This is open access book is a critical review of existing of knowledge fiber-polymer composites, complemented by an original cutting-edge analysis. Fiber-polymer composites are construction materials that offer unique properties to structural engineering and architecture if compared to traditional structural materials, e.g., reinforced concrete or steel. In addition to excellent mechanical properties, physical properties—such as low thermal conductivity, transparency, and color—they allow structural, building physics and architectural functions to be integrated into individual construction elements, thus fulfilling requirements regarding structural safety, energy efficiency, aesthetics, economy, and sustainability at the same time. Complex architectural forms and function integration can be realized in building construction or rapid replacements of deteriorated bridges to reduce the social costs due to traffic congestion. Together with such opportunities, however, composites may also exhibit limitations in their structural application, which can be caused by their anisotropy or viscoelasticity, or in terms of ductility, fatigue and fire resistance, and durability. Such limitations and opportunities of composites are discussed in the book, and it is demonstrated how limitations can be overcome and the opprtunties explored. The book is of great interest to researchers and students in the applied materials sciences as well as structural engineers and architects.

This study connects the idiosyncratic modernism of Wyndham Lewis, co-founder of the Vorticist art movement, with works of several artists from the British art rock tradition, among them Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, art-punk pioneers Wire and electronic pop musician John Foxx. By taking a transdisciplinary and intermedial approach to texts from two fields normally studied in isolation and staking out the elements of a shared modernist ethos, the book presents a new perspective on both fields relevant to scholars of literature, popular culture, and the visual arts alike. While the book rests on sound research from the fields of literary criticism, art history, and pop theory, the structure and writing of the book is fundamentally designed to be accessible and comprehensible to non-scholarly readers.

In dem durch politische Extreme geprägten Jahrzehnt von 1937 bis 1947 suchen nonkonformistische Kreise in Frankreich nach Alternativen zur Entscheidung zwischen Liberalismus und Barbarei. Konzepte von innerer Erfahrung und Gemeinschaft bilden dabei Bezugspunkte zwischen den politisch wie weltanschaulich sehr unterschiedlichen Gruppen, die nicht zuletzt weit auseinandergehende Ansichten hinsichtlich der Fortdauer des Sakralen in modernen Gesellschaften haben. Das Buch von Thomas Keller stellt erstmals in deutscher Sprache die komplexe Geschichte des französischen Nonkonformismus vor und rekonstruiert die Gemengelage nach dem Scheitern der Volksfront, während der deutschen Besatzung und vor dem Beginn des Wirtschaftswunders. Die verschiedenen Gruppierungen verfolgen dabei sehr unterschiedliche Visionen. Das Collège socratique um Georges Bataille übersetzt etwa Elemente der christlichen Mystik in den Alltag und zielt auf intensive Erfahrungen des Außersichseins. Der ökumenische Moré-Kreis hingegen, der personalistische Impulse weiterführt, ist von der Identifikation mit dem leidenden Opfer Christi angetrieben. Die Leute der Gascogne, insbesondere Bernard Charbonneau und Jacques Ellul, warnen umgekehrt vor den Sakralisierungen von Staat und Technik. Die Ökologen der ersten Stunde werden von der Frage umgetrieben, ob die anthropologische Ausstattung überhaupt eine rettende Wende zulässt. Und schließlich entwickelt Henry Corbin, einer der Hauptakteure der Eranos-Tagungen, eine differentielle und responsive Anthropologie, die Bilderwelten des Sufismus mit neueren Theorien der Affektivität verbindet. Thomas Keller entwirrt die verschlungenen Positionen dieser Gruppierungen und legt so eine vergessene, grenzüberschreitende Spur der philosophischen Anthropologie frei.

The blessings of God are a source of great hope and comfort for many believers. Among the halls of Christian literature, there are countless books dedicated to reminding believers of God''s many promises. There seems, however, to be a widespread lack of understanding of the conditional aspect of these promises and the fact that virtually half of God''s promises are curses and not blessings. With almost all of these promises being conditional in nature, it is remarkable (surprising?) that this message isn''t taught or written about in the mainstream Christian world. In his book "The Promises Of God Come With An "If," Thomas Quinn Keller seeks to present the nature of the God-man relationship by shining a light not only on all God''s promises, both the "good" and "bad, " but on man''s responsibility to them.

Whether you''ve been a believer two years or thirty, the Christian journey is just that, a journey. In a world of instant information, it almost seems unnatural for understanding and knowledge to take years. The modern day Christian, in this instant digital and "two-day shipping" world, faces a new danger of having all of the treasures of God at their fingertips and still missing Him entirely. In his booklet, The Three Year Journey, author Thomas Quinn Keller, seeks to remind the follower of Christ that the things of God take time. The responsibility of the individual before a Holy God to know the Word that has been preserved throughout the ages will be the basis on which He ultimately will be judged. Will you one day stand before the throne of God claiming another man''s understanding of God''s requirements or will your life be able to testify that not only did you know God but that He knew you? Time, not decision, defines a life that truly belongs to God. What did you do with the time you''ve been given? A short but powerful read, The Three Year Journey, sets out to present to the reader a discipline by which the days and years are used to lay a firm foundation that will not only drastically change a life but will set a course by which that life will continue steadfast to the end.

Named a Best Book of 2020 by Publisher''s Weekly Named a Best Cookbook of 2020 by Amazon and Barnes & Noble “Every elegant page projects Keller’s high standard of ‘perfect culinary execution’. . . . This superb work is as much philosophical treatise as gorgeous cookbook.” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW Bound by a common philosophy, linked by live video, staffed by a cadre of inventive and skilled chefs, the kitchens of Thomas Keller’s celebrated restaurants—The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and per se, in New York City—are in a relationship unique in the world of fine dining. Ideas bounce back and forth in a dance of creativity, knowledge, innovation, and excellence. It’s a relationship that’s the very embodiment of collaboration, and of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. And all of it is captured in The French Laundry, Per Se, with meticulously detailed recipes for 70 beloved dishes, including Smoked Sturgeon Rillettes on an Everything Bagel, “The Whole Bird,” Tomato Consommé, Celery Root Pastrami, Steak and Potatoes, Peaches ’n’ Cream. Just reading these recipes is a master class in the state of the art of cooking today. We learn to use a dehydrator to intensify the flavor and texture of fruits and vegetables. To make the crunchiest coating with a cornstarch–egg white paste and potato flakes. To limit waste in the kitchen by fermenting vegetable trimmings for sauces with an unexpected depth of flavor. And that essential Keller trait, to take a classic and reinvent it: like the French onion soup, with a mushroom essence stock and garnish of braised beef cheeks and Comté mousse, or a classic crème brûlée reimagined as a rich, creamy ice cream with a crispy sugar tuile to mimic the caramelized coating. Throughout, there are 40 recipes for the basics to elevate our home cooking. Some are old standbys, like the best versions of beurre manié and béchamel, others more unusual, including a ramen broth (aka the Super Stock) and a Blue-Ribbon Pickle. And with its notes on technique, stories about farmers and purveyors, and revelatory essays from Thomas Keller—“The Lessons of a Dishwasher,” “Inspiration Versus Influence,” “Patience and Persistence”—The French Laundry, Per Se will change how young chefs, determined home cooks, and dedicated food lovers understand and approach their cooking.

Although inhaled therapy reduces exacerbations among patients with COPD, the effectiveness of providing inhaled treatment according to recent risk-stratification models remains unclear. Are inhaled regimens that align with the 2017 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) strategy associated with clinically important outcomes? We conducted secondary analyses of Long-term Oxygen Treatment Trial data. The trial enrolled COPD patients with moderate resting or exertional hypoxemia between 2009-2015. Our exposure was the patient-reported inhaled regimen at enrollment, categorized as either aligning with, undertreating, or potentially overtreating per the 2017 GOLD strategy. Our primary outcome was hospitalization for COPD. Additional outcomes included COPD exacerbation. We generated multivariable Cox proportional-hazard models across strata of GOLD-predicted exacerbation risk (high vs low) to estimate between-group hazard ratios for outcomes. We adjusted models a priori for potential confounders, clustered by site. The trial enrolled 738 patients; 73.4% were male with mean age 68.8 years. 571 patients (77.4%) were judged to be at low risk for future exacerbations. 233 patients (31.6%) reported regimens aligning with GOLD recommendations; most regimens (54.1%) potentially overtreated. During 2.3-year median follow-up, 257 patients (34.8%) experienced hospitalization for COPD. Among high-risk patients (GOLD groups C/D), undertreatment was associated with a 49% lower risk of experiencing hospitalization for COPD than regimens that aligned with guideline recommendations (HR 0.51, 95% CI: 0.28, 0.91). Among low-risk patients (GOLD groups A/B), we found no difference in the incidence of hospitalization for COPD across categories of inhaled treatment regimens; however, potential overtreatment was associated with a 53% higher risk of COPD exacerbation (HR 1.53, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.07) and a 64% higher risk of pneumonia (IRR 1.64, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.66). Among COPD patients with moderate hypoxemia, those reporting inhaled regimens that aligned with the 2017 GOLD strategy did not experience improved clinical outcomes compared to those who were undertreated. The relatively narrow patient population and the observational nature of our study limit the interpretation of our findings. Additional studies are needed to establish the effectiveness of risk stratification model-based inhaled treatment strategies.

DIVIACP Award Winner 2019 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the acclaimed French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley—“the most exciting place to eat in the United States” (The New York Times). The most transformative cookbook of the century celebrates this milestone by showcasing the genius of chef/proprietor Thomas Keller himself. Keller is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses. Most dazzling is how simple Keller''s methods are: squeegeeing the moisture from the skin on fish so it sautées beautifully; poaching eggs in a deep pot of water for perfect shape; the initial steeping in the shell that makes cooking raw lobster out of the shell a cinch; using vinegar as a flavor enhancer; the repeated washing of bones for stock for the cleanest, clearest tastes. From innovative soup techniques, to the proper way to cook green vegetables, to secrets of great fish cookery, to the creation of breathtaking desserts; from beurre monté to foie gras au torchon, to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, The French Laundry Cookbook captures, through recipes, essays, profiles, and extraordinary photography, one of America''s great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique. One hundred and fifty superlative recipes are exact recipes from the French Laundry kitchen—no shortcuts have been taken, no critical steps ignored, all have been thoroughly tested in home kitchens. If you can''t get to the French Laundry, you can now re-create at home the very experience Wine Spectator described as “as close to dining perfection as it gets.”

New York Times bestseller IACP and James Beard Award Winner “Spectacular is the word for Keller’s latest . . . don’t miss it.” —People “A book of approachable dishes made really, really well.” —The New York Times Thomas Keller shares family-style recipes that you can make any or every day. In the book every home cook has been waiting for, the revered Thomas Keller turns his imagination to the American comfort foods closest to his heart—flaky biscuits, chicken pot pies, New England clam bakes, and cherry pies so delicious and redolent of childhood that they give Proust''s madeleines a run for their money. Keller, whose restaurants The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York have revolutionized American haute cuisine, is equally adept at turning out simpler fare. In Ad Hoc at Home—a cookbook inspired by the menu of his casual restaurant Ad Hoc in Yountville—he showcases more than 200 recipes for family-style meals. This is Keller at his most playful, serving up such truck-stop classics as Potato Hash with Bacon and Melted Onions and grilled-cheese sandwiches, and heartier fare including beef Stroganoff and roasted spring leg of lamb. In fun, full-color photographs, the great chef gives step-by-step lessons in kitchen basics— here is Keller teaching how to perfectly shape a basic hamburger, truss a chicken, or dress a salad. Best of all, where Keller’s previous best-selling cookbooks were for the ambitious advanced cook, Ad Hoc at Home is filled with quicker and easier recipes that will be embraced by both kitchen novices and more experienced cooks who want the ultimate recipes for American comfort-food classics.

A revolution in cooking Sous vide is the culinary innovation that has everyone in the food world talking. In this revolutionary new cookbook, Thomas Keller, America''s most respected chef, explains why this foolproof technique, which involves cooking at precise temperatures below simmering, yields results that other culinary methods cannot. For the first time, one can achieve short ribs that are meltingly tender even when cooked medium rare. Fish, which has a small window of doneness, is easier to finesse, and shellfish stays succulent no matter how long it''s been on the stove. Fruit and vegetables benefit, too, retaining color and flavor while undergoing remarkable transformations in texture. The secret to sous vide is in discovering the precise amount of heat required to achieve the most sublime results. Through years of trial and error, Keller and his chefs de cuisine have blazed the trail to perfection—and they show the way in this collection of never-before-published recipes from his landmark restaurants—The French Laundry in Napa Valley and per se in New York. With an introduction by the eminent food-science writer Harold McGee, and artful photography by Deborah Jones, who photographed Keller''s best-selling The French Laundry Cookbook, this book will be a must for every culinary professional and anyone who wants to up the ante and experience food at the highest level.

This book is designed to cover all the necessary bases that are essential in the conceptual design of a composite bridge or building structure, that are material-tailored and thus benefit from the unique physical, mechanical and optical properties of composites and their combinations. It is written from a combined engineering and architectural perspective because the potential multifunctional application of composites requires close collaboration between both architects and engineers. The current knowledge base for the architect and engineer (on the practical or student-level) on the design of bridge and building structures is based more on traditional materials such as concrete, steel and timber, this book is designed to show what is different when using composites and where modifications on the conceptual level have to be taken into account. A further asset of the book is that it is written from the combined perspective of a researcher but also a practical engineer. State-of-the-art research in composite construction is presented as well as future trends, based on recent research results and thus well-founded to have potential for implementation in the near future. Written from the combined perspectives of a researcher, architect and structural engineer Presents state-of-the-art research in composite construction as well as future trends, with strong emphasis on the conceptual design of a material-tailored composite bridge and building structures Includes case studies from the author’s own practical experiences on the design of the Pontresina Bridge, the Eyecatcher Building and Dock Tower in Basel, the Novartis Campus Entrance Building, and the Avancon Bridge
