Nonlinear Terms in the Generalized Ohm's Law
It is shown that a spatial gradient in the steady flow of an ionized gas introduces terms into the generalized Ohm's law that represent an exchange of momentum between the electrons and the gas flow. Depending upon the flow geometry and gas compressibility this electrokinetic exchange can behave like a generator, a Hall current, or a resistive current. The scale of the phenomenon is L = +/V, where V is fluid velocity, + is electron-positive charge collision time. Electrokinetic conditions apply largely at boundaries. In a resistive medium with a static B-field, the principal condition for electron-flow interchange is that magnetic pressure dominate dynamic pressure. At the boundary of a plasma jet the scale over which EK terms are important is of the order of 1 mm. Only geometry and scale considerations are used in the momentum equation. The electrokinetic generation of surface currents is as fundamental for describing moving media as spacecharge effects are in the static case. (Author).

A documentary history with brief narrative introductions illustrating the evolution of civil affairs policy and practice in the Mediterranean and European theaters.
College of Science and Engineering
"I was fortunate in having an instructor at the University of Minnesota who was looking after me," recalled one electrical engineering graduate of 1949. "When I said, 'What's next?' he said, 'If I were you, I'd just go down the street here to Engineering Research Associates, and I'd think you'd like what they're doing there'." That was Seymour Cray, and his computer designs helped create a notable computer industry in the Twin Cities. Another Minnesota graduate, Earl Bakken (class of 1948), founded Medtronic and the core of a nationally renowned medical devices industry. For 75 years the Institute of Technology, now the College of Science and Engineering, has pioneered in research, innovation, and technology transfer to Minnesota and the world. The people behind this unique institution are revealed in this concise illustrated history, prepared by its own team of professional historians.

Baksheesh Diplomacy
Could the Arab-Israeli conflict have been avoided? Was it possible to achieve peace between Jews and Arabs in Palestine in the 1930s? Rafael Medoff's intriguing study reveals, for the first time, the story of the Fifth Avenune multimillionaires who believed they could bring peace to the Middle East through secret diplomacy and a generous dose of Baksheesh [the Arabic word for bribery]. In documents unearthed from archives on three continents, Medoff has discovered an extraordinary and previously unknown chapter in the history of Middle East diplomacy. Here he brings the story to life. A work of history that reads like a thriller, this book takes the reader from the elite Jewish social dubs of interwar Manhattan to the bustling bazaars of Baghdad, as it sheds fresh light on the Arab-Jewish conflict, the relationship between American Jewry and the Holy Land, and the divisions within the Jewish community over the Palestinian Arab issue.
As for Sinclair Ross
Sinclair Ross (1908-1996), best known for his canonical novel As for Me and My House (1941), and for such familiar short stories as "The Lamp at Noon" and "The Painted Door," is an elusive figure in Canadian literature. A master at portraying the hardships and harsh beauty of the Prairies during the Great Depression, Ross nevertheless received only modest attention from the public during his lifetime. His reluctance to give readings or interviews further contributed to this faint public perception of the man. In As for Sinclair Ross, David Stouck tells the story of a lonely childhood in rural Saskatchewan, of a long and unrewarding career in a bank, and of many failed attempts to be publishe...
