When spontaneous student protests erupted in Hong Kong on 28 September 2014 as a reaction to proposed changes in the electoral process, the global media was rife with images not only of the protesters themselves, but also the myriad informal structures and designs they had created. Barricades, shelter and sculptures were constructed from everyday objects, the umbrellas that coined the movement?s name were used for protection from police enforcement. The exhibition presents this act of civil disobedience through the objects that were spawned by the movement, illustrating that design not only shapes and defines products, but can function as an agent of change in politics, communication and social innovation. 00Exhibition: Vitra Design Museum, Weil, Germany (12.03.2016-29.01.2017)
This text presents criminal justice as a dynamic, ever-changing field, emphasizing how the concepts and processes of criminal justice are constantly evolving. It is ideal for those introductory criminal justice courses that emphasize a comprehensive and balanced approach to all three areas of criminal justice, as well as theory, research, and policy issues. This text is the ultimate tool for complete student preparation and provides all of the up-to-date coverage of structural and procedural changes in the criminal justice system that instructors require, ultimately helping students understand the critical issues in the field, and the impact they have on the system.
Bionics transfers knowledge about biological models into technical applications and can thus be used for the development of technical products and innovations. It is one of the most exciting approaches for future technical and social innovation, since most of the knowledge from biology has not yet been used. In this essential, Kristina Wanieck summarizes the most important basics of bionics for their application in practice. In addition, the author describes an approach that is open to topics and problems - i.e. independent of a specific question. These basics should make it possible to use bionics for a wide variety of questions and projects. This book is a translation of the original Germa...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, WADS 2015, held in Victoria, BC, Canada, August 2015. The 54 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 148 submissions. The Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium - WADS (formerly Workshop on Algorithms And Data Structures), which alternates with the Scandinavian Workshop on Algorithm Theory, is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. WADS includes papers presenting original research on algorithms and data structures in all areas, including bioinformatics, combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, graphics, and parallel and distributed computing.
Translational Autoimmunity: Advances in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases, Volume Six addresses autoimmune diseases classified under the category of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases are heterogeneous groups of disorders in which inflammation affects not only joints, but also tendons, ligaments and bones. This updated release focuses on immunopathogenesis and clinical and laboratory details of rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and Sjogren's syndrome, and will be of interest to researchers, students and clinicians interested in autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatic diseases. From an introduction to rheuma...
