The security effectiveness and performance of these systems are the primary concerns while deploying them inline. In this book we try to address these concerns by taking a pragmatic approach in benchmarking this current generation IPS s using open source tools, techniques and methodology. This approach, we hope will help the network & security administrators to effectively and efficiently secure their corporate network saving their organization significant resources. The book also focuses on modeling an Intrusion Forecasting system(IFS)having the ability to forecast multiple internet threats. This is performed by integrating our benchmarked contemporary IPS solution into an architecture scheme based on honeynets. This model which will not only have the ability to act as an early threat warning system to internet security threats but also adapt and take preventive actions against them, hence effectively protecting corporate assets with very minimal manual intervention.In short, we hope that this book will lay a strong foundation for the evolution of next generation threat prevention products 116 pp. Englisch.

It is especially those polyhedra called uniform that have evoked the greatest interest and provided the most fascination. It should therefore be of special usefulness in classrooms today for students to see and handle paper models they have made. Making models is a genuine outlet for the creative spirit, and it can also stimulate interest in the study of mathematics. The cube, the tetrahedron, the cone, the cylinder, the sphere, shown on the front cover, are basic objects in such a study. This booklet gives instructions on how to make models like the cube and the tetrahedron. The cube has six square faces and the tetrahedron has four triangular faces. Models with faces that are other polygons, such as pentagons, hexagons, etc., are also shown in this booklet. The cone with a circular base and the cylinder with circular top and base and the sphere belong to higher mathematics. The models in this booklet when made will enhance the appearance of the classroom. The Addendum gives computer links where further help and information can be found. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the midst of international competition, tourism destinations have to continuously develop new tourism products and services in order to stay ahead of their competitors and address the changing needs of the markets. Hence, the creation of an environment of constant development of innovative offers and products is essential. The overall objective of this research study is to analyse those factors that are crucial to the development of a sustainable innovation process in tourism destinations. For sustainable innovation the destination needs to become an innovation system which can guarantee dynamics through a common vision. The innovation process can be seen as an inter-organisational network process which needs to balance cooperation and competition for the creation of innovations in tourism. Knowledge management and collaboration are identified as the most crucial factors, their interrelations are explored and a focus is placed on their systematic development. Finally the role of the coordinator of the entire process is examined in order to support the innovation process at a destination level. 116 pp. Englisch.

The grass has been identified by Indian researchers as a perennial, high value, non-perishable cash crop for wide range of agro-climatic conditions. It is a multipurpose species which provides brooms, fuel, feed stock and has high soil conservation value. To establish a comprehensive baseline data upon which developmental efforts are to be anchored, a survey among the tiger grass farmers in the area was conducted. Farmers demographic and socio-economic profiles were determined. Farm-related variables such as farm profiles, farm inputs, farm outputs, farming practices and marketing practices were also described. It was found out that if the farming and marketing practices of the farmers were to be improved, the industry can be a promising economic activity in the village. Findings further revealed that aside from being a climate change resilient species, tiger grass could be a potential commodity for agri-business in the uplands. 64 pp. Englisch.

When a learner makes an error in the target language, the instructor has two choices: to address it or to ignore it and continue. There are reasonable arguments both for and against addressing errors. The aim of this research paper is to determine what effect the explanation of learners grammatical errors will have on their written performance, as well as to see what attitude the students have towards having their errors treated. The study was carried out in the Experimental English Classes at the American University of Armenia. Two groups were involved in the study: the focus group and the comparison group. The data were collected through: two pretests, four writing assignments, two posttests and a questionnaire. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between the percentages of errors from pretests to posttests of both groups. The results also showed that for the majority of the students the correction and the explanation of their grammatical errors were useful. 72 pp. Englisch.

How can we define which potential issues are involved when discussing this phenomenon in relation to Dutch hockey Authorities, athletes and other stakeholders all aim for professionalism. However, Dutch hockey is in its infancy when it comes to exploiting commercial opportunities. Radio and television broadcasting, and newspaper coverage are important media to exploit further. In the process of professionalism, there are many stakeholders with different values, interests, and objectives. The Dutch hockey authorities should monitor and clearly articulate the potential implications of the change to all participants. Especially the voluntary sector can have difficulties accepting the business approach within sports. Volunteers are involved in decision making and administration issues at all levels within sport, they have a profound influence on the sports development, and should be approached as such. 88 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Based on numerous studies carried out recently concerning error correction, it has been argued that providing feedback is necessary for coming up with optimal results. Synchronous CMC provides an ideal context for investigating the outcomes from corrective feedback. It helps students to learn the complex forms due to the visual saliency of these forms during written interaction, the amount of processing time afforded by synchronous chat, and the enduring nature of the turns. Despite the advantages of synchronous CMC for facilitating the learning of the complex forms, research on learning outcomes following computer-mediated corrective feedback is still limited. Accordingly, the present study investigates the impact of two types of computer-mediated corrective feedback (recast and metalinguistic) on the development of learners L2 grammar knowledge. To fulfil the purpose of the study, 45 beginner learners of English were randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The analyses of results showed that the experimental groups who received computer-mediated corrective feedback outperformed the control group who did not receive any feedback. 68 pp. Englisch.

The TRNC declared its independence in 1983.The partition of the Island occurred in 1974 and the Island divided into the north (the Turkish part) and the south (the Greek part). Hence, the Turkish established their government in the north, however, it is has not received an international recognition. Turkey is the only country which North Cyprus has collaborations diplomatically. As the island's main economic activity revolves around tourism', lack of recognition and various sanctions have curtailed the sector to experience various forms of hardships.The growth of interest in alternative forms of tourism worldwide presents an opportunity for development to take place even where political problems exist; however, the assumption is that the present political condition is not allowing the north to capitalize and utilize its tourism potentials-namely sport tourism'. The politics of the lack of recognition has manifested itself in the absence of direct flight, embargos, issuance of visas, absence of credit, aids and immobility of the institutional connections. 72 pp. Englisch.

This book examines the benefits from a UK perspective of diversifying into stocks traded on other developed and emerging market stock exchanges. The empirical study provides a mean-variance analysis of international portfolios over the period between July 1995 and July 2005. It focuses on the correlation of returns across a sample of stock exchanges, providing estimates of the correlations as well as testing statistically the stability of these correlations over time. The empirical results demonstrate that an investor from the UK would have benefited from holding an international portfolio, especially one made up of securities drawn from emerging markets over the period examined. Although an international diversification effect exists, it is unstable as the correlations of returns fluctuate over time and past relationships are not necessarily an accurate guide to the nature of future relationships. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The question of a link between narrative analysis and ethics is a central concern of narrative theory. Drawing mainly from the works of John Dewey, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Paul Ricoeur, this book argues that ethical understanding can be developed through a reader's discovery of the ultimate intelligibility of sub-narratives and settings that function within a narrative work. It describes four narrative strategies (tenets) that characterize the content of an ethically complex narrative: character identity, choice, will, and setting. These tenets exist and operate within an ethically complex narrative in a fashion that provides the broad context required for a realization of narrative intelligibility that can lead to ethical understanding. To demonstrate a concrete example of an ethically complex narrative, this book analyzes David Simon and Edward Burns' The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, exploring how the tenets of ethical complexity function within its pages. This analysis should aid those seeking to forge clear links between the act of engaging with narrative structure and the development of a reader's understanding of ethics. 64 pp. Englisch.

Philosophy is personal and Kierkegaard's writings deal with the development of the person in their aesthetic, ethical and religious dimensions. The book argues that authentic faith actually entails faith. The existential believer has this faith whereas the religious believer does not. The subjectively reflective existential believer recognizes that a leap of faith is needed; anything else, is just historical, speculative knowledge. With original insight, the book shows that Kierkegaard's example of Abraham as a Knight of Faith is incorrect. Unamuno's faith of the 'paradoxical believer' is given as a strong alternative to those who find that Kierkegaard's existential faith is not a possibility. 116 pp. Englisch.

A very traditional society is in the process of being modernized , or what is probably more correct, westernized. The pace of change is not uniform in the different facets of social life. Again, urban life has witnessed far greater change than rural life. The totality of change is truly revolutionary. (Kar: 2005). The transformation of the Indian society that has been taking place is a very gradual one though a marked one. The new and the old exist side by side, in varying proportions. There is a marked eagerness to take to new ways of living but at the same time a general reluctance to give up old attitudes, customs and practices. Probably this constitutes both strength and weakness of the Indian society. (Charnay: 1981). The relativized and pluralized western culture further evokes a perception of the West as being tolerant and the Rest as intolerant and fundamentally dogmatic. 72 pp. Englisch.

The Adult Attachment Scale and the Sternberg s Love Triangular Scale were administered to a convenient sample of 133 students (69 females and 64 males) enrolled at the American University of Beirut and Haigazian University. A correlation analyses showed that secure individuals tend to show high levels of intimacy and commitment in their relationships and avoidant individuals tend to show low levels of intimacy and commitment in their relationships. However, the results did not confirm the fourth hypothesis which stated that anxious individuals show high levels of intimacy and commitment in their relationships. Moreover, results confirmed that females, in general, are more intimate and committed than males. Implications of the results were discussed and directions for future research were proposed 80 pp. Englisch.
