Contested Home
»Home« is both personal and political, static and dynamic, familiar and unfamiliar. Through ethnographic research with asylum-seekers at a church-based refugee program in Basel, Switzerland, Katherine Kunz explores the role of government, church, volunteers, and refugees in defining belonging. By examining asylum systems, the role of place and agency, and religious motivations, she reveals home as shaped by systems that often obscure its essential vulnerability and multiplicity. This study is of interest to anyone who has considered belonging through the lenses of migration, borders, or religion and to those who have questioned their own relationship to home.
Religion and Migration
This volume explores religious discourses and practices of hospitality in the context of migration. It articulates the implied ambivalences and even contradictions as well as the potential to contribute to a more just world through social interconnection with others. The book features contributors from diverse national, denominational, cultural, and racial backgrounds. Their essays reveal a dichotomy of hospitality between guest and host, while tackling the meaning of home or the loss of it, interrogating both the peril and promise of the relationship between religion, chiefly Christianity, and hospitality, and focusing on the role of migrants' vulnerability and agency, by drawing from empir...
New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VIII
This volume contains the contributions to the 17th Symposium of STAB (German Aerospace Aerodynamics Association). STAB includes German scientists and engineers from universities, research establishments and industry doing research and project work in numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, mainly for aerospace but also for other applications. Many of the contributions collected in this book present results from national and European Community sponsored projects. This volume gives a broad overview of the ongoing work in this field in Germany and spans a wide range of topics: airplane aerodynamics, multidisciplinary optimization and new configurations, hypersonic flows and aerothermodynamics, flow control (drag reduction and laminar flow control), rotorcraft aerodynamics, aeroelasticity and structural dynamics, numerical simulation, experimental simulation and test techniques, aeroacoustics as well as the new fields of biomedical flows, convective flows, aerodynamics and acoustics of high-speed trains.

The collection presents early findings and case studies on a wide range of areas, including: Test Design and Inverse Method Algorithms, Inverse Problems: Virtual Fields Method, Material Characterizations, Using Thermography Fatigue, Damage & Fracture Evaluation Using Infrared, Thermography Mechanics of Additive & Advanced Manufactured Materials, DIC Methods & Its Application,s Photoelasticity and Interferometry Applications, Micro-Optics and Microscopic Systems, Multiscale and New Developments in Optical Methods.
Nazi Gold
Drawing on scores of interviews, previously unrevealed intelligence documents from many countries, the U.S. State Department Report, as well as archives of England, Argentina, France, and Italy, Carpozi makes public startling information about the dealings all these nations had with Nazi Germany and follows the trail of the valuables stolen from victims of the Holocaust.
