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 social network paradigm and applications in pharmacy.
TL;DR: The social network paradigm contains conceptual models that rely on relational and structural assumptions to make predictions related to human behavior that can be used as a stand-alone perspective or in conjunction with other theoretical perspectives to explain human health or organizational behavior in health care settings.

Qualitative social network research for relational sociology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that egonet methods remain sensitive to the qualitative dimensions of social actors' involvements with their immediate social context, a sensitivity that is lost in other SNA approaches.

Together Through Time – Social Networks and the Life Course
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the life course and social network perspectives and how the integration of life-course and social-network ideas can further the study of both, and an overarching framework is presented within which the understanding of social networks can improve the understand of life course, and vice versa.
