Elasto-capillarity in insect fibrillar adhesion.
The manipulation of microscopic objects is challenging because of high adhesion forces, which render macroscopic gripping strategies unsuitable. Adhesive footpads of climbing insects could reveal principles relevant for...
Introduction to focus issue on hydrodynamic quantum analogs
Hydrodynamic quantum analogs is a nascent field initiated in 2005 by the discovery of a hydrodynamic pilot-wave system [Y. Couder, S. Protière, E. Fort, and A. Boudaoud, Nature 437, 208 (2005)]. The system consists of a...

Second-Order <i>L</i> ∞ Variational Problems and the ∞-Polylaplacian
In this paper we initiate the study of second-order variational problems in L ∞, seeking to minimise the L ∞ norm of a function of the hessian.We also derive and study the respective PDE arising as the...
A Lie symmetry analysis and explicit solutions of the two‐dimensional∞‐Polylaplacian
In this work we use Lie group theoretic methods and the theory of prolonged group actions to study two fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). First we consider a third order PDE in two spatial dimensions that...
Escaping the fire for the frying-pan?
The arena of ‘English-Speaking International Schooling’ continues to grow, reaching almost 12,000 schools in 2020. The growing teaching arena attracts 30,000 new entrants each year and continues to be dominated by...
Reduced relative entropy techniques for a priori analysis of multiphase problems in elastodynamics
We give an a priori analysis of a semi-discrete discontinuous Galerkin scheme approximating solutions to a model of multiphase elastodynamics which involves an energy density depending not only on the strain but also the strain...

Simulation pathway for estimating heat island influence on urban/suburban building space-conditioning loads and response to facade material changes
Environmental thermal loading on urban buildings is expected to increase owing to the combined influence of a warming climate, increasing frequency and severity of extreme heat events, and the urban heat island (UHI) effect....

A review of the impact of shelter design on the health of displaced populations
There are currently millions of displaced people encamped in low-quality shelters that jeopardise the health of these displaced populations. These shelters, which exhibit poor thermal regulation and air quality, are often...

The elite nature of International Schooling
Tristan Bunnell
Dec 31, 2021
