Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Bee venom is a natural substance produced by worker bees. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of Anatolian bee venom by evaluating its chemical content and microbiological properties. Physical, chemical and microbiological analyses were performed on 25 bee venom samples from different areas of Anatolia, Turkey. Data obtained by 3-replicate studies were evaluated with normality and one-way and two-way ANOVA / Tukey tests. Chemical analyses of the bee venoms revealed average melittin, apamin, and phospholipase A2 contents of 40.57%, 2.12% and 13.67%, respectively. The results suggest that Anatolian bee venom has a high phospholipase A2 content compared to the previous literature. The results for apamin content were similar to those reported in other countries. Melittin content was within the range of standard values. Total aerobic mesophilic bacteria counts revealed no microbial development in 11 samples of bee venom. Staphylococcus aureus was not detected in any sample. A low microbial load was associated with a high phospholipase A2 contontent in the bee venom composition, thus contributing to its antimicrobial character.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Transport and delivery systems have seen dramatic changes over the last 20 years. The expansion of online selling/buying since 2000 has intensified competition among delivery companies. The progress in mobile and Internet technologies has prompted retailers operating bricks-and-mortar (BM) stores to adopt a sales strategy that combines in-store selling with online marketing, known as ¿omnichannel retailing.¿ The growth in online shopping is aggravating the problem of redeliveries that occur when parcel recipients are absent at the time of initial delivery. Recently, the problem of a shortage of transport and delivery workers has also been getting worse.This book introduces transport and delivery systems that can be effective for adapting to the above-mentioned changes. The authors hope that the content of this book will be helpful for those who are engaged in research and development of future transport and delivery systems.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Throughout the world, nearly 150.000 persons are infected with hantaviruses each year. Hantaviruses are divided into two groups based on their human pathogenicity: Old World hantaviruses causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and New World hantaviruses causing hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). HFRS is an acute disease characterised by vascular bleeding and kidney damage, and, in most cases, it is not lethal. Mild forms of HFRS are usually caused by Puumala virus (PUUV), while the most severe forms of HFRS in Europe are caused by Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV). Therefore, sensitive and specific molecular detection is essential for the timely diagnosis of hantavirus infections. In a typical laboratory context, we present the creation of nested, degenerate primers for detection of S and M segment of DOBV and M segment of PUUV, optimisation of various PCR components and cycling parameters, using both external and internal primers. As a result, this book provides a resource for anyone interested in conducting similar experiments and procedures.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book studies the investigation of strength properties of bituminous mixes with different types of aggregates, viz, granite, marble, and locally available stone. The granite and marble aggregates were used in partial replacement of locally available stone aggregates, and laboratory tests were conducted to know various parameters like strength, durability, moisture susceptibility, etc. Marshall test was conducted to evaluate the volumetric parameters, which indicated that the stability value of the mix. Mixes having granite as fine aggregates and fillers show higher stability value, making a stronger mix. When granite is used as fine aggregates, the stability value increased by 18.6 % compared to stone aggregates and 22.4 % compared to marble aggregates. Also, when granite is used as both fine aggregates and filler, the stability value increased by 35.3 % compared to stone aggregates and 38.4 % compared to marble aggregates. The compressive strength for mixes with granite aggregates was found to be maximum in comparision to marble and local aggregate mixes. Hence, marble and granite are justified to be used as a material for road construction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In recent years, with the appearance of multimedia practices, traditional print and broadcast media as main promotional tools have faced major challenges, as many newspapers and television channels have suffered audience reduction. Overwhelmingly, the majority of marketers, both business and political, have started to use some form of multimedia tricks for promotional purposes. The overall purpose of this research is to find out the contribution of multimedia in business promotion, characterize the similarities and differences of the use of multimedia practices as promotional tool by business companies. This research is exploratory in nature and the data collected is qualitative. In order to conduct this research, we have interviewed two business companies of telecommunication field in Rwanda, notably MTN and AIRTEL. Taking into account the new communication paradigm, we asked questions about how they use each element of the promotional mix in multimedia practices. The findings showed that the use of multimedia for promotional purposes was rather similar between both companies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Mauritia flexuosa (aguaje) is a dioecious indigenous species from the family Arecaceae, important for local people and also for the Amazon rainforest as a whole. However, an unsustainable way of fruit collecting leads to the loss of diversity at all levels. The main objective of this research was to assess the intra-population and inter-population genetic diversity of M. flexuosa in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Amazon by SSR markers. The sampled populations were characterized by high values of genetic diversity and very low levels of inbreeding. They did not reflect the existence of any clear stratification, which can be explained by long-term human activity in the Amazon and its contribution to the higher genetic diversity of M. flexuosa. Also, the gene flow could be affected by rivers. Any interference in the culmination of the rivers could irreversibly break long-lasting linkages and could easily result in an immediate decline in genetic diversity.The study was conducted under the supervision of doc.Ing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -After briefly introducing aspects concerning Mobile Augmented Reality Systems, this book delves into the evolution of these systems as pervasive technology. The work also debates on acceptance of this technology in the context of outdoor applications. The need to develop context-aware, close-to-real-time feedback mechanisms that take into account a continuous measurement of the Quality of Experience, is also discussed. For this purpose, the work goes over how to integrate user preferences into context-aware feedback systems, proposing a theoretical model for measuring Quality of Experience. The model is derived from an analysis of previous technology adoption models and incorporates the knowledge of user preferences. It also describes a prototype proposal for outdoor sports environments. It relies on heuristics that combine user preference indicators of technology adoption, sensing criteria, and volume of information criteria to provide real-time adaptation of the display without information overload, resulting in a better Quality of Experience. Experiments show the performance evaluation for technology adoption in outdoor sports environments, with real-time adaptation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Tree biomass is one of the main energy sources widely used in Ethiopia in the form of fuel wood and charcoal. In addition to naturally existing forests/vegetation, establishment of plantation forest has been promoted for long to provide sustainable biomass energy sources. The existing forest policy and strategy and the revised forest proclamation of the 2018 ensures the sustainable development, conservation and utilization of forests fostering to maximize its economic, social and environmental contribution. Hence, the Environment, Forest and Climate Change Commission (EFCCC) is working on increasing the area coverage of plantation forests to enhance the supply of forest products, including for biomass energy supply. According to the recent estimation of forest resource mapping and regional reports, there is nearly one million hectare of plantation forest and the majority of these plantations are found in Amhara national regional state. These plantations are owned by small holder farmers as wood lots, community and state forests mainly administered by Amhara forest enterprise. Therefore, Amahara regional state has a huge potential for establishing commercial plantations for the supply of industrial and non-industrial forest products. Eucalyptus is the dominant plantation species in the region and largely established by small holders as wood lots and community providing forest products that are widely used locally and exported to Sudan¿s market for construction material.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work is motivated by an important problem in society: the gender wage gap, and theclaim that competitiveness is an explaining factor. An extensive literature review is provided and as a result, a laboratory experiment is proposed and planned to represent a labour market setting with workers and employers. The main goal is to observe whether competitiveness is a valuable attribute and whether gender makes a difference on this. The novelty of this proposal is that it improves capturing the employer¿s behaviour relative to other studies, and it lets workers decide whether to show this attribute. The role of gender stereotypes in the labour market is highlighted as a possible reason for the differences generally found in the competitiveness gap between men and women, and as a framework to predict results from this experiment. Furthermore, extensions to this design are suggested.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The natural earth environment has been facing various alterations due to anthropogenic activities even long before the industrial revolution. Economic development can no longer be achieved at the cost of the environment. This study sketches a thorough analysis of the current situations and likely impacts on the environment from the various infrastructural development projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Most of the potential outcomes of this project are already known. However, there is a limited academic discussion available concerning its environmental hazards coupled with the relevant laws and policies. This study aims to explore why it is inevitable to revise the CPEC related projects, such as shifting from coal-based energy projects to renewables and building climate-resilient infrastructure in order to avoid various environmental harms. The study concludes by suggesting that along with economic integration, it is also essential to promote legal cooperation between China and Pakistan concerning environmental laws as an integral part of the national geopolitical policies to make CPEC a long-lasting as well as a more safe, secure and sustainable project.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The cloud storage services are used to store intermediate and persistent data generated from various resources including servers and IoT based networks. The outcome of such developments is that the data gets duplicated and gets replicated rapidly, especially when large number of cloud users are working in a collaborative environment to solve large scale problems in geo-distributed work locations. The data is prone to breach of the privacy and high incidence of duplications. When the dynamics of cloud services change over period of time, the ownership and proof of identity operations also need to change and work dynamically for high degree of security. In this work we have studied the concepts, methods and the schemes that can make the cloud services secure and improve the Data Duplication process. The proposed scheme works for Deduplication of data with arithmetic key validity operations that helps to check complexity of the keys so that it is hard to break the keys.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
