On the manipulator-focused response to manipulation cases by De Marco, G, Cyr, TW

“…The key insight of such views is that being subject to the will of another agent significantly affects our freedom and moral responsibility. Though different authors take this key insight in different directions, and the mechanics of their views are quite different, these views turn out to share many key components, and this allows us to discuss several authors’ views at the same time, highlighting a variety of challenges for such views and helping to identify pitfalls to avoid in further developments of views of this type. …”

Non-destructive Testing and Repair of Pipelines / by Barkanov, Evgeny N., editor 655999, Dumitrescu, Andrei, editor 656000, Parinov, Ivan A., 1956-, editor 656002

“…The book subsequently shares the results of non-destructive testing for different types of materials applications and advanced composite repair systems, and characterizes the mechanical properties by means of fracture methods and non-destructive techniques. In turn, the book assesses the currently available technologies for reinforcement of pipelines, drawing on the experience gained by project partners, and evaluates the recovery of the carrying capacity of pipeline sections with local corrosion damage by means of analytical and numerical procedures. …”

Discovering non-equilibrium mechanisms that regulatestructure and function of biomolecular condensates usingphase-field modeling by Natarajan, Pradeep

“…However, the living cell is inherently out of equilibrium with non-equilibrium reactions that constantly burn ATP and turn over biomolecules. My thesis investigates how the interplay between biomolecular interactions and non-equilibrium reactions that turn over biomolecules affect the structure and function of biomolecular condensates. …”

Understanding rising singlehood through the changing realities of young singles in Singapore – the confounding challenges to courtship and marriage. by Lee, Si Ting.

“…Using Giddens‟ structuration theory, this paper seeks to illustrate the intricate relationship between structure and agency; specifically how structure enables and constrains the resources that individuals draw upon which in turn shape their realities and experiences. Through interviews conducted with these singles, I conclude that the roots of singlehood are structurally rooted in the social system and being single is not necessarily a choice. …”
