Between City and Self: Reading Beirut in Mohamed Soueid’s Tango of Yearning by Anouti, Ghida

“…Weaving historical realism with fabulation to fill or distort representational lacuna, his film offers doubled lenses – one of his life and another of Beirut’s contemporary history. …”

Black hole binary formation and mergers in supermassive black hole discs by Rowan, C

“…A single range of impact parameters, typically of width $\sim0.8-1.6$ binary Hill radii (depending on the AGN disk density) reliably leads to binary formation. …”

Numerical study of trapped vortex combustors characteristics in small ramjets by Chen, Song

“…The results show that the optimal cavity size that traps a vortex inside can be determined by calculating the drag coefficient. Because the designed small combustor does not have bypass air directed into the cavity, injecting all the fuel directly in the optimal cavity always leads to an overly fuel-rich condition. …”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”

The interaction between ketone bodies and carbohydrate in human metabolism by Holdsworth, D

“…Thesis Abstract: The human brain cannot oxidise fat, so ketone bodies (KBs) are produced in the liver from fat to provide energy in starvation, the brain having a high capacity to oxidise KBs. …”

Dynamic B0 field shimming for improving pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling at 7 Tesla by Ji, Y, Woods, J, Li, H, Okell, T

“…<p><strong>Purpose: </p></strong>B0 field inhomogeneity within the brain-feeding arteries is a major issue for pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) at 7T, as it reduces the labeling efficiency and leads to a loss of perfusion signal. …”

Determination of operating point for a propulsive wing UAV using CFD by Chan, Chee Shuan

“…CFD simulations were performed using a 2D RANS k-ε turbulence model and the rotating flow was captured using the moving reference frame method. Lift and drag were obtained for different angle of attacks via a control volume analysis of CFD results. …”

Why travel far to learn? A study of environmental behaviour change experience of residential outdoor environmental education participants by Syed-Abdullah, Sharifah Intan Sharina

Notes on Thermodynamics : Hot Oolong Cools / by Kang, Hway Chuan, author 655469, World Scientific (Online service) 655444

“…Thermodynamics is presented as the macroscopic approach to understanding Nature when heat is involved. The book draws upon the idea of microstates where that clarifies the macroscopic ideas: entropy of mixing of gases is linked to Boltzmann and Gibbs' entropy formulations, thus motivating the formulation of the chemical potential of non-ideal systems in terms of their activities. …”

Three Provocations for Civic Crowdfunding by Davies, Rodrigo

“…In doing so, it finds that civic crowdfunding is capable of vastly divergent outcomes, and argues that the extent to which civic crowdfunding produces outcomes that are beneficial, rather than harmful to the public sphere, will be determined by the extent to which the full range of stakeholders in civic life participate in the practice. …”

Prediction of Intermittent Fluctuations from Surface Pressure Measurements on a Turbulent Airfoil by Rudy, Samuel H., Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…We show that methods using data-driven models of low order dynamic variables outperform those without dynamic models and that unlike previous works, low dimensional initializations do not accurately predict observables with extreme events such as drag.…”

Imagining post-fossil tourism mobilities with Norwegian tourists by Hopkins, D, Landa-Mata, I, Kr Steen Jacobsen, J, Farstad, E, Higham, J

“…Sustainable mobility has become a catch-all term to describe forms, modes, policies and practices of mobility that are thought to have a lower environmental footprint and/or fewer social exclusions than the contemporary mobility system which is reliant on fossil fuels and private ownership. As a result, its main application has been in urban mobility contexts, often focused on everyday commuting journeys. …”
