Characterization of Heat Transfer Fluids by Surface Tension and Contact Angle Measurements (2015)
Journal Article
Nnyigide, O. S., Salehiyan, R., & Xialoei, L. (2015). Characterization of Heat Transfer Fluids by Surface Tension and Contact Angle Measurements. International Journal of Management, IT and Engineering, 5(5), 29-37

It is required in heat transfer applications that a coolant fluid makes and retains contact with the surface being cooled. This phenomenon is called surface wettability. Surface tension and contact angle measurements are effective tools used to measu... Read More about Characterization of Heat Transfer Fluids by Surface Tension and Contact Angle Measurements.

Scalpel and Metaphor: The Ceremony of Organ Harvest in Gothic Science Fiction (2015)
Journal Article

In organ transfer, tissue moves through a web of language. Metaphors reclassify the tissue to enable its redeployment, framing the process for practitioners and public. The process of marking off tissue as transferrable in legal and cultural terms pa... Read More about Scalpel and Metaphor: The Ceremony of Organ Harvest in Gothic Science Fiction.
