Ausgesucht harte Schicksale geben dem Leser einen besonders starken Eindruck aus typischen Perioden kommunistischer Haft. Das totale Ausgeliefertsein unter der Macht der Geheimdienste "TSCHEKA" und MFS ("Stasi") wird durch die fiktiven Gespräche mit Freunden offengelegt. Bisher meist unbekannte erstaunliche Hintergründe treten zu Tage. Persönliche Erlebnisse des Autors aus sechsjähriger Gefangenschaft sind eingebunden. In diesen Zusammenhängen ist das Buch einziartig.
WEINKULTUR IN MÄHREN (1648-1804) Die Dissertation beleuchtet ca. 150 Jahre Weinkultur im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert in der "Markgraphschaft Mähren." Das Land gehörte bis 1804 zu den Erbländern der Habsburger im Heiligen Römischen Reich Deutscher Nation. Herausragend wird durch die Quellenforschung nachgewiesen, dass es trotz der enormen Zerstörungen und großen Verluste nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg gelang, besonders im Zusammenhang mit der Weinkultur einen zwar differenzierten aber stetig steigenden Wohlstand herbeizuführen. Stetiges Wachstum von Weinbau, Weinproduktion, Weinhandel und Weinkonsum wurden zur Ausnahmeerscheinung, die sich wohltuend gegenüber anderen Weinbaugebieten de...
Of all the different areas in computational chemistry, density functional theory (DFT) enjoys the most rapid development. Even at the level of the local density approximation (LDA), which is computationally less demanding, DFT can usually provide better answers than Hartree-Fock formalism for large systems such as clusters and solids. For atoms and molecules, the results from DFT often rival those obtained by ab initio quantum chemistry, partly because larger basis sets can be used. Such encouraging results have in turn stimulated workers to further investigate the formal theory as well as the computational methodology of DFT.This Part II expands on the methodology and applications of DFT. Some of the chapters report on the latest developments (since the publication of Part I in 1995), while others extend the applications to wider range of molecules and their environments. Together, this and other recent review volumes on DFT show that DFT provides an efficient and accurate alternative to traditional quantum chemical methods. Such demonstration should hopefully stimulate frutiful developments in formal theory, better exchange-correlation functionals, and linear scaling methodology.

This edited book examines the multilingual culture of medieval England, exploring its impact on the development of English and its textual manifestations from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The book offers overviews of the state of the art of research and case studies on this subject in (sub)disciplines of linguistics including historical linguistics, onomastics, lexicology and lexicography, sociolinguistics, code-switching and language contact, and also includes contributions from literary and socio-cultural studies, material culture, and palaeography. The authors focus on the variety of languages in use in medieval Britain, including English, Old Norse, Norn, Dutch, Welsh, French, and Latin, making the argument that understanding the impact of medieval multilingualism on the development of English requires multidisiplinarity and the bringing together of different frameworks in linguistics and cultural studies to achieve more nuanced answers. This book will be of interest to academics and students of historical linguistics and medieval textual culture.
Aerosol Science and Technology: History and Reviews captures an exciting slice of history in the evolution of aerosol science. It presents in-depth biographies of four leading international aerosol researchers and highlights pivotal research institutions in New York, Minnesota, and Austria. One collection of chapters reflects on the legacy of the Pasadena smog experiment, while another presents a fascinating overview of military applications and nuclear aerosols. Finally, prominent researchers offer detailed reviews of aerosol measurement, processes, experiments, and technology that changed the face of aerosol science. This volume is the third in a series and is supported by the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) History Working Group, whose goal is to produce archival books from its symposiums on the history of aerosol science to ensure a lasting record. It is based on papers presented at the Third Aerosol History Symposium on September 8 and 9, 2006, in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.
