The Middle East stands at a critical juncture, with Iran's nuclear programme and the prospect of Israeli pre-emptive action threatening global stability. "Escalation Point" delivers a meticulously researched analysis of this volatile situation, presenting three plausible scenarios that could reshape the region.Moving beyond sensationalism, this examination explores how personal political motivations might trigger wider conflict. With Israel's extremist government facing internation...

This book examines Donald Trump's controversial approach to Arab leaders, employing a coercive strategy that combined intimidation and financial blackmail to secure political compliance. Trump's tactics included stark warnings that Saudi Arabia "would not last a few days" without U.S. protection, whilst pressuring Gulf leaders to provide billions in tribute payments to maintain American favour. This calculated arm-twisting left Arab rulers both fearful and submissive, advancing Trump's Mid...

Mr Philippe Bernard's work offers a comprehensive and timely analysis of democracy, rule of law, human rights, civil society, and individual freedoms across the 22 Arab League member states. This region, characterised by diverse political systems, historical trajectories, and sociocultural contexts, presents a complex landscape for evaluating these fundamental pillars of governance and social well-being.The book adopts a multidimensional approach. Firstly, it provides detailed analy...

This book presents the state of the art in parallel numerical algorithms, applications, architectures, and system software. The book examines various solutions for issues of concurrency, scale, energy efficiency, and programmability, which are discussed in the context of a diverse range of applications. Features: includes contributions from an international selection of world-class authorities; examines parallel algorithm-architecture interaction through issues of computational capacity-ba...

This book is primarily intended as a research monograph that could also be used in graduate courses for the design of parallel algorithms in matrix computations.It assumes general but not extensive knowledge of numerical linear algebra, parallel architectures, and parallel programming paradigms.The book consists of four parts: (I) Basics; (II) Dense and Special Matrix Computations; (III) Sparse Matrix Computations; and (IV) Matrix functions and characteristics. Part I deals...
