... LWN.net FAQ . ... This article is part of the LWN Porting Drivers to 2.6 series . The longstanding task queue interface was removed in 2.5.41; in its place is a new "workqueue" mechanism. ... Tasks to be run out of a workqueue need to be packaged in a struct work_struct structure. ... INIT_WORK must be used at least once before queueing the work_struct structure, but should not be used if the work_struct might already be in a workqueue. ...

For non-spherical isotropic particles, the classic variant of the RDG approximation does not include the anisotropy of the shape and hence does not give the correct Rayleigh limit, say, for small ellipsoids. ... We call this variant a modified RDG approximation (MRDG). ... First, the MRDG leads to the correct Rayleigh limit. ... The second approach to generalization of the RDG is connected with the use of the Born iterations for the scattering integral equation [ 95 , 124 , 132 , 264 ]. ...

... 18c. Work . ... The concept of Work is closely related to that of energy. ... Suppose we lift a weight A of mass m a distance h (for height) from the floor to the table (Figure 1). ... That, however, is just the potential energy added to the weight! ... Energy is always preserved but--as seen in an earlier section--not always in a usable form. ... Because the trains are linked, when one goes up, the other descends, and by giving up its potential energy, it helps pull the other one upwards. ...
