Neuware -Human pandemics of influenza in 20th century were 1918: 'Spanish Flu'- 40 million deaths; 1957: 'Asian Flu'- 1-2 million deaths and 1968: 'Hong Kong Flu'- 7 million deaths.Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, one of the most serious health threats today, is an infectious disease of birds caused by influenza virus type A. It has imposed serious threat for the growing poultry industry of Bangladesh with a risk of affecting humans. Domestic poultry are highly vulnerable. In its highly pathogenic form, the disease is extremely contagious and mortality in poultry can approach 100%.Avian Influenza (AI) is a contagious viral zoonotic disease with great public health implications and negative socioeconomic impact. The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) infection is transmitted from birds to man mostly through contact with contaminated poultry and objects, hence people who come in contact with birds such as live bird market workers are the more vulnerable population. Inadequate knowledge of AI health risks and poor practice of AI preventive measures amongst LBS increases the risk of spread of the infection in both humans and animals.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book reports the results of an investigation done on assessing the effect of Waste Paper Sludge Ash (WPSA) as additive in cement mortar. WPSA from paper mill is used as partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement in mortar. The study involves four replacement levels of WPSA into OPC at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Tests were conducted to explore the characteristics and properties of WPSA in mortar at fresh and hardened states. The mortar cubes were cast and were cured for 7 days, 14 days and 28 days to explore the strength development of the mortar. It is concluded that addition of WPSA at 5 percent of cement helps the mortar to achieve the higher compressive strength at 7 curing days. Use of WPSA is feasible to be used as an additive in mortar and would help to increase the compressive strength of mortar at early stage. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The importance of the horizontal dimensions or working width (WW) of the root canal system has not been addressed in most of the research. In long oval or flat canal preparations, the WW is very important as it alters the operator to the possibilities of incomplete root canal preparation. The concepts, techniques, and technologies to measure initial horizontal dimensions and to determine final horizontal dimensions accurately or properly are underdeveloped. Understanding the current concepts and techniques of cleaning and shaping of root canal system; carefully maintaining the aseptic chain, using adequate irrigating solutions to enhance efficacy; and cautiously applying current concepts and techniques of WW may provide a better quality of endodontic therapy for the patient.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Fuel cells and hydrogen are two key components for building a competitive, secure, and sustainable clean energy economy, due to possibility to convert diverse fuels directly into electrical power without combustion and a carbon-free fuel that can be produced from renewable resources. However, to become competitive in a market, fuel cells should overcome the issues by improvements in durability and performance as well as reductions in manufacturing cost. Recent advances in fuel cell technology has been made by development of the high temperature (HT) polymeric electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells (FC). Owing to combination of the advantages of two types of fuel cells, namely polymeric electrolyte membrane and phosphoric acid, it is considered as one of the best technological solutions.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -I have been performing dental treatment which considers the health of the whole body. More specifically, I adjust biting situations to improve overall health. Conditions such as lumbago, stiffness of the shoulders and knee pain, which are sometimes difficult to cure, may be improved using this dental treatment. Moreover, a person who was bedridden may stand up suddenly and may begin to walk, after appropriate dentures are inserted. Such cases are clearly shown in the pictures and related movies. Teeth have a significant influence on the health of the whole body. It is not uncommon for illnesses or conditions which have no clear origin, to be related to dental problems. In developed countries, societies are aging quickly. Since the elderly have reduced immunity and physical strength, intensive medical treatment is not used in most cases. Can't the elderly, who are bedridden and suffering from dementia, be saved any longer The answer cannot be no. I think it is too early to give up. With suitable dental treatment, they may regain their health. If reducing medical expenses is necessary, nursing care expenses and the number of illnesses should be reduced. 88 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the past decades, developed and developing economies have used Anti-Money Laundering Laws (AML) measures to combat corruptive behavior throughout their financial industry. The corruptive behavior will always have a negative impact on the local financial sector because it influences management to use unethical and immoral practices when doing financial transactions in a global market. Also, it can help to distort business environment that does not recognize the Ethical Decision-Making Framework (EDM) process in accordance to the corporate governance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). It also can lead to strategic control measures that will discourage an organization's core moral values and culture compliance policies and procedures. Since (AML) is the first line of defense to detect and prevent illicit money transactions from one entity to another. Thisbookwill address how developed nations (U.S. and U.K) and developing countries (Latin America and Africa economies) have used EDM approach or not to develop an ethical code of conduct their financial industry to combat money laundering activities. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book endeavors to discover a new trait of police culture technophobia that I have observed as a police officer and embarked upon this project to unearth its raison d'eter. I have found that there are five main universal causes of police fear of not using technology especially information and communication technology (ICT). In the first place, cop culture has a pet aversion to the learning of new skills and information sharing; secondly, ICT has lead to the erosion of police discretion and the idea of 'real police work'; thirdly, information technology has enhanced organizational accountability; fourthly, ICT has lead to the civilianization/ pluralization of police work and lastly, ICT has created new hierarchies and job structures. Understanding of police technophobia is important for police leaders and other public safety professionals as it has wide range operational and policy implications. The new security environment has redefined policing as an 'information brokering service'. And the post 9/11 and other world counter terrorism scenarios has ushered in an era of multilatralization and pluralization of policing and the police. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In an ever evolving and expanding world, there is a constant quest for both more energy and less external energy dependency. With the fossil fuels bound industry setting an alarming trend of negative ecological footprint, there is a clear and urgent must to predict and instruct on alternatives, which is the main purpose of this paper. As our key points of argument will show, there is no alternative decarbonized, greener primary energy mix possible in the future without the considerable share reserved for nuclear power. To this end, the development of nuclear power can only be achieved within the current legal framework of nuclear commerce regime. Consequently, we will rethink and revisit some of the fundamentals: the genesis of the world of atoms, applied nuclear science, its military and geopolitical implications, the nuclear commerce regime, legal framework behind this field as well as the factors speeding up or hindering the process of a renewed nuclear power generation, which can be tentatively named a nuclear renaissance. Hopefully, this process will lead towards a safer, cleaner, cheaper, decarbonized and greener energy mix in the future. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main goal of this book is to introduce the required coefficient of friction (RCOF) as a new variable to characterize the normal and pathological gait; also, its might be used in the prediction of the real fall propensity of patients with stroke and Parkinson's Disease (PD). In the First Chapter the literature review of Tribology (the study of friction) and the RCOF during the gait are presented. The Second Chapter discusses the methodology to calculate the RCOF based on the ground reaction forces (GRF). This variable is calculated as the ratio between the shear of the horizontal GRF components (resultant of lateral and anterior posterior GRF) and the vertical GRF. With this methodology the studies presented in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth chapters were design. The Third and the Fourth chapters the studies about the effects of flooring in RCOF during normal and pathological gait were discussed. In the fifth and sixth chapters, studies about the instantaneous RCOF curve analysis in patients with Stroke and PD were presented respectively. These analyses represent the first attempt to explore the RCOF curve parameters during the gait analysis. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Globally, suicide and HIV/AIDS remain two of the greatest healthcare issues, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where approximately 85% of suicides occur. Every year, more than 800,000 people die from suicide; this roughly corresponds to one death every 40 seconds, and the WHO estimates that by 2020 the rate of death will increase to one every 20 seconds. HIV/AIDS patients in South Africa have a higher suicide risk than the general population and an increased frequency and severity of suicidal ideation depending on the different intervals in the continuum of HIV disease progression.Several studies have observed a relationship between the increase in suicide and HIV in South Africa, but due to the paucity of empirical data, this relationship remains inconclusive. Suicide in HIV-infected persons is multifactorial.Despite the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the suicide rate remains more than three times higher among HIV-infected persons than in the general population. Although international findings on the correlation between suicide and HIV/AIDS are diverse, results show compelling evidence to screen for suicide risk and intervene as early as possible 88 pp. Englisch.
