Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sociolinguistic research has long documented the appropriation of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) across media including film, music and advertising. In this article, we add to this body of work by exploring the digital recontextualisation of a subset of AAVE features as ‘TikTok/internet language’.

Parrondo games as lattice gas automata [PDF]
, 2001 Parrondo games are coin flipping games with the surprising property that alternating plays of two losing games can produce a winning game. We show that this phenomenon can be modelled by probabilistic lattice gas automata.

Resonant ratcheting of a Bose-Einstein condensate
, 2007 We study the rectification process of interacting quantum particles in a periodic potential exposed to the action of an external ac driving. The breaking of spatio-temporal symmetries leads to directed motion already in the absence of interactions.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Tree stems in Amazonian floodplains emit substantial methane (CH4), yet controls on emission variability remain unclear. Emissions span orders of magnitude between várzea (nutrient‐rich) and igapó (nutrient‐poor) forests and among trees, suggesting controls beyond flooding.

Applied SciencesThe present study intends to assess the ratcheting response of SA508 and SA333 steel alloys subjected to asymmetric loading cycles at various operating temperatures of 298, 573, and 623K through a hardening framework developed by Ahmadzadeh–Varvani (A-V)

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2017 The prevention of excessive deformation by thermal ratcheting is important in the design of high-temperature components of fast breeder reactors (FBR). In an experimental study that simulated a fast breeder reactor vessel near the coolant surface, it was

Transport of free surface liquid films and drops by external ratchets and self-ratcheting mechanisms
, 2010 We discuss the usage of ratchet mechanisms to transport a continuous phase in several micro-fluidic settings. In particular, we study the transport of a dielectric liquid in a heterogeneous ratchet capacitor that is periodically switched on and off.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to habitat destruction, economic expansion, and insufficient conservation efforts. Traditional mitigation strategies, which focus on minimizing harm rather than reversing damage, are inadequate for achieving net biodiversity gain. Objectives This article introduces the restoration hierarchy, a

LOW CYCLE FATIGUE LIFE PREDICTIONS OF 15CrMoR PARENT MATERIAL AND WELD METAL
Jixie qiangdu, 2016 Butt-weld specimen has been made for coke drum material 15 Cr MoR. For both parent and weld materials,uniaxial tensile tests and uniaxial ratcheting tests have been conducted under different temperatures.
