Such a study about this interaction between soil & structure is called as Soil-Structure Interaction. The importance of this study becomes more crucial and significant when such structure exists in areas prone to Natural Hazards like High Seismic Zones or High Flooding Areas. The prime focus of this research study is also to consider the interaction between soil & foundation in case of a seismic event and its influence on the structure which than can be described as a study of Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction. ····· 10361133074

To be able to control the large number of parameters affecting the soil to concrete interface behavior, granular soil was manufactured using fly ash by cold bonding pelletization technique with predetermined shape and crushing strength.In practice, it is a common approach to multiply the internal friction angle with a reduction factor and assume this value as the interface friction angle. However, direct shear tests on the synthetic aggregates showed that the interface performance is highly related with crushing strength, shape and surface characteristics of granular materials, and also the surface characteristics of the concrete in contact. In geotechnical applications where soil and concrete are in touch, the behavior within the working conditions should be carefully studied and further attention must be paid on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials. ····· 10361132902
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book is a collection of unpublished papers and was based on my research for more than ten years regarding the educational aspects of the greenhouse effect and global warming. These researches were presented in national and international conferences and fine details were not fully made out as papers. The questionnaires used in these researches are also provided and it can be a good guide for future researches.Global warming is accelerated by human activities like industrialization, deforestation, farming and increased energy consumption through transportation and use of air conditioners. There are several national and international reports emphasising the importance of education and community based actions to reduce the impacts of environmental problems. Citizens need to be scientifically literate about the greenhouse gases effect and global warming in order to participate in decision-making and to take appropriate actions in their own lives for a sustainable, green and clear environment. Collectively these decisions and actions have similar impact and significance as those taken by industry to reduce carbon emission by adapting clean and alternative sources of energy. ····· 10361132862

Countries have been working on teaching their languages. The number of similar studies in Turkey increases gradually and in this context, teaching Turkish to foreigners has become common rapidly. Turkish is taught in many places not only in the country, but also internationally. Institutions teaching Turkish compose their own teaching materials in parallel with their curriculums. Various approaches in terms of content can be observed in these curriculums. As also seen in the coursebooks evaluated in one of the chapters of this study, tenses in Turkish are taught in different orders. This case, which is also regarded as a variance of approaches, exhibits the lack of a universal attitude towards teaching Turkish to foreigners.The purpose of this study is to propose solutions to the matter of teaching order of tenses in Turkish teaching programs, as well as propounding a standardized approach towards this issue. As an outcome of this research, a sample lesson plan is also attached. ····· 10361132698

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Jade Snow Wong s two autobiographies Fifth Chinese Daughter (1950) and No Chinese Stranger (1975) have been highly criticized for their seemingly integrationist rhetoric. Born in the 1920s, Wong started a career of writer and potter in order to create a better understanding between China and America and to find recognition as a Chinese American woman in both worlds. However, the contradictions and conflicts that result from the encounter of both cultures in her two books foreground instead that behind Wong s apparent assimilationism hides a more subversive and undermining discourse. Taking Lisa Lowe s definition of cultural hybridity as a starting point, this study revisits Wong s works through the lens of the competing and conflicting values inherent to Jade Snow s self-definition as a Chinese American woman. Furthermore, by opposing Wong s ceramics to her autobiographies, this study seeks to give yet another perspective on Wong s cultural hybridity. Whereas words highlight the tensions between Chinese and American values, her earthenwares emphasize the harmonious combination of both traditions. ····· 10361132684

This is due to the fact that pronominal clitics exhibit conflicting properties which makes it difficult to provide answers to a number of issues. This book provides an investigation into the syntax of pronominal clitics in Standard Arabic within the framework of the minimalist theory developed by Chomsky. It particularly addresses a range of issues, such as : the syntactic status of pronominal clitics, the syntactic position in which they are generated, the syntactic movement they undergo, the derivation of their enclitic form, and the kind of similarities and differences that Standard Arabic pronominal clitics may display with respect to their counterparts in other languages. The book will be of interest to linguists, teachers, researchers and to anyone interested in language study and syntactic theory. ····· 10361132421

Focalization, a key concept in Structuralism, helps clarify the difference between `voice` (who speaks ) and `vision` (who sees ), between narration and perspective. Narrative focalization is also crucial in the analysis and perception of subjectivity and ideology in narrative fiction , mainly the perceptual, the psychological, and the ideological formulations of the narrative discourse.The book is devoted to show the working of narrative focalization in the text.Many findingd are reached: The narrative strategy of the novel is unconventional, unstructured, does not maintain a sense of unity or movement or closure, it has narrative disruptions and `inconsistencies`, etc. Yet, the examination of the mechanics of narrative does no necessarily mean to preclude the possibility of interpretation and contextualization. ····· 10361132064
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Relationship between linguistics and literature study is widely discussed in contemporary literary theory. Linguistics has enormously contributed towards the growth of modern literary theory. Nineteenth century linguists were interested in the ways in which languages change across the ages. This book tries to explain Structuralism, Post Structuralism and Post Modernism and attempts to apply the theories to literary texts to explain some of the concepts in context. Structuralism began in the 1950s and 1960s sown in the thinking of the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857 1913). Saussure s terms langue (language system as a whole) and parole (individual s language), synchrony (same point in time, simultaneous) and diachrony (historical axis, over a period of time), syntagmatic (axis of combination, chain) and paradigmatic (axis of selection, choice) relationships are keys terms used in Structuralism. Post Structuralism emerged as a reaction against Structuralism in France in the late 1960s and the two most important figures associated with it are Roland Barthes and Derrida.Modernism believed in producing literature which is dedicated to experimentation and innovation. ····· 10361131955
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The Color Purple is a novel which raised much controversial debate. However criticism has been more concerned with the social issues aroused in the novel rather than with its literary merits. The book therefore endeavors to demonstrate that beyond its social concerns, The Color Purple is a novel which preserves the richness of the spiritual life of the Black woman, through the religious experience it represents as well as through oppression and survival themes, as it is a novel of a profound artistic achievement. Thus, this book offers a reading of the technical strategies that testify upon the artistic value of the novel. Then through intertextual modes of analysis, The Color Purple is read as text which finds its theme and technique in other literary texts written by Black female writers as Phyllis Wheatley, Zora Neale Hurston, and Gwendolyn Brooks among others, who were all concerned with the spiritual life of the Black woman. This book may therefore be useful to students of literature as well as to all those interested in Women s Studies. ····· 10361131926
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Learning a second or foreign language has challenged many a learner, and there is no shortage of theories proposed by specialists in a hope to make this intriguing task a bit simpler. The fact is that we are still far away from a perfect understanding of the processes involved in learning a second language which make it so different from acquiring L1. What we do know for sure is, however, that the ability to speak a foreign language requires more than a mere knowledge of its grammatical and semantic rules. Learners must acquire the knowledge of how native speakers use the language naturally by capitalizing on a wealth of prefabricated forms such as collocations and idioms. Based on such an assumption, this book sheds light on the relationship between collocational knowledge, speaking proficiency, and oral use of collocations in an EFL context, with a focus on the role L1 transfer plays in their production. ····· 10361131897

For the purposes of advancing an objective and coherent argument it comparatively examines lexicological, phonological, syntactic and semantic aspects of Ndau and Mainstream Shona. The study explores the historical connections between the Ndau and the Shona people. It argues that the Ndau people were originally members of the ancient Rozvi Kingdom. It also establishes cultural and linguistic contacts between the Ndau and the Nguni people. This historic contact, as widely reported by linguists and historians tremendously contributed towards Ndau s linguistic divergence from Mainstream Shona, hereafter referred to as MS. This divergence is reflected through massive lexical, phonological and semantic differences between Ndau and MS. It portrays massive lexicological differences between Ndau and MS. Phonological aspects such as phonotactics, laterality, clicks, aspiration and ejection are also depicted as showing the influence of Nguni on Ndau. ····· 10361119178

Being defined as the translation of economy-centric Marxism into culture-oriented neo-Marxism by the initiating figures of the first generation of the Frankfurt School, namely, Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, the idea of culture industry is a plague by product of capitalism for its profit making motives that propels forth standardization and liquidation of individuality hence, culture has been mass produced and deprived of individuality and uniqueness. This thesis is an attempt to evaluate F. Scott Fitzgerald s The Beautiful and Damned and The Great Gatsby in the light of a cultural Marxist theorist Theodor W. Adorno.

According to the Islamic Azad University (IAU) regulations those entering students who score below 33.3 in this exam are required to take the PEC, the syllabus of which is purely structure-based. If PEC is to continue as the means by which to improve the English proficiency of low-ability students, it must be rigorously evaluated, and if necessary, substantially altered. The main purpose of this experimental study was to see whether PEC could lead to the higher attainment of English language proficiency. 1657 freshmen majoring in 22 different courses at the IAU in Ardabil participated in this study. Following a one-group pretest posttest design, seven different tests were administered to them twice in the form of pretests and posttests. Although very slight improvements were witnessed, the outcome indicated no efficiency on the part of PEC. Therefore, fundamental modifications in both the syllabus and textbook seem inevitable.

The author questions whether the World Trade Organization presents any significant trade and development opportunities for developing countries. She makes an assessment of the achievements and obstacles in regulating international trade with respect to developing countries. The effects of liberalization and globalization policies embodied in the WTO on the developing countries are analyzed, given such issues as regionalism, sovereignty, trade imbalances and the political will to implement policies agreed at the WTO. The author concludes that the World Trade Organization does not change the status quo of the world economic order and is still exclusive rather than inclusive. It largely promotes marginalization rather than integration of developing countries into Global trade . The author also further questions the role of the World Trade Organization as a panacea to economic development challenges faced by developing countries. ····· 10361118655· 1 ·· 2 ·· 3 ·· 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·
