A blend of memoir, history, and oral storytelling, The Time Left between Us bridges the gap between the generation who fought World War II and the generation who has forgotten it. Alicia DeFonzo takes an unplanned visit to the Normandy beaches while staying in Paris. Her grandfather “Del” (Anthony DelRossi) had fought in World War II, and she becomes distraught after realizing how little she knows about the war and his experiences, which until then had remained largely unspoken. Across landscapes and lifetimes DeFonzo retraces her beloved grandfather’s tour through World War II Europe. The eighty-four-year-old DelRossi recounts stories as an army combat engineer surviving major campaig...
The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2005, held in Paris, France in January 2005. The 27 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on numerical abstraction, verification, heap and shape analysis, abstract model checking, model checking, applied abstract interpretation, and bounded model checking.
Title of the first 10 volumes of the series is Germans to America : lists of passengers arriving at U.S. ports 1850-1855.
Der Schutz vor Verwechslungen ist ein Kernelement des Markenrechts und war bereits Gegenstand einer Vielzahl hochstgerichtlicher Entscheidungen. Nach bislang in Deutschland herrschender Auffassung ist zur Bestimmung des Schutzumfangs alleine die altere Marke in ihrer eingetragenen Form massgeblich und es sollten - auch auf Seiten des konfligierenden jungeren Zeichens - aussere Umstande der Benutzung ausser Betracht bleiben, welche die Verwechslungsgefahr beeinflussen konnten. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht Steffen Reinhard neuere Entscheidungen des EuGH, die Zweifel an dieser Ansicht aufkommen lassen, und entwirft hierzu einen eigenstandigen Losungsansatz. Zur Unterstutzung seiner These betrachtet der Autor die Problematik nicht nur aus deutscher Sicht, sondern wirft auch einen Blick auf andere ausgewahlte europaische Rechtsordnungen.
This book is the closing report of the national priority program Nature-Inspired Fluid Mechanics (Schwerpunktprogramm SPP 1207: Strömungsbeeinflussung in der Natur und Technik). Nature-inspired fluid mechanics is one subset of biomimetics, a discipline which has received increased attention over the last decade, with numerous faculties and degree courses devoted solely to exploring ‘nature as a model’ for engineering applications. To save locomotion energy, evolution has optimized the design of animals such that friction loss is minimized. In addition to many morphological adaptations, animals that are often exposed to water or air currents have developed special behaviors that allow th...
