"Language in South Africa" debates the role of language and language planning in the reconstruction, development and transformation of post-apartheid democratic South Africa. The 1996 constitution of South Africa is founded on the political philosophy of pluralism and is directed at promoting democratic values, equity and non-discrimination, human rights, national unity and the development of all the country’s communities. The question asked in this work is how language planning can contribute towards the attainment of these national ideals. Set against the language political realities o

In the recent half-century, many mathematicians have investigated various problems on several equations of mixed type and obtained interesting results, with important applications to gas dynamics. However, the Tricomi problem of general mixed type equations of second order with parabolic degeneracy has not been completely solved, particularly the Tricomi and Frankl problems for general Chaplygin equation in multiply connected domains posed by L Bers, and the existence, regularity of solutions of the above problems for mixed equations with non-smooth degenerate curve in several domains posed by

This book presents a systematic exposition of the theory of conformal mappings, boundary value problems for analytic and harmonic functions, and the relationship between the two subjects. It is suitable for use as an undergraduate or graduate level textbook, and exercises are included. The first three chapters recount existence and uniqueness theorems of conformal mappings from simply and multiply connected domains to standard domains, some properties of analytic functions, harmonic functions and schlicht meromorphic functions, and representations of conformal mappings. In the remaining three

In this stunning work, Pam Chun brings a new and powerful voice to the traditions of Chinese-American fiction. The Money Dragon brings to life the saga of L. Ah Leong, the Money Dragon, one of the legends of Hawai`i and the founder of Honolulu’s Chinatown. At the turn of the twentieth century, Ah Leong rules over his Hawai`ian home, a legendary man so proficient in the martial arts he has brought himself back to life; a man who beguiles many wives, sires dozens of children and is driven by money and greed. He builds a financial empire, establishing himself as a leader both on the exotic isla

This book deals mainly with linear and nonlinear parabolic equations and systems of second order. It first transforms the real forms of parabolic equations and systems into complex forms, and then discusses several initial boundary value problems and Cauchy problems for quasilinear and nonlinear parabolic complex equations of second order with smooth coefficients or measurable coefficients. Parabolic complex equations are discussed in the nonlinear case and the boundary conditions usually include the initial irregular oblique derivative. The boundary value problems are considered in multiply c

Banned in China for its candid exploration of a young girl’s sexual awakening yet widely acclaimed as being "the first novel of ’tough youth’ in China" (Beijing Today), Beijing Doll cuts a daring path through China’s rock-and-roll subculture. This cutting edge novel -- drawn from the diaries the author kept throughout her teenage years -- takes readers to the streets of Beijing where a disaffected generation spurns tradition for lives of self expression, passion, and rock-and-roll. Chun Sue’s explicit sensuality, unflinching attitude towards sex, and raw, lyrical
