Working‐Class Muscles? Co‐Operative Gyms in Interwar Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract The Health & Strength League's network of co‐operative gymnasiums constituted one of interwar Britain's most significant yet overlooked physical culture institutions, affiliating over 800 gyms across Britain and Ireland by 1939. Drawing on Health & Strength magazine's editorial content and reader contributions, this article argues that these ...

Modification of three-dimensional transition in the wake of a rotationally oscillating cylinder [PDF]
, 2010 A study of the flow past an oscillatory rotating cylinder has been conducted, where the frequency of oscillation has been matched to the natural frequency of the vortex street generated in the wake of a stationary cylinder, at Reynolds number 300.

Description, Articulation and Limitations in the Social Theory of Insurance
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There have been surprisingly few sustained efforts to explain or theorise the role insurance plays in society. Even the most theoretically inflected insurance scholarship, emanating from governmentality and Actor Network Theory scholarship, tends to be grounded in empirical cases, set in particular periods and places, and it is often ...

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid MechanicsFish swimming in unsteady environments can exploit the Kármán vortex streets generated by upstream obstacles to reduce energetic cost or enhance propulsion, offering inspiration for bio-inspired marine energy harvesting. Using a two-dimensional numerical

The N-Vortex Problem on a Symmetric Ellipsoid: A Perturbation Approach
, 2007 We consider the N-vortex problem on a ellipsoid of revolution. Applying standard techniques of classical perturbation theory we construct a sequence of conformal transformations from the ellipsoid into the complex plane.

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract The rise of social media in the digital era poses unprecedented challenges to authoritarian regimes that aim to influence public attitudes and behaviors. To address these challenges, we argue that authoritarian regimes have adopted a decentralized approach to produce and disseminate propaganda on social media.

Analysis of flow and energy dissipation in pump turbine with small guide vane opening
Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid MechanicsIn this study, a detailed flow state analysis of a reversible pump turbine (RPT) under small guide vane opening conditions was conducted using both numerical simulation and experimental methods on three analysis planes at 0.5 span. The entropy production

Hollow vortices and minimal surfaces [PDF]
, 2014 We consider an overdetermined elliptic problem known as the hollow vortex problem. We prove that the solutions to this problem are in 1:1 correspondence with minimal graphs bounded by horizontal symmetry lines.
