Let $P_1, \ldots , P_m \in \mathbb {K}[\mathrm {y}]$ be polynomials with distinct degrees, no constant terms and coefficients in a general local field $\mathbb {K}$. We give a quantitative count of the number of polynomial progressions $x, x+P_1(y), \ldots , x + P_m(y)$ lying in a set $S\subseteq \mathbb {K}$ of positive density. The proof relies on a general $L^{\infty }$ inverse theorem which is of independent interest. This inverse theorem implies a Sobolev improving estimate for multilinear polynomial averaging operators which in turn implies our quantitative estimate for polynomial progressions. This general Sobolev inequality has the potential to be applied in a number of problems in real, complex and p-adic analysis.

Heavy particles suspended in turbulent flow possess inertia and are ejected from violent vortical structures by centrifugal forces. Once piled up along particle paths, this small-scale mechanism leads to an effective large-scale drift. This phenomenon, known as ‘turbophoresis’, causes particles to leave highly turbulent regions and migrate towards calmer regions, explaining why particles transported by non-homogeneous flows tend to concentrate near the minima of turbulent kinetic energy. It is demonstrated here that turbophoretic effects are just as crucial in statistically homogeneous flows. Although the average turbulent activity is uniform, instantaneous spatial fluctuations are responsible for inertial-range inhomogeneities in the particle distribution. Direct numerical simulations are used to probe particle accelerations, specifically how they correlate to local turbulent activity, yielding an effective coarse-grained dynamics that accounts for particle detachment from the fluid and ejection from excited regions through a space- and time-dependent non-Fickian diffusion. This leads to cast fluctuations in particle distributions in terms of a scale-dependent Péclet number ${\textit {Pe}}_\ell$, which measures the importance of turbulent advection compared with inertial turbophoresis at a given scale $\ell$. Multifractal statistics of energy dissipation indicate that $ {\textit {Pe}}_\ell \sim \ell ^\delta /\tau _{p}$ with $\delta \approx 0.84$. Numerical simulations support this behaviour and emphasise the relevance of the turbophoretic Péclet number in characterising how particle distributions, including their radial distribution function, depends on $\ell$. This approach also explains the presence of voids with inertial-range sizes, and the fact that their volumes have a non-trivial distribution with a power-law tail $p(\mathcal {V}) \propto \mathcal {V}^{-\alpha }$, with an exponent $\alpha$ that tends to 2 as ${\textit {Pe}}_\ell \to 0$.

In this article, I identify a conceptually distinct form of epistemic appropriation: the creation and proliferation of the epistemic fata morgana. An epistemic fata morgana is a hermeneutical resource that is hollowed out, stripped of its meaning and political power, and yet, posited as if it were still accessible. This resource is taken up by dominant knowers in a way that preserves only its perception, but not access to it. This process is illustrated by an examination of the resource “sexual harassment” within the university context. The epistemic fata morgana is an important addition to the field of epistemic injustice for it lends itself to highlighting the frustration that is felt by marginalized people, especially within institutional contexts.

We present herein the derivation of a lubrication-mediated (LM) quasi-potential model for droplet rebounds off deep liquid baths, assuming the presence of a persistent dynamic air layer which acts as a lubricating pressure transfer. We then present numerical simulations of the LM model for axisymmetric rebounds of solid spheres and compare quantitatively to current results in the literature, including experimental data in the low-speed impact regime. In this regime the LM model has the advantage of being far more computationally tractable than direct numerical simulation (DNS) and is also able to provide detailed behaviour within the micro-metric thin lubrication region. The LM system has an interesting mathematical structure, with the lubrication layer providing a free-boundary elliptic problem mediating the drop and bath free-boundary evolutionary equations.

The purpose of this review is to examine the effects of hesperidin and hesperetin on liver disorders. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is a complicated disorder influenced by many factors such as inflammation, diabetes, and obesity. Currently, the most prominent treatment method is lifestyle changes. If left untreated, it can progress to cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer. Hesperidin, which is a flavanone glycoside polyphenolic plant compound, belongs to the flavanone class and was first isolated from citrus peel. Hesperidin includes aglycone hesperetin and rutinoside sugar. It is the most dominant form of flavonoid in citrus fruits. In our review, we discussed the effects of these phytochemicals on liver diseases, focusing on their relationship with inflammation, blood sugar regulation, and blood lipids. Hesperidin and hesperetin are seen as promising agents for many diseases. Their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties support this view. Although their low water solubility limits their potential effects, many studies have demonstrated their benefits. They are thought to play an effective role in inflammatory processes, particularly in liver diseases ore studies are required to find the optimum dosage and to use them as a therapeutic agent for the liver.

In this paper, we define and study an equivariant analogue of Cohen, Farber and Weinberger’s parametrized topological complexity. We show that several results in the non-equivariant case can be extended to the equivariant case. For example, we establish the fibrewise equivariant homotopy invariance of the sequential equivariant parametrized topological complexity. We obtain several bounds on sequential equivariant topological complexity involving the equivariant category. We also obtain the cohomological lower bound and the dimension-connectivity upper bound on the sequential equivariant parametrized topological complexity. In the end, we use these results to compute the sequential equivariant parametrized topological complexity of equivariant Fadell–Neuwirth fibrations and some equivariant fibrations involving generalized projective product spaces.
