Sword of heaven by Richard Wilson

“…It was Middleton’s tampering with Shakespeare’s text that transformed it from a drama of demonic substitution, focused on the ‘outward-sainted deputy’ [3.1.93] into an allegory of divine sovereignty, idealizing the monarch as a deus ex machina. If Shakespeare editions have been slow to absorb the news from Vienna that the schizophrenia of Measure for Measure is a result not of authorial despair, but of its having been constructed by two dramatists of distinct generations and mentalities, working some sixteen years apart, they have nonetheless always registered resistance in the play to this totalitarian project of putting power on display.…”

Geological Characterisation of Depleted Oil and Gas Reservoirs for Carbon Sequestration Potentials in a Field in the Niger Delta, Nigeria by Ajoke Celinah Ojo, Akaha Celestine Tse

“…The reservoir depth of at least 800 m, porosity and permeability of more than 10 percent and 20 mD, and a caprock thickness of at least 10 m, in addition to geothermal gradients of 13.46 to 33.66oC /km are the ideal conditions for the efficacy of storage. Comparison of the derived reservoir and seal properties such as porosity, permeability, thickness and depth with the minimum recommended site selection criteria shows that the reservoirs are potential candidates for carbon  geosequestration with a total theoretical storage capacity of 147MM tons. © JASEM …”

Prediction of thermal conductivity in CALF-20 with first-principles accuracy via machine learning interatomic potentials by Soham Mandal, Prabal K. Maiti

“…We predict that the anisotropic thermal transport in CALF-20, with κ below 1 Wm−1K−1 at 300 K, is ideal for thermoelectric applications. Our analysis reveals a weak temperature dependence (κ ~ 1/T 0.56) and near invariance with pressure in κ value of CALF-20, which stands out from the typical trend observed in crystalline materials. …”

Autoritarismo y liberalismo. Una mirada a partir de la obra de Florentino González a la ideología liberal en Colombia en el siglo xix by Fernando Tamayo Arboleda

“…Este artículo realiza un análisis crítico de la ideología liberal y del Partido Liberal en Colombia a partir del análisis del discurso de la obra de Florentino González, que pretende mostrar cómo la ideología liberal del siglo xix en Colombia avalaba prácticas autoritarias, lo que derivaba en que el sustento discursivo del Partido Liberal estuviera fundado en ideales autoritarios. Los argumentos ofrecidos en favor de la imposición del federalismo y la democracia representativa, de la configuración de Colombia como un país social y económicamente exitoso a través de la imposición de las instituciones británicas y estadounidenses, de la mayoría política como criterio de legitimación de las decisiones políticas, de la necesidad de retirar el Ejército como mecanismo de garantía de la ley y la implantación de un cuerpo civil en su lugar, son muestra de cómo el autoritarismo se moldeaba a partir de ideologías liberales.…”
