Abstract The thermal behavior of an electrically non-conducting magnetic liquid flowing over a stretching cylinder under the influence of a magnetic dipole is considered. The governing nonlinear differential equations are solved numerically using a finite element approach, which is properly validated through comparison with earlier results available in the literature. The results for the velocity and temperature fields are provided for different values of the Reynolds number, ferromagnetic response number, Prandtl number, and viscous dissipation parameter. The influence of some physical parameters on skin friction and heat transfer on the walls of the cylinder is also investigated. The applicability of this… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Introduction : la qualité de vie des patients suivis pour une hémopathie maligne dépend non seulement du type de la maladie, de ses caractéristiques cliniques, biologiques et thérapeutiques, mais aussi de la santé mentale du patient. L’objectif de notre étude est d’évaluer l’état psychologique des patients au diagnostic, de rechercher les facteurs associés à son altération et de préciser son impact sur la qualité de vie des patients. Méthode : nous avons mené une étude monocentrique transversale qui évalue la dépression, l’anxiété et la qualité de vie d’une population de patients atteints de syndromes lymphoprolifératifs sur une période de 22mois.… More >

Abstract Sintered silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in high-power electronics due to their exceptional properties. However, the material reliability is significantly affected by various microscopic defects. In this work, the three primary micro-defect types at potential stress concentrations in sintered AgNPs are identified, categorized, and quantified. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to observe the failure evolution of different microscopic defects. The dominant mechanisms responsible for this evolution are dislocation nucleation and dislocation motion. At the same time, this paper clarifies the quantitative relationship between the tensile strain amount and the failure mechanism transitions of the three defect types by… More >

Abstract Blockchain technology has revolutionized conventional trade. The success of blockchain can be attributed to its distributed ledger characteristic, which secures every record inside the ledger using cryptography rules, making it more reliable, secure, and tamper-proof. This is evident by the significant impact that the use of this technology has had on people connected to digital spaces in the present-day context. Furthermore, it has been proven that blockchain technology is evolving from new perspectives and that it provides an effective mechanism for the intelligent transportation system infrastructure. To realize the full potential of the accurate and efficacious use of blockchain in… More >

Abstract Le pourtour occidental du plateau du Jord Tannourine-Aaqoura (Liban) est une région montagnarde méditerranéenne qui réunit les conditions de l’érosion hydrique : pluie abondante, pente raide, couvert végétal naturel ravagé et sol sensible à la dégradation. Cependant les terrasses agricoles aménagées depuis des décennies demeurent une pratique robuste pour limiter le ruissellement et élargir la surface agricole utile. Afin d’évaluer l’érosion aréolaire et le rôle des pratiques antiérosives, la méthodologie adoptée repose sur l’équation universelle de l’USLE révisée (RUSLE). La combinaison de paramètres du modèle, dans un SIG, a permis de définir que l’érosion hydrique peut dépasser les 51 t/ha/an… More >

Abstract A patient co-infected with COVID-19 and viral hepatitis B can be at more risk of severe complications than the one infected with a single infection. This study develops a comprehensive stochastic model to assess the epidemiological impact of vaccine booster doses on the co-dynamics of viral hepatitis B and COVID-19. The model is fitted to real COVID-19 data from Pakistan. The proposed model incorporates logistic growth and saturated incidence functions. Rigorous analyses using the tools of stochastic calculus, are performed to study appropriate conditions for the existence of unique global solutions, stationary distribution in the sense of ergodicity and disease… More >

Abstract In this particular study, we have considered the flow of Casson fluid over inclined flat and cylindrical surfaces, and have conducted a numerical analysis taking into account various physical factors such as mixed convection, stagnation point flow, MHD, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, heat generation, Joule heating effect, variable thermal conductivity and chemical reaction. Flow over flat plate phenomena is observed aerospace industry, and airflow over solar panels, etc. Cylindrical surfaces are commonly used in several applications interacting with fluids, such as bridges, cables, and buildings, so the study of fluid flow over cylindrical surfaces is more important. Due to the… More >

Abstract In current study, the influence of magnetic field (MHD) on heat transfer of natural convection boundary layer flow in Casson ternary hybrid nanofluid past a stretching sheet is studied using numerical simulation. The Newtonian heating boundary conditions that depend on the temperature and velocity terms are taken into this investigation. The particular dimensional governing equations, for the studied problem, are converted to the system of partial differential equations utilizing adequate similarity transformation. Consequently, the system of equations is numerically solved using well-known Kellar box numerical techniques. The obtained numerical results are in excellent approval with previous literature results. The existence… More >

Abstract The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence that slip boundary conditions have on the rate of heat and mass transfer by examining the behavior of micropolar MHD flow across a porous stretching sheet. In addition to this, the impacts of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation are taken into account. With the use of various computing strategies, numerical results have been produced. Similarity transformation was utilized in order to convert the partial differential equations (PDEs) that regulated energy, rotational momentum, concentration, and momentum into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). As compared to earlier published research, MATLAB inbuilt solver solution… More > Graphic Abstract
