this article examines the human rights abuses perpetrated by the united nationsmissions in places like kosovo, congo and haiti where the united nations powerhas been practically comparable to the state power. it will also investigate similarcases of abuses committed by highest-ranking un officials in new yorkheadquarter and geneva offices. the violations examined in this article include notjust...

Klassen et al. [9] recently developed a theoretical formulation to model shape dissimilarities by means of geodesics on appropriate spaces. They used the local geometry of an infinite dimensional manifold to measure the distance dist(A,B) between two given shapes A and B. A key limitation of their approach is that the computation of distances developed in the above work is inherently unstable, ...

In this contribution we address the efficient solution of optimal control problems of dynamic processes with many controls. Such problems arise, e.g., from the outer convexification of integer control decisions. We treat this optimal control problem class using the direct multiple shooting method to discretize the optimal control problem. The resulting nonlinear problems are solved using sequen...

Background. Archery is a precision sport that requires high levels of consistency and reproducibility in the shooting movement to achieve the highest score. Objectives. This study aimed to compare and correlate the shooting time characteristics and shooting posture on the archery shooting performance of high- and low-performance archers. Methods. Terengganu state team and Malaysia Pahang Spor...

The power system nonlinearity and its profound impact on the individual states of power system is first evaluated and the interaction between their constituent modes during the occurrence of internal mode resonance (IMR) is discussed in this paper. A typical dynamical feature of nonlinear systems is the frequency-energy dependence of their states and their corresponding constituent modes which ...
