Falsified Antiquity
Art historian Dr. Illig recognized, that 297 years between 614 and 911 AD - in Europe - are invented. An error occurred when the calendar was changed in 1582. That would mean: Charlesmagne never existed. I thought years 500 - 800 AD were illogical. Is the following correct? If you push back the dates of early Islam 297 years, then Roman Empire was destroyed in a different way. The possible establishment of Islam in 325 AD may have been covered up in order to save Constantine's honor and win Vikings and Russians to Christianity. Was March 1st in 130 BC the beginning of spring? Attalos is coded in the Hatto window in Mainz: SAL HATTHO. 2 Trapezoids (Rome, Langres, Fulda, 33 Roman Leagues) connect Hatto in the 10th with Attalus in 6th centuries.
Portraits of Empires
"In the late 16th century, hundreds of travelers made their way to the Habsburg ambassador's residence, known as the German House, in Constantinople. In this centrally located inn, subjects of the emperor found food, wine, shelter, and good company-and left an incredible collection of albums filled with images, messages, decorated papers, and more. Portraits of Empires offers a complete account of this early form of social media, which had a profound impact on later European iconography. Revealing a vibrant transimperial culture as viewed from all walks of life-Muslim and Christian, noble and servant, scholar and stable boy-the pocket-sized albums containing these curiosities have never been...
Fake
Throughout history, forgers have attempted to fabricate documents to manipulate the historical record. The book explores the most egregious cases--their intent, effectiveness, exposure and significance--from the Donation of Constantine to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to the Hitler Diaries. Ironically, forgeries have helped advance the discipline of history. Case studies trace how scholars worked to reveal the truth behind bogus manuscripts while developing new tools and standards for accuracy and authenticity. In the age of "fake news" and digital editing software, the spectacular history of fraud in print has never been more relevant.
Waste-Site Stories
Ours is a wasteful society, consumed with care for its remains, according to the contributors of Waste-Site Stories. Here scholars from around the world probe current notions of waste and the ways in which remains of different kinds recover value in the act of recollection and recycling. In the wake of destructive experiences that continue to trouble memory, there is something compelling about today's theoretical and artistic interest in waste and recycling. The two terms provide a purchase on changing conditions of cultural memory, on technological development and its sometimes toxic ecological and social fallout, and on the legacy of personal and historical trauma. They suggest new resources for the stories of our engagement with the things of the past and the sites where traces of history survive.
A New Perspective on Memorization in Recurrent Networks of Spiking Neurons
This thesis studies the capability of spiking recurrent neural network models to memorize dynamical pulse patterns (or firing signals). In the first part, discrete-time firing signals (or firing sequences) are considered. A recurrent network model, consisting of neurons with bounded disturbance, is introduced to analyze (simple) local learning. Two modes of learning/memorization are considered: The first mode is strictly online, with a single pass through the data, while the second mode uses multiple passes through the data. In both modes, the learning is strictly local (quasi-Hebbian): At any given time step, only the weights between the neurons firing (or supposed to be firing) at the prev...
Toward the Century of Words
In the decades between the French Revolution and the first stirrings of liberalism in the 1830s, German political culture defined itself apart from that of its neighbors to the west. Focusing on the career of Johann Cotta, the preeminent publisher of his generation, this book offers a lens through which we can more fully view and understand these turbulent years. Cotta is a familiar figure in the history of German letters, but his public life has never been studied comprehensively. He financed and directed the Allgemeine Zeitung of Augsburg, which would become one of the great European newspapers of the nineteenth century. He was the first German to convert money and cultural prestige into p...
On the Improvement of Combustion Engines with Waste Heat Recovery Systems in Mobile Applications
This dissertation deals with the experimental and simulative investigation of waste heat recovery from combustion engine exhaust gas in passenger car applications. The focus of the investigations lies on the thermodynamic cycle according to Rankine. The boundary conditions of combustion engines and the limitations of an automobile cause new operating conditions and system operating parameters for Rankine-systems, which will be discussed within this work. The system operating parameters were judged based on their potential to improve the efficiency of a running system, by setting the optimal values for each individual situation. Alternative circuit variants were investigated alongside of the ...
A Foundation in Digital Communication
A fully updated introductory text that derives the key results of digital communication from first principles.
Business Wargaming
Industry consolidation, mergers, changes to business models, the emergence of new threats all require managers to understand highly complex situations, assess risk and opportunity and make informed decisions. How can senior managers do this effectively when so often they are wrestling with brand new scenarios? One of the emerging solutions is business wargaming. Daniel F. Oriesek and Jan Oliver Schwarz provide the first comprehensive look at wargaming as a business tool in a book that explores the anatomy and success factors of a typical wargame. The authors explain how and when wargaming can be used to test strategies, plan and prepare for crises, manage change or increase your organization...
History Hacking
History analyst and author Mario Arndt writes about topics you won't find in traditional history books. His analyses of official history reveal how the Middle Ages, the ancient world, and the associated chronologies were fabricated and forged. This is a book like no other! Hack #0: History Hacking - Anything goes Hack #1: The made-up lists of kings in the Middle Ages Hack #2: The made-up chronology of antiquity Hack #3: The numerical code of the Bible in history Hack #4: The 800-year cycle in history Hack #5: Charlemagne - the made-up Emperor Hack #6: Augustus - the made-up first Roman Emperor Hack #7: The new dating of the astronomical reports of antiquity Hack #8: Jesus Christ on the imperial throne Hack #9: The made-up list of popes Hack #10: An new chronology of the history of mankind This book is so intelligent and entertaining at the same time that it is a must read.
