This book aims to enable parents in trilingual families to consider possible language strategies on the basis of analysing their individual circumstances. It includes a tool for diagnostic self-analysis that will help each reader to identify their situation and learn how parents in similar situations have approached the task of supporting their children’s use of languages. Based on a unique survey of parents in trilingual families in two European countries, the book highlights the challenges that trilingual families face when living in mainly monolingual societies. It takes into account the recent emergence of a 'New Trilingualism' among educated parents who find themselves in trilingual families because of global trends in migration and the recent expansion of the EU.

This book highlights the different theoretical and application-oriented aspects and potential solutions to the subject of automated remote sensing data analysis.Fully automated interpretation and understanding of remotely sensed data by a computer has been a challenge for decades, and many approaches have been developed over the years. The field is specialized and dynamic and also interdisciplinary and multilayered. Significant advances in knowledge-based image understanding, machine learning and artificial intelligence have led to it being the focus of much research in recent years.Written by an international team of experts, the book deals with both concepts and applications and focuses on elucidating the complementarity of different lines of research rather than providing the complete set of scientific approaches. Both classical knowledge-based as well as modern machine learning-oriented concepts are described.Part A provides insight into the basic theories and concepts of feature extraction, image understanding and the respective assessment strategies as well as into geometric, radiometric and sensor-related fundamentals of remote sensing technology. Part B focuses on various scientific and practical applications of remote sensing data analysis. These range from the automatic detailed reconstruction of complex 3D environments to visual tracking of objects in image sequences as well as monitoring natural and anthropogenic long-term processes on a regional scale. Part C covers recent trends in automatic analysis of remote sensing data.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th European Conference on Ambient Intelligence, AmI 2017, held in Malaga, Spain, in April 2017. The 16 revised full papers presented together with 4 short papers and 1 keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions.

Dieses Buch ermöglicht die systematische Vorbereitung auf die IHK-Prüfung im Fach "Wirtschaftsbezogene Qualifikationen" im Studium für Bankfachwirte, aber auch in verschiedenen anderen Fachwirtstudiengängen.

Das essential beschreibt aus einer managementorientierten Perspektive das Innovationsgeschehen in der Sternegastronomie und erklärt die zugrundeliegenden Prozesse, den organisationalen Aufbau sowie die übergeordneten Strategien. Auf Basis einer Studie und zahlreicher Interviews mit Sterneköchen geben die Autoren einen fundierten Einblick in die moderne Spitzengastronomie, die sich durch einen hohen Grad an Kreativität und Innovation auszeichnet und in dessen Zentrum der einzelne Sternekoch als Ideengeber und Prozesstreiber steht. Die Entwicklungs- und Umsetzungsprozesse in der Sterneküche können in einem Cross-Industry-Ansatz neue Ideen auch für das Innovationsmanagement anderer Branchen liefern.

Andreas Braun untersucht, wie effizient Elektroautos unter realen Fahrbedingungen sind, welche Faktoren den Streckenverbrauch bestimmen und welche Unterschiede hierin zu konventionellen Fahrzeugen bestehen.

Im Kontext aktuell geführter Debatten um die künftige Ausrichtung einer soziologischen Gewaltforschung und damit einhergehender Herausforderungen in theoretischer und methodischer Hinsicht, widmet sich dieser Band einer gegenwärtigen Bestandsaufnahme soziologischer Gewaltforschung, die sich sowohl auf den rein wissenschaftlichen Bereich als auch auf die praktische Verwertbarkeit soziologischer Gewaltanalysen bezieht.

Mit theoretischen, empirischen und methodischen Beiträgen von Gewalt- und Kunstsoziolog:Innen richtet sich das Buch nicht nur an ein soziologisches Fachpublikum, sondern zugleich auch an eine breite sowohl an Kunst als auch Gewalt interessierte Öffentlichkeit.

Es beleuchtet die signifikante Rolle dieser Organisationen im Hochschulökosystem und die Vorteile, die sie für Studierende und ihre Klient:innen bieten. Sie beschreiben die entscheidenden Phasen von der Initialisierung bis zum erfolgreichen Projektabschluss und liefern Werkzeuge und Checklisten zur praktischen Umsetzung.

On 26 August 1959 a revolutionary small car rolled off the assembly line, and almost overnight became a cult.
