Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Special Theory of Relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein, provided the unique concept that ¿Every reference-body (co-ordinate system) has its own particular time¿ as his own words. This concept is widely accepted, not only among scientists, but also the general public, with a popular interpretation of this theory being that the ticking pace of a clock in a moving system is slower than that of the one in a reference stationary system. However, on thorough consideration, we can find several issues related to the development of Einstein¿s concept of time, which implies that the above-mentioned interpretation cannot hold true. This book presents a detailed explanation of the issues using mathematical knowledge provided in junior high school or the upper grade of elementary school, as well as using formal logic applied sometimes by kindergarten children. Therefore, even the common men will understand the issues in the development of Einstein¿s concept of time if the readers forgo the preconception that Einstein is irrefutably right.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The research study investigated local Inuit women in business in Iqaluit, Nunavut to explore their uses of traditional knowledge in their private business practice. Data about what Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles were applied in the private sector were collected through semi-structured interviews with four participants. They described some of the challenges and positive experiences they have faced as indigenous business owners. Their work practices include efforts to preserve, promote, and revitalize the Inuit language, traditional knowledge, and culture including educating people about them. The findings show how Inuit women entrepreneurs of Iqaluit have coped with their decolonization to overturn misconceptions of Inuit ways from the private sector perspective. During this journey, they have created a new business culture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In Manipur the provision of natural lactic acid fermentation in food processing has been adopting since ancient time in the production of Soibum, Soidon and Soijin from bamboo shoots. Soibum which is the chief among these, has been produced with the involvement of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as Lactobacillus brevis, L. Plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and L. phallax etc. However, yeasts such as Saccharomyces, Tolulopsis and Pichia sps. etc. are also involved in Soibum fermentation under predominancy of LAB. The traditional commercial scale production of Soibum has been undergone adopting exudate retaining and exudate draining methods. From the present contribution it could be ascertained that Soibum fermentation caused significant increase of free amino acids, polyphenols, phosphate and phytosterols etc. along with significant decrease of phytate. Polyphenols are antioxidants claimed to be useful in prevention of cancer, coronary heart disease and diabetes etc. As potent as other solid state fermentation, Soibum fermentation increased polyphenol content by 2.43- 4.42 times during a month.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The global financial crisis and food scarcity have tinted together the brittleness of capitalism. Today, as the effect from the credit crunch and the larger economic crunches linger, it is widely believed that demands for alternative choices will automatically grow. Therefore, this book seeks to scrutinise the cause(s) of the contemporary financial crisis and assess the notions that drive to the very core of capitalism, that may have the potential to cause such crisis. It shall also assess several issues that have also backed to the economic disaster. The Islamic interpretation of such factors will be offered to show how an Islamic economic and banking system might help the stability that the world desires seriously. We have already heard some commentators predicting that the Islamic finance and banking industry should have a cure and this fastest-developing industry can drive onward to resolve the credit crunch. While the fairly small extent of Islamic banking and financial industry might make this seems impractical at this instant, but there does exist an extraordinary prospect the Islamic economic system to offer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Every single society in the world is engaged in the race for economic success and social development, independently of its system of values and beliefs. Like in every competition, there are leaders; runners-up and laggards. Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) became fashion in the world economy. Since the mid-1980, some economist and policymakers have perceived FDI is the way towards economic growth. Governments all over the world started to draw attention to FDI and to create means to attract it. Most of FDI still flows between developed countries, while the flow of FDI to developing countries rises gradually. Developing countries, mainly African countries struggle to attract certain types of FDI. There are many factors claimed to attract and deter FDI.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -With 98% of world trade being carried out by the 159 WTO members and further 24 countries negotiating to join the WTO, it is a matter of time for the remaining ¿ mostly developing ¿ countries, including Turkmenistan, to file for WTO application, especially if they want to develop competitive industries and access foreign export markets. This paper examines three conditions that can potentially have an effect on the level of WTO accession benefits in developing resource-rich countries and traces the mechanisms through which these conditions influence economic growth. The research findings suggests that countries that have achieved a greater level of industrialization by the time of WTO accession are better able to yield economic benefits from trade liberalization that the accession entails. This finding can encourage developing countries to help their industries upgrade their comparative advantage before they enter a competitive international trade environment through WTO accession.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The renewable material resources are cheap and annually available in the rural areas in the South. The cultural and technical heritage, associated with the use of these resources expresses the endogenous creativity of the populace in the local communities in the South. There is a harsh need to empower the local communities, so that they could rediscover their own resources as a material base to create their own culturally specific sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Thus, the countries in the South could develop their own routes of modernization and become participants in shaping the future of mankind. Examples are given on how selected inputs of science and technology may have a role in finding new avenues of utilization of renewable material resources for the satisfaction of basic needs of populace and the dissemination of the SMEs, tuned to local communities. This book is written for academics and practitioners working in the field of rural development as well as NGOs and donor institutions, operating in rural areas. It is also written for scholars and researchers in the fields of renewable material resources, agricultural science and microeconomics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The national retail chains operating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia market adopt a market strategy that is causing a significant negative impact on both, the national brands¿ performance and the consumer purchase behavior. The strategy of these retail chains is based on two main pillars. The first pillar is the frequent and intense price discounts offered by the national brands sold in their outlets. The second pillar is the rapid expansion in introducing their private label brands across various categories, specifically the low-risk product categories. Nowadays, the retail chains are frequently and heavily promoting the national brands to attract multiple target consumer segments, to generate sales value, sales volume, and to boost the traffic for their outlets. Consequently, the retail chains' negotiation power over the manufacturers has tremendously grown. Therefore, the surge of the private label brands and the heavily discounted national brands necessitate a new strategy paradigm for the manufacturers to counter-attack this threat, especially that numerous national brands are, nowadays, losing their loyal consumer base because they became deal-prone consumers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book uses a neuromarketing perspective to examine STP and 4P strategies. In neuromarketing parlance, ¿market¿ means providing products and services by way of brain activation and triggering consumer satisfaction. Consumer purchasing decisions are largely controlled by the brain, and often the subconscious has a greater influence over purchase choices than the conscious mind. In order to manage marketing strategies more efficiently, marketers seek to better understand how brain activation relates to purchasing behavior. Accordingly, companies in a variety of industries are working on promoting product sales by exploring clues through investigating brain functions. This book focuses on basic neuromarketing theory, and includes case studies of breakthroughs in hit product development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this document an attempt is made to explain the origin of gravity. The basis for the analysis is a merger of Quantum theory and Relativity. Nowhere in the analysis there is any need to deviate from well proven and successful concepts of both theories and rules of calculation, and no exotic new particles will have to be introduced. By doing so it is demonstrated that, next to its local interactions of a multi-particle system, the Schrödinger equation leads to pairs of two and only two members. This solution is used as the invariant term in the quantized Einstein energy equation which finally leads to gravitational interactions between members of the pairs. With this particular solution for the quantum-mechanical wave function it is found that gravity is a second order effect operating over a long range. In this document it is tried to give a complete and consistent account of all steps that have been taken in de derivation of the classical Newton¿s law. Further the document emphasizes precise justification of some of the basic assumptions made and how it works out on a cosmological scale.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

The women who constitute the greater percentage of the fish mongers / processors represent the first segment of the fish market chain, buying fresh fish directly from the fishermen and fishing companies. The fish is either sold fresh by the women, or processed using various methods especially smoking. The women in the fisheries value chain are often grouped into Cooperatives Societies though we have a very, very few that go solo. However, the activities of the women in the value chain has not been optimized or linked to value chain finance in Nigeria ¿ thus they are limited to various financial services being put up by the commercial banks for the Agricultural Sector in the country.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Engineering Analysis relies heavily on Computer Modelling without much recourse to Mathematical Analysis. The objective of this booklet is to demonstrate how mathematical analysis helps in giving an insight to the problem. The benefit of developing a simple theory that backs up computer modelling and quantifies the effect of design parameters, is illustrated. Another objective of the booklet is to demonstrate how the use of Standards, Codes and in particular Guidelines without analysis back-up, can lead to undue conservatism. These two themes are typical of the Oil and Gas Industry. The author is not aware of practice applied in other major safety driven industries. The three case studies presented in here are related to Vibration Induced Fatigue Failure and are given only to demonstrate the concept.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Allergic rhinitis, popularly known as ¿hay fever¿, is a common health problem worldwide. Various drugs are used to treat allergic rhinitis, but they may be ineffective or expensive, or have side effects. Helminths are complex multicellular organisms that inhabit larger organisms, and in humans are often symptomless. Helminths modulate (that is, optimally adjust) their hosts¿ immune systems and it is thought that this property of helminths could be used therapeutically, to prevent or treat allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis. In this systematic review we included data from two well-designed studies with a total of 130 adult participants, each study using a different gastrointestinal helminth species (human hookworm in one study and pig whipworm in the other) as the intervention. Both studies found no significant efficacy from helminths, although one helminth species (Trichuris suis, the pig whipworm) reduced the need for participants to take tablets as ¿rescue medication¿ during the grass pollen season. Adverse events such as abdominal pain and flatulence were commoner in the helminth group, but the two helminths species studied did not cause serious adverse reactions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The production of small ruminants is typically an activity of smallholder farmers, thus, not requiring high investments in zoo-technical management. The potential of meat from autochthone goats in promoting the socio-economic development of developing countries has been acknowledged, and the growing popularity of goat meat globally will add value to this potential. The full exploration of the potential of goat meat, however, will require a system of quality assurance or its grading. Since the nutritive value and palatability of goat meat are widely appreciated, standards for meat and products lay down under food safety and standard regulations, including microbiological and chemical requirements. This handbook provides background information that can assist in the development of meat goat product standards, and provides some elements of standards and specificities for rearing indigenous goats, methods of obtaining meat, and for carcass evaluation and grading for goat meat quality in order to meet the meat quality characteristics demanded by consumers. Product standards can also assist producers, processors, and retail segments in making informed management and marketing decisions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book contains a reasonable number of higher degree Diophantine problems in many variables expressed as polynomial equations to be solved in integers. Different sets of integers solutions to each of the higher degree diophantine equations considered in this book are illustrated along with a few interesting properties among the solutions. It is hoped that these problems may create an interest in the hearts of researchers and lovers of mathematics who approach it with pure love for its own beauty. The authors hope that seeing the excitement of solving these higher degree diophantine equations, young mathematicians and researchers realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in number theory which are going to be challenging in the future. There is no doubt that, to have deep and thorough knowledge of the higher degree problems presented here, one must do a lot more than reading these problems. Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment ¿To succeed, we must first believe that we can, the more you can dream the move you can dö as remarked by Michael Korda.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Pneumonia and malaria, the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality among Kenyans, often have overlapping clinical manifestations. Both of these diseases can be treated if diagnosed early, pneumonia with antibiotics and malaria with artemisinin- based combination therapy. However, because pneumonia presents with similar symp- toms as malaria, many people are treated inappropriately with anti-malaria drugs. This misdiagnosis is worrying because giving anti-malaria drugs to people with pneumonia delays their treatment with more appropriate drugs, increases morbidity and mortality rates due to pneumonia, and the increased risk of drug resistant malaria emerges. We develop a pneumonia-malaria model to investigate the eect of the dynamics of misdiag- nosing pneumonia as malaria. We focus on the transmission trends of the two diseases on the incidence of pneumonia misdiagnosis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Most parts of arid and semi arid savanna rangelands are degraded and degradation poses a risk to the ecosystem integrity of these fragile dryland environments. One of the most visible forms of savanna degradation is bush encroachment, a term that describes the invasion of whole landscapes by few of several indigenous woody species, which flourish opportunistically under inappropriate management of rangelands. Bush encroachment results in an imbalance in the ratio of grasses to bush, a decrease in biodiversity and a decrease in the carrying capacity, which cause severe economic losses to ranchers. About 60% of Namibiäs land surface and all its savanna rangelands are degraded by inappropriate rangeland management, such as over-utilization, prevention of fire and the elimination of mega-browsers. Total grass density was greatly higher in chemical and mechanical than in control treatment. Total woody density was significantly greater in the control than chemical and mechanical treatments. This book was written for ranchers, farm managers, ecologists, conservationists, policy makers and rangeland scientists.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.
