We consider the energy-critical wave maps equation from 1+2 dimensional Minkowski space into 2-sphere, in equivariant case. prove that if a map decomposes, along sequence of times, superposition at most two rescaled harmonic (bubbles) and radiation, then such decomposition holds for continuous time. If equivariance degree equals one or two, we deduce, as consequence sequential soliton resolutio...

The range resolution in conventional continuous time frequency modulation (CTFM) is inversely proportional to the signal bandwidth. The dual-demodulator continuous time frequency modulation (DD-CTFM) processing technique was proposed by Gough et al [1] as a method to increase the range resolution by making the output of DD-CTFM truly continuous. However, it has been found that in practice the r...

There has been lately a number of catastrophic events of landslides and mudslides in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Those were caused by intense rain in localities where there was unplanned occupation of slopes of hills and mountains. Thus, it became imperative creating an inventory of landslide risk areas in densely populated cities. This work presents a way of demarcating r...
