The History of Another Dimension - 50 Years of Bentley's V8 Engine
Dr Ulrich Eichhorn's lecture covers the original design and development of the Bentley V8 engine, from its introduction in 1959, in their S2 model, through to its present day form in the newly launched Bentley Brooklands coupe.
With contributions from several senior figures involved with the engine's creation and evolution over the last 50 years, the talk will describe how a well thought out concept and its careful execution have carried the design through to 2009, while other contemporaries have long since fallen by the wayside.

Dear researchers.
I am trying to start studying HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) absorption mechanisms and modeling methods, specially for clinical applications(absorption in tissue). But I cant find any straightforward article in this field.Would you please help me on this.
With great Thanks.

Is it possible to decompose a 4th-order tensor Dijkl with minor symmetry (i.e., Dijkl=Djikl=Dijlk) into Dijkl=AijBkl? And does Dijkl have its polar decomposition form like a 2-order tensor ? Welcome to discuss this question.
