Na hornom úseku Dunaja, t. j. od prístavu Viedeň po prístav Kelheim sa nachádza desať prístavov, ktoré spravujú určité spoločnosti. Prístavy sa podieľajú na preprave nákladov od odosielateľa k ...príjemcovi, pričom v prístavoch prebieha prekládka týchto nákladov medzi prostriedkami vodnej, železničnej a cestnej dopravy priamo alebo s medziskladovaním. Každý prístav je špecifický svojimi prekládkovými a skladovacími možnosťami, čo odlišuje jednotlivé prístavy.
Die Protagonisten des Buches Camillo Sitte, Otto Wagner, Josef Maria Olbrich, Joseph August Lux, Oskar Strnad und Felix Augenfeld schufen von den spaten 1880er Jahren bis 1938 uber die Zasur des ...Weltkriegs hinaus eine moderne und ortspezifische Architektur. Den Bedurfnissen einer modernen Massengesellschaft wollten sie mit differenzierten Stadtraumen und kontextuell eingebundenen Bauten Rechnung tragen. In der Formulierung dieser ortspezifischen Variante einer dezidiert modernen Architektur spielten neuentwickelte, nicht-historistische Vergangenheitsbezuge eine wichtige Rolle wie etwa die Entdeckung der vernakularen Architektur der Wiener Innenstadt und der Vorstadte aus dem Vormarz. In funf unterschiedlich zugeschnittenen Kapiteln werden architektonische Schlusselwerke und Theorien in ihrem unmittelbaren Entstehungskontext rekontextualisiert.
Dunaj in Praga sta pomembna srednjeevropska turistična kraja, ki ju je v letu 2011 obiskalo enako število tujih turistov. Čeprav sta mesti približno enako veliki in imata podobno kulturno turistično ...ponudbo, se močno razlikujeta po prostorski razporeditvi turistov in njihovi rabi prostora. Mestno središče Prage je znano po zastojih, prenapolnjenosti in enofunkcijski rabi, medtem ko središče Dunaja obišče podobno število gostov, vendar si pri tem lokalne funkcije in turizem ne nasprotujejo. Na podlagi podatkov, pridobljenih s pomočjo geografsko označenih fotografij obeh mest, ki so bile objavljene na spletnih straneh za izmenjavo fotografij, smo izdelali grafa prostorske razporeditve turističnih znamenitosti in poti. Z analizo teh primerljivih grafov smo lahko pojasnili razlike v turističnih sistemih obeh mest, ki so povezane predvsem z njuno morfološko zgradbo in različnimi pristopi k razvoju mestnega turizma v preteklem desetletju.

Through the use of allegorical characters, the musical dramas ranged from the devotionally intense, to the theologically complex, to the ugly anti-Jewish, but played a unique role in making Passion piety relevant to wider cultural concerns.Fruits of the Crosssuggests that understanding thesepolcrihas implications for the theatricalization of devotion, the power of allegory, the role of queenship in court ideology, the interplay between visuality and music, and not least the intellectual centrality of music theater to court self-understanding.
Despite its popular association today with magic, astrology was once a complex and sophisticated practice, grounded in technical training provided by a university education.The Crown and the ...Cosmosexamines the complex ways that political practice and astrological discourse interacted at the Habsburg court, a key center of political and cultural power in early modern Europe. Like other monarchs, Maximilian I used astrology to help guide political actions, turning to astrologers and their predictions to find the most propitious times to sign treaties or arrange marriage contracts. Perhaps more significantly, the emperor employed astrology as a political tool to gain support for his reforms and to reinforce his own legitimacy as well as that of the Habsburg dynasty. Darin Hayton analyzes the various rhetorical tools astrologers used to argue for the nobility, antiquity, and utility of their discipline, and how they strove to justify their "science" on the grounds that through its rigorous interpretation of the natural world, astrology could offer more reliable predictions. This book draws on extensive printed and manuscript sources from archives across northern and central Europe, including Poland, Germany, France, and England.
A recent surge of interest in Jewish patronage during the golden years of Vienna has led to the question, Would modernism in Vienna have developed in the same fashion had Jewish patrons not been ...involved? This book uniquely treats Jewish identification within Viennese modernism as a matter of Jews active fashioning of a new language to convey their aims of emancipation along with their claims of cultural authority. In this provocative reexamination of the roots of Viennese modernism, Elana Shapira analyzes the central role of Jewish businessmen, professionals, and writers in the evolution of the city's architecture and design from the 1860s to the 1910s. According to Shapira, these patrons negotiated their relationship with their non-Jewish surroundings and clarified their position within Viennese society by inscribing Jewish elements into the buildings, interiors, furniture, and design objects that they financed, produced, and co-designed. In the first book to investigate the cultural contributions of the banker Eduard Todesco, the steel tycoon Karl Wittgenstein, the textile industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, the author Peter Altenberg, the tailor Leopold Goldman, and many others, Shapira reconsiders theories identifying the crisis of Jewish assimilation as a primary creative stimulus for the Jewish contribution to Viennese modernism. Instead, she argues that creative tensions between Jews and non-Jews-patrons and designers who cooperated and arranged well-choreographed social encounters with one another-offer more convincing explanations for the formation of a new semantics of modern Viennese architecture and design than do theories based on assimilation. This thoroughly researched and richly illustrated book will interest scholars and students of Jewish studies, Vienna and Viennese culture, and modernism.
Wie sehr der Begriff der Moderne zur Zeit seines Aufkommens in Wien gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts noch instabil und vielstimmig war, zeigen die hier versammelten Beiträge ebenso wie die Dialektik ...zwischen rückwärts- und vorwärtsgewandten Tendenzen. Sie fügen sich damit in eine größere Forschungsperspektive auf Spezifika und Grenzen der Wiener Moderne. Der Impuls, den der Band setzen möchte, zielt auf einen konzeptuellen Begriff der Moderne, wie er vor allem aus der Perspektive der Krisis fassbar wird.

Remote-Sensing Based Groundwater Recharge Estimates in the Danube-Tisza Sand Plateau Region of Hungary Mean annual recharge in the Danube-Tisza sand plateau region of Hungary over the 2000-2008 ...period was estimated at a 1-km spatial resolution as the difference of mean annual precipitation (P) and evapotranspiration (ET). The ET rates were derived from linear transformations of the MODIS daytime land surface temperature (Ts) values with the help of ancillary atmospheric data (air temperature, humidity, and sunshine duration). The groundwater under the sand plateau receives about 75 ± 50 mm of recharge annually (the plus/minus value is the associated error, resulting from an assumed 5% error in both the P and ET values), which is about 14 ± 9 % of the regional mean annual P value of 550 mm. The largest continuous region with elevated recharge rates (about 180 ± 50 mm a-1 or 30 ± 8 % of P) occur in the south-western part of the plateau due to more abundant precipitation (around 580 mm a-1), while recharge is the smallest (about 40 ± 40 mm a-1 or 7 ± 7 % of P) under forested areas. Typically, lakes, wetlands, river valleys, and certain afforested areas in the north-central part of the region act as discharge areas for groundwater.
