In den Wirren der sich auflösenden Sowjetunion konnte sich 1992 in Moldawien fast unbemerkt eine Sezession vollziehen, die eines der ärmsten Länder Europas seither spaltet. Östlich des Flusses Dnjestr konsolidierten die Transnistrier ihren eigenen Kleinstaat, der weltweit bislang keine Anerkennung fand und der sich selbst als , Pridnestrovskaja Moldavskaja Respublika' (PMR) bezeichnet.In der PMR konnte sich ein System etablieren, das unter der...

In today's complex business environment, both raising and application of fund becomes so costly. Thus, business needs to take a wise decision of investing funds in fixed facilities. NPV, PBP, IRR are some widely used tools in such situation most of which are based on projected revenues. LCC is special in a sense that it considers every cost category throughout the life of alternative projects from cradle to grave. If the amount of revenue is s...

Die Klassische Schweinepest gehört zu den wirtschaftlich bedeutsamsten Tierseuchen und kann unter natürlichen Bedingungen sowohl Haus- als auch Wildschweine befallen. Vor allem in Staaten mit einer intensiven Schweineproduktion stellt sie ein Problem dar. Mit der steten Zunahme der Schwarzwilddichte in weiten Teilen Europas ist in den letzten Jahren die Frage nach der Rolle des Schwarzwildes als Virusreservoir und -überträger mehr und mehr ins...

During the 1990s and early 2000s, Finland underwent a profound restructuring that saw it change from a country deep in recession to a global model of the knowledge economy. At the same time, the Helsinki region transformed itself into one of the most competitive regions in Europe. This book examines policy changes related to these transformations, by analysing major shifts in state policies, urban strategies and university activity. At the lev...

This book demonstrates the effects of globalization discourse on the British Labour governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. It also provides important lessons for contemporary policymakers, in the wake of a world recession that was totally avoidable but encouraged by the prescriptions of globalization discourse. The recent economic crisis has undermined core claims from the latter, both by underlining its flaws and also because internation...

Lately, anthropogenic secondary forests have entered the global conservation debates due to unprecedented rates of tropical deforestation. In places where a cash economy has been dominant for many decades, socioeconomic factors greatly affect this forest type. This book explores several related questions about the relationships between anthropogenic disturbance and the regeneration and the utilization of floodplain secondary forests in Peninsu...

This book is a self-analysis of Shelley Robinson'sown act of creative writing. In a (modified) think-aloud protocol, Robinson metacognitively reflects upon her own act of writing, working in three rhetorical forms of writing: 1) a poem(imaginative), 2) a journal entry (expressive), and 3) an article(transactional). During this research, she expands the concept ofmetacognition to become "meta-processing" in order to bettercommunicate her reflex...

In the late 1980s, the concept of embedded autonomy became central to the literature of economic development in East Asia. Rapid economic growth in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan was attributed to the state role in development (Johnson 1982, Wade 1990, Evans 1985). The state embedded itself in the social networks of the entrepreneurs. This model of the developmental state credit that the success in East Asia to the state's structure and role in...

The book addresses the theme of masculine and feminine styles of leadership in the primary schools. Emphasis is given due to a recent paradigm shift of the trend as a growing rise in the involvment of female leaders in the different leadership positions of the schools. The research results have manifested that the female leaders are exhibited employing face to face mode in their school communication and promote individualized and collegial wor...

There is a great need for education reform for a country to succeed in the field of politics, social, economic and cultural changes, as well as scientific and technological changes and transformations. Education the world over has undergone several reforms in one way or the other. The reasons for the reforms are varied and it these range from technological to economic among others. Reforms in Education come with its own challenges and implicat...

The study details the transnational migrations of a sample of professional Indian women from Durban, KwaZulu Natal within the context of their historical transition from indentureship to transnationalism, and their changing social identities. The study problematizes migration research in South Africa based on the inadequacy of national databases, specifically with regard to the invisibility of racial, gendered and occupational data pertinent t...

The liver tissue damage in the catfish was observed. Lobular arrangement and central veins were obscured. Atrophy of liver tissue with large spaces in between was obvious. Portal tract areas were congested, hepatocyte cord arrangement and shape was disturbed. Section of nematode larvae apparently viable was present in liver tissue. Proliferation of the bile duct in portal tract area was obvious resulting into bile duct hyperplasia. Liver tissu...

The social and political transition that came with the fall of apartheid in South Africa had tremendous significance for the media. The media were actively engaged in the discussion of what role they should serve in the newfound democracy. This book is the result of a research project that scrutinzed more than 100 articles that appeared in the South African press in the post-apartheid years 1996-99. Two main discourses were identified: the wat...

In 1986, Vietnam initiated its extensive economic reform program, known as Doi Moi, which saved the country - then in a devastating economic crisis - from a collapse. The introduction of market system has brought back substantial changes in both people's life and the national economy. Market mechanism, commercial institutions, private properties and capital goods ownership, free trade... have since come into existence. Gradually, financial mar...

Fisheries represent an important component of the renewable natural resources sector in many developing countries. Regardless of this key role, fishing communities in developing countries remain among the poorest. Two reasons may explain the high rate of poverty: declining fish resources, and lack of access to alternative income-generating opportunities. It may be contended that it is the lack of access to alternative income-generating opportu...

The concept of Functionally Graded Materials was proposed for severe environment application like space, thermal barrier coating etc. However, these materials had been successfully used in several fields of engineering. In these materials, properties of interest vary gradually from point to point. Understanding the fracture mechanics of these materials has been of interest to researchers to better utilize the capabilities of these materials an...

The purpose of this book is to learn the relationship among education, productivity, income distribution, and economic growth, as well as to link the structure of the educational system to the economic and social character of the society. Essay 1 examines the equilibrium levels of public and private education in a model where public and private education can exist at the same time. There is no possibility for collapse of the public education s...

Chilldown process is a complicated process involves unsteady two-phase heat and mass transfer and initiates the cryogenic fluids transport. To advance the understanding of this process, both experimental and modeling investigations have been carried. The chilldown process can be generally divided into three regions which are associated with different flow regimes and heat transfer mechanisms. Under low flow conditions, the two-phase flow durin...

This book presents a comparison of different methods for generating PVT properties of volatile oil and gas-condensate reservoir fluids determined that PVT properties generated with the Whitson and Torp method agree the best with full EOS compositional simulation. Also, a new oil-gas ratio correlation for volatile oil and gas condensate reservoir fluids is developed. According to our knowledge, no correlation to calculate oil-gas ratio exists i...
