QUALITATIVE CHANGES IN JAPAN’S POLICY IN THE FIELD OF MILITARY SECURITY IN 2013 by D. V. Streltsov

“…These changes include tightening of the policy towards China, stronger defense policy coordination with the countries concerned with the growth of Beijing's military ambitions, as well as the revision of the basic strategy of defense capacity-building.A special place in Tokyo’s new policy was taken by the moves aimed at revising the Constitution. Constitutional reform is seen in Tokyo as a sort of milestone marking the end of the postwar Japanese history when Japan held the position of the "junior partner" of the United States. …”

The Canis tangle: a systematics overview and taxonomic recommendations by V. Dinets

“…The genus boundaries have to be changed, with two African jackals (C. adustus &amp; C. mesomelas) moved to a separate genus Lupulella. The systematic status of taxa occurring in eastern North America has caused much argument; most recent data indicate that Algonquin (C. lycaon lycaon) and Red (C. l rufus and recently exterminated subspecies) Wolves originate from ancient hybridization and should be considered a separate species, while two other populations are of more recent hybrid origin. …”

On the Convergence of Nonlinear Modes of a Finite Element Model by Ramesh Balagangadhar, Joseph C. Slater

“…However, the finite element modeling method introduces the additional concern of mesh independence, even when the meshing the linear part of the model unless p-type elements are used [4]. The importance of moving to a finite element approach for nonlinear modal analysis is the ability to solve problems of a more complex geometry for which no closed form solution exists. …”
