Over a million people in the United States are employed in private security and law enforcement, yet very little is known about the effects of private police on crime. The current study examines the relationship between a privately funded university police force and crime in a large US city. Following an expansion of the jurisdictional boundary of the private police force, we see no short-term ...

The observation of X-ray lines in the afterglow of GRB 011211 has been reported, and challenged. The lines were interpreted as blue-shifted X-rays characteristic of a set of photoionized “metals”, located in a section of a supernova shell illuminated by a GRB emitted a couple of days after the supernova explosion. We show that the most prominent reported lines coincide with the ones predicted i...

In this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving matrix equation $sum_{j=1}^s A_jX_jB_j = E$. This method is based on the global least squares (GL-LSQR) method for solving the linear system of equations with the multiple right hand sides. For applying the GL-LSQR algorithm to solve the above matrix equation, a new linear operator, its adjoint and a new inner product are dened. It is p...

The University is a significant nexus for the development of design for social innovation and sustainability in Australia for the achievement of systemic discontinuity with lasting impact. This argument is presented as a theoretical framework for a doctoral design research project which seeks out design briefs from within the University of Western Sydney, susceptible to the application and adap...

The paper aims to unfold the «internal» content of Gettier’s argument as a skeptical against knowledge in terms answering question: «why he could be right when says what says». Our initial hypothesis is that E. Gettier does not say anything about «accidentality fact Smith has 10 coins his pocket», but uses words «entailment» and «deduction», which substantiates «truth conclusion», on basis attr...

The operation of system wireless power transfer is considered in the paper. System design based on use coupled strip lines. Considered distinguished from known line by coiling lines into spiral. Mentioned approach ensures softening demands mutual positioning elements and it leads to space saving. main attention within paid spurious emission. It was shown negative affect under consideration onto...
