Alstroemeria is a versatile cut flower and has occupied a prominent position among the top ten cut flowers in the global floriculture industry. The increasing popularity and acceptability in the global perspective has mainly attributed to the long vase life, wide spectrum of colors available, ever blooming habit and high yield of flowers besides ease into its cultivation under varied agroclimatic conditions. Plants are generally multiplied by ...

In the Cape Town Unicity Council, the frequent regime changes (2000-2008) and conflictual nature of local state politics between the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), had a negative effect on service delivery in the study areas of Parkwood Estate and Ottery. Regime politics advances that the complex relationship between political parties determines the quality and stability of the political order, and political ...

Many Malware detection systems these days are using signature based techniques to detect malwares and viruses. The zero day or new infected files are not detected by these signature based Anti Viruses and their signature is generated only after they have done their damage. Hence it becomes very important for a user to constantly update the antivirus software. To overcome these problems, we have proposed a solution based on Artificial Intellige...

Concerns, that the pattern of global news flow is inherently lopsided, has occupied the realm of discourse for decades now. Developing nations had in the 60s cried out against the imbalance in the volume, intensity and direction of flow of news, observing that more attention was given to developed countries of the Northern Hemisphere and little to developing nations of the South, as important events were ignored and reality distorted. This con...

Everywhere there is cheating. Young children are into drugs and prostitution, athletes are into steroids, piracy of music and movies.People now say: "private life is private life. We don't want other people interfering"Add up all the various forms of ethical and legal misconduct and You have a moral crisis and decay that needs much more than verbal talk.With the widespread lack of trust in the integrity of those whom people look up to for lead...

The pervasiveness of personal computing platforms o¿ers an unprecedented opportunity to deploy large-scale services that are distributed over wide physical spaces. We propose a number of new distributed resource management techniques, focusing on two application domains: distributed Field Monitoring Applications (FMAs), and Message Delivery Applications (MDAs).In the context of FMAs, we present two techniques that are well-suited to the limite...

The yield curve has long been a subject of interest to macroeconomists and financial economists since the term structure of interest rates carries important information about expectations, monetary policy and market risk factors. As expectation hypothesis suggest, it is possible to extract expectations of economic actors about future economic activity by torturing the term structure of interest rates. Recent economic and financial crisis has m...

There is much debate in academic advising practitioner literature and in the popular media over the influence exerted by involved parents on students and colleges. There is a broad consensus that parental involvement has increased to levels not previously witnessed on college campuses, changing the relationship between students, their parents, and the students' academic advisors. Although there has been much discussion among academic advising ...

A survey was conducted in the District Dir Lower, over a period of two years.Specimens of coccinellid beetles were collected from four major localities viz, Maidan, Jandool, Timergara and Adenzai. Identification of these beetles showedthat 14 different species in 12 genera belonging to sub-families Coccinellinae, Chilocorinae, Scymninae and Epilachninae are present in the selected area. Inthe sub-family Coccinellinae 10 Species belonging to 9 ...

The present book contains a complete and rigorous treatment of Gröbner bases for modules over commutative polynomial rings with coefficients in Noetherian rings (with some other natural computational conditions), and shows also non-trivial applications of this theory in homological algebra. Algorithmic proofs of some classical theorems of homological algebra using Gröbner bases and matrix constructive methods have been published in many recent...

Estimation of variance components in mixed linear models is an important problem in statistical inference to draw a valid and meaningful interpretation in many practical areas of research. ANOVA, Analogous to ANOVA, SS Approach, ML, REML, MML, MINQUE, MIVQUE and QLSE are some of the important methods available in literature for estimation of variance components in general mixed linear models. In this book we have introduced MTE, WQLSE and modi...

Inequality in land ownerships leads to an uncertain relationship among agriculture growth, level of poverty and income inequality in the economy. The increasing population and decreasing share of crop income in total household income compels the households to concentrate on other diversified sub-sectors. Livestock is the most vibrant segment of agriculture sector which can be helpful for improving the situation. The need of time is to estimate...

Teachers and learners alike have long struggled with the most appropriate procedures to solve the problem of the best way to learn a second or foreign language. Many theories and relevant applied methodologies have appeared during the last century all claiming to be superior to others in tackling the issue of L2 learning. Among the most fashionable and recent applications of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories has been task-based approa...

It aims to find a common pattern, a set of steps or features that are to be adopted in order to make a successful entry.Structurally the work is divided in four chapters - the first two parts are a theoretical background that summarizes the opinions and research on the digitalization of media and t...

Establishing the presence of "life-like emergent phenomena" is a major goal of simulation based artificial life (ALife) studies. This book presents an abstract algorithmic framework towards this goal. Presented framework is used to study observational processes by which time-varying entities are identified and their behaviour is observed to uncover higher-level emergent phenomena. Observations are formalized as algorithmic transformations from...

Over the last few years, River rafting has developed into an industry on the banks of The Holy Ganges, at Uttarakhand, India, giving a great boom to the tourism industry in this remote area. However, along with its growth none could envisage the growing socio-cultural and environmental problems associated with the development of this industry. Therefore, this book would give baseline knowledge about the present status of the industry and its i...

When designing mechanical control system, the designer is inevitably led to face the problems of kinematics, dynamics, and control. These subjects are explained with two practical application case studies. One is a spatial motion simulator, and the other is an inertially stabilized system (ISS) for tracking radar. Both two applications have many similar and opposite aspects in the point of kinematics, dynamics, and control. For kinematics, mot...
