Ziel von Manuel Eugen Faiß ist die Entwicklung von Thermomanagementkonzepten zur Reduzierung der Gemischanreicherung zum thermischen Bauteilschutz bei Ottomotoren mittels luftgekühlter Komponenten. An Heißgas- und Motorenprüfständen untersucht er die entwickelten Komponenten bestehend aus einem luftgekühlten Abgaskrümmer, Turbinengehäuse und Drei-Wege-Katalysator. Am Motorprüfstand weist der Autor schließlich das Potenzial eines luftgekühlten Abgaskrümmers zur Reduzierung der Gemischanreicherung für den thermischen Bauteilschutz aus.

In diesem Sammelband geht es darum, neue Algorithmen aus den Bereichen der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) und des Künstlichen Lebens (KL) und deren praktische Anwendung zu zeigen. Der wesentliche Aspekt des Bandes ist, dass in den Beiträgen exemplarisch gezeigt wird, dass und wie diese neuen Algorithmen auf praktische Probleme in sehr verschiedenen Bereichen erfolgreich eingesetzt werden können:

Das Buch bietet eine Einführung in die grundlegenden Begriffe und Strukturen der Mathematik, welche am Anfang eines Informatikstudiums relevant sind. Weiterhin demonstriert es Anwendungen von mathematischen Konzepten und Methoden in der Informatik. Diese betreffen insbesondere formale Methoden der Programmverifikation und -entwicklung und den Entwurf von generischen Programmen.

This volume, SGIoT 2020, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th EAI International Conference on Smart Grid and Internet of Things, SGIoT 2020, held in TaiChung, Taiwan, in December 2020.

This book explores the undeveloped potential of video-ethnography to study the material, embodied and sensory dimensions of workplace practices. With the growing interest in sociomateriality and the development of research on the embodied and sensory dimensions of organizational practices, some methodological challenges of this type of research need to be addressed.

This volume presents North American best practices and perspectives on developing, managing and monitoring indicators to track development progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in local communities and cities.

This book discusses issues related to ICT, intelligent systems, data science, AI, machine learning, sustainable development and overall their impacts on sustainability. It provides an overview of the technologies of future.

This book cuts through the strategy verbiage to get to the fundamentals of business strategy—its meaning, formulation, and implementation. Challenges to understanding strategy are examined, including institutions and national culture. Strategy theories are not just explained but assessed in terms of their validity, limitations, and applicability across countries, cultures, and organisations.

The landscape of international finance has drastically changed within the last decade. The institutions inherited from the Bretton-Woods conference—the IMF and the WBD— have become obsolete, in part, due to their lack of reforming.

The proliferation of pipelines to transport oil and natural gas represents a major area of contestation in the landscape of energy development. Battles over energy pipelines pit private landowners, local community representatives, and environmentalists against energy corporations and industry supporters, sometimes drawing opposition and attention from well beyond the impacted regions, as in the case of the Standing Rock/Dakota Access Pipeline.

This book examines the relation between the phenomenon of globalization, changes in the lifeworld of young people and the development of specific youth cultures. It explores the social, political, economic and cultural impact of globalization on young people.

This book presents recent methodological, technological, and experimental developments concerning human-friendly robots and their introduction into everyday life.

Knowledge representation is an important task in understanding how humans think and learn. Although many representation models or cognitive models have been proposed, such as expert systems or knowledge graphs, they cannot represent procedural knowledge, i.e., dynamic knowledge, in an efficient way.

Rhytidoplasty is a palliative procedure in which face wrinkles are surgically removed to promote a more youthful appearance. This book, written by leading specialists for Brazil and abroad, discusses a wide variety of topics related to facial rejuvenation. The first sections focus on the surgical planning, including psychological considerations, preparation of the patient and anatomical and biochemical changes caused by the aging process.
