Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this monograph, we have attempted to represent the genesis of mortality images in poems by A.S. Pushkin, S.A. Yesenin, K.D. Balmont and I.A. Bunin. The analysis included the most popular and known works by these authors. The folklore-based comments enabled unveiling the complexity, diversity of mortality images, which embrace the idea of death as the cosmic rebirth in a new quality that is very close to the folklife culture. The figures of 'Thanatos' are in the same paradigm with figures of 'Eros', which allows talking about the motive of death that is cosmic rebirth, ascension.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Built heritage has become an important source of revenue for local councils and governments. Visiting people are avid for detailed historical information including construction details, characteristics and potential structures under the monuments. Furthermore, this knowledge is paramount in restoration and preservation projects. Unfortunately, such information is often scarce or difficult to find in written documents but it can be obtained from the use of Geophysical Exploration methods. This work presents a study carried out in a 14th century Monastery to investigate the nature of the ground beneath it and the structure of its most important architectural elements. A team of geophysicists and a specialist in History gathered efforts to apply a high-resolution geophysical survey, including 3D resistivity, 3D ground probing radar, seismic tomography methods supported by high-resolution photogrammetry scanning techniques in the investigation of the above matters. As demonstrated, the techniques and methods herein discussed and developed provided excellent results and can be easily adapted and to use in other monuments or in contemporary buildings where similar problems can be found.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -More than 25 years ago I found the inert material, silicon, for my therapy exercise. In my voice therapy I used with all patients the palpable inert tube, that was named LAX VOX. Thanks to the multi-sensory feed-back they quickly understood and felt relief. They eagerly started the daily training and did not wish long therapy. Basing on the patient's remarks I composed explanations in colloquial language and illustrations. - The oral pressure rises due to the water, and prevents excessive laryngeal tensions and improves the control of breathing. The conscious motor model serves as the bridge to habitual ergonomic speech. - I wanted to test this exercise truly, asking the patients¿ own opinions. The efficacy of the LAX VOX®-tube aided short voice therapy, 3-5 sessions, was tested five times during one year from two points of view, the Voice Activation and Participation Profiles, and the severity of dysphonic symptoms. The results show statistically significant improvements.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents empirical evidence on the significance of the role of the Nigerian state in collective conciliation. It reveals how the attitude of the state is perceived by trade unions and management during employment relations particularly; its disposition towards the review of regulations and its enforcement as well as its impact on the process and outcomes of collective conciliation. One of the major findings of this research is that the elitist and conservative attitude of the Nigerian state can be attributed to failure to review its obsolete labour laws. This gives trade unions and management the impression that the attitude of the state towards labour and management relations has had a negative effect on the promotion of good industrial relations and sustenance of the nation¿s economy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The new physics revolution concerns the physics of life that explains why living systems are self-organizing, self-evolving, intelligently designed and purposeful It is about the life-organizing principle which generates bio-intelligence, unifies ontogeny and phylogeny, bridges the gap between ordinary physics and biology, and admits limiting transition to linear reversible quantum mechanics. To accomplish these results Elsheikh adopted and substantiated the views of prestigious scientists, e.g., Schrödinger, Bohr, Elsasser, Barbara McClintock and James Shapiro. Thus the new physics of life substantiates the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Natural Genetic Engineering by revealing the mechanism and natural forces underpinning their basic assumptions, i.e., reciprocal causation and organism centered perspective.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Copper has one third the resistivity of Aluminum and can be electrodeposited easily. Hence, Copper can be used for chip wiring. This Nanofablicaton technology is used to electrodeposit Copper into the fine cavities or vias of diameters less than 0.1¿m, and lengths 1/1000 of the diameter of human hair. Since then the Copper Damascene on chip semiconductor wiring process has spread out to semiconductor industries all over the world and branched into four major industrial applications: Damascene, through silicon via, interstitial via hole build-up printed wiring boards and Copper foil that is smooth on both sides.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is about an atheist's eternity. This eternity is a welcome change from the doom and gloom of nonreligious existentialism and broken bits of eternity. The question is also answered of why atheists or nonreligious existentialists should be moral; the answer blends with religious existentialism and theism. And then the riddle of induction is solved, which is significant because science has never answered its refutation by David Hume. A fresh look is taken at the problem of evil (if Deity is omnipotent and benevolent, then when cometh evil) which presents theology with an unsolvable problem. Then through a conversation with an 'evangelist,' a unique view of traditional arguments for the existence of God is presented. And finally, an atheist, nonreligious existentialist, approaches the divine through unconventional means.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Since intangible assets determine the company's growth potential and generate the largest part of the increased value, investments in intangible assets represent the basic indicator of the vitality of the company and a key indicator of its competitiveness. The ratio of the market and accounting value of the company represents a good measure of the representation of intangible assets. A high proportion between the market value and the carrying amount of the company points to the great expectations of the effects in the future that should generate the potential of intangible assets and the present value of cash flows on that basis. Montenegro, as a candidate for EU membership, must also change its attitude towards valuation, management and accounting of intangible assets.This article is intended for a wide audience and interested parties, as mentioned in scientific research institutions, marketing companies, manufacturing industry, engineering profession, economics, information technology, and global social networks as an example of the development of tobacco industry in Montenegro.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -People make many choices and some maybe looking nicer than they are in reality; consequences may not be what they were intended when everything got started. The theory of comparative advantages elaborated by David Riccardo, now 200 years old postulates the advantages of free trade. However according to a piece of sometimes ignored economic theory (i.e.: the Stolper-Samuelson theorem,1941) this may not be always the truth, especially if actors of the trade flows are not equal. This book is about the competition between non-equals in a an area of unprecedented economic integration (i.e.: the European Union) and some of its unintended consequences, especially for the minor actors represented by the economies of Central and Eastern Europe. The author argues that unless something is done to revert the course of persistent internal devaluation policies in the core area of the Union then, these smaller economies are condemned to a position of periphery which will bled them dry of their most precious resource: skilled labor!Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Waste production in urban areas is increasing every day due to the burgeoning population resulting from rural urban migration making it costly for urban authorities to manage. In an effort to control waste, urban authorities have recently introduced IEC campaigns on waste management behavior focusing on separation, re-use, reduction and recycling among urban residents; however, cities are still littered in residential areas posing great danger to the inhabitants. This book explains waste management behaviors and how different media can be used to influence urban residents to adapt the practices. Furthermore, the book shows how information, education and communication campaigns can influence urban residents¿ behavior towards waste management. On the impact of IEC campaigns; the book illustrates how campaigns cannot solely influence people to adapt waste management behaviors without the support of family and friends. Finally, the book recommends regular campaigns on waste management to increase awareness and evaluation of each campaign for each campaign for new lessons.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work is an exploration on activities of Nepali owner-managers based on theoretical conceptualization proposed by Mintzberg (1973). Six participants were selected using judgmental convenience sampling. Main data collection tool was in depth interview. Data were collected for both grounded theory approach and in reference of managerial roles prescribed as per Mintzberg. Findings of grounded theory approach reveal that major activities of Nepali owner-manager are learning and upgrading, operations, financial controls, entrepreneurial activities, sales and networking. Comparison of roles of Nepali owner manager with managerial roles as per Mintzberg reveals that not all roles prescribed by Mintzberg are performed by Nepali owner-managers, and Nepali owner managers do also perform some roles not prescribed by Mintzberg. The findings of this work will be useful to trainer and academicians to develop curriculum and training program that produces confident owner-managers who are likely to succeed in their role of owner-managers. This work will also give a foundation for future academic researches in filed of managerial activities of owner-managers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The paper defines the concept of biomass, separating it into herbaceous and woody biomass. The similarity and differences between these types of biomass were evaluated, particularly in the case of traditional incineration in heating or energy boilers. The theoretical aspects of the biomass combustion process are discussed, taking into account the specificity of this type of fuel. Attention has been paid to the particular role of alkaline elements and their emergence in biomass combustion, particularly in the power industry. The most important energy characteristics of biomass were collected from the point of view of its energetic use. The practical implementation of laboratory analyzes of biomass energy properties as fuel is presented. The work assesses the current status and potential future use of biomass as an ecological source of energy. Attention was paid to the impact of biomass incineration on the emission of pollutants into the environment, the amounts of which have been attributed to their contents in a traditional, conventional source of energy such as hard coal. This shows the energy efficiency and its specificity when using biomass as a source of energy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

It assists in developing efficient defense personnel considering the local resources and limitations of procured technology. The insights from this book provide significant scope to adopt certain modifications in local manpower selection to suit the procured machine from developed world due to ethnic differences in anthropometry influenced by various lifestyle factors. This book will allow a better understanding of technicalities faced during the utilization of the western countries aircraft in the eastern region.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The main purpose of this book is to present a generalization of the Cantor-Dedekind Continuum (the usual real number system) developed from two key concepts: indiscernibility (as a binary relation different from identity) and actual infinitesimal (i.e. infinitesimal considered as a number on equal footing with the other elements of the continuum). The first concept is absent from the Cantor-Dedekind Continuum and the sole actual infinitesimal of this continuum is zero. And yet indiscernibility is an exigence of our intuition of the smooth connection between the constituent parts of the linear continuum when this continuum is considered locally, and physicists and engineers refuse to deprive themselves of the immense heuristic and conceptual advantages of using non-null actual infinitesimals. It is hoped that this book contributes to the disappearance of an error: the widespread belief in the impossible coexistence of non-null actual infinitesimals and Classical (I mean: Usual) Differential Calculus. One simply must think in two modes: the potential mode (in the old continuum) and the actual mode (in the generalization, where no definition of limit is given).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Osteosarcoma is a primary, malignant, bone tumor that occurs in young, growing patients. The most frequently affected parts are the distal femur and proximal tibia. With rising survival rates following chemotherapy, limb salvage surgeries are becoming the standard operational methods for the majority of these patients. This is a challenging situation for surgeons treating patients following epiphysis resection and limb reconstruction with the most suitable procedure in order for the least length discrepancy compared with the ongoing growth of the contralateral limb. In this book, the authors gave a detailed description of some biological constructions, such as physeal distraction, trans-epiphyseal/ metaphyseal section with autologous or allograft replacement in the management of osteosarcoma in growing young patients. The discussion of surgical indications, clinical results of knee joint function, complications of limb discrepancy, delayed union, infection, recurrence and survival rate was also reported.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.
