This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Progesterone (P4) is a key for minimizing days of non-breeding season in goat, thus does can reproduce throughout the year for useful productive purposes if they are stimulated by P4 in the non-breeding season. P4 is an essential agent in the transition from non-breeding to breeding season, without P4, the behavioral centre of brain will not become sensitive to estrogen and the estrous behavior will be invisible 'silent ovulation'. This is a characteristic of first ovulation of breeding season. Once the animal goes into luteal phase post-first ovulation, the behavior center receives sufficient priming with P4 to make it sensitive to estrogen produced at the next ovulation which is mostly accompanied by the estrous behavior. After the non-breeding season, many females show silence ovulations or 5 -11 days short estrus cycles in goats due to prematurely regressing CL. Generally, to shorten the non-breeding season days or to increase the fertility during anestrous season by using P4 remains critical question, hence the main goal of this study is to investigate percentages of P4 in Damascus does in non-breeding and breeding seasons, this may minimize days of non-breeding season. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America.Borelli burgdorferi sensu lato complex, the pathogen that is responsible for the disease. The black-legged tick (or deer tick), Ixodes scapularis, carries the bacteria and spreads it when feeding on the blood of animals and humans in north-central United States, and Western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) does so in the western U.S. The disease name came from the town of Lyme, Connecticut, where a number of cases were first identified in 1975. At least 70 North American passerine species are known to be parasitized by immature black-legged ticks.Previous studies have shown that bird species can be infected with B. burgdorferi and dispersing or migrating birds have the ability to increase the ranges of both B. burgdorferi and I. scapularis. My work predicts that there would be a positive relationship between Lyme disease rates and bird numbers for species known to be infected with the pathogen, and there would be no relationship between Lyme disease rate and bird numbers for species not known to carry the pathogen. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -While advances in health technology over the last several decades have greatly improved life span and welfare in society, it is often perceived that the cost of these innovations has not been adequately offset by their benefit. Increased health care budgets in most countries have emphasized the need to demonstrate value for money from expenditure on health technologies. This book aims to establish measures that secure the provision of safe and effective quality medicines to Sudanese patients at reasonable prices.The strategies that are advocated throughout the book are based on the premise that the best value for money does not necessarily mean the lowest initial price option, but rather the best return on the money spent to meet the population's need for medicines and other medical technologies. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book features treatment of synthetic wastewater containing fluoride and nitrate ions by using surface modified laterite soil. Drinking water containing high amount of fluoride and nitrate can cause serious health hazards to the people across the globe like fluorosis, neurological disorders in severe cases, methemoglobinemia etc. Hence it is required to keep the concentrations of fluoride and nitrate well in the limits prescribed by WHO. The present study has been undertaken to prepare efficient fluoride and nitrate adsorbent from raw laterite by acid, followed by alkali treatment to modify the surface characteristics. Batch experiments were performed to study the adsorption of fluoride and nitrate ions on Treated Laterite (TL) adsorbent with fixed size. Characterization of TL was carried out using various techniques such as BET Surface Area Analysis, FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM and EDAX. Effects of process parameters like pH, Adsorbent dose, contact time and initial ion concentration on the removal of fluoride and nitrate from synthetic water have been investigated using TL as adsorbent to determine optimum process conditions for maximum removal. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Regular physical activity provides young people with substantial physical, mental and social health benefits. Schools and universities with adequate and safe facilities, dedicated time, and good examples from teachers, stimulate children and young people to be more physically active. School-age physical activity positively influences adult physical activity and the public health of the general population. Teachers and support staff with higher levels of physical activity in midlife have better mobility and health in old age and are more likely to encourage physical activity. This study estimated the level of physical activity among the teaching and the support staffs working at the educational institutions in Duhok city, Iraq, using a modified version of the short International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The study also examined the relationship between the level of physical activity, and type of job, age, gender, sitting or sedentary time, body mass index, and weather. Such estimation makes a background for continuous surveillance and improvement of the level of physical activity among the studied population and the general public. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Most browse species in Africa play a vital role for satisfying needs of local communities and households, including goods and services. Browse shrubs and trees are obviously important for animals, especially in the arid and semi-arid zones where they are very important for livestock, especially in the summer period when grassland growth is limited or dormant, due to unfavorable weather conditions. Despite this importance, research and development efforts are very limited with regard to trees and shrubs, and knowledge of browse in terms of production, utilization and other related information under semi-arid conditions is still lacking. This requires improving methods and techniques to be used to determine the available browse, and also requires more investigation to enable attaining conservation, protection or improvement. This study aims to investigate the existing situation and the potential of browse in semi-arid areas. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In many real-world classification problems the local structure is more important than the global structure and in the dimensionality reduction algorithms such as principle component analysis (PCA) it preserves the global structure of the dataset and ignores the local structure of the dataset, therefore this book introduce the Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) algorithm that is preserving the local structure of the datasets. LPP is a linear projective maps that arise by solving variational problem that optimally preserves the neighborhood structure of the data set. The aims of this book are to compare between PCA and LPP in terms of accuracy, develop appropriate representations of complex data by reducing the dimensions of the data and explain the importance of using LPP with logistic regression. The methodology of this book compared the proposed LPP approach with PCA method on five different data sets using dimensionality reduction toolbox (drtoolbox) in matlab software and evaluation the model using cross validation method and then calculated the performance measures(accuracy, sensitivity, Specificity , precision, f-score and roc curve) of both. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -DC photovoltaic pumping system is presented in this paper. Solar DC pump needs less solar panels to run than the AC pump. The system is divided into three parts; photovoltaic (PV) array, boost converter and permanent magnet (PM) dc motor-pump set. Solar cells have nonlinear I-V characteristics, efficiency of PV module is low and output power depends on solar isolation Level and ambient temperature. A great loss of power is due to mismatch of source and load. So to extract the maximum power delivered to the load from PV array, MPPT is implemented in the boost converter circuit. Each part of the system is modelled. The system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink .The proposed system is studied with and without maximum power point tracking conditions. The results show a very good performance and efficiency of the overall system when using MPPT compared with direct coupling. The system is studied under various climatic conditions. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Understanding the underlying architecture of biological networks has been one of the major goals in systems biology and bioinformatics as it can provide insights in disease dynamics and drug development. Such GRNs are characterized by their scale-free degree distributions and existence of network motifs, which are small subgraphs of specific types and appear more abundantly in GRNs than in other randomized networks. In fact, such motifs are considered to be the building blocks of complex networks and they help achieve the underlying robustness demonstrated by most biological networks. The goal of this thesis is to design biological network growing models. As the motif distribution in networks grown using preferential attachment based algorithms do not match that of the GRNs seen in model organisms like E.Coli and yeast,we hypothesize that such models at a single node level may not properly reproduce the observed degree and motif distributions of biological networks. Hence, we propose a new network growing algorithm wherein the idea is to grow the network one motif at a time.The accuracy of our algorithm was evaluated and show better performance than existing network growing models. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Foreign Currency Exchange market (Forex) is a highly volatile complex time series for which predicting the daily trend is a challenging problem. In this book, we investigate the prediction of the ' high ' exchange rate daily trend as classification problem (two classes), with uptrend and downtrend outcomes. Foreign Exchange (Forex) market trend was predicted using classification and machine learning techniques for the sake of gaining long-term profits. The trading strategy here is to take one action per day, where this action is either buy or sell based on the prediction we have. We view the prediction problem as a classification task, thus this work is not trying to predict the actual exchange rate value between two currencies, but rather, if that exchange rate is going to rise or fall. Forex daily exchange rate values can be seen as a time series data and all time series data forecasting and data mining techniques can be used to do the required classification task. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Incorporation of biofunctional compounds (polyunsaturated fatty acids) with feed is an effective way for gonadal maturation, which would enhance spawning of fish without any hazardous effects on health and thus it is possible to save the vulnerable fish species from the danger of extinction. In the present study Nandus nandus was used as a model to understand the involvement of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the process of improved reproductive performances and early oocyte maturation that resulted in spontaneous spawning, which was extended to improve rearing techniques to get better quality of fry and fingerlings of this fish species. Embryonic and larval developmental stages were also studied, which was for the first time for this endangered fish species. For the confirmation of polyunsaturated fatty acids induced reproductive performances sperm quality, histological structure of the liver, developmental stages of ovary, level of serum Ca2+ concentration, embryonic development and larval growth were investigated. The experiment suggests that supplementation of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids eventually improve the spawning performances of fish. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study of q-Weierstrass points on a compact Riemann surface is a fascinating topic, rich in geometrical applications and still a flourishing area of research. Around 1893, Hurwitz introduced the space of q-differential as the space of forms of order q on the space of holomorphic differential on a compact Riemann surface. He was led to the concept of what we now call Weierstrass points of order q, or higher order Weierstrass points. It is well known that, for a hyperelliptic curve the set of ordinary Weierstrass points are nothing but its set of the ramifi cation points. In this book, we classify the 3-Weierstrass points on the genus two curves with two parameters. We describe the classification in terms of some invariants maps in its moduli space. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Iraqi war represents a form of coercive diplomacy between words and war in the enforcement of international norms and is considered as a new and old notion at the same time. This holds true ever since the days of the Desert Storm: the war waged to liberate Kuwait. This mechanism was launched in 1990 under the title of the war to liberate Iraq or the punitive war, the core idea of which would correspond to the purposes and motivations of the 2003 war. This study begins with a review of the literature, both for background information and for the identification of variables of the events and factors in this issue. This war is analysed in relation to the US objectives in the region when it comes to maintaining its interests, ensuring security for its allies and dominating the whole region. This study investigates the controversy surrounding the case of 2003 war on Iraq, which is embodied in the plural reasons for the war. The situation in Iraq is of course still a subject for debate, as the country has experienced a stalemate for some years now. 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Social networking became popular and they attract many other businesses as the social networks generate wealth of data that is useful for various organizations and researchers. The information being exchanged in social media include many forms of data known as multimedia. The conventional approaches do not work for mining such data as the data is of many types and from diverse sources. In order to handle such data and discover emerging topics, the recent approach was to use user links base on the tweets, mentions and replies. The probability model is used for anomaly detection in order to find the emergence of new topics. This knowledge will give provision for many associated businesses to make well informed decisions. For instance an advertisement agency can make use of this knowledge and post advertisements accordingly. When messages of being flown anomaly are detected and the anomaly score is computed and then aggregated to detect emerging topics accurately. This is practically implemented in this project. A prototype application is built to demonstrate the proof of concept. The empirical results show that the proposed approach is efficient and capable of finding emerging topics 128 pp. Englisch.
