Thermo-physical data for Co-Cr-W and Co-Cr-W-Si-Mn
No full textThermo-physical data for Co-Cr-W and Co-Cr-W-Si-MnAuthors: J.C.T. Cullen, S. Mehraban, D. Davies, J. Vallery, N.P. Lavery, S.G.R BrownCobalt Chrome Tungsten (Co-Cr-W) ternary and micro-alloyed samples (Co-Cr-W-Si-Mn) were manufactured using a Rapid Alloy Prototyping methodology which combined ball milling, powder compaction and induction melting. Each composition selected was studied in three conditions; as-cast, annealed for 4 hrs at 1100°C and annealed for 14 days at 1100°C. The samples were analysed using XRD, Dilatometry, hardness, SEM/EDS and DSC forming a significant chapter of work from Dr Jonathan Cullen's PhD thesis.CONTENTS OF DATABASEThe database contains all raw data from the measurements and all the microscopy of samples which have not been included in subsequent publications due to space limitation, copyright or data averaging.For example, the Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) obtained for individual compositions covered a temperature range from RT to 1100 Deg C, but typically plotted as average CTE values over temperature intervals of 50 deg C . The data in this database contains the complete raw data set.SAMPLE NUMBERS, COMPOSITION AND PHASESThe sample numbers [1-53] are used throughout this database, for the compositions XX Co – YY Cr – ZZ W (always in weight percentage). Samples for the Co-Cr-W ternary are labelled and saved in folders called CCW, whereas samples microalloyed with Mn or Si are under folders labelled CCWSM. The CCW samples [1] - [53] are labelled as in excel file at top level folder (Co-Cr-W Summary of Chemistry Hardness and DSC data.xlsx).The CCWSM samples [1] - [12] are labelled as in excel file at the top level folder (Co-Cr-W-Si-Mn Chemistry CTE Hardness and Enthalpy.xlsx)

Interview With Knud Hermansen by Keven Lavery
No full textAs the son of Danish immigrants, Hermansen grew up on a dairy farm in New Jersey during the 30's and 40's. He stopped schooling to farm after 9th grade, and at 17 he enlisted in the army. He speaks about how rationing did not affect his family very much in part due to the sustainability of farm, and the rigors of boot camp, and the racial divisions of the Army when he was overseas.Mussolini, Benito; Selassie, Haile; Truman, Harry S.;World War II; Great Depression
Thinking like a ruin
No full textThrough the methodology of conversation, Lavery and Murray explore approaches to ruin and ruination, asking what job of work the ruin might perform in the twenty-first century. Using the provocation of “thinking like a ruin,” the authors propose different perspectives to help understand the materiality and theoretical context(s) of ruin and ruination. Drawing upon four case studies—Andy Goldsworthy’s Stonehouse Bonnington, St. Peter’s Seminary near Glasgow, Kris Verdonck’s Conversations at the End of the World, and the Sicilian town of (New) Gibellina—Lavery and Murray debate the ethical and political potential ruins have for imagining new forms of resistance, thus reconfiguring or re-purposing how decay and dereliction might provide a different lens for approaching issues of environment and ecology
The superescritora Ángeles Mastretta: the strategies of a best-seller writer in projecting and maintaining (literary) superstardom
No full textWith the publication in 1985 of her best-seller Arrancame la vida, Angeles Mastretta was propelled into the literary limelight, and her next best-selling success, Mal de amores (1996), further bolstered her superstardom. While the intellectual conflict between literatura light and literatura difcil, which is at the heart of much of the negative reception of Mastretta's two novels, has been extensively researched, almost no academic studies exist on the strategies which the author has used in projecting and maintaining her superstardom. This article analyses this hitherto unexplored area by examining the role of publishers in the creation of Mastretta as a celebrity, the recent film adaptation of Arrancame la vida, Mastretta's blog site interventions, and her extensive media appearances. The construction of the literary icon/star as a cultural artefact examined here contributes to the budding field of stardom and fandom studies and the growing scholarly interest in the emerging canon of Mexican and Latin American writers in cyberspace
Ana Clavel’s ‘outlaw’ desires in <em>Las ninfas a veces sonríen</em>
No full textAs a writer whose fiction is known for its transgressive themes and forms, it is no surprise that the Mexican author Ana Clavel has continued to revel in such contraventions in her novella Las ninfas a veces sonríen (2012). In this article I seek to examine how these, also new transgressions, materialize in the novella specifically within a queer framework. The queer showcases Las ninfas’ exploration of “outlaw” sexual desires as well as the fantastical and intertextual genre-bending. By defying heteronormative sexual normalcy, Clavel is seen to challenge certain “givens” within (Mexican) society, whether these be religious, moral, sexual, or cultural, and thus creating a fascinating representation of society’s particular fears, anxieties, and disavowed desires. In the context of the female character’s sexual experiences, transgressive queereness can be understood by making reference to various theories including those of Kristeva’s abjection/uncanny and Creed’s/Braidotti’s monstrous feminine, whereby the female is positioned in terms of an ambiguous oscillation between unthreatening object of male desire, monstrosity, and celebratory female sexual agency. Ultimately by thus delving into outlawed “no-deseos”, Las ninfas can be posited as a prime example of a Barthesian text of “jouissance” which disrupts the reader’s pleasurable reading experience
British Business Strategy, EU Social and Employment Policy and the Emerging Politics of Brexit
No full textThis Paper highlights Brexit might change how British businesses engage with EU institutions in order to further their objectives. Through a document analysis of business responses to the Balance of Competences Review on EU Social and Employment Policy and CBI policy documents between 2010-2016, the author Scott Lavery outlines how British business has attempted to ‘defend and extend’ a liberalising agenda in the EU throughout the pre-referendum period. It is argued that Brexit fundamentally undermines this strategic orientation. The Paper concludes with some of the key strategic dilemmas which the ‘leave’ vote generates for British capital within the emerging politics of Brexit
Ana Clavel’s Las Violetas son flores del deseo and Peritextuality
No full textTaking my cue from a number of theories on paratextuality and specifically peritextuality, this essay argues that the hitherto unaddressed peritextual features of Ana Clavel’s Las Violetas son flores del deseo (2007), including illustration, title, jacket copy, and epigraph are central in understanding the strong reactions which the image on the front cover provoked. I argue that the peritextual dimension, which ambiguously anchors but also disrupts meaning(s), works to underpin the novella’s central themes of paedophilia, rape, and questions of reader-viewer collusion. Even as we are forced into the position of accomplice, our awareness of the constructedness of the peritextual devices functions to relinquish us from becoming mixed up directly in the brutality which the image suggests. Nevertheless, the peritextual also alerts us to the view that the implied crime is not merely the product of artfulness but also the result of our own imagination and longing for that violence. It will also be argued that the erotic content of the image, which implies both a knowing and an unknowing, perturbs the viewer-reader’s comfort zone. Indeed, the image ambiguously plays upon a perceptible incongruity between innocent childhood and sexualized child-teenager and thus disturbs any possibility of offering a safe interpretation
