Characterizations of the containment of a convex set either in an arbitrary convex set or in the complement of a finite union of convex sets (i.e., the set, described by reverse-convex inequalities) are given. These characterizations provide ways of verifying…

We tracked the daily movements of three juvenile golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) using satellite telemetry. Straight distances covered in an hour and throughout a day were calculated. Daily movements of golden eagles are mostly characterized by short-distance excursions, with 64%…

We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

The author outlines a new legal approach, which he labels federal constitutionalism, to the
question of aboriginal difference in Canada. This approach has the potential to open up more
fruitful avenues for the resolution of aboriginal law issues than either…

Desalination of seawater has become an important and growing
industry due to the water shortage in some Mediterranean countries. This
activity may result in environmental impacts, mainly generated by the
discharge into the sea of the concentrate (brine) produced. Data…

A linearization method of the nonlinear differential equation for conservative nonlinear oscillators is analyzed and discussed. This scheme is based on the Chebyshev series expansion of the restoring force which allows us to obtain a frequency-amplitude relation which is valid…

Decapod crustaceans are fairly common in Cenozoic strata of northwestern and southern Belgium. In this work, the stratigraphic distribution of all known species is summarized.
