Mathematical model describing the effects of noise in the cochlea is formulated. We showed that this model could correctly describe the deformation of the basilar membrane and the fluid motion.The plate equations are obtained from the three - dimensional equations of the linearized director theory of the elastic plate. The resultant equations completely agree with those obtained previously for an elastic cosserat plate. It is important to note...

Sudan has been at war with itself for several decades, which has resulted in millions of death and displaced thousands all across the world.media on the other hand has always been used by the elite in northern Sudan all through the different successive regimes as a weapon of war rather than a tool for peace, making it an ideological apparatus to maintain their interest and political hegemony, this book analyses different theories linking media...

Modern stress of profession has created early scalp hair loss. Understanding of scalp care and nutrition improvement adds to restoration of scalp hair. Medical options in hair restoration also include use of local and systemic medicines with different doses for gender and age. Care of hair bearing scalp is important for the stress stricken young executives of modern era. Many ancient hair care ideas are still helpful along with modern medical ...

Lighting, sound and make-up effects are vital parts of the key ingredients needed to bring to life the dream of the writer and the producer of a film. When creatively used along with the other elements of film production, a feeling of reality is often established. This indeed is an important index of the modern film industry. In the Nigerian film industry, however, the technical handling of lighting, sound and make-up effects presents obvious ...

Microorganisms are responsible for the manufacture of various foods of man. The biochemical reactions of microorganism helps in the process of production of foods. Microorganisms helps in several industries like medicine industry, jute industry. Hormones, Vitamins, Vaccines are also manufactured from microorganisms. They also used in Recombinant technology, cell fusion technology etc. In recent years the role of microorganisms in various envir...

Occupational accidents and diseases are a major cause of infection, injury, morbidity, disability or even death among workers especially in developing countries. Current attempts at controlling occupational accidents should focus on preventive strategies which have a broader ands more sustainable effect. This research, based on information collected between 2005 and2006 examines health risks faced by garbage handlers in the city of Masvingo, Z...

The research reported in this monograph had two main objectives. The first objective was to assess the relevance, feasibility and practicality of modeling the spatial structure of a developing island economy using a hybrid procedure to generate inter-regional input-output tables. The second objective was to apply the procedure to study the spatial structure of the island economy of Indonesia. The model proved useful for analyzing the spatial s...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between religiosity andbroadcast news usage. This study examines the level of religiosity of individuals and itscorrelation to broadcast news exposure. The correlation between religiosity andperceptions of violence on broadcast news was also measured.Two theories were applied in this study. Uses and Gratifications asserts the activecharacter of the audience to choose what they watch,...

NEARLY 90 PERCENT of all information technology projects fail to achieve objectives within the budget and schedule. Can this dismal performance be improved? It occurs to us that perhaps one reason so many software projects fail is because project managers might be trying to solve the wrong problem. Too often projects disappoint people because the project manager was too busy working on activities without making sure the project met the require...

According to FinScope (2008), 37.3% of the South African population is currently unbanked - this amounts to approximately 12 million people who do not have a bank account in their name. Salaries and wages are paid by cash or cheque, resulting in losses to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through cash payment systems, 'grey' economies, increased friction, and higher transactional costs, whilst creating opportunities for criminals. Fin...

Recent advances in mobile telecommunications and satellite broadcasting have created the need for new frequency channels. This fact is stimulating the progress in microwave integrated-circuit technology. The miniaturization and optimization of such circuits create demands for new components, which have to be compact, reliable and of low cost. Microwave dielectric ceramics represent such a group of components. The existing applications of the s...

The factors affecting the adoption of chemical fertilizers in maize cropping system are not concerned by technologically but these are affected by institutionally and also influenced by the infrastructure. Even if they were chemical fertilizer adopters, their maize yields were found to be low because of extremely drought under rain-fed condition. As a result of comparatively higher cost of production, lower yield and price, surveyed households...

My book provides you some interesting features concerning fiscal policy. So far, only Keynesian theories which debates that private consumption relates positively to fiscal policy appears to be a well-accepted theory with respect to fiscal policy. Basically, Keynes suggests that fiscal expansion/contraction soars/plummets private consumption. However, other theories considering the overall effect of fiscal policy regarding to private consumpti...

Reservoirs in Banghan field are evaluated using well logs, Seismic, biofacies and core data. To understand a reservoir, one must know the structures that are present within a field that may serve as trapping mechanism for hydrocarbon. Using seismic, the faults, fault polygon, structural map, surfaces and regional dips were determined. Well logs were use to identify chrono unit, lithofacies, lithologies and correlate them within Banghan field. ...

The fusion of thermal and visible imagery combines the useful information contained in each wavelength in one image. However, image fusion is complex process because it should decide on the data value and content of each input image then combine them in real-time. Current work introduces a real-time implementation of an intelligent fusion routine capable of applying the thermo-plasticity analysis to evaluate a stamping process, while using the...

Environment preservation and protection belong to the greatest challenges the world has set for the next decade. The consequence is an increasing number of environmental protection organizations, environmental standards, legislative regulations and limitations forcing companies into production that impacts the environment as little as possible. Environment contains both toxic and non-toxic atoms, ions and molecules. Industries are the major so...

Although clinical depression is an exhaustively-researched phenomenon, the effect of medication may have compromised many previous studies. Some research shows that medication and its side effects reduce a range of psychological and physiological functioning: unfortunately, the impacts of medication are poorly documented. This book, examines personality, brain electrical activity and neuropsychology functioning in medication-free clinically de...
