After Auschwitz
From the moment of its inception, the East German state sought to cast itself as a clean break from the horrors of National Socialism. Nonetheless, the precipitous rise of xenophobic, far-right parties across the present-day German East is only the latest evidence that the GDR’s legacy cannot be understood in isolation from the Nazi era nor the political upheavals of today. This provocative collection reflects on the heretofore ignored or repressed aspects of German mainstream society—including right-wing extremism, anti-Semitism and racism—to call for an ambitious renewal of historical research and political education to place East Germany in its proper historical context.
Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems
Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems comprises 330 papers that were presented at the Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation (SEMC 2022, Cape Town, South Africa, 5-7 September 2022). The topics featured may be clustered into six broad categories that span the themes of mechanics, modelling and engineering design: (i) mechanics of materials (elasticity, plasticity, porous media, fracture, fatigue, damage, delamination, viscosity, creep, shrinkage, etc); (ii) mechanics of structures (dynamics, vibration, seismic response, soil-structure interaction, fluid-structure interaction, response to ...
Im Dienst der Staatssicherheit
Mielkes Männer und Frauen Obwohl das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (MfS) als zentrales Herrschaftsinstrument der DDR seit der »Wende« 1989 im Blickfeld der Öffentlichkeit steht, weiß man auch heute noch sehr wenig über die hauptamtlichen Mitarbeiter dieses Geheimdienstes. Als »Schild und Schwert der Partei« bildeten die 78.000 Berufssoldaten und -offiziere in den MfSKreisdienststellen, Bezirksverwaltungen und der Berliner Zentrale das Rückgrat des SED-Regimes. Wie kamen »ganz normale Menschen« dazu, in diesen Apparat einzutreten, dort langfristig mitzuarbeiten, sich in die Strukturen einzufügen und diese damit zu stabilisieren? Was waren ihre Motivationsgrundlagen und Wertvorstellungen? Wie gestaltete sich ihr Lebensalltag im Dienst der Staatssicherheit? Was wurde aus ihnen nach der Auflösung des MfS und dem Zusammenbruch der DDR? Wie bewerten sie selbst ihre MfS-Vergangenheit? Dieses Buch gibt, gestützt auf über 70 Interviews, in denen ehemalige hauptamtliche Mitarbeiter der »Stasi« ihre Lebensgeschichten erzählen, die Antworten.
Male Sterility in Higher Plants
" . . . . . . Nature has something more in view than that its own proper males should fecundate each blossom. " Andrew Knight Philosophical Transactions, 1799 Sterility implicating the male sex solely presents a paradoxical situation in which universality and uniqueness are harmoniously blended. It maintains a built-in outbreeding system but is not an isolating mechanism, as male steriles, the "self-emasculated" plants, outcross with their male fertile sibs normally. Both genes (nuclear and cytoplasmic) and environment, individually as well as conjointly, induce male sterility, the former being genetic and the latter nongenetic. Genetic male sterility is controlled either exclusively by nucl...
