PUERTO RICO : A NATIONAL HISTORY / by Meléndez Badillo, Jorell A., author 656083

“…US colonization may have involved forced Americanization, but it also provoked a multi-layered resistance to those projects, from passive disobedience to armed insurrections. The creation of the Puerto Rican Commonwealth in 1952 involved using a number of institutions to create the notion of cultural nationalism that was detached from the island's colonial status, included Puerto Ricans in the diaspora and was not contingent on obtaining national sovereignty. …”

Thermodynamics of complexity and pattern manipulation by Vedral, Vlatko, Gu, Mile, Garner, Andrew J. P., Thompson, Jayne

“…Here, we propose a framework to describe pattern manipulators—devices that convert thermodynamic work to patterns or vice versa—and use them to build a “pattern engine” that facilitates a thermodynamic cycle of pattern creation and consumption. We show that the least heat dissipation is achieved by the provably simplest devices, the ones that exhibit desired operational behavior while maintaining the least internal memory. …”

An experimental study on vortex-rings colliding with surfaces with micro-features by Sanjay, Godsay Nikhil

“…An interesting vortex dipole was seen to form in the inner confines of the primary vortex ring upon collision in certain experiments due to boundary layer separation within the primary vortex ring rolling up into an internal secondary vortex core. The creation an ejection of secondary vortex structures outside of the primary vortex rings were only observed in experiments with a post diameter of 1mm and separation distances of 2.5mm and 10mm.…”
