This book explores the phenomena of the urban everyday and new
urban tourism. It provides a systematic framework and draws on a
mix of theoretical and empirical work to look at the increasing
intermingling of 'tourists' and 'residents'. Tourism and urban
everyday life are deeply connected in a mutually constitutive way.
Tourism has become a key momentum of urban development and affects
cities beyond its economic dimension. Urban everyday life itself
can turn into a matter of tourist interest for people searching for
experiences off the beaten track. Even living in a city as a
resident involves moments, activities and practices which could be
labelled as 'touristic'. These observations demonstrate some of the
various layers in which urban tourism and everyday city life are
intertwined. This book gathers multiple interdisciplinary
approaches, a diversity of topics and methodological variety to
examine this complex relationship. It presents a systematic
framework for the dynamic research field of new urban tourism along
three dimensions: the extraordinary mundane, encounters and contact
zones, and urban co-production. This book will be of interest to
students and researchers across fields such as Tourism and Mobility
Studies, Urban Studies, Leisure Studies, Tourism Geography, and
Tourism Sociology.

One field where the implications of the omnipresent globalization
and hereby initiated new forms of cross-border business activity
are exceptionally profound is the income taxation of multinational
enterprises. The contemporary worldwide norm, which was adopted in
the 1930s, is the separate accounting method. Despite its longevity
as the preferred means for the taxation of multinational
enterprises, the erosion of tax revenues from alleged transfer
price manipulations by firms has goaded public discussion on
whether or not the separate accounting method is still a
satisfactory solution to the problem of international income
taxation. Particularly the European Commission's study "Company
Taxation in the Internal Market" and its suggestion to replace
separate accounting with unitary apportionment in the European
Union has strongly accelerated the debate about the future of group
taxation. In the present treatise, both abovementioned taxation
concepts are elucidated as well as qualitatively and quantitatively
reviewed against the background of the economic rationale for the
multinational enterprise, the way it generates income and the
management of its internal affairs. The highlight of this treatise
is the general equilibrium model of firm behavior under unitary
apportionment, which is, as will be seen, in several important
respects more powerful than the usual partial equilibrium treatment
of the formulary approach. The presented model, therefore, provides
considerable insights regarding the tax incidence and induced
real-economic distortions under unitary apportionment. Above all,
this model will allow policy-makers and tax authorities to make
reasonable estimates concerning potential alterations in tax
revenues collected if separate accounting was replaced by unitary
apportionment in the future.
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1995 im Fachbereich Werkstoffkunde, Note:

Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Titan ist ein Metall der neuen
Zeit. Die Entwicklung von Titanwerkstoffen wurde besonders in der
Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik vorangetrieben. Die besonderen
Eigenschaften von Titan und seinen Legierungen wie gute
Korrosionsbestandigkeit, hohe Festigkeit auch bei erhohten
Temperaturen und Kriechbestandigkeit sowie die geringe Dichte sind
Grunde fur eine vielfaltige Verwendung. Sie reicht vom Einsatz in
der Luft- und Raumfahrt, der chemischen Industrie, im Maschinenbau
bis hin zur feinmechanischen Industrie. Aufgrund ihres
biokompatiblen Verhaltens hielten Titanlegierungen sogar in der
Medizintechnik als Implantatwerkstoff im menschlichen Korper
Einzug. Ungunstige Eigenschaften zeigen Titanwerkstoffe allerdings
bei Reibungs- und Verschleissbeanspruchungen. Titan besitzt eine
hexagonale Gitterstruktur. Das Achsenverhaltnis c/a = 1,587 liegt
aber weit unterhalb vom idealen Achsenverhaltnis c/a = 1,633 der
dichtesten Kugelpackung, so dass prismatisches Gleiten zur
plastischen Verformung beitragt. Gleitpaarungen aus Titan neigen
zum adhasiven bedingten Fressen oder zum Materialubertrag auf
verschiedenen Gegenkorperwerkstoffen. Welche Auswirkungen solche
Verschleisserscheinungen vor allem auf die Funktionalitat eines
Bauteils mit sich bringen, soll anhand des Einsatzes von
Titanlegierungen als Implantatwerkstoff stark tribologisch
beanspruchter Gelenkendoprothesen diskutiert werden. Anstrengungen,
die zur Vermeidung von Verschleisserscheinungen unternommen werden,
fuhren meist zu Konzepten, die das Harten der Bauteiloberflache
durch das Aufbringen von Verschleissschutzschichten zum Inhalt
haben. Auf dieser Grundlage wird die Herstellung und Untersuchung
von Legierungen aus Titan, Eisen und Bor fur den Verschleissschutz
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit. Inhaltsverzeichnis: Inhaltsverzeichnis:

With this essential guide to vehicular networking, you will learn
about everything from conceptual approaches and state-of-the-art
protocols, to system designs and their evaluation. Covering both
in- and inter-vehicle communication, this comprehensive work
outlines the foundations of vehicular networking as well as
demonstrating its commercial applications, from improved vehicle
performance, to entertainment, and traffic information systems. All
of this is supported by in-depth case studies and detailed
information on proposed protocols and solutions for access
technologies and information dissemination, as well as topics on
rulemaking, regulations, and standardization. Importantly, for a
field which is attracting increasing commercial interest, you will
learn about the future trends of this technology, its problems, and
solutions to overcome them. Whether you are a student, a
communications professional or a researcher, this is an invaluable
resource.
