 Free Download Johannes Van Oort, "Augustine's Confessions: Ten Studies " English | ISBN: 900468588X | 2024 | 268 pages | PDF | 2 MB New readings and interpretations of many of the most essential passages in Augustine's Confessions, mainly based on new discoveries of Gnostic-Manichaean texts.  Free Download Aufbruch ins globale Zeitalter: Die Handelswelt der Fugger und Welser Deutsch | 2016 | ISBN: 380623342X | 256 Seiten | PDF (True) | 7 MB Fugger und Welser gehörten zu den bedeutendsten Handelshäusern des 16. Jahrhunderts einer Zeit, in der sich für den europäischen Fernhandel durch die Expansion der Portugiesen nach Asien und die spanischen Eroberungen in Amerika neue Perspektiven eröffneten. Bereits 1505 beteiligten sich beide Handelshäuser an einer portugiesischen Indienfahrt. Wichtiger noch war die Rolle der Augsburger Handelshäuser als Anbieter und Vermittler globaler Güter: Sie stellten für den europäischen Asienhandel Kupfer und Silber bereit, vermarkteten asiatische Gewürze in Europa, beteiligten sich am Aufbau der Zuckerplantagenwirtschaft im atlantischen Raum, handelten mit amerikanischen Perlen und indischen Diamanten und lieferten Quecksilber an mexikanische Silberbergwerke.  Free Download Andreas Krumwiede, "Attachment Theory According to John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth" English | 2014 | ISBN: 365661377X | EPUB | pages: 20 | 0.6 mb Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology, grade: 1,7, University of the Arts Berlin, language: English, abstract: I will first provide a brief historical outline of the origin and development of attachment theory, closely linked to the biographical data of its founder John Bowlby. Later I would like to point out some characteristics based on which the attachment of a person can be classified. I believe this information to be important with regard to teaching, since the teacher is acting in the environment between the institution of school, family and child. I would like to include some of the approaches in which this knowledge could be used in an everyday school setting.  Free Download Atrocity Fabrication and Its Consequences: How Fake News Shapes World Order by A. B. Abrams English | March 15, 2023 | ISBN: 194976270X | 424 pages | MOBI | 1.23 Mb Atrocity fabrication - the invention and reporting of atrocities committed by an adversary without knowledge that they ever occurred - has a centuries-long history at the heart of propaganda and power politics as an effective means of moving public and international opinion. Its use can provide pretext for a range of hostile measures against its targets, transforming in the public eye wars of unprovoked aggression into wars of liberation of the oppressed, or turning blockades to starve enemy civilians into humane efforts to pressure abusive governments under the moralistic label of sanctions. As it plays a large and growing role in global conflict in the 21st century understanding atrocity fabrication and the consistent means by and ends to which it has been used has become crucial to comprehending geopolitical events in the present day.  Free Download Atoms, Solids, and Plasmas in Super-Intense Laser Fields by Dimitri Batani, Charles J. Joachain, Sergio Martellucci, Arthur N. Chester English | PDF | 2001 | 409 Pages | ISBN : 0306466155 | 46 MB The recent developement of high power lasers, delivering femtosecond pulses of 20 2 intensities up to 10 W/cm , has led to the discovery of new phenomena in laser interactions with matter. At these enormous laser intensities, atoms, and molecules are exposed to extreme conditions and new phenomena occur, such as the very rapid multi photon ionization of atomic systems, the emission by these systems of very high order harmonics of the exciting laser light, the Coulomb explosion of molecules, and the acceleration of electrons close to the velocity of light. These phenomena generate new behaviour of bulk matter in intense laser fields, with great potential for wide ranging applications which include the study of ultra-fast processes, the development of high-frequency lasers, and the investigation of the properties of plasmas and condensed matter under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. In particular, the concept of the "fast ignitor" approach to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has been proposed, which is based on the separation of the compression and the ignition phases in laser-driven ICF. The aim of this course on "Atom, Solids and Plasmas in Super-Intense Laser fields" was to bring together senior researchers and students in atomic and molecular physics, laser physics, condensed matter and plasma physics, in order to review recent developments in high-intensity laser-matter interactions. The course was held at the Ettore Majorana International Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice from July 8 to July 14,2000.
 Free Download Atoms, Molecules and Photons: An Introduction to Atomic- Molecular- and Quantum Physics by Wolfgang Demtröder English | PDF (True) | 2006 | 578 Pages | ISBN : 3540206310 | 10.2 MB This introduction to Atomic and Molecular Physics explains how our present model of atoms and molecules has been developed during the last two centuries by many experimental discoveries and from the theoretical side by the introduction of quantum physics to the adequate description of micro-particles. It illustrates the wave model of particles by many examples and shows the limits of classical description. The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules and its potential for spectroscopy is outlined in more detail and in particular lasers as modern spectroscopic tools are discussed more thoroughly. Many examples and problems with solutions should induce the reader to an intense active cooperation.  Free Download Atoms and Molecules in Strong External Fields by P. Schmelcher, W. Schweizer English | PDF | 2002 | 330 Pages | ISBN : 030645811X | 10.3 MB This book contains contributions to the 172. WE-Heraeus-Seminar "Atoms and Molecules in Strong External Fields," which took place April 7-11 1997 at the Phys- zentrum Bad Honnef (Germany). The designation "strong fields" applies to external static magnetic, and/or electric fields that are sufficiently intense to cause alterations in the atomic or molecular str- ture and dynamics. The specific topics treated are the behavior and properties of atoms in strong static fields, the fundamental aspects and electronic structure of molecules in strong magnetic fields, the dynamics and aspects of chaos in highly excited R- berg atoms in external fields, matter in the atmosphere of astrophysical objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars), and quantum nanostructures in strong magnetic fields. It is obvious that the elaboration of the corresponding properties in these regimes causes the greatest difficulties, and is incomplete even today. Present-day technology has made it possible for many research groups to study the behavior of matter in strong external fields, both experimentally and theore- cally, where the phrase "experimentally" includes the astronomical observations. - derstanding these systems requires the development of modern theories and powerful computational techniques. Interdisciplinary collaborations will be helpful and useful in developing more efficient methods to understand these important systems. Hence the idea was to bring together people from different fields like atomic and molecular physics, theoretical chemistry, astrophysics and all those colleagues interested in aspects of few-body systems in external fields.
 Free Download Atomic and Quantum Physics: An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Experiment and Theory by Hermann Haken , Hans Christoph Wolf English | PDF | 1984 | 402 Pages | ISBN : 3642968155 | 37 MB A thorough knowledge of the physics of atoms and quanta is clearly a must for every student of physics but also for students of neighbouring disciplines such as chemistry and electrical engineering. What these students especially need is a coherent presenta tion of both the experimental and the theoretical aspects of atomic and quantum physics. Indeed, this field could evolve only through the intimate interaction between ingenious experiments and an equally ingenious development of bold new ideas. It is well known that the study of the microworld of atoms caused a revolution of physical thought, and fundamental ideas of classical physics, such as those on measur ability, had to be abandoned. But atomic and quantum physics is not only a fascinating field with respect to the development of far-reaching new physical ideas. It is also of enormous importance as a basis for other fields. For instance, it provides chemistry with a conceptual basis through the quantum theory of chemical bonding. Modern solid-state physics, with its numerous applications in communication and computer technology, rests on the fundamental concepts first developed in atomic and quantum physics. Among the many other important technical applications we mention just the laser, a now widely used light source which produces light whose physical nature is quite different from that of conventional lamps. In this book we have tried to convey to the reader some of the fascination which atomic and quantum physics still gives a physicist studying this field.  Free Download Atomic Photoeffect by M. Ya. Amusia English | PDF | 1990 | 320 Pages | ISBN : 0306435489 | 29.7 MB This book is devoted to the investigation of a rather prevalent process in nature: interaction of atoms with electromagnetic radiation. Primary attention is given to the low and intermediate photon energy region, from tens to hundreds of electron-volts. It is in this region that the probability of photon absorption and photoionization is largest. Data in this energy region are very interesting and useful in astrophysics and plasma physics, solid-state physics and quantum electronics, and in a number of other branches of science and technical applications. Formulae for hydrogen atom photoionization are given in almost all textbooks on quantum mechanics. Together with the limited amounts of experimental data available up to the beginning of the sixties, the formulae gave an impression of the completeness of the study of photoionization, of the absolute clarity of the mechanism of the process, and of the possibility of calculating rather easily its probability using the formulae.  Free Download Atomic Inner-Shell Physics by Bernd Crasemann English | PDF | 1985 | 760 Pages | ISBN : 146129472X | 61.6 MB The physics of atomic inner shells has undergone significant advances in recent years. Fast computers and new experimental tools, notably syn chrotron-radiation sources and heavy-ion accelerators, have greatly enhan ced the scope of problems that are accessible. The level of research activity is growing substantially; added incentives are provided by the importance of inner-shell processes in such diverse areas as plasma studies, astrophysics, laser technology, biology, medicine, and materials science. The main reason for all this exciting activity in atomic inner-shell physics, to be sure, lies in the significance of the fundamental problems that are coming within grasp. The large energies of many inner-shell processes cause relativistic and quantum-electrodynamic effects to become strong. Unique opportunities exist for delicate tests of such phenomena as the screening of the electron self-energy and the limits of validity of the present form of the frequency-dependent Breit interaction, to name but two. The many-body problem, which pervades virtually all of physics, presents somewhat less intractable aspects in the atomic inner-shell regime: correlations are relatively weak so that they can be treated perturbatively, and the basic potential is simple and known! The dynamics of inner-shell processes are characterized by exceedingly short lifetimes and high transition rates that strain perturbation theory to its limits and obliterate the traditional separation of excitation and deexcitation. These factors are only now being explored, as are interference phenomena between the various channels. |
