Der Leitgedanke von TRIZ ist es, Problemstellungen zu strukturieren und dadurch Losungszeiten zu verkurzen. TRIZ steht fur "e;Theorie des erfinderischen Problemlosens"e;. Die Methode wurde von dem russischen Wissenschaftler und Erfinder G. S. Altschuller konzipiert. TRIZ basiert auf der Analyse von ca. 2 Millionen Patenten und ist ein systematischer Ansatz zur Entwicklung neuer Produkte. TRIZ bietet eine breite Palette an Werkzeugen zur strategischen Produktplanung. Die Werkzeuge unterstutzen Konstrukteure und Entwickler, neue Produktideen umzusetzen und neue, patentfahige Konzepte zu realisieren. TRIZ tragt dazu bei, da Denkbarrieren uberwunden und die Ergebnisse anderer Fachgebiete genutzt werden - und TRIZ hilft Fuhrungskraften und Entscheidungstragern aller Sparten, die Produktivitat und Wirtschaftlichkeit ihrer Bereiche zu steigern. Ob die Methode konventionell oder softwareunterstutzt betrieben wird, hangt ganz von der individuellen Entscheidung des Anwenders ab. Mittlerweile wird TRIZ in zahlreichen Unternehmen und in allen Branchen erfolgreich als Instrument eingesetzt. Das vorliegende Buch wendet sich an Ingenieure, in deren Verantwortung die Findung und Einfuhrung neuer Produkte liegt, und an Studenten der Konstruktionstechnik, die TRIZ in ihrem Berufsleben erfolgreich einsetzen wollen.

There has been exponential growth in the number of nanoporous framework materials reported in the scientific literature over recent years, with thousands of new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), molecular framework materials, inorganic framework materials, and supramolecular frameworks. These novel families of materials open up new horizons in practically all branches of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. Many framework materials are based on relatively weak interactions (coordinative bonds, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, etc.), and present large numbers of intramolecular degrees of freedom. Evidence is accumulating that there is a propensity among these framework materials to display large-scale dynamic behaviour. These cooperative phenomena are very diverse both in terms of their microscopic origins and their macroscopic manifestations. This volume brings together internationally leading researchers to identify the open questions and challenges in this field as well as the best ways to address them. The topics covered include: Materials breaking the rulesAdvanced characterisation techniques: multi-scale, in situ and time-resolvedNovel computational toolsToward complex systems and devices

The chemistry that occurs within confined spaces is the product of a collection of forces, often beyond the molecule, and is not easily ascribed to singular factors. There is a breadth of material types that can define a confined space (e.g. macrocycles, interlocked molecules, porous and non-porous crystals, organic and inorganic/coordination cages) which are rarely discussed together. Studies of supramolecular entities in the solution and solid states are also not often compared in the same discussion, even though the concepts are often similar or can be easily transferred between the two. Chapters in this book combine classical host-guest chemistry with catalysis, reactivity, and modern supramolecular chemistry. They cover the many different technologies used to describe and understand reactivity in confined spaces in one accessible title.With contributions from leading experts, Reactivity in Confined Spaces will be relevant for graduate students and researchers working in supramolecular chemistry, both organic- and inorganic-based, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, polymer chemistry, and materials science in general.

This volume contributes to the study of early English poetics. In these essays, several related approaches and fields of study radiate outward from poetics, including stylistics, literary history, word studies, gender studies, metrics, and textual criticism. By combining and redirecting these traditional scholarly methods, as well as exploring newer ones such as object-oriented ontology and sound studies, these essays demonstrate how poetry responds to its intellectual, literary, and material contexts. The contributors propose to connect the small (syllables, words, and phrases) to the large (histories, emotions, faiths, secrets). In doing so, they attempt to work magic on the texts they consider: turning an ordinary word into something strange and new, or demonstrating texture, difference, and horizontality where previous eyes had perceived only smoothness, sameness, and verticality.

In this book, the editors focus on architecture and communication from various different perspectives - taking into account that the term "architecture" is used for buildings as well as in the context of computer software. Data and software also impact on our cities; raw data, however, do not convey any information - in order to generate information and communication they have to be organized and must make sense to the reader. The contributions avoid clear separation of the various communication spheres of their disciplines. Instead, they use the wide range of approaches to explore meanings - an ambitious aim that leaves the destination wide open; the reader is invited to share in this adventure.

In der Zeit des Humanismus und der fruhen Neuzeit bluht im politischen Denken eine neue Gattung, die der Utopie. Thomas Morus gibt ihr den Titel und die literarische Form vor. Tommaso Campanella mit dem Sonnenstaat und Francis Bacon mit Neu-Atlantis eifern ihm nach. Alle drei Werke werden hier kommentiert und in ihrer Bedeutung fur das gegenwartige politische Denken erlautert.Statt sich in politische Schwarmerei zu verirren, beginnt Morus die Utopia mit einer Kritik an den sozialen und politischen Missstanden in England. Drei Generationen spater setzt Tommaso Campanella die Tradition des utopischen Denkens fort und entwirft er, erneut in Form eines Reiseromans, die Utopie eines christlichen und sozialistischen Gemeinwesens. Francis Bacon wiederum entwirft in seinem Reiseroman Neu-Atlantis die Utopie einer wissenschaftlich-technischen Zivilisation.Im vorliegenden Band werden alle drei Utopien gemeinsam durchgangig und systematisch interpretiert, zugleich ihre Argumentationen kritisch beleuchtet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die in den Werken verhandelten Themen, etwa religiose Toleranz, die Rolle des Privateigentums, die Bedeutung wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts, fur das gegenwartige politische Denken von groem Interesse sind.

This study analyzes the reception of thetheories of the "e;first principle"e;of Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes (7th-6th century BC) among Aristotle and his commentators of the 2nd through 14th centuries AD. It includes a detailed discussion of 120 texts documenting this fascinating and, for the modern image of the Milesians, fundamental Wirkungsgeschichte of the earliest philosophical ideas of Europe.

This monograph begins with a puzzle: a Babylonian text from late 5th century BCE Uruk associating various diseases with bodily organs, which has evaded interpretation. The correct answer may reside in Babylonian astrology, since the development of the zodiac in the late 5th century BCE offered innovative approaches to the healing arts. The zodiac-a means of predicting the movements of heavenly bodies-transformed older divination (such as hemerologies listing lucky and unlucky days) and introduced more favorable magical techniques and medical prescriptions, which are comparable to those found in Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos and non-Hippocratic Greek medicine. Babylonian melothesia (i.e., the science of charting how zodiacal signs affect the human body) offers the most likely solution explaining the Uruk tablet.

Die Studie geht den vielfältigen Bezugnahmen auf das antike Griechentum in Literatur und Kultur, dem Bildungswesen und den Altertumswissenschaften nach, die das deutsche Nationalbewusstsein 1890¿1933/34 beeinflussten. Diese besondere Art der Identitätsstiftung wird als ¿Dritter Humanismus¿ bezeichnet und über Varianten rekonstruiert, wie sie vom Altphilologen Werner Jaeger, dem Bildungsphilosophen Eduard Spranger und dem Lyriker Stefan George vertreten wurden. Insgesamt betrachtet, läßt er sich als eine ganzheitliche, nationalpädagogische Strömung in Reaktion auf die Modernekritik in der Nachfolge Nietzsches begreifen. Auf der Basis eines vitalistisch verstandenen Griechentums sollte durch Amalgamierung ästhetischer, kulturkritischer und politischer Überlegungen neuer Sinn für die Gegenwart und ein künftiges ¿Deutschtum¿ entstehen. Eine humanistische Bildungskonzeption vermittelte individuelle wie nationale Identität. Dabei griff der ¿Dritte Humanismus¿ zurück auf bewährte Denkmuster der Zeit um 1800, stellte aber auch Anknüpfungsmöglichkeiten für die nationalsozialistische Kultur- und Bildungspolitik bereit. Damit gehört er sowohl in die Rezeptions- und Wirkungsgeschichte der Weimarer Klassik als auch in die mentale Vorgeschichte des ¿Dritten Reichs¿.

In the Wake of the Compendia presents papers that examine the history of technical compendia as they moved between institutions and societies in ancient and medieval Mesopotamia.This volume offers new perspectives on the development and transmission of technical compilations, looking especially at the relationship between empirical knowledge and textual transmission in early scientific thinking. The eleven contributions to the volume derive from a panel held at the American Oriental Society in 2013 and cover more than three millennia of historical development, ranging from Babylonian medicine and astronomy to the persistence of Mesopotamian lore in Syriac and Arabic meditations on the properties of animals. The volume also includes major contributions on the history of Mesopotamian "e;rationality,"e; epistemic labels for tested and tried remedies, and the development of depersonalized case histories in Babylonian therapeutic compendia. Together, these studies offer an overview of several important moments in the development of non-Western scientific thinking and a significant contribution to our understanding of how traditions of technical knowledge were produced and transmitted in the ancient world.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials constructed from metal ions/clusters and organic linkers, combining the merits of both organic and inorganic components. Due to high porosity, rich functionalities, well-defined open channels and diverse structures, MOFs show great potentials in field such as gas storage and separation, catalysis, and sensing. Combining them with polymers tunes their chemical, mechanical, electrical and optical properties, and endows MOFs with processability. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous materials built from organic molecular units with diverse structures and applications. Hybrid materials with intriguing properties can be achieved by appropriate preparation methods and careful selection of MOFs/COFs and polymers, broadening their potential applications. This book documents the latest research progress in MOF/COF-polymer hybrid materials and reviews and summarises hybridization strategies to achieve MOF/COF polymeric composites. It also introduces various applications and potential applicable scenarios of hybrid MOF/COF polymers. Hybrid Metal-Organic Framework and Covalent Organic Framework Polymers offers an overview to readers who are new to this field, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers working on porous materials, polymers, hybrid materials, and supramolecular chemistry.

DieMonographie arbeitet erstmals an den Formen, Bildern und Inschriften der attischen Grabmaler die Athener Haltung dem Tod gegenuber, ihren Wandel in der geometrischen, archaischen und klassischen Zeit (1000-300 v. Chr.), und den grundsatzlichen Unterschied von der christlich-abendlandischen heraus.Gleich bleibt in den drei Epochen, dass es nicht um die Erlosung im Jenseits geht; es gilt das homerische Geras thanonton: die Pflicht der Lebenden, die Toten zu ehren und die Erinnerung an sie wach zu halten. Dieser diesseitigen Pflicht entsprechend gibt es keine Friedhofe; die Graber saumen die Straen auerhalb Athens, damit Passanten vor ihnen halten und das Geras thanonton vollziehen.Die geometrischen Graber zeigen Bilder der rituellen Ehrung des Toten, der namenlos bleibt. Bei den archaischen kommt das benannte Bildnis des Toten auf sowie die Grabepigramme, die die Passanten in eine Performance des Geras thanonton involvieren.In der Klassik errichtet die Polis kollektive Kriegergraber im demosion Sema. Die privaten Graber, nun vorrangig Familienbezirke, und die Grabepigramme zeigen die neue Bedeutung der Familie. Die kontrapostischen Grabrelieffiguren wirken wissend um den eigenen Tod und den Tod des Anderen, und es gibt neuartige Gruppen von Toten und Hinterbliebenen.Diese anthropologische Betrachtung der attischen Grabmaler lasst viel uber die lebenden Athener jener Jahre erkennen.

Wirtschaftliche Einigung Europas oder ein politisch "starkes" Europa nach den Vorstellungen des französischen Staatspräsidenten Charles de Gaulle? Diese Frage bestimmte die Europapolitik der Großen Koalition, die weder harmonisch noch steril war, sondern von gegensätzlichen Konzeptionen und überraschenden Wendungen geprägt wurde. Bemühungen von Bundeskanzler Kurt Georg Kiesinger, die Beziehungen zu Frankreich auszubauen, standen gegen das Drängen von Außenminister Willy Brandt auf baldigen Beitritt Großbritanniens zur Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft. Andere Kreise forderten vor allem eine Vertiefung der ökonomischen Integration. Die vorliegende Studie zeichnet auf der Grundlage neuer Quellen erstmals ein klar konturiertes Bild einer Europapolitik der Übergänge.
