Among matters of social responsibility that businesses in the corporate world are expected to address is social welfare, which includes donation. The use of and purpose for donations made by companies have been revolutionized over the past four decades. Unlike social institutions and non- profit making organizations, the aim of companies is to maximize profits. In light of inefficient social institutions, coupled with the needs of the less for...

The expression of simple epithelial cytokeratins 8 and 18 is normally seen in the embryonic cells and lost in adult squamous epithelium. CK 8 and 18 play a role in tumor progression and metastatic potential as these are expressed only in the poorly differentiated and not in well differentiated squamous cell carcinomas. It appears that increased expression of the embryonic or simple epithelial cytokeratins 8 and 18 in some way changes the pheno...

This monograph presents a coupling technique for integrating EFGM with FFEM for analyzing homogeneous, two dimensional linear-elastic isotropic, and anisotropic cracked structures subjected to mixed-mode (modes I and II) loading conditions, and unbounded domain problems. The proposed method combines the best features of EFGM and FFEM, in the sense that no structured mesh or special enriched basis functions are necessary and no post-processing ...

The following paper presents a comprehensive framework for the study and assessment of the economic potential of wireless markets in developing countries. The framework is sequential and recursive, staggered in three stages. The first stage is a macro analysis at the level of the company''s international business model. Its outcome will consist on the assessment of the positive or negative fit of the country''s wireless market within the conte...

This book undertakes a holistic analysis of President George W. Bush's 2005 Social Security Reform Campaign arguing for the option to set aside a portion of one's contributions into a personal account with several investment alternatives. The campaign represents a particularly useful example of a concerted effort by a president to persuade the nation, partly because he led on the issue so publicly. In this attempt, the President did not succee...

This book deals with the interaction between mobile telephone antenna and the human body. Where mobile telephones are typically used in close proximity to the head, significant levels of power can be absorbed. The primary effect is to cause local heating of the brain, and head tissue. This is of concern to some people who work continually with mobile telephones, and some form of "preventative" research should be done. This book presents: Brief...

Today''s business world not only believes on big business corporations like MNCs and INCs, but also equally believes on small business organization like Business Enterprises. It has been accepted by one and all that small business enterprises must be assigned a top priority in any programmed of economic development. Survey display the major part of economy in developed countries like Japan, USA, UK just because of small business growth i.e. En...

The readymade garment (RMG) industry is one of the leading industries which have transformed the country from an agricultural based economy into an export-oriented economy and it has been a leading driver of the globalisation of the economy. Despite significant growth and development, the RMG industry has been facing some problems. High labour turnover is one of them, as it severely affects business performance, the workers themselves, and dec...

The South-eastern Mediterranean was one of the least investigated areas until the last two decades. Also the hydrographic structure of the Nile Delta which is focal points for the trade, agriculture and fisheries has poorly studied. This book, therefore, provides significant contributions to a much needed understanding of water structure, masses, fluxes, balances and circulation. It investigates the changes in characteristics of the Atlantic W...

In this monograph a Monte Carlo method is applied to the controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) method for the purpose of characterising the uncertainty in 1D inversion results. Compared to other methods the Monte Carlo approach has an advantage because it provides results which include correlation between all horizontal layers. The monograph gives a detailed description of the development process of the code and the code itself. In addition...

War and Welfare are words with contradictory meanings! But how these 2 words are coined together to format the title of this book? That is the secret of a spiritual conversion of bad into good!! War is dangerous, but the post war environment should be good, comfortable and enjoyable in a welfare status. War aims for a success or win and that is the need for the economic development of every nation. The application strategies of the war are the...

The Internet is changing the way we gather knowledge and create content. Our research has studied this user generated content over the Internet and its relevance to the design process. Following in the path laid out by researchers in participatory design, this study should be considered as another example of a means for designers to perceive tacit needs by allowing for users to express their ideas freely and intuitively. By combining technique...

Uptake of the HPV vaccine has been a major health issue since its release. This study follows up on current work that suggests that higher knowledge and awareness of HPV lead to greater vaccination coverage. Emory undergraduate students participated in an online survey and follow-up interviews to gauge their perceptions of the vaccine and their views on sexual activity on college campuses under the influence of the "hook-up" culture. The aim o...

Biochar was evaluated as a soil amendment in an Arizona soil in greenhouse and field experiments. Biochar is a porous charcoal substance that when used as a soil amendment effectively removes net carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (Lehmann, J. et al 2006). Biochar production from urban, agricultural and forestry biomass can help combat global climate change by displacing fossil fuel use, by sequestering carbon in soil carbon pools, and by dram...

Dyes are an important class of pollutants, and can even be identified by the naked eye. Disposal of dyes in precious water resources must be avoided, however, and for that various treatment technologies are in use. Among various methods adsorption and biodegradation process occupies a prominent place in dye removal. In the present work, it has been deepened in the treatment of dyes in aqueous solution by means of the use of adsorption and biod...

In this book, the nonlinear dynamical systems have been considered in the view of Fokker--Planck--Kolmogorov formalism which describes the evolution of the state densities of the dynamical systems. The state densities are direct measures of uncertainty about the states of the nonlinear dynamical systems. Their relation to the system theory and the second law of thermodynamics is investigated. The mathematical origin of the second law of the th...

Priority-driven scheduling of real-time systems has attracted considerable research in the literature. The bulk of the research focuses on attempts to explore scheduling schemes that optimize a particular parameter without meticulous considerations related to the global system''s behavior. This work is concerned with the implementation of mathematical programming models developed to substantiate the effectiveness of other models.

The Bering and the Malaspina Glacier systems of south-central Alaska, U.S.A., and southwest Yukon Territory, Canada, in the Saint Elias Mountains constitute the two largest temperate surge-type piedmont glaciers on Earth. This is largest region of glaciers and icefields in continental North America. Determining and understanding the causes of wastage of these two glaciers is important to understanding the linkages of glacier mass balance to cl...

Genetic relationships of olives by RAPD Olive, originating from Anatolia, is being cultivated for thousands of years in the Aegean and Mediterranean basin and in 35 provinces of Turkey. It is important to determine genetic relationships between cultivated Manzanilla and Turkish wild olives because wild olives are resistant against diseases and adaptation conditions are higher. Wild olives can be used as a genetic resources for plant breeding.

This work provides a real-time algorithmic optimal control framework for autonomous switched systems. Traditional optimal control approaches for autonomous switched systems are open-loop in nature. Therefore, the switching times of the system can not be adjusted or adapted when the system parameters or the operational environments change. This work aims to close this loop, and apply adaptations to the optimal switching strategy based on new in...
