The 186th IAU Symposium came at an exciting and perhaps even historic time for extragalactic astronomy. New spacecraft observations plumbed the depths of the Universe out to redshifts of five, while revealing astounding details of nearby galaxies and AGN at intermediate redshifts. Theoretical ideas on structure formation, together with results from detailed numerical modeling, created a comprehensive framework for modeling the formation of galaxies and the transformation of galaxies by interactions and mergers. All these strands came together at the Symposium, as participants glimpsed a developing synthesis highlighting galactic encounters and their role in the history of the Universe. This volume offers professional astronomers, including PhD students, an overview of the rapidly advancing subject of galaxy interactions at low and high redshifts.

The Rust programming language is extremely well suited for concurrency, and its ecosystem has many libraries that include lots of concurrent data structures, locks, and more. But implementing those structures correctly can be very difficult. Even in the most well-used libraries, memory ordering bugs are not uncommon.

Ricci Solitons in Low Dimensions


Free Download Bennett Chow, "Ricci Solitons in Low Dimensions"
English | ISBN: 1470475235 | 2023 | 339 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Ricci flow is an exciting subject of mathematics with diverse applications in geometry, topology, and other fields. It employs a heat-type equation to smooth an initial Riemannian metric on a manifold. The formation of singularities in the manifold’s topology and geometry is a desirable outcome. Upon closer examination, these singularities often reveal intriguing structures known as Ricci solitons. This introductory book focuses on Ricci solitons, shedding light on their role in understanding singularity formation in Ricci flow and formulating surgery-based Ricci flow, which holds potential applications in topology. Notably successful in dimension 3, the book narrows its scope to low dimensions: 2 and 3, where the theory of Ricci solitons is well established. A comprehensive discussion of this theory is provided, while also establishing the groundwork for exploring Ricci solitons in higher dimensions. A particularly exciting area of study involves the potential applications of Ricci flow in comprehending the topology of 4-dimensional smooth manifolds. Geared towards graduate students who have completed a one-semester course on Riemannian geometry, this book serves as an ideal resource for related courses or seminars centered on Ricci solitons.

Mobile Communication and Low-Skilled Migrants’ Acculturation to Cosmopolitan Singapore


Free Download Rajiv George Aricat, "Mobile Communication and Low-Skilled Migrants’ Acculturation to Cosmopolitan Singapore"
English | ISBN: 1498552501 | 2018 | 242 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Mobile Communication and Low-Skilled Migrants’ Acculturation to Cosmopolitan Singapore examines the role of mobile communication in the acculturation of South Asian labor migrants to Singapore, adopting a mobile phone appropriation model and following a pluralistic-typological approach. While presenting data from a questionnaire survey and interviews with low-skilled migrants from Bangladesh and India in Singapore, it explores how their specific social conditions, including their transient status and low entitlements in their host country, influenced their mobile phone appropriation. It considers the links these migrants established and retained with their countries of origin and residence to identify several types of appropriation and acculturation types among the various populations.

Low-Loss Storage and Handling of Cryogenic Liquids The Application of Cryogenic Fluid Dynamics, Second Edition (2024)


Free Download Low-Loss Storage and Handling of Cryogenic Liquids: The Application of Cryogenic Fluid Dynamics, Second Edition by Thomas D. Bostock , Ralph G. Scurlock
English | EPUB (True) | 2019 | 170 Pages | ISBN : 3030106403 | 8.3 MB
The revised second edition of this practical book reviews the fundamentals of cryogenic liquid behaviour in small and large scale storage systems. The text is based on research findings on the convective and evaporative behaviour of cryogenic fluids, aimed at improving the design, construction and operation of low-loss cryogenic liquid storage systems, with a view to minimising cost and improving operational safety.

Rolling Back Revolution The Emergence of Low Intensity Conflict


Free Download Ivan Molloy, "Rolling Back Revolution: The Emergence of Low Intensity Conflict"
English | 2001 | pages: 237 | ISBN: 0745317065, 0745317073 | PDF | 1,7 mb
Ivan Molloy analyses the de facto foreign policy strategy of low intensity conflict (LIC) as propagated by the United States. He recounts how LIC emerged during the Reagan Administration as a way of counteracting the legacy left by the Vietnam War, which constrained America from getting involved in direct military intervention. Part covert, part overt, LIC was developed as a low-cost and low-risk method of dealing with revolutionary movements and post-revolutionary governments (usually Marxist) considered threatening to national interests. As such, this secretive strategy was an integral component of the Iran-Contra affair, and at the heart of the Reagan Doctrine. Molloy argues that LIC was a means of civilianising and privatising America’s foreign policy. He reveals that LIC was always more of a political, rather than military, tool. The United States used LIC selectively in the 1980s to combat guerrilla movements and undermine targeted regimes to achieve its foreign policy objectives. The author uses Nicaragua and the Philippines as major case studies to analyse the profile of this multi-dimensional strategy as it emerged in the 1980s. He also demonstrates – using such examples as Cuba, Yugoslavia and East Timor – that this complex strategy is still evident today and even pursued by other states.

Prozesse in Industriebetrieben mittels Low-Code-Software digitalisieren Ein Praxisleitfaden


Free Download Prozesse in Industriebetrieben mittels Low-Code-Software digitalisieren: Ein Praxisleitfaden
Deutsch | 2023 | ISBN: 3662679493 | 130 Seiten | PDF (True) | 2 MB
In vielen Unternehmen besteht ein steigender Bedarf an betriebsspezifisch gestalteten Softwareanwendungen, um Geschäftsprozesse zu digitalisieren und zu optimieren. Derzeit sind vor allem IT-Fachkräfte gefordert, diese Anwendungen zu entwickeln. Da in Betrieben vielfach ein Mangel an IT-Fachkräften besteht, ist diese Vorgehensweise zumeist mit langen Bereitstellungszeiten verbunden. Durch die Nutzung der Low-Code-Programmierung ist es hingegen möglich, Softwareanwendungen ohne tiefe Programmierkenntnisse mittels einer grafischen Benutzeroberfläche zu erstellen. Der Vorteil: Es können passgenaue Lösungen in kurzer Zeit entwickelt werden, indem sich Beschäftigte aus Fachabteilungen mit ihrem Expertenwissen direkt an der Softwareentwicklung beteiligen. Allerdings fehlt es in vielen Betrieben an Wissen zu den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und -grenzen dieser Art der Programmierung. Zudem ist es derzeit für potenzielle Anwender oftmals unklar, wie eine anforderungsgerechte Low-Code-Plattform ausgewählt und eingeführt werden kann. In diesem Buch werden daher die Herausforderungen bei der Einführung von Low-Code-Plattformen erörtert und umfangreiche Gestaltungsempfehlungen vermittelt, damit es Betrieben gelingt, die wirtschaftlichen Potenziale der Low-Code-Programmierung zu nutzen.
