Scaled experimentation is an important experimental approach for the investigation of complex systems. Unfortunately, scaling suffers scale effects, where changes in behaviour with can be so significant to undermine any scaled investigation. The state-of-the-art remains dimensional analysis, which unfortunately offers no solution effects and consequently experiments although provide only limite...

this paper presents pluralism as a historical process. the term pluralism frequently appears not only in the field of political philosophy but also in social sciences. in one sense, the growing literature is stimulating and enriching, nevertheless the abundance of material attempting to explain the various interpretations of pluralist theory can be convoluted and overwhelming. despite the const...

Dropsy one most ugly difficult diseases aquarium Almost all types can be infected with this disease, which unfortunately leads to death 99% cases. This diseas...

In this paper, we start from a very natural system of cross-diffusion equations, which can be seen as gradient flow for the Wasserstein distance certain functional. Unfortunately, is not well-posed, consequence fact that underlying functional lower semi-continuous. We then consider relaxation functional, and prove existence solution in suitable sense (the relaxed functional). This has also stru...

Abstract Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) brings the possibility to manufacture innovative near-net-shape part designs. But unfortunately, some designed surfaces suffer from rough surface finish due characteristics of LPBF process. This paper explores trends in managing roughness and through a space industry case study, proposed process that uses Additive Manufacturing Design Artefacts (AMDAs) is...

Abstract As a transport mode available to everyone and most abled-bodied urban residents, walking is, actually, the equitable of transport. Walking brings several benefits inhabitants among money savings health improvement. Unfortunately, despite its benefits, is not priority in planning agenda some cities, especially Global South. Walkability conditions areas these cities are particularly frie...

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of anabolic-androgenic steroids may influence the hypothalamic- pituitary-testis axis, which can in turn affect testicular apopto...
