Reservoir quality in fluvial siliciclastic rocks is variable. Permeability is influenced by micron-scale grain coatings or bedding style on the m-/km-scale. Outcrops allow the analysis of depositional environments and diagenesis, thus an investigation of reservoir quality controls. A process-oriented approach is used to understand variability in a meander deposit, compaction and cementation behavior of lithofacies types during burial and the discrepancy between porosity and permeability values.

Over the next couple of years, the European Union will face a difficult stage, being confronted with the eventual transition to a monetary union. In the beginning of 1997, it is less clear than ever, if and when the European Monetary Union will eventually be realized, which countries will join in this process, and which countries will benefit from monetary union or are likely to loose out. Using econometric methods, the work attempts to assess the real economic effects of the European Monetary Union. In a first step, differences in labor and goods market adjustment processes between the fifteen member states of the European Union, the United States and Canada are studied in order to evaluate the short-term prospects of monetary union. Turning to the long-run effects, within a second step, convergence of living standards is assessed.

Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt sich zwei Aufgaben. Sie möchte einerseits eine Studie zur neueren deutschen Literatur sein, im besonderen zum Werk eines ihrer Hauptrepräsentanten in der ersten Hälfte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, nämlich Thomas Manns. Andererseits möchte sie darüber hinaus einen Forschungsbeitrag zur Wirkungsgeschichte der russischen Literatur in Deutschland leisen, im besonderen einen Beirtag zur Erforschung der Wirkung der russischen Literatur des neunzehnten und des ersten Viertels des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts eben auf das Werk Thomas Manns.
