Fluid mechanical aspects of separated and vortical flow in aircraft wing aerodynamics are treated. The focus is on two wing classes: (1) large aspect-ratio wings and (2) small aspect-ratio delta-type wings. Aerodynamic design issues in general are not dealt with. Discrete numerical simulation methods play a progressively larger role in aircraft design and development. Accordingly, in the introduction to the book the different mathematical models are considered, which underlie the aerodynamic computation methods (panel methods, RANS and scale-resolving methods). Special methods are the Euler methods, which as rather inexpensive methods embrace compressibility effects and also permit to describe lifting-wing flow. The concept of the kinematically active and inactive vorticity content of shear layers gives insight into many flow phenomena, but also, with the second break of symmetry---the first one is due to the Kutta condition---an explanation of lifting-wing flow fields. The prerequisite is an extended definition of separation: "flow-off separation" at sharp trailing edges of class (1) wings and at sharp leading edges of class (2) wings. The vorticity-content concept, with a compatibility condition for flow-off separation at sharp edges, permits to understand the properties of the evolving trailing vortex layer and the resulting pair of trailing vortices of class (1) wings. The concept also shows that Euler methods at sharp delta or strake leading edges of class (2) wings can give reliable results. Three main topics are treated: 1) Basic Principles are considered first: boundary-layer flow, vortex theory, the vorticity content of shear layers, Euler solutions for lifting wings, the Kutta condition in reality and the topology of skin-friction and velocity fields. 2) Unit Problems treat isolated flow phenomena of the two wing classes. Capabilities of panel and Euler methods are investigated. One Unit Problem is the flow past the wing of the NASA Common Research Model. Other Unit Problems concern the lee-side vortex system appearing at the Vortex-Flow Experiment 1 and 2 sharp- and blunt-edged delta configurations, at a delta wing with partly round leading edges, and also at the Blunt Delta Wing at hypersonic speed. 3) Selected Flow Problems of the two wing classes. In short sections practical design problems are discussed. The treatment of flow past fuselages, although desirable, was not possible in the frame of this book.

'Why they are complaining?' 'Why do they treat me this way?' 'Why are they offending my team?'Intercultural misunderstandings are a pain. Fact-oriented cultures and relationship-oriented cultures clash. They have different styles of communication, different views on the same things, and contrary core values. The Germans are fact-oriented. Their habits make doing business with them a challenge. This book educates managers and professionals on how best to work with Germans and helps them avoid intercultural misunderstandings. It reveals the three key characteristics for consideration to make business with Germans a success: directness - adherence - commitment.

This monograph describes some of the most interesting results obtained by the mathematicians and physicists collaborating in the CRC 647 "Space - Time - Matter", in the years 2005 - 2016. The work presented concerns the mathematical and physical foundations of string and quantum field theory as well as cosmology. Important topics are the spaces and metrics modelling the geometry of matter, and the evolution of these geometries. The partial differential equations governing such structures and their singularities, special solutions and stability properties are discussed in detail.

By 'phenomenal consciousnes' philosophers understand feelings such as pain and desire, but also our conscious perceptual experiences. How it is to have such an awareness is something each person can only know from their own experience. The author takes up a critical position towards the claim of many philosophers that the natural sciences can provide an adequate understanding and explanation of phenomenal consciousness.

Alfons Staudach has been a long-time member of the Anatomic Institute of Karl Franzens University in Graz, where he has devoted particular atten tion to the deeper understanding, appreciation and visualizion of gross ana tomic details. In this work the author has achieved correspondence between sonograms and anatomic sections with a consistency and persuasiveness unequaled in all the previous literature on diagnostic ultrasound. The various planes of section andtheir characteristic features, and indeed the entire format of the text, are designed to provide even the less experienced sonographer with a valuable basis for conducting his examinations. The more experienced reader will find essential information on topographic relations and organ development that is not available in any other work dealing with fetal ana to y. I am certain that my high estimation of this volume will prove justified, and that it will provice its readers with a useful and stimulating resource. Univ. -Prof. Dr. Walter Thiel (Chairman of the Anatomic Institute of the University of Graz) Foreword Anyone setting this book down after an initial perusal must wonder why such a reference was not available ten years ago. The meticulous and fas cinating juxtaposition of gross anatomic sections with sonograms, together with explanatory drawings and many practical guidelines, should enable even the novice accurately to identify details and interpret sonographic findings with precision."

During the past three decades, Vascular Surgery has emerged as a specialty within general surgery. Fellowships are now available to equip surgeons with specialized skills for managing various vascular problems. Nev ertheless, the vascular surgical emergency, one of the greatest challenges in surgical management, may occur suddenly and at a time and place remote from the highly qualified vascular surgeon or a specialized center where complex vascular treatment is routine. The initial evaluation and treatment must be undertaken by a general surgeon who determines the extent, sever ity, and urgency of the problem at hand, and hopefully will arrange appro priate transfer to a specialized center if the patient's condition permits. Urgent problems, on the other hand, demand immediate surgical interven tion by the general surgeon if any hope for salvage is to occur. It is in this set ting that this volume offered by Professor Staudacher may be of assistance to the general surgeon whose experience in this type of emergency may be limited. This concise, well illustrated volume should serve as a guide to manage the peripheral vascular emergency involving either the arte rial or venous system."

It will be a long time before the quality of this profusely illustrated book is overtaken and the present spate of books on the subject of obstetric ultrasound may, as a result, suffer a numerical set-back - especially with translation into English which will "deliver the milk on everyone's doorstep". Two of the authors studied in our department in Glasgow and worked like If there are any rewards for teaching, then we humble Scots who demons. have had the privilege have had more than our share as a result of the pride with which we regard our pupils. In my own old age and looking back over the last thirty years, the innumer able difficulties, set-backs and disappointments have been more than compen sated for by those who have turned the subject from a laughable eccentricity (as I have at one time experienced) into a science of increasing exactitude. This transformation has come about, not by any efforts of mine, but by the enthusiasm and ingenuity of those who would probably have achieved as much on their own if given the encouragement which I ultimately received in Glasgow University life. Limbo must be the expected lot of most of us ordinary mortals but the work lives on. And so, in this reminiscent and philosophical mood I beg leave to quote a little poem which I wrote at an age when young men do that sort of thing.

Musik bewegt sich in der Zeit und darin gleicht sie unserem Leben. Ausgehend von diesem Gedanken schreibt der Autor eine mitreißende und kompakte Geschichte der westlichen Musik von ihren Anfängen bis ins 21. Jahrhundert der Komponisten, Interpreten und Zuhörer. An 24 Stationen der Geschichte hält er inne und betrachtet anhand der Komponisten, ihrer Werke und des gesellschaftlichen Umfelds die sich wandelnden Vorstellungen darüber, was Musik ist und wofür sie gemacht wird.

Die Ultraschalldiagnostik in der Geburtshilfe und Gynakologie hat heute bereits eine 25jahrige Geschichte. Als lan Donald und Mitarbeiter 1958 in ihrer inzwi- schen beruhmt gewordenen Publikation "Investigation of abdominal masses by pulsed ultrasound" in Lancet die Methode erstmals als bild gebendes Verfah- ren vorstellten, ahnten sicher nur wenige, welchen Stellenwert sie in der medizi- nischen Diagnostik erreichen wurde. Die grosse Bedeutung der Ultraschalldia- gnostik druckt sich nicht zuletzt darin aus, dass sie in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland seit nunmehr 5 Jahren als Screeningverfahren in die Mutterschafts- vorsorge eingefuhrt ist, dabei hat sich der Katalog spezieller Indikationen stan- dig erwei tert. Dem Anwender in Klinik und Praxis ist es heute kaum noch moeglich, aus der Flut der zahlreichen Publikationen die Information zu gewinnen, die es ihm ermoeglicht, die Ultraschalldiagnostik in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt zu nutzen. Um hier eine Hilfestellung zu geben ist das vorliegende Buch bewusst als Lehr- buch und Atlas konzipiert. Es soll dem Leser und Anwender mitteilen, welche Moeglichkeiten die Ultraschalldiagnostik bietet und wie diese optimal eingesetzt werden koennen. Entsprechend der inzwischen weit fortgeschrittenen technischen Entwicklung der Gerate wurde fast ausschliesslich Bildmaterial von Realtimege- raten ausgewahlt. Diese Bilder bedurfen auch fur den weniger Geubten kaum noch einer erklarenden Skizze. Dort wo wir auf Details verweisen wollen, findet der Leser entsprechende graphische Hinweise im Originalbild. Dies erleichtert ihm den Vergleich mit seinem in der taglichen Praxis anfallenden Befunden.

Herr Alfons Staudach war ein langjahriges Mitglied des anatomischen Institutes der Karl-Franzens-Universitat in Graz, wo er sein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Vertiefung des plastischen Vorstellungsvermoegens im Dienst einer vollstandigen Erfassung der makroskopisch-anatomischen Strukturen ausgerichtet hat. In diesem Werke wurde eine so grosse UEbereinstimmung zwischen den Ultraschallschnittbildern und den anatomischen Schnitten anderer Indi viduen erreicht, wie man sie mit dieser Regelmassigkeit und UEberzeu gungskraft selbst bei der Fulle der Veroeffentlichungen uber Ultraschall diagnostik bis jetzt vergeblich suchen wird. Die Schnittebene und deren vertretene Typisierung sowie der gesamte Aufbau des Werkes sind so gewahlt, dass auch ein morphologisch, weniger Versierter eine wertvolle Grundlage fur seine Untersuchungen finden wird und auch die auf die sem Gebiete schon sehr Erfahrenen wesentliche Informationen finden koennen, da in der anatomischen Literatur fur diesen fetalen Bereich brauchbare topographische Lagebeziehungen oder Angaben uber die Ausformung der Organe selbst weitgehend fehlen. Den kunftigen Benutzern dieses Werkes darf auf diesem Gebiet Vorteil und Anregung im Vertrauen auf berechtigte Wertschatzung gewunscht werden.

Die verschiedensten Formen von Sonderabgaben sind in der Rechtswissenschaft seit Jahrzehnten in der Diskussion. Ausgehend von seiner ersten bedeutenden Entscheidung zur Berufsausbildungsabgabe im Jahr 1980 hatte sich das Bundesverfassungsgericht immer wieder mit der Zulassigkeit neuer Formen von Sonderabgaben zu beschaftigen, zuletzt mit der Zulassigkeit der sog. Altenpflegeumlage. Die Entscheidungen folgen dabei haufig nicht einer klaren und vorhersehbaren Linie, sondern sind stark kasuistisch gepragt. Das Buch zeigt die Entwicklung der bisherigen Dogmatik zur Beurteilung der verfassungsrechtlichen Zulassigkeit in Literatur und Rechtsprechung auf. Der vorherrschende Ansatz des Bundesverfassungsgerichts wird dabei grundlegend in Frage gestellt und im Ergebnis abgelehnt (Teil B). Es wird sodann eine eigenstandige umfassende Loesungskonzeption erarbeitet und in den verfassungsrechtlichen Rahmen eingefugt (Teil C). Die praktische Tragfahigkeit der neuen Loesungskonzeption wird schliesslich anhand einiger Beispiele von Sonderabgaben im Umweltrecht, im Wirtschaftsrecht und in sonstigen Rechtsgebieten erprobt (Teil D).
