U8 Untergrundminiaturen
14 Autor:innen begeben sich auf eine Reise entlang der Berliner Aorta. Die U-Bahnlinie 8 durchquert die Stadt von Norden nach Süden, sie ist ein Abbild unserer Welt: laut, rigoros, absurd und schön. 24 Stationen. 24 Welten. 24 Vorurteile. Es gibt hierzulande wohl kaum eine U-Bahnlinie, die einen dubioseren Ruf hat als die U8: überfüllt, laut, dreckig, abgründig, gefährlich, verdrogt, unberechenbar. Tatsache ist: Die U8 ist eine spezielle U-Bahnlinie, ein Schmelztiegel und Hexenkessel, ein Hieronymus-Bosch-Gemälde in Bewegung. Wer sich auf sie einlässt, ihr und ihren Passagier:innen vorbehaltlos begegnet und mit ihnen durch die pulsierende Hauptschlagader treibt, wird diese Stadt, die...
FLEXEN
Flex|en, das, – kein Pl.: 1. trennschleifen 2. biegen 3. Sex haben 4. das Variieren der Geschwindigkeit beim Rap 5. die Muskeln anspannen 6. seine Muskeln zur Schau stellen 7. Flâneuserie In 30 verschiedenen Texten mit 30 verschiedenen Perspektiven auf Städte, alle geschrieben und erlebt von Frauen*, PoC oder queeren Menschen. Texte, die beweisen, dass das Flexen, die Flâneuserie endlich ernst genommen werden muss. Die Figuren in der Anthologie streifen durch Berlin, Paris, Jakarta, Istanbul und Mumbai. Sie erzählen uns u.a. davon, wie eine Frau mit Kinderwagen die Großstadt erlebt, eine Frau eine Großdemonstration in Dresden miterlebt, wie Flanieren in Indien schon Aktivismus bedeutet, wie sich die Geschichte in den Ort einschreibt und manchmal wird die Stadt sogar selbst zur Figur.
Handbook of AI-based Metaheuristics
At the heart of the optimization domain are mathematical modeling of the problem and the solution methodologies. The problems are becoming larger and with growing complexity. Such problems are becoming cumbersome when handled by traditional optimization methods. This has motivated researchers to resort to artificial intelligence (AI)-based, nature-inspired solution methodologies or algorithms. The Handbook of AI-based Metaheuristics provides a wide-ranging reference to the theoretical and mathematical formulations of metaheuristics, including bio-inspired, swarm-based, socio-cultural, and physics-based methods or algorithms; their testing and validation, along with detailed illustrative solutions and applications; and newly devised metaheuristic algorithms. This will be a valuable reference for researchers in industry and academia, as well as for all Master’s and PhD students working in the metaheuristics and applications domains.
Teaching Oral Communication
The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of teaching language for communication. It is written principally for teachers who wish to adopt a communicative approach and would like to reflect on the principles that underlie it.
Car Safety Wars
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...

The Sharing Economy in Europe
This open access book considers the development of the sharing and collaborative economy with a European focus, mapping across economic sectors, and country-specific case studies. It looks at the roles the sharing economy plays in sharing and redistribution of goods and services across the population in order to maximise their functionality, monetary exchange, and other aspects important to societies. It also looks at the place of the sharing economy among various policies and how the contexts of public policies, legislation, digital platforms, and other infrastructure interrelate with the development and function of the sharing economy. The book will help in understanding the future (sharin...
No Accident
It is possible to eliminate death and serious injury from Canada’s roads. In other jurisdictions, the European Union, centres in the United States, and at least one automotive company aim to achieve comparable results as early as 2020. In Canada, though, citizens must turn their thinking on its head and make road safety a national priority. Since the motor vehicle first went into mass production, the driver has taken most of the blame for its failures. In a world where each person’s safety is dependent on a system in which millions of drivers must drive perfectly over billions of hours behind the wheel, failure on a massive scale has been the result. When we neglect the central role of t...
