Here is the story of a boy growing up in Germany prior to the Second World War that describes family life, schooling, and time in the military. Horst Baier became part of the German military, first as a youthful Brown Shirt and in 1942, when he was conscripted. His life in the German army is colorfully described, including the training. The long journey to the Russian front and the fighting there eventually led to his hospitalization and his chance meeting of a girl who would eventually become his wife. He was captured in Italy and became a prisoner of war in Egypt. Horsts marriage, travel to Canada, and eventually employment with the Ford Motor Co. in the United States of America and citizenship makes a happy ending.

This completely updated second edition of Radiation Exposure and Image Quality in X-ray Diagnostic Radiology provides the reader with detailed guidance on the optimization of radiological imaging. The basic physical principles of diagnostic radiology are first presented in detail, and their application to clinical problems is then carefully explored. The final section is a supplement containing tables of data and graphical depictions of X-ray spectra, interaction coefficients, characteristics of X-ray beams, and other aspects relevant to patient dose calculations. In addition, a complementary CD-ROM contains a user-friendly Excel file database covering these aspects that can be used in the reader’s own programs. This book will be an invaluable aid to medical physicists when performing calculations relating to patient dose and image quality, and will also prove useful for diagnostic radiologists and engineers.

The English translation of the three-volume Exegetisches Wrterbuch zum Neuen Testament, this monumental work by an ecumenical group of scholars is first of all a complete English dictionary of New Testament Greek. Going beyond that, however EDNT also serves as a guide to the usage of every New Testament word in its various contexts, and it makes a significant contribution to New Testament exegesis and theology. EDNT's thorough, lengthy discussions of more significant words and its grouping of words related by root and meaning (with alphabetical cross-references) distinguish it from simpler Greek-English lexicons. Advancing the discussion of the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, EDNT summarizes more recent treatments of numerous questions in New Testament study and takes into consideration newer viewpoints of linguistics.

William Wisting blir kontaktad av ledaren för en grupp människor som funnit varandra på internet och som tillsammans försöker lösa det ouppklarade mordet på den australiensiske backpackaren Ruby Thompson. En av de mest aktiva medlemmarna kallar sig Astria och har uppgett att hon kommer från Norge. Hon har sagt sig vara nära en möjlig lösning men så blir det plötsligt helt tyst från henne. Motvilligt låter sig Wisting fascineras och dras in i den okonventionella efterforskningen som gruppen håller på med och det visar sig vara vägen in i ett kriminalfall med många förgreningar.

Diese vollständig überarbeitete und aktualisierte Neuauflage des klassischen Lehrbuches beinhaltet neben den Grundlagen der NMR-Spektroskopie auch die der Spektreninterpretation. Ohne viel Mathematik bietet der Text eine Einleitung und deckt somit auch den Lehrstoff von Hochschulkursen ab. Der Hauptanteil des Buches ist nach wie vor der NMR-Spektroskopie an Lösungen gewidmet, doch wurden auch verstärkt Untersuchungen an Festkörpern und die Analyse von Biopolymeren berücksichtigt. Zum Schluss werden einige Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Kernspintomographie und der Kombination von Tomographie und Spektroskopie besprochen. Ergänzt wurde jedes Kapitel um Aufgaben, deren Lösungsvorschläge im Anschluss an Kapitel 14 zu finden sind. Mit seiner übersichtlichen Darstellung ist dieses Buch ein Muss für Studenten, Dozenten und Anwender der NMR-Spektroskopie in der Chemie, Biochemie und Pharmazie.
