Shifts in the culture of civic engagement, technologies and practices surrounding social media, and pressure from political leaders have ignited a movement amongst gov’t agencies to extend their efforts for obtaining input on public issues. These projects face serious challenges related to scale of participation and political capture, though collaborative efforts elsewhere suggest we may be abl...

Online social media offers an unprecedented laboratory to explore social interactions at scale. Yet it's hard to anticipate all the effects of a system with so many actors, and the systems we build are often re-appropriated by end users. To better understand how these systems are used, we employ mixed methods research to combine small-scale observations with large-scale data analysis. I'll prov...

With the assistance of weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities, we introduce an optical scheme to fuse two small-size polarization entangled photonic W states into a large-scale W state without qubit loss, i.e.,Wn+m state can be generated from an n-qubit W state and a m-qubit W state. To complete the fusion task, two polarization entanglement processes and one spatial entanglement process are applied. T...

The concept of the Media Welfare State describes Nordic specificity in how media are organised and they serve a lively inclusive democracy. This article engages dialogue regards to contention that this system has persisted midst rapid social change. We synthesise previous research documented changes policy Sweden, covering last three decades, show ways which Swedish undergone significant transf...

ABSTRACTThis study examined information flow on minisett technology among yam farmers in Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 180 respondents was involved in the study. Data were obtained from respondents of the study through the use of a validated interview schedule. Percentage, frequency count and mean scores were used to summarize data, while line diagrams were used to develop maps of info...

In design of anaerobic bioreactor, rate equation is commonly used. Mathematical model was developed at steady state condition, to project concentration of gaseous substrate and product in biological oxidation of carbon monoxide with water to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The concept of bioconversion was based on transport of CO from gas phase to liquid phase, as the CO consumption was in...
