Glorious autarky? Foreign resources and the British fiscal-military state, 1688-1815 by Graham, A

“…Easy access to these resources enabled ministers to retain a bare-bones military and naval establishments in peacetime and then, in wartime, to ‘surge’ the state by using off- the-shelf foreign military labour to hold the line while British forces were recruited. Relying upon cheap foreign money enabled the British state to hold down taxation and expensive borrowing. …”

Research on basic mechanical properties of different modulus alkaline excited ECC by Che, Jialing, Yang, Renze, Wang, Jun, Liu, Haifeng, Hu, Yun xiang, Doh, Shu Ing

“…The effect of the alkali activator modulus on the mechanical properties and microstructure of two types of fiber-reinforced engineering cementitious composites (alkali-excited ECC) with desert sand as fine aggregate was studied. The alkali activator was prepared by a certain proportion of NaOH and sodium silicate mixture, and the mechanical performance indexes were used for analysis, including compressive/tensile/flexural strength, Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus, flexural toughness ratio and energy performance index (PSH). …”

Towards Spatially Varying Gloss Reproduction for 3D Printing by Piovarci, Michal, Foshey, Michael, Babaei, Vahid, Rusinkiewicz, Szymon, Matusik, Wojciech, Didyk, Piotr

“…The main difficulty in automating this process lies in the physical properties of the varnishes which owe their appearance to a high concentration of large particles and as such, they cannot be easily deposited with current 3D color printers. As a result, fine-grained control of gloss properties using today's 3D printing technologies is limited in terms of both spatial resolution and the range of achievable gloss. …”
