This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It was once believed that magnetic ordering and superconductivity are mutually exclusive due to Meissner effect. Recent discovery of iron pnictide superconductors served well to experimentally challenge that view. Even prior to this discovery, theoretical work suggested that such 'unconventional' superconducting materials should exist in which multi-component nature of the order parameter opens up possibility for exotic pairing states, and even magnetic ordering. The book in your hands recaps the theoretical findings of Dr. V. Barzykin and V. Kuznetsova, and offers experimental testing of the developed theory on the example of a non-centrosymmertic superconductor Re3W. 80 pp. Englisch.

The version by Zhang, published in the 1970s when translations remained a catalyst for the political struggle and socialist revolution that had long dominated the Chinese society, chose to normalize all linguistic deviations in Standard Chinese, ignoring the differences between Black English Vernacular (BEV) and Standard American English (SAE). In contrast, when the version by Xu was brought out two decades later in China with its door widely open to the outside world, the translator s focus was shifted to the reproduction of what Mark Twain's masterpiece is foremost famous for the unique style characterized by the massive use of BEV. This book is aimed at helping translators to understand that style in translation is not ready made, but rather shaped by their Skoposi for the production of the target text. 88 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What leaders think they are good at (self-efficacy) influences their decisions about allocating resources within their small organizations. Data analyzed from 577 U.S.-based small business leaders indicate that knowing a business owner s perceived area of self-efficacy improves the ability to predict that owner s allocation of resources. Results of this study can be applied to developing a decision-making model with significant practical application. This model might be leveraged for such key business decisions as hiring, budgeting, staffing, controlling general and administrative costs, and outsourcing decisions. The key is for leaders in small companies to learn to rely on others with proven expertise and hands-on experience in business areas outside of their particular sphere of self-perceived expertise. They would benefit from developing a balanced organization that includes a cross-section of business infrastructure knowledge within their management team. Small business entrepreneurs might also work in trust-based partnership with outside experts to ensure that dollars and staff are allocated in infrastructure areas most beneficial to organizational success. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Because of the void in literature that relates to leadership in our university's Journalism and Mass Communications departments, the author found there was a need for research that illuminates the challenges of managing academic departments specific to Journalism and Mass Communications, as well as those in other underrepresented areas. This study therefore addressed those issues and discussed the extent to which chairpersons of those academic departments believe they are prepared to lead effectively. The results of the study can be used to develop guidelines for comprehensive, mandatory training for those who aspire to chair departments, as well as those who are already leading departments, so that the next generation of department heads will not have to learn on the job through trial and error. Rather, the well-trained chairperson should be successfully prepared to pick up where the predecessor left off: buried in paper, drowning in meetings, and overwhelmed by deadlines; but with a clarity of purpose, knowledge of policies, affinity for troubleshooting, and ability to lead by example. 72 pp. Englisch.

It attempts to demonstrate this literature on political socialization as the foundation for evaluating the continuing research of the Penn Democracy Project in the field of democratic political socialization of undergraduate students. In light of the political socialization literature, this paper reveals the results of the most recent iteration of the Penn Democracy Project research study, which provide insight into the state of citizenship at the University of Pennsylvania. The overarching conclusion of this study supports the notion that while the University of Pennsylvania offers resources and opportunities for undergraduates to foster civic values, through specialized courses; centers; and funding for clubs, it fails to actively cultivate a shared culture of citizenship among its students. 76 pp. Englisch.

The discovery of high temperature superconductivity (HTS) in cuprates has had a defining influence on understanding of science and technology. This discovery has marked the decade, because it has triggered a revolutionary breaks with well-established conceptual of condensed matter physics. The understanding the mechanism of HTS is considered as the most important open problem in condensed matter physics.Many superconducting structures have been synthesized by various groups all over the world, both in oxides and from inter-metallic compounds with varying Tc, Hc and Jc values. But till date, there has been no satisfactory explanation for the occurrence of superconductivity in ceramic oxides, which have a rather complex structure. A variety of experiments can be performed to elucidate some more properties. Still, there is a tremendous scope to improve the materialistic properties of these materials through different types of processing techniques. From the technological point of view, there is opportunity for an entirely new breed of technological innovations. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Concerns about volatile crude oil prices, energy security, and environmental issues are driving the production and use of renewable energy in the United States. Woody biomass can be used as feedstock for solid or liquid fuels or electricity generation. This book, therefore, provides economic analysis models for woody biomass to biofuels to minimize the delivered cost and maximize the net present value. At first, an economic analysis model to estimate the delivered cost of woody biomass using different woody biomass handling systems was developed in the book. The model was designed to minimize the total annual delivered cost of woody biomass and applied to the central Appalachian region. Secondly, the economic feasibility of a woody biomass-based ethanol facility was analyzed using a mixed integer programming model. The model is designed to maximize the net present value (NPV) of a facility over its economic life. At last, a multi-equation model was developed to assess the economics of a coal/biomass-to-liquids (CBTL) fuel plant in West Virginia. This book will be of interest to forest landowners, sawmill managers, and students and researchers in woody biomass processing. 136 pp. Englisch.

Colleges and universities represent real and potential resources, assets, anchors, and engines to drive and direct the positive development of their surrounding communities. This book discusses HBCU community development partnerships in the context of Jackson State University as a case study. The analysis and power of the community voices along with lessons learned from the Jackson State experience provide deep insight into the importance of higher education engagement in the development of its surrounding neighborhoods. This book concludes with an introduction to the Sankofa Framework for HBCU community development. The Sankofa Framework reflects the Akan (West African-Ghanian) belief that the past must be considered first in order to move forward. Three principles describe the framework and guide its application: HBCU leadership, community focus, and asset based. Finally, the author's greatest hope is that HBCUs will continue to work in with private and public partners and community residents to build healthier and more vibrant communities. 128 pp. Englisch.

The bulk and complexity of EU legislation has made decision-making and institutional operations quite difficult, and many EU officials believed that a more concise and consolidated document encompassing all current EU treaties would offer clarity and transparency, while also creating more opportunities for improved policy coordination and public participation. Over a two-year period, officials drafted a lengthy Constitution of over 250 pages, detailing the structure, procedures, and competences of the EU, and these elites felt that their hard work would be well received and accepted by the European public. However, when the draft was sent out to member states for ratification, it was rejected by both France and the Netherlands, and the EU postponed the constitutional project indefinitely. After all of the time, money, energy and resources invested in the European Constitution, why did this project fail 136 pp. Englisch.

However, I seldom saw any other teachers in the middle or high school level doing it. When I moved into a supervisory position and would model lessons for teachers, I would often utilize read-aloud and they were always skeptical, often saying that it was an elementary technique or the kids won t go for it . More often than not, those teachers were shocked by how well the students responded not only with behavior, but with participation and their level of responses. But, I'm not alone: Some middle grades teachers might be concerned that read-alouds will make their students passive or dependent, but reading aloud to students actually whets their appetite for reading on their own (Rycik & Irvin, 2005, p. 105). 216 pp. Englisch.

To discuss the perception of the inhabitants of the cities of the River Juncture binational region (compounded by one American and one Mexican cities), this book compiled three case studies complemented with the results of a door-to-door survey conducted in those cities. The case studies discuss about: (a) An informal governmental agreement to stop an invasive plant plague with invasive beetles and pesticides; (b) An informal governmental agreement to solve or prevent fires by following the guidelines stated in an informal international agreement; and (c) A mere casual governmental support to a binational initiative to legally protect a relevant ecotourist park. This book should help to attorneys, environmentalists, policymakers, scholars and all people who are trying to figure out if their countries need more formal international treaties or if informal binational collaboration in the area of Environmental Law is enough. 204 pp. Englisch.

Since listening comprehension is a very complex process and listening skills do not develop automatically, it is of utmost importance to teach these skills. This can be accomplished by implementing a training program to train students in phonological awareness. Following a quantitative approach, five tests were given to a selected group of 10 kindergarten children over a period of seven months to test the relevance of the thesis statement. The results of these tests show that training in phonological awareness is not language specific and that L1 as well as L2 students benefit from such training. 88 pp. Englisch.

In humans, genes are compressed and bundled into a set of 23 pairs of chromosomes, which stabilize and protect the DNA. Gene therapy is an emerging field of biomedicine that has commanded considerable scientific and popular attention. Gene therapy is the insertion, alteration, or removal of genes within an individual's cells and biological tissues to treat disease. It is a technique for correcting defective genes that are responsible for disease development.Gene therapy is having a pervasive and significant impact on areas related to science-based dental practice. Biological research is presenting dentists with more potential treatment options for the future. Gene therapy is in its infancy, and current gene therapy is primarily experimental, with most human clinical trials only in the research stages. Over time and with proper oversight, human gene therapy might become an effective weapon in modern medicine's arsenal to help fight various diseases. 108 pp. Englisch.

Much emphasis of modeling is focused to formulation of mathematical models with probabilistic measures on the pathophysiology and genetic properties of cancer. The study is stressed more on stochastic modeling of cancer growth as modeling with deterministic environment is far from the reality. Bivariate stochastic model for normal and mutant cell growth was developed under the assumption of the growth and loss processes of mutant and normal cells are Poisson. Approach of difference differential equations is adopted to obtain the probability functions and several statistical measures. Another stochastic model for mutant and normal cell growth under chemotherapy is developed by taking similar assumptions. Two stage stochastic models for a cancer cell growth with the assumption of (i) every malignant tumor will have the premalignant and malignant clones and (ii) the growth of premalignant cell, mutation and loss of premalignant and malignant cells are random and follows Poisson processes, were developed. 100 pp. Englisch.

The reasons could be physically or chemically origins, resulting in a net decline of fertility, increase of salinity and sodicity, increase of contamination and pollution particularly with heavy metals. Also, the wise use of low quality of water irrigation becomes one of the most important topics in recent years. Although, waste water applied in irrigation systems has some advantages such as improving soil properties and crop production, it may, on the other hand, pollute the agricultural soils by increasing salinity and/or heavy metals. In order to achieve the aim of this study; two experiments were conducted, a field trial using wheat plants and a pot one using lettuce plants, and by applying some organic and inorganic amendments and the combinations among them using new techniques. 96 pp. Englisch.

These states correspond to a surface wave running around the nucleus as tidal waves run over the earth's oceans. Such a wave corresponds to a static deformation in the rotating frame of reference, which allows one to calculate its properties by means of the microscopic cranking model. There exists a large group of transitional nuclei that show a behavior between harmonic vibration and rotation, a description of which has been a long-standing challenge to nuclear theory. The new concept of nuclear tidal waves allows one to calculate the sequence of states with maximal angular momentum (yrast states). 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nowadays InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are the preferred technology of high-performance microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) due to their inherently excellent characteristics. With the smaller dimensions for improving functionality of InGaP/GaAs HBTs, which dissipate large amount of power and result in heat flux accumulated in the device junction, reliability issues are the first concern for the commercialization. To identify the origins of the electrothermal stress-induced device performance degradations observed experimentally, 2-D TCAD simulations were carried out. Using this approach, it is suggested that the acceptor-type trapping states located in the emitter bulk are responsible for the post-stress base current instability. The performances of InGaP/GaAs HBT-based MMICs are sensitive to the variation of core device characteristics. However, detection of this critical issue is difficult due to the circuit complexity. Thus, a practical methodology has been developed to predict the stress impacts on the HBT-based MMICs, which provides a potential way for the RF/microwave industry to save tens of millions of dollars annually in testing costs. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We consider two cases of competing phenomena in restricted systems in which the state is decided by an interplay of interfering physical mechanisms. We begin by investigating the interference between bulk and surface scattering in metal films. We calculate the effective transport time beyond the Matthiessen's approximation, which assumes independence of the bulk and surface scattering channels. The bulk-surface interference contribution to electrical resistance is shown to strongly affect the effective transport time and conductivity, and to depend on the surface roughness, temperature and impurity concentration. We also study the condensation process in a strongly interacting trapped BEC with and without an optical lattice. We describe how the repulsive interaction between the particles in a BEC within a trap pushes the normal particles to a spherical shell in the periphery reducing the condensation problem to a quasi-two dimensional one as the condensation progresses. 92 pp. Englisch.

The live cells in the body attach to the normal scaffold known as extracellular matrix but in in-vitro studies presence of a scaffold is essential to keep cells alive. Therefore, good cell adhesion on scaffolds is essential for successful tissue engineering. The aim of this book is to identify the key factors of coating which leads to better cell adhesion and to establish the relationship of cells adhesion and the treatment of substrates. Another aim is to apply four-point bending system to stimulate bone cells and finally evaluate bone cells response to the mechanical stimuli on different substrates by morphology alteration using histological and immunological staining methods. Human bone cell line (MG-63) and rat primary bone cells were used in this study. Two-dimensional substrates were used as a scaffold model. The selected substrates included PLLA, PLLA coated with PDLLA-b-PEO co-polymer, collagen coated, RGD grafted PLLA-PEO coated substrates. 108 pp. Englisch.

The so-called Asia pivot marks an increase in U.S. engagement with the Asia-Pacific region in strategic, economic, and diplomatic terms, and serves to bolster U.S. influence within the region. It marks a renewed emphasis by the United States on Asia-Pacific regionalism under the Obama administration. This book examines how the U.S. Asia pivot might impact the process of East Asian regionalism and what this will mean for its regional influence. The U.S. will likely increase its influence in the Asia-Pacific at the expense of East Asian regionalism. Great power competition and balancing actions by ASEAN both drive and constrain regionalism, while it affords the United States the opportunity to become more involved in East Asia. The strengthening of bilateral alliances, the creation of new bilateral partnerships, and the facilitated rise of key powers are likely to reduce the incentives for East Asian states to engage in deeper regional integration. The ultimate success of the Asia pivot hinges on whether or not the U.S. can remain focused on the Asia-Pacific region. 108 pp. Englisch.

When authenticity in leadership is demonstrated, this study found followers show positive interpersonal behaviors. Likewise, when leaders exhibit behaviors that are inauthentic, negative behavior is fostered. This study examined the elements of leadership credibility, namely; trustworthiness, expertise and dynamism. Finally, the study confirmed the influence of leadership authenticity and credibility in workplace productivity in an academic medical center. There is little research evidence that the attributes of leadership authenticity are antecedents to leadership credibility. This study shed some light on this relationship. 104 pp. Englisch.
