To tackle the challenges of the road estimation task, many works
employ a fusion of multiple sources. By that, a commonly made
assumption is that the sources always are equally reliable.
However, this assumption is inappropriate since each source has
certain advantages and drawbacks depending on the operational
scenarios. Therefore, Tuan Tran Nguyen proposes a novel concept by
incorporating reliabilities into the multi-source fusion so that
the road estimation task can alternately select only the most
reliable sources. Thereby, the author estimates the reliability for
each source online using classifiers trained with the sensor
measurements, the past performance and the context. Using real data
recordings, he shows via experimental results that the presented
reliability-aware fusion increases the availability of automated
driving up to 7 percentage points compared to the average
fusion.About the Author: Tuan Tran Nguyen received the Master's
degree in computer science and the Ph.D. degree from
Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany, in 2013 and 2019,
respectively. His research focuses on methods and architectures for
reliability-based sensor fusion in intelligent vehicles.

*Winner Moonbeam Children's Book Award* *Winner Creative Child
Magazine Book of the Year Award* *Freeman Book Award for Children's
Literature* My First Book of Vietnamese Words is a beautifully
illustrated book that introduces Vietnamese language and culture to
young children through everyday words. This Vietnamese children's
book teaches in a playful way--combining the familiar ABC rhyming
structure with vivid illustrations to encourage young children's
natural language learning abilities. Words kids use every day in
English are joined by words unique to Vietnamese culture to give
kids a glimpse of Vietnamese life and to show how, despite cultural
differences, children all over the world have a lot in common.
Linguistic and cultural notes are added to enhance the kids'
adventure in a land that's modern yet filled with beautiful
traditions.
This open access book explores the transformative experiences of
participants in the University of Sydney's National Centre for
Cultural Competence (NCCC) programs. The establishment of the NCCC
was viewed as a critical point of departure for developing an
institution-wide agenda of cultural competence. The NCCC's work
since its inception reflects efforts to lay important foundations
for cultural change at the University. With the ultimate aim of
establishing cultural competence as an agent for transformational
change and social justice education, the NCCC has steadily expanded
its research and teaching work both within and beyond the
University of Sydney. Further, it has developed foundational
resources to support and encourage University staff to integrate
cultural competence philosophy and pedagogy in their curricula,
teaching and research. This includes the ability to engage
meaningfully with the cultures, histories and contemporary issues
in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The NCCC
programs have been designed to encourage participants to learn
about who they are and how they can positively impact the
transformational change the University has begun. The book presents
participants' reflections on their experiences at the
organisational and personal level. Readers will gain insights into
a range of topics including cultural competence, communities of
practice, policy implementation, and transformative leadership at
the interface between higher education and professional lives.
The financial crisis in 2008 has gone but its affection still left
the EU a disaster behind for example: Greece with highest record
government debt, Spain and Portugal with the alarm rate of
unemployment and Italy with a red inflation. The German economy is
however a good exception. Its industrialization has well developed
and brought a positive GDP and a number of job to the labour
market. This number of job has grown rapidly that created its own
excess labour demand situation. It is now addressed as an serious
issue, which will escalate in the next decade. Germany needs urgent
additional manpower. Labour immigration is one of their best
option. But lets not the immigration history repeating, like the
Turkish labour immigrants in the BDR 1960s incidence or the
mistreated Vietnamese guest workers in the GDR 1980s. A
well-organized integration plan is also what it needs. Therefore I
suggest the suitable approaches from the macro and micro aspects
such as: combine the international economic relations (labour as
main factor) with regional economic long term development
(effective productivity as main purpose). Managing the cross
culture issue is also very important: respecting each nation and
recognizing each identity. The main purpose of this book is to
prove that the labour immigration is the right solution for Germany
and the right approaches.
Vietnamese refugees fleeing the fall of South Vietnam faced a
paradox. The same guilt-ridden America that only reluctantly
accepted them expected, and rewarded, expressions of gratitude for
their rescue. Meanwhile, their status as refugees-as opposed to
willing immigrants-profoundly influenced their cultural identity.
Phuong Tran Nguyen examines the phenomenon of refugee nationalism
among Vietnamese Americans in Southern California. Here, the
residents of Little Saigon keep alive nostalgia for the old regime
and, by extension, their claim to a lost statehood. Their refugee
nationalism is less a refusal to assimilate than a mode of
becoming, in essence, a distinct group of refugee Americans. Nguyen
examines the factors that encouraged them to adopt this identity.
His analysis also moves beyond the familiar rescue narrative to
chart the intimate yet contentious relationship these Vietnamese
Americans have with their adopted homeland. Nguyen sets their
plight within the context of the Cold War, an era when Americans
sought to atone for broken promises but also saw themselves as
providing a sanctuary for people everywhere fleeing communism.

2017 (Congres International de Geotechnique - Ouvrages -
Structures) presents novel technologies, solutions and research
advances, making it an excellent guide in civil engineering for
researchers, students, and professional engineers alike. Since
2010, CIGOS has become a vital forum for international scientific
exchange on civil engineering. It aims to promote beneficial
economic partnerships and technology exchanges between enterprises,
worldwide institutions and universities. Following the success of
the last three CIGOS conferences (2010, 2013 and 2015), the 4th
conference was held at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology,
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam on 26 to 27 October 2017. The
main scientific themes of CIGOS 2017 were focused on 'New
Challenges in Civil Engineering'.
