Water, Wastewater, and Sludge Filtration
A comprehensive and up-to-date account of filtration in solid-liquid separation processes, with a sharp focus on the influence of pro-cess variables on performance and specific applications is pre-sented in this volume. With contribu-tions from researchers with significant industrial experi-ence, as well as by senior academics, this publication fea-tures a deep bed filtration overview with informa-tion on mathematical modeling and application in wastewater treat-ment. Pre-treatment filtration techniques such as cartridge filters, pre-coat filters and micro screening are included. Membrane filtration processes to remove dis-solved and suspended solids for the recovery of valuable ma-terials and the provision of high quality water are covered. Sludge de-watering methods such as centrifuga-tion, and vacuum and pressure filtration are described. Application status data, tables, figures and diagrams are also included. This volume is of special interest to practicing engineers and technolo-gists dealing with treatment problems requiring filtration solu-tions and to graduate students in environmental engineering.
German Migrant Historians in North America
The migration experiences, career paths, and scholarship of historians born in Germany who started emigrating to North America in the 1950s have had a unique impact on the transatlantic practice of Central European History. German Migrant Historians in North America analyzes the experiences of this postwar group of scholars, and asks what informed their education and career choices, and what motivated them to emigrate to North America. The contributors reflect on how these migration experiences informed their own research and teaching, and particularly discuss the more general development of the transatlantic exchange between German and American historians in the scholarship on Modern Central European History.
The Impact of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women on the Domestic Legislation in Egypt
By virtue of ratifying the Women’s Convention, Egypt is internationally obliged to eliminate gender discrimination in its domestic legislation. Yet, women in Egypt face various forms of discrimination. This may legally be justified through Sharia-based reservations, which many Muslim-majority countries enter to human rights treaties to evade an obligation of implementation where Human Rights run counter to Sharia. This book examines the compatibility of Sharia-based reservations with international law and identifies discrepancies between Sharia and domestic law in order to determine rights Egyptian women are entitled to according to Sharia, and yet denied under Egyptian law. Account is moreover given to Egypt’s implementation efforts in the non-reserved areas of law. To this end, Egypt’s 2014 Constitution and four areas of statutory law are examined as case studies, namely, female genital mutilation; human trafficking; nationality; and labor law.

This Is Not a Game
IMAGINE A GAME WITH NO BOUNDARIES - WAITING IN A PARKING LOT, SITTING AT YOUR COMPUTER, WALKING DOWN THE STREET. YOU COULD BE CALLED AT ANY MOMENT - AND YOU'D BETTER BE READY. THIS IS NOT A GAME. THIS IS A NOVEL OF GREED, BETRAYAL, AND SOCIAL NETWORKING.
Blicke auf Schönheit und Alter
Tina Denninger beschäftigt sich aus soziologischer Perspektive mit normativen Anforderungen an den alternden Körper. In diesem Zusammenhang spielen Fragen von Schönheit und Hässlichkeit, Unsichtbarkeit und Sichtbarkeit sowie Anerkennung und Missachtung eine große Rolle. Grundlage für die empirische Untersuchung sind qualitative Interviews mit Männern und Frauen zwischen 50 und 85 Jahren, die mithilfe des Blicks als analytischem Instrument ausgewertet werden. Am Ende steht in jedem Fall die Erkenntnis, dass Schönheit bis ins hohe Alter eine große Rolle spielt. Die Befragten orientieren sich weiterhin stark an hegemonialen Schönheitsidealen von Schlankheit und Jugendlichkeit, wobei sie auch Strategien der Umdeutung ihrer alternden Körper finden: Dennoch sind die Aussagen von einer starken Abwertung des alternden Körpers geprägt.
Perfekte Körper, perfektes Leben?
Selbstoptimierung ist allgegenwärtig: Körper und Gesundheit gelten ebenso wie Beziehungen, Elternschaft und Karriere längst als Bereiche, die von Individuen aktiv gestaltet und verändert werden müssen, um den gesellschaftlichen Schönheits- und Leistungsnormen zu entsprechen. Der Band versammelt Beiträge von Wissenschaftler*innen und Aktivist*innen, welche die vielfältigen und teils widersprüchlichen Facetten des Phänomens Selbstoptimierung aus der Perspektive von Geschlecht und Behinderung ausloten. An Themen wie Reproduktionstechnologien und Mutterschaft oder Körpergestaltung durch Sport und Ernährung diskutieren sie gesellschaftliche Strukturen und Machtverhältnisse innerhalb derer bestimmte Körper und Lebensentwürfe idealisiert oder abgewertet werden.
