(2019-05)
The isothermal laminar flow of a Bingham fluid in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied previously by many authors using different approaches. As current research stands, the momentum integral approach ...
Effects of mechano-electrical feedback on the onset of alternans: A computational study
(AIP, 2019-06)
Cardiac alternans is a heart rhythm instability that is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and may lead to sudden cardiac death. The onset of this instability, which is linked to period-doubling bifurcation and may be a ...
Exploring Academic Dishonesty in the Middle East: A Qualitative Analysis of Students' Perceptions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Most previous studies of academic dishonesty have been conducted in North America and Europe, and have focused on the contextual, institutional, and individual factors that influence students' propensity to cheat. While ...
Brain Connectivity Analysis Under Semantic Vigilance and Enhanced Mental States
(MDPI, 2019)
In this paper, we present a method to quantify the coupling between brain regions under vigilance and enhanced mental states by utilizing partial directed coherence (PDC) and graph theory analysis (GTA). The vigilance state ...
The Roots of Misalignment: Insights on Strategy Implementation from a System Dynamics Perspective
(2019)
This essay advances the study of strategic alignment by explaining how and why misalignment occurs. We begin by summarizing why IT and business strategies evolve in unintended ways, a phenomenon known as strategic drift. ...
