This paper presents an exercise in the formalization of political principles, by taking as its theme the concept of distributive justice that Karl Marx advanced in his Critique of the Gotha Programme. We first summarize the content of the Critique of the Gotha Programme. Next, we transcribe the core of Marx’s presentation of the concept of distributive justice. Following, we present our formalization of Marx’s conception. Then, we make use of that formal analysis to confront Marx’s principle of distributive justice with John Rawls’ conception of justice as fairness, and the principles of distributive justice that derive from it. Finally, we discuss methodological issues relative to, and implications of, the way of formalizing political principles introduced here. 相似文献
We present the development of an experimentally validated computational fluid dynamics model for liquid micro jets. Such jets are produced by focusing hydrodynamic momentum from a co-flowing sheath of gas on a liquid stream in a nozzle. The numerical model based on laminar two-phase, Newtonian, compressible Navier–Stokes equations is solved with finite volume method, where the phase interface is treated by the volume of fluid approach. A mixture model of the two-phase system is solved in axisymmetry using?~?300,000 finite volumes, while ensuring mesh independence with the finite volumes of the size 0.25 µm in the vicinity of the jet and drops. The numerical model is evaluated by comparing jet diameters and jet lengths obtained experimentally and from scaling analysis. They are not affected by the strong temperature and viscosity changes in the focusing gas while expanding at nozzle outlet. A range of gas and liquid-operating parameters is investigated numerically to understand their influence on the jet performance. The study is performed for gas and liquid Reynolds numbers in the range 17–1222 and 110–215, and Weber numbers in the range 3–320, respectively. A reasonably good agreement between experimental and scaling results is found for the range of operating parameters never tackled before. This study provides a basis for further computational designs as well as adjustments of the operating conditions for specific liquids and gases. 相似文献
The location optimization of sensors is a essential problem in structural health monitoring systems. Taking the cost of sensors into account, it is uneconomical to install sensors on every part of a structure and moreover in aeronautical industry, the weight is a crucial factor. In this paper, a optimal placement optimization of sensor locations for structural health monitoring systems is studied. Several techniques of optimization of sensors are approached and applied in a shell structure. The structure, a laminate of carbon fiber, was modeled by the finite element method (FEM) and then subject to free vibration. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are then employed to locate the best sensor distribution to cover a specific number of low frequency modes. Numerical results have demonstrated the overall efficiency of sensor delivery methods. Specific problems occurred, especially regarding the method of effective independence, being less efficient and discrepant in relation to the other methods employed. In summary, the results obtained in this paper provide an optimal position for sensors in real SHM systems and experiments. 相似文献
Since its first emergence in 2004, the high-entropy alloy (HEA) concept has aimed at stabilizing single- or dual-phase multi-element solid solutions through high mixing entropy. Here, this strategy is changed and renders such massive solid solutions metastable, to trigger spinodal decomposition for improving the alloys’ magnetic properties. The motivation for starting from a HEA for this approach is to provide the chemical degrees of freedom required to tailor spinodal behavior using multiple components. The key idea is to form Fe-Co enriched regions which have an expanded volume (relative to unconstrained Fe-Co), due to coherency constraints imposed by the surrounding HEA matrix. As demonstrated by theory and experiments, this leads to improved magnetic properties of the decomposed alloy relative to the original solid solution matrix. In a prototype magnetic FeCoNiMnCu HEA, it is shown that the modulated structures, achieved by spinodal decomposition, lead to an increase of the Curie temperature by 48% and a simultaneous increase of magnetization by 70% at ambient temperature as compared to the homogenized single-phase reference alloy. The findings thus open a pathway for the development of advanced functional HEAs. 相似文献
3D printing and nanotechnology have been two important tools in the development of therapeutic approaches for personalized medicine. More recently, their alliance has been improved in an effort to build innovative, versatile, multifunctional, and/or smart medical and pharmaceutical products. Therefore, an extensive review about scientific studies that ally 3D printing and nanomaterials in the development of new approaches for pharmaceutical and medical applications for the treatment and prevention of diseases is presented here. The articles are classified into five categories according to their main application: Cell growth and tissue engineering, antimicrobial, drug delivery, stimulus-response, and theranostics. Semisolid extrusion, inorganic nanoparticles, and cell growth and tissue engineering are the most reported 3D printing technique, type of nanomaterial, and application, respectively. The increase in papers dedicated to these areas is also notable, especially in the 2019 and 2020, when semisolid extrusion became the most used technique, overcoming fused deposition modelling. In fact, this review highlights that the possibility of an alliance between 3D printing and nanotechnology for the production of multiscale materials is undoubtedly a great opportunity for knowledge and innovation in the pharmaceutical and medical area. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with the investigation of the shear effect on the dynamic behavior of a thin microcantilever beam with manufacturing process defects. Unlike the Rayleigh beam model (RBM), the Timoshenko beam model (TBM) takes in consideration the shear effect on the resonance frequency. This effect become significant for thin microcantilever beams with larger slenderness ratios that are normally encountered in MEMS devices such as sensors. The TBM model is presented and analyzed by numerical simulation using Finite Element Method (FEM) to determine corrective factors for the correction of the effect of manufacturing process defects like the underetching at the clamped end of the microbeam and the nonrectangular cross section of the area. A semi-analytical approach is proposed for the extraction of the Young’s modulus from 3D FEM simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics software. This model was tested on measurements of a thin chromium microcantilever beam of dimensions (80 × 2 × 0.95 μm3). Final results indicate that the correction of the effect of manufacturing process defects is significant where the corrected value of Young’s modulus is very close to the experimental results and it is about 280.81 GPa.
The objective of this investigation was to study the functional properties of Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp) flour and protein concentrate. The solubility of both samples were superior than 70% at pH above 6.7 and below 3.5. The water and oil absorption were 1.2 and 1.07 ml/g of sample and 0.87 and 1.73 ml/g of flour and protein concentrate samples, respectively. The minimum concentration of flour and protein concentrate needed for gelation was 20% and 12%, respectively. The emulsifying capacity of flour and concentrate was 129.35 g and 191.66 g oil/g of protein and the emulsion stability 87.50 and 97.97%, respectively, after 780 minutes. The foam capacity and stability of flour foam were 36.0% and 18.61, while of the concentrate were 44.70% and 78.97% after 90 minutes. These properties indicate that the flour as well as the concentrate could have application in various food systems. 相似文献
