Material Loss: Multimodality and Mourning in B.S. Johnson’s The Unfortunates and Anne Carson’s Nox

open access: yesStudia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis, 2023
B.S. Johnson’s The Unfortunates (1969) and Anne Carson’s Nox (2010) are among the most formally inventive and materially unique literary responses to personal loss. The first novel-in-a-box in English

Recent developments on manufacturing and characterization of fused quartz crucibles for monocrystalline silicon for photovoltaic applications

open access: yesOpen Ceramics, 2023
The dominating technology of solar cell production today is based on monocrystalline silicon, produced mostly by the Czochralski process. Recently, the solar cell industry, has started to move towards growing larger and better-performing ingots.

Passive Control of Base Pressure: A Review

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
In the present world, passive control finds application in various areas like flow over blunt projectiles, missiles, supersonic parallel diffusers (for cruise correction), the engine of jets, static testbeds of rockets, the ports of internal combustion ...

Change in drag, apparent slip and optimum air layer thickness for laminar flow over an idealised superhydrophobic surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Analytic results are derived for the apparent slip length, the change in drag and the optimum air layer thickness of laminar channel and pipe flow over an idealised superhydrophobic surface, i.e. a gas layer of constant thickness retained on a wall.

Drag-and-Guess: Drag-and-Drop with Prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Drag-and-guess is an extension of drag-and-drop that uses predictions which is based on application specific knowledge. As the user begins to drag an object, the system predicts the drop target and presents the result to the user. When the target is hidden in a closed folder or beneath other windows, the system makes it temporarily visible.

A Direct Optimization Algorithm for Problems with Differential-Algebraic Constraints: Application to Heat and Mass Transfer

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
In this article, an optimization task with nonlinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) is considered. As a main result, a new solution procedure is designed. The computational procedure represents the sequential optimization approach.

Model-based electrospinning process design for nanofibers production

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences, 2018
The main concept of the electrospinning process modeling is to overcome difficulties associated with the experimental-based optimization procedure. Thus, 3-dimensional polynomial models were discussed in this work.

Impact of Variable Atmospheric and Oceanic Form Drag on Simulations of Arctic Sea Ice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Over Arctic sea ice, pressure ridges and floe and melt pond edges all introduce discrete obstructions to the flow of air or water past the ice and are a source of form drag.

All-propulsion design of the drag-free and attitude control of the European satellite GOCE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper concerns the drag-free and attitude control (DFAC) of the European Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer satellite (GOCE), during the science phase.

Topological Dragging of Solitons [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2005
We put forward properties of solitons supported by optical lattices featuring topological dislocations, and show that solitons experience attractive and repulsive forces around the dislocations. Suitable arrangements of dislocations are even found to form soliton traps, and the properties of such solitons are shown to crucially depend on the trap ...
