The Jews In Our Closet
The heartbreaking true story of how a sheltered, small-town family sacrificed everything to join the Netherlands’ fiercest resistance fighters of World War II. SPRING 1940. The German Army occupies the Netherlands. No longer a theoretical conflict heard only on radio broadcasts, the war has now reached Apeldoorn. For eleven-year-old Rei Hulstein and his friends and siblings, their innocent childhoods abruptly end. When Gestapo soldiers begin to round up Dutch Jews, Rei’s father, Hendrikus, a humble furniture-maker, joins with his cohorts to form a resistance group known as The Underground. In the Hulsteins' tiny home, Rei's closet transforms into a hidden sanctuary—a secret room-betwee...
The King William Giants
Shortly before his death, 150 years ago, King William I of Wurttemberg gave the royal forestry commission in the country an unusual mission, the preparation and realization of which, lead to a diversity of results which was without parallel. The discovery of the giant sequoia trees in North America in the middle of the 19th century caused a sensation, which King William I as a nature lover took as an opportunity to have seeds of these exotic trees sent directly from California to the temperate greenhouse of the current Wilhelma in Stuttgart in order to raise thousands of young trees. The giant trees were known at this time in Wurttemberg as Wellingtonia. The young trees were then planted sys...
Hormones and Reproduction of Vertebrates, Volume 2
This series of volumes represents a comprehensive and integrated treatment of reproduction in vertebrates from fishes of all sorts through mammals. It is designed to provide a readable, coordinated description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each chapter and each volume is intended to stand alone as a review of that topic or vertebrate group, respectively, the volumes are prepared so as to provide a thorough topical treatment across the vertebrates. Terminology has been standardized across the volumes to reduce confusion where multiple names exist...

Corrosion Behavior of Austenitic Stainless Steels in CO2-Saturated Synthetic Oil Field Formation Water
The corrosion behavior of austenitic and superaustenitic stainless steels was investigated in carbon dioxide-saturated synthetic oil field formation water using cyclic polarization tests. In order to measure the effect of carbon dioxide pressure, the samples were also exposed in a pressurized medium containing carbon dioxide and synthetic air. For this purpose, tests were performed for long exposure time at 80 °C under 8 MPa of a mixture of carbon dioxide and synthetic air both acting together. The results indicated that the type of corrosion on the surfaces of the samples after all the tests was pitting corrosion. According to the results, the AL-6XNPLUS(TM) steel presented the best performance in all experiments. The results also indicated that the conventional austenitic stainless steels are not suitable for the use in carbon dioxide containing environment in aqueous medium.
Motor Skills and Their Foundational Role for Perceptual, Social, and Cognitive Development
Motor skills are a vital part of healthy development and are featured prominently both in physical examinations and in parents’ baby diaries. It has been known for a long time that motor development is critical for children’s understanding of the physical and social world. Learning occurs through dynamic interactions and exchanges with the physical and the social world, and consequently movements of eyes and head, arms and legs, and the entire body are a critical during learning. At birth, we start with relatively poorly developed motor skills but soon gain eye and head control, learn to reach, grasp, sit, and eventually to crawl and walk on our own. The opportunities arising from each o...
Spark-Plasma Sintering and Related Field-Assisted Powder Consolidation Technologies
Electromagnetic field-assisted sintering techniques have increasingly attracted attention of scientists and technologists. Spark-plasma sintering (SPS) and other field-assisted powder consolidation approaches provide remarkable capabilities to the processing of materials into configurations previously unattainable. Of particular significance is the possibility of using very fast heating rates, which, coupled with the field-assisted mass transport, stand behind the purported ability to achieve high densities during consolidation and to maintain the nanostructure of consolidated materials via these techniques. Potentially, SPS and related technologies have many significant advantages over the conventional powder processing methods, including the lower process temperature, the shorter holding time, dramatically improved properties of sintered products, low manufacturing costs, and environmental friendliness.
Moderne Methoden der Werkstoffprüfung
Strengere Maßstäbe an die Qualität, Zuverlässigkeit und technische Sicherheit sowie veränderte Konstruktions- und Fertigungsprinzipien in Verbindung mit dem Einsatz neuartiger Hochleistungswerkstoffe stellen zunehmend höhere Anforderungen an die Werkstoffprüfung. Um diesen gerecht zu werden, bedarf es zunehmend der Entwicklung und Umsetzung neuartiger, wissenschaftlich fundierter Verfahren zur Untersuchung von Werkstoffgefüge und -struktur, zur Messung mechanischer und physikalisch-chemischer Eigenschaften sowie für die immer wichtiger werdende zerstörungsfreie Materialprüfung. Im Fokus des Buches stehen moderne, anspruchsvolle Verfahren zur Ermittlung der mechanischen Eigenschaft...
