"Once the beehive coke oven was perfected in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, the coal and coke industry began to flourish and supply other fledgling industries with the fuel they needed to succeed. The thrust of this growth came from Henry Clay Frick, who opened his first coal mines in the Morgan Valley of Fayette County in 1871. There, he helped lead the industry, making it the major developmental force in industrial America. This book traces the birth and growth of the early coal and coke industry from 1870 to 1920, primarily in Fayette and Westmoreland Counties. Beyond Frick's importance to the industry, other major topics covered in this history include the lives and struggles of the miners and immigrants who worked in the industry, the growth of unions and the many strikes in the region, and the attempts to clean the surrounding waterways from the horrific pollution that resulted from industrial development. Perhaps the most significant fact is that this book uses primary sources contemporary with the golden age of the coal and coke industry. That effort offers an alternative view and helps repair the common portrayal of Frick as corrupt by showing his work as that of an industrial genius"--

"The Festschrift containing 36 contributions celebrates the scholarly achievements of the two outstanding Assyriologists, Walter Sommerfeld (University of Marburg) and Manfred Krebernik (University of Jena). The primary focus of the volume corresponds to the main topics of interests of Professors Sommerfeld and Krebernik - Pre-Sargonic and Sargonic Mesopotamia and third millennium Syria. The volume also features a few contributions dealing with Sumerian language, Mesopotamian literature and the early history of Akkadian and its Semitic background"--

The development of porous materials has attracted the attention of the research community for years. Porosity characteristics have specific impacts on the material properties and materials that are applied in many areas, such as pollutant removal, CO2 capture, energy storage, catalytic oxidation and reduction processes, the conversion of biomass to biofuels, and drug delivery. Examples of porous materials are activated carbons, clays, and zeolites. The aim of this book is to collect the recent advances and progress regarding porous materials and their applications in the environmental area.

This book gathers the proceedings of the International Symposium on Plastics Technology, which was held on March 10, 2020 in Aachen, Germany, and was organised by the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and Craft at RWTH Aachen University. Peer-reviewed by an international scientific committee, the conference proceedings comprise the papers presented by the international speakers. Topics covered include - circular economy - extrusion - lightweight technologies - simulation and digitisation - injection moulding - hybrid materials and additive manufacturing. In these fields, key themes for plastics technologies have been identified that will shape the face of research and industry for the next decade. In their contributions, the authors present the latest scientific findings, and discuss topical issues in plastics technologies. The symposium offered an inspiring forum for the exchange on research and innovation, for discussing urgent questions and providing impulses for the future of plastics technology. The Editors University Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Hopmann has been Head of the IKV – Institute for Plastics Processing in Industry and Craft at RWTH Aachen University and Managing Director of the IKV’s Association of Sponsors since 2011. He also holds the Chair of Plastics Processing at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. Christian Hopmann studied Mechanical Engineering with a particular focus on Plastics Processing at RWTH Aachen University. He received his doctoral degree with a thesis on Ceramic Injection Moulding. He held various prominent positions at the IKV before starting his industrial career as Head of Quality Management at RKW SE in 2005. From 2010 to 2011 he was Managing Director of RKW Sweden AB in Helsingborg/Sweden. Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Rainer Dahlmann is Head of the Center for Analysis and Testing of Plastics (KAP) and Scientific Director at the IKV. He studied Physics with a focus on Solid State Physics at RWTH Aachen University. He received his doctorate from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University in the field of Plasma Technologies. Since 2007, he has lectured in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Applied Polymer Sciences at the FH Aachen, and in Mechanical Engineering and Plastics and Textile Technology at RWTH Aachen University.
