But do these high-profile men accurately represent the gendered make up of corporate-government in the United States? In this first in-depth look at the changing face of corporate lobbying, Denise Benoit shows how women who have historically worked mostly in policy areas relating to "women's issues" such as welfare, family, and health have become increasingly influential as corporate lobbyists, specializing in what used to be considered "masculine" policy, such as taxes and defense. Benoit finds that this new crop of female lobbyists mobilize both masculinity and femininity in ways that create and maintain trusting, open, and strong relations with those in government, and at the same time help corporations to save and earn billions of dollars. While the media focuses on the dubious behaviors of men at the top of business and government, this book shows that female corporate lobbyists are indeed one of the best kept secrets in Washington. 606 $aBusinesswomen$zUnited States 606 $aCorporations$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aLobbying$zUnited States 615 0$aBusinesswomen 615 0$aCorporations$xPolitical activity 615 0$aLobbying 676 $a328.73/078082 700 $aBenoit$b Denise$f1955-$01467859 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778363303321 996 $aThe best-kept secret$93678722 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00710nas 2200241 a 450 001 996210550203316 005 20240413014203.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000438958 035 $a(CONSER)sn 87045073 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000438958 100 $a20780220a19739999 uy 101 0 $aspa 200 00$aCuadernos de Crisis 210 $a[Buenos Aires] $cEditorial del Noroeste$d1973- 215 $a1 online resource 311 $aPrint version: Cuadernos de Crisis.

In this work, an iterative and robust approach to create highly accurate maps comprising any number of drives of arbitrary length with constant computation complexity is proposed. Furthermore, a high-precision self-localization method using multiple cameras covering the surrounding environment is presented. 606 $aMechanical engineering & materials$2bicssc 610 $aAutomated Driving 610 $aAutomatisiertes Fahren 610 $aEnvironment Perception 610 $aFahrzeugsehen 610 $aLokalisierung 610 $aMachine Vision 610 $aMapping and Localization 610 $aSLAM 610 $aUmweltwahrnehmung 615 7$aMechanical engineering & materials 700 $aSons$b Marc$4auth$01279402 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476899903321 996 $aAutomatische Erzeugung langzeitverfügbarer Punktmerkmalskarten zur robusten Lokalisierung mit Multi-Kamera-Systemen für automatisierte Fahrzeuge$93015329 997 $aUNINA
