The Age of Uncertainty
The epic, page-turning history of how a group of physicists toppled the Newtonian universe in the early decades of the twentieth century. Marie Curie, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Ernst Schrödinger, and Albert Einstein didn't only revolutionise physics; they redefined our world and the reality we live in. In The Age of Uncertainty, Tobias Hürter brings to life the golden age of physics and its dazzling, flawed, and unforgettable heroes and heroines. The work of the twentieth century's most important physicists produced scientific breakthroughs that led to an entirely new view of physics -- and a view of the universe that is still not fully understood today, even as evidence...
Architecture of Computing Systems – ARCS 2020
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 33rd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS 2020, held in Aachen, Germany, in May 2020.* The 12 full papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. 6 workshop papers are also included. ARCS has always been a conference attracting leading-edge research outcomes in Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, including a wide spectrum of topics ranging from embedded and real-time systems all the way to large-scale and parallel systems. The selected papers focus on concepts and tools for incorporating self-adaptation and self-organization mechanisms in high-performance computing systems. This includes upcoming approaches for runtime modifications at various abstraction levels, ranging from hardware changes to goal changes and their impact on architectures, technologies, and languages. *The conference was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Quantification of Biophysical Parameters in Medical Imaging
This book provides a selection of essential knowledge on the image-based quantification of biophysical parameters for the purpose of clinical diagnosis. The authors regard clinical imaging scanners as physical measurement systems capable of quantifying intrinsic parameters for depiction of the constitution and biophysical properties of in vivo tissue. On the one hand, this approach supports the development of new methods of imaging highly reproducible, system-independent, and quantitative biomarkers, and these methods receive detailed attention in the book. On the other hand, the reader will also gain a deeper understanding of how physical tissue properties interact with the generation of signals in medical imaging, opening new windows on the intricate and fascinating relationship between the structure and function of living tissues. The book will be of interest to all who recognize the limitations of basing clinical diagnosis primarily on visual inspection of images and who wish to learn more about the diagnostic potential of quantitative and biophysics-based medical imaging markers and the challenges that the paucity of such markers poses for next-generation imaging technologies.
The French Wars of Religion, 1562-1629
This is the 2005 second edition of a comprehensive study of the French wars of religion.
The People's Game
From star players to rioting fans, The People's Game examines how football shaped the history of communist East Germany.
Eisenman Architects
In both these respects, Peter Eisenman differs not only from other architechts of his own generation, but from nearly all other architects working today.
The Oxford Handbook of Regulation
Regulation is often thought of as an activity that restricts behaviour and prevents the occurrence of certain undesirable activities, but the influence of regulation can also be enabling or facilitative, as when a market could potentially be chaotic if uncontrolled. This Handbook provides a clear and authoritative discussion of the major trends and issues in regulation over the last thirty years, together with an outline of prospective developments. It brings together contributions from leading scholars from a range of disciplines and countries. Each chapter offers a broad overview of key current issues and provides an analysis of different perspectives on those issues. Experiences in differ...
Wir, Ritter der Ehrenrunde
Iris Berben, Roger Willemsen, Reinhold Beckmann und viele andere berichten von der einschneidenden Erfahrung, in der Schule ein- oder mehrere Male sitzengeblieben zu sein. Beim einen war es schlicht die eigene Faulheit, bei der anderen die Verliebtheit in den Lateinlehrer, die auf Versetzung ohne gelernt zu haben hoffen ließ. Die Gründe für das Nicht-Erreichen des Klassenziels sind vielfältig, die Auswirkung auf den weiteren Lebenslauf jedoch mitnichten nachteilig. Vielmehr führte das Sitzenbleiben, das mit Scham als Scheitern wahrgenommen wurde, später in den meisten Fällen zu Eigenschaften wie Entschlossenheit, Ehrgeiz und schließlich zu Erfolg. Eine Sammlung ehrlicher Bekenntnisse von prominenten Persönlichkeiten – spannend zu lesen für alle Sitzenbleiber, Fast-Sitzenbleiber und alle Eltern, die sich vor dem blauen Brief fürchten. „Die Jugend ist die beste Zeit, die man haben kann. Man darf, ja man soll auch auf die Schnauze fallen, das gehört dazu.“ Iris Berben Für alle Eltern, die sich vorm blauen Brief fürchten Beiträge von Roger Willemsen, Iris Berben, Reinhold Beckmann und vielen anderen
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
West Germany and the Global Sixties
The anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was a watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against cultural conformity and the ideological imperatives of the Cold War, against the American war in Vietnam, and in favor of a more open accounting for the crimes of the Nazi era - helped to inspire a dialogue on democratization with profound effects on German society. Timothy Scott Brown examines the unique synthesis of globalizing influences on West Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students, imported pop culture from America and England, and the influence of new political doctrines worldwide all helped to precipitate the revolt. The book explains how the events in West Germany grew out of a new interplay of radical politics and popular culture, even as they drew on principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and self-determination, all still highly relevant in the present day.
