Abstract

The effect of graphene oxide (GO) on the safety characteristics of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) was studied in this work. Graphene oxide was prepared and was investigated to form a composite based on GO-RDX by solvent-antisolvent slurry technique. For comparison, different polymer bonded explosives (PBXs) based on RDX bonded by viton A, fluorel or polymethyl-methacrylate binders were studied and designed as RDX-Viton, RDX-Fluorel and RDX-PMMA respectively. Sensitivities to impact and friction of the presented samples as well as the pure RDX was measured. The ignition temperatures were determined and the activation energies were calculated by using the ignition delay method. Results of x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope proved that RDX crystals were coated by a thin layer of GO. The impact sensitivity of GO-RDX composite is lower than that of the other studied samples while the friction sensitivity is slightly higher. The ignition temperature of GO-RDX was lower than the other studied samples which indicates that the GO caused accumulation of the decomposition gaseous products and accelerated the decomposition process of RDX. GO is an interesting candidate material to be used for coating the explosive crystals instead of the polymeric matrices.

15. UNCIVIL WARS: Response to Correspondence: Waleed Aly & Scott Stephens.

ROE v. Wade, VOTING Rights Act of 1965 (U.S.)
Abstract

Nyuon rightly observes the importance of Baldwin's witness in our essay, but her contention seems to be that we illegitimately appropriate him, turning him into a shill for our own purposes - our very own Booker T. Washington (or Herschel Walker) in the service of a kind of counter-revolution to the cause of racial justice. However much Martin Luther King is revered now, his message of "interracial civic friendship" and his call for the renunciation of racial contempt proved to be fabulously unpopular, as Nyuon observes. And when the violence which engulfed 110 American cities after King's assassination was taken to demand either total justification or absolute condemnation, Baldwin refused to do either. Nyuon is right that there is nothing "romantic" or sentimental about Baldwin's notion of love, but it is nonetheless passionate, and not simply political. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Clinton replied that her argument was not with Trump's supporters but with Trump himself. At one point, for instance, Paul encourages Camille to ride with Prokosch, despite her hesitation, in a two-seater convertible, while Paul takes a taxi. It is not even Camille's contempt for Paul in Le Mépris, in which both agree that bartering a spouse's sexual favours for one's own career advancement is an immoral thing to do, however much Paul denies the allegation. Recall in Le Mépris that Paul strenuously denies Camille's charge and pledges to resign from Prokosch's film as proof of his sincerity, but this makes no difference to Camille, who has already passed a final judgment on Paul himself, and therefore has no way back to him. Camille later makes this contempt explicit to Paul in a final confrontation, during which Paul denies Camille's charge that he effectively bartered her and offers to cut all ties with Prokosch as proof.

32. Towards a Structuration Theory of Global Terrorism

Author

Aly, Waleed

Uncategorized
Abstract

A vast body of academic literature over half a century has attempted to explain the causes of terrorism. This literature has generally not drawn on the insights of grand social theory, reflecting that terrorism studies is largely a theoretically barren field. It has instead tended to offer explanations that either focus on a singular structural phenomenon (like, say occupation) or the features of the individual terrorist (such as that person’s psychology). This study contributes a new theoretical understanding of the area by using structuration theory to analyse one particular subtype of terrorism: global terrorism. It identifies that this type of terrorism is distinguished by its post-Westphalian characteristics: its ideological content, its conception of its enemies, its sphere of political action, and its diffuse, increasingly leaderless structure all simply bypass the Westphalian frame that captured previous expressions of terrorism. This reveals that globalised (or glocalised) structures of late-modernity, what Bauman calls “liquid modernity”, are importantly implicit in global terrorism. This study develops an account of the causes and nature of global terrorism anchored in a version of structuration theory synthesised from the seminal works of Giddens and Bourdieu. In this, it relies on the more recent literature on the concept of “radicalisation”. That literature is not theoretically embellished, but offers the potential of an account of terrorism incorporating both structure and agency. Here, Moghaddam’s “staircase to terrorism” is most promising, and this study applies structuration theory to the social and psychological processes of radicalisation Moghaddam describes. Global terrorism is anchored in the structural contradiction that exists between the globalisation of identity, and social and political causality on the one hand, and the availability of only Westphalian conventional politics on the other: between the liquid, and the solid. This contradiction brings multitudes to Moghaddam’s ground floor with a shared sense of fraternal relative deprivation. This generates perverse consequences for social agents and precipitates a sense of existential anxiety. Radicalisation only commences, however, when agents seek to restore their ontological security in unconventional ways. One example is via a securitising narrative that explains the nature of this structural contradiction to them, and constructs an abject, enemy other. Because this other is abject, constructing it is also a process of constructing and sacralising the self: out-group hatred becomes symbiotic with in-group solidarity, and becomes an act of identity creation. This facilitates the moral transformations necessary for terrorism to happen, which is also facilitated by the increasingly small isolated social groupings in which agents find themselves as they ascend Moghaddam’s staircase. This progression is the consequence of the decisions and actions of knowledgeable social agents. The process of ascending Moghaddam’s staircase reveals an ever-evolving interaction between each agent’s habitus, the social fields they inhabit and the capital they seek in those fields. An agent ascending Moghaddam’s staircase, increasingly inhabits unconventional social fields in which the capital of conventional fields becomes less sought-after, and a more radical symbolic hegemonic order takes over. This in turn alters the agent’s habitus, making increasingly radical action more imaginable.
