Rise of Love and the People: French Matter and Manner in the Early Victorian Drama of Edward Bulwer-Lytton by Ana Fernández-Caparrós Turina

“…In the short period between 1837, when Queen Victoria came to the throne, and 1843, when the Theatre Regulation Act amended the Licensing Act of 1737 and thus reconfigured theatrical freedom and production in the United Kingdom, the fruitful collaboration of renowned novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton and actor and theatrical manager William Charles Macready would prove to be decisive in shaping early Victorian drama and setting high standards in production and artistic integrity, which would be followed by successive managers. …”

Enhancing efficiency of a laboratory-scale hybrid cooling tower using Fe3O4-water nanofluid and spiral coils by Danial Fallah Heravi, Hamid Reza Goshayeshi, Reza Saleh

“…The novelty of this study lies in its unique combination of Fe₃O₄-water nanofluid and the spiral coil geometries, a configuration that has not been explored in prior studies for enhancing heat transfer in hybrid cooling towers.Experimental results indicate a significant 50 % improvement in cooling tower efficiency when Fe₃O₄-water nanofluid is used compared to pure water, largely due to enhanced thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the secondary flow generated by the spiral coils contributed an additional 8 % improvement in heat transfer. …”

Massive MIMO LEO Satellite Communications System by Kexin LI, Li YOU, Xiqi GAO

“…Extending massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique to low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems enables satellites to implement fl exible beamforming, which can make full use of the spatial degrees of freedom of massive MIMO and signifi cantly improve the spectral effi ciency and energy effi ciency of LEO satellite communication systems.Several related issues in massive MIMO-based LEO satellite communication systems were studied.The characteristics of massive MIMO LEO satellite channels were analyzed.The important diff erences between them and terrestrial wireless channels were revealed.With the aim of addressing the problems on channel information acquisition, multi-user transmission and user scheduling in massive MIMO LEO satellite communication, the main difficulties faced by the current work were discussed, and how to use the characteristics of massive MIMO LEO satellite channels to design tailored solutions with low implement complexity was conceived.…”
