Taking into account the victim's condition and the defendant's rights during the criminal proceedings, such discourses are linked to show the inefficacy of that law towards both the victim and the defendant.

Using conventional fixed grid methods for solving the model equations in such conditions may lead to inaccurate predictions of ...

Typically, the permeability of these membranes has a pressure and composition dependence that is well described by the dual-mode transport model. Nevertheless, for simplicity, most of the hollow-fiber ...

The complexity of such problems is increased when the solutions exhibit sharp moving fronts. A new numerical method is established, based on interpolating wavelets, that dynamically adapts the collocation grid so that higher resolution is automatically attributed to domain regions where sharp features are present. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated with some relevant examples in a chemical engineering context.

In many cases these structures require unavailable financial resources for inspection, ...
