We are interested in the robustness of a Liouville type theorem for a reaction diffusion equation in exterior domains. Indeed H. Berestycki, F. Hamel and H. Matano (2009) proved such a result as soon as the domain satisfies some geometric properties. We investigate here whether their result holds for perturbations of the domain. We prove that as soon as our perturbation is close to the initial ...

This paper presents a nonlinear controller for terrain following of a vertical take-off and landing vehicle (VTOL). The VTOL vehicle is assumed to be a rigid body, equipped with a minimum sensor suite (camera, IMU and barometric altimeter) maneuvering over a textured rough terrain made of a concatenation of planar surfaces. Assuming that the forward velocity is separately regulated to a desired...

A língua Warao é uma originária da Venezuela, mas atualmente por conta do intenso fluxo migratório falada também no Brasil. Diante presença em todas as regiões Brasil surge a necessidade de refletir sobre especificidades linguísticas referido povo. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho apresentar perfil sociolinguístico dos e também, questões relacionadas ao multilinguismo políticas voltadas p...

multiple upheavals, companies must rely on their knowledge and not their products to remain competitive (Hamel, 2001). Moreover, this knowledge may be found outside the company (Dyer and Singh, 1998; Zack, 2003). It may therefore be shared through business relationships developed within the supply chain (Gold et al., 2001; Mak and Ramaprasad, 2003). This situation raises various management chal...

We obtain explicit formulas for the product of a deformed Weyl denominator with the character of an irreducible representation of the spin group Spin2r+1(C), which is an analogue of the formulas of Tokuyama for Schur polynomials and Hamel-King for characters of symplectic groups. To give these, we start with a symplectic group and obtain such characters using the Casselman-Shalika formula. We t...

In 2009, Hamel et al. [1] proposed the disease “extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like appearance” (EMAP) as a new clinical entity. It is characterized by early-onset (<50 years) bilaterally symmetric macular atrophy with increased vertical axis, surrounded by numerous pseudodrusen-like deposits, with rapid involvement of the fovea and entire posterior pole. In addition, EMAP patients...

In this paper, Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) is combined with Galerkin method to investigate the MHD Jeffery-Hamel flows in non-parallel walls for strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Results for velocity profiles in divergent and convergent channels for various values of Hartmann and Reynolds numbers are compared with numerical method (the Runge-Kutta method of order...

The strategy literature has long debated the relative contribution of firm versus industry related factors as the drivers of firm profitability. The industrial organization perspective on this issue suggests that the structure of an industry is a key determinant of profitability (e.g., Porter, 1979). On the other hand, the resource-based view of the firm posits that strategic advantages conferr...
