Phase Change Random Access Memory (PCM) is one of the most optimized candidates for the next generation non-volatile memory due to its fast operation speed, high scalability, low power operation and fabrication costs. The transition from the amorphous to the crystalline phase is induced by heating the material above its crystallization temperature for a long enough time, and the switching back to the amorphous phase is realized by melting and ...

Model selection is one of the fundamental tasks of scientific inquiry. The most widely used methods such as ROC analysis do not take sampling uncertainty into account. To improve the robustness of model selection, the author developed a model selection method capable to incorporate sampling uncertainty. She captured the sampling uncertainty by using the bootstrap technique, and quantified the sampling uncertainty by introducing fuzzy numbers. ...

Geophysical techniques can map the subsurface conditions apart from boreholes. These methods can be used for geophysical assessment of hydraulic properties and determination of aquifer geometry. Particularly, a description of electrical resistivity method used for quantitative groundwater resources assessment, supported by laboratory investigations for petrophysical properties to estimate groundwater reserve within the aquifer.

Currently, it is possible to achieve full mobility in everyday environment using a near- infrared light sensors to monitor brain function in humans. Multiple wireless networks employing several protocols can be used for data carriage and provide new freedom to conduct monitoring in real environments outside a lab. The measurements of the changes of the concentration of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) in the real-life environment,...

Some economist have predicted that the slower growing economics will eventually converge with the faster growing economy at some point in the future. This is known as the convergence hypothesis. In this book, we test this hypothesis for Ghana and the Western Europeans countries with UK been a proxy, using time series data to determine whether or not it holds. We determine how fast or slow this convergence process is by using the returns to sca...

Callus cultures are of vital importance since they are endowed with potential to produce plants through embryogenesis/organogenesis. This property helps to explore the underlying basis of differentiation. These cultures can also employed for enhanced secondary metabolites production by manipulating the composition of culture medium. This doctoral dissertation on Chlorophytum borivilianum, an important medicinal plant comprises of six chapters:...

Over the years, higher education in Kenya has been characterised by gender disparities. A gendered analysis of admissions at University illustrates a low representation of females. But, the Kenyan governments'' policies in higher education, should have attended to this problem. Hence, this book seeks to examine the governments'' gender-related access policy making processes in higher education. This study shows that it is useful to distinguish...

This book investigates the benefit of life settlements to a portfolio of investment securities. A life settlements is the secondary trade of an unneeded life policy. Unlike traditional securities, life settlements are not correlated to stock markets or interest rates. This book provides an extensive background on life settlements and empirically determined that a portfolio of investments including life settlements yields a higher return at a l...

A dense, industrial landscape shaped the scale and character of 19th and 20th century urban waterfronts. The same landscape barred public access to the shoreline, contaminated soils and polluted waterways while providing millions with a means of livelihood. Like a glacier, this industrial landscape has been in a long recession leaving behind a scattered moraine of docks, cranes, warehouses, factories, mills, power plants, and rails. Some of th...

The issue of climate change (CC) and air pollution (AP) is a matter of integration due to the interaction at their happening and impact creation. In this book the impact on each other is described and compared at urban setting.To mitigate and adapt the problem CC and AP Urban Planning and Policy(UPP) Tools are listed based on two dimensions:one is emission control and another one in effect adaptation dimension.Among the emission control planni...

In der Nachfolge von Edmund Husserl stehend, hat Eugen Fink in visionärer Schau und in eigenständiger Weise ein neues Menschenbild gezeichnet und den hohen Wert der Bildung als freie geistige Selbsterziehung ins Bewusstsein gerückt. Er entwirft den Menschen als ein Wesen mit tiefem Bezug zum ursprünglichen Sein, ein schöpferisches Wesen, das - einem kosmischen Plan folgend - sich in einem permanenten, nie endenden Bildungsprozess befindet. Fin...

This workbook is intended to introduce translators, exegetes, Bible students, and communicators of the Scriptures to some of the main forms and functions of biblical literature, prose as well as poetry. The aim is to enable readers to better understand the original text and then convey selected texts in a correspondingly "literary" - artistic, poetic, rhetorical - manner in their mother tongue or another target language. These lessons have bee...

Die Biographie eines deutschen Mädchens in Russland. Erschreckende und traurige Wahrheiten um Familie und Krieg- von damals bis heute.

PUDANAS - ein großstädtischer Randbezirk will sich mit einem Kongreß profilieren: vom grätigen Fisch zum Filet-Fischstäbchen werden, wäre das eine tolle Fortbildung! Vom Kunstamtsleiter bis zur EU-Referentin machen fast all auf ihre Art mit: 'Hauptsache wir schwimmen im Öl - nicht im Wasser!' das ist die Devise. Aber einigen fallen dann eben auch die Schuppen von den Augen ...

Selecting an efficient tunnelling system is one of the main objectives of any tunnel construction team to minimize tunnelling problems. The tunnelling system consists of a set of harmonized construction methods that are used for executing different tunnelling activities. This book introduces a computer based model, which is considered as an efficient and easy tool used in the preliminary stage of the project, for selecting efficient tunnelling...

Bearing support system of a steam turbine is a complex structure. The performance of steam turbine not only depends on the rotor and stator, but also on the stability and support extended by the support system. This analysis highlights the advantage of solid modeling of complex structures. The static and dynamic responses of bearing support systems are obtained with three dimensional solid modeling approach. Usually the problems related to the...

Unendlich sind die Erscheinungsformen des Lebendigen, unendlich die Möglichkeiten seine Existenz kund zu tun. Sie zu sammeln, zu deuten, ungewöhnliche Kombinationen vorzuschlagen, gewohnheitsmäßige Verbindungen zu durchbrechen, seine tiefsten regulativen Prinzipien zu erkennen und zu würdigen, die heute bei zunehmender Komplexität des Daseins immer weniger verborgen und immer mehr an der Neuschaffung des Lebens beteiligt sind: Das alles hat di...

This Book serves as a useful knowledge in the field of Agricultural Technology and Engineering. A Hand operated winnower was developed for ergonomic evaluation. The winnower was ergonomically evaluated using 6 subjects. Two workers are required for the operation of this winnower, one for cranking the blower and other for feeding the threshed material and collection of grain. The mean heart rate, Oxygen consumption rate, and Energy expenditure ...

Lip reading is used to understand or interpret speech without hearing it, a technique especially mastered by people with hearing difficulties. The ability to lip read enables a person with a hearing impairment to communicate with others and to engage in social activities, which otherwise would be difficult. Recent advances in the fields of computer vision, pattern recognition, and signal processing has led to a growing interest in automating t...
