Cassandra Thorn ist hoch erfreut, als ihr alter Freund Kamil Wetzlav seinen Besuch ankündigt. Doch noch bevor er Chicago erreicht, stürzt das Flugzeug des Diplomaten ab. Eine Kanzlei kontaktiert die elitäre Dame und bestellt sie nach Berlin. Sie willigt ein, allerdings birgt Wetzlavs Testament böse Überraschungen. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Begleiter Omed, den Thorn einst aus dem Logartal mit nach Chicago nahm, führt sie ihre Reise umgeben von den Wirren des tobenden Krieges in den Nahen Osten. Mit Serdar Ahmed Schah, einem Kriegsfürsten der Mudschaheddin, holt sie ihre Vergangenheit ein. Plötzlich ist nichts mehr wie es scheint. Klar abgesteckte Grenzen verschwimmen, bis Freund und Feind nicht mehr zu unterscheiden sind.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 18th North American Mine Ventilation Symposium held, on a virtual platform, June 12-17, 2021. This symposium was organized by South Dakota Mines, Rapid City, South Dakota, in collaboration with the Underground Ventilation Committee (UVC) of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME). The Mine Ventilation Symposium series has always been a premier forum for ventilation experts, practitioners, educators, students, regulators, and manufacturers from around the world to exchange knowledge, ideas, and opinions. This volume features fifty-seven selected technical papers in a wide range of topics including: auxiliary ventilation, case studies ...
Focusing on heat transfer in porous media, this book covers recent advances in nano and macro’ scales. Apart from introducing heat flux bifurcation and splitting within porous media, it highlights two-phase flow, nanofluids, wicking, and convection in bi-disperse porous media. New methods in modeling heat and transport in porous media, such as pore-scale analysis and Lattice–Boltzmann methods, are introduced. The book covers related engineering applications, such as enhanced geothermal systems, porous burners, solar systems, transpiration cooling in aerospace, heat transfer enhancement and electronic cooling, drying and soil evaporation, foam heat exchangers, and polymer-electrolyte fuel cells.
Practical Aspects of Electroorganic Synthesis presents educational insights into the practical aspects of electrosynthesis methods, providing a variety of examples and techniques. The book covers concepts referred to as "green chemistry" and "sustainable technology." Sections cover direct electrolysis, anodic oxidation, cathodic reduction, mechanistic studies (cyclic voltammetry), and how to set-up electrochemical experiments. Indirect electrolysis is also covered, including an exploration of catalysts and additives to take on modern electrochemical methods. Finally, the book explores the burgeoning new field of paired electrolysis, in which the ultimate green-synthesis applications are poss...
An award-winning journalist overturns western stereotypes as he takes readers as he takes readers .outside the wire. of the war in Afghanistan and introduces the people whose defiant courage offers hope for the future. Far from the Taliban's grim desert strongholds, the country we visit with Terry Glavin is a surprisingly welcoming place, hidden away in alleys and narrow streets that bustle with blacksmiths, gem hawkers and spice merchants. This is the unseen Afghanistan, reawakening from decades of savagery and bloodletting. Glavin shows us how events have unfolded in Afghanistan since September 11, 2001. Travelling with fluent interpreters and Afghan human rights activists, Glavin meets pe...
