Aerodynamic Drag and Drag Reduction
41st Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2003An assessment of the role of fluid dynamic resistance and/or aerodynamic drag and the relationship to energy use in the United States is presented. Existing data indicates that up to 25% of the total energy consumed in the United States is used to overcome aerodynamic drag, 27% of the total energy used in the United States is consumed by transportation

International Economics and Economic Policy, 2010
Between 1995 and 2001, Jeffrey Sachs and Andrew Warner published a series of influential studies examining mining and energy’s role in economic growth. Their principle finding was that economies heavily dependent on extractive activities in 1971 grew more slowly than non-extractive economies over the next 19 years.

Digital Creativity, 2010
Drawing on the topological approach Jacques Lacan developed late in his career, this paper explores the relation between a user and an avatar interpreted as prosthetic, so that an avatar is seen as a prosthetic consciousness and unconscious, a user's virtual ‘Self’.

Gender has been under-theorized within studies of people of African descent. This problem has led to the misunderstanding, suppression, and exclusion of transgendered and gender non-conforming people's experiences and identities within research on black sexuality, including black queer sexuality.

Drag and drag partition on rough surfaces
Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1992An analytic treatment of drag and drag partition on rough surfaces is given. The aims are to provide simple predictive expressions for practical applications, and to rationalize existing laboratory and atmospheric data into a single framework. Using dimensional analysis and two physical hypotheses, theoretical predictions are developed for total stress

The origin of inertia has intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. Inertial frames of reference permeate our daily life. The inertial and centrifugal forces, such as the pull and push that we feel when our vehicle accelerates, brakes and turns, arise because of changes in velocity relative to uniformly moving inertial frames.

The Carnival Drag Grotesque: A Theory of Drag
2020This thesis explores drag as a fascinating performance medium with a rich and complex history. The thesis is presented as intertextual, comprising two parts: a body of creative works and a written paper. Drag as a male cross-dressing performance is documented to contextualise contemporary drag as an important LGBTIQA+ performance medium.
