Both natural and artificial small-scale swimmers may often self-propel in environments subject to complex geometrical constraints. While most past theoretical work on low-Reynolds number locomotion addressed idealised ...

The increasing number of cyber security breaches have revealed a need for proper cyber security measures. The emergence of the internet and the increase in overall connectivity means that data is more easily accessible and ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has generated a large amount of research interest across a wide variety of technical areas. These include the physical devices themselves, communications among them, and relationships between ...

The application of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in every part of the world today has tremendously improved efficiency and effectiveness regarding security. The use of this technology in the healthcare system ...

Fraud, waste, and abuse in many financial systems are estimated to result in significant losses annually. Predictive analytics offer government and private financial institutions the opportunity to identify, prevent or ...

Cervical cancer is the third major killer disease in developed and developing countries. Whereas screening and other preventive measures reduce the mortality rate in developed countries, mortality rates still remain very ...

In recent times, the rate of growth in information available on the internet has resulted in large amounts of data and an increase in online users. The Recommendation System has been employed to empower users to make ...

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), represent sophisticated and enduring network intrusion campaigns targeting sensitive information from targeted organizations and operating over a long period. These types of threats are ...

Wireless sensor network is application specific, which is deployed in an interested area like about hundred or thousands of sensor nodes. All the sensor nodes communicate via a wireless medium and works cooperatively to ...

After many years of rigorous research and development in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology with numerous responses to innovative applications, WSNs still have some interesting unanswered questions. In this thesis ...

The aim of this paper is to derive and analyze a variational model for the joint estimation of motion and reconstruction of image sequences, which is based on a time-continuous Eulerian motion model. The model can be set ...

© 2017 Cambridge University Press. We consider turbulence in a stratified 'Kolmogorov' flow, driven by horizontal shear in the form of sinusoidal body forcing in the presence of an imposed background linear stable ...

What happens to the most general closed oscillating universes in general relativity? We sketch the development of interest in cyclic universes from the early work of Friedmann and Tolman to modern variations introduced by ...

The six parameters of the standard ΛCDM model have best-fit values derived from the Planck temperature power spectrum that are shifted somewhat from the best-fit values derived from WMAP data. These shifts are driven by ...

Electron tomography bears promise for widespread determination of the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in solids. However, it remains unclear whether methods successful for crystals are optimal for amorphous solids. ...

The study area which is the Niger Delta Province is predominantly an unconsolidated sandstone terrain, the sand grains are friable suggesting the expectation of some geomechanical problems while developing hydrocarbon ...

The use of horizontal wells with zonal isolations is a common completion practice in the oil and gas industry to check for very significant production challenges such as wellbore damage/skin, early water breakthrough and ...

In this study, we present a new analytical solution method that accurately corrects the non-isothermal effects from injection and fall-off tests. The derivative of these solutions is applied to develop the Tiab's Direct ...

Waterflooding is the most dominant secondary oil recovery method and its popularity is mainly due to the general availability of water, the relative ease of injecting water, the ability of water to spread easily through ...
