Uniform and high-order discretization schemes for Sturm–Liouville problems via Fer streamers
AGCP Ramos
Aug 07, 2017
The current paper concerns the uniform and high-order discretization of the novel approach to the computation of Sturm–Liouville problems via Fer streamers, put forth in Ramos and Iserles (Numer. Math. 131(3), 541—565 2015). In...
The two-domain elevator-type mechanism of zinc-transporting ZIP proteins.
Zinc is essential for all organisms and yet detrimental at elevated levels. Hence, homeostasis of this metal is tightly regulated. The Zrt/Irt-like proteins (ZIPs) represent the only zinc importers in metazoans. Mutations in...
Conversion of Indigenous People in the Peruvian Andes
Gabriela Ramos
Jan 21, 2016
Historical and anthropological approaches to conversion in the Andes have often been influenced by political attitudes toward the effects of Spanish colonialism, both in the Andean past and in contemporary society. The...
A New Learning Path Model for E-Learning Systems
This work presents a new approach to the learning path model in e-learning systems. The model uses data from the database records from an e-learning system and uses graphs as representation. In this work, the authors show how...
Service Quality in Spectator Sports

Although service quality in spectator sports has been subject to extensive research, comprehensive studies mapping the intellectual structure and foundations of service quality in spectator sports are scant. The purpose of...

Airline environmental sustainability actions and CSR impact on customer behavior
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are growing concerns among passengers and airlines. However, the communication of such actions by airline companies is underexplored. Accordingly, this study aims to...
Argumentation Skills for the Design of Formative Assessment Queries
This chapter surveys the benefits of critical and argument skills in bilingual pre-service teachers' future careers for assessment pursuits. It also examines how informal logic for pedagogical purposes is scarcely considered in...

Overview of Energy Management and Leakage Control Systems for Smart Water Grids and Digital Water
Current and future smart cities are moving towards the zero-net energy use concept. To this end, the built environment should also be designed for efficient energy use and play a significant role in the production of...
Seismic Evaluation of a Profile of Volcanic Ash From the South American Andes
Although soils derived from volcanic ash are only a small portion of the soils that cover the world's surface, cities have developed on some of these soils. This makes their study interesting, especially since soils derived from...
Zero-net energy management for the monitoring and control of dynamically-partitioned smart water systems

The optimal and sustainable management of water distribution systems still represent an arduous task. In many instances, especially in aging water net-works, pressure management is imperative for reducing breakages and...
