Evaluation of the Single-component Thermal Dust Emission Model in Cosmic Microwave Background Experiments by Hao Liu, Jia-Rui Li, Yi-Fu Cai

“…This can not only give a definite answer to the quality of current single-component approximations but also help determine preconditions of future multicomponent estimations. Upon the former, previous works usually depend on a more complicated model to improve the single-component dust emission; however, our method is free from any additional model, and is sensitive enough to directly discover a substantial discrepancy between the Planck High Frequency Instrument data (100–857 GHz) and associated single-component dust emission estimations. …”

On the art of designing effective space-times with free surface flows in Analogue Gravity by Bossard, Alexis, James, Nicolas, Jules, Valentin, Fourdrinoy, Johan, Robertson, Scott, Rousseaux, Germain

“…A single number is usually employed to classify trans-criticality namely the local depth Froude number which is the ratio between the local current speed and the local celerity of long gravity waves analogous to the light celerity. When the former reaches one, water waves are no more able to propagate upstream: the hydraulic black hole is a river of no return for them. …”
