Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study aimed to explore the possible relations between cultural attitudes, ethnic boundary markers and ethnic threat perception among Dutch native speakers. Analyses showed that the attitudes of Dutch informants towards their own language, norms and values were positive, whereas tradition and frequency of contact were less important to them. The importance of language and norms and values was also reflected in its positive relation with ethnic threat perception. Finally, the analyses showed that in addition to language, norms and values, morally supporting the host country during international events (i.e. sports or political events) is an important condition to the informants as well when considering whether an immigrant should be accepted as an integrated citizen. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Real estate prices affect the wealth and mindset of all sections of society, from multibillionaire's to the unemployed. Residential real estate prices depend on a large number of demand and supply side factors. This book was written after a thorough qualitative analysis of all these factors affecting the residential property market, particularly in Hong Kong. To understand the impact that different demand and supply side variables have on property prices, an extensive Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression was carried out, and the results are discussed in an uncomplicated manner. The results are not exclusive to Hong Kong, as the findings are suitable to understand real estate in other countries as well. This research has found new factors that were not considered in earlier studies and have a notable impact on property prices. Furthermore, the history and geographic peculiarities of real estate in Hong Kong have been comprehensively explained. While this study engages in many mathematical processes, special efforts have been made to ensure it is an enjoyable read and provides an overall understanding of the residential property market.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Advertising has often been the axis of debates. Opponents associate it with unrestrained materialism and manipulation. These debates alert perception and accommodation to important issues but fail to include those who ultimately serve as the most important arbiter of ethical practices i.e. the consumer. The book is based upon the premise that different people have different levels of approvals or disapprovals towards the ethical issues in advertising subject to their judgments. Hence it provides a new yardstick for the measurement of ethicality in advertising and its effectiveness. The issues covered are misleading aspects of advertising in form of puffery, deception and unfairness, phenomenon of surrogate advertising and regulatory aspects of advertising,etc. An insight has also been provided towards the other ethical issues like vulgarity, subliminal perceptions, stereotypes, etc. The study provides an implication to the advertisers, who are in the business of making profits, and leaving a word of caution for them to re-evaluate their communication strategies to come out with a new equation of advertising maintaining the balance of professionalism and ethics.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Based on the findings and conclusions of this study the following recommendations are made. SACCOS needs to embrace microfinance best practices; massively mobilize savings, step-up member recruitment, extend their outreach and increase their portfolio sizes without compromising on the quality of service and portfolio. They should also institute internal control systems by hiring professionally qualified staff to handle the daily operations of the SACCOS so as to achieve the separation of duties and responsibilities of the board members. The annual general meetings of the SACCOS should elect to the Management board members with a minimum of Form four level of education so as improve the leadership and governance of SACCOS. Education and training campaigns should emphasize on the intensive savings mobilization to generate internal funds, starting and effectively managing income generating activities to improve the capacity and ability of the SACCOS members and clients to obtain and repay loans without difficulties in addition to increasing their propensity to save. Study tours and exchange visit programmes should be stepped up to improve member exposure. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The causes of water pollution in a watershed are attributed to various sources. The sources of such pollutants and their routing mechanism are controlled by several natural and anthropogenic factors. Such natural and human-induced complexities make the protection of pollution and hence water resource management too difficult. Therefore, extensive knowledge and information is required not only about the pollutants in concern but also the controlling factors within the environment at varying spatial and temporal scales. Description of the spatial and temporal variability of processes based on conventional measurements or observations, for example field sampling and analysis of stream water quality, to represent and explain the entire watershed is ineffective, expensive and time consuming increasing the intricacy on effective decision-making process. An integrated spatial approach that combines a watershed scale hydrologic models, remote sensing and GIS led to tremendous progress during the last few decades in alleviating such problems and demonstrated to be useful tool. This work showed the effectiveness of such tool in modelling the Rönne River basin in Sweden. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Deployment of wireless sensor networks is rapidly increasing day by day to monitor physical environments for critical everyday applications. The main challenge for wireless sensor networks is establishing a reliable and fault tolerant communication channel and able to respond quickly and efficiently to the base station. Usually large numbers of micro sensors are deployed and replacing the battery in many cases is not an option thus long system lifetimes are required. Standalone measures such as choosing low power micro sensors are not alone sufficient to achieve energy efficiency, also applications have various limitations depending upon their architecture which makes it further more exigent to design networks without degrading the performance. This book focuses on identifying the performance challenges based on the statistical data obtained by analysing traffic trends in OPNET Simulator and proposes an enhanced RREP packet for AODV to improve its performance. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Though linear models are frequently used to approximate real dynamical processes for convenience, there are many other real problems that can not be modeled by linear systems, but have bilinear structures. Bilinear systems constitute an intermediate subclass between linear and nonlinear systems. This monograph develops the problem of stabilization and partial stabilization for linear and bilinear distributed systems using suitable control laws among available options. If this is indeed possible, then one usually desires to achieve this steering while optimizing a certain criterion. The proposed stabilizing controls include constrained control laws and provide an explicit decay rate of the stabilized state. The central tool here is the use of feedback in order to correct for deviations from the desired behavior. In this context, the notion of robustness is needed. The mathematical models of our interest are described by distributed linear and bilinear systems, and the applications include parabolic and hyperbolic equations. 136 pp. Englisch.

Fuzzy set theory was formalized by Professor Lotfi Zadeh at the University of California in 1965 as an extension of the classical notion of set. In classical set theory, the membership of elements in a set is assessed in binary terms according to a bivalent condition an element either belongs or does not belong to the set. Fuzzy sets generalize classical sets are special cases of the membership functions of fuzzy sets, if the latter only take values 0 or 1. Classical bivalent sets are in fuzzy set theory usually called crisp sets. On the other hand fuzzy set is more specified than crisp set. It can take a decision between membership grade 0 to 1, i.e. unit interval [0, 1]. This book attempts to fill the needs of the algorithms of Newton s method, Fixed-Point Iteration method and Bisection method which are used to solve fuzzy non-linear equations for the linear fuzzy real number. The procedures to obtain solutions of different types of fuzzy linear equations have also been discussed. The book has been outlined into four chapters. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A routing protocol specifies how routers communicate with each other, disseminating information that enables them to select routes between any two nodes on a computer network. There are three main types of routing. In present days it has become extremely important to ensure quality of service for these three protocols. Upon imposing different scenarios and conditions, same set of protocols show different performances. To compare the performance of the three protocols, a small virtual topology was created. TCP and UDP packets were sent through the network. During the packet routing process; at a predefined time, some links go down while sudden bottlenecks were also created on different links. Thus the behavior of the three protocols is observed on a case by case basis. Using statistical data, graphs were formulated to compare the performances. A generalized view of performance measurement can be drawn from this type of comparative analysis. 80 pp. Englisch.
