Sheil-Small proved ([2, Corollary 5.8]) that for any complex-valued and sense-preserving injective harmonic mapping in the unit disk , if is a convex domain, then the inequality |G(z_2)-G(z_1)| < |H(z_2)- H(z_1)| holds for all distinct points .

We extend this inequality by replacing the unit disk by an arbitrary nonempty domain in and improve it provided is additionally a quasiconformal mapping in

“Staging the Last Stand: The Politics of Aben Humeya in Richard Lalor Sheil and Francisco Martínez de la Rosa”
No full textDealing with an Irish and a Spanish playwright and two dramas staged thirteen years apart in London and Paris respectively, this essay experiments with a comparative reading of parallel texts in order to gauge its potential for insights in the context of Romantic-era Anglo-Hispanic studies. The two authors—Richard Lalor Sheil and Francisco Martínez de la Rosa—were representatives of a political and literary-cultural liberal internationale in the post-Waterloo years. Their plays on Aben Humeya, the leader of the morisco rebellion of 1568–71 (The Apostate, 1817, and Aben Humeya, o la rebelión de los moriscos, 1830), proceed from this ideological background and trans- national web of cultural exchanges and literary developments. While examining the parallels and divergences in their treatments of this material, this essay also provides further evidence of how the Spanish-Moorish imaginary constituted a powerful clus- ter of thematic and ideological faultlines crossing European literatures between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a rich quarry of stories and histories associated with ‘hot chronologies’ (most notably, the conquest of Granada in 1492) and available for allusive, coded inscriptions of current concerns
Why Does Air Passage over Forest Yield More Rain? Examining the Coupling between Rainfall, Pressure, and Atmospheric Moisture Content*

No full textIntegral transforms for logharmonic mappings
No full textBieberbach's conjecture was very important in the development of geometric function theory, not only because of the result itself, but also due to the large amount of methods that have been developed in search of its proof. It is in this context that the integral transformations of the type f(alpha)(z) = integral(z)(0)(f(zeta)/zeta)(alpha)d zeta or F-alpha(z) = integral(z)(0)(f '(zeta))(alpha)d zeta appear. In this note we extend the classical problem of finding the values of alpha is an element of C for which either f(alpha) or F-alpha are univalent, whenever f belongs to some subclasses of univalent mappings in D, to the case of logharmonic mappings by considering the extension of the shear construction introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in (Clunie and Sheil-Small in Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Ser. A I 9:3-25, 1984) to this new scenario
Falling back on forests: How forest-dwelling people cope with catastrophe in a changing landscape. International Forestry Review 13(4):442–55
No full textSUMMARY How do tropical forest people cope with natural disasters? We worked with four communities in East Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia, before and after a catastrophic flood. We interviewed 42 of 102 heads of households affected by the floods. All 42 households suffered some major loss of property -crops, lands, houses, and/or livestock. Each household adopted one or more coping strategies: increasing their reliance on forest resources; seeking paid employment; relocating their houses; and finding temporary land to establish their crops in upland areas. Immediate reliance on the forest was greatest for those most heavily impacted, the poorest, the least well educated, and those with the easiest access. Overall, those with the fewest resources and alternatives made most use of the forest. But access to such forest benefits is becoming increasingly difficult. The often crucial value of forests to local forest-dwellers needs to be better recognized in the context of current developments. These forest derived safety-values should be maintained or -where necessary -substituted. Keywords: flood, coping strategies, subsistence, forest-dependent people, reliance on forest Retour vers la forêt: comment les habitants de la forêt s'adaptent aux catastrophes dans un paysage changeant N. LISWANTI, D. SHEIL, I. BASUKI, M, PADMANABA et G. MULCAHY Comment les habitants des forêts tropicales s'adaptent-ils aux catastrophes naturelles? Nous avons travaillé auprès de quatre communautés dans le Kalimantan de l'est, à Bornéo, en Indonésie, avant et après une inondation catastrophique. Nous avons interviewé 42 des 102 têtes des foyers affectés par l'inondation. Chacun de ces 42 foyers avaient souffert une perte majeure de leur propriété-récolte, terres, habitations et/ou bétail. Chaque foyer a adopté une ou plusieurs stratégies pour faire face au drame, en accroissant leur dépendance sur les ressources forestières, en recherchant un emploi rénuméré, en changeant l'emplacement de leur habitation, et en trouvant un terrain temporaire pour établir leur cultures dans les terres élevées. La dépendance immédiate de la forêt était la plus importante chez les personnes les plus touchées, les plus démunies, les moins éduquées, et celles possédant l'accès le plus abordable. En résumé, les personnes possédant le moins de ressources et d'alternatives utilisèrent la forêt le plus fortement. Mais, l'accès à de tels bénéfices forestiers devient de plus en plus difficile. Il est nécessaire que la valeur souvent cruciale des forêts pour les habitants locaux de la forêt soit mieux reconnue dans le contexte des développements actuels. Ces valeurs de sécurité dérivées de la forêt devraient être maintenues, ou substituées si nécessaire. Recurrir al bosque: cómo se se enfrentan los habitantes del bosque a las catástrofes en un paisaje en evolución N. LISWANTI, D. SHEIL, I. BASUKI, M. PADMANABA y G. MULCAHY ¿Cómo se enfrentan los habitantes del bosque tropical a los desastres naturales? Trabajamos con cuatro comunidades de Kalimantán oriental (Borneo), Indonesia, antes y después de unas inundaciones catastróficas. Entrevistamos a 42 de un total de 102 cabezas de familias afectadas por las inundaciones. Todas y cada una de las 42 familias sufrieron pérdidas económicas -cultivos, tierras, vivienda, y/o ganado. Cada familia adoptó una o más estrategias para salir adelante: aumentaron su dependencia de los recursos del bosque; buscaron empleo remunerado; trasladaron su vivienda; o encontraron tierras temporalmente donde establecer sus cultivos en zonas más elevadas. La dependencia inmediata del bosque fue mayor para quienes sufrieron un mayor impacto, los más pobres, aquellos con menor educación, y quienes disponían de un acceso al bosque más fácil. En general, quienes hicieron un mayor uso del bosque fueron quienes tenían menos recursos. Sin embargo, el acceso a los beneficios del bosque está siendo cada vez más difícil. Es importante que se reconozca el valor de los bosques, que a menudo es crucial para los habitantes locales del mismo, dentro del contexto de desarrollo actual. Estos valores del bosque que ofrecen una red de seguridad deberían ser conservados o -si es necesario-incluso reemplazados
