The discussion centers around Beethoven's notoriously difficult Sonata in D major for Cello and Piano, using the work as a springboard for illustrating Greenhouse's approach to interpreting music. Greenhouse discussed the influence of his teacher, Pablo Casals, and showed how performers can 'turn music into speech that can be understood.' To that end, he demonstrated techniques for enunciating notes, and for creating rhythmic momentum and dynamic inflections. This book is intended for advanced cellists who wish to improve their playing. It sets forth Greenhouse's cello technique, and documents his interpretation of Beethoven's sonata in the form of annotations to a performer's edition of the score. 80 pp. Englisch.

It focuses on hiding secret messages inside a cover medium. The most important property of a cover medium is the amount of data that can be stored inside it without changing its noticeable properties. There are many sophisticated techniques with which to hide, analyze, and recover that hidden information. This research work discusses an exploration in the use of Genetic Algorithm operators on the cover medium. We worked with text as the cover medium with the aim of increasing robustness and capacity of hidden data. Elitism is used for the fitness function. The model presented here is applied on text files, though the idea can also be used on other file types. Our results show this approach satisfied both security and hiding capacity requirements. Furthermore, we found that an increase in the size of the secret message resulted in an exponential increase in the size of the generated cover text. We also found a close relationship between the size of the chromosome used and the population size. 60 pp. Englisch.

The living standard of the dwellers is worst among that of all the sectors. This study attempts to describe why the situation is not improving as linearly as expected. It criticizes the applicability of popular strategic ideologies and verifies that- all of those seldom attempted to understand the different natures of urban poverty, came across the true needs of poor dwellers, assessed their daily life issues, and prescribed solutions accordingly. The study also shows that different government and non-government organizations have been producing good policy suggestions to overcome the hurdle, but due to problematic approaches only few are succeeding. Since its origin, integrated marketing has been an empirically proven strategy helping organizations achieve their goals. This study, in the manner of a theoretical analysis, shows the pathway how this strategy can play roles in eradicating poverty of urban informal sector of Bangladesh and lead the sector to achieve development. 56 pp. Englisch.

In the United States, about three quarters of women start breastfeeding in the early post-partum period and less than half are still breastfeeding their infant at six months of age. Through a multi-faceted approach, the primary goal of breastfeeding interventions is to promote breastfeeding. This book examines the effectiveness of breastfeeding programs through the mothers' eyes by asking her about breastfeeding practices, her beliefs toward breastfeeding, and what she perceives are barriers toward breastfeeding. Mothers report that one-on-one services from a breastfeeding specialist, availability of breastfeeding equipment, and support from their own mother greatly influence their decision to start and continue breastfeeding. Employers continue to be viewed as barriers toward breastfeeding. This book should be especially useful for public health practitioners and clinicians when designing and implementing a breastfeeding support program. This book will also help enhance current breastfeeding services and their delivery. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st genetically encoded amino acid, is the major metabolite of the micronutrient selenium. Sec is inserted into nascent proteins in response to a recoded UGA stop codon. The substrate for ribosomal protein synthesis is selenocysteinyl-tRNA. The mechanism of Sec-tRNA formation was known in bacteria, but remained poorly understood in archaea and eukaryotes. Herein, biochemical and genetic data provide evidence that Sec-tRNA biosynthesis requires the tRNA-dependent conversion of O-phosphoserine (Sep) to Sec in eukaryotes and archaea. In this two-step pathway O-phosphoseryl-tRNA kinase (PSTK) first converts seryl-tRNA to Sep-tRNA, which is then the obligatory precursor for a Sep-tRNA: Sec-tRNA synthase (SepSecS). SepSecS used to be annotated as Soluble Liver Antigen/Liver Pancreas (SLA/LP) and is thought to be the antigen for a form of autoimmune hepatitis. The crystal structure of human SepSecS complexed with its substrates sheds light to the vitamin B6-dependent mechanism of Sec-tRNA formation. This report is useful to biophysicists, biochemists, and evolutionary biologists as well as to anyone investigating the role of SepSecS in autoimmune hepatitis. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The noise contained in images collected by a charge coupled device (CCD) camera is predominantly of Poisson type. This motivates the use of the negative logarithm of the Poisson likelihood in place of the ubiquitous least squares fit-to-data. However, if the underlying mathematical model is assumed to have the form z = Au, where A is a linear, compact operator, the problem of minimizing the negative log-Poisson likelihood function is ill-posed, and hence some form of regularization is required. This work involves solving a variational problem: minimizing the sum of the negative log Poisson likelihood and a regularizing functional. The main result of this book is a theoretical analysis of this variational problem for various regularization functionals. In addition, this work presents an efficient computational method for its solution, and the demonstration of the effectiveness of this approach in practice by applying the algorithm to simulated astronomical imaging data corrupted by the CCD camera noise model mentioned above. 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines literary depictions of the gifts exchanged when friends and lovers part, and the impact that these gifts and the farewell during which they are given have on the reunions the texts depict or anticipate. Chapter One argues that in Thomas Dekker s The Shoemaker s Holiday, when Ralph Damport gives his wife, Jane, a decorative pair of shoes they position her as a gentlewoman and as a gentleman s fiancée rather than a shoemaker s wife. Chapter Two examines Amelia Lanyer s 'Salve' dedications, arguing that she positions herself as an intermediary between Christ and her reader and her book as a gift that demands reciprocation. Chapter Three analyzes the farewell exchange of a ring and a bracelet between newly married Innogen and Posthumus in Shakespeare s Cymbeline. While the spouses offer their gifts as pledges of love and loyalty, this exchange quickly degenerates into a competition over which gift, and which giver, is most valuable. Chapter Four examines Shakespeare s Troilus and Cressida, and the spontaneous exchange of a sleeve and a glove that the lovers enact when they part. In this exchange, they become agents who attempt to rewrite their well known fates. 132 pp. Englisch.

The study was informed by the Waring Intimacy Questionnaire (Waring & Reddon, 1984) and the eight facets of intimacy identified for this measure. In this study 250 polyamorous women in the United States answered questions about their relationship experiences via a web-based survey. Descriptive data was gathered about why participants choose to engage in polyamorous relationships and what expectations, needs, hopes, and wants they achieved or did not achieve. Information gathered included demographic information, commitment practices, and relationship preferences. Participant responses were divided into subgroups, and while responses varied across sub-populations, nearly all subgroups described greater overall satisfaction in their polyamorous relationships. Participants reported, overall, that they experienced significant rewards and benefits in their polyamorous relationships, and that those rewards and benefits outweighed the moderate drawbacks that they perceived. 144 pp. Englisch.

It is an annual herb, bears a single seeded pod. The pericarp of the seed is sticky and oily which contains coumarins, of which Psoralen and Isopsoralen are therapeutically important. It has been used in treating leprosy and psoriasis, eczema and hair loss. Psoralea is propagated through seeds, when the crop is cultivated commercially, the availability of good quality seed is become more crucial. The quality seeds can be made available through standard seed testing procedures accepted across the international countries. So to check verify such quality characters, seed testing procedures are highly warranted. For many crops the seed testing procedures were already standardized but the growing medicinal plant like Psoralea corylifolia there is no standard procedure, hence this study was designed to identify the standard seed testing procedures. In this book different tests conducted in seed testing laboratories, methodologies and their results were discussed. I hope that the book will be highly useful resource material, to standardize the seed testing procedures for other crops. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The phenomenon known as metastability has been widely studied for a large class of evolutive PDEs. From a general point of view, a metastable behavior appears when solutions to a PDE exhibit a first time scale in which they are close to some non-stationary state for an exponentially long time before converging to their asymptotic limit. In particular, through a transient process, a pattern of internal layers is formed from initial data over a short time interval; once this pattern is formed, the subsequent motion of the internal layers towards the steady state is exponentially slow. In this book we describe a general strategy to approach the problem of the slow motion of internal layers for a class of parabolic-hyperbolic systems, including viscous scalar conservation laws and the Jin-Xin system. 80 pp. Englisch.

He seems to be omnipresent and is there as soon as the consumer wishes for him. On the other hand both the consumer and the public have different opinion about his existence. The upper class sees him as an eye sore using up valuable public space which could be otherwise used for alternate purpose like parking. The people living in the slums of Mumbai for them he is the messiah and someone with whom they identify one among them. It is the people from the middle class who are not sure about their opinion. They are dependable on him for their daily purchases but are not sure whether he should be accommodated within the city. This book explores the perception about the hawkers in other Indian cities in brief and in depth in Mumbai. Few deny his requirement of services. In-fact they believe that they cannot imagine Mumbai without hawkers and still hold alternate opinions. 56 pp. Englisch.

Maharashtra occupies the 8th position in shrimp farming producing of 1,120 mt (2010-11). The study Production and marketing of cultured shrimp in Thane district of Maharashtra was carried out in 3 selected districts (Dhanua, Palghar & Vasai) of Maharastra covering 22 private, 44 leased out government & 1 co-operative shrimp farm. Economics of leased out shrimp farms have been worked out taluka wise for small, medium and large farms. The estimated production function for 3 types of farming situations in Thane district of Maharashtra were based on the 3 different types of farming situations. The function has given a good fit to the data going by the R squared. The overall fit is acceptable and hence the functional form described the response of dependent variable ( gross income ) to the changes in independent variable by 84% ,94% and 91% respectively in the 3 farming situations across the 3 talukas of Palghar, Dhanua and Vasai of Thane district. The need of the hour is to advocate a balanced growth strategy, which would take care of the sustainability without sacrificing equity and economics. 100 pp. Englisch.

Political apathy amongst lay Punjabi women stems from the permanent cultural genitals accepted as naturally inalienable because they are sourced onto their biological genitals thus creating fixation, frustration, social deprivation and cultural inferiority. No doubt Punjabi society is faced with issues of female foeticide, denial of seva and runaway NRI grooms. Sadly male mascochism and female sadism have become loud pervasive reality of life as contemporary women leadership in Punjab has been unable to curb and change negative cultural inertia preventing them to raise even genuine issues of women on electoral agenda. Actually in Punjabi society, a woman's creative activity of reproduction and production of materials stand devalued in futile comparison with men. Power bereft gender gets expression in literature and politics revealing one's mind to the reality of process of gender construction pursued in sturdy manner unknowingly in silence. Only political lesbianism can uproot the 'son preference' embedded psychologically to enable way for a gender sensitized society and politics. 124 pp. Englisch.

The study explores the social, historical, religious, and cultural contexts out of which these conversions arise, the nature of the conversion experience itself, and it compares the converts, three quarters of whom are ex-Catholics, with the Catholics against whose beliefs and rituals Ugandan converts normally define themselves. Born Again Christianity is a subculture whose members share a similar way of life and construct a distinct collective identity through engagement and tension with its rival groups. The factors that draw young Ugandans to Born Again Christianity are multiple and complex. My central argument is that Born Again Christianity provides young Ugandans tools to create distinction from but also significant engagement and tension with Roman Catholicism and mainstream society, while also making some concessions. It offers them something new and different, empowers them to feel, act and believe differently, within an effective support system that satisfies their need for meaning and belonging. 288 pp. Englisch.

Modeling the performance of these unconventional reservoirs requires understanding of gas behavior at elevated pressure and temperature. An important fluid property is gas viscosity which is a key factor in modeling of gas mobility in the reservoir that can have a significant impact on reserves estimation during field development planning. Accurate measurements of gas viscosity at HPHT conditions are both extremely difficult and expensive. Thus, this fluid property is typically estimated from published correlations that are based on laboratory data. This book reviews the databases of hydrocarbon gas viscosity that are available in the public domain, and discusses the validity of published gas viscosity correlations based on their applicability range. Then the full process of measuring the gas viscosity at HPHT is well explained. Step by step developing an HPHT gas viscosity correlation and running a sensitivity analysis on the accuracy of the most well-known gas viscosity models at HPHT is discussed as well. 148 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the era of widespread telecommunication systems, with the consequent crowding of the frequency spectrum, microwave filters and multiplexers play a key role in the development of most communication devices. Their design and tuning can rely on some well-established techniques, but miniaturization, wide frequency ranges and the other challenges of modern engineering relentlessly push these to their limits; the present book is meant to provide theoretical advances and insights addressing some of the common issues in this field. Filters design is here examined in a way alternative to classical approaches, in an effort to extend applicability cases and allow for a synthesis outcome closer to the real-world behavior. Diagnosis and tuning are moreover typical bottlenecks in the development of diplexers; the problem is here studied to introduce techniques aimed at obtaining models of the device under test for a quicker identification of faults and mismatched elements. Basic definitions, derivation of equations and easy-to-use algorithms are among the covered topics, alongside useful circuital transformations and computational tools for application by microwave engineers and researchers. 248 pp. Englisch.

Not many individuals can say they have been a member of a successful team. Team learning is not well understood and it is poorly executed. This project seeks to examine why teams of educators do not work well in school building organizations. The purpose of this study is to explore educator relationships in the school building organization through the use of narratives with a systems thinking perspective (Senge, 1990, 2006). Several questions are set forth in this dissertation. The overarching research question that guides this study was: What are the types of narratives educators use to talk about their experiences working with other educators on teams in their school building organizations Ancillary questions that shaped and guided this study include: 1. How do educators narrate their experiences to reveal, clarify, or explain working in teams 2. Do educators experiences on teams, whether educative or non-educative, lead to opportunities for growth and 3. What meaning-making is occurring among the educators of a school building when they are on teams 172 pp. Englisch.

A substantial body of research has identified a number of characteristics of programs, which are effective in impacting teens sexual understanding, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors, yet many questions still remain. A national survey found that a majority of adults and teens agree that schools should give teens a strong message that they should abstain from sex until they are at least out of high school (National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy), yet there is no consensus in our country as to whether programs that have a strong abstinence message are effective in delaying teen sexual involvement or whether educational resources would be better spent on programs that seek to increase the use of condoms to reduce unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (Hymowitz, 2003). The debate is also hampered by a dearth of studies of programs designed to help delay sexual involvement that use rigorous research designs (Manlove, Papillo,& Ikramullah, 2004). 116 pp. Englisch.

As part of the federal ethics and anti-corruption commission program, ethics have been implemented to solve corruption in Ethiopia for the last ten years. Even though ethics has been implementing for long time, corruption has been still one of the main challenges of development in the country. The purpose of this study is to critically appraise the application of ethics by the FEACE and to forward a better policy option. Case study approach and qualitative methodology were used to analyze data from various sources. The result of the study shows that the FEACE focuses on applying principles of professional ethics in various public institutions even though public officials do not understand the details of these principles. The findings of the study also prove that mainstream knowledge of ethics lacks local bases and acceptance, because the community prefers to accept and implement their own local values. Thus, rethinking about the methods, approaches and implementation of ethics is necessary to apply ethics for solving local improprieties. 100 pp. Englisch.

In order to enable maximum transparency, minumum use of material is needed. The more glass surfaces are used, the more maximum transparent surfaces are created. Complex systems, since they can be developed and formed by both truss and cable systems and likewise by shells such as grid shell and lattice shell, they all are reviewed and analyzed. The example of these systems are divided into different categories and for each category graph samples are produced. Complexity is determined by hierarchy, geometry, integration and new details. When more than one structural system in one building is recognized, then possibly that building is a complex one. Because it certainly involves integration of the structures, hierarchical production (built) process and new details. Complex structures sometimes stand as an entity but sometimes they are in cooperation with some other structures. These buildings are the ones in which the structural material used at a minimum degree whereas the transparency is at the maximum degree. Formally improbable structures become possible by the details used in constructing these complex structures. 108 pp. Englisch.
