Findings and action strategies are summarised.
Bauphysik-Kalender 2024
Der Bauphysik-Kalender 2024 gibt Praxishinweise für die klimagerechte Planung von Gebäuden, aber auch von urbanen Räumen. Diese sind durch die hohen Verdichtungen und Versiegelungen besonders anfällig gegenüber der Klimaveränderung mit häufigeren Extremwetterereignissen. Aber sie sind gestaltbare Orte, an denen durch eine interdisziplinäre und zukunftsorientierte Planung eine weitere Verschärfung des Klimawandels gebremst und die Resilienz von Mensch, Flora und Fauna gegenüber seinen Folgen gestärkt werden kann. Das Buch bietet aktuelles Wissen um bauphysikalische Prozesse zu verstehen, Potenziale von Konstruktionen gezielt auszuschöpfen und die Gebäudetechnik und Automatisierun...

Security in Autonomous Driving
Autonomous driving is an emerging field. Vehicles are equipped with different systems such as radar, lidar, GPS etc. that enable the vehicle to make decisions and navigate without user's input, but there are still concerns regarding safety and security. This book analyses the security needs and solutions which are beneficial to autonomous driving.
Thermal Control Thin Films
The book presents up-to-date thermal control film materials, technologies and applications in spacecraft. Commonly used thermal control film materials and devices for spacecraft are discussed in detail, including single-structure passive thermal control film materials, composite structure passive thermal control film materials, intelligent thermal control film materials, and microstructure thermal control thin film devices.
O'Keeffe and Stieglitz

Problem Solving Courts
Problem Solving Courts explores a relatively new approach to criminal justice--one that can have a powerful impact on how convicts connect with their communities. Problem solving courts, born out of the drug court movement in the 1980s, are run by judges who, with the assistance of law enforcement agents and mental health workers, meet with convicts on a weekly basis to talk about their treatment. Treatment programs often include therapy, in addition to the possibility of incarceration or early "parole" in which an offender can complete his or her sentence under the jurisdiction of the court. In this unique collaboration, scholar JoAnn Miller and judge Donald C. Johnson, creators of three su...

Humanity in Medicine
In 1940, soon after graduating, Dr Stanley Goulston joined the Australian Army. As the sole doctor to 1500 soldiers, he was sent to the Middle East where the Allied forces were fighting the Germans and Italians. His battalion was part of the iconic Rats of Tobruk during the famous siege. At Tobruk he was awarded a Military Cross. In 1947 he was appointed honorary physician to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. He became one of Australia’s first gastroenterologists and advanced this speciality at his hospital and beyond. In senior roles with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians he headed a long-lasting redesign of physician training. Stanley Goulston was universally admired for his humility, empathy and commitment to teaching and research. For most of his life, he wrote poetry. At 79 he completed a Master of Philosophy degree at Sydney University and then taught narrative and poetry to doctors and medical students with the aim of fostering a more humane and compassionate version of modern scientific medicine.
