Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nanotechnology is the manipulation of material at the molecular level to make innovative materials with exceptionally diverse and exceptional properties. Nanotechnology is primarily employed in forensic science to improve and develop reactive ('smart') materials, microchip technology, nanoimaging tools for visualisation and nanomanipulators i. e. microfluidic systems for post-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) quantification, DNA extraction media, and latent fingerprint visualization using nanopowder. Nanotechnology could be effective in addressing current forensic investigation issues such as evidence collecting and analysis from crime scenes. Advances in nanotechnology will reduce the size of bulky devices and shorten analysis techniques. This could lead to better scientific evidence analysis adequate for legal procedures.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Analysis of Albaniäs European integration process encourages a new discussion in the mediatization theory. The impact on the social sphere is the result of mixed forces, which show patterns of mediatization depending on the way they interact. Four distinctive patterns of mediatization, related to European integration, are evidenced in the monitored media: 1. Political mediatization; 2. Performative mediatization; 3. Journal PR-ism; 4. Cyclic mediatization. When it comes to the mediatization of the EU integration process, the essence is not the politician, but the topic. If there is no topic, there is no active politician. This topic encourages media coverage, which comes as a necessity after the publication of the progress report, which is a public evaluation. The characterization of such a process as bureaucratic and administrative is a clear indication of the level of the bureaucratization of the media, which culminates with press conferences, official statements and meetings. This mediatization image helps the journalists and media come across as messengers of the statements, while, in the meantime, it reflects their PR-ism tendency.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -According to statistical data, with the development of oil, chemical, gas industries cases of poisoning caused by toxic substances employed in these branches have become more frequent recently. A special place among them is occupied by carbon monoxide, poisoning with which has been growing steadily. The application of information technology in this field of medicine is explained by the complexity, uncertainty and multi-parameter nature of the problem. The fact that the majority of symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are found in other poisonings also contradicts the differential diagnosis. At the same time, considering such consequences of poisoning with carbon monoxide as myocardial infarction, gait and motor disturbance, peripheral neuropathy, dementia, Parkinsonism u.a. it is expedient to perform monitoring of a patient after staying in a stationary treatment which determines optimum time of its performance, kind and the number of analyses required for developing an intelligent system. This book proposes an elaboration of an intelligent information system for differential diagnosis and monitoring in cases of poisonings with carbon monoxide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The main purpose of this book is to provide basic explanations about Dynamic Programming (DP) to facilitate readers and learners to overcome their difficulties and complexities in solving such a basic DP problem in Management Science. Accordingly, this book has been designed to explore the bases and basics of DP with the processes and steps required for finding the optimisation of the problem. In this book in general terms, two types of models for optimisation (of maximum or minimum) have been dealt with: (a) Route Determination Model (RDM) and (b) Varying Input-Out Model (VIOM). Identically, various methods are available in related management science books for solving a Route-based Model. However, most of the learners, especially students, had faced some complexity and irregularities in systemised approach to solving a VIOM. In this context, this book has devised a systemised methodology to make the learners get understood the ways of solving a basic dynamic model and they are very rarely available in related books.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Homelessness is often used to describe and classify those people within society living in a street or a shelter without a home. Moreover, it is one of the socio-economic challenges that has proven to be prevalent and dominant worldwide. Surprisingly, dominant as it is, it receives minimal attention not only from policymakers and politicians but also from academics as well as other institutions such as civil society organizations and Higher Education today. Furthermore, this has led to the normalization of the issue of homelessness instead of being treated as an important social ill that exacerbates and worsens poverty. As a result, this has far-reaching consequences, leading to the disintegration and overlooking issues of homelessness in development debate and agenda. Hence, this myopic attitude has resulted in homelessness being perceived as an individual choice without a critical assessment of the causes of homelessness. Therefore, it is against this negative background that this essay is written, to advocate for the integration of homelessness into the global agenda and development programmes as a crucial tool to break down the stigma attached to homelessness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.
