Acceptance and Diffusion of Connected and Automated Driving in Japan and Germany
No full textThis open access book gives comprehensive empirical insights on connected and automated driving (CAD) of road transport vehicles which leads to the driver being partially or completely replaced by automation. The current trend towards widespread research and development of automation of motorised individual transport is driven by the expected benefits, such as increased road safety, smoother traffic flow, reduction of congestion, or use of driving time for other activities. CAD has the potential to change several dimensions of the transport system, ranging from changes in car ownership to the availability of entirely new mobility services. Some proponents even expect CAD to revolutionise the current transport system as a whole. In order to make informed statements about the possible impact of CAD on transport systems, research must consider a wide range of open questions: In what way do the existing framework conditions of the prevailing mobility systems affect the impact of CAD? How does the governance style relate to regulatory changes and resource allocation in the development of CAD? Is an autonomous ride-hailing service really a profitable business case? What are the attitudes and expectations towards CAD in the general public? What are the effects of CAD on transport systems? What are other impacts of CAD that should be assessed? All of these questions were addressed within different projects as part of the Japanese-German Research Cooperation on CAD and can be discovered by the reader of this book
Le mariage dans la société française contemporaine
No full textParu il y a cinquante ans, cet ouvrage majeur scrute les grandes évolutions du mariage durant les Trente Glorieuses. Dans un contexte de remise en cause de l’institution maritale et de révolution sexuelle, encore marginale dans la population de l’après Mai 68, Louis Roussel perçoit à la fois la continuité des comportements et les nouvelles aspirations des Français. Ce digne héritier d’Émile Durkheim, de Maurice Halbwachs et des études pionnières de Philippe Ariès ou de Margaret Mead sur la famille, conjugue de manière innovante la rigueur des enquêtes statistiques et le regard sociologique. Ainsi, sur le mariage, le choix du conjoint, le célibat, la sexualité, le divorce, son ouvrage embrasse avec ambition l’analyse comparative de plusieurs enquêtes statistiques et études d’opinion, offrant au lecteur un portrait de la France des années 1970 et des générations d’après-guerre entrant de plain-pied dans la modernité qui s’annonce. Celle des mœurs, de la place et des nouveaux droits des femmes, de la remise en question des schémas traditionnels de la famille et d’une jeunesse qui s’est imposée avec force. Préfacé par Florence Maillochon qui apporte le recul nécessaire et fait le bilan des grands changements annoncés, cet ouvrage fait le lien entre les travaux pionniers de Louis Roussel et l’évolution d’un champ disciplinaire essentiel pour la compréhension des comportements sociaux. Nouvelle édition augmentée et complété
Gertrud Bing im Warburg-Cassirer-Kreis
No full textGertrud Bing – Bedeutende Wissenschaftlerin im Warburg-Cassirer-Kreis.Nachdem Gertrud Bing 1921 ihre Dissertation mit »sehr lobenswert« bei Ernst Cassirer und dem Germanisten Robert Petsch verteidigt hatte, war eine Publikation in den Zeiten der Inflation jedoch nicht möglich. Zudem schloss sich zeitlich für Bing die Tätigkeit als Mitarbeiterin in der Bibliothek Warburg an, für die Cassirer sie empfohlen hatte. So ist ihre Dissertation bis heute unpubliziert geblieben. Dies ist angesichts der Bedeutung, die Bing auch auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene für den Warburg-Cassirer-Kreis spielte, eine Forschungslücke, die nun – mit der Herausgabe der Dissertation – geschlossen wird.Bings Studie zeigt die philosophische Nähe zu Cassirer und die thematische Verbundenheit mit Warburg, sodass ihre Karriere in der Bibliothek folgerichtig scheint: Sie wurde Warburgs vertraute Assistentin und Teil des Direktoriums. 1933 war sie maßgeblich an der Rettung der Bibliothek beteiligt und trug aktiv dazu bei, sie als international ausgerichtetes Forschungsinstitut zu etablieren. Bing arbeitete weiterhin wissenschaftlich und trug mit zahlreichen Vorträgen im In- und Ausland dazu bei, die Forschungsmethode des Warburg-Cassirer-Kreises bekannt zu machen
RF Energy Harvesting and Wireless Power Transfer for IoT
No full textInternet of Things (IoT) technologies are fast becoming the main connectivity backbone of the data-driven, sustainable society of the future. However, major concerns related to the lack of efficient solutions for powering and maintaining the uninterrupted operation of the growing number of IoT devices is have begun to emerge. In this regard, energy harvesting techniques are an attractive solution, as they allow for the use of externally recharging batteries, and thus may constitute key components of future sustainable IoT networks. This Special Issue focuses specifically on radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and wireless power transfer technologies, addressing their challenges through diverse perspectives and exploring innovations and practical applications. It comprises 12 research papers from authors across the globe aiming to advance our understanding and unlock the transformative potential of RF-based energy solutions within the evolving IoT landscape
The Politics of Urban Land in South Asia
No full textCities in South Asia are homes to one of the highest concentrations of people anywhere in the world and the allocation of land and urban resources and the benefits that can be derived from them in this region have become increasingly contested. This book explores the politics of urban land in South Asia and the challenges related to their respective urban futures.
For most people, land comes at a premium, and as a result conflicts and contestations over land and urban resources are rife in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal, as witnessed in the many struggles of low-income groups and vulnerable or marginalised communities to fight off dispossession or displacement. This book maps current challenges shared across national borders and charts out new directions for future research and land policy. With contributions from emerging and established authors, the book offers a critical accounting of the situation that exists in urban South Asia, while also critically engaging with the current challenges and future directions for land use and land politics.
The book will be useful to students and researchers of public policy, development studies, economics, urban and regional development studies, and sociology as well as to policy makers, real estate professionals, and commercial firms engaged in property market/real estate study in Asia.
Chapter 10 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license
Princes, conseils et réformations à la Renaissance

This book places these political and administrative experiments in the context of the religious reforms of Renaissance Europe. Based on the practices of the Navarrese monarchy, the study is extended to other European and American territories

Medulloblastoma
No full textMedulloblastoma is an important disease model for modern oncology. Treatment paradigms have significantly improved since the identification of the disease, and modern imaging and biomarker analysis have promoted the re-categorization of the disease to carefully place patients into clinical trials that reflect the anticipated outcome for each subset of the disease. Investigators will continue to strive to optimize therapy for this vulnerable patient population and constantly revisit outcomes to balance process improvements for disease control while limiting the sequelae of management. In this book, we present modern management aspects and strategies for therapy's future direction. It is our privilege to present this work to you
