Biological membranes undergo noticeable thermal fluctuations at physiological temperatures. When two approach each other, they hinder the out-of-plane of other. This hindrance leads to an entropic repulsive force between which, in interplay with attractive and forces owing other sources, affects a range biological functions: cell adhesion, membrane fusion, self-assembly, binding–unbinding trans...

The lack of proximity between economic agents in Africa and the rest world is compounded by regional instability, including pandemics conflicts. Identifying these ever-changing challenges provides foundational problem when desiring growth such environments. Hence, primary research objective study to develop a growth-strategy support model (GSSM) provide requisite rigor developing strategies. Th...

By pre-fetching popular videos into the local caches of edge nodes, wireless caching provides an effective means reducing repeated content deliveries. To meet various viewing quality requirements multimedia users, scalable video coding (SVC) is integrated with caching, where constituent layers are flexibly cached and transmitted to users. In this article, we discuss challenges arising from diff...

Rural-urban migration in developing countries has drastically increased the perspective of rural migrants relocating to urban cities. Nigeria had issues which Plateau state is not exceptional, beyond urbanization and population are succinct underlying components that have been driving force rural-urban migration. This study examines state, North-central with objective identifying cognizance 420...

This paper presents new empirical prediction models for loss estimation in forest environment. Experimental investigations were carried out on groups of trees form woodland and lines at SHF band under different operational contexts. In the experimentations, two major measurement geometries (propagation “into” propagation “inside” forest) adopted site to basis. Results from all sites displayed a...

This study aimed to investigate the binding constraints on building a knowledge-based economy (KBE) in Qatar. The research used descriptive and qualitative approaches within new institutional economics paradigm using data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Taking cognizance that natural-resource-driven economic development may not be sustainable, Qatar National Vision 2030 was launched with ...

This article focuses on Maslow’s theory of hierarchy needs, which has been criticized for lacking scientific evidence towards an effective municipal infrastructure management system. To ameliorate this, we contend that 21st-century is not limited to the cardinal direction motivation from bottom top hierarchy, as indicated by Maslow. We also argue needs did take cognizance innovations and situat...

Due to the impact of natural and human-caused disasters, for example, climate change, social workers are increasingly needed at frontline disaster management. However, some feel unprepared responding needs vulnerable communities experiencing a disaster. Alongside this, many rural that experience disasters also live with disadvantages, resulting in added layers difficulty. In response gap work c...
