The Development of Social Network Analysis: A Study in the Sociology of Science
TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe the process of centrifugally casting an article such as a tire or the like from a curable or hardenable liquid polymeric material, which process includes the steps of selecting a mold and placing a core within the mold which core is hollow and/or is readily deformable under pressure but which has sufficient memory to resume its original position when the pressure is removed.Abstract:
The process of centrifugally casting an article such as a tire or the like from a curable or hardenable liquid polymeric material, which process includes the steps of selecting a mold and placing a core within the mold which core is hollow and/or is readily deformable under pressure but which has sufficient memory to resume its original position when the pressure is removed. The article being formed is formed between the core and the mold. The space between the core and the mold is filled with the curable liquid material of which the article is to be formed and the hollow core is also filled with a liquid material. The liquid material in the hollow core, the material from which the core is constructed and the curable liquid material all have about the same specific gravity. The mold and core are rotated to centrifugally cast the article which is formed of the curable liquid material. The deformable core permits easy removal from the completed article and the matching of the specific gravities as aforementioned keeps the deformable core from distorting during the centrifugal casting operation. The order of introducing the liquid material into the core, introducing the curable liquid into the space between the mold and core and rotation of the mold and core can be varied within the limits as set forth in the following description. Variations in the structure for accomplishing the principle of matching specific gravities are illustrated and described.read more

The ethical work that regulations will not do
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the sources of value in terms of which benefits or harms are understood in real social situations, and argue that the technologies that are used for research are not value neutral, but serve to reinforce some values at the expense of others.

In the loop : a social network approach to the willingness to communicate in the L2 (L2 WTC)
TL;DR: This paper applied social network analysis to second-language acquisition (SLA) and found a significant relationship between various notions of structural position among a network of international English-for-Academic-Purposes students and the willingness to communicate in the L2 (L2 WTC).

Balance seeking opinion dynamics model based on social judgment theory
TL;DR: The proposed model of opinion dynamics which takes into account the notions of latitude of acceptance, latitude of noncommitment, and latitude of rejection from social judgment theory provides a mathematical framework for balance theory introduced by Harary.

Just plain peers across social networks: Peer-feedback networks nested in personal and academic networks in higher education
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined PF, personal, and academic networks in higher education to identify any peer centrality pattern, and examined the content-related pattern across PF networks.
