COVID-19 forced many instructors to migrate their practice online and created a need to develop a new online teaching model. This article proposes an online asynchronous model specifically designed for an economics course. This teaching model was designed with three objectives: consistency,...

Autonomous surveillance finds its application in many fields. It is a critical requirement for any search and rescue scenario under an emergency or radiation leak. The authorities may not want to send a human in such scenarios as it can be catastrophic. An Unmanned aerial vehicle can detect...

By dint of FP-LAPW method employed in DFT technique, the mechanical stability, electronic behaviour, optical response and thermoelectric behaviour of Thallium based halide perovskites TlPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) have been theoretically investigated. The energy volume optimisationcurves as well as...

The purpose of the research reported in this article is to establish a structural explanation of physical phenomena observed or experimented on natural neural networks and especially on the brain. A simplified model based on double stochasticity properties, concentrates on the synaptic structure...

The spread of COVID-19 caused wide scale disruptions in the educational sector across the globe. Digital education involving use of digital tools, virtual platforms and online learning is viewed as one of the viable alternatives to continue the academic activities in such a backdrop. Higher...

Invasion of locust swarms has affected the crops in many countries in Africa and Asia which is a major threat to food security. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), locusts have the ability to fly over 130 km a day and stay in the air for a long time. There are different...

Layered Ga2O3 with ultra-high electron mobility and wide bandgap has attracted extensive attention. However, the bottleneck of p-type conducting restricts its potential. Here, we investigate the structural, electronic and carrier mobility properties of stacked layered Ga2O3/TeO2 heterolayers on...

Two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials have potential applications in next-generation nanoelectronics and energy conversion devices. In this work, we mainly studied the electronic, photocatalytic and piezoelectric properties of 2D metal-free B2XY (X, Y=S, Se, Te; X≠Y) monolayers with first...

The pandemic experience has made it clear that not everyone loves teaching or learning remotely. Many professors and students alike are eager to return to the classroom. However, our experiences over the last year and a half have also demonstrated the potentials and possibilities of learning...
