In this paper we show Whitney’s fibering conjecture in the real and complex, local analytic and global algebraic cases. For a given germ of complex or real analytic set, we show the existence of a stratification satisfying a strong (real arc-analytic with respect to all variables and analytic with respect to the parameter space) trivialization property along each stratum. We call such a trivial...

Biomedical research in the US will become unsustainable unless scientists and research institutions start to question certain assumptions they have long taken for granted.

Sand is considered one of the most consumed natural resource, being essential to many industries, including building construction, electronics, plastics, and water filtration. This paper assesses environmental impact sand extraction problems associated with its illegal exploitation. The analysis indicates that extracting at a greater rate than which it naturally replenished has adverse conseque...

The interaction between sea and atmosphere has profound effects on the regions climate. Meanwhile, the sea surface temperature is considered as one of the most effective components of water bodies, and the controller of many atmospheric behaviors. Because of the importance of sea surface temperatures effects on atmospheric elements and also given the role of global warming on land and sea surfa...

There are so many excellent review papers describing the principles of C o m p t o n spectrometry that they may be considered almost as a bible for anyone wishing to work in this field. Here I want to quote the book edited by Williams [1], papers by Coope r [2 -4 ] and more recent papers of Mann inen [5] and Sharma [6]. The use of circularly polarized synchrot ron radiat ion to so-called magnet...

Problem: Unsustainable Design Processes for the Built Environment In the coming decades, project teams will design unprecedented numbers of new and renovated buildings and infrastructure, but the design methods used today are for the most part unsustainable -financially, environmentally, and culturally. As resources, such as land, energy, water, and materials become increasingly scarce and the ...
