When Englishman Michael Hood receives an invitation to visit his old school friend‿s farming estate in Equatoria, British East Africa, at the start of 1960, he can hardly imagine the beauty and allure of the region he will come to know during repeated lengthy stays, nor the excitement, drama and tragedy which will mark his visits.

Mallaig Road tells the story of Alexander's childhood in conservative 1960s Cape Town, his high school years in Johannesburg, and his early adult years. The story spans the decade between the Maclean family's arrival in Cape Town from Kenya in April 1965, and Alexander's first extended visit to Britain during 1976. On the surface, Alexander's childhood (the events of which - great and small - form the core of this affectionate observation of...

Articles in this collection discuss basic concepts and modern developments in the field. Suitable for both theorists and experimentalists.

The subject of the exact renormalization group started from pioneering work by Wegner and Houghton in the early seventies and, a decade later, by Polchinski, who formulated the Wilson renormalization group for field theory. In the past decade considerable progress has been made in this field, which includes the development of alternative formulations of the approach and of powerful techniques for solving the exact renormalization group equatio...

Excerpt from Some Modified Algorithms for Dijkstra's Longest Upsequence Problem, Vol. 26Our nonstandard merge of two adjacent runs Operates in a manner rather similar to standard merging. However, whenever the next member p of the right run is smaller than the next member q of the left run, p bumps q, i.a. P is copied into the merged run but q is not, and we advance one step in both runs to continue the merging.About the PublisherForgotten Boo...

This book is primarily intended to enable postgraduate research students to enhance their understanding and expertise in Fluid Mechanics and Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), subjects no longer treated in isolation. The exercises throughout the book often serve to provide additional and quite significant knowledge or to develop selected mathematical skills, and may also fill in certain details or enhance readers’ understanding of essential concepts....

The Second Law, a cornerstone of thermodynamics, governs the average direction of dissipative, non-equilibrium processes. But it says nothing about their actual rates or the probability of fluctuations about the average. This interdisciplinary book, written and peer-reviewed by international experts, presents recent advances in the search for new non-equilibrium principles beyond the Second Law, and their applications to a wide range of system...
