Abstract

s International Perspectives: Integration and Inclusion provides a birds'-eye view at the complex and often contentious world of immigrant integration policies and practices. The book is divided in two main sections and thirteen chapters offering a range of case studies on integration policies and programs in traditional and more recent immigrant-receiving countries across Europe, North America, the Asian Pacific region and Israel. Its main objective is to shed light on different national governments' experiences in developing and implementing policies to integrate immigrants in the economic, cultural, and socio-political life of the nations in which they reside.The book's breadth is remarkable, presenting an overview of the historical context of immigration, governmental approaches to integration and inclusion, assessment of policies and programs, best practices and future challenges faced in eleven countries:

Impact of Contact Pressure Cycling on Non-Woven GDLs of HT-PEM Fuel Cells

“…An extensive image processing called reconstruction of these two dimensional X-ray radiographs provides three-dimensional images from the object under investigation. A detailed description of the µ-CT system can be found here (10).…”

Impact of Load Cycling at High Current Densities on the Degradation Behavior of Membrane-Electrode-Assemblies

“…A vast image processing (called reconstruction) is required in order to obtain the three-dimensional images from the object under investigation. A detailed description of the µ-CT system can be found in (11).…”
