Technological transmission of knowledge in Neolithic northwestern China: mineralogical and chemical analyses of Yangshao and Majiayao painted ware by Spataro, M, Hein, A

“…The analyses were carried out to detect differences or similarities in the chaînes opératoires of ceramic production at the three sites, in particular, to examine the clay types selected to make the three main categories of wares for which Yangshao and Majiayao are known, namely painted fine wares, burnished fine wares, and unpainted coarse wares. …”

A facile formulation based on polyacrylate resin for SLA 3D printing by Lie, Anthony

“…Furthermore, we also tried to find a way to improve toughness for acrylate-based polymer material by the addition of plastic additives so as to improve their chances of being utilised for real-life applications. We were able to increase the toughness by a certain amount, but different situations may arise which may change the possibility of this increment being crucial into allowing the acylate-based polymer to be useful for real-life applications. …”

Introduction — a roundtable on The Woman of Colour (1808) : pedagogic and critical approaches (Roundtable) by Sinanan, Kerry

“…Instead we have a concluding dialogue in which the fictional editor tells “a friend” that the purpose of the novel is to show how “virtue, like Olivia Fairfield’s, may truly be said to be its own reward.”1 And so The Woman of Col-our explicitly resituates eighteenth-century female virtue in an independent, legally unmar-ried woman—a woman of color, who leaves England for her home in Jamaica to pursue a better life. …”
