    Water Contamination in Jet Fuel

    No full text
    This work quantifies water contamination in jet fuel (Jet A-1), using silica-based Bragg gratings. The optical sensor geometry exposes the evanescent optical field of a guided mode to enable refractometery. Quantitative analysis is made in addition to the observation of spectral features consistent with emulsification of water droplets and Stokes&rsquo; settling. Measurements are observed for cooling and heating cycles between ranges of 22oC and -60oC. The maximum spectral sensitivity for water contamination was 2.4 pm/ppm-v with a resolution of &amp;lt; 5 ppm-v.</span

    Problems and opportunities in Polanyian analysis today

    No full text
    There is the beginnings of a shift in the tone of literature on or derived from the work of Karl Polanyi. On one hand, some authors are showing a willingness to admit a variety of problems and weaknesses in his work. But on the other hand, it is precisely this degree of critical introspection that is enabling latter-day Polanyian authors to identify some of the most important and contemporarily relevant aspects of Polanyi’s thought. In the two main sections of this article – on Polanyi’s concepts of ‘embeddedness’ and ‘double movement’ – I define the problems highlighted in previous iterations of Polanyian literature, moving on to examine how the texts under review address those problems, laying particular emphasis on the ideational components of Polanyi’s thought. I conclude by suggesting future directions for Polanyian scholarship, mooting the possibility of a distinctively ‘post-Polanyian’ perspective in which ideas, discourse and framing are placed centre stag

    Ignorance, denial, internalisation and transcendence: A post-structural perspective on Polanyi’s double movement

    No full text
    In this article, I suggest what an engagement between post-structuralism and the work of Karl Polanyi might look like. I do this by presenting a reading of his concept of ‘double movement’ as a form of problematisation through binary opposition. I suggest that the central opposition that the double movement depicts – between economy and society as reflected in processes of marketisation and social protection – presents itself in such a way that the problems emanating from the opposition can only be solved through its transcendence. On one hand, the terms of transcendence are limited by the terms of the opposition. On the other hand, since transcendence is never reached, the double movement problematisation stabilises the existence of a lacuna between the lived experience of market society and the discursive field of that market society. As such, the form of the problematisation places a double-limit upon the way ‘solutions’ can be presented. I present this reading in relation to two instances of double movement discussed by Polanyi in his book, The Great Transformation. I then move to apply the argument to invocations of the economy-society opposition in contemporary political economic discourse, where it remains as ubiquitous as ever
