Gambit
A gambit is a device, action, or opening remark, typically one entailing a degree of risk, that is calculated to gain an advantage. The opening gesture serves as the origin of all the material in the piece, creating a unified and self-informed system. The goal of this process is that a listener …

A computational study of a lifting wing in close proximity to a moving ground plane
Commercial software packages Fluent® and Gambit® were used to develop a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a DHMTU lifting wing flying in ground effect. In particular, the performance of the wing in the presence of waves was of interest. But …

American Multitudes: Immunity and Contagion at the Turn of the Century
… Whitman, to Steinbeck, and beyond--that takes a gambit on what Badiou calls the "communist hypothesis." Perhaps most importantly, though, the texts of Norris and Anderson demonstrate, either deliberately or otherwise, that such a gambit must preclude any recourse to substantialist notions of …
