Umph" seeks to develop the story writing skills of emerging and weak writers. It is a guide, workbook and journal combined. The author developed the box-paragraphing strategy to support weak writers and their teachers. Umph offers a structured approach to story writing. The author uses "box-paragraphing" with Blackboard Configuration, mini workshops and reflective journaling. She coaches instructors as they use this new approach to teaching narrative writing.

It has become clear in recent years that finding real chaotic behaviour in the sense of phenomena that persist in time does not exist for quantum systems. But still the question persists as what are the quantum manifestations of classical chaos, or rather how does a quantum system behave whose classical counterpart is chaotic. These proceedings discuss different contemporary aspects of this problem, experimental as well as theoretical.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of intensity dependent particle beam instabilities in accelerating rings. Written for researchers, the material is also suitable for use as a textbook in an advanced graduate course for students studying accelerator physics.The presentation starts with a brief review of the basic concept of wake potentials and coupling impedances in the vacuum chamber followed by a discussion on static and dynamic solutions of their effects on the particle beams. Special emphasis is placed separately on proton and electron machines. Other special topics of interest covered include Landau damping, Balakin-Novokhatsky-Smirnov damping, Sacherer's integral equations, Landau cavity, saw-tooth instability, Robinson stability criteria, beam loading, transition crossing, two-stream instabilities, and collective instability issues of isochronous rings. After the formulation of an instability, readers are provided a thorough description of one or more experimental observations together with a discussion of the cures for the instability.Although the book is theory oriented, the use of mathematics has been minimized. The presentation is intended to be rigorous and self-contained with nearly all the formulas and equations derived.
