Free Download Secondary Cities and Local Governance in Southern Africa by Abraham R. Matamanda, James Chakwizira, Kudzai Chatiza, Verna Nel
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 331 Pages | ISBN : 3031498569 | 39.8 MB
This book is the first to consider the roles, challenges and governance responses of secondary cities in southern Africa to changing circumstances. Among the challenges are governance under conditions of resource scarcity, managing informality, the effects and responses to climate change and the changing roles of the cities within the national space economy. It fills the gap in the literature on secondary cities with original case studies drawn from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The authors are all African scholars, working and living in the region with intimate knowledge of the settings they describe. The book is critical as it includes such regional case studies of different secondary cities in Southern Africa but also because of it’s multidisciplinarity: it contains substantive and pertinent issues such as climate change, disaster management, local economic development, and basic services delivery. It considers diverse environments, yet with similar challenges that could provide useful policy and governance proposals for other cities.

Free Download Secondary Electron Energy Spectroscopy in the Scanning Electron Microscope by Anjam Khursheed
English | November 13, 2020 | ISBN: 9811227020 | 327 pages | MOBI | 27 Mb
This book deals with the subject of secondary energy spectroscopy in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM is a widely used research instrument for scientific and engineering research and its low energy scattered electrons, known as secondary electrons, are used mainly for the purpose of nanoscale topographic imaging. This book demonstrates the advantages of carrying out precision electron energy spectroscopy of its secondary electrons, in addition to them being used for imaging. The book will demonstrate how secondary electron energy spectroscopy can transform the SEM into a powerful analytical tool that can map valuable material science information to the nanoscale, superimposing it onto the instrument’s normal topographic mode imaging. The book demonstrates how the SEM can then be used to quantify/identify materials, acquire bulk density of states information, capture dopant density distributions in semiconductor specimens, and map surface charge distributions.

Free Download Kenneth Ndifor Tangie, "Improving Learning in Secondary Schools: Conditions for Successful Provision and Uptake of Classroom Assessment Feedback"
English | ISBN: 1443876933 | 2015 | 330 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Improving Learning in Secondary Schools brings together, in a succinct, comprehensive and thought-provoking manner, several dimensions of classroom assessment feedback in one volume. It is based on the principle that students need feedback on their work and conduct at school in order to be able to correct misconceptions and omissions that can render them incapable of making progress and learning in a given subject. The book reports on a doctoral study that examined teachers’ feedback practice and its relation to student learning in secondary schools. It presents a critical, fine-grained classification and analysis of positive, neutral and negative feedback categories in teacher talk and writing, which could generate a globally-applicable typology and theory of classroom feedback. For some time now, formative assessment-generated feedback has been widely recommended for classrooms thanks mainly to compelling research-based evidence showing the relative merits of formative assessment types over more traditional summative assessment practices. In this book, it is suggested that the time has come to depart from such arguments because the mere presence of feedback in teacher talk and writing, be it formative or summative, is not enough to support learning. Feedback, like formal and informal instruction and assessment, is not mediated in vacuo; it is a social process taking place in a social setting, conducted by, on, and for social actors. One must also consider the context, especially the linguistic and socio-cultural environment, in which assessment, feedback and learning occur, but which also acts as a barrier and facilitator to successful feedback provision and uptake. This argument should constitute a starting point for reflection, debate and research into the effectiveness for learning of classroom assessment feedback. Therefore, whilst complementing previous work on this subject, this book makes significant additions to a very important aspect of school life. Primary and secondary school teachers, university students, academics and researchers as well as educationists and policy makers in the domain of educational assessment will find in it an inseparable companion and resource tool.

Free Download Therapeutic Use of Plant Secondary Metabolites by Saheed Sabiu
English | September 15, 2022 | ISBN: 981505063X | 445 pages | MOBI | 3.28 Mb
The book is an evidence-based reference about biochemical mechanisms of action of plant secondary metabolites. It conveys an understanding about how plant-based therapies work, and explains their role in the treatment of diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and microbial infections. The 15 chapters in the book are written by eminent scholars, lecturers, and experts in indigenous knowledge systems (IKS), industrial and medicinal plants, phytotherapeutics, and phytoinformatics. Reports on health benefits of specific phytochemicals are also highlighted. In addition to basic concepts in medicinal chemistry and ethnopharmacology, the book covers the role of modern computer techniques in developing new pharmaceuticals from plant sources. Therapeutic Uses of Plant Secondary Metabolites is a timely and valuable reference for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in medicinal chemistry, as well as researchers and professionals in IKS, phytomedicine, ethnopharmacology, phytopharmacology, plant biotechnology, drug discovery and development, and phytotherapeutics.

Free Download Secondary Stress in English Words By Nora Wenszky
2004 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 963058039X | PDF | 2 MB
This study examines what regulates secondary stress placement in English words. After discussing and criticising some influential stress theories, the framework presented in Burzio (1994) is modified. The modified framework is tested against a corpus of almost 1000 words with all their variants. The discussion is centered around the following problems: (i) factors influencing pre-tonic secondary stress placement, with special emphasis on prefixes and classical compound-initials (ii) the stressing of words ending in -ative (iii) the stressing of words ending in -atory. The analyses prove that Fudge (1984)’s classification of prefixes and compound-initials can successfully be incorporated into Burzio (1994)’s framework: these are assigned pre-determined structures. I find that stress preservation plays a major role in the placement of pre-tonic secondary stresses of affixed items. The hypothesis that initial heavy syllables attract stress is not confirmed. I propose that one heavy syllable may be left unparsed (and thus unstressed) at the beginning of words, though this is rarer than an initial unstressed light syllable. Based on the analysis of -atory words, I suggest that a new foot type, (HWW) should be included into the inventory of well-formed feet. This foot type is not discussed in Burzio (1994) and helps to analyse words that must be treated as exceptional in the lack of such a foot. At the end of the dissertation the list of all analysed items is provided
