This volume represents a broad survey of current research in the fields of nonlinear analysis and nonlinear differential equations. It is dedicated to Djairo G. de Figueiredo on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The collection of 34 research and survey articles reflects the wide range of interests of Djairo de Figueiredo, including:
- various types of nonlinear partial differential equations and systems, in particular equations of elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and mixed type;
- equations of SchrAdinger, Maxwell, Navier-Stokes, Bernoulli-Euler, Seiberg-Witten, Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg;
- existence, uniqueness and multiplicity of solutions;
- critical Sobolev growth and connected phenomena;
- qualitative properties, regularity and shape of solutions;
- inequalities, a-priori estimates and asymptotic behavior;
- various applications to models such as asymptotic membranes, nonlinear plates and inhomogeneous fluids.
The contributions of so many distinguished mathematicians to this volume document the importance and lasting influence of the mathematical research of Djairo de Figueiredo. The book thus is a source of new ideas and results and should appeal to graduate students and mathematicians interested in nonlinear problems.

In a moment of despair, and lost without hope, David Costa prayed out to God an asked Jesus for forgiveness of his sins. Like so many before him, he believed he was saved. But later in life, an alluring question overcame him: Who really is Jesus? Raised in part in a non-religious home by a scientist father, David was taught to question things. His personal journey has lead him to the heart of Christianity by asking ten questions of Jesus, such as: Where are Heaven and Hell located? and Does God have a plan for everyone? The questions have been graciously answered in Jesus name by Senior Pastor Dr. Jeff Kaplan and Death Row Ministers Jerome Derricks & Michael Nadraus. David then analyzes his clergymen's answers and then brings to discussion his own findings. Whether you are a Christian, atheist, or agnostic, your interpretation of the Bible and Jesus will never be the same

Swiss private banking in either form is not for everyone: on average a Swiss private bank will require a minimum asset value of between 500,000 and 1 million Swiss Francs (although in some cases certain private banks will also accept affluent clients with a 'mere' 100,000 Swiss Francs to start with). Yet despite this restriction, it is not necessary to have any particular sum of money at your disposal to apply some of the good Swiss private-banking principles on your own. The Portable Private Banker has been written to help you do this, and that does not mean firing your advisors and using your money to buy and sell through daily trades on the stock exchange. In fact, quite the opposite. As the majority of private banks will today manage your assets through an investment in so-called Best in Class funds and ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), this book adopts the same private-banking approach in managing your wealth: with funds and ETFs. The Portable Private Banker is used as a textbook for the Money Management class within the University of Cumbria MBA at Robert Kennedy College, Zurich, Switzerland.
