The Keller-Segel model for chemotaxis is a prototype of nonlocal systems describing concentration phenomena in physics and biology. While the two-dimensional theory is by now quite complete, the questions of global-in-time solvability and blowup characterization are largely open in higher dimensions. In this book, global-in-time solutions are constructed under (nearly) optimal assumptions on initial data and rigorous blowup criteria are derived.

An insider's look into the events surrounding the Nickel Mines Amish schoolhouse shootings--told by the counselor who was called upon to come to the farmhouse where the families met on that fateful day.On October 2, 2006, Charles Roberts, a local milk-tank truck driver, bound and shot ten young girls in an Amish schoolhouse before committing suicide. Five girls died. Five others were severely injured and left in critical condition. In the aftermath of the massacre, the Amish community shunned the media. But they requested that Amish-raised counselor Jonas Beiler come to the scene to offer his moral and spiritual support. In Think No Evil, Beiler offers his first-person account of the events, as well as of those who were closest to the scene: the surviving children, the volunteer fireman Rob Beiler, the local counseling center director Brad Aldricha, and Vietta Zook, aboard the first ambulance to arrive. Beiler poignantly describes the Amish families' responses to this horrific violence as they reached out to the shocked family members of the killer, offering unconditional forgiveness. The story didn't end on that horrible day with the deaths of those five little girls. Think No Evil follows the ongoing story of this gentle community having faith in God's design, of truly demonstrating Christian values, of responding with resilient love in the face of evil, of demolishing the scene of the murders and rebuilding the schoolhouse, and of determining to move forward in living out their faith in peace.

Immigrant and Entrepreneur examines the life of German immigrant and successful businessman Caspar Wistar. Wistar arrived in Philadelphia in 1717 with nearly no money; at the time of his death in 1752, his wealth outstripped that of the contemporary elite more than threefold. Through this in-depth look at an immigrant's path to achieving the American Dream, Beiler reevaluates the modern understanding of the entrepreneurial ideal and the immigrant experience in the colonial era.

The book follows Wistar's life from his family's German influences to the potential reasons behind his desire to emigrate and the networks he used to establish himself as a wealthy entrepreneur once he reached his adopted home. Beiler draws from Wistar's compelling story to examine the greater processes at work in the Atlantic world of the eighteenth century. Wistar's success exemplifies how European influence, patterns of adaptation, and an innovative cultivation of networks helped integrate immigrants into colonial America and the Atlantic world.

Chapter 1 poses 134 problems concerning real and complex numbers, chapter 2 poses 123 problems concerning sequences, and so it goes, until in chapter 9 one encounters 201 problems concerning functional analysis. The remainder of the book is given over to the presentation of hints, answers or referen

Dieses Buch thematisiert im Rahmen einer interdisziplinär ausgerichteten TV-Serienforschung Beiträge zum besonderen Format der Kriegsserie. Der Bogen der diskutierten Serien reicht von M*A*S*H aus der Zeit des „klassischen“ Fernsehens bis zu neueren und neusten Produktionen, die über Streaming-Dienste angeboten werden wie zum Beispiel Das Boot oder die Bundeswehr-YouTube-Serien Die Rekruten und Mali. Diskutiert werden Kriegsserien in ihren Überschneidungen mit anderen Film- und TV-Genres (Krimiserie: Magnum, p.i., History-Serie: Vikings, Sciencefiction: Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, auch Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams). Im Focus steht überdies die steigende Bedeutung der Kriegsthematik in Serienproduktionen seit der Jahrtausendwende (im Zusammenhang mit den „neuen Kriegen“) wie Band of Brothers, The Pacific oder Generation Kill. Neben den aktualisierenden Untersuchungen geht es schließlich auch um historische Rekonstruktion, wenn Serien wie Combat! bis Over There untersucht werden.
