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.

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). 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. 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 64 pp. Englisch.…

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. 88 pp. Englisch.…

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. 148 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Judicial Commission is the state institution which was established after the 1998 people s movement in Indonesia. The purpose of the establishment of this institution is to create a more independent and professional judiciary and judges. The Judicial Commission has primary roles to carry out the selection of Supreme Court Justices and to oversee the judges behavior. To optimize these roles, the Judicial Commission established a public participation mechanism, known as the network of the Judicial Commission. These mechanisms give civil society not only the right to give ideas, but it is also officially involved in implementing programs and conducting evaluations. With the public involvement in all stages, it is hoped that on one hand the role of the public will be stronger and be able to participate in supervising the performance of these state institutions. On the other hand the performance of the state institution will be increased and the integrity of the institution will also be maintained. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The research study aims to explore the Cultivation Theory as proposed by Gerbner & Gross in 1976 in the Pakistani context and whether if it applies in the same or not. In the same perspective, it also identifies the existence of the concepts of consumerism and materialism within the people of Pakistan and how and if they have changed or helped develop the self-identities of the Pakistanis. It is believed that prolonged exposure of television and its content can cause people to adopt the values propagated in it as an inherent way of life, ultimately causing cultures to change. Since consumerism, materialism and self-identities are closely tied to cultures, the study has been explored in light of Edward T. Hall s Cultural Iceberg Model in order to provide the reader a clearer understanding of the topic under study; all of this being discovered by means of qualitative methods of research. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book assesses the effects of terms of trade, volume of import and export on economic growth as measured by South Africa s value of GDP. The distinctive feature of this study is that terms of tradeand economic growth is examined from a time series perspective.The importance of the study lies with a policy perception that the element of trade liberalization adds a significance value to government s decision making process with regard to comprehending the underlying supply capacity of the economy. The distinctive feature of this study is that terms of trade and economic growth is examined from a time series perspective. An important and interesting matter worth noting from the research is that the empirical results present both the volume of export and the terms of trade as positively related to growth whilst volume of imports is negatively related to growth. Given these outcomes, the paper therefore concludes that the price effects from tradable goods (including gold) and other services have a significant role in stimulating South Africa s economic growth. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book deals with the elastic stress analysis of a steel wire reinforced composite disc with aluminium matrix subjected to temperature specified thermal gradient across the thickness, for the case of radially inward heat flow with linearly increasing temperature distribution has been carried out. Equations for tangential and radial stresses were established from equilibrium, constitutive, compatibility relations and Fourier s heat conduction equations for temperature specified boundary conditions of different thermal gradients. The analysis has been carried out by varying volume fraction of steel wire reinforcement with two independent Al & CI matrix materials. The values of tangential and radial stress com ponents that have occurred under the effect of the temperature gradient across the outer surface of the disc towards the inner surface have been obtained by both analytical and numerical method using FEA. The results of analytical analysis and numerical analysis are closely matches. The results shows the thermal stresses generated in cast iron-steel composites are higher than the aluminium-steel composites. 60 pp. Englisch.…
