Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Selection of the proper shade and color matching of natural dentition continues to be one of the most perplexing and frustrating problems in dentistry. Colour matching and shade selection of teeth is a blending of art and science. This process requires knowledge of the dimensions of colour as well as the clinical experience in an environment that optimizes the selection process.Inadequate technology to aid shade selection and shade duplication has rendered this part of dentistry more of an art than science. Unlike science, art form is subordinate to the individual abilities of the dentist that influence the predictability and reproducibility of the finished restoration. This skill cannot be thoroughly mastered in the absence of scientific knowledge, nor can it be fully grasped by merely memorizing facts about colour. Together, knowledge and experience provide rewarding solutions to this challenging aspect of dentistry. Thus the dentist, as well as the artist, should be educated in colour to be successful in working with colour. To ensure that the dentist of the future have this background in colour, such should be specified for predental and/or dental students.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Subject to legal limitations, the owner of undeveloped real estate can determine both the date and density at which to develop his property. Alternatively, he can abandon his property. The value of these options depends partly on the stochastic evolution through time of the operating revenues and construction costs of developed property.In this book the option pricing problem is solved analytically and numerically for the optimal data and density of development, the optimal date of abandonment, and the resulting market values of the developed and undeveloped properties.The financial crisis showed, once again, that neglecting real estate booms can have disastrous consequences. In this work we spell out the circumstances under which a more active policy agenda on this front would be justified. Then, we offer tentative insights on the pros and cons as well as implementation challenges of various policy tools that can be used to contain the damage to the financial system and the economy from real estate boom-bust episodes.

COVID-19 may impact multiple organs include respiratory, enteric, neurological, renal, and hepatic systems. The kidney disturbances pathogenesis from COVID-19 is not well understood yet. A recent study showed abnormal kidney function was related to death in patients with COVID-19. It is suggested that immunopathology has an important role in this mechanism of kidney problems. Recent works of literature show no well-established therapy for the disease and supportive strategies were the best we can do. Many experimental drugs were investigated, and the most appropriate strategy was to prevent the worsening of outbreak and infection control. The investigational drugs give us some hope to cure the disease although it is still a long way to go. Kidney involvement in COVID-19 should be considered to get the best treatment in the population. Further study is needed to get better mechanisms, management, and prevention of COVID-19, especially in kidney diseases. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is the conventional wisdom of the academic community to conclude that the U.S. missionaries' stance toward Japanese imperialism during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945) did not stand on either side of Korea or Japan, but exposed their non-political inclinations by maintaining neutrality. This conventional wisdom is not wrong, but it is not entirely true. Almost all U.S. missionaries maintained apolitical attitude that did not intervene into Korea's political situation. The purpose of this study is to find out the nature of Japanese imperialism by studying an American missionary who resisted Japanese imperialism in his own political way and to enrich the discussions on non-political stance of missionaries. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientists of the ZNU Chemistry Department have developed a new software called QuS (abbrv. for QSAR Server), that is designed to integrate and coordinate the work of other software that performs certain stages of QSAR-analysis. QuS is defined by the application of the concept of in silico latest chemometric technologies for drug search. The formation of databases plays a vital role in revealling the laws of SAR / QSAR. The database is a new and necessary connection in solving the problem of predicting the biological activity and toxicity of chemical compounds. Various quinoline derivatives are used as synthons in organic synthesis and molecular design, as well as effective biologically active compounds. In addition, for a significant number of biologically active derivatives of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, there are limited or no systematic studies of 'structure-activity-toxicity', which was the main reason for studying the quinoline derivatives' databases, finding descriptors of their structure which are important for QSAR models as systems for assessing the biological effects of compounds and obtaining promising lead-compounds 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book has been written as a result of my social interaction with friends, students, and people who practice and live in extended families. It provides on the spot information on the impact of extended family ties on the educational performance and pursuit of students in Segbewema. However, the study would have been more interesting if it were done in as many communities, towns, and districts, but being and academic exercise, it was timebound and had some constraints. Like family, the extended family is severally defined as a social unit that contains the nuclear together with blood relations/ relatives. An extended family is simply a family unit that extends past the nuclear family to include other relatives such as aunts and grandparents. The extended family is one that extends beyond the immediate family consisting of parents, uncles, aunts cousins and grandparents all living nearby or in the same household. In most cultures, the core of the family is the nuclear family which consist of the parents and children. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Children spend on average 2.4 hours per day in front of a screen during a school week and 3 hours per day over the weekend. The WHO warns that children under the age of two should not use electronic devices with screens. In this publication we will present clinical examples from mental health practice. We would like to raise awareness about the dangers of the internet and mobile phones to use at a young age and point to the lack of rules regarding their use in the family. It is important to raise greater awareness about the dangers of internet use to minimize the exposure of young children and adolescents to asocial and inappropriate content which may be detrimental to their health and, in some instances, life-threatening. The technology and its applications are undeniably important in the education and development of young people, but the risks associated with their use must be pointed out, emphasizing family cohesion as a factor that may reduce exposure to hazardous situations. The negative impact can be prevented by carefully introducing digital technology to children, controlling the use and setting good examples of the appropriate use of these technologies by adults. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Exposure to physical therapy in rehabilitation shows a major interest in recent years for foot drop prevention by using ankle foot devices (AFO). In classifying the stance and swing phases, electromyography (EMG) signals were used to assist in utilising the AFO. Even though this approach has successfully controlled the actuator, classification model of EMG signals during stance and swing phases have not yet been discovered. Thus, a model to classify the stance and swing phases of EMG signals was proposed in this study. A model was developed by extracting the features using time domain (TD) and feeding it into artificial neural network (ANN) classifier. It was observed that Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm of ANN with five TD features performed better than other features with an average percentage of classification accuracy of 87.4%. The outcome of this study could enhance the development of AFO and implementations in real time application were suggested for future applications. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We have lost our way in aortic valve surgery! We have made a lot of valves but we have never followed in general the principals dictated by nature. There are only few surgeons in the world who pay attention to the very complex physiology of the aortic valve apparatus. As a result, we are trying to outperform nature! Wouldn`t it be logical to conform to physiology The mitral valve repair is a method of choice for the majority of the cases. However, in some cases, the valve repair is not possible and its replacement is not desirable, troublesome and even dangerous. Total autologous reconstruction of the mitral valve may be a very helpful option for such cases. The 'ideal' valve should be: not rigid, allowing for the continuous movements of all heart structures; non-thrombogenic, requiring no permanent anticoagulation; hemodynamically sound, absent of significant trans-valvular gradients during exercise; durable, which presently means capable of more than 20 years of normal function; easily surgically implantable and economically affordable. My valves do meet all these requirements! 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sometimes in real life cases, it is very difficult to obtain samples from a continuous distribution. The observed values are generally discrete due to the fact that they are not measured in continuum. In some cases, it may be possible to measure the observations via a continuous scale, however, they may be recorded in a manner in which a discrete model seems more suitable. Consequently, the discrete models are appearing quite frequently in applied Fields and have attracted the attention of many researchers in the applied fields. An investigator will be vitally interested to know if their model fits the requirements of a particular distribution. To this end, one will depend on the characterizations of this distribution which provide conditions under which the underlying distribution is indeed that particular distribution. This monograph is the continuation of our (2016) monograph which presents further characterizations of many recently introduced important discrete distributions. 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Religious-based violence is provoking worldwide anxiety and terror. States around the world, especially in Middle East and North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, are facing violent extremism. Violent extremism has become a key security issue and is perceived as an existential security threat to states and individuals. That is the case of Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria and Chad in the Chad Basin area. The Lake Chad basin is facing a major conflict due to the threats of Boko Haram, which claims radical Islam, and identifies with the ISL. This movement appears a threat to the stability of States and the security of a part of their population. Thus, the management of the conflict and the stabilization of the region is about containing the insurgency by convincing the population with an adoption of exceptional measures and a military option discourse. But after three years of military operation conducted through the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), the conflict is not ending and needs a new approach. This work analyze the choice made by the countries in the Lake Chad Basin for the resolution of the conflict in an environment of security and development challenges. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Despite the current acceleration of human globalization and mobility, and a growing de-territorialization in the production of subjectivities, the most recent trend of legal immigration administration in Europe has been the implementation and strengthening of national language and civic integration courses and tests for all types of non European adult migrant newcomers. After a mandatory, state-financed standard educational path lasting up to the length of one year, the candidates to immigration have to attend to classes scrupulously and pass the tests successfully in order to receive the right to durably settle on a given national territory, thus attesting of their knowledge of the official idiom and nationally defined cultural norms, values, history, symbols and political institutions. Drawing from an ethnographic immersion in a german integration school named 'Heimat e.V.', this anthropological analysis retraces the genealogy and studies the anatomy of such a dispositiv, before restituting the elements of a subjective resistance shaped by adult migrants confronted to it, when the institutionalization of integration processes could turn into the production of strangers. 108 pp. Englisch.

Although the time period considered for the artistic property demolition examples spans from 2014 to 2016, the brief history of the organisation and outline of the conflict is also described. Additionally, international response and cooperation in terms of fighting with the problem is presented. Dissertation seeks to demonstrate the motives behind the destruction of cultural property of the area occupied by the organisation. Titled as the cradle of civilisation, Mesopotamian region is a home to relicts of great powers such as the Sumerians, Assyrians and Hittites. Broad description of the demolished sites and analysis of the aims of the terroristic organisations officials and their benefit from the illegal trade artefacts are an inseparable part of the thesis. Apart from that, paper describes international legal framework on the means of cultural heritage protection. Legislation is divided into three subgroups of general norms, laws related to times of armed conflict and documents on the illicit transit of artistic property. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examined the productivity of the smallholders' farms in bread wheat based farming system of Hetosa plain in Arsi Zone of Oromiya regional state in southeastern part of Ethiopia. The study was based on the cross sectional data collected from 26 farmers selected using simple random sampling method in 2017. The wheat production efficiencies were estimated using stochastic frontier production function in which inefficiency is assumed as a function of different productivity factors. The general low level of efficiency of farmers is an indication of high potential that exists to improve the productivity of farmers through improving the efficiency level of those less efficient farmers. More farmers operate at lower efficiency level for wheat relative to barley. Whereas the opposite is true for higher efficiency level indicating that more farmers' approached the frontier for barley production relative to wheat production; possibly due to the traditional nature of the barley technologies. In the analysis of causes of inefficiencies, it has been found that average education level and proximity to development center are important factors that affect the production inefficiency. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Study about Hookah at Koilandy: 'the project' that has been completed here, and in result I have realised certain factors of inadequate scenario of subject. In the present days, Hookah business is facing a very serious crisis. I am being studious on the subject, preferred to choose Hookah business as subject for my project. To begin, I had visited three leading Hookah manufacturing factories out of five of this nature located and functioning in Koilandy Taluk. As part of my visit, I interacted with several workers of various caliber, including Mr. Ramdas who is President of the concern society. My keen observation reveals following conclusions: few foreign countries have offered their demand for hookah and supply could not be materialised, since production processes were stuck due to various adverse reasons. Lack of initiation from the part of government machinery as well slackness of relevant association is solely responsible for it. In view to maintain the factories dynamically live and healthy, the government would have taken the major part of the share of the company and also by exploring fresh job opportunites. 56 pp. Englisch.
