In this analysis, three types of nonuniform distribution of permeability are analyzed. For the first typed, the permeability varies in a radial direction, i.e., the permeability of the inside part is lower than that of the ...

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the
