Role of Wheat in Afghanistan's Food Security - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Role of Wheat in Afghanistan's Food Security - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Wheat is a key staple food in Afghanistan, accounting for over half of the caloric intake of the population. It is also Afghanistan''s major crop, accounting for roughly 70 percent of the cultivated land area. However, the country''s domestic production of wheat is inadequate for meeting demand and, moreover, is subject to sizeable weather induced fluctuations. Imports from surrounding countries have been required in order for Afghanistan to meet its need for wheat. This book discusses the role of wheat in Afghanistan''s food security.

Non-violence - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Non-violence - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The so-called ''war on terror'' has gone badly for the West, playing directly into the strategy of al-Qa''ida and the rest of the terrorist network. Why did this happen? Were there other approaches that might have been implemented with better prospects of success? This edited collection of perspectives on the non-violent counter to terrorism opens the topic to serious consideration. The development of a non-violent paradigm brings into sharp focus the deficiencies of present thinking, and paves the way for comprehending how non-violence might overcome those deficiencies and introduce viable alternatives. Since there is a general ignorance about the history, theory and operational dynamics of non-violence, these aspects are featured throughout the book, and related to the special case of terrorism. To understand empathetically the background and mind-set of the opponent (without condoning his actions), to study his culture, to avoid the strategic trap he has set, to examine the different gender reactions of a Muslim Society, to differentiate between non-violent Islam and Islamic Terrorism, to jettison the misinformed baggage we carry about violence, to appreciate the positive role education and aesthetics can play, and to investigate ways in which a non-violent counter to terrorism might be staged, including a Gandhian response. These are just some of the tasks that the contributors have collectively pursued. Their ideas excitingly open up a whole new set of possibilities for a more peaceful world.

Durum Wheat - Reza Mohammadi - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Durum Wheat - Reza Mohammadi - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In this book, experienced scientists in the field describe the importance of durum wheat as an adapted cash crop for drylands in detail, as well as a valuable food crop that must be paid more attention in relation to climate change, global warming, world population growth rate and declining food production resource. It is a ready valuable reference on the subject and reinforces the understanding for durum wheat production promotion as an environmentally sustainable and profitable crop and also its health benefits for its consumers. Various elements of durum wheat are described, highlighting associated breeding and analyzing the experiences and challenges. It proposes some practical innovations and new areas of research for promotion of durum production in drylands and also its consumption instead of major food crops that are not as water-use efficient and have lower nutritional value than durum wheat, such as rice that are over consumed by people in dryland areas. This book also describes the trends in grain yield and quality of durum wheat and its importance as main sources of calories and proteins in many developing countries. It also reports genetic gains achieved by plant breeding in the last decades; and gathers known functional information on the genes conferring biotic and abiotic stresses in durum wheat to cope with climate variable environmental conditions. This book is an invaluable source of information for scientists, teachers, students, agricultural policy makers, and pasta and other durum products companies. Moreover, nutritionists must read the chapter about the importance of durum as a valuable food crop, to realize that in their food recommendation to people they must take into consideration the Earth and its diminishing food production resources.

Non-Marital Childbearing - Gilberto De La Rayes - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Marital Childbearing - Gilberto De La Rayes - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the significant increase in non-marital births in the United States, the possible reasons behind the change, and things that can be done to control it. In 2006, a record 38.5% of all United States births were non-marital births. Many of these children grow up in mother-only families. Although most children who grow up in mother-only families or step-parent families become well-adjusted, productive adults, the bulk of empirical research indicates that children who grow up with only one biological parent in the home are more likely to be financially worse off and have worse socio-economic outcomes (even after income differences are taken into account) compared to children who grow up with both biological parents in the home. This book analyses the trends in non-marital childbearing, discusses some of the characteristics of unwed mothers, addresses some issues involving the fathers of children born outside of marriage, covers many of the reasons for non-marital childbearing, examines the impact of non-marital births on families and on the nation, and presents the public policy interventions that have been used to prevent non-marital births or ameliorate some of the negative financial consequences that are sometimes associated with non-marital child-bearing. This is an edited, excerpted and augmented edition of a NVSR publication.

Hydropower & Energy Potential at Non-Powered Dams - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Hydropower & Energy Potential at Non-Powered Dams - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The United States has produced clean, renewable electricity from hydropower for more than 100 years, but hydropower-producing facilities represent only a fraction of the infrastructure development that has taken place on the nation''s waterways. In contrast to the roughly 2,500 dams, the United States has more than 80,000 non-powered dams (NPDs)-- dams that do not produce electricityproviding a variety of services ranging from water supply to inland navigation. Importantly, many of the monetary costs and environmental impacts of dam construction have already been incurred at NPDs, so adding power to the existing dam structure can often be achieved at lower cost, with less risk, and in a shorter time-frame than development requiring new dam construction. This book discusses hydropower generation, government involvement at federal and non-federal levels and the energy potential at non-powered dams.

Non-Age Related Macular Degeneration - Enzo B Mercier - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Age Related Macular Degeneration - Enzo B Mercier - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Macular degeneration is diagnosed as either dry (non-neovascular) or wet (neovascular). Neovascular refers to growth of new blood vessels in an area, such as the macula, where they are not supposed to be. The dry form is more common than the wet, with about 85%-90% patients diagnosed. The wet form of the disease usually leads to more serious vision loss. Different forms of macular degeneration may occur in younger patients. These non-age related cases may be linked to heredity, diabetes, nutritional deficits, head injury, infection, or other factors. This book presents the latest research from around the world.

Salmonella Pathogenesis and Progression in the Development of Human & Veterinary Non-Typhoidal Salmonella Vaccines Against Human Salmonellosis - John

Salmonella Pathogenesis and Progression in the Development of Human & Veterinary Non-Typhoidal Salmonella Vaccines Against Human Salmonellosis - John

The important foodborne zoonotic pathogen non-typhoidal Salmonella cause gastroenteritis, bacteremia and focal infection in humans. Salmonella evades the host''s immune system through the coordinated expression of complex arrays of virulence associated-genes. The dynamics of host-pathogen Salmonella enterica interaction and infection might enhance the development of novel targeted preventative measures and drug regimens. However, widespread usage of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multiple antibiotic-resistant Salmonella. To avoid this problem, effective vaccines are developed to control non-typhoidal Salmonella zoonotic infections. An understanding of how Salmonella enterica spreads and survives in tissues has very important implications for targeting intracellular Salmonella with vaccine-induced immune responses. Application of advanced knowledge and scientific methods in the development of vaccines could diminish the non-typhoidal Salmonella disease burden globally. Currently, the oral live attenuated vaccines showed an efficient protection against non-typhoidal Salmonella zoonotic infection. However, inactivated or sub-unit vaccines are considered to be the safest over live vaccines. Ultimately, this review explores the molecular basis of non-typhoidal Salmonella pathogenesis. In addition to pathogenesis, recent advances in generation of Salmonella vaccines are also emphasised. This review also gives a deep insight into the future development of Salmonella vaccines with different innovations.

Non-Nested Regression Models - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Nested Regression Models - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses two interrelated problems in economics modelling: non-nested hypothesis testing in econometrics, and regression models with stochastic/random regressors. The primary motivation for this book stems from the nature of econometric models. As an abstraction from reality, each statistical model consists of mathematical relationships and stochastic, behavioural assumptions. In practice, the validity of these assumptions and the adequacy of the mathematical specifications is ascertained through a series of diagnostic and specification tests. Conventional test procedures, however, fail to recognise that economic theory generally provides more than one distinct model to explain any given economic phenomenon.

Non-Valency Interaction in Organic Peroxides Homolysis Reactions - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Valency Interaction in Organic Peroxides Homolysis Reactions - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the chemical processes of the radical polymerisation of different vinyl monomers, initiated vulcanisation of rubbers and curing of the polyester resins. Organic peroxides are mainly used as the initiators. Their main advantages are the thermal stability within the definite interval of temperatures and in different media, reactivity of the primary oxy -- radicals in different reactions and their initiation efficiency and non -- toxicity of the final decomposition products. The complexity of the above -- said properties of the organic peroxides should be taken into account under solving the problem of their purposeful synthesis.

Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation for Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing - Liu Dabo - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation for Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing - Liu Dabo - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) consists of a series of disorders varying from primary snoring to OSAHS. Untreated SDB affects cognition, behavior, development, and the child''s quality of life. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are the primary treatment for child SDB. However, recent studies found that many children with SDB had abnormal PSG after surgery, and in this case, NPPV should be used. Of course, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation is not just a supplemental therapy for surgical treatment of SDB. It is also an important non-surgical option with well documented clinical efficacy and safety. However, during long-term home-based therapy, intensive follow-up and close monitoring of caregivers is necessary to ensure patient safety, particularly for children in the developing countries and regions. We have done some research about children''s CPAP therapy, especially in the internet-based remote monitoring field, and had published some articles. We had evaluated the practicality, convenience and satisfaction of the remote monitoring system, and we will be glad to share our experience with more people.

Anesthesia for Non-Anesthesiologists - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Anesthesia for Non-Anesthesiologists - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Anesthesiology is one of the least understood medical specialties. The drugs and equipment are specialized to a point where physicians in other fields have little knowledge of how they work. Moreover, the specific techniques and concerns of anesthesiologists regarding patient care are scarcely known outside of the specialty. Most physicians have had a paltry amount of training in anesthesia, if any at all. Within many medical schools, there is no requirement to rotate in anesthesiology; if required, the rotation is seen sometimes as a means to practice intubations and place IVs for a period of two to four weeks, instead of actually learning anesthesia techniques and practices. As their role in patient care has stretched outside of the operating room, anesthesiologists have found that there is often frustration and even conflict in dealing with other specialties that do not understand the concerns and necessities that accompany this practice. Why is NPO important? Why does the patient need to see a cardiologist pre-operatively? Why would the patient benefit from using Drug A vs Drug B? These questions come up not only in the operating room, but on the obstetrical floor, in the endoscopy suite, in the critical care units and elsewhere. It is the authors hope that this book, Anesthesia for Non-Anesthesiologists, will help to decrease such problems. With chapters written by a variety of anesthesiologists and subspecialty clinicians at a major teaching hospital, and edited by experienced academic physicians, the target audience for this work includes physicians, medical residents, and students who wish to understand how anesthesiologists think and why they think as they do.

Behavioral Study of 'Non-Opioid' Tolerance - Merab G Tsagareli - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Behavioral Study of 'Non-Opioid' Tolerance - Merab G Tsagareli - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pain is a response of the body to the action of injuring stimuli. Notwithstanding an unpleasant experience, it appears to be an important component of the defence system of the organism and a permanent regulator of homeostatic reaction. The organism''s reaction to pain is a multi-component one and involves sensory-discriminative, emotional-affective and cognitive characteristics. Clinically, neuropathic pain is characterised by spontaneous ongoing or shooting pain and evoked amplified pain responses after nocuous or innocuous stimuli. The study of pain, therefore, and search for the treatment strategies have a paramount role in modern neurobiology. Numerous anatomy-physiological studies have revealed a number of brain structures involved in the shaping of pain and endogenous analgesia. This book presents and examines current research discovered in a behavioural study of ''non-opioid'' tolerance.

Gluten-Free Diets and Health - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Gluten-Free Diets and Health - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Over the past several decades, gluten-free diets have attracted wide public interest, in large part due to their efficacy in treating celiac disease. However, such diets present nutritional risks, as gluten-free products can be low in protein, dietary fiber, and other nutrients. Chapter One of this book discusses techniques for improving the nutritional value of gluten-free foods as well as their textural and sensorial features. The second chapter discusses gluten-free cheese bread enriched with essential fatty acids, and how such enrichment improves the overall quality of the food. Similarly, the third chapter explores the technological and sensory properties of gluten-free muffins made with chickpea flour and describes the effects of various muffin formulations. The final chapter describes gluten-free Mexican sweet bread and analyzes the physiochemical characteristics of taro flour and gluten-free muffins made with taro flour.

Nonlinear Models in Mathematical Finance - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an overview on the current state-of-the-art research on non-linear option pricing. Non-linear models are becoming more and more important since they take into account many effects that are not included in the linear model. However, in practice (i.e. in banks) linear models are still used, giving rise to large errors in computing the fair price of options. Hence, there exists a noticeable need for non-linear modelling of financial products. This book will help to foster the usage of non-linear Black-Scholes models in practice.

President Trump's National Security Strategy Non-Doctrine - Leonard Cutler - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

President Trump's National Security Strategy Non-Doctrine - Leonard Cutler - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

"President Donald Trump never developed a National Security Strategy or Doctrine. Rather he went from issue to issue, challenge to challenge, and position to position without a detailed framework or plan. Trump used unpredictability and disruption to achieve his goals and objectives, with the principal objective being playing the game better, harder, and tougher while reducing the costs and risks for American global leadership. Trump''s national security approach promoted American sovereignty, military interests, and deals that advanced America first rather than reinforcing alliances that were of marginal value to our interests. President Donald Trump''s transactional personalized approach to other world leaders in many instances ignored American values and interests. This was clearly the case with respect to his relationship with MbS of Saudi Arabia, Kim Jong-Un of North Korea, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and even the president''s failed attempt to pursue Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei of Iran. His willingnessto accept and embrace positions taken by foreign adversaries over those of his own national security team, allies abroad, or even allies in the Congress defined Trump''s approach to national security policy which preferred short term gains for him rather than securing the long term interests for the United States. Trump believed that keeping allies and adversaries perpetually off balance accrued to the benefit of the United States. America First and foremost meant that the president did not have to apologize for anything the United States did under his leadership, and he saw no adequate substitute for American power while insisting that our regional allies and coalitions bore a greater share of the burden in providing for the common defense, and he believed that we were vulnerable if our allies were resolute or unprepared. Trump''s National Security Non-Doctrine has transitioned to the Biden Presidency which seeks to renew American engagement in the world in ways that reinvigorate the global norms for cooperative behavior. The United States'' allies and adversaries remain the same today as they were four years ago and unilateral policies are highly unlikely to advance America''s main goals; rather, they are likely to undermine its security and prosperity. President Biden has emphasized that multilateral engagement remains in America''s interest as the best strategy to securing peace and prosperity. I reflect in the first chapter on the recent scholarly research of Frank Ninkovich, Mel Gurov, and Robert Jervisas it relates to Trump''s approach to national security policy and issues and how my approach is distinct from theirs with respect to the themes and issues examined in my manuscript. I also reflect upon my personal interaction and conversation with H.R McMaster on the significance of the National Security Strategy Report of 2017, and the highly limited and questionable role that it played for the Trump Administration"--

Small Business & Employment - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Since small businesses have historically created a disproportionately large share of new jobs, this book analyses the factors that lead new businesses without employees to hire their first employee. This is a significant aspect of small business job creation. Given that about three in four small businesses do not have employees, these non-employer businesses present an important source of potential new jobs. Non-employer firms -- businesses without employees -- represent a large percentage of businesses; however, little is known about their dynamics (entry and exit). This book seeks to illustrate basic statistics about the prevalence of entry and exit for non-employers and the local conditions that led to their entry.
