The focus of this paper is on sex and videogames, seeking to provide a counterweight to the sensationalist treatment of the topic within the popular press. The author argues that there is surprisingly little explicit sexual imagery in games and asks what accounts for its disproportionate absence. An account is given of the way that the interactive nature of games which do include sex either in ...

Although the behaviour of fluid-filled vesicles in steady flows has been extensively studied, far less is understood regarding shape dynamics time-dependent oscillatory flows. Here, we investigate nonlinear large amplitude extensional (LAOE) using both experiments and boundary integral (BI) simulations. Our results characterize transient membrane deformations, dynamical regimes stress response ...

A parametric analysis of the thermal performance flat polypropylene pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) is presented. In particular, was characterized for with different number turns serpentine channel, orientations respect to gravity, and containing transfer fluids. The dependence polymeric PHPs on design parameters poorly understood date. development by high mechanical flexibility will have significa...

A self-pulsating laser diode under external drive shows the nonlinear dynamical effects of two competing frequencies. One can establish a route to chaos by increasing the modulation current. However, when the modulation frequency is varied, the chaotic state is suddenly destroyed at the harmonic frequencies of the self-pulsating frequency. This approach therefore offers a simple chaotic light s...
