Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -From the 2nd century BC, the view emerged in China that the intent of the author is crucial to a poem¿s composition and understanding. Writing was seen as the manifestation of the author¿s inner spiritual nature and identity. Thus all writing was to some extent autobiographical; writing about oneself had to be indirect, rather than overt or blatant. There were a number of obstacles to the development of autobiography as a genre in China. A high value was placed on humility, and writers hesitated to focus on themselves, only rarely writing in the first person. They used different names for themselves, and unlikely literary forms, such as prefaces to works, or biographies of other people, or speaking through fictional characters. There was also resistance to autobiography, because it was thought that a life or career could only be assessed when it was over. There was still a substantial amount of autobiographical writing in ancient and Medieval China. This book focuses primarily on the Tang and Song periods, and on the development of the literary form of the self-written epitaph; the earlier development of the genre and its later influence are also discussed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Prof. Dr. Hayriyem Zeynep ALTAN in her research, doesn't evaluate 'Troubling Love' only as an object of her scientific study but also prefers to look Elena Ferrante's story from inside by taking along the shadow of her own anxiety of being. While she is talking over the 'mother-daughter relationship' which is the focus of the story, she confesses that she has been watching her own relationship with her mother from inside and from past. Although she is concerned about this connection which is formed between 'The Troubling Love' and her unconscious; she emphasizes that it's the strong energy born with this interaction which created this study. 'Have you ever tried to look and see your mother free from her motherhood role, as a woman who has her own authenticity ' Altan deals with this question and while she is seeking for the answer; she makes 'Troubling Love' to begin an 'intertextual' journey: From Marguerite Yourcenar's book named as 'The Labyrinth of Earth' to the Spanish film of Iciar Bollain 'Take My Eyes' and to the myth of Aiskhylos which draws a charming picture of human conflict in Ancient Greece. This well-heeled study includes psychoanalysis, semiotics and feminism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -World economies should thrive because governments build universities as the primary movers for development. Yet we see a lot of economies stagnating because the universities become ivory towers of intellectual elites. The tale of the two cities in the midsection of the Philippines are living manifestations of the legacy of a higher education institution going beyond and out of the four walls of the university to be relevant in helping the local government units perform their functions in innovating and building communities for national development. The academic partnership with the private sector (industry) and the government proves to be a powerful triumvirate which results to a cross subsidization and sharing of resources, synergy via concentrated collaboration to a unified goal among partners/collaborators and the systemic fusion and coexistence resulting to heightened relevance of each in the development process. This book is intended for local government unit executives and university administrators to become more purposeful in catalyzing change and innovation to make the lives of the people they serve better in communities.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Although more than three centuries have passed since Newton's introduced his law of universal gravitation there is no exact value for the gravitational constant G In this book, we will introduce about a theoretical law, the first of its kind in physics, in which it is possible to find an exact value for the gravitational constant using simple way, a thing never happened before. The importance of this law lies in the fact that it links three different physical sciences with each other - mechanics, electromagnetism and thermodynamics in primitive form, which is the characteristic of this law, and it also tells us that the general gravity constant is not necessarily have to be a fixed value all time, which contributes to explain why the increase in the rotation velocities of galaxies, without assuming the existence of dark matter This book is simple and easy to understand for general readers, whether they are experienced physicists or those who are not specialists in physics, and important to the universities and center research sciences as NASABooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this book, an Active Shed Unbalancing System was described and constructed on a narrow fabric loom using a computer controlled hydraulic actuator. It was first used as a passive shed unbalancer which confirmed previous findings that weaving resistance (W.R.) or Beat-up Force (B.U.F) could be substantially reduced and then as an active system that, when properly timed, gave a further 20% reduction. The advantage of the active system is that it eases beating ¿ in of weft and also helps to minimize pick slipping back during the remaining part of the loom cycle. Also, with the active system it might be possible to weave a tighter fabric than previously possible and also have potential of improving the aesthetic qualities or cover of the woven fabric. Sometimes, fabrics of high sett, i.e. above or close to construction limits are necessary to meet certain end ¿ use requirements, e.g. water proof, industrial filters, canvas, tarpaulin, etc. Thus, the book gives an account of the experiments and the literature survey of the patented and potential unbalancing systems for commercial looms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Water governance in the Jordan Valley that involves the water users to participate in the water management hand-by-hand with the Jordan Valley Authority became a necessity to cope with the scarce water resources, and to assure sustainability of the irrigation projects. This participation concept was introduced in stages to be accepted by the farmers in accordance with the different agro-climatic zones in the Jordan Valley. It started by forming water user groups to participate in the water distribution activities at the tertiary level on voluntary basis, then developed to water committees with participation from farmers, Jordan Valley Authority Staff, and the government representative in the water committee area. Building on the achieved successes, water user associations were developed and officially registered under the cooperative law in Jordan. Many of the successful water user associations signed task transfer agreements with the Jordan Valley Authority to take over the responsibility of the irrigation water management of the irrigation networks at their areas.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -India is an emerging economy that has been growing very fast. This book tries to identify the sectors that contributed the most to Indiäs transition from an underdeveloped economy to a vibrant one. Attempt is also made to see which sector has been the most stable amid all the ups and downs. The book shows that the normal theory of economies growing from agro-based to industry to finally service-based does not always work. It highlights the policies that proved to be game changers. At the same time, it also shows that often, sectors grow in a policy vacuum ¿ they are not guided by government; the economy drives them. Such sectors, it seems from Indiäs case, tend to become the most stable because they grew without any support from outside. This also makes them the best sectors to support and invest in. This study thus gives important pointers to the policy makers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Oral cancer is a dreadful disease occurring most commonly in the Indian subcontinent. Since there is rarely a second chance for cure, initial approach to treatment is important. A crucial factor in pretreatment assessment of these patients is determination of presence and extent of bone invasion. The accurate prediction of the presence and extent of jaw bone invasion therefore takes on considerable importance as an inappropriate segmental resection will increase the complexity of reconstruction and the burden of rehabilitation. Conversely an inappropriate marginal resection will potentially compromise the oncological aims and increase the risk of local recurrence. Keeping these points in mind, this study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of clinical examination and OPG findings as compared to contrast enhanced Computed Tomography.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

In most parts of the world, malaria is hard to destroy because the resistance to the antimalarial drugs that proving to be a challenging problem in malaria control, beside their expensive cost and undesirable side effects. These problems lead to using natural plants which can be developed into safe drugs by synthetic strategies to obtain antimalarial active against not only drug-sensitive, but also drug-resistant of Plasmodium. The in vivo effectiveness of beta vulgaris showed effectiveness against several diseases to attenuate rodent malaria strain in three steps by using its aqueous extract, its methanol extract and its fresh juice. The EDs were estimated for the best concentrations of tested antimalarial extracts and its activities in the curative (stable infection) and prophylactic tests (future infection) were done. The histopathological changes in mice liver, spleen and kidney were reported for those mice treated by B. vulgaris aqueous extract and compared with infected untreated mice, Chloroquine treated mice and normal uninfected mice.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -It is more than a century since a connection between the mouth and the rest of the body first appeared in the medical literature. Recent evidence-based literature again strongly suggests that oral health is indicative of systemic health supporting the association between periodontal disease and systemic conditions. This has led to the evolution of a new branch in periodontology, namely Periomedicine. The nature of the association between periodontal disease and systemic diseases is considered bidirectional. Periodontal disease, can be initiated or deteriorated by certain systemic diseases, but also can initiate or deteriorate certain systemic diseases. Periodontal disease can produce numerous changes in systemic health by changing the blood chemistry with raised inflammatory mediators, proteins and lipid in serum. Hyperlipidemia and Thyroid disorders are considered to be related with systemic inflammation.Periodontitis has been found to release inflammatory cytokines to systemic circulation.So, it could be related with these two systemic conditions.The aim is determination of changes in periodontal status obtained by scaling and root planing on serum lipid and thyroid profiles.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Most of these are due to lack of quality care during delivery and early postnatal period. There are recommended postnatal maternal and child survival strategic interventions by the World Health Organization. Ethiopia has also adopted those interventions. However, the continuum of care in this period is neglected in many settings. Thus, it was tried to explore qualitatively the perception and lived experience of skilled attendants on postnatal care service provision in the resource limited setting, Ethiopia. All the findings and methodological approaches are helpful for qualitative methods interested researchers and for public health specialists to understand the lived situation of postnatal care service provision in resource limited settings.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A mammalian body consists of more than 200 types of cells; almost all of them having the same genome but different morphology and functions. These differences are due to cell-specific gene regulatory machinery. Mammalian genome has a complex organisation of regulatory sequences associated with different regulatory elements. The linear DNA in the nucleus is folded in a very complex manner and this folding brings distantly placed regions closer to each other. The combination of different DNA binding proteins such as transcription factors and histones; epigenetic marks such as gene position and dynamic modification of DNA and histones; and the three dimensional organisation of regulatory landscape interact in a pervasive and cell specific manner to generate complex spatiotemporal expression patterns. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP seq) and Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi C and 5C) approaches can be integrated with the whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (RNA-Seq) to decipher Spatial Pattern of binding of regulatory elements to their target genes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Based on the analysis of successive space-time transformation with direction changed, we prove the Galilean transformation can be derived by two postulates, the principle of relativity, and the homogeneous and isotropic of time and space that meets the Euclidean geometry. As the two postulates are also believed to be satisfied by the special relativity, we further demonstrate the successive Lorentz boost with direction changed will lead to paradox. It is discussed the Wigner rotation should not be regarded as the relativistic effect for the composition of two Lorentz boosts, but it will give contradictory events against the Euclidean geometry. We believe seeking new space-time model for the special relativity would be the most feasible approach, and a hypothesis of 3+3 space-time model is proposed to solve the paradox. We also extend the Maxwell equations to the 3+3 space-time and obtain the new electromagnetic field quantities and the corresponding covariant electromagnetic field equations. It is discussed the 3+3 space-time can be approximated to the 3+1 space-time and the new field equations based on the 3+3 space-time can also be approximated to the Maxwell equations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Total myocardial revascularisation is the basic principle for postoperative outcomes following coronary revascularisation surgery. Now-a-days, referred patients for CABG frequently have diffuse and calcified coronary artery disease (CAD), which has made complete surgical revascularisation more difficult and more complicated postoperative recovery. Inadequate revascularisation does not influence the quick death rate, but rather increase the rate of coronary re-stenosis; which adversely affect the long term cardiac function and also causes repeated attach of angina. That¿s why, coronary endarterectomy have been proposed to improve postoperative outcome following coronary revascularisation surgery in the late 1950s. Though Coronary endarterectomy is still a matter of controversy; but our study shows Coronary endarterectomy is attainable and accomplishes total myocardial revascularisation in a patient with diffuse coronary artery disease; when there is no other alternative for sufficient myocardial revascularisation. However, coronary endarterectomy is not an alternative, but an adjunctive to CABG. So, lets think about Coronary Endarterectomy in treating diffuse CAD with new HOPE!Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
