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. …”

Performance of toughened acrylic thermoplastic composites under mode I loading by Ng, Ronald Zi Foong

“…The rise in fracture toughness is contributed by the rougher de-bonding surface due to the integration of Clearstrength® powder into the Elium® matrix, thereby signifying a toughened Elium® matrix, while the drop could be attributed to manufacturing challenges faced, resulting in the fabrication of a poorer composite. …”
