Das vorliegende Werk ist in erster Linie fur Bergleute be- stimmt und soll diesen Gelegenheit geben, sich uber das Gebiet der Sprengstoffe und der Zundung der Sprengschusse in einem flir die bergmannische Praxis genugenden Umfange zu unter- richten. Die Abschnitte uber Sicherheits sprengstoffe und elektrische Schufszundung sind besonders eingehend behandelt, da sie flir Steinkohlengruben 1m Hinblick auf die Schlagwetter- und Kohlenstaubgefahr eine hervorragende Wichtigkeit besitzen. UEbrigens fehlt gerade flir diese Abschnitte, obwohl sie in vielen verstreuten Einzelaufsatzen bearbeitet sind, eine flir Bergleute geeignete zusammenfassende Darstellung. Da die Sprengarbeit nicht allein auf den Bergbau beschrankt ist, wird das Buch ferner allen denjenigen als wissenschaftliches Hilfsmittel und Nachschlagewerk dienen koennen, die regelmafsig mit der Handhabung und dem Gebrauche von Sprengstoffen zu tun haben, insbesondere also den Offizieren der technischen Waffengattungen, den Tunnelbautechnikern und den Besitzern und Leitern von Steinbruchen. Um den Bedurfnissen der Praxis entgegen zu kommen, sind fur die verschiedenen Sprengstoffe und Zundmittel zumeist die Bezugsquellen angegeben. Veraltetes und UEberholtes ist als solches hervorgehoben. Ich hoffe, dafs das Buch nicht allein in den genannten Kreisen, sondern auch bei den Technikern der Sprengstoff- und Zundmittelindustrie selbst geneigte Aufnahme finden wird. Wenn in dem Buche auch ein naheres Eingehen auf die Herstellung der Sprengstoffe vermieden ist, so mufs doch der Sprengstoff- * Vorwort.

Presenting papers from two International Lychnological Association (ILA) Round Tables, this volume provides an extensive look at the technological development of lighting and lighting devices during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages in Western Europe and Byzantium. A time of major economic, geopolitical and social changes, there were also radical modifications in lighting devices, as terracotta mold-made lamps, very common throughout the earlier days of the Roman Empire, were replaced by devices that used glass containers to hold oil, candles made of beeswax, and metals to create a wide variety of holders for the newer glass lamp vessels and candles. Discussions included such diverse subjects as lighting devices used in medieval times in Scandinavian mines, the Byzantine use of light for long-distance signaling, castle illumination, polykandela designs and the spiritual significance of light. The scholars used as their source material not only artifacts from museums and excavated contexts, but also written sources and depictions of lighting devices on mosaics, frescos, icons, textiles and manuscripts to help complete their notions about lighting in these eras. The majority of the twenty-nine papers published in this volume were presented at the third International Round Table under the title 'Dark Ages? History and archaeology of lighting devices in Continental Europe, from late Antiquity to late Medieval Ages' in Olten, Switzerland in September 2007 and at the fourth International Round Table under the title 'Lighting in Byzantium' in Thessaloniki, Greece in October 2011. In many cases the length of each paper is a clear reflection of how little or well-studied the presented topic is. A few discussions on some artifacts dated after 1500 AD are included because they represent and reflect the technological evolution of lighting related to the Middle Ages. Both ILA Round Tables considered the use of lighting devices in everyday and ecclesiastical life and discussed their many aspects, including their terminology, typology, chronology, manufacturing techniques, and symbolic functions. The great breadth of lighting technologies available in those 'Dark Ages' becomes apparent through the diversity of the discussions, which reflect the great variety of materials used to create lighting devices.

In the climate-controlled buildings of today, moisture problems affect not only the useable life expectancy of the structure, but the comfort and health of the occupants. This reference is the first to apply up-to-date moisture control and treatment techniques in a problem/solution format. Opening with an introductory explanation of the nature and causes of mold, mildew, and condensation, the book gives specific advice on heated, cooled, and combination environments, plus a short course in the dynamics of moisture movement within buildings. Other invaluable coverage includes:

  • clear, detailed recommended practices for all United States climates
  • practices for cooling as well as heating climates (often, heating climate solutions are applied in cooling climates, where problems and solutions are completely different)
  • an overall, systematic view of moisture problems—including how mechanical systems and occupant lifestyles can create and also resolve moisture problems
  • actual case studies of buildings with moisture problems that illustrate the principles and practices presented in the book
This detailed, no-nonsense exploration of moisture cause and effect—as well as its protection and remediation—will expand readers’ knowledge on this crucial subject. Moisture Control Handbook will be welcomed by building contractors, architects, mechanical engineers, building science researchers, building product manufacturers, homeowners, and small commercial building owners.

Die Autoren untersuchen die Voraussetzungen fur eine erfolgreiche Vergabestrategie bei Grossprojekten. Zunachst analysieren sie die Risiken fur die am Bau Beteiligten und stellen Varianten dar, wie Planungs- und Bauleistungen zu vergeben sind. Danach werden die Moeglichkeiten und Grenzen von in jungerer Zeit "in Mode gekommenen" Vergabemodellen, insbesondere die Vergabe mit Garantiertem Maximalpreis bzw. die Beauftragung von Construction Managern, diskutiert. Hierauf und auf einer Analyse der typischen Struktur eines (grossen) Bauprojekts aufbauend, wird ein Vergabemodell entwickelt, das einerseits den Risiken der Baubeteiligten Rechnung tragt, andererseits dem Bauherrn die erforderliche Flexibilitat belasst. So kann er in einem kompetitiven Umfeld ein seinen Vorstellungen bezuglich Kosten, Qualitaten und Terminen entsprechendes Bauvorhaben realisieren.

This book introduces magnetic bearings--mechatronic devices that produce contact-free electromagnetic force to support a load, such as a moving train or a spinning rotor. Compared to traditional bearings, magnetic bearings offer several advantages: no friction, low heat generation, no required lubrication, quiet operation, and fast and stable rotation. For these reasons, magnetic bearings have been used in rotary ventricular assist devices (VADs) to increase design life, reduce or eliminate material wear and bearing maintenance, as well as to increase biocompatibility by eliminating high fluid stresses and heat generation, both of which are associated with hemolysis, platelet activation and aggregation, and thrombus growth. The book covers the principles of these bearings, how they are used in integrated control and electronics systems, and useful information on several major brands of current assist devices.
