Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Over the last few years, emerging biotechnologies related to the manipulation of mammalian gametes such as nuclear transfer and production of transgenic animals has increased exponentially. However, such technologies requires excellent source of low cost embryos. In vitro production (IVP) of embryos provides considerable economic and scientific advantages because of the possibilities for mass production of embryos for gene transfer, cloning, production of transgenes and for researches on embryonic stem cells. This book, utilizes some established protocols to explore the optimal experimental condition for in vitro production of embryos. Especial emphasis was given for exploitation of the large number of preantral follicles in the mammalian ovaries, which could produce large numbers of oocytes. This book should be useful for postgraduate students of veterinary and animal production and especially for professionals and researchers in animal reproductive biotechnology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This paper examines translation strategies used in tourist articles in the in-flight magazines of three different Gulf-based airlines: ¿Reflections on Ramadan¿ from Etihad Inflight magazine, ¿Destination Dhofar¿ from Wings of Oman magazine and ¿London¿ from Oryx magazine. The study also analyzed the translation strategies in the headlines of the cover pages of these magazines. The study shows that the translation strategies related to culturally-bound terms fill the gap between the ST and TT cultures. The translation strategies found regularly in the data are TL biased, and as follows: 1. transliteration or cultural borrowing with or without explanation; 2. cultural substitution; 3. translation by addition; and 4. translation by omission.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Compulsory education in Egypt has faced many changes. During the 20th century, the main feature of Egypt¿s compulsory education system has been ¿change¿. Over the century the system has undergone successive changes, and the lack of any long period of stability has not helped students, parents and teachers. International organisations led by developed countries have recommended basic education to Egypt, but that contrast with educational trends in those countries. The purposes and principles of basic education which are legislated in the Ministry of Education documents are inconstant with the real situation in schools and that system has many shortcomings. This book¿s conclusions show that, since the 1980s, successive ministers of education have implemented successive changes, and this resulted in the current problems facing students, parents and teachers, such as low levels of student achievement, the economic burden to families of paying for private lessons, external books written and published in the private sector and reducing one year of compulsory education cycle. The most recent reform has introduced the pressing problem of how to reintroduce this ninth year.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is an endeavor to explore how context shapes the political identity of the Moroccan party of justice and Development through an investigation of the party members¿discourse. The driving force of the research was the investigation of the contextual implications for the Islamist phenomenon from a Social Movement perspective. The aim of the book is twofold then, it sought both to provide a multi-perspectival approach for revisiting as well as redefining such key concepts as context, identity and language often neglected in the study of Islamism, and also to approach these issues from the prism of the Moroccan context. This was possible through a close analysis of the discourse of the Moroccan Islamist party of Justice and Development on the issue of the new Mudawwana implementation. Exploration of the PJD¿s speeches was based on discourse analysis of the different ways in which the party framed the Mudawwana reform issue in three different time frames to provide empirical grounds for discussing ways in which language and context provide the possibility for grasping the Islamist experience beyond the boundaries of ideology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book represents a study of the attitude of Christopher Marlowe toward religion through critical analysis of three selected plays: The Jew of Malta, Doctor Faustus, and The Massacre at Paris. Marlowe exposes the hypocrisy of those who lay claim to righteousness and to be followers of the true teachings of religion while in fact they are obsessed with the idea of asserting power over others. Marlowe seems to be suggesting throughout his plays that a more secular humanist society that can accept all peoples¿ differences and that works for the benefit of all is more preferable than a religious institution who commits itself to violence in order to assert its power at all costs.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Various compression methods have been introduced to achieve high compression ratios and high image qualities in low computational time. Fractal Image Compression is one of the techniques that offers an advantage in reconstructing images of high quality with reasonable compression ratio and fast decoding process. But, on the other hand, the encoding part of this method is considered to be highly time-consuming process. The time consumption is a result of the matching block process used for eight orients. This study proposes a method with new approach of matching with one computed affine transformation to accelerate the encoding time, which increases the efficiency to approximately ten times the traditional method for the same image size and block number. The difference between the encoding time for the two methods is proportional to number of blocks, which leads to high performance. The rate of encoding time with block number is very small compared to the traditional method, which leads to increase in its competitively compared with all other methods. However, the proposed method still produces a comparable reconstructed image quality and compression ratio comparable with originalBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Modern American plays have generally delved into problems facing American society, such as sexual abuse, violence, and the decay of family connections. Some critics contend that these problems stem from a 20th century American style of life based on materialism and the quest for wealth as a way to attain happiness embodied in the American Dream. However, other scholars question whether these issues, particularly the decay of family relationships, mirror the demise of the American Dream. This book addresses the problematic issue of the disintegration of the American Dream and its direct influence on the decay of family relationships. The study examines how American playwrights incorporate Freudian psychology into their dramas; how characters psychologically experience the American Dream and its dissolution in the 20th century; and how such perception influences family life. This psychoanalytic analysis explicates the psychological problems of family members and the characters¿ emotional realities, which are intertwined with the characters¿ psychological views of the disintegration of the American Dream.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nothing has rocked the young field of supply chain management like the emergence of the Internet. While the management of information flows has always been a key aspect of Supply chain management, the rapid growth of web-based information transfer between companies, their suppliers, and their customers has decidedly increased the importance of information management in creating effective supply chains. A business cannot succeed without customers. What¿s a product without a customer to buy it, or a service without a customer to serve It¿s how companies use those products and services to get, keep and grow customers that counts. For this reason, the ability to more effectively market to, sell to and serve customers has made its way to the center of corporate strategy. But strategy is only half the success story. It takes Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology to put a strategy to work. Its technology that provides the underlying infrastructure that enables employees to get, keep and grow the customers so vital to success. The thesis describes how the advances in the information systems technology have had a huge impact on the evolution of supply chain management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Signature forgery still represents a great challenge to financial institutions, which makes accurate signature verification inevitable. On the other hand, computer technology and information processing areas witness remarkable qualitative improvements associated with significant costs reduction. This boosted the usage of machine vision techniques. In this research, an intensive work was carried out on offline signatures to establish a system for verifying them using their digital images. Signature morphological structure was utilized to explore characteristics associated with different signatures. Signature verification algorithms were developed using binary images of signatures employing two different verification approaches, one was based on statistical techniques, while the other was based on neural networks (NN) techniques. A signature database was built by collecting 840 signatures from 66 volunteers, and was used for training the statistical and NN classifiers and subsequently for testing purposes. Research results indicated that the statistical classifiers' outcomes were highly satisfactory whereas the NN classifiers' outcomes were not of the same quality.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this book, we use three types of expansion of topologies. The first, is simple expansion of topologies which is a method used in constructing finer topology from a given topology via a non open subset. The concept of simple expansion of topology was first introduced by Levine(1964). Although a similar concept had been discussed by Hewit (1943). The second type of expansions of topologies is the local discrete expansion of topologies using any subset, which was introduced by Young(1971). Finally, in the last twenty years, contributions for generalization of topologies have been appeared in many papers .The concept of a supratopologies was introduced by Mashhour et-al.(1983). Also, Abd EL-Monsef, et-al.(1987) have been introduced the concept of simple expansion of supratopologies and the concept of local discrete expansion of supratopologies. This work aims to solve some problems in rough set theory using changes of topologies. For example, some undefinable sets with respect to the original topologies can become definable in view of some of its expansion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The book entitled 'Cultural Problems of Translation: Lawrence's Women in Love as a Sample'covers one of the important topic of translation.Considering the cultural implications for a translated texts imply recognizing all of these problems and taking into account several possibilities before deciding on the solution which appears the most appropriate in each specific case. Before applying these methods to the chosen text, this book will examine the importance of culture in translation through a literature review. The different general procedures of treating the cultural implications for translation will be examined as well as analyzing the Source text (ST) and the aims of the author. The translation process will also be treated using specific examples found in the ST before discussing the success of the translation strategies applied to the target text (TT). These strategies help achieving an accurate translation of literary texts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Rational drug use has been defined as the use in which ¿patients receive medications appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses that meet their individual requirements, for an adequate period of time and at the lowest cost to them and their community.¿ It is a crucial part of any national health policy, particularly since more than 50% of national and 60-80% of individual healthcare spending in developing countries goes toward medicines. Studies from developing countries showed that as much as a third of drug prescriptions, accounting for 20 to 50% of drug costs, are irrational and that antimicrobials are among the most frequently prescribed medications.Such practices may lead to suboptimal clinical outcomes and higher cost to the scarce health expenditure. The results of this study revealed different aspects of irrational prescribing and dispensing practices at paediatric hospitals in Khartoum State, Sudan. On the top of them the substantial overuse of antibiotics, which was found to be the highest among all studies that investigated this indicator worldwide.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Karl Marx once said: 'They cannot represent themselves, they must be represented'. This statement is said to describe the Orient. The statement means that if the Orient could represent itself, it would, since it cannot, then the orientalists' representation does the job. In this statement, Karl Marx stresses the idea that the Orient was not orientalized as it seems to be oriental, but because it could be made oriental. Karl Marx's statement is used by Edward Said in his book Orientalism which was first published in 1978. In this book I deal with the oriental discourse in Snyder's poetry by examining the applicability of Said's critique of Orientalism on Snyder's representation. The main concern is to show how Gary Snyder as an orientalist represents the Orient ¿ mainly China and Japan ¿ in his poetry to occidental culture. In the book I analyzed Snyder's translation of Chinese and Japanese poetry, his representation of Chinese painting and Japanese drama, and his account for oriental religion or Zen Buddhism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Facial animation aids users in understanding spoken text in noisy conditions; that it can effectively make waiting times more acceptable and makes services more attractive to the users, particularly when they compare directly the same service with or without the facial animation. Realistic synthesis of lip motion is critical to differentiate ¿talking heads¿ from facial animations designed for other purposes (e.g., to display the dynamics of emotional expressions). Lip motion is also essential to understand spoken language in noisy environments, to communicate well with hearing-impaired people, and to improve the performance of current speech recognition systems, if viewed as integral part of the speech recognition, production and communication effort. While the auditory signal alone is often adequate for communication, visual information from movements of the lips, tongue and jaws enhance intelligibility of the acoustic stimulus.For individuals who hear well, these visible aspects of speech are especially important in noisy environments. The visual components of speech offer a lifeline to those with a substantial hearing loss.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 148 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Frankia are filamentous and gram-positive bacteria. Frankia isolates are tolerant to diverse group of metals and metalloids (Richards et al., 2002). However, little is known about the mechanisms involved. Three finished Frankia genomes (CcI3, NCBI RefSeq: NC_007777 (Zhang et al., 1984), ACN14a, NCBI RefSeq: NC_008278 (Normand and Lalonde, 1982) and EuI1c, (NCBI RefSeq: NC_014666 (Baker et al., 1980)) were initially tested against different kinds of heavy metals and aromatic compound pollutants. These strains were chosen because their genome sequences were available at the beginning of this study. These Frankia strains were tested against seven heavy metals (Zn¿ , Pb¿ , Cd¿ , As¿ , Cö , Se O3, and Cu¿ ) in addition to their ability to degrade two persistent aromatic pollutants (Biphenyl and Polychlorinated Biphenyl) and two organophosphorus insecticides (Parathion and EPN). My working hypothesis is that Frankia can resist many of heavy metals through sequestration or reduction these metals to less toxic or nontoxic metals To achieve this goal, different approaches were used.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Sociologists have agreed that ¿social life¿ refers to all aspects of human activity, including sexual relations. But digging in the history of social life throughout the Maml¿k era shows great omission of these relations in sources and references. Thus, this research aims at gathering information scattered in different sources around the subject of intimate relations, and introducing it in an academic form that records for these relations which prevailed in Maml¿k society, beside their perceived impact on the political, economic and social development in Egypt and Levant, and illustrating the aspects of sexual relations among sultans, princes, and the rest of social classes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Small velocities and large distances are considered the realm of classical physics. While the term modern physics refers to the post-Newtonian conception of physics, which simply deals with the underlying structure of the smallest particles in nature (quantum mechanics). Modern physics often involves extreme conditions; quantum effects usually involve distances comparable to the size of atoms (roughly 10¿9 m), while relativistic effects usually involve velocities comparable to the speed of light (3×108 m/s.For example, when analyzing the behavior of a gas at room temperature, most phenomena will involve the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. But near absolute zero, the modern Fermi-Dirac or Bose¿Einstein distributions have been used while the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution fails to account for the observed behavior of the gas. Since the days of Newton, the ideas of absolute velocity and absolute time are accepted as new phenomena and are not at all challenged. For instance, throughout the 19th century, it is correctly believed that the light is a wave; it must have a medium through which to propagate.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this study, we aim to demonstrate the fate of allogenic adult human olfactory bulb neural stem/progenitor cells (OBNSC/NPCs) transplanted into the rat hippocampus treated with ibotenic acid (IBO). We assessed their possible ability to survive, integrate, proliferate, and differentiate into different neuronal and glial elements: we also evaluate their possible therapeutic potential following their engraftment into the CNS milieu. OBNSC/NPCs were isolated from adult human olfactory bulb patients, genetically engineered to express GFP and human nerve growth factor (hNGF) by lentivirus-mediated infection, and stereotaxically transplanted into the hippocampus of IBO-treated animals. Stereological analysis of engrafted OBNSCs eight weeks post transplantation revealed a 1.89 fold increase with respect to the initial cell population, indicating a marked ability for survival and proliferation. This work demonstrated that human OBNSCs-NGF ameliorate the cognitive deficiencies associated with IBO-induced lesions in AD model rats, and the improvement can probably be attributed primarily to neuronal and glial cell replacement as well as the trophic influence exerted by the secreted NGF.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 228 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book argues that developments in Muslim-Christian initiatives since 9/11 have tended to proceed along two parallel paths. New initiatives have multiplied at academic and institutional level but, all too often these initiatives have not impacted at community and ¿street¿ level, for example, the recent rise in documented cases of Islamophobia throughout the UK. Clearly, there is a need for a more inclusive interfaith model that bridges the gap between interfaith initiatives at academic/institutional level and community level. This book surveys and analyses data relating to Muslim-Christian relations that includes government policy documents, Religious Education syllabi, mission statements in the areas of education, policing, chaplaincy across universities, prisons and the National Health Service. The book concludes that interfaith bodies have failed to establish a ¿voice¿ in contemporary social and political dialogue that has been an agent for change in terms of Muslim-Christian relations at community and grass roots level.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The integration of modeling, simulation and optimization provides powerful tools for supporting advanced decision making in the competitive market. However, when applying the tools to polymerization processing, the challenging task is to accommodate the predictability of the mathematical model and the capability of model-based optimization due to its inherent complexities. In the present study, three model approaches are proposed, i.e. a data based model, a kinetic model and a multiscale model, whereby the developed models are implemented into the syndiotactic polymerization of styrene. The data based model was developed based on the correlation model from experimentally obtained data, where the classical linear or nonlinear models can be applied to correlate the variation in any set of data using experimental design. The kinetic model includes the polymerization kinetics scheme, polymerization rate analysis and polymer molecular weight distribution. The multiscale model is an integrated framework which consists of the coupling between the single particle growth model at mesoscale and the mixing phenomenon model at macroscale with the kinetic model at microscale, where by both partBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 316 pp. Englisch.
