Kitchen Mysteries: Revealing the Science of Cooking (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History)
by Hervé ThisAn international celebrity and founder of molecular gastronomy, or the scientific investigation of culinary practice, Hervé This is known for his ground-breaking research into the chemistry and physics behind everyday cooking. His work is consulted widely by amateur cooks and professional chefs and has changed the way food is approached and prepared all over the world. In Kitchen Mysteries, Hervé This offers a second helping of his world-renowned insight into the science of cooking, answering such fundamental questions as what causes vegetables to change color when cooked and how to keep a soufflé from falling. He illuminates abstract concepts with practical advice and concrete examples-for instance, how sautéing in butter chemically alters the molecules of mushrooms-so that cooks of every stripe can thoroughly comprehend the scientific principles of food. Kitchen Mysteries begins with a brief overview of molecular gastronomy and the importance of understanding the physiology of taste. A successful meal depends as much on a cook's skilled orchestration of taste, odors, colors, consistencies, and other sensations as on the delicate balance of ingredients. Hervé then dives into the main course, discussing the science behind many meals' basic components: eggs, milk, bread, sugar, fruit, yogurt, alcohol, and cheese, among other items. He also unravels the mystery of tenderizing enzymes and gelatins and the preparation of soups and stews, salads and sauces, sorbet, cakes, and pastries. Hervé explores the effects of boiling, steaming, braising, roasting, deep-frying, sautéing, grilling, salting, and microwaving, and devotes a chapter to kitchen utensils, recommending the best way to refurbish silverware and use copper.By sharing the empirical principles chefs have valued for generations, Hervé This adds another dimension to the suggestions of cookbook authors. He shows how to adapt recipes to available ingredients and how to modify proposed methods to the utensils at hand.

Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit als Zielsetzungen des Personenbeförderungsrechts: Mehr als eine Absichtserklärung? (Schriftenreihe des Instituts für Klimaschutz, Energie und Mobilität)
by Vera DörrfußDurch das Gesetz zur Modernisierung des Personenbeförderungsrechts vom 16.04.2021 wurde § 1a PBefG in das PBefG neu eingefügt. Damit hat das PBefG neben der gefahrenabwehrrechtlichen Komponente mit Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit eine Weitere hinzugewonnen. Die Norm ist trotz ihres mittlerweile mehr als dreijährigen Bestehens wissenschaftlich noch weitestgehend unerforscht und auch in der Praxis nicht, beziehungsweise kaum bekannt. Dabei stellen sich in ihrem Zusammenhang viele Fragen. So bleibt bei der bloßen Lektüre unklar, welchen Inhalt der abstrakt gehaltene § 1a PBefG haben soll. Es ergibt sich weder, was unter den Klimaschutz- und Nachhaltigkeitszielen zu verstehen ist, noch welche Reichweite ihrer Berücksichtigung zukommen soll. Unklar bleibt auch, ob der Gesetzgeber eine wirkliche Veränderung bei der Anwendung des PBefG und damit positive Auswirkungen auf Klima und Nachhaltigkeit herbeiführen möchte oder es sich vielmehr um sog. „Greenwashing“ handelt. Diese und noch viele weitere Fragen, nimmt die Arbeit zum Anlass, um die neue Maßgabe des PBefG, bei Anwendung des Gesetzes die Ziele des Klimaschutzes und der Nachhaltigkeit zu berücksichtigen, genauer zu untersuchen.

Knitting Science, Technology, Process and Materials: A Sustainable Approach (Textile Science and Clothing Technology)
by Hafsa Jamshaid Rajesh MishraThis volume explains knitting technology in an easily-comprehensible and user-friendly manner. The manufacturing of a cost-effective quality product requires careful planning and thorough knowledge of the product as well as production technology. To achieve the desired functional properties in fabric, the relationship between the raw materials, process and finished product is very important. Knitting has been and remains an important textile technique due to the properties of knitted fabric such as elasticity, stretchability, and comfort. Despite the prominence of knitwear, there has been limited data regarding mechanics of weft knitted fabric and effect of structures on physical, mechanical and comfort properties. This book is an attempt to fill that gap. The book provides knowledge about fabric manufacturing techniques, weft knitting structure, and methods of evaluating knitted fabrics and their applications in technical textiles. It also discusses different types of yarn and their manufacturing processes. Testing and quality control in industrial practice as well as management of a fabric dyeing house are also covered.

Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching
by Mathematics Teacher Preparation Content Workshop Program Steering CommitteeThere are many questions about the mathematical preparation teachers need. Recent recommendations from a variety of sources state that reforming teacher preparation in postsecondary institutions is central in providing quality mathematics education to all students. The Mathematics Teacher Preparation Content Workshop examined this problem by considering two central questions: What is the mathematical knowledge teachers need to know in order to teach well? How can teachers develop the mathematical knowledge they need to teach well? The Workshop activities focused on using actual acts of teaching such as examining student work, designing tasks, or posing questions, as a medium for teacher learning. The Workshop proceedings, Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching, is a collection of the papers presented, the activities, and plenary sessions that took place.
Knowing with New Media: A Multimodal Approach for Learning
by Lena RedmanThis cutting edge book considers how advances in technologies and new media have transformed our perception of education, and focuses on the impact of the privatisation of digital tools as a mean of knowledge production. Arguing that education needs to adapt to the modern learner, the book’s unique approach is based on a disassociation with the deeply ingrained attitude with which people have traditionally viewed education – learning the existing symbolic systems of certain disciplines and then expressing themselves strictly within the operational modes of these systems. The ways of knowledge production – exploring, recording, representing, making meaning of and sharing human experiences – have been fundamentally transformed through the infusion of digital technologies into all aspects of human activity, allowing learners to engage with their immediate natural, social and cultural environments by capitalising on their individual abilities and interests. This book proposes a new approach to teaching and learning termed ‘cinematic bricolage’, which involves generating knowledge from heterogeneous resources in a ‘do-it-yourself’ manner while making meaning through multimodal representations. It shows how cinematic bricolage reconnects ways of knowing with ways of being, empowering the individual with a sense of personal identity and responsibility, helping to shape more aware social citizens.
