Hobbes and the tragedy of democracy by Holman, Christopher

“…For Hobbes these two conditions combine to render democracy a tragic regime. Democracy is tragic to the extent that it must be a regime of self-limitation, there existing no ethical standard external to society that may intervene so as to guide our political self-activity, and yet the structure of deliberation in democratic assemblies tends to render such self-limitation impossible. …”

Effects of Tip Clearance and Surface Roughness on Small-Scale Turbopump Impeller Performance by Ruecker, Kinjal A. L.

“…The analysis identified two distinct flow regimes based on tip clearance: above 5% of tip clearance, the losses are predominantly due to blade tip leakage flow, whereas below this threshold, losses are governed by both secondary flow and blade tip leakage flow. …”

Dynamical blockade in a single-mode bosonic system by Ghosh, Sanjib, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin

“…We find that the underlying mechanism for the blockade is general, enhancing antibunching in the strongly nonlinear regime and inducing it in the weakly nonlinear regime, without fine-tuning the system parameters. …”

Non-equilibrium fluctuations for a spatial logistic branching process with weak competition by Tendron, T

“…We consider the weak competition regime where <em>c</em> tends to zero, corresponding to a local carrying capacity tending to infinity like 1/<em>c</em> as <em>c</em> vanishes.…”

A study on dense plasmas using molecular dynamics and X-ray scattering techniques by Mabey, P

Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”
