Secular stagnation or stagnation policy? A post-Steindlian view* [PDF]

European Journal of Economics and Economic Policies: Intervention, 2016
The current debate on secular stagnation is suffering from some vagueness and several other shortcomings. The same is true for the economic policy implications. Therefore, I provide an alternative view on stagnation tendencies based on Josef Steindl's contributions.

The Structural Refinement of Commercial‐Purity Copper Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing with Low Strain Amplitude

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Equal channel angular pressing of commercial pure copper under low strain amplitude (≈0.48) induces concurrent continuous and localized discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, forming a duplex structure influenced by strain heterogeneity and recovery. Moderate hardening after 4–12 passes results from progressive high‐angle grain boundary formation via

Computational Fluid Dynamics of Blood Flow in an Extracorporeal Blood Circuit for the Analysis of Thrombogenic Hemodynamic Factors

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2011
Blood flow in a filter for an extracorporeal blood circuit was analyzed numerically to assess fluid mechanical quantities related to thrombogenesis. Results showed stagnant flow regions, in particular at the downstream side of the ceiling of a filter.

Controlling Legionella pneumophila in Showerheads: Combination of Remedial Intervention and Preventative Flushing

Microorganisms, 2023
Shock chlorination and remedial flushing are suggested to address Legionella pneumophila (Lp) contamination in buildings or during their (re)commissioning. However, data on general microbial measurements (adenosine tri-phosphate [ATP], total cell counts [

3D‐Printable Near‐Infrared‐Responsive Microscale Cantilever made of the Composite Consisting of Ceramic Particles and Graphene Flakes

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A near infrared‐responsive microscale cantilever is developed using a 3D‐printable composite based on photocurable resin consisting of sepiolite and graphene flakes. The material absorbs 1064 nm light, causing shape transformation with an average displacement of 1.3 mm in 1.7 s. Displacement is measured via video recording.

Electricity Generation From Ambient Water Evaporation in the Absence of Sunlight via PVA‐Based Porous Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, a water‐evaporation driven energy harvester is devised that works even in the absence of sunlight. This is achieved by combining PVA hydrogel with thermoelectrics (TEG) to directly capture energy from water evaporation. Under mild conditions (RH 40%, T of 26 °C, and 2.8 m s−1 wind), 1.71 mW (1.02 W m−2) power can be generated, >3 fold ...
