Techniken des Erzählens zwischen einzelsprachlichen Traditionen und Diskurstraditionen
(Narr Francke Attempto, 2015)
Im Spannungsfeld von Sprachwandel, Diskurstraditionen und einzelsprachlichem Wissen untersucht der vorliegende Beitrag narrative Techniken im Französischen und Spanischen und beschreibt, wie bei diesen Verwendungstypen einzelsprachliche Traditionen und Diskurstraditionen zusammenwirken. Als theoretische Basis dient ein Modell der linguistischen Pragmatik, das auf Coserius Systematik der allgemeinen Struktur der Sprache und der Sprachkompetenz aufbaut. Die verbalen Kategorien, die hier mit unterschiedlichem Effekt in ...

Cartas privadas entre distancia e intimidad: el papel de la fraseología
(Peter Lang, 2018)
Private letters are dialogic interactions that are profoundly shaped by discourse traditions, communicative routines and phraseological units, especially in the salutation and conclusio. The study analyses the interplay of formulaic language and the pursuit of individuality in 16th century private letters written by Spanish emigrants from the New World to their wives in Spain.

Julien Gracq: Stadtlandschaft, Karte im Spannungsfeld von Décadence und Moderne
(Narr Verlag, 2012)
Mit Le Rivage des Syrtes (1951) und La Forme d’une ville (1985) verfasst Gracq zwei Werke, die oberflächlich betrachtet kaum gegensätzlicher sein könnten. Während der frühe Text im Umfeld der Décadence spielt, handelt der spätere von Gracqs Kindheit in einer modernen Großstadt, von seiner Internatszeit in Nantes.

Evaluation of Statistical-Downscaling/Bias-Correction Methods to Predict Hydrologic Responses to Climate Change in the Zarrine River Basin, Iran
(2018-04-20)
Modeling the hydrologic responses to future changes of climate is important for improving adaptive water management. In the present application to the Zarrine River Basin (ZRB), with the major reach being the main inflow source of Lake Urmia (LU), firstly future daily temperatures and precipitation are predicted using two statistical downscaling methods: the classical statistical downscaling model (SDSM), augmented by a trend-preserving bias correction, and a two-step updated quantile mapping (QM) method. The general ...

Farmers’ Perception of Water Quality and Risks in the Mashavera River Basin, Georgia: Analyzing the Vulnerability of the Social-Ecological System through Community Perceptions
(2018-08-28)
Competing natural resources usage that leads to dramatic land use changes can threaten the balance of a social-ecological system. When this is the case, communities are directly exposed to the negative consequences of those land use changes. The Mashavera River Basin is considered one of the hotspots of environmental pollution in Georgia. This is of importance for public health because the food production from this basin meets a substantial proportion of the country’s food demand. The farmers’ perception of the water ...

Evolution of Rural Livelihood Strategies in a Remote Sino-Mongolian Border Area: A Cross-Country Analysis
(2018-03-29)
Ecologically sound natural resources management is still the backbone of rural livelihoods in many regions of the world. The Altai-Dzungarian region between China and Mongolia constitutes an ideal site to study how political, economic, infrastructural, and cultural differences affect rural livelihoods. Structured semi-quantitative interviews were conducted with 483 households on both sides to characterise their current livelihood strategies and assess the importance of the various activities for the households’ current ...

Consumer Preferences for Local Food: Testing an Extended Norm Taxonomy
(2018-04-24)
Consumer attitudes toward consuming and buying locally produced food are well studied. By contrast, the topic of consumer preferences for local food, with a special emphasis on the role of norms, still lacks empirical evidence. To study the influence of norms and morals on the intention to buy local food products, a quantitative study (N = 327) focusing on external social and internalized moral norms was conducted using the constructs of the theory of planned behavior in combination with an extended norm taxonomy and ...

Zwischen RAF und Romantik
(Verlag Barbara Budrich, 2016)
Der 1973 erschienene Roman erzählt – ebenso wie das ein Jahr später in der Bearbeitung von Kurt Vethake produzierte Hörspiel – die Geschichte einer Erziehung zur Mündigkeit. Herr Taschenbier gehört zu jenen Menschen, die unterdrückt werden, weil sie sich unterdrücken lassen.

Aqueous Leaching Prior to Dewatering Improves the Quality of Solid Fuels from Grasslands
(2018-04-04)
Renewable energies are necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in energy production, and biomass plays a dominant role in the renewable energy sector. Combustion of biomass constitutes an efficient conversion technique, but is hindered by harmful elements which are frequently contained in residual grassland biomass. We investigated the effect of leaching on solid fuel quality with three independent experiments including the following treatments: (1) with or without leaching, (2) with leaching at various water ...

Simulation-based optimization of solar thermal systems
(2018)
In this PhD thesis application of numerical methods to simulation-based optimization of solar thermal systems both in the planning process and in operation is investigated. The optimization process starting from definition of a target function and specification of optimization parameters, moving forward with application of an optimization algorithm and ending up by sensitivity analysis at the found optimum, is described in detail. A hybrid genetic CHC – binary search algorithm is proposed and applied. As a combination ...
