Sommario/riassunto

Microfluidics has seen a remarkable growth over recent decades, with its extensive applications in engineering, medicine, biology, chemistry, etc. Many of these real applications of microfluidics involve the handling of complex fluids, such as whole blood, protein solutions, and polymeric solutions, which exhibit non-Newtonian characteristics—specifically viscoelasticity. The elasticity of the non-Newtonian fluids induces intriguing phenomena, such as elastic instability and turbulence, even at extremely low Reynolds numbers. This is the consequence of the nonlinear nature of the rheological constitutive equations. The nonlinear characteristic of non-Newtonian fluids can dramatically change the flow dynamics, and is useful to enhance mixing at the microscale. Electrokinetics in the context of non-Newtonian fluids are also of significant importance, with their potential applications in micromixing enhancement and bio-particles manipulation and separation. In this Special Issue, we welcomed research papers, and review articles related to the applications, fundamentals, design, and the underlying mechanisms of non-Newtonian microfluidics, including discussions, analytical papers, and numerical and/or experimental analyses.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Studie rekonstruiert die Lebensschicksale zehn deutscher



Altertumswissenschaftler, die nach der Machtübernahme durch die Nationalsozialisten aufgrund ihrer jüdischen Herkunft oder ihrer "politischen Unzuverlässigkeit" nach den Bestimmungen des am 7. April 1933 in Kraft getretenen "Gesetzes zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums" entlassen wurden und sich mit Unterstützung zahlreicher jüdischer und nichtjüdischer Hilfskomitees unter schwierigsten Bedingungen in den USA eine neue berufliche Existenz als Hochschullehrer aufbauen konnten: M. Bieber (Barnard, Columbia), K. Lehmann-Hartleben (NYU), E. Jastrow (Greensboro College), O. Brendel, K. von Fritz, E. Kapp, P. O. Kristeller (alle Columbia), E. Abrahamsohn (Howard Univ., Univ. of Washington St. Louis), E. M. Manasse (North Carolina College for Negroes) und P. Friedländer (UCLA). Hierfür wurden erstmals die Archive der wichtigsten Hilfsorganisationen (v. a. Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars, Oberländer Trust) und der Universitäten sowie die Nachlässe der Emigranten und ihrer Unterstützer akribisch ausgewertet. Dadurch erschließt sich ein neues Kapitel der Wissenschaftsgeschichte, die Geschichte der Altertumswissenschaften in der Emigration.

Nota di contenuto

From Africa to America -- Wheatley as beginning -- African and Christian encounters in early Black women's writings -- Silencing Africa: Christianity's persistent voice in early Black women's novels -- Christianity and a reawakening Africanity: Black spirituality in the post-reconstruction novels of Frances E. W. Harper and Pauline Hopkins -- Rethinking religiosity in the wake of modernity: transformations of Christian idealisms in the novels of Jessie Fauset -- Transformed religiosities: Africanity and Christianity in Nella Larsen's Quicksand and Zora Neale Hurston's Jonah's gourd vine and Their eyes were watching God.

Sommario/riassunto

African Spirituality in Black Women's Fiction traces the beginnings and transformations of African spirituality in African American women's literature, and culminates with an examination of its return to center stage in the fiction of black Renaissance writers, Nella Larsen and Zora Neale Hurston. It is distinct in its employment of a diachronic lens to examine specific African spiritual elements that can be traced from early to modern black women's fiction.
