The time-tested Indigenous fishing knowledge (IFK) of Fiji and the Pacific Islands is seriously threatened due to the commercialization of fishing, breakdown of traditional communal leadership and oral knowledge transmission systems, modern education, and the movement of the younger generations to urban areas for work and/or study.Consequently, IFK
The family Psittacidae is comprised of over 400 species, an ever-increasing number of which are considered threatened with extinction.In recent decades, conservation strategies for these species have increasingly employed reintroduction as a technique for reestablishing populations in previously extirpated areas.Because most Psittacines are highly
Placement of steel plate shear walls (SPSW) in the building cores around the elevators and stairs necessitates door-type openings in these systems.Because of large dimensions of door openings, the energy dissipation capacity drops significantly and thus, the probability of out-of-plane buckling under lateral load increases.Accordingly, introducing
In the present work, an analysis is made to the two-dimensional axisymmetric flow and heat transfer of a modified second grade fluid over an isothermal non-linear radially stretching sheet.The momentum and energy equations are modelled and the boundary layer fp9550bk equations are derived.The governing equations for velocity and temperature are tur
Abstract Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease-causing illness in both humans and animals folk rivet sweat resulting in related economic impacts due to production loss as well as prevention and control efforts.Several mathematical models have been proposed to study the dynamics of infection but none of them has so far taken into account the dynamics
