    • Dynamic evolutions of Bohm sheaths and pre-sheaths 

      Kono, Mitsuo; Pecseli, Hans Laszlo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-16)
      The time evolutions of the Bohm sheath and the related pre-sheath are analyzed as an initial value problem. The standard classical fluid model of a collisionless plasma is used with cold ions and Boltzmann distributed electrons. Numerical solutions of the basic equations show that a stationary plasma sheath itself is established within a few ion plasma periods. It is demonstrated analytically that ...

      Laber, Christien Philip; Alegria Zufia, Javier; Legrand, Catherine; Lindehoff, Elin; Farnelid, Hanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-22)
      Picocyanobacteria are widespread and globally significant primary producers. In brackish waters, picocyanobacterial populations are composed of diverse species with both single-cell and colony-forming lifestyles. Compared to their marine counterparts, brackish picocyanobacteria are less well characterized and the focus of research has been weighted toward single-cell picocyanobacteria. Here, we ...
    • ‘The many faces of laziness’ 

      Lippert-Rasmussen, Kasper (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-26)
      What do we owe to the lazy? On the assumption that the lazy are a paradigmatic case of people who are worse off, when they are through a fault, or choice, of their own, one might suspect that the answer is: not very much. This article shows that this suspicion is simple-minded. Four notions of laziness are distinguished. It is then shown that these notions differ – even from a luck egalitarian ...
