Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ivan Spassov is one of the premiere Bulgarian composers and conductors of the 20th century. He systematically integrates elements of the rich Bulgarian folklore into his music. His style also exhibits influences from the contemporary Western European compositional tradition. The mastery of his craft shines in the use of aleatoric technique, cluster harmonies, and polyphonic elements, uniquely combined with the rhythmic, melodic, and modal intricacies of the Bulgarian folklore. This book examines Spassov s songs for women s choir, in the Bucolics From The Pirin Region collection, and how they relate to their original folk versions. Areas of study include a brief examination of Bulgarian musical folklore in relation to the uniqueness and inter-regional influences of the rhythm, meter, mode, melody and text, and an analysis of the musical scores. This analysis should provide evidence that Bucolics From The Pirin Region are examples of late-twentieth-century musical art that remain typically Bulgarian and preserve the individuality of the traditional folklore, and should be particularly useful to conductors, music educators and anyone else interested in multicultural choral music. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -State constitutional amendment procedures in most federations are flexible, involve direct popular participation and have variety of avenues. Viewed from these perspectives, state constitutional amendments in Ethiopia are rigid and solely controlled by legislatures at various levels both for initiation and ratification. The federal constitution also mandates the amendment of state constitutions to be undertaken by the state council. This may erode the state s popular sovereignty and autonomy from designing (determining) their institutions. Even if states have gone half way in setting aside this prescription, they still made the approval of amendment of certain sections of the constitution to the federal legislature. This has its own ramification in making the amendment rigid, complex and in eroding their sovereignty. The main theme of this book is, therefore, to examine and give insight on the organs, institutions and procedures involved for initiation and ratification of state constitutional amendment. It also highlights the major shortcomings of the methods adopted like rigidity of the amendment process, its exclusionary tendency of different stakeholders. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Protection against inflation is an essential part of the today's financial markets, particularly in high-inflation economies. Hence, nowadays inflation indexed instruments are being increasingly popular in the world financial markets. In this study, we focus on pricing of the inflation-indexed bonds which are the unique inflation-indexed instruments traded in the Turkish bond market. Firstly, we review the Jarrow-Y ld r m model which deals with pricing of the inflation-indexed instruments within the HJM framework. Then, we propose a pricing model that is an extension of the Jarrow-Y ld r m model. The model allows instantaneous forward rates, inflation index and bond prices to be driven by both a standard Brownian motion and a finite number of Poisson processes. A closed-form pricing formula for an European call option on the inflation index is also derived. 96 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The practice of HRM must be viewed through the prism of overall strategic goals for the organization instead of a standalone tint that takes a unit based or a micro approach. The idea here is to adopt a holistic perspective towards HRM that ensures that there are no piecemeal strategies and the HRM policy enmeshes itself fully with those of the organizational goals. For instance, if the training needs of the employees are simply met with perfunctory trainings on omnibus topics, the firm stands to lose not only from the time that the employees spend in training but also a loss of direction. Hence, the organization that takes its HRM policies seriously will ensure that training is based on focused and topical methods. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, a known Pakistani terrorist outfit that has political goals and a regional presence, is now being looked at as a global organization and the new al-Qaeda. Through such hasty and often incorrect analyses, Pakistan's role in countering radicalization and terrorism is compromised. This is also since there are other questions surrounding militant organizations in the country. The charitable organization Jamaat-ud-Daawa for instance, despite its remarkable relief efforts, is seen primarily as a front for the Lashkar-e-Tayyiba. Following global pressure, it has been publicly - though not legally - banned but it continues to operate freely and impressively. For Pakistan to redefine its goals of a secure future, there needs to be a localized narrative and it needs to work with organizations such as the Jamaat-ud-Daawa in order to fulfill its de-radicalization aims. Indeed, this requires an understanding of the country's ideological domain and development concerns in order to counter a meta-narrative that is harmful for its stability. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Turbulence is part of everyday's life. The majority of flows of industrial and technological applications are turbulent; natural flows are invariably so. There are many important and interesting physical phenomena which are connected with turbulent flows. Turbulence is observed in natural and engineering applications such as in weather prediction, air pollution, water pollution, aerodynamics and heat exchangers. This work considers an accurate and reliable solutions of turbulent flows. It is concerned with one of the most promising approaches to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows, the subgrid eddy viscosity models. We analyze both continuous and discontinuous finite element approximation of the new subgrid eddy viscosity model. This approach has the advantage that the diffusivity is introduced only on the small scales of the flow. Numerical test shows the new stabilization technique is robust and efficient in solving Navier-Stokes equations for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. 80 pp. Englisch.…

The high randomness of the pattern makes iris unique for each individual, and hence a candidate for machine recognition of identity of an individual. The first part of the thesis investigates the bottlenecks of the existing localization approaches and proposes a morphological method of devising an adaptive binarization threshold for pupil detection, and also contributes in modifying conventional integrodifferential operator based iris detection using canny detected edge map. The review of related works on matching leads to the observation that local features like Scale Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) matches the keypoints on the basis of 128-D local descriptors, hence it sometimes falsely pairs two keypoints which are from different portions of two iris images. Subsequently the need for pruning of faulty SIFT pairs is felt. The second part of the thesis proposes two methods of filtering (Angular Filtering and Scale Filtering) the SIFT impairments (faulty pairs) based on the knowledge of spatial information of the keypoints. The pruning algorithms experimentally show higher accuracy and increased separability. 76 pp. Englisch.…
