Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Environmental problems are one of the main challenges on the African continent in the 21st century. Focus is gradually shifting from politics, wars, HIV- Aids, and poverty to environmental issues. Africa has contributed less than any other region to greenhouse gas emissions that are widely held responsible for global warming, but the continent is also the most vulnerable to the consequences. Environmental challenges are aggravated by population growth in Africa, at approximately 2.2% annually; sub-Saharan Africa has one of the world¿s fastest growing populations. By the year 2025 the population of Africa is estimated to be over a billion. This means that environmental problems could double or triple. Like increased populations, poverty, another major problem on the African continent, also leads to a greater exploitation of natural resources for survival, and this worsens the environmental problems with the degradation of agriculture and arable lands, and mismanagement of available water resources The socioeconomic impact of environmental deterioration on Africa continues to pose a major problem to development, sustainability and health. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The 1/11 changeover of 2007 resulting in formation of military backed Caretaker Government (CTG) emerged as the most hotly debated issue in Bangladesh politics. Late 2006, Bangladesh experienced an unprecedented turmoil and brutality done by the opposition party in the wake of the power transfer and the political situation over 9th parliamentary election turned so chaotic that it called for such stern action. On 11 January 2007, The President of Bangladesh declared a state of emergency and postponed general elections scheduled to be held on 22 January 2007, under pressure from the military and Western diplomats - an event known in Bangladesh as 1/11 - bringing to an end of fifteen years of formal democratic rule. The military installed a CTG which conducted elections on 29 December 2008 after two years of emergency. The experience of the 1/11 changeover was not good for the countrymen as they suffered from severe torture and repression during this time. The book argues that the Western diplomats played a proactive role bringing 1/11 changeover, which was one of the exceptional military diplomatic coups of the history. It also looked into the fragile democracy of Bangladesh. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Natural resources such as water and environmental attributes are valuable assets to humans. Despite the various benefits derived from these resources obtaining the appropriate price for environmental resources is a bit difficult due to the absence of market. As a result most of the time macro-economic planners fail to recognize the total value of these resources. Thus failure of the market system to allocate a price for environmental resources correctly creates the need for economic measures of values to guide policy making. This book thus analyses the determinants of households' willingness to pay for irrigation water supply by using contingent valuation and choice experiment methods. Multinomial logit, Probit and random parameter logit models were used to analyze the factors influencing households' willingness to pay and to estimate measures of welfare change for farm households. The practical analysis on environmental resource valuation would be handy to professionals in environmental and natural resources economics fields or anyone else interested in pricing of environmental resources. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Where are you from ' is a question you can't avoid as a traveller, migrant or foreigner. But what if you live in a state of which you don't feel you belong to its nation What if your national identity is not an important identity marker at all As a result of globalization, political and cultural boundaries often don't coincide anymore. This makes it very hard to define to what national culture one belongs, which is exactly the case for Hong Kongers. After having been colonized by Great Britain for over a century, Hong Kong was reunited with/returned to China in 1997. During colonial rule Hong Kongers managed to construct a very own and unique Hong Kong culture, unlike adopting a British identity or holding on to Chinese culture. Therefore nationalism is a rather confusing topic to most Hong Kongers nowadays. 'On the road towards feelings of belonging' is the result of anthropological research in Hong Kong. It helps us understand Hong Kong culture, in relation to Chineseness and Chinese culture, and ultimately questions the need for a national identity and its accompanying loyalty to a nation. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book describes findings of the study made to find out the possible effects of climate change on Boro rice, a major food grains that comprise about 60% of rice production in Bangladesh. Simulation results indicate that growth and yield of rice are directly related to temperature, CO2 concentrations, water requirement and planting dates etc. Temperature effects significantly on rice yield and the effect would be more pronounced if temperatures rise in 4°C. Very high temperatures have been predicted for the years 2050 and 2070 due to climate change which would cause yield reductions over 15 to 60 percent. Planting date also showed similar result and this would become more in future with rise of temperatures. CO2 concentrations have a positive impact on rice yield although higher level in future would compensate the adverse effects of increased temperatures to some extent, but it would not be able offset overall impact. Climate change causes significant reduction in rice yields. Development of improved cultivars suitable to withstand high temperatures (2°C to 4°C) and tolerant to water stress may mitigate the production problems projected for the next 50 to 100 years. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Genetic studies and technological edge on maize are increasingly advancing since the turn of the decade. This has come as a result of the increasing threat of pests and diseases in maize producing regions of the world. This book provides a new metric to the fungal disease, Phaeosphaeria leaf spot that has seen increased incidence and severity of epidemics in these growing areas. The author explores the inheritance of the disease and the combining ability of other secondary traits like early maturity in germplasm adaptable to Southern Africa. Thus the book confirms that phaeosphaeria leaf is a highly heritable disease combined with additive gene action and earliness is a moderately heritable trait. Hence, scientists, maize breeding houses and students will be able to fix resistance in their line breeding programs using novel methodologies and technologies that include marker assisted selection and recurrent selection, to generate resistant commercial hybrids. Finally, the general and specific combining abilities of phaeosphaeria leaf spot and other secondary maize traits are further discussed. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Activated T-cells are thought to play a key role in the pathophysiology by stimulating inflammation and IL-2 plays a central role in this process of T-cell activation. IL-2 has become an important drug target as it is the most powerful growth factor and activator of T cells, also known as ¿T cell growth factor (TCGF)¿, thus IL-2 inhibitors have proved useful in symptomatic treatment of autoimmune diseases like Arthritis, Psoriasis and Crohn¿s disease. To establish an effective docking protocol for virtual screening of IL-2, a comparative molecular docking study was performed. For this purpose three docking/scoring approaches (MOE, GOLD and FRED) were compared to determine their ability to reproduce the binding poses in three complexes of IL-2. Docking accuracy was evaluated by calculating the RMSD of the docked complexes. FRED was found to be the best in reproducing the experimental pose and placing it near the top of its ranking. The performance of scoring functions was evaluated in identification of known actives out of large database of inactive compounds. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The telecommunications industry (GSM) is experiencing a robust growth on a global scale. Advancement in this technology has removed long queues at phone booths, provided the opportunity to call anywhere, anytime and for as long as one wants with little or no expenses. Telecom service providers promote their services by giving out bonuses such as free midnight calls and cheaper call rates thereby increasing the usage of phones. This attendant increase in phone usage has generated concerns about its safety due to suspected health hazards that may be associated with exposure to mobile phone radiation. In this work we observed that exposure of experimental rats to mobile phone radiation for four (4) hours daily for two (2) months could increase the Aspartate Aminotransaminase (AST) activity as well as decrease the plasma globulin levels etc.and alter the arrangement of cells of the brain tissue of the animals when a histological study was conducted. The findings of this research are being reported to create an awareness of the danger that may be associated with long exposure to mobile phones. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved over the last decades in almost every part of the world, but approximately one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. A recent report suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%. In this book, I try to make people aware about the importance of pure drinking water. This study indicated that most of the samples were contaminated either due to one or more reasons. Only the pH, Barium and potassium value of all the samples was in permissible range while Electrical Conductivity of 100 % and Calcium of 28.57 %,TS of 71.42%,Total hardness of 85.72% and Sodium of 42.86% and Sulfate of 85.72% samples were found high than the WHO/Pakistan standards. These results compelled us to conclude that the quality of drinking water of Tehsil Mir Ali is highly contaminated and it is suggested that only treated water should be used for drinking. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We have attempted to reduce the number of checked condition through saving frequency of the tandem replicated words, and also using non-overlapping iterative neighbor intervals on plane sweep algorithm. The essential idea of non-overlapping iterative neighbor search in a document lies in focusing the search not on the full space of solutions but on a smaller subspace considering non-overlapping intervals defined by the solutions. Subspace is defined by the range near the specified minimum keyword. We repeatedly pick a range up and flip the unsatisfied keywords, so the relevant ranges are detected. The proposed method tries to improve the plane sweep algorithm by efficiently calculating the minimal group of words and enumerating intervals in a document which contain the minimum frequency keyword. It decreases the number of comparison and creates the best state of optimized search algorithm especially in a high volume of data. Efficiency and reliability are also increased compared to the previous modes of the technical approach. 60 pp. Englisch.
