Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book describes first take on Theory of Everything based on Motley String theory, particular String Theory model by G.Y. Matveev based on existence of Color Force acting on spacial dimensions of Superstring. Motley String model and idea of String's 'colorful' spacial dimensions introduced in this book offers consistent and uniform approach to compactification problems present in all known String models (Superstring, Bosonic, Heterotic). It eliminates inconsistencies of compactification mechanisms proposed earlier (Kaluza-Klein, Calabi-Yau manifolds, etc). Also it solves several major problems present in the Standard Model: 1. explains number of particles (6 quarks and 6 leptons) in the Standard Model. 2. explains fractional charges of quarks and quark/gluon confinement. 3. establishes the link between High-dimensional String theories and observable 4-dimensional world. 4. offers alternative to Higgs mechanism for particles mass generation and thus explains neutrino's mass and experimentally observed neutrinos oscillations. 5. offers single mechanism for both quark mixing and neutrino oscillations. 6. offers solution for 'dark matter/energy' problem of astrophisics 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work intertwines two different fields of science where we can see how very much connected they actually are. The first one is social marketing and the second one is the field of partner relationship and family relations. To the best of our knowledge, this research issue is almost unaddressed in the literature. Social marketing impacts many social issues. This survey is therefore focused on using it for changing the behaviour of the partners from which it is required to modify deeply rooted beliefs and patterns of behaviour. Based on the results of the research a model of new social marketing interventions on issues of partnership relations have been created. The model shows how social marketing can help solving problems in partner relationships by the influence of awareness and information about the importance of a good and healty partnership, the abandonment of old habits and adoption of the new ways of behaviour in a relationship, the change of deep patterns of behaviour, feelings and ideas about relationship, the changes of values or deeply rooted beliefs and principles, the change of stereotypes about a relationship and about traditional gender roles in the partnership. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Despite the absence of a clear and binding set of targets taking into account every State's abilities, and although the Paris Agreement doesn't directly indicate the important role of renewable energy, the answer cannot be hide anymore. As explained in the book, the necessary and at the same time optimistic and promising method is the establishment of a legally binding framework for the obligatory increase of renewable energy share in every State. If we want a future that temperature remains below of a 2o C increase, and to achieve sustainable development it means that renewable energy sources must have a legal obligatory implementation system, which will be the base for a promising adjustment. Humanity has taken steps to realization of the Climate Change issue, and it's time to realize that the solution already exists and needs a necessary push at the present, in order to have a sustainable future. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As a contribution to economic and corporate history and development economics this work examines the most rapid and sustained industrialisation and economic development phenomenon in history. This dramatic and extended period of economic growth has inspired a determined and erudite search for its mode and method. It has consumed numerous researchers; political-economists, economists and economic historians alike. Various schools of thought emerged over time and each has taken turns, competing to explain this most significant economic event - spanning the period from the end of WWII until the mid-1990s. Each of these approaches is central to the question of whether an East Asian model of economic development exists. The analysis of the relative value of the major perspectives in this book fundamentally departs from the common trend in economics literature to generally adopt one approach or another. As an analysis of the dynamic combination of, and interplay between, business organisation, politics and economics its lessons are relevant to all developing economies today. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Water pollution is a serious threat for human health, ecosystem & in terms of depletion of clean water resources. Water pollution is considered as one of the most important problem facing the world nowadays. One of the sources that causes water pollution, even in small concentrations, are the pharmaceuticals, as about 30-90% of the given dose can remain non-degradable in the human or animal body, & is largely excreted as an active compound. Especially release of antibiotics to the environment causes enhanced resistant bacteria, which makes related treatment difficult; therefore the removal of the antibiotics from waste water is very important to protect the ecosystem in long term. It is known that antibiotics are the new contaminants of concern in the aquatic environment as they pass through the body largely un-metabolized & directly enter into the water-systems. The purpose here is to determine the overall transformation potential of some antibiotic drugs in wastewaters with specific emphasis on their analytical study. Due to wide application of antibiotics, it is impossible to entirely hamper their penetration into water bodies, so it is necessary to limit their content in water. 76 pp. Englisch.

Basically what is tried to explain are the means that had blacks enslaved to leave their condition of slave. Emphasis will be placed on the remedy of manumission, found in the manuscripts of the litigation carried out, in the background of negroes and slaves of the Archivo General de la Nación; It is important not to lose sight that the voice of these social actors and their access to freedom will be traced. Manumission as a mechanism to obtain freedom, compared to some cases that were generated in the province of Cartagena in the years 1800 - 1810. The mechanism of manumission is detailed in time as a legal process sometimes confronts the viability of slaves In front of their masters, in this we can verify the mechanism that opposes and imposes itself as a device in the slave system. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -While library efforts are geared toward the provision of free and low-cost services aimed at addressing the information of the public, the fact still remains that very few attempts have been made to serve the needs of the aging population. In the Philippines alone, a clear-cut library program intended for geriatric people is virtually non-existent. Hence, the overall intent of this Q-methodology inquiry was to ascertain the information needs of 15 geriatric Filipino citizens from various educational backgrounds, with a view to structuring a library program responsive to the distinct and ever-increasing information needs of this overlooked sector in society. Preliminarily, the 15 participants (P-set) were asked to arrange 42 statements (Q-set) derived from initial interviews. With the use of the PQ method version 2.11 software, five interesting profiles emerged via the by-person factor analysis. These include the (i) Classic and People-Oriented; (ii) Gregarious Geriatric, (iii) Cautious Architect; (iv) Soulful Reader; and (v) Trendy and People-Oriented. Their information needs vary from profile to profile and are geared toward library collection and physical facilities. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Whilst progress has been made to develop a number of alternative techniques to in vivo testing, further progress is required to reduce the dependency of toxicity testing on live animals. Unfortunately, at the moment, in vitro methods cannot currently predict complex toxicological endpoints; however alternative testing methods could potentially reduce the number of animals used. The information presented in this review clearly demonstrates the versatility of biopolymers. It is still too early to speculate about the in vivo applicability of biopolymer-based scaffolds, due to the many unknowns regarding the biocompatibility of these scaffolds in vivo, as the immunological response and long-term stability of implanted biomaterials is still being studied. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Concrete is normally classified as self-compacting if it satisfies the requirements of filling ability, passing ability and resistance to segregation. Filling ability is defined as the ability of SCC to flow into and fill completely all spaces within the formwork, under its own weight. Passing ability is defined as the ability of SCC to flow through narrow spaces such as spaces between steel reinforcing bars without segregation or blocking. Segregation resistance is defined as the ability of SCC to remain homogeneous in composition during transportation and placing. Many tests have been developed in the past to characterize the properties of SCC. None of the methods has achieved universal approval. Table 1 gives some of the tests reported in literature for testing the workability of SCC. A detailed experimental investigation has been carried out on SCC to find out its filling ability, passing ability and resistance to segregation using the Slump Flow Test, J-Ring Test and V-Funnel Test respectively. 88 pp. Englisch.

The people didn't aware about the stone formation in its beginning stage. So, early detection of the disease is very important before damaging the organs gradually. The most popular Ultrasound scanning tool is used in diagnosis of kidney abnormalities. The identification of stone in the US based images is very much difficult due to the decreasing in contrast and presence of speckle noise. To eliminate the noise inside the US kidney images and to get better quality of the image connected to pre-processing and segmentation is done by using RD-LSS (Reaction diffusion level set method) to detect precise stone location. The proposed system is implemented with Virtex-2 Pro (FPGA) by writing the code in Verilog HDL. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Trygve Kjelstrup, MD, has developed an axillary brachial plexus block technique that combines the insertion of a catheter with a double transarterial injection technique. In clinical practice this triple-deposit method showed promising block effect on the nerves of the brachial plexus that innervate the upper extremity. In the present thesis the triple-deposit axillary block method was evaluated by clinical tests and with MRI. Particularly, we investigated whether differences in block success could be explained by differences in local anaesthetic distribution as observed by MRI. This thesis demonstrated that the triple-deposit method has a higher block success and shorter onset time compared with the single- or double-deposit method. These findings could be explained by analysis of the MRI distribution patterns. MRI showed a wide variability as to where the musculocutaneous nerve leaves the axillary sheath. With the triple-deposit method the nerve can be successfully blocked. We conclude that an axillary plexus block performed with the triple-deposit technique is preferable as compared to the single- and double-deposit method. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The global economy is undergoing a major shift. For a nation to be competitive it must strengthen its research agenda, become innovative, strengthen and protect its intellectual property, and find resources for the continuing education of its citizens. IN a global market economy, a company's competitive success depends heavily on the information and know-ledge it possesses, whether it is in the skills of its employees or in the results of its research. Therefore, there is a natural rush to create knowledge, improve skills and convert them into assets, preferably in the form of patents. This is especially true in industry sectors such as biotechnology where initial investments are high, required knowledge and skill levels are at the cutting edge, and the costs of copying by experts are low. For example, Korea and Singapore have become acutely conscious of the fact that in order to stay economically viable, their industries must upgrade from being investmentdriven to being innovation-driven. This essentially means dealing with cuttingedge research and protecting intellectual property (IP). 72 pp. Englisch.
