After the "Speculative Turn": Realism, Philosophy, and Feminism
Recent forms of realism in continental philosophy that are habitually subsumed under the category of “speculative realism,” a denomination referring to rather heterogeneous strands of philosophy, bringing together object-oriented ontology (OOO), non-standard philosophy (or non-philosophy), the speculative realist ideas of Quentin Meillassoux and Marxism, have provided grounds for the much n…

Advances in NMR and MRI of Materials
In the past decades, nanosized drug delivery systems (DDS) have been extensively developed and studied as a promising way to improve the performance of a drug and reduce its undesirable side effects. DDSs are usually very complex supramolecular assemblies made of a core that contains the active substance(s) and ensures a controlled release, which is surrounded by a corona that stabilizes the…

Advances in Multiscale and Multifield Solid Material Interfaces
A mathematical model employing the concept of energy-equivalent inhomogeneity is applied to analyze short cylindrical fiber composites with interfaces described by the Steigmann–Ogden material surface model. Real inhomogeneity consists of a cylindrical fiber of finite length, and its surface possessing different properties is replaced by a homogeneous, energy-equivalent cylinder. The prop…

Advances in Induction and Microwave Heating of Mineral and Organic Materials
Microwave (MW) application for heating was discovered in 1946 and has been applied in various fields. The detailed historical tracing is presented in the next section. Among the various aplications, it is possible to classify them into two major classes (Agrawal, 2005). In the first class, MW heating applied to drying, cooking foods and to excitation of chemical reactions such as inorganic/…

Advances in High-Performance Non-ferrous Materials
LT21 a type of aluminum alloy used for the irradiation channel of the first heavy water research reactor (HWRR) in China. Studying the mechanical property of irradiated LT21 aluminum under actual service conditions is essential for evaluating its application property. In this paper, tensile specimens of irradiated LT21 were manufactured from the decommissioned irradiation channel of an HWRR…
