Application of Navier-Stokes equations to high Knudsen number flow in a fine capillary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Several analytical and numerical techniques to solve the Navier-Stokes equations are known making its application convenient to fluid flows. However, it is perceived that these equations cannot describe gas flow in capillaries and microchannels, due to ...

Understanding Farmer Behaviour for Successful Climate Change Mitigation in Voluntary Initiatives

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Private and voluntary initiatives, such as voluntary carbon markets, can support public policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in agriculture. This study investigates the impact of behavioural factors (reluctance to change) and social dynamics (peer imitation) on the adoption of two mitigation practices on Swiss dairy and ...

Microbearing gas flow modeling by fractional derivative for entire Knudsen number range [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Rarefied gas flow is encountered in many technical applications as well as in scientific inquiry. It may appear in low-pressure or vacuum environmental conditions and, on the other hand at standard atmospheric conditions.

Nordic legal overseers and institutional openness in crises: Challenges and adaptation during the COVID‐19 pandemic

open access: yesScandinavian Political Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract We analyze challenges and adaptation strategies of Nordic legal overseers, the Parliamentary Ombudsmen and Chancellors of Justice in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, amid the COVID‐19 crisis. We study how the accountability capacities of the legal overseers were affected when standard practices of inclusive decision‐making were severed ...

GOVERNING THE CLOUD: Infrastructural Statecraft and the Political Ecology of Digital Expansion in Oregon

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

Why do Public Debates Escalate? Trigger Points and the Moral Dynamics of “Hot Politics”

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Escalating, emotionally charged, and moralized forms of controversy are a central feature of contemporary politics. Our study develops a framework for understanding how political debates between ordinary citizens become heated; why certain issues provoke particularly strong emotions; and how this affective potential is weaponized by ...

Self‐Description and the Agro‐Industry's Response to Environmental Crises

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores how self‐descriptions can orient organisations towards trajectories that sustain activities that contribute to environmental crises while simultaneously acknowledging both the crises themselves and the need for transformative responses.

When Accounting Qualities Collide: Accruals Quality, Comparability and Information Risk in SEO Underpricing

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how accounting quality attributes jointly mitigate underpricing associated with two dimensions of information risk in seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). In information environments with relatively more potent information asymmetry, the evidence suggests that accruals quality and accounting comparability act as substitutes; i.e ...
