Navigating troubled waters: Posthumanist vulnerability and entanglement in Richard Powers's Playground (2024)

open access: yesOrbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Richard Powers's most recent novels to date—The Overstory (2018), Bewilderment (2021), and Playground (2024)—engage with some of the environmental and technological threats that loom over our planet, such as deforestation, species loss, the degradation of the ocean bottom, and the risks associated with the development of generative AI ...

CALCULATION OF HYDRO-STREAM PARAMETERS DURING FLUID ACCELERATION IN HALF-CLOSED CHAMBER WITH EXIT TO FLAT SURFACE

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений и энергетических объединенний СНГ: Энергетика, 2005
The paper presents a method for calculation of maximum fluid velocity in a process chamber that is installed with a gap relative to the surface to be cleaned while burning gaseous mixture composed of 2H2 + O2 in the chamber.

A review of the supercritical state of eruption‐fed volcanic density currents in subaerial and subaqueous settings

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subaerial Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) and Subaqueous Eruption‐Fed Density Currents (SEFDCs) produced during volcanic eruptions can present major hazards to surrounding communities and ecosystems. The bedforms deposited by these volcanic density currents can provide insights into the nature of transport and depositional processes, which

Dead time, hard time, and narrative redemption: Delimiting the life proper

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Is every detail of your life a candidate for the meaningful, valuable, or worthwhile? If not, which do you exclude? Thaddeus Metz nominates “dead time”: the nail‐clipping, line‐waiting, traffic‐jam enduring, generally commonplace moments of our life. Dead time, while prevalent, is not remarkable. Metz recommends that we set at least some of it

Fugitive Junctures: Life‐Seeking, Route‐Finding and the Mobile Ensemble at Kenya's Borders

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Fugitivity has become an important conceptual frame to understand the illegalised mobilities of contemporary migrants in conjunction with enslaved people's historical lines of flight as spatial praxes to seize their own freedom. Thinking from Kenya, and drawing on research with migrants, border officials, activists, police and smugglers,

CFD‐Based and Control‐Oriented Modeling of a Counterflow Heat Exchanger With Utilization of Parameter Identification

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Counterflow heat exchangers (CHXs) thermally couple consumers and producers to a district heating network (DHN). Fluctuating loads and control actions naturally lead to unsteady operation conditions of the network and its components, posing a challenge for DHN models and CHX parameterizations based on Nusselt correlations that assume steady ...

Stereoscopic Serpentine Channel‐Based Cold Plate Design for Enhanced Liquid Cooling of EV Batteries

open access: yesBattery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
The Graphical Abstract shows a 16‐cell battery pack used in the numerical study, along with temperature contours on the surface of coolant flow channels and a transient average surface temperature plot. A serpentine base plate and a stereoscopic serpentine cold plate are investigated, and the results are compared.

Feasibility Study of implementing Wake Steering in Floating Wind Farms: Power Gain, Load Estimation and Economic Analysis

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the CONFLOWS project, a collaborative effort between DNV, Marine Power Systems (MPS) and Durham University. The project investigates the effects of wake steering from aerodynamic, structural and economic modelling perspectives, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its impact on performance and ...
