American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Arabic phrase Allāhu a‘lam—“God knows best”—is used frequently in everyday Muslim speech and to conclude seemingly assertive statements or fatwas. At its heart lies the recognition that God is the All‐Knowing, whereas humans know next to nothing. Reflecting on this recognition, this essay discusses Sufi refusals of the ethnographic project

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Systematic differences in eye gaze patterns emerge when attention is directed externally versus internally in non‐social contexts. Here we asked whether these differences also apply to structured social interactions. Gaze aversion during conversations may occur because conversation partners are referencing an object in their environment (an ...

Hydrodynamic characteristics of unequal-diameter side-by-side cylinders at low Reynolds numbers
Applied Ocean ResearchThe flow around two cylinders arranged side-by-side with unequal diameters was numerically analyzed at a low Reynolds number. Re=100 is defined according to the diameter of the larger cylinder, and the gap ratio was fixed to G/D=1.

Which Decolonization? Theorizing Decolonization beyond Decoloniality and its Critics
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The debate on decolonial thought has reached an unhelpful stalemate. A core problem in assessing decolonial thought is that the term ‘decolonization’ has been stretched so widely that it now allows for many competing uses. For some critics of decolonial thought such as Nigerian philosopher Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò, this overuse points to conceptual ...

Application of engineering models to predict wake deflection due to a tilted wind turbine [PDF]
, 2012 It is a known fact that the power produced by wind turbines operating inside an array decreases due to the wake effects of the upstream turbines. It has been proposed previously to use the yaw mechanism as a potential means to steer the upstream wake away from downstream turbines, however such a mechanism introduces control complications due to ...
