"Diederich und sein Prolet”. Zur judenfeindlichen Markierung Napoleon Fischers in Heinrich Manns Untertan

In the few existing studies on Jewish characters in Heinrich Mann's narratives, the novel Der Untertan, written between 1912 and 1914, is cited as evidence that by this time, the author had overcome the blatant antisemitism expressed in his early essays. Yet an analysis of the social democrat Napoleon Fischer, a character neglected in the studies mentioned, contradicts this assumption: With his black skin and beard, his deformed arms and legs, his affinity to betrayal and falseness and his craving for power, Fischer bears the marks of a traditional ‹dangerous Jew', thereby confirming the notion of social democracy being a ‹party of Jews

Effects of particle size on CO2 reduction and discharge characteristics in a packed bed plasma reactor

Current understanding of the behaviour of plasma discharges within packed bed reactors (PBRs) is very poor, and the effects of many of the parameters that can be varied are still unknown. This article investigates the effects of particle size (180 μm to 2000 μm) of two different commonly used packing materials (Al2O3 and BaTiO3) on the conversion of CO2 in PBRs. The reactor behaviour is observed through determination of product gas composition and plasma power consumption in order to determine CO2 conversion and reactor efficiency. Electrical characterisation techniques are used to determine reactor burning voltage, and capacitances. These capacitances are subsequently used to quantify the occurrence of reactor partial discharging over a range of different operating conditions. The results indicate that smaller particles (down to 180 μm) can significantly increase CO2 conversion by up to 70%, provided that the voltage applied is sufficiently high to generate a discharge in the void spaces of the packing material. However, with decreasing particle size, the reactor burning voltage is found to increase rapidly, as well as the tendency of the reactor towards partial discharging

Druffä. Aus dem Leben eines Berner Drogensüchtigen

Pit ist seit über 25 Jahren «druffä», das heisst süchtig nach harten Drogen. In Wort und Bild gibt der Band Einblick in sein Leben in einer betreuten WG in Köniz bei Bern; begleitet ihn zur kontrollierten Drogenabgabe, wo er sein Heroin bezieht; zeigt ihn bei der Arbeit, auf Besuch bei seinen Eltern, am Grab seiner Freundin –und auf der Gasse, auf der Suche nach einem Briefli Weissem
