The eight months of data acquired by the POLDER instrument have now been processed. This dataset provides daily information on the global distribution of cloud top phase. We present here the results of a statistical analysis of ice and liquid phase occurrence frequencies at the global scale. Temporal variation of these frequencies above land and ocean are analyzed. These results are compared wi...

Abstract Ambitions for India to enact the role of vishwaguru or ‘world teacher’ are a conspicuous feature foreign policy discourse under contemporary Hindu nationalist rule in India. This discourse, and India's foreign-policy practice, engage international realm with puzzling intensity given nationalism's inward-looking exclusionary emphasis on majoritarian cultural unity. In this article, I le...

a function $f:v(g)rightarrow {-1,0,1}$ is a {em minusdominating function} if for every vertex $vin v(g)$, $sum_{uinn[v]}f(u)ge 1$. a minus dominating function $f$ of $g$ is calleda {em global minus dominating function} if $f$ is also a minusdominating function of the complement $overline{g}$ of $g$. the{em global minus domination number} $gamma_{g}^-(g)$ of $g$ isdefined as $gamma_{g}^-(g)=min{...

The computer simulation control problem can be splitted in two parts namely a local control problem and a global control problem The local control de nes the behavior of each object while the global control is responsible for the interactions among the objects In this paper we propose an event oriented scheme to solve the global control problem using concepts related to DEDS Discrete Event Dyna...

This article explores how literature can sensitise us to our potential implication in the injustice and violence of global border regime. The borders today sustains a large economic political system that “produces precarity disposability, exposes migrants refugees harm exploitation, reinforces inequalities”. While it manifests itself direct events, policies, actions, produced by regime is struc...

This article explores internal border controls in 1980s Britain, examining how they were conceptualised and resisted by a group of activists, the No Pass Laws Here! Group. Drawing on archival research conducted at Hull History Centre Institute Race Relations focusing analysis Group’s public-facing information leaflets bulletins, this created differentiated access to employment welfare state, ta...

This document introduces the R package BGVAR to estimate Bayesian global vector autoregressions (GVAR) with shrinkage priors and stochastic volatility. The treatment of GVARs allows include large information sets by mitigating issues related overfitting. often improves inference as well out-of-sample forecasts. Computational efficiency is achieved using C++ considerably speed up time-consuming ...

Despite more than 300 years since its first scientific description, the phenomenon of electrophonic sounds from meteors are still eluding complete physical explanation. According to the accepted knowledge, the sound itself is created by strong electric fields on the ground induced by the meteor. Nonetheless, there is no convincing theory that can fully explain how a meteor can generate such a s...
