Accounting practices differ across geographic and political boundaries, across sectors of the economy within these boundaries, and across types of organizations. Globalization exerts a homogenizing force across the political and jurisdictional boundaries with mixed consequences. The development of markets for various factors of production exerts a similar integrative force across sectors of the...

We study galvanic currents on a heterogeneous surface. In electrochemistry, the oxidation-reduction reaction producing the current is commonly modeled by a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem. The boundary condition is of exponential type with periodically varying parameters. We construct an approximation by first homogenizing the problem, and then linearizing about the homogenized soluti...

Fish faunas across the continental United States have become more similar through time because of widespread introductions of a group of cosmopolitan species intended to enhance food and sport fisheries. On average, pairs of states have 15.4 more species in common now than before European settlement of North America. The 89 pairs of states that formerly had no species in common now share an ave...

This paper proposes an Along-Track Swarm Synthetic Aperture Radar (ATS-SAR) system to accomplish the high frame rate and enhance imaging resolution simultaneously. Unlike current along-track Multistatic SAR (Multi-SAR), each platform of proposed ATS-SAR only collects part aperture data. Then, bistatic pair acquisitions are transformed into virtual monostatic sub-apertures, a large is combined i...

We study international film flows between Bolivia and Latin America to explore the lack of Bolivian content on Netflix its limited presence in other SVOD platforms. characterize originals, third-party content, recent films, develop a thematic analysis their synopsis genre description, completed with results survey consumption streaming content. identify common patterns show how it differs from ...

Monitoring environmental factors such as pollutants, relative humidity, light, etc. is needed to ensure a proper preventive conservation of cultural heritage. Since existing systems are expensive and difficult maintain, we propose sustainable alternative the use crowdsourced photographs taken by visitors using their cell phones. These images tailor made panel, including sensitive materials cali...

This study assessed surface treatment techniques applicable to welded joints of stainless steel pipes and vessels for a hydrogen-permeation barrier. Specifically investigated was electrolytic polishing using electrolyte compositions consisting sulfuric acid, phosphoric methane-sulfonic acid promote uniform passive film formation on type 304 surface. also examined oxidation combination chemical ...

We consider the problem of computing homogeneous coordinates points in a zero-dimensional subscheme compact, complex toric variety X X ....
