Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -TB patients can be offered an HIV test; indeed , research shows that TB patients are more likely to accept HIV testing than the general population. This means that TB programmes can make a major contribution to identifying eligible candidates for ARV treatment. Many people , including those living with HIV, do not know that TB is curable. This is a basic message and one thing that is failing to get through. We should know how to get the message to policy- makers and funders that more drugs are needed for both diseases. It is not 'either/or', there is no point providing ARVs only for patients to die of TB for lack of TB resources. Similarly , TB efforts alone are insufficient. HIV/AIDS is dramatically fuelling the TB epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, where up to 70% of TB patients are co-infected with HIV in some countries. For many years efforts to tackle TB and HIV have been largely separate, despite the overlapping epidemiology. Improved collaboration between TB and HIV/AIDS programmes will lead to more effective control of TB among HIV- infected people and to significant public health gains. 52 pp. Englisch.

Emergence of the Georgian ecclesiastical writings is related to the early epoch of spreading of Christianity. Therefore, canonic that was typical for the Christian Church of certain specific period should be taken into account during the research. Such Canonic had been also considered in hagiographical works. As it is known, the hagiographical works had always been created for reading in the churches. Praising of a saint, martyr used to conduct for strengthening belief of believers. At first, Christianity was a persecuted religion with small number of believers. Authors of hagiographic works aimed at strengthening their belief. Due to this, the main character of the hagiographical work was to be an ideal person for the rest of the Christians.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The geological features of the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation are based on the same criteria as for the Quaternary glaciation. The author¿s many years of research have proved that the ¿exaration¿ types of the relief of the Quaternary fiords, skerries, lake basins in bedrock, drumlins, foreheads, polished rocks, furrows on bedrock ¿ all this formed by the disjunctive dislocations. They occupy their normal place in the ensemble of paragenetic structures that accompany faulting. Extremly favorable conditions for the development of terrestrial vegetation were created in the Carboniferous period. And the climate of the Permian period was generally the warmest of the formerly dominant Paleozoic. The results of the drilling land ice (up to subglacial surface) in Antarctica and Greenland are of special, unique importance. It turned out that instead of moraine-containing ice mass, as if filled with huge blocks and boulders,only inclusions of sandy-loamy and fine-earth substance are recorded in the continental ice. An important function of glaciers is the conservation of the subglacial geological-topographic surface.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book interprets the concepts of stroke and the Balkans localities. The first five years of the prevention of CVD program in Novi Sad (1975-1979, CCCCP) proved the feasibility of a project well planned combining research and practical intervention. It emphasizes the promotion of CVD diagnosis and therapy, of early detection and treatment of the diseased and those at risk, as well as of long-term preventive measures aimed at improving lifestyles. At the Collaborating Center of the WHO MONICA project in Novi Sad, the research results of Stroke epidemiology during the period 1983 ¿1992 y. were successful, but the results of Stroke epidemiology later show that with the war in the neighboring countries, decrease of general life standard of population, and economic sanctions imposed by United Nations, this beneficial trend has reversed and rates have increased continually, especially after the NATO alliance aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999. The results of the WHO MONICA project in Novi Sad are undergoing the final analyses and tests of hypotheses, and they are published in the most reputable world medical journals.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The book contains four chapters. The first one deals with elementary problems of one dimensional quantum mechanics of scalar particles, and their solution is given by much more simpler method than in standard textbooks. Attention should be paid to problems with periodic potentials. In the second chapter methods of one-dimensional quantum mechanics are applied to three-dimensional scattering problems. Here a new approach to the dynamic diffraction theory based on multiple wave scattering method is proposed. Diffraction on a crystalline plane is solved exactly, and is shown to vanish in contradiction with experimental observations. In the third chapter, all the problems of the first one are generalized to spinor particles. The most interesting questions are related to polarization of particles and rotation of polarization by means of radio-frequency fields, which create superpositions of states with different energies and speeds. The fourth chapter is devoted to fundamental questions of quantum mechanics. The theory of 'weak measurements' is criticized. Some experiments related to wave packets and to determination of quantization axis of non polarized neutron beams are proposed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Following the discursive approaches in Social Sciences, in particular in Social Psychology, two Major Critical Incidents in the Portuguese Revolution of 1974 are analysed in this essay. By studying the political rhetoric of the two major left wing parties, the Socialist Party and the Portuguese Communist Party, he tries to sort out the dividing lines in the left spectrum at the time, while also reflecting on today¿s status, where a political alliance allows a minority socialist government to rule the country, supported in parliament by the other left wing parties. This left coalition is implementing policies aimed at reversing the ultra-liberal policies imposed by the Troika and compounded by the previous neo-liberal government, whose premier intended to go ¿farther than¿ the Troika agenda. Such policies resulted in a serious impoverishment of the Country, precarious jobs, a massive emigration among the young, the privatisation of key economic sectors and of utilities and public services, such as the Portuguese Postal Service (Correios de Portugal). The author shares a final piece of reflection on the current alliance and of the Portuguese Left (namely the Socialist Party).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Increasingly comprehensive maternal morbidity and mortality data in the United States has revealed stagnating or worsening rates of poor maternal outcomes during childbirth, including stark disparities based on maternal race and ethnicity. This prompts a call to action to improve obstetric care across the nation and review clinical indicators that have been proposed to measure the quality of care during childbirth. This systematic review of the literature examines both published and unpublished literature from both domestic and international sources to compile a comprehensive list of proposed clinical quality indicators for obstetric care. The indicators are then categorized by clinical area, and descriptive characteristics of indicators are presented. A discussion of the indicators centers on the advantages and disadvantages of specific indicator characteristics, as well as the variations in indicator characteristics based on the indicator source. The book concludes with implications and recommendations for clinicians and policymakers, and outlines opportunities for further research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Since its inception, remote sensing plays a major role in monitoring the earth surface. The thematic information with signature is used to differentiate between water bodies, vegetation and man-made structures or to investigate a particular phenomenon. This book concentrates mainly on the vegetation analysis using satellite image processing and also studies the leaf images for analyzing the plant growth. Plant growth monitoring is an essential requirement in the vegetation study. As a special case, image analysis of tea leaf and bud is done for predicting the optimal plucking time of the tea bud.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be dark and merciless. This new theory will break with the ancient concepts over more than 2000 years old. This new theory will be avoided by any physicist who respects himself and has been respected by his colleagues. How dare somebody to claim that we think in the wrong way already over more than 2000 years. It is like cursing in the Holy Church. The Holy Church of Physics. But this theory is already spreading over the internet like an indestructible bug. And when the morning rises, Physics cannot deny anymore the question: Is Physics following the right path of human logic or is Physics a mind blowing expensive trip in the non-existing worlds of illusions Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Facial Expression Recognition(FER) has been one of the fast developing areas due to its wide range of applications in the areas of human-computer interaction, emotion analysis and so on. Due to the increase need in the use of robotics in security, entertainment, health care and household, the field of pattern recognition becomes one of the areas of research interest. In the design of human computer interaction, the robots can interact with humans by interpreting human gestures and facial expressions in more natural manner, so that it can respond more appropriately during tasks where the two must work together. Robots can also detect deceit during interrogation of criminals in security areas, using micro expressions. This work investigated FER using Principle Component Analysis(PCA), Local Binary Pattern(LBP) and Gabor Wavelets Transformg(GWT) approaches with K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN) and Support Vector Machines(SVM) as classifiers. Japanese Female Facial Expression and Mevlana University Facial Expression databases were used.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -An innovative teacher is constantly looking for new opportunities. A professional education is not enough; an innovative teacher must be creative, communicative, empathetic, understanding, and, what¿s more, highly motivated. Environment and Human desire for creativity constantly set the teacher to face new challenges. In Slovenia, there is still a lot of space for innovation and creativity in the area of pre-school education and further education. I see innovation as an incentive for creativity, thinking outside of »established patterns«. That is why I found my creativity in making didactic toys. By designing didactic toys I want to present my innovation and develop my artistic talent. This led me to realize that educators are the best experts in terms of the choice of toys, due to necessary knowledge about children's development, we also know their needs and interests as well. What is more, we spend with them the most quality part of the day.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The history of Huaxia (Chinese: ¿¿ , a historical concept representing the Chinese nation and civilisation) is full of wars. Various weapons were developed that are suitable for ground combat with horse-drawn vehicles. The weapon Ge (Chinese: ¿) was already used before the Qin Dynasty (ca. 221¿206 BC), and disappeared around 25 AD (at the end of Western Han Dynasty). This type of weapon has not been used in other regions of the world. In about the same period, a weapon commonly referred to as the weapon axe was used in the ancient wars outside Ancient China (also called the Middle Kingdom), such as in Mesopotamia (the area of the Tigris¿Euphrates river system). However, this weapon axe is different from the weapon Ge, although there are some similarities. This book provides an in-depth study and analysis of the reasons for the historic use of this rather unique weapon Ge, of its development in Ancient China, and of its influence on both military and civil culture. It may help both Eastern and Western people to better understand Chinese cultural development and its military history.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
