Some New Traveling Wave Exact Solutions of the (2+1)-Dimensional Boiti-Leon-Pempinelli Equations by Jian-ming Qi, Fu Zhang, Wen-jun Yuan, Zi-feng Huang

“…Our results show that all rational and simply periodic traveling wave exact solutions of the equations (BLP) are solitary wave solutions, the complex method is simpler than other methods, and there exist some rational solutions ur,2(z) and simply periodic solutions us,2–6(z) which are not only new but also not degenerated successively by the elliptic function solutions. We believe that this method should play an important role for finding exact solutions in the mathematical physics. …”

The Determinants of Brazilian Football Clubs’ Debt Ratios by Marke Geisy da Silva Dantas, Raimundo Marciano de Freitas Neto, Maria Alice Alves da Costa, Alexandro Barbosa

“…Our results suggest that debt ratios are more associated with their popularity or their participation in the highest division of its main championship rather than titles held, access to different competitions or relegation to lower levels. We believe that our findings may be useful for both practitioners, who might know the impact of their sports-related choices in their clubs’ debts, and policymakers, that could prepare differentiated policies for specific groups (e.g divisions).…”

CORRECTION OPTIMIZATION ON DAMAGE CONSTITUTIVE MODEL BASED ON D-P CRITERION by ZHAO Pan, WU KaiSong, WU Bo, XI QinYang

“…Currently,the damage constitutive model based on D-P（Drucker-Prager） criterion of rock has occupied dominant position in the field of damage constitutive model of rock.its advantages have become increasingly prominent.This paper mainly analyzes the results of the experimental data based on Drucker-Prager Criterion and finds some fatal errors.Poisson’ratio is key factor in it.Poisson’ratio of rock is variable value from the experimental observation.Since the Poisson’s ratio is used in the full damage constitutive model,We propose a new conception of"quasi-poisson’ratio",derived the formula of quasiPoisson’s ratio and introduce it to the constitutive model of rock based on Drucker-Prager Criterion in order to revise it.The new modified model is a new breakthrough for numerical analysis and software application.We believe the conception of "QuasiPoisson’Ratio"will lead to many aspects of the improvements in rock mechanics and has long-term meanings.…”

Las montañas como regiones. La Sierra de El Cuale (Jalisco) en el Occidente de México by Carlos Riojas

“…If we consider the multiple dimensions of regional development in Mexico, specifically the territorial and ecological impact in the Central Western region of the country, much of it resulting from pressure brought to bear on the natural resources in the context of economic and institutional reform implemented during the last two decades of the 20th century, we believe that the fundamental conclusion to be drawn is that programs must be developed with a firm commitment to ecological, economic and social sustainability in critical zones, and these programs must propose solid mechanisms of cooperation between the public, private and social sectors in order to come up with comprehensive solutions.…”
