The special volume offers a global guide to new concepts and approaches concerning the following topics: reduced basis methods, proper orthogonal decomposition, proper generalized decomposition, approximation theory related to model reduction, learning theory and compressed sensing, stochastic and high-dimensional problems, system-theoretic methods, nonlinear model reduction, reduction of coupled problems/multiphysics, optimization and optimal control, state estimation and control, reduced order models and domain decomposition methods, Krylov-subspace and interpolatory methods, and applications to real industrial and complex problems. The book represents the state of the art in the development of reduced order methods. It contains contributions from internationally respected experts, guaranteeing a wide range of expertise and topics. Further, it reflects an important effor t, carried out over the last 12 years, to build a growing research community in this field. Though not a textbook, some of the chapters can be used as reference materials or lecture notes for classes and tutorials (doctoral schools, master classes).

In March 2012 the author suffered the first of a series of strokes that devastated her life and the lives of her family and friends. A British woman living in post-economic collapse Greece, she not only lost movement and speech, but she felt ebbing away her imagination and the use of words, words that she has always loved. Stroke Journeys follows, in an emotional blend of recollection and poetry, the battle to regain all those functions over three hard years. The book is testimony to her struggle against overwhelming odds, and its completion is a proud beacon of her determination and success in that battle. All profits from sales of this book will be donated to charities working with stroke victims.

From surviving to thriving The author and his wife went through an unimaginable 5 months of a harrowing search of a cure for the extreme chemical and EMF sensitivity that developed almost overnight after she had been managing Multiple Chemical Sensitivity fairly well for about two years. She needed to be completely housebound for about 4 months to avoid any exposure to chemicals or EMF. This journey entailed a truly no-stone-unturned, all-out effort of finding and wholeheartedly trying almost 40 different healing methods/modalities and treatments. Some were used to manage the devastating physical, mental, and emotional symptoms, but most were in an attempt to find what was ultimately the correct blend, or 'recipe' of treatments. Once this right blend was finally found they did bring about a complete and lasting healing/cure for her. The end result is that she went from being confined to her home in to back at work at her office full-time with no chemical or EMF sensitivities 6 months later with no restrictions or limitations needed. She participates fully in every activity of normal life and has not had any recurrence for 22 months now. Based on this dramatic experience and successful outcome, the husband shares what they found to be most effective and critical components of that 'recipe' - and lists exactly what they would do with the knowledge they have gained if they were just now being faced with these devastating afflictions. The exact steps they would take are listed as the Essentials and Essentials on a Tight Budget, and they all can be done from home if need be. Alternatives are discussed as a primary treatment should that resource not be available as an option. Additional treatment options are examined and 'rated ' by the author. This book also shares the knowledge and their first-hand experience with numerous and some quite powerful modalities and techniques that can be used as an addition to the 'essentials', many of which are free or almost free. The author and his wife hope others with these afflictions might benefit from what they learned from their intense journey, and perhaps find real hope and an optional path to complete healing.

Adapting techniques for making molas, Patera has developed a cut-as-you-go method for reverse applique. In this book she combines it with the Schoolhouse pattern, which quilters can use to create easy but impressive quilts.

This practical treatise is an introduction to the mathematics and physics of affine Kac-Moody algebras. It is the result of an unusual interdisciplinary effort by two physicists and two mathematicians to make this field understandable to a broad readership and to illuminate the connections among seemingly disparate domains of mathematics and physics that are tantalizingly suggested by the ubiquity of Lie theory. The book will be useful to Lie algebraists, high energy physicists, statistical mechanics, and number theorists. Volume One contains a description of Kac-Moody Lie algebras, and especially the affine algebras and their representations; the results of extensive computations follow in Volume Two, which is spiral bound for easy reference.
