This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The mechanisms of cultural socialization in the traditional structure of the third world contribute to the marginalization of some social groups and to the creation of some fissures in the class structure of the society as a result of social mobility in the classes' movement up and down. Women have a great share of the marginalization because of their great share in illiteracy. Women's suffering from unemployment, poverty and social marginalization in a manner that exceeds man due to economic, political and cultural accumulations made the alternatives available for men to cope with poverty wider than women's alternatives and opportunities in the society. The severity of such suffering is augmented in the less developed and grown societies on the productive, cultural and legislative levels in the light of a value matrix and historical heritages. This matter leads to creating a social environment which facilitates women's perversion and criminal behavior as a result of poverty, social stresses and gender / class differences.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -African Literary elites have responded to the call by Africans to free the continent from all forms of colonial and slave mentality. While others have responded overtly, Soyinka does so covertly. As a result, over time, critical commentaries on his works have been on the mythical presentation of the Yoruba world as a microcosm of the entire African continent and the post colonial experience. While these commentaries cannot be totally erased, this research exposes the pitfalls, the blindspots, and the aporias that characterize most African writings. Consequently, this research discusses Soyinka's two plays; Death and the King's Horseman and The Road as Soyinka's unconscious hatred for the west. Clearly, African writers in an attempt to counter Western perception of Africa as being uncultured, unwittingly enter the same conceptual web. To foreground such instances, this research deploys the deconstructive method of reading. 108 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Poly (methylmethacrylate) has been established as principal material in denture base construction due to its good overall processing as well as user friendly properties. Nevertheless it is generally recognized that despite fulfilling aesthetic requirements, the impact and fracture strength of poly (methylmethacrylate) are not entirely satisfactory and this is reflected by the expenditure on a large number of denture repairs annually. The Objective of the study was to compare the fracture resistance of palatal denture bases made from two commercially available heat polymerized acrylic resin denture base material in different palatal vault configurations and in this study we finally Concluded that there is a direct relationship between the strength of the denture base and the palatal vault configuration. The shallow palatal vault base is inherently weaker and less resistant to fracture than medium and deep palatal vault. It's recommended to use a reinforced PMMA denture base or metallic denture base in shallow palatal vault. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Time critical task assignment problems are frequently found in operating systems and flight control applications. For instance, in a flight control real time application, one wrong task assignment decision could result in an airplane accident. To make things worse, these crucial decisions have to be taken in milliseconds. In order to address time critical task assignment problems, the Clustering Task Assignment Approach (CTA) is proposed. The idea is to cluster the groups into tasks with the best candidates(free agents) according to a heuristic. In other words, the place where agents needs to reach(task facility) is designed as a cluster centroid and the agents inside each cluster are the candidates to execute each task. Agents compete with each other by means of an objective function in order to define the assigned task. The algorithm is compared against the well known Contract Net Protocol(CNET) and outperform it in terms of speed reducing the number of calls to the score function in 400%, the solution quality is 28% better as well. This algorithm was designed to work with time critical applications in which agents have to move from one place to another. 60 pp. Englisch.…
