Tödlich. Präzise. Unerbittlich. JET. Nur noch diese eine Mission – dann darf sich JET endlich und endgültig zur Ruhe setzen. In Moskau wurden zwei nukleare Sprengsätze gestohlen. Von ihnen fehlt jede Spur, bis eine davon in Somalia gezündet wird. Es ist offenbar ein Testlauf ... und niemand weiß, wo sich die zweite Bombe befindet und wie viele Leben auf dem Spiel stehen. Für JET beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Sie ist die Einzige, die die Drahtzieher hinter diesem Coup aufhalten kann. Und der Mossad – jene Organisation, der sie seit Jahren zu entkommen versucht – ist bereit, sie mit allem auszustatten, was nötig ist, um die verbliebene Bombe zu finden. Und ihr endlich ihr Leben zurückzugeben ... JET – die ultimative Abenteuerreihe, so spannend wie bestes Blockbuster-Kino. Von New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autor Russell Blake.

"Dieses Buch erinnert einen wieder daran, warum man lesen sollte." [Amazon.com] Die actiongeladene Romanreihe um Ex-Mossad-Agentin JET geht in die dritte Runde. Eigentlich wollte sich JET nach den jüngsten Ereignissen zur Ruhe setzen und versuchen, ein normales Familienleben zu führen. Doch das Schicksal hat andere Pläne mit ihr. Personen aus ihrer Vergangenheit sinnen auf Rache, und so wird sie in terroristische Pläne verstrickt, die sie von Südamerika nach Moskau und bis in den Jemen führen. Töten oder getötet werden, lautet die Devise – etwas, das JET nur allzu gern hinter sich gelassen hätte. Etwas, das niemand so gut beherrscht wie sie.

Gravity driven multi-phase flow in porous media is an important mode of fluid transport in several geologic settings. Some applications where gravity drainage may play an important role in the movement of a fluid can include primary oil recovery from a petroleum reservoir or water flow into the ground surface. Because of the similarities between a single-gravity environment and a centrifugal environment, measurements of two-phase flow are often conducted in the centrifuge to observe the behavior of the whole system under gravity-like conditions while reducing the time of measurement. In this study, measurements of transient fluid outflow from sandstone cores were conducted in the centrifuge using air as the invading phase. The draining phase in these experiments comprised three different brines and a light mineral oil. Hydraulic conductivity functions and capillary pressure curves were determined from this data using a numerical history matching technique, and the results were compared with two prevailing analytical models. The results of this study corroborate previous findings that a full numerical history match can easily predict more realistic hydraulic conductivity functions than the prevailing analytical models.

Clues and whispers lead them on a hunt from the Solomons to Australia to Japan, and what they find at the end of the trail is both wonderful and monstrous--and like nothing they have ever seen before.

In order to survive in power, the rulers of political regimes must rely on armed forces for defense. In developing forces that are strong enough to protect the state, however, rulers give rise to a new type of challenger for political power that may itself threaten the government. This dilemma has long troubled political leaders and has frequently resulted in coups d'etat, to the point where these events have become the most common form of political instability in the world. Chapter 1 presents a game theoretic model that distills this fundamental dilemma to its barest essentials, and shows that the logic underlying the conventional wisdom on civil-military relations is misguided. The risk of a coup does not depend on the severity of the external threat facing the regime --- as previous research holds --- but rather on the factors that lead political and military agents to hold divergent beliefs about the nature of the threat. Chapter 2 extends this model and focuses on the "Circling of the Wagons" effect, in which elevated threats induce military loyalty. Even though larger external threats increase the military's willingness to remain loyal, rulers are only willing to behave aggressively to exacerbate the threat environment when they are uncertain about the severity of these threats. Predictions derived from the theory find support in survival analysis of disputatious dyads from 1950 to 2001. Chapter 3 examines the claim that military performance is hurt by rulers who select personnel on the basis of their ties to the regime for fear of a coup. The argument centers around the need to consider the competing imperatives facing rulers in states at risk of a military coup. Because military agents who are more willing to remain loyal need not be constrained in their ability to act against the regime, military organizations comprised of politically-reliable personnel can be trusted with more coercive power. This proposition is evaluated through a qualitative analysis of the Iraqi armed forces during the Iran-Iraq War.
