Bayern und der Eiserne Vorhang 1945–1990
Der "Eiserne Vorhang": Rund 800 Kilometer verlief er in der DDR und der Tschechoslowakei entlang der Landesgrenze zu Bayern und umklammerte den Freistaat von Norden und Osten. Stacheldrahtzäune, Wachtürme, Minenfelder und schwer bewaffnete Posten prägten hier wie dort das Bild der anderen Seite. Und doch bildeten sich Nuancen heraus, die der bayerisch-tschechoslowakischen Grenze aus westlicher Perspektive einen differenzierten Charakter gegenüber der innerdeutschen Grenze verliehen, der sich nicht nur durch eine politische wie gesellschaftliche Überdeterminierung der deutschen Teilung erklären lässt. Diesem Phänomen einer gefühlten Andersartigkeit des tschechoslowakischen "Eisernen Vorhangs" spürt die vorliegende Studie in Form eines historischen Vergleichs nach.
Leben mit Grenzen
Grenzen haben im Leben der Menschen gerade in Ost-, Mittel und Südosteuropa sehr unterschiedliche Bedeutungen und Auswirkungen. Wer sich im Schengenraum als EU-Bürger ungehindert bewegen kann, spürt die Freiheit ohne Grenzen. Wer dagegen auf der Flucht ist und nach Europa gelangen will, überwindet nur schwer die EU-Außengrenze. In zahlreichen Regionen wirken frühere Grenzen wie Phantome der Vergangenheit nach und geben Anlass zu viel Streit über Grenzverläufe.
Borderland Societies in East-Central Europe
The recent events of the Russo-Ukrainian warfare confirm violently that borderlands and borderland societies constitute vital parts of topographically as well as simultaneously culturally determined and discursively shaped East-Central European spatial spheres. This volume approaches this topic in a variety of case studies, spanning from Western border regions like Silesia and the former inner-German border between Thuringia and Northern Bavaria to the Eastern outposts of the Habsburg Empire in Galicia and Bukovina. These borderlands depict collectively experienced spaces of representation, allowing certain insights into the histories of society and transfer. By analyzing transdisciplinary c...
Future Space-Transport-System Components under High Thermal and Mechanical Loads
This open access book presents the findings of Collaborative Research Center Transregio 40 (TRR40), initiated in July 2008 and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Gathering innovative design concepts for thrust chambers and nozzles, as well as cutting-edge methods of aft-body flow control and propulsion-component cooling, it brings together fundamental research undertaken at universities, testing carried out at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and industrial developments from the ArianeGroup. With a particular focus on heat transfer analyses and novel cooling concepts for thermally highly loaded structures, the book highlights the aft-body flow of the space transportation system and its interaction with the nozzle flow, which are especially critical during the early phase of atmospheric ascent. Moreover, it describes virtual demonstrators for combustion chambers and nozzles, and discusses their industrial applicability. As such, it is a timely resource for researchers, graduate students and practitioners.
The Alignment Problem
'Vital reading. This is the book on artificial intelligence we need right now.' Mike Krieger, cofounder of Instagram Artificial intelligence is rapidly dominating every aspect of our modern lives influencing the news we consume, whether we get a mortgage, and even which friends wish us happy birthday. But as algorithms make ever more decisions on our behalf, how do we ensure they do what we want? And fairly? This conundrum - dubbed 'The Alignment Problem' by experts - is the subject of this timely and important book. From the AI program which cheats at computer games to the sexist algorithm behind Google Translate, bestselling author Brian Christian explains how, as AI develops, we rapidly approach a collision between artificial intelligence and ethics. If we stand by, we face a future with unregulated algorithms that propagate our biases - and worse - violate our most sacred values. Urgent and fascinating, this is an accessible primer to the most important issue facing AI researchers today.
Das Land der Bayern
Bayern: Da denken viele an idyllische Seenlandschaften, an prächtige Schlösser vor Bergpanoramen und an pittoreske Barockkirchen inmitten saftiger Wiesen. In seiner Vermessung der bayerischen Naturräume und Geschichtslandschaften eröffnet der Historiker Bernhard Löffler dagegen neue, ungewöhnliche Zugänge zu einem Bayern jenseits der Klischees. Er nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise vom Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart, von Altötting bis nach Aschaffenburg, von Oberammergau bis zum Obersalzberg, vom Walchensee bis nach Wackersdorf. Durch erhellende Beispiele und kurzweilige Geschichten lässt er 200 Jahre bayerische Geschichte lebendig werden und zeigt, dass manche scheinbar...
Progress in Turbulence III
This third issue on “progress in turbulence” is based on the third ITI conference (ITI interdisciplinary turbulence initiative), which took place in Bertinoro, North Italy. Researchers from the engineering and physical sciences gathered to present latest results on the rather notorious difficult and essentially unsolved problem of turbulence. This challenge is driving us in doing basic as well as applied research. Clear progress can be seen from these contributions in different aspects. New - phisticated methods achieve more and more insights into the underlying compl- ity of turbulence. The increasing power of computational methods allows studying flows in more details. Increasing deman...
West Germany and the Iron Curtain
West Germany and the Iron Curtain takes a fresh look at the history of the Federal Republic and the German re-unification process from the spatial perspective of the West German borderlands that emerged along the volatile inter-German border after 1945. The book is the first environmental history of the Iron Curtain.
