The emotional compound of information and its volume estimation by M. Yu. Sverdlov

“…The obtained results are the following: a relative share of the pragmatic component promptly decreases at the background of rapid growth of digital information amount; the emotional component of information messages and flows is the most significant while measuring their amount and quality; it is offered to estimate the degree of the information resource emotional efficiency by means of an aggregative dimensionless indicator; saturation of information messages and flows with an emotional component should determine further tendencies of upgrading the information space, including library resources.…”

Numerical Study of the Passive Motion of Airfoils in Porous Media by J. Tang, Z. Zhou, Y. Zhang, B. Moghtaderi, Y. Wang

“…Permeability (α), ranging from 10−12 m2 to 10−8 m2, indicates the ease with which fluid can pass through the porous medium and is a key factor in determining the flow resistance. Both porosity and permeability play crucial roles in the flow field and aerodynamic performance of the airfoil, and their interaction jointly regulates the formation of flow patterns and propulsion efficiency. …”
