“…There are many equivalent formulations available on this idea [17,18]. A recent one is due to McMullan, [19] which is based on functional integration using Grassmann variables and collective coordinate transformation. We briefly summarize our approach and then compile results on some physical properties.…”

The signature for a non-Fermi liquid behavior near a quantum phase transition has been observed in thermal and transport properties of many metallic systems at low temperatures. In the present work we consider specific examples of itinerant ferromagnet as well as antiferromagnet in the limit of vanishing transition temperature. The temperature variation of spin susceptibility, electrical resistivity, specific heat, and NMR relaxation rates at low temperatures is calculated in the limit of infinite exchange enhancement within the frame work of a self consistent spin fluctuation theory. The resulting non- of these properties in some typical systems has been done. Finally we make some remarks on the effect of disorder in these systems.

“…These results are presented in three rows for each property. The first row gives results from a non-selfconsistent calculation, i.e., for example, when only the first term in Eq (19). for α(T ) is considered but with a proper momentum cut off.…”

How do twenty-first century theatre practitioners negotiate the dynamics of tradition and innovation across the works of Samuel Beckett? Beckett's own tendencies toward fluidity of genre, iteration/repetition, and collaboration – modes that also define the 'experimental' – allow for greater openness than is often assumed. Reading recent performances for creative uses of embodiment, environment, and technology reveals the increasingly interdisciplinary, international, and intermedial character of contemporary Beckettian practice. The experimentation of current practitioners challenges a discourse based on historical controversies, exposing a still-expanding terrain for Beckett in performance.

How It Is and What Where After L'Innommable Beckett found himself at an impasse. In a letter to Aidan Higgins in February , Beckett indicates that the novel marks an endpoint in his writing, 'there being nobody left to utter and,. .. nothing left to utter about' (LII ).  L'Innommable 'seems about the end of the jaunt as far as I am concerned', he asserts.  Just over a week later, writing to Bram and Geer van Velde's sister, Jacoba van Velde, Beckett elaborates on his predicament: 'I haven't been able to do anything since L'Innommable. It's the bottom of the barrel. Perhaps you'll understand why when you read it. I twist and turn, but to no purpose' (LII ).  These twistings and turnings would become Beckett's thirteen Textes pour rien, short prose pieces 'torn off the placenta of L'Innommable ',  begun, in fact, over a year before those letters were written.  In addition, Beckett undertook freelance work, translating Octavio Paz's Anthology of Mexican Poetry for UNESCO, and Georges Duthuit's study Les Fauves. He was also reading and translating Maurice Blanchot's work, an interest which began in  when Duthuit sent him one of Blanchot's articles.  By  Beckett had read Blanchot's Lautréamont et Sade (), commenting that there are 'some very good things in it. A few tremendous quotations that I did not know, in the style of the one I knocked up for you from the  Days. Hard to single out one passage to translate, but I managed to and started on it' (LII ).  Beckett began to translate Blanchot's book, announcing to Duthuit on  January : 'I have finished the Blanchot. It makes  pages of
