Fester
"The COVID-19 disaster in California's prisons stands out as the worst medical prison catastrophe in the state's history. Three-quarters of the state's prison population was infected; 264 incarcerated people and 50 staff members died. In Fester, authors Hadar Aviram and Chad Goerzen expose the COVID-19 correctional experience through hundreds of first-person accounts, months of courtroom observations, years of carefully collected quantitative COVID-19 data, and a wealth of policy documents. Already vulnerable from decades of overcrowding and abysmal healthcare, California's prison population bore the brunt of the COVID-19 horror. Fester bears witness to the immense suffering we bring on ourselves and our fellow humans through dehumanization, fear, and ignorance, and stands as a monument for a brave coalition of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people, family members and loved ones, advocates and activists, doctors and journalists, who worked to shed light on one of the darkest times in the Golden State's correctional system"--
Yesterday's Monsters
In 1969, the world was shocked by a series of murders committed by Charles Manson and his “family” of followers. Although the defendants were sentenced to death in 1971, their sentences were commuted to life with parole in 1972; since 1978, they have been regularly attending parole hearings. Today all of the living defendants remain behind bars. Relying on nearly fifty years of parole hearing transcripts, as well as interviews and archival materials, Hadar Aviram invites readers into the opaque world of the California parole process—a realm of almost unfettered administrative discretion, prison programming inadequacies, high-pitched emotions, and political pressures. Yesterday’s Monsters offers a fresh longitudinal perspective on extreme punishment.
Selected papers from the 2nd International Symposium on UAVs, Reno, U.S.A. June 8-10, 2009
In the last decade, signi?cant changes have occurred in the ?eld of vehicle motion planning, and for UAVs in particular. UAV motion planning is especially dif?cult due to several complexities not considered by earlier planning strategies: the - creased importance of differential constraints, atmospheric turbulence which makes it impossible to follow a pre-computed plan precisely, uncertainty in the vehicle state, and limited knowledge about the environment due to limited sensor capabilities. These differences have motivated the increased use of feedback and other control engineering techniques for motion planning. The lack of exact algorithms for these problems and dif?culty inherent in char...
Intelligent Systems and Industrial Internet of Things for Sustainable Development
The book studies emerging and sustaining technologies for applications of Industry 5.0 to develop technological solutions to address numerous real-life challenges to solve sustainable development-related issues. It identifies limitations, pitfalls, and open research questions in industry 5.0, discusses real-time problems, and challenges with equivalent solutions with a focus on sustainable growth to develop, humanization and environmentally friendly intelligent system applications. It analyses applications enabled by Industry 5.0 such as healthcare, supply chain, smart framing, remote sensing, production in manufacturing, and cloud manufacturing. It also includes the difficulties and problem...

Online-Bahnplanung für mehrere Flugroboter in veränderlicher Umgebung mithilfe der Kurvenflussmethode
Aktuelle Trends in der Produktionstechnik sind stark von der Forderung nach einem hohen Individualisierungsgrad der Produkte geprägt. Zur Realisierung der damit einhergehenden Flexibilität bei der Abfolge einzelner Produktionsschritte bedarf es eines ebenso flexiblen Materialflusssystems. Derzeit wird in diesem Zusammenhang der Einsatz unbemannter Flugfahrzeuge (UAVs) für den Transport von Kleinteilen erforscht. Entgegen starren oder bodengebundenen Fördereinrichtungen (Fließband, Fördermatrix, FTS) sind UAVs in der Lage, den ungenutzen Luftraum innerhalb der Produktionsstätten auszunutzen. Parallele und voneinander unabhängige Beauftragungen der UAVs erzeugen dabei allerdings eine Umgebung mit hohem Kollisionspotenzial, in welcher die einzelnen Flugbewegungen nicht mehr im Voraus geplant werden können. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Problematk beschreibt das vorliegende Buch die Entwicklung und Implementierung einer neuen Online-Bahnplanungsmethode auf Basis ortsdiskreter Kurvenflüsse, welche in der Lage ist, kollisionsfreie Flugbahnen für mehrere UAVs durch Aufprägung virtueller Kräfte kontinuierlich an einen sich verändernden Umgebungszustand anzupassen.
Explore
When Mike Longridge gets himself in trouble yet again, he is given a choice: juvenile detention or an outdoor program called Explore. He opts for Explore, but soon finds himself wondering how he is going to survive ten months with the hippies and keeners in the program. He's never felt so out of place and is certain he will never get the hang of the outdoor activities. Will Mike go back to his old trouble-making ways or will he finally find a place to belong? This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
Post Memes
Art-form, send-up, farce, ironic disarticulation, pastiche, propaganda, trololololol, mode of critique, mode of production, means of politicisation, even of subjectivation - memes are the inner currency of the internet's circulatory system. Independent of any one set value, memes are famously the mode of conveyance for the alt-right, the irony left, and the apoliticos alike, and they are impervious to many economic valuations: the attempts made in co-opting their discourse in advertising and big business have made little headway, and have usually been derailed by retaliative meming. POST MEMES: SEIZING THE MEMES OF PRODUCTION takes advantage of the meme's subversive adaptability and ripeness...
