Get Fit and Stay Fit! It is so nice to feel good and to look good. The problem, of course, is how to get from here to there. The K*I*S*S* Fitness Program is a simple strength and endurance training program that will do the job. There are plenty of exercise programs that require the use of fancy equipment. This program comes about as close as you can get to requiring no equipment at all. The K*I*S*S* Fitness Program is also a lot of fun. The many variations of the Program keep your interest high and provide as much challenge as you might possibly want. Finally, almost anyone can use the Program - couch potato to athlete, kids to senior citizens, women or men. A simple exercise program for everybody that's fun to use: make it a part of your life-style and get fit and stay fit. Stephen J. Winter, Ph.D., has been a fitness enthusiast since his teens. He has excelled in weight lifting and distance running and has done well in other sports including rowing, swimming, and bicycling. In recent years, he has experimented with the use of simple calisthenics movements in conjunction with walking and running as a means of getting fit and staying fit. The K*I*S*S* Fitness Program is one result of this experimentation. Now Social Security age and still winning fitness contests against men young enough to be his grandchildren, he is a good example of the effectiveness of the type of fitness program described in this book. Winter is a certified personal trainer and now lives with his family in Norwich, New York.

Efficient numerical solution of realistic and, therefore, complex equation systems occupies many researchers in many disciplines. For various reasons, but mainly in order to approximate reality, a very large number of unknowns are needed. Using classical techniques, the solution of such a system of equations would take too long, and so sometimes MultiLevel techniques are used to accelerate convergence. Over the last one and a half decades, the authors have studied the problem of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication, governed by a complex integro-differential equation. Their work has resulted in a very efficient and stable solver. In this book they describe the different intermediate problems analyzed and solved, and how those ingredients finally come together in the EHL solver. A number of these intermediate problems, such as Hydrodynamic Lubrication and Dry Contact, are useful in their own right. In the Appendix the full codes of the Poisson problem, the Hydrodynamic Lubrication problem, the dry contact solver and the EHL solver are given. These codes are all written in 'C' language, based on the 'ANSI-C' version.
This compilation of original papers on information retrieval presents an overview, covering both general theory and specific methods, of the development and current status of information retrieval systems. Each chapter contains several papers carefully chosen to represent substantive research work that has been carried out in that area, each is preceded by an introductory overview and followed by supported references for further reading.
