Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Traditional small scale irrigation system dominates in Amhara region, Yilmana Densa district, and furrow irrigation being widely used to apply water to crop lands. Typically, the design and management of irrigation systems in the region is very poor for many reasons such as irrigators control over the inflow rate is minimal, no land grading operation, most of the time furrow length is too short due to fragmented land holdings; no predetermined application time, all these led to excessive water losses due to deep percolation and surface runoff. Furrow irrigation is used to irrigate multiple crops in the study area. Excessive water loss due to poor water management is a major problem. The study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effect of furrow length and flow rate on irrigation efficiencies, yield and water use efficiency of potato crop in relatively short furrows (50 m) using field experiment and computer simulation studies. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The importance of retaining a stable position by maintaining quality in a competitive market has been in focus for decades. Service quality is considered to be a vital strategy for survival and success in today¿s competitive environment. Although there have been an emphasis in quality overall, the research in companies performance within a business-to-business approach is still largely unexplored. This research concluded the factors that indicate various quality levels in recruitment companies.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Mobile IPv6 is an IP-layer protocol that is designed to provide mobility support. It allows an IPv6 node to arbitrarily change its location in the IPv6 network while maintaining the existing connection by handling the change of addresses at the Internet layer. Route optimization is standard in Mobile IPv6 to eliminate inefficient triangle routing. Return routability protocol was adopted by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which is an infrastructureless, lightweight procedure used in route optimization. However, return routability protocol is to protect messages and is not able to detect or prevent an attacker which tampers against data. In this book, focus is given on Mobile IPv6 route optimization with enhanced security in terms of data integrity. It also provides a step-by-step implementation of Mobile IPv6 in real test-bed environment.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The interaction between groundwater and surface water is one of the main topics of interest in hydrogeology. It is recognized that such interaction affects quantitatively (through exchanged of water volumes leading to complex flow patterns) and qualitatively (by contaminant transport) both water systems. Today, the most common approach for analyzing such interactions is mathematical modeling. This book gives an attempt to analyze the interaction between the aquifer system and the lakes Plumbuita and Fundeni, located in Bucharest City, Romania. For the qualitative assessment of the goroundwater, four hypothetical contaminant transport models (for nitrate which was found with concentrations exceeding the admissible threshold) were developed. The contamination source was considered to be the sewer system that is located at only three meters above the first aquifer system. Such technique, as the one approached for this case of study, is believed to allow the understanding of the communication between the two systems (groundwater and surface water).

Neuware -One of the most important and prominent facets of a representative democracy is the relationship between an elected official and the people he or she represents. The electoral process allows the population to directly select their representatives. Some officials can be removed if they are perceived to be improperly managing their position, whether through votes of no confidence, impeachment, or recall vote. Public opinion polling is a constant presence in that democracy, attempting to show just how a populace feels about an issue their representatives will ultimately deal with. But do those representatives care Although the president is not directly elected, the public plays a very large role in his selection by choosing the electors who ultimately elect him. Thus does public opinion alter the behavior of the president, an officer with a four-year term who rarely faces impeachment.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Loan words compose a particular chapter in the field of translation. The current book has been set out to investigate the phenomenon of loanwords in medical translation. To achieve depth in the analysis, we are going to investigate the presence and the use of loanwords, in medical terminology. The language pair that we examine is from English to Greek and vice versa. We examine the type, the style, the register, the grammatical and syntactical structure of the texts, with the use of some examples. We highlight various definitions of loanword, calque and loan translation. Furthermore,we present a historical review of the English, Greek and Latin language through centuries. Finally we refer to some methodology techniques followed by translators and linguistics all over the world.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) is a communication exceptionality which requires visual support of audio produced information (Hutchinson, 2009). Historically, DHH children encounter more literacy difficulties than their peers with normal hearing (Lieu, 2004). The connection between literacy skills and academic retention is well documented and accepted (Leybaert, 2005; Lieu, 2004; Trezek & Malmgren, 2005). Leybaert (2005) and Trezek and Malmgren (2005) found DHH high school graduates have reading abilities that are comparable to non-impaired hearing Grade 4 students. This finding may lead to the incorrect conclusion that DHH students cannot develop reading skills similar to their hearing peers. Also, given the various causes and types of hearing loss, teachers can expect to be instructing at least one student who is DHH in their classroom (Pakulski & Kadervek, 2002).Overall, participant interviews revealed barriers to inclusive classroom practices. Future studies may wish to examine both pre-service and teachers¿ beliefs toward inclusionary practice.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book discussed about effectiveness of the treatment program on reading self-concept, reading attitude, reading motivation among dislexia students. Results of this study ilustrated that the treatment program was effective in improving reading motivation, reading self-concept, reading attitude and reading skils of dislexic students. Previous studies showed that dislexic students failure to read causes them to be less motivation toward reading, more negative self concept and more negative attitude. A positive reading self-concept, reading attitude and reading motivation is widely believed to play a key role in students success.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work find out that education imparts tremendous role on youth and that too on women as decision making power of young girls improves substantially with increase in education. So imparting education to girls is much more beneficial in this sense. It also suggest that there is a need of changing the mental block of typical gender bias in vocational training in the context of the demographic dividend in India and the data shows that youth are willing to have vocational training if provision is made. Male agency is higher than female but interestingly with education female decision making and freedom of movement increases much faster than male. As a whole with increase years of education youth agency increases significantly and Muslims are having lower agency compared to Hindu in southern states 72 pp. Englisch.

But the critiques are rarely grounded in the experiences of the local people in the development context. From an actor-oriented perspective this research put emphasis on how a good governance project in Uganda, influences local community members, who take active part in the project as local community monitors. The research points to the fact that the conditions, which enable political action of the poor exists in this specific project arena. Furthermore, the project and the political action of the poor thereby creates channels through which the poor can influence local politics. It can thereby be argued, that the political space created for the poor can help enable poverty reduction. The analysis should help shed light on the good governance agenda in development aid, seen from an actors perspective. The analysis can be especially useful to professionals in the fields of Development, Sociology and Political Science. It is directed at both researchers and development specialists, with the hope of bridging the fields of research and development work. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study aims to analyze the underlying social, economic, cultural, and institutional factors that had enabled Turkey s transition from authoritarian single-party rule to multi-party democracy in 1946. The main strands of theories of democratization are employed to provide a multivariate explanation for the peaceful transfer of state power. The study concludes that although it is not possible to claim a hierarchy among explanatory factors, the elites' commitment to democratic ideals appears to be a key determining factor alongside a major socio-economic and political transformation. Therefore, this book should provide useful insights into the theories of democratization, Turkish politics and democratization process in Turkey. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book is expected to be significant to a number of people and agencies that are connected with the King s system as well as to government agencies. The book may also be meaningful to the community of scholars who are particularly interested in the leadership styles of traditional leaders. Acknowledgement of the Asante King s leadership styles might help people to know how to interact well with the him. In addition, it might be significant to a traditional authority like the Asante King and his administrators, who seek to clear peoples misgivings towards the traditional institution. The book examines the strengths and weaknesses of the King s leadership to possibly enable him to adjust his administrative style, if deemed necessary upon acceptance of the recommendations made. This kind of information can be important if the leader is keen on achieving the visions, goals, and missions of his territory. Whereas little documentation is available on the King s leadership and that people refer to oral tradition on issues relating thereto, the book s findings may therefore be helpful for documentation of the leadership structure of the Asante King. 92 pp. Englisch.

Seizures are associated with an increase in sympathetic activity resulting in altered cardiac activity. ECG and EEG telemetry as well as cardiac histology were used to investigate cardiac function following seizures induced by kainic acid in the rat. Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is more prevalent in males therefore this thesis aimed to examine the effect of gender on seizure activity and cardiac abnormalities. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the context of a rapidly globalized world, with the apparent shift towards a knowledge driven economy; the capacity of enterprise and business development to support the processes of learning and innovation, through business clustering, has been identified as a key source of competitive advantages. Despite of this, the absence of business clustering and the resultant weak inter-firms linkages and the weak cooperation with other supportive institutions have undermined the learning and competitive capacity of MSEs in Burayu. MSEs are in a position of weak technology transfer and mastery due to low collective learning; low productivity and inefficient work practices. As a result, they are not in a fertile environment to grow to medium to large scale firms by generating profits for reinvestment and adopting new production practices.Changing the current situations, therefore, needs developing strong business clustering and linkages that foster entrepreneurial behaviour and innovations through collective learning. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Before the credit crunch of August 2007, some researches were warning that interaction between macroeconomic and financial variables should be taken as a central issue in economics. Even though, the lack of financial variables in macro models, especially in policy decision making level, became one of the most obvious shortcomings of macroeconomic theory during the recent financial crisis, and led to fundamental critique. This book, therefore, provides investigation of role of financial variables in economic modeling in case Mongolia and checks whether there is difference from previous studies if they exit. For usage of this study is not only for determining role of financial market, but also defining contribution of financial variables in macro forecasting. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Business cycle that appeared in the US between 2002 and 2009 caused serious economic turmoil which affects the economic development until today. This paper examines the ability of Austrian business cycle theory to explain the cycle. The theory claims that disequilibrium on market for loanable funds appears after monetary expansion. As a result, interest rate does not correspond to individuals preferences, which induces distortion in relative prices, capital misallocation, and unsuitable structure of production. The inevitable market correction then incurs economic recession. First, the paper describes the methodological origins of the theory and then summarizes its main principles. The description of the US economy during the examined period follows. At the end, the theory is confronted with reality. Although there are some minor differences between predictions of the theory and the actual development of the US economy, it can be concluded that Austrian business cycle theory can help us explain the recent business cycle. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mediators being human as other professionals do make mistakes. However, effective protection of the aggrieved party - the mediator's former client, is hardly possible without defining certain criteria for assessing the mediator's behaviour, as part of regulation. Therefore, recognition of the primary mediator s responsibilities as a distinct category could be of great value. This research is focused on the regulation of the mediator s standards of conduct defined in relation to the duties and responsibilities of the mediator to the parties, to the process, to non-parties or the general public, and to other professionals. An understanding of the scope of the mediator s responsibilities and their implications is gained from a review of the relevant provisions of laws, various institutional rules and ethical codes on mediation as well as from the commentaries of leading scholars and practitioners. 80 pp. Englisch.
