The goal of the project is to model a computerized system that will simulate the growth of a maize plant under different conditions which are in terms of elements removed from the soil. Factors like Nitrogen Level, Magnesium Level and Potassium Level are taken into consideration. Simulation of the maize plant into normal conditions will first be executed, followed by elements or combination of elements removed from the soil and simulated as we...

Since media manipulate and misuse information more and more, we need a media pedagogy as well as a (new) school curriculum which contains directions and methodological suggestions on how "to train"children to critically think about the world around them and to critically process information that the (new) media provide. With the help of analysis of symbolic forms and sociolinguistics the authors explains the transformation of homo communicans ...

Bangladesh is divided into 30 Agro Ecological Zone (AEZ). Among them AEZ-9 (Old Brahamaputra Foodplain) has a great importance for wheat production and wheat research. The soil of this region is Sonatola series, silty loam with slightly acidic, developed under aquic moisture regime and variable temperature conditions. The largest Agricultural University is situated of this region. So, most of the wheat research has been conducted by many resea...

The current study examines, for the first time, the validity of pluralism of marketing practices in the context of Indian retail banking. Further, it identifies 29 CRM best practices from across academic and practitioner literature. This list may be helpful to any organization interested in best-in-class CRM deployment. Next, it examines the degree of deployment of these practices in the Indian retail banking sector and identifies 8 banks whic...

When from last few decades the world is facing the problem of water pollution and scarcity of conventional fuel. A new approach is required to produce the new alternate sources of fuel and check on water pollution. This research provides an alternate pathway of formation of fuel by treating the industrial effluents. In the developing countries the industrial waste water dumping is the main problem. This coloured water is the main cause of wate...

On July 17 1998, the treaty of the International Criminal Court known as the Rome Statute was adopted in a United Nations sponsored plenipotentiary conference in Rome, Italy. The Statute entered into force on 1st July 2002, which resulted in the establishment of the Court. It has the jurisdiction to hold accountable those who are responsible for the crimes of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression. The seat of the Court i...

Using large amounts of chemical fertilizers to maximize crop yields lead to increased nitrate leaching into groundwater, deteriorating effects on the soil to see. As a general rule, feed the soil, not the plant, but the extra feed does not make extra strong plants, while the additional N supply can result in masses of foliage at the expense of fruit production and inviting insect pest and lodging of crop. So there must be a balanced use of fer...

The applicability of the Total Bed Material Load equations (TBMLe) depends on its parameter, sampling techniques and its mathematical approaches. However, most of the existing TBMLe are developed based on databases obtained from laboratory scale simulations or field measurements at low to medium gradient rivers only and less studied for MR especially in the tropical areas. Thus, the work reported in this book is intended to give a step by step...

This book is an insight into the Bhutia society of Sikkim, a North Eastern State in India, and the women's position in this social fabric. This dissertation deals with different aspects like social, economic and political, which were studied to analyze Bhutia women's status in the decision making process in the society. These women occupy a good social status when it comes to their economic and social position but there are lacunae in their re...

This book deals with the detail derivation of Equispaced level conduction band model and the application in some ternary alloy semiconductors.The derivation is based on the coordinate transform procedure. Effective mass Schrodinger equation is set up, with the local conduction band edge(Luttiger and Kohn, 1955) taken as the potential experienced by an electron in a Quantum Well(QW). Semiconductor alloys QWs are broadly tailorable. Two Hamilton...

Even though God has ordained immigration, that has changed humankind history, rationalism, technological innovation, capitalism, liberalisation and Third World debt are central driving force of globalization, which is positively related to global immigration. Regardless of their entrepreneurial engagement, the presence of African immigrants in foreign countries is often associated with high unemployment rate, therefore African immigrants becam...

Since the beginning of human existence on earth, human life has been dominated by the need for energy. Over the past centuries, the world has witnessed several energy transitions. Presently, issues such as energy security & sustainable development are the main driving factors for a transition to clean energy systems. One of the ways to achieve the new desire for energy transition is the use of fuel cell technology. Worldwide, a number of resea...

The Indian constitution has included power in concurrent list, which means both the centre and state share the responsibility for this sector. Article 246 of the constitution vests the parliament as well as the state legislature with the power to frame laws. Many Independent Power Producers (IPPs) came with their proposals but very few could get the financial closure and commissioning of power plants in 10 years. Most of the state electricity ...

A proper education and knowledge about the disease is essential, which will help in management and control of the disease. In this arena, this book is designed and conceded in the diagnosis and management of the disease.

Wireless Sensor Networks have evolved as an alternative to wired networks fit for quick deployments in areas with limited access. New protocols have been devices to deal with the inherent scarcity of resources that characterizes such networks. Energy efficient network protocols are used for communication between nodes. Data collected by wireless nodes is transmitted at an energy cost and therefore carefully managed. The remote deployment of wi...

Truthfulness means more than merely telling the truth. It is a way of life. Truth defines who we are. We make the truth known to others not only by what we say but also by what we do. If we are to impart truth to others, we must be truthful in all ways. Our reputations for truthfulness and honesty will have powerful impact on how people respond to what we teach. They too would like to know, "what is responsible for this person's moral strength...
