Border Witness: Reimagining the US-Mexico Borderlands through Film, by Michael Dear. University of California Press, 2023, 318 pp. by Emmanuel Ramos-Barajas

“…As Dear himself declares, “[t]his book is not a work of conventional film criticism or film theory” (68). Rather, it is an intriguing interdisciplinary exercise that draws from multiple subjects—film studies, ethnography, art history, cultural geography, autobiography, history, and political science—to make sense of the Mexico-US borderlands, their inhabitants, and representation. …”

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Fuel Droplet Combustion Parameters via Different Combustion Models by Basma Abbas Abdulmajeed, Ali Sabri

“…For the moving droplet combustion model it was shown that the relative movementbetween droplet and ambient surrounding gas enhanced the mass burning rate and reduced thedroplet lifetime. The film theory approach was adopted in moving droplet model.…”

Metaphysics of the sequence shot: the gathering and nihilating of being in Béla Tarr’s The Turin Horse by Isabel Rocamora

“…Placing stylistic analysis in dialogue with film theory and the philosophies of Nietzsche and Heidegger, I argue that Tarr’s strategies of attention (on the subject) and reversal (of the action and cinematography) puncture narrative chronology, exposing the spatiality and temporality that structure our existence. …”

Film Editing as Women’s Work: Ėsfir’ Shub, Elizaveta Svilova, and the Culture of Soviet Montage by Lilya Kaganovsky

“…In both cases, I am interested specifically in how we might disentangle these women’s editorial and directorial contributions from the male-dominated Soviet film industry, and place them in the larger context of a re-engagement with feminist film theory and the history of women’s participation in the cinema industry in the USSR and beyond.…”

Quantifying the surface heat transfer on transpiration cooled porous materials in laminar and turbulent hypersonic boundary layers by Naved, I, Hermann, T, Hambidge, C, Ifti, HS, McGilvray, M, Tirichenko, IS, Vandeperre, L

“…It was found that a modification to existing relations from film theory successfully correlates the stream-wise heat transfer distribution on the injector for different blowing rates of Nitrogen and Helium injection. …”

Modelling of heat and mass transfer in the evaporation of a binary mixture in a falling film apparatus by Al-Yakoob, Khalil, Jusoff, Kamaruzaman, Khoo, Linda Mei Sui

“…The flow is characterized by a falling liquid film and the film theory model is used. The geometry retained is a cylindrical column with a smooth uniform heat flux. …”

Comparison of equilibrium and non-equilibrium models of a tray column for post-combustion CO2 capture using DEA-promoted potassium carbonate solution by Borhani, Tohid Nejad Ghaffar, Akbari, Vahid, Afkhamipour, Morteza, Abd. Hamid, Mohd. Kamaruddin, Abdul Manan, Zainuddin

“…The non-equilibrium model was based on the two-film theory, and the effect of film discretization was examined. …”

Nanofiltration of binary palm oil/solvent mixtures: Experimental and modeling by Lim, Ki Min, Ghazali, Nazlee Faisal

Towards Manufacturing of Ultrafine-Laminated Structures in Metallic Tubes by Accumulative Extrusion Bonding by Matthew R. Standley, Marko Knezevic

“…Surface preparation, as described by the thin film theory, and the amount of deformation imposed per extrusion pass are identified and discussed as key contributors to enact successful metal-to-metal bonding at the interface. …”

Analysis of subharmonic and quasi-periodic vibrations of a Jeffcott rotor supported on a squeeze-film damper by the IHB method by Kwangchol Ri, Junhyok Jang, Cholil Yun, Choljun Pak, Kwangchol Kim

“…Oil film forces in the damper are calculated using π film theory and short bearing approximation. These forces are first calculated in the time domain and then transformed into the frequency domain by Fourier transformation. …”

Batch Adsorption Of Amoxicillin On Coconut Shell Activated Carbon by Zainal, Danial Syakirin

“…The effects of various parameters on the transfer of amoxicillin antibiotic between the aqueous phase and the organic phase were studied, and it was shown that the kinetic transfer process could be successfully modelled using the generic two-film theory of mass transfer to a flat interface. Using pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order models to examine the kinetics of amoxicillin adsorption onto coconut shell activated carbon indicated that amoxicillin adsorption followed a pseudo first-order kinetic model. …”

Kinetic study of antibiotic by reverse micelle extraction technique by Mohd. Setapar, Siti Hamidah, Mat, Hanapi, Mohamad Aziz, Siti Norazimah

“…Results were interpreted in terms of a two-film theory for flat interface. The extraction in this system was found to be controlled by interface solubilization and the diffusion of the penicillin G in the aqueous phase boundary layer. …”

Partitioning isotherm and kinetic of erythromycin into mixed reverse micelle during forward transfer by Siti Norazimah, Mohamad-Aziz, Zularisam, A. W., Mimi Sakinah, A. M.

“…In addition, the kinetic data complements the two-film theory for a flat interface model and shows that dissemination of erythromycin into the interfacial layer of mixed reverse micelles depended on surfactant concentration. …”

Concentration Polarization in Ultrafiltration/Nanofiltration for the Recovery of Polyphenols from Winery Wastewaters by Alexandre Giacobbo, Andréa Moura Bernardes, Maria João Filipe Rosa, Maria Norberta de Pinho

“…The quantification of its dependence on the operating parameters of cross-flow velocities and transmembrane pressures makes recourse to the film theory to introduce mass-transfer coefficients that generally are calculated by dimensionless correlations of the Sherwood number as a function of the Reynolds and Schmidt numbers. …”

Spectacles of shame: Ryan Murphy as curator of queer cultural memory by Stepić Nikola N.

“…Utilizing queer and film theory as its framework, this paper treats Murphy's queer vernacular as the uncanny that destabilizes conventions of both the horror genre and mainstream television, in turn legitimizing and exploiting 'shameful' queer categories such as trauma, excess, diva worship and camp through the language of popular television and the bodies that populate it. …”

Learning through Listening and Responding: Probing the Potential and Limits of Dialogue in Local and Online Environments by Claudia Welz, Essi Ikonen, Aslaug Kristiansen

“…Methodologically, the experiences from the online <i>havruta</i> are brought into a theory-practice feedback loop and are discussed from various theoretical angles: (1) The first section introduces how <i>havruta</i> was conducted traditionally and how Franz Rosenzweig, who in 1920 founded the Frankfurt <i>Lehrhaus</i> and invited Martin Buber to offer lecture courses, advanced <i>havruta</i>. (2) The second section explains how Rosenzweig’s pedagogical principles as distilled from his writings on education are applied and modified in the above-mentioned contemporary online reading group. (3) The third section draws on Buber’s philosophy of dialogue, Juhani Pallasmaa’s architectural theory and Michel Chion’s film theory in order to investigate the epistemological and pedagogical significance of different modes of listening, asking, and responding, and the role of trust for dialogical learning in local and online learning communities.…”
