Die Weltenbummler in Indien, Tagebuch einer 80-tägigen Reise durch Goa. Endlich mal wieder ausgiebig Zeit, etwas Neues zu entdecken. Dieses Mal sollte es Indien sein. Den Norden mit seinen touristischen Sehenswürdigkeiten und Kerala im Süden mit den herrlichen Stränden hatten die Weltenbummler schon mehrfach bereist. Taj Mahal, das rote Fort, Palast der Winde und Amber Fort waren für sie faszinierend. Nach Goa, dem Traumziel für unzählige Aussteiger und Backpacker, hatten die zwei es bisher nicht geschafft. Jetzt wollten sie sich drei Monate Zeit nehmen, um die herrlichen Strände und deren Hinterland zu erkunden. Dass es im Hinterland nicht viel zu entdecken gab, die Strände dafür alle Erwartungen übertrafen, wurde ihnen recht bald klar. In Form eines Reisetagebuchs, mit knapp 200 Bildern in Schwarzweiß und Farbe, berichten die zwei Weltenbummler ihre Erlebnisse vor Ort. Von raffgierigen Taxifahrern, aber auch extrem günstigen Reisemöglichkeiten in öffentlichen Bussen, von Fressgelagen am abendlichen Strand und vielfältigen Genüssen in einfachen und gehobenen Restaurants wird berichtet. Im Internet zu arbeiten oder den eigenen Blog hochzuladen, war zeitweise unmöglich und verlangte unendliche Geduld. Und immer wieder die Frage der einheimischen Bediensteten: "Habt ihr in Deutschland nicht einen Job für mich?" Sonne und heiße Temperaturen waren an der Tagesordnung. Doch plötzlich war nichts mehr, wie es vorher war. Das Corona-Virus beherrschte die Welt und breitete sich rasant aus. Per WhatsApp und E-Mails wurden die zwei von den Freunden zu Hause immer mehr und intensiver aufgefordert, Goa baldigst zu verlassen. Den beiden wurde immer mehr bewusst, dass es nur eine Möglichkeit gab, dem Chaos die Stirn zu bieten und gesund der Krise zu entkommen: Nichts wie ab nach Hause! Leider stellte sich heraus, dass dies einfacher gesagt als getan war. Endlich zu Hause angekommen, fühlten sie sich wie in einer fremden Welt.

This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of unbundling and, in particular, ownership unbundling policies from the perspective of international economic law. It does so by focusing on the prominent example of the EU’s energy sector and its Third Energy Package. Unbundling has become an increasingly crucial competition instrument in network-bound industries worldwide. It is designed to ensure access to bottleneck infrastructures on fair and non-discriminatory terms and thus to suppress the anti-competitive potential deriving from vertical integration in natural monopoly situations. While promoting important public policy objectives, unbundling policies have also raised a number of legal issues. This book analyzes how international economic law limits the adoption and maintenance of unbundling and related measures and also outlines how international trade law can play a ‘positive’ role in this field. As a result, it provides a valuable reference for academics, practitioners and policy-makers.

<p>With this book, Christopher Kormanyos delivers a highly practical guide to programming real-time embedded microcontroller systems in C++. It is divided into three parts plus several appendices. Part I provides a foundation for real-time C++ by covering language technologies, including object-oriented methods, template programming and optimization. Next, part II presents detailed descriptions of a variety of C++ components that are widely used in microcontroller programming. It details some of C++’s most powerful language elements, such as class types, templates and the STL, to develop components for microcontroller register access, low-level drivers, custom memory management, embedded containers, multitasking, etc. Finally, part III describes mathematical methods and generic utilities that can be employed to solve recurring problems in real-time C++. The appendices include a brief C++ language tutorial, information on the real-time C++ development environment and instructions for building GNU GCC cross-compilers and a microcontroller circuit.</p> <p></p> <p>For this third edition, the most recent specification of C++17 in ISO/IEC 14882:2017 is used throughout the text. Several sections on new C++17 functionality have been added, and various others reworked to reflect changes in the standard. Also several new sample projects are introduced and existing ones extended, and various user suggestions have been incorporated. To facilitate portability, no libraries other than those specified in the language standard itself are used. Efficiency is always in focus and numerous examples are backed up with real-time performance measurements and size analyses that quantify the true costs of the code down to the very last byte and microsecond.</p> <p>The target audience of this book mainly consists of students and professionals interested in real-time C++. Readers should be familiar with C or another programming language and will benefit most if they have had some previous experience with microcontroller electronics and the performance and size issues prevalent in embedded systems programming.</p>

<p>This two-volume book offers a comprehensive treatment of the probabilistic approach to mean field game models and their applications. The book is self-contained in nature and includes original material and applications with explicit examples throughout, including numerical solutions.</p> <p>Volume II tackles the analysis of mean field games in which the players are affected by a common source of noise. The first part of the volume introduces and studies the concepts of weak and strong equilibria, and establishes general solvability results. The second part is devoted to the study of the master equation, a partial differential equation satisfied by the value function of the game over the space of probability measures. Existence of viscosity and classical solutions are proven and used to study asymptotics of games with finitely many players.</p> Together, both Volume I and Volume II will greatly benefit mathematical graduate students and researchers interested in mean field games. The authors provide a detailed road map through the book allowing different access points for different readers and building up the level of technical detail. The accessible approach and overview will allow interested researchers in the applied sciences to obtain a clear overview of the state of the art in mean field games. <p></p>

In this timely study, Jean Buttigieg demonstrates the necessity to make it a legal principle of international law that the human genome is a common heritage of mankind. In 1997, the UNESCO General Conference declared the human genome a common heritage of humankind. This declaration was followed by the Joint Statement of March 14, 2000, by US President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in which they stated that the “fundamental data on the human genome, including the human DNA sequence and its variations, should be made freely available to scientists everywhere.” This announcement to allow “unencumbered access” to this fundamental data on the human genome, for the benefit of all humanity, appeared to endorse the UNESCO Declaration of 1997 on the human genome. But as it turns out, these statements were only political slogans since there is a complete lack of any genuine attempts to make the human genome a legal principle of international law so far. This study's foremost goal is to re-introduce the philosophical and political implications of the concept of common heritage of mankind into public discourse, as intended by Arvid Pardo when he addressed the UN General Assembly on November 1, 1967, and apply them to the human genome. As Buttigieg demonstrates, the biggest challenge here comes from the patent system in its present form, which encourages the commercialization of the human genome by explicitly denying scientists “unencumbered access” to the fundamental raw data. By putting individual rights before community rights, the patent system effectively hinders discoveries that prompt new and better medical treatments. Buttigieg also discusses issues of biotechnology. While the biotechnology debate is very often centred on which new applications of biotechnology should or should not be permitted, it so far lacks a critical philosophical analysis of biotechnology itself. The true essence of the human genome, Buttigieg argues, is to be found in metaphysics and not biology. This study fills a gap in the literature on the human genome and the common heritage of mankind by addressing the metaphysical nature of the human genome and discussing the philosophical concerns surrounding the field of biotechnology.
