Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Event detection, boundary detection, and faulty sensor detection are important research topics in wireless sensor networks. Finite power supplies and limited communication bandwidth within wireless sensor networks mean applications must use these resources efficiently. With that in mind, this book presents the concept of using minimal neighbor sensors in the detection process. This concept can be used when deploy sensors strategically in building sensor networks. Reliability of small sensors is questionable, especially when the sensors are deployed in harsh environments. This book will explore the ways to improve detection accuracy by incorporating sensor reliability explicitly in the fault-tolerant detection process. An adaptive detection system is also presented for event boundary detention. Finally, a hypothesis testing method is used for faulty sensor detection. 88 pp. Englisch.

Wildfires constitute one of the major problems facing the forest ecosystem in the world. In the last decades number of forest fires has been increased due to the increasing in the human activities and climate change. Fast alarm for forest fires is very crucial issue to prevent their spread. In this book we employed satellite images together with artificial neural networks to build a very fast alarm system for forest fire detection. The satellite NOAA-AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) images are used here. The TAGged Adaptive Resonance Theory ART-TAG Artificial Neural Network ANN is employed. ART-TAG is a supervised form for Compact Fuzzy ART. Burned Area Mapping System (BAMS) and Fire Detection System (FDS) have been built. Integrated Fire Evolution Monitoring System (IFEMS) has been constructed by integrating BAMS and FDS. IFEMS has the ability to distinguish burned area, area in active fire, and area beneath flames. Moreover, it has the ability to detect Fires that occur between two consecutive images and tracing sub pixel fires as well. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A landmark study of direct citizen participation and policy, it provides a rigorous theoretical, historical and methodological basis for a substantive evaluation of existing paradigms. The book provides, through meta-research analysis, a state-of-the-art assessment of North American citizen participation practices and research methods, as well as identifies the challenges and issues facing such participation. The book identifies a new voice in the present era of citizen engagement; that of the agenda-less citizen practitioner. It explores the role of the individual in a community whose life experiences and practical knowledge shape that individual s community level of participation. It also explores the relationship between citizens in a community and their representatives that bear on the nature of their participation. It presents an interface of the Aristotelian concept of phronesis and citizen participation by focusing on citizen praxis to harness and distribute local place knowledge. The book s conclusions challenge conventional political scientific thinking on the value, context and practicality of direct citizen engagement in the planning and implementation of social policy. 88 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This research examines the sources of funding and stimulating growth in emerging economies of Central and South Eastern Europe (CSEE). The results confirmed a combination of external and domestic factors being important for the growth in CSEE region in the past, with strong orientation towards domestic factors during the crisis. In addition, importance of the structural reforms and integration processes has been found, too. Panel estimation on the growth factors by groups of countries confirms the differences between Central European (CE) countries that are already EU members and SEE countries with lower level of convergence to EU. The continuation of the structural reforms, financing from abroad and continuous efforts towards EU integration improved the countries' ability to cope with the crisis consequences. The analysis on the future challenges points out the findings for limited synchronization of the economic cycle between the CSEE and the euro zone. The limitation of current policy mixture, rather limited domestic and foreign financing and the amplified need of policy nexus, will imply a need for redesigned growth model for the CSEE region. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is certainly true that the concept of information is one of the dominant ideas of the second half of the twentieth century. People from all walks of life are concerned with information processing. Many of the inventions of the current era deal with storage, transmission, transformation and retrieval of information. Information can be manifested however in various forms, for example orally, in writing, electronically, etc. From mathematical point of view, the essence of information is its quantity, and the basic problem is how to measure information quantity. Commonly it is done by introducing desirable properties for an information measure, then using those properties to determine explicit forms for information measures. While doing this we rely heavily upon the theory of functional equations. The book deals with the stability problem of some functional equations that appear in the characterization problem of information measures. 112 pp. Englisch.

Typically, postsecondary education relates to collegiate Black males from a deficit mindset, which often translates into providing remedial resources designed to improve college transition, retention, and persistence. However, the major themes emerging from this study call for an alternative approach for academic achievement, specifically, one that empowers collegiate Black males from the beginning of their postsecondary transition by engaging their inherent power, need, and desire to succeed by engaging their burden of hope. 140 pp. Englisch.

Surprisingly, only half of couples who are trying to become pregnant achieve pregnancy easily and about one in ten American couples of reproductive age are involuntary infertile; male infertility accounts for half of these cases. Despite the relative importance of infertility due to the male, infertility evaluations have traditionally focused on women, because women tend to seek gynecological care and because men often are reluctant to seek advice. 136 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book looks at how mother's education and race are important determinants of the size, pattern, and even the sign of the effect of young children on their mother's labor supply. Children less than three years old are one of the most important causes of interruptions and changes in women's labor supply. It extends over the USA over the last quarter of the 20th century, a period of time when the labor force participation of mothers with babies shows a higher growth rate than that of women with older children or without children. This study estimates different static labor supply models using the biggest annual survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census and analyzes the decision to work at the extensive and intensive margins as well as the distribution of hours of work. Although highly educated women have the highest labor force participation rate, and the highest number of worked hours when they have babies, they are the most affected by young children showing the greatest degree of flexibility to adjust the number of hours of work. The differences between black and white women are notorious both in the degree and sign of the response to the presence of babies and in the trend. 148 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Eupatorium adenophorum is considered to be a serious weed in agriculture, especially in rangelands where it often replaces either the more-desirable vegetation or native species, but also in forests. Grazing animals get accidentally exposed to the plant under scarcity conditions. It is generally unpalatable to grazing animals, but goats graze on this plant infrequently. It is fatally toxic to horses and causes the 'blowing disease' in Hawaii and 'Numinbah disease' or 'Tollebudgera horse disease' in Australia. Toxicopathological studies were taken up in Swiss albino mice, as a model and the effects of the plant extract on immunological parameters were recorded. The results of the present studies on humoral immune responses suggest that the highest dose of the plant extract might probably be having some immune-suppressant effects on the primary (IgM) and secondary (IgG) immune responses and also some immunosuppressant effects on cell-mediated immunity (CMI) of mice. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Benedictine Abbot Rupert of Deutz, perhaps the most prolific Biblical commentator of the twelfth century, wrote a commentary on the Canticle of Canticles which he called the De Incarnatione Domini . Rupert was the first ever to give an entirely Marian interpretation to the Song of Songs in which he identifies the bride of the Canticle with the Virgin Mary. Rupert applies to Mary the title of Magistra Apostolorum ( Teacher of the Apostles ). However, in Medieval Latin, the word Magistra could mean far more than a teacher. It could also refer to Mother , Queen . The usage of this title stems from an early Church tradition which held that after the Resurrection, having, from the cross, made her their Spiritual Mother, Jesus left his Mother on earth to be with the Apostles as their mother and teacher. All that Mary had stored up and pondered in the silence of her maternal heart during Jesus time on earth was later revealed after Pentecost when she began to explain to the Apostles all the mysteries concerning her divine Son that she had been pondering. This book will be of interest to students and all others interested in Scripture studies, Theology, Mariology and Medieval studies. 176 pp. Englisch.

It consists of three chapters addressing issues related to the behavior of the in-situ price, market price and the optimal extraction rate of nonrenewable natural resources. Exploiting the theoretical Hotelling model with technological progress and stock effect, the first chapter develops an empirical framework to estimate and evaluate the in-situ price of nonrenewable natural resources using average extraction cost data as proxy for marginal cost. The Second chapter estimates an empirical switching Hotelling model to test for linearity in their stock of the optimal extraction rates of nonrenewable natural resources. The last chapter takes a capital asset pricing approach to the determination of the price of a nonrenewable natural resource in the case where the resource is durable, in the sense that once extracted it becomes a productive asset held above ground. 128 pp. Englisch.

Yet definitions of leadership are as varied as an artist's palette of colors. Many who study leadership have included influence and progress toward a common goal as key ingredients. The challenges of leading in institutions of higher education are complex and unrelenting, which can result in times of crisis. Knowing how to navigate these dangerous waters, whether the crises originate from internal or external factors, and steering an institution to stability is not for the faint of heart. This work documents a leader at a small, Christian college who through his adaptive leadership style, ability to build trust through his integrity and relationships, and effectiveness in using times of crisis instituted positive change and innovation, led the college to a state of institutional stability. 192 pp. Englisch.

This work is devoted to the exploration of the interaction between p53 and Az. p53 is a valuable indicator of cancer cells and can be recognized by Az even enhancing its tumour suppressor activity. The analytical potential of plasmonics has been addressed in the attempt to overcome detection limits of Raman and Absorbance spectroscopies. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, also combined with AFM, provided an approach to improve the detection limit of the tumour marker p53 recognized by Az. This lays the foundations for the development of innovative experimental methods for an ultrasensitive, easy and rapid screening of many different molecules of environmental and biomedical relevance. Surface Plasmon Resonance technology allowed to accurately find binding kinetics features on Az-p53 recognition and its subsequent ability to interfere with p53-Mdm2 binding, the latter playing a key role in lowering the intracellular stability of p53. The work should be mainly useful to applied physicists, biochemists and biologists. 132 pp. Englisch.

Managers and employees described their lived experiences, actions, and beliefs in a qualitative phenomenological study through informal face-to-face interviews and open-ended standardized questions. Data was analyzed using a qualitative method to identify themes related to the research questions. Eleven themes emerged from the interviews conducted which were dissatisfaction, stress, low salaries, disrespect, economic/political conditions, managers with Theory X approach, lack of employee empowerment, extrinsic motivation, overconfident managers, task orientation, and change of mentality. The findings revealed that most of the managers were overconfident with their managerial performance and employees were not satisfied with their managers approaches. In addition, managers tendency towards task orientation made them more inclined to appreciate extrinsic motivators to achieve organizations objectives. 144 pp. Englisch.

Many trace this tendency back to Plato, and his ambiguous reliance on art as both a model for his own practice, as well as a threat to the harmonious functioning of the Republic. What has received less attention is the Kantian reversal of the Platonic dismissal of artists, and how it has generated a rich philosophical literature, of which the three pairs considered here are illuminating instances. These three are Friedrich Nietzsche's lifelong engagement with Richard Wagner, Martin Heidegger's assimilation of Friedrich Hölderlin's poetry within his philosophical thinking, and Theodor Adorno's analysis of Arnold Schönberg's music as exemplary for our understanding of contemporary society. In its first half, the book uncovers the weakness of approaching these relationships according to the romantic conception of artistic practice. In the second, it proposes a robust conception of exemplarity, which allows us to rethink the division between theory and practice and open up to new ways of integrating action and thought. 252 pp. Englisch.

Internationalisation of people names could prevent a person s name being lost in a system, avoiding frustration, saving time, and possibly money. This is a study that attempts to determine the extent to which the human name can be internationalised, based upon published anthroponymic data for 148 locales, by categorising them into eleven distinctly autonomous parts. It attempts to provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of internationalising people names; examining the challenges of terminology conflicts, the impact of subjectivity whilst pigeonholing personyms, and the consequences of decisions made. The cultural variety of human names can be expressed with the Locale Data Mark-up Language for 74% of the world s countries. Spanning 1,919 anthroponymic syntactic structures, software developers, localisation engineers, and database administrators can benefit, through recognition of this problem, and understanding the potential gains from accurately handling people names within a system. 236 pp. Englisch.

Recently, the perovskite-like rare-earth manganese compounds have been an intensive topic in scientific studies and potential technological application because of their charge and orbital ordering, magnetic phase transitions, colossal magnetoresistance CMR effect as well as magnetocaloric effect MCE. Potential applications of the CMR effect in mixed-valence manganites include magnetic sensors; magnetoresistive read heads; and magnetoresistive random access memory. Manganites play an important role as electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells and they may also be used for catalysis and in oxygen sensors as well as hydrogen storage. MCE effect has been applied widely for magnetic refrigeration technology. Perovskites with excellent dielectric properties at the microwave frequency have been used as dielectric resonators in wireless communication system. Nanoparticles materials can offer unprecedented interactions with biomolecules both on the surface and inside the cells, which may revolutionize cancer diagnosis and treatment. 224 pp. Englisch.

A system of fixed cash tenancy must replace the present system of share cropping i.e. 25.0 per cent of the harvested grain is payable as rent by the tenants to the temple. Because of the present system gives room for declaring lower yield or even total crop failure even in years of good crops. Temple staff are not able to know the actual yield of the crops. Temple can agree to help the tenants for making necessary and beneficial investments either from its own funds or by helping tenants borrow for the purpose of to be making an irrigation facility. Tenants must agree to pay the rent and amount of loan payable regularly. Failure to pay in full the rent, loan or both for more than three years must be made a 120 pp. Englisch.

The book is the culmination of research conducted on motivation, self-regulation and reasoning. The aim is to better understand how these three factors interact to impact learning and academic achievement. The resulting research is applicable to all learners, however it is intended to provide insight into how to best address the academic underachievement of under-represented populations, such as minority males. The final chapters of the book provide results suggesting that significant relationships exists between reasoning, motivation, and self-regulation, which warrant additional research on their interrelationships and resulting impact on academic achievement. In particular, another type of reasoning, critical reasoning, will likely have a greater impact on linking present and future regulatory systems. 96 pp. Englisch.
