The latest volume in this popular series focuses on the best ways to evaluate and improve the quality of new democratic regimes. The essays in part one elaborate and refine several themes of democratic quality: the rule of law, accountability, freedom, equality, and responsiveness. The second part f...

Tetraplold alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) germplasm, in which two‐thirds of the plants are capable of regeneration from callus tissue in culture, has been developed by recurrent selection. It descends from one ‘DuPuits’ and four ‘Saranac’ clones which regenerated in the cycle 0 population. Frequency ...

We develop a new method for constructing "good" designs for computer experiments. The method derives its power from its basic structure that builds large designs using small designs. We specialize the method for the construction of orthogonal Latin hypercubes and obtain many results along the way. I...

EVERY year, almost one-third of Bangladesh is flooded. However, because of topographical characteristics, the regions of the country experience varied degrees of flooding; some parts may be under deep floodwater, others unaffected. Flooding is beneficial only within certain limits of timing, duratio...

Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications alternating-gradient accelerator (FFA). This will allow experiments to be carried out in vitro and in vivo with proton beam energies of up to 127 MeV. In addition, ion beams with energies up to 33.4 MeV per nucleon will be available for in vi...

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites outside of protected areas that deliver the effective, long-term conservation of biodiversity. Both protected areas and OECMs contribute to the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework’s Target 3, which calls for the conse...

The numerical investigation of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection flow and entropy formation of non-Newtonian Bingham fluid in a lid-driven wavy square cavity filled with nanofluid was investigated by the finite volume method (FVM). The numerical data-based temperature and nanoparticle size...

Abstract 3D printing is known as a fast, inexpensive, reproducible method for producing prototypes but is also fast becoming recognised as a scalable, advanced manufacture process. Two types of lab-scale, 3D printed plastic, fixed-film, flow-through photocatalytic reactors are described, both of whi...

The formation of Mach cones associated with long-wavelength dust-Alfvén waves in Saturn’s dense rings has been theoretically investigated. It is explicitly shown that for typical dusty plasma parameters corresponding to Saturn’s dense rings, Mach cones are only formed by dust-Alfvén waves, which are...

INTRODUCTION: Transforming a health system into a learning one is increasingly recognized as necessary to support the implementation of a national strategic direction on quality with a focus on frontline experience. The approach to a learning system that bridges the gap between practice and policy r...

A transient transport flow model is adopted in a renal bifurcated artery with different stenosis cases to examine the flow phenomena when the non-Newtonian blood flow regime within the three-dimensional space domain is chosen as a pulsatile nature. The nonlinear governing equations are solved using ...

Abstract Southern Asia experiences some of the most damaging climate events in the world, with loss of life from some cyclones in the hundreds of thousands. Despite this, research on climate extremes in the region is substantially lacking compared to other parts of the world. To understand the narra...

Abstract This study presents the numerical solution of velocity and temperature fields based on mass conservation, momentum and energy balances for the time-dependent Couette-Poiseuille flow of Bingham materials through channels. The channel flow of Bingham fluid concerns the flow of cement paste in...

In this paper, laminar flow of non-Newtonian (Bingham) fluid is studied numerically in a two-dimensional lid-driven skewed cavity that incorporates Papanastasiou exponential regularization approach of Bingham constitutive model [Papanastasiou, Flows of materials with yield, J. Rheol. 31 (1987), pp. ...
