'To know them thoroughly you must have their photographs': photographing Donatello in the 19th and early 20th centuries by Johnson, GA

“…It also considers how the academic, museological and even geopolitical concerns of art historians and curators working in Europe and North America in the second half of the nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century influenced the kinds of illustrations that were produced of Renaissance sculpture—and, in turn, how the kinds of illustrations made available to scholars shaped the questions they asked. …”

A phenomenology of kenosis: Jean-Luc Nancy after the theological turn by Deketelaere, N

“…<p>This study outlines what Jean-Luc Nancy can offer the phenomenology of religion by reading his deconstruction of Christianity in the context of the so-called ‘theological turn’ of recent phenomenology. …”

Oscillating foils of high propulsive efficiency by Anderson, J. M., Streitlien, K., Barrett, D.S., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Visualization results elucidate the basic mechanisms involved and show that conditions of high efficiency are associated with the formation on alternating sides of the foil of a moderately strong leading-edge vortex per half-cycle, which is convected downstream and interacts with trailing-edge vorticity, resulting eventually in the formation of a reverse Karman street. …”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…In this study, snowing phenomenon was studied by varying parameters which could affect the thermal as well as solutal gradients, at six weight % concentrations of ammonium chloride solutions, from 23% to 26%, with temperatures −24 °C, −20 °C and −16 °C, and at volume of solution either full or half-full. Results show that increase in concentration decreases the onset of snowing, does not lengthen the period of the observed phenomenon, but increases the size of ejected crystals. …”
