Numerical Simulation in Tunnelling
This text presents the results of the joint research initiative "Numercial Simulation in Tunneling". In doing so it provides a thorough guide to improving the safety and economy of tunnels by discussing the application of numerical simulation methods to assist tunnel engineers. Numerical simulation tools for the estimation of the required tunnel support and the required construction measures are described in this book. By using them, it is possible to study the impact on the construction and on the environment at the planning stadium and during construction. This will result in an improvement of the safety and economy of tunnels.

Handbook of World Exchange Rates, 1590–1914
As a world economy emerged from the 16th-17th centuries onwards, a global cashless payment system arose. This had its base in Europe, first in Italy, then in the rising regions of the north-west, with Amsterdam and then London as the central financial market. The mutual quotation of exchange rates, which provide the data tabulated and analysed here, mark the integration into a global network of all areas with significant economic potential. The primary aim of this book is to provide a compact account of the exchange rates in all these financial markets, from the late 16th century up to the First World War. This makes possible an instant conversion between the major world currencies at nearly any date within that period, while the important introduction provides the explanation and context of developments. The present handbook therefore serves as an invaluable resource for those concerned with all aspects of commercial and financial history.
The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration
The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a progressive, transdisciplinary paradigm-shifting core text for music and migration studies. Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide, it foregrounds the mobile potentials of music and presents key arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discussion of migration politics. 24 international specialists in music and migration set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies, discussing 41 keywords, such as mobility, community, research ethics, human rights, and critical whiteness in the context of music and mi...
Audience Transformations
The concept of the audience is changing. In the twenty-first century there are novel configurations of user practices and technological capabilities that are altering the way we understand and trust media organizations and representations, how we participate in society, and how we construct our social relations. This book embeds these transformations in a societal, cultural, technological, ideological, economic and historical context, avoiding a naive privileging of technology as the main societal driving force, but also avoiding the media-centric reduction of society to the audiences that are situated within. Audience Transformations provides a platform for a nuanced and careful analysis of the main changes in European communicational practices, and their social, cultural and technological affordances.
Internet und Migration
Die Information und Interaktion von Migranten findet inzwischen immer häufiger über das Internet statt. Dort tauschen sie sich mit Nutzern sowohl im Aufnahmeland als auch ihren Herkunftsländern aus. Auf Websites, in Foren und Chats informieren sie sich über soziale und politische Themen beider Länder, diskutieren und nehmen an Online-Petitionen, Abstimmungen oder virtuellen Veranstaltungen teil. Hierdurch bilden sich zum Teil neue ethnische, diasporische bzw. transnationale Online-Gemeinschaften. Insgesamt übernimmt das Internet und dessen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten so eine wichtige Funktion für die gesellschaftliche Partizipation von Migranten im Aufnahmeland und auch für die Entwicklung ihrer Herkunftsländer.
