"A sweeping biography of one of the most influential and successful business-women in American history, BECOMING ELIZABETH ARDEN opens the Red Door to a world of wealth, glamor, and the profitable business of beauty Elizabeth Arden was a household name on six continents and a millionaire several times over before her death in 1966. Arden counted British royalty and social elites from the overlapping worlds of New York, Hollywood, London, and Paris among her clients. She revolutionized skin care and cosmetics, making it acceptable for all women to embrace glamour and wear makeup-not just actresses and prostitutes. She created a successful international business empire before women gained the vote and at a time when virtually no woman owned or ran a national company. She developed the first luxury spa and insisted on a holistic understanding of health and beauty. Unconventional and driven, Arden fervently believed that every woman could be beautiful. Acclaimed biographer Stacy Cordery does full justice to one of America's greatest entrepreneurs. Canadian-born Florence Nightingale Graham turned herself into Elizabeth Arden, using her uncanny sense of the possible to take full advantage of everything New York City offered, building her company and becoming one with her brand. In an astounding rags-to-riches tale, Elizabeth Arden came to personify sophistication and refinement. Her hard work and innovation made makeup, fitness, and style not only acceptable but de rigueur. Arden prospered throughout the Depression, reimagined women's needs during two World Wars, and by pioneering new approaches to marketing and advertising, ushered beauty into the modern era. Cordery delivers a compelling picture of a modern CEO whose career provides a model for aspiring businesses to this day"--

The art, fashion and wine industries are currently at various stages in their efforts to embrace and transition towards sustainability. While sustainability commitments are a necessary condition for progress, they are not sufficient. Instead, there is a need for sweeping transformative change that includes giving serious consideration to indigenous worldviews without recolonizing them. Sustainability in Art, Fashion and Wine includes findings from recent research and contributes to a new understanding of familiar concepts such as sustainability, (de)colonization and corporate responsibility in the art, fashion and wine industries by adopting critical lenses and incorporating them with innovative perspectives on circular business models and digitalization. It endeavors to present remedies for effectively combating climate change and promoting social good. While discussing specific issues such as sub-contracted labor, safe working conditions, living wages, environmental degradation, mismanaged waste, and more, the book argues that recognizing the significant role western colonization has played - and continues to play - in the developing world in our current conception of capitalism is itself unsustainable. To understand the true meaning of sustainability - to fully recognize the looming deadlines we face in combating the climate crisis and instituting sustainability as a new normal - the acceptance of a new conception of capitalism, one antithetical to colonization and exploitation, is required. Contributors to this book address these issues by applying a critical studies approach to their respective chapters, allowing the book to set out what real sustainability could and should look like in the art, fashion and wine industries.

Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace: A Game ChangerAdditive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is revolutionizing the aerospace industry. AM allows for the production of complex parts with intricate geometries that would be difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods. AM also enables the use of lightweight materials, which can improve the fuel efficiency and performance of aircraft.One of the key advantages of AM for aerospace is its flexibility. AM can be used to produce custom parts in small batches, which is ideal for prototyping and low-volume production. AM can also be used to produce parts that are not possible to manufacture using traditional methods, such as parts with internal cavities or complex lattice structures.Another key advantage of AM for aerospace is its ability to reduce weight. AM allows for the use of lightweight materials, such as titanium and aluminum alloys, which can significantly reduce the weight of aircraft components. This can lead to improved fuel efficiency and performance, as well as reduced maintenance costs.AM is already being used by aerospace companies to produce a wide range of parts, including fuel nozzles, heat exchangers, and structural components. For example, GE Aviation is using AM to produce fuel nozzles for its LEAP jet engine, which are 30% lighter and more efficient than traditional nozzles. Airbus is also using AM to produce heat exchangers for its A350 XWB aircraft, which are 30% lighter and more compact than traditional heat exchangers.In the future, AM is expected to play an even greater role in the aerospace industry. As AM technology continues to develop, it will become possible to produce even more complex and lightweight parts using AM. AM is also expected to be used to produce entire aircraft components, such as wings and fuselages.

Insufficient security is careless, too much security is inefficient.Recent surveys point out that the fear of cyber attacks is one of the three biggest business risks. Digitalization based on cloud computing, mobility or the internet of things are important drivers for pushing productivity in industrial environments. Cybersecurity is a prerequisite for digitalization in the industry.The importance of security protection concepts is growing with increasing external attacks. Operators of critical infrastructure have to maintain minimum standards and to protect their installations against cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity requires a holistic approach. Effective protection concepts can only be implemented with a range of organizational and technical measures. Product suppliers, system integrators, and operators have to work together to deploy holistic protection solutions. The new edition describes the security protection scheme in much more detail. A holistic protection includes a combination of technology, process, and people aspects for the protection of industrial facilities during operation.The series of standards IEC 62443 supports the development of holistic solutions for the protection of industrial facilities and addresses all involved actors. Correspondingly IEC 62443 is perceived as complex. This guideline has the aim to simplify the approach to the deployment of protection concepts by giving an overview about IEC 62443, summarizing the ideas and concepts, and illustrating practical solutions.

Dieses Lehrbuch befasst sich leicht verständlich mit der Theorie der Kalman-Filterung. Die Autoren geben damit eine Einführung in Kalman-Filter und deren Anwendung für eingebettete Systeme. Zusätzlich wird anhand konkreter Praxisbeispiele der Kalman-Filterentwurf demonstriert ¿ Teilschritte werden im Buch ausführlich erläutert.Kalman-Filter sind die erste Wahl, um Störsignale auf den Sensorsignalen zu eliminieren. Dies ist von besonderer Bedeutung, da viele technische Systeme ihre prozessrelevanten Informationen über Sensoren gewinnen. Jeder Messwert eines Sensors weißt jedoch aufgrund verschiedener Ursachen einen Messfehler auf. Würde ein System nur auf Basis dieser ungenauen Sensorinformationen arbeiten, so wären viele Anwendungen, wie zum Beispiel ein Navigationssystem oder autonome arbeitende Systeme, nicht möglich.Das Buch ist geeignet für interessierte Bachelor- und Master-Studierende der Fachrichtungen Informatik, Maschinenbau, Elektrotechnik undMechatronik. Ebenso ist das Buch eine Hilfe für Ingenieure und Wissenschaftler, die ein Kalman-Filter z. B. für die Datenfusion oder die Schätzung unbekannter Größen in Echtzeitanwendungen einsetzen möchten.
