But, with the MENA region struggling relative to the world to achieve growth it is important to identify the anchors of growth. A primary tool used to achieve economic growth is Foreign Direct Investment. But, FDI is influenced by an array of elements including the purpose of the firm's investment, whether it is market seeking, resource seeking, or efficiency seeking. This can be portrayed using various historical theories including the product life cycle, eclectic theory, market imperfections theory, and market powers theory. More, importantly these theories are broad concepts, which are based on macroeconomic factors influencing FDI. A random effects panel data study was conducted to identify the determining factors of FDI inflow into the MENA region. Based on this study's findings MENA region nations should strive to utilize these determinants to improve the competitive environment and attract FDI flow. Thus, ultimately leading to the removal of the anchors of economic growth. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work calls into question the silently-held presumption that the Latinization (i.e. the use of Latin alphabets in transcription) of indigenous languages in southeastern Nigeria is both necessary and sufficient for their orthography. The arguments presented herein aim to demonstrate the fact that Latinization has systematically excluded an entire realm of symbols and meanings which facilitate the inter-subjective transfer of ideas; realms that cannot always be navigated by relying upon transcription by way of Latin alphabets. In order to adequately address several of the weaknesses identified in the Latinized scripts, the author argues for an expanded orthography that is more inclusive and representative of the sociofacts, mentifacts and artifacts that are peculiar to southeastern Nigeria. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Despite the numerous detrimental health effects associated with cigarette smoking, the general population continues to struggle with smoking cessation. Cigarette addiction is predominantly due to nicotine, an organic compound found in all tobacco products. Nicotine is readily absorbed within the body and rapidly stimulates reward regions in the brain making it difficult for smokers to quit smoking. Nicotine replacement therapies (i.e. lozenges, patches, and gum) are a safe and suitable replacement for nicotine; however, recent devices like the electronic cigarette, which are commonly used for nicotine replacement, can still pose significant harm to the user due to concentrated doses of nicotine delivery. This publication describes the in vitro effects of nicotine on the function of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human bone marrow. Herein, nicotine is shown to significantly effect mesenchymal stem cell proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation potential. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Explosive welding is a cold pressure wilding process in which the contaminant surface films are plastically jetted of the base metals as result of high-pressure collision of the two metals. Explosive welding enables acceptably strong weld to be produced between many dissimilar and similar metal weld such as brass/steel, copper/steel, aluminum/steel, stainless steel/steel, lead/steel, high tensile steel/mild steel etc. during the high-velocity collision of metal plates, a jet is formed between the metal plates, if the collision angle and the collision velocity are in the range required for bonding. Contaminant surface films which are required for the establishment of metallurgical bond are swept away in the jet. The metal plates, cleaned by the jet action, are joined at an internal point under the influence of the very high pressure that is obtained near the collision point. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The importance of flowers can be traced back to various religious texts, folk tales and myths apart from their use in weddings. Some of the flowers were used as food and are still eaten by many tribes, while others are used as medicines. Early man also recognized the aesthetic role of flowers; in fact, some ancient cultures believed that they could appease the spirits of their ancestors by decorating their tombs with a particular type of flower. Floriculture is a discipline of horticulture concerned with the cultivation of flowering and ornamental plants for gardens and for floristry, comprising the floral industry. Once flowers are detached from the growing plants they are deprived of their natural source of water and nutrient and consequently wilt rapidly. Thus, for cut flower production, post harvest quality is a limiting factor. Hence, the study of senescence is the underlying theme of present post harvest research. 88 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In cheesemaking, to increase the intensity of the flavour of cheese, it is becoming increasingly common to inoculate pasteurized milk with selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from good quality raw milk. These selected LAB constitute starter culture (they initiate acidification, an essential step during the manufacture of essentially all cheese varieties) and adjunct culture (they play a key role in ripening). Health-promoting probiotic bacteria are included in some starter cultures to provide an additional functionality to the cheese, whose organoleptic characteristics must satisfy the requirements of consumers. In this work, we identified the isolated LAB by phenotypic and genetic tools; studied of technological properties, enzymatic activities, antimicrobial and bacteriocin activity of isolated LAB; design of indigenous starter and adjunct cultures and used them to manufacture semihard goat cheeses; determined the chemical and microbiological composition during ripening; evaluated the cheese healthy benefits by determining the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content and atherogenicity index and obtained the sensorial profile at the end of ripening (60 days). 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nano catalysis can help design catalysts with excellent activity, greater selectivity, and high stability. These characteristics can easily be achieved by tailoring the size, shape, morphology, composition, electronic structure, and thermal and chemical stability of the particular nanomaterial. Nano catalysts enjoy several advantages over conventional catalyst systems; however, isolation and recovery of these tiny nano catalysts from the reaction mixture is not easy. Conventional techniques (such as filtration) are not efficient because of the nano size of the catalyst particles. This limitation hampers the economics and sustainability of these nano catalytic procedures. To overcome this issue, the use of magnetic nanoparticles has emerged as a viable solution; their insoluble and paramagnetic nature enables easy and efficient separation of the catalysts from the reaction mixture with an external magnet. 92 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] (2n = 22) is the second most important pulse crop and plays an important role in subsistence agriculture. The fusarium wilt is one of the major diseases of concern followed by Phytophthora blight and sterility mosaic, affecting the productivity of this crop per unit area. Therefore, to minimize yield losses due to fusarium wilt, it is necessary to tackle these problems at molecular level by developing cultivars which resist/tolerate these biotic stresses and have greater recovery from damage. In present study RAPD and SSR markers were used to distinguish the 17 pigeonpea genotypes according to their resistance and susceptibility to fusarium wilt. The study also revealed that from the tendency of resistant and susceptible genotypes to cluster together, it can be inferred that these genotypes share a common phylogenetic pathway and the resistancy and susceptibility to fusarium wilt may be due to mono or oligogenes which can in turn to be targeted using more efficient molecular marker systems. 144 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book aims to gain an understanding of science teachers' practices in ICT-supported learning and teaching environments. The literature reviewed demonstrates the influence of constructivist views on science education and on the use of ICT in education. A constructivist viewpoint is utilised in this book in two aspects; pedagogical and epistemological. This book proves that the role of teachers and students is developed when integration of ICT into education. Four factors appear to be relevant to learning and teaching environments: an Engaging and Interactive Teaching Approach, Autonomy in Learning, Purposeful Assessment and Feedback and a Community of Learners. A framework has been suggested based on these factors, called the Framework for Effective Learning and Teaching in Science (FELTS). The book can provide guidance to educators, curriculum developers and decision makers who embark on using ICT-supported instruction, particularly in regard to designing instructional material, enhancing the learning environment and developing teacher competencies. 420 pp. Englisch.…
