Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is a high-fidelity approach to the numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Recent developments have shown LES to be able to predict aerodynamic noise generation and propagation as well as the turbulent flow, by means of either a hybrid or a direct approach.

This book is based on the results of two French/German research groups working on LES simulations in complex geometries and noise generation in turbulent flows. The results provide insights into modern prediction approaches for turbulent flows and noise generation mechanisms as well as their use for novel noise reduction concepts.

"Continental Philosophy: ""A Critical Approach" is a lucid and wide-ranging introduction to the key figures and philosophical movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Includes chapters on Hegel; Marx and Western Marxism; Schopenhauer, Freud, and Bergson; Nietzsche; hermeneutics; phenomenology; existentialism; structuralism; poststructuralism; French feminism; and postmodernism.
Provides an ideal text or background resource for many different introductory and advanced courses on modern European philosophy.

This book explores shifting forms of continental colonialism in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, from the early modern period to the present. It offers an interdisciplinary approach bringing together historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to contribute to a critical historical anthropology of colonialism. Though focused on the modern era, the volume illustrates that the colonial paradigm is a framework of theories and concepts that can be applied globally and deeply into the past. The chapters engage with a wide range of topics and disciplinary approaches from the theoretical to the empirical, deepening our understanding of under-researched areas of colonial studies and providing a cutting edge contribution to the study of continental and internal colonialism for all those interested in the global impact of colonialism on continents.

Since the end of state repression against religion, two major processes have taken place in the formerly socialist countries: historically dominant churches strive to reassert their position in society, while new religious groups and ideas from various parts of the world are proliferating. This generates pluralism of religious communities and individual religious attitudes. Religious Diversity in Post-Soviet Society presents the first collection of ethnographies of this new religious diversity for Lithuania, a country that has a long history of a dominant Catholic Church. The authors reveal how Catholicism has become increasingly diversified and other religions (Charismatic Protestantism, Baltic Paganism, Eastern religions and other alternative spiritualities) are claiming their space in the religious field.

Offering unique, comprehensive coverage of both basic science and clinical scenarios, Clinical Immunology: Principles and Practice, 6th Edition, brings you up to date with every aspect of this fast-changing field. It examines the molecular, cellular, and immunologic bases of immunologic diseases and their broader systemic implications; it also includes complete coverage of common and uncommon immunologic disorders. Updated with all the latest immunologic research and clinical implications, including breakthrough immunotherapies and molecular-based treatment protocols, this fully revised edition provides authoritative guidance from some of the most respected global leaders in immunology in one complete, well-illustrated volume. Includes extensive revisions that reflect rapidly expanding research and clinical advances, including breakthrough drug and immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, immunotherapies for cancer, precision medicine, and transfusion medicine. Contains new chapters on COVID-19, immune responses, and the role of the immune system; immunoregulatory deficiencies; immune checkpoints; CAR T cells, including new cellular-based immunotherapy; gene therapy, including CRISPR and gene selection; and a clinically focused chapter on asthma. Provides new genetics content focused on data applications. Addresses notable advances in key areas such as the importance of the microbiota to normal immune system development and to the pathogenesis of immunologic and inflammatory diseases; relationships between the innate and adaptive immune systems; progress in rapid and cost-effective genomics; cell signaling pathways and the structure of cell-surface molecules; and many more. Covers hot topics such as the role of genetics and genomics in immune response and immunologic disease, atherosclerosis, recurrent fever syndromes, aging and deficiencies of innate immunity, the role of microbiota in normal immune system development and in the pathogenesis of immunologic and inflammatory diseases, and novel therapeutics. Features a user-friendly format with color-coded boxes highlighting critical information on Key Concepts, Clinical Pearls, Clinical Relevance, and Therapeutic Principles. Summarizes promising research and development anticipated over the next 5-10 years with "On the Horizon" boxes and discussions of translational research. An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

Die Shareholder Value-Orientierung hat das Controlling stark beeinflusst und sich in zahlreichen Controllinginstrumenten niedergeschlagen. Unabhangig von der Kritik, die an einer konsequenten Ausrichtung des Unternehmensgeschehens am Unternehmenswert bisweilen geaussert wird, lassen sich in jungerer Zeit Entwicklungen ausmachen, die moglicherweise neue Anforderungen an das Controlling begrunden und eine verstarkte Stakeholder-Orientierung verlangen. Zu nennen sind beispielsweise Themen wie demographischer Wandel, Klimawandel oder auch die immer wieder gestellten Anforderungen an die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Unternehmen. Auch birgt die zunehmende Internationalisierung unternehmerischer Aktivitaten neue Herausforderungen fur Unternehmen. Der Herausgeberband ist auf die Frage gerichtet, in welchen Anforderungen an das Controlling sich diese aktuellen Entwicklungen niederschlagen und welche Controllingkonzepte und insbesondere -instrumente zu ihrer Bewaltigung bereitstehen."

While studying about the Holocaust, students in a small Tennessee town cannot imagine the number six million--the number of Jews killed. So they begin to collect paper clips, one for each victim, to create their own memorial. This event is the subject of the film documentary, "Paper Clips."

Drs. Stefano Cazzanti (Psy.D.) and Ryan W. Schroeder (Psy.D., LP, ABPP Cn) examine the relationship between the Index of Learning Styles (ILS), visual-verbal learning preference domains, and five valid neuropsychological instruments that measure visual and verbal cognitive processes. These instruments are the California Verbal Learning Test-II (CVLT-II), the Logical Memory, the Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R), and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence-II (WASI-II).The authors discuss the results in the context of statistical and practical significance (i.e., effect size); potential explanations for the pattern of correlations observed are set forth. The data reported is easily readable and interpretable through APA style tables and descriptions. Strengths and limitations of the study are included as are guidelines for future research with specific populations. The goal of the study was to examine whether criterion-related validity could be established between the ILS and the neuropsychological measures. This book may be for you if: 1) you have a general interest in instructional psychology 2) you are curious as to whether there is positive correlation between preferring to learn information by hearing it verbally or seeing it visually presented and actual verbal versus visual performance on tests that objectively measure those learning domains 3) you have an interest in learning style preferences and the "instructional hypothesis" 4) you are discerning about neuropsychological assessments that quantify visual and verbal cognitive processes 5) you are interested in discourse on both statistical and practical (real-life) significance 6) you would like an opinion on previous literature in the field 7) you would like to familiarize yourself with other self-administered learning style questionnaires in addition to the Index of Learning Styles 8) you are interested in construct validity associated with testing instruments
