Narrow Escape

Arissa Tiong and her three-year-old niece are snatched off the street by a notorious gang, when she hears them mention her late police officer brother she knows she and her niece are in danger.

From the city streets of Blackwood to the country roads of Nordelle, come along with Special Agent David Carter of the Central Investigations Unit (CIU) on the ride of his life.David Carter is young, eager, and naïve. When he is chosen from a pool of agents for a special undercover assignment, David sees it as an opportunity despite his obvious lack of wisdom, training, and experience. Can David prove himself worthy of the trust placed in him? Dieter Kleinmann is on a mission to bring down his longtime nemesis, Frank Alexander. As director of the CIU, Dieter has the authority to investigate Alexander’s organization. Can Dieter orchestrate the downfall of Frank Alexander? Drug lord and arms dealer Frank Alexander runs Blackwood. He is King. He is ruthless. He is also a husband and a father of two young daughters that he loves dearly. A contradiction? Not to a man who has mastered the art of compartmentalization. But, when the walls of his partitioned life start to crumble, can Frank continue being King? Adrianna Parker is a good woman in a bad relationship. Will a chance meeting with an old friend give her the opportunity, and the courage, she needs to break free and start over?

This book covers recent developments in the non-standard asymptotics of the mathematical narrow escape problem in stochastic theory, as well as applications of the narrow escape problem in cell biology. The first part of the book concentrates on mathematical methods, including advanced asymptotic methods in partial equations, and is aimed primarily at applied mathematicians and theoretical physicists who are interested in biological applications. The second part of the book is intended for computational biologists, theoretical chemists, biochemists, biophysicists, and physiologists. It includes a summary of output formulas from the mathematical portion of the book and concentrates on their applications in modeling specific problems in theoretical molecular and cellular biology. Critical biological processes, such as synaptic plasticity and transmission, activation of genes by transcription factors, or double-strained DNA break repair, are controlled by diffusion in structures that have both large and small spatial scales. These may be small binding sites inside or on the surface of the cell, or narrow passages between subcellular compartments. The great disparity in spatial scales is the key to controlling cell function by structure. This volume reports recent progress on resolving analytical and numerical difficulties in extracting properties from experimental data, biophysical models, and from Brownian dynamics simulations of diffusion in multi-scale structures.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Sometimes things happen that convince you Somebody's got your back. You know those close calls that make your heart start racing'or nearly stop. Those nerve-racking experiences that leave you in shock and relief that you made it through. Those are the narrow escapes that make you realize that God is working overtime to keep you safe. Here are the true stories of some astonishing narrow escapes that definitely involved help from Heaven. How else could we explain these stories of survival? Just imagine being held at gunpoint by two drunk men! What about a car stuck on railroad tracks'with a train fast approaching! And just wait until you read about a frightening visit to a fortuneteller, a raging bull running straight toward a girl, and scuba divers trapped under a sheet of ice. Whew! There's nothing like a narrow escape to remind us that God is watching out for us!
