Chapter I. General Principles of Magneto-Fluid Dynamics

Parallel computational magneto-fluid dynamics

In a Priority Program on Massively Parallel Computing, eight Dutch research groups (http://www.phys.uu.nl/~mpr/) cooperate since 1995 to develop new algorithms and software to simulate the non-linear dynamics of thermonuclear, geo-physical, and astrophysical plasmas. As one result of this collaboration, the general-purpose Versatile Advection Codemonstrated excellent scaling properties across a...

ISLAMIC MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE PART I: GENERAL ASPEC TS AND PRINCIPLES

Islamic medical jurisprudence, which is the subjectconcemed with the application of Islamic laws to the area of medicine, has never been discussed as an independent field of jurisprudence, although several selected topics, especially those concerning food and beverages, sexuality, death, wounds and injuries, and doctor-patient relations have been more discussed than others. The results of a...

Chapter 2: General principles in the management of glomerular disease

There are a number of general principles in the management of glomerular injury which apply to most or all of the histologic variants of GN covered by this guideline. In this chapter, we discuss these general principles to minimize repetition in the guideline. Where there are specific applications or exceptions to these general statements, an expansion and rationale for these variations and/or ...

General Principles of Brane Kinematics and Dynamics

We consider branes as “points” in an infinite dimensional brane space M with a prescribed metric. Branes move along the geodesics of M. For a particular choice of metric the equations of motion are equivalent to the well known equations of the Dirac-Nambu-Goto branes (including strings). Such theory describes “free fall” in M-space. In the next step the metric of M-space is given the dynamical ...
