“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

Experimental investigation of forced convective heat transfer and fluid flow in a mini heat pipe wit

Journal of Thermal Engineering
In the present study, the convective heat transfer coefficient of water in a laminar flow regime under constant inlet temperature conditions inside a flat mini heat pipe was investigated ex-perimentally.

Effects of essential amino acids on phagostimulation and reproduction in adults of the Mediterranean fruit fly Efectos de amino ácidos esenciales en la fago‐estimulación y reproducción en adultos de la mosca de las frutas del Mediterráneo

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
The phagostimulation and reproductive effects of individual essential amino acids, without other nutrient except fructose, were investigated. Methionine, Arginine and Leucine display significantly higher phagostimulation strength than fructose. Arginine and Methionine showed a significant improvement in reproductive activity compared to other tested ...

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Stability of Viscous Three‐Dimensional Stratified Couette Flow via Dispersion and Mixing

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 2435-2490, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores the stability of stratified Couette flow in the viscous 3d$3d$ Boussinesq equations. In this system, mixing effects arise from the shearing background, and gravity acts as a restoring force leading to dispersive internal gravity waves.

Optimization of the Fin Heat Pipe for Ventilating and Air Conditioning with a Genetic Algorithm [PDF]

, 2006
This paper illustrates that use of a heat pipe as a heat-reclaiming device can significantly influence the air-conditioning system. It analyzes the heat transfer model of the uniform annular fin heat pipe under the condition of air conditioning.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Study of Liquid Flow Through a Channel With Adjacent Porous Domains of Different Material Properties

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT A common subject in engineering disciplines is the study of flow in and around fractures or channels with adjacent porous domains. In this work, a unified approach based on the Theory of Porous Media (TPM) with an embedded Phase‐Field (PF) fracture model is used to investigate a flow scenario, where a channel separates two porous domains with ...
