As artists, they were self-taught and created a cosmos of images that still captivates us today with its sensual immediacy and has made a lasting mark in art history on the work of non-academically trained artists: Henri Rousseau (1844-1910), Camille Bombois (1883-1970), Andre Bauchant (1873-1958), Louis Vivin (1861-1939) and Seraphine Louis (1864-1942). They are counted among the so-called circle of the "painters of the sacred heart"; their scenarios, often borrowed from nature, especially flowers and fruits, but also people in parks and landscapes, indicate a closeness to nature, a sensitive approach to the things of the immediate environment, with which they apparently sought to escape the coldness of uprising modernism. These French pioneers of authentic art were discovered by the German art historian Wilhelm Uhde (1874-1947), who organized their first joint exhibition in Paris in 1928.

Simulation and modeling using numerical methods is one of the key instruments in any scientific work. In the field of photonics, a wide range of numerical methods are used for studying both fundamental optics and applications such as design, development, and optimization of photonic components. Modeling is key for developing improved photonic devices and reducing development time and cost. Choosing the appropriate computational method for a photonics modeling problem requires a clear understanding of the pros and cons of the available numerical methods. Numerical Methods in Photonics presents six of the most frequently used methods: FDTD, FDFD, 1+1D nonlinear propagation, modal method, Green's function, and FEM. After an introductory chapter outlining the basics of Maxwell's equations, the book includes self-contained chapters that focus on each of the methods. Each method is accompanied by a review of the mathematical principles in which it is based, along with sample scripts, illustrative examples of characteristic problem solving, and exercises. MATLAB (R) is used throughout the text. This book provides a solid basis to practice writing your own codes. The theoretical formulation is complemented by sets of exercises, which allow you to grasp the essence of the modeling tools.

German-english edition The question of identity has always preoccupied artists. Louisa Clement is no different, her central theme is the human being and the human in the digital. In her art, she starts out from herself, but ventures much further, asking how identity will be shaped in the future and examining forms of transformation. In the series of works Repräsentantinnen (Representatives), she creates AI-equipped, adaptive images of herself, with which visitors can converse. In photographic works, the master pupil of Andreas Gursky continues this examination of the body and its possible optimisations and deals with military legacies under the aspect of transformation. This publication is appearing for an exhibition at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum - both artists are united in their search for self-expression, as Paula Modersohn-Becker's Self-portrait on 6th wedding anniversary from 1906 demonstrates in a succinct manner. Louisa Clement (born 1987 in Bonn) completed her studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2015 as a master pupil of Andreas Gursky. She has already exhibited in various institutions and museums, including e.g.: Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden (2022); Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain (2022); Ludwig Forum Aachen (2019); Sprengel Museum Hanover (2019) One of today’s most popular young artists Current social issues such as AI, questions about body and self-image, and possibilities of digital storage Exhibition, 2 September 2023 to 21 January 2024, Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, Bremen

Wie Frank Schmidt in diesem Lehrbuch zeigt, ist Meteorologie noch mehr als ein Handwerk! Angesichts der grossen Familie nationaler und groesserraumiger Vorhersagemodelle mit Modulen und Parametern, offen fur aktuelle Messungen, und angesichts des technologischen Fortschritts mit Radar- und Satellitenbeobachtung koennte man das fast vergessen haben. Tatsachlich zeigt die Dynamik, das Herz der Modelle, bei sensiblen Abschatzungen und Feinabstimmungen solcher Modelle erstaunlich variierende Ergebnisse. Es existiert eine Vielfalt zu uberdenkender Zusammenhange und auszulotender Grenzen, und das selbst schon im Grundlegenden und Linearen. Das wird durch nichts so anschaulich dargestellt wie durch spektrale Methoden. Zunachst werden grundlegende dynamische Gleichungen quasi axiomatisch gegeben und dann fur verschiedene Groessenordnungen der Bewegung dynamische AEquivalenzklassen definiert, die meteorologischen Modelle. Kugelflachenfunktionen werden elementar als Polynome der spharischen Polarkoordinaten eingefuhrt und die globalen dynamischen Operationen als Rekursionen dieser Polynome identifiziert. Damit wird die spharische Symmetrie per definitionem respektiert, insbesondere auch eingebettet in den Torus oder mit regional erhoehter Aufloesung. Angefangen bei diesen globalen Symmetrien gilt es auch zu arbeiten mit der vertikalen Struktur, mit Eigenschwingungen bei variierenden Modellen, Schichtungen, Randstrukturen und Anregungen. Bei UEberlappung von Rossby- und Schwerewellen treten Instabilitaten auf. Adaptationen von Frequenzen ergeben sich aufloesungsabhangig. Barokline Instabilitat erscheint von der synoptischen Skala bis in kleinste Skalen fortgesetzt, soweit das Modell tragt. Kaum bewusst gewordene Instabilitaten und unerwunschte Dampfungen finden sich bei etablierten Zeititerationen, Defizite fur Lorenz'sche Klimaprognosen. Bekannte statistische Verfahren der Analyse entpuppen sich als Strukturen von aufregend vielfach uberlagerten Mannigfaltigkeiten. Hoechste Effizienz der Prognose wird elementar realisiert.

Zentrale Bausteine der Methodik sind ein in fruhen Konstruktionsphasen einsetzbares Kennzahlensystem sowie eine zielorientierte Kalkulation, die zu ganzheitlich kostengunstigen Konstruktionslosungen fuhren soll. Anhand einer Simulationsrechnung werden die Auswirkungen aufgezeigt."

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Hamburg, language: English, abstract: In his publication of 1985, Peter Freese initially states, that in order to fully comprehend American culture and its products one must understand "certain enduring beliefs and convictions" (Freese 1985: 3). According to him, these beliefs and convictions together make up the 'American Dream', a concept that is and has been an integral constituent of American culture and society from its very beginning until today. Blues music is a product and certainly an important part of American culture and for over a century. Knowing this, the American Dream and the ideas that it represents must in some form relate to significant elements of blues music. But what is 'The American Dream' and what is 'The Blues'?
