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.
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.
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.

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.
