Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -For generations, concrete has been a common building material around the world. From the construction of high rise buildings to foundations, the mixture of water, cement, and sand is used due to their bonding property and the high strength. As time is changing new materials and techniques have been generated to improve the quality and strength of concrete. In this book we have discussed the ¿Bio-concrete¿, a concrete which heals itself. Also, this ¿Living Concrete¿ provides the concrete a better strength. This technique is highly desirable because the mineral precipitations induced as a result of microbial activities are pollution free and natural. The concrete behavior after adding the bacteria and the self-healing of cracks have also been discussed. The principle mechanism of bacterial concrete strengthening is that the bacteria themselves act as the catalyst and transform a precursor compound into a suitable filler material. The bacterial strain used in this experiment was Bacillus SONORENSIS and can lie for 200 years in concrete.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The emergence of HPAI had a profound effect on the commercial poultry industry as well as on the rural and backyard poultry. Much of the spread of the disease occurred due to lack or insufficient Biosecurity measures taken by poultry keepers. While stamping out or vaccination measures have reduced the spread of the disease so far, it seems that insufficient Biosecurity measures in many countries is keeping the virus circulating and the disease threatening especially rural poultry keepers. This book will deal with the detailed Biosecurity measures that need to be enforced by legislation and implementation by governments, especially in the developing countries where fair compensation is difficult to adopt and hence stamping out policies do not work. It will list the roles of FAO and OIE in this endeavor and will highlight the need to arrive at policies that can be adopted by governments.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The human is a complex being that is learning his whole life. Since the first days of life, the child has been curious to observe its surroundings, adopt behaviors, repeat words and learn. Getting to school puts a whole new set of challenges ahead of the child, where learning becomes the main task. However, learning is not a natural and easy process for every child. There is not a small number of students with learning disabilities. Does the essence of the problem lie in the inadequate choice of learning strategies This is an extremely important question that we will try to answer in this book. Teacher¿s task is to incite strategic learning, and their work should be organized on a process-oriented paradigm postulate, not just on the learning content. Efficient learning implies the use of different learning strategies. Therefore, a modern school is expected to develop a strategic approach to learning, but also a positive attitude towards learning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This essay is an extended research study that follows a previous, shorter essay that appeared in the Journal of Philosophy of Education (Italia 2016).

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -What are the most significant moments in your life Human beings are too busy in accomplishing big things but they hardly realize that life is all about the little ones and the little beings. Children are of paramount importance in Katherine Mansfield's short stories. The storyteller uses trivial things to portray children and brings out significant facts in life. The present book emphasizes on the adult-children relationship in Katherine Mansfield's short stories like 'Sun and Moon', 'The Doll's House', 'The Voyage' and 'How Pearl Button was Kidnapped '.The little children are conscious creatures that really differ from the stodgy ways of the adult world. Childhood is inherently innocent, sensitive, humane and enlightening. On the contrary, adulthood is ruled by prejudices, misconceptions and pompousness. Katherine Mansfield's stories are often mistaken as only children's stories. Infact, the stories surpass all limitations and probe deeper into the human mind. You would discover the magic in the little ones and try to envision the world from the conscious and innocent perspective of the children.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Workplace Spirituality is becoming more openly recognized as an integral part of work. People view workplace not only as a means of earning money, but as a place where they can survive as well as be fully alive. For an organization to sustain, it requires people who can express their whole self and also build the relationship with their co-workers. This very feeling makes the individual more comfortable in the work setting, thereby increasing the chances of remaining in the job. All the factors that lead to the retention of employees are collectively known as job embeddedness (JE). The study tries to understand the relationship between WPS and JE among higher secondary school teachers. The results of the study indicate a positive relationship between the two constructs.

Neuware -2D metal-organic framework (MOF) nano-sheets have emerged as a new competitive member of the 2D family owing to their adjustable structure and functionality, highly ordered pore arrays in plane, and highly accessible active sites on their large surface. However, the current investigation on ultra-thin 2D-MOF nano-sheets is far from mature; the main limitations go to: (a) the development of convenient strategy for high yield and massive production; (b) the improvement of stability in liquid solution, in ambient conditions, and during applications; (c) the seek for the most suitable application field for each ultra-thin 2D-MOF nano- sheets. Hence, the searching for the most effective preparation strategies with high yield and well stability and then seeking for the most suitable application field are thus of fundamental importance for the development of ultra-thin 2D-MOF nano-sheets.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Obviously, the importance of wetlands to the environment and to the livelihood of communities living around it is enormous and cannot be over emphasized. Reports have made it known that, more than 1.5 million people from different states of Nigeria depend solely on these wetlands for survival. Consequently, shores of the wetlands are mainly inhabited by crop, animal farmers and fishermen etc. producing varieties of crops such as sorghum, rice, fish and so on for consumption as well as for commercial purposes. However, despite being named as a Ramsar site due to its values, the Hadejia-Nguru Wetland is being rampaged by the menace of Typha proliferation and invasion in recent years as a result of which the socioeconomic status of many local communities have been devastated to the extent that migration of many economically productive families to other places has become a nightmare. Besides, many farmers are embattling significant decrease in crop yield, drop in fish catches, and drop in number of animals as well as drying up of irrigation fields. Thus, studies of this nature on the impacts of Typha invasion especially on the livelihood of people have become so paramount.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the 20th century, agricultural land drainage brought about tremendous increase of crop production in Europe and North America. However lack of knowledge of its principles and attendant practices in other areas of the world, resulted in production stagnation and famine. Traditional farming methods and practices are still rampant in Africa, Latin American, India and Asia which constitute over 50% of the world food consuming area where few farmlands are designed with engineering skills and drainage. This, with imminent global population explosion and the impacts of climate change, are threats to global food sufficiency. This book provides the fundamental knowledge into problem soils and crops characteristics in land drainage; response of basic tropical crops to drainage; theory and details of drainage equations; simplified drainage plan where excess water originates from local rainfall, pump systems and practices that could be used for different soils and crops for good farm drainage system to increase crop production.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The recent transition of general purpose computing to multi-core architectures has drastically changed the computing field. This transition was caused by the physical constraints preventing frequency scaling. It is not the case anymore that the next generation of hardware will make the programs much faster, unless they are created with concurrency in mind ¿ a task that has long been recognized as difficult and error-prone. Although many programming languages have been proposed to make writing correct concurrent programs simpler than traditional multi-threading, it is largely unknown whether any of the newly created languages actually improves some aspect of programmer productivity. This work focuses on the subset of those languages that are oriented towards multi-core architectures. The goal of this project is to provide a detailed comparison of the different approaches, discuss their strengths and weaknesses and identify the application areas they are best suited for. This required solving relevant problems (from a concurrency point of view) using each approach. It was also necessary to decide on the methodology of the comparison.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Modern construction technologies attempt to fortify buildings by preventing easy entry by intruders, using fences and gates, anti-burglar to windows and doors, and discouraging using illumination at night. This book examined the predictability of the probable cost of providing security in building projects; by determining the relationships between the total costs of built-in security components and some physical characteristics of buildings. The study that tested the influence of numbers of external openings returned a statistically significant result. Similarly, the study shows that the total costs of built-in security differed significantly amongst the various uses of the building. Also, revealed a variations in the costs of security across the selected locations. However, architectural designs for buildings should always include built-in security components which could forestall any future breach of security in different types of buildings, such as commercial, residential building and the likes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.
