Surface tension causes the edge of a fluid sheet to retract. If the sheet is also stretched along its edge then the flow and the rate of retraction are modified. A universal similarity solution for the Stokes flow in a ...

Let Ω be a Jordan domain in C, J an open arc of ∂Ω and φ : D → Ω a Riemann map from the open unit disk D onto Ω. Under certain assumptions on φ we prove that if a holomorphic function f ∈ H(Ω) extends continuously on Ω ∪ ...

A Schroedinger equation proposed for the GMP gapped spin-2 mode of fractional Quantum Hall states is found from a novel non-relativistic limit, applicable only in 2+1 dimensions, of the massive spin-2 Fierz-Pauli ...

Janus particles with the ability to move phoretically in self-generated chemical concentration gra- dients are model systems for active matter. Their motion typically consists of straight paths with rotational diffusion ...

Road Accidents are on the rise due to the high amount of migration from the rural area to the urban areas, Urbanization people are now finding it easier to own cars and use it for their day to day activities. Due to that ...

Due to the vast amount of data that is being generated by the sensors through the smart devices in smart cities, streams of data must be processed in real time to gain insight quickly and to make decisions that are in most ...

Energy efficiency is paramount in the quest to achieve sustainable development in the 21st century. Statistics in recent research have shown that in many sectors in any nation’s economy, which include buildings, industries ...

Many studies have shown that smart homes can use energy more efficiently than traditional buildings. Thus, several researchers have advocated building a smart home in order to reduce energy consumption. In the literature, ...

Education is a vital ingredient for a sustainable economy where “knowledge is power”. M- learning initiatives can lessen the digital divide in education and promote a knowledge-based economy. The high saturation of mobile ...

We establish analogues of the mean value theorem and Taylor’s theorem for fractional differential operators defined using a Mittag-Leffler kernel. We formulate a new model for the fractional Boussinesq equation by using ...

Creating a robust, automated capability to respond to natural language requests has been a longstanding goal in the development of intelligent systems. This article describes the StartMobile system, originally developed ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a procedure by which a fracture is initiated and propagates due to pressure (hydraulic loading) applied by a fluid introduced inside the fracture. In this study we focus on a crack driven by an ...

Singular solutions of the Stokes equations play important roles in a variety of fluid dynamics problems. They allow the calculation of exact flows, are the basis of the boundary integral methods used in numerical computations, ...

© 2018 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. Starting from solutions of the lightly bound Skyrme model, we construct many new Skyrmion solutions of the standard Skyrme model with tetrahedral or octahedral ...

Spiral density waves dominate several facets of accretion disc dynamics – planet-disc interactions and gravitational instability (GI) most prominently. Though they have been examined thoroughly in two-dimensional simulations, ...

© 2018 authors. We present results of a lattice QCD calculation of B→D∗ and Bs→Ds∗ axial vector matrix elements with both states at rest. These zero recoil matrix elements provide the normalization necessary to infer a ...

The high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) that punctuate the light curves of X-ray binary systems present a window onto the intrinsic properties of stellar-mass black holes and hence a testbed for general ...

This paper considers the interaction of turbulence with a serrated leading edge. We investigate the noise produced by an aerofoil moving through a turbulent perturbation to uniform flow by considering the scattered pressure ...

This Conversion Masters in Information Technology thesis gathered users' perceptions about eight gaming elements to determine their effectiveness on aspects of playability, enjoyment and intrinsic motivation needed in a ...

This thesis seeks to contribute to the field of learning management system (LMS) development in tertiary educational institutions, particularly to advance the adoption of learning management systems (LMSes) by exploring ...
