Knowledge Management Ever since the introduction of the concept of knowledge management, it has interested many. Culture has been cited by researchers as the most important enabler of knowledge management. However, cultural differences among countries make a difference in implementation of knowledge management processes. There is a need to conduct indigenous studies for exploring specific attributes of organizational culture that effect knowle...

I have undertaken many different courses during my life and more recently I have taught subjects myself. Using these experiences I can honestly say that I have never met any teacher with such an understanding, of not only his subject matter, but of the pupils he is teaching. It was truly refreshing to find someone who realizes the importance of pupils receiving good hands on experience and not just relying purely on theory to get them through....

EN coatings have wide industrial applications owing to their excellent mechanical, physical, electrical, as well as corrosion and wear resistance properties. The utilization of Electroless Nickel-Phosphorus (EN) coatings has witnessed a staggering increase during the last two decades. Among the characteristics of EN coatings are superior corrosion and wear resistance especially in environments containing H2S and CO2, superior mechanical proper...

The book primarily discusses the socio-cultural, demographic and economic characteristics of three major tribal groups, viz. Bodo, Rabha and Karbi residing in Guwahati City of Assam, India based on both primary and secondary data. It also focuses on the pattern of change among them in socio-cultural and economic fronts. Further, while discussing social change, the book also examines the prevailing inter and intra-tribal variation in the degree...

The dynamic reverse furthest neighbour algorithm may resolve many challenges of future applications especially in wireless communication and geographical information system. The related work is also specified to distinguish the advancement from the existing methodologies. Examples with illustration are given in the book to justify the utility of the dynamic reverse furthest algorithm. The algorithm is also discussed in the 3-D space. The trade...

Worried that academic writing about sexed & gendered identities might result in silencing of minority voices I consider how the development of queer individuals may challenge academic disciplinary structures in the dominant (normative) culture. Foucault said, to learn about the dominant culture, study those it has marginalized. With Foucault's legacy I show how a queer standpoint exposes the "closeted" nature of bodies & voices in psychologica...

Fluid penetration into capillary tubes resulting from the interplay between solid-liquid adhesive interactions and liquid-liquid cohesive interactions is a ubiquitous phenomenon. A wide variety of technological applications, e.g. oil extraction through porous rocks, washing process with detergents, surface coating etc., are based fundamentally on capillarity effects. As a result, studies with respect to the physics of capillary flows, both fro...

Career decision making process contnues to be a challenging task for secondary school adolescent students. Intervention stragies in the forms of treatment have been known to significantly influence the process by enhancing it. Reciprocal peer tutoring and career day activities have been observed to be significant intervention strategies for enhancing creer decision making. This study observed that both treatment packages will be effective if t...

The increasing integration of economies and societies around the world, decreasing product life cycle and volatile market are the biggest challenges for the organizations. These factors become more crucial in project based organizations due to their different structure and approach hence traditional business approaches are no more adequate for the project based organizations. This book, therefore, introduces a new perspective on innovation and...

This study offers a framework for approaching an analysis of the discourse on Palestine in the contemporary United States by conducting a close investigation of print news contributions to that discourse. Relevant theoretical frameworks are applied in order to interpret definitions of discourse, processes of discourse formation, and in particular contributions from the news media to contemporary discourse in the United States. This study argue...

The manual is to consolidate the theoretical knowledge of hydrologist, environmentalist, field engineers and engineering/technological students in Universities, Polytechnics and research institutes on the science a...

Traffic Engineering (TE) is the stage which deals with geometric design planning and traffic operation of networks, network devices and relationship of routers for the transportation of data. TE is that feature of network engineering which concentrate on problems of performance optimization of operational networks. It involves techniques and application of knowledge to gain performance objectives, which includes movement of data through networ...

Community Forestry (CF) generates high interests in the academic arenas. CF literature highlighted the problem of exclusion of the poor, women, dalit and ethnic minorities in benefit sharing and decision- making in the CF process. The focus of the critique has been on local socio-cultural, economic and institutional factors that contribute to exclusion. The literature identifies inequalities at the community level, weak policy implementation a...

India claims great heritage in grammar and classical music. Indian subcontinent is a store house of archaeology maintaining un-broken ladder down the time line to 5000 years before present. Her claims to sciences and technologies have been scantily corroborated on archaeology touch stone. A multi-disciplinary scholar with long and deep field experience, trained in western methods of enquiry and dispassionate report, presents tangible and intan...

The research aimed to identify the institutions working in the field of urban forestry and their activities. It also assessed the level of awareness and perception of people towards urban forestry. The findings of the study revealed that there are number of institutions working in the field of urban fores...

Development of numerical methods to solve partial differential equations is extremely important as most of the real life physical systems can be formulated in the form of these. By solving partial differential equations, the characteristics of a physical system can be simulated even without performing laboratory experiments. This book discusses the development of few efficient numerical tools to solve diffusion and wave equation. Methods for t...

In today''s manufacturing environment, different parts manufactured in-house and bought from suppliers are often assembled together into a finished product. Competition has made it important for companies to deliver a customized product on a promised date. However, when inventory items are missing at the time of production, lead times for products become uncertain and this makes it difficult to fulfill a customer order on the promised date. It...

The rapid expansion of higher education in Kenya and globally, entrance of market forces in higher education delivery (online, open and distance modes), and globalization of education (private entrepreneurs and diploma mills) necessitates the formation of structures and mechanisms, standards and guidelines, to assure quality.Five definitions of quality exist, the highest possible standard of academic achievement, fitness for purpose, effective...
