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.

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.

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 -Trichoderma is invented from naturally occurring fungus to protect crops from different diseases caused by different harmful fungi especially seed born and soil born fungi. Boro rice is grown in winter season in Bangladesh. Rice plants are cultivated in puddled transplanted system in winter season but this can be grown successfully by direct seeding on dry un-puddled soil with less irrigation. But this dry condition with less temperature of winter season is very suitable for growth and development of seed born and soil born fungi. These fungi attack seeds and seedlings before and after germination of seeds. These also cause pre-emergence and post-emergence death of seedlings. Trichoderma bio-fungicide is a very effective tool to control these fungi. Seed treatment with Trichoderma harzianum significantly increases germination and protects seed and seedling from seed and soil born fungi as well as increase plant stand in the field. It generates rapid and uniform seedling emergence and increase the survival rate of crop plants as well as increase yield.
