Entrained Air-Void System For Durable Highway Concrete
In the US, the most commonly used F-T test method is AASHTO T 161 “A.” The equipment for variant A of the test is relatively low cost (~$22, 000) and compact. The relatively low cost stems from the basic construction of a refrigerant-based cooling system and resistive heating elements. These units …

Medicating race : heart disease and durable preoccupations with difference
This dissertation is an examination of intersections of race, pharmaceuticals, and heart disease over the course of the 20th century and today. Each of these parts has had a dynamic history, and when they are invoked together they provide a terrain for arguments about interventions in health and in …
