Overview: Chemische Thermodynamik: kompakt und modern mit zahlreichen BeispielenDie Thermodynamik wurde im 19. Jahrhundert zur Beschreibung von Prozessen in Wärme­ kraftmaschinen entwickelt. In weiterer Folge wurde klar, daß die thermodynamischen Prin­ zipien auch die Beschreibung der Gleichgewichtszustände der Stoffe sowie der Phasen-und Reaktionsgleichgewichte ermöglichen. Diese Erweiterung stellte einen wesentlichen Schritt auf dem Weg der Chemie zu einer exakten Wissenschaft dar. Im Laufe der Zeit ist daraus mit der chemischen Thermodynamik eine selbständige Disziplin entstanden, die heute

Overview: The last two years have witnessed a continuation in the breakthrough shift toward pulse tube cryocoolers for long-life, high-reliability cryocooler applications. One class of pulse tubes that has reached maturity is referred to as “Stirling type” because they are based on the linear Oxford Stirling-cooler type compressor; these generally provide cooling in the 30 to 100 K temperature range and operate at frequencies from 30 to 60 Hz. The other type of pulse tube cooler making great advances is the so-called “Gifford-McMahon type. ” Pulse tube coolers of this type use a G-M type compr

Overview: With the rise of analytical philosophy the criticism against Hegelianism has become increasingly shrill, and signs of an embarrassment that Hegel‘s philosophy should ever have arisen are noticeable in such inftuential works as those of Karl Popper and Hans Reichenbach, to mention but a few. However, many contemporary philosophers stress what is called subjectivity, conceiving reality as susceptible of methodical analysis only to the extent that it is in and for the subject. What is more, they not only insist on the importance of the subject for philosophy, but maintain that the subje
