Fast Reactions in Energetic Materials: High Temperature Decomposition of Rocket Propellants And Explosives (repost)

This book focuses on the intersection of place and overall community health thereby focusing on some of the most critical contemporary social problems, including the opioid crisis, suicide, socioeconomic status and ethnicity, mental illness, crime, homelessness, green criminology, and social and environmental justice. Scholars from a variety of disciplines, including geography, sociology, criminology, mental health, social work, and behavioural sciences discuss the importance of geography in our quality of life. Each chapter introduces the reader to an overview of the topic, presents theoretical frameworks and the most recent empirical evidence, and discusses real world policy implications. As such this book is a key resource for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners working in the field.

This research monograph develops the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) theory through dynamic programming principle for a class of optimal control problems for stochastic hereditary differential systems. It is driven by a standard Brownian motion and with a bounded memory or an infinite but fading memory.

Angelo Secchi was a key figure in 19th century science. An Italian Jesuit and scientist, he helped lead the transition from astronomy to astrophysics and left a lasting legacy in the field. Secchi’s spectral classification of stars was a milestone that paved the way for modern astronomical research. He was also a founder of modern meteorology and an innovator in the design and development of new instruments and methods across disciplines.

The goal of this Handbook is to become an authoritative source with chapters that show the origins, unification, and points of similarity between different disciplines and mathematics. Some chapters will also show bifurcations and the development of disciplines which grow to take on a life of their own. Science and Art are used as umbrella terms to encompass the physical, natural and geological sciences, as well as the visual and performing arts.

Gospel music/ Spiritual Music is composed and performed for many purposes, including religious, ceremonial or indeed the sheer revelry of the ‘power’ of the Lord!…. Unabashed dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony and Christian lyrics) can be traced to the early 17th century ( it was a way of enduring the hardships of Slavery ) with roots in the black oral tradition, these hymns and sacred songs were often repeated in a call and response fashion. Most of the churches relied on hand clapping and foot stomping as rhythmic accompaniment. These driving tribal like rhythms were nothing less than the start of Rock ’n’ Roll….. A young Elvis Presley used to attend the black congregations because he knew at that early age where the real spirit was and the great Martin Luther King in his final ever public speaking referred with great passion to the old ‘negro spirituals’.
