This book critically engages with dominant ideas of cultural homogeneity in the Nordic countries and contests the notion of homogeneity as a crucial determinant of social cohesion and societal security. Showing how national ...

We consider string pair production in non homogeneous electric backgrounds. We study several particular configurations which can be addressed with the Euclidean world-sheet instanton technique, the analogue of the world-line ...

Local extinction of native species and colonization of non-native species are commonly invoked as responsible for changes in species similarity among biotas of different regions. In this study we used a model of species ...

The aim of this study was to analyze the annual and seasonal rainfall variability, both in its size and spatial distribution to determine rainfall homogeneous regions in the mogi guaçu river basin We used monthly rainfall ...

In two dimensions there are optimal bounds for the effective conductivity of arbitrary mixtures of two heat conducting materials: one isotropic and the other anisotropic; used in fixed volume fractions and allowing for ...

The pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis is one of the most commercially exploited species in Brazil's South and Southeastern regions. Specific information about the status of its genetic variation is necessary to promote ...

This research aims to detect areas of homogeneous residential electric consumption in the Great La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This study will identify main socio-demographic factors that impact on the electricity ...

The purpose of this study was to separate homogeneous regions and to estimate the numbers of years necessary to evaluate the variables: sunshine, global solar radiation and photossintetically active radiation in Sao Paulo ...

A mathematical mixing procedure of two homogeneous viscous fluids is proposed. These fluids are separated by a rapidly oscillating interface of period ϵ and constant amplitude. The mixture is obtained in a region around ...

In this work we consider a non-homogenous Poisson model to study the behaviour of the number of times that a pollutant's concentration surpasses a given threshold of interest. Spatial dependence is imposed on the ...
