Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Radiographic evaluation of gastroliths in a group of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the UK

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gastrolith ingestion is a known inherent behaviour in crocodiles. However, the interpretation of coelomic radiographs in crocodilians is challenging due to the limited informative literature in this field. Methods Dorsoventral coelomic radiographs of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) were acquired twice, with an ...

Radiation‐Induced Degradation in Polymeric Materials: Alterations in Physical–Chemical Properties and Their Effects on Electrical Performance of Insulation Systems

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the effects of radiation on polymeric materials used as insulation systems in electrical equipment such as cables for nuclear and particle accelerator applications. After a detailed description of the physics of radiation‐induced damage in the polymeric matrix, a comprehensive analysis of the physical–chemical and ...

Integrated Learning‐Based Ageing Assessment of Silicone Rubber

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The surface ageing of silicone rubber composite insulators, widely used in power systems, poses significant challenges. This study integrates Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with machine learning to evaluate ageing states and explore underlying mechanisms under various environmental conditions.

Effects of Exposure to Radiation and Steam on Silicone Rubber Cables Removed From a Nuclear Power Plant

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐voltage cables insulated with silicone rubber were harvested from three locations in the primary containment vessel of a boiling water nuclear power plant (NPP). Subsequently, the cable, which was placed in an ambient environment with a relatively higher temperature and the highest rate, was cut into four shorter ones.

A Systems Approach to Evaluating Ionizing Radiation: Six Focus Areas to Improve Quality, Efficiency, and Patient Safety

open access: yesJournal for Healthcare Quality, EarlyView., 2013
Abstract Ionizing radiation is an essential component of the care process. However, providers and patients may not be fully aware of the risks involved, the level of ionizing radiation delivered with various procedures, or the potential for harm through incidental overexposure or cumulative dose.

Evaluation Methodology, Numerical Verification and Retrofilling Procedure for Power Transformers to Ensure K‐Class Flame Retardancy and Environmentally Friendly

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing demands for fire safety and environmental friendliness, retrofilling transformers with alternative insulating liquids has become a growing trend. However, retrofilling power transformers remains uncertain, as more residual mineral oil compromises K‐class flame retardancy, and its impact on environmental performance has yet to ...
