Aus den Straßen europäischer Städte sind sie kaum noch wegzudenken: Lasten- und Transporträder. Im Personenverkehr sind sie für Einkäufe und Kindertransporte bereits Standard, ebenso im Kuriersegment sowie der Paketzustellung. Besonders in der Logistik und im Wirtschaftsverkehr liegt noch ein sehr breit gefächertes und ausdifferenziertes Einsatzpotenzial. Die Renaissance des Lastenrads als Transportmittel nimmt auch im gewerblichen Sektor an Bedeutung zu. Das Open Access-Buch bietet in dieser Form erstmals systematisch aufbereitetes Wissen für Praktiker in Wirtschaft, Politik und Verwaltung sowie für Studierende in den Bereichen Logistik und Verkehrsplanung. Zu den einzelnen Aspekten der Radlogistik (u. a. Fahrzeuge und Technik, gewerblicher Einsatz, logistischer Einsatz, Planung, Infrastrukturen, intermodale Einbindung, Best-Practice-Beispiele, Entwicklungstrends) haben national renommierte Wissenschaftler:innen Beiträge verfasst. Dieses Buch bündelt den aktuellen Wissensstand auf Basis von Forschungsergebnissen und stellt ihn kompakt und übersichtlich dar.

A report on apparent subliminal communication by intelligent Aliens who wish to help us advance our theoretical understanding of nature and the universe. Seemingly unable to communicate with or guide us directly, they've studied all our doctrinal and alternative theories and pointed to those consistent with their own far more advanced understanding. The many inconsistencies and anomalies in our current physics are resolved, often needing fundamental review of long held beliefs. The guidance is heuristic not mathematical, has proved empirically fully consistent and is far easier to understand then much terrestrial Physics theory. The subjects explained include all major fundamental areas including what we categorise as Relativity & Quantum Mechanics (causally unified), Logic, Dark Matter & Energy, Gravity, Cyclic Galaxy Evolution and Cosmology.

Research has shown that students improve their problem-solving skills by working through puzzles, even from infancy. Children love working their way through a jigsaw, and as they watch the big picture emerging, they develop a sense of fulfilment and accomplishments. It is amazing how much students learn from wordsearches and puzzles.The goal is making Physics as a subject more accessible to more students. The path is through anagrams as brain teasers, wordsearches as builders of key vocabulary, crossword puzzles as concept keys, and the mind-maps to create the bigger picture, helping students appreciate why they are learning a topic.It promises to be an exciting journey. Why not start your students on the first step.Bon voyage!

A history of little known ice age landforms and their importance to the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

Daniel Barnett is a remarkable young man. At the age of 14, he has decided to take on the current populist belief in Bigfoot, both in the United States and, more importantly, in the United Kingdom. People have been claiming that there is a British Bigfoot for many years. There is certainly a recurrent Fortean phenomenon which appears to be a humanoid giant. Our ancestors called them woodwoses. I know that these things exist. I have seen one. In January 2003 an immensely tall figure ran between two marked trees in Bolam Lake Forest in Northumberland. I was one of five people that saw it. What exactly it is I still don't know.Daniel has taken it upon himself to recruit a team of like-minded individuals, and to utilise modern technology and the scientific method to investigate these, the most intangible examples of modern cryptozoology. Whether he will succeed, none of us know, but he has already garnered some remarkable results.This is his story, and it is also the story of his remarkable family, who have encouraged him every step of the way. What is going to happen next? I have no idea, but I can't wait to find out.Jonathan Downes, Director, Centre for Fortean Zoology, February 2024

This book documents a paradigm shift, not only in the sciences but also in society. Everywhere in society systems are becoming networks. This implies not only a new understanding of social science but also of society and ourselves. The book describes the systems model based on Luhmann's theory of social systems and compares this to Latour's actor-network theory. It argues that present day society cannot be successfully modeled as a system and illustrates the transformation to a global network society by citing many examples from business, education, and healthcare. The authors argue that actor-network theory provides a more comprehensive account of these changes than systems theory. Based on actor-network theory, they propose a theory of the "digital transformation" that is ushering in the global network society.Although people in all areas talk about systems, adaptive behavior, evolution, complexity, and networks, few know where these concepts come from, and what they mean in the theories they belong to. This book is for all who are concerned with clarifying the often taken-for-granted assumptions and concepts that are implicitly or explicitly derived from systems theory and network theory. It offers an introduction to the work of Luhmann and Latour and a critical and constructive development of these important theories for the 21stcentury.

This book gives a new basis for Cosmos Theory in a zero dimension mathematical point and a fractal, Hilbert-like creation of Cosmos spaces with each step in the construction process. It has identical features to the Cosmos Theory created from a consideration of the number of quantum field creation and annihilation operators. The new Cosmos basis gives structure to our universe and has the fundamental fermion spectrum and internal symmetries observed experimentally in the Standard Model. The book has the following points: 1. A description of the Hilbert fractal curve construction.2. A map of a Hilbert curve construction from one to two dimensions, augmented with a construction from a zero dimension point to a one dimension line. This zero to two construction yields the Cosmos Theory spaces with every step corresponding to a Cosmos space. The construction takes a zero dimension point to two dimension fractal grid.3. An ultimate creation without a prior dynamics. Creation from nothing.4. A demonstration of the transformation of the set of Cosmos spaces into a type of fractal curve.5. An outline of the Unified SuperStandard Theory predicted by Cosmos Theory.6. A chaos of universes with form given by a Planckian distribution. The model implies 23 universes of the types of various Cosmos spaces.7. A discussion of a "confinement" of dimensions analogous to quark confinement.8. A definition of a Peano-like fractal curve construction based on powers of 3 that accommodates multi-quark "particles" that we call quarkium-9, quarkium-27 and so on.9. A Planckian model for the Quark Core of a neutron star that describes its quarkium-9 and quarkium-27 content.

Delving into the recent discovery of the brain's immune system, Dr. Monty Lyman reveals the extraordinary implications for our physical and mental health.Until a decade ago, we misunderstood a fundamental aspect of human health. Although the brain and the body have always been viewed as separate entities-treated in separate hospitals--science now shows that they are intimately linked.Startlingly, we now know that our immune system is in constant communication with our brain and can directly alter our mental health.This has opened up a new frontier in medicine. Could inflammation cause depression, and could arthritis drugs cure it? Can gut microbes alter your mood? Can something as simple as brushing your teeth properly reduce your risk of dementia? Could childhood infections lie behind neurological and psychiatric disorders such as tics and obsessive compulsive disorder?In The Immune Mind, Dr. Monty Lyman explores the fascinating connection between the mind, immune system, and microbiome. A specialist in the cutting-edge field of immuno-psychiatry, Lyman argues that we need to change the way we treat disease and the way we see ourselves. For the first time, we have a new approach to medicine that treats the whole human being.

If you've never heard of geographic information systems (GIS), The Power of Where is the book for you, and if you think you know what GIS is, you might be surprised to learn how far it has advanced.From the Ring of Fire to the Fertile Crescent, this book shows through its maps and stories how a growing GIS community is facing down humanity's big challenges. Central to the book is the geographic approach--a way of solving problems that uses spatial location to perceive and understand patterns--from wildlife migration and rising seas to urban planning and food production. Its message arises from a deep human sense of place and conviction that this collaborative approach can help us confront climate change, hunger, water scarcity, inequity, biodiversity loss, and issues large and small in our everyday lives.Explore live examples from the book and learn more about interactive mapping and the tools of modern GIS at thepowerofwherebook.com.Jack Dangermond, the cofounder and president of Esri, is internationally acknowledged as the leading visionary in the field of GIS technology.
