prevalence and diversity of non government organizations (ngos) is indicative of social and political maturity in any given society. nowadays, an important concern of ngos is their efforts in how to attract people’s participation in conserving the environment. to promote the participation of these organizations in the environmental conservation, need arises as to determine the factors influen...

We study a scalar conservation law with a nonlinear dissipative inhomogeneity, which serves as a simplified model for nonlinear heat radiation effects in high–temperature gases. We establish global existence and uniqueness of weak entropy solutions along with L contraction and monotonicity properties of the solution semigroup. We derive explicit threshold conditions ensuring formation of shocks...

We consider two physically and mathematically distinct regularization mechanisms of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws. When the flux is convex, the combination of di↵usion and dispersion are known to give rise to monotonic and oscillatory traveling waves that approximate shock waves. The zero-di↵usion limits of these traveling waves are dynamically expanding dispersive shock waves (DSWs). A r...

Conservation tillage (CT) systems have a number of potential benefits including lower crop production costs and the ability to reduce soil erosion that have made them common in several regions of the world. Although CT systems have been researched and successfully implemented on some farms in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), overall adoption is low and the reasons for the region's compara...

The \Conservation Law for Generalization Performance" [ Scha er, 1994 ] states that for any learning algorithm and bias, \generalization is a zero-sum enterprise." In this paper we study the law and show that while the law is true, the manner in which the Conservation Law adds up generalization performance over all target concepts, without regard to the probability with which each concept occur...

this article outlines the questionable role of non-state law that is based on globalization and rise of private law making. proponents of non-state law believe that there are numerous private legislators which make legal rules that govern large groups. the article examines troubled concept of non-state law and its shortcomings and benefits. it considers non-state law by theoretical and empirica...

This paper is concerned with a fluidodynamic model for traffic flow. More precisely, we consider a single conservation law, deduced from conservation of the number of cars, defined on a road network that is a collection of roads with junctions. The evolution problem is underdetermined at junctions, hence we choose to have some fixed rules for the distribution of traffic plus an optimization cri...

nonequilibrium statistical mechanics we focus on nonequilibrium corrections Δs to entropy and energy of the fluid in terms of the nonequilibrium density distribution function, f. We also evaluate coefficients of wave model of heat such as: relaxation time, propagation speed and thermal inertia. With these data a quadratic Lagrangian and a variational principle of Hamilton's type follows for a f...

We present an axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model based on the Kupershtokh et al. multiphase model that is capable of solving liquid-gas density ratios up to 10. Appropriate source terms are added to the lattice Boltzmann evolution equation to fully recover the axisymmetric multiphase conservation equations. We validate the model by showing that a stationary droplet obeys the Young-Laplace law...

applying the variational method, the spinless reduced bethe-salpeter (rbs) equation is solved for the mesonic systems, and the mass spectra are obtained. the method is applied to the hamiltonian with the gaussian and hydrogen-type trial wave functions, and different potential models are examined. the results for the different potentials are in challenge in light mesons, while they are consisten...
