El Centenario de la Batalla de Boyacá en Bogotá. Mujeres, ritos y espacio urbano by Leopoldo Prieto-Páez

“…Algunos estudios recientes de historia urbana se han concentrado en la transformación del espacio físico como variable determinante, descuidando enfoques relevantes que ofrecerían visiones más complejas del acontecimiento. Se propone estudiar esta celebración desde una perspectiva diferente, a partir del análisis sobre cómo el papel desempeñado por un grupo de mujeres determinó el tipo de celebración llevada a cabo y la producción de un modelo específico de ciudad a través de la experiencia de un grupo específico. …”

Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Model for Hydrodynamic Behaviour of Magnetorheological Fluid in Valve and Shear Modes for a Damper System by Adelani Ismail Adeleke, Mufutau Adekojo Waheed, Gbeminiyi Musibau Sobamowo, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira Siqueira

“…The fluid flow velocity, velocity gradient, and shear stresses have all been shown to be enhanced by an increase in the pressure drop. The viscosity of the fluid increases with an increase in the volume fraction of particles in the fluid, which causes the resistance of the fluid to flow to increase and thereby, reduces the fluid flow velocity. …”
