Many Americans are familiar with Thomas Edison's "invention
factory" in Menlo Park, where he patented the phonograph, the light
bulb and more than one thousand other items. Yet many other ideas
have grown in the Garden State, too--New Jerseyans brought sound
and music to movies and built the very first drive-in theater. In
addition to the first cultivated blueberry, tasty treats like ice
cream cones and M&Ms are also Jersey natives. Iconic aspects of
American life, like the batting cage, catcher's mask and even
professional baseball itself, started in New Jersey. Life would be
a lot harder without the vacuum cleaner, plastic and Band-Aids, and
many important advances in medicine and surgery were also developed
here. Join author Linda Barth as she explores groundbreaking,
useful, fun and even silly inventions and their New Jersey roots.
This book considers recent developments in numerical error estimation and adaptive discretization for finite element and finite volume methods with particular attention given to discretization methods used frequently in computational fluid dynamics. The volume consists of six detailed articles by leading specialists covering a range of topics including a posteriori error estimation of functionals, one- and two-sided error bounds, error indicators for ad aptivity, and nd geometrical aspects of adaptive mesh refinement. This book should be of interest to readers actively working in the field as well as readers seeking a comprehensive introduction to the topic.
The original edition of this book studied the nature of symbol in
Coleridge’s work, showing that it is central to Coleridge’s
intellectual endeavor in poetry and criticism as well as in
philosophy and theology. Symbol was for Coleridge essentially a
religious reality, that participates in the nature of a sacrament
as an encounter between material and spiritual reality. The author
shows how Wordsworth and Coleridge developed a poetry, unlike that
of the eighteenth century, based on symbolic imagination. He then
related this symbolic poetry to the tradition of romanticism itself
Richard Harter Fogle wrote of the original edition: “This is a
just, graceful, and penetrating book. Considering the complexity of
the material, it is lucid and often eloquent. Father Barth’s
interpretation of Coleridge’s doctrine of symbol is essentially
original, as are his illustrative readings from the poems. His
substantial essay moves harmoniously from Coleridge's particular
insights to their wider implications for romanticism.” In this
new edition, the author has enlarged the scope of his study, first
reviewing in an introductory chapter the important scholarship of
the past twenty years on symbol and imagination. He then goes on to
give his work a deeper theological foundation, and to extend his
argument to embrace what he calls Coleridge’s “scriptural
imagination.” As in the original edition, he concludes that
symbol is a phenomenon profoundly linked with the experience of
romanticism itself and with a fundamental change in religious
sensibility that has echoes even in our own time.
The development of high-order accurate numerical discretization
techniques for irregular domains and meshes is often cited as one
of the remaining chal lenges facing the field of computational
fluid dynamics. In structural me chanics, the advantages of
high-order finite element approximation are widely recognized. This
is especially true when high-order element approximation is
combined with element refinement (h-p refinement). In computational
fluid dynamics, high-order discretization methods are infrequently
used in the com putation of compressible fluid flow. The hyperbolic
nature of the governing equations and the presence of solution
discontinuities makes high-order ac curacy difficult to achieve.
Consequently, second-order accurate methods are still predominately
used in industrial applications even though evidence sug gests that
high-order methods may offer a way to significantly improve the
resolution and accuracy for these calculations. To address this
important topic, a special course was jointly organized by the
Applied Vehicle Technology Panel of NATO's Research and Technology
Organization (RTO), the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics,
and the Numerical Aerospace Simulation Division at the NASA Ames
Research Cen ter. The NATO RTO sponsored course entitled "Higher
Order Discretization Methods in Computational Fluid Dynamics" was
held September 14-18,1998 at the von Karman Institute for Fluid
Dynamics in Belgium and September 21-25,1998 at the NASA Ames
Research Center in the United States."
As computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is applied to ever more
demanding fluid flow problems, the ability to compute numerical
fluid flow solutions to a user specified tolerance as well as the
ability to quantify the accuracy of an existing numerical solution
are seen as essential ingredients in robust numerical simulation.
Although the task of accurate error estimation for the nonlinear
equations of CFD seems a daunting problem, considerable effort has
centered on this challenge in recent years with notable progress
being made by the use of advanced error estimation techniques and
adaptive discretization methods. To address this important topic, a
special course wasjointly organized by the NATO Research and
Technology Office (RTO), the von Karman Insti tute for Fluid
Dynamics, and the NASA Ames Research Center. The NATO RTO sponsored
course entitled "Error Estimation and Solution Adaptive
Discretization in CFD" was held September 10-14, 2002 at the NASA
Ames Research Center and October 15-19, 2002 at the von Karman
Institute in Belgium. During the special course, a series of
comprehensive lectures by leading experts discussed recent advances
and technical progress in the area of numerical error estimation
and adaptive discretization methods with spe cific emphasis on
computational fluid dynamics. The lecture notes provided in this
volume are derived from the special course material. The volume con
sists of 6 articles prepared by the special course lecturers."
Long established as a major poet and critic of the Romantic era,
Samuel Taylor Coleridge is now becoming recognized as one of the
first and most original modern religious thinkers. In 1815 he wrote
the Biographia Literaria, and from that time on there was in his
writings a noticeable shift to nonliterary subjects, especially
religion. Using all available sources in the U.S., Canada, and
England, J. Robert Barth, S.J., has found Coleridge's religious
speculations in his notebooks, in such works as Aids to Reflection
and Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit, in letters, in the
unpublished manuscript of his "Opus Maximum," in marginalia, and in
conversations recorded by his nephew in Table Talk. Father Barth
has synthesized these theological ideas and shaped Coleridge's
scattered and constantly developing religious thoughts into a
coherent pattern.
Many computionally challenging problems omnipresent in science and engineering exhibit multiscale phenomena so that the task of computing or even representing all scales of action is computationally very expensive unless the multiscale nature of these problems is exploited in a fundamental way. Some diverse examples of practical interest include the computation of fluid turbulence, structural analysis of composite materials, terabyte data mining, image processing, and a multitude of others. This book consists of both invited and contributed articles which address many facets of efficient multiscale representation and scientific computation from varied viewpoints such as hierarchical data representations, multilevel algorithms, algebraic homogeni- zation, and others. This book should be of particular interest to readers interested in recent and emerging trends in multiscale and multiresolution computation with application to a wide range of practical problems.

The mortgage meltdown: what went wrong and how do we fix it?
Owning a home can bestow a sense of security and independence.
But today, in a cruel twist, many Americans now regard their homes
as a source of worry and dashed expectations. How did everything go
haywire? And what can we do about it now?
In "The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Mortgage and Credit Markets, "
renowned finance expert James Barth offers a comprehensive
examination of the mortgage meltdown. Together with a team of
economists at the Milken Institute, he explores the shock waves
that have rippled through the entire financial sector and the real
economy. Deploying an incredibly detailed and extensive set of
data, the book offers in-depth analysis of the mortgage meltdown
and the resulting worldwide financial crisis. This authoritative
volume explores what went wrong in every critical area, including
securitization, loan origination practices, regulation and
supervision, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, leverage and accounting
practices, and of course, the rating agencies. The authors explain
the steps the government has taken to address the crisis thus far,
arguing that we have yet to address the larger issues.Offers a
comprehensive examination of the mortgage market meltdown and its
reverberations throughout the financial sector and the real
economyExplores several important issues that policymakers must
address in any future reshaping of financial market
regulationsAddresses how we can begin to move forward and prevent
similar crises from shaking the foundations of our financial
system
"The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Mortgage and Credit Markets"
analyzes the factors that should drive reform and explores the
issues that policymakers must confront in any future reshaping of
financial market regulations.
It has often been suggested that Romanticism of its very nature has
affinities with religious quest and spiritual value. These new
essays, written in honor of distinguished eighteenth-century and
Romantic scholar John L. Mahoney, explore the intersection of
Romanticism and religion. They range from broad considerations of
this relationship in several Romantic writers to close readings of
individual poems. The collection breaks new ground in the
exploration of the role of religion in the Romantics experience and
will be of interest not only to scholars of Romanticism and
historians of nineteenth-century religion, but to anyone interested
in the intellectual life of the nineteenth-century England.
