In the social discourses of climate change, women are perceived both as vulnerable victims and active players in adaptation. These perceptions along with inclusion policies have led change adaptation programs to seek women’s participation. However, ‘women’ is not a homogenous category. Intra-gender power differences terms castes ethnicities can play an important role, especially Nepal its long ...

The multi-homogenous homotopy continuation method can solve all isolated solutions of polynomial systems. Different variable partition yields different multi-homogenous Bézout number, which gives the upper bound of the number of isolated solutions. However, the computation of the multi-homogenous Bézout number is hard. In this paper, the permanent formulation of the multi-homogenous Bézout numb...

This paper asserts that the software engineering (SE) research literature describes open source software development (OSSD) as a homogenous phenomenon. Through a discourse analysis of the SE research literature on OSSD, it is argued that the view of OSSD as a homogenous phenomenon is not grounded in empirical evidence. Rather, it emerges from key assumptions held within the SE research discipli...

The relationship between weight asymmetry and aggression when mixing groups of unacquainted pigs in two different environments was investigated. Ten groups of 4 female (LandracexYorkshire), unacquainted pigs with a weight asymmetry of 3.1+/-0.2 kg (mean weight: 16.6+/-0.6 kg) between each pig, and another 10 groups with a weight asymmetry of 1.2+/-0.1 kg (mean weight: 14.1+/-0.1 kg), were mixed...

Optical inspection of a thick layer of granules for foreign particles does not directly reveal their true number and the more so if the layer is not homogenous. This raises questions such as “how do I know if the layer is homogenous?” and “what is the relation between the observable particles and the true number?” In this work a theory is proposed for granules with a minority of flat plates tha...
