Nonlinear thermoelectricity in point-contacts at pinch-off: a catastrophe aids cooling

, 2013
We consider refrigeration and heat engine circuits based on the nonlinear thermoelectric response of point-contacts at pinch-off, allowing for electrostatic interaction effects.

Stimulating critical mathematical discussions in teacher education: use of indices such as the BMI as entry points

NOMAD Nordic Studies in Mathematics Education, 2017
The main purpose of our research project is to gain insight into, and develop teaching on indices and their applications in society. In this paper, the focus is to present insights into teachers’ reflections when discussing the Body Mass Index (BMI). Skovsmose ́s concept of mathemacy, and source criticism, are chosen as conceptual framework.

Likely equilibria of stochastic hyperelastic spherical shells and tubes [PDF]

, 2019
In large deformations, internally pressurised elastic spherical shells and tubes may undergo a limit-point, or inflation, instability manifested by a rapid transition in which their radii suddenly increase.

A curricular approach to develop autonomies from the mathematics and scientific education [PDF]

, 2018
The purpose of this work is to highlight how the current Spanish education system supports the development of both scientific and mathematic competences. We understand these competences as the set of skills and capabilities needed to use mathematics or
