  • 1 Curl and Divergence
    Sections 15.5-15.8: Divergence, Curl, Surface Integrals, Stokes' and Divergence Theorems Reeve Garrett 1 Curl and Divergence Definition 1.1 Let F = hf; g; hi be a differentiable vector field defined on a region D of R3. Then, the divergence of F on D is @ @ @ div F := r · F = ; ; · hf; g; hi = f + g + h ; @x @y @z x y z @ @ @ where r = h @x ; @y ; @z i is the del operator. If div F = 0, we say that F is source free. Note that these definitions (divergence and source free) completely agrees with their 2D analogues in 15.4. Theorem 1.2 Suppose that F is a radial vector field, i.e. if r = hx; y; zi, then for some real number p, r hx;y;zi 3−p F = jrjp = (x2+y2+z2)p=2 , then div F = jrjp . Theorem 1.3 Let F = hf; g; hi be a differentiable vector field defined on a region D of R3. Then, the curl of F on D is curl F := r × F = hhy − gz; fz − hx; gx − fyi: If curl F = 0, then we say F is irrotational. Note that gx − fy is the 2D curl as defined in section 15.4. Therefore, if we fix a point (a; b; c), [gx − fy](a; b; c), measures the rotation of F at the point (a; b; c) in the plane z = c. Similarly, [hy − gz](a; b; c) measures the rotation of F in the plane x = a at (a; b; c), and [fz − hx](a; b; c) measures the rotation of F in the plane y = b at the point (a; b; c).

[email protected] www.caerphilly.gov.uk/equalities How to type Accented Characters This guidance document has been produced to provide practical help when typing letters or circulars, or when designing posters or flyers so that getting accents on various letters when typing is made easier. The guide should be used alongside the Council’s Guidance on Equalities in Designing and Printing. Please note this is for PCs only and will not work on Macs. Firstly, on your keyboard make sure the Num Lock is switched on, or the codes shown in this document won’t work (this button is found above the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard). By pressing the ALT key (to the left of the space bar), holding it down and then entering a certain sequence of numbers on the numeric keypad, it's very easy to get almost any accented character you want. For example, to get the letter “ô”, press and hold the ALT key, type in the code 0 2 4 4, then release the ALT key. The number sequences shown from page 3 onwards work in most fonts in order to get an accent over “a, e, i, o, u”, the vowels in the English alphabet. In other languages, for example in French, the letter "c" can be accented and in Spanish, "n" can be accented too. Many other languages have accents on consonants as well as vowels.

  • Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1
    ARTICLES Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine 8 Mečislav BORÁK at the Time of the Great Purge Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1 prof. Mečislav BORÁK Abstract In its introduction, the study recalls the course of Czech emigration to Ukraine and the formation of the local Czech minority from the mid-19th century until the end of 1930s. Afterwards, it depicts the course of political persecution of the Czechs from the civil war to the mid-1930s and mentions the changes in Soviet national policy. It characterizes the course of the Great Purge in the years 1937–1938 on a national scale and its particularities in Ukraine, describes the genesis of the repressive mechanisms and their activities. In this context, it is focused on the NKVD’s national operations and the repression of the Czechs assigned to the Polish NKVD operation in the early spring of 1938. It analyses the illegal executions of more than 660 victims, which was roughly half of all Czechs and Czechoslovak citizens executed for political reasons in the former Soviet Union, both from time and territorial point of view, including the national or social-professional structure of the executed, roughly compared to Moscow. The general conclusions are illustrated on examples of repressive actions and their victims from the Kiev region, especially from Kiev, and Mykolajivka community, not far from the centre of the Vinnycko area, the most famous centre of Czech colonization in eastern Podolia. In detail, it analyses the most repressive action against the Czechs in Ukraine which took place in Zhytomyr where on 28 September 1938, eighty alleged conspirators were shot dead, including seventy-eight Czechs.

References 17 1 Generation Panel for Latin Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone 1. General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.
