12 This paper presents a literature review of all quantitative (statistical) studies of compliance with EU law. The paper introduces and makes use of a new online database http://www.eif.oeaw.ac.at/implementation/ which presents a detailed and comprehensive overview and classification of the existing quantitative research on transposition and implementation of EU directives in the member states...

The Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection project was a unique collaborative venture between staff and students at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) and their Chancellor, the British fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes. Working within the designer’s private studio space, this initiative has developed the first digital record of her personal collection of garments and drawings, ...

In this paper a solar sail magnetotail mission concept was examined. The 43 m square solar sail is used to provide the required propulsion for continuous Sun-synchronous apse-line precession. The main driver in this mission was found to be the reduction of launch mass and mission cost while enabling a nominal duration of 2 years within the framework of a demonstration mission. It was found that...

We conduct a randomized evaluation to assess the causal effect of distance on children’s academic participation and performance. Using a sample of 31 villages and over 1,500 children in rural northwestern Afghanistan, we randomly assign 13 villages to receive a community-based school. The program significantly increases enrollment and test scores amongst all children and dramatically improves t...

This work is concerned with stability and receptivity analysis as well as studies on control of the laminar-turbulent transition in boundary-layer flows through direct numerical simulations. Various flow configurations, both twoand threedimensional boundary layers, are considered to address flow around straight and swept wings. The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of...

The most important phase of crown growth in the primary dentition is completed during the foetal period. Lower central incisors often show the cervical edge of the enamel and the beginning of root growth at term. Disturbances of foetal dental growth are rarely apparent; most of the hypoplasias seen on the teeth arise during the neonatal period (Massler and Schour, 1946). The commonest disturban...

The steady two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian Walters' B' fluid with slip is studied. The fluid impinges on the wall either orthogonally or obliquely. A finite difference technique is employed to obtain solutions. 1. Introduction. Some rheologically complex fluids such as polymer solutions, blood, paints, and certain oils cannot be adequately described by the Navier-Stokes...
