The analysis is based mainly on simulations by TSIS-CORSIM, which is a microscopic software package and can indicate different driving behaviors under distinct exit ramp types. More detailed, twenty four field sites in the State of Florida are selected for data collection, different ramp effects and guidance for selecting optimal exit ramp type are concluded, issues related to ramp sections and crossroad sections are also demonstrated. And, minimum ramp length and minimum distance between ramp terminal and downstream or upstream intersections are calculated. Finally, design guidance is presented for applications in order to determine proper types under different prevailing conditions. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the effect of cultural values on consumer spending among U.S.-born consumers, and newly migrated Chinese and Indians consumers living in the U.S. Comprehensive research conducted by Geert Hofstede and Michael H. Bond (1988) suggests that value systems vary across different culture groups specifically with regard to balancing current and future goals. Charles Heath and Jack B. Soll's (1996) research shows that recent purchase activity results in underconsumption once mental budgets (or spending accounts) have been depleted. Joining these two propositions, Dr. Harris argues that differences in underconsumption levels among U.S.-born, Indian, and Chinese consumer groups occur due to differences in cultural values--specifically the long-term value orientation. Comparative analysis of results for each of these groups indicates that differences in underconsumption are driven by the strength of the long-term value dimension. It is suggested that managers consider cultural differences in addition to recent purchase activity when analyzing consumer spending patterns to ensure maximum benefit from promotional efforts. 128 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The deep web is the content that is dynamically generated from data sources such as databases or file system. Unlike surface web where web pages are collected by following the hyperlinks embedded inside collected pages, data from a deep web data source is guarded by a search interface and only can be retrieved by queries. The amount of data in deep web exceeds by far that of the surface web. This calls for deep web crawlers to excavate the data so that they can be used, indexed, and searched upon in an integrated environment. Crawling deep web is the process of collecting data from search interfaces by issuing queries. One of the major challenges in crawling deep web is the selection of the queries so that most of the data can be retrieved at a low cost. This work first comprehensively introduces the state-of-art work in query selection techniques for crawling, then in-depth analyzes the remaining problems, such as cold start problem and return limit problem, and finally presents a novel technique to address them. 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The problem of describing the evolution, stability and equilibrium shapes of a fluid droplet immersed in another viscous fluid and subject to different forces has provided the scientific community, for more than three centuries, with an endless source of inspiration and challenges. The origin of this area of study dates back to the theories of Isaac Newton that explain the Earth's shape as a self-gravitating mass of fluid rotating in space, and the experiments designed by the belgian physicist Plateau between 1843 and 1869 to validate Newton's work. Over the last decades, models for drops subject to forces have been applied to develop many industrial processes such as tensiometry techniques, electrospraying and Field Induced Droplet Ionization spectrometry among others. The main goal of this book is to answer how rotation influences the evolution of a conducting drop that could be charged or subject to an electric field parallel to the rotation axis. This study combines full numerical simulation with an adaptive Boundary Element code and asymptotic analysis, and describes with precision the formation of singularities (Taylor cones or drop breakup) at the drop's interface. 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Liberalization' is not just some policy option that the government chooses, like choosing a particular tariff rate or a particular price policy. It is a major episode in the history of class struggle. It corresponds to a new phase of world capitalism with new class configurations. To discuss the effects of 'liberalization' without taking into account this entire class context, in terms exclusively of textbook propositions about the benefits of trade is both naive and banal. The thrust of the present wave of 'liberalization' which is sweeping the entire third world is three-fold: to shift the balance away from the workers, peasants, petty producers and even small capitalists towards large capitalists both domestic and foreign; to shift the balance away from domestic capital in general towards foreign capital; and to shift the balance away from capital-in-production towards capital-as-finance. To be sure, different countries are at different stages in this process, which is carried forward by a combination of forces driven by international finance capital whose chief spokesmen are the Bretton Woods institutions. 52 pp. Englisch.

Every part of the tree is useful to human life for some purpose or the other. Hence, the coconut palm is endearingly called kalpavriksha meaning the tree of heaven. It provides food, drink, fuel and timber. Millions of families in India depend on coconut for their Livelihood either directly or indirectly. India ranks third in area and production of coconut in the world. The copra obtained by drying the kernel of coconut is the richest source of vegetable oil containing 65 to 70 per cent oil. Coconuts are generally classified into two general types: tall and dwarf. On very fertile land, a tall coconut palm tree can yield up to 75 - 100 fruits per year, but more often yields less than 30, mainly due to poor cultural practices. Traditional areas of coconut cultivation in India are the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra, Orissa, West Bengal and islands of Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar. Four southern states combined account for almost 92% of the total production in the country: Kerala (45.22%), Tamil Nadu (26.56%), Karnataka (10.85%) and Andhra (9 %). 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Most analytical calculation techniques of the stress state in multi-structural elements (MSEs) are based on the assumption that the layers are deformed only in the direction of the load applied. Consequently, deformations in the perpendicular directions do not appear, or in case they do, the deformations are equal, and therefore, have no impact on the stress state. It is well-known that materials do not only exhibit deformations in the direction of the force applied, but in perpendicular directions as well. MSEs are made of materials with different mechanical properties; therefore the deformations of the layers in transverse directions also differ. As a result, strains emerge in those directions. Consequently, the layers of MSEs are subjected to a complex, multi-axial stress state. The subject of the present work is MSEs with a rectangular and circular/annular cross section, subjected to the axial load, internal pressure and change of the temperature. Materials of the layers are isotropic, homogeneous and linearly elastic. The MSEs considered are made of layers with the thickness much smaller than their width/length. 64 pp. Englisch.

I deductively analyzed 21 transcripts of interviews with male youth who self-identified as having participated in youth gang or drug trade activities. Focusing on themes salient to self-governance as advanced in the work of Alan Hunt and Gary Wickham (1994), this research addresses questions on how these youth think about, and on how efforts by child protection and criminal justice authorities contribute to their persistent involvement in violence. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Conventional exchange rate models are known for their poor out-of-sample prediction relative to random walk. Different models seem to perform differently for different subsamples, forecast horizons, and exchange rates. Hence, there is intrinsic uncertainty about which forecasting model should be adopted. First chapter proposes factor combining technique for nesting all alternative models into a general one that outperforms each individual model. Factor combined forecasts demonstrate that all bilateral exchange rate models are misspecified due to the omission of common factors. The combined forecasts capture the statistical effect of the omitted factors and outperform random walk across forecast horizons; and, they are as accurate as those of best individual models for each forecast horizon. The rest of the book provides evidence that including four empirical factors significantly improves forecast accuracy and stability of best models for longer horizons. We find some evidence that the set of four empirical common factors sufficiently corresponds to the unknown common factors for long-term prediction; and reduces the uncertainty about optimal predictive models over long horizons. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dual nationality has been a subject of intense discussion and debate in several countries of the world, but there is surprisingly little research covering the entire range of evidence and issues stemming from this reality. In line with the global trend of increased mobility of business and professional staff, many births take place involving parents from two different countries or on the soil of those countries that automatically give citizenship to anyone born there. Moreover, a large number of people have been seeking the nationality of another country due to several social, economic and political reasons. Dual nationality problems require a humane and rights-based solution, for uniting families and providing legal protection fairly to all those who are in need of it. Implementing legal reforms nationally and in the international arena to provide protection to all human beings in need of the nationality status without any kind of bias or prejudice is the single most important determinant of global security and sustainability. 160 pp. Englisch.

Discussed approach of representation comprises two main contributions: Firstly, the introduction of a discrete--time nonlinear model grounded on physiological considerations that explains better the dynamics of the brain neural activity. Secondly, the inclusion of estimation of time varying parameters that allows the enhancement of the nonlinear model, making it suitable for electroencephalographic source localization of such abnormal neuronal activity as epileptic seizures. The estimation that is performed using proposed nonlinear dynamic models with time varying parameters provides an improvement in terms of reconstruction error, if comparing with similar referred linear approximations. 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Benedict O Donohoe and Roy Elveton titled their book Sartre s Second Century (2009) stating the twentieth-first century is very possibly Sartre s second century, for his philosophy continues affecting the minds of people. Jean-Paul Sartre s existential philosophy concerns the free human individual, particularly his possibilities to continuously create his own identities. Human existence is never defined by objects, and he is only determined by his own actions. As long as he is alive, he possesses this freedom and never ceases to project himself into the future. The undefined nature of human existence is conceived as human beings on the move. A study of this sense as it is revealed in the art helps us feel and embrace the fundamental core of Sartre s thought. This book examines works of American novelist Walker Percy, painter Edward Hopper, and director Mike Nichols with special attention to the depiction of the human being as a conscious being who is keeping a sense of wonder so as to stave off the everydayness, who is imagining a new world into the unknown so as to demonstrate his strong interiority, and who is searching for a true life so as to exhibit his authenticity. 240 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This quantitative research study's focus was to determine if organizational emotional intelligence (OEI) was a valid predictor of organizational performance (OP) in the real estate industry. It built upon the organizational emotional intelligence research but with an organizational performance perspective. An organization's holistic capabilities as opposed to the individual's positional knowledge, skills, and abilities are the true strength of how a high performance company maintains their edge over their competitors. Bradberry and Greaves' Emotional Intelligence Appraisal (EIA), the researcher-designed Subjective Organizational Performance Assessment (SOPA) and SOPA-X, with Dubois and Rothwell's Developing the High Performance Workplace (DHPW) were utilized to assess Northern Virginia Real Estate organizations. The statistical analysis of the data (n = 210) explored the correlation between OEI and OP; between the OP assessment tools; and between OEI and years in the real estate industry, gender, age, and level of education. At the end of the statistical process, the researcher concluded OEI was a valid predictor to OP at a 0.05 significance level. 136 pp. Englisch.

VRP relates to the problem of providing optimum service with a fleet of vehicles to customers. It is a combinatorial optimization problem. The objective is usually to maximize the profit of the operation. However, for public transportation owned and operated by government, accessibility takes priority over profitability. Accessibility usually reduces profit, while increasing profit tends to reduce accessibility. In this research, we look at how accessibility can be increased without penalizing the profitability. This requires the determination of routes with minimum fuel consumption, maximum number of ports of call and maximum load factor satisfying a number of pre-determined constraints, i.e. hard and soft constraints. The hard constraints are travel time, travel distance and the restriction that a route must contain at least one fuel port. Soft constraints concerns with ship draft and load factor. 144 pp. Englisch.

Two studies were conducted to support development and evaluation of the cross-cultural applicability of this model. In the initial study, differences between 200 Japanese and Canadian male and female relationship partners were assessed using cross-culturally validated and reliable relationship. Culture-sensitive recommendations to complement EFT intervention strategies were made to account for these differences prior to EFT implementation in this population. In a second study, an outcome and process study employing culturally-sensitive EFT interventions was conducted using three Japanese couples. This study is significant in that it is the first to empirically evaluate the cross-cultural validity of EFT. The model is predicated on the notion of attachment as a universal process. 104 pp. Englisch.

Several Dramatists and playwrights have tried to explore the mind on stage. This work documents and critically reflects upon the development of the new play Choices, which attempts to do just this. It also comments upon the difficulties that writers face when attempting to dramatize internal thought processes. Drawing on the methods of writers such as Bond, Shaffer, Penhall and Kane in resolving these difficulties. Particular attention was paid to formatting, signposting the difference between subjective versus objective reality, repetition of imagery and motifs, distortion of character's lines and staging. These components come together to provide both a descriptive and instructive narrative on the creation of abstract theatre regarding the contents of the human mind. 92 pp. Englisch.

There could be different implications for prevention and treatment depending on the order in which they occur. A survey was given to 159 participants ages 11 to 25 to examine the relationship between running away and corresponding risky behaviors. Results indicated that there was a significant association between a perception of physical abuse and running away, but no association between a perception of sexual abuse and running away. Adolescents used drugs more often after running away than they did before running away, but they did not engage in prostitution any more frequently after running away than they did before running away. Results also showed no differences in rates of either substance abuse or prostitution among various conditions. This study indicated that running away could create or exacerbate risky behaviors in adolescents. Prevention and intervention services for child abuse and dealing with runaways, as well as outreach efforts for adolescents who are currently homeless, need to remain a priority for policymakers. 100 pp. Englisch.
