The eleventh international conference on The Application of High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physics (SEMIMAG-94) has been organized by the MIT Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory as a satellite of the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors. The original conference was established at Wurzburg University in 1972 and this marks the first time it has been sited in the U.S. The purpose of this meeting is to bring toge...
This symposium brought together mechanicians, physicists and applied mathematicians to discuss the interdisciplinary topic of nonlinear wave motion, which displays effects that give rise to a multitude of unanswered questions. Nonlinear waves in fluids in particular display all the prominent nonlinear phenomena such as chaos, turbulence and pattern formation. Amongst the topics emphasized in these proceedings are: travelling fronts, solitary w...
The following topics were covered: the study of renormalization group flows between field theories using the methods of quantum integrability, S-matrix theory and the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz, impurity problems approached both from the point of view of conformal field theory and quantum integrability. This includes the Kondo effect and quantum wires, solvable models with 1/r² interactions (Haldane-Shastri models). Yangian symmetries in 1/r² ...
This international conference focussed on several exciting frontier areas of particle physics at energy scales not realizable in terrestrial accelerators and their significance in the fields of astrophysics and cosmology. The topics discussed included physics beyond the standard model, violations of discrete symmetries, neutrino physics, neutrino astronomy, experimental detection of dark matter, gravitation and feebler new forces, cosmic rays,...
Who pushed Eric down the stairs? Right before he moved away, Sebastian Barth's friend Eric had an unfortunate accident. Now he's sending Sebastian mysterious notes hinting it wasn't an accident at all. Was it the ghost in the cemetery? Was Eric's accident linked to the ghost that' haunting the cemetary? Sebastian doesn't really believe in ghosts, but he's seen the shadowy figure in black and heard her moan and cries. What did Eric know? If Seb...
First there were mysterious messages. Someone who knows a lot about movie star Michaele Caraway's past is sending her unsigned notes. At first they appear to be innocent fan letters, but then they turn threatening. Next the accidents started happening. To someone as superstitious as Michaele, it seems as if her new play is jinxed. But Sebastian Barth knows the backstage mishaps aren't accidents at all. Who's out to get the movie star? Sebastia...
A journey through the development of modern Salsa music. Evocative use of song lyrics bring colour and passion to this lively profile of Latin dance music.
How can you be sure that you're teaching your children the lessons of virtue that were passed on to you? Today's parents often feel that they have too little time in their busy schedules to handle such an important task. They're not even sure where to begin. In 20 Teachable Virtues authors Barbara C. Unell and Jerry L. Wyckoff, Ph.D. demonstrate the simple ways that you can teach your children to care about others and about themselves. By usin...
Before virtual reality, there was a typewriter in the sky--used by one Horace Hackett, writer, in a rollicking adventure that is considered a true masterpiece of fantasy literature. A musician friend of Hackett's finds himself thrust into a swashbuckling tale--as the villain. Using all his wits, he must devise a way to avoid the destiny which befalls every villain ever written about by Hackett--sure death.
The nineteen essays presented in this volume reflect the development of English Renaissance studies in France over the past fifteen years. Interests run from textual history to drama and theatre poetics, myth, and iconography.
This text presents contemporary accounts on word-, sentence-, and text-processing. It should be of use to experimental psychologists, as well as investigators in cognitive science disciplines such as computer science, and linguistic and educational psychology.
Written from the practical viewpoint of language educators, these essays address classroom applications of second-language theory that respond to a broad spectrum of needs of foreign-language instructors. In addition to the commonly taught French and Spanish, it offers commentary on the teaching of Arabic, Greek, Hungarian, and Japanese. Topics include grammar, task variation and repair, the transition from language to literature and writing, ...
