External and internal pressures on radical social movements: tracing the (de)mobilization of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers
… chronologically and identifies the external and internal factors that led to its demobilization. By consulting primary and archival sources, I identify two external factors of demobilization, resource deprivation and repression, and one internal factor of demobilization, factionalization. It is …

An investigation of the biomechanical response from shock wave loading to the head
… magnitudes and orientations of the sample. Internal pressures in three regions of the filling and strain values in four regions of the shell were collected. </p> <p>All installation and testing details followed a scheme that was also applied to the cadaveric study conducted concurrently. …

The Bicultural Identity Development (BID) Art Therapy Intervention with Hispanic Adults
… of human development with many external and internal pressures. The difficulty of adolescence is compounded when a family immigrates to another country, thus introducing a host of new stressors. Hispanic immigrants represent a growing sector of the US population. This research study focuses …

No Principal Left Behind: Leadership and Ethical Dilemmas in the Turbulent Era of School Accountability
… after the school did not make AYP. The perceived internal pressures caused by the possible competition of a school leader's personal and professional values, as well as the necessity for leaders to guide their school toward making AYP, were investigated. In addition to internal pressures, the …

Being Better at Doing Good: Organizational Engagement and Foreign Management Practices in DPR (North) Korea
… work in DPR Korea under multiple external and internal pressures, and these organizations try to respond to their working environment in their own ways. However, it is important that these foreign organizations are able to work effectively, in order for engagement with DPRK to be meaningful. In …

Environmental life cycle costs in the Australian food packaging supply chain
There is increasing evidence that external and internal pressures are being placed upon companies to acknowledge, characterise and analyse environmental issues, impacts and costs. It has been argued that companies will increasingly be faced with responsibilities extending outside the factory gate …

US Foreign Policy During the Nixon and Ford Administrations
… of the Nixon Administration compared to internal pressures that instigated the 1973 military coup that ousted Salvador Allende. Rather than attempting to assess the degree of US responsibility for the coup, this thesis explores the motivations and contributing factors that first led to …

Difficult conversations on the frontline. Managing the tensions between care and control: are communication skills enough?
… identification with an emphasis on the internal pressures that initiate defensive manoeuvres of this kind. This is a timely and detailed study which illuminates the nuances of real practice and hopes to contribute to training initiatives for frontline, family social workers.

Development of a Lung Surrogate Model for Assessing Biomechanical Responses to Underwater Explosions (UNDEX)
… Shockwave Generator (SWG), with targeted overpressures ranging from 10 to 20 psi. The surrogates were instrumented with sensors to record changes in principal strains and internal pressures. The results were analyzed to evaluate strain and pressure trends, impulse, and potential injury …

An analytical and experimental investigation of three phase flow in airlift pumps used for diamondiferous marine gravel reclamation
… which is based on a balance of external and internal pressures, proved successful and theoretically predicted solid and liquid output flow rates compared favourably with measured solid and liquid output flow rates. Furthermore, the computer software which was subsequently developed is …

Geological applications of synthetic fluid inclusions
… the inclusions such that final confining pressures ranged from 5 kbar above to 4 kbar below the original formation pressure. Homogenization temperatures of re-equilibrated inclusions indicated densities intermediate between the initial and final P-T conditions. In short-term experiments (7 …

High-pressure compliant syntactic foam for hydraulic noise control
… The work is conducted by increasing the internal pressures of the microspheres and fluorinating their surface to inhibit loss of internal pressure before fabrication. The increased pressure within the microspheres prevents voids created by the collapsed microspheres from losing volume as …

Thermo-chemo-mechanical modelling of hydropower structures affected by alkali silica reaction
… expands in the presence of water inducing internal pressures within the concrete microstructure resulting in cracking and a reduction in elastic properties of concrete. Thus, ASR can substantially reduce serviceability and compromise the safety of concrete structures. To ensure the safe …

Managing Workforce Diversity in Canada: An Empirical Study of the Factors Affecting the Adoption and Success of Diversity Strategies in Canadian Organisations
… between variables representing external pressures, at the macro national level, internal pressures, at the meso-organisational level, and their hypothesized relationships with reactive and proactive EDI focused programmes pursued by LEEP organisations. This model is empirically validated …

Formalising the informal : the South African mini-bus taxi industry at the crossroads
… formal economy. This dualism has created many internal pressures for this industry and many of these pressures have been associated with violence. This paper considers all these multi-faceted dimensions but also calls for the sector's incorporation and regulation into the formal economy. The …

Fatigue Characteristics of Pressurized Artificial Muscles
… of pressurized artificial muscles under high pressures, loads, and strains, and how muscle geometry and materials effect the life cycle of the artificial muscle. This thesis presents a study to determine the fatigue characteristics of pressurized artificial muscles to address the issues noted …

Nonlinear response and failure characteristics of internally pressurized composite cylindrical panels
… response and failure characteristics of internally pressurized 4- to 16-ply-thick graphite-epoxy cylindrical panels are presented. Specimens with clamped boundaries simulating the skin between two frames and two stringers of a typical transport fuselage were tested to failure. Failure …

Stakeholder view congruence on cross-border graduate double degree program implementation in Japan, Australia and the United States.
… are increasingly responding to external and internal pressures to enter new educational markets abroad and establish strategic partnerships. The number of GDDPs is still small, but the proclaimed individual, institutional, and national benefits are significant. However, due to multiple …
