Graphene (GN), a single layer two-dimensional structure nanomaterial, exhibits exceptional physical, electrical and chemical properties that lead to many applications from electronics to biomedicine. The unique parameters of GN, notably its considerable electron mobility, thermal conductivity, high surface area and electrical conductivity, are bringing heightened attention into biomedical appli...

The present paper is aimed at studying the effect of gravity on the general model of the equations of the generalized thermomicrostretch for a homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space solid whose surface is subjected to a Mode-I crack problem. The problem is in the context of the Green and Naghdi theory (GN). The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement ...

A study is made of the propagation of time-harmonic magneto-thermoviscoelastic plane waves in a homogeneous electrically conducting viscoelastic medium of Kelvin-Voigt type permeated by a primary uniform external magnetic field when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. The generalized thermoelasticity theory of type II (Green and Naghdi model) is used to study the propagat...

The creation of identity, in terms of both consumer identity and brand identity, is a core topic in marketing theory. Based on participant ethnography of Yes Edinburgh North & Leith, part of Yes Scotland, the national referendum campaign supporting Scottish independence, this paper explores identity co-creation among three entities: The brand, the individual consumer, and the brand community. T...

Measuring internet traffic related to NNTP protocol (Usenet News) provides vital information needed for optimum news server configuration. However, gathering data is usually restricted to the “local view”, even though in networked environment an overview of the neighbourhood traffic would be more appropriate. This article describes method of gathering such data from remote points and analysing ...

In August 2010 Facebook launched Places, a locationbased service that allows users to check into points of interest and share their physical whereabouts with friends. The friends who see these events in their News Feed can then respond to these check-ins by liking or commenting on them. These data consisting of the places people go and how their friends react to them are a rich, novel dataset. ...

So far, the mainstream policy transfer literature has concentrated on North-North and North–South transfer. Few studies investigate South–North Whenever they do, focus policies that travelled from South America to OECD countries. Africa Middle East remain blind spots in literature. This study addresses this research gap by asking how it was possible for a group of public health experts Iran's h...
