Towards a political economy of the sacred: a Marxist critique of the sacred dynamics of society by Dexter, Phillip

“…This thesis puts forward the argument that the efficacy of ideas that have an impact on human subjects, causing them to act or behave in particular, noticeable ways, such as religion and ideology, is a product of the process of the necessary social labour involved in the production, circulation, exchange and consumption of symbolic property. Symbolic property is itself a product of the set-apart sacred, which is a basic, primary, socially constructed category that is strategically deployed in systems for the appropriation, expropriation, ownership, control and management of all property, whether material or symbolic. …”

Flexible Media Polishing Machine for Ti-6Al-4V Components by de Jongh, Quintin Oliver

“…This aim was affirmed by developing models to characterize the Flexolap polishing process, as well as by using experimental analysis to verify the process viability and compatibility with Ti-6Al-4V (and subsequently, other easier to machine materials). A thorough literature review is presented with the most important conclusions of optimal polishing conditions (high hydration, high media impinging velocity and a 45º polishing angle) and applicable modelling methods (momentum, critical values, and vibrational analysis). …”
