Envisioning the airport’s expanding relevance as a hub for passenger movement and its immediate ancillaries focal point inducing growth that embraces enormous conurbations associated services, this paper seeks to identify factors likely impact regions surrounding airport, especially from viewpoint of planning development. The rationale focusing on these areas is determine change in landside con...

fossil fuel reserves is causing major changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and associated climate change. Clearly, this is an untenable situation and alternative renewable energy sources must be found. The concept of harvesting the sun’s energy to create electrical power is an obvious answer and the principles of ‘photovoltaics’ (PV) (the direct conversion of ‘photons to volts’) have been demo...

166.6-MHz superconducting cavities have been chosen for the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) as main accelerating structures to provide 900 kW of beam power and 5.4 MV voltage. A proof-of-principle cavity adopting quarter-wave beta = 1 geometry was previously developed. Excellent performance achieved in vertical tests at cryogenic temperatures. The later welded with a helium jacket, dressed cou...

Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horizon. As documented not only in the CALICO Journal over its 25-year history but also in other scholarly venues, research has demonstrated the value of CALL. Nevertheless, despite the fact that textbook publishers expend signifi...

Microvalves are critical in the operation of integrated microfluidic chips for a wide range of applications. In this paper, we present an analytical model to guide the design of electrostatic microvalves that can be integrated into microfluidic chips using standard fabrication processes and can reliably operate at low actuation potentials (<250 V). Based on the analytical model, we identify des...

Inference concerning the correlation coefficient of two random variables from the bivariate normal distribution has been investigated by many authors. In particular, Fisher [1915. Frequency distribution of the values of the correlation coefficient in samples from an indefinitely large population. Biometrika 10, 507–521] and Hotelling [1953. New light on the correlation coefficient and its trans...

suspended solids % mixed juice levels encountered at diffuser A cane diffuser is a fairly efficient filter, retaining within the bagasse bed much of the suspended material that would otherwise pass into the draft juice. It was decided to investigate the possibility of utilising this filtration capability further by recycling the mud (underflow) from the juice clarification station to the diffus...

Rapid population growth and economic prosperity among other factors are exacerbating existing water stress in the east southeast regions of England, hence, sector is increasingly shifting focus from expansion sources increased abstraction to demand-side management (DSM) strategies aimed at improving household efficiency reducing per capita consumption. A crucial component DSM strategy a good un...

Abstract The conditionality principle C plays a key role in attempts to characterize the concept of statistical evidence. standard version considers model and derived conditional model, formed by conditioning on an ancillary statistic for together with data, be equivalent respect their evidence content. This equivalence is considered hold any but creates two problems. First, there can more than...
