A Polanyian tack: political implications
… to Polanyian scholarship. A Polanyian tack ought to be given more thought as to its implications for social theory.

Crack Healing in Polymers (Fracture, Reptation, Tack)
The mechanical property development associated with the healing of polymer-polymer interfaces was studied using theoretical and experimental approaches. The healing of crazes in atactic polystyrene (PS) and microvoids in styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymers was described phenomenologically, …

Optimization of in-situ tack coat application rate and installation
… of phase 2, focuses on optimizing in-situ tack coat application rate and field installation. The main objectives of phase 2 were to validate the lab-determined optimum residual application rate for tack coat materials on a milled hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surface and to evaluate field …

Elastic Analysis of the Loop Tack Test for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
The loop tack test measures the tack (instant grip) of an adhesive. An analytical model of this test seems to be lacking and is the subject of this research. The strip is investigated using several mathematical formulations, and the solutions are obtained numerically. The loop is created from a …

Inelastic Analysis of the Loop Tack Test for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
A numerical analysis of the loop tack test is presented to study the behavior of the strip and the influence of several factors, and the results are compared with experimental ones. The numerical results can be applied to model the performance of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Since the …

Development of a testing approach for tack coat application rate at pavement layer interfaces
… is affected by different factors including tack coat material, application rate and temperature, as well as pavement mix type, volumetric characteristics, surface texture and cleanliness. Tack coat is a light layer of diluted asphalt that is applied to hot mix asphalt concrete (HMA) or …

Determination of Optimum Tack Coat Application Rate for Geocomposite Membrane Use in Roads and Overlaid Bridge Decks
… and stress absorption layer. However, the tack coat application rate is critical as an excessive amount can cause eventual slippage, while too little may result in debonding. A new geocomposite membrane, which is comprised of a low modulus PVC layer sandwiched between two layers of nonwoven …

Fracture characterization of thin bonded asphalt concrete overlay systems
… tests with emulsion and asphalt cement as tack coat material. Suggested wet application of tack coat emulsion on textured base, compacted with heated Superpave gyratory compactor top plate closely resembles field installation of TBOs. Moreover tack coat emulsion permeation effects on …

Filler effects in resole adhesive formulations
… was determined and used to develop an adhesive tack measurement based upon lubrication theory. In this work, the probe-tack test was adapted to a typical stress-controlled rheometer by using the normal force and displacement system to compress the adhesive between parallel plates. By employing a …

The Jesuits history's most effective special operators
… far more effective than the relatively forceful tack taken by Dominican and Franciscan missionaries. We propose to examine the most successful Jesuit practices, create a general model of their approach, and draw parallels to similar contemporary challenges to special operators.

Adaptive Protocols for Reliable Internet Data Transport
… set of results are regarding the delay-sensitive TACK (DSTACK) protocol, which is a modification of GTACK that provides adaptive congestion control for delay-sensitive applications. Integration of REP and DSTACK to obtain a protocol that provides adaptive error recovery and congestion control is …

The Later Heidegger and Contemporary Theology of God
… corpus. As a result, the first methodological tack used throughout this study establishes Heidegger's abiding thematic interests. Only after appreciating the continuity and context of his work can tentative and cautious theological applications be made as the second methodological tack. This …

Svarta Hål i Fysikens Historia
… kommande generation av vetenskapliga tänkare. Tack vare sitt mystiska och medryckande väsen kan svarta hål förse oss med en unik lins genom vilken evolutionen av modern fysik kan uppskattas.

Unidos por la charrería
… riders must use sanctioned garb and horse tack. But riders in the U.S. carry more than just the technical knowledge of the sport. For central Texas teams outside of Austin, their participation in this culturally significant sport brings together their community. It connects riders with …

Using Multiple Objective Optimization for Autonomous Sailing Vessels
… a sine wave-based approach for defining upwind tacking maneuvers. Building from a foundation in mathematical analysis, an algorithm was developed that employs the sine function to model the vessel’s tack plan. Furthermore, the thesis explores the integration of this behavior within the MOOS-IvP …

Exponering för kropps- och utseendeideal på sociala medier : Unga kvinnors självkänsla, kroppsbild och kroppsnöjdhet
… för exponering för kropps- och utseendeideal. Tack vare teknologins framsteg är det lättare att manipulera och redigera bilder för att verka mera eftersträvansvärd, vilket har lett till att orealistiska och ouppnåeliga mål skapats. I den här avhandlingen granskas problemet från två perspektiv: …

Evaluation of interlayer bonding in hot mix asphalt pavements
… To further investigate the level of bonding, a tack failure ratio was determined for each section, by modifying an equation for the equivalent modulus of two combined asphalt layers, and that was correlated to the slip between layers. This study developed a framework for the application of FWD …

Influence of rider-to-horse body weight ratio and horse conformation on competition results at the 2023 World Championships for Icelandic horses, and a survey on horses’ training and health backgrounds
… examined rider weight (RW), horse weight (HW), tack weight (TW), rider-to-horse body weight ratio (BWR), and conformational measurements in Icelandic horses competing at the 2023 World Championships in Oirschot, the Netherlands. The aims were to quantify these parameters, evaluate their …
