The international workshop on conservation of East Asian cabinets in imperial residences (1700–1900) marked the starting point for the FWF-funded research project on the East Asian cabinets in Schönbrunn palace. The workshop facilitated the exchange of knowledge and experience between international conservators, art historians and related experts in the fields of Asian and European lacquerware and porcelain.
This book describes the properties of single polymer molecules and polymeric materials and the methods how to characterize them. Molar masses, molar mass distributions and branching structure are discussed in detail. These properties are decisive for a deeper understanding of structure/properties relationships of polymeric materials. This book therefore describes and discusses them in detail. The mechanical behavior as a function of time and temperature is a key subject of the book. The authors present it on the basis of many original results they have obtained in their long research careers. They present the temperature dependence of mechanical properties of various polymeric materials in a...
Von der Pietas Austriaca über die Spiritualität geistlicher Ritterorden bis hin zur Erinnerungsarbeit an die Shoah und die nationalsozialistischen Menschheitsverbrechen reichen die wissenschaftlichen Interessen und das kulturelle Engagement von Wolfgang J. Bandion. Die vier Kardinaltugenden Sapientia, Temperantia, Fortitudo und Iustitia bilden einen Leitfaden für die Beiträge seiner Freunde und Weggefährten aus Kirche, Politik, Kunst und Wissenschaft. So wird diese, das Wirken Wolfgang J. Bandions reflektierende, Festschrift zu einer intellektuellen Zwischenbilanz aus Anlass seines 70. Geburtstags.
Der Malteserorden 1000 Jahre europäische Geschichte zwischen Orient und Okzident Der Malteserorden ist mit einer Geschichte von fast 1000 Jahren die älteste humanitäre Organisation der Welt. In Laufe seiner Geschichte entwickelte er sich von einer frommen Hospitalbruderschaft in Jerusalem zu einem geistlichen Orden der katholischen Kirche, der heute vor allem im Bereich der Krankenpflege rund um den Erdball eindrucksvoll tätig ist. In diesem Buch werden die wesentlichen Stationen in der Geschichte des Ordens mit großer Fachkompetenz erzählt und in einen gesamteuropäischen Kontext gestellt. Zahlreiche bisher kaum zugängliche Dokumente und Fotos lassen ein wichtiges Stück katholischer Ordensgeschichte lebendig werden.

The Memory Factory introduces an English-speaking public to the significant women artists of Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century, each chosen for her aesthetic innovations and participation in public exhibitions. These women played important public roles as exhibiting artists, both individually and in collectives, but this history has been silenced over time. Their stories show that the city of Vienna was contradictory and cosmopolitan: despite men-only policies in its main art institutions, it offered a myriad of unexpected ways for women artists to forge successful public careers. Women artists came from the provinces, Russia, and Germany to participate in its vibrant art scene. Ho...
For a long time, the tight junction (TJ) was known to form and regulate the paracellular barrier between epithelia and endothelial cell sheets. Starting shortly after the discovery of the proteins forming the TJ—mainly the two families of claudins and TAMPs—several other functions have been discovered, a striking one being the surprising finding that some claudins form paracellular channels for small ions and/or water. This Special Issue includes 43 articles covering numerous dedicated topics including pathogens affecting the TJ barrier, TJ regulation via immune cells, the TJ as a therapeutic target, TJ and cell polarity, function and regulation by proteins of the tricellular TJ, TJ as a regulator of cellular processes, organ- and tissue-specific functions, TJ as sensors and reacting to environmental conditions, and last but not least, TJ proteins and cancer.
The intention of this book is to provide a comprehensive and contemporary review of the biology of sensory nerves. The book is unique, as it comprehensively covers the role of sensory nerves across many therapeutic areas.
