Recent experimental results from the LHCb, BaBar and Belle collaborations on the semitauonic decays of B meson, B¯¯¯¯→D(∗)τν¯¯¯, showing a significant deviation from the Standard Model (SM), hint towards a new physics ...

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is a biomineralization process that has various applications in remediation and restoration of range of building materials. In the present study, calcifying bacteria, ...

Soil–cement bricks are vastly more energy efficient than fired clay bricks. Although they have adequate strength, they absorb high levels of moisture and in humid conditions they become soft and non-uniform expansion leads ...

The New Basel Capital Accord recognises that market discipline (Pillar III) has the potential to reinforce minimum capital standards (Pillar I) and the supervisory review process (Pillar II), and so promote safety and ...

Dholavira is one of the five largest Harappan cities located in Khadir Island, district Kachchh, in the state of Gujarat, India. An ancient Harappan city was found there with superbly planned, aesthetic architecture and ...

Recent discovery of colossal negative thermal expansion (NTE) behaviour in Silver Hexacyanocobaltate Ag3[Co(CN)6] has triggered interest among researchers to understand the basic mechanism causing such an unusual behaviour. ...

In this paper we compute the Betti numbers for ideals of the form I1(XY)+J, where X and Y are matrices and J is the ideal generated by the 2×2 minors of the matrix consisting of any two rows of X.

Extending current scholarship on South Asian Urban and Literary Studies, this volume examines the role of the discontents of the South Asian city. The collection investigates how South Asian literature and literature about ...
