Design Mixers to Minimize Effects of Erosion and Corrosion Erosion by Julian Fasano, Eric E. Janz, Kevin Myers

“…These major parameters include (i) chemical environment, (ii) hardness of solids, (iii) density of solids, (iv) percent solids, (v) shape of solids, (vi) fluid regime (turbulent, transitional, or laminar), (vii) hardness of the mixer's wetted parts, (viii) hydraulic efficiency of the impeller (kinetic energy dissipation rates near the impeller blades), (ix) impact velocity, and (x) impact frequency. …”

A Quasi-Steady State Model of a Singularly Perturbed Wind Turbine with an Induction Generator and Nonlinear Frictions: A Bond Graph Approach by Aaron Padilla-Garcia, Gilberto Gonzalez-Avalos, Noe Barrera-Gallegos, Gerardo Ayala-Jaimes

“…The class of nonlinear systems modelled by bond graphs is defined by the product of state variables and nonlinear dissipation elements. In order to obtain the mathematical model of the singularly perturbed nonlinear systems, a lemma based on the junction structure of the bond graph with a preferred integral causality assignment is proposed. …”

Transient Response of Partially-Bonded Sandwich Plates Subject to Underwater Explosions by Zhanke Liu, Yin L. Young, Michael R. Motley

“…It was found that un-bonded sandwich plates receive lower impact energy, and are able to dissipate more energy through plastic deformation of the foam core, than perfectly bonded plates. …”

Seismic Performance of Steel Frames with Semirigid Connections by Iman Faridmehr, Mahmood Md. Tahir, Tom Lahmer, Mohd Hanim Osman

“…Besides, the seismic performance of steel portal frames with semirigid connections was investigated through time history analysis where kinematic hysteresis model was assigned to semirigid connections to account for energy dissipation and unloading stiffness. Based on the results of the study, it was found that generally semirigid connections influenced the force distribution which resulted in the decrease in base shear and lighter frame compared to the rigid one. …”

MILITARISM AND FEAR IN A TIME OF PANDEMIC IN THE PHILIPPINES: TOWARDS A THEOLOGY OF TRANSGRESSION by K.C. Meneses

“… The pandemic was an opportunity for authoritarian regimes to intensify militarism and cultivate fear, resulting in the disablement of the most vulnerable in society. Fear dissipates when basic freedoms are at stake. People who once were afraid have learned to transgress, “to step across”, because they just had enough of the Duterte regime’s deception. …”

Investigating the role of divertor geometry on density build-up in the island divertor by N. Maaziz, F. Reimold, V.R. Winters, D. Bold, Y. Feng, V. Perseo

“…The divertor capabilities such as particle exhaust or radiative power dissipation scale with the divertor density. However, significantly lower divertor density has been obtained in W7-X in comparison to tokamaks and no high-recycling scaling is observed. …”

100 nm AlSb/InAs HEMT for Ultra-Low-Power Consumption, Low-Noise Applications by Cyrille Gardès, Sonia Bagumako, Ludovic Desplanque, Nicolas Wichmann, Sylvain Bollaert, François Danneville, Xavier Wallart, Yannick Roelens

“…Extrinsic cut-off frequencies fT/fmax of 100/125 GHz together with minimum noise figure NFmin=0.5 dB and associated gain Gass=12 dB at 12 GHz have been obtained at drain bias of only 80 mV, corresponding to 4 mW/mm DC power dissipation. This demonstrates the great ability of AlSb/InAs HEMT for high-frequency operation combined with low-noise performances in ultra-low-power regime.…”

Motions of a Powered Top with a Spherical Tip on a Curved Surface by David C. Meeker, Miles A. Townsend

“…The purpose of this article is to model the dynamics of a top with a finite radius tip on a curved basin in a gravitational field without (and with) energy addition and dissipation. This is an extension of a very general and classical problem and requires development of a method for treating the dynamical interactions between the two curved surfaces. …”

La représentation du genre au XIXe siècle. Masculinités dans le couple royal et la biographie de François d’Assise de Bourbon by Félix Colás Loricera

“…The internal dynamics are defined by the "inversion" of roles represented by the fact that Isabel was the monarch and Francis the consort, as well as by the dissident personalities of both. Isabel has been extensively studied in this respect, while Francis is a more obscure but equally relevant case study. …”

Universality and scaling in networks of period-doubling maps with a pacemaker by Anna S. Ivanova, Sergey P. Kuznetsov, Andrew H. Osbaldestin

“…With the help of the renormalization group (RG), we show for a case of two mutually coupled bicritical maps with a pacemaker that there are two types of coupling: dissipative and inertial. We investigate the dynamics of a network with a pacemaker with two types of global coupling and the properties of universality and scaling in this system.…”

A New Buckling-Restrained Brace with a Variable Cross-Section Core by Liang Li, Tianhua Zhou, Junwu Chen, Jianfeng Chen

“…The test results show that (1) none of the specimens buckle under compression, as expected, and their ductilities and energy dissipation capacities are satisfactory; (2) the derived formulas are reliable and can be conveniently used in engineering practice; and (3) the yielding displacement of the BRB-VCC is approximately 70% that of the traditional TJ-1 buckling-restrained brace (BRB-TJ-1), which may yield earlier than the BRB-TJ-1 in concrete structures under the action of an earthquake.…”
