Plotinus’ νοητή ουσία means substance paths to the Absolute by Robert Warchał

“…Discovering and developing this truth leads to transcendence, which is the criterion for transforming an entity burdened by externality into a supra-gignified entity, one that is free from the limitations of time and space. The sensual world, represented by the κόσμος αισθητός, can be an obstacle to learning about one's own nature and realizing the path toward liberation from the yoke of the animal self. …”

Orbital-order as the driving mechanism for superconductivity in ruthenates by Álvaro Adrián Carrasco Álvarez, Sébastien Petit, Wilfrid Prellier, Manuel Bibes, Julien Varignon

“…While the Jahn-Teller effect is at the core of a strong electron-phonon coupling producing insulating states and orbital and bond orderings, its implication in superconductivity remains unobserved. Here, with parameter-free first-principles calculations, we reveal that superconductivity in A2RuO4 (A = Sr, Ca) emerges due to an electron-phonon mechanism associated with the proximity of an orbital and bond-ordered phase. …”

Mathematical Modeling of Coccidiosis Dynamics in Chickens with Some Control Strategies by Yustina A. Liana, Mary C. Swai

“…The effective reproduction number is obtained using the next-generation matrix method, and the local stability of the equilibria of the model is established. The disease-free equilibrium is proved to be locally stable when the effective reproduction number is less than unity. …”

A Semianalytical Solution for Passively Loaded Piles Adjacent to Surcharge Load by Hao Zhang, Minglei Shi, Lei Yang, Yuancheng Guo

“…An analytical solution for the deformation and internal force of such piles was proposed using the transfer matrix method, in which the transfer matrix coefficients for piles in free, plastic, and elastic zones were analytically obtained by considering the second-order axial force effect caused by lateral loading and soil yielding based on the triparameter soil model. …”

Finite Element Modeling and Analysis of Nonlinear Impact and Frictional Motion Responses Including Fluid—Structure Coupling Effects by Yong Zhao

“…A nonlinear three dimensional (3D) single rack model and a nonlinear 3D whole pool multi-rack model are developed for the spent fuel storage racks of a nuclear power plant (NPP) to determine impacts and frictional motion responses when subjected to 3D excitations from the supporting building floor. The submerged free standing rack system and surrounding water are coupled due to hydrodynamic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using potential theory. …”

The Impact of Different Drying Techniques on the Physicochemical and Quality Characteristics of Oil Palm Fruit Mesocarp (Elaeis guineensis) by Vida Gyimah Boadu, Edward Ken Essuman, Gifty Serwaa Otoo, Kate Bigson

“…The dried mesocarp had low moisture content (1.49-3.28%), high crude fat content (78.10-90.60%), carbohydrate (4.41-15.12%), crude protein (0.93-3.40%), and ash (0.53-1.15%). The free fatty acid (FFA) (1.06-3.54) and acid value (AV) (2.17 to 8.83 mgKOH/g) were lower because the samples were heated at 100°C for 30 min. …”
