This open access book presents a series of complicated hydraulic phenomena and related mechanism of high-speed flows in head-head dam. According to the basic hydraulic theory, detailed experiments and numerical simulations, microscopic scale analysis on cavitation bubbles, air bubbles, turbulent eddy vortices and sand grains are examined systemically. These investigations on microscopic fluid m…
This Open Access book presents the results of the "Collaborative Embedded Systems" (CrESt) project, aimed at adapting and complementing the methodology underlying modeling techniques developed to cope with the challenges of the dynamic structures of collaborative embedded systems (CESs) based on the SPES development methodology.

We would like to dedicate this book to Professor Chris Pickvance, who passed away in autumn of 2021. As an urban sociologist and one of the first scholars to lead a comparative research project on housing movements in Central and Eastern Europe just after 1989, Chris has been a great inspiration for our work. He also generously commented on our draft manuscript as part of our advisory …

Im Zuge der schrittweisen Verlagerung von Gestaltungsspielräumen von der Systemebene auf die operative Ebene (Altrichter und Maag Merki 2010; Füssel und Leschinsky 2008) sind auch Aufgaben der schulischen Personalentwicklung in den Verantwortungsbereich der Schulen übergegangen (Buhren und Rolff 2002; Meetz 2007; Brauckmann und Eder 2019). Dienstvorgesetztenfunktion und Weisungsbefugni…
This volume, The Forum of Federations Handbook on Fiscal Federalism, we consider to be an important contribution to the study of federalism. Bringing together scholars and practitioners from across the globe, it seeks to broaden and update current understandings of the state of fiscal federalism within 11 country case studies, and by so doing attempts to tease out some extrapolatory l…
