement of lithospheric plates, earthquakes and tsunami, global warming and global cold snap. In this book (on the basis of laws of physics and electrodynamics) a scientific hypothesis for an explanation of physical processes occurring in the depths of the Earth is offered. Radial electric currents arising in the Earth core, as a result of the iron core rotation in the magnetic field, heat up the core and the Earth as a whole. The huge thermal energy which has been accumulated by the Earth, is the reason of global warming. Interaction of radial electric currents with the magnetic field of the Earth causes formation of the powerful force defining the drift of the Earth core in the direction opposite to the rotation of the Earth and the driving force of the mechanism of lithospheric plates¿ movement. During inversion the Earth core will stop drifting. The Gulf Stream heat, warming the north of the Europe and Northern America will disappear and there will come their cooling.

Examples from dictionaries, lexicons and corpuses, were taken and analysed in order to find whether a certain morphological process belongs to the domain of inflection or derivation. Much of the data is taken from English and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), with other data drawn from French, German and Dutch. The study consists of a morphological analysis of these languages based on two important phenomena in morphology, namely, concatenative morphology and non-concatenative morphology. Through qualitative analysis, inflection and derivation are shown to not be clear-cut categories in both English and MSA. There are no sharp boundaries between these two important areas despite the fact that researchers have been trying to differentiate between them. It is hoped that investigations for each criterion will help morphologists and other linguists to take into consideration the problematic interfaces that exist between these two main fields in morphology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

The articles of the Mudawwana reflect Moroccan patriarchal traditions inherited since the pre-colonization period. They reflect a strict interpretation of the role of women in Moroccan society: a reading of the Shari'a, Islamic law, that codified inequality between men and women. Nevertheless, Morocco ratified a number of Human Rights conventions, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The first chapter of this book analyzes the dispositions and effects of CEDAW in Moroccan society. It describes the discriminations that women face in the articles of the Mudawwana. The second chapter analyzes the socio-political factors in Moroccan society preventing major reforms of the Mudawwana and thus, preventing greater equality between men and women. It focuses on the period from the pre-colonial days until the ratification of the new modern family code in January 2004.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

These phenomena bring about a diminution of fishery significantly. Red tides and hypoxia are considered to be induced by eutrophication. The soluble and particle nutrient compounds that contain nitrogen and phosphorus are considered to induce such eutrophication. But the number of red tide occurrences per year in Japanese bays fluctuates significantly in these 40 years in spite of cutting nutrients from the basin by developing sewage treatment. Are there any other considerable factors which induce red tides A dam construction is a possible factor to induce red tides and hypoxia. The equation that expresses the increasing process of dissolved oxygen concentration in the water body was obtained by our experiments and was found to be expressed by one simple equation. Hypoxia is estimated to be occurred by three factors that are thermocline, pycnocline and the obtained equation. The sea areas related to Red tides and Hypoxia in this book are Baltic Sea, Black Sea in Europe, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie in United State and many bays in Japan.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Biodiesel fuel was evaluated on the short-term performance of the selected diesel engine. The operating conditions for the modified reactor were 60L vegetable oil, 10L methanol at a temperature of 65-68 degrees centigrade. The time of reaction was 3hours. The catalyst used was 250g anhydrous Sodium hydroxide. The diesel engine operating combustion conditions were obtained at engine speed rating of 1750 rpm for both fossil diesel and waste vegetable oil derived biodiesel. The average fuel consumption was 0.3396 kg/KWh for fossil diesel fuel and 0.3804 kg/KWh for biodiesel respectively. There was no significant difference in the variation of fuel consumption and thermal efficiency for both fossil and biodiesel fuels.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

However, PVC itself is hard and rigid, and in order to achieve good properties it requires the use of additives specifically, plasticizers. Phthalates, phosphates, trimellitates, citrates, sebacates and adipates are the most common momomeric plasticizers used for PVC. Since they are not chemically bonded with the polymer matrix and because of their low molecular weights, monomeric plasticizers have a high tendency to leach out from the polymer thus representing a serious problem for many applications. The use of phthalate-based plasticizers is being questioned worldwide because of their potential toxicity to humans and environment. Moreover, when rigid and flexible PVC are co-extruded, the plasticizer diffusion may cause the Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) phenomena. The aim of this study is to reduce the plasticizer leaching. The two approaches proposed in this work are the PVC chemical crosslinking or the blending of PVC with polymeric plasticizers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Tethered bilayer lipid membranes, tBLMs, are biomimetic membranes consisting of a lipid bilayer interposed between the aqueous solution and a hydrophilic chain, called spacer, anchored to a metal electrode, which are used to incorporate single peptides or membrane proteins, so as to elucidate their structure-function relationships. Hg is a particularly convenient supporting electrode material for tBLMs thanks to its liquid state, which imparts to the lipid bilayer a fluidity and lateral mobility comparable with that of biological membranes, but with a much higher robustness and resistance to electric fields. The free movement of lipid molecules enables mercury-supported tBLMs to react to the presence of proteins, charges and physical forces in a dynamic and responsive manner, mimicking the functionality of living cell membranes. This review describes the way in which the structure of these tBLMs is affected by the incorporation and functional activity of peptides and small proteins and the mode of formation of ohmic or voltage gated ion channels, by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potential-step chronocoulometry, cyclic voltammetry and phase-sensitive AC voltammetry.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 128 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Application of transparent polymers in the consumer and precise optics depend on the knowledge of their optical and material characteristics. The book presents different refractive index measuring techniques in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. Principal, many trade-marks, and development optical grade polymers are considered. Extensive refractometric data of bulk samples, polymer solutions and thin films is reported. Metrological analysis of the experimental results is carried out. Computer modeling of normal dispersion is realized by our program Opticolor to calculate dispersion coefficients, curves, refractive indices and Abbe numbers. Influence of temperature is analysed. Original results on investigation of transmission, refraction and dispersion of optical polymers are presented. Some additional material characteristics are reported to facilitate the design of all-plastic or hybrid glass-plastic optics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 128 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -High concrete durability is one of the factors that can significantly decrease maintenance costs of structures exposed to severe environmental conditions. The mechanical and durability properties of high performance concrete with added metakaolin are studied in this book. Ten percent of the cement in the concrete mixtures was replaced by the metakaolin. In the experimental part of the book, frost resistance and resistance to scaling due to de-icing salts was measured. It was found that the type of added metakaolin does not have a significant influence on the results. The frost resistance of both types of concrete with added metakaolin satisfied code requirements and was comparable to the performance of air-entrained concrete. The resistance of concrete with metakaolin against salt-scaling was worse compared to air-entrained concrete. The experimental work proved that the type of the surface treatment for the scaling tests had major influence on the results. This analysis is especially useful to civil engineers responsible for durability of structures and highways. It can also interest anyone who may be considering replacing cement by metakaolin in concrete mixture design.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

This new rational spline has been used for monotonicity preserving interpolation. The sufficient condition for the monotonicity is derived and all the three parameters can be further utilized to obtain the desired interpolating curves. Furthermore error analysis also has been given in details. Comparison with some existing schemes also have been done. From all numerical results, our rational quartic spline give comparable results with existing schemes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.
