Overview: Pioneering study in the field of seasonality-adjusted flexible micro-credit.Employs observational data and randomized control experiment techniques to address the key research questions.Numerous poten.The mismatch between credit repayments and income seasonality can create serious distortions. However, typically Micro-Finance Institutes (MFIs) do not provide any adjustments due to the income seasonality. For instance in Northern Bangladesh, Income and consumption downfalls during the time of post-Aman rice plantation seasons are quite regular phenomenon which is locally known as “Mon

Overview: Uses a historical and modern lens to reimagine the role of Extension.Argues for the importance of Extension.Imagines a different future in which state universities and land-grant colleges engage more This book uses a historical and modern lens to reimagine the role that Extension could potentially play in catalyzing reciprocal, co-learning relationships between Land-Grant Universities and their diverse local constituencies. The establishment of statewide extension systems was once seen as a way to ensure that Land-Grant Universities would be accessible and responsive to all of a stat

Overview: Contains a comprehensive analysis of the recent investigations.Aims to review and integrate the currently available information of the green and sustainable remediation technologies.Presents new and eEnvironmental contaminants are chemicals that accidentally or deliberately enter the environment, often, but not always, as a result of human activities. Some of these contaminants may have been manufactured for industrial use, and because they are very stable, they do not break down easily. If released to the environment, these contaminants may enter the food chain. Other environmental

Overview: The subject of this book is the synthesis of synchronous hardware. The purpose is to provide a firm mathematical foundation for the so-called space-time mapping methods for hardware synthesis that have been proposed during the last few years. Thus the treatment is fairly mathematical. In a space-time mapping method, an algorithm is described as a set of atomic events, with possible data dependencies between them. The task is to find a mapping, assigning a space-time coordinate to each event, so that causality is not violated and the solution is "good". Previous work in the area, if i

Overview: Practice-oriented future planning for SMEs.Future management in SMEs explained in a scientifically sound manner.With concrete assistance for pragmatic in-house solutions.As an entrepreneur - and especially leading a medium-sized company - can you prepare for the future in a targeted manner? Which methods work and where do you succumb to classic thinking errors when planning for the future? .This book shows how companies can develop viable future scenarios for their own market in order to remain successful and profitable in the future. Anyone who thought they were operating in a stabl

Overview: Street Scenes offers a theory of late medieval acting and performance through a fresh and original reading of the Tretise of Miraclis Pleyinge. The performance theory perspective employed here, along with the examination of actor/character dialectics, paves the way to understanding both religious theatre and the complexity of late medieval theatricalities. Sharon Aronson-Lehavi demonstrates the existence of a late medieval discourse about the double appeal of theatre performance: an artistic medium enacting sacred history while simultaneously referring to the present lives of its cre

Overview: Summarises the currently available seismic and engineering datapertaining to the seismic hazard of the capitals of the Central Asianrepublics. The conclusion is that the risk to residents of thesecities is extremely high. There is a roughly 40% probability that anearthquake will occur near one of the Central Asian republic‘scapitals within the next 20 years. Such an event will produce groundshaking in the affected city equal to the maximum ground shakingexperienced in Armenia and Sakhalin, i.e. MSK IX. The event will causetens of thousands of fatalities and at least 100,000 serious i

Overview: Co-written by a Deaf and hearing team.Establishes an inceptive model for creating a theatrical production involving Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing artists.Includes the perspective of directors, ac.This book explores an unacknowledged gap in theatre study and praxis, and establishes an inceptive model for transforming a playscript into a theatrical production involving deaf and hearing artists. The book stipulates that theatrical productions of this nature should strive to go beyond accessibility towards inclusivity by considering deaf perspectives at every stage of the process: W

Overview: Earthquakes come and go as they please, leaving behind them trails of destruc­ tion and casualties. Although their occurrence is little affected by what we do or think, it is the task of earth scientists to keep studying them from all possible angles until ways and means are found to divert, forecast, and eventually control them. In ancient times people were awestruck by singular geophysical events, which were attributed to supernatural powers. It was recognized only in 1760 that earthquakes originated within the earth. A hundred years later, first systematic attempts were made to ap

Overview: Provides an account of the treatment of theory and ethics in social work research and scholarship.Offers a unique approach by bringing together the complementary dimensions of theory with each other.EThis reference work addresses the ideas that shape social work. Much of the social work literature addresses questions of theory and ethics separately, so that the body of thought that is represented in social work scholarship and research creates a distinction between them. However, the differences between these categories of thought can be somewhat arbitrary. For example, feminist theo
