“…The seven research papers deal respectively with the aerodynamic optimization of wind turbine blades through Gurney flaps; optimization of blade design for large offshore wind turbines; control design optimization of large wind turbines through the analysis of the competing objectives of energy yield maximization and fatigue loads minimization; design optimization of a tension leg platform for floating wind turbines; innovative methods for the assessment of wind turbine optimization technologies operating on site; optimization of multiple wake interactions modeling through the introduction of a mixing coefficient in the energy balance method; and optimization of the dynamic stall control of vertical-axis wind turbines through plasma actuators. This Special Issue presents remarkable research activities in the timely subject of wind turbine power optimization technology, covering various aspects. …”

“…In Part I, the contributors provide a sober assessment of the obstacles that neo-liberal hegemony presents to substantive transformation. In Part Two, lessons learned from North-South research collaborations and academic exchanges are assessed in terms of their potential to offer real alternatives. …”

“…Això s'aconsegueix partint el procés en tres fases: particionament de les relacions, execució del join i obtenció del resultat. En aquest projecte s'analitzen, simulen i comparen sis algorismes per el procés paral·lel de joins de dues relacions en una arquitectura multicomputador, i més concretament en un entorn distribuït federat, que podrien ser utilitzats per forma part d'una estrategia que solucioni el problema existent…”

“…Ce faisant, ils ont réalisé un inventaire sans lequel les travaux sur la biodiversité, son histoire et sa distribution géographique, comme les mesures en faveur de sa protection, ne seraient pas possibles. Devenus célèbres ou demeurés presque obscurs, ces botanistes revivent ici par le texte et l’illustration, dans autant de biographies qui retracent leurs itinéraires personnels et les resituent dans leur temps et dans l’évolution de la systématique végétale du xviiie siècle à nos jours…”

“…This manuscript provides key findings of the research project entitled Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation into Southern Thailand, under the joint support of the Alliance Française Bangkok and the IRASEC. …”

“…To answer this question, the reality of the metropolis is discussed in two main aspects: a first, concerning the understanding of the metropolitan space as a socio-historical product, the result of the conception of the creators of the project for the construction of a new capital for Brazil and of the spatial practice - of them and of those who appropriate this space, also acting in its production - which resulted in what we now know as Brasília and its metropolitan space; and a second, concerning the passage from the analysis of the discursive plan to the fully lived one, that is, from the demonstration, through ideas, concepts, information and findings, of which metropolitan space it is concerned, one seeks to enter this space at scale of everyday life in order to try to show the lived space: that which the inhabitants of a distant and supposedly less integrated periphery take over who are, in fact, a constituent part of the metropolis…”

“…While the views of other major pragmatists (William James, John Dewey, and Hilary Putnam) are also carefully analyzed and contrasted, Peirce's conception is shown to present at least three advantages: "to provide the rational framework for inquiry to proceed" (it is genuinely "logical"), to "make sense of the practice of inquiry as the search for truth", as something which is not transcendent, beyond inquiry, but accessible (it is genuinely "human"), and finally "to justify a methodology" by encouraging the inquirer to put his beliefs to the test of experience…”

“…Rather than evaded or denied, it was welcomed because it seemed for the first time since childhood to mark a structural occurrence presenting a new metaphysical datum. As it happened, this quality proved very elusive in its mature bothersomeness and the inquiry into it soon turned into a sort of quasi-theoretical fascination, which took as its main theme the fate of pure subjectivity — the utterly unfunctional, utterly useless, utterly dispensible feeling of being. …”

“…In addition, the papers illuminate the linguistic turn in literary and historical studies. Thus the volume presents the foundations and theoretical and methodological approaches to linguistics as a cultural study, together with examples related to practice…”

“…Understanding effects and mechanisms of ER stress-associated transcriptional reprogramming has high impact on many areas of molecular genetics and will be particularly informative to the development of pharmacologic avenues towards the prevention and treatment of modern common human diseases by targeting the UPR signaling. …”

“…Empirical research in this area typically focuses on only one piece of this puzzle based on a specific strand of theory and a narrow section of relevant prior findings. The present research topic will, for the first time, attempt to provide a fairly complete picture of the whole puzzle including all its disparate parts. …”

“…Selbststudium ist ein wichtiges Element im Zuge der Digitalisierungsbestrebungen an Hochschulen. Das Projekt optes widmet sich dem digitalen, begleiteten Selbststudium im Fach Mathematik. …”

“…It is focused on what we do and what we can do, if we approach education with love for the world and acknowledge that education is based on hope in the present, rather than on optimism for an eternally deferred future…”

“…Porno-Graphics and Porno-Tactics asks whether, and how, it is possible to re-appropriate pornography and think through it critically and creatively for a project of liberation. In the different contributions which make up this deliberately heterogeneous collection of short, non-canonical essays, such quest proceeds by re-articulating the aporias of desire, intimacy, touch and seduction. …”

“…»Der Sammelband ist denjenigen Leser/-innen zu empfehlen, die Spaß am Mit- und Querdenken haben und sich darüber im Klaren sind, dass es auch eine ungesunde Priorität der Prävention geben kann.« Forum Kriminalprävention, 4 (2013) »Dieser Sammelband nähert sich dem Katastrophendiskurs aus überraschend vielfältigen Perspektiven und bietet eine überzeugende Neuformulierung des Gesamtkonzepts ›Katastrophe‹ an.« Anke Kristina Aßmann-Gramberg, Sicherheit + Frieden, 4 (2013) Besprochen in: Fraunhofer IRB, 10 (2013) Neue Politische Literatur, 61 (2016)…”
