Unmarked Emotional States and the Affective Anchoring of Continuity
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Narratives around emotions often foreground remarkable episodes that interrupt situations, producing a “rollercoaster” image of emotional life that leaves its stability underdescribed. To analyze the emotional dimension of social continuity, this article theorizes unmarked emotional states (UES): culturally default, interactionally unobtrusive

Low‐Temperature Experimental Characterization of Magnetite‐Based Rock‐Bed Thermal Battery
Energy Storage, Volume 8, Issue 8, December 2026.The graphical abstract illustrates the proposed low‐temperature magnetite‐based rock‐bed thermal energy storage (RTES) concept for greenhouse applications and the corresponding experimental configuration. During charging, thermal energy is transferred from solar collectors to the RTES and is stored as sensible heat. During discharge, the stored heat is
