The extant generalizations about the grammar of space rely heavily on the analyses of declarative sentences. There is a need to check whether these generalizations also hold in the domain of interrogation. To this end this book analyzes data from some 450 languages (including non-standard varieties). The focus is on paradigms of spatial interrogatives such as English where, whither and whence and their internal organization. These paradigms are checked for recurrent patterns of morphological mismatches (such as syncretism) and different degrees of complexity (e.g. the number of segments). The data-base consists of a large parallel literary corpus (Le petit prince and translations thereof) which is complemented by further sources of information such as descriptive grammars. The data are analyzed from a synchronic perspective. However, diachronic issues are addressed unsystematically, too. It is shown that the distribution of phenomena which characterize paradigms of spatial interrogatives are subject to areal-linguistic factors. This is the first typological study of spatial interrogatives. It provides new insights for students of the grammar of space, morphological paradigms, and language typology.

The increasing use of automated laser welding processes causes high demands on process monitoring. This work demonstrates methods that use a camera mounted on the focussing optics to perform pre-, in-, and post-process monitoring of welding processes. The implementation uses machine learning methods. All algorithms consider the integration into industrial processes. These challenges include a small database, limited industrial manufacturing inference hardware, and user acceptance.

This summary, together with the one on farm crops, by the use of maps and supplementary charts, portrays the quantitative and geographic significance of production of the Nation's food supply.

This practical compendium provides clinical scientists with an essential guide to the basic techniques of molecular medicine. It serves as a laboratory manual and a source of reference. It is suitable for those wishing to perform basic semi-quantitative experiments such as Northern or Southern blots and also those wishing to undertake more specialised genetic manipulations such as gene cloning, expression and creation of DNA libraries. It will give clinical scientists a unique insight into the potential of these techniques. As stated by Sir David Weatherall: 'It should be of great value to both established research workers and young scientists coming into the field for the first time. It deserves every success.'

English summary: The Scandinavian institution of the ombudsman has been implemented in nearly all European legal systems. Meanwhile, there are multiple interpretations of what characterizes this legal institution. Julia Haas shows that the profiling of the ombudsman as a core figure of European administrative law requires a focus on its classical role in administrative supervision and develops the legal concept of a control-oriented model ombudsman. German description: Die aus dem skandinavischen Recht stammende Ombudsmann-Institution ist in ihrer klassischen Auspragung als unabhangige, meist parlamentarisch angebundene Einrichtung zur Uberprufung der Recht- und Ordnungsmassigkeit des Verwaltungshandelns aufgrund von Beschwerden oder aus eigener Initiative in nahezu allen europaischen Rechtsordnungen vertreten. Aufgrund der lander-, aber auch rechts- und sachgebietsubergreifenden Verbreitung des Rechtsinstituts besteht inzwischen eine Vielzahl begrifflicher, funktionaler und dogmatischer Interpretationsansatze, die einen Ombudsmann charakterisieren. Julia Haas zeigt, dass fur die Profilierung des offentlich-rechtlichen Ombudsmanns als Kernfigur des europaischen Verwaltungsrechts eine Fokussierung auf dessen Funktion der Verwaltungskontrolle erforderlich ist und entwickelt ein eigenes Modell des idealtypischen Kontroll-Ombudsmanns zur Durchsetzung des Rechts und der Grundsatze einer guten Verwaltung.
