This is the eleventh book in our exciting series, following the
lives and adventures of the peculiar and rather eccentric
characters living at Pug's Hole. Following their introduction to
Wordsworth, the friends decide that they must have a poetry
competition. But with competition so fierce, how can the Granimal
select the winner?

There was a great deal of argument about who had first found the
egg. Pongo, of course, claimed he'd discovered it on his way to
wash in the stream, but the others didn't believe him as the egg
was found in winter and everyone knew Pongo didn't wash much when
it was cold. Deep in a forest lies Pug's Hole--home to a group of
peculiar and opinionated creatures, who like nothing better than to
eat, sleep and ponder over the world around them. And what could
provide something better to think about than the arrival of a
mysterious, large, pink egg? Who or what will hatch out of it and
what adventures will result?
In view of the very heavy CBM experiment constraints on the first
level trigger, no conventional trigger is obviously applicable.
Hence a fast trigger algorithm with the goal of realization in
reconfigurable hardware had to be developed to fulfil all
requirements of the experiment. In this connection the general
Hough transform, which is already utilized in several other
experiments, is used as a basis. This approach constitutes further
a global method for tracking, which transforms all particle
interaction points with the detector stations by means of a defined
formula into a parameter space corresponding to the momentum of the
particle tracks. This formula is of course developed especially for
the given environment of CBM and defines thus the core of the
applied three dimensional Hough transform. As the main focus of
attention is furthermore on the realization of the needed data
throughput, the necessary complex formula calculations give reason
to outsource predefined formula results in look-up tables. This
circumstance offers then collaterally the possibility to utilize
any other sufficiently precise method like Runge-Kutta of fourth
order for example to compute these look-up tables, because this
computation can be evidently done offline without any effect on the
Hough transform's processing speed. For algorithm simulation
purposes the CBMROOT framework provides the module htrack', which
is written in the programming language C++. This module includes
many analyses for the determination of algorithm parameters, which
can be even executed automatically to some extent. In addition to
this, there are of course also analyses for the measurement of the
algorithm's quality as well as for the individual rating of each
partial step of the algorithm. Consequently the milestone of a
customizable level one tracking algorithm, which can be used
without any specific knowledge, is now obtained. Besides this, the
investigated concepts are explicitly considered in the implement

finds part of a poster for a "grand ummer ball". What is that
exactly? It sometimes pays to admit you don't know - as Pongo finds
out.

climbs to the top of a tall tree, and who should he meet? An owl,

Christian A. Ullrich investigates the optimization potential of
integrated supply chain scheduling approaches. Considering a
company-internal supply chain, the authors first research question
is whether the results of integrating machine scheduling and
vehicle routing are significantly better than those of classic
decomposition approaches which break down the overall problem and
solve the subproblems successively. The scope is then broadened to
include the machine and transportation scheduling problems of two
and more companies at consecutive supply chain stages. The last
part of this dissertation addresses supply chain contracting
issues."
Das Web2.0 hat zu einem Wandel des Nutzerverhaltens in Internet
gefuhrt: Immer mehr Nutzer gehen vom passiven Konsum uber zu einem
interaktiven Nutzungsverhalten. Bei einem Grossteil der
produzierten Beitrage greifen sie dabei auf fremde, zumeist
urheberrechtlich geschutzte Inhalte zuruck. Vor diesem Hintergrund
geht der Autor der Frage nach, inwieweit diese unautorisierte
Verwendung fremder Werke und Leistungen urheberrechtlich zulassig
ist und in welchem Umfang dieses Phanomen zukunftig vom Gesetzgeber
privilegiert werden sollte.
Patientenverfugungen bieten die Moeglichkeit, im Voraus u.a.
therapiebegrenzende Festlegungen fur den Fall der
Einwilligungsunfahigkeit zu treffen. Antizipiert gibt der Ersteller
den Behandlungsrahmen fur den Zeitpunkt vor, in dem er nicht mehr
aktiv mitwirken kann. Dies ist Ausdruck seines
Selbstbestimmungsrechts. Nun kann sich auch der Rettungsdienst mit
Patientenverfugungen konfrontiert sehen. Insbesondere in
Reanimationssituationen mit geringem Zeitfenster und hoher
Entscheidungsdichte ist fraglich, wie mit Hilfe der
Patientenverfugung zwischen den Beteiligten kommuniziert werden
kann. Aufgrund vielfaltiger Unwagbarkeiten in der vorklinischen
Behandlungsphase wird ein digitales Patientenverfugungsregister
erwogen und dessen Realisierbarkeit diskutiert.

Kann eine Epoche politischer Wirren, oekonomischen Niedergangs und
zahlreicher militarischer Konflikte bedeutende architektonische
Leistungen hervorbringen? Mit Blick auf das roemische Reich wahrend
der "Soldatenkaiserzeit" des 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. wird diese
Frage in der Forschung meist verneint. Man nimmt an, dass die
Bauwirtschaft, die zuvor besonders in Kleinasien noch eine Fulle
von oeffentlichen Grossbauten realisiert hatte, in den Jahrzehnten
nach 200 fast voellig zum Erliegen gekommen sei. Diese Sicht der
Dinge revidiert der Autor in wesentlichen Punkten. Eine ganze Reihe
architektonischer Grossprojekte in Side und Perge, den antiken
Metropolen der Landschaft Pamphylien, datiert er anhand der
Baubefunde und der inschriftlichen Quellen ins 3. Jahrhundert.
Erstmals wird dabei der Versuch unternommen, mit Hilfe der
ornamentierten Bauglieder die Stilentwicklung des pamphylischen
Architekturschmucks an der Schwelle zur Spatantike nachzuzeichnen.
So kann die Lucke zwischen dem gut erforschten kleinasiatischen
Baudekor der Zeit um 200 und dem wohl bekannten des spaten 4.
Jahrhunderts an theodosianischen Bauten in Konstantinopel zumindest
in Teilen geschlossen werden.
Innovation, Wachstum und Optimierung sind normative Grundlagen des
Designs, der Technologie, der Wirtschaft, der Gesellschaft und der
Kultur. Unter dem Vorzeichen der Digitalisierung zeichnen sich neue

Netzwerkstrukturen werden. Die in Wurzburg entstandenen Aufsatze
des vorliegenden Bandes gehen ambivalenten Aspekten dieser
Entwicklung mit wissenschaftlichen und gestalterischen Methoden
nach. Der Gastbeitrag geht der Frage nach, was dialektisches Denken
in Diskurs und Praxis der Gestaltung bedeutet.
Polymer Optical Fibres: Fibre Types, Materials, Fabrication,
Characterization, and Applications explores polymer optical fibers,
specifically their materials, fabrication, characterization,
measurement techniques, and applications. Optical effects,
including light propagation, degrading effects of attenuation,
scattering, and dispersion, are explained. Other important
parameters like mechanical strength, operating temperatures, and
processability are also described. Polymer optical fibers (POF)
have a number of advantages over glass fibers, such as low cost,
flexibility, low weight, electromagnetic immunity, good bandwidth,
simple installation, and mechanical stability.
