Mechanics of Discontinua is the first book to comprehensively
tackle both the theory ofthis rapidly developing topic and the
applications that span a broad field of scientific and engineering
disciplines, from traditional engineering to physics of
particulates, nano-technology and micro-flows. Authored by a
leading researcher who has been at the cutting edge of discontinua
simulation developments over the last 15 years, the book is
organized into four parts: introductory knowledge, solvers, methods
and applications. In the first chapter a short revision of
Continuum Mechanics together with tensorial calculus is introduced.
Also, a short introduction to the finite element method is given.
The second part of the book introduces key aspects of the subject.
These include a diverse field of applications, together with
fundamental theoretical and algorithmic aspects common to all
methods of Mechanics of Discontinua. The third part of the book
proceeds with the most important computational and simulation
methods including Discrete Element Methods, the Combined
Finite-Discrete Element Method, Molecular Dynamics Methods,
Fracture and Fragmentation solvers and Fluid Coupling. After these
the reader is introduced to applications stretching from
traditional engineering and industry (such as mining, oil industry,
powders) to nanotechnology, medical and science.
"The French Revolution comes alive through the eyes of six diverse
and complex women, in the skilled hands of these amazing
authors."--Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of
Lilac Girls A breathtaking, epic novel illuminating the hopes,
desires, and destinies of princesses and peasants, harlots and
wives, fanatics and philosophers-seven unforgettable women whose
paths cross during one of the most tumultuous and transformative
events in history: the French Revolution. Ribbons of Scarlet is a
timely story of the power of women to start a revolution-and change
the world. In late eighteenth-century France, women do not have a
place in politics. But as the tide of revolution rises, women from
gilded salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwise-upending a
world order that has long oppressed them. Blue-blooded Sophie de
Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and equal rights for
women, and marries the only man in Paris who agrees. Emboldened to
fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that
an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students,
fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than
learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a women's march
to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a
fight. The king's pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to
defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the
old order, even at the risk of her head. But when fanatics use the
newspapers to twist the revolution's ideals into a new tyranny,
even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the
guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife
Manon Roland tries to write a way out of France's blood-soaked
Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely
Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the
nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make
impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and
courtesan's daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man
who controls France's fate: the fearsome Robespierre.
Single molecule techniques, including single molecule
fluorescence, optical tweezers, and scanning probe microscopy,
allow for the manipulation and measurement of single biological
molecules within a live cell or in culture. These approaches,
amongst the most exciting tools available in biology today, offer
powerful new ways to elucidate biological function, both in terms
of revealing mechanisms of action on a molecular level as well as
tracking the behaviour of molecules in living cells. This book
provides the first complete and authoritative treatment of this
rapidly emerging field, explicitly from a biological
perspective.
The contents are organized by biological system or molecule.
Each chapter discusses insights that have been revealed about their
mechanism, structure or function by single molecule techniques.
Among the topics covered are enzymes, motor proteins, membrane
channels, DNA, ribozymes, cytoskeletal proteins, and other key
molecules of current interest. An introduction by the editor
provides a concise review of key principles and an historical
overview. The last section discusses applications in molecular
diagnostics and drug discovery.

Essays on festive drama - plays, pageantry and traditional
ceremonies - of the European middle ages, with comparative
material. Festive drama, in these studies, includes processions and
folk-customs as well as full-blown plays, from Spain, the
Netherlands, France, Germany, Britain, Denmark, and Bohemia (now
the Czech Republic). The main focus is the middleages, but style
and approach are as relevant as time-scale, reflecting a culture in
which there are no firm divisions between drama and pageantry and
traditional ceremonies. Common themes emerge: the world turned
upside-down of Shrovetide; the emotive power of religious
celebration; and the links between commerce and the demonstration
of civic pride. Festive customs are viewed as hidden agendas of
popular culture, and performances are reconstructed. Thisis the
obverse of art and power: the means by which the people, not the
princes, rule the world. Professor MEG TWYCROSS teaches at the
Department of English at Lancaster University. Contributors: PETER

Aspects of medieval theatre examined for reflection of contemporary
life. The essays in this volume explore ways in which plays and
public spectacles mirrored the beliefs and values of the late
medieval world. Topics covered include seasonal festivals, trade
gilds, stagecraft, and the role played by themunicipal governments
in fostering and controlling dramatic productions. The geographic
range takes in all western Europe, with particular consideration of
the connections between the various medieval European dramatic
traditions. Inter-disciplinary in approach, perspectives range from
the history of theatre to cultural and political history and
literary criticism. There is particular emphasis on the real
advances that can be made in expanding knowledge of medieval
theatre through research in local and regional archives. ALAN E.
KNIGHT is professor emeritus of French at the Pennsylvania State
University. Contributors: ALEXANDRA F. JOHNSTON, LYNETTE R. MUIR,

Men and women believe their mate is going to come prepackaged in
perfection of love. However, this theory is far from the truth. It
takes a conscious effort to build a solid foundation in any
relationship and maintain the true essence of love. Donna Knight,
founder of a nonprofit girl empowerment network, is a passionate
advocate for love. While leading single love seekers on a journey
of self-evaluation and exploration, she utilizes facts, case
studies, Christian and New Age spirituality concepts, and personal
commentary to analyze why and how we love; examine why marriage is
misunderstood; and provide hope that it is possible to create
lasting love within a fulfilling romantic relationship. Through it
all, Knight teaches that we hold the power within ourselves to
create the reality we want, not just in life but also in our
relationships. Unlock the Mystery of Love provides step-by-step
guidance that helps single people attain their relationship goals
and find the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.
