City of God and the Duty of Just Memory
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract In a recent essay, Richard Miller claims that Augustine presumes a duty to remember justly in his City of God. However, Miller's brief reference to a presumed duty of “just memory” does not fully explain how Augustine conceptualizes this duty or how it relates to his theological concerns.

Mechanical behavior of hollow proppants based on finite element model
Energy Science & Engineering, 2021 Proppants are being increasingly used in hydraulic fracturing, which keep the fractures open. Progress has been made in developing hollow proppants that can be transported to the far end of the fractures to improve propped fracture conductivity.

REM: International Engineering JournalThe combination of acidizing and hydraulic fracturing, or proppant-acid fracturing, seems to be a very logical approach to achieve the maximum stimulated volume in tight gas reservoirs, since the acid solution can stimulate the deep microfracture network

‘There Has Been a Scandal’: Cultural Performers and the Strangers’ Churches of London
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite what one might assume to have been a rigid line between London's refugee community—with its strict brand of Protestantism—and the city's performance cultures—often the target of strict Protestants' ire—historical records reveal a number of overlaps between those domains.
