It arose out of materials gathered for a broader monograph, on the economic views of the Polish–German socialist, that was abandoned by the author. Such a narrowing of the subject-matter may nevertheless have some practical advantages. At a certain stage of research, one of the fundamental duties of the historian…

A Fluid-Structure Interaction model is studied for aortic flow, based on Koiter’s shell model for the structure, Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid and transpiration for the coupling. It accounts for wall deformation while yet working on a fixed geometry. The model is established first. Then a numerical approximation is proposed and some tests are given. The model is also used for optima…

Authors of those introduc- tions face many challenges, such as the need to produce something that is both theoreti- cally sound and practically valuable, or to find a way to integrate discussions on a vari- ety of topics into one comprehensible teaching t…
