This paper examines unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convective fluid flow described by the Oldroyd-B model using ramped wall temperature and velocity simultaneously. The fluid flow is closed to an infinite vertical flat plate immersed through a porous medium. Laplace transformation is used to find solutions of momentum and energy equations. Afterwards, the Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient are obtained. A parametric study is performed to investigate the effects of ramped velocity and temperature (at wall) on the considered fluid flow model.

Neuroeconomics has the potential to fundamentally change the way economics is done. This article identifies the ways in which this will occur, pitfalls of this approach, and areas where progress has already been made. The value of neuroeconomics studies for social policy lies in the quality, replicability, and relevance of the research produced. While most economists will not contribute to the neuroeconomics literature, we contend that most economists should be reading these studies.

Abstract-We have studied the problem of diffraction of plane waves by a finite slit in an infinitely long soft-hard plane. Analysis is based on the Fourier transform, the Wiener-Hopf technique and the method of steepest descent. The boundary value problem is reduced to a matrix Wiener-Hopf equation which is solved by using the factorization of the kernel matrix. The diffracted field, calculated in the farfield approximation, is shown to be the sum of the fields (separated and interaction fields) produced by the two edges of the slit. Some graphs showing the effects of various parameters on the diffracted field produced by two edges of the slit are also plotted.
