Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A dramatic simplification of the mathematical apparatus (no tensors) for Einstein¿s special relativity theory is presented. For this goal some simple application of complex numbers calculus is introduced in a specific manner, possibly overlooked in literature. This way of the proceeding was initiated by introducing a trigonometric representation of the Lorentz transformation. One more step from this representation yields complex (number) extension of the real Lorentz transform, so that the space-time Minkowski model M4 is extended to the complex and Euclidean model C4 and then the later is reduced to the complex C3 time free ¿para-space¿ model. All the Einstein¿s special relativity facts are preserved with the models transition. However, in the new framework, many ¿difficult facts¿ of the relativity theory, between others time dilation, Lorentz contraction, universality of speed of light and other find their mathematical explanations. This was possible since nice (and exact !) relation between Einsteinian and Newtonian theories was exhibited in the new complex model.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This is an original research work which attempts to integrate theory with empiricism. The steel industry is manufacturing in type, bureaucratic in nature and structure, and profit-oriented. Socio-cultural stereotypes about women exist, and are routed on traditional culture, norms, and values in patrilineages. These are gradually being transferred into various institutions, corporations, and industrial organisations in modern societies. These practices have implications not only on women at work, but also on societies at large. The book is structured into seven chapters. Chapter One is Introduction, which covers among others, research problematique, objectives and scope. Chapter Two discusses relevant Literature Review, whereas Chapter Three, Theoretic Framework. Chapter Four deals with the Research Methodologies. Chapter Five traces the History of the Steel Industry in Nigeria. Chapter Six focuses on the Data Analysis, and Interpretation on Women in the Steel Industry in Nigeria.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Nepal is a landlocked country, situated in the south of Asia.Country is blessed with tremendous hydro power potential. The current electricity access is limited to only 40% of the total population. People are faced with 12 hours of load shedding especially during the dry season due to the shortage of electricity supply.In the present situation of power shortage in the national grids, it is almost impossible to supply electricity from National grids. The dissatisfaction of rural people in using electricity for only lighting purposes has forced the government to look for other alternatives. An effective use of decentralized energy technologies is an option for already electrified settlements to get relatively fast relief from the present electricity crisis on local level.Interconnection of Micro hydro power plants (already electrifying the Village) is one of the option to provide additional electricity and to improve the load factor of the Plants. Hence, this case study analysis technically, economically and socially benefits from connecting Micro-hydro plant to form mini grid in the locality.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), expatriate professionals make up the majority of the teaching workforce in the public higher education sector and make up a larger percentage than Emiratis in the private higher education sector. Emirati nationals make up the minority in both sectors. This resulted in Emiratis being extremely underrepresented in this sector and contributed to high unemployment rates amongst nationals both male and female, with Emirati females making up the larger portion of the unemployment figures. The purpose of this research is to identify and understand the factors that prevent placement and retention of UAE nationals as teachers in institutes of higher education and recommend a sensible strategy for greater attraction, placement, and retention of UAE nationals into teaching positions at higher education providers. This research is designed to examine the role expatriates play in creating barriers for Emiratis to enter certain fields of employment, specifically the higher education sector by targeting the barriers to entry into higher education positions.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Earth is growing greener. Carbon dioxide that increased from 0.03 % to 0.04 % by air volume since the beginning of the industrial era has helped boost green foliage, plankton, nutritive plants and crops yields. The benefit for mankind has been estimated to $3,000 billions. Why then IPCC AR5 and COP21 proclaim carbon Public Enemy No.1 Why cutting CO2 emissions, gas essential and irreplaceable of plant life Why fighting Earth greening Climate does change with alternating periods of warming and cooling every 30 years as probed by climate sentinels: sea ice, sea level, ARGO buoys, global mean temperature measured since 1880 and more accurately by satellites since 1979. Once natural cycles are subtracted from observations, the anthropogenic contribution to climate change appears well below dangerous levels consistent with infrared studies of greenhouse gas absorption and latest published climate sensitivity. The balance tilts in favor of the gas of life since moderate warming favors human wellbeing, growth and progress. The tentative change of paradigm is an open question addressed to citizens, to taxpayers, to the industrial, agricultural and economic world.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Vitamins are organic nutrients which are essential for life. The human body requires these nutrients to ensure normal metabolism, growth and physical well-being. Most vitamins are not made in the body, or only in insufficient amounts to meet our needs. They therefore have to be obtained primarily through the food we eat. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism. For example, ascorbic acid is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animals, and biotin and vitamin D are required in the human diet only in certain circumstances. Alkaloids are a chemically heterogeneous group of approximately 2,500 basic nitrogen containing substances found in about 15 percent of all vascular land plant and in more than 150 plant families. In plants, alkaloids due to their basic nature generally exist as salts of organic acids like acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, tannic acid, etc. and some feeble basic alkaloids like nicotine etc. A few alkaloids also occur as glycosides of sugars like glucose, rhamnose, and galactose. The concentration of alkaloids in plant depends upon the season, age and locality.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The problem of right of women has attracted global concern over the years. This book therefore focuses on the issue of protection of rights of women in Nigeria. It centers on the various forms of discrimination suffered by women in Nigeria sometimes for the reason of being women and at another time due to wrongful perceptions of the society as belonging to a subordinate class. The book examines the gap between legal protection of the right of women and the reality of discrimination, subjugation and exploitation experienced by women in Nigeria. It therefore shows disconnect between the laws relating to the rights of women in Nigeria and their implementations in practical terms.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The book is about public recreation.The critical theory approach to the study primary used non-empirical procedures data collection and analytic procedures which included investigative research, negative case analysis, and theoretical triangulation. These procedures were supplemented with empirical data collected from in-depth interviews with five scholars and with three parks and recreation managers. Results of the non-empirical procedures revealed the biased selective nature of the current conceptualization of public park and recreation marketing and the existence of alternative conceptualizations which have been ignored. The existing and alternative models were discussed with scholars and park and recreation managers. Support was found for the alternative models. From these data an alternative conceptualization of public recreation marketing was developed and named the concept of administered marketing. Implications for recreation managers are discussed. Directions for future research into the administratively managed recreation marketing concept are suggested.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Many popular music textbooks place music and the artists who create it in historical context. In an educational setting, this presentation format begs the question 'how does one assess learning ' Since readers are asked to learn a basic biography for seminal artists, the most straightforward answer involves remembering information for recall. This approach places emphasis on rote memorization and is in variance with movements in higher education emphasizing higher order thinking skills like critical thinking, analysis, and creation. 'Get Up, Stand Up!', establishes a methodology for the analysis and creation of popular music suitable for a general education learning community. In lieu of traditional exams, learners contextualize sound production and dissect musical form and lyrical conventions. Classroom resources focus on authentic learning. Learners demonstrate mastery of concepts related to popular music study by using free or inexpensive software to create original beats, hooks, and complete songs referencing important and influential popular music conventions.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 232 pp. Englisch.

He reveals that the English education was a potent instrument for peaceful economic, social and political transformation. The history of English education in India especially in Bombay is a remarkable phenomenon. We could say that the base of the present Indian educational policy was planned and organized by the British. Under the British Rule, education in India was in the hands of those who had some vested interests. The main objective of English education was to make the Indians, to serve their masters and not the nation.It is described as a foreign plant, not suited to the Indian soil and therefore showing an unseemly growth. The reason for this growth was the selfish motive of the British authority. The primary motivating factors in British educational policy were to find solution to the needs of the administrators.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 456 pp. Englisch.
