They apply specific principles and methods that enable them to behave well towards the objective. Scientists have curiosity in their scientific world; they persevere every obstacle they come[…]
In the article “Effect of uniformity of gas distribution on fluidization characteristics in conical gas fluidized beds,” Son, Lee, and Kim (2006) conduct an experiment on uniform gas distributors to determine their impact on fluidization features of fluidized beds. This paper provides a summary of their study. It presents an overview of the research background,[…]
Introduction We dwell in the world of walls and borders. A wall is a well-built structure that defines a particular location, provides security and shelter and carries a specified load (United States & United States, 2008).

Space exploration has been expanding and growing ever since Neil Armstrong and Edwin Eugene Aldrin Junior took their first steps on the moon (NASA,[…]
Introduction The information that is available globally cannot fully be trusted, considering some information may be biased and be spread around with a motive that could either be positive or have a negative influence. It is primarily the reason research is important to ensure that the information that is available has been researched and the[…]
Both qualitative and quantitative researches are valued in the research world and are often used together under a single project. This is despite the fact that they have significant differences in terms of their theoretical, epistemological, and methodological formations. Qualitative research is usually in form of words while quantitative research takes the numerical approach. This[…]
Q- Write a formal academic essay which critically analyses the potential of mathematical modelling to enrich and enhance pupils’ mathematical experiences Berry et al. (1984) define mathematical modelling as being the process of an individual applying their numerical skills to a real-life problem or situation. Mooney and Swift (1999) construe it more precisely as being[…]
Astronomy is a branch of natural science that deals with the study of celestial bodies and their occurrence. It is vital to understand how astronomy has impacted the development of civilization and society.
