    Paperback. Zustand: Good. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist das Ergebnis von mehr als einem Jahr Bem hungen und Forschungen zweier enthusiastischer Studenten, die laut ihrem fr hen Lebenslauf vielversprechend im Bereich FEA sind, und vieler Fachleute, darunter Dr. Hossein Tourang, der eine gro e Rolle dabei spielte, die beiden bei der Vorbereitung dieses Textes zu inspirieren und zu ermutigen. Im Hinblick auf die Leser sind einige Punkte zu unserer Arbeit erw hnenswert: 1. Wir haben fast alle wichtigen Referenzen und Quellen zu diesem Thema untersucht und unsere numerischen Ergebnisse anhand dieser berpr ft. Nachdem wir einen neuartigen und originellen Ansatz zur Schwei prozesssimulation mittels FEA entwickelt hatten, versp rten wir das Bed rfnis, den Simulationsprozess zu verdeutlichen und seine numerischen Ergebnisse zu interpretieren. 2. In diesem Text werden viele n tzliche Tipps zur gekoppelten FEA-Analyse zu Anfangs- und Randbedingungen, Eingabedaten vor dem Prozess, Vernetzungsregeln usw. gegeben, die es erm glichen, auf das Schreiben komplexer Unterprogramme und/oder den Kauf zus tzlicher Plug-ins f r bliche Zwecke zu verzichten. Schlie lich sind Sch den an Rohrleitungen in Kraftwerken, insbesondere in Kernkraftwerken, u erst gef hrlich, weshalb die Vorhersage ihrer Lebensdauer von h chster Priorit t ist. Dieser Text kann als Leitfaden f r dieses Thema dienen. Conant, Isabelle Hunt (illustrator).…

    Zustand: Good. During the desperate winter of 1940, as the threat of German invasion hung over England, the British government mounted a massive, secret campaign of propaganda to weaken the isolationist sentiment in America and manipulate the country into entering the war on England's behalf. Under the command of the now legendary INTREPID, the British planted propaganda in American newspapers, covertly influenced radio stations and wire services, and plotted against American corporations doing business with the Third Reich. They also pushed President Roosevelt to create a similar covert intelligence agency in the US, and played a role in the selection of William Donovan as its head. Now for the first time, with great research and reporting, Jennet Conant reveals that the beloved author Roald Dahl was a member of Churchill's infamous dirty tricks squad, and tells the full story of how he was recruited to spy on the Americans during World War II.…

    Hardback. Zustand: Good. Scott Conant's five Scarpetta restaurants all garner rave reviews, but many know Conant best from his regular appearances on Food Network shows like Chopped (as a frequent judge) and on Bravo's Top Chef. He and his restaurants have been cited on such lists as Esquire's "Best New Restaurants in America." The subject of this cookbook, Scarpetta, received a three-star review from the New York Times and there are locations in Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Toronto, all opened in just the past few years. This gorgeous book includes 125 of the restaurant's signature dishes - Creamy Polenta with Fricassee of Truffled Mushrooms, Spaghetti with Tomato and Basil, Fennel-Dusted Black Cod - written with the goal of teaching readers to master techniques so they learn to really cook, rather than merely follow recipe steps without any thought of the hows and whys behind the method. The recipes and photography reflect the Milan-meets-Tuscany style of Scarpetta, interspersed with sidebars about everything from ingredient shopping to tips on entertaining at home.…

    Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The untold story of an eccentric Wall Street tycoon and the circle of scientific geniuses he assembled before World War I to develop the science for radar and the atomic bomb. Together they changed the course of history. Legendary financier, philanthropist, and society figure Alfred Lee Loomis gathered the most visionary scientific minds of the twentieth century--Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, and others--at his state-of-the-art laboratory in Tuxedo Park, New York, in the late 1930s. He established a top-secret defense laboratory at MIT and personally bankrolled pioneering research into new, high-powered radar detection systems that helped defeat the German Air Force and U-boats. With Ernest Lawrence, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, he pushed Franklin Delano Roosevelt to fund research in nuclear fission, which led to the development of the atomic bomb. Jennet Conant, the granddaughter of James Bryant Conant, one of the leading scientific advisers of World War I, enjoyed unprecedented access to Loomis' papers, as well as to people intimately involved in his life and work. She pierces through Loomis' obsessive secrecy and illuminates his role in assuring the Allied victory.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The rollicking true story of British spies who shaped American policy during WI, told by the bestselling author of 109 East Palace. When dashing young RAF pilot Roald Dahl (that Roald Dahl) took up his post at the British Embassy in 1942, his assignment was to use his good looks, wit, and charm to gain access to the most powerful figures in American political life. He and his co-conspirators David Ogilvy, Ivar Bryce, and Ian Fleming (that Ian Fleming) called themselves the Baker Street Irregulars after the band of street urchins in some Sherlock Holmes stories. Their goals: to weaken the American isolationist forces, bring the country into the war against Germany, and influence U.S. policy in favor of England. Their mastermind: Churchill's legendary spy chief, William Stephenson, code name Intrepid, who would later serve as the model for Fleming's James Bond.

When dashing young RAF pilot Roald Dahl (that Roald Dahl) took up his post at the British Embassy in 1942, his assignment was to use his good looks, wit, and charm to gain access to the most powerful figures in American political life.

    Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1943, Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant, charismatic head of the Manhattan Project, recruited scientists to live as virtual prisoners of the U.S. government at Los Alamos, a barren mesa thirty-five miles outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. Thousands of men, women, and children spent the war years sequestered in this top-secret military facility. They lied to friends and family about where they were going and what they were doing and then disappeared into the desert. The women came despite the Army's initial objections, as Oppenheimer insisted that would be the only way to recruit the world-class physicists and keep them reasonably sane and content during the years it would take to create this revolutionary new weapon. Conant shows how the stringent security, lack of privacy, spartan living conditions, and loneliness of the isolated mountain hideaway drove some residents to the brink of despair. Yet only a handful gave up and left. Through the eyes of a young Santa Fe widow who was one of Oppenheimer's first recruits, we see how, for all his flaws, he developed into an inspiring leader and motivated all those involved in the Los Alamos project to make a supreme effort and achieve the unthinkable.…
