With regard to both the environmental sustainability and operating efficiency demands, modern combustion research has to face two main objectives, the optimization of combustion efficiency and the reduction of pollutants. This book reports on the combustion research activities carried out within the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 568 “Flow and Combustion in Future Gas Turbine Combustion Chambers” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). This aimed at designing a completely integrated modeling and numerical simulation of the occurring very complex, coupled and interacting physico-chemical processes, such as turbulent heat and mass transport, single or multi-phase flows phenomena, chemical reactions/combustion and radiation, able to support the development of advanced gas turbine chamber concepts

This book comprises the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computational Engineering (ICCE 2017), held in Darmstadt, Germany on September 28-29, 2017. The conference is intended to provide an interdisciplinary meeting place for researchers and practitioners working on computational methods in all disciplines of engineering, applied mathematics and computer science. The aims of the conference are to discuss the state of the art in this challenging field, exchange experiences, develop promising perspectives for future research and initiate further cooperation. Computational Engineering is a modern and multidisciplinary science for computer-based modeling, simulation, analysis, and optimization of complex engineering applications and natural phenomena. The book contains an overview of selected approaches from numerics and optimization of Partial Differential Equations as well as uncertainty quantification techniques, typically in multiphysics environments. Where possible, application cases from engineering are integrated. The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners of Computational Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Engineering Sciences and Computer Science.

Available for the first time in English language translation, this is the long-awaited second volume of the three part set on Totalitarianism and Political Religions, edited by the eminent Professor Hans Maier. This represents a major study, with contributions from leading scholars of political extremism, sociology and modern history, the book shows how new models for understanding political history arose from the experience of modern despotic regimes. We are used to distinguishing the despotic regimes of the twentieth century - Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, Maoism - very precisely according to place and time, origins and influences. But what should we call that which they have in common? On this question, there has been, and still is, a passionate debate. Indeed, the question seemed for a long time not even to be admissible. Clearly this state of affairs is unsatisfactory. The debate has been renewed in the past few years. After the collapse of the communist systems in Central, East and Southern Europe, a (scarcely surveyable) mass of archival material has become available. Following the lead of Fascism and National Socialism, communist and socialist regimes throughout the world now belong to the historical past as well. This leads to the resumption of old questions: what place do modern despotisms assume in the history of the twentieth century? What is their relation to one another? Should they be captured using traditional concepts – autocracy, tyranny, despotism, dictatorship – or are new concepts required? Here, the most important concepts - totalitarianism and political religions - are discussed and tested in terms of their usefulness. This set of volumes is as topical and relevant to current world events in the twenty first century.

Totalitarianism and Political Religions, Volume II

This book shows how new models by which to understand political history arose from the experience of modern despotic regimes. Here, the totalitarianism and political religions - are discussed and tested in terms of their usefulness.

Endlich nun die Fortsetzung des Buches 'Touch me, Coach' in dem es um das jugendlichen Schwimmass Evan geht, der die Liebe zu Louis, seinem eigentlich heterosexuellen Schwimmtrainer, noch immer nicht aufgeben kann und wird! Doch noch immer wird es nicht leichter für den kämpfenden Jungen. Im Gegenteil, denn sein bester Freund Dylan, als auch Toms Bruder Steve beginnen nun offensiv um Evans Herz zu streiten. Aber das ist noch nicht alles! Evan, der einmal durch den One-Night-Stand mit Dylan Blut geleckt hat, kann immer weniger seine kindlichen Sichtweisen aufrecht erhalten. Er ist umgeben von jungen durchtrainierten Männern, die für den SV Bergfeld ins Rennen gegen den Blutsrivalen KSV Gotteshagen geschickt werden. Sie gehen gemeinsam duschen, trainieren gemeinsam und bei jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit senden sie erotische Signale für den hin und her geworfenen Evan aus, der in der Flut seiner neuen Gedankenwelt unterzugehen droht. Das Sommerturnier des KSV rückt immer näher und Louis hat nicht vor, dieses Sommerfest ohne seine Schwimmer stattfinden zu lassen. Unerheblich, welche Höllen Evan durchzustehen hat.Ob Evan sich diesen Herausforderungen stellen kann? Wer wird am Ende das Rennen um Evans Herz machen? Wird es gar Louis sein, der seine vielen Bedenken über Bord werfen kann und endlich Evan das erlösende 'Ja, ich will!' mitteilt?

Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia Decreases Endotoxin-induced Endothelial Injury

Christoph Stein

Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume. It covers topics such as brain-immune interactions, the impact of stress on the immune response, pain and immunosuppression, the modulation of inflammation and pain by the sympathetic nervous system, consequences of nerve injury for the immune system, neuronal mechanisms of immune cell recruitment, and the modulation of the immune response by corticotropin-releasing hormone or adenosine. The authors are a unique group of scientists who are all interested in brain-to-immune interactions; however, each from a different perspective. The volume will serve both neurobiologists and immunologists to understand the influence of the central nervous system on peripheral inflammation. Many aspects of this book will also be stimulating for researchers in the pain field.

We are able to distinguish the despotic regimes of the 20th century from one another, but what do we call that which they held in common? This text documents the first international conference to discuss this question, held at the University of Munich in 1994.
