Neuware -In terms of poverty gap, the highest value (i.e.0.472) was obtained in Subsistence Agriculture (SA) livelihoods strategy followed by Subsistence Agriculture combined with Off-farm (SAO) livelihoods strategy. Contrary to this, Semi-commercial Agriculture strategy and Semi-commercial agriculture combined with Off-farm activity (SCAO) found to have relatively low poverty gap value i.e. 0.206 and 0.198 respectively, the latter being the least of all. From this we can understand that the average consumption short fall needed to bring those households below poverty line in SCA and SCAO is 20.6% and 19.8% respectively. Whereas, the average amount of consumption necessary to fill the shortfall of the poor from the poverty line is 47.2% and 46.8% in Subsistence Agriculture and Subsistence Agriculture combined with Off-farm livelihoods strategy, respectivelyBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

But this growing interdependence has not come without a price. Although most people continue to live as citizens of a single nation, they are culturally, materially, and psychologically engaged with the lives of people in other countries as never before. Distant events often have an immediate and significant impact, blurring the boundaries of our personal worlds. Items common to our everyday lives¿such as the clothes we wear, the food we eat, and the cars we drive¿are the products of globalization.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Common application fields for directional and horizontal drilling are in offshore and onshore when there is no way of drilling vertical wells. During directional and horizontal well drilling, many additional challenges occur when compared with vertical well drilling, such as limited weight on bit, harder hole cleaning, trajectory control, etc. This makes even harder to select the proper drilling parameters for increasing the rate of penetration. This study aims to propose a rate of penetration model considering many drilling parameters and conditions. The proposed model is a modified Bourgoyne & Young¿s model which considers formation compaction, formation pressure, equivalent circulating density, and effective weight on bit, rotation of the bit, bit wear, hole cleaning, inclination, fluid loss properties and bit hydraulics. Also, a bit wear model is developed for roller cones and PDCs. The model performance is tested using field data obtained from several directional and horizontal offshore wells drilled at Persian Gulf. It is observed that the model can estimate rate of penetration with an error of ±25 % when compared with the field data.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

Young, skill, and educated personnel having socio-political activities in the village level were becoming in the rural leadership. Rural leaders were participating in different levels of community affairs. Traditional leaders did not have access to the modern and development activities due to the lack of their positional status. For this reason, the traditional leaders were losing their base in leadership structure. On the other hand, the modern leaders with their younger age, higher education, personal qualities, political affiliation, and other traits were available to gain their ascendancy in the village power mechanism. The local level leaders were sitting in the parliament as honorable lawmaker in one hand, and a good link between Member of Parliament and local level leaders created a dramatic change in the power structure on the other. Economic, social, cultural, infrastructural and political development at the village level contributed for such a change in the rural power structure and leadership pattern in rural Bangladesh.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book illustrated the information transmission mechanism in two benchmark oil futures markets, Brent crude in UK and WTI in US. It was one of the early studies that examined the information transmission issue among geographically separated energy markets. Analyses were carried out to uncover the information content embedded in prices and volatilities of Brent and WTI markets for the period from 1994 to 2000. The results supported the hypothesis that WTI was a dominant player and a possible market leader in the price discovery process. They are in contrast to the recent development in crude oil marketplace where Brent crude is widely regarded as an international benchmark while WTI is increasingly considered as US domestic crude. The research results revealed the market features before e-commerce such as electronic screen trading became popular. The empirical findings can have significant implications for traders, risk professionals, policy makers and other market participants. Advanced time series estimation techniques, such as GARCH modelling and duration modelling have been employed.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Environment -Development syndrome has been the major concern of developing countries like India. The developing countries being disenchanted by the unforeseen consequences brought forth by the process of development have been in a dilemma to choose between development and environmental protection. It would obviously be absurd to advice the developing countries to stop all industrialisation for the sake of the environment. The standard of living and standard of life simultaneously are the pre-requisites for humanity to survive. While development provides the former, the latter rests on the environment. It has been a tough trade-off decision between economic growth and environmental protection especially in developing countries. Development per se, is not always the cause of environmental degradation. Rather, there are certain kinds of mindless development strategies that deteriorate the environment and these need to be curbed and changed. As a result there is a growing recognition that the overall goals of environment and development are not in conflict but are indeed the same.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Currently researches in the area of conflict resolution have started to give much attention for alternative dispute management strategies such as Indigenous Conflict Resolution Mechanisms (ICRM). ICRMs are usually found effective in resolving violent and hidden conflicts, restoration of disputants¿ relationships, preventing future revenge actions and ensuring peace and security of the local community. Although most traditional conflict resolution mechanisms are unique in nature, especially in the procedure of conflict resolution, they have also common/shared characteristics confirmed by various researches. Hence, the findings of this research can be used as an input for future researches on ICRMs.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Root Mean Square Forecast Errors (RMSFE) of the benchmark autoregressive model are compared with those of bivariate and trivariate vector autoregressions. The pseudo-out-of-sample forecasting results show that (1) the trivariate model using lags of inflation, crop production index and the parallel market exchange rate forecast inflation better (2) the term structure of interest rates also performs well and (3) monetary aggregates fare badly. Further, the study analyses the institutional set-up of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) to determine its independence. Results show that political interests have been driving the monetary policy and this has undermined the credibility of the central bank. Even if independence is not the complete answer, it is at least suggestive that a more autonomous central bank would be effective even though it is neither necessary nor sufficient by itself for achieving and maintaining low inflation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.
