Water on Mars and Life
Growing evidence, based on observations from orbiters, landers and telescopes, indicates that Mars may still have numerous hidden water reservoirs. Moreover, from the point of view of habitability, Mars is a prime target for astrobiologists in search of extant or extinct microbial life because we know that life exists in earth’s permafrost regions, such as parts of Siberia and the Antarctic, which are the closest terrestrial analogues to Mars. "Water on Mars and Life" surveys recent advances made in research into water on Mars together with its astrobiological implications. This volume addresses not only scientists working in the field but also nonspecialists and students in search of a high-level but accessible introduction to this exciting field of research.

Waseet = وسيط
Due to the advancement of civilization and the increasing specialization in various fields, the search for solutions to organize and facilitate the access to specialized services has become a pressing necessity. Competition in the business market has increased, and the dispersion of unreliable resources and services has led to significant challenges in choosing the appropriate services for consumers' needs. On the other hand, advertising and promotions have escalated, making it difficult for service providers, whether organizations or individuals, to effectively reach their target audience. This makes the need for more specialized service platforms more urgent, as they provide a reliable and organized environment for both seekers and providers alike. These platforms offer a diverse range of specialized services in an organized and structured manner, while providing mechanisms for evaluating the services and offering guidance by the customers. Thus, they facilitate the search and selection process for customers, as well as help in building a good reputation for service providers and increasing future job opportunities

Vortices in the Magnetic Ginzburg-Landau Model
This text presents complete and mathematically rigorous versions of both results either already known by physicists or applied mathematicians, or entirely new. It begins by introducing mathematical tools such as the vortex balls construction and Jacobian estimates. Among the applications presented are: the determination of the vortex densities and vortex locations for energy minimizers in a wide range of regimes of applied fields, the precise expansion of the so-called first critical field in a bounded domain, the existence of branches of solutions with given numbers of vortices, and the derivation of a criticality condition for vortex densities of non-minimizing solutions. Thus, this book retraces in an almost entirely self-contained way many results that are scattered in series of articles, while containing a number of previously unpublished results as well.
Vortices and Turbulence at Very Low Temperatures
