ABSTRACT
We consider a vertical circular cylinder on which the vertical variation of water diffraction waves is to be represented by a series of Laguerre functions  using Laguerre Polynomials . The variation is assumed to be of the form  with the integer n depending on the radius of cylinder. Generally, the integer n increases for a cylinder of larger diameter. The usual approximation by Laguerre functions is extended by introducing a scale parameter. The convergence of Laguerre series is then dependent on the value of the scale parameter s. The analytical and numerical computations of series coefficients are performed to study the number of series terms to keep the same accuracy. Indeed, the choice of integer n depends on the scale parameter. Furthermore, diffraction waves generated by a semi-sphere inside the cylinder are evaluated on the cylinder surface. It is shown that the approximation by Laguerre series for diffraction waves on the cylinder is effective. This work provides important information for the choice of the radius of control surface in the domain decomposition method for solving hydrodynamic problems of body-wave interaction.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
