Chemical reaction effect on MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over a vertical stretching sheet with heat source/sink

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2018
The present paper intended to analyze the effect of thermal diffusion (Soret) and diffusion-thermo (Dufour) effect on MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over a porous vertical stretching sheet subject to variable magnetic field embedded in a porous medium in ...

Soret and Dufour effects in hot and dense QCD matter

open access: yesPhysical Review D
The gradients act as invisible engines of transport, converting microscopic imbalances into macroscopic flows and, thus, providing deep insights into the dynamics of physical systems. Thermal gradients do not merely drive the flow of heat, but they also set the microscopic constituents of the system into motion.

Contrasting mechanisms driving the northward expansion of African raptors in Europe

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Recent climate warming and landscape changes are enabling African raptors to reach Europe through contrasting mechanisms. Using species distribution models, we show that the Atlas Long‐legged Buzzard expands northward following climatic suitability, whereas African vultures reach Europe despite low climatic favourability through socially mediated ...

Thermosolutal Marangoni boundary layer magnetohydrodynamic flow with the Soret and Dufour effects past a vertical flat plate

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2015
A numerical study of laminar magnetohydrodynamic thermosolutal Marangoni convection along a vertical surface in the presence of the Soret and Dufour effects has been performed.

Soret and Dufour Effects on the Flow of Spilled Oil in the Soil

open access: yesInternational Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering, 2019
Study about the movement of oil flow describing the transport of hydrocarbons dissolved in the water on soil are considered including the effects of viscous and Darcy dissipation, energy flux caused by both temperature gradient and concentration gradient on the unsteady convective heat and mass transfer in the subsurface. The resulting fluid flow, heat

The Form of Agency

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

The Heterogeneous Regional Employment Effects of Environmental Policies

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Environmental Policies—measured by the OECD Environmental Policy Stringency Index (EPS)—on employment in 349 regions across 26 countries from 1990 to 2020. We find that more stringent EPS have short‐term negative effects on regional employment, which disappear in the medium term.

The Discovery of the Most Metal-Rich White Dwarf: Composition of a Tidally Disrupted Extrasolar Dwarf Planet

open access: yes, 2010
Cool white dwarf stars are usually found to have an outer atmosphere that is practically pure in hydrogen or helium. However, a small fraction have traces of heavy elements that must originate from the accretion of extrinsic material, most probably ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.
