Why do Public Debates Escalate? Trigger Points and the Moral Dynamics of “Hot Politics”

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Escalating, emotionally charged, and moralized forms of controversy are a central feature of contemporary politics. Our study develops a framework for understanding how political debates between ordinary citizens become heated; why certain issues provoke particularly strong emotions; and how this affective potential is weaponized by ...

Privileged Precarity: How the Mobile Middle Class Leverage Housing Insecurity as Labour Market Strategy

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does the ability to weather insecurity give some an upper‐hand over others? This paper examines the interrelationship between housing and labour market precarity among middle class young professionals. Drawing on interviews with residents of co‐living schemes—for‐profit shared housing where tenants are on temporary rental contracts—it ...

Skimming Flow in Stepped Spillways

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1990
Flow on stepped spillways can be divided into nappe and skimming flow regimes. This technical note presents an approximate method of predicting the characteristics of skimming flow on stepped spillways. Expressing the turbulent shear stress between the skimming stream and the recirculating fluid, trapped by the stream between the steps, in terms of a ...

Energy Dissipation on Stepped Spillways

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1993
Potentially high energy dissipation on stepped overflow spillways would imply a significant reduction of the size of downstream stilling basins. The amount of energy loss on such spillways under skimming‐flow conditions is examined experimentally for structures with a moderate number of steps and a width‐to‐height ratio equal to 0.7.

Dissipation efficiency of stepped spillways

2020
This study on hydraulic structures used for dissipating energy downstream from dams offers interesting suggestions for applied research aiming to improve hydraulic efficiency and constrain construction costs without neglecting environmental aspects. Extensive experimental tests have been carried out in the laboratory of Dipartimento di Ingegneria delle
