This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the 9th Conference on Colloid Chemistry. A colloid chemical approach to nano- and biotechnology was one of the main topics of the meeting held in Siófok, Hungary in October 2007. It was organized by the Hungarian Chemical Society in cooperation with leading Hungarian universities and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The contributions demonstrated the progress of the field and supported that "The world of neglected dimensions" should not be neglected at all in modern material sciences and technologies. This volume is intended for professionals dealing with fundamental research or development of industrial applications, who encounter colloids, nanostructures, and interfacial phenomena during their work.

Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,3 (B), University of Bayreuth (Language and Literature Sciences), course: Segregation, language: English, abstract: Theodore Vincent said "e;In Black American history there are two personal feuds which stand out beyond all others W. E. B. Du Bois vs. Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois vs. Marcus Garvey"e; 1 . Reason enough to examine at least one of these two conflicts, as they are an important factor of Black history, because they do not show united Blacks that fight side by side for their rights, but Blacks that forget that they actually fight on the same side over a personal conflict. I will first give the history of the conflict, befo re analyzing some of the articles that were written in this conflict and that mirror the history and briefly show the main reasons for it.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,7 (B-), University of Bayreuth (Language and Literature Sciences), language: English, abstract: Although we converse almost every day, we never have exactly thesame conversation twice. Nevertheless, certain parts ofconversations occur in forms which are very alike. They seem to beconstructed according to sets of rules. These rules were examined inthe 1970 s for the first time. The mechanisms which govern our conversations are especiallyobservable in telephone conversations. But since the 1970 s, newtechnologies have come up and society changed. The aim of this paper is to examine the mechanisms of telephoneconversation and how the systems working in telephone conversationshave changed since the establishment of the mobile telephone. For this, the focus on Conversation Analysis as research methodologyis explained, before coming to the basic features of everyconversation. Following this, telephone conversations are examinedaccording to their structure of opening, topic-talk and closing. Finally, the changes of this structure for mobile telephoneconversations are pointed out. The basis for the observations on mobile telephone conversation is asurvey carried out among 20 Canadian citizens and material providedby the participants of the survey. Two different main methodologies exist for analysing and examiningconversation conversation in general, or telephone conversation inspecial from a linguistic perspective: Conversation Analysis andDiscourse Analysis. To understand my decision to focus on thediscipline of Conversation Analysis, I will shortly point out themain differences and parallels of these methodologies. Of course, both disciplines examine conversation. But the methodsused for this, the thereby resulting findings and the mainunderstanding of conversation differ immensely. A common aim of Conversation Analysis and Discourse Analysis is tobe able to give an account of how coherence and sequentialorganization is produced and understood (Levinson 1983: 286). Discourse Analysis uses primitive and basic concepts of linguisticsfor this. It attempts to extend the rules applying to sentences overthe boundaries of sentences. The main method of the discipline isthe isolation of sets of units of discourse, followed by aformulation of rules according to these units and finally thedivision of units into well-formed and ill-formed sequences.

Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3 (B), University of Bayreuth (English Linguistics), course: Speech acts and conversational principles, language: English, abstract: Every conversation is different from all others. Nobody ever had exactly the same private conversationagain, even if he conversed about the same topic. Nevertheless there are certainitems in conversations that are very alike or completely alike, and which seem to be build oncertain schemes. Places in conversations where these schemes occur are openings and closings. The aim of this paper is to examine the mechanisms behind this phenomenon and to examine ifand how these mechanisms have changed since they were first examined by Schegloff andother linguists in the 1970 s. For providing the necessary background information, I will firstgive some basic features of conversation analysis which are important for the topic, beforemoving on to conversation openings and finally to conversation closings. In openings I will especially focus on the summons-answer structure, identification and recognitionas well as on the changes that had to be made and were made to the structure sincethe establishment of number identification. Closings will be examined by their components andthe different possibilities they provide will be analysed. As stated by Levinson (1983: 309) telephone conversation is one of social activities effectivelyconstituted by talk itself . This is, that the conversation is not disturbed in its pureness byextra-linguistic features like physical doings and positionings (Schegloff 1973: 323). Participatinghearers have to interpret the utterances with nothing more than voice, words, intonationand pauses which can be analysed linguistically. Also the beginnings and endings and becauseof that also the opening and closing places - of such conversation can clearly be determined,as telephone conversation usually has a duration of the time of the call. Therefore telephoneconversation is most suitable for linguistic research and I will focus on such conversationonly (Schegloff 1973: 325).
