'Plain and Old' by Bas Spliet

“…Following scholars like Jan de Vries and Bruno Blondé, I maintain that the downfall of the painting in Dutch interiors is best explained within the framework of the consumer revolution, on which this case study offers a fresh perspective by arguing that the ascent of fashion gave rise to a consumer version of creative destruction. …”

Skyscapers and greenery. An unprecedented symbiosis by Simona Talenti, Annarita Teodosio

“…Italy has also witnessed the growing custom of including green elements in tall buildings, in the envelopes, at the bases, sides or interiors. The use of vegetation not only concerns new constructions, but also the redevelopment of existing towers, sometimes offering a chance even to buildings that originally lack significant value. …”

Eddy-driven Zonal Jet Flows in the Laboratory by Read, Peter, Afanasyev, Yakov, Aurnou, Jonathan, Lemasquerier, Daphné

“…Zonal jets are a ubiquitous feature of the circulation of planetary atmospheres, oceans and interiors. Many of the dynamical mechanisms that lead to the formation and evolution of such jets can be reproduced and studied in laboratory experiments, which have proved to be important sources of insight for understanding the nature of planetary jets. …”

‘Poor little princess’: Queen Victoria’s Court as a Site of Imperial Conquest by Chandrica Barua

“…The messy and circuitous archives of Gouramma reveal the story of a colonized, racialized, exteriorized colonial subject becoming an ornamental interior of the Empire. Gouramma had found herself in 1850s England, displaced from her homeland and culture, anglicized and Christianized, pruned and displayed as the glorious civilizational project of the Empire, and yet never truly being an inhabitant of Victorian interiors. …”

Development and Performance Evaluation of Light Shelves Using Width-Adjustable Reflectors by Heangwoo Lee, Seonghyun Park, Janghoo Seo

“…Most studies have focused on light shelves, which are daylighting systems used for reducing the lighting energy required for the interiors of buildings. However, the existing light shelves cannot actively deal with external environmental factors, which often lead to an infringement of the right to light during the night when the performance of the light shelf deteriorates. …”

Nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations: A hidden driver in binary neutron star inspiral gravitational waves by Bin Hong, Tongqi Liang, Zhongzhou Ren

“…In this study, we employ three different nucleon-nucleon SRC models in neutron star interiors to assess their effects on gravitational waves during binary neutron star (BNS) inspiral phase. …”

IMAGES OF THE PAST AND THE PRESENT IN RUSSIAN UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS by Marina A. Vasilieva

“…The author has chosen university museums as a material for the research, because at the time of their appearance they represented the most relevant and progressive ideas of the Enlightenment and today they are also significant centers of education and communication. Their developed interiors use such ancient images as architectural details and images of ancient philosophers, which was common for the 18th-19th century. …”

The Heating Efficiency of Hot Jupiters from a Data-driven Perspective by Sheng Jin, Dong-Hong Wu, Yi-Xuan Cao, Zi-Yi Guo

“…By connecting planetary thermal evolution models with the observed properties of hot Jupiters using hierarchical Bayesian models, a theoretical parameter called the heating efficiency has been introduced to describe the heating of the interiors of these planets. Previous studies have shown that the marginal distribution of this heating-efficiency parameter has a single-peak distribution along the planetary equilibrium temperature ( T _eq ). …”

Preparing strong and ductile AZ80 Mg alloy via warm rotary swaging by Zhenghao Li, Mengning Xu, Kaixuan Zhou, Yang Cao, Yonghao Zhao

“…The sample processed by 260°C-swaging and water cooling has a nano-structural hierarchy consisting of bimodal grain size distributions and high densities of nano-precipitates located at grain boundaries of the ultrafine grains and at coarse-grain interiors, and shows a gradient hardness distribution from the periphery to center of the rod; Correspondingly, the 260 °C swaged sample shows outstanding combinations of strength and ductility at both the peripheral and central regions.…”
