Freedom of Expression in Distributed Networks by Ejvind Hansen

“…The question arises as an urgent matter in the context of our global system of connected markets and distributed telecommunications networks – the Internet – since, as many academics and policy makers have noted, the two tend to undermine nationals boundaries, putting into question the power of individual states to continue function as the traditional legal and identity-generating entities of last resort.   …”

Mixed Convection and Thermally Radiative Flow of MHD Williamson Nanofluid with Arrhenius Activation Energy and Cattaneo–Christov Heat-Mass Flux by S. Eswaramoorthi, Nazek Alessa, M. Sangeethavaanee, Safak Kayikci, Ngawang Namgyel

“…The activation energy enriches the heat transfer gradient and suppresses the local Sherwood number. Additionally, the more significant heat transfer gradient occurs in heat-absorbing nonradiative viscous nanofluid and a smaller heat transfer gradient occurs in heat-generating radiative Williamson nanofluid. …”

Encapsulated OSB Energy Absorption Potential: A Preliminary Analysis by Daniel Silva de Mello Carvalho, Miguel Mattar Neto

“…This study demonstrates the application of material models where energy absorption is the main structural function. In this case, the orientation of the wood fibers became sensitive with an approximate difference of 10% more in the impact absorption potential, without considerable variation in the duration interval of the maximum deceleration.…”

Is the Hip Keeping the Ankle Out of Work after Total Ankle Arthroplasty? by Frank DiLiberto PT, PhD, Maxine Olson MS, Finola Summerville, Stacey Meardon PhD, PT, Anand Vora MD

“…Of note, postoperative ankle energy production (i.e. power, work) during gait is also deficient and related to lower gait speed and physical function scores. These findings raise questions regarding if people after TAA have the capacity to generate greater ankle energy or rely on proximal joint (e.g. hip) energy during walking and more challenging daily functional tasks. …”
