### Amazon.com Review If all that Tom Rob Smith had done was to re-create Stalinist Russia, with all its double-speak hypocrisy, he would have written a worthwhile novel. He did so much more than that in _Child 44_ , a frightening, chilling, almost unbelievable horror story about the very worst tha

### Product Description Former Soviet Secret Service agent Leo Demidov has built himself a new life as a civilian with his wife Raisa, and their two teenage daughters, Elena and Zoya. The Soviet Union is a country trying to reassert itself after the murderous excesses of Stalin and the chaos of the

For each positive integer n, let the set of all 2-colorings of the interval [1, n]= [1, 2, ..., n] be given the uniform probability distribution, that is, each of the 2 n colorings is assigned probability 2 &n . Let f be any function such that f (k)Âlog k Ä as k Ä . For convenience we assume that f

It is demonstrated that a unitgraph can be obtained without using rainfall data, provided data from at least two runoff events are available. A numerical method has been devised which calculates this common unitgraph for a set of surface runoff events and at the same time determines the input (rainf

Common unitgraphs obtained from streamflow data for a set of runoff events have higher peaks, shorter times to peak and generally shorter total durations than average unitgraphs obtained by conventional techniques from rainfall and streamflow data for single events. The calculated inputs to these un

## Abstract The propagation of plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium (ICM) is investigated. Simple conditions are derived—in terms of the constitutive parameters of the ICM—for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow. It is demonstrated that phase velocity and

## Abstract Cabeceira et al. recently presented a time‐domain analysis of wave propagation in a Tellegen medium [1]. Their analysis is ill‐founded because (i) the existence of any Tellegen medium is not tenable within modern electromagnetic theory; and (ii) the constitutive relations employed are n

## Abstract Radiation‐induced bystander effect represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of the radiobiological effects of ionizing radiation in that extranuclear and extracellular effects may also contribute to the final biological consequences of exposure to low doses of radiation. Evidenc

This article proposes and tests a model of regret minimization in the consumer decision-making context of sales promotions. The work examines how regret is minimized in a risk-avoiding planned purchase by conducting information search and primarily rejoicing afterwards. For risk-seeking impulse purc
