This paper provides a synthesis of works on relationship between governance and integrity in climate regime and develops recommendations for the policy planners to address the issues in climate regime with special emphasis on the developing nations such as Bangladesh which are more vulnerable to the climate change. The methodology involves analyzing historical data, review of scientific finding...

We investigate the properties of new scalar XB, XD and axial-vector XB * , XD * mesons, which are recently predicted, in the covariant meson-classification scheme, to exist as the partners of ground-state pseudoscalar B, D and vector B * , D * mesons, respectively, realizing a linear representation of chiral symmetry for the light quark component in heavy-light-quark meson system. The mass spli...

It is shown that mutual trapping of the fundamental and second-harmonic waves in a dispersive medium with quadratic nonlinearity supports a variety of solitary waves including bright and dark solitons, solitons with trapped radiation, stable bound states of two (or more) solitons. The results are demonstrated for parametric interactions in optical ,$*I materials but can be generalized to other ...

The form factors for the weak currents between B and light mesons are studied by relating them to the corresponding D form factors at q max according to HQET, by evaluating them at q = 0 by QCD sum rules, and by assuming a polar q dependence. The results found are consistent with the information obtained from exclusive non-leptonic two-body decays and, with the only exception of A1, with lattic...

Heavy metal (HM) contamination and accumulation is a serious problem around the world due to the toxicity, abundant sources, non-biodegradable properties, and accumulative behaviour of HMs. The degree of soil HM contamination in China, especially in the Yangtze River Delta, is prominent. In this study, 1822 pairs of soil and crop samples at corresponding locations were collected from the southe...

Malaria is endemic in the entire northeastern region comprising of 7 states. P. falciparum is the most predominant species. P. falciparum has become resistant to chloroquine (CQ) and sulphadoxine pyremethamine (SP) drugs. The principal vectors viz. An. baimaii (formerly species D of An. dirus complex), An. minimus and An. fluviatilis are highly efficient in malaria transmission with exophilic a...

A matemática é vista, às vezes, como algo inatingível, de difícil aplicação e que apenas os “gênios” conseguem compreender. Não incomum se ouvir pessoas relatarem situações diversas, por vezes envolvendo receio, dificuldade, ou mesmo facilidade, em lidar com a matemática. Na área da educação trata, conforme sabido, um dos temas mais desafiadores para trabalhar quando o assunto pauta são as difi...

In Durán, Ecuador, newly urbanized areas provide distinct housing qualities (HQs) that may impact Aedes aegypti behavior. We defined HQ by the type of construction material of the house. Moreover, there are numerous abandoned vegetated lots (VL) providing mosquito-vectors with resting and sugar-feeding habitats. We aim to estimate proportions of Ae. aegypti female mosquitoes that sugar-feed in ...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze relationship patterns between headquarters and subsidiaries of Brazilian Multinationals Enterprises (BrMNEs). The key construct for that investigation is Subsidiary Initiative, which comprises Subsidiary Entrepreneurial Orientation, Autonomy, Integration, Local Competitive Context and Business Network. A survey was carried out in a sample of 65 subsidiari...
