Asymptotic analytical solutions are derived for the configuration posed by Quon [Phys. Fluids, 26, 632 (1983)] for diffusion-driven flow in a tilted square container when the diffusive parameter R is small. The key regions of the asymptotic structure are outlined and leading-order solutions are determined in most of those regions. The analysis follows that in Page & Johnson [J. Fluid Mech., 629...

To the degree that citizens have participated in, or derived benefits from, social institutions that have helped cause serious, life-threatening, or rights-threatening environmental injustice (EIJ), this article argues that they have duties either to stop their participation in these institutions or to compensate for it by helping to reform them. (EIJ occurs whenever children, poor people, mino...

1.1 Markov Processes Consider a set of states S1, S2, . . . SN . A discrete Markov process is one in which the system is in a particular state at any given time. The state can be changed only at discrete intervals of time. We denote the time instants associated with state changes with as t = 1, 2, . . . and we denote the actual state at time t as qt. The current state in an n-order Markov proce...
