Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Shashi Deshpande is one of the most prominent Indian women writers writing in English. Deshpande's novels deserve the most critical observation; Deshpande, as one feels, is a psychologist by instinct. When Deshpande dives deep into the world of woman's psyche, it seems that she leaves no part of it untouched. The nether-world observations of human psyche, especially the woman psyche, do not seem to defy the psychological probability. The reader, amazed, travels into the hitherto uncharted regions of the human mind and is left more unminded with the rich fund of knowledge about human nature. Sometimes, the reader is tempted to believe that most of these experiences of her characters are but his/her own. They are so natural, so realistic that they strike sympathetic chords in the heart of the reader, reminiscent of his/her too intimate experiences. 84 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is only a matter of time before people seek innovative techniques for further development. Nowadays development has become a part of the people¿s essential needs. Construction Industry is a booming industry and remains so with the continuation of the development process especially in the developing countries. Construction activities produce vibrations and noise that may extend thousands of feet away from the particular activity. People have become increasing intolerant of these effects. They complain to government agencies and oppose development projects. Their opposition is beginning to seriously affect the construction activities such as pile driving. Contractors are choosing alternatives to such construction activities to avoid the vibrations and noise. This is an unfortunate and uninformed reaction for three reasons: (1) the alternatives may be considerably more expensive, (2) the alternatives may produce comparable levels of noise and vibrations, and (3) the perceptions of people about the possible damage from vibrations and noise are generally wrong. This book provides a fair knowledge about noise and vibration while giving a justification for said third reason. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As one of the most widely used dimensionality reduction techniques, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) constructs a set of new variables, each being a combination of the input variables that are not correlated and ordered in magnitude of variance. The dimensionality reduction can be done by ignoring non material components such that the total variance of estimated variables is close to the original total variance at a given threshold. Despite its popularity, PCA might become less effective for dimensionality reduction when the total variance of the variable is not the only factor in the consideration. In portfolio risk management for an instance, the correlations among the returns of the portfolio constituents measure the diversification effect and are important factors to the profit and loss. Structured factor model (SFM) turns out to be able to properly reduce the dimensionality by capturing both total variance and correlations when idiosyncratic components are negligible. This book provides an effective way to fit a SFM and apply it to risk management for the trading portfolio of a large financial institution. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Africa and particularly Nigeria, research has shown that there is a general manifestation of gender inequality in the contemporary times that is skewed in favour of men and against women in governance and leadership in general. Given that women are marginal in governance and politics women empowerment campaigners and women liberation feminists decry the social position of women. Studies on gender relations and governance in Nigeria largely focused on the marginalisation of women by men with negligible attention on the role of women in this gender-based political imbalance. Men are not totally to be blamed for this lopsidedness of various forms of power in their favour. According to Edmond Burk, power is sweet and those who have it find it difficult to cede it except there is a superior force to coerce them to do so. With the rendition of women empowerment through the external factors the feminist miss critical points of women political and leadership empowerment. 72 pp. Englisch.…
