Liberator Bomber

2017 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

United States Army Air Corps Lieutenant Eugene T. Winn wrote home to his father regularly, from before his enlistment in May 1942 until his discharge in September 1945. This correspondence is the core of the book. Documents and photographs give a definitive sense of place and immediacy to the story. And in the telling, the reader can learn much of war and its lasting effects on persons, family, community.It is a compelling story laced with suspense and drama. Lt. Winn did not want to be in the Army, and like many young men of his day saw aviation as preferable. The airplane was going to revolutionize war making. Eugene wanted to be part of that revolution. And so he was, in a four-engine bomber, a B-24 "Liberator," stationed in Bugay, England. In early June 1944, Winn's wife was notified that her husband was "missing in action." Frantic attempts to find out what had happened on 25 May 1944 had to wait the liberation of Paris for answers. No fairy tale this, still a happy ending, but with scars and lessons for a lifetime. The story indeed is compelling, more compelling than any fairy tale might ever be.

Potential Theory in the Complex Plane

2017 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

Ransford provides an introduction to the subject, concentrating on the important case of two dimensions, and emphasizing its links with complex analysis. This is reflected in the large number of applications, which include Picard's theorem, the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle, the Radó-Stout theorem, Lindelöf's theory of asymptotic values, the Riemann mapping theorem (including continuity at the boundary), the Koebe one-quarter theorem, Hilbert's lemniscate theorem, and the sharp quantitative form of Runge's theorem. In addition, there is a chapter on connections with functional analysis and dynamical systems, which shows how the theory can be applied to other parts of mathematics and gives a flavor of some recent research in the area.

Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Northeastern Iran

2017 · Book · Koleksi Perpustakaan

Golestan Province in northern Iran is a very high-incidence area for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), while tobacco and alcohol use, the major risk factors of OSCC in the Western countries, are not common habits there. As an attempt to indentify the risk factors of OSCC in Golestan, the following studies were conducted in the context of this thesis: a meta-analysis on Helicobacter pylori and risk of OSCC; a cross-sectional study on patterns of food and nutrient intake among 131 healthy individuals; a case-control study with 300 cases/571 controls on the association of socioeconomic status and tea drinking habits with OSCC; a cross-sectional study on patterns of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among 110 healthy individuals. -- In the meta-analysis, there was no significant association between H. pylori and risk of OSCC, but there was substantial heterogeneity among studies. A large proportion of Golestan inhabitants drink hot tea. Our results showed a two-fold and 8-fold increase in risk of OSCC associated with drinking hot and very hot tea, respectively. Several indicators of SES, including formal education, being married, and high wealth were inversely associated with risk of OSCC. We found severe nutrient deficiencies among rural dwellers and women and a high exposure of the general population to PAHs in Golestan. Only kerosene and gas were used for heating, which was not associated with exposure to PAHs. Red meat intake, passive smoking, and certain genetic polymorphisms showed associations with PAH metabolites in urine. Meat frying intensity had significant associations with bulky DNA adduct levels. -- Interactions among several factors, e.g. hot tea drinking and intra-luminal PAHs, with the background of poor socioeconomic status and deficient nutrient intake, may be responsible for the high incidence of OSCC in Golestan.
