Isoi and Homoioi: equality and sameness in T.H. Green's political thought (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hann, M. (2012, December). Isoi and Homoioi: equality and sameness in T.H. Green's political thought. Presented at Political Studies Association Annual Conference 2012, Belfast

T.H. Green was clear that rights cannot exist, save for in a society, in which people recognise each other as ἴσοι καὶ ὅμοιοι. Green leaves the phrase untranslated, and there is a certain ambiguity about what exactly Green meant. This paper aims to e... Read More about Isoi and Homoioi: equality and sameness in T.H. Green's political thought.

Reconstruction of the Unsteady Pressure Field in a Low Speed Linear Cascade (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Förster, F., Sims-Williams, D., & Ingram, G. (2012, December). Reconstruction of the Unsteady Pressure Field in a Low Speed Linear Cascade. Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2012: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition, Copenhagen, Denmark

This paper describes investigations into unsteady flow phenomena in a high turning linear cascade with a nominal steady flow. A fast response five hole probe was used to obtain time-accurate measurements. Since a single probe was used to traverse an...
