Around the world, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is synonymous with air and space flight. This book covers NASA's aerospaceresearch from the agency's beginnings as NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) in 1915 to the present-day NASA. Exciting projects and developments are portrayed, such as the first supersonic flight of the X-1 in 1947, the flights of the fastest manned aircraft, the rocket-powered X-15, which attained almost seven times the speed of sound in 1967, the flight-testing of the lunar module for the moon landings, tipping-rotor aircraft, testing new wing concepts, and much more. The emphasis of the book is in the realm of aviation research, but the boundaries between air and space research are often fluid, so that the development of the Space Shuttle and its testing have been included in this book. Besides project portrayals and descriptions of various research trends, the development sites and important personnel of NASA are portrayed.
Ju rgen Becker's The Sea in the Radio is a collection of "journal sentences" divided into three sections called notebooks. In this great concert of a novel, language has been pared down to a minimum: fragments, phrases, and short sentences combine and make up a life both banal and profound. It is a life in which many of the details remain unstated or, as in miniatures, float just beyond the edges of the frame. Though at first the narrative may seem to move in a relatively harmless manner, soon enough we begin to realize that the story to be told may indeed be more unsettling than we had suspected. The Sea in the Radio is a novel that bears witness not only to one's final years but also to one's place within history in general and Germany's cataclysmic twentieth-century past in particular.
This book describes fault tolerance techniques based on software and hardware to create hybrid techniques. They are able to reduce overall performance degradation and increase error detection when associated with applications implemented in embedded processors. Coverage begins with an extensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art in fault tolerance techniques. The authors then discuss the best trade-off between software-based and hardware-based techniques and introduce novel hybrid techniques. Proposed techniques increase existing fault detection rates up to 100%, while maintaining low performance overheads in area and application execution time."

The 8 papers included in the book together with two keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 papers presented at the conference. The papers cover a wide variety of excellence in VLSI technology and advanced research addressing the current trend toward increasing chip integration and technology process advancements bringing about stimulating new challenges both at the physical and system-design levels, as well as in the test of theses systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Applied Reconfigurable Computing, ARC 2009, held in Karlsruhe, Germany, in March 2009. The 21 full papers and 21 short papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 keynote lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from about 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on FPGA security and bitstream analysis, fault tolerant systems, architectures, place and route techniques, cryptography, and resource allocation and scheduling, as well as on applications.
In this study Jurgen Becker presents a new historically grounded explanation of the phrases "kingdom of God" and "God's reign" - the central terms of Jesus' proclamation. He draws on a range of sources to trace Jesus'special position within early Judaism. At the same time, he retains his focus on Jesus' ministry, viewed as the beginning of the history of early Christianity. The proclamation of the kingdom is thus seen by Becker as the founding moment of a distinct community of faith.

Neben den Bischoefen waren es vor allem die Domkapitel, auf denen uber Jahrhunderte das System der Reichskirche wesentlich fusste. Fur den Zeitraum vom Abschluss des Wiener Konkordats 1448 bis zur Sakularisation 1803 unterzieht der Autor die verfassungsrechtlichen Grundzuge von insgesamt 74 mitteleuropaischen Domkapiteln einer vergleichenden Analyse. Vor dem Hintergrund der geschichtlichen Entwicklungen tritt bei der Untersuchung der inneren Organisation, der Kollation der Kanonikate und AEmter sowie der Idoneitatskriterien und Obliegenheiten ein vielschichtiges Bild zutage. So kann der Autor neben einer bemerkenswerten rechtlichen Vielfalt auch gemeinsame Rechtstraditionen aufzeigen.

Das Buch behandelt die "Arisierung" von Banken in Deutschland wahrend der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus. Anhand der Geschichte des Bankhauses E. J. Meyer werden soziale, oekonomische und rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und Herausforderungen dargestellt - von der Privatbank und Mitgrunderin der Deutschen Bank und des Bauunternehmens Philipp Holzmann uber die Krisen zwischen den Weltkriegen, die Bankenkrise 1931, den Niedergang im Nationalsozialismus bis zur "Arisierung", nach der nochmals ein Inhaberwechsel zum Bankhaus Metzler aus Frankfurt erfolgte. AbschlieFrankfurt erfolgte. Abschliessend wird auf Entschadigungs- und Restitutionsverfahren aufgrund erlittenen Unrechts im Dritten Reich eingegangen, die teilweise bis in die 1960er-Jahre dauerten und deren Ende die Anspruchsteller oft nicht erlebten.
Diese didaktisch sinnvoll aufbereitete Einfuhrung in die Digitaltechnik richtet sich an Studierende der Elektrotechnik im ersten Semester und setzt daher relativ geringe Vorkenntnisse voraus. Das gut eingefuhrte Lehrbuch tragt damit zum Verstandnis der heute dominierenden Digitalisierung vieler technischer Funktionen bei, dient aber auch als Basis fur weiterfuhrende Betrachtungen."
Eine Auswahl von 36 Versuchen zur Mechanik, Warmelehre, Elektrizitat und Magnetismus, Optik sowie Atom- und Kernphysik soll dem Studierenden einen Querschnitt durch experimentelle physikalische Methoden vermitteln. Dabei kommt es mehr auf das Erkennen des messtechnischen Prinzips an als auf das Einuben von Fertigkeiten an Laborgeraten.
Leser zur Vertiefung seines Wissens anregen. Die zum Teil umfangreichen Losungen sind ausfuhr lich in einem Anhang zusammengefasst, so dass sich das Buch auch zum Selbststudium eignet. Bei vielen in diesem Buch behandelten Problemkreisen werden mehrere Verfahren entwickelt. In all diesen Fallen kann keinem Verfahren beim Einsatz in den Ingenieurwissenschaften ein absoluter Vorzug gegeben werden, vielmehr ist bei unterschiedlichen Aufgaben und bei unterschiedlichem Einsatz der Hilfsmittel (Taschenrechner, kleine oder grossere Rechenanlage) einmal das eine, ein mal das andere Verfahren vorzuziehen. Zum Verstandnis sind mathematische Kenntnisse erforder lich, wie sie z.B. im Mathematik-Kurs eines technischen Studienganges an einer Fachhochschule an geboten werden und in dem im gleichen Verlag erschienenen Lehrbuch "Brauch, W.; Dreyer, H.-J.; Haacke, W.: Mathematik fur Ingenieure" zu finden sind. Die einzelnen Abschnitte sind absichtlich so gefasst worden, dass sie unabhangig voneinander gele sen werden konnen. Hierdurch bedingt, mussen an einigen wenigen Stellen Begriffe erlautert wer den, die thematisch einem anderen Abschnitt zugeordnet werden konnten. Durch vielfache Bezuge zwischen den Abschnitten wird dafur gesorgt, dass der Zusammenhang jederzeit zu erkennen ist."
The purpose of this book is to evaluate strategies for future system design in multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) architectures. Both hardware design and integration of new development tools will be discussed. Novel trends in MPSoC design, combined with reconfigurable architectures are a main topic of concern. The main emphasis is on architectures, design-flow, tool-development, applications and system design.
This book starts with a general introduction by Jurgen Becker, and continues with a study of the interaction of Jesus with the world around him by Christoph Burchard. Varieties of early Christianity are illuminated in an examination of the oldest Jewish-Christian community by Carsten Colpe; "The Circle of Stephen and Its Mission," by Karl Loning; and "Paul and His Churches," by Jurgen Becker. Starting from the gospels, John K. Riches explores "The Synoptic Evangelists and Their Communities." "Post-Pauline Christianity and Pagan society" are analyzed by Peter Lampe and Ulrich Luz. "Apocalyptic Currents" are reviewed by Ulrich B. Muller, and finally C. Kingsley Barrett delineates "Johannine Christianity."
