This book seeks to enrich and refine global administrative law and EU administrative law analytical tools by examining their manifold relations. Its aim is to begin to explore the complex reality of the interactions between EU administrative law and global administrative law, to provide a preliminary map of such legal and institutional reality, and to review it. The book is the first attempt to analyze a dense area of new legal issues. The fir...

This study used an integrative theoretical approach. Criminological theories (deterrence and rational choice) were utilized in the theoretical framework for this study. A massive literature review was included in this study to help connect the theories being integrated. In the fall of 2010, approximately 505 students from the University of Memphis were used as the unit of analysis to examine their perceptions about offending, specifically, ill...

During the last decade significant progress has been made in the field of ship stability.Yet in spite of the progress made, numerous scientific and practical challenges still exist with regard to the accurate prediction of extreme motion and capsize dynamics for intact and damaged vessels, the probabilistic nature of extreme events, criteria that properly reflect the physics and operational safety of an intact or damaged vessel, and ways to pr...

This volume of lecture notes brings together the knowledge on pulsations of the Sun and the stars, with a particular emphasis on recent observations and modelling, and on the influence of pulsations of other physical processes. The book begins with an extensive introduction to helioseismology. The solar cycle and gravity modes are discussed before the focus is widened from helioseismology to asteroseismology which is detailed in a series of sp...

The nature of interest rate pass-through can determine the degree of competitiveness among banks and the soundness of the financial system. High speed of long run policy transmission indicates effective interest rate channel. The speed of changes in the lending rates will reflect the impression of investor about monetary policy action. In this study, pass-through of money market interest rate into several retail banking interest rates is exami...

Program planning plays pivotal role in preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all the rural and agriculture developmental programmes and is found operational at all the levels of hierarchy. It helps the extension agencies to deliver the products, services and technical know-how more effectively and efficiently to the client system. The book reflects different aspects of planning, monitoring and evaluation of extension progra...

The introduction of new schemes that are based on the communication among nodes has motivated the use of composite fading models due to the fact that the nodes experience different multipath fading and shadowing statistics, which subsequently determines the required statistics for the performance analysis of different transceivers. The end-to-end signal-to-noise-ratio statistics plays an essential role in the determination of the performance o...

The objective of the study is to determine the ways in which the Internet is impacting selected reference services in a sample of Jamaican libraries. It seeks to examine the nature of the changes and make comparison.The literature on reference service and the Internet and Web applications was reviewed to define and identify types and features of reference service and the use of the Internet in service management and delivery.A survey was admin...

Advances in remote sensing technology and their ever increasing repositories of the collected data are revolutionizing the mechanisms these data are collected, stored and processed. This exponential growth of data archives and the increasing users' demand for real-and near-real time remote sensing data products has challenged the data providers to deliver the required services. The remote sensing community has recognized the challenge in proce...

Management of solid waste and human excreta in in many low-income countries has so far been appalling, leading to generally poor sanitary conditions. Co-composting (composting different kinds of organic waste) is a good choice in helping solve the waste problem while at the same time promote sanitation, improve agricultural output and thus reduce poverty among peasant farmers. Thus, a research was carried out in Kumasi, Ghana to ascertain the ...

Over the years, experience-centric service organisations deliver services in which the customer experience is at the core of the service offering the firm dedicates its core resources to making sure that the customer satisfaction is achieved. Art centers have a decline exponentially, as art lovers can view various art exhibitions online. With this, managers of these art centers have a hard task in marketing and making the community aware of th...

Hierarchical scheduling provides predictable timing and temporal isolation, two properties desirable in real-time embedded systems. In hierarchically scheduled systems, subsystems should receive a sufficient amount of CPU resources in order to be able to guarantee timing constraints of its internal parts (tasks). In static systems, an exact amount of CPU resource can be allocated to a subsystem. However, in dynamic systems, where execution tim...

Higher Education Institutions in Brazil usually run projects together with local communities called 'Extension Projects'. The central aim of these extension projects is to prepare students to be involved in their local communities as critical citizens, by thinking critically, and developing a sense of social responsibility, autonomy and independence. However, on the whole, those involved with extension projects fail to adhere to this aim and e...
