The W and Z boson production was measured via the muonic decay channel in proton-lead collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider with the ALICE detector. The measurement covers backward (−4.46 < y cms ...

The aim of this thesis is to discuss some sociotechnical aspects of the Semantic Web’s somewhat, at least so far, seemingly failure to materialize on a larger scale, by using the methodology of Actor-Network Theory and ...

The electric potential distribution around a dust particle immersed in a magnetised supersonic plasma flow is studied by numerical simulations. It is shown that with increasing magnetisation of plasma, the peak in the wake ...

Privacy is often applied as an abstract concept in law and regulations. In everyday life, negotiating what information to share with whom, where, and at what times, and in what situations may be a challenge at home and in ...

WALOP (Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeter)-South, to be mounted on the 1m SAAO telescope in South Africa, is first of the two WALOP instruments currently under development for carrying out the PASIPHAE survey. Scheduled ...

The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance ...

In the Bahi-Manyoni basin in Central Tanzania the geology and climate of the area are the main factors influencing the water chemistry and quality. Most water samples are saturated with respect to quarts, dolomite, calcite, ...

Pharmaceutical formulations intended for treatment of xerostomia (dry mouth) should be able to keep the oral mucosa hydrated for a prolonged period of time. The products already existing on the market contain water-soluble ...

The wave diffraction-radiation problem of a porous geometry of arbitrary shape located in the free surface of a fluid is formulated by a set of integral equations, assuming a linear resistance law at the geometry. The ...
