We investigate axisymmetric spin coating of power law and Ellis fluids. The flow is driven by centrifugal force, gravity and surface tension. For power law and Ellis models a single equation for the fluid film height is obtained. For a Newtonian fluid the flux only involves linear derivative terms which allows the flux to be easily split for a numerical scheme. For power law and Ellis models the derivatives appear as nonlinear terms. To overcome this we develop an alternative numerical scheme to solve for the film height. Neglecting surface tension and gravity the power law model shows a central spike which is reduced by the introduction of surface tension and gravity. In certain cases the shear thinning power law model predicts slower spreading than the Newtonian model. The Ellis fluid shows no central spike, even for zero surface tension and the film always spreads further than the Newtonian fluid.

Across a series of eight high-powered studies ( = 6,866), we develop a method for assessing impartial intergenerational beneficence, defined as intergenerational concern for all possible future generations. Across our studies, roughly 20% of participants displayed impartial intergenerational beneficence. Participants with impartial intergenerational beneficence expressed greater perceptions that future threats can be resolved, support for policies seeking to protect future generations of people, and a profound sense of responsibility for the long-term survival and prosperity of humanity.

Background: Predicting hemolysis numerically based on the power-law model using idealized coefficients obtained from simplified devices yields a large variability in hemolysis index predictions. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based Kriging surrogate modeling approach, developed by Craven et al. at the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), was applied to a Fontan cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD) to generate device-specific hemolysis power-law coefficients.

Orthodox Jewish patients with terminal illnesses have unique goals and desires, often driven by (Jewish law and ethics) and cultural norms. We conducted a quality improvement project investigating the baseline perceptions and experiences of medical professionals who care for Orthodox Jewish patients with terminal illnesses. The survey included health care professionals who cared for Orthodox Jewish patients as part of Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Oncology, or Palliative Care and Hospice teams.

We show that the Veneziano amplitude of string theory is the unique solution to an analytically solvable bootstrap problem. Uniqueness follows from two assumptions: faster than power-law falloff in high-energy scattering and the existence of some infinite sequence in momentum transfer at which higher-spin exchanges cancel. The string amplitude-including the mass spectrum-is an output of this bootstrap.

In many western countries informal care is conceived as the answer to the increasing care demand. Little is known how formal and informal caregivers collaborate in the context of an diverse ageing population. The aim of this study was to gain insight in how professionals' perspectives regarding the collaboration with informal carers with a migration background are framed and shaped by intersecting aspects of diversity.
