Abstract

Purpose

The paper aims to propose a generation approach for unstructured surface mesh to speed up mesh generation.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper proposes a lightweight interactive generation approach for unstructured surface mesh and presents several key technologies to support this approach.

Findings

The experimental results show that the proposed approach is feasible for unstructured meshes and it can accelerate the mesh generation process.

Research limitations/implications

More geometric defects should be covered, and more convenient and efficient interactive means need to be provided.

Practical implications

The proposed approach and key technologies are implemented in NNW-GridStar.UG, which is the unstructured version of the mesh generation software of National Numerical Windtunnel (NNW).

Originality/value

This paper proposes a lightweight interactive approach for unstructured surface mesh generation, which can speed up mesh generation.

This study explores the relevance of education in reducing poverty in Egypt's rural and urban areas.

Abstract

Purpose

This study explores the relevance of education in reducing poverty in Egypt's rural and urban areas.

Design/methodology/approach

The study applies the logistic model to Analyse Household Income Expenditure survey data.

Findings

The results indicate that spending on education in urban regions is higher than in rural areas. Second, the percentage of illiteracy in rural areas is higher than in urban areas. Third, educational spending is significantly inversely related to poverty across various geographical regions of Egypt. Fourthly, the more educated the head of the family is, the less likely the family is to fall into poverty. Finally, the potential for education to alleviate poverty in rural areas is more significant than in urban regions of Egypt.

Research limitations/implications

The suggested approach should be applied on data from different countries.

Practical implications

The paper suggests worthy policy recommendations for policy makers in Egypt.

Social implications

Results of the study worthy as it emphases the role of education in the society.

Originality/value

Based on microdata analysis, the study compares the potential role of education in combating poverty in Egypt's urban and rural areas. Thus, it can be used as a decision-support tool for policymakers.
