Overview: Our requirement for plant breeders to be successful has never been greater. However one views the forecasted numbers for future population growth we will need, in the immediate future, to be feeding, clothing and housing many more people than we do, inadequately, at present. Plant breeding represents the most valuable strategy in increasing our productivity in a way that is sustainable and environmentally sensitive. Plant breeding can rightly be considered as one of the oldest multidisciplin­ ary subjects that is known to humans. It was practised by people who first started to carry

Overview: Chemische Studie zur Wasserglashärtung mit Aluminium-Tetrametaphosphat.Eine chemische Studie.Eine Studie zur chemischen Härtung von Natrium- und Kalium-Wassergläsern.Ali Masoudi Alavi untersucht die kristallinen Reaktionsprodukte bei der chemischen Härtung von Natrium- und Kalium-Wassergläsern mit Aluminium-Tetrametaphosphat. Der Autor findet dabei Hinweise auf den Härtungsmechanismus und zeigt, dass die Härtungsreaktion in zwei Stufen erfolgt. Im ersten Schritt findet eine Ionen-Austausch-Reaktion zwischen den Alkali-Ionen des Wasserglases und Aluminium-Ionen des Metaphosphats statt

Overview: The first references to statistical extremes may perhaps be found in the Genesis (The Bible, vol. I): the largest age of Methu‘selah and the concrete applications faced by Noah-- the long rain, the large flood, the structural safety of the ark --. But as the pre-history of the area can be considered to last to the first quarter of our century, we can say that Statistical Extremes emer­ ged in the last half-century. It began with the paper by Dodd in 1923, followed quickly by the papers of Fre-chet in 1927 and Fisher and Tippett in 1928, after by the papers by de Finetti in 1932, by G

Overview: Die theoretische Modellierung und empirische Untersuchung von Kettenmigrationsprozessen folgt der These, dass bei der Entscheidung zur Migration soziale Beziehungen der Migranten von zentraler Bedeutung sind. Anhand eines Überblicks über die Literatur wird gezeigt, dass dieser Sachverhalt in klassischen Erklärungsansätzen wenig Berücksichtigung findet. Neuere Ansätze dagegen weisen auf die Bedeutung sozialer Netzwerke und kumulativer Prozesse bei der Migration hin, vernachlässigen aber die ökonomischen Aspekte von Migrationsentscheidungen. Um klassische und neuere Ansätze miteinander
