This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Surveys of firms outside the property sector indicate the growth in the use of DCF methods such as the NPV and IRR methods to evaluate projects as compared to the use of such naïve methods as Payback and the Accounting rate of return. The growing convergence of theory and practice is indicated by the growing use of the NPV method. The objective of this study is to determine the capital budgeting methods used to evaluate real estate development projects and to compare the results of a survey with the results of other studies. The thesis finds that that over 90% of all respondents are using a combination of NPV and IRR methods most often to evaluate development opportunities. Interestingly, 85% of all respondents are also using the payback period. Other methods used are the profitability index, residual value, free cash flow, economic value, and return on equity. Developers have adopted DCF methods such as NPV and IRR as the primary methods to evaluate projects rather than naïve methods such as Payback and ARR, although these latter methods remain in use. The use of decision tree analysis and real option analysis is very limited 104 pp. Englisch.

A schematising activity is every cognitive activity whose purpose is to construct and improve symbolic representations of the physical and the sociocultural reality. This participation is studied by means of an intervention in which the effect of introduction and training of schematising in early childhood on later mathematical learning outcomes is compared to the results of a control condition in which there is no introduction of schematising. The research question is as follows: What are the effects of introducing schematising to five and six year old children in an experimental setting on their mathematical understanding at age seven, compared to the learning outcomes of pupils in a control group where children did not practice schematising activities We expected the children in the experimental condition to perform better on mathematics at the age of seven in the third grade of the Dutch educational system. The theoretical discussion and the research results indicated that learning to schematise in early childhood education is a promoting factor of later mathematical thinking. 152 pp. Englisch.

To avoid or at best manage this type of scandal this empirical study highlights the importance of an ethical culture. It examines the components (code of ethics, ethics training and enforcement mechanisms) of corporate ethics programmes most commonly used to integrate ethics into an organisation's culture. This highly readable book with its solid research basis also explores the communication channels organisations use to communicate ethical standards to employees, as this needs to be effectively communicated when integrating ethics into an organisation's culture. In this book the following are focused on: -The components of corporate ethics programmes that are the most useful to integrate ethics into an organisation's culture. -The extent to which different industries and different sized organisations find certain communications channels as more useful than other channels when informing employees about ethical information. 116 pp. Englisch.

In the 2000/01 school year, the institute estimated that 547,867 inter-national students were studying in the U.S. As a response to the high number of international stu-dents, an increasing amount of literature has addressed the specific needs, unique experiences, and acculturation patterns of these students (Essandoh, 1995; Hayes & Lin, 1994; Pedersen, 1991; Sandhu, 1995). Adjustment is defined as the process through which individuals become inte-grated into a new environment, including the satisfaction of motivations and needs. Adjustment/Acculturation research on international students has revealed that varia-bles such as perceived discrimination, use of the English language, finances, and shorter time spent in the U.S. contribute to lower levels of adjustment. The impact of declared majors, length of stay, marital status, age, and gender in the adjustment process has also been addressed in several studies, revealing conflicting results. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study explores Asian ways of understanding the Christian doctrine of the Trinity presented by Jung Young Lee and Raymond Panikkar, who establish their respective trinitarian perspectives by means of Asian frameworks of nondualsim, i.e., the East Asian yin-yang conceptuality and the Hindu Vedantic notion of 'advaita.' In their respective trinitarian perspectives Lee and Panikkar attempt to reveal that the Trinity is not only a doctrine about God but also an underlying structure of all reality. This study compares the trinitarian accounts of Lee and Panikkar in their similarities and differences by employing three comparative categories: 'the apophatic dimension of God', 'the intrinsic relationality between God and the world', and 'the kenotic trinitarian dynamism'. 344 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bach was a prolific composer, often compelled by demands of the eighteenth century to produce a constant supply of new music. But a significant number of Bach s works are borrowed or parodied versions of either his earlier compositions or the works of others. Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, scholars sought to explain why a composer with so many original compositions would find it necessary to look for inspiration in his earlier works and in the works of other composers. Some scholars thought Bach borrowed for expediency. Often times, Bach was under extreme time constraints to compose new music. By using other compositions as models, Bach could generate large amounts of music within a short span of time. But there are many other Bach parody works revealing that Bach borrowed throughout his musical career. Bach's contemporaries,including Handel, Vivaldi, and Telemann took a similar approach to composition. A survey of the parody practices of Bach and his contemporaries provides clues to eighteenth-century musical memory, which can be linked with an eighteenth-century view of music composition and performance practice. 392 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Anyone who has worked with translation in general and Bible translations specifically knows that there has been a major paradigm shift between the traditional translations, often labeled as formal equivalent, and the modern translations, commonly known as functional equivalent. And yet, it is often difficult to document in a truly objective fashion what exactly this difference is. This book seeks to begin this process by carrying out an extensive comparative analysis of ten different English translations, designed to single out through statistically relevant data the types of formal shifts which characterise this change in paradigm. The results not only point to historical differences between translations but also open up new insight into translational practice. 552 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book presents the epistemological obstacles that students at undergraduate level encounter in learning the idea of limit. The idea of limit is the cornerstone to studying both calculus and analysis. Hence work related to limits is important not only in the context in which the study was conducted but worldwide. These epistemological obstacles were investigated within the contexts of functions and sequences. Because of the nature of the limit concept, the Action Process Object Schema (APOS) theory has been used for data analysis. This is complemented by the theories from the semiotic perspective which cover data on language and symbolism that could not be explained in terms of the APOS framework. This piece of work though empirical, is backed up with some epistemological obstacles encountered in the historical development of the limit concept. Assertions made in this piece of work are well supported by empirical evidence so that the reader could gauge the validity of the results. 248 pp. Englisch.

It leaves us with a greater understanding and compassion for what it is like to live with this very complex and transformational experience. We see movement from symptom-related to life-related, noting that the general structure, or the essence of the lived experience, remains the same, but the individual experiences vary as these women live out their unique lives. In understanding the totality of the phenomenon of bulimia, it is important to remember that although each key constituent (diminished self, consciousness and anonymity, life partially lived, mastery and control, priority of the phenomenal, multiple realities) is described separately, in the life-world all the constituents merge together as they interact with each other and with the whole of the experience. This book will be especially useful to all professionals working with bulimic clients and to anyone who wants to understand the structure of bulimia and how it is lived in a woman's life. 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On the basis of four experiments described in this book, a model was proposed of the process of knowledge acquisition by elaborating expository texts, in which inductive elaborations were embedded in the internal information processing component which produces new concepts. According to this model, students with a high score on concrete elaboration utilize three pathways: abstract to abstract, abstract to concrete, and concrete to concrete. Low scoring students are confined to two pathways: abstract to abstract and concrete to concrete, with a strong preference for the latter type of elaboration. Low scoring students run the risk of accumulating concepts and examples, instead of constructing knowledge. The findings have clear implications for education: students should be engaged in concrete experiences which are the basis for inductive knowledge construction. But they should also become familiar with concepts and theories which help them to focus on the process of concrete elaboration, and, in this way, enhance the chances of meaningful induction. 144 pp. Englisch.

The degradation study basically included hygrothermal and cryogenic treatment. Study of chemical and mechanical behaviour at the interface of the fibre reinforced polymer composites is an area of research now a day. Many complex reactions occur at the interface due to moisture absorption, temperature and cryogenic treatment and very little information is available regarding the chemical deviation near the interface due to moisture absorption. Micro- composites were prepared to investigate the chemical deviation of hygrothermally samples and layered structures were prepared to study the mechanical behaviour of cryogenically treated samples. 116 pp. Englisch.

Do they conflict with each other or can they marry and benefit each other Little such literature exists. This book reveals a unique perspective to tackle this topic. Chinese artists practice in western settings in 3 ways. Most stick to their tradition or get fully westernized. A brave few endeavor to combine eastern & western paintings, resulting in creative works. This book shows an experience in bridging the two in 2 areas: aesthetic/philosophical integration & artistic processes interweaving, thus an innovative new hybrid of art works in contemporary western art context emerges. The research highlights intercultural interactions through multidirectional, multicultural & multimedia approaches. No similar experiments have taken place before. This research/experiment has generated positive thoughts in contemporary western art world. It is especially meaningful to main stream & diversified art/cultural communities in terms of mutual understanding & benefit, and to the general public fond of comparative studies of western & eastern arts and cultures. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, settlers at the Cape relied on the coerced labor of two non-European populations: slaves and Khoisan servants. While the status of these two groups were fairly similar, particularly in the tasks performed, European settlers nonetheless formed opinions about slavery and Khoisan servitude that sharply discriminated between the two. This work traces the history of the early Cape from its establishment by the Dutch East India Company in 1652 through 1795 when the British took control of the colony. It examines the reasons for the settlement of the Cape, the creation of private landownership, the expansion of the frontier, as well as the consequences these processes had for the formation of labor systems. It argues that European settlers in the Dutch period thought of slavery and Khoisan servitude as separate institutions, rather than as related labor processes, facilitating the continuation of coerced labor practices even after the abolition of slavery. This project illuminates complex coerced labor systems in southern Africa during the Dutch period and is valuable to those interested in coerced labor, slavery, and South African history. 80 pp. Englisch.

This was done in order to improved academic performance and social behaviour amongst pupils. A problem existed in that, the participants of this research had limited knowledge of what cooperative learning and multiple intelligences mean. Therefore, workshops were designed to train them to use cooperative learning infused with multiple intelligences as a teaching strategy. After two and a half years of supervised implementation, teachers reported that they had experienced a positive change in their teaching and learning experiences and that pupils' academic performance and social behaviour had indeed improved. This book therefore, provides teachers with information on cooperative learning and multiple intelligences and how they can be effectively used to improve pupils' academic performance and their social behaviour. All educators will find the sample workshops and lesson plans useful for the professional development of their staff. 212 pp. Englisch.

Socrates is presented as a paradoxical figure in the early dialogues of Plato. There are various interpretations on the nature of these Socratic puzzles and attempts to solve the riddles he presented in his dialogues with his fellow Athenians. This book analyzes the concept of Socratic paradoxes and the solutions suggested by different scholars. Related to his enigmatic nature Socrates is also associated with his ironical standpoint in the history of philosophy. In this work irony as a fundamental philosophical attitude in Socratic philosophy is discussed with reference to some of the major philosophers in the history of philosophy. This work also suggests the possibility of seeing philosophy as an ironic activity and it traces the etymology of the concept of irony in terms of its philosophical significance. 100 pp. Englisch.

Hitherto, there has been little research on gesture use in young children, but such evidence is needed at a time when, in the U.K., hand signing with preschool children has become increasingly popular. This study examines the use of spontaneous iconic gesturing in a large sample of young, preschool children (N = 121, mean age = 44.6 months, S.D = 7.8; 59 boys). Overall, we found that gestures are more frequent when children are asked to describe the function of an object when compared with object naming. In addition, girls gesture less frequently than boys when describing unfamiliar objects. 64 pp. Englisch.

As an active intellectual critic of American culture, Highsmith labored to unveil the psychological dimensions that characterized an era of expansive consumerism, political paranoia, and rigid gender roles. Her fiction disrupted prevailing conservative ideologies in its thematic treatment of homosexuality, domesticity, and capitalism. Yet in the early 1950's , after the publication of Strangers on a Train (1950), American critics relegated Highsmith's work to a 'sub-genre' status of suspense fiction which has yet to be fully challenged. While Highsmith worked in various genres throughout her prolific literary career, this reductive classification has eclipsed the complexity and literary sophistication of her political visions. This study aims to recover and reinterpret Highsmith's neglected contribution to American literature and to challenge conventional theories of criticism that continue to celebrate American literary resistance to Cold War conformity as a predominately masculinist effort. 68 pp. Englisch.

In ancient times, inoceramid bivalves managed to survive by changing their species diversity and size over one meter to one centimeter, and by replacing themselves with newly originated species in order to adapt to global environmental changes, but finally they had been extinct in the Cretaceous. However, this fact is not commonly known, although it is well-known that dinosaurs had been ruined due to ancient global environmental disturbances by an extraterrestrial impact. The author took an interest in the extremely sensitive responses of inoceramid bivalves to a variety of global environment changes, examined extensively the specimens of fossils collected in Hokkaido, Japan and made a comprehensive survey of relevant literature. The author would like to provide paleontologists, geologists, earth scientists and experts of environmental protection, as well as students and people being interested in the relevant field with those findings and information. The author is also very happy if this monograph gives some kinds of hint for protection against global environmental destruction. 80 pp. Englisch.

In this work, two techniques, IR-thermography and spatially-resolved capillary inlet mass spectrometry (SpaciMS), were used to measure temperature and gas-phase concentrations. Specifically, they were applied to monitor the axial distribution of temperature and concentration profiles during propylene oxidation over a Pt/Al2O3monolith-supported catalyst. Also, the effect of thermally aging the catalyst on the temperature and concentration patterns observed was investigated. 100 pp. Englisch.

All computer-based design tasks commence with the use of CAD systems to create detailed geometrical models. These models serve as a basis for diverse analysis tools, such as CFD and CSM, which would require another process called mesh generation to generate discrete spatial points for CFD and CSM tools to use in performing analyses. The accuracy of the analysis depends on the geometrical fidelity, the quality of the meshes, and the accuracy of the mathematical models. Any of these steps can often become a hurdle that requires tedious user interactions and parameter modifications. This work is an effort to address this issue, primarily by designing, modeling, and meshing complex patterned and repetitive geometries, such as springs or cardiac stents, using parametric geometry design and template mesh generation approaches. 76 pp. Englisch.

Through a rhetorical analysis of DTCA pharmaceutical product advertisements, this study demonstrates how the persuasive effects of content and visual images may promote perceived health knowledge which could be having a significant effect on consumer behavior. By combining the rhetorical visual analysis developed by Sonja Foss and the rhetorical depiction analysis developed by Michael Osborn, this study will reveal the persuasive and emotional processes for promoting pharmaceuticals through rhetoric which utilizes metaphors of nature, health, education and beauty to influence and create perceived health knowledge; an effect that is contributing to a cultural shift in consumer behavior related to health care. These results emphasize how DTCA both exemplifies and shapes a consumer-driven health care system. 108 pp. Englisch.

The problems incorporate a prescribed body force B which delivers live loading and a non- convex stored energy function of the strain W. The continuity and differentiability requirements over W and B are standard. Assuming that B is concave and under mild growth conditions on W and B, we obtained existence of minimizers for the functional in the problems posed. Then we showed that the minimizers satisfy the Euler-Lagrange equations of equilibrium almost everywhere. 72 pp. Englisch.
