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 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 present dissertation presents a pioneer study in what concerns the Portuguese Twitter community analysis and a new system to build real-time datasets from Twitter. During the dataset creation phase we built a system to crawl data from Portuguese Twitter users. This system, TwitterEcho, allows a complete and continuous crawling process, robust enough to support the whole Portuguese community on Twitter. Throughout this dissertation we describe the system implementation details, with more incidence on the client part, since it is a distributed system. Additionally, we present the results of studies done with data retrieved by the system. After, we present the influence model proposed in this dissertation. The model was developed based on models described in the literature or used in commercial applications. We detail the processes of gathering the metrics used to influence measurement. This involves the application of data-analysis techniques to the content produced by Twitter users. Finally, we show the results obtained by the model after its application on a dataset created from TwitterEcho. we also present a preliminary validation of the model, and future ways to validate it. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A biometric authentication system based on face recognition is implemented and described in this work. The proposed algorithm is a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a Feature based technique which is based on the two modalities used in face recognition i.e. The Holistic approach and Feature-based approach. PCA which was used as our mainstay algorithm, based on information theory concepts, seeks a computational model that best describes a face, by extracting the most relevant information contained in that face. With the feature based, we localized and measured some key features of the face such as the width and height of the face and the head midpoint. Based on this measurement, we generated a weight also for each image which we then combine with the weights computed from the eigenface approach. Recognition and authentication is performed by projecting a probe to the proposed system. Olivetti Research Lab (ORL) face database along with the face database we constructed (Colface face database) from images taken of fifty subjects of pure black population at varying pose and light intensities were used to test the system. A good and considerable result was achieved 96 pp. Englisch.…
