Holocene sea level change in the northern Indian Ocean was studied using geochemical and geophysical approaches. Molluscs were sub-sampled for radiocarbon dating from sediment cores retrieved from a south Sri Lankan ...

The design and hardware implementation of a lowcomplexity signal processing algorithm is proposed for real-time depth-velocity filtering in 5-D light field videos (LFVs). The proposed design is based on a stable 5-D ...

Many cities around the world face frequent problems with flooding, which is expected to get worse due to anthropogenic climate change and further urbanization. To tackle these problems often local infrastructural adaptation ...

Coal matrix swelling caused by the adsorption of CO2 during the CO2-ECBM process is the major reason for the decline of coal permeability and CO2 injectivity. Measures to recover this permeability reduction are of significant ...

The development of nanofluid as an innovative class of thermal fluid subsequently inspired use in their engineering applications. As a result, the necessity of experimental work to determine the thermophysical properties ...

Intelligent robot companions contribute signi cantly in improving living standards in the modern society. Therefore, human-like decision making skills are sought after during the design of such robots. On the one hand, ...

Purpose The objective of this paper is to examine the continuing debate over the nature, scope and definition of facilities management and the implications of FM practice in the field of outsourcing for the development ...

Front-end decisions focus on identifying the best approaches and conceptual ideas for a successful innovation process that would yield greater benefits from proposed financial investments. Hence, they are considered as ...

The OER movement has empowered researchers and educators to become more innovative in their teaching and learning, through the openness and flexibility. The use and adaptation of OER have been recommended as a very ...

A one-dimensional (1D) piezoelectric BaTiO3(BT) polycrystal with a tetragonal system was controllably prepared using a one-step hydrothermal soft chemical process. A layered H2Ti4O9·H2O (HTO) single crystal was used as the ...
