Influences of Road Surface Characteristics on Scattering Mechanisms in Automotive Radar
In this work, the influence of different road surfaces and materials, or more precisely of different asphalt and concrete surfaces, is analyzed for the automotive 77GHz band. It comprises all roads commonly found on German highways and distinguishes in specular reflection and diffuse scattering behavior. The changeover from one to the other behavior is determined by the Rayleigh criterion resulting in corresponding critical angles. For these measurements the area of sands method, the focus beam method, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) setup as well as a openspace FMCW radar setup with a corner reflector are applied. The characterization includes probability density functions (PDF) of the reflectance of these dielectric surfaces using normal distribution as well as Rayleigh distribution. For the evaluation of the openspace measurements, the radar equation and Fresnel's equations are used, resulting in relative permittivity and roughness values, which are provided as well in an open source material library named OpenMATERIAL. For validation purposes reference samples and measurements with different polarization of the radar sensor are used.

Current Perspectives in Spanish Lexical Development
New quantitative methodology and the development of corpus and experimental linguistics tools have recently made researching lexical comprehension and production more accessible. While several tools and data sets are available in English (Coh-metrix, CELEX) and a few other languages, the development of resources and empirical research is still lacking in Spanish. This volume brings together original empirical research and theoretical perspectives that examine lexical development in Spanish L1, L2 and L3, with a focus on different teaching approaches and textbook coverage of Spanish lexicon in L2 curricula and the use of corpus linguistics in methodological investigations. Some questions addressed include the role of lexical development in mapping grammatical acquisition phases, the potential transfers of L1 to L2 lexical abilities, the effect of explicit vocabulary learning techniques in L2, how affective meaning modulates L2 acquisition, or how a typological understanding of lexical organization can help in teaching more effectively the lexicon of a language, among many others. The book offers an overview of what is currently being done in the field of Spanish lexical acquisition through a myriad of approaches and topics.

The Networked Earth
In a world where every tree, every city, and every heartbeat is wired into a single, global network-what happens when the system starts to think for itself?The Networked Earth is a suspense-driven techno-environmental thriller that explores the collision of society, environment, and technology. When a hyper-connected AI Grid begins to override natural systems and social freedoms in the name of optimization, a rogue group of scientists, engineers, and activists races against time to restore balance before the world tips into irreversible control.From glacier-top data towers to buried ruins beneath flooded cities, the story unfolds across landscapes transformed by technology and tension. As humanity becomes increasingly entangled in a web of smart systems and silent surveillance, ancient instincts clash with cutting-edge intelligence in a high-stakes battle for agency, identity, and survival.Told through the eyes of a defiant data ecologist, a haunted systems engineer, and a fractured society on the brink, The Networked Earth weaves mystery, philosophy, and adrenaline into a gripping tale that asks: if we wired the world to save it, why do we feel more powerless than ever?Perfect for readers who crave tense narratives with deep ideas, this is a journey into the future we're already building-and the one we may still have the power to choose

Circular Economy in the Construction Sector
Since the publication of the Club of Rome's report "The Limits to Growth" in 1972, the urgency to shift towards a non-linear economic model has become increasingly evident. This was further reinforced by the planetary boundaries theory, which underscores the need for innovative production and consumption systems to ensure sustainable resource use. Recently, the concept of a circular economy (CE), popularized by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, has gained international prominence.Despite its alignment with critical public policies such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the European Green Deal, substantial challenges persist in realizing the CE's full potential, particularly in the construction sector. This sector plays a vital economic role while grappling with significant environmental and social issues. Therefore, this reprint, Circular Economy in the Construction Sector, addresses these challenges by exploring CE principles and innovative approaches, aiming to bridge knowledge gaps and promote sustainability in construction practices worldwide.
