Dehydrobenzene and Cycloalkynes

By: Reinhard W. Hoffmann

Dehydrobenzene and Cycloalkynes deals with the problems associated with the production and reactions of dehydrobenzene and of the related fields of dehydroheterocycles and cycloalkynes. This book also describes the various synthetic applications of dehydrobenzene and provides a list of reactions in which dehydrobenzene occurs as an intermediary. The text explains the generation of dehydrobenzene by cleavage of cyclic systems, by photolytic methods, and by free radical reactions. Nucleophilic and electrophilic monodentate attacks on dehydrobenzene, as well as, bidentate additions to dehydrobenzene yielding cycloadducts. The book also notes that dehydrobenzene is not only a transition state but can be an intermediate of characteristic selectivity and lifetime. The reactions of dehydrobenzene in the gaseous phase affirm that the existence of dehydrobenzene is not restricted to the presence of a solvation shell. The researcher can then study the molecular structure of dehydrobenzene when its existence has been fully established. The text also extends the principle that the dehydroaromatic intermediates can be obtained by abstracting two adjacent hydrogen atoms from an aromatic substrate different from the 1- and 2- positions to arrive at a 1,3- and 1,4-dehydrobenzene. Researchers and scientists whose works are associated with organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, molecular physics or physical chemistry will find this book valuable.

Positive Pressure Attack for Ventilation & Firefighting

By: Kriss Garcia,Reinhard Kauffmann,Ray Schelble,Raymond Schelble

In the past decades, lightweight building construction methods and the use of manmade materials in construction and furnishings have become more and more common. The time until structural failure can be expected in a fire has been reduced, and firefighters have seen hotter fires that generate high levels of deadly gasses. But the ventilation methods used by modern firefighters have not kept pace. Positive pressure was first used in the fire service to ventilate a structure after the fire was knocked down. Authors Kriss Garcia and Reinhard Kauffmann have taken positive pressure a step further to achieve effective ventilation in coordination with aggressive fire attack, called positive pressure attack (PPA). Properly used PPA allows firefighters great control over the interior environment of a fire building, and starts at the earliest stages of the operation when ventilation can provide the greatest benefit for victims, firefighters, and the structure. With a small investment in equipment and a commitment to training, any fire department can implement PPA at the company level. Subjects covered in this book include: - Basics of positive pressure and how to maximize its effectiveness for fireground ventilation. - PPA: how effective ventilation can be coordinated to support an aggressive fire attack. - Safety considerations and limitations of PPA and positive pressure. - Other ways positive pressure blowers can be used to help victims and firefighters in a variety of situations. - Implementing PPA on a department, and how to train each engine company to become its own firefighting force that can accomplish both ventilation and fire attack.

Machu Picchu

Exploring an Ancient Sacred Center

By: Johan Reinhard

Machu Picchu, recently voted one of the New Wonders of the World, is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, yet it remains a mystery. Even the most basic questions are still unanswered: What was its meaning and why was it built in such a difficult location? Renowned explorer Johan Reinhard attempts to answer such elusive questions from the perspectives of sacred landscape and archaeoastronomy. Using information gathered from historical, archaeological, and ethnographical sources, Reinhard demonstrates how the site is situated in the center of sacred mountains and associated with a sacred river, which is in turn symbolically linked with the sun's passage. Taken together, these features meant that Machu Picchu formed a cosmological, hydrological, and sacred geological center for a vast region.

Diffuse Scattering and Defect Structure Simulations

A cook book using the program DISCUS

By: Reinhard B. Neder,Thomas Proffen

In recent years it has become apparent that knowing the average atomic structure of materials is insufficient to understand their properties. Diffuse scattering in addition to the Bragg scattering holds the key to learning about defects in materials, the topic of many recent books. What has been missing is a detailed step-by-step guide how to simulate disordered materials. The DISCUS cook book fills this need covering simple topics such as building a computer crystal to complex topic such as domain structures, stacking faults or using advanced refinement techniques to adjust parameters on a disordered model. The book contains a CDROM with all files needed to recreate every example given using the program DISCUS. The reader is free to follow the principles behind simulating disordered materials or to get down into the details and run or modify the given examples.

The Samaritans

A Profile

By: Reinhard Pummer

Most people associate the term "Samaritan" exclusively with the New Testament stories about the Good Samaritan and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. Very few are aware that a small community of about 750 Samaritans still lives today in Palestine and Israel; they view themselves as the true Israelites, having resided in their birthplace for thousands of years and preserving unchanged the revelation given to Moses in the Torah. Reinhard Pummer, one of the world's foremost experts on Samaritanism, offers in this book a comprehensive introduction to the people identified as Samaritans in both biblical and nonbiblical sources. Besides analyzing the literary, epigraphic, and archaeological sources, he examines the Samaritans' history, their geographical distribution, their version of the Pentateuch, their rituals and customs, and their situation today.

Editorial Techniques in the Hebrew Bible

Toward a Refined Literary Criticism

By: Reinhard Müller,Juha Pakkala

Editorial Techniques in the Hebrew Bible: Toward a Refined Literary Criticism presents and applies a model for understanding and reconstructing the diachronic development of the Hebrew Bible through historical criticism (or the historical-critical method). Reinhard Müller and Juha Pakkala refine the methodologies of literary and redaction criticism through a systematic investigation of the evidence of additions, omissions, replacements, and transpositions that are documented by divergent ancient textual traditions. At stake is not only historical criticism but also the Hebrew Bible as a historical source, for historical criticism has been and continues to be the only method to unwind those scribal changes that left no traces in textual variants.

Ice Maiden

Inca Mummies, Mountain Gods, and Sacred Sites in the Andes

By: Johan Reinhard

Johan Reinhard's discovery of the 500-year-old frozen body of an Inca girl made international headlines in 1995, reaching more than a billion people worldwide. One of the best-preserved mummies ever found, it was a stunning and significant time capsule, the spectacular climax to an Andean quest that yielded no fewer than ten ancient human sacrifices as well as the richest collection of Inca artifacts in archaeological history. Here is the paperback edition of his first-person account, which The Washington Post called "incredible…compelling and often astonishing" and The Wall Street Journal described as "… part adventure story, part detective story, and part memoir—an engaging look at a rarefied world." It's a riveting combination of mountaineering adventure, archaeological triumph, academic intrigue, and scientific breakthrough which has produced important results ranging from the best-preserved DNA of its age to the first complete set of an Inca noblewoman's clothing. At once a vivid personal story, a treasure trove of new insights on the lives and culture of the Inca, and a fascinating glimpse of cutting-edge research in fields as varied as biology, botany, pathology, ornithology and history, The Ice Maiden is as spellbinding and unforgettable as the long-dead but still vital young woman at its heart.

Beiträge zur Geschichte der Literaturvermittlung ; Festschrift für Reinhard Wittmann

By: Reinhard Wittmann

Buchkulturen greift Interessensgebiete Reinhard Wittmanns auf und erweitert diese um internationale Perspektiven. Ein erster Schwerpunkt wird gesetzt mit Beitragen zur Theorie und Methode der Buchwissenschaft, in denen die Bedeutung der kulturgeschichtlichen Grundierung, die zentrale Rolle der Kategorie der Offentlichkeit oder die Interdependenz von Kultur und Geld reflektiert werden. Neben den methodenkritischen Beitragen umfasst der Band eine Fulle von Analysen bislang ungenutzter Quellen: Exemplarische Studien setzen sich mit der Verbreitung spanischer Konsumliteratur der dreissiger Jahre auf dem deutschen Markt oder mit pikanten, obrigkeitlich uberwachten Schlusselromanen aus Versailles auseinander. Eine andere Facette reprasentiert der Nachdruck, der in einigen deutschen Territorien zum wirkungsvollsten Transportmittel fur die neueste Literatur wurde. Weitere Schwerpunkte setzen Themen zum literarischen Leben um 1800, vor allem aber zum 20. Jahrhundert: Das Spektrum der Studien reicht von der ideologischen Instrumentalisierung uber die politische Zensur bis zum Gedenken an mutigen Widerstand gegen Unterdruckung. Die kulturelle Vielfalt der Moderne spiegelt sich in den medialen Kontexten von Zeitschrift oder Film und im zeichenhaften Gebrauch von Buchern in der Hochkultur wie in der Alltagskultur. Schliesslich werden die Traditionen des Bewahrens und Buchersammelns vom 18. bis ins 20. Jahrhundert aufgezeigt. Der Sammelband integriert so in einem reprasentativen Querschnitt aktuelle buchwissenschaftliche Ansatze, von denen auf zukunftige Forschungen vielfaltige Impulse ausgehen konnen.
