Cosmic jurisdictions: quod lege naturae, moribus et consuetudine inductum est by M. I. Myklush, V. K. Marinich

“…Based on these factors, the NMC Concept “natura, moribus et consuetudines” is proposed, according to which, due to natural and other factors, all outer space above the Earth`s surface is divided into a “domestic room” (our Solar System) and an “alien room” (outside the Solar System), the boundary between which are the Kuiper Belt and the center of the Sun. …”

Experimental investigation of the effect of the offset ratio on the flow characteristics and heat transfer behaviour of a wall-bounded dual jet flow by P.J. Murphy, S. Alimohammadi, S.M. O'Shaughnessy

“…This consequentially moves the respective locations of the local minimum and maximum values in the characteristic local Nusselt number (Nux) profiles further downstream, while also inducing a general decline in the surface-averaged Nusselt number. Distinct differences in the observed flow and heat transfer behaviour are noted for OR ≤ 2 and OR ≥ 3, where lower OR values produce a unique ‘peaking’ phenomenon in the Nux profile that becomes more exaggerated for higher Re values.…”
