Ever since the Asia-Pacific transformed from an ‘institutional desert’ into one of the most networked areas in the world, questions of the region’s future and the future of the global system have become closely intertwined. This volume explores the key issues of regional co-operation,...

The expert contributors shed critical light on how significant developments are impacting on the global system. In particular, they consider emerging forms of global governance, and how the Asia-Pacific as a region, individual countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and the US, and regional...

In a previous paper (C. Wagner et al., Phys. Rev. E 54 (1996) 5073), we derived a macroscopic traffic model from a Boltzmann-like equation by neglecting third- and higher-order cumulants. To find higher-order approximations, we now employ a Chapman-Enskog expansion to calculate the third-order...

We present experimental results of the flow of dilute and semi-dilute polymer solutions in co-rotating Taylor–Couette cylinders. The experimental set-up consists of a modified Mars II rheometer (Thermo Scientific) with two drive units that are mounted opposite each other. The rotational...
