Searching the Trans-Neptunian Region
The Edgeworth-Kuiper-Belt is considered to be the remnant of the formation disk of the planetary system around the Sun. For about 8 years the...

5. Simulation of Active and Nonlinear Photonic Nano-Materials in the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Framework
A numerical method is presented that unites three-dimensional finite-differnce time-domain (FDTD) computer simulations of active, nonlinear photonic...

Course 15: Observations of the High Energy $\gamma$ -Ray Universe
This article describes the nature and current status of observational programs studying astrophysical high energy...
-
Course 1: Accretion and Ejection-Related MHD
This lecture is an introduction to MHD. Relevant equations, both in the classical and special-relativistic regimes are derived. The magnetic field...
-
Course 7: Cosmic Rays and Particle Acceleration at Astrophysical Shocks
The acceleration of particles in the vicinity of astrophysical shocks has become the main paradigm in astrophysics for the production of cosmic rays...
-
Course 12: Evolution of YSO Disks
As stars and planets form from accretion processes in disks, it is important to understand these processes and their evolutionary implications. While...
-
Course 11: Accretion Signatures in Young Stellar Objects
Mass accretion onto the star is taken place in young stellar objects, providing the energy needed to power the excess emission observed at all...
-
Course 8: The Black Hole Environments
Compact objects are astrophysical entities with radii smaller than about 10 Schwarzschild radii. The mass spectrum of these objects ranges from the...

13. Parallel Implementation Strategiesfor Algorithms from Scientific Computing
Many applications from scientific computing are computationally intensive and can therefore benefit from a realization on a parallel or a distributed...

Course 13: X-Rays from YSOS: Desperately Seeking the Central Engine
The earliest stages of the evolution of low-mass stars are characterized by the presence of powerful jets, likely originating from accretion via...
-
Course 6: Gamma-Ray Bursts
This lecture is an introduction to the study of gamma-ray bursts. Observations of the burst and its afterglow are first reviewed, with the...
-
Course 9: Accretion around Active Galactic Nuclei
In bright AGN, at distances of several Schwarzschild radii, the accretion onto a black hole proceeds predominantly in a form of a cool accretion...

4 Abelian Gauge Fixing
The formation of monopoles and their condensation in the QCD ground state is a feature which is related to abelian gauge fixing, discussed in this...

13 Dynamic, One-Dimensional and Miscellaneous Problems
The previous part of this monograph makes it clear that the branch of the Mathematical Theory of Contact Mechanics, which deals with quasistatic...
-
6 Mathematical Preliminaries
Part II provides mathematical formulations of the models, the assumptions that underlie them, their weak or variational formulations and the...

11 Contact with Wear or Adhesion
In this chapter we present results on models of frictional contact when the wear of the contacting surfaces is taken into account. The importance of...
-
3 Additional E.ects Involved in Contact
More is involved in contact than just friction, although it is the main process. Indeed, during a contact process elastic or plastic deformations of...

Appendix B: The Relation between Minkowski and Euclidean Actions
The Minkowski action leads to canonical quantization and it is used to calculate matrix elements of the evolution operator e...

5 The Confinement of SU(3) Color Charges
If we wish to describe color confinement in terms of the Meissner effect of a dual superconductor, we need to adapt the Landau-Ginzburg model to the...

Appendix D. Color Charges of Quarks and Gluons
In $SU\left( 2\right) $ , the charge operator is:...
