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.…”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”
