Sommario/riassunto

This collection focuses on a variety of important themes in the American Jewish and Judaic experience. It opens with essays on early Jewish settlers (1654-1820), the expansion of Jewish life in America (1820-1901), the great wave of eastern European Jewish immigrants (1880-1924), the character of American Judaism between the two world wars, American Jewish life from the end of World War II to the Six-Day War, and the growth of Jews' influence and affluence. The second half of the volume includes essays on Orthodox Jews, the history of Jewish education in America, the rise of Jewish soc

simulation of hard turning with macroscopic models -- Modeling of Orthogonal Metal Cutting Using Adaptive Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics -- Experimental and simulative modeling of drilling processes for the compensation of thermal effects -- Thermomechanical Deformation of Complex Workpieces in Milling and Drilling Processes -- Compensation Strategies for Thermal Effects in Dry Milling -- Modeling, Simulation and Compensation of Thermomechanically Induced Material Deformation in Dry NC Milling Processes -- Coupling analytical and numerical models to simulate thermomechanical interaction during the milling process of thin-walled workpieces -- Modeling, simulation and compensation of thermal effects in gear hobbing -- Modelling and Simulation of Internal Traverse Grinding – from Micro-thermo-mechanical Mechanisms to Process Models.

Sommario/riassunto

This contributed volume contains the research results of the priority programme (PP) 1480 “Modelling, Simulation and Compensation of Thermal Effects for Complex Machining Processes", funded by the German Research Society (DFG). The topical focus of this programme is the simulation-based prediction and compensation of thermally induced workpiece deviations and subsurface damage effects. The approach to the topic is genuinely interdisciplinary, covering all relevant machining operations such as turning, milling, drilling and grinding. The target audience primarily comprises research experts and practitioners in the field of production engineering, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses sustainable housing issues in urban areas throughout the Global South, revealing their complexity in terms of



urban dynamics, housing markets and human interactions with the environment. Its main focus is on the location of graves within private residences, cemeteries in the immediate vicinity of private residences, and the implications of these factors for renters’ choices and rents. The book addresses the economics of land use for graves in connection with housing choices and the implications for the rented sector of the property market. By means of several model-based simulations, it demonstrates that the neoclassical economics remedy to the negative externality of graves in or near private residences remains generally unacceptable. Providing readers with a clear understanding of tenants’ priorities in their choice of housing, as well as a new approach to the negative externality of graves in the rented sector, the book will be of interest to policymakers, urban planners, investors in residential housing and land economists alike. .
