This work offers three principal contributions to cross-cultural management research. First, it underscores the diversity of this stream, which is not only multi-disciplinary but also multi-paradigmatic (positivist, interpretive, critical and post-modern). Second, it explains how researchers can actively respect and fruitfully engage with this paradigm diversity. This is done with "interplay", a multi-paradigm research strategy. The challenges...

There is an increasing interest in alternative energy sources as the fossil fuel reserves like petroleum, charcoal and natural gas are limited and utilization of these fuels creates environmental pollution. The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a new form of renewable energy technology that can generate electricity from what would otherwise be considered waste. In an MFC, bacteria are separated from a terminal electron acceptor at the cathode so th...

Investigation of the physical properties on an n- type GaP single crystal semiconductor compound is given. The magneto-optical properties, magneto photoconductivity, Hall effect as well as Seebeck and Nernst effects are measured for the same sample. A constructed basic experimental set-up for conducting these measurements is shown. An optical cryostat which is capable to control the sample temperature in the range of (200-340 K) is shown. The ...

Multimedia applications requires QoS based routing methodologies. Routing is an NP Hard Problem. Hence Artificial Intelligence techniques will be required to solve such problems. Ant Colony Optimization can be used to enhance routing using multiple QoS parameters. ACO is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. Each ant is an autonomous agent that constructs a path....

The pursuit of economic growth supported by growth-centred development in the post-Second World War period has coincided for many with a worsening human condition, violation of human rights, marginalization, gaping inequalities, and rapid increase in rural income diversification measures. Deliberate shrinkage of the agriculture sector has left a huge number of small farmers in the South marginalized and displaced. International trade rules, tr...

An indispensable source-book for the research scholars working in the field of heterocyclic chemistry especially flavanones, pyrazolines and isoxazolines. This book describes the synthesis of some newly substituted 1, 3-propanedione, 3-aroyl flavanones, 1- substituted 3-5-diaryl - 4aroyl pyrazolines and 1- substituted 3-5-diaryl-4- aroyl isoxazolines. The special feature of the book is that syntheses have been described along with their probab...

Mississippi Ave. is a vibrant cultural district nestled into the Boise neighborhood on the north side of Portland, Oregon. Today its trendy boutiques, food carts, restaurants, and bars bustle with shoppers, providing an excellent place to purchase vintage clothing, attend a live music concert, or have an afternoon stroll. However, this was not always the case. Boise - along with many of Portland''s historically African American north/inner-nor...

In recent years, there has been significant interest in the utilization of natural materials for nanomaterials which impact a broad range of fields including tissue engineering, smart textiles, electronics, energy, coatings and more. Natural polymers such as silk, have received renewed interest due to their unique properties and potential applications. Silk fibers are traditionally 10-20 µm in diameter. This book researches the scientific impl...

Nowadays, our classical system, which leads us to systemic crisis, is deeply criticized. Fortunately, sometimes, utopian visions give us a hope of alternative. Nevertheless, propositions of the modalities to reach this society transformation through piloting tools are still marginal. Only a nonconformist microcosm is dealing with the integral metamorphosis of our economic and monetary systems towards a new paradigm of wealth valuation for a pe...

Approaching the house as a sign of identity from a semiotic point of view gives us the chance to investigate the way in which the house signifies on different levels. By approaching the concept of the Victorian house semiotically and culturally, we intend to emphasize such aspects as: generally, a house is a cultural product of a certain society in a certain age, the interactions and relationships among the inhabitants of the house and the inh...

The book covers almost all aspects of Tourism in Assam, a state in north-eastern region of India with unparalleled diversity of both nature and culture. Seeing tourism as a tool for regional development, the book addresses the local issues of tourism from the global perspective. It thus encompasses the trend tourism in global, national and state context, and deals with tourist resources, consumer behaviour and tourism potentiality of as many a...

This is currently the best book covering the relationship between genome and computer architectures." - JOHNATHAN BARTLETT, Author / Publisher / Speaker / Director of Technology ----- This book highlights the informational aspects of life that are generally overlooked or ignored in chemical and biological evolutionary scenarios. Each cell of an organism has millions of interacting computers reading and processing digital information, using dig...

Make each quilt as unique as the loved one receiving it] Who made it a rule that all cuddly, snuggly quilts have to be odes to bunny rabbits? Anyone would love to snuggle under one of these easy-to-make quilts. The Crafty Ol' Broads, authors of Beyond the Block, are well-known for quilting outside the box. They've done it again in this packed-with-projects book based on 18 quilts they have made for their own kids and grandkids. Plus, each quil...

This book explores the factors that stimulated and supported the Workers' Party's electoral expansion in Brazil since the late 1980s.

Dieses Grundlagenwerk bringt eine umfassende Darstellung der seelischen und körperlichen Krankheitsursachen und der dazugehörigen Heilmittel. Systematisch werden alle Organe des Körpers und ihre Krankheiten beschrieben. Hildegard benennt dazu jeweils ein wichtiges Universalheilmittel, das in der Lage ist, den ursprünglich heilen Zustand wieder herzustellen. Grundlegend sind Lebensführung, Diätetik und Arzneimittelschatz sowie Ausleitungsmethod...
