Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -We present a compilation on the evolutive processes that led to the gene emergence that should help readers who are not familiar with the subject to understand the mechanisms that might have shaped it over time. The main challenge in these processes is that they must be coherent with the emergence of self-reproducing systems from simple in- and organic chemistry as well as being compatible with natural selection. As in other sciences like physics, the detailed understanding of the most fundamental processes led to key breakthrough technological achievements. For instance, the artificially induced evolution of catalytic systems under directed selective constraints is an important issue for the processing industry. It is amazing to realize how fast complex biological systems arose and evolved in the early time of Earth. Here, it has been our aim to try to give a constructive view of how chemical information contributed to biological self-organization.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -There are two major species of aloes. One is Aloe barbadensis (A. vera; vera means true) which thrives in warmer places. The long-cultivated A. vera has become naturalized in many tropical and sub-tropical countries, including in the southwestern America, where people traditionally have favored this species as a kitchen windowsill plant (put by the kitchen window for an ornament and use for a first-aid to small cuts, burn when they get hurt, habitat on the island of Barbados). The dietary supplement health and education act (DSHEA) of 1994, is a 1994 statute of United State Federal Legislation which defines and regulates dietary supplements (DS). DSHEA defines the term ¿dietary supplement¿ to mean a product (other than tobacco) intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or more than dietary ingredients, including a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, and a dietary substance for use.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The testimony of the sighted crescent in Rihla Ibn Jubayr al-Andalusy during his journey from Spain to Mecca in Saudi Arabia from 578 AH - 581 AH to carry out the pilgrimage was something interesting to be analyzed from Astronomic and Fiqh Perspective. The Hijri calendar system in that era was a monthly calendar. The determination of begining of the month was based on normative sighting. The most successful sighting was on one day after a conjunction occured. Although at that time air pollution was not as severe as it is today, it was quite difficult to sight the crescent with the naked eye even though it¿s altitude was more than 5 degrees.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Bituminous roads since its inception in 1920 has been a very popular method of road construction. In this method of road construction bitumen is used as a binder in the wearing course. This has the advantages of low cost of materials used, relatively low level of noise production by the traffic, lower maintenance and repair cost. However, it is less durable than other methods of road construction available and isn¿t the best environmentally safe option. In order to counter these drawbacks, various studies have been undertaken. In our study, with the increased use of plastic which is non-biodegradable in our daily lives, the quantum of refuse entering our landfills and filling our garbage dumps has increased phenomenally. This has increased the waste management challenge. In order to address this misuse, reuse and recycle policy is the way. This project takes up this case and uses plastic in bituminous mix. The bitumen in the bituminous mix has been replaced by plastic to some extent.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -FDI is a very important factor for every national economy. Inward FDI increases job opportunities in the target country, which helps counter-fighting unemployment, a very hot issue in the contemporary world. Furthermore, inward FDI is a positive flow of money helping to improve the country's balance of payments (BoP). The importance of FDI in contemporary international economics leads to thorough research for the characteristics, which attract foreign investors, the so-called ¿FDI-determinants¿. But the FDI decision is a very complex procedure, based upon data, facts, incidents, characteristics, perceptions etc. This complexity makes the tracking and identification of the FDI-determinants also a very complex issue. Moreover, the FDI involves two main actors: The investor who searches for the best possible destination for his investment, and the countries' policymakers, who try to attract as much foreign capital as possible. This paper suggests a new framework accompanied by a model that helps to prioritize and assess the case-relevant determinants. The tool¿s aim is to help potential investors and policy-makers to their FDI related decisions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Many citation styles are in use today. From a critical approach, this essay foregrounds the individual or collective subjectivity characteristic of all citation styles and how this gives rise to what is here called referential arbitrariness (sequencing of citation items based on personal preferences of the person or people formulating the new citation style or another edition of a citation style) in contradistinction from sequencing them in accordance with objective standards. Subjectivity also becomes a conduit for cultural hegemony. This essay establishes a need for objectivity in formulation of citation styles and provides basic frameworks of a new citation style, the Nsukka Multidisciplinary Style, which is built on principles with experimental and universal validity, hence, objective and scientific. A scientific citation style is by implication also decolonised since it does not identify with any particular culture and foregrounds democratisation of trophilisation (process of submission and review of scholarly works and giving of awards to the best). As a result, all existing citation styles defer to the Nsukka style. This will be of great interest to students and scholars.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Today, there is no doubt that a good performance achieves continuous improvement in only those organizations, where every employee gives his best achievement priority to corporate goals and business strategy. Strategy, in the most general terms, is an action plan to achieve those objectives. Strategic management is an ongoing, dynamic and sequential process, by which organization adapts in time to the external environment changes and effectively utilizes its existing potential. Now it becomes more and more obvious that the main feature of the construction company management under market conditions is their long-term outlook orientation, that is, management of fundamental researches, diversification of operations, innovative activities and maximal use of creative efforts of the personnel. The experience of the advanced nations shows that the effective solution of all the above-listed tasks is impossible without the strategic management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The first idea of extra dimensions, as it is well known, was proposed by Kaluza-Klein in the 1920¿s to unify electromagnetism and gravity. Since then, dimensional expansion of space-time beyond 4D has been one of the most interesting topics of Modern Physics. Besides extending of Standard Model (SM), introducing extra dimensions have been considered as the ways to investigate both classical and open problems of Particle physics and Cosmology in New Physics beyond the SM . These are solutions of the hierarchy problem in the 5D Randall-Sundrum space-time or in higher extra dimensions; the explanation of dark matter or dark energy, neutrino physics in the 6D Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) model, the expective proposal for Grand Unified Theory (GUT) base on String theories with 10D or 11D to unify gravity with gauge interactions. Extra dimensional theories can lead to really significant physical consequences.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

The current status is analysed and evaluated based on literature search and by presenting the results of own research. Investigated organochlorine pesticides are classified as priority hazardous and persistent substances. Ozonation and combined ozonation with UV, granular activated carbon (GAC) and zeolite (ZEO) were studied. Experimental study was carried out in completely stirred and jet-loop ozonation reactors. Temperature influence and stripping of volatile substances were also involved. The highest removal rate was observed for heptachlor using O3/UV combination. Almost total removal of heptachlor by ozonation was observed. Very close treatment efficiency was observed also by combined O3/UV process. Ozonation was more efficient also for removal of hexachlorobutadien and pentachlorobenzene. The lowest removal rates were observed for hexachlorobenzene with significantly higher removal efficiency observed by ozonation process. Specific removal rates for individual substances in the O3/GAC process were about eight times higher than for zeolite adsorptive ozonation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Words and phrases like green, sustainable, renewable, and environmentally conscious may have clear meanings in certain contexts, but in others, their meanings and implications are complex. Companies in the oil industry have been including this type of language more frequently in their vision statements, descriptions of their operations, and marketing materials. Does this use of ¿green¿ buzzwords mean the companies are becoming more sustainable It seems like a paradox to try to describe a company that relies on the extraction of nonrenewable resources as green. Although oil companies have become interested in newer alternative sources of energy, oil and natural gas remain the foundation of most large, international oil companies. The finite availability of crude oil has long been recognized (although exact estimates of how finite these reserves are vary greatly), but the growing focus on sustainability and greenness in the oil industry is a fairly recent trend. As we will see, it is not always clear what ¿sustainable¿ and ¿green¿ mean for the business of an oil company.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Since economics is a social science, there is no clear and definite method with which we can compare the theories of different schools and choose one of them as the best. Sociological, political, cultural and ideological factors also influence us when we study and compare the theories. The subject of economics is so broad and complex that any one of the schools cannot explain everything perfectly. Thus, they should be seen as a complementary rather than rival.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Based on Sabotage Analysis as one of TRIZ techniques, we developed Creative Risk Management Approach based on Reverse Thinking (CRMART). CRMART is very effective not only as a method to prevent human errors at site of work in manufacturing and construction industries but also as a risk management method based on future-oriented thinking against New-Type Risks (NTR) in IT field with drastic advances in technical innovations. Introducing CRMART in a variety of real projects, we have got a reputation from practitioners who experienced CRMART through risk management activities. Judging from the above, it is clear that CRMART really plays the field and is flexible method. And now, reverse thinking in CRMART comes from ¿Other Way Round¿ called No.13 principle in 40 Inventive principles. However, the most important feature of CRMART is that the risk factors we grasp get converted to functions we should practice by utilizing Functional Analysis (FA) in Value Engineering (VE). Because it¿s possible to move the risk factors from non-participant observer to central player in a risk management activity logically by transforming risk factors from usual risk items into functions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Due to the difficulties occurred in remote sensing image information, an analysis algorithms growth of a large scale image segmentation haven¿t kept a place with the requirement for the methods which to develop the final accuracy of object detection as well as the recognition. Traditional Level set segmentation methods which are Chan-Vese (CV), IVC 2010, ACM with SBGFRLS, Online Region Based ACM (ORACM) were suffered from more amount of time complexity, as well as low segmentation accuracy due to the large intensity homogeneities and the noise. The robust segmentation of remote sensing images is a tedious task because due to lack of spatial information and pixel intensities are non-homogenous. In this regard region based segmentation is impossible. So this is the reason we consider clustering algorithms in pre-processing to improve the cluster efficiency & overcome the obstacles present in traditional methods. In the proposed method we were having two stages, the first stage, in order to pre-process the image we were utilizing the fuzzy logic and k-means clustering known as Fuzzy-k-Means clustering. Here the clustered segmentation results suffering from boundaries and edge leak.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In 1980, Claude Berge introduced B- graphs. These are graphs in which every vertex is contained in a maximum independent set. This idea led to the concept of excellence in graphs which has been introduced by Fricke et al with respect to several parameters like domination, independence, etc. Let be a parameter and let G (V, E) be simple graph. A vertex v in V (G) is said to be -good if v belongs to a -minimum ( -maximum) set of G according as is a super hereditary (hereditary) parameter. v is said to be -bad if it is not -good. A graph G is said to be -excellent if every vertex of G is -good. G is - commandable if number of -good vertices in G is strictly greater than the number -bad vertices of G and there should be at least one -bad vertex in G. G is said to be -fair if number of - good vertices in G is equal to the number of - bad vertices in G and G is said to be -poor if number of -bad vertices in G is strictly greater than the number of - good vertices in G. This book is devoted to the study of graphs with respect to the Independence and vertex covering parameters.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
