Concepts and Applications of Nonlinear Terahertz Spectroscopy

By: Thomas Elsaesser,Klaus Reimann,Michael Woerner

Terahertz (THz) radiation with frequencies between 100 GHz and 30 THz has developed into an important tool of science and technology, with numerous applications in materials characterization, imaging, sensor technologies, and telecommunications. Recent progress in THz generation has provided ultrashort THz pulses with electric field amplitudes of up to several megavolts/cm. This development opens the new research field of nonlinear THz spectroscopy in which strong light-matter interactions are exploited to induce quantum excitations and/or charge transport and follow their nonequilibrium dynamics in time-resolved experiments. This book introduces methods of THz generation and nonlinear THz spectroscopy in a tutorial way, discusses the relevant theoretical concepts, and presents prototypical, experimental, and theoretical results in condensed matter physics. The potential of nonlinear THz spectroscopy is illustrated by recent research, including an overview of the relevant literature.

Köhler's Invention

By: Klaus Eichmann

Georges Köhler was one of the most prominent German scientists of recent history. In 1984, at an age of 38, he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, together with N.K. Jerne and C. Milstein, for inventing the technique for generating monoclonal antibodies. This method and its subsequent applications had an enormous impact on basic research, medicine and the biotech industry. In the same year, Köhler became one of the directors of the Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology in Freiburg; his unfortunate premature death in 1995 set an end to his extraordinary career. Prof. Klaus Eichmann, who had invited Köhler to become his codirector, is one of the people who were closest to him. This scientific biography commemorates the 10th anniversary of Köhler's untimely death. Köhler's scientific achievements are explained in a way to make them understandable for the general public and discussed in the historical context of immunological research.

Wagner and Beethoven

Richard Wagner's Reception of Beethoven

By: Klaus Kropfinger

This book analyzes the lifelong impact of Beethoven's music on Wagner and its importance for his conception of music drama. Kropfinger charts and scrutinizes Wagner's early responses to the composer and considers his experience as a conductor of Beethoven's music. A discussion of the Romantic "Beethoven image" leads to a careful study of Wagner's aesthetic writings, including his "programmatic explanations," the text "Concerning Franz Liszt's symphonic poems," and his Beethoven centenary essay. The penultimate chapter addresses Wagner's theory and practice of music drama, which he came to regard as the preordained successor to the Beethoven symphony. By analyzing special terms--such as "Leitmotiv"--Wagner's structural view of musical drama comes to the fore; it is a view that deepens not only our understanding of musical drama as a "hybrid" genre of art but also of purely musical structure and forms that Wagner sought to outdo.

Victory at Gallipoli, 1915

The German-Ottoman Alliance in the First World War

By: Klaus Wolf

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Victory at Gallipoli, 1915

The German-Ottoman Alliance in the First World War

By: Klaus Wolf

“The author delivers in fine detail, supported by excellent appendices and notes, the role of officers and men in the defense of the Dardanelles.” —Michael McCarthy, Battlefield Guide The German contribution in a famous Turkish victory at Gallipoli has been overshadowed by the Mustafa Kemal legend. The commanding presence of German General Liman von Sanders in the operations is well known. But relatively little is known about the background of German military intervention in Ottoman affairs. Klaus Wolf fills this gap as a result of extensive research in the German records and the published literature. He examines the military assistance offered by the German Empire in the years preceding 1914 and the German involvement in ensuring that the Ottomans fought on the side of the Central Powers and that they made best use of the German military and naval missions. He highlights the fundamental reforms that were required after the battering the Turks received in various Balkan wars, particularly in the Turkish Army, and the challenges that faced the members of the German missions. When the allied invasion of Gallipoli was launched, German officers became a vital part of a robust Turkish defense—be it at sea or on land, at senior command level or commanding units of infantry and artillery. In due course German aviators were to be, in effect, founding fathers of the Turkish air arm; while junior ranks played an important part as, for example, machine gunners. This book is not only their missing memorial but a missing link in understanding the tragedy that was Gallipoli. “A great addition to any Gallipoli library.” —The Western Front Association

Advanced notion of the Creeping Codification which is based on the 'TransLex Principles', operated by the Center for Transnational Law (CENTRAL) of Cologne University at www.trans-lex.org. The Trans- Lex Principles are based on the 'List of Principles, Rules and Standards of the Lex Mercatoria' which was reproduced in the Annex of the first edition of this book. This Internet-based codification method realized through the TransLex Principles corresponds to the unique character of the Creeping Codification of the New Lex Mercatoria which is an ongoing, spontaneous, and dynamic process which is never completed.

Materials Characterization for Process Control and Product Confromity

Materials Characterization for Process Control and Product Confromity

Introduction to Methods for Nondestructive Characterization of Materials Microstructure and Materials Properties During Production, Operation, and Inspection

By: Klaus Goebbels

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is used to examine the ability of materials and components to withstand loads. Two features of NDT are defect inspection and materials characterization. Because of the increasing ability to manufacture materials and products "defect free" there is less need for defect-oriented NDT but an increasing need for materials characterization. This book is the first comprehensive work on materials characterization, presenting the state of the art and practical applications. Materials characterization is used during production, operations, service intervals, or after repairs. Materials are used to withstand mechanical, thermal, chemical, and irradiation loads-or a combination thereof. The ability to withstand these loads is essentially a function of parameters like chemical composition, microstructure, macrostructure, residual stresses, and materials properties. The physical background of NDT is presented along with its different methods. Ultrasonics, electromagnetics, and X-rays are treated with appropriate detail, while other methods such as acoustic emission, vibration analysis, optical, and thermal methods are also covered. The different methods of materials characterization are discussed following the goal parameters, from atomic to macroscopic dimensions. One of the practical features of the book is the presentation of real world applications. On-line process control and condition monitoring are discussed, as well as off-line applications for materials characterization after production and after operation.

WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management

From Niche Position to International Recognition, 1984 - 2019

By: Klaus Brockhoff

How can a personal desire to leave a lasting mark and criticism of the German university system lead to the establishment of an internationally renowned institution of higher education? Klaus Brockhoff provides the answer to this question by accurately tracing the detailed 35-year history of WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management – and highlighting all of its highs and lows in the process. Despite the challenges associated with founding and operating an institution of higher education, it was always and will continue to be the remarkable spirit of the donor, university administration members, employees as well as students, alumni and sponsors that make a decisive contribution to the overall success of WHU. At the same time, the history of WHU may also serve as an example for other universities wanting to position themselves successfully amid international competition that is becoming increasingly dynamic. Ever since the establishment of WHU, Professor Dr. Dr. h. c. Klaus Brockhoff has been monitoring the institution's evolution, served as its dean for five years and then went on to be part of the foundation's Executive Board for 13 years. His presentation relies on a comprehensive document analysis in addition to personal conversations with numerous contemporary witnesses and members of WHU. The Beisheim foundations in Switzerland and Germany remain committed to promoting the philanthropic legacy of Otto Beisheim, one of the co-founders of Metro. At the same time, both foundations are the primary sponsors of WHU, which has borne the name of the entrepreneur – Otto Beisheim School of Management – ever since he demonstrated such impressive personal commitment in 1993. The Beisheim foundations are the editors of this publication, which will also be published in German.

Undogmatisches

rechtsvergleichende und rechtsökonomische Studien aus dreissig Jahren

By: Hein Kötz,Jürgen Basedow,Klaus J. Hopt,Reinhard Zimmermann

English summary: This volume contains twenty essays by Hein Kotz which were published in different, and partly remote places. In their totality they give an impression of Kotz' scholarly style and the subjects in which he was interested. The book contains only those essays which are still of significance to readers today and are able to provide not only information but also entertainment. This is why the title Beyond the Orthodox was selected. In their style and their approach, the essays cannot be classified as belonging to traditional legal doctrine; they examine their subject matter from a comparative and economic perspective and they find their bearings in the notions of functional efficiency. German description: Diese Aufsatzsammlung enthalt zwanzig Beitrage von Hein Kotz, die an ganz unterschiedlichen, zum Teil schwer zuganglichen Stellen veroffentlicht worden sind, aber gerade in ihrer Zusammenschau einen Eindruck seines wissenschaftlichen Stils und seiner Interessenschwerpunkte vermitteln. Zudem ist in den vorliegenden Band nur aufgenommen worden, was fur den Leser auch heute noch von Interesse ist und ihn nicht nur zu belehren, sondern vor allem auch zu unterhalten vermag. Darin liegt der wesentliche Grund dafur, dass die Wahl auf Undogmatisches gefallen ist, also auf Aufsatze, die in Zuschnitt und Herangehensweise nicht der traditionellen Rechtsdogmatik zuzurechnen sind, sondern ihren Gegenstand vom rechtsvergleichenden Standpunkt aus auf seine Funktion und Leistungsfahigkeit oder vom rechtsokonomischen Standpunkt aus auf seine Effizienz befragen.

Indische Kultur im Kontext

Rituale, Texte und Ideen aus Indien und der Welt : Festschrift für Klaus Mylius

By: Klaus Mylius

Indische Kultur im Kontext ist eine Festschrift zum 75. Geburtstag des international bekannten Indologen Klaus Mylius. Der Band enthalt Beitrage von erstrangigen Vertretern der Indologie aus den USA, Japan, der Schweiz, Deutschland, Belgien, Ungarn, Finnland und Indien. Weitere Artikel, die Themen aus anderen Kulturen mit Bezugen zu Indien behandeln, wurden von Freunden und Weggefahrten des Jubilars verfasst. Das Spektrum der Beitrage spiegelt das umfangreiche Schaffen von Klaus Mylius wider. Mehrere Autoren behandeln Rituale und Texte des altindischen Veda, die uber viele Jahrzehnte sein Hauptforschungsgebiet bildeten. Andere Artikel beschaftigen sich mit religions-, literatur- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Themen der Indologie. Die nichtindologischen Themen, die grosstenteils Bezuge zu Indien haben, behandeln etwa chinesische Legenden, die europaische Aufklarung oder das Bild der Venus in der Kunstgeschichte. Insgesamt demonstriert der Band eine Idee, die Klaus Mylius selbst immer verfolgt hat: Die adaquate Interpretation indischer Texte kann nur bei Beachtung der jeweiligen - indischen und ausserindischen - Kontexte gelingen.
