Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Registration of images generally means finding the geometrical transformations between the images. It is an important part of image processing since it is often necessary to compose several images together. The methods available for image registration depend on whether the images are shifted only, are similar (i.e. rotated, scaled, shifted) or are distorted in a more complicated way. In this book, Hana Druckmüllerová presents the method for image registration based on phase correlation for rotated, scaled and shifted images. The method does not require that the images to be registered have the same exposure setting, it is even not necessary that the images contain clearly visible matching structures. The method is thus extremely robust and suitable for registration tasks as challenging as the registration of coronal images taken during total solar eclipses. The complete and consistent mathematical approach to the phase correlation was developed in the whole broadness for the first time. The Fourier transform and the discrete Fourier transform and its properties necessary for the phase correlation are described.

Basically, as a Indian Citizen and management writer, I have been to various malls in India which doesn't gives me any feel, just like that, as like others, I have been for shopping. After being Dubai Resident, after visiting various malls in Dubai, the destination for the shopping malls, I questioned myself, why my country is lacking in Mall Management I wished to analyse and give solution for this management issue. Therefore, I started to analyse the malls in India and Dubai. How do Dubai malls glowing in the world In addition, where should we improve Based on my analysis, I have organised this research paper into sections that scrutinizes and compares the mall concept in Indian and Dubai context, Mall Management Strategies, Life cycle of the shopping mall, how to fix the tenant in the mall, how safety should the shoppers be in the malls, at last, my research says India have to benchmark the success of malls management in Dubai¿¿ In Future, India has to be the destination of shopping malls. This dream has to come true¿. This dream will come true¿.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Internationalization of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has been shown to have big contribution to SMEs¿ growth. It is found that an SME¿s age to internationalize has a negative moderating impact on the relationship between internationalization and firm growth. This study examines the steps for SMEs, especially low-tech SMEs, to enter foreign market in the early age of the firm. Two months observation in one Taiwanese automobile parts and accessories SME and deep interview with the CEO are held. It is found that the need of human resources with international entrepreneurial orientation is the first step of SMEs internationalization process. The next step needed is international preparation. It is found that supplier relationship management and social networking are the most important elements need to be prepared in the initial stage of internationalization process. Supplier can act as piggy backing for SMEs in access resources to enter international market, whereas social networking provides the easiest way for SMEs to enter international market. It is also found that marketing management and operation management is necessary to enhance SMEs¿ internationalization performance.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Development is often looked upon in economical terms. Hence research tries to investigate how one country can produce or sell more in order to increase its GDP and thereby realize development. My work does not exclude these considerations but focuses on health as an important aspect of development. I investigate why South Africans would place their lives at risk with full knowledge of AIDS by not using freely available protection when having sex. Once an individual is lost to AIDS South Africa does not just loose an income earner to a family but years of experience, skills and that individual¿s personal networks. I suggest that the solution is not in the problem. I hypothesize that there is a historical explanation to the problem. The solution is in looking at the governing dynamics of the individual South African's unmet social needs and what informs his or her behavior. A careful historical investigation of politics, economics and private cultural behavior offers an insight on how AIDS should be approached in South Africa. In these communities the long term fear of dying from AIDS is less threatening than the immediate socio-economical threats.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The study on the impact of HIV/AIDS on the livestock-producing communities of Uganda was carried out in Kashumba and Moyo sub counties. There was no clear data that supported the impact of HIV/AIDS on livestock producing communities on labour, decision-making, grazing and watering time and factors that aggravated its effects. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaire,focus group discussion, observation guides and review of secondary data. The study showed that there was reduction in the availability of labour for grazing and watering livestock in both Moyo and Kashumba; There was shift in decision-making and implementation from ailing household heads to selected household members. There was significant negative changes in livestock grazing and sale of livestock products in households affected by HIV/AIDS compared to those non affected. Furthermore, there was reduction in grazing and watering time for livestock activities. It was observed that daily animal source foods reduced in the affected households. The study recommended that HIV/AIDS mitigation measures be intergrated in the livestock sector plans that will create HIV/AIDS competent communities in Uganda.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Climate change is an immediate and unprecedented threat to the poverty of hundreds of millions of people who depend on small scale agriculture. People living in the developing world are particularly vulnerable to climate change as a result of their high dependence on natural resources for their livelihoods, comparatively higher exposure to extreme events and widespread poverty and marginalization. Changes related to global warming in such areas have potentially serious consequences for ecosystems and people. At the same time, Small-scale irrigation development is one important rural development strategy of Ethiopian government in reducing risks associated with rainfall variability. It was also claimed that Ethiopia cannot assure food security for its population with rain-fed agriculture alone without a substantive contribution of irrigation development. Therefore, these review attempts to examine the link between Climate change adaptation mechanisms and small-scale irrigation development: its implications on poverty reduction in selected regions of Ethiopia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Since human genome studies have brought out a huge number of biosequence data, computational techniques have been developed preventing the vast of cost and time in the management process of these data. In this book, new approaches on clustering and classification methods in biosequence ¿protein, enzyme sequences¿ analysis are studied. Classification is a supervised learning algorithm that aims at categorizing or assigning class labels to a pattern set under the supervision of an expert. Therefore, the prediction of subcellular location of proteins and the classification of enzymes have been solved via data mining techniques. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that aims at decomposing a given set of elements into clusters based on similarity. Due to the fact that protein sequences have evolutionary relationship, all protein sequences can be organized in terms of their sequence similarity. A graphical illustration called phylogenetic tree can summarize the relationship between the protein sequences. The construction of phylogenetic tree is based on hierarchical clustering. Thus, we have proposed a new method as a linkage method in construction phylogenetic tree.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)is a sophisticated, quick and reliable analytical technique for the separation, identification and quantitative determination of complex mixtures of compounds in general and essential oils in particular. The volatility and polarity of essential oil components make capillary GC-MS the technique of election for their analysis. Compound identification by GC-MS is mainly based on mass spectra or by chromatographic data (Kovats indices, linear retention indices, relative retention time) measurable with FID (flame ionization detector) or TCD (thermal conductivity detector) or better by both. Enantioselective or chiral recognition (ES-GC-MS)of essential oil components is one of the most important achievements reached in essential oil analysis during recent times enabling to determine the enantiomeric excess (EE) in an essential oil sample. The present work reports the essential oil composition of some unexplored aromatic plants like Rhododendron lepidotum, Nepeta laevigata and Artemisia pallens growing in Jammu and Kashmir.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Teachers have mostly been blamed for pupils¿ failure in public examinations. Failure in examinations may be a result of pupils experiencing difficulties in learning the subject. The purpose of this study was to elicit teachers¿ and students, perceptions of the causes of pupils learning difficulties in mathematics in the secondary school. The study was conducted with both secondary and primary teachers and students in Masvingo urban and peri-urban schools. Results were compared to find out whether primary and secondary teachers held the same perceptions, and whether pupils had similar perceptions as their teachers. The study revealed that both primary and secondary teachers and their pupils perceived the type of curriculum, the availability of resources, and the type of administration in the school as contributing to the difficulties that may be encountered by pupils in learning mathematics at both primary and secondary levels There was no evidence to link the cause of learning difficulties to the child, the teacher, or the environment. A lot of schools have inadequate basic resources for learning, a situation that is impacting negatively on learning mathematics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Research Problems in Mechanical Engineering has been solved by Using Seths, B.R. Theory. From chapter seven, It has been seen that higher value angular speed required for disc without edge loading. With the effect of edge loading disc required lower angular speed. It has been seen that for incompressible material required higher angular speed for initial yielding as compare to disc made of compressible material. Rotating disc is likely to fracture by cleavage close to the inclusion at the bore. From Chapter Eight,It is found that the anisotropy of the material has little effect on radial stress but the effect is more prominent on the axial and tangential stresses for higher ratio of anisotropic constants along the radius. The results indicate the maximum stress is not always on the surface.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -To exploit the growing opportunities for commercial production of vegetables, the farmers need to change their production system from more subsistence level operation towards more market oriented production. Marketing extension service can facilitate the transition to semi-commercial and, finally, to commercial production systems. For commercialization to succeed however, public extension service requires to change its conventional production and productivity-focused service to achieve self-sufficiency to a service that fosters commercial-oriented development of smallholder agriculture. This transformation, among others, requires the facilitation of linkages among the different actors on commodity supply chain. It further demands enhancing the coordination and integration of various stakeholders. It is debatable whether the public extension in the District is playing these expected roles and, in the first place, has the required capacity to do so in terms of staff, structure, process and incentive and reward systems.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -According to some unofficial researches and my own experience in the field of teaching reading skill , I have found that some students had many problems when they were being asked to read some online text especially when they were supposed to participate in an on-line reading comprehension test. So I tried to find out the reason or reasons of this problem. The first probability for this problem was that the difference between on-line and off-line environment influenced the students' performance in an on-line reading comprehension test. The second probability that I have made for this problem was that having a high level of IT literacy had any effect on the performance of students in the on-line reading comprehension test or not. And the last hypothesis for investigating the reason of this problem was that students may have employed inappropriate strategies while they were reading on-line. All these probabilities and hypotheses have led the researcher toward formulating the null hypotheses of this study. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of on-line Reading strategies on the choice of off-line Reading strategies of Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This study investigates photography as creative practice in children¿s picturebook literature and its ability to enhance image-making by creating a hybrid that merges real and non-real worlds. Nudge's Tale, an award-winning children's environmental picturebook, is created for analysis. The photographic, narrative and research strategies executed within Nudge's Tale are discussed. Hybrid photography, an interdisciplinary merger between art and fact, creativity and ecology, is shown as a medium for reflecting animal perspectives within an environmental framework. This merger parallels the interdisciplinary movement, and resolves the paradox central to arguments about the current status of photographic realism by advocating the merger of authenticity and artistry. This study features an artistic audit of the works of Lauren Child, Shaun Tan and Dave McKean, who creatively utilise photography in contemporary pictur Elektronisches Buch and David Doubilet¿s photographic images which fuse underwater photojournalism with art.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The American Western genre in film has spanned the better part of a century, and its attributes have evolved from the classic in the early 1900¿s, to the contemporary-revisionist in the late 20th century. Traditionally, the American Western, through its revisionist subgenre born in the 1950¿s, has retained the same linear narrative structure of the classic Western as a means to deconstruct the romanticized myth of the American frontier. The revisionist Western subgenre transformed the American Western hero into the anti-hero through revealing his flaws, and the post-revisionist Western of the 1990¿s accentuated the anti-herös sense of moral ambiguity. The major aim of this study was to use the theme of emergent order in David Milch¿s Deadwood as a tool to discuss the deconstruction of the romanticized myth of the American frontier, and the reconstruction of the Western genre through the contemporary-revisionist Western.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -During the ten years that passed since the last Vertical Block Exemption Regulation and accompanying Guidelines were introduced, the global market has developed in a rushing speed, much thanks to the Internet. The growing online markets have created enormous opportunities, as well as problems, by shrinking the world and completely change the possibility to control markets. Therefore, the treatment of online distribution was at heart of the discussion when the old rules were to be reviewed. The main issues approached were the application of the concepts of ¿active¿ and ¿passive¿ sales on the internet and the ways in which suppliers may restrict the online behaviour of their distributors within exclusive and selective distribution systems. The work highlights the debate between the promoters for selective distribution systems on one side and the so called pro-internet lobby on the other. It further evaluates the new Vertical Block Exemption Regulation and accompanying Guidelines regarding their treatment of selective distribution and makes a prospective examination of the view on selective distribution in European Competition Law, especially regarding online sales.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Although African countries are parties to various treaties that recognise socio-economic rights, these species of rights remain largely perceived as non-justiciable. Even where such rights are made positive constitutional rights, little or no jurisprudence has developed therefrom. The fall-out has been the devaluation of socio-economic rights in Africa. This book makes a strong case for placing socio-economic rights squarely on the African human rights agenda. Apart from the fact that socio-economic rights are human rights in themselves, the author argues that civil and political rights are better protected if socio-economic rights are accorded equal importance within African legal systems. The author stresses the need for the systematic development of expansive strategies incorporating more sectors of the society, developing alternative understanding of law, or using a mix of judicial and other methods. The book emphasises the need for multi-dimensional approaches, anchored by the civil society, which would ensure that the development of human rights is linked to the reinforcement and implementation of existing norms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Caste discrimination is both a global phenomenon and of global concern. Caste imposes enormous obstacles to their full attainment of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Under various caste systems throughout the world, caste divisions also dominate in housing, marriage, and general social interaction ¿ divisions that are reinforced through the practice and threat of social ostracism, economic boycotts, and even physical violence. Often, rigid social norms of purity and pollution are socially enforced through strict prohibitions on marriage or other social interaction between castes. But the old patterns of caste system are changing rapidly for various reasons. That¿s why I select this topic and try to know about the changing trend in the caste system in details.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.
