As a result of interviews, it was found that many Naval Chaplains serving in the Fleet Marine Force fail to have an accurate sense of worth as they serve the people God has called them to serve. Because Marines and Sailors don't share with their chaplains how they really think of the chaplain, the chaplain is left wondering about his significance. Through interviews and questionnaires, Marines and Sailors serving in the Fleet Marine Force were...

This book discusses how small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) working in processing the natural stone sector in Jordan located in the factor-driven stage can move to the innovation-driven stage. In particular, the study discusses how developed, in comparison with Turkey and Italy, are the factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, and the five forces in comparison with Turkey and Italy. Furthermore, it discuss...

There has been much discussion about the impact of film violence in the media and particularly if its use has helped to influence negative behaviour by individuals. There have been varied results from these discussions and it seems as if there is no clear indication if it does or does not. This study is intended to produce a personal analysis on the subject of film violence focusing on the core issues connected to its influence on public behav...

This study was to establish Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement/Army (SPLA/M) Education Policy after signing of a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005. Education Policies before CPA were in two forms South and North Sudan. The study was to compare the two Policies relating to Girls' enrolment and retention in Juba. The result shows an increase from 9, 555 to 11, 953 from 2003 to 2007. This was attributed to change of SPLA/M education Pol...

Alternative Routes of Polysaccharide Acylation provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of synthesis, characterization and applications of numerous polysaccharide esters. It explores homogeneous, one pot syntheses and structure- property relationship of different kinds of polyglucan esters. A number of novel acylation methods are exploited in this book. The book will serve as a reference source for the research scholars working in this...

South East Europe (SEE) is moving rapidly toward the creation of a regional electricity market and wholesale electricity market/power exchange that will improve competitive performance and increase liquidity and reliability. In order to achieve this then certain criteria have to be met. This capstone project gives a general background of electricity markets with developments in Europe and especially Southeast Europe (SEE) for meeting the crite...

Rapid industrialization and increase in population are responsible for the inclusion of heavy metals in the environment. Consequently, these metals are found well above the tolerance limit many a times in aquatic environment. The Cr(VI) is of particular concern because of its toxicity. Thus, treatment of the effluent to reduce/remove the pollutant before discharging into the environment becomes inevitable. Among various processes for Cr(VI) tr...

Brucellosis, worldwide the most important zoonosis and remains a major health problem. This bacterial pathogen is also classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a category (B) pathogen that has the potential for development as a bioweapon. After tuberculosis, brucellosis is the most important bacterial disease of livestock in Bangladesh. There are sporadic reports of prevalence of brucellosis in cattle, goats, sheep...

A theater of the Israeli-Arab-Palestinian conflict was successfully introduced to Africa by Afro-Arab countries in the 1960s. Many African countries including Nigeria consequently severed diplomatic ties with the state of Israel during and after the 1973 Arab- Israeli war. While several scholars have tried to adduce reasons for the African capitulation to Arab/Afro-Arab blackmail, despite Israel's friendly overtures and assistance to African s...

An SDUH model was developed using digital DEM elevation data and land use data collected during a field survey. The SDUH model was applied to a 5km2 agricultural watershed in the Upper Athi river region of the entire Athi river basin. The USGS DEM (30-m) resolution was used to estimate the slope, aspect, flow distance and upstream area for each cell. The watershed was divided into "overland" and "channel" flow cells based on the area upstream ...

The twenty-first century is a century of the knowledge economy, where large investments are directed to intellectual assets rather than physical assets. Intellectual capital reporting is a new powerful instrument in the knowledge domain, which serves as a management and communication instrument and delivers information for investment decisions. The crash of the dot com companies and the debacle of Enron and World Com have refocused the discuss...

This thesis is a culmination of series of studies on the praseodymium activated alkaline earth sulfide phosphor synthesis through various routes and investigations on their luminescence properties. The phosphors were prepared via several methods namely solid-state carbothermal reduction, chemical co- precipitation where hydrazine-hydrate and sulfur solution acts as a workhorse behind a benchmark synthesis following post-precipitation annealing...

Semiactive control using MR dampers begins with a model development that can describe the dampers' hysteretic characters properly and control algorithms that consider the nonlinear damper voltage to force map. This book develops an efficient MR damper model from experiments. Further an intelligent optimal fuzzy logic control, a nonlinear integral backstepping and a dynamic inversion control algorithms are developed in connection to MR dampers....

The aim of this book is to explore the debate between Bas van Fraassen's constructive empiricism and scientific realism. For this purpose I discuss the existence of observable and unobservable entities, the observation/theoretical dichotomy, inference to the best explanation, the no miracles argument, pessimistic induction, and epistemic risk. I strive to show that, contrary to the view of constructive empiricism, there is no clear demarcation...

Edible crops especially the vegetables grown on contaminated water get loaded with different heavy metals such as Ni, Cd, Cr, Cu and/or Zn from city effluents. These pollutants are serious threat to human health. Present study was designed to know the growth behaviour and to assess the potential of various tree species for uptake of heavy metals under different irrigation regimes. Irrigation (treatment) of municipal wastewater (MW), domestic w...

Pakistan since its creation has lacked strong political institutions. Political parties were also weak and not institutionalized. Thus creating an empty space, that gave some other forces, like individual leaders and interest or pressure groups, an opportunity to fill this gap. Students were one such pressure group who played a significant role in the political process. This book is a comprehensive account of the students' politics in Pakistan...

The overview of the Brazilian energy sector and the introduction of the free market are presented in the first chapter. The second chapter introduces the concepts of strategic planning principles, among which stand out from the model developed by Porter's five forces, SWOT analysis and cost generic strategies, differentiation and focus to achieve competitive advantages. The third chapter is intended to clarify some concepts of marketing as the...
