![]() Free Download Germans in the Antarctic by Cornelia Lüdecke English | EPUB | 2021 | 290 Pages | ISBN : 3030409236 | 101 MB While science was usually at the forefront of German Antarctic expeditions, research into the Southern Polar region always had a political or economic component, whether it was about resource use or securing areas of influence. ![]() Free Download Gerhard Mercator als Theologe By Nieden, Marcel 2014 | 91 Pages | ISBN: 3428141091 | PDF | 1 MB Das Verhältnis von Religion und Naturwissenschaft in der Frühen Neuzeit ist komplex. Religiöse Prägungen und Interessen konnten dem naturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisfortschritt entgegenstehen, sie konnten naturwissenschaftliche Forschungen aber auch - wie bei Gerhard Mercator (1512-1594) - anregen, ja geradezu fordern. Die Vorlesung zeichnet die religiöse Biographie des gelehrten Kartographen nach und erkundet anhand der Quellen dessen theologisches Denken. Dabei wird deutlich, dass sich Gerhard Mercator, vergleichbar seinen jüngeren Zeitgenossen Galileo Galilei oder Johannes Kepler, nicht einfach einer bestimmten Konfession zuordnen lässt, sondern in Orientierung an einer humanistisch geprägten Geist-Religion divergente Vorstellungen zu einer spannungsreichen Einheit verband. ![]() Free Download Gerechtigkeit als Die Unruh im Uhrwerk: Debatten, Gespräche, Aufsätze zu Rechtstheorie, Rechtslinguistik und Methodik, zu Verfassungslehre und Verfassungsvergleichung By Müller, Friedrich 2009 | 281 Pages | ISBN: 3428129466 | PDF | 1 MB Die Texte dieses Bandes sind im Rahmen der deutschsprachigen Rechtswissenschaft ganz überwiegend unveröffentlicht: Aufsätze zur vergleichenden Verfassungsdogmatik; zur Theorie und Interpretation der nationalen und internationalen Menschenrechte; zu einer materialistischen Sicht auf Verfassung, Gesellschaft, Demokratie; zum emphatisch verstandenen Kern von Demokratie und Republik. Ferner wurden aus den Interviews, Debatten und Gesprächen hier einige ausgewählt: zum Streit um die Möglichkeit einer marxistischen Rechtstheorie; zu den Grundlagen juristischer Methodik; zur noch jungen Disziplin der Rechtslinguistik; zu Praktischer Semantik und Strukturierender Rechtslehre; ferner zu Entstehung und wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Verortung dieser theoretischen Position und zum Praxis-, Demokratie- und Politikbezug ihrer einzelnen Arbeitsfelder; schließlich zu Streitfragen der gegenwärtigen Rechtstheorie im Zwiegespräch zwischen Forschern aus Deutschland und den Vereinigten Staaten: Diskussionen, reich an Material und gedanklichen Ansätzen - in der gemeinsamen Zuversicht, Klärung durch Kontroverse und Verdichtung durch Dialog zu erreichen.Was betreibt den Rechtsbetrieb, was treibt ihn an? Es sind Triebe (nach Macht, nach Gütern) und also Konflikte. Auf etwas anderes zielt die Frage: Was beunruhigt die Welt des Rechts? Es ist das Bedürfnis nach Gerechtigkeit inmitten der Konflikte, nach Gegengewichten gegen das "Recht" (die Übermacht) des Stärkeren. Das Paradox besteht darin, dass es gerade die "Unruh" ist, die das Uhrwerk regelnd in Gang hält - das Uhrwerk als einen Betrieb des Rechts und nicht nur als eine Mechanik von Macht. In "Rechtsbetrieb" steckt eben auch "Recht".In diesem Buch geht es - unter all diesen Perspektiven - um das reale Recht und darum, es zu verstehen - das Recht, in dessen Räderwerk das Bedürfnis nach Gerechtigkeit den Platz der Unruh einnimmt.Aus dem Vorwort des Verfassers ![]() Free Download Geotechnical Engineering by Pardeep Kumar Gupta, R.

Reductively stereotyped in his time as a "woman's director"―a thinly veiled, disparaging code for "gay"―he brilliantly directed a wide range of iconic actors and actresses, including Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, Spencer Tracy, Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, and Maggie Smith. As Katharine Hepburn, the star of ten Cukor films, told the director, "All the people in your pictures are as goddamned good as they can possibly be, and that's your stamp." ![]() Free Download Geophysical Approach to Marine Coastal Ecology: The Case of Iriomote Island, Japan by Shinya Shimokawa English | EPUB | 2020 | 271 Pages | ISBN : 9811511284 | 113.50 MB This book presents recent results of collaborative studies in geophysics and ecology, focusing on the relationship between the physical environment and the distribution of the marine coastal ecosystems. The study area, the Sakiyamawan-Amitoriwan nature conservation area in Iriomote Island of Japan, is the only oceanic nature conservation area in the country. ![]() Free Download Geometry-Driven Diffusion in Computer Vision by Bart M. Haar Romeny English | PDF | 1994 | 461 Pages | ISBN : 0792330870 | 43.5 MB Scale is a concept the antiquity of which can hardly be traced. Certainly the familiar phenomena that accompany sc ale changes in optical patterns are mentioned in the earliest written records. The most obvious topological changes such as the creation or annihilation of details have been a topic to philosophers, artists and later scientists. This appears to of fascination be the case for all cultures from which extensive written records exist. For th instance, chinese 17 c artist manuals remark that "distant faces have no eyes" . The merging of details is also obvious to many authors, e. g. , Lucretius mentions the fact that distant islands look like a single one. The one topo logical event that is (to the best of my knowledge) mentioned only late (by th John Ruskin in his "Elements of drawing" of the mid 19 c) is the splitting of a blob on blurring. The change of images on a gradual increase of resolu tion has been a recurring theme in the arts (e. g. , the poetic description of the distant armada in Calderon's The Constant Prince) and this "mystery" (as Ruskin calls it) is constantly exploited by painters. ![]() Free Download Geometry and Theoretical Physics by Joachim Debrus, Allen C. Hirshfeld English | PDF | 333 Pages | ISBN : 3642763553 | 39.5 MB The interaction between geometry and theoretical physics has often been very fruitful. A highlight in this century was Einstein's creation of the theory of general relativity. Equally impressive was the recognition, starting from the work of Yang and Mills and culminating in the Weinberg-Salam theory of the electroweak interaction and quantum chromodynamics, that the fundamental interactions of elementary particles are governed by gauge fields, which in ma thematical terms are connections in principal fibre bundles. Theoretical physi cists became increasingly aware of the fact that the use of modern mathematical methods may be necessary in the treatment of problems of physical interest. Since some of these topics are covered at most summarily in the usual curricu lum, there is a need for extra-curricular efforts to provide an opportunity for learning these techniques and their physical applications. In this context we arranged a meeting at the Physikzentrum Bad Ronnef 12-16 February 1990 on the subject "Geometry and Theoretical Physics", in the series of physics schools organized by the German Physical Society. The participants were graduate students from German universities and research institutes. Since the meeting occurred only a short time after freedom of travel between East and West Germany became a reality, this was for many from the East the first opportunity to attend a scientific meeting in the West, and for many from the West the first chance to become personally acquainted with colleagues from the East. ![]() Free Download Geometry: Our Cultural Heritage by Audun Holme English | PDF | 2002 | 384 Pages | ISBN : 3642075460 | 31.3 MB This book is based on lectures on geometry at the University of Bergen, Norway. Over the years these lectures have covered many different aspects and facets ofthis wonderful field.Consequently it has ofcourse never been possible to give a full and final account ofgeometry as such, at an undergraduate level: A carefully considered selection has always been necessary.The present book constitutes the main central themes of these selections. One of the groups I am aiming at, is future teachers of mathematics. All too often the geometry which goes into the syllabus for teacher-students present the material as pedantic and formalistic, suppressing the very pow erful and dynamic character of this old - and yet so young! - field. A field of mathematical insight, research, history and source of artistic inspiration. And not least important, a foundation for our common cultural heritage. Another motivation is to provide an invitation to mathematics in gen eral. It is an unfortunate fact that today, at a time when mathematics and knowledge of mathematics is more important than ever, phrases like math avoidance and math anxiety are very much in the public vocabulary. An im portant task is seriously attempting to heal these ills. Ills perhaps inflicted on students at an early age, through deficient or even harmful teaching prac tices. Thus the book also aims at an informed public, interested in making a new beginning in math. And in doing so, learning more about this part of our cultural heritage. ![]() Free Download Geometric Properties for Parabolic and Elliptic PDE's by Rolando Magnanini, Shigeru Sakaguchi, Angelo Alvino English | PDF (True) | 2013 | 294 Pages | ISBN : 884702840X | 3.2 MB The study of qualitative aspects of PDE's has always attracted much attention from the early beginnings. More recently, once basic issues about PDE's, such as existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions, have been understood quite well, research on topological and/or geometric properties of their solutions has become more intense. The study of these issues is attracting the interest of an increasing number of researchers and is now a broad and well-established research area, with contributions that often come from experts from disparate areas of mathematics, such as differential and convex geometry, functional analysis, calculus of variations, mathematical physics, to name a few. |
