They need early mobilization in postoperative period. That s why they need efficient postoperative analgesia. The systemic postoperative analgesia is most common used. In most of cases this kind of analgesia is insufficient. Peripheral nerve blocks are most efficient and surgically depending most specific option for postoperative analgesia.The aim of this study was to compare the effect of continuous 3 - in - 1 versus single fascia iliaca compartment block, as a postoperative analgesia, and to compare the method with the systemic analgesia in elderly patients with hip fracture. Ninety patients with hip fracture older than 65 years were included and were randomly assigned to three groups per 30 patients, depending of type of postoperative analgesia. In all patients pain intensity was measured in rest and passive leg movement. The amount of supplemental analgesia was measured, and also the time when the patient needed it for the first time. Sensory and motor block were registered in 3 - in - 1 and FIC groups as well as subjective patient s impression for quality of analgesia and the side effects. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Complex root isolation of univariate Gaussian integer polynomial A(z) can be done by reducing the problem to find an algorithm to determine the number of roots of A(z) in any given closed rectangle R in the complex plane. If there are no zeros of A(z) on the boundary of R, then the number of roots in R can be obtained by using the argument principle. However, the argument principle fails when there is a root on the boundary of R. In this book a mathematical proof is given to solve the problem although there are roots on the boundary. We have also presented an algorithm based on the above result that isolate all complex zeros of A. Furthermore we have shown that the time complexity of the algorithm has a good upper bound. Finally, the algorithm is implemented in SacLib2.1 and we have provided empirical evidence that our algorithm is efficient in practice. 64 pp. Englisch.

Ineffective leadership may lead to a breakdown in the social welfare of a society. Officers are provided with broad powers of discretion that have a significant effect on a community, and the lack of strong leadership, appropriate influence, and ethical work patterns have been shown to lead to abuses of power and abuses of force. In addition, leaders responsibilities are to motivate their followers in an effort to ensure a consistent and exceptional work product. To effectively manage their personnel, leaders ought to be familiar with the drives of their followers whom they lead. This purpose of this ex post facto study was to investigate the achievement motivations of patrol officers and police detectives. The result of this study assists both educational and law enforcement leaders with basic knowledge of motivational competencies, specifically the need for achievement. This study also contributes to the limited research on this policing behavior. 76 pp. Englisch.

Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, receives the relish of simple pleasure, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human nature, by vivid delineations of its tenderize and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life. Poetry is quite different from prose. It can be said that prose is words in their best order , and poetry is the best words in their best order. It is obvious that poetry is a more powerful form of expression than prose. Poetry feeds and waters the desires and passions instead of drying them up. 80 pp. Englisch.

The fine crunchy textured nuts, their delicate aroma and taste are considered the best nuts of the world with high trading value. The prospects and potential of the macadamia cultivation depend on the successful growth of plants and thereby quality of nuts. In order to satisfy them, an insight into factors limiting the potential must be obtained so that corrective measures could be undertaken. This review focuses on various aspects of cultivation to develop a guide to macadamia growers in order to promote a lucrative cash crop in other potential areas of the world. The purpose of this review is to provide useful information on macadamia production for small scale growers where they lack a guide to cultivate macadamias. Most of the information provided here may not be suited to all growers with regards to a specific location. However, it is hoped that macadamia growers will now be able to acquire an improved understanding of the location, cultivar, plant and soil nutrition, management, and environmental factors and their effect on growth and yield with tentative solutions to use as a cultivation guide. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gröbner bases are the single most important tool in applicable algebraic geometry. This is in part because they can be used to solve systems of polynomial equations. Applications in science and technology are abundant, particularly in cryptography and coding theory. Gröbner bases computation is challenging and a great deal of effort has been devoted to improve algorithms to compute faster larger bases. The concept of mutant polynomials, introduced by Ding in 2006, characterizes a phenomenon of degeneration in the process of Gröbner bases computation. Exploiting the appearance of mutant polynomials has led to significant improvements in Gröbner bases Computation. In this work we describe several such improvements and we establish some theoretical results for mutant polynomials. We also propose LASyz, a method to avoid redundant computation in Gröbner bases computation that is compatible with mutant algorithms. This is achieved by simple linear algebra procedures used to compute generators for the module of syzygies. Overall, this book provides an introduction to the state-of-the-art in Gröbner bases computation together with the first steps towards a theory of mutant polynomials. 108 pp. Englisch.

The study is based on both primary and secondary data. The primary data pertaining to the agricultural year 2005-06 were collected from 30 jaggery processing units each from Karveer, Phaltan and Daund tahsils of Kolhapur, Satara and Pune districts, respectively. The factors influencing the net price received by the jaggery producers were assessed with the help of multiple regression analysis. The simple linear equation and simple average methods were used to study the trends and seasonal indices in arrivals and prices of jaggery in the selected markets. Study point out that India has enormous potential for production and exports of jaggery, but export markets for jaggery are not stable. Therefore study suggest the proper steps to popularize the jaggery and jaggery based products in the international market by branding the product and increasing the awareness of various uses of jaggery and its benefits to the potential consumers. 124 pp. Englisch.

Hence, the role played by Classroom Interactional Feedback (CIF) in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has been the focus of concern to teachers and researchers. However, existing research results are inconsistent: many lack statistical analysis and focused only on immediate learning: only a few researchers have employed action research and classroom observation for data collection despite their significance for research on language acquisition: no research refers to CIF observed in South Asian contexts, especially in Sri Lankan language contexts. This action research, conducted in Sri Lanka, employed a two-fold design to collect data - audio and video recordings of classroom sessions transcribed verbatim and scores of pre and post tests. It concludes by creating clines of CIFs to be promoted in SLA contexts, particularly at University level. For anyone engaged in learning/teaching a second language or in scientific research on psycholinguistics and SLA, this book is worth reading as its content is remarkable. 208 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the drama of Brian Friel the theme of the alienated self represents a recurrent, central theme that this book attempts to investigate. The line of argument in this work is that the Frielian Characters alienation results from their failure to satisfy their human needs, such as the need for love and the need for belongingness, in a gratifying way that conforms to their human nature. Against this premise three of Friel s dramas Philadelphia, Here I Come (1964), The Freedom of the City (1973), and Translations (1980) are analyzed to explore the distinctive way in which the playwright has dramatized the theme of the alienated self on three major levels familial, political, and cultural which the three plays represent respectively, and how alienation on these three levels is considered the natural outcome of the characters failure to satisfy their human needs in the course of their involvement in and reaction to the social, political, and cultural forces around them. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although more famous for his vocal songs, French composer Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) contributed immensely to keyboard literature. Unfortunately, his works for solo piano are rarely studied and/or performed by pianists today. One of the most neglected piano works of Francis Poulenc is the set of eight pieces titled Huit Nocturnes pour piano. Recent research showed that there are very few scholarly studies found about Poulenc and no studies focused on his Nocturnes were found. The objectives of this study are to provide a performance guide for pianists who are exploring Poulenc s piano works, specifically directed at, but not limited to Nocturnes and to promote awareness of Poulenc s piano works. In order to achieve these objectives, the Nocturnes will be explored historically and musically. This study starts with an introductory chapter that describes the issues, purpose, and methodology of this study. The second chapter consists of a brief biography of Francis Poulenc and historical background on Nocturnes. The third chapter has eight subchapters, in which performance related issues are discussed in detail. A brief concluding chapter will complete this study. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The majority of contemporary mainstream object-oriented (OO) software is written using statically-typed class-based OO programming languages (PLs) such as Java, C sharp, C++, Scala and others. Existing denotational models of OOP miss crucial features of these mainstream OO programming languages, such as nominality. This book presents the construction of NOOP as the first domain-theoretic model of OOP to include nominal information found in nominally-typed mainstream OO software. Inclusion of nominal information and asserting that type inheritance in statically-typed OO programming languages is an inherently nominal notion allow readily proving that inheritance and subtyping are completely identified in these languages. This conclusion is in full agreement with intuitions of OO developers using these languages, and contrary to the belief among PL researchers that inheritance is not subtyping , which came from developing structural non-nominal models of OOP. NOOP thus provides a firmer semantic foundation for analyzing and progressing nominally-typed mainstream OO programming languages. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Contemporary studies of the phenomenon of attention uncritically suppose that the only way to go about observing attention is as a modification of consciousness. Consciousness is taken to be always intentional, i.e., distinguished by reference to an object whether physical or not toward which it is directed. Observers of attention therefore assume that attention is an intentional modification of consciousness. Such practices of observation, in virtue of the kinds of practices that they are, take for granted that the fundamental constituents of reality are subjects and objects. Husserl and Heidegger (and Merleau-Ponty after them) discovered that belief in the world as divided into subjects and objects is merely a convenience designed for the purpose of making a certain kind of sense of experience intelligible a belief that operates as a controlling assumption which forces the world, if it is to be intelligible, to show up under the oppressively confined ontology that was originally introduced merely as an observational convenience. 180 pp. Englisch.

Using an optimal spatial control framework and an agent-based simulation model, we apply this analysis to the case of pasture-based beef (PBB) in West Virginia. Both an intertemporal component and a spatial component are involved since clustering systems are enhanced when key players are interconnected over space. This is accomplished by using an optimal spatial control framework as the basis of a NetLogo agent-based model (ABM). This model is intended to provide a foundation for developing agglomeration economies in which other locations are able to supply resources to given locations - or to serve as input markets - by taking advantage of the spatially integrated nature of the agriculture industry. The spatial component provides the basis for regional economic development through clustering among the agricultural and other sectors sharing locally produced inputs/outputs in the supply chain. 164 pp. Englisch.

The aim of this study is to develop mucoadhesive system that can deliver the drug in the buccal cavity in effective concentration for prophylaxis and or treatment of oral mucositis. For this purpose hydrogel of L-glutamine with different polymer is prepared. It is crucial that the carrier gel matrix preserve physical and mechanical integrity. Mechanical stability of the gel is, therefore, a significant consideration when scheming a therapeutic system. The main benefit of hydrogel formulation is that it hold dose, which is adequate for therapeutic effect as it is positioned directly on the site of mucositis. Moreover this hydrogel is very tolerable and comfy because it is non-irritant and may be chosen over other adhesive dosage form in terms of flexibility, capability and protective to wounded or inflamed surfaces. 140 pp. Englisch.

Molecular characterization through RAPD and SSR markers specific for drought stress in 22 wheat genotypes displayed two major clusters viz. Triticum aestivum L. and T. durum L. which was further divided into irrigated and rainfed. Principle component analysis was consistent with dendrograms. All the markers displayed PIC value greater than 0.5 showing its usefulness in detecting differences within the genotypes. Artificial stress induced by polyethylene glycol for biochemical and physiological characterization showed significant differences among the genotypes and drought levels which correlated with the molecular characterization. The proline content was increased during stress with the induction of stress specific proteins as revealed by SDS-PAGE. The tolerance of wheat genotypes to drought stress was assessed based on molecular markers, physiological observations and biochemical analysis. 124 pp. Englisch.

The two movements of the work, named Part I and Part II are both composed using these ideas, but the manner in which they are presented and applied is distinctive for each movement. Some of the development processes used in the piece are related to Gregor Johann Mendel's genetic inheritance model, that resulted from experimental hybridization in plants. Using this model as a reference, a compositional process is used to develop horizontal pitch distribution using pitch class sets, along with aspects of the rhythm and form. Stylistically, Pangenesis incorporates both Western and Eastern 20th century musical traditions and philosophies, which are meant to affect the audience s perception of time through static and active musical discourse. 124 pp. Englisch.

Findings suggest increases of 16 percent in prices received by farmers for their crops, a 23.7 percent reduction in agricultural costs, and reductions in child market and agricultural work of 13.7 and 9.2 percentage points respectively. In Chapter 2, we exploit a randomized intervention directed towards enhancing local governments efficiency in three regions of rural Russia (Adyghea, Penza and Perm) at the onset of a major decentralization reform. Our findings suggest that enhancing local managerial efficiency is a long-term process and that intensive interventions translate into higher satisfaction when local governments have relatively longer institutional experience and higher levels of accountability. In Chapter 3, we investigate the effects of cell phone coverage on several measures of economic development in rural Peru. Estimates suggest an increase of 7.5 percent in yearly household expenditures after coverage, and a 13.5 percent increase in the value of assets. 148 pp. Englisch.

The recording industry s resistance to Internet-based technologies, such as peer-to-peer networks, demonstrates an ongoing, decades-old tension between new technologies and copyright law. For every victory the recording industry secures in copyright law, another technology challenging its control over copyrighted works is just around the corner. Based on extensive historical and legal research including case law, legislative histories, and in-depth interviews, this author argues that the solution to easing the tension between new technologies and preserving the economic vitality of industries that rely on intellectual property is for copyright owners to embrace innovations and modify existing business models a lesson the recording industry has yet to learn. 444 pp. Englisch.

The objective can be for the public sector to identify and engage the key private parties to align their interests under a new set of parameters that will still serve their objectives but also support the community.The model of this scenario, within the Inland Southern California region, is implemented to address the housing crisis and will be referenced as a case study. A neighborhood block model demonstration is facilitated and documented in this doctoral dissertation. The premise of this demonstration is for the PPPB to transform an abandoned property and then for existing public programs to be coordinated in an effort to revitalize the surrounding occupied homes in the neighborhood block. The comprehensive impact of this model has an impact on property values, energy efficient savings on utility bills and increase overall civic engagement within the community.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Emotional prosody processing impairment contributes to auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) formation. This assumption is tested by five studies in healthy, schizotypal and schizophrenia populations. Firstly, the neural underpinnings of emotional prosody processing (EP) in controls, and the modulation of prosodic abilities by hallucination traits are revealed. A neural overlap between EP and AVH is suggested. A schizophrenia spectrum continuum by which high schizotypal population and schizophrenia patients present similar EP difficulties was established. Secondly, two EP related skills in schizophrenia with and without AVH were assessed. Voice identity recognition and implicit processing of EP evaluation revealed that difficulties in both skills are exclusively related to hallucinations. These findings strongly suggest that the perception of prosodic features is impaired in AVH patients, resulting in aberrant perception of irrelevant auditory objects with emotional prosody salience capturing the hearer s attention and which sources (speaker identity) cannot be recognized. Such impairments may be due to abnormalities in a brain network comprising the superior temporal gyrus. 192 pp. Englisch.

Sulphur (S), the fourth major plant nutrient, helps in protein production and chlorophyll formation. The yield and quality of crops is declining over time despite adequate supply of major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) that might be due to deficiency of other nutrients including sulphur. Therefore, for assessment of direct and residual effect of S on wheat-rice and wheat-soybean cropping sequences, field experiments were conducted on two farmer's fields deficient in S in Tarai soils of Mollisols. The different parameters like crop yield, agronomic efficiency, apparent sulphur recovery and percent response, forms (total S, organic S, potassium di-hydrogen phosphate extractable S, sulphate S and non-sulphate S) and depth wise distribution of sulphur in soil and sulphur balance were assessed. Besides, how the sulphur affects the carbon, nitrogen and sulphur ratio (C: N: S) and the soil properties affecting the different forms of sulphur in soils of low, medium and high in sulphur content were also studied. 180 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book describes detailed study on ultrashort pulse generation from micron-scale diode laser devices. Both edge-emitting lasers and surface-emitting lasers are investigated. The generated laser pulses have variable spectral linewidth, wide wavelength tuning range, tailorable pulse shape, as well as high peak power and average power. The methods used for high power ultrashort pulse generation include gain-switching, Q-switching, and mode-locking. Pulse quality is controlled by using special techniques, e.g. external cavity feedback & filtering, injection seeding, and fibre Bragg grating filtering. 156 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The statement of the problem is to develop an environmental friendly, cost effective cathode material with the technical requirements to withstand the energy demand of directly storing electricity for the uses in today society. The author solved the problem by designing a water soluble, thermally stable organic moiety that is used as fuel and a template in the low temperature solution combustion synthesis of cathode materials utilized in lithium-ion energy storage devices. The Green Soft Chemical method (MADHAMS) is a useful alternative solution-combustion method for the synthesis of highly pure, fine-sized, spherical & cubic cathode powders. With the global demand pushing industrial applications toward green chemistry, we developed this technique with environmental friendly solvents. This MADHAMS method would fall within the Self-Propagation Combustion Synthesis (SPCS) family. SPCS is a family of methods that utilize metal nitrates as conventional oxidants and organic compounds as fuels. As the nitrate decomposes and the fuel is oxidized, energy is released into the local system as heat energy. 172 pp. Englisch.
