Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Indian power generation industry has undergone a paradigm shift during the past two decades largely due to private sector participation and restructuring of the sector. In order to assess the performance of the power generation sector, the present study takes data of 14 major states in India for the period 2000 to 2007 and estimates a stochastic translog production frontier. The decline in technical efficiency of the Indian power generation sector, as obtained from the econometric estimation, appears to indicate that it has failed to bring the desired results in terms of efficiency improvement. The total factor productivity (TFP) of the power generation industry, which includes technical change, technical efficiency change, and scale change, however, has shown some improvement. Technical efficiency of the power generation industry is explained by technical manpower employed, per capita state domestic product, year of unbundling of State Electricity Boards (SEBs) and time variable which will open new dimensions for young scholars. The study concludes that inefficiency in Indian power sector is caused by the above mentioned factors rather than stochastic error.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ethiopia is the origin of human evolution and host of diversified cultures and peoples.It is rich with its history and heritages.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The biomedical instruments and robotic surgery system are designed for biomedical applications. The biomedical professionals can provide effective assistance to the physicians on how to properly handle these biomedical systems in medical practices. The less invasive biomedical systems are being studied and analyzed to improve its quality since the well designed biomedical instruments can keep minimized body disruption and less organ trauma to the patient. Robotic surgery shows decreased incisions, minimized infection, less pains, and reduced healing period. The prototyping to implement robotic surgical system is a new scientific technology integrating mathematics, physics, automation, material science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and manufacturing engineering to perform design, development, experiment and modification. The book describes the biomedical system development by using analytic methodology, computational simulation, systematic analysis, prototype analysis and sampled robotic system testing. This book, therefore, can be used friendly for physicians by providing introduction, study, analysis and improvement for current and future biomedical systems. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book aimed to assess five different management strategies that assure a sustainable conservation of the SMNP. Quantitative and qualitative data acquired through interviews and focus group discussions while secondary data elicited from different sources. The analysis is done to understand the major cause and effect relationships of socio-economic and environmental factors. In this context, the Driving Forces-Pressures-State-Impacts-Responses (DPSIR) approach is used to provide and communicate knowledge on the state and change of causal factors regarding environmental issues. Totally 31 indicators applied, 22 of them adopted from the SMNP General Management Plan (GMP), and the remaining developed from an interactive discussion with different actors of SMNP. Data is processed by the Super Decision Software which is a very powerful decision making support tool. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Pakistan emerged on the world map in 1947 as a federal state. Sindh is a southern province of Pakistan. Pakistan passed its more than half of its history under the rule of military regime. In this Book the politics of Sindh under Zia regime are deeply discussed. The impact of Martial Law and assassination of Bhutto on the politics of Sindh is the main chapter of this book. The people of Sindh launched the movement for the restoration of Democracy in 1983 under the banner of Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD). In the movement hundreds were killed and injured by the states forces. The thousands were sent to jail. The impact of this democratic movement on the politics of Sindh also analyzed. The formation and the politics of ethno nationalist organizations such as Muhajir Quomi movement, Punjabi Pakhtoon Ithad are the topic of this work. The politic of Jeay Sindh Tahreek and other separatist organizations of Sindh are the part of study. The impacts of the politics of those organizations on federations also thoroughly discussed. In this book the democratic movements and Ethno nationalist politics of Sindh are covered. 284 pp. Englisch.
