This book contains a collection of cutting-edge papers on methodological aspects of prosody research. Current approaches to the gathering, treatment, and interpretation of prosodic data are discussed by experts in the field, illustrated by their own empirical research. Contributions focus on the choice and measurement of prosodic parameters, the establishment of prosodic categories, annotation structures for spoken-language data, and experimental methods for production and perception studies (including the construction of materials, modes of presentation, online vs. offline tasks, judgement scales, data processing, and statistical evaluation). The volume will serve as a handbook linking data collection and interpretation, allowing researchers in linguistics and related fields to make more informed decisions concerning their empirical work in prosody.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 9th International Conference on Networked Systems, NETYS 2021, held virtually in May 2021.The 15 revised full papers and 2 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers are organized in the following thematic blocks: distributed systems, blockchain, and verification.

This book is dedicated to Professor Ernst--Rudiger Olderog on the occasion of his 60th birthday. This volume is a reflection on Professor Olderog's contributions to the scientific community. It provides a sample of research ideas that have been influenced directly by Ernst- Rudiger Olderog's work. After a laudatio section that provides a brief overview of Ernst- Rudiger Olderog's research, the book is comprised of five parts with scientific papers written by colleagues and collaborators of Professor Olderog. The papers address semantics, process algebras, logics for verification, program analysis, and synthesis approaches.

Nicht erst seit den Diskussionen um „Deepfakes" und generative KI stehen digitale Bilder unter Manipulationsverdacht. Während in den 1990er Jahren allerdings jeder digitale Bildbeweis fragwürdig erschien, haben sich mittlerweile pragmatische Antworten durchgesetzt. Ob und wie digitale Bilder tatsächlich manipuliert wurden, lässt sich in vielen Fällen mittels Verfahren der Bildanalyse und der vergleichenden Datenauswertung nachweisen. Solche Praktiken der Bildforensik stehen im Mittelpunkt des Bandes. Der Blick auf wissenschaftliche ebenso wie ästhetische Verfahren, auf kriminalistische Methoden, populäre Fernsehserien und künstlerische Praktiken zeigt dabei, wie der Verdacht gegenüber Bildern selbst produktiv wird: Er bringt nicht nur neue Bilder hervor, sondern auch ein neues prozessuales Verständnis digitaler Bildlichkeit. Interdisziplinärer Überblick über die aktuelle Debatte um den Wahrheitsgehalt digitaler Bilder Mit Beiträgen zu professionellen, populären und künstlerischen Formen der Bildforensik

For courses in machine shop, machine tool technology, machining processes/manufacturing processes technology, industrial technology, industrial mechanics, and industrial engineering at the undergraduate level. The all-in-one solution for teaching machining, BPR, GD&T, and CNC courses Machine Tool Practices provides clear, practical, and richly illustrated treatment of machine tool technology and prepares students for NIMS certification. Vast in breadth and depth, this is the definitive text for training computer numerical controllers, conventional machine operators, general machinists, and tool and tie makers. The 11th edition includes dramatically expanded content and supplements on blueprint reading, GD&T, and CNC, giving it the potential to be the sole source of material for courses on these topics, while saving students the expense of two extra texts.
