Feminism goes beyond advocating for women's rights and examines all aspects of life to identify oppressive elements. It recognizes women as a social category and aims for liberation, making it a political concept. Feminist literature reflects these values and includes any written piece that centers on the fight for women's equality. Throughout history, feminists have used diverse methods to express their perspectives. It is worth noting that men have also contributed to understanding women's wants and needs by exploring their thoughts and emotions. Upon close examination, it is clear that the slight variations present in feminist literature do not necessarily suggest that only women authored them. This suggests that being a feminist writer is not solely tied to gender. This book explores how male and female writers can be considered feminist authors.

This book is one of the endeavors for the beginners in Wind Energy. It covers almost all the basic technical terms and topics related to wind energy. The implemented wind farm is simulated in MATLAB/ Simulink. Different behaviours and famous protection schemes are included to get know how of the topic. The sections are adjusted in such a way that the reader will be satisfied enough till he reaches the end of the book. Every section has been illustrated in simple way keeping in view the reader''s interest. It covers some of the information of wind potential of Pakistan which is entering in the phase of exploiting its wind energy resources. Every topic has been discussed with moderate but sufficient details keeping in view the reader''s interest. If you are seeking the book which can help you to start your study related wind energy, then this book is the right choice for you.

For a very long time gender issues have concentrated attention on women. Consequently, interventions have not been that successful in protecting women from diseases. Considering the given role of men in sexual intercourse, particularly in a patriarchal society as Ghana''s, and given heterosexual contact as the primary route of HIV transmission to women, prevention efforts that undermineD the role of men is unlikely to achieve enduring success, if any. This book discusses the influence of condom use on men''s sexual behavior. The book joins the debate on the gendered nature of HIV and AIDS prevention in Africa.

The goal of prosthodontics is to restore the patient to normal contour, function, comfort, esthetics, speech, and health, regardless of the atrophy, disease, or injury of the stomatognathic system.1 However, the more teeth a patient is missing, the more arduous this goal becomes with traditional dentistry. As a result of continued research in treatment planning, implant designs, materials and techniques, predictable success is now a reality for the rehabilitation of many challenging clinical situations. The placement of implants plays a substantial role in the maintenance of osseointegration and for controlling the biomechanical load over implants. Dental implant therapy has dramatically expanded the treatment options available for both the partially and completely edentulous patient. The long-term prognosis of an implant restoration depends on meticulous care taken in the diagnosis and the treatment planning for the patient.

Saudi Arabia is very special country of what it has. Saudi Arabia is the largest market in the Arabian Gulf region and, despite current political and economic uncertainties, offers investors and exporters many opportunities in a wide variety of business sectors. Key factors driving economic policy include the desire to reduce the dependence on oil, and the need to provide jobs, housing and services to citizens in a time of rapid population growth. The foreign investment law of 2000 significantly changed the rules for foreign investors, permitting 100% ownership of projects. There is a streamlined foreign investment application process with various investment incentives(Sagia, 2006). The cost of entering the Saudi market is high because of the large cultural distance between most Westernized foreign investors and the Saudis. The market presents many opportunities and is extremely competitive. Saudi Arabia''s attractiveness is related to its position at the heart of a regional market that includes the GCC countries and the Arab world in general.

An utmost try has been made to full fill the modern requirements of the Procedures in Veterinary Entomology but still there is paucity of knowledge and literature regarding the understanding of insects anatomy, staining behavior, prevalence, feeding behaviors, location of suitable host, seasonal variations, vector role for various diseases of public health and zoonotic importance and periodicity. This manual will be helpful to the field Veterinarians, to the Graduates and Under Graduates, Veterinary Entomologists, Forensic Entomologists, to the Researchers and to the students of Veterinary Sciences. By any means, author does not claim perfectness and completeness of the manuscript. Any suggestion or recommendations for the improvement of the work will be highly obliged. Author, however, recommends the manual to be used as ready reference at teaching institutions, research institutions or at Diagnostic laboratories of Veterinary and Medical imporatnce public sector or in government sector.

Microbubbles have been used for several decades as ultrasound contrast agents in diagnostic ultrasound imaging. However, their application in gene therapy as delivery vehicles has only recently been realised. The presence of microbubbles in close proximity to cells during ultrasound insonation can increase the efficacy of drug or gene delivery by inducing sonoporation. In this research project, experimental in-house microbubbles were used in order to establish the exact parameters that lead to sonoporation. Confocal imaging and 3-D reconstruction indicated the structure, morphology and size-distribution of these membrane-bound microbodies. Subsequently, cells were grown in an acoustically-transparent parallel membrane environment, where delivery of molecules of various sizes, in the presence of both in-house and Definity® microbubbles was investigated. The acoustic parameters were established for achieving sonoporation with the aid of a clinically relevant scanner in the presence of commercially available Definity® microbubbles.

Mythology entertains, relates history, and conveys man''s relationship to god and the universe. Mythology provides individuals with life models and establishes a connection to the people from whom an individual is descended. Works of modern literature that incorporate mythology and universal themes and archetypes provide a guide, a contemporary guide, to dealing with the problems faced by all people. Homer first established the hero and journey archetypes in 800 B.C. and authors continue to utilize them today. In literature, heroes are important and interesting characters who are role models and who teach the reader important lessons about the human condition. The mythological connection and the archetypes of the hero and journey are presented here in the context of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", two incredibly popular cultural icons of literature, through which the timeless lessons of mythology are transmitted to a modern audience.

In recent years, the field of parallel manipulators has expanded significantly in applications requiring high precision, loading capacity, accuracy, rigidity and high velocity. Stewart platform is the most common type of parallel manipulators. Limited workspace, complex kinematic/kinetic solutions, singularities inside the workspace are the main problems encountered with regard to this type of robots. In this book, using some design/engineering software and programming language, Stewart platform is investigated in details by modeling and simulation, dynamic analysis and singularity detection. The effects of geometric and kinematic parameters on the workspace are determined for different orientations of the moving platform. The actuator forces computed on the workspace boundaries are compared for different joint positions. Singularity analysis of Stewart platform is also performed considering many aspects based on trajectory planning. In this manner, a complete package of analysis focused on Stewart platform is presented in this book. The reader can benefit from the obtained results and conclusions which may be utilized for design, analysis, simulation and manufacturing purposes.
