A violent storm raged over the Gotthard massif the night of 24/25 August 1987. The ensuing floods destroyed houses, streets, train lines, and farmland. Luckily, no people were harmed, but in the lower Reuss valley alone, more than 900 farm animals drowned. Over the past thirty years, severe storms have swept over not only Switzerland, but the entire Alpine region in short succession--with enormous masses of water that gradually increase the likelihood of regular natural disasters. The artist duo Pascale Wiedemann and Daniel Mettler, aka wiedemann/mettler, took up the story of Noah's ark. As the Book of Genesis tells us, the great deluge came to obliterate" humanity's moral corruption. Howeve...

The wide range of applications of thermal methods of analysis in measuring physical properties, studying chemical reactions and determining the thermal behaviour of samples is of interest to academics and to industry. These applications prompted the writing of this book, in the hope that the descriptions, explanations and examples given would be of help to the analyst and would stimulate the investigation of other thermal techniques. Thermal studies are a fascinating means of examining the samples and the problems brought to us by colleagues, students and clients. If time allows, watching crystals change on a hot-stage microscope, or measuring the properties and changes on a DSC or TG or any...
Thermal Analysis, Volume 1: Instrumentation, Organic Materials, and Polymers is a collection of papers presented at the Second International Conference on Thermal Analysis, held in Holy Cross College, Worcester, Massachusetts on August 18-23, 1968. The papers highlight a wide range of applications, from fundamental thermodynamics and kinetics to industrial process development. This book is divided into two major sections encompassing 45 chapters. The first section emphasizes the developments in the instrumentation aspects of thermal analysis. This section deals first with the developments of thermal analysis equipment, methods, and their corresponding application to various fields, including...
