    54Th Tutzing Symposium

    Programme 27 – 30 September 2015 Evangelische Akademie Tutzing, Lake Starnberg, Germany 54th Tutzing Symposion Sustainable Phyto extracts – Trends, Perspectives and Visions www.dechema.de/tusy54 invitation The Subject Division Plant based Extracts – Products and Processes of ProcessNet (an initiative of DECHEMA – Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology and VDI·GVC – Division Chemical and Process Engineering of the Association of German Engineers), is pleased to invite you to the 54th Tutzing Symposion: Sustainable Phyto Extracts – Trends, Perspectives and Visions, which will take place from 27 – 30 September 2015, Tutzing, Germany. Plant based extracts, i.e. phyto extracts, are important ingredients in a wide variety of market segments from pharmaceuticals, foods and fragrants to base chemicals. The generation of added value is as wide spread from breeding over processing up to marketing, whereas the products are per definition biodegradable. Parts of this economy are highly regulated and the regulation varies depending on local or regional legislation. Nevertheless, almost all European industries involved are under increasing international competition pressure. The Symposion is designed to foster exchange and discussion in the areas of sustainable plant production, novel manufacturing technologies, sustainable extraction, distillation and purification processes, application and marketing of extracts. The focus themes are complemented by ethical views, practical “exercises” with products containing or consisting of extracts and a workshop session to discuss and develop innovation strategies. The Tutzing Symposion will again provide a unique platform and ample time to exchange ideas between leading scientists and decision makers. The venue is located directly at the shores of Lake Starnberg 40 km south of Munich and is only about 30 (60) minutes away by train from Munich central station (airport).

  • British Imperialism in Books from the “Third Reich”

    British Imperialism in Books from the “Third Reich”

    Empire and National Character: British Imperialism in Books from the “Third Reich” Victoria Jane Stiles, MA, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the variety of representations and rhetorical deployments of the theme of British Imperialism within books published in the “Third Reich”. The thesis considers these books not only as vehicles for particular ideas and arguments but also as consumer objects and therefore as the product of a series of compromises between the needs of a host of actors, both official and commercial. It further traces the origins of the component parts of these texts via the history of reuse of images and extracts and by identifying earlier examples of particular tropes of “Englishness” and the British Empire. British imperial history was a rich source of material for National Socialist writers and educators to draw on and lent itself to a wide variety of arguments. Britain could be, in turns, a symbol of “Nordic” strength, a civilisation in decline, a natural ally and protector of Germany, or a weak, corrupt, outdated entity, controlled by Germany’s supposed enemies. Drawing on a long tradition of comparing European colonial records, the British Empire was also used as a benchmark for Germany’s former imperial achievements, particularly in moral arguments regarding the treatment of indigenous populations. Through its focus on books, which were less ephemeral than media such as newspaper and magazine articles, radio broadcasts or newsreels, the thesis demonstrates how newer writings sought to recontextualise older material in the light of changing circumstances.

    XA04C0175 After the Reactor-Accident in Tschernobyl Radioactive Fission Products Reached During the Night on April, 30Th,1986, the South Bavarian Region

    Effect and consequences of the reactor-accident in Tschernobyl on the fish population in Bavaria Wulf Liinsmann XA04C0175 After the reactor-accident in Tschernobyl radioactive fission products reached during the night on April, 30th,1986, the south bavarian region. They were washed out by heavy rains in the early hours of the afternoon, causing a contamination of the total biosphere. It is known from radio-eclogical studies, that radionuclides concentrate in fish meat. Ionising radiation may lead to an internal radiation exposition of human beings via food chains. It was for that reason necessary to follow up the temporal development in order to prevent injures through ionising radiation. The Bavarian Institute for Water Research started on May, 5th, a project in connection with fish consumption and investi- gated fish meat for radioactivity, originated from 3 different biotopes: a) rivers b) fish-farms c) lakes in the prealpine region Altogether approximately 700 fishes were examined until the end of October. Fish-meat contained until the middle of May besides Cs 134 and Cs 137 also the short-living radionuclides J 131 and Te132 (20 - 30 Bq/kg fresh meat). After that date could only Cs 134 and Cs 137 be demon- strated. Since both cesium-isotopes in the Tschernobyl-fallout occur in a 1:2 ratio, only the result of Cs 137 are reported. to a and b During the whole investigation period Cs 137 concentrations of 0 - 50 Bq/kg in fresh meat could be demonstrated in fishes of rivers all over Bavaria, only occasionally values occured up to 100 Bq/kg.
