Cultures of Display: The Mirror of Imperialism by John M. MacKenzie

“…Bernard Porter famously argued that the British were indeed ‘absent-minded imperialists’ because they took very little interest in empire, with the imperial influence on British culture being essentially minimal. Andrew Porter similarly argued that missionaries were essentially anti-imperial and should be absolved from any guilt surrounding the processes of empire. …”

The molecular dynamics study of the thermal behavior of argon flow in a nanochannel with changes in nanochannel cross-section by Reza Karimi, Ali Marzban, Davood Toghraie

“…For square and rectangle nanochannels in the two-dimensional mode, widening the flow causes reduced density variations and minimal impact on density oscillations. In the square nanochannel, due to the small section, argon-argon and argon-copper interatomic contrasts will make the velocity of fluid atoms dominate and will make the axial velocity component more significant in the rectangle section. …”

Performance Evaluation and Site Application of a Hydrophobic Long-Chain Ester-Based CO2 Fracturing Fluid Thickener by Jianqiang Lu, Meilong Fu, Liu Xu, Qian Huang, Yan Zheng

“…In the case of shearing for 125 min under conditions of 170 S−1, 40°C, and 20 MPa, when the thickener level increased from 1% to 2%, fracturing fluid viscosity increased and then decreased, varying within 50–150 mPa·s, and the viscosity-enhancing effect was evident; under conditions of 20°C and 12 MPa, as the flow rate increased, drag reduction efficiency reached 78.3% and the minimal proppant settling speed was 0.09 m/s; under conditions of 40°C and 20 MPa, drag reduction efficiency reached 77.4% and the proppant settling speed was 0.08 m/s; with the increases in temperature, pressure, and injection amount, core damage rates of the thickener varied within 1.77%–2.88%, indicating that basically no damage occurred. …”

Diverse Leadership and Firm Success: The Role of Top Management Socialisation

“…While most studies concentrate on identifying key drivers and their impacts, our current research reinforces the connection between diversity and firm performance by incorporating team socialisation, and we find that the benefits of diversity could be maximised through effective collaboration among managers, with minimal conflict, thereby suggesting how organisations can better shape the roles of board members’ characteristics.…”
