Der erste Schweizer Druck von Johann Arndts "Wahrem Christentum" von 1616
Researchers working on Johann Arndt have known for some time of a Zurich imprint of the first book of his True Christianity, which appeared in 1616, but the printing history of this imprint has been completely unknown. The book was published by a previously unknown bookseller named Johann Balthasar Beugger. In this article, his identity is illuminated and his affiliation with the Schwenckfeldians is demonstrated
The Hollis-Collections in Switzerland: An Attempt to Disseminate Political and Religious Freedom through Books in the 18th Century
Thomas Hollis (1720–1774) was not only one of the most important donors of the Harvard College Library, but donated also books to a number of institutions throughout Europe, among them the main libraries in Basle, Berne, Geneva and Zurich. This article shows the motivations behind Hollis’s choice of books and recipients to spread the philosophy of political and religious liberty and demonstrates for the first time the full extent of Hollis’s campaign to influence protestant scholars in Switzerland

Analysis of three-component aeromagnetic data
The numerical method of obtaining three field components from total field measurements, using double Fourier series expansion, is presented. The expressions for moments of the anomalous field components over a finite area are given. The magnitude and direction of the magnetization vector indicate that the vertical component of the magnetic field calculated from total field observations is more accurate at higher geomagnetic latitudes than at lower latitudes. The opposite is true for the horizontal components. The error in determining the magnetization vector directions are significantly large over most of the range of variation of declination and inclination of the vector, demonstrating the practical limitations of computing field components from total field data even under the best of conditions
Solving the Klein-Gordon equation using Fourier spectral methods: A benchmark test for computer performance
The cubic Klein-Gordon equation is a simple but non-trivial partial
differential equation whose numerical solution has the main building blocks
required for the solution of many other partial differential equations. In this
study, the library 2DECOMP&FFT is used in a Fourier spectral scheme to solve
the Klein-Gordon equation and strong scaling of the code is examined on
thirteen different machines for a problem size of 512^3. The results are useful
in assessing likely performance of other parallel fast Fourier transform based
programs for solving partial differential equations. The problem is chosen to
be large enough to solve on a workstation, yet also of interest to solve
quickly on a supercomputer, in particular for parametric studies. Unlike other
high performance computing benchmarks, for this problem size, the time to
solution will not be improved by simply building a bigger supercomputer.Comment: 10 page
