This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Epilepsy can develop as a consequence of known etiology like traumatic brain injury, stroke, or prolonged febrile seizures. Brain insult is typically followed by a latent period (i.e., epileptogenesis) during which various neurobiological changes occur, including neurodegeneration, gliosis, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, alterations in the extracellular matrix, molecular changes in cellular membranes and axonal sprouting. The axonal plasticity and circuitry reorganization is believed to underlie the change in network excitability, and eventually lead to the occurrence of spontaneous seizures. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) launches insidiously progressive brain pathology which can, in addition to epilepsy, lead to functional and cognitive impairment. In this thesis work multiple in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques including quantitative mapping of relaxation and diffusion, a novel technique called manganese enhanced MRI (MEMRI), susceptibility contrast enhanced MRI of cerebral blood volume changes, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy were targeted to probe the pathological cellular phenomena over the course of the disease progression. 84 pp. Englisch. …

Many economists believe that linear models are not efficient enough. So many researches focus on understanding different economical time series structure and dynamical models that can fit them. I try to define the chaos theory, short review on business data investigation and finally I will investigate the Tehran stock exchange Index for chaotic behavior. I will use Correlation Dimension, Hurst, Largest Lyapunov Exponent and BDS tests for my investigation.

Even information memory calculated by Hurst and LLE tests can clear the forecasting limitation. Tests results show enough evidence to accept the Hypotheses of chaotic behavior but due to weakness of chaotic tests for economical data, we still need to wait for new tests for a greater confidence. 84 pp. Englisch.…

These tragic events resulted with lots of human and financial losses. In front of their televisions people have seen results and aspects of a typical crisis event.

We used many different points of views considering the fact that this can engender paradoxes. Besides, we emphasized the optimistic side of critical events often unknown. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Boys, for instance, believe that they receive more punishments about discipline problems while girls are always the models in class, for they are always quiet and follow all the teachers¿ roles. On the other hand, teachers consider girls intelligent where it comes to reading, writing, and comprehension while boys are better in grammar, which follows rules; this is why girls get more questions and lower grades in grammar while boys get more inquiries and worse scores in comprehension.

The result of the study indicated that nearly all lecturers are not alert about the gender bias that is in their classroom and students are facing the problem of uneven treatment from the teachers. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Reflections as a classic text cannot be understood without analyzing it within its historical-philosophical context. On its historical side, it was written in order to defend the 18th century British political system against the omnipresent air of change in Europe. On its philosophical side, Reflections is an inside critique of the Enlightenment thought. Although Burke was by no means an anti-Enlightenment hero, he developed a criticism of the exaggerated role that the Enlightenment put on the concepts of reason, progress, and rights of man by replacing the abstract reason with practical reason, contextualizing the discourse of the rights of men with that of the rights of Englishmen, and excluding the concept of perfection from his theory of prudent reform. Whilst Burke was attacking to the Revolutionaries as metaphysicians, to the paper money and unimpeded monied interest as the tyranny of economists, to the infallible reason as the secular superstition, and to the extremely self-assured will to defame everything associated with the past and to recreate a new world from scratch in an abrupt process, he was directly launching a crusade to the very heart of the Enlightenment. 120 pp. Englisch.…
