Greece in the not so distant future: a nation locked in the aftermath of austerity and economic standstill, whose people live a terrifying existence plagued by narcotics, abuse and suicide. The Greeks are mute with fatigue. George Andreou, their incumbent prime minister, sits idly by. Meanwhile, something far more sinister than the world is ready to witness is stirring beneath the frail crock plates of Greek society as the brutally oppressed ashes of the past begin to ignite once more. In the form of NEA, a highly sophisticated military faction of a million Russian-trained aggrieved and mentally disturbed Greek men, the people of the Hellenic Republic are being given a one-shot opportunity t...
This Carg` ese school of Particle physics is meant to bridge the narr- ing gap between astrophysical observations and particle physics. The lectures supply the students with a theoretical background which covers severalaspectsofthecosmologicalscenario: matter-antimatterasym- try, the nature of dark matter, the acceleration of the expansion and the cosmological constant and the geometry of the universe as well as m- ernviewsonparticlephysicsincludingsupersymmetry, extradimensions scenarii and neutrino oscillations. ix Preface TheinvestigationofnuclearabundancesbyAlpher, Bethe, andGamow (1948) was the?rst intrusion of subatomic physics into cosmology. In contrast with their assumption, most nu...
In August 1779, Charles Cameron, a Scottish architect based in London, set sail for St. Petersburg. He had been summoned by Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, to create a magnificent architectural setting for the splendours and extravagances of her court - most especially the two luxurious palace ensembles outside St. Petersburg at Tsarskoye Selo and Pavlovsk. His reputation prior to his arrival in Russia was based almost entirely on his authorship of a book on the baths of ancient Rome - he had built nothing as yet - but while serving as Architect to Her Imperial Majesty, Cameron was responsible for some of the most dazzling and original architectural creations of the eighteenth centur...
Amid the storm of Stalin's pre-World War II Soviet Russia, "Hard Kisses, Bitter Tears" sweeps readers into the gripping narrative of Larion Daneelivich Sulupin. Against a backdrop of global upheaval, Larion's young love and dreams are shattered by the outbreak of war. As conflict rages, he battles through the horrors of the battlefield and enslavement, longing to reunite with his wife and son. The question lingers: Will love endure the brutality of war and separation? This novel weaves a tapestry of resilience, sacrifice, and hope, painting a vivid picture of the human spirit's unyielding strength in the face of adversity. "Hard Kisses, Bitter Tears" by Paul A. Kazakov is a poignant tale of love and courage in the midst of history's chaos. Order your copy today and embark on a journey through heartache and triumph.
The papers included here deal with the many faces of renormalization group formalism as it is used in different branches of theoretical physics. The subjects covered emphasize various applications to the theory of turbulence, chaos, quantum chaos in dynamical systems, spin systems and vector models. Also discussed are applications to related topics such as quantum field theory and chromodynamics, high temperature superconductivity and plasma physics.
This volume is a collection of dedicated reviews covering all aspects of theoretical high energy physics and some aspects of solid state physics. Some of the papers are broad reviews of topics that span the entire field while others are surveys of authors' personal achievements. This is the most comprehensive review collection reflecting state of the art at the end of 2004. An important and unique aspect is a special effort the authors have invested in making the presentation pedagogical
This book provides an overview of the current of the state of the art in the multiscale mechanics of solids and structures. It comprehensively discusses new materials, including theoretical and experimental investigations their durability and strength, as well as fractures and damage
New and striking results obtained in recent years from an intensive study of asymptotic combinatorics have led to a new, higher level of understanding of related problems: the theory of integrable systems, the Riemann-Hilbert problem, asymptotic representation theory, spectra of random matrices, combinatorics of Young diagrams and permutations, and even some aspects of quantum field theory.
At the Summer School Saint Petersburg 2001, the main lecture courses bore on recent progress in asymptotic representation theory: those written up for this volume deal with the theory of representations of infinite symmetric groups, and groups of infinite matrices over finite fields; Riemann-Hilbert problem techniques applied to the study of spectra of random matrices and asymptotics of Young diagrams with Plancherel measure; the corresponding central limit theorems; the combinatorics of modular curves and random trees with application to QFT; free probability and random matrices, and Hecke algebras.
