Elizabeth Bishop and the styles of writing by Dickinson, A

“…It avoids the biographical focus that predominates in much criticism of Bishop and, by writing about her posthumously published works alongside those published in her lifetime, also reconciles divergent approaches which either focus disproportionately on archival material, or sideline anything Bishop herself did not publish.…”

Surface composition dependent ligand effect in tuning the activity of nickel–copper bimetallic electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution in alkaline by Wei, Chao, Sun, Yuanmiao, Scherer, Günther G., Fisher, Adrian C., Sherburne, Matthew, Ager, Joel W., Xu, Zhichuan Jason

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. …”
