Sub-Saharan Africa falls among the developing countries with poor standards of living contributing to the high prevalence of malnutrition.Interventions have been conducted, but malnutrition continues to linger, with devastating impacts on vulnerable groups.In Africa, 90% of its children cannot access the minimum balanced diet.Also, 60% of the peopl
Force oscillations distort avalanche shapes
Contradictory scaling behavior in experiments testing the principle of universality may be due to external oscillations.Thus, the effect of damped oscillatory external forces on slip avalanches in slowly deformed solids is simulated using a mean-field model.Akin to a Full Coverlet Set resonance effect, oscillatory driving forces change the dynamics
Multidisciplinary and Historical Perspectives for Developing Intelligent and Resource-Efficient Systems
As communication and computation systems become more complex and target at higher performance, the fundamental limits of nature can be expected to constrain their development and optimization.This calls for intelligent use of basic resources, that is, materials, energy, information, time, frequency, and space.We present a multidisciplinary and hist
MILD combustion characteristics of a premixed CH4/air jet flame in hot coflow from a bluff-body burner
This numerical study is designated to comparatively investigate premixed CH4/air jet Disinfectant flames from bluff-body (BB) and non-BB (NBB) burners in the coflow of hot exhaust gas.Specifically, traditional combustion (TC) from BB burner (BB-TC), MILD combustion (MC) from BB burner (BB-MC), and NBB burner (NBB-MC) under varying coflow temperatur
