Carrying a Secret in My Heart--

Children of the Victims of the Reprisals After the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 : an Oral History

By: Zsuzsanna K?r”si,Adrienne Moln?r

This book is based on interviews with the children of those imprisoned or executed for their involvement in the 1956 revolution. The reader learns about the patterns of communication within the families, changes in social status, how relatives and friends reacted, and what sorts of problems these children encountered in pursuing their studies, in trying to assimilate into society as adults, and in relating to those fathers who did return."--Jacket.

Advanced Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering

By: S.I. Hayek

Gathering an extensive range of mathematical topics into a plenary reference/text for solving science and engineering problems, Advanced Mathematical Models in Science and Engineering elucidates integral methods, field equation derivations, and operations applicable to modern science systems. Applying academic skills to practical problems in science and engineering, the author reviews basic methods of integration and series solutions for ordinary differential equations; introduces derivations and solution methods for linear boundary value problems in one dimension, covering eigenfunctions and eigenfunction expansions, orthogonality, and adjoint and self-adjoint systems; discusses complex variables, calculus, and integrals as well as application of residues and the integration of multivalued functions; considers linear partial differential equations in classical physics and engineering with derivations for the topics of wave equations, heat flow, vibration, and strength of materials; clarifies the calculus for integral transforms; explains Green's functions for ordinary and partial differential equations for unbounded and bounded media; examines asymptotic methods; presents methods for asymptotic solutions of ordinary differential equations; and more.

The Atavist Effect

Rika's Run

By: S. I. McDonald

Introducing the first book in a speculative fiction series called The Atavist Effect: Rika's Run, this sets the framework of an epic tale that starts with the actions of unlikely characters, whose pursuit of their faith, family, and freedom put them against distant, seemingly all-powerful forces. The story is told from the twenty-second century through the research of a maker's apprentice trying to keep a seat in the qargi, the maker school. Like a complex puzzle, he pieces together old family stories to discover how a girl changed the events of the twenty-first century. On a stolen flying contraption and searching for her brother, Rika sowed the seeds of rebellion against technocratic globalists quietly seizing control and restricting people's freedoms. The storyteller already knows that the world collapsed in the late twenty-first century; after all, it is a part of the curriculum in school. But the mystery is how it happened and how it all came back together. How do the choices of the previous generations impact the present? What is the right response when faced with difficult decisions against impossible odds? While the book deals with tough issues, it's written for a diverse audience--from youth to those blessed with age. The characters are multigenerational, opening the door for families to read the book together to discover and talk about what happens and how things work in the world between the pages. It's not science fiction. It's science possible. Welcome to the age of cold-steam--a time for the makers.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Field Case Studies

Chapter 2. Enhanced Oil Recovery by Using CO2 Foams: Fundamentals and Field Applications

By: S. Lee,S.I. Kam

Based on the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) survey in Oil and Gas Journal (2010), approximately 280,000bbl of oil per day or 6% of US crude oil production was produced by carbon dioxide (CO2) EOR. Just like any other gas injection processes, field CO2 flooding projects suffer from poor sweep efficiency due to early gas breakthrough, unfavorable mobility ratio, reservoir heterogeneity, viscous fingering and channeling, and gravity segregation. Many of these problems are believed to be alleviated or overcome by foaming the injected CO2. Since the 1970s, CO2-foam flooding has been used as a commercially viable method for EOR processes. Foams, defined as a mixture of internal gas phase in a continuous external liquid phase containing surfactant molecules, can improve sweep efficiency significantly by reducing gas mobility, especially in the reservoirs with a high level of geological heterogeneity. This chapter consists of three main parts: the first part (Section 2.1) deals with fundamentals on foams in porous media and recent advances in this field of research, including three foam states (weak-foam, strong-foam, and intermediate states) and two steady-state flow regimes of strong foams; the second part (Section 2.2) overviews field examples of foam-assisted CO2-EOR processes; and the third part (Section 2.3) covers typical field injection and production responses if CO2-foam pilot or field-scale treatments are successful.

Negotiating Urban Space

Negotiating Urban Space

Urbanization and Late Ming Nanjing

By: Si-yen Fei

Urbanization was central to development in late imperial China. Yet its impact is heatedly debated, although scholars agree that it triggered neither Weberian urban autonomy nor Habermasian civil society. This book argues that this conceptual impasse derives from the fact that the seemingly continuous urban expansion was in fact punctuated by a wide variety of “dynastic urbanisms.” Historians should, the author contends, view urbanization not as an automatic by-product of commercial forces but as a process shaped by institutional frameworks and cultural trends in each dynasty. This characteristic is particularly evident in the Ming. As the empire grew increasingly urbanized, the gap between the early Ming valorization of the rural and late Ming reality infringed upon the livelihood and identity of urban residents. This contradiction went almost unremarked in court forums and discussions among elites, leaving its resolution to local initiatives and negotiations. Using Nanjing—a metropolis along the Yangzi River and onetime capital of the Ming—as a central case, the author demonstrates that, prompted by this unique form of urban–rural contradiction, the actions and creations of urban residents transformed the city on multiple levels: as an urban community, as a metropolitan region, as an imagined space, and, finally, as a discursive subject.

Economic Models for Policy Making

Principles and Designs Revisited

By: S. I. Cohen

Over the past decades, many different kinds of models have been developed that have been of use to policy makers, but until now the different approaches have not been brought together with a view to enhancing the systematic unification and evaluation of these models. This new volume aims to fill this gap by bringing together four decades' worth of work by S. I. Cohen on economic modelling for policy making. Work on older models has been rewritten and brought fully up to date, and these older models have therefore been brought back to the fore, both to assess how they influenced more recent models and to see how they could be used today. The focus of the book is on models for development policies in developing economies, but there are some chapters that relate to economic policies in transition and developed economies. The policy areas covered are of typical interest in developing and transition economies. They include those relating to trade liberalization reforms, sustainable development, industrial development, agrarian reform, growth and distribution, human resource development and education, public goods and income transfers. Each chapter contains a brief assessment of the empirical literature on the economic effects of the policy measures discussed in the chapter. The book presents a platform of economic modelling that can serve as a refresher for practising professionals, as well as a reference companion for graduates engaging in economic modelling and policy preparations.

Beam Measurement

Proceedings of the Joint US-CERN-Japan-Russia School on Particle Accelerators, Montreux, and CERN, Switzerland, 11-20 May, 1998

By: S. I. Kurokawa

This volume comprises the proceedings of the 8th Joint School on accelerator physics. On this occasion, the US, CERN, Japan and Russia Particle Accelerator Schools collaborated to present the topic "Beam Measurements." The aim was to provide an introduction to the principles of beam dynamics and measurements in circular particle accelerators. This was achieved by a series of lectures under the heading of "single-particle dynamics," "beam measurements" and then "multi-particle dynamics," along with practical courses on feedback and data processing, maps and simulation, diagnostic and microwave measurements. The resulting proceedings represent a unique summary of the currently available knowledge on beam measurements applied to circular particle accelerators.
