  • Notes of Michael J. Zeps, SJ
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History Department 1-1-2011 Documents of Baudirektion Wien 1919-1941: Notes of Michael J. Zeps, S.J. Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

Economic relationships lead to the determination of behavior towards resources, including those related to biodiversity. Human interventions are not negative only by making maximum use of biological resources, but also through activities that do not directly target these categories. The main ways humans contribute to the degradation of biodiversity are: modification and destruction of habitats, voluntary and involuntary transfer of species, overexploitation in all areas, starting with resources. The purpose of this research is to highlight the importance of protected areas in the world, as well as in Romania, highlighting economic activities that help to preserve and protect nature and the natural environment, activities that are included in management plans for sustainable development.

Bread is served in various forms with any meal of the day. It is eaten as a snack, and used as an ingredient in other culinary preparations, such as sandwiches, and fried items coated in bread crumbs to prevent sticking. It forms the bland main component of bread pudding, as well as of stuffing designed to fill cavities or retain juices that otherwise might drip out. Bread has a social and emotional significance beyond its importance as nourishment. It plays essential roles in religious rituals and secular culture. Its prominence in daily life is reflected in language, where it appears in proverbs, colloquial expressions ("He stole the bread from my mouth"), in prayer ("Give us this day our daily bread") and in the etymology of words, such as "companion" (from Latin comes "with" + panis "bread"). 1.2 OBJECTIVE The Objective of this unit is to provide: 1.

Subsequent forecasts also indicated a high risk of flooding for the Meuse River basin, affecting Belgium. The magnitude of the floods forecasted for the Rhine River basin increased significantly in this period. The first EFAS notifications were sent to the relevant national authorities starting on 10 July and, with the continuously updated forecasts, more than 25 notifications were sent for specific regions of the Rhine and Meuse River basins in the following days until 14 July. Figure: EFAS flood forecast from 12.07.2021 00:00 UTC Providing early and current maps of flooded areas On 13 July, the CEMS Rapid Mapping component was activated to map the ongoing floods in parts of Western Germany (EMSR517 Mapping Website , EMSR517 Activation Viewer). As a flood peak was foreseen on 16 July for segments of other rivers, CEMS preemptively acquired satellite images of the vulnerable area through Pre-Tasking on 14 July. These early images informed ensuing activations by the CEMS Rapid Mapping component based on the EFAS forecasts for areas in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France.

It was the victory of liberalism and the constitutional state, a victory which had immediate and phenomenal demographic and social consequences. In 1857, Vienna had a total population of 287,824, of which 6,217 (2.16 per cent) were Jews.

  • Results of Recent Terrace Research in the Middle Rhine Valley
    Results of Recent Terrace Research in the Middle Rhine Valley A lot of questions concerning the sequence of terraces in the Middle Rhine Valley as well as their genetic dependence on geological, geomorphological and climatic processes remain insufficiently answered. So far, three issues in particular have required further examination: -The phenomenon of the horizontal consistency ("Horizontalkonstanz") of the main terraces cannot be explained coherently. -Studies from adjoining valleys of the Nahe and Lahn rivers, have identified larger numbers of terraces within the upper terrace group (ANDRES & SEWERING 1983; GÖRG 1984; SEWERING 1993). -Unsolved problems concerning the positions and ages of the older (äHT) and younger (jHT) main terraces. Given these problems, we started re-mapping the terraces of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley by conducting numerous borehole drillings. Our results, which we combined with the findings presented in previous studies, demonstrate the existence of a total of 28 alluvial sediment bodies in the valleys of the rivers Nahe and Rhine between Bad Kreuznach, Bingen and Boppard (GÖRG 1984; PREUSS 1983; ANDRES & PREUSS 1983; PREUSS, BURGER & SIEGLER 2015). For the Lower Middle Rhine Valley we mainly used the publications of BIBUS (1980), HOSELMANN (1994) AND BOENIGK & HOSELMANN (2003). For the Moselle and Lahn CORDIER et al. (2006, 2014) and SEWERING (1993) provided helpful insights. Further information was obtained from FUCHS et al. (1983), BIBUS & SEMMEL (1977)AND SEMMEL (2009). .The Downstream Correlation Diagram (DCD) of river terraces in the Lower Nahe and Upper Middle Rhine Valley (see Fig. 1) contains 28 alluvial sediment bodies. They were identified at key locations with more than 720 borehole drillings, many of them in clusters, which in most cases reached the rockbed of the river terraces.

  • Sedimentary Microplastic Concentrations from the Romanian
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sedimentary microplastic concentrations from the Romanian Danube River to the Black Sea Iulian Pojar1, Adrian Stănică1*, Friederike Stock2, Christian Kochleus2, Michael Schultz1 & Chris Bradley3 A multitude of recent studies have detailed microplastic concentrations in aquatic and terrestrial environments, although questions remain over their ultimate fate. At present, few studies have detailed microplastic characteristics and abundance along a freshwater–marine interface, and considerable uncertainties remain over the modelled contribution of terrestrial and riverine microplastic to the world’s oceans. In this article, for the frst time, we detail sedimentary microplastic concentrations along a River–Sea transect from the lower reaches of a major continental river, the River Danube, through the Danube Delta, the Black Sea coast to the Romanian and Bulgarian inner shelf of the Black Sea. Our results indicate that isolated areas of the Danube Delta are still relatively pristine, with few microplastic particles in some of the sediments sampled.
