Dynamics of bubble absorption over porous membranes in an immersed medium

Droplet, EarlyView.
The dynamics of a bubble interacting with a flat, porous superhydrophobic membrane underwater has been illustrated. Abstract Porous superhydrophobic (SHP) membranes are gaining considerable attention due to their excellent underwater absorption and drag reduction properties. They exploit the Cassie‒Baxter state of wetting to remove the bubble in a fast

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

All the bedrooms a stage: Reconceptualizing sex as “performance” to sex as “rehearsal”

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the United States, sex is often spoken about in terms of performance, and naturally invokes language of theatricality. Sexual performance has been used as an umbrella term to refer to sexual satisfaction, behavior, embodiment, and also pathology in terms of conditions such as erectile dysfunction.
