By a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method which ensures the system will be under phone grip/stand hydrostatic pressure, dynamic and elastic properties of glassy metatstable states are investigated.In the MD method, the simulation cell fluctuates not only in volume but also in shape under constant hydrostatic pressure and temperature.As observe
A Cross-cultural Analysis of English and Arabic Blurbs: An Investigation into Generic Structure and Appraisal Markers
Screens This study investigated the generic structures and linguistic features of English and Arabic academic book blurbs from different disciplines.The study also examined appraisal markers in the blurbs within the appraisal framework to identify the main attitudinal markers that book blurb writers use to construe and negotiate attitudes with thei
Exploring the connections between green economy and informal economy in South Africa
The notion of an inclusive green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication requires an approach that engages with the informal economy.However, the informal economy is generally ignored or undervalued in discussions on the green economy.This paper set out to bolster this argument by identifying the ways in which the
Impacts of fertilization on grassland productivity and water quality across the European Alps under current and warming climate: insights from a mechanistic model
Alpine grasslands sustain local economy by providing fodder for livestock.Intensive fertilization is common to enhance their yields, thus creating negative externalities on water quality that are difficult to evaluate without reliable estimates of nutrient fluxes.We apply a mechanistic ecosystem model, seamlessly integrating land-surface energy bal
