Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Trabajo Universitario del año 2015 en eltema Ingeniería eléctrica, , Idioma: Español, Resumen: La tolerancia y las variaciones de los valores nominales de los componentes de un circuito afectan sus respuestas y comprometen su estabilidad. Históricamente el estudio de estas variaciones se ha realizado mediante análisis de sensibilidad basado en algunos métodos como el de Monte Carlo. Con el advenimiento de los algoritmos simbólicos puede simplificarse y sistematizarse el análisis de la sensibilidad, lo cual se expone en este trabajo para el caso de filtros activos. Se da a conocer la forma de obtener, por métodos simbólicos, la función de red de una sección de segundo orden de un filtro activo, y cómo determinar los parámetros de esta en función de los componentes del circuito. Finalmente se expone la manera de calcular la sensibilidad de los parámetros de la función de red tanto por el tradicional método de Monte Carlo como mediante la novedosa alternativa simbólica.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 56 pp. Spanisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper del año 2015 en eltema Ingeniería - Técnica de la seguridad, , Materia: Otoño 2015, Idioma: Español, Resumen: Los sismos son movimientos del suelo producidos por el choque de las placas tectónicas. En México, por ejemplo, se producen sismos frecuentemente debido al constante movimiento de cuatro placas: Cocos, Norteamericana, Rivera y del Pacífico. Los sismos, dependiendo de su magnitud, pueden causar distintos tipos de daños a las construcciones, los cuales pueden desencadenar pérdidas humanas y económicas. Es por ello que desde hace algún tiempo se han estado implementando construcciones que presenten una mayor resistencia ante estos fenómenos naturales, las cuales se denominan construcciones antisísmicas. Las construcciones antisísmicas deben ser seguras, elásticas y simétricas, y pueden ser edificadas a base de distintos materiales como hormigón, madera, acero, piedra y tierra, por lo que no son económicamente muy costosas. Para que una construcción pueda tener un comportamiento adecuado durante un sismo, el planeamiento y diseño de esta debe estar a cargo del arquitecto(s) e ingeniero(s) encargados de la obra y deben tomar en cuenta distintos aspectos. Las construcciones antisísmicas se han implementado en países que han sido afectados por sismos de gran magnitud, y han arrojado muy buenos resultados. Se espera que estas construcciones aumenten en el futuro, pues fuertes terremotos se producirán en próximos años.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Spanisch.

Neuware -Redacción Científica del año 2015 en eltema Psicología - Psicología social, , Materia: Doctorado en Ciencias Gerenciales, Idioma: Español, Resumen: En este análisis argumentaré sobre una visión desde la psicología cultural, como proceso constructivo, producto de la interacción entre el sujeto, su medio físico y cultural, para lo cual he asumido presentar ejemplos reales y argumentos de diferentes teóricos. Mi interés está relacionado con mi campo de investigación: el ecológico. Específicamente, en una posible aplicación investigativa, a través de un estudio etnográfico, impregnado de circunstancias fenomenológicas, desde el paradigma de la complejidad. El modelo ecológico y la Psicología Cultural, surgen como respuesta a una crisis teórica en los años 70. Cuarenta y cinco años después, su estudio y consideración siguen siendo relevantes. En estos momentos la crisis ecológica es una realidad planetaria. Finalmente, concluyo la disertación, en relación a aspectos notables de ambos modelos. Abstract This analysis exposes a view from cultural psychology, as a constructive process, product of the interaction between the subject, its physical and cultural environment, for which I have assumed to present real examples and arguments from different theorists. My interest is related to my field of research: the ecological one. Specifically, in a possible investigative application, through an ethnographic study, impregnated with phenomenological circumstances, from the paradigm of complexity. The ecological model and Cultural Psychology, arise in response to a theoretical crisis in the 70s. Forty-five years later, its study and consideration are still relevant. In these moments the ecological crisis is a planetary reality. Finally, I conclude the dissertation, in relation to notable aspects of both models.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 9, University of Groningen (Business Economics), course: Bsc International Business, language: English, abstract: In this thesis a comparison is made between the H&M Group and Inditex to measure the differences in overall performance of outsourcing and in-house production in the apparel industry. Outsourcing is often discussed in the literature as the perfect solution to cost reductions however the literature lacks results on the actual performance; this article measures the performance obtained through outsourcing and in-house production. H&M is studied because it has a fully outsourced production, where Inditex mostly produces its products in-house. Performance is measured by the follow variables: costs, agility, asset utilization and product quality. Costs and asset utilization were measured using an independent samples t-test; comparing costs of goods sold salary expenses and overall expenses as a percentage of the revenue, asset utilization is measured by comparing the return on assets ratio. Agility is studied by an in-depth analysis and product quality based on a survey on consumer perception. The results show that H&M has significantly reduced its costs by outsourcing, while Inditex with higher costs is able to keep a very short lead-time. H&M has been successful in increasing return on assets and product quality is perceived equal for both companies. This article contributes to the field of research by showing that outsourcing does lead to cost reduction, however in-house production leads to better performance in agility. 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Physics - Nuclear Physics, , language: English, abstract: The present paper contains the interactions of beta particles in many ways. In the first part, where the beta particles are attenuated by an absorber, I have calculated the mass attention coefficient for different materials. In the next part the beta particles producing the bremsstrahlung have been studied.It is well known that any charged particle or a neutral particles when entered into target material, loses its energy either by ionizing exciting the atom or the particle may be completely absorbed by the material's atoms.In the present study, we have used the beta source Tl-204. These beta particles when incident on the different materials (metals or compounds) interact with the atoms of the target materials by the three processes as stated above. The beta particles are incident on the target material and depending on the decrease in the counts of the particles detected for increasing thickness of the target, the mass attenuation coefficient for the absorbing of beta particles for different materials have been found. The mass attenuation for different metals as well as for different compounds and compounds salts have been studied. By knowing the mass attenuation coefficient the linear attenuation coefficient of the corresponding metal or compound has been found. Also the dependence of mass attenuation coefficient of metals and compounds on the density of the respective metals and compounds have been successfully studied.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 3, Akdeniz University (Vocational School of Technical Sciences), language: English, abstract: Two papers are critically reviewed in this study: ¿Bench-Scale Investigation of Inclined Dense Jets¿ by Cipolla and others (2005) and ¿Vertical Penetration of Double-Diffusive Water Plumes Discharged Vertically Downward¿ by Pantokratoras (2003).The main goal is to provide new experimental information on the behavior of dense jets issuing from nozzles variously inclined on the horizontal plane. Also, to develop suitable Froude number equation for double diffusive plumes, in which discharge temperature is greater than that of the ambient water whereas the discharge salinity is smaller than that of the ambient sea water.Another objective is to prove the Turner`s Equation (Pantokratoras 2003) is unsuitable for double diffusive plumes and to develop this equation.Most of the investigations on dense jet diffusion dealt with jets issuing vertically in the environment, despite the fact that it has been long known that inclined dense jets result in higher values of dilution.The water temperature in the tank (1.5 m long, 0.45 m wide, filled with water up to 0.60 m above the bottom) was in the range 18¿20° C, ¿ ~10-6 m2/s. The solution employed to feed the jets was colored and prepared by dissolving NaCl in tap water in a suitable lab-scale rectangular batch storage tank. Three different jet densities were tested: 1,055, 1,098, and 1,179 kg/m3. Brass nozzles have four different diameters (d0) (1.12, 2, 3, and 4 mm). The initial discharge Reynolds numbers ranged from 2,500 to 10,400, depending on nozzle size and jet features, and therefore flow at the nozzle outlet was always turbulent.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Jura - Zivilrecht / Handelsrecht, Gesellschaftsrecht, Kartellrecht, Wirtschaftsrecht, Note: 1,7, EBC Hochschule Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die GmbH ist eine 'juristische Person' und hat ihre eigene Rechtspersönlichkeit. Die Haftungsbeschränkung einer GmbH ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser und ein Privileg. Gemäß13, Abs. 2, GmbHG haftet die GmbH mit ihrem Gesamtvermögen und nicht der Gesellschafter mit seinem Privatvermögen.Bei einer OHG vergleichend gilt gemäß128 HGB, dass der Gesellschafter persönlich mit seinem Vermögen haftet.Der Gesellschafter einer GmbH erkauft sich das Haftungsprivileg der Rechtsform dadurch, dass er die GmbH mit dem Stammkapital, wie im Gesellschaftsvertrag festgelegt, ausstattet.Diese eben genannte Haftungsbeschränkung bringt Probleme mit sich. Aufgrund dessen kommt die Durchgriffshaftung ins Spiel. Sie gilt als Rechtsinstrument, um die Trennung zwischen Gesellschafter und GmbH aufzuheben und greift durch die 'juristische Person' auf den im Hintergrund agierenden Gesellschafter zu.Die Durchgriffshaftung ist nicht gesetzlich geregelt, das heißt es ist der Rechtsprechung überlassen angemessen zu reagieren. Die Entscheidung über einen Durchgriff ist im wesentlichen Richterrecht. Die Rechtsprechung verwendet fallweise unterschiedliche Begründungselemente für ihre Entscheidung. Insgesamt gibt es strenge Anforderungen, nach denen der Bundesgerichtshof entscheidet, da die Haftungsbeschränkung einer GmbH nicht leichtfertig aufgehoben werden darf. 16 pp. Deutsch.

The building, inaugurated in 2003, is situated on a hill of the outskirts of the Scottish city Dundee.The postmodern architect Gehry tried to let form support and complement the function in order to make this unit for cancer patients as liveable and comfortable as possible. As a result, the inclusion of aesthetics as well as social meaning make the building a great object for a cultural reading.First of all, I will supply a brief overview of important architectural features of the ¿Maggie's Centre¿. Subsequently, these features will be used to attempt a cultural reading of the building. 12 pp. Englisch.

Currently in the mainstream hip-hop genre this focal point is prevalent and continuously perpetuated in the everyday lyrics of its artists.As author Ronald L. Jackson II explores in Scripting the Black Masculine Body: Identity, Discourse, and Racial Politics in Popular Media the embracing of what he calls 'the hypertext of sexuality(Jackson p.104)' drives the music and media streams of black culture. Although glamorized, the idea of all black men being well-endowed has many negative undertones such as being lustful predators and intellectually inferior.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 12 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, London School of Economics, language: English, abstract: Information and communications technology (ICT) is understood to be closely associated with the shaping of late modernity. It constitutes one of its fundamental and distinctive features and is a product of its socioeconomic institutions. Yet, it is increasingly taken up by traditional communities. The core question of this paper is whether the encounter of ICT with cultures that have not embraced the values and ways of life of modernity gives rise to alternative perceptions and enactments of socio-technical ensembles. Do traditional communities disentangle the ICT artefact from the institutional context of modernity and appropriate it in their own culture and social order Is there a potential fusion of ICT with non-modern cultures that leads to transformative effects of either the endogenous culture or the taken-for-granted ¿modern¿ meaning of ICT value Or is the take up of ICT, loaded with the meanings and values it inhe rited in its context of modernity, just eroding traditional culture and bringing them closer to modernity We address this question by exploring the meanings and consequences of ICT in the community of monasteries on Mount Athos that was established in Byzantine times and remained largely isolated from most institutions of modernity. This is an early stage in what we intend to make longitudinal research, and our finding are inconclusive. We found a mix of attitudes and ICT- related practices among the monks and different attitudes towards the information processing/storage and the communication functions of ICT. But overall, adoption of ICT is increasing on Mount Athos and we identify areas in which potential changes are under way and which merit further research. However even at our current stage of research it is apparent that these changes are intrinsically different in our modern consumerist society and are largely shaped and constrained by Christian religion.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, , course: Bachelor of Commerce, language: English, abstract: The Muted Group Theory was initially proposed by social anthropologists, Ardener and Ardener, in their book 'Belief and The Problem of Women'. The proposers of this hypothesis say that muted groups are those gatherings in the society that have practically no power and that they experience difficulty when communicating or giving out their voice on issues in the society on the grounds that they have less power in participating in the making of the language they use. The power rests upon the majority. Thus, for them to pass their recognitions to the society they should re-encode their thoughts and activities to make them comprehended in the general population circle.In understanding this theory, it just implies that sure minority groups or rather aggregates that are seen to be minority in the society think that it is difficult to communicate in a language that the majority has produced for the overall population. This is on the grounds that the language supports the creators over a second or outsider that uses that language. The idea of minority or majority can be based on sex, age, skin shading, and religion, spot of source or class.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 12 pp. Englisch.

It is shown, that in a remarkably short period, China increased its urban population to more than 50 percent of the entire population. This rapid urbanization was mainly driven by rural-urban migration in the course of the industrialization process and by the in situ urbanization, as a mainly government related factor. The paper afterwards identifies energy and resources, pollution and land consumption as the major areas where by urbanization caused challenges need to be tackled.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Polling is a vital instrument for analyzing name recognition of political auteurs, for preparing campaign strategies, for screening public opinion, for generating job approval ratings or simply forecast elections respectively waging potential election prospects for political combatants, who considering running for a higher public office.Moreover polling results playing not only a decisive role in U.S. primaries, indeed they actually are finally the decision makers, which political candidate may enter a television debate (so in the GOP primary of 2012 ) to campaign for his or her political cause. Even in the aftermath of political election polling is used not only to judge the pollster, but to judge the political combats, who successful they played the political expectation game.Indeed polls to forecast election differ in Germany and the United States. In that context can be mentioned aspects such as likely voters, Minority Turnout and other aspects that are not common vocabulary of German political pundits. Meanwhile in Germany public polls often can forecast elections prospects quite clear. A big contrast can be stated in the United States regarding the 2014 midterm election. Several polls show democrats leading the ¿generic ballot¿ for Congress, without indicating a sure democratic takeover of the house.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: B, University of Canberra, language: English, abstract: The controversy surrounding the definition of terrorism has led to minimalistic approaches to the issue thus reducing a clear cut understanding of what terrorism entails. The fact that the practice is fuelled by emotional and political motivation makes it even more difficult for scholars to come to a common ground on what really constitutes terrorism if at all a definition cannot surmise. However, the studies in terrorism activities have given better insight than all politically self serving semantic propaganda that everyone uses to justify or condemn terrorism.A close analysis of a terrorist group in an existing socio political and economic context is the only valid method to help us understand what terrorism is and all the other germane issues that surround the controversial subject. For this purpose, I have selected the most well known terrorist group in the world al-Qaeda as a case study to try and understand the fundamental issues that make it the most feared group and what qualifies it as a terrorist group in the first place.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Far East, grade: D (Distinction), Murdoch University, course: Development Studies, language: English, abstract: This essay analyses the key stakeholders representing Chinese aid and subsequently discusses the opportunities and challenges of Chinese aid to the Islanders. It argues that Chinese aid is commercially driven. Although it has been provided for strategic interests, it has further offered new opportunities and challenges for the Pacific countries.The essay first examines the Chinese rise and the characteristics of its international aid programmes. Next it focuses on the role of development aid in the Pacific and determines whether aid has been utilised for political gains.Over the last two decades, China has emerged as a leading provider of development aid assistance in developing countries in Africa, Latin America and in recent times, in the Pacific Islands. Chinäs quest to maintain its increasing population and continue to expand its economic growth at world stage level has exacerbated Chinäs engagement with resource developing countries. This increasing intensification of China's development aid programme in developing countries has been prominent towards the late 1990s, mostly driven by the China ¿go out¿ strategy. The ¿go out¿ strategy is Chinäs aid model that combines both private and State-Owned Enterprises (SEOs) to venture into resource-based countries to create market-led investment through support from the Chinese government.The overarching focus of Chinäs development aid is to assist other developing countries achieve their self-development objectives. The Chinese policy is framed within the context of accessibility to natural resources, such as oil, mining and gas in exchange for promoting growth in developing countries. This approach to aid seems to be changing the way development aid had been delivered. But critics of rising Chinese aid and diplomacy particularly in the Pacific Island countries are suspicious and doubtful of what Chinese motivation in Oceania could be. Some scholars, for instance Henderson and Reilly (2003), unequivocally claim that Chinese intensification in Pacific countries will destabilise the relationship between the United States and the Island countries, alluding to the Cold War between China and the US. Similarly, Windybank (2005) asserts that Chinese aid is given as a recipe to undermine Taiwan¿s interest. However, others have argued that Chinese aid in the Pacific is commercially led and geared towards increasing aid visibility and providing alternatives for the Islanders, and not geopolitical in nature.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

If developers get suggestions from the existing projects they might be benefited a lot what they eventually expect while coding. The strategies available in this field have been rapidly changing day by day. There are a number of efforts that have been focusing on mining process and constructing repository. Some of them have emphasized on the web based code searching while others have integrated web based code searching in their customized tool. But web based approaches have inefficiency especially in building repository on which they apply mining technologies. To search the code snippets in response to the user query we need an enriched repository with a better representation and abstraction. To ensure that repository before mining process we have developed a concept based on Enhancing Software Development Process (ESDP). In ESDP approach multiple sources of codes from both online and offline storages are considered to construct the central repository with XML representation and applied mining techniques in the client side. The respective evaluation shows that ESDP approach works much better in response time and performance than many other existing approaches available today.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 12 pp. Englisch.
