Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The first Edition of this book was created in 2005-06 in response to voiced frustrations among junior medicine, cardiology and off-service residents rotating through cardiology as well as non-cardiologist physicians who were overwhelmed by the sheer number of cardiology trials. After repeated requests for references of 'just the important trials' or 'just the trials that changed practice', we compiled a user-friendly quick-reference guide of the 25-30 studies that had the biggest impact on clinical practice across the breadth of cardiovascular medicine. With each new addition of the book, we continue to comb through the cardiovascular literature for robust trials that consolidate mature lines of evidence and ultimately persuade us to change practice. The unique feature of the book is its Perspectives section that explains the study and its context. We hope this book will be a useful and relevant companion to you.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Renewable energies are sustainable and clean energies, not only may overcome the gradual depletion of traditional fossil energies that have impacts on the environment but also can solve the issues of energy sustainability, economic development, and environmental protection. A medium subtropical island surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Taiwan has enormous potential to develop various renewables, such as solar, biomass, wind, geothermal, hydro. According to the estimation, the total renewable energy (RE) reserve is about 194GW, which equals to 4 times of national installed power capacity in 2015, e.g., 48.7GW, so Taiwan has abundant renewable energy resources indeed. Taiwan imports 97% of total energy supply from foreign countries, so the energy security constitutes the most important topic for the national energy policy. In 2009, the central government promulgated the Renewable Energy Development Bill as the milestone policy to develop RE. In mid-2016, the new government (DPP) came to power claiming the 'Nuclear-free Homeland' as its main energy policy, in short, by 2025, the RE power generation installed capacity will account 20% for the all power generation capacity in the country.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Desertification occurs in all continents except the Arctic and affects the livelihood of millions of people especially the poor living in the dry and arid areas of the world. This process happens mainly in the dry, arid and sub-humid regions and its effects are measured at the local, provincial, regional, continental and global scale. In recent years, mankind has been challenged with a myriad of serious environmental issues. Many international institutions, governments, and individual citizens are placing special emphasis and importance on the issues of desertification and land degradation. In this book try to assess desertification based on remote sensing in the local scale used Decision Tree method. The univariate DT classification approach employs tree structured rules that recursively partition the data set feature spaces into increasingly homogenous classes based on a splitting criterion. The types of desertification land decided the structure of decision tree. The order is from definite types to indefinite ones. So the tree starts from the root and spreads to branch according to the similar characteristics of the remote sensing image.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Public speaking development walks with us from the earliest age and it allows us to interact with others and to express our feelings. Nevertheless, at the end of compulsory education, many people have problems when speaking in public in their mother tongue both as professionals and citizens. Besides, there is a low presence and a lack of educational tradition in teaching public speaking in our country, Spain. The aim of this research is to rethink on the current demand for communication skills among which are the ability to express ideas, persuade and influence others. The importance of the development of the competence to speak in public from an early age as a future preparation through cooperative learning is related to the increase of self-concept. These three aspects combined can respond to two educational needs: education for dialogue and education for coexistence. To some extent, Cooperative Learning improves the students¿ speaking work and this learning may have future positive effects on academic achievement and professional and personal success.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Rain-fed crop production, and the time of crop phenological stages occurrence, apart from its relationship to the genetic of cultivator, soil conditions, effect of pests and pathology and weeds, and the management and control quality during the growing season etc., deeply depends on climatic events . Among them, the nature of rainfall interval, temperature variation during growth stages, speed and direction of wind and evapotranspiration are very important. Therefore, it is not very unlikely to achieve relations or systems that can predict the yield and the occurrence date of each phonological stage with higher accuracy using meteorological data. In this book, Artificial Neural Networks application in order to predict the rain-fed wheat yield and the occurrence date prediction of each phonological stage using meteorological factors were considered. We designed the artificial neural network that correctly encompasses the relations of climatic factors affecting on wheat phenological stages and yield, so that it can be used to estimate wheat production in long or short term with sufficient useful data for the specific area.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The sedimentology, biostratigraphy, and sequence stratigraphy of the Early Carboniferous turbiditic basins of Moroccan Meseta are described in this book. After numerous lithologic and paleontologic investigations, a precise biostratigraphic scale was built, especially by foraminifers for Morocco to date limestones in platform, but also turbidites because carbonate and detrital sediments are mixed in platform and basin. Four marine basins more or less connected together, existed in this period: Sidi Bettach near Rabat, Central Morocco between Oulmes, Azrou and Khenifra, Jebilet and High-Atlas near Marrakech, and Eastern Meseta basins between Fès and Oujda. On mixed carbonate and detrital platforms surrounding the basins or on horsts within the basins, the eustacy prevails upon the tectonics, and consequently sequences are more similar to the Vail¿s type. Comparisons between Moroccan sequences of platforms and basins, and sequences of platforms in Belgium and Great Britain show that some discontinuities are coeval. According to their palaeobiogeographical affinities, it is possible to deduce that the Moroccan basins were connected with Palaeo-Tethys and western Europe.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This research investigates the way in which a nonlinear Gaussian Unscented Kalman Filter can be combined with a nonlinear Bayesian Particles Filter in a hybrid structure capable to perform better in comparison to each one of these two estimators. Their state estimation performance is evaluated for the same case study, more precisely for a simplified model of a Ni-MH battery that is integrated in a Battery Management System in order to drive a Hybrid Electric Vehicle. A benchmark evaluates the performance of each estimator in terms of root mean square error, mean square error and mean absolute error statistics based on the battery state of charge residual. From this benchmark it is easy to get information about the battery state of charge estimation accuracy, the robustness and the modelling limitations of both estimators. The extensive simulations in real time are carried out in an attractive real-time MATLAB framework environment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book is motivated by the paradox of so much religiosity and yet so much crime in the Nigeria society.Almost all the perpetrators of crimes in Nigeria are members of one religious group or another.Therefore it is either the religious groups tolerate crime or creates the vulnerability that leads to crime. The book is an evaluation of the major religious groups in Nigeria, in this case, the Christian and Muslim religions; in relation to the extent they assist the poor out of poverty or further impoverish the poor, thereby creating an incentive and vulnerability rather than disincentive and non-vulnerability to crime.The book contends that the religious groups have abandoned the core provisions of their religious faith which emphasize charity, being one Umaa or being one in Christ and assistance to the poor. Hence most of their members engage in criminal conducts. It is recommended that the religious groups in Nigeria should once again embrace these core tenets and thus provide the disincentive and remove the vulnerability of especially the poor members engaging in crime.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.
