Solidarity as a transformative practice by Cipollitti, PE

“…By studying existing theories and reflecting on real-world cases, I present a normative account of solidarity suited to confront the globalized, overlapping injustices we face in our world today. I argue in Chapter 1 that we should conceptualize solidarity as a political bond, realized through action, that unites members of social groups on the basis of a shared understanding of reality and a shared commitment to justice; and as a socially, interpersonally, and personally transformative practice. …”

Study of a dry fixed-vane revolving compressor by Toh, Shaun Jia Hui

“…The changes are made in areas where there is high metal-to-metal contact such as the vane-side, rotor end faces and journal bearings. Major changes to equations were made in the rotor end-face expressions, where the rubbing at the upper end-face is not considered as non-contact occurs as a result of gravity. …”

Dissonances in care: childhood, well-being, and the politics of welfare in Japan by Chapman, CR

“…Japanese child welfare is a disaggregated system; I emphasize polyvocality to illuminate the nuances between varied spaces of care practice, ranging from casework agencies to the side streets of group homes. …”

Modifying the Molecular Structure of Carbon Nanotubes through Gas-Phase Reactants by Giannetto, Michael J., Johnson, Eric P., Watson, Adam, Dimitrov, Edgar, Kurth, Andrew, Shi, Wenbo, Fornasiero, Francesco, Meshot, Eric R., Plata, Desiree L.

“…Using acetylene, methyl acetylene, and vinyl acetylene as feedstock gases, unique morphological differences were observed. Interwall spacing, a highly conserved value in natural graphitic materials, varied to accommodate side groups, increasing systematically from acetylene to methyl acetylene to vinyl acetylene. …”
