    Improved Holographic QCD

    Full text link
    We provide a review to holographic models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity with a potential in 5 dimensions. Such theories, for a judicious choice of potential are very close to the physics of large-N YM theory both at zero and finite temperature. The zero temperature glueball spectra as well as their finite temperature thermodynamic functions compare well with lattice data. The model can be used to calculate transport coefficients, like bulk viscosity, the drag force and jet quenching parameters, relevant for the physics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma.Comment: LatEX, 65 pages, 28 figures, 9 Tables.

    Motivation for Innovations - Experiences and Reflections

    Full text link
    Motivation is a vital part of success in the chemical industry. Besides having the right knowledge and skills at hand to bring innovations on its way, there are plenty of other supporting characteristics like intuition and enthusiasm, persistence and assertiveness, integrity and team spirit as well as great commitment and entrepreneurial thinking. This statement is strengthen in the article by presenting the prize-winning innovators of the Meyer-Galow-Prize and what is needed to become a pioneer in the chemical industry
