Comparison of Aerosol Acidity Based on a Direct Measurement Method and a Chemical Thermodynamic Model by Qinping Song, Kazuo Osada

“…The Extended Aerosol Inorganic Model IV (E-AIM IV) is frequently used for this purpose; however, due to the limited number of available direct measurement methods of aerosol acidity, there is still a certain degree of uncertainty with regard to how accurately the simulation results reflect reality. In this study, a new pH testing paper method for the direct measurement of aerosol pH is used to measure the pH (pHmeas) of aerosol particle samples. …”

“I Put Myself Back in the Narrative”: Hamilton as Founders Fanfiction by Jeremy Brett

“…Miranda performs the same kind of narrative reshaping of Hamilton’s life to conform to a particular view of Hamilton, much as historians and authors before him have done in the creation of what is known as “Founders chic”—the stressing of American Founders’ virtues and character at the expense of historical dimensionality and reality. Furthermore, the play has itself become a source of multiple instances of fanfiction, signifying significant emotional connections in the story that reflect Miranda’s own self-identification with Hamilton.…”

(Im)mobile phones by Alette Schoon, Larry Strelitz

“…While research on mobile phones in developed countries suggest these devices facilitate the creation of a society free from the confines of local geography and community, where the user can craft an individualised networked sociability, this may not be the reality in the global south. In our study, mobile phones were seen to amplify a communal sociability where privacy is largely absent from the densely contiguous neighbourhood where life happens on the streets for all to see. …”
