Wraps. Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. iii, [1], 23 pages. Formulae. Figures. Martin Lampe was a plasma physicist at the Naval Research Laboratory for over 40 years, a graduate of Stuyvesant High School and Harvard University, receiving his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. At NRL, he was an award winning scientist, and he was past chairman of the Division of Plasma Physics of the American Physical Society. Selig Kainer received his doctorate in physics from New York University and worked for many years at the Naval Research Laboratory and at NASA. He also served as a research consultant at the University of Maryland. He received his Bachelors of Science from City College where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Selig was a Korean War Veteran. The hydrodynamic processes resulting from 'instantaneous' heating of a cylindrical region of gas are studied by means of numerical integration of the fluid equations. Various initial overpressures and radial profiles of initial pressure are considered. For very smooth radial profiles, e.g., the Bennett profile, the evolution is very simple: the gas expands radially, a single outgoing shock forms, the density at late times undershoots the value at pressure balance by only about 10% and then increases to pressure balance slowly, monotonically, and adiabatically. For profiles that are more square in shape, or are sharply discontinuous, the evolution is much more complicated. A strong rarefaction typically occurs, of brief duration and in a narrow region about the axis. During the rarefaction, both the density and temperature fall well below the values at pressure balance. The rarefaction is abruptly terminated by an inward-propagating shock, followed by multiple density oscillations, which can form shocks for strong overpressures.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A novel based on the lives of the brothers Mann has allowed the author to portray both the powerful story of their personal drama and the tragedy of a horrific era. Two of Germany's literary lions, Thomas and Heinrich Mann, are the central characters of Selig Kainer's novel, Brothers in Exile. Their rivalry is set against the background of Hitler's rise to power, and the novel opens in 1932 as Hitler becomes Chancellor. In real danger from the Nazi, Heinrich has already fled, while Thomas briefly nurtures the hope that his stature as a Noble Prize winner could be a balancing force against Hitler. The novel then takes the reader back to the powerful sturm und drang of Thomas and Heinrich's outwardly comfortable early family life. Their story is rife with love, rivalry, artistic strivings, and forbidden longings. With his deep affinity for the work of these two great writers, Selig Kainer has written an intimate account of them that reveals their rivalry and innermost conflicts, and illuminates the foreboding landscape of the demonic forces unleashed in Germany during their time. 'It is a wonderful novel. One need not be a reader of either Mann brother to appreciate Brothers in Exile, for here the curious interplay between life and literature, between imagination and reality, is played out to the full.' ¿Jeffery Paine, former Literary Editor of the Wilson Quarterly, a judge of the Pulitzer Prize, author of Father India, Adventures with the Buddha, and Editor of Re-enchantment: Tibetan Buddhism comes to the West. 'Thomas and Heinrich Mann grew up in Germany, portrayed Germany, then finally fled Germany, ending their lives in American and Swiss exile. Now, Selig Kainer has explored their early lives, not as an historian or biographer, but as a creative novelist, using the bones of their youth to X-ray their evolution as sons of imperial Germany, as nascent artists, and as siblings. Kainer's intricate fictional journey is a Bildungsroman at once tender, profound, epic and original. Enjoy!' ¿Nigel Hamilton, author of JFK: Reckless Youth and The Brothers Mann. 'Selig Kainer dives into the complex relationship between Thomas and Heinrich Mann and comes back up with a pearl of a book. He transports us into the imagined landscape of their inner lives, their rivalries, discontents, desires and dreams. The vivid detail he brings to his story is gripping; his obsession with his characters thoroughly contagious.' ¿Andrea Weiss, author of In the Shadow of Magic Mountain: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story.
