The German economy is bound to accelerate in the quarters ahead, following the slump at the end of last year. Year-on-year, real gross domestic product will increase by 0.7 percent, matching last year's rise. As production will gain momentum in the course of 2013, the growth rate for 2014 will...

We restudy the phase diagram of the 2D-Ising model with competing interactions J<Subscript>1</Subscript> on nearest neighbour and J<Subscript>2</Subscript> on next-nearest neighbour bonds via Monte-Carlo simulations. We present the finite temperature phase diagram and introduce computational methods which allow us to calculate transition...</subscript></subscript>

An evidence-based flood hazard analysis in mountain streams requires the identification and the quantitative characterisation of multiple possible processes. These processes result from specific triggering mechanisms on the hillslopes (i.e. landslides, debris flows), in-channel morphodynamic...
