Abstract In this study, the characteristics of heat transfer on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Casson nanofluid over an exponentially accelerated vertical porous plate with rotating effects were investigated. The flow was driven by the combined effects of the magnetic field, heat radiation, heat source/sink and chemical reaction. Copper oxide () and titanium oxide () are acknowledged as nanoparticle materials. The nondimensional governing equations were subjected to the Laplace transformation technique to derive closed-form solutions. Graphical representations are provided to analyze how changes in physical parameters, such as the magnetic field, heat radiation, heat source/sink and chemical reaction, affect the velocity, temperature… More >

Abstract The success of teachers in professional environments has a desirable influence on their mental condition. Simply said, teachers’ professional success plays a crucial role in improving their mental health. Due to the invaluable role of professional success in teachers’ mental health, personal and professional variables helping teachers succeed in their profession need to be uncovered. While the role of teachers’ personal qualities has been well researched, the function of professional variables has remained unknown. To address the existing gap, the current investigation measured the role of two professional variables, namely job satisfaction and loving pedagogy, in Chinese EFL teachers’ professional… More >

Abstract The contents of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in soil-microorganisms-plant significantly affect tea quality by altering the main quality components of tea, such as tea polyphenols, amino acids, and caffeine. However, few studies have quantified the effects of these factors on the main quality components of tea. The study aimed to explore the interactions of C, N, and P in soil-microorganisms-plants and the effects of these factors on the main quality components of tea by using the path analysis method. The results indicated that (1) The contents of C, N, and P in soil, microorganisms, and tea plants… More >

Abstract The steady flow in a Hele-Shaw cell filled with fluids with a high viscosity contrast in the presence of fluid oscillations is experimentally studied. The control of oscillatory dynamics of multiphase systems with interfaces is a challenging technological problem. We consider miscible (water and glycerol) and immiscible (water and high-viscosity silicone oil PMS-1000) fluids under subsonic oscillations perpendicular to the interface. Observations show that the interface shape depends on the amplitude and frequency of oscillations. The interface is undisturbed only in the absence of oscillations. Under small amplitudes, the interface between water and glycerol widens due to mixing. When the… More >

Abstract This study investigates the performance of a natural draft dry cooling tower group in crosswind conditions through numerical analysis. A comprehensive three-dimensional model is developed to analyze the steady-state and dynamic behavior of the towers. The impact of wind speed and direction on heat rejection capacity and flow patterns is examined. Results indicate that crosswinds negatively affect the overall heat transfer capacity, with higher crosswind speeds leading to decreased heat transfer. Notably, wind direction plays a significant role, particularly at 0°. Moreover, tower response time increases with higher crosswind speeds due to increased turbulence and the formation of vortices. The… More >

Abstract The natural convection from a vertical hot plate with radiation and constant flux is studied numerically to know the velocity and temperature distribution characteristics over a vertical hot plate. The governing equations of the natural convection in two-dimension are solved with the implicit finite difference method, whereas the discretized equations are solved with the iterative relaxation method. The results show that the velocity and the temperature increase along the vertical wall. The influence of the radiation parameter in the boundary layer is significant in increasing the velocity and temperature profiles. The velocity profiles increase with the increase of the radiation… More >

Abstract Spatio-temporal (ST) graphs have been used in many application domains to model evolving ST phenomenon. Such models represent the underlying structure of the phenomenon in terms of its entities and different types of spatial interactions between them. The reason behind using graph-based models to represent ST phenomenon is due to the existing well-established graph analysis tools and algorithms which can be directly applied to analyze the phenomenon under consideration. In this paper, considering the use case of two distinct, highly dynamic phenomena - invasive team sports, with a focus on handball and urban road traffic, we propose a spatio-temporal graph… More >

Abstract In recent years, significant effort has been placed into developing automated multi-physics simulation. The exchange of boundary conditions has lead to more realistic as well as more complex simulations with usually slower convergence rate when the coupling is being performed between two different codes. In this paper the equations of local sensitivities for element centered steady-state combined convection, conduction, and thermal radiation problems are being derived. A numerical analysis on the stability of the solution matrix is being conducted. Partial uncertainties and the relative importance of the heat transfer modes are investigated by their uncertainty factors and conclusions are being… More >

Abstract Much like humans focus solely on object movement to understand actions, directing a deep learning model’s attention to the core contexts within videos is crucial for improving video comprehension. In the recent study, Video Masked Auto-Encoder (VideoMAE) employs a pre-training approach with a high ratio of tube masking and reconstruction, effectively mitigating spatial bias due to temporal redundancy in full video frames. This steers the model’s focus toward detailed temporal contexts. However, as the VideoMAE still relies on full video frames during the action recognition stage, it may exhibit a progressive shift in attention towards spatial contexts, deteriorating its ability… More >

Abstract This research examines the transmission dynamics of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 using SEIQI_cRVW and SQIRV models, considering the delay in converting susceptible individuals into infected ones. The significant delays eventually resulted in the pandemic’s containment. To ensure the safety of the host population, this concept integrates quarantine and the COVID-19 vaccine. We investigate the stability of the proposed models. The fundamental reproduction number influences stability conditions. According to our findings, asymptomatic cases considerably impact the prevalence of Omicron infection in the community. The real data of the Omicron variant from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, is used to validate the… More >
