Soret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Flow Past a Vertical Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Viscosity by M. B. K. Moorthy, K. Senthilvadivu

“…The heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium subject to variable viscosity are numerically analyzed, by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy, and concentrations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations, using similarity transformations, and then solved by using Runge-Kutta-Gill method along with shooting technique. …”

Il valore sociale dei rifiuti. L’intreccio tra istituzioni e pratiche di recupero nello spazio urbano di Casablanca (Marocco) by Anna Karin Giannotta

“…By de-constructing the garbage collectors’ single-narration, I will propose a fluid description of their agency, in a constant tension with the institutions that dominate waste-governance processes. The focus on the socio-material interactions will lead me towards a repositioning on the very notions of informality and waste, both interpreted as driving resources of sharing processes between people, places and objects, in a local scenario where the complementarity between official and unofficial practices will stand out.…”
