In 2000, the European Union promoted a campaign against domestic violence, adopting the slogan "Break the silence." Today, there is a greater awareness of the frequency and consequences of domestic violence, rape, harassment at work, and child sexual abuse. However, as this book highlights, there is still cause for concern. Violence against women and children is still hidden by society, but in different ways, and the strategies and tactics by ...

Karl Jaspers is one of the most misunderstood twentieth century philosophers, yet his philosophical ideas are relevant to our contemporary existence and our understanding of human finitude and in particular and most specifically, death.Filiz Peach provides us with a clear explanation of Jaspers' philosophy of existence and seeks to clarify his views on death and 'deathlessness' in relation to the human being. For Jaspers, a human being is not ...

The ethical question is the question of our times. Within critical theory, it has focused on the act of reading. This study reverses the terms of inquiry to analyse the ethical composition of the act of writing. What responsibility does an author bear for his legacy? Do 'catastrophic' misreadings of authors (e.g. Plato, Marx, Nietzsche) testify to authorial recklessness? These and other questions are the starting-point for the development of a...

James D. Watson looks back on his extraordinary career - from its beginnings as a schoolboy in Chicago's South Side to the day he left Harvard 50 years later, world-renowned as the co-discoverer of DNA - and considers the lessons he has learnt along the way. The result is both an engaging memoir and an insightful compendium of lessons in life.

Sie wollen studieren, aber was? Physik hat schlechte Karten - ein langes, schwieriges Studium, schlechte Berufsaussichten und geringes Gehalt, denken Sie. Mit der Realität auf dem Arbeitsmarkt haben diese Vorurteile wenig zu tun: Dass Physiker nicht ständig im Labor stehen oder gerade eine geniale Idee ausbrüten, hat sich kaum herumgesprochen. Dabei arbeiten sie nach dem Studium in Banken und Versicherungen, als Forschungsmanager und Patentanw...

The book gives an impressive description of current experiments. Despite of the high density of information, the authors succeeded to describe the fundamental concepts and methods. As it contains numerous references and links, this book also forms a solid starting point for further studies." Quoted from Physik Journal on the first edition New to this edition - Working with single Photons - Report on progress in the trapping and manipulation o...

Addressing a common challenge that is faced by every drug developer, this practice-oriented handbook surveys current knowledge on the occurrence and prevention of adverse drug reactions related to off-target activity of small molecule drugs. It is unique in collating the current approaches into a single source, and includes several highly instructive case studies that may be used as guidelines on how to improve drug development projects. Clear...

This book describes the fascinating wealth of activities as they occur in the design, construction and commissioning of a chemical plant - a jigsaw puzzle of the work of chemical engineers, chemists, constructors, architects, electrical engineers, process automation engineers, economists and legal staff. The author first takes the reader through the conceptual phase, in which the economic relevance and environmental impact need to be considere...

Based on results previously restricted for military use and inaccessible to the public, this practice-oriented handbook introduces the use of enzymes for fast and efficient decontamination of B/C weapons in various scenarios, including terrorist attacks. It draws on the internationally recognized technological leadership of the German armed forces, whose anti-B/C technology is among the most advanced worldwide. The text is rounded off with a l...

Borne out of twentieth-century science and technology, the field of RF (radio frequency) linear accelerators has made significant contributions to basic research, energy, medicine, and national defense. As we advance into the twenty-first century, the linac field has been undergoing rapid development as the demand for its many applications, emphasizing high-energy, high-intensity, and high-brightness output beams, continues to grow. RF Linear ...

Cellular (foam-like) and porous materials are employed in a wide range of applications including heat and mass transfer where the thermal properties determine the efficiency. Combining different physical properties, e.g., high mechanical damping together with heat insulation and relatively high specific stiffness, offers the possibility for numerous new future-oriented applications in the automotive, aerospace and other industries. Providing ...

Written by an experienced practitioner and teacher, this concise and comprehensive treatment on particulate flow covers both the theory as well as applications and examples from the oil and chemical industry. Following a look at the basic concepts of probability theory, the author goes on to examine the elements of microhydrodynamics, Brownian motion, and real liquids in turbulent flow. For lecturers in physics, theoretical physicists and chem...

In this first book dedicated to the logistics of chemical plants and production processes, authors from academia and industry -- such as Bayer, Degussa, Merck -- provide an overview of the field, incorporating the knowledge and experience gathered over the last 10 years. In so doing, they describe the latest ideas on efficient design, illustrating when to produce which part of the equipment and with which resources, so as to optimize chemical ...

Mit den Mitteln der klassischen Physik ist der Tunneleffekt nicht erklärbar. Deshalb bedient sich die Natur eines Tricks aus der Quantenmechanik: Teilchen, die keine ausreichende Energie besitzen, eine Barriere zu überwinden, "durchtunneln" diese einfach. Auf diesem Prinzip basiert sowohl der radioaktive Kernzerfall, die wärmespendende Kernverschmelzung in der Sonne und viele weitere Phänomene der Physik. Experimentelle Untersuchungen zeigten...

Here, the world's most active and productive computational scientists from academia and industry present established, effective and powerful tools for understanding catalysts. With its broad scope -- nitrogen fixation, polymerization, C-H bond activation, oxidations, biocatalysis and much more -- this book represents an extensive knowledge base for designing efficient catalysts, allowing readers to improve the performance of their own catalysts.

This book is a riveting investigation of what it means to love music and what it means to hate music, both of good taste and bad taste. >
