Vaughan und Zeichnerin Fiona Staples hat in den Jahren 2013 und 2014 eigentlich alles abgeräumt, was ein Comic an Preisen von Rang und Namen abräumen kann: Eisner-Award, Harvey-Award, Hugo-Award ... Muss man wirklich noch etwas sagen zu diesem modernen Klassiker der Comicliteratur?! Ja, absolut! Denn auch in dieser Ecke des Universums gilt: The show must go on! Davon kann besonders Alana ein Lied singen...

From tenements to alleyways to latrines, twentieth-century American cities created spaces where pests flourished and people struggled for healthy living conditions. In Pests in the City, Dawn Day Biehler argues that the urban ecologies that supported pests were shaped not only by the physical features of cities but also by social inequalities, housing policies, and ideas about domestic space. Community activists and social reformers strived to...

In dieser Arbeit werden verschiedene Verfahren zur Skalierung der akustischen Synthese für konkatenative Sprachsynthesesysteme untersucht, umgesetzt und evaluiert.

Voraussetzungen für die akustische Synthese mit sehr kleinen Inventaren sind die Parametrisierung des Sprachsignals im Sinne eines Quelle-Filter-Modell...

Lukas und die Lok" ist ein lustiges Buch für Kinder ab 6 Jahren. Es erzählt - stellvertretend für so vieles in unserer heutigen Zeit - von einem kleine Jungen der noch nie eine Dampflokomotive gesehen hat. Sein Großvater bergibt sich mit ihm auf die Suche. Es dauert sehr lange bis sie sich endlich den Traum erfüllen können und sogar mit einem richtig alten Zug fahren können. Im Sinne des Zitates von Richard von Weizsäcker: "Wer aber vor der Ve...

Grafik ist immer eine Vervielfältigung. Auch wenn es nur ein Exemplar davon gibt, so könnten mehrere davon gemacht werden oder könnte es gegeben haben. Es dauerte nur unterschiedlich lange Zeit sie herzustellen. Von den mühsam in Holzplatten geschnittenen, auf Papier abgeriebenen und handkolorierten Einblattdrucken des 15. Jahrhunderts bis zu unseren in Sekundenschnelle hergestellten Farb-Kopien auf dem Bürodrucker. Vorher waren Bilder auf Ki...

Das Kreuz ist Zeichen unterschiedlichster Empfindungen: Es spiegelt tiefe Trauer und Verzweiflung wider, zugleich aber auch Hoffnung, Zuversicht und Trost bis hin zu freudigem Jubel über das Wunder der Auferstehung. Dieser so breiten Vielfalt nähert sich der Wiener Kammerchor unter der Leitung von Michael Grohotolsky in seiner neuen CD O crux auf faszinierende Weise: Ausgesprochen feinfühlig interpretiert, spannt er mit österlicher Chormusik e...

Early childhood education has always been a passion of mine. The choices parents make regarding their child(ren)'s earliest educational experiences can have such a huge impact on subsequent growth and development. Unfortunately, not all early childhood education programs are committed to serving each child's highest good. Still others may have the commitment, but lack the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out their mission. It is imperat...

A lot of what we know about "exotic languages" is owed to the linguistic activities of missionaries. They had the languages put into writing, described their grammar and lexicon, and worked towards a standardization, which often came with Eurocentric manipulation. Colonial missionary work as intellectual (religious) conquest formed part of the Europeans' political colonial rule, although it sometimes went against the specific objectives of the...

They share many similar histopathologic features with other non -fibro-osseous disease processes that develop within the jawbones. Thus a definitive diagnosis of fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) requires a correlation of the histological features with the clini...
