Rereading Jhumpa Lahiri by Dasgupta, U

“…Lahiri argues for the importance of this readerly practice, and it appears as both a plot motif and a critical concern across her fiction and translations. The essay places Lahiri alongside Gogol, Stendhal, and Austen (authors whom her characters reread), Domenico Starnone (whose Italian novellas she has translated into English), and Edward W. …”

Numerical analysis of thermophoresis of charged colloidal particles in non-Newtonian concentrated electrolyte solutions by Zhou, Yi, Deng, Xin, Liang, Sheng, Zhao, Cunlu, Yang, Chun

“…The numerical simulations reveal that the shear-thinning effect of pseudoplastic fluids is advantageous to the thermophoresis, and the shear-thickening effect of dilatant fluids slows down the thermophoresis. …”

Analysis of bedload transport in laminar flows by Cheng, Nian-Sheng

“…Bedload transport generally depends on the bed shear stress and Reynolds number. Many studies conducted for the condition of turbulent flows have revealed the dependence of the transport rate on the bed shear stress, while knowledge of the Reynolds number effect on the transport rate is very limited. …”

Failure mode classification for reinforced concrete members using data-driven approaches by Ong, Billy

“…This study aims to classify images of reinforced concrete (RC) structures by examining characteristic crack patterns associated with specific failure modes in RC columns, beams, and walls. Post-classification, shear strength equations are employed to determine the shear force to predicted shear strength ratio (m), utilizing various parameters obtained from the collected database. …”

‘Des nouvelles de mon infortunée sœur’: Marie-Antoinette dans les lettres de l’archiduchesse Marie-Christine à l’empereur François by Seth, C

“…</p><p>The correspondence between Archduchess Maria-Christina of Austria (1742–1798) – Marie-Antoinette’s elder sister and wife of Albert, duke of Saxony-Teschen (1738–1822) – and her nephew Francis II (1768–1835) sheds new light on the last queen of France’s final months, as well as on the Habsburgs’ attitude towards her and her legacy. …”

Christianity’s role in colonial and revolutionary Haiti 1 (Article Commentary) by Edwards, Erica Johnson

“…On October 26, 2020, the US Senate confirmed Amy Coney-Barrett’s nomination to the US Supreme Court. In the lead up to her confirmation, while senators and the media focused heavily on her Catholic faith, some on social media drew attention to the two Haitian children she and her husband adopted following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.2 The connections between Coney-Barret’s Christianity and the Haitian earthquake recalled Pat Robertson’s controversial claim that the earthquake was caused by a Haitian “pact with the devil” during the Haitian Revolution.3 Whatever else one might say about Robertson’s comments, they show his ignorance of the important but little-known role Christianity and the Catholic clergy played in eighteenth-century colonial Haiti.…”

A carbuncle cure for the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme using a novel velocity-based sensor by Vevek, U. S., Zang, B., New, Tze How

“…A hybrid numerical flux scheme is proposed by adapting the carbuncle-free modified Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLCM) scheme to smoothly revert to the Harten-Lax-van Leer contact (HLLC) scheme in regions of shear. This hybrid scheme, referred to as the HLLCT scheme, employs a novel, velocity-based shear sensor. …”
