Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Gender Equity: Global Policies and Perspectives on Advancing Social Justice provides an in-depth analysis of global perspectives on advancing public and social gender policy. Shedding new light on inequalities faced by women and girls around the world,, the essays in this collection emphasize cultural biases and societal prejudices women face in STEM and in creative economies as well as in political decision making processes. In doing so, the volume highlights the interlinked relationship between the advancement of global policy and the very interpretation of gender equality.

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Physics - Quantum Physics, grade: -, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (Department of Physics), course: Nanostructure Physics, language: English, abstract: This book contains a comprehensive account of application of WKB method to pure Physics of nanostructures containing single or symmetric double barrier V(x) in their band model in presence of longitudinal magnetic field applied along x direction. It concentrates on effects on transmission coefficient of single and symmetric double barriers by three dimensional electron gas (3DEG). Analytical expressions for longitudinal magnetic field dependent transmission coefficient of single and symmetric double barrier of general shape are obtained first. These general expressions are then used to obtain analytical expressions of longitudinal magnetic field dependent transmission coefficient of single and symmetric double barriers of many different shapes we encounter in studying nanostructure Physics. This is followed by thorough numerical investigation to bring out effects of longitudinal magnetic field on transmission coefficient of all these barriers. Comparisons with standard results where available showed excellent agreements. Results of numerical investigation have been explained completely. The book makes well documented, with thorough calculation and discussion, pure Physics of semiconductor nanostructures.

The book presents a methodology, which will be a useful tool to analyze the feasibility of any farm or company. It might be a unique guide for students and teachers of Business Management & Marketing. The technique used in the book will be an important pathway for profitability assessment of initial investment, which will provide information about profit and risk of the investment. This profitability model will be a valuable management tool to farm owners, investors, financial institutions and banks. The model can be used in planning as well as during the operations of the farm. The tool developed here can also be applied in evaluation of any other investment and operations. The relevant agencies can use the information to formulate policies and programmes. Thus, a company would advance in a sustainable way.

This edited volume aims to understand the policies, practices and limitations of refugee education in four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Evidence suggests that refugee education in three countries including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan is being viewed as a relief activity, whereas education for Bhutanese refugees in Nepal is being observed as a development activity. This book suggests that refugee education in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan should be provided from a development point of view whereby refugee children can live with honor and dignity if they have an opportunity to be integrated in host countries, resettled in third countries or repatriated in their home countries.
