Millisecond pulsars in tight binaries have recently challenged our understanding of physical processes governing the evolution and interaction between astrophysical plasma electromagnetic fields. Transitional systems that showed changes from rotation-powered to accretion-powered states vice versa bridged populations radio accreting millisecond pulsars, eventually demonstrating evolutionary link...

Gas flows in the transitional regime between continuum and free-molecular flow are widely present in nature and can be often encountered in various practical applications. Noticeable attention has been recently paid to modeling that sort of flows owing to intensive development of microand nanotechnologies and design of miniature technical devices. The Navier-Stokes equations, even with the velo...
