Horizons in World Physics

This book presents original research results on the leading edge of physics. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research across a broad spectrum. Topics included in this compilation include hydrodynamic modelling of the dielectric barrier discharges in Xe and Xe-C12 mixtures; plasma and ion beam sputtering processes; fractional field theory and high-energy physics; lie groups and Cantorian space-time theory in connection with high-energy physics; quarks and fractionally quantised vortices in superconductors; supersymmetry and 3-algebra model of M-theory; new alternative methods to determine distances to celestial bodies; and the general dynamics of the bulk tilted cosmological model.
