Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -High cost of fishmeal has led to the need to research for alternative low cost feed ingredients. Differently processed maggot meals were assessed and fed to C. gariepinus fingerlings. Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were formulated to provide 40% crude protein. Fishmeal in the diets were totally replaced with either oven-dried full-fat, oven-dried defatted (Diets II & IV) or sundried full-fat, sundried defatted (Diets III & V) maggot meals respectively. Diet I without maggot meal served as the control. An experiment was conducted to determine the nutrient density (proximate composition, gross energy and mineral constituent) of processed maggot meals (hydrolyzed, unhydrolyzed, defatted, full-fat, sundried and oven-dried).The experiment also assessed the effect of processed maggot meals as replacement for fish meal in practical diets for C. gariepinus. The results obtained from the experiments indicated that: high levels of nutrients exist in the processed maggot meals and the occurrence of the nutrients was higher in defatted-oven-dried samples. It is recommended that farmers should utilize maggot meal in place of fishmeal which is presently in use and highly expensive.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Crime control model and the due process model are equally important in the administration of criminal justice system in a legal system of a country. To realize the crime control model effectively, investigation must be conducted at minimum violations of human rights and less cost. Hence, this book explores what should be observed in the pre-trial criminal justice by law enforcement organs especially police during investigation. Further, the investigating police should observe the rights of arrestees during investigation not to cause suffer for those innocents in selecting out those criminals.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In recent years, ISO 9000 has gained significant acceptance in many organizations in Ethiopia. Most of these organizations believe that ISO 9000 can assist them in surviving the unstable business environment and achieving competitive advantage over their competitors. The main motive behind this adoption is that the quality has become increasingly central features that the customers value. Customers are now more aware and looking for quality products and services than they were in previous years. Satisfaction is the focal point for the shift in their behavior. Because of this, some companies use ISO 9000 certification as a way to show their customers that they are quality concern and looking forward to providing only quality products or services (Othman, 2001). ISO 9000 involves adjustment to the organizations. When change is on a large scale, and involves many individuals and divisions, there are problems (Harvey and Brown, 1996; Ferguson & Cheyne, 1995). Employees are assigned with different job and with increased workload and paperwork, change in working environment, change.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this work a concept of density of randomly moving electrons is based by using Fermi distribution function and thermal noise. There also are obtained the general expressions for conductivity, diffusion coefficient, and drift mobility, which are valid at any degree of degeneracy of electron gas in isotropic materials. The estimated values of the effective density of randomly moving electrons, their diffusion coefficient and drift mobility of various metals are presented for the first time. It is shown that Einstein relation does not depend on the level of degeneracy of electron gas. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) describes physiologic derangements associated with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Both IAH and ACS are aetiologically linked to increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill surgical patients. Although there is strong evidence on the deleterious effects of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in different patient populations, measurement of intra-abdominal pressure is not yet universally applied even in patients for whom the evidence is most strong. This work marks the beginning of an objective look at this clinical phenomenon in abdominal surgical patients admitted to intensive care units of teaching hospitals in a resource-constrained environment. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Microarrays are known for their wide use in providing expression profiles for thousands of genes. Gene expression profiles provide a rich information for cancer diagnosis. Selecting an efficient classifier is a challenging task due to the presence of several classifier types. Previous studies showed that ensembles of classifiers are more efficient than single classifiers in cancer samples classification. However, designing an efficient ensemble has faced a number of challenges such as the large space of ensembles, increasing the diversity between the ensemble members, and the use of an efficient method to combine the decisions of the ensemble members. In this book, a novel ensemble selection algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm addresses the main challenges of the ensemble selection problem taking into consideration the special nature of microarray datasets. A set of experiments has been performed to study the robustness of ensembles of classifiers. This study shows that ensembles of classifiers are more robust than single classifiers. The study also shows that the proposed algorithm performs betten than other ensemble selection algorithms in the literature. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book looks at factors that individual investors consider when investing in shares of companies quoted at a stock exchange. Generally, research findings reveal that the factors individual investors consider when investing in shares ranked in order of importance include; managerial forecasts, safety of the amount invested, relevant items in investment decision, specific considerations, monetary and fiscal policies, industrial factors and accounting policies. Individual factors that are rated highly by investors are; profitability of the company, marketability of the shares, present and future conditions and interest rates. However, accounting policies like depreciation method are rated low by the investors. Further findings reveal that most of the investors do not use risk analysis models to analyse the risks associated with the investment in ordinary shares, though a bigger number consider risk in ordinary shares as medium. Never the less, investors are satisfied with investment in ordinary shares and would invest given the opportunity. Their preference would be mostly in the finance and investment segment. 68 pp. Englisch.

There is a need to evaluate successes and risks associated with these PMTCT strategies. In a retrospective cohort study, records of mothers who received either of two PMTCT strategies were linked with infant records and analyzed. From a total of 286 paired records, 225 (78.7%) received HAART, 38 (13.3%), Sc-ARVs while 23 (8%) had no ARVs in pregnancy. Overall transmission rate was 2.4% (5/208) in infants from the HAART group and 7.9% (3/38) for the Sc-ARV group. At ninth month of life 1% of infants in the HAART group and 13% in the Sc-ARV group were infected. Four infections occurred in the HAART group after ninth month of life due to breast milk exposure. Factors found to be associated with risk of vertical transmission included duration of ART use 3 months (OR 0.19: 95%CI 0.04-0.90), mixed feeding (OR 3.68: 95%CI 1.01-13.52), HAART in pregnancy (OR 0.07: 95%CI 0.02-0.28) and infant post exposure ARV prophylaxis (OR 0.19: 95%CI 0.05-0.77). Conclusion: HAART is a comparably more efficient PMTCT strategy in improving HIV free survival among exposed infants. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -These lecture notes correspond to a short course on Mathematics focusing on the differential geometry of compact manifolds, the exterior Clifford algebra of differential forms and their applications to the classical and relativist theories of electromagnetism in Physics. It is assumed that the reader already knows the definitions and techniques of the exterior calculus and the integration theorems of differential forms on manifolds and submanifolds of euclidean spaces. The text is divided in four chapters. Except Chapter 1, which is an introduction, each chapter is independent from the others. Chapter 2 studies the integration theorems that are obtained from the differential statements of classical Maxwell's equations. In Chapter 3, the Lorentz transformations are introduced to prove the relativist theorems of electromagnetism. Finally, in Section 4, Poisson's equation is introduced and solved by global integration. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Peer-Tutoring is a well established cost effective method of teaching, but most of such studies used non-disabled children as tutor, tutees may be either non-disabled or disabled children. Present book is based on an experimental study in which children with mental retardation taught number skills to their retarded juniors. Students with mental retardation attending pre-vocational class served as tutors and tutees were from primary class. Tutors were selected on the basis of their abilities to handle younger children, their social skills and their ability to communicate as observed through several checklists prepared for this purpose. Initially tutors received training for twenty sessions and then they taught tutees individually for twenty sessions. The result revealed a significant gain in number skill of tutees, and improved social and communication skills of peer-tutors. It was also evident from the findings that competencies could be improved in children with Mental Retardation to be effective tutor for younger children with mental retardation. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Inspired by an elderly woman with aphasia who loves to share stories using pictures, Amanda Legge has undertaken the task of designing a customizable, audio, photo-sharing toolkit. This toolkit, which is meant to bridge the paper and digital worlds, uses digital pens to attach audio to photos printed on special dot-pattern paper. Using rapid and re-iterative prototyping techniques to guide the design process of these audio photo-narration representations, Legge begins by exploring visualizations with both tactile and visual feedback. After gaining some initial user feedback from this pilot exploration, she goes on to create real audio prototypes of the most successful visualizations using genuine photo narratives. Usability testing on these audio prototypes exposes the visualizations best and worst features, but to ensure a proper evaluation, participants are also given the opportunity to create their own paper prototype of a personal photo. Each step of the re-iterative prototyping process reveals important insights as to the best representation of audio narrations on photos, and the chosen design ensures the creation of a successful, user-friendly, audio photo-sharing toolkit. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In quantum mechanical calculation of the transport phenomena, the major problem is the evaluation of the phase shifts. The formulae for the cross-section in Bose-Einstein statistics and in Fermi-Dirac statistics which are needed in the calculation of the transport co-efficient, are given in terms of phase shifts. The purpose of this research work is to obtain the expression for phase shifts for HCB Model. The phase shifts is the solution of the radial wave equation. The expression for the radial wave equation of a HCB Model co-ordinate system has been described first and expressed for the pair intermolecular potential specified in terms of the support function h(x) and surface-to-surface co-ordinate representation. The phase shifts have been calculated for many values of the quantum number for the orientation along major and minor axis of HCB Model. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent times, the demand for prescribed medicines has increased substantially. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) felt the burden and introduced supplementary prescribing in their system in the year 2003. The UK government authorities and other related bodies designed special courses which was required to be attended by pharmacists as well as nurses who intended to prescribe medicines. However, after the introduction of this legislation there was a need to assess whether the above legislation was beneficial or not. Limited studies exist that explore the current scenario of supplementary prescribing in the UK. This book is aimed at analyzing view of nurses and pharmacists on supplementary prescribing. Different sets of questionnaire were used to collect response from both pharmacists as well as nurses. Analysis of the data indicated unambiguous significance and increasing importance of the role of supplementary prescribing in England. 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Particle filtering has proven to be an effective localization method for wheeled autonomous vehicles. For a given map, a sensor model, and observations, occasions arise where the vehicle could equally likely be in many locations of the map. Because particle filtering algorithms may generate low confidence pose estimates under these conditions, more robust localization strategies are required to produce reliable pose estimates. In order to eliminate the low confidence estimates produced in certain environments, a multirobot system is designed to introduce mobile environment features. Tracking and controlling a secondary robot introduces a known feature in the environment which can ensure a high confidence estimate. From this knowledge, an autonomous robot can confidently navigate in even the most difficult (featureless) environments. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Drug delivery through the use of hydrogel biomaterials has received a considerable amount of progress over the past decade especially for pharmacological purposes like lung cancer treatment. However, substantial challenges for effective treatment remain including targeting and controlled release. The design of the human lung provides a unique filter system that allows large particles in the venous blood stream to get trapped in the proximal capillary beds. Gel microparticles designed for the delivery of therapeutic drugs through this mechanism in the lungs are formed through a Michael-Addition reaction using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dithiothereitol. In this book, we investigate the characteristics of PEG based hydrogels by varying the PEG concentration and molecular weight of the polymer in order to define a relationship between the rate of degradation and the crosslink density within the gel. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Recently, there have been emerging demands to analyse the function of genes from the gene expression profiles. DNA microarray is one of the most powerful tools, which enables the expression profiling of thousands of genes simultaneously. It has also proven to be an extremely valuable tool to efficiently utilize the enormous amount of information provided by the completion of numerous genome projects. Data clustering analysis has been widely applied to extract information and also to identify groups of genes or samples displaying a similar expression profile. In this experiment we have used the Affymetrix microarray Technology which is also known as GeneChip microarray. By using this Technology I have written this work on rice gene expression. In my book I have tried to find out which genes are regulated by cold stress, the genes that are affected by cold stress. The method is based on a generalized linear model. Several statistical tests have been done for the analysis and simulated datasets are used to show that the method performs substantially better than other common methods in the field. We have also used Hierarchical Clustering method to get the pattern of the unknown gene. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Social media continues to become a popular promotional platform for many businesses because of its high exposure rates and low costs. This research focused on how Moncaro, an Italian wine cooperative could use social media to communicate and promote their products to Canadian wine consumers. From various literary sources and a questionnaire, several aspects of social media usage among individuals and for marketing purposes were determined. In addition, wine consumption behavior in Canada was examined. It was identified that the use and frequency of use on social media sites like Facebook is continuously rising because of their simplicity and the enjoyment they give the user. Marketing activities have been transformed from ignored mass promotions to specialized communications that are used to create relationships with consumers. Wine consumption in Canada is at its highest and is showing no signs of declining in the near future. It was decided upon that Moncaro should adopt a basic social marketing strategy. With this strategy, unique characteristics of their wines and the Marche region are key promotional areas to use in further attracting Canadian wine drinkers. 96 pp. Englisch.
