The book summarises the outcom of a priority research programme: 'Analysis, Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows'. The results of 24 individual research projects are presented. The main objective of the research programme was to provide a better understanding of the physical basis for multiphase gas-liquid flows as they are found in numerous chemical and biochemical reactors. The research comprises steady and unsteady multiphase flows in three frequently found reactor configurations, namely bubble columns without interiors, airlift loop reactors, and aerated stirred vessels. For this purpose new and improved measurement techniques were developed. From the resulting knowledge and data, new and refined models for describing the underlying physical processes were developed, which were used for the establishment and improvement of analytic as well as numerical methods for predicting multiphase reactors. Thereby, the development, lay-out and scale-up of such processes should be possible on a more reliable basis.
For quite some time, in systems and software design, security only came as a second thought or even as a nice-to-have add-on. However, since the breakthrough of the Internet as a virtual backbone for electronic commerce and similar applications, security is now recognized as a fundamental requirement. This book presents a systematic security improvement approach based on the pattern paradigm. The author first clarifies the key concepts of security patterns, defines their semantics and syntax, demonstrates how they can be used, and then compares his model with other security approaches. Based on the author's model and best practice in security patterns, security novices are now in a position to understand how security experts solve problems and can basically act like them by using the patterns available as building blocks for their designs.
From the moment we begin to understand the meanings of words and symbols, we have used rhetoric. It is how we determine perceptions of who we are, those around us, and the social structure in which we operate. Rhetorical Theory, Second Edition introduces a broad selection of classical and contemporary theoretical approaches to understanding and using rhetoric. Historical context reveals why rhetorical theories were created, while present-day examples demonstrate how they relate to the world in which we live. Borchers and Hundley present conceptual topics in a succinct and approachable manner. The text is organized topically rather than chronologically, so similarities and differences are easily detected in central ideas. Each chapter is enhanced by the inclusion of theorist biographies, applications of theory to practice, and Internet exercises. The Second Edition expands coverage on mediated rhetoric, feminist rhetoric, alternative rhetorical theories including Afrocentricity and intersectionality, cultural and critical rhetoric, and postmodern implications of rhetoric.
Issues for 1860, 1866-67, 1869, 1872 include directories of Covington and Newport, Kentucky.
Willkommen in meinem Kaffeehaus! Lass mich dich entführen in andere Zeiten und Welten. Ich erzähle dir Geschichten von Liebe, Freundschaft, Kaffee und Tod. Von neuen Bekanntschaften und alten Auseinandersetzungen. Wir reisen in fremde Universen und zu einzigartigen Menschen. Mach es dir gemütlich. Was willst du trinken? Bei einer gemütlichen Tasse Kaffee, Cappuccino und anderen Getränken erzählen zwölf Autor*innen Geschichten, die sich eventuell so zugetragen haben könnten.
Verlassen liegen sie da. Niemand hat sie seit Jahren betreten. Es gibt sie in fast jedem Ort: alte, schon lange leer stehende Häuser – verfallen, abbruchreif, die Fassade bröckelt, die Fenster sind blind oder gar gesplittert. Niemand wagt sich mehr hinein. Doch warum wurden diese Gebäude verlassen? Welche Geschichten erzählt man sich hinter vorgehaltener Hand darüber? Und wieso werden manche dieser Häuser sogar gemieden? Was ist dort geschehen? Neugierig geworden? Dann folgt uns einfach und betretet die sogenannten Geisterhäuser. Lasst euch überraschen, welche Mysterien die Geschichten jeweils aufdecken werden.
Written by Drew Wagar under official license from the creators of, and based in the vast universe of, the seminal space trading computer game Elite: Dangerous. Lady Kahina Loren, born into the Prism system’s powerful ruling family, is desperate to throw off the shackles of her privileged lifestyle and discover herself, but ambition crumbles when she faces death at the hands of the one person she thought she could trust. With the advanced technology of the 3rd millennium, death is not always as final as it seems, but when that technology malfunctions, is death the better option… 10% of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the Ashford Dyslexia Centre, a charity who do wonderful work with sufferers of dyslexia including one to one tuition, workshops and presentations providing tools to maximise potential.
