Carbon Dioxide Utilization to Sustainable Energy and Fuels
This edited book provides an in-depth overview of carbon dioxide (CO2) transformations to sustainable power technologies. It also discusses the wide scope of issues in engineering avenues, key designs, device fabrication, characterizations, various types of conversions and related topics. It includes studies focusing on the applications in catalysis, energy conversion and conversion technologies, etc. This is a unique reference guide, and one of the detailed works is on this technology. The book is the result of commitments by leading researchers from various backgrounds and expertise. The book is well structured and is an essential resource for scientists, undergraduate, postgraduate students, faculty, R&D professionals, energy chemists and industrial experts.
AACR 2017 Proceedings: Abstracts 1-3062
The AACR Annual Meeting highlights the best cancer science and medicine from institutions all over the world. Attendees are invited to stretch their boundaries, form collaborations, attend sessions outside their own areas of expertise, and learn how to apply exciting new concepts, tools, and techniques to their own research. Part A contains abstracts 1-3062 accepted for the 2017 meeting.
Pyridine-functionalized Polymeric Catalysts for CO2-Reduction
Melanie Weichselbaumer presents the synthesis of the monomers as well as the electropolymerization on Pt-electrodes. The electrolysis experiments were carried out for 40 hours and the products were analysed by gas chromatography and ionic chromatography. Pyridine-functionalized and Rhenium bipyridine-functionalized Polythiophenes can be used as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2-reduction.
Greenhouse Gases: Sources, Sinks and Mitigation
This book begins with a brief background on greenhouse gases sources and sinks and continues with a discussion in different sectors including forest fluxes to human health and modeling techniques to policy measures. The chapters explore in detail about the GHG emission budgets, mitigation strategies, technical advancement and input-output analysis. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) occur naturally in our atmosphere and are essential to the survival of most of the organisms on the planet earth. GHGs such as such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone etc. play a major role in balancing the radiative budget, by absorbing or emitting some of the infrared rays reflecting from the earth’s s...
Perspectives on German Popular Music
In this book, native popular musicologists focus on their own popular music cultures from Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the first time: from subcultural to mainstream phenomena; from the 1950s to contemporary acts. Starting with an introduction and two chapters on the histories of German popular music and its study, the volume then concentrates on focused, detailed and yet concise close readings from different perspectives (including particular historical East and West German perspectives), mostly focusing on the music and its protagonists. Moreover, these analyses deal with very original specific genres such as Schlager and Krautrock as well as transcultural genres such as Punk or Hip Hop. There are additional chapters on characteristically German developments within music media, journalism and the music industry. The book will contribute to a better understanding of German, Austrian and Swiss popular music, and will interconnect international and especially Anglo-American studies with German approaches. The book, as a consequence, will show close connections between global and local popular music cultures and diverse traditions of study.
Beyond Style and Genre
Popular culture today manifests itself in a dense network of styles and genres, while the aesthetic preferences of the audience are highly differentiated. Besides, popular culture also implies a diversity of aesthetic strategies, discourses and value systems that traverse the symbolic demarcations between styles and genres and are effective across different artistic fields and individual media. Aesthetic concepts such as camp, retro or trash are expressions of a transgressive mode of production that facilitates a multitude of cross-connections between aesthetic spaces of experience. The volume brings together authors from different disciplines who approach aesthetic concepts in popular culture on a historical, theoretical and methodological level, analyze them on the basis of various aesthetic phenomena, or discuss aspects relevant to their theoretical contextualization, such as the emergence and establishment of artistic practices and aesthetic value systems.
Schlager erforschen
Schlager ist en vogue und kann in vielen Alltagskontexten erlebt werden - beim Musikhören, in Konzerten, aber auch im Fernsehen, Radio und in Filmen, auf Festen oder via soziale Medien. Schlager finden seit einigen Jahren ein großes Publikum. Gerade der breite Erfolg macht das populäre Genre für die Kulturkritik weiterhin verdächtig, ein kommerzielles und oberflächliches Vergnügen zu sein. Der vorliegende Band möchte diese einseitige Sicht hinter sich lassen und zu einer stärkeren Beachtung des Phänomens in der populären Musikforschung beitragen. Fünfzehn Beiträge untersuchen den Schlager in seiner Vielfalt aus unterschiedlichen kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven.
Das Kulturpublikum
Armin Klein Vor einigen Jahren schrieb der Theaterkritiker Gerhard Jörder in der Woch- zeitung Die Zeit: „Es ist schon eigenartig mit dem Theaterpublikum. Ist es da, interessiert sich keiner dafür. Bleibt es weg, sprechen alle von ihm. Erst wenn es sich verweigert, ist es wieder wer. Ein ‚Phänomen‘. Ein Problemfall!“ Was hier speziell über das Theaterpublikum gesagt wird, kann mehr oder weniger auch für die anderen Kunstsparten gelten: Über viele Jahrzehnte wussten die Produzenten von Kunst und Kultur wenig, viel zu wenig über ihr Publikum. Dies hat im Wesentlichen zwei Gründe. Zum einen waren (und sind) viele Kulturschaffende weitestgehend an ihrem künstlerischen Produkt und dessen Herstellung interessiert. Das ist auch völlig in Ordnung so, kann sich doch der Künstler, die Künstlerin auf die (nahezu) grenzenlose Freiheit berufen, die ihm das Grundgesetz in Artikel 5 Absatz 3 gewährt. Die zweite Ursache liegt in den in Deutschland sehr hohen staatlichen Zuwendungen, die die immaterielle Kunstfreiheitsgarantie materiell absichern: Rund acht Milliarden Euro lassen sich dies Bund, Länder und Gemeinden kosten.
