About the Book: This book focuses on the interactional universe of the family values and corporate culture which a person experiences at every bit of time, at work place as well as at home. The interfaces between the two have been analyzed from multiple dimensions in Indian context. For the better societal understanding, wider range of dimensions has been discussed, which these families experience. These contexts include physical settings of G...

Epicuticular waxes plays very important role in hindering the attachment of insects to the leaves. It was hypothesized that wax act as mechanical barrier in transmission of CLCuV. Present book contain the study of the wax deficient mutant plants GaWM3 (50 % less wax than G. arboreum) were used as experimental plants while Gossypium arboreum (786) were used as negatively controlled plants as it is reported that whitefly can not transmit virus i...

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis L., Ranunculaceae) is a popular medicinal plant and has been listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The herbaceous perennial is distributed in North America under deciduous forest canopies throughout much of the south and eastern seaboard north into Canada. The rhizome, rootlets and root hairs produce medicinally active alkaloids. Although berberine, one of...

Academics and policymakers have turned their attention to innovation as a source of growth. Until recently, many studies adopted linear, R&D-based, approaches to innovation, but these serve poorly when examining non-science driven industries such as furniture manufacturing, where innovation and creativity remain crucial. Current theorizing has brought a surge of interest in broader social (networks, systems) and spatial (agglomerations...

Human development is an integral part of the developmental process of any nation.Without human development no development can be rated as complete and justified.The choice may be infinite and ever changing yet three essential needs are aspired by one all at every level of development. These include health & longevity of life, to acquire knowledge and to have access to resources required for a decent standard of living.The initiation of the Wor...

This is an easy to read book that seeks to encourage ordinary Kenyans to take charge of their livelihoods and the destiny of the nation. It is ironical that more than 47 years since independence, our standards of living have not improved significantly. Instead the decline in the same is obvious meaning that the nation''s leadership has basically failed to inspire sustainable development initiatives. This volume has attempted to interrogate thi...

This Book, which consists of eight chapters, focuses on the interplay between some important problems, namely the controllability problem, the eigenvalue assignment problem and the partial eigenvalue assignment problem, arising in linear control system theory and their solution by recent results and methodologies in numerical linear algebra. Our objective is to study stabilizing control systems of different orders through the problem of reassi...

This book discusses and analyses the affordability of housing, indentifies factors affecting affordable housing construction cost and formulates possible interventions in the Addis Ababa city, Ethiopia. Affordability of housing construction cost analysis was based on the selling (transferring) price of buildings, household income, interest rate on loan and maximum loan period. Factors affecting affordability of housing construction cost review...

The FAA and the DFW airport had proposed a Perimeter Taxiway (PT) system to improve runway safety and reduce runway incursions. The PT is analyzed utilizing actual flight data from the FAA and DFW database for 2004. An estimate was made for air traffic operations in 2010 from the FAA forecasts. Runway assignment was based on runway use plan and the standard taxiway route suggested by ATC. North and South flow was simulated separately i...

Educational administrators in any capacity face great challenges in the new millennium and the Technology Age that did not previously exist. They can find their job to be very stressful and even overwhelming at times. By employing self- understanding and empathy toward others, positive changes for promoting academic achievement and a stronger sense of school community can be achieved. This keen sense of emotion, posited by Daniel Golem...

This is a book on political repression in Kenya under colonial and post-colonial rule, from 1902 when Kenya's present borders were settled, to 2002 when the party of independence, KANU, lost its forty -year hold on power. The book undertakes to advance knowledge about political repression of political parties in Africa, through an analysis of the linkages between the colonial and post colonial states, ethnicity, and social classes in formation...

Tomatoes are the right and key ingredients in many processed foods.Postharvest product quality develops during growing of the product could be maintained, but not improved by any postharvest technologies. Thus, postharvest technologists should sriously give due emphasis on selection of genotypes with better keeping quality harvested at optimum maturity. In this book, the author introduces research on the yielding potential and postharvest qual...

Identifying environmentally friendly consumers is essential because enhanced knowledge of the profile of this segment of consumers would be useful to marketing specialist, as the better we understand them, the better we will be able to develop green marketing strategies specifically targeted at them. Although the summarized findings are far from conclusive, they note that demographic variables have been used extensively in profiling and predic...

While decision-making under uncertainty is a universal problem, its implications in the field of transportation systems are especially consequential, where the benefits of right decisions can be substantial, the effects of wrong ones can be disastrous. Development decisions involving highways must incorporate traffic demand and land price. In the literature, these and other uncertainties are almost universally modeled using Geometric Brownian ...

When he ran for President in 2000, George W. Bush told voters that he did not govern based on polls or focus groups. Yet a year into his presidency the facts told a different story. Like his predecessors, he assembled a team of top-notch pollsters and focus groups experts and spent a good deal of money collecting data. His actions are in keeping with what has become a common practice among modern American presidents. Since the advent o...

This book is the culmination of approximately four years of study obtaining my PhD in mechanical engineering, modeling blood flow in the arteries of the human brain. Coming from an engineering background I found that I had very little knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, or medical imaging techniques. Furthermore, it seemed reasonable that there would not be many people possessing a deep knowledge of these fields, and the more engine...

Insolvency proceedings and arbitration are absolutely distinct procedures.However, international commercial arbitration and insolvency do not coexist in isolation of one from another. Present paper is going to discuss the impact of insolvency proceedings on international commercial arbitration. In analyzing arbitrability of insolvency related issues, we may conclude that the fact that one of the parties is in insolvency proceedings does not in...

Honeybees are essential pollinators. In 2000, the value of American crops pollinated by bees was estimated to be $ 14.6 billion. Simultaneous infections of deformed wing virus and acute bee paralysis virus were most frequently observed in colonies suffering from weakness, depopulation and sudden collapse. Variances were found in the distribution of black queen cell virus and sacbrood bee virus. There was less than a 2% difference in the RNA-de...

Nonlinear evolution equations of dispersive type is a very active field of research and study in recent times. The Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger equations are the prominent examples that fall in this class of equations. We study the local and global well-posedness issues of the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the coupled system of dispersive equations with low regularity data. Fourier transform restriction norm space te...

With the ubiquitous adoption of the World Wide Web, an overwhelming amount of high quality, structured data becomes available on the Web. Unlike in the traditional context, Web databases are directly accessible by end users. To help ordinary users overcome the information overload in structured data, current databases need to improve the usability as well as the querying capability. This book explores this direction by discussing how to suppor...
