Experimental and Numerical Study of the Interfacial Shear Strength in Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Resin Composite under Thermal Loads by Hongxiao Wang, Xiaohui Zhang, Yugang Duan, Lingjie Meng

“…To evaluate the change in IFSS as a function of the increase in temperature, a microbond test was performed under controlled temperature environment from 23°C to 150°C. The experimental results showed that IFSS values of CF/EP reduce significantly when the temperature reaches near glass transition temperature. …”

Alice’s Non-Anthropocentric Ethics: Lewis Carroll as a Defender of Animal Rights by Anna Kérchy

“…Carroll’s own description of his heroine with positive animal attributes, ‘loving as a dog’ and ‘gentle as a fawn’ (1887) resonates with an ethical agenda outlined in his novels starting out from the multidimensional interspecies relationship that conceives of difference in a non-dualistic, posthumanist deconstructive, Derridean (2008) way. …”
