Quantum Dots for Detection of Harmful Waterborne Bacterial Pathogens

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Harmful bacteria are the most common cause of food- and waterborne illnesses. Infection often leads to bloody diarrhoea, and occasionally to kidney failure. Several strains of the bacteria Escherichia coli produce a powerful toxin which causes serious illness. Food and water can be contaminated with other bacteria like Salmonella, Coliform, Pseudomonas, etc. Hence, it has become important to rapidly detect and identify infectious bacteria. Colloidal luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) have elicited a great deal of interest in the biosensing community due to their unique fluorescent properties. Here ZnS:Mn2+ QDs are synthesised and biofunctionalised with chitosan. They are attached to the anionic cell wall of E. coli bacteria and different properties of this compound system are studied. These nanocrystals may offer cost effective and quicker alternative to detect single bacterium compared to other conventional methods. Several characterization methods are discussed. The particle size calculated is approximately 8 10nm. The blue shift of PL peak has been observed after the bacteria get attached. ····· 10361100062

Antioxidant & anticancer activity of Podophyllum hexandrum

In biological system the generation of free radicals is a normal phenomenon. Sometimes these free radicals are generated in such an amount that the body s defense mechanism is not able to remove them and as a result stress is developed in the body. This process is called as the oxidative stress and may be defined as a shift in the prooxidant- antioxidant balance towards the oxidants or peroxidants. The free radicals are the chemical species which have unpaired electrons and are thus very unstable and reactive. In order to attain stability they react with their neighboring atoms to gain the electrons and as a result new free radicals are generated, which in turn attack the other nearby molecules causing a cascade of reactions. Aerobic organisms use oxygen to oxidize food and obtain the energy, a phenomenon essential for their sustenance. But during this oxidation process the oxygen molecule itself get reduced and form an intermediate called as the reactive oxygen species (ROS). The intermediates that are formed during the oxidizing process are hydro peroxide radicals (HO2), Superoxide radicals (O2-), Hydrogen peroxide radicals (H2O2) and hydroxyl radicals (OH ). ····· 1036199558

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location. Human beings have attempted to predict the weather informally for millennia and formally since at least the nineteenth century. Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of the atmosphere and using scientific understanding of atmospheric processes to project how the atmosphere will evolve.This project paper concerns an analysis on a set of a data on rainfall of Dhaka division during the period 1981-2009 from the meteorological department of Bangladesh. The Box-Jenkins Modeling approaches were used to forecast rainfall.It is hoped that the forecasts of meteorological events would be great help to the user researcher and policy maker. ····· 1036199556

Understanding Biodiversity Conservation and Vegetation Ecology

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Ecology and socio-economy has been crucial for biodiversity conservation all around the globe. The one-horned rhinoceros is also witnessing serious threats within its habitats. In Chitwan National Park, Nepal, rhino population shows dramatic fluctuation. Few years back it continued to decline because of widespread poaching. The book tries to argue that not only the marginalized households but also the well-to-do households are susceptible to poaching. This book highlights that people are involved in these activities due to three areas of conflict: resource availability, livelihood and biodiversity conservation. Buffer zone management committees, who receive 50% of the Park revenue, have a greater role in rhino conservation by enabling these poorer households to earn through any or all activities. This is a priority for buffer zone committees so that their livelihood is enhanced and survival of the rhino is less threatened. This book is expected to make constructive contribution towards park and its buffer zone management. It can also be a useful resource for further research and investigations. ····· 1036199518

Dynamic Response of Ageing Concrete Gravity Dams

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
There are about 50,000 old dams all over the world operating over 50 years (Jia, 2010). Concrete dams are generally massive structures retaining huge volume of water, failure of which may lead to catastrophic loss of human lives and properties. Environmental issues and the cost of building a new dam are very high, which makes it inevitable to enhance the service life of existing dams. This makes its important to develop a methodology to predict the safety of existing dams and design new dams in such a way that they can have a very long service life. The performance of a concrete dam is further complicated as it is a system consisting of a reservoir, a foundation and the dam itself. Concrete as a building material and construction technology has evolved over the years. Dams undergoing the process of ageing are found to have some distinct symptoms that may cause a chain of events leading to its failure. The foundation below the dam and the reservoir are continued loading may either cause settlement or induce earthquake. In this work, a procedure to predict the dynamic behavior of ageing dams is presented. ····· 1036198689

Employee Financial Participation in European Companies

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
There is discrepancy of the diffusion of Financial Participation schemes in EU member and candidate countries. The incidence of FP is conditional on country specific characteristics, firm specific characteristics and/or trade unions attitude. A supportive government and legal framework and a friendly trade union attitude may lead to increasing level of FP incidence. Companies that use other HRM measures (e.g. training) as well as large companies may be more prone to using FP schemes. Looking at the benefits and drawbacks of the variety of qualitative datasets which contain information on FP, we choose the EWCS dataset for our analyzes because of the high response rates, the high geographic coverage of EU member and candidate countries, the large number of observations, and because the respondents of the questionnaire are employees not the management. Our econometric results suggest that FP schemes used in the EU are discriminatory rather than providing equal opportunity for all employees - discriminatory with respect to gender and selective with respect to employee category, education level, size and sector of activity of the company. ····· 1036192171

This study examines and considers the effects of country conditions in Russia on entry strategy selected by small and medium foreign manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs), which is a SME in manufacturing. The purpose of this exploratory study was to further contribute to the development of the theory of the entry strategy of SMEs in emerging markets, currently being in its infant stage. The theoretical framework employed in this study was Dunning s (1993) eclectic model. Specifically, the framework is used to study how the similarities and differences in country conditions affect the entry-strategy choices of foreign SMMEs and large manufacturing multinational enterprises (MNMEs) in the emerging market of Russia. Based on these similarities and differences, the conclusions and propositions concerning foreign SMMEs choices of entry strategy in emerging markets were developed. The international market entry strategy consists of a timing of entry, place of entry (as well as the choice of a place within the country), and a scale of entry. This qualitative study combined analysis of secondary data analysis with face-to-face interviews (with foreign firms decision makers in Russia. ····· 1036192169

Shariah approved companies (ShAC) is one of the components of the Islamic capital market in Malaysia. The objective of the first part of the book is to develop a theoretical framework for voluntary disclosure form an Islamic perspective. The objective of the empirical part of the book is to examine the extent of voluntary disclosure (i.e. overall, conventional and Islamic) in the annual reports of ShAC. In addition, is to investigate the relationship between the extent of voluntary disclosure and firm-specific characteristics. The book developed a theoretical framework based on a holistic approach which includes conventional and Islamic perspectives. The empirical results show that the extent of voluntary disclosure is low for the three categories, however it is higher for conventional than Islamic. The results also reveal that firm size is statistically associated with the extent of voluntary disclosure. Whereas, the ownership structure is significant with overall and conventional voluntary disclosure, but the type of audit firm is significant with the overall and Islamic voluntary disclosure. Moreover, the industry type is significant with the Islamic voluntary disclosure. ····· 1036192038

Cities, water and war

In the emergencies resulting from conflicts affecting cities of the developing world, water supply is among the most essential service to restore. It is part of the urban services commonly managed by local water institutions. Partnerships between aid agencies and these institutions do not always happen because local government is rarely trusted as a reliable partner. This study tackles the problem by determining how these partnerships may influence the outcome of aid operations both in emergencies and in rehabilitation projects. It is based on case studies from Afghanistan, Sri-Lanka, Liberia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti and Chechnya. In emergency operations, findings show that partnerships do not always beneficial in the short term but prepare for rehabilitation. Current practice with rehabilitation projects maintaining a separation between large-scale interventions and community-based operations has a detrimental effect on sustainability and fails to address the needs of the most vulnerable. The study recommends a more coordinated approach reconciling sustainability and universal service. ····· 1036192027

The introduction of a new framework by the Institute of Internal Auditors has extended the role of internal auditors to include the monitoring function of risk management.This research examines the mediating effect of role ambiguity on the relationship between individual and organizational factors and performance of internal auditors in risk management functions using role theory as the theoretical basis. Data for the study are obtained through questionnaire survey administered on internal auditors from companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is used for analysis. The results suggest that role ambiguity is a strong mediator for the relationship between individual and organizational factors and performance of risk management function. In addition the study finds significant negative relationship between competency, autonomy, mechanistic organizational structure and in-house auditing with role ambiguity. Further, a significant negative relationship is found between role ambiguity and performance of risk management function.This study also adds evidence to support the application of role theory in a professional role. ····· 1036191745

Adolescents contraceptive use in low resource settings

While several factors including social norms, policies and some adolescent attributes have been associated with use of contraceptives in most developing countries (UNFPA 2003), the determinants of low use in Uganda are not well explored. This study therefore aimed to explore the factors influencing contraceptive use among adolescents in Uganda. The study used literature review and in depth telephone interviews to collect data. Several documents on adolescent sexual practices from Uganda were reviewed, including policy documents from the Ministry of Health (MoH). Data analysis was done using Dahlgren and Whitehead s (Dahlgren and Whitehead 1991) conceptual framework to demonstrate how individual, societal and policy factors impact on adolescent contraceptive use outcomes.The study therefore concludes that, unless policies, society norms and individual barriers of contraceptive use are addressed, low contraceptive use is more likely to continue in Uganda. Specifically also, there is need to train health workers in such a way that can remove their negative attitudes to the provision of contraceptives to adolescents. ····· 1036191519

Internal Whistleblowing Intentions

Whistleblowing is a type of ethical decision-making behaviour, and it has been one of the positive outcome behaviours investigated in the ethical decision-making literature. The issue has garnered widespread attention since the collapse of global multinational companies which lead to the passage of the renowned Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Since then a vast amount of research has been conducted in the whistleblowing stream, though it is still predominantly taking place largely in western countries. Such studies as have been undertaken in Asian countries neglect to consider how Malaysian respondents might play their roles in undertaking this type of ethical decision-making behaviour. ····· 1036191494

What is the interaction between a country s institutions and its practice of resource exploitation The Development Stories of Equatorial Guinea and Botswana studies and compares these two countries growth acceleration episodes and their vulnerability to the resource curse phenomenon following the respective discoveries of diamonds and oil. While Botswana, characterized by inclusive and democratic institutions, succeeded in transferring much of the benefits deriving from the natural resource exploitation to society, Equatorial Guinea s corrupt government retained all the oil-generated wealth and prevented the population s standard of living from improving. The book focuses first on comparing the two countries development records and on understanding the discrepancy between the two growth acceleration episodes.The second section analyses Public-Private Partnerships potential benefits for the developing world via an empirical Game Theoretic methodology. As it will be finally unveiled,the results of this coordination exercise between public and private parties will present very different implications for a democratic country as Botswana and for a corrupt one as Equatorial Guinea. ····· 1036191469

Flood Resilient Sanitation for the Flood-Prone Areas of Bangladesh

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Bangladesh has made a significant effort to supply improved sanitation facilities in rural areas. As the best known option, the pit latrine was the most favorite technology. Yet, as Bangladesh is a country of flooding and high groundwater table, pit latrines not only flush out and cause pollution, they also become inaccessible during floods, and remain filled with silt after the floods. Every year floods destroy many sanitation facilities and force people to resort to open defecation, despite the capitalintensive investment. UDDTs were evaluated on their suitability for flood-prone areas and their affordability in the context of Bangladesh. A survey conducted in two flood-prone areas of Bangladesh showed that with an average height of 0.69 m the UDDTs are higher than the average highest flood level of 0.31 m. To decrease cost and construction complexity, a local design was developed based on the current pit latrine, at 50% of the costs of the current UDDTs. Although the resulting price is still not within reach for most Bangladeshi, the affordability can be increased if the avoided emptying costs as well as the added value of human excreta as a fertilizer are taken into account. ····· 1036191273
