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 -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.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. 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.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has been written to clarify the doubts of occlusal plane orientation during the fabrication of complete denture. The purpose was to assess the most appropriate point on tragus to be used as a reference point at time of marking ala tragus line while establishing occlusal plane. The data was collected in two groups of subjects- 1) Dentulous 2) Edentulous [30 {15male, 15 female}each]. Downs analysis was used for base value. Lateral cephalographs were taken for all selected subjects. Three points were marked on tragus as Superior (S), Middle (M) & Inferior (I)& were joined with ala (A) of the nose to form ala-tragus lines. The angle formed by each line (SA plane, MA plane, IA plane) with Frankfort Horizontal (FH) plane was measured by using custom made device & modified protractor in all dentulous & edentulous subjects. Also in dentulous subjects angle between Frankfort Horizontal plane and natural occlusal plane was measured.Angulations of ala-tragus line marked from inferior point with occlusal plane in dentulous subject had given the smallest value 2.46 which shows that this ala-tragus line was nearly parallel to occlusal plane.Inferior point on tragus is most appropriate. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Arterial stiffness increases cardiovascular disease risk for stroke, myocardial infarction, and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of resistance exercise intensity on arterial stiffness and blood pressure. Two resistance exercise conditions, low and high intensity, were compared. In a longitudinal, cross-over study design, thirty-two subjects (n=32, 17 male, mean age= 24.6) completed both conditions on separate days. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used as a measure of central and peripheral arterial stiffness at baseline, at 15 minutes post, and at 30 minutes post exercise. Central PWV increased in the low mode and returned toward baseline at 30 minutes post-exercise (p0.05). Central PWV did not change in the high mode. Peripheral PWV increased in the low mode and remained elevated at 30 minutes post-exercise (p0.05). Peripheral PWV did not change in the high mode. Mean blood pressure (MAP) (p.05) decreased following low but did not change following high (p.05). Neither low nor high had any effect on indices of heart rate variability. These findings suggest that exercise intensity has differential effects on blood pressure and arterial stiffness. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Exclusive breastfeeding practice in high prevalence settings remains a challenge because of likelihood of HIV transmission through breast milk. In the context of HIV, Zambia recommends exclusive breastfeeding for HIV-positive mothers for first six months of life unless replacement feeding is acceptable, feasible, affordable, sustainable and safe for them, and their infants (MOH&NFNC2007). This recommendation is based on the World Health Organization 2006 guidance on HIV, and Infant Feeding in the context of HIV. The study hypothesised that socio-demographic characteristics, cultural beliefs, service characteristics, and maternal related characteristics influence EBF option among the HIV positive mothers. Detailed methodology regarding aspects of data collection, and analysis are highlighted in chapter four of this book. The book provides detailed results in chapter five, and suggestions for improvement, and future research. The information contained in this book is useful for policy makers, infant and young child feeding counselors, lactating mothers, and community support systems in their quest to improve infant and young child feeding practices especially in the context of HIV. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the several differences between a normal and a neoplastic cell is that there is a physiological limit to the number of possible cell replications in the former, whereas it appears to be unlimited in the latter. For this reason, cancer cells are thought to undergo a phenomenon of immortalization. The chromosome extremities contain structurally defined elements called telomeres. In normal somatic cells, each mitotic cycle leads to a reduction of telomere length until a critical point is reached. Telomere erosion to this critical length presents a signal for the cell to arrest further divisions and to undergo cellular senescence or to activate apoptosis. Telomeres that avoid critical shortening could, theoretically, replicate endlessly, thereby immortalizing the cell. One mechanism to restore telomere length is the activation of a specific reverse transcriptase called telomerase. Up-regulation of the telomerase enzyme provides immortalizing capacity to neoplastic cells. 100 pp. Englisch.
