The World Wide Web has transformed the way in which media companies, sport organisations, and consumers interact. For example, the traditional mediated sport product was once confined within the boundaries of programming, formatting, audience interest, and contractual agreements (Mahan & McDaniel, 2006). Historically communication was typically one-way, disconnecting the consumer from the sport...

In this study, we report the optical properties and carrier dynamics of different surface dimensionality n-type wurtzite InN with various concentrations using photoluminescence (PL) an energy-dependent, time-resolved (ED-TRPL) analysis. Experimental results indicated that morphology can be controlled by growth temperature, from one-dimensional (1D) nanorods to two-dimensional (2D) films. Moreov...

The Indian Ocean has gained prominence in the international geopolitical discourse. It is becoming a showground for major competition between new and existing great powers. Maritime Diplomacy, this regard, valuable instrument averting conflict. range of options available are from cooperative ones to persuasive coercive selection maritime forces. helpful not only those utilizing it but also acad...

Estimates of obesity prevalence based on the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey average almost 40%, corresponding to a 7% increase from the 1999 to 2000 cycle. Similar alarming trajectories are reported worldwide, along with increasing concerns for related health risks. The traditional concept that obesity results from a mere imbalance between energy intake and energy...

Researchers have identified the importance of understanding language teacher identity in order to understand more about language teacher education (Johnston, Pawan, & Mahan-Taylor, 2005; Varghese, Morgan, Johnston, & Johnson, 2005). The role of previous experience in shaping language teacher identity and beliefs and practices has been commented on by many writers (e.g., Crandall, 2000; Freeman ...

In this study, we report the catalyst-free growth of n-type wurtzite InN, along with its optical properties and carrier dynamics different surface dimensionalities. The self-catalyzed epitaxial InN nanorods grown by metal–organic molecular-beam epitaxy on GaN/Al2O3(0001) substrates has been demonstrated. substrate temperature is dominant in controlling nanorods. A dramatic morphological change ...

Many-body phenomena, a key interest in the investigation of bulk solid state systems, are studied here in the context of the x-ray edge problem for mesoscopic systems. We investigate the many-body effects associated with the sudden perturbation following the x-ray excitation of a core electron into the conduction band. For small systems with dimensions at the nanoscale we find considerable devi...

Overview: In the United States, it is estimated the prevalence of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) for children is between three to four percent (Emerson, 2012). Although a considerable number of intervention approaches have been developed for individuals with IDD, it is likely that children with IDD require a unique approach. One promising and strongly supported intervention a...

Electron doping turns semiconductors conductive even when they have wide fundamental band gaps. The degenerate electron gas in the lowest conduction-band states, e.g., of a transparent conducting oxide, drastically modifies the Coulomb interaction between the electrons and, hence, the optical properties close to the absorption edge. We describe these effects by developing an ab initio technique...

Rajbanshis, the descendants of Koches, are living in the Terai and Brahmaputra valley of the eastern Himalaya for thousands of years. This area is a treasure house of biodiversity. Traditionally being settled agriculturist, people under this community have a vast array of knowledge on the uses of plants. They inherit the knowledge of using plants for the treatment of common diseases prevailed i...
