Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is devoted to a range of technological problems concerning the growth of magnetically managed carbon nanotubes (CNT) and the development of spintronic nanomemory devices. The issues related to CNTs growth with a predefined morphology are regarded as key challenges for effective CNTs creation and utilization in novel nanoelectronic devices. Particular emphasis is placed on defining and studying CNTs interconnects with Fe-Pt ferromagnetic nanodrops and substrates as prospective elements for magnetic nanomemory devices and nanosensors. The discussion is focused on appropriate spin transport models and magnetoresistance phenomena for spin-valves systems based on CNTs forest and Fe-Pt layers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The study tests the use of vowel duration as a cue for the voicing of the following stop by Saudi ESL learners. It is built on the Language Transfer Theory (LTT) established by Gass and Selinker (1994), the Ontogeny Phylogeny Model (OPM) formulated by Major (2001), the Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM) developed by Best (1994, 1995), and the Speech Learning Model (SLM) founded by Flege (1995). The instrument contained 30 English monosyllabic minimal pairs of the type CVC. The participants, who were living in the US, consisted of two groups: 5 advanced Saudi ESL learners with linguistic knowledge and 10 advanced Saudi ESL learners without linguistic knowledge. Results showed that both groups were fairly accurate at predicting final unvoiced Coronal and Dorsal stops after a shorter vowel. Conversely, they both had equal difficulties predicting voiced stops in this environment. Individual participants, overall, were quite uniform in their responses regardless of any background in linguistics. Finding suggests that all participants relied much more on the actual voicing of the final stops than they did on the length of the preceding vowel.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The present book is based on articles that were presented and initially published in the Bulgarian Comparative Education Society in the last few years, which has been an important forum for discussing diversity and its potentials and challenges for organizations, including educational ones. The main argument is that multicultural thinking can help devise concrete ways to tap on the advantages of having a culturally diverse environment and to competently respond to it. We contend that educating future teachers, managers, engineers and other professionals in a multicultural perspective can be a central asset in order to attain that aim, particularly in an increasingly diverse contemporary world. Multicultural organizations arguably mitigate organizational situations in which envy could potentially flourish therefore contributing to fostering organizational conduct that leads to institutional social responsibility. The authors hope the book can provide food for thought so as to help turn organizational environments into nurturing, multicultural sites for human growth and development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The special relativity needs to be supplemented due to its defects and deficiencies¿this book first introduces the axiom of invariant equilibrium of force, a fact that has been widely recognized, derives a transformation formula of force for the special relativity from the above axiom, and verifies the transformation formula of force with deflection results of charged particle in magnetic field; in addition, proposes new concept of relative time dilation and absolute time dilation based on experimental results by J. C. Hafele and R. E. Keating, scientifically works out twin paradox and concludes that people are unable to travel in time. As for the general relativity, based on conclusion of the axiom of invariant equilibrium of force, different from inertia mass, the gravitational mass of an object is a constant irrelevant to kinematic velocity of the object. Only the object that moves at low velocity, such as the Earth, has inertia mass approximately equal to gravitational mass. The inference of the general relativity thus is true. This book comes up with many new ideas and concepts with simple and understandable analysis and deduction, which is believed to be inspired to readers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Although goat production occurs throughout the country, goat milk production is limited and is only undertaken in the semi-arid regions in the south western parts of the country. Dairy goat production has been gaining popularity in many countries around the world in the recent years among the small scale farmers.There,however, has not been much attention given to goat milk production in the smallholder areas despite its nutritional, health, and potential for niche export markets. This book therefore ascertains the primary reasons for keeping goats in smallholder areas where goats are milked, determines and analyzes the socio-economic factors influencing goat milk production.The book shows the potential that exist to stimulate goat milk production in the smallholder areas targeting improved disease control through accessibility of veterinary medicines and vaccines.Government and research organizations can deliberately formulate strategies to introduce improved goat milk breeds and promote the development of para-veterinary programs as a way of diversifying income sources and promoting the development and eventual commercialization of goat milk production in Zimbabwe.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The RAFU method on approximation uses radical functions (RAFU functions) of odd index to approximate an arbitrary function from the knowledge of its values, or its approximate values, at a set of points. The main goal of this book is to show to the scientific community all the results published until now about this approximation procedure [Co1, Co2, Co3] in a complete work so that they could be applied in the cases that the researchers consider appropriate to do it. As far as we know, the work is original. It does not impress with the difficulties it overcomes. It does not contain complicated calculations or reasonings, but we think that the importance of this technique to solve approximation problems will balance the deficiency of difficulties. We will show some ideas about the beginning of the RAFU method. We will study the approximation of continuous functions defined in [a,b] by means of the RAFU method and its topological foundation. Moreover, we will use this approximation procedure to approach functions belonging to different smoothness spaces.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -According to their types of duties in a sentence, the meaning of the sentence varies. Therefore, in order to determine the exact meaning of the words in a sentence, the type and duty of the words should be examined. After the type determination process, the word phrases can be obtained. In Turkish, depending on the word combinations, different word phrases can be occurred based on the types of the words. For this reason, all phrase possibilities should be considered during type determination process. After determining the word phrases, word clauses can be detected. The most common problem faced in Natural Language Processing studies for Turkish is ambiguity problem. By determining word clauses, the ambiguities can be mainly solved and most exact meanings of the words can be determined. In this book, rule based algorithm for determinant of word clauses in Turkish and software based on this algorithm was developed. It was seen that, by adding more rules to the system, the results are getting more reliable.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study investigates the attitudes of Saudi EFL teachers towards integrating technology, in general, and Web 2.0 applications to promote collaborative autonomous language learning, in particular, in English language courses. The findings revealed that English teachers strongly believe that recent technology supports language learning if used properly and according to current teaching approaches; however, several teachers did not know about Web 2.0 tools such as wikis and how could such tools be used in teaching language basic skills. The paucity of pre-service and in-service teacher training courses is deemed to be one major reason behind the lack of knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The concept of Medical negligence or medical malpractice is as old as the medical practice itself. In the UK, both concepts have evolved and transformed over the years. Medical negligence litigation process in the UK is as clear as the English common law and its accompanying procedural rules. Conversely, the Saudi laws governing medical negligence is quite novel and unique as it is governed by the Shariah law. The litigation process for medical negligence is also quite in contrast to that of the English system. The comparative study of these two distinct systems would be an interesting experience for readers of this book. The book espouses a novel perspective to the conventional precepts on medical practice and medical negligence litigation process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The urban dwellers, particularly females, have desperately been penalized by abject unemployment in paid labor market. Despite of inconsiderable job discrimination by gender, females¿ employment status is significantly lower and unemployment status is rampant compared to males¿. With increasing of labor supply in the market and comparatively limited demand for labor by employers, females are recommended to adjust their socioeconomic, demographic and cultural characteristics so as to prosper their likelihood of finding job in paid labor market. The purpose of the study is to scrutinize measure and recommend some socioeconomic, demographic and cultural factors that could supposedly increase odds of female employment. Logistic regression technique is employed on two consecutive Demographic and Health Survey data, separately, to estimate the odds ratios of female employment in paid labor market. The econometric findings from both survey datasets show that most of the selected socioeconomic, demographic and cultural individual characteristics influence females¿ propensity of finding job in paid labor market.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -It was our aim to establish an in vitro differentiation system to prime BALB/c IgM-/-embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for lymphocyte development. We characterised the BALB/c IgM-/- ESC line for markers of pluripotency by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and by epifluorescence. Thus, we characterised this cell line for the congenic marker expression of CD45.1 and CD45.2 on their surface. As B cell development takes place in the bone marrow, the differentiated embryonic stem cells should have the capacity to home to the developmental niches after transfer. Therefore, we investigated the homing capacity through Transwell migration assays against C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12=SDF1), which represents a powerful attractant for stem cells and progenitor cells and guides the cells to their developmental bone marrow niches.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -An irrational number can be represented in many ways. A less known representation is the one by continued fractions. Continued fractions give the best approximation of irrational numbers by rational numbers. Through the centuries many variants of continued fractions were used and invented. For example the Greeks used Euclid¿s divisor algorithm and Christiaan Huygens used continued fractions to construct his famous planetarium. The modern history started with Gauss who found the invariant measure of the regular continued fraction. After this many others, like famous probabilists Paul Lévy and Wolfgang Doeblin, contributed to what we now call the ¿metric theory of continued fractions¿. In this book we will take a look at some forms of continued fractions. Also, we will introduce a new continued fraction and study its properties.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

The two main scanners at the Ports seem inadequate in serving the consignment of goods which arrive on a daily basis. It has become usual to see many vehicles queuing up, waiting their turn for scanning. In certain cases, these vehicles stay for days before they get the chance to be examined by the scanning machine. With the help of queuing theory and its excellent applications,certain useful recommendations were proposed to the Authority of Ghana Ports and Harbors to implement in order to ease or eliminate the congestion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Leprosy, also known as Hansen¿s disease, is an ancient disease retaining strong historic association with stigma. Almost everyone knows the word ¿Leprosy¿ yet facts and fiction related to the disease are commonly confused. In spite of nearly three decades of intensive research into the immunology of leprosy, the mechanism by which M.leprae is able to elicit the entire range of human cellular immune responses has still not been explained. The spectrum of host response to M.leprae provides a model for investigating the role of a cytokine in the pathogenesis of mycobaterial disease. Ceramide, a major lipid in lipid bilayer is prevalent on nerve cells. This book will focus on the various aspect of immunological mechanism that contributes to the protection as well as pathological aspects of host response to leprosy. This book will also highlight the significance of anticeramide antibodies titre which could serve as a marker for nerve damage in leprosy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.
