Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The theory of physical phenomena called 'the dipole radiation' is full of surprises. The book starts with one of them. Let a particle does not produce any electric or magnetic field due to lack of charge and dipole moment, but at some moment of time $t=0$, it polarizes and since this moment on, produces a stationary dipole field. Due to the causality principle, the filed is cut at the distance $ct$. Then its lines of force have endpoints which signify presence of electric charge. On one hand, this picture follows straightforwardly from the theory of retarded potentials, on the other hand, these considerations are apparently broken, because polarization of a particle does not create electric charges running away with speed of light. In this book two possible modifications of the method of retarded potentials are considered and, after their failure, Maxwell equations are solved as they stand. Comparison of retarded potentials with exact solutions of the Maxwell equations discloses further surprises.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Rapid visibility changes often threaten aviation safety and interrupt airport operations. And visibility changes caused by fog are difficult to forecast. Then fog droplet spectra and its profiles were observed to understand fog evolution. Under fog layers thinner than 130 m fog droplets smaller than 40¿m were important which were expected to be strongly influenced by condensation process for poor visibility. And under thicker fog layers, short visibility caused of larger droplets expected to be affected by coalescence process. Temporary improvement and degrading of visibility were strongly affected by downward transport of drier air parcels and settlement of fog droplets from upper denser fog layers. These vertical motions and droplets settlement played an important role to change visibility rapidly.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -From 2007, studies have suggested a role of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) in glucose metabolism. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship of ucOC level and blood glucose (BG) control in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (t2D) and its change with BG control improvement. Fifty seven newly diagnosed t2D patients had a consultation about life style changes on visit 1 but no BG regulation medication. The final visit (2) was after three months. BG metabolism and bone turnover parameters were measured on visit 1 and 2. Thirty two patients reached the target HbA1c (¿7%). No correlation of ucOC and HbA1c and FBG was observed. Median HbA1c and FBG changed significantly (8.0 to 6.5%; 9.0 to 7.0 mmol/L resp.; Wilcoxon signed rank test pBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Diabetes mellitus is a major and current epidemic disease of the human race implicated with numerous clinical manifestations.The impinging poverty particularly in Africa clearly indicates the urgent need to develop new therapeutic drugs that are cheap and available.A number of protein-rich seeds such as that of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) are commonly used in traditional medicine with increasing acclaimed efficacy against diabetes mellitus. Many people eat the watermelon flesh and discard the seeds not knowing what they are missing with regards to medicinal values. Both the petroleum ether and ethanol extracts of the seeds of watermelon have been found to decrease significantly the raised blood glucose levels of alloxan-induced diabetes in mice. Results have therefore shown that the seeds of watermelon have some potentiality as anti-diabetic medication. People should therefore stop discarding the seeds when eating watermelon.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Marketing of any product depends on how consumers behave whenever they have an explicit or implicit need for any product or service. Consumers make numerous decisions everyday; sometimes even when they are not consciously aware of how and why they have made a choice. Every market segment for each product has its own purchase motivation. Price may be the important element when the product differences are viewed by that particular segment as being of little consequence. For others brand can be an important motive because they fear the risk involved in buying the untried item. For a great many products the point of distribution may be the most important deciding element. Quite often the final determinant is that of mere habit. Whatever the purpose, it is important to understand the patronage of purchase motives in relation to a specific market segment.This book is a snapshot about the different influences in buying decision of FMCG in the Indian Perspective.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Experiencing darkest moments is an inevitable part of entrepreneurship. Although these moments come in various forms and intensities, they are deep, dark and make entrepreneurs question their choices. However, very little academic literature exists on this topic. This book analyses what causes the darkest moments through the stories of other entrepreneurs including the author. It examines different sets of factors which lead entrepreneurs to either successfully overcome their darkest moments or abandon their entrepreneurial venture. It studies the learning of entrepreneurs from such moments. This book guides entrepreneurs through their journey, and should therefore be useful to any existing entrepreneurs or those who left and want to make sense of their experience.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book explores the current role of body art in Western Society. The question is whether body art still defines gender roles and social status as it has done in other societies in its history, or if it is simply used to express ones interior thoughts and beliefs Literature presented in this book studies the framework of Sherif's social judgment theory (1965) concerning public perceptions and evaluation. The study used in this book was informed by Barthes' (1994) idea of semiotics. The idea incorporates the 'social production of meaning from sign systems-the analysis of anything that can stand for something.' (P. 332) Lastly, signaling theory deals with the idea of symbolic communication and social benefit as it relates to individual strategic action. Together, the three theories guided the book's focus on the factors that come into play when deciding gender roles, social status, symbols, and the meaning that is interpreted from those symbols. The insight from the literature and results of the study conducted lead to the realization of a few things, and this book will guide you through those few things strategically.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -We demonstrate that macrocyclic pyrazolic compounds are expected to form stable complexes both with transition and alkali metals, while acyclic pyrazole compounds containing one, two, three or four pyrazole rings only form complexes with transition metal cations. They do not complex alkali metal cations at all. This serves to emphasise the novel peculiarity of the ligands containing linked pyrazole groups.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Legume crop residues have better feeding potential than their cereal counterpart residues. Even though vetch is produced at high level in the western part of Oromia (Ethiopian), farmers are not using vetch haulm as livestock feed resources rather used as organic fertilized due to their wrong perception on the feeding value of vetch haulm. To change the perception of the farmers towards vetch haulm (Lathyrus sativus haulm), feeding trial was performed using a yearling lambs. This book, therefore, provides relevant information on the feeding value of sole vetch haulm as well as vetch haulm supplemented with meal of locally available browse plant (Acacia albida) in sheep. In this book, it was highlighted that farmers can keep their animal at a least for a period of four months only by feeding vetch haulm where such successes cannot be achieved by feeding reside from cereal crops. Moreover, ad libitum feeding with vetch haulm supplemented with protein source from A. albida was suggested as fattening ration for sheep.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -With the aim of offsetting the disadvantages of chitosan as a natural polymer and to favor some of its advantages, this study evaluates a new material from the mixture of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) for the application of flexible packaging. Nevertheless, due to the low availability of chitosan in Colombia, chitin was extracted from shrimp shells and it was processed later to obtain chitosan. In the first stage, chitosan was obtained to a degree of deacetylation of 77.76%. Subsequently, the formulation from the mix of chitosan and PVOH was established and the films were prepared with the method of Solution Casting. The films were then subject to a tensile strength test, whose results allowed to establish that the new biopolymer is not suitable for applications such as flexible packaging in the food industry. Furthermore, the films with a PVOH percentages of 20% and 80% were tested using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and oxygen permeability, whose results allowed again to establish that these formulations are processable at high temperatures, but not suitable as barrier polymer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dio Chrysostom was a member of the Second Sophistic, an intellectual movement of the early imperial period in the Graeco-Roman world. Despite its name, Second Sophistic had little to do with the original Sophistic of the 5th century BC. whose members were first rate intellectuals of democratic ideological disposition. On the contrary, Dio and the other members of the Second Sophistic were rather second ¿rate ones with rather conformistic ideas. Dio. Though was a brilliant rhetor and a man of a more humane disposition towards the people of the lower-classes. In his voluminous body of his work that has survived, he used his cynic and stoic background in order, among other things to construct an ideology of slavery and freedom as spiritual, esoteric conditions of mind. Thus, his discourses are of less interest as sources of social history . His views influenced the Christian Fathers, thus helping their construction of social and philosophical theory. So. This book might be of interest to people who would like to be informed on the history of the idea of slavery, especially in the first and second century AD.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book proposes a solution to the agency-determinism debate by defining humans as super-adaptable agents. Humans super-adapt by deploying cognitive solutions to evolutionary survival challenges. Homo sapiens has, thus, transformed the evolutionary process into an intellectual exercise that proceeds at the speed of thought. Cognitive super-adaptation enables humans to significantly accelerate the adaptation process, while it also transforms adaptation from a random to a highly specific problem solving process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -For embedded real-time systems that run on energy drawn from storage units (e.g. batteries) and furthermore the energy stored in those units is harvested from ambiance (e.g. the sun) there is a major issue of energy availability for the processing unit to comply with all requirements. The problem, as one might imagine, is the instability of energy sources. The ideal situation is that whenever the operating system is active then it possesses enough energy to comply with all requirements. In this work an idea to achieve that goal is illustrated and furthermore it is implemented and tested for one specific real-time operating system (Xenomai-2.6.3) that runs under Linux-3.5.7. In this system the idea is to modify the scheduler of the real-time operating system in such a way to make it encounter for the energy level available. So continuously the Xenomai¿s scheduler examines the energy level and as long as it is above certain threshold it continues normally (i.e. invoking the highest priority task to be executed) and when the level drops below the threshold the scheduler suspends real-time tasks and switches to idle status, till energy level is restored.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The Irish Defence Forces employs 9,500 personnel. Approximately 3,139 of that number are Non- Commissioned Officers (NCOs) who have changed career paths into civilian roles since 2000. Many of these individuals have found the transition from a military career to a civilian career challenging. One of the most pertinent challenges has been the lack of any appreciation for the range of transferrable skills that are gained by NCOs in their military careers. This book aims to identify what transferrable skills contribute to the transition from a military career to a civilian career. In so doing, it will also consider some broader research objectives, including the identification of the obvious soft skills, that are readily transferable from a military context to a professional civilian career; the evaluation of the military skills that are readily transferrable from a military career to civilian context that are less obvious; an examination of some skills that employers might find useful from former military personnel.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study examines Ismäili individuals¿ ¿lived religion¿ through personal views on religious values combined with daily practices in German society. Since a Eurocentric view on Islam often fails to recognize the complexities of Muslim communities while emphasizing the Muslim faith as incompatible with ¿modernity¿, the current study of the Ismäili branch serves as an example of Muslim practices that adapt and adjust its divine principles to a modern and secular society while maintaining its unique religious identity. Important values of everyday life are observed in connection to Ulrich Beck¿s and Anthony Giddens¿ ¿reflexive modernity¿ theory as a process that encompasses old and new traditions while adapting ambiguous and pluralist forms of contemporary societies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -'When charged particles pass through a crystal along a crystallographic direction, the coherent scattering on the lattice atoms forces the particles to follow the lattice direction. The transmission through an aligned crystal is very different from the passage through an amorphous foil, and drastically changes the interaction with the crystal atoms. This channeling effect has many applications at low energy within both fundamental and applied physics. Also when the crystal is bent, the particles will follow the crystallographic direction. In this way, a crystal can deflect a high-energy beam corresponding to a magnetic field around 1000 Tesla.' Soren P. MollerBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.
