This book continues the biannual series of conference proceedings, which has become a classical reference resource in traffic and granular research alike, and addresses the latest developments at the intersection of physics, engineering and computational science. These involve complex systems, in which multiple simple agents, be they vehicles or particles, give rise to surprising and fascinating phenomena. The contributions collected in these proceedings cover several research fields, all of which deal with transport. Topics include highway, pedestrian and internet traffic; granular matter; biological transport; transport networks; data acquisition; data analysis and technological applications. Different perspectives, i.e., modeling, simulations, experiments, and phenomenological observations are considered.
Although there were a number of women writers of the late Middle Ages, it was not thought that women composed lyric poetry. Classen's investigation, however, proves this to be a misconception, and presents a selection of secular love songs and religious hymns composed by 15th- and 16th-century German women poets.
This thesis presents the foundations, the initial state, and the progress made in modelling and implementing a real-world and real-time online microscopic traffic simulation system for highway traffic. To successfully model and implement such a simulation system, this thesis recommends the use of a number of formal methods applied at the right places. As part of the recommendation, this thesis proposes a microscopic traffic simulation system. To explore the feasibility and the potential of the recommended methods, it observes and examines the proposed system from multiple views and under various different aspects. As part of the examination, this thesis provides a (semi-)formal specification...
English summary: Jan Ballweg deals with the ecclesiological debates in the early 14th century and their implications for church reform at the Council of Vienne and under Popes John XXII and Benedict XII. He describes the concepts of conciliarism, episcopalism and papalism and tries to show the impact of intellectual history (political theory, canon law, law of the monastic orders) on church history in general. One of the main purposes of the book is to analyze the reformatory efforts of Pope Benedict XII. German description: Jan Ballweg untersucht die Reformfahigkeit von Kirche und Ordenswesen im fruhen 14. Jahrhundert. Wahrend das Avignoneser Papsttum eine spirituell gespeiste Kirchenreform...
»Rhetorik« als ein komplexes System, das verschiedene Wissensbestände integriert, war schon in der Vormoderne sowohl Teil der akademischen Grundlagenbildung als auch Objekt philosophischer Reflexion. Folglich ist ihre Erforschung seit jeher Bestandteil der Mittelalter- und Renaissancestudien. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes, der die Ergebnisse einer interdisziplinären Tagung des Zentrums für Mittelalter- und Renaissancestudien der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München enthält, nehmen ein breites Spektrum rhetorischer Konzepte und Praktiken vom Frühmittelalter bis in die Reformationszeit in den Blick. Dabei knüpfen sie an etablierte Fragestellungen der Kultur-, Literatur- und Sprachgeschichte an und befragen die theoretischen, literarischen und oratorischen Texte auch im Hinblick auf Konstruktionen kultureller und religiöser Diversität. Sie entwickeln so eine neue Perspektive auf die historische Rhetorikforschung
