Dieses Fachbuch – nicht nur für Praktiker – beschäftigt sich mit allen Facetten und Fragestellungen der Anwendung von Building Information Modeling (BIM) im Immobilienbetrieb und Facility Management (FM). Ausgehend von den Grundlagen und Vorzügen von BIM sowie dessen Entwicklung, werden alle Bereiche im Immobilienbetrieb beleuchtet, bei denen BIM sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann. Dabei werden BIM- und CAFM-Grundlagen, moderne Digitalisierungstechniken, Datenstandards und Datenaustausch sowie Interoperabilität und Aspekte der Wirtschaftlichkeit von BIM-Projekten ausführlich erläutert. Das Vorgehen bei der BIM-Einführung, Anwendungsszenarien und konkrete Praxisbeispiele runden das Werk ebenso ab wie ein Blick in aktuelle Forschungsthemen und künftige Entwicklungen.

Whether you are looking for an introduction to the field of tree balance, a reference work on the multitude of available balance indices or inspiration for your future research, this book offers all three. It delves into the significance of tree balance in phylogenetics and other research domains, where numerous indices have been introduced over the years. While the variations in definitions and underlying principles among these indices have long remained a challenge, this survey addresses the problem by presenting formal definitions of balance and imbalance indices and establishing desirable properties.  The book is comprehensive both in the inclusion of a variety of indices and in the information provided on them: the authors meticulously analyze and categorize established indices, shedding light on their general, statistical and combinatorial properties. They reveal that, while some known balance indices fail to meet the most basic criteria, certain tree shape statistics from other contexts prove to be effective balance measures. The collected properties are neatly presented, numerous new results are established, open research questions are highlighted, and possible applications are discussed. Reviewing over twenty (im)balance indices, a wealth of mathematical insights is provided, accompanied by real-world examples showcasing the importance of tree balance in diverse research areas. Catering to researchers, students, mathematicians, and biologists, the book can be used as a textbook for university seminars, a reference on tree balance, and as a source of inspiration for future research. It is accompanied by the free R package 'treebalance', a powerful tool to further explore and apply the discussed concepts, and a website allowing quick access to the main information and the latest developments in the field.

After more than four decades of real income stagnation, ever-increasing inequality and household financial distress, this book explores how the very fabric of our society is under threat. It argues that although capitalism is imperfect, it can be improved, and harnessing its forces of production to more suitable social relations of production is key to that improvement. Highlighting the concept of ‘social capitalism’ and ensuring that it is consistent with our underlying theoretical vision of how capitalism works, chapters address the need for an alternative theory of economic policy-making by combining elements of Marx, Keynes and Schumpeter (MKS). Applying their emphasis on distributive conflicts, effective demand and innovation, the MKS system provides an in-depth description of capitalist dynamics and how they reflect observed capitalist history. Based on this approach, Capitalism, Inclusive Growth, and Social Protection suggests that an unregulated capitalistic system is inherently unstable, generates social inequality and is ultimately unviable. This comprehensive book is an excellent resource for scholars concerned with alternatives to prevailing economics who wish to examine more intensively the current problems of capitalism. The analysis will also be of great value to policy makers and representatives of civil society.

This book offers timely insights into research on numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, mainly for (but not limited to) aerospace applications. It reports on findings by members of the Deutsche Strömungsmechanische Arbeitsgemeinschaft, STAB (German Aerodynamics/Fluid Mechanics Association) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt - Lilienthal Oberth e.V., DGLR (German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics) and covers both nationally and EC-funded projects. Continuing on the tradition of the previous volumes, the book highlights innovative solutions, promoting translation from fundamental research to industrial applications. It addresses academics and professionals in the field of aeronautics, astronautics, ground transportation, and energy alike.
