Balancing culture and strategy: challenges in Brazilian conventional deterrence

The relationship between strategic culture and conventional deterrence has been predominantly examined through cases in which cultural factors reinforce deterrent effectiveness. This article argues that strategic culture can also constrain and fragment deterrence, producing subop...

Hybrid Integral Transform Solution of a Nonlinear Core-Flooding Model with Capillary Pressure and End Effects

Abstract Oil-water displacement in coreflooding experiments is governed by a nonlinear convection-diffusion equation derived from the extended Buckley-Leverett formulation that accounts for capillary pressure effects. When realistic constitutive relations are combined with nonlin...
