    Abstract Abstract The paper aims to investigate the channel flow of second grade visco-elastic fluid generated due to an oscillating wall. The effect of heat and mass transfer has been taken into account. The phenomenon has been modelled in terms of PDEs. The constitutive equations are fractionalized by using the definition of the Caputo fractional operator with Fick’s and Fourier’s Laws. The system of fractional PDEs is non-dimensionalized by using appropriate dimensionless variables. The closed-form solutions of thermal and concentration boundary layers are obtained by using the Laplace and finite Fourier-Sine transforms, while the momentum equation is solved by a numerical approach by Zakian using $$\textit{PYTHON}$$ PYTHON . Furthermore, the parametric influence of various embedded physical parameters on momentum, temperature, and concentration distributions is depicted through various graphs. It is observed that the fractional approach is more convenient and realistic as compared to the classical approach. It is worth noting that the increasing values of $$M$$ M , $$Sc$$ Sc and $$Re$$ Re retard the boundary layer profile. For instance, this behaviour of $$M$$ M is significant where boundary control is necessary. That is, in the case of resonance, the physical solution may be obtained by adding the effect of MHD. The Reynolds number is useful in characterising the transport properties of a fluid or a particle travelling through a fluid. The Reynolds number is one of the main controlling parameters in all viscous flow. It determines whether the fluid flow is laminar or turbulent. The evolution of the rate of heat, mass transfer, and skin friction on the left plate with various physical parameters are presented in tables. These quantities are of high interest for engineers. Keeping in mind the effect of various parameters on these engineering quantities, they make their feasibility reports.

    Abstract Abstract In recent years, the use of magnetic particles for biomedicine and clinical therapies has gained considerable attention. Unique features of magnetic particles have made it possible to apply them in medical techniques. These techniques not only provide minimal invasive diagnostic tools but also transport medicine within the cell. In recent years, MRI, drug supply to infected tissue, Hyperthermia are more enhanced by the use of magnetic particles. The present study aims to observe heat and mass transport through blood flow containing magnetic particles in a cylindrical tube. Furthermore, the magnetic field is applied vertically to blood flow direction. The Caputo time fractional derivative is used to model the problem. The obtained partial fractional derivatives are solved using Laplace transform and finite Hankel transform. Furthermore, the effect of various physical parameters of our interest has also been observed through various graphs. It has been noticed that the motion of blood and magnetic particles is decelerated when the particle mass parameter and the magnetic parameter are increased. These findings are important for medicine delivery and blood pressure regulation.

    Abstract Abstract The analysis of nanofluids heat transfer over a wedge is very important due to their wider applications in applied thermal engineering, chemical engineering and biomedical engineering etc. Therefore, aim of the study is to explore the heat transport in nanofluid over a wedge (Falkner Skan flow) under viscous dissipation and thermal radiation over a wedge. The proper model formulation is carried out via similarity relations and empirical correlations of the nanofluids. After successful model transformation, numerical scheme (RK technique along with shooting technique) applied and furnished the results over the desired domain under varying effects of preemenant flow parameters. The results revealed that the velocity rises for opposing ( $$\gamma <0$$ γ < 0 ) and assisting ( $$\gamma >0$$ γ > 0 ) flows against $$\lambda$$ λ and significant contribution of Ec and imposed thermal radiations (Rd number) observed in thermal performance of the nanofluid. The temperature declines by strengthen $$\lambda$$ λ and optimum decrement is noted for opposing flow. Finally, a comparison is provided for various values of $$\lambda$$ λ ( $$\lambda =\mathrm{0,0.014}, 0.04, 0.09, 0.1429, 0.2, \mathrm{0.333,0.5}$$ λ = 0 , 0.014 , 0.04 , 0.09 , 0.1429 , 0.2 , 0.333 , 0.5 ) with previously published work under certain restrictions and found an excellent agreement.

    Abstract Abstract Outlying observations have a large influence on the linear model selection process. In this article, we present a novel approach to robust model selection in linear regression to accommodate the situations where outliers are present in the data. The model selection criterion is based on two components, the robust conditional expected prediction loss, and a robust goodness-of-fit with a penalty term. We estimate the conditional expected prediction loss by using the out-of-bag stratified bootstrap approach. In the presence of outliers, the stratified bootstrap ensures that we obtain bootstrap samples that are similar to the original sample data. Furthermore, to control the undue effect of outliers, we use the robust MM-estimator and a bounded loss function in the proposed criterion. Specifically, we observe that instead of minimizing the penalized loss function or the conditional expected prediction loss separately, it is better to minimize them simultaneously. The simulation and real-data based studies confirm the consistent and satisfactory behavior of our bootstrap model selection procedure in the presence of response outliers and covariate outliers.

    Abstract Abstract Developing countries lack studies investigated the socioeconomic and parental role on students’ learning skills. This study is helpful to detect bottlenecks in the foundational learning skills (reading skills and numeracy skills) in the education system of Pakistan. Reading skills of children are found better who had no functional disabilities. Mothers with higher education had a significant positive contribution toward children learning skills. Children deprived of books for reading in appropriate language had a negative impact on their reading skills. Rich children had predominantly higher possibilities of good learning skills than poor children. Parents who had not attended children’s school to discuss child progress had a significantly negative effect on children’s numeracy skills. Overall parental involvement in some forms had insignificantly improved children reading and numeracy skills in Punjab, Pakistan.

    Abstract COVID-19 is causing havoc to human health and the world economy right now. It is a single standard positive-sense RNA virus which is transferred by inhalation of a viral droplet. Its genome forms four structural proteins such as nucleocapsid protein, membrane protein, spike protein, and envelop protein. The capsid of coronavirus is a protein shell within which a positive strand of RNA is present which enables the virus to control the machinery of human cells. It has several variants, e.g., SARS, MERS, and now a new variant identified in 2019, which is a novel coronavirus that causes novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus disease that originally arose in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread around the world. Clinically, we identified the virus presence by a PCR-based test. Preventive measures and vaccination are the only treatment against coronavirus. Some of these include Remdesivir (GS-5734), Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, and Theaflavin. A topological index (TI) is a mathematical function that assigns a numerical value to a (molecular) graph and predicts many physical, chemical, biological, thermodynamical, and structural features of that network. In this work, we will calculate a new topological index, namely, the first and second Gourava and Hyper-Gourava indices for the molecular graph of Remdesivir (GS-5734), Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, and Theaflavin. We also plotted our computed results to examine how they were affected by the parameters involved. These findings could contribute in the development of new COVID-19 therapy options.

    Abstract Abstract We deal in this paper with a diffusive SIR epidemic model described by reaction–diffusion equations involving a fractional derivative. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are shown, next to the boundedness of the solution. Further, it has been shown that the global behavior of the solution is governed by the value of $$R_0$$ R 0 , which is known in epidemiology by the basic reproduction number. Indeed, using the Lyapunov direct method it has been proved that the disease will extinct for $$ R_0 <1 $$ R 0 < 1 for any value of the diffusion constants. For $$R_0>1$$ R 0 > 1 , the disease will persist and the unique positive equilibrium is globally stable. Some numerical illustrations have been used to confirm our theoretical results.

    Abstract Abstract In this paper, the heat transfer properties in the three-dimensional (3D) magnetized with the Darcy-Forchheimer flow over a shrinking surface of the $$Cu + Al_{2} O_{3} /$$ C u + A l 2 O 3 / water hybrid nanofluid with radiation effect were studied. Valid linear similarity variables convert the partial differential equations (PDEs) into the ordinary differential equations (ODEs). With the help of the shootlib function in the Maple software, the generalized model in the form of ODEs is numerically solved by the shooting method. Shooting method can produce non-unique solutions when correct initial assumptions are suggested. The findings are found to have two solutions, thereby contributing to the introduction of a stability analysis that validates the attainability of first solution. Stability analysis is performed by employing if bvp4c method in MATLAB software. The results show limitless values of dual solutions at many calculated parameters allowing the turning points and essential values to not exist. Results reveal that the presence of dual solutions relies on the values of the porosity, coefficient of inertia, magnetic, and suction parameters for the specific values of the other applied parameters. Moreover, it has been noted that dual solutions exist in the ranges of $$F_{s} \le F_{sc}$$ F s ≤ F sc , $$M \ge M_{C}$$ M ≥ M C , $$S \ge S_{C} ,$$ S ≥ S C , and $$K_{C} \le K$$ K C ≤ K whereas no solution exists in the ranges of $$F_{s} > F_{sc}$$ F s > F sc , $$M < M_{c}$$ M < M c , $$S < S_{c}$$ S < S c , and $$K_{C} > K$$ K C > K . Further, a reduction in the rate of heat transfer is noticed with a rise in the parameter of the copper solid volume fraction.

    Abstract Abstract The dynamics of nanofluid by considering the role of imposed Lorentz forces, thermal radiations and velocity slip effects over a vertically convectively heated surface is a topic of huge interest. Therefore, the said study is conducted for Al2O3-H2O nanofluid. Mathematical modelling of the problem is done via nanofluid effective correlations comprising the influences of freezing temperature, molecular diameter and similarity transformations. The results for multiple parameters are plotted and provide comprehensive discussion. From the analysis, it is examined that Al2O3-H2O nanofluid motion drops by strengthening Lorentz forces. The temperature in the nanofluid (Al2O3-H2O) is improved by inducing viscous dissipation effects (Ec number), surface convection (Biot number) and thermal radiations (Rd). Moreover, the shear stresses at the surface decreased due to higher magnetic field effects and rises due to velocity slip. A significant rise in Local Nusselt number is observed due to thermal radiations and Biot effects. Finally, enhanced heat transport mechanism in Al2O3-H2O is examined than a conventional liquid. Therefore, nanofluids are better for industrial applications and the uses of conventional liquids are limited due to low thermal conductivity.
