Effects of different working gases on the heat transfer enhancement performance of a heating tube with spiral insert under oscillatory flow

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2023
The working gas type had an important effect on the heat transfer performance of the turbulence device in the heater of Stirling engine, but the related researches were scarce, especially under the oscillatory flow.

Computing generating functions of ordered partitions with the transfer-matrix method [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2006
An ordered partition of $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is a sequence of disjoint and nonempty subsets, called blocks, whose union is $[n]$. The aim of this paper is to compute some generating functions of ordered partitions by the transfer-matrix method.

The effects of climate on bat morphology across space and time

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
According to Bergmann's and Allen's rules, climate change may drive morphological shifts in species, affecting body size and appendage length. These rules predict that species in colder climates tend to be larger and have shorter appendages to improve thermoregulation. Bats are thought to be sensitive to climate and are therefore expected to respond to

Relational Responsibility and Host Communities in Complex and Contentious Environmental Situations: Coastal Fisheries and Treated Water at the Fukushima Dai'ichi Nuclear Plant, Japan

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Treated water releases into the Pacific from the Fukushima Dai'ichi nuclear plant in Japan have drawn opposition from fishing communities, who accused proponents of acting irresponsibly in commencing releases before gaining local support. The controversy reflects questions in social licence to operate and social impact assessment about how ...

On the maximum of r-Stirling numbers

open access: yesAdvances in Applied Mathematics, 2008
AbstractDetermining the location of the maximum of Stirling numbers is a well-developed area. In this paper we give the same results for the so-called r-Stirling numbers which are natural generalizations of Stirling numbers.

Electrophoresis of polyelectrolyte‐adsorbed soft particle with hydrophobic inner core

open access: yesELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
Abstract This article deals with the electrophoresis of hydrophobic colloids absorbed by a layer of polymers with an exponential distribution of the polymer segments. The functional groups present in the polymer layer further follow the exponential distribution.
