The Legacies of Lockdown: Moral Logics of Exchange and Mistrust in Postpandemic China

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When Shanghai entered an extended lockdown under China's Zero‐COVID policy in spring 2022, residents found themselves confined within their residential compounds, cut off from conventional supply chains, and dependent on improvised systems of local provisioning and state rationing. From the perspective of economic anthropology, such conditions

Preliminary analysis of scour due to unsteady plunging jets

open access: yes, 2018
Scour process due to plunging jets is one of the most relevant topics for hydraulic engineers, especially because of the consequences of an excessive erosion. Generally, a scour process takes place downstream of hydraulic structures and its mechanism and

Laboratory Tests of Scour at a Seawall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A set of medium-scale laboratory tests of wave-induced scour at seawalls has been performed in a flume at HR Wallingford. The methodology is presented along with test conditions and summarized results.

Effective Equilibrium Reaction Zone Modeling of Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction: A Scenario Analysis

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
The study presents a dynamic zonal model for hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) in direct current arc furnaces, predicting time‐dependent behavior of metal, slag, and off‐gas. The study considers various industrial scenarios to quantify energy demand, hydrogen utilization, degree of reduction, and other operational sensitivities.

Characteristics and Mechanism of Downflow in Front of a Cylindrical Pier with Clear-Water Local Scour

open access: yes
Local scour often causes pier instability; however, the characteristics and mechanism of downflow, representing one of the crucial flow structures, are still unclear. In this paper, the interaction between the downflow and the horseshoe vortex system and

Flood infrastructure: Localized scour at piano key weirs

open access: yes, 2020
Historic growth in the US coupled with observed hydrologic changes have created an increased demand for sustainable flood protection. One approach to passing floodwaters is nonlinear weirs such as labyrinth and Piano Key weirs (PK weirs).

Perfluorohexanone for Clean Fire Suppression: Mechanisms, System Design, Applications, and Future Directions

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Driven by halon and high GWP agent phase out, perfluorohexanone is increasingly deployed in enclosures such as data centers, marine machinery spaces, and industrial process lines. This review summarizes application performance, discharge and distribution design, material compatibility, and byproduct control and maps practical gaps for large volume and ...

Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

Creating a Masterpiece. The Road to (and Beyond) Woodward and Hoffmann's 1969 Angewandte Chemie Treatise

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This publication describes how R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann crafted their masterpiece publications. Illustrations include Woodward's first draft of the famous “Violations There are none. Nor can violations be expected of so fundamental a principle of maximum bonding.” Original but discarded text shows the stepwise paths toward the W‐H masterpieces.
