In this volume, designed for computational scientists and engineers working on applications requiring the memories and processing rates of large-scale parallelism, leading algorithmicists survey their own field-defining contributions, together with enough historical and bibliographical perspective to permit working one's way to the frontiers. This book is distinguished from earlier surveys in parallel numerical algorithms by its extension of coverage beyond core linear algebraic methods into tools more directly associated with partial differential and integral equations - though still with an appealing generality - and by its focus on practical medium-granularity parallelism, approachable through traditional programming languages. Several of the authors used their invitation to participate as a chance to stand back and create a unified overview, which nonspecialists will appreciate.

In this volume, designed for engineers and scientists working in the area of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), experts offer assessments of the capabilities of CFD, highlight some fundamental issues and barriers, and propose novel approaches to overcome these problems. They also offer new avenues for research in traditional and non-traditional disciplines. The scope of the papers ranges from the scholarly to the practical. This book is distinguished from earlier surveys by its emphasis on the problems facing CFD and by its focus on non-traditional applications of CFD techniques. There have been several significant developments in CFD since the last workshop held in 1990 and this book brings together the key developments in a single unified volume.

Rural entrepreneurship in developing countries is facing a number of challenges such as limited access to capital, market, entrepreneurship skills and technology. Understanding the importance of assessing donors projects and to ascertain their contribution on rural entrepreneurship, this study examined the USAID funded Living Project implemented by CARE International in Tanzania, Morogoro region from January 2007 to December 2009. The objective was to assess the projects' contribution towards the development of sustainable rural entrepreneurship, using both primary and secondary data. Survey methods were applied to collect primary data using questionnaires, in addition to interviews and focus group discussions.
