Reinterpreting politics in thirteenth-century south-west Wales by Brodie, HD

“…Part 3 offers new perspectives on the region’s political narrative, drawing on the preceding thematic analysis. It demonstrates that until the mid-thirteenth century there was much more political cooperation between Welsh and Marcher lords than hitherto understood and considers why the pattern of politics changed, drawing comparison with medieval Ireland.…”

Notes on Thermodynamics : Hot Oolong Cools / by Kang, Hway Chuan, author 655469, World Scientific (Online service) 655444

“…The book draws upon the idea of microstates where that clarifies the macroscopic ideas: entropy of mixing of gases is linked to Boltzmann and Gibbs' entropy formulations, thus motivating the formulation of the chemical potential of non-ideal systems in terms of their activities. …”

“…The first is why the hegemon maintained its burden shares regardless of rise or fall in economic status; I call this <em>‘Hegemonic Lag’</em>. …”

Novel material composites for dielectric elastomer actuators by Ankit

“…Generally, researchers have tried to modify either of these properties with addition of solid conductive or ceramic fillers, or chemical modification of the elastomer, and this has led to undesirable changes on the other material properties. Drawing inspiration from biological materials like skin, which is a soft material system filled with fluids, a novel composite is synthesized utilizing a solid polymer matrix and a high dielectric constant liquid filler, an ionic liquid. …”
