Post-apocalyptic thriller starring Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Zegers
and Bill Paxton. An attempt to compensate for the Earth being
affected by global warming results in a technological hiccup which
turns the planet's surface into one great snowy expanse. The few
remaining survivors, who are now holed up in underground bunkers
trying to find a solution to the meteorological disaster, are
confronted with difficult living conditions and the ever present
threat of extinction. Colony 7, which is led by the benevolent and
world-weary Briggs (Fishburne), receives a distress call from the
nearby Colony 5 and Briggs recruits a team to traverse the frozen
landscape and help their fellow survivors. However, when they
arrive, they realise that the distress call is part of a much
bigger problem when they find that Colony 5 is under attack from a
group of crazed cannibals who have turned against their kin in the
hope of surviving the seemingly perpetual winter...
Up-to-Date Coverage of the Navier-Stokes Equation from an Expert in
Harmonic Analysis The complete resolution of the Navier-Stokes
equation-one of the Clay Millennium Prize Problems-remains an
important open challenge in partial differential equations (PDEs)
research despite substantial studies on turbulence and
three-dimensional fluids. The Navier-Stokes Problem in the 21st
Century provides a self-contained guide to the role of harmonic
analysis in the PDEs of fluid mechanics. The book focuses on
incompressible deterministic Navier-Stokes equations in the case of
a fluid filling the whole space. It explores the meaning of the
equations, open problems, and recent progress. It includes
classical results on local existence and studies criterion for
regularity or uniqueness of solutions. The book also incorporates
historical references to the (pre)history of the equations as well
as recent references that highlight active mathematical research in
the field.
Praise for the first edition “The author is an outstanding expert
in harmonic analysis who has made important contributions. The book
contains rigorous proofs of a number of the latest results in the
field. I strongly recommend the book to postgraduate students and
researchers working on challenging problems of harmonic analysis
and mathematical theory of Navier-Stokes equations." —Gregory
Seregin, St Hildas College, Oxford University “"This is a great
book on the mathematical aspects of the fundamental equations of
hydrodynamics, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. It
covers many important topics and recent results and gives the
reader a very good idea about where the theory stands at
present.†—Vladimir Sverak, University of Minnesota The
complete resolution of the Navier–Stokes equation—one of the
Clay Millennium Prize Problems—remains an important open
challenge in partial differential equations (PDEs) research despite
substantial studies on turbulence and three-dimensional fluids. The
Navier–Stokes Problem in the 21st Century, Second Edition
continues to provide a self-contained guide to the role of harmonic
analysis in the PDEs of fluid mechanics, now revised to include
fresh examples, theorems, results, and references that have become
relevant since the first edition published in 2016.

Portia Doubleday and Marc-André Grondin star in this romantic
comedy directed by Sean Garrity. Kate (Doubleday) dreams of being a
designer for a top fashion house, but her father's reputation for
ripping off the houses she wants to work for makes getting a job
near impossible. When she agrees to work for the family business
she decides to disguise herself as a top male designer in order to
expose the company for the frauds that they really are. The cast
also includes Chris Noth, Lauren Holly and Natalie Krill.
The Navier-Stokes equations: fascinating, fundamentally important, and challenging,. Although many questions remain open, progress has been made in recent years. The regularity criterion of Caffarelli, Kohn, and Nirenberg led to many new results on existence and non-existence of solutions, and the very active search for mild solutions in the 1990's culminated in the theorem of Koch and Tataru that, in some ways, provides a definitive answer.
Recent Developments in the Navier-Stokes Problem brings these and other advances together in a self-contained exposition presented from the perspective of real harmonic analysis. The author first builds a careful foundation in real harmonic analysis, introducing all the material needed for his later discussions. He then studies the Navier-Stokes equations on the whole space, exploring previously scattered results such as the decay of solutions in space and in time, uniqueness, self-similar solutions, the decay of Lebesgue or Besov norms of solutions, and the existence of solutions for a uniformly locally square integrable initial value. Many of the proofs and statements are original and, to the extent possible, presented in the context of real harmonic analysis.
Although the existence, regularity, and uniqueness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations continue to be a challenge, this book is a welcome opportunity for mathematicians and physicists alike to explore the problem's intricacies from a new and enlightening perspective.

This book, based on lectures given at the Polytechnic of Milan,
gives a broad overview of the field of polymer dynamics. In these
lectures the aim is to stress the fundamental concepts of the
behaviour of polymers without drawing on the more advanced
mathematical formalism which often obscures the natural elegance of
the subject matter. Professor De Gennes is one of the most
distinguished workers in the field of material science. Therefore
this book will be welcomed by both the experienced researcher in
the area and the interested layman. It will be of particular value
to graduate students.
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, one of the greatest physicists of the
twentieth century, died in 1984. Dirac's college, St John's of
Cambridge, generously endowed annual lectures to be held at
Cambridge University in his memory. This volume contains a much
expanded version of the 1994 Dirac Lecture by Nobel Laureate Pierre
Gilles de Gennes. The book presents an impressionistic tour of the
physics of soft interfaces. Full of insight and interesting asides,
it not only provides an accessible introduction to this topic, but
also lays down many markers and signposts for interesting new
research possibilities. The text begins with a brief discussion of
wetting and dewetting and then goes on to consider the dynamics of
different types of interface before considering adhesion and
polymer/polymer welding.

Fantasy drama directed by Juan Solanas and starring Jim Sturgess,
Kirsten Dunst and Timothy Spall. In a world where two realms with
their own gravity exist in proximity to one another, Adam
(Sturgess) is a relatively ordinary individual. He leads a simple
life but is plagued by the memories of a childhood romance he had
with a girl from the inverse world above. When he catches a glimpse
of Eden (Dunst), now a grown woman, he knows he must reunite with
her no matter what forces come between them.

Over the past few decades we have learned a great deal about the
behavior of such materials as liquid crystals, emulsions and
colloids, polymers, and complex molecules. These materials, called
"soft matter" ("matiere fragile" in French), have neither the rigid
structure and crystalline symmetry of a solid nor the uniformity
and disorder of a fluid or a gas. They have unusual and fascinating
properties: some change their viscosity at our beck and call;
others form layers of two-dimensional liquids; some are polarized,
their molecules all oriented in the same direction and turning in
unison at our command; others make up the foams, bubbles, waxes,
gums, and many other items we take for granted every day. De
Gennes, one of the world's leading experts on these strange forms
of matter, here addresses topics ranging from soft-matter physics -
the formation of rubber, the nature and uses of gum arabic, the
wetting and de-wetting of surfaces, and the mysterious properties
of bubbles and foams - to the activities of science: the role of
individual or team work, the relation of discovery to correction,
and the interplay of conscience and knowledge. In the best
tradition of science writing, this book teaches us about both our
world and ourselves."
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly

advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Rich in titles on
English life and social history, this collection spans the world as
it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles
include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of
nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world
that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American
Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side
of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various

In the mid-sixteenth century Francois I ruled France, and Suleyman
the Magnificent sat on the throne of the Ottoman Empire. Although
the two leaders were separated by culture, religion and politics,
the Catholic Francois and the Muslim Suleyman joined forces for a
time in a political alliance to check the Hapsburg threat to both
their empires. In 1544 Pierre Gilles of Albi, an established
scholar and author, arrived in Constantinople as a member of a
French embassy aimed at furthering this alliance. Constantinople
was then the largest and wealthiest city in Europe. Its nearly
700,000 inhabitants outnumbered the combined populations of western
cities such as Venice, Palermo, Messina, Catania and Naples. It was
the Mediterranean capital, and home to a truly international
population of Turks, Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Gypsies, Arabs,
Africans, Slavs, French and others who lived side by side, for the
most part in peace. They worshipped in over 400 mosques and dozens
of Christian churches, engaged in commerce in tens of thousands of
small ateliers and shops, and sailed the waters of the Bosporus,
Golden Horn and Marmara in thousands of small boats, ferries and
ships. Each year the populace consumed over 100,000 tons of wheat
and other grains and hundreds of thousands of head of cattle and
sheep. It was an age of bold architecture, dazzling ceramics and
textiles, brilliant poetry, history, and philosophy. Gilles'
mission was to find and purchase ancient Greek manuscripts for
Francois' humanist library. But while in Constantinople Gilles
conceived his own project: to study the history and monuments of
the former Byzantine capital on the spot and to publish his
findings bolstered and compared with what he could learn from the
ancient and medieval sources. The result was his "Topography of
Constantinople and Its Antiquities in Four Books." Kimberly Byrd
offers a new edition of Gilles' important work: "Pierre Gilles'
Constantinople" includes her complete English translation of the
Topography with references to Gilles' sources and to the most
important recent scholarship on the city and its monuments.
English-speaking readers have long relied on John Ball's 1729
translation and on its modernization published by Italica Press in
1988. This fine edition supplants that volume and offers a fresh
and important addition to the scholarship on Constantinople, its
ancient heritage, and to the evolving study and practice of
classical archaeology in Renaissance Europe. 328 pages, 59
illustrations, 5 maps. Preface, bibliography, index.
The study of capillarity is in the midst of a veritable
explosion. What is offered here is not a comprehensive review of
the latest research but rather a compendium of principles designed
for the undergraduate student and for readers interested in the
physics underlying these phenomena.
This Book Is In French. Due to the very old age and scarcity of
this book, many of the pages may be hard to read due to the
blurring of the original text.
This volume contains a selection of important papers by P.G. de
Gennes (1991 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics) which have had a
long-lasting impact on the understanding of condensed matter (solid
state physics, liquid crystals, polymers, interfaces, wetting and
adhesion). A typical example is the original article on "reptation"
of polymer chains. The author has added some "afterthoughts" to the
main papers (explaining their successes or weaknesses), and some
current views on each special problem. Complex systems (polymers or
granular matters, and so forth) are explained without heavy
calculations, using simple scaling laws as the main tool.

The first stage of the physics of long, flexible chains was
pioneered by eminent scientists such as Debye, Kuhn, Kramers, and
Flory, who formulated the basic ideas. In recent years, because of
the availability of new experimental and theoretical tools, a
second stage of the physics of polymers has evolved. In this book,
a noted physicist explains the radical changes that have taken
place in this exciting and rapidly developing field.Pierre-Gilles
de Gennes points out the three developments that have been
essential for recent advances in the study of large-scale
conformations and motions of flexible polymers in solutions and
melts. They are the advent of neutron-scattering experiments on
selectively deuterated molecules; the availability of inelastic
scattering of laser light, which allows us to study the cooperative
motions of the chains; and the discovery of an important
relationship between polymer statistics and critical phenomena,
leading to many simple scaling laws.Until now, information relating
to these advances has not been readily accessible to physical
chemists and polymer scientists because of the difficulties in the
new theoretical language that has come into use. Professor de
Gennes bridges this gap by presenting scaling concepts in terms
that will be understandable to students in chemistry and
engineering as well as in physics.
