As we all know that sampling with unequal probability plays most important role in large scale sample surveys, therefore in this monograph some recent developments regarding this topic has been discussed. Moreover since joint probability is difficult calculate therefore some approximations of the joint probability have been derived. Special attention has been given to general theory of arbitrary probability. For this theory sampling with repla...
In Nicky Beer's The Diminishing House, birds are disemboweled, a father is mourned, and a basement fills with snakes. This first book of resonant lyric poetry meditates on such subjects as animals, art, and anatomy, and transforms the familiar and mundane into something strangely
mythic. Beer explores the exhilaration and frustration of living in a sensuous, unstable world filled with grief and desire.
Explores why, despite the initial promise and enthusiasm at the beginning of the 1990s, the European Union (EU) and the Russian Federation have encountered severe difficulties in developing their institutionalized relationship.
Your textbook may be an inch deep, but your teaching doesn't have to be. "The defining characteristic of instruction in a focused curriculum is that students have experiences that promote deeper understanding of the big ideas, as well as the time to develop these complex understandings. In this book we offer practical suggestions that teachers can use with their local and state mathematics curricula to realize the vision of NCTM's Curriculum F...
This is a splendid, down-to-earth book-especially for elementary teachers who want to do science but are unsure how to go about it. The intensity of children's interest is unmistakable. And Ellen's low-key style reassures the reader that children in any classroom can do work that is just as fine." Eleanor Duckworth, Harvard University "I want to embolden teachers who are uncertain about teaching science, and encourage others to give children's...
Too often descriptions of detectors focus on the 'what' and not the 'why'. This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector environment. In turn, the detector choices are made to adopt to that environment. The goal of LHC physics is to explore the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking. Because of the minuscule cross-sections which need to be explored, 0.1 fb, the LHC...
Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Heterosexism Workshop Colleges and universities offer programming to students to educate them around issues of heterosexism in order to help make the college campus more open and accepting of the lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) population. Many of these programs are offered as workshops in the residence halls, but few of these workshops have been evaluated to determine whether they are effective. This quantita...
Visualising the Transient Self: An Examination of the Intangible in Creative Work, investigates the notion of the self as an ambiguous and transient state, via a praxis of theoretical and creative research. Key terms of philosopher Slavoj Zizek are used to establish the theoretical perspective of the research, which are then applied to a number of creative works by visual artists Bill Viola, Anna Gaskell, and Gabriella Bisetto. The researcher'...
Whether abilities are congenital or acquired, the theory of Universal Design focuses on the customer. The accessibility movement seeks public accommodations for persons with disabilities. Not surprising, wider doorways, ramps and stair railings also benefit people without disabilities. The speaker phone is used in automobiles, homes and conference rooms for three different reasons. Pocket-sized electronic devices may be useless for older perso...
In modern business practice and literature, integrated relationships and arms'' length relationships are viewed as two ends of the industrial relationship structure spectrum that shapes business to business transactions. Though, it is commonly agreed that integrated types of relationships have some unique characteristics that differentiate them from traditional business relations, in various studies it is shown that both relationship structure...

The XIX International Conference on Laser Spectroscopy, one of the leading conferences in the very diverse and still growing field of laser spectroscopy, was held in Hokkaido, Japan, on June 712, 2009. This volume, comprising a collection of invited contributions presented at the conference, will report on the latest developments in the area of laser spectroscopy and related fields: cold atoms and molecules, degenerate quantum gases, quantum o...
This autobiography presents a personal account of the life of a woman academic, over a span of 60 years, from incidents in her childhood, through the education process from primary to pre-university education in British Malaya to two doctorates from University College London. As the story unfolds, it is immediately apparent that her journey in academia has been far from ordinary.She gives credit to the excellent early education she received in...
Many Protestant Evangelicals struggle to find meaning in the Lord's Supper. There may be theological positions to be held and certain religious protocols to be observed, but for many the Eucharist remains merely a symbol of remembrance and as such, an elusive connection to the table of Jesus. As new conversations take place about the emerging and missional church, the value of the ancient practices of the church are seeking new expression. How...
