Modelling Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport for Developing Groundwater Protection Zone as Panacea to Groundwater Contamination and Water Related Diseases

GEOGRAPHICA – Schriftenreihe Geowissenschaften und Geographie

This scientific research involved collection of 48 groundwater samples from 24 wells during rainy season and dry season, from 12 Local Government Area while monthly rainfall frequency data was collected and presented to validate possibility of seasonal variations in groundwater quality. These samples were collected from wells that are close to pollution sources ranging between 5-7 meters and 9 other water samples were collected as control within distance of 18-20 meters…

Modelling of Spray Deposit on Diverse Targets in Agribusiness

AGRARIA – Studien zur Agrarökologie

The main objective of any plant protection product application is to ensure optimal status of cultural plants and crop, while causing minimal environmental damage. For spraying against diseases, preventive fungicides have to be used. The aim of preventive fungicide spraying is to keep infections at levels that do not cause damage to plants. Consequently, the likelihood of infection on non-treated plants grown in treated areas is much lower than in areas that have not been…

Surface Drip Irrigation in Agriculture

Schriftenreihe agrarwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

Improvements in irrigation can increase the productivity of water and may provide significant adaptation potential under a changing climate. The great potential of drip irrigation lies in improving water management, thus enlarging crop yield and quality. However, to design drip irrigation systems effectively, the soil water dynamics needs to be predicted using all necessary soil, plant and climate variables.

In engineering terms, systems are often designed to…

Agricultural Policy – Some Theoretical Considerations

Schriftenreihe agrarwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

This book considers a theory of agricultural policy and its implications for decision making.

There exists a strong and instrumental bond between agricultural economics and agricultural policy. Policy decision making can be as effective as long agricultural economics theory and the empirical modelling results derived support it. A bulk of various information sources related to farm policies can be traced in modern literature where discussions, however, rarely…

Chinese University Students’ Test-taking Motivation, Metacognitive Awareness, and Test Performance in EFL Listening

LINGUA – Fremdsprachenunterricht in Forschung und Praxis

This book builds on the expectancy-value of test taking motivation framework, going beyond merely ascertaining whether test taking motivation-related variables have direct effects on listening test performance as measured by listening test score in College English Band 4 (CET-4) listening testing context in China. Rather, what is of great interest is to determine how such effects, both directly and indirectly, come to be, and to describe the mechanism through which test…

Kostenrechnung und Managemententscheidungen

Einfluss der Ausgestaltung der Kostenrechnung auf Informationsqualität

Schriften zum Betrieblichen Rechnungswesen und Controlling

Das Management von Unternehmen trifft im Rahmen der betrieblichen Steuerung eine Vielzahl von Entscheidungen auf Basis von Informationen, Erfahrung und Intuition.

Die Qualität der verwendeten Informationen ist somit von essentieller Bedeutung. Informationen sollen dabei an die Situation und die Anforderungen der Manager angepasst sein. Denn nicht nachvollziehbare oder missverständliche Informationen führen zu einem Defizit in der Informationsversorgung und somit…

The Epistemological Value of Consumption Based Asset Pricing Models

BOETHIANA – Forschungsergebnisse zur Philosophie

The book is a philosophical analysis of the consumption based capital asset pricing model (CCAPM), investigating in particular its epistemological and methodological foundations.

Financial markets are integral parts of advanced and developing economies. They matter because they channel unspent household income into banks’ savings accounts and assets such as bonds and stocks. Financial economists have traditionally taken interest in the pricing mechanism that…

Evaluating Research Performance in Tourism

The Quality of Tourism Journals

Qualitätsmanagement

In the last few years considerable attention has been paid to research output within the scientific culture, which is disseminated in many different ways. It is commonly believed that scientific output is communicated and largely measured by means of publications, particularly quality is derived from the journal where an article has been published. Plenty of studies have been undertaken to determine the quality of this scientific communication medium. Surveys mainly…
