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 -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).

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.

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.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Forced marriage is an issue hidden from mainstream society due to the extreme and fearful nature of the crime. Only recently has the issue been surfaced due to the voicing of concerns of friends and peers of the victims who are unable to attain any assistance. There has been a significant rise in incidences of this crime in recent years with a notable increase of such incidents since 2007. This book highlights the complexity of the concepts within the issue of forced marriage. The discourse assesses the various literature regarding the different themes highlighted from the phenomenon of forced marriage. The debate in this book establishes that the relationship between concepts of 'gender empowerment' and 'honour'is highly complex and therefore applying practical solutions to the issue could prove highly problematic This book should prove useful for academic students in undergraduate programmes within the fields of Crimiology, Sociology and Psychology. Furthermore this book should appeal to victim services in order to gain a better understanding of forced marriages and how to control such a crime. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Development has eluded Africa since time immemorial. Various measures have been put in place to accelerate the pace of development in Africa. Measures like The Lagos Plan of Action, The Final Act of Lagos, Africa's Priority Program for Economic Recovery (1986-1990) among others were adopted to spearhead this developmental agenda. Confronting the danger of the failure of these plans, NEPAD, a new development paradigm was introduced to take up the developmental agenda in Africa. Priority programs like infrastructural development, science and technology, agricultural development and good governance, etc, were some of the programs adopted by NEPAD as vehicles to eradicate poverty in Africa. In spite of all these, Africa, and for that matter NEPAD, is hugely challenged vis-à-vis resources to accomplish this vision. Resource mobilization through Capital Flow Initiative and Market Access Initiative had not been effective due to a variety of reasons, and this book has carefully assessed these reasons. This book also establishes that resource mobilization is a sine qua non for the implementation of NEPAD's programs and hence, the need for effective mobilization of resources in Africa. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The important issue in an emergency situation is how to maintain communication and coordinate responder agencies that are specialized in different areas, like police, firefighters, and mediacal services. Among those agencies, communication is essential in policing for not only maintaining public safety, but also for taking the proper action in a timely manner. Enormous advances in the IT field have been seen in the last decades, and are promising new improvements in the area of communication. Combining computers and mobile phones as handheld devices having communication capabilities, and increasing their hardware and software capabilities, for example, opens a new area in terms of improving communications of the responders. In spite of these advances in the mobile technology field, a small screen display is still a big concern, because people in the field need a system that can be easily manipulated. To overcome the limitations of handheld devices, a new concept has been proposed in this book: using icons to facilitate writing and sending messages. 92 pp. Englisch.

The armed forces were anti-people, indisciplined, consisted predominantly of certain ethnic groups, led by officers with little or no education, deployed mainly for internal suppression of the population than protection of Uganda from external threats and were used by the leaders to acquire or retain power. Within the great lakes region, the population still battle with the debris of these conflicts, a situation that perfectly illustrates the importance of social and political stability and attests to the need to pay more attention to this sensitive sector. Parliament as one of the three arms of government (including the executive and the judiciary) is faced with the obligation of carrying out oversight on all aspects of government activity, security inclusive. This book therefore, examines the extent to which Uganda's new constitutional order has impacted on security sector governance and explores the contribution of parliamentary oversight in putting a stop to insecurity and fostering stability. 88 pp. Englisch.

As more individuals live and age with a disability, professionals in healthcare and mental health need to conceptualize disability as a lifelong condition instead of an acute condition with little consideration of possible future transitions. The Life Course Disability model presented here seeks to bridge that gap and help professionals understand disability as both an acute and a chronic condition with the possibility of multiple transitions throughout one s lifespan. Using polio survivors to illustrate its dimensions, the reliability and usefulness can help professionals and researchers assess disability in a new way. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realised are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. Mutual Funds have played an important role in the growth of Indian Economy especially in Post Liberalization era (1991 onwards). Many ups and downs have been seen in the market since then. The book is a compilation of the ideas, thoughts and experiences of Mutual Funds in the Indian Economy and gives the glimpse of the Analysis and Performace in the selected Mutual funds. The book also help the researchers to frame the research plan on the strong fundamentals of Mutual Fund industry in future. 116 pp. Englisch.
