Armed Reprisals from Medieval Times to 1945

Wie ist es zu erklären, dass sich die bewaffneten Repressalien den Normierungsbemühungen seit dem 19. Jh. entzogen, während diese nicht-kriegerische Maßnahme ein sensibles Thema im Völkerrecht darstellte? Ausgehend vom mittelalterlichen Repressalienrecht und seiner schwindenden Geltung in der Neuzeit beweist die Untersuchung, dass die Großmächte diese Gewaltanwendung in Friedenszeiten zu…

Assimilation of Remote Sensing Data into Earth System Models

In the Earth sciences, a transition is currently occurring in multiple fields towards an integrated Earth system approach, with applications including numerical weather prediction, hydrological forecasting, climate impact studies, ocean dynamics estimation and monitoring, and carbon cycle monitoring. These approaches rely on coupled modeling techniques using Earth system models that account for…

Advances in measuring soil organic carbon stocks and dynamics at the profile …

Quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and dynamics is required for and applied to different frameworks, situations and scales, ranging from an experimental plot (for evaluating treatment effects) to whole fields (e.g. in SOC-accounting or crediting systems) and inventories of whole countries or continents (Orgiazzi et al., 2018, Saby et al., 2008, Bolinder et al., 2010, Viscar…

A dynamic interplay between membranes and the cytoskeleton critical for cell …

Various cellular processes underlying plant development and response to environmental cues rely on a dynamic interplay between membranes and the cytoskeleton, e.g. vesicle and organelle trafficking, endocytosis, exocytosis, and signal transduction. In recent years, significant progress in the understanding of such interplay has been achieved and several critical links between membranes and the …

Nicholas of Cusa and Islam; Polemic and Dialogue in the Late Middle Ages

Understanding Turbulent Systems = Progress in Particle Dynamics Modeling

This open access book provides a thorough introduction to modeling turbulent, dispersed, two-phase flows. It explains the physical phenomena and governing laws at play, followed by a clear and systematic overview of the statistical tools used to develop simplified or coarse-grained models. With a pedagogical approach, the book uses practical examples to explain complex physical processes and…

The Ndebele, Frank Oates, and Knowledge Production in the 1870s = Encounters …

This open access book addresses a question fundamental to the histories of empire and Africa: at the point of the colonial encounter, how was knowledge made? How did different communities, with little or no prior contact, construct meaning about one another? Amidst huge changes in the politics and economics of a continent, on the cusp of almost complete colonization at the hands of European pow…
