This book is to discusses the multicultural history that makes up the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Through research and interviews with people from various racial backgrounds, this book engages the reader through the 200 years of Disciples' history.

This book presents a silicon micromechanical resonator based digital temperature sensing technique as well as an efficient local-thermal-isolation method. The micromechanical resonator based thermometry results into a lag-free temperature sensor suitable for high precision temperature control of the resonator. The thermal isolation technique includes the design of an integrated heater with the micromechanical resonator such that the mechanical...

This handbook is designed to guide public sector managers and development practitioners through the process of large-scale housing reconstruction after major disasters, based on the experiences of recent reconstruction programs in Aceh (Indonesia), Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Gujarat (India) and Bam (Iran).

Throughout this book the authors Jha and Murthy comprehensively evaluate existing approaches to environmental sustainability and critically review empirical studies of environmental degradation and economic development.

This book analyses the magnitude of public expenditure on education, the composition of such expenditure, the flow of funds from the Centre to the districts, and the bottlenecks in the process, with a focus on elementary education. Most of the existing body of work in this area concentrates on Central Government`s budgetary provisions instead. The significance of this research lies in that it dwells on the major challenges confronting the Stat...

This comprehensively revised and updated edition develops the themes contained in the first edition. Students and teachers who are familiar with the book will notice that half of the chapters are entirely new, with the other half having changed significantly to take into account the changes that have occurred in the global economy since the turn of the millennium.With questions for discussion and excellent use of case studies, the book covers ...

Numerous works on non-destructive testing of food quality have been reported in the literature. Techniques such as Near InfraRed (NIR) spectroscopy, color and visual spectroscopy, electronic nose and tongue, computer vision (image analysis), ultrasound, x-ray, CT and magnetic resonance imaging are some of the most applied for that purpose and are described in this book. Aspects such as theory/basics of the techniques, practical applications (s...

Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), defined as the product other than timber or wood, are the chief component group of the vast number of bio-diversity of Nepal. The most important category of NTFPs is the loose group termed as Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs). On the other hand, Nepal stands herself among one of the poorest countries. Forest products especially the NTFPs are the sources of food, fibre, medicine and direct income for many ...

Taking a look at the political and social changes in China and India as they have progressed down the road to capitalism, this work also examines the social and political conflicts that the market has unleashed.

This book is first of its kind from India and describes a total of 198 species of marine macroalgae representing all three major groups of Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta collected from the Gujarat coast which is well known for its algal abundance and diversity. All species described in this book are based on primary collections exclusively made for this purpose and truly reflect the current status of seaweed biodiversity of Gujarat coa...

This work is intended to assess the integrity ofrivers in Nepal by some fish community baseparameters such as the number of species, compositionand the abundance. However, the variety of otherinformation regarding fish resource and rivermorphology such as spatial and temporal distributionand density of fish species, size structure of aspecies, and substrate and physico-chemicalparameters of the river are also well documented.Four disturbances,...

A Parigi, nel negozio di zio Krishenbhai, si combatte a volte una strana battaglia: una battaglia tra odori che è una vera e propria lotta tra mondi opposti. Quando soffia il vento il profumo delle baguette fragranti si scontra inesorabilmente con l'aroma pungente delle spezie e dei cibi indiani in bella mostra sugli scaffali. Ma allo zio sfugge tutta questa lotta, perché distratto dalle clienti che osano avventurarsi con lui nel retro della b...

The major challenges of the 21st century faced by human beings are how to achieve water security, food security, energy security and environmental security. Owing to enhanced natural/anthropogenic disasters worldwide, these challenges become much more complicated and daunting especially for developing countries. Therefore, it is important to highlight the risk of different disasters as well as the modern tools and techniques for minimizing dis...

This wide-ranging, up-to-date and detailed account of all aspects of public economics covers topics as varied as: * classical theorems of welfare economics* the theory of public expenditure* the effects of taxation on savings, labour supply investment and risk-taking* commodity, income and expenditure taxation* public sector and cost-benefit analysis* fiscal federalism. Written by Raghbendra Jha, an author with an established reputation, this ...

The integration of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology (NT) in sensors and devices significantly reduces their weight, size, power consumption, and production costs. These sensors and devices can then play greater roles in defense operations, wireless communication, the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and many more applications. MEMS and Nanotechnology-Based Sensors and Devices for Communications, Medical and Aerospace...

A comprehensive reexamination of the work of the twentieth-century scientist-turned-philosopher Michael Polanyi that offers a deeper understanding of his theories and rationale.

On behalf of the Program Committee, it is our pleasure to present the p- ceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection Systems (RAID 2010), which took place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, during September 15-17, 2010. As in the past, the symposium brought together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss intrusion detection research and practice. There were e...

This book is about large-scale electronic circuits design driven by nanotechnology, where nanotechnology is broadly defined as building circuits using nanoscale devices that are either implemented with nanomaterials (e.g., nanotubes or nanowires) or following an unconventional method (e.g., FinFET or III/V compound-based devices). These nanoscale devices have significant potential to revolutionize the fabrication and integration of electronic ...

Autumn Leaves is a rainbow of emotions. It is a kalidescope of Seema's views of Pathos, love , sorrow , desires , gratitude .grief and motherly affection.It also pays tribute to unprotesting animals who often go unsung. ..These sensitive poems are a testimony of Seema's creative imagination and her acute observations.Her rhymining style rings an ancient tradition of poetry not commonly seen these days.
