Model-Driven Development (MDD) aims to replace manual software development methods by automated methods using Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) to express domain concepts effectively. Main actors in software industry, Microsoft and IBM have recognized the need to provide technologies and tools to allow building DSLs to support MDD. On the one hand, Microsoft is building DSL Tools integrated in Visual Studio; on the other hand IBM is contributing to the development of Eclipse Modeling Frameworks, both tools aim to make development and deployment of DSLs easier. Software practitioners seek for guidelines regarding how to adopt these tools. In this book, the author presents the current state-of-the-art in MDD standards and Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM). Furthermore, the author presents the current state-of-the-tools developed for DSM and performs a comparison of Microsoft DSL Tools and Eclipse EMF/GEF/GMF Frameworks based on a set of evaluation criteria. 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book thematises Hegel s earliest writings to explore the role an organic theory plays in his understanding of politics, society, ethics, culture and human nature. The book develops a relational account of the organic where the relations constitutive of the socio-political realm are understood as recognitive ones. Ultimately Hegel presents a non holistic relational social theory mediating the tensions between holism and individualism. This book contributes to the small body of English language writings devoted to Hegel s Early Theological Writings. It does so by showing that many of the features important to Hegel s later work are present in his earliest thinking in a more radical form. Most importantly it demonstrates that both a relational theory of Geist and an ethics of recognition are present in his thinking as early as 1793 and emerged through his thinking about the relationship between religion and society. 272 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Six Sigma has emerged as one of the most successful business improvement models of the latter 20th century; yet, there has been little research devoted to the quality of the training and curriculum that is the foundation of this quality improvement methodology. Bruce DeRuntz explores the perceptions of Black Belt trainers with respect to the criteria they use to evaluate Six Sigma projects. More specifically, he discovers the trainer's perceptions of the relative importance of the American Society for Quality's (ASQ) Certified Six Sigma Body of Knowledge (BOK), the relative importance of non-technical skills for a Black Belt, and the BOK's applicability for use as evaluation criteria for Six Sigma projects. Through his research with Master Black Belts, he identifies; the hierarchy of importance for the major topics within the ASQ's BOK, the effect that project evaluation experience has on a trainer's performance, the value of having a valid and reliable project evaluation instrument, the appropriate amount of weighted scoring that should be used in the development of a project evaluation instrument, and validation of the affective skills needed to become a successful Black Belt. 112 pp. Englisch.

This Book promotes regional integration as the necessary step for New Caledonia to conform to international demands. The trade preferences that are currently available to African/Caribbean/Pacific (ACP) states and the liberalisation of trade in the Pacific promoted by the Cotonou Agreement are considered, as is the proposed comprehensive EPA between the European Union (EU) and the Pacific region. This Book particularly discusses the relevance of the EU/ACP trade arrangements to New Caledonia and whether there is any constitutional impediment to New Caledonia's increased participation in the EPA negotiations or membership of a free trade agreement. The author proposes that New Caledonia should be more actively involved in the Pacific region by fully participating in the EPA negotiations as a potential member of the Pacific Group. 76 pp. Englisch.

Since these models are, in general, incomplete, that is, all contingent claims cannot be replicated by a self-financing portfolio consisting of investments in a risk-free bond and in the stock, it is suggested that the market should be enlarged by artificial assets based on the power-jump processes of the underlying Levy process. Then it is shown that the enlarged market is complete and the explicit hedging portfolios for claims whose payoff function depends on the prices of the stock and the artificial assets at maturity are derived. Furthermore, the portfolio optimization problem is considered in the enlarged market. It is shown that for particular choices of the equivalent martingale measure in the market, the optimal portfolio only consists of bonds and stocks. This corresponds to completing the market with additional assets in such a way that they are superfluous in the sense that the terminal expected utility is not improved by including these assets in the portfolio. This book, therefore, should be useful to postgraduates and researchers in mathematical finance. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cylinder liner surface topography greatly affects friction losses, oil consumption, emissions and longevity of internal combustion engines. Nowadays, the improvement of the surface quality is one of the major considerations of the engine developers and the surface optimization would be greatly facilitated by automatic quality control. To this context, surface roughness definitions, parameters, and measurement techniques were reviewed in this work. A number of roughness parameters calculated from measurements taken on samples of different cylinder liner types of Volvo truck engines are presented. A method for determining the needed number of measurements and routines for extracting and computing the groove parameters, were developed, implemented in MATLAB and applied on the measurements. The MATLAB codes can be a useful tool in automating the quality control of liner surfaces and are given in the appendix. Principles for procedures needed to fully automate the surface grading by roughness parameters analysis are also described. This work should help the professionals or anyone else who may be interested in objective quality control of cylinder surfaces. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The present work examined the predictive role of phonological awareness and decoding accuracy in second language (L2) learning. Study 1 examined the role of native language (English) decoding accuracy in predicting second language (Spanish) learning in college-age adults. The study tested the hypothesis that the predictive relationship between native language (L1) decoding accuracy and second language learning is mediated by decoding accuracy in the second language. The results were in line with the hypothesis. Study 2 tested theoretical models of second language (English) reading comprehension among native Spanish speaking children. The model hypothesizing an indirect relationship between L2 phonological awareness and L2 reading comprehension, as mediated by decoding and vocabulary in the L2, was more parsimonious and consistent with the observed data than the alternative model. However, both models suggested that the two most important skills for reading comprehension in English (L2) are decoding accuracy and vocabulary knowledge. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Toni Morrison s works have been debated, explicated, and theorized in many areas primarily regarding race, history, culture and gender. However, little discussion exists on the subject of Morrison's use of the grotesque, especially how the grotesque is used a vehicle to discuss social, cultural, and political topics. In Toni Morrison's Novels: The Grotesque as Social, Cultural, and Political Aesthetic, various definitions and applications of the grotesque in art and literature are discussed in general and particular definitions and applications that pertain to Morrison s novels are discussed and analyzed in terms of roles, functions, and purposes. Discussions and analyses are situated in regard to Morrison s potential purposes for writing, as well as recurring themes, motifs, and issues. Purposes, such as revealing African American female and adolescent self-hate, exposing oppressive social, cultural, and educational systems that negatively affect African Americans, and showing the paradoxical intersection between love and violence, are explored. Issues and themes such as myth, mothering, beauty and the stimatization and marginalization of blacks are examined as well. 116 pp. Englisch.

This book examines this issue from a social-cognitive approach, suggesting empathy and its related abilities, such as Theory of Mind and cognitive flexability, as core factors affecting the patients' social competence. These factors are further discussed in relation to their link to prefrontal brain areas and their role in Schizophrenia. The data showed here suggests that an account of the behavioral impairment accompanying schizophrenia that excludes the role of emotion is insufficient. Normal social lives and adaptive responses are likely to require constant integration between cognitive and affective components. 80 pp. Englisch.

More and more individuals, even entire communities must leave behind their familiar environments. Within this context, displacement can be interpreted as an identity crisis; one which puts into question, and at times suspends, the possibility of telling a coherent story thus allowing the storyteller to be a powerful, creative agent. The guiding questions of this book relate notions of identity, displacement and art. As artists, what are our particular ways of addressing the issue of identity in the context of immigration What are our strategies of relocation What are the implications for art education To answer these questions the author gathered and analyzed the life narratives of three recent immigrant women who use art to express themselves. Included in this analysis are reflections related to the author s immigration from native Romania to Canada. Focusing on the artists accounts, the book explores the relationship between the experience of displacement and the (re)construction of identity, and uncovers ways by which visual narrative has been used as a strategy of empowerment. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Clergy training in theology and philosophy may not always prepare priests or ministers for their role as pastoral counselors. A common misconception conceives of the priest as the problem solver for those approaching with concerns. It will be helpful to change that perception as the priest is not a solver of issues but is rather an individual who accompanies the client on their journey to problem resolution. A changed perception can alleviate much of the stress and fear that emerges in the role of counselor. After a brief focus on the need for training and the concepts inherent in the process of pastoral counseling, this book provides simple strategies for losing the fear and gaining the skills that will encourage priests and other clergy in this essential role. This guide for skills' integration will explain a more cohesive, easy-to-understand process that encourages client empowerment and discourages reliance on the clergy member. 64 pp. Englisch.

The West Broadway is one of such neighbourhoods with privileged location in a strategic area which can assimilate higher demand for new smaller household in future. (TIF) for community development financing, which can be made available for financially unfeasible renovation, alteration, maintenance and reconstruction for the purpose of revitalization of the area. The book investigates the financial feasibility of return in the form of property taxes to the City and to the Province using TIF. The study reveals that the returns in the form of incremental education and municipal taxes from and after the investment are not sufficient for economic feasibility, however, a project life of at least ten years is feasible. The financial feasibility, albeit depends on certain conditions. Based on the study, some vital conclusions were drawn and recommendations for the adoption of TIF for the West Broadway are made for instituting a self financed TIF district for the neighbourhood. 120 pp. Englisch.

This is common practice in both native speaker and non-native speaker English Composition and ESL writing classes, particularly in college. Being so widely used, such a teaching practice needs to be examined from a research prospective in order to establish whether, and to what extent, it aids the writing process. Addutionally, the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) field needs to establish whether, and to what extent, such classroom practice aids the SLA process. This book discusses the issues in SLA and the teaching and learning of writing: SLA Theories, Interaction and Input Hypotheses, Literacy and Writing, and Theories of Composition. This book also reports the findings of a small scale study that employed both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis. The work in this area is important for future development of SLA theory and practice beacuse SLA needs to test the theories and classroom practices in order to find ways to best help the teaching of writing and English in an EFL/ESL classrooms. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the settings of John Dryden s poem A Song for St Cecilia s Day, 1687 by Giovanni Draghi & George Frideric Handel, establishing similarities and disparity in the text setting & word painting techniques employed by the two composers. Exploring the respective backgrounds of the poet and composers, the book also considers some of the poetic elements of Dryden s poem & their relationship to music, placing in context the musical setting of a poem in honour of St Cecilia. Deeper analysis of the methods of text setting, word painting practices & structural components of the two compositions reveals similarities & contrasts in methodology & in the effectiveness of the resulting musical material. The development of musical form in the years separating the two works contributes in part to the variance in text setting practice, though it is Draghi s pre-occupation with small scale effects & the word painting of individual textual elements that contrasts sharply with Handel s broadly structured conception of the poem. This book will appeal to amateur & professional musicians alike, as well as to readers interested in poetry & music of the 17th and 18th centuries. 76 pp. Englisch.

Four different approaches are used to examine multifarious Shakespearean resonances in Pinter s plays. Pinter s portrayal of Iago on stage may have been a contributing influence to some of the language games in Pinter s plays. Metadramatic attributes shared by Shakespeare and his character Iago are extended to Pinter and his character Robert in Betrayal.A Jungian reading of Hamlet is juxtaposed with Pinter s political plays, Ashes to Ashes and One for the Road, to examine how manipulators in these plays attempt to obliterate individual identities and reduce individuals to pawns by foisting national and paternal identities onto characters. Hamlet s and Rebecca s resistance to such threats are examined in terms of their endeavours to unite opposites in their quests for individuation. This study sheds light on the strong antithetical structures and open-endedness in Shakespeare s and Pinter s plays. 116 pp. Englisch.

Recently, the University was confronted with problems such as lack of water and electricity and financial resources. Confronting and solving problems is a painful process. However, greater pain and inability to remain open came to the forefront in 2008. This affected a lot of students psychologically. Drawing heavily on his own professional experience, Professor Fred Zindi, a practicing educational psychologist, suggests here ways in which issues such as gender equality, curriculum change, and mature student enrolment methods can enable the reader to reach a higher understanding of policies that are in place at the University of Zimbabwe. Issues affecting student enrolment at the University of Zimbabwe is a must-read for scholars, politicians and educationists. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the distinct approaches to the Byzantine legacy in Turkish historiography offered by three leading Turkish historians: Fuat Köprülü, Ömer Lütfi Barkan and Halil Inalcik, protagonists of three distinct eras of republican/nationalist Turkish historiography, as well as the most significant (in their historical scholarship and in their creation of master narratives) historians of the nation-state. An analysis of their contributions to the subject of the Byzantine legacy works to highlight the ways in which our defensive nationalist historiography has been imagined, as well as the role of our geographical and cultural ancestor within that imagination. This book analyzes the recognitions of this legacy--as well as the lack thereof--, while seeking to situate the different attitudes towards Byzantium within their real and ideological contexts. While all three historians remain prisoners of the nation-state, unable to free themselves from the narrow boundaries of its nationalist ideologies and agendas, the anti-nationalist liberation remains a challenge for all Turkish and non-Turkish historians working on the Ottoman Empire or modern Turkey to respond to even today. 100 pp. Englisch.

The assessment of autism often involves clinical observation, standardized testing, and use of behavior rating scales. Strong assessment skills and psychometrically valid assessment tools may help guide specific treatment recommendations and positively contribute to the treatment of students with autism by school psychologists. Treatment strategies are based upon accurate assessment, thus an examination of treatment recommendations and their consistency with standardized practice is critical. Oftentimes, the interventions are varied, and regrettably, are based on the frequently limited information that is available to the parents and the clinician. Public knowledge is critical to the provision of appropriate services for the autistic client. A survey was conducted on 1,000 school psychologists who are members of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) to determine the most well known evaluative tools and therapies in the field. 96 pp. Englisch.

The aim of this publication however is to explore the ways in which the three chimneypieces commissioned by Hastings during his trial, may relate to their context. This takes into consideration the accusations made against Hastings in his impeachment, and whether the highly innovative iconography of the chimneypieces may be seen as some form of response. The chimneypiece has been a much neglected area of study: as a form it became an important site for the expression of social status, wealth and ideologies of the eighteenth century and Warren Hastings' use of them may be seen to interact with his ideologies of Anglo-Indian relations; ideologies under challenge during the trial. 72 pp. Englisch.

An effective training for trainers program includes teaching and evaluating knowledge/skills in a core curriculum in conjunction with developing training skills. This study provided empirical and anecdotal evidence about a particular crisis intervention train-the-trainer program, Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), that enabled TCI to make a major shift of emphasis in the training from core curriculum knowledge and skills to training skills development. The study may provide a valuable model for others to use when assessing their training programs whether crisis intervention related or any other training for trainers program. 108 pp. Englisch.

By the time Henry James established himself as a writer of fiction, the culture of sentiment and its formation of sympathetic identification had become central to American and British writers. Critically, however, sympathy in James's fiction has been overlooked--even labeled nonexistent--because he chose to write about rich expatriates and European nobility. James's pervasive use of widowed characters suggests he too participated in the same aesthetic agenda as William Dean Howells and George Eliot: to evoke sympathy in their readers as a means of promoting class unity. Sympathetic Observations shows how James's uses of widowed characters places him in the same sympathetic tradition as Howells and Eliot not by eliciting sympathy for themselves, but, rather, by awakening a sympathetic response from his readers for his protagonists seeking, yet never quite achieving love. 88 pp. Englisch.

It is also important as part of a miniaturization trend, but more importantly because some people seek to use it for improving human performance and enhancing the human condition. Nanotechnology will have a tremendous impact considering its potentialities and the all-to-human desire for enhancement. For instance, nanotechnology based human applications on the border between therapy and enhancement such as human implants- might represent a treat to our current conception of what defines us as humans, namely our human nature. Therefore, a different approach on the distinction between therapy and enhancement is needed. The aim of this book is to suggest such a different approach. The analysis of these issues should help shed some light in our quest for finding a better and wiser way for handling nanotechnology based human applications, and should be especially useful for anyone who may be interested in technological change and its consequences for humanity. 80 pp. Englisch.
