“…In this way, corrective action can be taken almost immediately to prevent out-of-speci®cation products from being manufactured. 3 According to researchers in this area, to ®nd a correlation between peel and burst test results, one must equate a force acting on a surface area with a force acting on a seal line. 1,4 The result is that the seal strength obtained from the peel test is equivalent to the product of the burst pressure obtained from the burst test and half of the plate separation: S = PR.…”

Correlation of peel and burst tests for pouches

Theoretical equations based on force diagrams were developed in order to explain pouch behaviour during a restrained burst test. According to the resulting equation, P = 2 S/D, the burst pressure (P) increases directly with seal strength (S) and inversely with the distance between the restraining plates (D). After performing a restrained burst test and a peel test on Tyvek/plastic pouches, it was found that the theoretical development did not exactly explain burst test results in terms of peel test values. The test results demonstrate that even though the peeling times for the peel and burst tests were controlled to be the same, the theoretical formula (P = 2 S/D) tends to overestimate the burst pressure. The overestimation increases at smaller gaps. These results are an indication that the formula is not universal and they suggest that it is an oversimpli®cation. It might work for some materials at a particular set of testing conditions but not for others.

“…The early 1970s saw an expansion of operations of the tertiary sector while in the early 1980s, a reduction (at best a levelling off) in tertiary activity has been seen. Barcan (1978) elaborates on the specific problems by observing that •.. while supply was increasing demand was falling. The hardening economic climate and the growing disenchantment of many adolescents with tertiary education produced a levelling off of enrollments at the beginning of 1977 (p. 39).…”

A Markovian evaluation of a tertiary education faculty

A tertiary education faculty is modelled using an absorbing Markov chain. The model takes account explicitly of full-time and part-time student stocks and flows, and thus facilitates some interesting observations. The evaluation of steady state statistics, gives rise to some worrying results, raising the question as to how efficiently resources are being utilized in tertiary (post secondary) education. The above evaluation is performed for undergraduate sections of the Faculty of Business at the Swinburne Institute of Technology (SIT), Victoria, Australia.

“…Dessa bilder kan precis som nudism medföra "ett nytt sätt att se -på något sätt snarast ett slags icke-seende". 18 När kropparna formar sig till ord är orden identifierbara, men inte de enskilda kropparna. Även om kropparna i några av fotografierna, speciellt de som är tagna i England, ser påtagligt vita ut, och andra kroppar, till exempel de som skriver ordet "PAZ" (fred) i Argentina 19 utstrålar många nyanser av brunt, så är de sexuella och etniska skillnaderna i många av fotografierna knappt märkbara, speciellt eftersom betraktaren av dessa fotografier lockas att fokusera på orden som kropparna skriver snarare än att fingranska kropparnas nyanser eller analysera vilka sociala kategoriseringar de tillhör.…”

Det nakna ordet - Den protesterande kroppens transkorporala etik

This essay brings feminist corporeal theories and material feminisms to bear upon the many naked protests occurring worldwide, asking how the naked body functions within these events. While most feminist corporeal theories remain within the demarcation of the Human, the naked protests considered here extend human corporeality into actual places, enacting nakedness as an ethical performance of vulnerability – the allied, mutual vulnerabilities of human/animal/environment. Taking up the concept of intercorporeality, as defined by Gail Weiss and others, I propose the term ‘‘trans-corporeality,’’ which emphasizes the imbrication of human bodies not only with each other, but with non-human creatures and physical landscapes. Feminist theories of performance, particularly those of Peggy Phelan (1993) and Rebecca Schneider (1997), are crucial for understanding the possibilities for expressing this sense of trans-corporeality, which redefines the human as material, and thus requires a critique, subversion, or evasion of the dominant modes of representation and the gendered scenarios of visibility. The performance artist/activist La Tigresa, who strips for loggers to save old-growth forests, and the many Bare Witness activists who spell out words with their naked bodies perform vulnerability as a trans-corporeal condition in which the material interchanges between human corporeality, geographical places, and vast networks of power, provoke ethical and political actions. Paying attention to particular corporeal actions, activities, practices, and events can help feminist theory reconsider ‘‘the body’’ as more than a site of cultural inscription. Moreover, the naked protests considered here extend the parameters of the political domain by seeking an ethical recognition of vulnerable, interdependent, interwoven, human and non-human flesh.
