The majority of churches in North America today are either plateaued or in decline. Christian values are under siege. Many have concluded that the future of the Church is bleak. But what would happen if Christ came and knocked on the door of your church? Would anything change? Would there be renewed hope? Join the Blackabys as they examine what happened when Christ took control of a little church that was about to die.

A poetry collection infused with the author's experiences as a woman and introvert in America as well as under the influence of punk music and ethos, Beat literature, and rural landscapes. "Distilled" is for everyone.

The novella deals with the resilience of the human spirit. A group of disparate individuals surmount personal hostilities as the survival of the larger group becomes more important than the survival of individual members.

Spontaneous poetry reflecting the nondual nature of existence as it is revealed to the human experience. An expression of the devotion to this nondual wisdom that naturally arises as the sense of separation falls away. Poetry conveying the paradox that is at the Heart of Advaita-- how the One can be devoted to Itself.

Many applications of fluorescence require the sensitive and selective detection of fluorescence near interfaces. Highly surface-confined and efficient fluorescence collection can be achieved by the detection of near-field mediated supercritical angle fluorescence. This approach allows for undercritical angle fluorescence from the far-field to be detected from deeper axial planes separately at the same time. The book covers applications of para...

To guarantee survival in a complex and ever-changing environment, cells dispose of efficient and highly dynamic regulatory circuits that continuously interpret the genetic code in a context-dependent manner. RNA molecules play a central role in the flow of genetic information and are subject to particular scrutiny by a cell's regulatory machinery. They assemble into macromolecular complexes - the so-called ribonucleoprotein particles - which r...

Öffentliche Servicecenter sind in der Lage, ein umfassendes Informationsangebot aus einer Hand anzubieten. Über nur eine zentrale Rufnummer können verschiedenste Informationen öffentlicher Verwaltungen abgefragt und Serviceleistungen in Anspruch genommen werden. So bieten Servicecenter die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Rahmenbedingungen hinsichtlich der Serviceorientierung, Leistungsfähigkeit, Organisation und Effizienz öffentlicher Verwaltungen z...

Insects are presently the most successfull taxon with respect to the number of individuals and species. They are economically as well as ecologically important, as for example honeybees. Insects developed a huge variety of locomotor strategies, the most important ones are walking and flight. Due to their small size, electrophysiology has mostly been done in restrained insects. The development of chronically implantable micro plugs for long-ter...

Since the early 1990s, hallucinogenic drugs, such as psilocybin, have been increasingly used to investigate the neuronal basis of altered states of consciousness and psychosis. Furthermore, renewed interest has emerged in using these drugs as an adjunct to psychotherapy. The present dissertation consists of three empirical studies, all of which were based on the pooled data from Prof. Vollenweider's research group at the University Hospital of...

Das zur Abwasserreinigung eingesetzte Wirbel-Schwebebett-Biofilmverfahren WSB® zeichnet sich durch eine stabile Nitrifikationsleistung auch bei niedrigen Temperaturen von unter 12°C aus. Bisher wurde vermutet, dass aufgrund der Verfahrensführung WSB®-Biofilme eine stabile Schichtdicke besitzen, die den Nitrifikanten eine optimale Retentionszeit verschafft. Da die Nitrifikation in vielen anderen Verfahren oft Schwierigkeiten bereitet, wurde der...

Many of the everyday activities and information needs of mobile users are related to context. Recent studies, however, reveal that mobile users find their information needs inadequately addressed by current mobile ICT. This book describes an infrastructure for the selective replication of RDF data to mobile devices while considering current and future information needs of mobile users and the different contexts they are operating in. It discus...

Abgestempelt" (German for 'Labeled') explores the possibility that discriminations towards people with disabilities may have originated in ancient religious norms that largely dictated societal conventions. As a starting point, this book examines the relationship between religion and people with disabilities in the Hebrew Bible and contemporary Ancient Near Eastern literature, such as Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts.

In our everyday lives, many decisions are made based on different maps and under different time pressure situations. Some map-based decisions under time pressure can even decide over life and death. Hence, it is important to understand how different time constraints and map types influence the quality of map-based decisions, and which role the characteristics of the decision-makers play in this context. While several empirical map use studies ...

Many people experience a traumatic event at least once in their lifetime. But only a fraction of those traumatized and in need of mental health care receive psychosocial care or treatment. This may be due to barriers people experience within the help-seeking process. The individual help-seeking process is consequently highly relevant for any mental health care for trauma survivors. Understanding why people refrain from asking for help or delay...

Die Rolle der Matrix-Metalloproteinasen (MMPs) in der Inflammation als wichtige Modulatoren der Entzündungsreaktion wird zunehmend erkannt. Durch Umbau der extrazellulären Matrix aber auch durch den direkten Abbau von aktiven Molekülen, können die MMPs die Immunreaktion in die eine oder andere Richtung umleiten. In dieser Arbeit zeigt MMP-2 eine wichtige immunmodulatorische protektive Rolle in der Coxsackievirus B3-Myokarditis, indem sie zum A...

This book considers the OPTCON2 algorithm which delivers numerical solutions to optimum control problems with a quadratic objective function for nonlinear dynamic econometric models with additive and multiplicative (parameter) uncertainties. The algorithm was programmed in C# and allows for deterministic and stochastic control, the latter with open-loop and passive learning (open-loop feedback) information patterns. The applicability of the al...

Transcrestal elevation of the maxillary sinus membrane provides a minimally invasive treatment option to augment bone volume for dental implant placement in the edentulous posterior maxilla. The present thesis details on surgical as well as preoperative planning procedures of an innovative technique to elevate the sinus membrane using gel pressure. The influence of internal sinus anatomy and biomechanical properties of the maxillary sinus memb...
