Philately Metamorphosis
by Mike Blackledge
During the latter days of December 2016, I received an envelope in the mail that had an
immediate reaction within my remaining memory neurons. “No cookie nibbled by a French novelist
could send one into the past more suddenly.
I'm sure there was a Christmas card somewhere inside that envelope, but that was not the
source of my reaction - I was struck by the bright red envelope itself, apparently sent through the
regular mail service but with an array of seven or eight commemorative stamps. Old stamps. Real
stamps. No "Forever" stamps here, these stamps were marked with actual U.S. postage of 6C, 8C,
10C, yes even 'four cents.' The lick 'em and stick 'em variety.
The four center was the oldest and the one that most attracted
me: the gray 4C Army stamp featured portraits of General Robert
E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, with Stratford Hall in the
center. I had owned this stamp. I almost certainly still did -

478 Mr. L. Hill. The Infiuence of Increased Atmospheric
Although no sound classification can be based on one single organ, a
striking concordance exists between an attempted arrangement of the
Mammalia according to the Fundus oculi and the most modern classifi-
cation. The cases of disagreement are wonderfully few. These are
restricted to the following : — •
Chrysothrix leans towards the Arctopitheci. I find it necessary to
separate the Galagos from the rest of the Lemurs — at least, as a sub-
family. In the smaller Carnivores it is advisable to establish a separate
family, the Cynicticke^ to include the otherwise viverrine genera, Cynictis
and Galictis, together with Mephitis, hitherto placed with the Mus-
telidse. The Sciuromorpha should be divided into Sciuridae and Ptero-
myidse, and Castor should decidedly be removed into the Hystricomorpha
group, perhaps into the vicinity of the Octodontidse. The Bats rank
very low so far as the eye is concerned, possibly on accou

Turbulence in the Atmosphere
|
John C. Wyngaard
|
"...the exposition in Turbulence in the Atmosphere is systematic, clear, and self-contained. ... The author presents numerous problems, both qualitative and quantitative, at the end of each section, so the book could function well as a text for a course ... Wyngaard's accessible treatment of difficult topics also makes the book a useful reference. The author clearly enjoys the subject and the book is enjoyable to read." - Physics Today<br /><br />"Wyngaard writes very clearly.... I would recommend this excellent introduction to anyone who wishes to gain an overview of atmospheric turbulence." - Dale Hess, Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal, May 2011<br /><br />"..It seems to me that the book should be included in the library of every researcher in the field." - Mario Bertolotti, Contemporary Physics, March 2011

This Present Darkness: A History of Nigerian Organized Crime

<br>"[A] critical analysis of how various Nigerian social and political institutions have created and sustained opportunities for illegal gain. The book offers fascinating details of political corruption, and a useful distillation of the mechanics of criminal enterprises, but its primary contribution to Nigerian historiography lies in mapping links between the breakdown of longstanding African institutions during the colonial period, the emergence of new arrangements to fill the gaps, and current illegal activity by official and conventional criminals." -- <em>The International Journal of African</em> <em>Historical Studies</em> <br>

Context-Sensitive Development: How International NGOs Operate in Myanmar
|
Anthony Ware
|
"The book presents an analysis of sociopolitical milieu for Burmese days and Myanmar times from historical perspectives and it highlights the topics of context sensitivity; while working with communities and dealing with stakeholders. But the real thrust of this book is the working style of INGOs in Myanmar which has a complex though not a unique operating environment for aid agencies. Such socio-political environment is found in many African and Asian countries. However, working in Myanmar is dancing with the devil without holding hands as the skeptical eyes of authoritarian regime cannot be ignored while designing the development projects there. Though, the book covers the case of Myanmar, due to its grounding in theoretical base of contexts sensitivity, it serves as a resource for understanding impacts of contextualization on the effectiveness of development projects in Myanmar and beyond."<br /><br />"Ware's well-researched and detailed analysis of international NGOs in Myanmar advocates for culturally sensitive approaches to development and historically informed understandings of context rather than assumptions based on external imaginations of the country. The timing of the book is impeccable as donors lift sanctions and more and more international NGOs turn their attention to Myanmar. Ware's book serves as an essential guidepost to NGO workers and analysts of civil society navigating this new dawn."

F. J. VAN DER PANT, L.D.S.I.,
Read before the British Dental Association at Southsea, England, June 23, 1888.
The Patient visits the Dentist frequently in a condition of great
mental and physical prostration, and is quite dependent on his skill
and conscientious treatment, as well as his kindest consideration ; and
it is surely not too much to add that these should always be found by
every sufferer requiring dental aid. If a practitioner's time is too
valuable to devote to the treatment of a person that cannot remunerate
him, it would be proper not to undertake it, but rather to hand him over
to some professional brother who may not have the same demands on
his time, tho of equal skill, but, having a reputation to make, would
be satisfied with a smaller fee.

The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability (National Security Archive Book)
|
Peter Kornbluh
|
For years, the United States government maintained top-secret archives detailing its policy in Chile and its role in aiding and securing General Pinochet's rise to dictatorial power in the early 1970s. In this examination of the thousands of records recently declassified by the CIA, White House, NSC, Pentagon and FBI, Kornbluh offers new revelations about America's development of a policy dedicated to overthrowing Chile's existing democratic government and to replacing it with a military leader reviled for his complete disregard for human rights. Throughout the book, Kornbluh-a director of the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research library-buttresses his assertions with excerpts from the relevant documents, and attempts to shed light on some of the outstanding questions of the period that still beg for answers, including what motivated President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to authorize the bloody campaign and how involved the US government actually was in the September 1973 coup itself. <br />Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Security Forces in African States: Cases and Assessment (Rapid Communications in Conflict & Security)
|
Paul Shemella
|
"Until the publishing of Security Forces in African States: Cases and Assessment, policy makers charged with assisting African states had no comprehensive reference describing how African states should develop and employ their security services. Now they do. Brilliantly written by security experts who know Africa, this book is a must read for security professionals, academics and students." -Russell D. Howard, Brigadier General (RET), U.S. Army Special Forces and Senior Fellow, Joint Special Operations University "A brilliant assessment of contemporary civil-military relations across Africa. The contributors to Security Forces in African States: Cases and Assessment create and apply a disarmingly simple yet effective assessment tool for their country studies in order to determine the state of security governance in ten politically diverse African nations. Reformers can use it to assess both civil-military relations in the context of rapid political transition and state accountability for sustaining good governance and democratic ideals." -Chiseche Salome Mibenge, Stanford University "Paul Shemella and his collaborators bring much needed attention to the role of security forces in African nations, examining the purpose, viability and necessity of the military in a context largely free from external threat. Readers will better understand the role of security forces, and the case studies will generate many ideas that merit further exploration." -Jean-Phillipe Peltier, Colonel, US Air Force and Former Director of USAFA International Programs "An important and highly cohesive volume, providing a comprehensive approach to assessing the role of the security sector in a variety of African states. The individual chapters, using an invaluable analytic framework developed by the editors, offer illuminating national assessments as a foundation for determining next steps in reform. Highly recommended for practitioners and scholars alike." -Phil Williams, Wesley W. Posvar Chair, and Director, Matthew B. Ridgway Center for International Security Studies, University of Pittsburgh

Cables: The Basics
|
Janet Szabo
|
I am a guy who crochets, and until recently had a very basic knowledge of knitting. Then I somehow got acquainted with and found my passion in Aran designs. This book and another by Janet Szabo; Aran Sweater Design are at the very top of my list for their content. Janet's written instructions give me the sense that she is sitting here in front of me showing me in step by step detail how to accomplish various cable stitches with the greatest clarity I've seen. There are countless things that I didn't expect, such as correcting cables that have been knit the wrong direction and other helpful tips/techniques. There are a growing number of guys who are involved in the needle arts community, and I, for one, am grateful for this book as I learn, step by step, to create cabled knits that I can be proud of. --Amazon.com<br /><br />. . . and I'm terrible with books. This one has a chart system that is very, very clear. Each of the hundreds of cables is illustrated and set off with its own chart (in black & white). The chart system is easy to understand quickly. Many of the cables are simple and traditional, but Szabo has also included some more intricate ones with celtic-looking knots and braids. A number of these she created herself, and what's more, she describes in some detail how the reader can create her or his own cables. Near the front is a glossary of dozens of individual cable stitches, with precise instructions on how to create them. These become a reference for the charts used throughout the book. If there is any difficulty with this book it is that the stitch glossary is at the front, removed from the individual cable charts. I could not imagine a reasonable way to avoid this arrangement, and anyway it was at most a minor annoyance, since most of the stitches are relatively easy to learn. For the most complicated ones I just photocopied the stitch page and kept it with the chart page. The result was definitely worth the effort. I can only say that the subtitle "Volume One: the Basics" fills me with expectation. As for skill level, I think that anyone who knows how to knit and purl with some comfort can readily master most of the cables in this book. After all, cables usually have the happy feature of looking harder than they are. --Amazon.com

With the limited information about the ways to the attractions like 5 minutes from the exit A of metro Yu Garden Station, do you think you can get the place with no embarrassment? When you stand at the exit, which direction will proceed for 5 minutes? The embarrassment drove me to publish guide books specifically focused on the ways to the must-visits of the world. How to get the starting point of the world attractions through public transportation is the best character of mine. The purpose to encourage you to try the hot places by yourself comes through my own experience as a backpacker to the world. Detailed on-site information together with maps and photos taken every nook and corner will give you full confidence for your try the world. You need neither to chase after a guide nor to ask passers-by for your destination. You can get all attractions by your own self.

The Final Mission of Extortion 17: Special Ops, Helicopter Support, SEAL Team Six, and the Deadliest Day of the U.S. War in Afghanistan
|
Ed Darack
|
<b>Amazon Best History Book of the Month - September 2017</b><br /><br />Meticulously reported and deftly told, this is the definitive account of the 38 people killed aboard Extortion 17the largest loss of life in a single incident during the Afghan war. Ed Darack not only debunks the conspiracy theories once and for all; he also honors the pilots, crew, and special operators who perished on that fateful day. This is an important book for anyone who wants to understand the war in Afghanistan and the Americans who have risked their lives fighting it.<br /> R. M. Schneiderman, Deputy Editor, <i>Newsweek</i><br /> <br /> Far more gripping than any thriller, this well-researched and cleanly written account of an American battlefield tragedy is one of the finest books to emerge from our recent wars. Crafted with knowledge of twenty-first-century combat and deep respect for our troops, this book is nonetheless unsparing in its portrait of wars reality and the toll it takes on flesh-and-blood men in uniform.<br /> Ralph Peters, Fox News strategic analyst and author of <i>Lines of Fire</i><br /> <br /> Darack expertly re-creates the tragedy of Extortion 17. Skillfully reported, the book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand what happened the night Extortion 17 was shot down in Afghanistan.<br /> Kevin Maurer, coauthor of <i>No Easy Day<br /><br /></i><b>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY</b><i><br /></i>Darack (<i>Victory Point</i>), a military writer and photographer who has embedded with units in Iraq and Afghanistan, shares a well-researched story of the downing of a U.S. Army CH-47D Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, carrying members of SEAL Team Six in Afghanistan on Aug. 6, 2011. Where previous works on this subject have largely highlighted the operators of SEAL Team Six, Darack focuses his take on the incidentit is the largest single American loss of life in the Afghanistan War, with all 38 on board killedon the five crew members of the helicopter. As a result, this work is valuable and informative as it describes the critical role Army Aviation played in Iraq and Afghanistan and makes clear the difficulties of flying in the high altitudes of Afghanistans mountain ranges. Threats faced by Army Aviation in Iraq and Afghanistan include enemy action (44 helicopters have been shot down in Iraq and Afghanistan with the loss of more than 120 lives), mechanical failure, and shifting weather conditions. Short, clear, and tersely written, Daracks book is suited to readers interested in military affairs and is a fitting tribute to the Army aviators represented by the crew of Extortion 17. Maps & illus.<br /><br /><b>BOOKLIST</b><br />Darack tells the life stories of the 39 men flying under the call sign, Extortion 17, who were killed on August 6, 2011, when their Chinook helicopter was shot down over Afghanistan. Military argot permeates Daracks account, giving his readers a sense of the high degree of training necessary for personnel to conduct the kind of operation on which Extortion 17 was embarked. It was to be a night-time landing of a special operations force to capture or kill a Taliban leader. Explaining the intricate aerial ballet that supports such an action (which includes gunships, surveillance planes, and bomb-laden fighter jets), Darack underscores the high-tech American way of making war versus the low-tech yet effective efforts of the Taliban: it was a rocket-propelled grenade that downed Extortion 17. Dramatizing the incident, based on real-time recordings from the orbiting support planes, Darack delivers a respectful salute to the dead amid detailed exemplification of the bravery of those fighting Americas protracted war in Afghanistan.<br /><br /><b>LIBRARY JOURNAL</b><i><br /></i>Writer and photographer Darack (Victory Point) investigates the destruction of a Chinook helicopter carrying a number of high-profile special operatives, including numerous men from SEAL Team 6, whom are best known for the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden. Darack recounts the circumstances surrounding this August 2011 event, attempting to debunk a theory that claims the aircraft was destroyed in an act of revenge for Bin Ladens death. Most are aware of the effort to eliminate Bin Laden, but fewer may recall this tragedy with as much clarity, having received far less media exposure. The author provides a thorough treatment of the disaster, with several chapters dedicated to the personnel and the specifications of the aircraft, which may not be captivating to the layperson but would be of interest to military historians. Darack also does an admirable job of demonstrating through science, history, and statistics (owing to the inherent inaccuracy of a rocket-propelled grenade [RPG], it would be a poor choice for such an important revenge mission) that vengeance conspiracies could be safely ruled out. <br /> Verdict: This is less of a narrative and more of a march through the events and circumstances, making it ideal for modern history buffs and military historians and perhaps less so for casual readers.Benjamin Brudner, Curry Coll. Lib., Milton, MA<br /><br /><b>THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT</b><br />Using eyewitness accounts and unclassified information from the Defense Department, Darack dissects the fateful incident, with a wider view of what other elements were on scene, what they saw, and how they reacted. He details the persistent surveillance of the suspected attackers, and follows them to their demise after they violated their own security procedures by bragging of their success and being careless in their movements and associations.<br /><br />The maps and photos that Darack includes are especially useful in helping readers understand a tragic but entirely plausible scenario. His book is vital for fully appreciating the contribution of our expert high-altitude aviators, the risks they take, and the terrible consequences that can result from a confluence of factors.

Ambassador of the Dead
|
Askold Melnyczuk
|
This tale of Ukrainian immigrants' attempts at adjustment to life in America has a dreamy affect, but its undercurrent of emotional honesty gives it bite. Nick, a Boston doctor, is drawn back to his hometown of Elizabeth, N.J., by the news that his childhood friend Alex is in trouble although he does not yet know what kind of trouble. He finds first that Alex's mother, Ada, once vibrant and attractive, is now embittered, lonely and nearly blind. Nick reminisces about his past, focusing on memories of his friend for most of the book. As a child, Alex was mischievous, but eventually became more and more wild, due in part to his father's abuse and subsequent abandonment. Throughout the novel he is agitated by society and by his own psyche, gradually losing his sanity. Melnyczuk (What Is Told) writes exceedingly well-controlled miniature narratives that begin as soft-focus reveries and develop into darker tales that confidently clinch the attention and release it just as smoothly. One of Alex's mother's early lovers seems gentle during their initial courtship, then expresses sadomasochistic desires; she pursues another failed romance with an migr poet. Even the story of the narrator's marriage is laced with strife: his wife confesses that she had rejected his earliest advances because he was Ukrainian and she was Jewish. The book drifts in a Proustian fashion, vividly portraying the difficulties of cultural assimilation until the jarring conclusion. Recollections that might have fizzled in another author's hands here grow luminous and haunting.

Abstract
We study five-dimensional black holes obtained by compactifying M theory on Calabi-
Yau threefolds. Recent progress in solving topological string theory on compact, one-
parameter models allows us to test numerically various conjectures about these black
holes. We give convincing evidence that a microscopic description based on Gopakumar-
Vafa invariants accounts correctly for their macroscopic entropy, and we check that highly
nontrivial cancellations -which seem necessary to resolve the so-called entropy enigma in

MEASURE- VALUED STOCHASTIC RECURRENCES AND THE
STABILITY OF QUEUES
P. MOYAL
Abstract. In this paper we present a stability criterion for finite measure-
valued stochastic recursions, generalizing Loynes's Theorem to spaces of mea-
sures. This result provides conditions for the reach of a "total stationary
state" for the queue with an infinity of servers and the single-server SRPT
queue. Indeed, we give in both cases a condition of existence of a stationary
measure- valued recursive sequence characterizing the queueing system exhaus-
tively.
1. Introduction
In this paper, we address the question of stationarity in the general ergodic frame-
work for queues, that admits a representation by a measure- valued stochastically
recursive sequence (SRS). We axamine the good topological conditions for Loynes'
backward recurrence scheme to handle the question of existence of a stationary ver-
sion (in the sense Loynes [2 J puts it) for such an SRS. After some preliminarie

We calculate the shot noise power and the Fano factor of a spinless resonant level model. The
Coulomb interaction which in this model acts between the lead electron and the impurity is consid-
ered in the first order approximation. The logarithmic divergencies which appeared in the expres-
sions for shot noise and the transport current are removed by renormalization group analysis. It is
important, that unlike a few recent statements, Keldysh technique gives an adequate description of
perturbation theory results. By passing to the bosonized form of the resonance model we show that
in the strong interaction limit the tunnelling becomes irrelevant and decreases.

(Dated: February 1, 2008)
A novel way to induce ultrafast currents in molecular wires using two incident laser frequencies,
u) and 2uj, is demonstrated. The mechanism relies on Stark shifts, instead of photon absorption, to
transfer population to the excited states and exploits the temporal profile of the field to generate
phase controllable transport. Calculations in a frans-polyacetylene oligomer coupled to metallic
leads indicate that the mechanism is highly efficient and robust to ultrafast electronic dephasing

Cosmic Wormholes: 2The Search for Interstellar Shortcuts
|
Paul Halpern
|
Halpern ( Time Journeys ) tackles the No. 1 recreational problem of theoretical physics: actual applications of special relativity to create the possibility of spacetime travel. The "intersteller shortcuts" in the subtitle is an oxymoron in present technical terminology, so Halpern himself is free to travel freely between the ground of astrophysical theory and the speculative time-travel canon. Indeed, he borrows his illustrations from Asimov and Heinlein as often as from Thorne and Morris. The result is more a colorful survey-style lecture script than a coherent theory, sufficient to general readers and certainly inspiring to a science fiction following but without a firm sense of scale of the science involved (and none of the mechanics or mathematics). Halpern's wormholes appear deus ex machina, nearly the last loop of this joyride through astrophysical theory, and somehow one can't help wanting to get back on line. Halpern teaches mathematics and physics at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. <br />Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Wormhole and C-field: Revisited
F.Rahaman*, M.Sarker* and M.Kalam-'^
Abstract
Recently, Rahaman et al [ Nuovo.Cim 119B, 1115(2004)] have shown that the
static spherically symmetric solutions in presence of C-field give rise to wormhole
geometry. We highlight some of the characteristics of this wormhole, which have
not been considered in the previous study.
In recent times, the wormhole has become very popular as because it could allow for
interstellar distances to be traveled in very short times. In a seminal paper, Morris and
Thorne [MT] [1] have shown that wormholes are solutions of the Einstein's equations that
have two regions connected by a throat. They observed that it is the solutions of Einstein's
equations that shared the violation of null energy condition. This bizarre form of matter
that characterized the above stress energy tensor is known as exotic matter. If, some how,
an advanced engineers able to manufacture the exotic matter, then it would be pos

Shortnote on local hidden Grassmann variables vs. quantum correlations
Lajos DiosEI
Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics
H-1525 Budapest II4, FOB 49, Hungary
(Dated: February 1, 2008)
Grassmannian local hidden variables are shown to generate all possible quantum correlations in a
bipartite quantum system. Grassmann representation of fermions, common in field theory, opens a
related perspective. Although Grassmann hidden variables can not challange Bell's locality theorem,
they can become an interesting mathematical tool to investigate entanglement.

On the Cauchy problem for higher-order

Abstract
We study the higher-order nonlinear dispersive equation
d t u + dl : ' +1 u— aj 1 j 2 dl 1 udl 2 u, x, t € R.
0<ji+j 2 <2j
where u is a real- (or complex-) valued function. We show that the
associated initial value problem is well posed in weighted Besov and
Sobolev spaces for small initial data. We also prove ill-posedness results
when ao.fc ^ for some k > j, in the sense that this equation cannot
have its flow map C 2 at the origin in H S (R), for any s € R. The
same technique leads to similar ill-posedness results for other higher-
order nonlinear dispersive equation as higher-order Benjamin-Ono and
intermediate long wave equations.

ABSTRACT
We present molecular-line observations of 94 dark cloud cores identified in the Pipe nebula through
near-IR extinction mapping. Using the Arizona Radio Observatory 12m telescope, we obtained spectra
of these cores in the J=l-0 transition of C 18 0. We used the measured core parameters, T^, Av, vi sr ,
radius and mass, to explore the internal kinematics of the cores as well as their radial motions through
the larger molecular cloud. We find that the vast majority of the dark extinction cores are true cloud
cores rather than the superposition of unrelated filaments. While we identify no significant correlati

This rigorous and engaging book presents the basic theories underlying spectroscopy while incorporating modern viewpoints of practical utility in spectroscopy research. Written in a clear, jargon-free style, it covers the quantum mechanical theoretical basis of spectroscopy, modern innovations in spectroscopy theory, such as time-dependent theory, and practical applications of spectroscopy research, including the influence of condensed phases.Begins with a brief review of quantum mechanical principles, then moves on to such areas as the properties of light, bulk electric and magnetic properties of matter, fundamental theories of spectroscopic techniques, experimental arrangements, and finally applications of the electromagnetic spectrum. Studies the time-dependent theoretical approach to interpret frequency domain spectra, allowing readers to focus on the dynamic response of the system. Provides consistent and reasonable notation throughout, frequently uses thought experiments to help readers visualize a physical situation. and poses probing questions in order to stimulate independent thinking and prompt readers to consider potentially paradoxical predictions of theory.For spectroscopists, laser technicians, analytical and physical chemists, and physicists.

Metric Dichotomies
Manor Mendel
Abstract. These are notes from talks given at ICMS, Edinburgh, 4/2007
("Geometry and Algorithms workshop") and at Bernoulli Center, Lausanne
5/2007 ("Limits of graphs in group theory and computer science"). We sur-
vey the following type of dichotomies exhibited by certain classes X of finite
metric spaces: For every host space H, either all metrics in X embed almost
isometrically in H, or the distortion of embedding some metrics of X in H is
unbounded.
1. Problem statement and motivation
In these notes we examine dichotomy phenomena exhibited by certain classes
X of finite metric spaces. When attempting to embed the metrics in X in any
given host spaces H, either all of them embed almost isometrically, or there are
some metrics in X which are very poorly embedded in H. To make this statement
precise we define the distortion of metric embeddings.
Given a mapping between metric spaces / : X — > H, define the Lipschitz norm

We consider top-quarks produced at large energy in e + e~ collisions, and address the question of
what top-mass can be measured from reconstruction. The production process is characterized by
well separated scales: the center-of-mass energy, Q, the top mass, m, the top decay width, 1^, and
also Aqcd; scales which can be disentangled with effective theory methods. In particular we show
how the mass measurement depends on the way in which soft ra

Guest Charge and Potential Fluctuations in
Two- Dimensional Classical Coulomb Systems
Bernard Jancovici 1 and Ladislav Samaj 1 ' 2
April 9, 2008
Abstract
A known generalization of the Stillinger-Lovett sum rule for a guest
charge immersed in a two-dimensional one-component plasma (the sec-
ond moment of the screening cloud around this guest charge) is more
simply retrieved, just by using the BGY hierarchy for a mixture of sev-
eral species; the zeroth moment of the excess density around a guest
charge immersed in a two-component plasma is also obtained. The
moments of the electric potential are related to the excess chemical
potential of a guest charge; explicit results are obtained in several spe-
cial cases.
KEY WORDS: Coulomb systems; two dimensions; potential fluctuations;
sum rules.

flow may shrink to a point in finite time if the forcing term is small, or ex-
ist for all times and expand to infinity if the forcing term is large enough.
The flow can also converge to a round sphere for some special forcing
term and initial hypersurface. Furthermore, the normalization of the flow
is carried out so that long time existence and convergence of the rescaled
flow are studied. Our work ext

Abstract
We study the neutralino sector of the Minimal Non-minimal Supersymmetric Stan-
dard Model (MNSSM) where the fi problem of the Minimal Supersymmetric Stan-
dard Model (MSSM) is solved without accompanying problems related with the ap-
pearance of domain walls. In the MNSSM as in the MSSM the lightest neutralino
can be the absolutely stable lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) providing a good
candidate for the cold dark matter component of the Universe. In contrast with the
MSSM the allowed range of the mass of the lightest neutralino in the MNSSM is
limited. We establish the theoretical upper bound on the lightest

VOTING, THE SYMMETRIC GROUP, AND REPRESENTATION THEORY
ZAJJ DAUGHERTY, ALEXANDER K. EUSTIS, GREGORY MINTON, AND MICHAEL E. ORRISON
Abstract. We show how voting may be viewed naturally from an algebraic perspective by viewing voting
profiles as elements of certain well-studied QSn-modules. By using only a handful of simple combinatorial
objects (e.g., tabloids) and some basic ideas from representation theory (e.g., Schur's Lemma), this allows
us to recast and extend some well-known results in the field of voting theory.
1. Introduction
For more than 25 years, Donald Saari has been systematically developing a powerful geometric approach
to understanding, explaining, and constructing paradoxes that occur in voting [7]-[TB]- One of the keys to
Saari's geometric approach is the fact that the collection of votes from an election can often be encoded
naturally as a vector, which we call a profile, and that election procedures can often be viewed as, or are
related to, lin

A supersymmetric field theory of light difi'usion in semi-infinite disordered media is presented.
With the help of this technique we justify-at the perturbative level-the local light diffusion proposed
by Tiggelen, Lagendijk, and Wiersma [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4333 (2000)], and show that the
coherent backscattering line shape of medium bar displays a crossover from two-dimensional weak
to quasi-one-dimensional strong localization.
PACS numbers: 42.25.Dd,42.25.Hz
I. INTRODUCTION
The Anderson localization of light has been one of the
most fascinating phenomena in condensed matter physics

Ethiopia - Travellers' Handbook (Travel Guide)
|
Trevor Jenner
|
As Globetrotters we all have our preferences when it comes to guidebooks. We all remember when our guidebook was our greatest friend or almost ruined our day when we needed it most, especially when under pressure. So I got very excited when I received a copy of Ethiopia - Travellers Handbook by Trevor Jenner and decided to put it through its paces during my three week trip to this country in April 2017. Trevor Jenner is a former operator of tours to Ethiopia, who has spent two decades in travel and exploration of the country. The guidebook comes highly recommended by Anne Parsons, secretary of Anglo - Ethiopian Society, Joanna Lumley and includes a foreword by Colonel John Blashford-Snell. I dreamt about visiting Ethiopia since being at secondary school when I read The Emperor by Ryszard Kapuscinski but it took me almost 25 years till I finally decided to pack up and go. The final push was given to me by Sam McManus from the Yellow Wood Adventures who gave a talk on Ethiopia at Globetrotters Club earlier in the year. My plan was to visit the tribes in Omo Valley in the south of the country and Christian churches in Lalibella up north, so I only used part of the book. In my experience I found that Travellers Handbook helped me through most of the confusing situations while traveling due to its extensive, up to date and in-depth information on history, people, myths, the political situation, topography, religion, language and all the practicalities you need to know before you go and when you get there. It even has a whole chapter on fauna! All the sections in the book are very clearly laid out and straight to the point. It has advice for every occasion. First time in Omo Valley? No problem! It provides a great schedule as a suggestion for the first time traveller. All this is based on Trevor s own experience so I learned very quickly to trust his judgment and rely on his opinion. I was travelling independently so I used the maps from the Travellers Handbook for general guidance and supported these with a more detailed map of the country for general travelling and higher level view. For those who need one, Trevor provides a handy list of the best maps available which you can buy separately. As for Addis and Lalibella, maps in the book were very detailed and extremely helpful. The book is printed on glossy paper to get the best quality for over 650 colour images which makes the book quite heavy - this may be a consideration for some travellers. But the pictures are great quality; they not only show how Ethiopia looks but also how it feels. The book provides extensive lists of places to stay and I used them throughout my journey but you will have to do some internet searching to get more details what those places are like. I treated this list as good database to choose from. I also found very easy and straightforward to use. It is a very high quality publication and I am planning to take it again to Ethiopia during my next trip! --Jacek, Globetrotters Club Member<br /><br />This is a really excellent guidebook which far outstrips all others in the field for its scope, detail and attractive presentation. --Richard Snailham for the Scientific Exploration Society<br /><br />Trevor Jenner's book is a well-researched and comprehensive guide for anyone travelling to Ethiopia with valuable insights into the wildlife, culture and history of this fascinating and welcoming country. --Naturetrek: Wildlife holidays worldwide

Ambassador of the Dead
|
Askold Melnyczuk
|
This tale of Ukrainian immigrants' attempts at adjustment to life in America has a dreamy affect, but its undercurrent of emotional honesty gives it bite. Nick, a Boston doctor, is drawn back to his hometown of Elizabeth, N.J., by the news that his childhood friend Alex is in trouble although he does not yet know what kind of trouble. He finds first that Alex's mother, Ada, once vibrant and attractive, is now embittered, lonely and nearly blind. Nick reminisces about his past, focusing on memories of his friend for most of the book. As a child, Alex was mischievous, but eventually became more and more wild, due in part to his father's abuse and subsequent abandonment. Throughout the novel he is agitated by society and by his own psyche, gradually losing his sanity. Melnyczuk (What Is Told) writes exceedingly well-controlled miniature narratives that begin as soft-focus reveries and develop into darker tales that confidently clinch the attention and release it just as smoothly. One of Alex's mother's early lovers seems gentle during their initial courtship, then expresses sadomasochistic desires; she pursues another failed romance with an migr poet. Even the story of the narrator's marriage is laced with strife: his wife confesses that she had rejected his earliest advances because he was Ukrainian and she was Jewish. The book drifts in a Proustian fashion, vividly portraying the difficulties of cultural assimilation until the jarring conclusion. Recollections that might have fizzled in another author's hands here grow luminous and haunting.

"This is a notable book that constitutes a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in the study of Clifford algebras and their applications. The book is written in a concise way and provides a precises introduction to the old and new developments concerning Clifford's ideas. It can be used by either students or researchers in mathematics or physics who want to master this important subject." <br />Pierre Angles, Mathematical Reviews<br /><br />"... it became clear that Garling has spotted a need for a particular type of book, and has delivered it extremely well. Of all the books written on the subject, Garling's is by some way the most compact and concise... this is a very good book which provides a balanced and concise introduction to the subject of Clifford Algebras. Math students will find it ideal for quickly covering a range of algebraic properties, and physicists will find it a very handy source of reference for a variety of material." <br />Chris Doran, SIAM News

A simple algorithm for extending the

Zoran Skoda, zskoda@irb.hr
Abstract. For any homogeneous identity between q-minors, we provide an
identity between P, Q-minors.
1- ([D [21 [8]) Suppose we are given n x n matrices P = (pij) and Q = (qij)
with invertible entries in the ground field k, for which there exist q such that
PijQij = Q^, Qij = Qji^, i < j, and qu = pu, for all i. (1)
Define an associative algebra J^{P,Q;'k,n) := k(Tj,i,j = 1, . . . ,n)/I,
where / is the ideal spanned by the relations
T,%^ = q^.T^'Tt, I < j

Abstract
A variational principle for two-fluid mixtures is proposed. The Lagrangian
is constructed as the difference between the kinetic energy of the mixture and
a thermodynamic potential conjugated to the internal energy with respect to
the relative velocity of phases. The equations of motion and a set of Rankine-
Hugoniot conditions are obtained. It is proved also that the convexity of the
internal energy guarantees the hyperbolicity of the one-dimensional equations
of motion linearized at rest.

We present results of two- and three-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations
of magnetic-turbulence production by isotropic cosmic-ray ions drifting upstream
of supernova remnant shocks. The studies aim at testing recent predictions of a
strong amplification of short-wavelength magnetic field and at studying the sub-
sequent evolution of the magnetic turbulence and its backreaction on cosmic ray
trajectories. We observe that an oblique filamentary mode grows more rapidly

Abstract — It is known that the frame error rate of turbo codes
on quasi-static fading channels can be accurately approximated
using the convergence threshold of the corresponding iterative
decoder. This paper considers quasi-static fading channels and
demonstrates that non-iterative schemes can also be character-
ized by a similar threshold based on which their frame error rate
can be readily estimated. In particular, we show that this thresh-
old is a function of the probability of successful frame detection
in additive white Gaussian noise,

(Dated: April 1, 2008)
We report an uncertainty evaluation of an optical lattice clock based on the So ^ 3 Po transition
in the bosonic isotope 174 Yb by use of magnetically induced spectroscopy. The absolute frequency
of the 1 So <-> 3 -Po transition has been determined through comparisons with optical and microwave
standards at NIST. The weighted mean of the evaluations is i/( 174 Yb)=518 294 025 309 217.8(0.9) Hz.
The uncertainty due to systematic effects has been reduced to less than 0.8 Hz, which represents
1.5 x 10~ 15 in fractional frequency.

"Written in a very lucid and engaging style, with numerous illustrations, evoking geometric intuitions, the book should...be comprehensible to newcomers in quantum information theory with moderate mathematical background in algebra, geometry and probability theory. The didactic value of the book is ameliorated with well chosen, illustrative exercises closing each chapter. Geometry of Quantum States can be considered an indispensable item on a bookshelf of everyone interested in quantum information theory and its mathematical background." <br />World Scientific <br />Milosz Michalski, Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University<br /><br />'Bengtsson's and Zyczkowski's book is an artful presentation of the geometry that lies behind quantum theory ... the authors collect, and artfully explain, many important results scattered throughout the literature on mathematical physics. The careful explication of statistical distinguishability metrics (Fubini-Study and Bures) is the best I have read.' Gerard Milburn, University of Queensland<br /><br />'Bengtsson and Zyczkowski's beautifully illustrated volume ... attempts to cover considerable ground in its 418 pages.' D. W. Hook, Journal of Physics<br /><br />'The authors, distinguished mathematical physicists, have written a markedly distinctive, dedicatedly pedagogical, suitably rigorous text, designed, in part, for advanced undergraduates familiar with the principles of quantum mechanics. The book, pleasing in character and enthusiastic in tone, has many stimulating diagrams and tables, as well as problem sets (with hints and answers supplied at the end). The diverse topics covered - conveniently all assembled here - reflect the geometrically-oriented, fundamental quantum-information-theoretic interests and expertise of the two authors.' Paul B.

A scheme to generate three qubit maximally entangled W-states, using three trapped ions in-
teracting with red sideband tuned single mode field of a high finesse cavity, is proposed. For the
cavity field initially prepared in a number state, the probability of generating three ion W-state is

>P . interaction time needed for W-state generation is found to be of the order of 10 /i sec. It is found
that for a fixed number of photons in the cavity the nature of entanglement of ionic internal states

POSITIVITY AND THE CANONICAL BASIS OF TENSOR PRODUCTS OF
FINITE-DIMENSIONAL IRREDUCIBLE REPRESENTATIONS OF QUANTUM sl{k)
JOSHUA SUSSAN
Abstract. In a catogorification of tensor products of fundamental representations of quantum sl{k) via
highest weight categories, the indecomposable tilting modules descend to the canonical basis. Projective
functors map tilting modules to tilting modules implying the coefficients of the canonical basis of tensor
products of finite dimensional, irreducible representations under the action of the Chevalley generators are
positive.
1. Introduction
G. Lusztig gave a geometric construction of the canonical basis in the lower half of the quantized enveloping
algebra Z-(7(g) where g is a finite-dimensional or affine Kac-Moody algebra [Lus]. Due to the geometric nature
of this basis, various coefficients associated to this basis are positive and integral. M. Kashiwara constructed

Space Science: Challenges for the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis of UFO Phenomena
|
Antonio Paris
|
The scientific investigation into UFO phenomena has been inundated with topics such as the alien agenda, disclosure petitions, and the alleged engineering of human-alien hybrids; and pseudoscience such as metaphysics and astral projection. More importantly, it appears the UFO community is no longer concerned whether or not extraterrestrials can actually exist and are capable of interstellar or intergalactic travel. This book, therefore, addresses what the UFO community fails to address: the astrophysical properties of alleged extraterrestrial star systems; the physiological aspects of interstellar travel; the speed of light and why it matters; and the limits of interstellar travel, to name a few. Collectively called Space Science, these topics will provide the UFO enthusiast a better understanding of how space functions; and more importantly, scientific facts designed to challenge the UFO community into shaping better arguments for the extraterrestrial hypothesis of UFO phenomena.

A comprehensive study of the two-dimensional (2D) compass model on the square lattice is performed for
classical and quantum spin degrees of freedom using Monte Carlo and quantum Monte Carlo methods. We
employ state-of-the-art implementations using Metropolis, stochastic series expansion and parallel tempering
techniques to obtain the critical ordering temperatures and critical exponents. In a pre-investigation we re-
consider the classical compass model where we study and contrast the finite-size scaling behavior of ordinary
periodic boundary conditions against annealed b

Pairing symmetry and properties of iron-based high temperature superconductors
Yuan Wan and Qiang-Hua Wangj
National Laboratory of Solid State Micro structures & Department of Physics, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China
(Dated: June 3, 2008)
Pairing symmetry is important to indentify the pairing mechanism. The analysis becomes par-
ticularly timely and important for the newly discovered iron-based multi-orbital superconductors.
From group theory point of view we classified all pairing matrices (in the orbital space) that carry
irreducible representations of the system. The quasiparticle gap falls into three categories: full,
nodal and gapless. The nodal-gap states show conventional Volovik effect even for on-site pairing.
The gapless states are odd in orbital space, have a negative superfluid density and are therefore
unstable. In connection to experiments we proposed possible pairing states and implications for the
pairing mechanism.

Abstract
Cracking and peeling of a layer of clay on desiccation has been simulated using a
spring model. A vertical section through the layer with finite thickness is represented
by a rectangular array of nodes connected by linear springs on a square lattice. The
effect of reduction of the natural length of the springs, which mimics the drying
is studied. Varying the strength of adhesion between sample and substrate and
the rate of penetration of the drying front produces an interest

Observation of magnetic field lines in the vicinity of a
superconductor with the naked eye
Yoshihiko Saito
Osaka Science Museum, Osaka- shi 530-0005 Japa^\
(Dated: November 4, 2008)
Abstract
Meissner effect and pinning effect are clearly observed with the naked eye. A GdBaCuO high-
temperature superconductor (HTS) disk fabricated by Nippon Steel Corporation, a 100mm cubic
NdFeB sintered magnet, and iron wires coated by colored are used. When the HTS is put in
the magnetic field of the magnet, it can be observed by the wires that the magnetic field lines
are excluded from the superconductor (Meissner effect) as well as are pinned in the superconduc-
tor® (pinning effect).

Abstract
It is shown that highly localized solitons can be created in lower dimen-
sional Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), trapped in a regular harmonic
trap, by temporally varying the trap frequency. A BEC confined in such
a trap can be effectively used to construct a pulsed atomic laser emitting
coherent atomic wave packets. It is also shown that one has complete
control over the spatio-temporal dynamics of the solitons. The dynamics
of these solitons are compared with those constructed in a BEC where the
trap frequency is constant.

Black Holes (Our Solar System)
|
Dana Meachen Rau
|
Grade 3-5Rau gazes far beyond our astronomical neighborhood to introduce some of the universe's most mysterious and spectacular phenomena. Rightly noting in the first book that black holes by their very nature can neither be seen nor directly measured, she discusses what we can infer and theorize from indirect observations, then closes with a revealing 2004 discovery. In the companion volume, she describes the nature of our own galaxy, then presents a gallery of other types, along with brief mentions of quasars, clusters, and superclusters. Both books are illustrated with a mix of photos and digital art that usually reinforces or expands upon topics in the narrative and close with a column of extra facts, plus short lists of multimedia resources for further inquiry. Earning high marks for visual appeal, and for clear, specific presentation of material, these offerings make worthy additions or updates for most collections.<i>John Peters, New York Public Library</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Effects of Magnetic Fields on the Diskoseismic Modes of
Accreting Black Holes
Wen Fu and Dong Lai
Department of Astronomy, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853
Email: wenfu, dong@astro.cornell.edu
ABSTRACT
The origin of the rapid quasi-periodic variabilities observed in a number of
accreting black hole X-ray binaries is not understood. It has been suggested that
these variabilities are associated with diskoseismic oscillation modes of the black
hole accretion disk. In particular, in a disk with no magnetic field, the so-called
g-modes (inertial oscillations) can be self-trapped at the inner region of the disk
due to general relativistic effects. Real accretion disks, however, are expected to
be turbulent and contain appreciable magnetic fields. We show in this paper that
even a weak magnetic field (with the magnetic energy much less than the thermal
energy) can modify or "destroy" the self-trapping zone of disk g-modes, rendering
their existence questionable in re

Lasers: Harnessing the Atom's Light
|
James P. Harbison
|
It is curious that although <a href="/exec/obidos/Author=Wells%2c%20H.%20G./${0}">H. G. Wells</a> had invading Martians use destructive, focused "heat rays" in 1898, and although <a href="/exec/obidos/Author=Einstein%2c%20Albert/${0}">Einstein</a> laid their theoretical foundation in 1917, lasers weren't invented until 1960. Perhaps in homage to Wells, our image of lasers often has more to do with weaponry than with the lasers in our printers, compact disc players, grocery stores, and telephone systems. Bell Labs physicists James Harbison and Robert Nahory illuminate (ahem) the quantum principles behind modern semiconductor lasers in far greater and clearer detail than is usual in popular accounts. The result is a first-class introduction to optics, quantum chemistry, and electronics, as well as a guide to the "Age of Optoelectronics" that is just beginning.

Fast Excitation and Photon Emission of a Single- Atom-Cavity System

Max-Planck-Institut fiir Quantenoptik, Hans-Kopfermann-Strasse 1, 8574-8 Garching, Germany
(Dated: December 3, 2008)
We report on the fast excitation of a single atom coupled to an optical cavity using laser pulses
that are much shorter than all other relevant processes. The cavity frequency constitutes a control
parameter that allows the creation of single photons in a superposition of two tunable frequencies.
Each photon emitted from the cavity thus exhibits a pronounced amplitude modulation determined
by the oscillatory energy exchange between the atom and the cavity. Our technique constitutes a
versatile tool for future quantum networking experiments.

Lectures on rings and modules
|
Joachim Lambek
|
The introductory Chapter One attempts to cover enough of the fundamental concepts of algebra to make these notes self-contained. Chapter Two contains selected results int he case of Boolean and other commutative rings, even if some of these results are treated in greater generality later. Chapter three deals with the classical structure theory of associative rings, anything that can be done conveniently without the concept of "injectivity." In Chapter Four, injective modules and rings of quotients are studied in some detail. Chapter five offers an introduction to homological algebra, culminating in a new technique for chasing squares.

Vectors, Cyclic Submodules and Projective
Spaces Linked with Ternions

' Abstract
G •
r-{ . Given a ring of ternions R, i.e., a ring isomorphic to that of upper
triangular 2x2 matrices with entries from an arbitrary commutative field
, F, a complete classification is performed of the vectors from the free left
i?-module R"^^ , n > 1, and of the cyclic submodules generated by these
vectors. The vectors fall into 5 + \F\ and the submodules into 6 distinct
orbits under the action of the general linear group GL„+i(ii).
Particular attention is paid to free cyclic submodules generated by
non-unimodular vectors, as these are linked with the lines of PG(n, _F),
. the n-dimensional projective space over F. In the finite case, F — GF{q),
explicit formulas are derived for both the total number of non-unimodular
free cyclic submodules and the number of such submodules passing through
a given vector. These formulas yield a

Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model

Michael Dine
|
"An excellent survey and timely introduction to a wide range of topics concerning physics beyond the standard model, by one of the most dynamic researchers in the field. Dine has a gift for explaining difficult concepts in a transparent way. The book has wonderful insights to offer beginning graduate students and experienced researchers alike." <br />Nima Arkani-Hamed, Institute for Advanced Study<br /><br />"How many times did you need to find the answer to a basic question about the formalism and especially the phenomenology of general relativity, the Standard Model, its supersymmetric and grand unified extensions, and other serious models of new physics, as well as the most important experimental constraints and the realization of the key models within string theory? Dine's book will solve most of these problems for you and give you much more, namely the state-of-the-art picture of reality as seen by a leading superstring phenomenologist." <br />Lubos Motl, Harvard University<br /><br />"This book gives a broad overview of most of the current issues in theoretical high energy physics. It introduces and discusses a wide range of topics from a pragmatic point of view. Although some of these topics are addressed in other books, this one gives a uniform and self-contained exposition of all of them. The book can be used as an excellent text in various advanced graduate courses. It is also an extremely useful reference book for researchers in the field, both for graduate students and established senior faculty. Dine's deep insights and broad perspective make this book an essential text. I am sure it will become a classic. Many physicists expect that with the advent of the LHC a revival of model building will take place. This book is the best tool kit a modern model builder will need." <br />Nathan Seiberg, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton<br /><br />"Dine's 170-page introduction to string theory covers a broad range of topics... and indeed describe the state of the art and science today." <br />Gordan Kane, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor for Physics Today<br /><br />"An excellent book and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in understanding the possible role of string theory and low-energy supersymmetry in carrying physics beyond the Standard Model." <br />Douglas J.

Abstract
We study the supersymmetric version of the type-II seesaw mechanism assuming minimal su-
pergravity boundary conditions. We calculate branching ratios for lepton flavour violating (LFV)
scalar tau decays, potentially observable at the LHC, as well as LFV decays at low energy, such as
h — ► lj + J and compare their sensitivity to the unknown seesaw parameters. In the minimal case of
only one triplet coupling to the standard model lepton doublets, ratios of LFV branching ratios can
be related unambigously to neutrino oscillation parameters. We also discuss how measurements of
