短文章
Industrial production of powders involves mechanical forces fracturing
individual particles of material into ever-smaller particles. The theory
explaining this fracturing recognizes two general types of behavior exhibited
by material under stress: elastic and plastic deformation.
Elastic deformation occurs when stress is placed or a brittle material, which
deforms and then returns to its original shape when stress is removed. If the
material is stressed too heavily, however, excess energy builds up and the
material fractures. This behavior makes brittle material fracture suddenly whe
n subjected to mechanical impact by powder-making machines. Nonbrittle, or
ductile, materials by contrast, are harder to fracture, since they respond to
comparable amounts of stress by deforming plastically, that is, by changing sh
ape permanently.
Excess energy that builds up in the strained material is expended in
deformation of the material rather than in fracturing. Plastic behavior can al
so be exhibited by brittle materials as their particles become smaller during
processing and thus less susceptible to fracturing.

短文章
late-eighteenth-century political economists regarded the specialization of
labor as a positive development, resulting in increasingly refined products an
d services. However, to their contemporaries in philosophy and the arts, this
development suggested society’s disintegration into conflicting interests.
The political economists acknowledged that diverse occupations represented com
peting perspectives on society, since what one knew was a function of what one
did, but they viewed specialization as a source of social unity. Individuals
who produced only one product or service must depend on others for most of the
ir needs; this, specialization was the basis of social cohesion. The common go
od depended upon everyone’s dependency guaranteed the unity and therefore the
health of society.
A fundamental problem with this concepts recognized even then, was that
specialization seemed to preclude anyone’s being able to demonstrate that the
society was unified.
If everyone’s knowledge of society was tied to specialized occupational
interests, who was in a position to monitor society’s overall functioning?

It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuate
the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears.
If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable.

For the past 5 years, consumers in California have been willing to pay twice
as much for oysters from the northeastern Atlantic coast as for Gulf coast
oysters. This trend began shortly after harmful bacteria were found in a few r
aw Gulf coast oysters. But scientists have now devised a process for killing t
he bacteria. Once consumers are made aware of the increased safety of GC oyste
rs, they are likely to be willing to pay as much for GC as for northeastern AC
oysters, and greater profits for GC oyster procedures will follow. |
