TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that all the terrestrial planets (Venus, Earth, and Mars) as well as the Moon deviate from hydrostatic equilibrium to some degree.
Abstract: The author puts forward the proposal in this paper that all the terrestrial planets (Venus, the Earth, and Mars) as well as the Moon deviate from hydrostatic equilibrium to some degree. The Earth's level of deviation of these four celestial bodies is minimum, and that of Mars is maximum. Moreover, the author estimates Martian nonhydrostatic components of the principal moments-of-inertia using five models for the interior of Mars. Comparison with other terrestrial planets shows that setting the range of mean moment-of-inertia ratio, I/MR2, in 0.345 ~ 0.355for Mars is reasonable.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-gravitating system composed of massive fermions in spherical symmetry is considered, and the finite mass distribution of such a component is obtained after solving the Einstein equation for a thermal and semi-degenerate fermionic gas, described by a perfect fluid in hydrostatic equilibrium and exposed to cutoff effects (e.g. evaporation).
Abstract: In order to explain Galactic structures, a self-gravitating system composed of massive fermions in spherical symmetry is considered. The finite mass distribution of such a component is obtained after solving the Einstein equation for a thermal and semi-degenerate fermionic gas, described by a perfect fluid in hydrostatic equilibrium and exposed to cutoff effects (e.g. evaporation). Within this more general approach a family of density profiles arises, which explains dark matter halo constraints of the Galaxy and provides at the same time an alternative to the central black hole scenario in Sgr A*. This analysis narrows the allowed particle mass to mc2 = 48−345 keV.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the hydrostatic equations of a porous medium to solve for the ICM density for a given temperature as a function of the filling factor of dilute bubbles.
Abstract: The presence of dilute hot cavities in the intracluster medium (ICM) at the cores of clusters of galaxies changes the relation between gas temperature and its X-ray emission properties. Using the hydrostatic equations of a porous medium we solve for the ICM density for a given temperature as a function of the filling factor of dilute bubbles. We find that at a given temperature, the core X-ray luminosity increases with the filling factor. If the frequency of AGNs in clusters were higher in the past, then the filling factor could correspondingly be significant, with implications for the cluster scaling relations at high redshifts. This is especially important for the core properties, including the temperature-luminosity ($L_X-T$) relation and estimates of the core gas mass. The results imply an epoch-dependent sensitivity of the $L_X-T$ relation in the core to the porosity of the ICM. Detection of such an effect would give new insights into AGN feedback.

TL;DR: In this paper , a Mini-Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus (MHSPA) of spatial size 230×210×210 mm3 was developed for individual or limited number of users to promote Covid-19 social distance protocol.
Abstract: Mini-Hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus (MHSPA), of spatial size 230×210×210 mm3, was developed for individual or limited number of users to promote Covid-19 social distance protocol. A solid hemisphere with an inclined circular segment made from gypsum material (CaSO2.0.5H2 O) and coated with filler putty and oil paint, is used in place of the regular quadrants. With the solid attached to a horizontal beam mounted over a pivot, hydrostatic forces due to liquids were measured at different heights of water. The results showed that the assembly could be used to demonstrate variation of hydrostatic pressure on circular surfaces at different heights of liquid with an average difference of 4.38% against average theoretical values. Compared to other results from the use of conventional quadrants in literature, the associated error is minimal, and indicates the possibility of adopting the apparatus in school laboratories for static pressure demonstration.

TL;DR: In this paper , a 6 DOF numerical model is further improved based on the previous study, where the rolling motion is simulated using a seakeeping model instead of the previous maneuvering mathematical model.
Abstract: The International Maritime Organization (IMO) finalized the second-generation intact stability criteria in 2022. However, an accurate and practical numerical method for stability loss has yet to be established. Therefore, a 6 DOF numerical model is further improved based on the previous study. Firstly, the rolling motion is simulated using a seakeeping model instead of the previous maneuvering mathematical model. Secondly, the roll-restoring variation is calculated directly considering the instantaneous wet hull instead of the previous pre-calculated method. Thirdly, transferring frequency to time is used to obtain heave and pitch motions, further considering yaw angle and sway velocity. Fourthly, the dynamic forces for sway, roll, and yaw motions are calculated, further considering the effect of the speed variation. Fifthly, the 6 DOF motions are used to determine the instantaneous wet hull, and the FK force and the hydrostatic force are calculated by the body’s exact method. Finally, a new conclusion is obtained that the sway and yaw motions’ effect on the ship speed loss, the relative longitudinal wave profile by the speed loss, the rudder angles, and the accompanying rudder forces in the rolling direction are significant, and much more than their centrifugal force or coupled force in the rolling direction.
