RSM: A Key to Optimize Machining: Multi-Response Optimization of CNC Turning with Al-7020 Alloy
Parametric optimization, especially in machining of non-ferrous alloys seems to be quite rare and needs an immediate attention because of its associated downstream financial and non-financial losses. This book tries to fill the gap and presents an optimization problem of commonly used Al-7020 Alloy. Principles of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) have been implemented through Minitab software to bring necessary multi-response optimization, while turning on a CNC turner. The present study focuses on to enhance Material Removal Rate (MRR) while simultaneously reducing the Surface Roughness (Ra), during turning of Al-alloy. Such opposite natured response optimization is much difficult to achie...
Aspect-Oriented Programming Evaluated: A Study on the Impact that Aspect-Oriented Programming Can Have on Software Development Productivity
Aspect-oriented-programming is a relatively new technique that has evolved on top of the already well-established approach of object-oriented programming. When it is used correctly, it promises to remove many redundant parts of a code that appear repeatedly in an application, essentially untangling the original code. Thus, it can lead to a cleaner, more separated software design, to greater modularity and maintainability. Time-savings in software engineering can also be huge cost-savings, and anything that increases software quality is a welcome sight in an industry that in parts, still suffers from a bad reputation concerning the quality of its products. But, used in the wrong way or with i...
Urban food production: A contribution to urban resilience in Berlin?
Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: We are an urbanized species now. Since 2007, more than 50% of Earth s population lives in cities (UN-Habitat 2011). In countries of the global north, this share is even higher with 86% (UN-Habitat 2011). These are the indices for a contemporary exodus of humans into the cities which results in a dramatic shift of human spatial and material relationships with the rest of nature (Rees and Wackernagel 1996). Urbanization leads to a centralization of needs for natural resources and energy in densely populated areas. The provision for the needs of these densely populated areas is based on rural hinterlands. In times of cheap oil, these growing cities have a global impa...
Learning As A Function of Difficulty Values of the Learning Material: Learning To Be
Learning as a function of difficulty - value of the learning material is designed to create suitable learning conditions in the classroom. The author used the best means and methods of instruction out of so many available with him. In this way, she reaches the objectives which she formulates in the beginning and increase the effectiveness of teaching to maximum level possible. This is done by controlling all the relevant factors such as the teaching process, contents strategies, material aids, behaviour of students, behaviour of teachers, educational environmental etc. It treats the learners as experimenter in the class who are given least opportunity to manipulate. The book thus fills a need of an hour for a systematic account of the concept and holding project work. An attempt has been made in this volume to document the strategies adapted for the better teaching-learning process.
The Governance of Climate Change Adaptation in Developing Countries: The Case of National Disaster Management in Bangladesh and Pakistan in Comparative Perspective
The prospect of the adverse effects that global climate change will have on human societies, opened up a discourse about the way adaptation should be managed. In order to finance adaptation measures in the most severe affected countries, the parties of the Kyoto Protocol established the Adaptation Fund in 2007. In view of the limited resources that are available for adaptation, scales for the prioritization of countries that are based on their suspected vulnerability, have been developed in literature. But so far, indicators of vulnerability reflect only the general indicators of human development, and therefore, fail to capture the complex structures of vulnerability. In order to capture th...
The Paradox that is Diplomatic Recognition: Unpacking the Somaliland Situation
Somaliland is an example of a territory that has fulfilled the conditions that are pre-requisite for state recognition in the international system. Somaliland is however, not recognised as a state. Questions abound about why Somaliland finds itself in this situation when there are territories which obtained recognition after fulfilling a fraction of what Somaliland has achieved. This study contributes to answering the aforementioned questions. This study has certain objectives. It delved into the examination of the criteria that is used for the recognition of states in the international system. It also analyses the role of intergovernmental organizations in the non-recognition of Somaliland. The objective of this study is also to make an assessment of the nature of interactions between Somaliland, and other actors in the international system.
The Evolution of the Responsibility to Protect: From the ICISS to the 2005 World Summit
This book provides a discussion of the main events and arguments that have influenced the debate around the R2P and the principle’s evolution, namely, the war on terror and the 2003 war in Iraq, the crisis in Darfur, and lastly, the U.N. Security Council buy-in regarding the ICISS articulated criteria to guide the use of military force in humanitarian intervention. A central theme underlying this book is the claim that the international system is experiencing a change in the writers/authors of the rules of the system. The argument is built upon the abovementioned main factors that influence the R2P’s evolution as evidence – the central assertion being that the war in Iraq has weakened the moral standing of the U.S. and the U.K., and has negative impact on the credibility of these states as norm carriers. This has not only diminished their ability to build consensus on and commitment to the R2P, but has also engendered widespread hostility and suspicion towards the principle.
Core-Real Estate Investments in Times of Crisis: Exemplified by the Frankfurt and London Office Market
Currently, the crisis situation is driving the real estate markets around the world. Mainly in focus are so called, core' real estate investments: the most stable, nicest looking, most rented out and most ideally located investments. With these investments, investors intend to eliminate almost all risks. But are they really able to do so? This book takes a closer look at the asset class and investment strategy, core' and tries to promote a clearer understanding of what, core' really is and what requirements this investment category has to fulfill. Furthermore, a new detention has been developed to narrow down a globally working detention throughout all asset types but mainly focusing on offi...
Analysis of Cultural Differences and Their Effects on Marketing Products in the United States of America and Germany: A Cultural Approach to Marketing Using Edward T. Hall and Geert Hofstede
"Companies that do not adapt to the new global realities will become victims of those that do." In this quote Theodor Levitt, a former professor at the Harvard Business School, points out that companies all over the world need to deal with a process which has changed the way they carry on a business in many ways. The process, namely globalisation, takes advantages as well as disadvantages, not only for the business world but also for the individual. The importance to face globalisation has always been there but, it has increased with the evolving stages of globalisation. Ever since this process started, companies have tried to derive advantage from globalisation while at the same time they h...
International Synergy Management: A Strategic Approach for Raising Efficiencies in the Cross-border Interaction Process
Global economic integration has changed business conditions significantly. Corporations operating internationally and establishing foreign subsidiaries are facing the obligation as well as the challenge to profit from cross-border interaction. However, potential synergetic benefits provided by the international environment are accompanied by even more demanding challenges. This study elaborates to which extend German small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses could benefit from the implementation of a strategic cross-border synergy management. The study is based on a single case study deriving the research hypotheses and a survey investigating cross-border interaction throughout a sampl...
