Correction of procedure for conversion of gas-dynamic characteristics of high-pressure centrifugal сompressor stage in case of frequency change rotor rotation by A. D. Vanyashov

“…The proposed corrected method of conversion of gas-dynamic characteristics of high-pressure stage of turbocharger operating in the area of high circumferential speeds (conditional Mach numbers > 0,5) to other rotor speeds is given in the work, taking into account deviation from kinematic and dynamic similarity conditions. The method of combined control due to creation of swirling of flow in front of impeller and simultaneous change of rotation speed is considered. …”

Native American Women as Palimpsestic Apparitions in Alejandro Gonzales Iñárritu’s The Revenant by M. Elise Marubbio

“…This reading engages the dialogical tension between Iñárritu’s representation of his two primary Indigenous women—the “ghost” of Glass’ wife and Powaqa—allowing us to explore the hegemonic power of cinematic tropes in residual form. Ultimately, as Indigenous responses are brought to bear witness, we are asked to consider our ongoing attachment to particular tropes and depictions of Indigenous women even as we attempt to critique them.…”
