This book investigates three main characteristics of future urban energy system for buildings, including flexibility, resilience and optimization. It explores the energy flexibility by considering renewable energy integration with buildings, sector coupling, and energy trading in the local energy market. Energy resilience is addressed from aspects of future climate change, pandemic crisis, and operational uncertainties. Approaches for system design, dynamic pricing and advanced control are discussed for the optimization of urban energy system. Knowledge from this book contributes to the effective means in future urban energy paradigm to closely integrate multiple energy systems (i.e., distribution, mobility, production and storage) with different energy carriers (i.e., heat, electricity) in an optimal manner for energy use. It would facilitate the envision of next-generation urban energy systems, towards sustainability, resilience and prosperity.
This book targets at a broad readership with specific experience and knowledge in energy system, transport, built environment and urban planning. As such, it will appeal to researchers, graduate students, engineers, consultants, urban scientists, investors and policymakers, with interests in energy flexibility, building/city resilience and climate neutrality.

Das Entwickeln von Fahrzeugen aller Art ist heute eine eigenständige Wissensdisziplin, die in ihrem gesamten Umfang mit digitalen Tools bearbeitet wird. Die diesbezüglichen Teilaufgaben, wie z.B. die Maßkonzeption von Fahrzeugen, entstanden aber alle in der vorausgehenden Phase in der handwerklichen Tradition sowie durch die Orientierung am sogenannten Funktionalismus und an den neuen Designwissenschaften, wie z.B. der Ergonomie.

„Öffentlicher Personennahverkehr“ ist eine Beschreibung der täglich mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln durchgeführten Ortsveränderungen. Das Werk stellt die unterschiedlichen Bereiche des Nahverkehrs vor und ermöglicht dem Leser, die Bedingungen nachzuvollziehen, nach denen in Deutschland Nahverkehr stattfindet.
Das Buch geht auf die Entstehung des Nahverkehrs in Deutschland ein und erklärt die Strukturen, welche den deutschen Nahverkehr prägen. Ein umfangreicher Teil ist den Rechtsverhältnissen des Nahverkehrs gewidmet und dem zunehmenden Einfluss der europäischen Einrichtungen auf das deutsche (Nahverkehrs-)Recht. Es ist beschrieben, welche Institutionen den Nahverkehr in Deutschland gestalten und der Umfang der täglichen Mobilität ist dargestellt.

This book showcases cutting-edge research papers from the 9th International Conference on Research into Design (ICoRD 2023) – the largest in India in this area – written by eminent researchers from across the world on design processes, technologies, methods and tools, and their impact on innovation, for supporting design for a connected world. The theme of ICoRD’23 has been ‘Design in the Era of Industry 4.0’. Industry 4.0 signifies the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was driven by the introduction of mechanical power such as steam and water engines to replace human and animal labour. The second industrial revolution involved introduction of electrical power and organised labour. The third industrial revolution was powered by introduction of industrial automation.

Die vorliegende Monographie befasst sich detailliert mit der Expression von Growth-Associated Protein (GAP-43), einer Determinante neuronaler Plastizität, im Rückenmark während der postnatalen Entwicklung sowie im adulten Zustand unter Normalbedingungen und nach verschiedenen Läsionen. Sie bietet damit einen umfassenden Einblick in die anatomische Verteilung plastisch aktiver neuronaler Strukturen in diesem Abschnitt des Zentralnervensystems und erweitert grundlegend die Kenntnisse über die Funktion des Rückenmarks aus neurobiologischer als auch klinischer, die Neuro-Medizin betreffender, Sicht.

The book presents the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA 2023), held at Cardiff School of Technologies, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff, Wales, UK, during April 11–12, 2023. Researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners exchange new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective applications in various engineering disciplines in the book. This book is divided into two volumes. It covers broad areas of information and decision sciences, with papers exploring both the theoretical and practical aspects of data-intensive computing, data mining, evolutionary computation, knowledge management and networks, sensor networks, signal processing, wireless networks, protocols, and architectures. This book is a valuable resource for postgraduate students in various engineering disciplines.

This book of CRIOCM 2021 (26th International Conference on Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate) presents the latest developments in real estate and construction management around the globe. The conference was organized by the Chinese Research Institute of Construction Management (CRIOCM) working in close collaboration with Tsinghua University.

This book explores the concept of fragile heritage as an architectural legacy and a territorial resource in rural China, emphasizing the significance in safeguarding its unique cultural trajectory, and laying the groundwork for future developments. Chinese rural buildings and settlements encapsulate priceless cultural values, but become increasingly vulnerable, under increasing pressures. Socioeconomic transitions, climate change, political agendas, land rent speculation, awakenings, and commodifications of cultural values, redefine the conceptual and operational framework of countryside transformation, and contribute to the debate on contemporary architectural and urban design. In this context, rural authenticity emerges as a crucial value in architectural morpho-typology, construction techniques, and expressive codes.

This book covers a variety of topics in the field of mechanical engineering, with a special focus on methods and technologies for modeling, simulation, and design of mechanical systems. Based on a set of papers presented at the 1st International Conference “Innovation in Engineering”, ICIE, held in Guimarães, Portugal, on June 28–30, 2021, it focuses on innovation in mechanical engineering, spanning from engineering design and testing of medical devices, evaluation of new materials and composites for different industrial applications, fatigue and stress analysis of mechanical structures, and application of new tools such as 3D printing, CAE 3D models, and decision support systems.

Intestinal neoplasia comprises a large part of a surgical pathologist’s workload. Pathologists play a key role not only in the classification of malignancies but also in assisting screening programs, identifying incidental neoplasms, and guiding treatment by providing essential prognostic features for individual entities.
A large variety of neoplasms affect the intestines, and there is ongoing discovery of new entities and prognostic features for known diseases. Pathologists and trainees should have a solid understanding of key morphologic features, pitfalls, and differential diagnoses. Importantly, pathologists should recognize and communicate features that help their clinical colleagues in making treatment decisions, with the ultimate goal of benefiting the patient first and foremost.
