Advances in Modern Cosmology
To be human is to care how the physical world came, whether it has boundaries and what is to become of it. Cosmology is the science that tries to answer these eternal questions. During the twentieth century, it has been elevated from the rank of philosophy to precision science thanks to the advances in both theory and observation. General relativity, quantum mechanics and observational tech…

Advances in Modelling of Rainfall Fields
Precipitation is the most important variable in the climate system and the dominant driver of land surface hydrologic conditions. Rain gauge measurement provides precipitation estimates on the ground surface; however, these measurements are sparse, especially in the high-elevation areas of Nepal. Reanalysis datasets are the potential alternative for precipitation measurement, although it mu…

Advances in Modelling and Prediction on the Impact of Human Activities and Ex…
Fast urbanization and industrialization have progressively caused severe impacts on mountainous, river, and coastal environments, and have increased the risks for people living in these areas. Human activities have changed ecosystems hence it is important to determine ways to predict these consequences to enable the preservation and restoration of these key areas. Furthermore, extreme event…

Advances in Modelling and Control of Wind and Hydrogenerators
Pressure and flowrate measurements were conducted for an air-cooled salient pole hydro model generator in order to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation approach. The ventilation system of the model generator was driven by adjustable external fans, which allows detailed pressure measurements for a range of operating conditions. The CFD model to be validated consists of fu…

Advances in Modeling of Fluid Dynamics
Although fluid dynamics, a classical discipline, has been studied for many centuries, there are still many remaining questions yet to be answered, especially in turbulent flow. With significant advances in computational technology and decrease hardware costs, we have noticed a rapid evolution in CFD techniques and models

Advances in Mobile Mapping Technologies
Paris-CARLA-3D is a dataset of several dense colored point clouds of outdoor environments built by a mobile LiDAR and camera system. The data are composed of two sets with synthetic data from the open source CARLA simulator (700 million points) and real data acquired in the city of Paris (60 million points), hence the name Paris-CARLA-3D

Advances in Minimally Invasive Surgery
The first laparoscopic procedure was performed by 1901 by Georg Kelling in dogs while the first laparoscopic procedure in humans was performed by Hans Chrisitan Jacobaeus in 1910. Minimally invasive surgery offers multiple advantages over conventional laparotomy and is associated with reduced estimated blood loss, a lower incidence of complications and a shorter hospital stay and recovery

Advances in Mineral Processing and Hydrometallurgy
The selective leaching of zinc from three different basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) filter cakes by butyric acid was investigated to compare the leaching behaviors of zinc and further to establish the correlation of the zinc leaching performances and the chemical compositions. The effects of acid concentration and the acid to solid (L/S) stoichiometric ratio were studied, with different opti…
