One of the main problems of classical mechanics is that of turbulent fluid flow. The reason for this is that there is the presence of thin no-slip boundary which requires a lot of meshpoints in order for the solution to be arrived. There is a research which has been arrived and researched upon which shows that with the use of slip boundary condition to be the model for friction to be achieved for the small skin, there is the possibility for predictive simulation for mean quantities. An example of such mean quantities is the drag and lift turbulent flow Continue reading...

- Introduction
“Change is inevitable” as most researchers and scholars argues. Organizations need to align the respective changes within their operational policy through a set dynamic framework. Failure of the organization to implement a dynamic framework to align or address the respective changes is likely to have marginal implications hence the need for planned organizational change (Gerhardt, 2004). The planned organizational change is termed as the process which moves organizations from a present state to a more desirable future state in relation to enhancing the organizational effectiveness. Through the different frameworks and models, organizations are able to conduct organizational Continue reading...

Graph Theory Assignment

- The sum of the degrees of all vertices of the graph = (2x3) + (6x4) = 30
- The edges in this graph are: AC, AF, AD, AB, CF, CD, BD, BF, BE, DH, EG, EH, FG, FH and GH. Therefore the total number of edges = 15
- Relationship between the sum of degrees of vertices and the number of edges in the graph:
Sum of degrees of vertices = 2 (number of edges)
2)
- No. An Euler path does not exist for a graph with more than 2 odd vertices, by Euler’s Theorem. The explanation is as follows: Assume Continue reading...

Applications of Artificial Intelligence

An automatic car number-plate recognition system can be used successfully to identify the vehicles passing by a particular location and hence recognize their owners. In the given situation, this system needs to be used to identify vehicles entering and leaving a proposed congestion charge area in Southampton. This can be achieved with the help of a camera for taking images of the vehicle as it passes into the zone. Thereafter, using software those images can be processed and compared with the already existing records for identification and recognition.
For the identification process it is necessary to have an understanding Continue reading...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ethernet has been termed as the most ubiquitous networking interface in the world. Almost all traffic passes through multiple Ethernet links. The point is that majority of the Ethernet links spend time while idle waiting between packets of data transfer, but consuming power at a near constant rate. In fact, on average, 10% of all IT power is consumed by network devices and network interfaces translating to tens of TeraWatts hour per year. A solution lies in the design of green networks which consume minimal power while idle without losing their functionality. In this research paper, Energy Efficient Ethernet Continue reading...

Introduction

System of road network is needed for any developed country and it is a vital part for infrastructure development.
Main subjects of this study are pavement defects such as alligator cracking, bleedings and potholes. Such pavement distress as potholes and alligator cracking cause serious negative effects and decrease the lifespan of pavement. Additionally, the safety on road is questioned due to bleedings of pavement since the friction between car and pavement significantly decreases, meaning that the braking path increases. This study is concentrated on studying three Continue reading...

- Introduction
Defining civil disobedience is not something that can be considered as easy, just as most scholars would agree. It is a concept that harbours various interpretations making it difficult for one single definition to define exactly what the concept is. However, for clarity purposes, civil disobedience can be defined as a deliberate, public and nonviolent act that is unlawful whereby the culprit/s accepts responsibility and punishment (Camus 52). It is a nonviolent protest aimed at alleviating some injustice, often with an appeal to some higher principle of law. Rebellion, on the other hand, can be defined to Continue reading...

Among the four principles of ethics, beneficence is considered as the most important. Non-maleficence, justice and then autonomy, in that order, then follow it. This is because beneficence is a key pillar of ethics in health that considers the patient as the centre of attention (Morrison E. & Furlong B. 2014). The care given should purely focus on the maximum satisfaction of the patient. Since the patient is the centre of attention, as much benefit as possible of the health care provided will thus derived from the health care model (Pozgar G. 2011). If all the health care services provided Continue reading...

The exterior of the Metropolitan along 5th Avenue is a wide plaza with small areas with greenery, fountain and places to sit and relax. The plaza is being renovated so the usual effect of the large plaza leading into the well lit and airy lobby was not one hundred percent but it could still be felt. The two areas, internal and external seemed connected and moving for one space to the other seemed perfectly natural. The lobby/front hallway of the interior of the museum was so open and airy I felt very small and that the design was made Continue reading...
