RE teachers’ ways of balancing children’s existential concerns and the curriculum: mirrored through established RE approaches by Osbeck, C, Lilja, A, Fancourt, N

“…However, revisiting these approaches in combination with concrete examples of teachers’ experiences has brought our understanding further, and has also drawn attention to the need for awareness concerning the varying character of this relationship, as a tension, one between whose poles the teaching constantly moves or as one that falls apart in two different poles that do not necessarily need to be seen in the light of each other.…”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…The prediction and control of interfacial instabilities are crucial in vapor-liquid systems, such as rupture of thin films in heat exchangers of electric devices. The present work concerns the nonlinear dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing layers over a horizontal substrate, focusing on the effects of various interrelated physics on the gas-liquid interface. …”
