CARDIAC VALVE ALLOGRAFTS (HOMOGRAFTS) highlights the current controversy about freehand subcoronary aortic valve and root replacement with regard to postoperative morbidity and long term durability. It discusses particular implantation techniques of preference in young patients and in different root pathology. Other chapters address intermediate- and long-term results on cardiac valve and vascular homografts for treating complicating cardiac valve and aortic infections. The chapter on basic science additionally makes this book a highly authoritative reference source for cardiac surgeons, physicians and scientists. This work provides a current survey of the state-of-the-art.
The first book to aid in the understanding of multiconfigurational quantum chemistry, Multiconfigurational Quantum Chemistry demystifies a subject that has historically been considered difficult to learn. Accessible to any reader with a background in quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry, the book contains illustrative examples showing how these methods can be used in various areas of chemistry, such as chemical reactions in ground and excited states, transition metal and other heavy element systems. The authors detail the drawbacks and limitations of DFT and coupled-cluster based methods and offer alternative, wavefunction-based methods more suitable for smaller molecules.
Developments in medieval science that elevated sight above the other senses found religious expression in the Christian emphasis on miracles, relics, and elaborate structures. In his incisive survey of Gothic art and architecture, Roland Recht argues that this preoccupation with vision as a key to religious knowledge profoundly affected a broad range of late medieval works. In addition to the great cathedrals of France, Recht explores key religious buildings throughout Europe to reveal how their grand designs supported this profusion of images that made visible the signs of scripture. Metalworkers, for example, fashioned intricate monstrances and reliquaries for the presentation of sacred articles, and technical advances in stained glass production allowed for more expressive renderings of holy objects. Sculptors, meanwhile, created increasingly naturalistic works and painters used multihued palettes to enhance their subjects’ lifelike qualities. Reimagining these works as a link between devotional practices in the late Middle Ages and contemporaneous theories that deemed vision the basis of empirical truth, Recht provides students and scholars with a new and powerful lens through which to view Gothic art and architecture.
Bainton presents the many strands that made up the Reformation in a single, brilliantly coherent account. He discusses the background for Luther's irreparable breach with the Church and its ramifications for 16th Century Europe, giving thorough accounts of the Diet of Worms, the institution of the Holy Commonwealth of Geneva, Henry VIII's break with Rome, and William the Silent's struggle for Dutch independence.
Diese Ausgabe von "Ballade am Strom" wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Aus dem Buch: "Wie tief es mich nun bewegt, da ich mich anschicke, dir zu schreiben. Mir ist, ich dürfe nicht viele Worte machen, um dir einleitend zu erklären, warum ich hier im Rheinwald hause, einsam geworden aus der Erkenntnis heraus, ich bedürfe jetzt keiner Menschen, sondern nur des wandernden Stromes, der rauschenden Bäume, der Winde und Wolken und des wilden Getiers, das mich umgibt; ich bedürfe nur dieser Wesen und Dinge und des Alleinseins, um das vollenden zu können, was mich erfüllt und was für dich ein Wegweiser sein soll in die Heimat, die du im Groll verlassen hast, aus Überdruß an den Menschen und aus Abscheu vor Lüge und Verrat. Ein Versuch, aus Zeitenwandel und Schicksal eines unglückseligen Landes heraus das Wesen und die dunklen Regungen der Menschenbrust, ja selbst das Verbrechen und den Wankelmut des Herzens zu erklären und mit seinen trüben Folgen milde zu verzeihen, wissend um alle Nöte und um die Zerrissenheit der menschlichen Kreatur, ein solcher Versuch, unternommen aus schlummernder Liebe zu allem, was lebt und atmet, sich ängstigt und freut, auftaucht ins Licht und versinkt in die Schwärze, soll für dich zur Geste des Mitleidens werden und dir die innere Größe geben, mit lächelndem Schauen über Menschen und Ereignissen zu stehen und deine Heimat, gerade wegen ihres zertretenen und geschändeten Schicksals, ihrer Menschenmischung aus Gut und Böse, um so stärker zu lieben. Roland Betsch (1888-1945) war ein deutscher Ingenieur, Schriftsteller, Erzähler und Dramatiker.
This first comprehensive description of the most important material properties and device aspects closes the gap between general books on solar cells and journal articles on chalcogenide-based photovoltaics. Written by two very renowned authors with years of practical experience in the field, the book covers II-VI and I-III-VI2 materials as well as energy conversion at heterojunctions. It also discusses the latest semiconductor heterojunction models and presents modern analysis concepts. Thin film technology is explained with an emphasis on current and future techniques for mass production, and the book closes with a compendium of failure analysis in photovoltaic thin film modules. With its overview of the semiconductor physics and technology needed, this practical book is ideal for students, researchers, and manufacturers, as well as for the growing number of engineers and researchers working in companies and institutes on chalcogenide photovoltaics.
