Cinema and human dignity: Pope Francis’s cinematic proposal and its relationship with filmic personalism by José-Alfredo Peris-Cancio, Ginés Marco

“…To answer this question, the meaning of Hollywood’s ‘filmic personalism’ as a cinematic philosophy and its relationship with film studies will be analysed. Following from this, the cinematographic phenomenology of film studies of French personalism will be related to Hollywood’s film personalism to show that there are elements of deep convergence around defending cinema as an art that serves personal dignity, despite certain aspects of difference. …”

Performance of the Compliant Foil Gas Seal with Surface Micro-Textured Top Foil by Jie Xu, Shurong Yu, Xuexing Ding, Haitao Jiang, Lu Li

“…The transient Reynolds equation considering the eccentric convergence problem and abrupt Rayleigh step changes is solved to analyze the static and dynamic characteristics. The results show that (i) compared with the directionality of the texture, the gas volume accommodated by the texture has a greater impact on the sealing performance, and a convergent texture can effectively control the leakage rate; (ii) when the texture depth exceeds 9 μm, the sealing system may be unstable; (iii) the compliant foil seal is well suited to higher-speed service conditions, and the inverted triangular texture shows the best comprehensive sealing performance.…”
