Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The given publication can be of interest to those, who have ever tried to comprehend the paradoxes of the spesial theory of relativity. The transformations of coordinates and time for high-energy particles and extended objects in inertial reference systems are obtained by the author taking into account the initial conditions of motion. It is shown that the events simultaneous in different points of the same inertial reference system will also be simultaneous in some other inertial reference systems. The linear sizes of the extended objects, of the solid bodies and the orbital formations of space in different inertial reference systems remain unchanged.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -As like adult patients, adolescent chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is devastating and has severe impact on quality of life. During puberty, the reproductive function of the prostate becomes active and secretions of prostate contributes main portion of semen. Prostate stays slow growth prepubertally and then grows rapidly during adolescent period due to the pubertal surge in serum testosterone. The inflammation during this rapidly changing period could insult harmful impact on normal physiological process of the prostate and adolescence is known as a critical period for mental, social and emotional development. Adolescent CPPS patients might have more psychological stress confronting CPPS due to the immature adaptability and vulnerable state. More study about the adolescent CPPS including the psychodynamic assessment would clarify this uncommon but important disorders.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book concerns a new biological method of plant nutrition. With respect to traditional chemical fertilizers nitrate, phosphate and potassium together with beneficial trace elements are not lost by diffusion through the soil after rainfall. Due to slow-release a growing plant will take-up nutrients at a rate that is compatible with their release from the mineral component. The biological fertilizer, after extensive pot experiments and field trials has shown that enhanced growth occurs over a large number of plant types. Use of the fertilizer for the vegetation of barren waste sites proved to be very successful whereas chemical fertilizers have been ineffective. Food and bio-fuel crops have equally enhanced growth. Due to the water adsorption-resorption properties of natural zeolites, field trials in semi-arid areas has shown that plants can be sustained on industrial waste sites. Countries that have natural zeolite resources are fortunate as the bio-fertilizer can be made very cheaply, without complex machinery. This will be of great benefit in un-developed countries when the method and application of the bio-fertilizer becomes firmly understood.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) experiment, scientists have applied magnetic field (used to trap atoms) and laser (used to cool atoms), but never applied electric fields, because they think that all kinds of atoms (including alkali atom) are nonpolar atoms. These atoms, usually only 104 ¿106 of them, can be trapped and cooled, large-scale BEC has never been observed. Our innovation lies in the application of an electric field, we don't need a magnetic field and a laser. When an electric field was applied, alkali atoms become dipoles, they tend to align with the electric field because of the torque it experiences. Alkali gas was filled in a glass cylindrical capacitor, we create BEC with 2.5×1017 atoms, large-scale BEC at T=343K or T=353K has been observed. This book is based on two articles published in authoritative professional journals.The seventeen innovative formulas listed in Appendix B were first published in the history of Physics.The publication of this book will lead to a revolution in BEC research and condensed matter physics, marking that we human will enter a new era of polar atoms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 132 pp. Englisch.

The first objective is to present general information from that area, the second objective is to show how the conflict inlfuenced the economy of both countries, the third objective shows the implication of other countries, the fourth one is about how the war changed opinions of the citizens and the last is the comparison with the Western BalkansBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book consists of 10 articles written between the year 2015 and 2017. Each article deals with one of the topics related to the Sephardic Jews who lived for centuries on the Iberian Peninsula. They were banished in 1492 from their homeland Spain, and five years later from Portugal. They brought along with them their language, culture, customs, traditional Sephardic Jew's diet, poems and the environmental factors of the area they were welcome to settle down in penetrated into their folklore and enhanced their old traditions in every aspect. Today, when a rich Sephardic Jews tradition is fading away into oblivion and the Judeo-Spanish language is disappearing, positive news is that the Spanish Royal Academy, the leading Institution in Spain for language, decided to correct the injustice done centuries ago. The Academy announced that already in the year 2018 they will establish the official Jewish Spanish Academy in Tel Aviv, Israel. So there is still hope!Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Countries, in order to make the free market policy serve the national economy and its people effectively, introduce laws that insure the efficient performance of the market.

Neuware -In India, the size of the elderly population is growing very fast, as falls is a major cause of debilitating conditions in the geriatric age; identifying individuals at risk of falling will help in preventing conditions of secondary falls. In this book the authors used timed up and go test along with a cognitive and motor constraint to identify which of the following was a better indicator of falls in this population. The study was done of healthy elderly population, who did not have any orthopaedic or neurological problems and could walk independently. Timed up and go test with a cognitive constraint was more specific and sensitive indicator of falls. This dual task assessment tool can be used while assessing patients as well as treating them in order to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Although poverty reduction is currently dictating international development policy, many people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continue to live in extreme poverty. What could possibly be wrong Are development approaches right, or the policies relevant This study looks at road infrastructure, which if seriously considered, could make an impact among the majority rural poor in SSA. This work finds overwhelming evidence supporting the importance of rural roads in poverty reduction.However, it also establishes that widespread corruption is proving to be very detrimental to road development in the region. A balance is then struck by showing some crucial environmental and social concerns in road construction in order to have an inclusive development.On the policy side, it establishes that Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) are inadequately prioritizing road infrastructure. Consequently, widening gaps between policy and implementation; lack of commitment by many governments in SSA; and disjointed sectoral strategies are critical development policy challenges affecting road infrastructure improvement. Finally, relevant and serious remedial actions are recommended for impact.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Solubility is the phenomenon of dissolution of solid in liquid phase to give a homogenous system. Solubility is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response to be shown. It is generally recognized that poor solubility is one of the most frequently encountered difficulties in the field of pharmaceutics. Low solubility and subsequent unsatisfactory dissolution rate are often compromise with the oral bioavailability of drugs. This article demonstrates the various techniques which are used to enhance the aqueous solubility which can thus be a valuable aid to increase the efficiency and reducing side effect for the drugs. Hence, various techniques are used for the improvement of the solubility of poor water soluble drugs which include Hydrotropy, pH adjustment, Cosolvency, Misceller solubilization, Supercritical fluid techniques, Solid dispersion, Complexation, Microemulsion, use of surfectants and Nanonization.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Environmental challenges include water and energy consumption. The rapid growth in population associated with industrial and agricultural expansion, especially in industrial countries, have resulted into a higher per capita water consumption and global warming making the need for viable and environmentally friendly solutions to become essential. However, producing good quality water combined with minimum energy usage has proven to be a challenging field for researchers. The increasing need for convenient water resources for the agricultural, industrial and public water users might lead to higher water prices, constricted economic development and social problems in regions with limited water access. As a result, the general welfare of a country like Qatar under water stress conditions is threatened. The motivation behind this work arises from the world¿s rising needs for water while preserving the environment for the well-being of future generations. This study focus on Qatar, displaying the efforts made to supply its population with high quality water at the least energy consumption, cost, and environmental impact.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book introduces the interesting concept of global weather control using nuclear reactors. The heat from nuclear reactors, when injected in a controlled fashion into the atmosphere, creates a low pressure region, which affects the wind pattern. On a desert adjoining a sea, it pulls in moist air to create rain. Over the ocean, near a hurricane or cyclone, it can modify its trajectory or intensity. Over north and south geographic poles, it can exert a global weather control by affecting the polar vortex. The book is readable by a layman and has a few simple college level equations towards the end.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The advantage of statistical models of input-output type is that they can be relatively easily constructed and applied, but on the other hand the disadvantage of such models is that that they don¿t reveal the inner nature of observed phenomenon. Conceptual models, which have advantage of transparent functioning, but are sometimes hard to be proven correct. Artificial intelligence offers methods of machine learning from examples, which eliminate the disadvantages of statistical as well as conceptual approaches and integrate the advantages. A comprehensive data driven modelling experiment based on regression trees is presented in this book. Regression trees have been employed on practical problem of constructing a data driven model for runoff prediction from known present and past runoff at water-level-gauges and rainfall at rain gauges within the catchment. Results based on approximation and prediction accuracy obtained from regression trees are then compared with other DDM techniques namely, artificial neural networks, Gaussian process, support vector regressions and multiple linear regressions. Book is a must read for the researchers working in the field of data-driven modelling.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Traditionally, the feathers of ducks and other water birds have been regarded as having attained excellent water repellency and this quality has often been ascribed to the properties of the oil from their uropygial gland. Although water birds produce relatively copious amounts of gland oil and spend much time preening, studies of the chemical and physico-chemical properties of gland oil have failed to show any unusual aspects that could explain this high water repellency. Early studies on gland oil were initiated by textile industries with the aim of developing new waterproofing agents for rain garments, leading to our present understanding of how porous structures including textiles and feathers repel water and resist water penetration. Modern studies seeking to understand the relationship between surface morphology, wettability, and droplet sliding in plants and insects as well as electron microscopy of biological structures such as butterfly wings have confirmed and expounded the original concepts that underlie the water repellency of rough and porous surfaces.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Quantum theory is formulated via the Feynman path integral, where only a past state is given at first. We could consider another formulation, where both past and future states are provided. In addition, an action is usually taken to be real, but there is a possibility that the action is complex at the fundamental level. Thus, quantum theory can be classified into four types, according to whether the future is included or not, and whether the action is real or not. In this book we present our fundamental formulation of the quantum complex action theory. We introduce various mathematical devices, which do not appear in usual textbooks of quantum mechanics, and argue that we cannot exclude the future-included complex action theory, though such a theory looks very exotic. Furthermore, we discuss how we can obtain Hermitian Hamiltonians and real observables. We concentrate on quantum theory having only one degree of freedom, i.e., quantum mechanics in just one dimensional space. Therefore, this book would be suitable for not only researchers and graduate students of physics and mathematics but also undergraduate students who learned quantum mechanics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The shooting forests deforestation for solid wood furniture industry is among of climate change contributing agents. Indirectly, this pressure is caused by furniture joints failure due to poor gluing technology based on improper use of different glues to different wood species leading to weak wood-glue joints. This book is developed from research findings of the Performance Tests of Wood Glues on Different Wood Species Used in Wood Workshops. Three popular wood species of C. lusitanica, T. glandis and E. maidenii were tested against five glues of Woodfix, Bullbond, Ponal, Fevicol and Coral found in the market. On contrary to Wood dealers¿ preference, results revealed that among five wood glues tested in the laboratory, Coral performed better with an average shear strength of 4.18 N/mm2,3.23 N/mm2 and 5.42 N/mm2 for Cypress, Teak and Eucalyptus respectively. The developed table of guideline from this research can be useful in wood workshops on proper glue selection to a particular wood species so as to meet glue-bond strength. This will secure furniture market and reduce pressure to forests for furniture production because of the strong existing furniture due to their strong joints.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This work was part of an investigation conducted during the European Master in Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology. Considering that the work-force has substantially changed, in the light of wider economic, political and sociocultural changes in the world, organizations have focused on workgroups as a way to provide better relationships, development, performance, and adaptation in such a complex environment. Focusing on two inevitable variables in the workplace, this study aims to analyse the relation between diversity (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, tenure, experience) and the two main types of conflict (affective and task-related). Therefore, two studies were conducted with Portuguese and Brazilian workgroups from different organizations, whose members perceived each other as a group, interacted and worked with interdependence to achieve common goals. Considering the increasing importance that workgroups and diversity studies have been given in the organizational context, the search for a better understanding about this relationship has also become very relevant in order to provide more benefits for groups and organizations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bildung (self-formation) is neglected in our era of modernity. Technique and the forces of production preoccupy the individual, robbing one of essential freedom to develop oneself and express one¿s uniqueness. Runhild Roeder recommends we assert our freedom, as artists do, to allow the ontological ground of truth to emerge in philosophy and every day life. She emphasizes that only in freedom can we demonstrate originality and consideration for each other. ¿Truth is an event.¿ (Gadamer) Between individuals, the social yarn can be rewoven in hermeneutic dialogue to counteract disenchantment that our humanity is suffering from due to a blind move towards technology. It is the irrepressible human spirit, at once universal and particular, that fulfils the task of Bildung in each context we find ourselves in.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Literary translator acts as a mediator while transferring a literary work which belongs to a certain culture, society and time to a different culture, society and time. Considering the translator's points of view, personality and creativity, it can be said that there is a positional relation among the source culture, target culture and the translator. The aim of this book is to determine the literary translator's position between the source and the target cultures. As a case study, Virginia Woolf's 'A Writer's Diary' and its two Turkish translations by Fatih Özgüven (1995) and Oya Dalg¿ç (2014) have been chosen. In the framework of the concepts 'translator's invisibility', 'feminist translation' and 'translator's voice', these two translations have been compared. In this book, the translator's role has been emphasized considering his/her role as a central element in creating the foreign author's image in the target culture. This book will provide the readers who read translated literature with a new perspective. Along with the scholars of translation studies and gender and women's studies, those who read translations will find this book interesting.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book, entitled ¿Making imperfect perfect; strengthening capacity of Makerere University Medical Students to Manage Sexual Gender Based Violence¿ is a publication on work done between Makerere University College of Health Sciences and Action Group for Health, Human rights and HIV/AIDS (AGHA). The project focused on increasing competencies of health workers to competently manage SGBV at health facilities. The aim of the project was to establish the perceptions and practices of the medical students of MakCHS towards Sexual and Gender Based Violence survivors. The methods used were a cross sectional study with sample of 60 Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery students from year 2, 4 and 5. Key results were: 50% of students knew the type of SGBV suffered by men, while that suffered by women was physical violence to obtain sex. Participants believed that SGBV is a cultural and family issue for which a husband should not be denied sex.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The main problem of women and elderly people of both sexes nowadays is osteoporosis. The widespread consequence of osteoporosis is cervical hip fracture that brings down quality of life and is difficult to treat especially if old people are affected. According to statistics 10-20% of people with cervical hip fracture die within half a year, 50% never regain full activity of the joint and they cannot walk without help, and 25% demand constant care. Bones of old people are more fragile especially in the places where there is more of spongy substance. With aging the ratio of soluble and non-soluble collagen significantly changes in favour of the last one. As a result old people get fractures more often. We should understand that bones in the adult age reach the peak of bone mass that starts to decrease with age. All these factors bring to decrease of thickness of bone and its destruction doesn¿t depend on their combination. Therefore, our objective was to study the changes in the alveolar bones of elderly people in secondary edentulous.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Myotonia congenita type Becker is an autosomal recessive nondystrophic skeletal muscle disorder, caused by mutations in the CLCN1 gene. With a frequency of 0.6 per 100,000, myotonia congenita type Becker falls into the group of rare disorders. In the terms of a small country like Bulgaria, this means only single cases, seriously complicating the recognition and characterization of such a disorder. The present study encompasses the first genetically confirmed cases of Myotonia congenita type Becker in Bulgaria. The applied molecular genetic approach led to identification of the disease causing mutations in 78% of the tested families. In addition, two presumable endemic regions were studied, leading to identification of a significant carrier frequency in both regions of interest. These findings are from crucial importance for the inhabitants of the corresponding parts of Bulgaria in the terms of well-timed screening and adequate genetic counseling during family planning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
