Coryphantha
This unique reference work presents the first comprehensive taxonomy of Coryphantha, with a complete key to the genus. It contains a new taxonomic classification of all 43 species and 11 subspecies, with morphological and ecological descriptions of these cacti, which grow in Mexico and the South of the USA. The work comes after many years of the authors commitment to cacti. During their ongoing work to map out the nomenclatural of this genus, the authors even discovered some new plants. More than 300 high-quality colour photos showing the various cacti and their habitats as well as distribution cards and illustrations explaining the morphological details complement the text. Written in an easy-to-follow style and with a chapter on cultivation conditions, the work will not only be an invaluable reference manual for taxonomists and horticulturalists but also for hobbyists and plant collectors.
THE GREAT HOAX
RADICAL ISLAM [IRAN] VERSUS THE WEST James Wossley, former CIA Director: “America is at war with a theological, totalitarian regime.” Journalist Brigitte Gabriel: “They [terrorists] are here.” John Hagee, senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas: “The coming Nuclear Countdown between Iran and Israel.” President Ahmadinejad of Iran: ‘Wipe Israel off the map.” There is justified “Angst” in western and western oriented nations that Iran may develop an atom bomb and use it against Israel. With Israel avoiding destruction by resorting to a “First Strike”, or retaliating and nuke Iran, the world may become involved in World War III. However, while the West must consider such a possibility, of more immediate danger is the real problem that Islamic terrorists may acquire nuclear bombs. This fictional novel describes such a scenario. Three atom bombs are stolen from a plant in Kazakhstan and sold to terrorists. Targets are Moscow, Washington and Tel Aviv.
Mechanics and Model-Based Control of Smart Materials and Structures
Mechanics and model-based control are both rapidly expanding scientific fields and fundamental disciplines of mechatronics, sharing demanding mathematical and system-theoretic formulations and methods. The papers in this volume deal with smart materials, which allow the design and implementation of new types of actuator/sensor fields and networks. Main topics treated are fundamental studies on laminated, composite and functionally graded materials, thermal and piezoelectric actuation, active and passive damping, as well as vibrations and waves in smart structures. The book is based on the 1st Japanese-Austrian Workshop which took place in Linz in Fall 2008.
Mechanics and Model-Based Control of Advanced Engineering Systems
Mechanics and Model-Based Control of Advanced Engineering Systems collects 32 contributions presented at the International Workshop on Advanced Dynamics and Model Based Control of Structures and Machines, which took place in St. Petersburg, Russia in July 2012. The workshop continued a series of international workshops, which started with a Japan-Austria Joint Workshop on Mechanics and Model Based Control of Smart Materials and Structures and a Russia-Austria Joint Workshop on Advanced Dynamics and Model Based Control of Structures and Machines. In the present volume, 10 full-length papers based on presentations from Russia, 9 from Austria, 8 from Japan, 3 from Italy, one from Germany and one from Taiwan are included, which represent the state of the art in the field of mechanics and model based control, with particular emphasis on the application of advanced structures and machines.
Beyond Art: A Third Culture
A new theory of culture presented with a new method achieved by comparing closely the art and science in 20th century Austria and Hungary. Major achievements that have influenced the world like psychoanalysis, abstract art, quantum physics, Gestalt psychology, formal languages, vision theories, and the game theory etc. originated from these countries, and influence the world still today as a result of exile nurtured in the US. A source book with numerous photographs, images and diagrams, it opens up a nearly infinite horizon of knowledge that helps one to understand what is going on in today’s worlds of art and science.
World Tribunal
Al-Qaeda, Taliban, fanatical Islamists, war criminals, psychopaths, drug cartels--hostis humani generis-- enemies of all mankind. the outlawing of these evils is jus cogens, Latin for "compelling law." Jurisdiction is universal, considered erga omnes, an obligation owing to all mankind. Combating the enemies of all mankind are the FBI, Mexican Federalis, Europol, Scotland Yard, and Bka (Bundeskriminalamt--the German FBI). In this fictional historical novel, the Force of Three and you become accusers, judges, and eliminators of such evil.
History of Carniola Volume Iv
If you would like to know the names of the royalty and learn about their castles and their holdings, you will find the information in Volume IV annotated primarily from Valvosar's writings. Fascinating facts abound including the rise and then the suppression of the Jesuits. Empress Maria Theresa accedes to the throne of the Habsburg monarchy and brings about needed changes in education, agriculture, land reform, and roads to name a few. To increase the welfare of the state, she liberated farmers from serfdom, from the pressures of statutory labor, and from urbarial taxes. The invasion of Napoleon occurred in 1797. The reforms he brought to Slovenia were long lasting.
