The monograph describes the identification and characterization of Arabidopsis Kin2 family homologs from varieties of cold resistant Brassica oleracea. Genomic and cDNA analysis identifies a common domain - Kin Homology Domain (KHD) to club them in a growing family of proteins potentially involved in cold resistance. These proteins appear to have adapted to disregulated pattern of expression for resistance against sudden exposure to extreme co...

Ischaemic preconditioning is a phenomenon where brief periods of ischaemia and reperfusion prior to a prolonged episode of ischaemia have a protective effect on tissue. Ischaemic preconditioning has been demonstrated in every animal species tested and many different tissues, including human myocardium (Yellon et al, 1993), (Hausenloy et al, 2007). Many different patterns of ischaemic preconditioning have been tested (Kloner and Jennings, 2001 ...

In this work, 14 emotions, including 6 full-brown emotions: anger, boredom, fear, happiness, neutrality, and sadness, 8 underlying emotions: anxiety, despair, disgust, gratefulness, love, praise, shame, and surprise, are explored for emotion recognition study using speech processing and pattern recognition methods in the emotional space theory. A new emotional corpus, Mandarin Chinese Emotional Corpus 2010 (MCEC2010), is built up by 34 profess...

The presented study was conducted in selected areas of central highlands of Ethiopia to evaluate the hygienic practices being carried out by the small holder dairy farmers of various dairy products including raw milk. The aim of the study was to determine the microbial and chemical properties of milk and asses the marketing situation of milk and milk products. The study was carried out with 173 smallholder dairy farmers, 74, 50 and 49 responde...

Evaluation of cockpit design is the main theme of this book. The flight deck is the ultimate human-machine interface application. It uses human senses of touch and sight in a safety-critical situation. Cockpit displays and the controls are sophisticated human machine interface applications. Display systems, present at cockpits are complex environments causing excessive mental workload and the consequences of errors can be catastrophic. Human e...

Just like other countries in Europe and America, currently Tanzania has been noted to direct concerted efforts towards producing highly qualified counselors whose expertise can be made use of at the secondary schools and at the teachers colleges. What was not clear, however, is the extent to which these services if made available will be taken advantage of by target students, Therefore The major purpose of this book is to provide a study that ...

La propuesta metodológica para la utilización del Software Educativo Universo Informático en la "Introducción a la Programación Visual", contiene la fundamentación teórica necesaria para abordar el tema a investigar, así como conceptos fundamentales a tener en cuenta para la realización de una metodología que toma como medio fundamental la utilización del software educativo. La propuesta sirve de guía al docente para lograr mayor eficacia en e...

Este trabajo se ubica en el ámbito de la renovación de la docencia universitaria en Venezuela. Uno de los ejes de esta renovación atribuye a los estudiantes una mayor responsabilidad en sus aprendizajes y la contribución a que el profesorado asuma la actividad docente con la máxima profesionalidad. A este efecto se pasó a los estudiantes una encuesta de evaluación del profesorado en la que no sólo se recaba información general sobre los cursos...

Los turbo códigos desde su aparición han demostrado ser un excelente esquema de codificación de canal. Sin embargo, no existe una combinación única de elementos dentro del turbo codificador que garantice "el mejor desempeño", la elección de elementos del turbo codificador depende en gran medida de las características del sistema donde se desee implementar. En el presente trabajo se analiza la construcción y desempeño de turbo códigos usando tr...

Se comentan importantes textos del campo CTS y se analizan cuestiones conceptuales que presenta la irrupción de la multiplicidad tecnológica. Dos preguntas tienen que ser respondidas desde la filosofía: ¿cómo entendemos la ciencia y la tecnología? y ¿cuándo es éticamente relevante? Dos enfoques distintos para un mismo problema: la distinción entre ciencia y tecnología y su relación con la sociedad. Se expone la evolución histórica del movimien...

El Golfo San Jorge (océano Atlántico) se halla ubicado en la Patagonia Argentina, es compartido por las provincias de Chubut y Santa Cruz y es considerado un ecosistema altamente productivo. La zona está asentada sobre una cuenca petrolera activa desde hace más de 100 años, siendo la explotación de petróleo crudo junto con la pesca comercial y el turismo los recursos económicos más importantes para estas provincias patagónicas. En esta obra se...

Il est en effet urgent que les institutions étatiques nationales, internationales et non gouvernementales responsables de la communication préventive puissent orienter leurs actions dans des directions qui soient efficientes et qui s'éloignent soit de procédures inefficaces, soit de discours contradictoires (le travail de Monsieur Kakdeu sur ce point est une mine d'or, montrant les contradictions et les conflits internes aux messages de préven...

En un mundo cada vez más urbano y más homogeneizado por efectos de la globalización, las ciudades se hacen extensas y despersonalizadas. Las principales aglomeraciones dejan de ser un continuo edificado en torno a un núcleo central para convertirse en un mosaico de piezas discontinuas, funcionando con frecuencia cada una de ellas de manera autónoma, como "no lugares" o "espacios de anonimato". Todo ello refleja, además, una organización del es...

This experimental work was done to measure the thermal conductivity of nanofluids (TiO2-water, ZnO-water and Al2O3-water). The thermal conductivity is measured experimentally, compared with the theoretical models for each nanofluid at each particle volume fraction. The unmatched hike is obtained in the thermal conductivity through nanofluid. To perform the experiment the nanofluid is prepared at different volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75...

This study investigates the impact of task structure and strategic planning on oral performance. Sixty four upper-intermediate learners of English were randomly selected and assigned to two groups: with pre-task planning and without pre-task planning. Each participant then was asked to narrate two stories (structured vs. unstructured) based on cartoon scripts. The structured task had a problem-solution structure in which the events could not b...

Epidural analgesia is an effective strategy in acute postoperative pain management, however not without the potential for adverse consequence. Increasing prevalence in hospital-acquired heel pressure ulcers are of growing concern in acute care facilities. Within the author's hospital, two surgical patients prescribed epidural analgesia displayed signs of heel pressure despite adherence to local pressure prevention guidelines. A research projec...

Small town water supply and sanitation mirror challenges of the water sector, but are not prioritized by central government and development partners. Small towns have limited water sources and inadequate distribution networks. Water shortages in small towns complicate identification of the poor because there are many unconnected non poor residents. Mpwapwa and Nzega water utilities have a kiosk strategy to the poor and unconnected but target t...

In contemporary Chinese higher education, classroom lectures combined with a web-based learning support system are broadly applied. This study investigated what kind of feedback strategy could be effective in improving students' self-efficacy and course satisfaction in a blended learning context. Volitional messages were constructed and-along with traditional feedback content (knowledge of results and knowledge of correct response)-distributed...
