Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Jewish American literature holds an essential place in the literary history of the United States. It is supposed to be the first ethnic literature that achieved great influence in the U.S. and reached its mature expression in the post-war 'Jewish American novels' of Henry Roth, Saul Bellow, J.D. Salinger, Norman Mailer, Bernard Malamud, Chaim Potok, and Philip Roth. This book concentrates on the work of the triad of authors - Bellow, Potok and Malamud. It explores the cultural pulls between secular society and Jewish tradition which were acutely felt by the immigrants who passed through Ellis Island and by their children and grandchildren. Their work is also analyzed in the context of Earl H. Rovit's theory of 'applicable past' which stresses the advantage of the cultural distinctiveness of immigrant authors whose background might serve as a goldmine for fictional themes. The analysis should reveal the ways in which these authors are concerned with Jewishness and the intentions the authors have for its interpretation. This book is meant for anyone who is interested in the ethnic cultural diversity and its influence on the creative writing such as fiction. 52 pp. Englisch.

The consequences are that it risks collapse its own economy, and most likely, under such a scenario, cause spillover effects to its stakeholders at large.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Preservation of the built heritage is always motivated by its cultural value. However, the possibilities to preserve and use or re-use the heritage object are determined not only by the cultural, but also by the social and economic factors. The economic non-market valuation of built heritage and other cultural goods is rather new and relevant area of analysis. This study deals with the theoretical context and the methodological premises for non-market valuation of the built heritage. The first chapter analyses economic aspects of the built heritage determining the need of its market and non- market economic valuation. The second chapter analyses the need and the possibilities to determine the economic values of the built heritage in the context of the decision-making. The contingent valuation methodology for the assessment of the built heritage is presented in the third chapter. This analysis should be helpful for heritage preservation professionals and for further developing the tools for the economic assessment of the built heritage.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The microstrip antenna (MSA) is one of the most widely used microwave antennas possessing several advantages. However, it presents a low impedance bandwidth, low gain, and tolerance problems. Probably the most direct way of improving the impedance bandwidth of a microstrip antenna is to attach a separate lossless matching network. The aim of the this study is to develop a new wide band matching systems for improving the electrical characteristics such as, low efficiency, low antenna gain and narrow band. In the research stage of this thesis, different microstrip antenna geometries, matching networks and theoretical models for analysis and design of microstrip antennas were investigated. Three different types of the matching circuits which are realized as the negative capacitance, the negative inductance and the Pi- matching circuit with RC mutator, have been proposed.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Today, it is being said that our education system is not relevant to our needs and that its standards are falling. Parents complain of the deteriorating discipline of students. In the final analysis, a limitation suggests that there is need to overhaul educational programmes to suit our needs. All these point to the idea that we must look back at what was happening in our country during colonial time and compare this with what is happening today. We can then focus ahead in the future. By doing this, we think of corrective and remedial measures. If the policies were desirable, efforts can be made to maintain and even improve them. This has for many years been done by soldiers in wars, farmers with their crops and soils, and mechanics with their repaired vehicles. In essence, all these are indicators of measurement and evaluation. Measurement and Evaluation are important processes for improvement and avoiding further errors. Even God evaluated his creation each day and saw that it was good, proceeding the next day (Genesis 1: 1-31 and Koran 57:4). In this book, you will be introduced to Measurement and Evaluation, especially their meaning, significance and styles.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Article 1 of the UN Charter gives the UN the task of maintaining international peace and security.In Article 2(4) of the Charter there is a prohibition on the use of force by states. An exception to the prohibition on use of force is Article 51 which provides for self defence against other States if an armed attack occurs against a Member State of the UN.Recent years have seen the emergence of groups that are non-state actors and that inflict violence and harm on states for political, religious and other reasons, for example terrorist groups. It becomes necesary to determine what the limits of the right to self-defence are and whether use of force agaimst non-state actors (whose actions cannot be attributed to the state on whose territory they are found), does not go against the prohibition on use of force or infringe the territorial sovereignty of such states. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This dissertation researches the applicability of the existing literature, theories and models on generic strategies for small entrepreneurial firms in today's economy. All well known literature, theories and models on generic strategies are reviewed. As result two main theories are highlighted as the cornerstones and foundation of today's understanding on generic strategies. These papers were written around 1980, which makes them outdated. Therefore several modern papers are used to make amendments to these older theories and take them into the digital era. The combination of the prior mentioned papers and amendments form the theoretic framework for a new model, which is tested through a research among 219 SMB firms in the Netherlands. The research affirms the applicability of parts of the new model and proposes a reduced model. This reduced model represents the strategic choices of entrepreneurials start-up firms in today's economy. Finally the underlying conditions of the strategic choices are addressed. The research identifies several significant conditions. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book I have endeavoured to show how we can plan a comparative study of the the content analysis of few newspaper dailies. This has the power to increase the significance of research process using content analysis and comparison. I have made in this book an attempt to study and compare the 'disability communication' as available in four great dailies, published from Mumbai. Among the English dailies, The Times of India, The Indian Express, The Hindustan Times and The DNA (Daily News Analysis) are four major English daily newspapers published from Mumbai and in several metros in India. Circulation figures indicate that Times of India is the highest, with 2 million readerships. Indian Express has the largest number of editions in India. Hindustan Times has the single largest edition from New Delhi and DNA (Daily News Analysis) is the Mumbai's fastest growing newspaper. Hence all these four dailies were selected for the research study. This book will benefit the students and professionals in the field of Journalism, Media Management and those dealing with Persons with Disabilities for creating awareness on disability issues. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper deals with three issues, which are arguably some of the most important factors in determining the incentive structure of field bureaucrats. They are: a) the security of tenure of the officials serving in the field b) the problem of coordination between the officials of various departments working in the field, and c) the issue of the field bureaucrats being monitored by their bureaucratic superiors in the State or National capitals. I begin with a brief introduction of the issues to be discussed. I go on to the theoretical inspiration for the paper and follow this by a brief historical background of the Civil Service in India and the structure of the Civil Service that evolved as a result. Next, I describe how the security of tenure is an important variable in determining the performance of the field bureaucrats. I then describe the interaction between the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police, arguably the two most important field bureaucrats working in the Districts in India. Following this, I model this interaction as a two-person Prisoners'' Dilemma game. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Remittances, the transfer of money by immigrants to their countries of origin, haves eclipsed Official Development Assistance (ODA) and are fast rivaling Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as major sources of funds for developing countries. The global diaspora population has grown rapidly and remits regularly to countries of origin. The USA and Saudi Arabia are the major sources of remittances whereas India and Mexico, are top receivers. Zimbabwe, a country that witnessed economic decline from the year 2000 saw a surge in its citizens leaving the country to settle abroad. These immigrants used their new found wealth in their new found host countries to cushion families back home from the vagaries of economic recession. The money they remitted helped in importing food and other welfare uses like health and education. Most importantly the remittances boosted the foreign currency coffers of the country thus giving it much reprieve from the sanction ridden pariah status it got itself into. Other small countries, like Swaziland and Lesotho, depend primarily on remittances (primarily form South Africa) to sustain their domestic economies. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in China is critically evaluated, making a comparison of Hong-Kong Hang Seng (HK HSI) and FTSE100 listed companies. This is split into a number of objectives, pursued in the subsequent chapters. Chapter1 sets out a background of theories that underpin the CSR concept, making reference to Garriga and Mele's (2004) framework. Chapter2 highlights some CSR issues and their corresponding responses in China, drawing links to the theories highlighted in chapter1. Chapter3 examines the motivations of countries and companies approaches to CSR issues and explores what impact the level of economic development could have on a country's approach to CSR and ability to thoroughly enforce CSR oriented regulations. Hence reference is made to Dean et. al.'s (2009) Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) that emerging and developing economies have a lax approach to environmental CSR regulations in order to attract much needed foreign investment. The CSR reporting practices of 20HK-HSI and 20FTSE100 companies are analysed along a criterion set out in appendices 3 and 4, the results from both samples are compared, culminating in the final conclusion and recommendations. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bandpass modulators combine over-sampling and noise shaping to get very high resolution in a narrowband. In recent years interests have been seen in wireless system and software radio using the modulators to digitize signals near the front end of radio receivers. Such applications necessitate clocking the modulators at a high frequency (MHz or above). Therefore a loop filter is required in continuous-time circuits (e.g., using transconductors and integrators) rather than discrete-time circuits (e.g., using switching capacitors) where the maximum clocking rate is limited by the bandwidth of Opamp, switch's speed and settling time of the circuitry. In this work, the design of a CMOS 4th-order bandpass modulator clocking at 500MHz for direct conversion of narrowband signals is presented. A new calibration scheme is proposed. The continuous-time loop filter is based on Gm-C resonators. A novel transconductance amplifier has been developed with high linearity for the application. Q-factor of filter is enhanced by tuning negative impedance of OTA. The modulator is implemented using 0.35 µm triple-metal standard analog CMOS technology. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There has been considerable amount of work done in the past decade by different biometric vendors as well as researchers in order to improve the accuracy of both biometric data collection systems as well as the underlying algorithms to perform different mapping and matching. Biometric Facial recognition systems are continuously improving with advancements in technology as well as decreasing hardware costs. However, in order to develop efficient biometric facial recognition systems, organizations must take into account different technical issues which include reliability, usability, interoperability as well as data collection, dissemination and evaluation of such systems. Adherence to standards is a key for interoperable systems and user acceptance along with trust can lead to easy deployment of such facial biometric systems in a society. These technical as well as social issues were identified by regular discussions with the Chairman and members of Swedish National Biometric Association's and conducting interview sessions with different biometric companies who are specially dealing with face recognition biometric systems. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Rapid heating by x-rays and ions in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) chambers will produce stress waves in dry chamber walls, in some cases leading to damage that will ultimately fail the structure. These waves can affect the surface or propagate to the substrate and produce delamination. Hence, it is important that these waves be understood. Models exist for thermally induced stress waves resulting from surface heating, but models with volumetric heating have not been presented for IFE conditions. In this book, models are developed for elastic stresses caused by rapid volumetric heating in a half-space. The stress wave models are obtained analytically by using Laplace transforms and compared to a finite element analysis. Different heating distributions which cover the relevant heating for a typical IFE threat are discussed. Results are given for both x-ray and ion heating using threats from a direct drive target. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book shows the sights of Absolute Parallelism (AP), and contains useful information on the problem of singularities, compatibility theory, homotopy groups (also relative and k-ad), topological quasi-charge groups and their morphisms. AP is a single (frame) field theory proposed by Einstein some 80 years ago; it embraces symmetries of both Special and General Relativity. The compatibility theory, if applied to the cases when the frame matrix degenerates, gives a covariant test on singularities of solutions. This gives a single variant (missed in Einstein-Mayer's list of compatible equations), the unique 5D equation (nothing, nor D, can be changed), which solutions are free of emerging singularities. SO4-symmetrical nonstationary solutions give rise to a cosmological model (relativistic surfing; anti-Milne model in FRW framework) with a specific reduction of the extra-dimension. Topological classification of localized field configurations, combinatorics of topological quasi-charges (quanta), is discussed in an attempt to imagine the Standard Model (and quantum theory itself; and, perhaps, to make some qualitative predictions, like the absence of spin zero elementary quanta). 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness in children in middle-income countries. In 1995, it accounted for 10.6% of blindness in children in schools for the blind in South Africa. This study was undertaken to estimate the number of premature babies at risk and to investigate policies, practices and screening programmes. 13000 to 15000 surviving premature babies are at risk of ROP each year. Shortage of equipment precluded continuous oxygen monitoring in public units. Nursing levels were often below recommendations, and most nurses were unaware of target oxygen saturations. Private units were well staffed and adequately equipped. Ophthalmologists were only visiting four units on a regular basis for screening, using the birth weight criterion of ,1500 g for ROP screening. ROP needing treatment rates were low (1.6 2.9%), as were rates of follow-up. Access to neonatal care is increasingly available and babies are being saved at all levels. Unless concomitant strategies are put into place for screening, Retinopathy of prematurity is likely to be a major cause of blindness. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Space-time block code (STBC) is a maturing technology to achieve transmit diversity over fading channels. As the number of transmit antennas increases beyond two, current approaches to design STBCs either make trade off between the achievable diversity gain and the code rate, or achieve both full diversity and full rate at the expense of exponentially increased decoder complexity. This book presents a new STBC design method that combines two real orthogonal STBCs (O-STBC) with offset QAM. This approach is able to achieve both full diversity and full code rate, yet allows simple real symbol wise decoding whose complexity is independent of the number of transmit antennas. This book provides a detailed analysis of the impact of key system parameters on the error performance of the scheme. A complete chapter is devoted to systematic design of the two real O-STBCs for optimal error performance. This book should be useful to any researcher who is in the field of MIMO communications, or any engineering professional who is looking for an effective STBC solution for practical implementation. 116 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sedimentation impacts many infrastructures including river regulation works, reservoir, etc. This has attracted increasing attention from the public and engineers. Recently, the Rusumo Falls hydroelectric project has been approved. The falls are located on the Kagera River whose tributaries; Nyabarongo and Ruvubu Rivers, are known for their high sediment load content. The high concentrations in sediment lead to the sedimentation of the reservoir and consequently to a loss of storage capacity within a short period. For a proper planning and management of the reservoir, an anticipated quantification of sediment yield and deposition was carried out using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The SWAT model produced information on sediment yield which was fed into the empirical methods i.e. Ort (1930) and the method of rate of storage capacity loss. The results showed that part of the sediment will be deposited in the wetland area far upstream of the dam, and the remaining part in the pool just behind the dam. A loss of 2.5-10% of the storage capacity of the reservoir was predicted within a period of ten years after the commissioning of the project. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Medication related problems (MRPs) are on the rise, and are a major concern especially for healthcare professionals as they pose a significant risk to patients leading to hospitalisation and increasing the healthcare expenditure. As the drug therapy is becoming more complex, the challenge of prescribing appropriate medication is increasing. In clinical settings, a wide range of MRPs might arise due to various causes. However, optimization of drug therapy may, by preventing MRPs, influence healthcare cost, potentially reduce morbidity and mortality, and enhance patient's quality of life. Although many studies have detailed the MRPs and their consequences, only few published studies assessed the impact of clinical pharmacist-initiated changes to drug therapy. The work described assessed and quantified the pharmacist-initiated changes to drug therapy and their impact on cost savings. The results of the study would shed some vital data on medication related problems and the impact of pharmacist-initiated changes to drug therapy on cost savings, and should be of interest and useful to researchers and professionals in healthcare settings especially the pharmacists. 80 pp. Englisch.
