MS-238: Prisoner of War Letters from World Wars I and II

This collection consists of various correspondence between POWs and their families, including 86 letters, 174 postcards, and about eight package slips during both world wars. Most of this correspondence was authored by the prisoners and sent to their families from camps in Europe, although it contains some correspondence from camps in Asia and Africa. The collection also contains correspondence from prisoners in concentration camps, such as Auschwitz, and from interned civilians in France and Germany. Because these letters were the main way to contact family members, most of the POW correspondence contain thoughts of homesickness and loneliness along with updates on an individual’s health and the various activities around the camps, including work and leisure. There is also correspondence from families to the prisoners which describe family life but also express sentiments for good health and a quick and safe return. There are also about 143 empty envelopes addressed to various places, including Copenhagen, Denmark and the Red Cross headquarters in Switzerland. Moreover, there are correspondence and envelopes from just before and after World War II, including envelopes commemorating French liberation and postcards to the United Nations from prisoners of the Spanish government begging for intervention in their imprisonment by Francisco Franco. In addition, there are various other items in the collection, including a gardening manual and nine photos from a Taiwanese prison camp, unused postcards, seven postage receipts, stamps from India, a work-receipt from Burma, and three anti-Semitic labels from Belgium, as well as various materials from previous owners of the collection. It should be noted that the items in the collection are written in many different languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Polish, and Russian, although some translations are included by previous owners of the collection.

Fact Sheet Best-Practice MUV national: Potsdam. Verkehrliche und stadtplanerische Maßnahmen zur Neuverteilung und Umwidmung von Verkehrsflächen des motorisierten Verkehrs zugunsten aktiver Mobilität und einer nachhaltigen urbanen Siedlungsstruktur mit hoher Lebensqualität (MUV)

Die Ende 2019 fertiggestellte Umgestaltung der Verkehrsmagistrale Konrad-Wolf-Allee zu einer begrünten Multifunktionsfläche in der Großwohnsiedlung Drewitz in Stadtrandlage Potsdams ist ein gelungenes Beispiel der Steigerung der Aufenthalts- und Lebensqualität zur Aufwertung peripherer Stadtgebiete. Durch den Rückbau von Fahrbahnen und Parkplätzen konnten gewonnene Flächen begrünt und mit Stadtmobiliar aufgelockert werden. Aufenthalts- und Grünflächen fügen sich ebenso wie die eingebettete Straßenbahnlinie als verbindende Elemente in das Stadtbild ein. Dieses Fact Sheet wurden im Vorhaben „Verkehrliche und stadtplanerische Maßnahmen zur Neuverteilung und Umwidmung von Verkehrsflächen des motorisierten Verkehrs zugunsten aktiver Mobilität und einer nachhaltigen urbanen Siedlungsstruktur mit hoher Lebensqualität“ (FKZ 3719 15 1050) erarbeitet

Las w literaturze niemieckiej na Górnym Śląsku : Przechadzka

The present article has been inspired by a reflection that, despite the transformations that have taken place in the Upper Silesia region, primarily in the new millennium, this region is still perceived through the prism of industry, and its perception is dominated by black colour, in a literal and metaphorical sense. The author of the article tries to break this stereotypical image by making a review of selected forest landscapes recorded on the pages of German literature inspired by local colours

An equivalence between gauge-twisted and topologically conditioned scalar Gaussian free fields

We study on the metric graphs two types of scalar Gaussian free fields (GFF), the usual one and the one twisted by a $\{-1,1\}$-valued gauge field. We show that the latter can be obtained, up to an additional deterministic transformation, by conditioning the first on a topological event. This event is that all the sign clusters of the field should be trivial for the gauge field, that is to say should not contain loops with holonomy $-1$. We also express the probability of this topological event as a ratio of two determinants of Laplacians to the power $1/2$, the usual Laplacian and the gauge-twisted Laplacian. As an example, this gives on annular planar domains the probability that no sign cluster of the metric graph GFF surrounds the inner hole of the domain.Comment: 27 pages, 7 figure

Анализ физической адекватности численного расчета коэффициента восстановления температуры при различных вариантах постановки задачи

The paper studies a recovery temperature distribution in a turbulent boundary layer of the compressible gas in a rectangular heat-insulated channel in supersonic flow mode using the numerical methods of gas dynamics. The software package ANSYS Fluent was used for calculation.In the numerical simulation were used SST and k-epsilon turbulence models with two types of thermal boundary conditions on the channel wall: the standard adiabatic condition, provided by the software package, as well as the user boundary condition (UDF) based on the empirical dependence of the recovery factor in a turbulent boundary layer on the Prandtl number of the medium.A data analysis showed that an application of the standard boundary condition of a heatinsulated wall, in some cases, results in recovery factor values on the wall, corresponding to the laminar rather than turbulent boundary layer.For all options of the numerical model under consideration was found a non-zero value of the heat flow to the adiabatic wall. In the case of setting the user boundary conditions, this fact is due to the approximate nature of the dependence of the recovery factor on the Prandtl number.For standard boundary condition of an adiabatic wall the most likely explanation for this result is a feature of the numerical solution scheme, according to which, to set the zero heat flow, is used a number of ghost cells, which can lead to the heat pattern distortion in the computational domain in the vicinity of the wall.Correction of boundary conditions using an empirical relationship for the recovery factor enabled us to reduce the heat flows and have a better approximation of the adiabatic boundary condition.Thus, it follows from the data obtained that the calculation of heat exchange in a turbulent boundary layer by means of ANSYS Fluent software physically yet does not provide the adequate results, and for its update at the moment the third party experimental data are required.Методами численной газодинамики было проведено исследование распределения температуры торможения в турбулентном пограничном слое сжимаемого газа в прямоугольном теплоизолированном канале при сверхзвуковом режиме течения. Была проведена сравнительная оценка адекватности данных, получаемых при использовании k - e 8 SST моделей турбулентности и различных вариантах постановки граничных условий. Показано, что наложение стандартного граничного условия в виде теплоизолированной стенки иногда приводит к занижению коэффициента восстановления температуры на стенке. При этом для получения корректного граничного условия адиабатности необходима дополнительная верификация с использованием эмпирических зависимостей для коэффициента восстановления температуры.
