The children of mama coca: Coca, cocaine and the fate of harm reduction in South America
(ScienceDirect, 2010)
Petri net reduction rules through incidence matrix operations
(2013)
A Petri net (PN) is a powerful tool that has been used to
model and analyze discrete event systems. Such
systems can be concurrent, asynchronous, distributed,
parallel, non-deterministic, and/or stochastic. A problem
in ...

The degree of compliance with occupational risk-prevention legislation among Construction Sector firms within Spain, most of which are micro-SMEs and SMEs, is studied in this research. Likewise, a meticulous analysis is ...
QUADRANT-SEARCHING: A NEW TECHNIQUE TO REDUCE THE SEARCH SPACE OF THE INVERSE PROBLEM OF EIT USING BEM TO THE DIRECT PROBLEM
(WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 2011)
The image reconstruction using the EIT (Electrical Impedance Tomography) technique is a nonlinear and ill-posed inverse problem which demands a powerful direct or iterative method. A typical approach for solving the problem ...
Growing pereskia aculeata under intermittent irrigation according to levels of matric potential reduction
(2015-01-01)
Pereskia aculeata Mill., popularly known in Brazil as “Ora-pro-nobis”, is an unconventional edible vegetable. Taking into account its potential for agronomic cultivation, this study aimed to evaluate the growth response ...
Changes induced by transition metal oxides in Pt nanoparticles unveil the effects of electronic properties on oxygen reduction activity
(2019-01-01)
Although the relevance of electronic effects in the electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction has been recognized, the impossibility of separating the effects of composition and particle size for Pt-based materials ...
Rotationally symmetric solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard equation
(Southwest Missouri State University, 2017)
This paper is devoted to construction of new solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard equation in ℝd. Staring from the Delaunay unduloid Dô with parameter τ ∈ (0, τ∗) we find for each sufficiently small ε a solution u of this equation ...
Redução carbotérmica de TiO2 por descarga em cátodo oco
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBRUFRNPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia MecânicaTecnologia de Materiais; Projetos Mecânicos; Termociências, 2011-11-23)
In this study we used the plasma as a source of energy in the process of carbothermic reduction of rutile ore (TiO2). The rutile and graphite powders were milled for 15 h and placed in a hollow cathode discharge produced ...
Tracking poverty reduction in Bhutan: Income deprivation alongside deprivation in other sources of happiness
(Springer, 2013-02)
This paper analyses poverty reduction in Bhutan between two points in time: 2003 and 2007, from a multidimensional perspective. The measures estimated include consumption expenditure as well as other indicators which are ...
