Throughout the Western Balkans a range of international actors have been involved in the comprehensive reconstruction of polities, economies and societies ravaged by the violent conflicts and political turmoil of the 1990s. ...

The Bunter Sandstone formation in the UK’s southern North Sea has been identified as having the potential to store large volumes of CO2. Prior to injection, CO2 is captured with certain amounts of impurities, usually less ...

A series of three-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations are conducted to investigate the formation and oscillation of stall cells over a NACA 0012 aerofoil. The simulations are conducted ...

Smartphones and tablets are becoming ubiquitous within our connected lives and as a result these devices are increasingly being used for more and more sensitive applications, such as banking. The security of the information ...

The 3-D automatic target recognition (ATR) has many advantages over its 2-D counterpart, but there are several constraints in the context of small low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These limitations include the ...

Operating systems such as Windows 7 implement a thumbnail cache structure to store visual thumbnails and associated metadata. There is no standard implementation of a thumbnail cache or its functions, which has led developers ...

Oral bioaccessibility and solid phase distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTE) from extractive waste streams were investigated to assess the potential human health risk posed by abandoned mines. The solid phase ...

The goal of this work is to characterize the effect of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuator on the lift and drag coefficients generated by the flow around a NACA 4415 airfoil model using force-balance and ...

In this paper, we focus on investing in U.S. high‐yield bonds during the period 2007–2013, a period that covers the Great Recession in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007–2008. First, we use the Fama and ...

Agroforestry systems are known to provide ecosystem services which differ in quantity and quality from conventional agricultural practices and could enhance rural landscapes. In this study we compared ecosystem services ...
