Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Financial intermediation provides the means by which funds are mobilised from within and outside an economy and reallocated to productive sectors. Financial intermediaries such as banks, insurance companies and microfinance institutions help to deepen the intermediation process. The level of economic activities, foreign direct investment inflows, savings culture of citizens and in some cases the religious belief of the people can influence the financial intermediation process significantly. Gini and Herfindahl indices have shown downward trend ,indicative of improved competition in the Ghanaian banking industry, hence deepening the financial intermediation process.The monetary and fiscal policies of Ghana as well as general improvement in economic activities and increase credit to the private sector are signs of improved financial intermediation process in Ghana.The enactment of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority Law to revolutionalise the development trajectory of the three northern regions of Ghana is also significant.The question that should provoke national discourse is whether Islamic banking is needed to further deepen the process 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book deals with the Reverse Fortune Hypothesis' of the authors Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson to see if it corresponds with Suriname when it was colonized by the Europeans. Even though in 1500 there were hardly any inhabitants living in Suriname, it did have enough fertile soil to grow plantation products on it, which had a large demand in Western Europe. Suriname got exploited by European colonists when extractive institutions were set up. This book examines why there did not get any institutions of private property developed in order to create a flourishing economy in Suriname and how come this situation still persists today. The research might be particularly interesting for people who like to learn more about Suriname and the role that the Netherlands fulfilled starting as early as the 17th century until the independency of Suriname. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of a speech emotion recognizer is to produce an estimate of the emotional state of the speaker given a speech fragment as an input. In other words we seek a solution for the tricky problem: given a speech fragment how to know what the speaker is feeling, even if she did not intend us to know that. How would it be possible to construct such recognizers Intuitively, when emotion is experienced, there are physiological changes, for example faster heart rate or higher blood pressure. Some of these physiological changes affect speech production organs and they are in a state different from normal, therefore the speech signal comes out of the mouth distorted as compared to emotionally neutral. Different emotions trigger different physiological changes. Thus, we can record speech in different emotional states, measure acoustic parameters of the wave, form feature vectors from these measurements, divide our data set into the training and the test sets. Train the classifier, say, the decision tree, on the train set and see how well it can predict on the test set. 112 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Public markets are mostly seen as quite rushy and untidy places but waste management is necessary as far as health and environmental issues are related especially in fruit and vegetable markets. Biomethanation and Composting are seemed to be lucrative processes for Bio-energy generation and manure production in recent years under Waste-to-Energy program. A case study was conducted in Talaad Thai which is the largest fruit and vegetable market of Thailand so far; organic waste generation per day is 90 tonnes per day almost but mismanagement of that waste is real issue, even in so modern era there is no suitable technology to manage it. So, keeping in view this problem, we conducted a study which not only provided best solution to manage organic waste of market but also investigated internal issues of vendors and administration of the market. So, all those who are interested in knowing that how to manage waste especially organic waste and how to make profit from this junk should read it and you will find the possible way to solve it. This would also serve as source of updated information for those who are interested in developing country's environmental issues. 108 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Analysis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been difficult due to a lack of suitable culture system. Pseudotyped viruses provide a safe viral entry model because of their inability to produce infectious progeny virus. Here a system has been developed to prepare vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) pseudotypes bearing various surface proteins of HBV(HBsAg): S, M or L. The infectivities of the psedotypes were determined by quantifying the number of cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP). The infectious unit (IU) of the pseudotype samples neutralized with anti-VSV in the absence and presence of anti-HBs S MAbs and titrated on HepG2 cells ranged from 1,000 to 4,000 IU/ml and 200 to 400 IU/ml, respectively. VSV pseudotype sample bearing HBs M antigen showed the highest infectious titer. This infectivity was inhibited by treatment with lactoferrin or sulfated polysachharides. Pretreatment of the cells with trypsin, tunicamycin or DTT also inhibited the infectivity of the pseudotypes. The VSV G (HBV) pseudotypes might be useful as a safe and rapid assay system to clarify early steps of HBV infection. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Solid waste management, in addition to technical management, is prioritized in community management where urban population densities have grown to levels that induce solid waste management pressures. A reasonable fraction of municipal solid wastes can be recycled at the source or temporary disposal facilities. Composting program for solid waste management is recently intensified in many big cities of Java that promote the use of compost. There is good potential for large-scale composting that needs good compost quality: stable and mature, to improve the management of municipal solid waste. The remaining fraction of solid waste can be managed mostly through disposal in landfills. Following final disposal, biodegradable solid waste is transformed into leachate, which should be treated to prevent negative impact towards living organisms and ecosystem. This monograph is valuable sources for sanitary engineers and other professionals, governments, politicians and other non-government organizations as well as public communities. It is also addressed to students who are preparing for professional careers in solid waste management. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial microbiomes isolated from the New Calabar River were used to build up models on the possible effects of environmental pollutants on antibiotic resistance. The microbiomes were obtained from water and sediment samples collected at georeferenced sites on the river. This is the basis of the microbiome biogeochemico-graphic information system (MBCGIS). A combination of nutritional and physicochemical factors is presented as support for the existence of microbiome antibiograms in ecosystems challenged with environmental pollutants.High incidence of antibiotic resistance in environments with pronounced industrial and human activities, suggest possible effects of pollutants on the ecosystem. A weak correlation (r = 0.28) between incidence of antibiotic resistance and faecal coliforms implies that the antibiotic resistance patterns of microbiomes may be due to factors that are not linked to faecal pollution. The presence of chemical pollutants may contribute to the risk of increased antibiotic resistance in the environment. Sustainable development demands rigorous legislation for the protection of natural water resources. 108 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The use of antibiotics, have come under increasing scrutiny because of the potential development of antibiotic resistant human pathogenic bacteria after long use. The people are demanding to poultry producers for development of alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters. Due to increased public awareness about health, people are serious for organic animal products. It is just because of residual effects of antibiotics in poultry products and development of resistance in pathogens against antibiotics. Poultry industry looking for alternatives to antibiotics which should have growth promoting effect, have no residual effect aditionally should be easy to use in poultry feed. Some of these alternatives may include significant changes in husbandry practices or the strategic use of enteric microflora conditioners, including acidifiers, enzymes, herbal products, microflora enhancers, immunomodulators especially probiotics. Strategic use of these alternative compounds will help to optimize growth, provided they are used in a manner that complements their modes of action. 60 pp. Englisch.…

This study aims to determine how much money a family has to bear for each episode of childhood hospitalization of pneumonia in two tertiary level paediatric hospitals in Dhaka. It was documented that household had to spend substantial amount of out of pocket money to get the basic care during hospitalization. 71% of the household had to borrow money as a coping strategy. The rural households borrowed more and paid more than the urban households for hospitalization. A trend was found that as the family becomes more economically solvent, the proportional burden due to healthcare expenditure relatively decreases. The study found that in both the facilities the percentage of male children were more than 75% which reflects the cultural negligence towards female children. This unaffordable financial burden can result in the 'distress sale' of property, delay or abandonment of treatment, sacrifice expenditures on food and education and thus the basic needs of the family members are compromised. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -These are exciting times to be doing multi- disciplinary research, especially in biology and engineering. Marriage between cell biology and engineering produced an offspring, called tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is making rapid strides as scientists from a variety of disciplines continue to make remarkable contributions. Data from cell culture and animal studies have been encouraging; currently, efforts are underway to bioengineer organs in reactors that recapitulate native human conditions; and, that day is not far away, when, tissue transplantation will regenerate an organ or an organ, grown in a bioreactor, will replace another human organ. This treatise is written for people with some background in science. The aim of this monograph is to provide an introduction to the field. We also help navigate the reader through the numerous possibilities that have been thrust upon the horizons as amazing discoveries and burgeoning cutting-edge technologies appear to take us close to the day when an organ grown outside the body can replace one inside the body. 60 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There are very few testing tools on the market today that combine testing and coverage. The tools that do combine these two element use a very simple coverage metric. This book contributes an extension to an automated testing tool called T2 that enhances it with a more sophisticated coverage measurement based on prime paths. This solution crucially relies on byte code instrumentation. However, a more elaborate instrumentation scheme is now needed. This is solved by combining it with a programming paradigm called Aspect Oriented Programming. Although a widely accepted paradigm, Aspect Oriented Programming has not been used eminently in software testing. T2 generates sequences of tests and randomly creates values as input to these tests. Due to T2's random properties, it cannot guarantee a high code coverage. To address this, the extension also adds active strategies to improve T2's coverage. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Following attacks by the Yugoslav Army in 1991, local artists used the Old City of Dubrovnik-its ruins, boarded-up monuments and shop windows-to create site-specific public artworks. Local photographers documented the destruction of the Old City, raising international awareness to the plight of the Croatian people and the attempt to eradicate their culture. Three case studies: the site-specific exhibitions of artist Ivo Grbic on the grounds of his home and studio which had been bombed, the impromptu collaborative public art project by professional and amateur artists that took place during Christmas time in December 1991, and Pavo Urban's photographs of the besieged city's architecture and citizens demonstrate how the artists of Dubrovnik coped with the circumstances of war. This work is based on field research conducted in Croatia which includes the interviews with artists who were inspired by the attacks on Dubrovnik. The book is especially suitable for artists, and art and architectural historians interested in site-specific art, as well as anyone interested in the role of artists during wartime who wants to learn from the Croatian experience. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As education is of paramount importance to the overall development of any nation, it has found that the task of providing education to all who need it is an exceptional one. Since education costs money, many people in developing countries are unable to acquire quality education. In Ethiopia for example, the responsibility of providing education has for long been dominated by governments.In a situation where it has become very clear that government is unable to sustain continuous provision of adequate and high quality education, there can be no better option than to open the floodgate to private individuals and organizations in order to complement government efforts in education provision. The primary aim of this book is to identify the challenges that private higher education institutions (PHEIs) face to provide quality education. The study uses qualitative and quantitative methods incorporating a case study approach. PHEIs from Ethiopia are used as a case study. This study finds that lack of clear quality standards, government incentives, skilled human capital, books, technology, fund, and other facilities are major factors that prevent PHEIs from proving quality education. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This research explores the relation between subsidies for Dutch feature film production and box office revenues, in the context of policy objectives that have been formulated since 1997. The objectives were predominantly focused on: the increase of production volume; the improvement of quality and commercialization of film; entrepreneurship among producers; and attention to the audience. The main goal was to establish an economic viable film sector. Incentives managed to help increase the production volume of Dutch films, as well as the number of commercial films, but these successes were short-lived. In the end, the Dutch film sector did not become self-sufficient. Policy was focused too much on production and failed to implement measures specifically for demand. However, shifting the emphasis in policy to demand does not guarantee a better result, because all that is certain in the movie business is that nothing is predictable. 76 pp. Englisch.…
