The Mechanics of Fear: Organic Haunted Houses in American Cinema by Anne-Marie Paquet-Deyris

“…In his 1981 film The Entity, Sidney Furie stages Barbara Hershey’s body (Carla Moran) as a vehicle for the revelation process and in their 1982 Poltergeist, Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg also use young Heather O’Rourke (Carol Anne Freeling) as a medium in very different kinds of houses, no longer darkened and isolated in some desolate part of the American East Coast but now part of the West Coast urban sprawl. …”

A two or three compartments hyperbolic reaction-diffusion model for the aquatic food chain by Elvira Barbera, Giancarlo Consolo, Giovanna Valenti

“…It is assumed that the zooplankton predation follows a Holling type-III functional response, while the zooplankton mortality is linear.Owing to the hyperbolic structure of our equations, the wave processes occur at finite velocity, so that the paradox of instantaneous diffusion of biological quantities, typical of parabolic systems, is consequently removed.The character of steady states and travelling waves, together with the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations, is then discussed through linear stability analysis. …”

Analysis of Hydrodynamics of Fluid Flow on Corrugated Sheets of Packing by Kumar Subramanian, Günter Wozny

“…The contours from the simulations indicate the liquid hold-up in the crimp of two corrugated sheets, and these results are in good agreement with the earlier experimental studies performed using X-ray tomography in the literature. The result from the simulation shows that even for the high flow rate of around 811 mL/min for silicon-oil (DC5), only 60% of the corrugated sheet has been wetted. …”

Comparison of enrichment methods for efficient nitrogen fixation on a biocathode by Rous, Axel, Santa-Catalina, Gaëlle, Desmond-Le Quémener, Elie, Trably, Eric, Bernet, Nicolas

“…The production of nitrogen fertilizers in modern agriculture is mostly based on the Haber-Bosch process, representing nearly 2% of the total energy consumed in the world. Low-energy bioelectrochemical fixation of N2 to microbial biomass was previously observed but the mechanisms of microbial interactions in N2-fixing electroactive biofilms are still poorly understood. …”
