Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A study of world religions takes one on a journey both around the world and into the depths of human consciousness. Each religion proposes that life has meaning and purpose. Religions have indeed often had their problematic dark dimensions which include intolerance, violence, dogmatism, fundamentalism and fanaticism. But they have also served as wellsprings of wisdom, rich sources of moral inspiration and agents of positive transformation. In the history of human enterprise, religions have tended to be both conservators of continuity and agents of change. A study of world religions exposes one to encounter the wisdom of the ages. It helps one to expand one¿s view of the world in an encounter with other people¿s beliefs and practices; to appreciate and respect others in their difference. This book will be relevant to any curious mind that wonders and seeks to understand more intelligently the experience of the reality of religion.It will serve as a very useful tool to enable individuals, groups, administrators and policy makers meet the cogent need of developing minds of broad spectrum, indispensable to peaceful co-existence in pluralistic society in the global village of the 21st.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Foundations of Guidance and Counseling is an attempt by a seasoned academics and practitioner to bridge the paucity of indigenous literature in this field especially for our tertiary educational institutions. It has as focus such topics as the comcepts of Guidance and Counseling, Guidance Services, Counselors expected attributes, Practitioners, Work settings as well as the Evolution/Dynamics and Government policies/provisions particularly in Nigeria and in the global context. The dual objective of the piece is to equip student-teachers', Counselor trainees, parents, educators with an indigenous based guidance literature as well as enable the author to fufil academic mandate for upward job mobility.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures can occur due to many different cellular or biochemical changes such as alterations in ion channel function, neurotransmitter level (excitatory and inhibitory), neurotransmitter receptor function, energy metabolism and oxidative stress. verapamil,atorvastatin, L-carnitine, olanzapine and their combinations had antiepileptic effects through their action on cholesterol biosynthesis, free radicals ,electrolytes and glutamate receptors.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 168 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The economic sector cannot afford to operate in isolation and must foster linkages with higher education. This is because it requires qualified manpower to provide necessary services. Universities on the other hand, cannot ignore the economic sector which is the consumer of the knowledge and products generated. Strategies used to enhance the linkage between higher education and economic sector must revolve around curriculum orientation, teaching and learning focus, industrial attachment focus and collaborative research. The heightened debate on competitive forces attempt to explain why some firms perform better than others within the same industry. While resource based view emphasizes the role of firm resources, five forces model focuses on industry forces as the critical determinants of firm performance. However, most scholars attribute the difference in firm performance to both the two perspectives. Thus, it has been difficult to distinguish the relative role of competitive forces in explaining firm performance. This study investigated the moderating role of competitive forces on the relationship between linkage strategies and performance of higher education in Kenyan context.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 248 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book contains mathematical aspects of direct and inverse thermoelastic problems. The concept of direct and inverse thermoelastic problems are the central theme of this book, find its roots and applications in branches of mathematics, aeronautical sciences and mechanical engineering which is helpful for students and researchers. All the results are obtains in terms of Bessel's function in the form of infinite series. The numerical results are derived and depicted graphically. The mathematical approach of this book is to study new dimensions of thermoelastic problems in different areas. 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The majority of passive houses are built in cold zones. Since Iraq is located in a hot arid region, hence the originality of this work is that it is a novel try to apply passive house criteria in such hot climate. In the present work, a theoretical and experimental study is done to evaluate the performance of a passive house in Iraq. The objective of the theoretical work is to determine the range of design parameters needed to satisfy passive house criteria. Obviously, this requires studying the construction materials and technologies, to make sure that the building will have a good performance. In this way, advanced simulation program (Package) is created for such hot arid zone. The objective of the experimental work is to evaluate the feasibility of practical model built according to passive house criteria. The obtained data, experiences and solutions are presented in order to demonstrate the best conclusions for the design of an Iraqi passive house. 148 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book: 'A First Course in Electrical & Electronic Engineering for Science & Engineering students (With Worked Examples)' is aimed at introducing Science & Engineering students generally to Electrical & Electronic Engineering. Electrical Engineering is seen by many students as being very abstract. This is not really true. In an attempt to present the subject naturally as it is to students, the author builds up readers from the basic knowledge of Physics (and perhaps Mathematics). Any student who has completed studies of GCE O/L Physics and Mathematics successfully, should have no problems in understanding the book. 'Introduction to Electrical Engineering' is a course taken by all second year students in Engineering Faculties in all Nigerian Universities. Having taught the course for some time at the University of Uyo, Uyo, Nigeria, the author knows where the problems are. A good number of students, mostly from departments other than Electrical Engineering, often find it difficult to conceptualize the direction of flow of current in a loop all 'on the paper'. Thorough and skillful explanations in this book have addressed all that. Several solved examples have also been presented. 400 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Problems relating to housing affordability are closely linked to economic and social factors. Faced with rising rural urban migration, increasing house price, low income growth and high cost of living, the younger working households (YWH) struggle to own a house especially in the private housing market in urban area. Current housing policies do little to help YWH afford a house. Using an institutional framework, this study argued that the state is responsible for providing adequate housing to all income group particularly low and middle income household. When market conditions fail, the state should be held responsible in maximizing housing welfare. The discussion of identifying housing affordability problems among YWH led to two important factors to consider. Firstly, the structural pathways in housing policy and schemes have disappointed YWH because of the difficulties to compete in the open housing market and the gap of affordable housing is yet to be filled by the state. Secondly, the capability of YWH in doing things and not their intention in doing it is influenced by the formal structure. 388 pp. Englisch.
