Présentation by Jérôme France, Valérie Fromentin

“…With the prevalence of project-based research, where sponsors expect a return on investment over and above the publication of specialised articles, «societal» promotion, more broadly defined to include HSS and once less visible, has since come of age. …”

More axion stars from strings by Marco Gorghetto, Edward Hardy, Giovanni Villadoro

“…Abstract We show that if dark matter consists of QCD axions in the post-inflationary scenario more than ten percent of it efficiently collapses into Bose stars at matter-radiation equality. …”

Towards More-Than-Human Negotiation by Paula Palanco Lopez, Anna Krzywoszynska, Agnese Bankovska

“…The essays collected in this issue explore this question through different cases of more-than-human relationality. In this introduction, we briefly present these contributions, placing them in dialogue with the concept of the contact zone. …”

Effect of Pore Characteristics on Sound Absorption Ability of Permeable Pavement Materials by Weimin Song, Miaomiao Zhang, Hao Wu, Peng Zhu, Zhuo Liu, Jian Yin

“…At the same porosity, OGFC mixtures presented larger average SAC compared to PCC, which was ascribed to the fact that more pores with larger size and a better pore connectivity existed in OGFC mixtures.…”

Influences of Pore-Water Pressure on Slope Stability considering Strength Nonlinearity by Di Wu, Yuke Wang, Fei Zhang, Yue Qiu

“…The overestimation resulted from the linear criterion will become more distinct for slopes with smaller widths. Besides, the presented results showed that the equivalent internal friction angle tends to have a weaker increasing trend for steeper slopes as pore-water pressure coefficient increases. …”

Characterization of Pore Water Flow in 3‐D Heterogeneous Permeability Fields by Xiaolong Geng, Michel C. Boufadel, Kenneth Lee, Chunjiang An

“…We demonstrate for the first time that the vortex structures characterized by Q criterion are 3‐D distributed and greatly deform surrounding pore‐water flow. The structures exhibit scale‐invariant features in multifractal fields and in stationary fields below the correlation scale, indicating that such vortex flow might be widely present with no characteristic scale. …”
