This self-contained essay collection is published to commemorate
half a century of Bell's theorem. Like its much acclaimed
predecessor "Quantum [Un]Speakables: From Bell to Quantum
Information" (published 2002), it comprises essays by many of the
worlds leading quantum physicists and philosophers. These revisit
the foundations of quantum theory as well as elucidating the
remarkable progress in quantum technologies achieved in the last
couple of decades. Fundamental concepts such as entanglement,
nonlocality and contextuality are described in an accessible manner
and, alongside lively descriptions of the various theoretical and
experimental approaches, the book also delivers interesting
philosophical insights. The collection as a whole will serve as a
broad introduction for students and newcomers as well as delighting
the scientifically literate general reader.
This volume describes the more relevant secondary metabolites of
different fungi with current information on their biosynthesis and
molecular genetics. Bolstered with color illustrations and
photographs, the book describes the possible application of
molecular genetics to directed strain improvement in great detail.
The needs for future developments in this field are also discussed
at length
Written by authorities in the field, "Biosynthesis and Molecular
Genetics of Fungal Secondary Metabolites" provides a cutting-edge
perspective on fungal secondary metabolism and underlying genetics
and is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and
educators in the field of fungal biology.
Fungi produce many chemically diverse secondary metabolites whose
biological roles largely remain elusive. Within the increasing
number of sequenced fungal genomes several important genes involved
in secondary metabolite formation have been identified. Most of
these genes are clustered and their coordinated transcription is
controlled in a complex way by both narrow pathway-specific
regulators as well as broad global transcription factors responsive
to environmental cues. In recent years it was discovered many of
the newly identified gene clusters are silent under laboratory
conditions suggesting that the biosynthetic potential of fungi is
far from being exploited. Besides identifying novel bioactive
metabolites from still unexplored sources, the activation of these
gene clusters by several approaches may result in the discovery of
new substances with antibiotic and pharmaceutical benefits. This
book covers recent advances in the field of fungal secondary
metabolisms ranging from methodologies to biological aspects and
will include the latest knowledge on fungal molecular biology,
genomics, and metabolomics. With the related volume by Professor
Juan-Francisco Martin, where the most relevant and well-studied
fungal secondary metabolites are compiled, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of research on
fungal secondary metabolites.
From the very beginning it was realised that quantum physics
involves radically new interpretative and epistemological
consequences. While hitherto there has been no satisfactory
philosophical analysis of these consequences, recent years have
witnessed the accomplishment of many experiments to test the
foundations of quantum physics, opening up vistas to a completely
novel technology: quantum technology. The contributions in the
present volume review the interpretative situation, analyze recent
fundamental experiments, and discuss the implications of possible
future technological applications. Readership: Analytic
philosophers (logical empiricists), scientists (especially
physicists), historians of logic, mathematics and physics,
philosophers of science, and advanced students and researchers in
these fields. Can be used for seminars on theoretical and
experimental physics and philosophy of science, and as
supplementary reading at advanced undergraduate and graduate
levels.
Microbial applications encompass areas including biotechnology,
chemical engineering, and alternative fuel development. Research on
their technological developments cover many aspects of work using
microbes as cell factories. The fields of biotechnology, chemical
engineering, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and medical device
development also employ these microbial products. There is an
urgent need to integrate all these disciplines that caters to the
need of all those who are interested to work in the area of
microbial technologies. This book is a step forward to integrate
the aforesaid frontline branches into an interdisciplinary research
work quenching the academic as well as research thirst of all those
concerned about microbes in the respective area of biotechnology,
chemical engineering, and pharmaceuticals. All the chapters in this
book are related to important research on microbial applications,
written by international specialists for researchers and academics
in the concerned disciplines. This publication aims to provide a
detailed compendium of experimental work and information used to
investigate different aspects of microbial technologies, their
products as well as interdisciplinary interactions including
biochemistry of metabolites, in a manner that reflects the recent
developments of relevance to researchers/scientists investigating
microbes.
Against the backdrop of combating the financial and economic crisis
in the European Union for the past decade, this volume strives to
explore the manifold impacts the prevailing crisis management has
on the further alignment of European Integration. The efforts
targeted at overcoming the financial and economic crisis evoked
far-reaching consequences on the societal, economic, and political
level within European member states, which in turn challenge the
institutional alignment, democratic legitimacy and economic
coherence of the European Union. Taking into account current
developments in the EU, the contributions presented in this volume
focus on the 'fault lines' in the integration process, i.e.
questions of policy coherence, democratic accountability,
financialization, militarization, migration, gendered social and
economic asymmetries as well as the rise of populist and extreme
right-wing parties. The volume focuses on how these different
developments come together by relating aspects of transdisciplinary
research to uncover the fault lines in the European integration
project in the subsequent chapters. ContentEconomic and Democratic

Scheint die Sache aussichtslos, wird das "Prinzip Hoffnung"
beschworen. Dessen Urheber, Ernst Bloch, war allerdings nicht ins
Scheitern, sondern ins "Gelingen verliebt": Fur die Philosophie der
"konkreten Utopie", die sich strikt vom utopischen Denken im Sinne
eines "wishful thinking" abgrenzt, ist die gesellschaftliche Praxis
Orientierungspunkt. Die Trias "Solidaritat, Allianztechnik, Heimat"
markiert ein Ultimum, das latent im Weltprozess vorscheint, aber
der Realisierung durch das menschliche Subjekt immer noch bedarf.
Ein entsprechendes philosophisches Begriffsinstrumentarium, dem der
Gedanke vom "Prius der Theorie, Primat der Praxis" zugrunde liegt,
hat Bloch systematisch in seiner Kategorienlehre entwickelt.
Gegenstand ist das universelle menschliche Sein als
"Noch-Nicht-Sein". Akzentuiert wird die auf dem Prozesscharakter
der Materie beruhende Moeglichkeit der Veranderung. Dabei umfasst
das Denken nicht nur Gesellschaft, Kunst und Religion, sondern auch
die Natur - ein Gebiet, das zunehmend zu philosophischer
Insichtnahme auffordert. Die wichtigsten Leitbegriffe der
Bloch'schen Philosophie werden im Woerterbuch erlautert.
This book presents a collection of novel contributions and reviews
by renowned researchers in the foundations of quantum physics,
quantum optics, and neutron physics. It is published in honor of
Michael Horne, whose exceptionally clear and groundbreaking work in
the foundations of quantum mechanics and interferometry, both of
photons and of neutrons, has provided penetrating insight into the
implications of modern physics for our understanding of the
physical world. He is perhaps best known for the
Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality. This collection
includes an oral history of Michael Horne's contributions to the
foundations of physics and his connections to other eminent figures
in the history of the subject, among them Clifford Shull and Abner
Shimony.

Im Jahr 1474 heiratete Graf Eberhard V. "im Bart" von Wurttemberg
die italienische Furstentochter Barbara Gonzaga im Beisein einiger
tausend Gaste. In dieser Arbeit werden die umfangreichen
Vorbereitungen zur Hochzeit und die zeremonielle Durchfuhrung des
viertagigen Festes (mit Gottesdiensten, Beilager, Festessen, Tanz
und Turnieren) kulturhistorisch untersucht. Daruber hinaus wird
gezeigt, wie ein Hoffest und seine ostentative Prachtentfaltung fur
die Reprasentation der Dynastie nach aussen sowie fur die
herrschaftliche Durchdringung der Grafschaft und die Bindung der
weiteren Klientel funktionalisiert werden konnte. Damit wird eine
Brucke von der Kultur- zur Verfassungsgeschichte Wurttembergs im
15. Jahrhundert geschlagen. Quellengrundlage der Untersuchung
bildet eine Beschreibung und Ordnung der Hochzeit, Gastelisten etc.
Die Quellen werden in einer Edition zuganglich gemacht.
