This book discusses a novel and high-rate-capable micro pattern gaseous detector of the Micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GAS detector) type. It provides a detailed characterization of the performance of Micromegas detectors on the basis of measurements and simulations, along with an in-depth examination of analysis and reconstruction methods. The accurate and efficient detection of minimum ionizing particles in high-rate background environments is demonstrated. The excellent performance determined here for these lightweight detectors will make possible the live medical imaging of a patient during ion-beam treatment.
This is the first book in either English or German to analyse the development of Germany's newest political party, the Left Party. It compares and contrasts the party's development with that of Germany's most well-known outsider party - the Greens. It also analyses the party's performance in office in two eastern German Länder.

This book tells the story of the German Democratic Republic from “the inside out,” using the lens of generational change to deconstruct an intriguing array of social identities that had little to do with the “official GDR” version authoritarian rulers regularly sought to impose on their citizens. The author compares the “identities” of five societal subgroups (GDR writers and intellectuals; pastors and dissidents; women; youth; and working-class men), exploring the policies defining their lives and status before/during/after the 1989 Wende, as well as the diverging “exit, voice and loyalty” dilemmas encountered by each. The “dialectical” components treated in this work ce...

More than 750 photographs The second annual book highlighting the creativity and process behind 30 winning robot designs from the 18th annual, international FIRST Robotics Competition. The FIRST organization, founded by Dean Kamen (inventor of the Segway) promotes education in the sciences, technology and engineering in collaboration with sponsors including Motorola, Xerox, NASA, Delphi, General Motors and other companies invested in science education. This competition has been highlighted by major news organizations like NBC, CNN, Business Week online, and more, making this a high-profile, much anticipated yearly event among competitors and robot enthusiasts and the book will be a must-have item for those attending and participating in the events.
