The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan forced a revolution in military thinking that brought
stability operations to the forefront while coloring the military as one-part warrior, onepart
reluctant architect of peace. Despite years of experience in stability operations of

Adaptive finite element methods (FEM) have been widely used in applications for over 20 years now. In practice, they converge starting from coarse grids, although no mathematical theory has been able to prove this assertion. Ensuring an error reduction rate…

A new computable a posteriori error estimator is introduced, which relies on the solution of small discrete problems on stars. It exhibits built-in flux equilibration and is equivalent to the energy error up to data oscillation without any saturation assumption.…

Data oscillation is intrinsic information missed by the averaging process associated with finite element methods (FEM) regardless of quadrature. Ensuring a reduction rate of data oscillation, together with an error reduction based on a posteriori error estimators, we construct a…

A produção animal nos ecossistemas do semi-árido é influenciada pela variabilidade espacial e interanual da oferta quantitativa e qualitativa de recursos forrageiros. A dinâmica da acumulação de fitomassa para a maioria das diferentes espécies da caatinga é pouco conhecida, o…

Esta comunicação tem por objetivo apresentar a aplicação do sistema classificatório desenvolvido por Kuechler (1949) e divulgada por Troppmair (2002), para os diferentes mosaicos vegetacionais de uma determinada porção da superfície terrestre.Para tal desempenho, foi escolhido de forma aleatória, o…

Kenya’s pursuit to be among the top tourism destinations globally require strategic focus as envisaged in Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Ecotourism supports environmental conservation as well as generating economic opportunities. It additionally emphasizes benefits to…

 Researchers with experiential disability knowledge increasingly engage in socio-medical research. In this paper the author discusses her experiences with employing her own lived experiences with disability in academic and non-academic research projects. Incorporating one’s own lived experiences in research implies…

This paper looked into sensitive issues on risky and sexual behaviors faced by adolescents today that have future ramifications. The purpose of this study is to provide knowledge of the sexual and non-sexual risk taking tendencies among adolescents of the…
