Disassembling actor-network theory by Dave Elder-Vass

“…By combining referent and reference in the concept of assemblages, Latour provides a superficially viable way to reconcile these apparently incompatible claims. This paper will argue, however, that this conflation of referent and reference leads Latour’s ontology into difficulties that can only be resolved by abandoning it in favour of a more conventional – critical – realism.…”

Recent advances in the production of controllable multiple emulsions using microfabricated devices by Goran Vladisavljevic

Membrane emulsification: Formation of water in oil emulsions using a hydrophilic membrane by Pedro T. Santos Silva, Victor Starov, Richard Holdich

“…This avoids the need for "health and safety approval" of typical hydrophobic treatments for the membrane, which often use chemicals incompatible with pharma or food applications. To investigate this, wetting experiments were carried out: sessile droplets were used to determine static contact angles and a rotating drum system was used to determine contact angles under dynamic conditions. …”

Inter-poly-creation (IPC): Unifying mass customisation and co-creation by Bonnie Chan, Christopher J. Parker, Darren J. Southee

On the correspondence principle : implications from a study of the nonlinear dynamics of a macroscopic quantum device by Mark Everitt

“…Here we show (i) that the standard expression of the correspondence principle is incompatible with the ring Hamiltonian and we present a more pragmatic and general expression which finds application here and (ii) that practical limitations to circuit parameters of the SQUID ring prevent arbitrarily accurate recovery of classical nonlinear dynamics.…”

Dynamics of control in construction project teams by Martin Tuuli, Steve Rowlinson, Tas Yong Koh

“…The findings indicate that a portfolio of control modes is implemented in project teams comprising both formal (i.e. behaviour- and outcome-based) and informal (i.e. clan- and self-based) control mechanisms which are not necessarily incompatible. While formal control remains the primary control mode, a portfolio of control appears necessary to augment the inadequacies of formal control due to the evolving nature of the project environment.…”

Subsidence of "normal" seafloor: Observations do indicate "flattening" by John Hillier

“…So, if any statistically significant conclusion can be drawn from the observed depths of rare old normal seafloor, it is that old seafloor flattens, which is incompatible with the cooling half-space model applying to all ages of seafloor but does not preclude a cooling-plate style approximation to lithospheric evolution.…”
