Low-Load Vickers Microindentation Hardness Testing
Authors: Vander Voort George F. , Fowler Ryan 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This article reviews the measurement physics of macro and micro Vickers indentation testing and the factors that determine measurement precision and repeatability. Study results show that when force loads of less than 100 gf are used, it is difficult for operators to precisely determine the position of the indenter tip, leading to various measurement errors. These errors explain the data anomalies reported in the literature for low-load Vickers hardness testing, which are often incorrectly attributed to material characteristics.
Taking the Stress Out of Composites Testing
Authors: Fahrenholz Helmut 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Measuring material properties is disproportionately more complex for fiber-reinforced composites than for materials such as metals and plastics. It is further complicated by more than 150 composite test standards in use around the globe. This article assesses the challenges involved in testing fiber-reinforced composites and presents a rational approach for specimen preparation, handling, and fixturing that can simplify testing and improve throughput without sacrificing measurement accuracy.

Antimicrobial Benefits of Copper Alloys
Authors: Michel J. , Moran W. , Estelle A. , Sexton K. , Michels H. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Laboratory tests conducted at the University of Southampton, UK, found that many species of bacteria including hospital superbugs, MRSA and VRE, are killed in less than 2 h on copper alloy surfaces. Tests conducted in a third-party lab subject to EPA audits confirmed these results, concluding that a range of copper alloy surfaces, such as brass, bronze, copper nickel, and nickel silver, achieve a 99.9% reduction of bacteria within 2 h of contact and that the effect is not impaired by tarnish. Other such tests have since been conducted and the results are presented in the article.

Grounded Assertions in 1/1000th of a Dunam: Soil as a Site for Collective Memory and Decolonial Disruption
Authors: Hamadeh Rana 
Published: May 2023

<p><em>1/1000th of a Dunam </em>is a multimedia exhibition exploring Palestinian assertions of belonging through the site of soil, an epistemic space where land and belonging are imagined, where in reality they have been denied. For many Palestinians who keep a handful of soil with them across the diaspora, soil acts as a material stand-in for the nonmaterial memories tying them to home. This persistent refusal to forget plays a key role in resisting the settler-colonial impetus to sever ties between Palestinians and the land. In the face of Israeli denial of both Palestinian histories and futures, the project <em>1/1000th of a Dunam </em>looks at one way that memory is revived and attachment to land renewed: through the symbolism and materiality of Palestinian soil. </p>
Marcela
Authors: Lobo Dina 
Published: May 2023

<p><em>Marcela </em>is an autobiographical and auto ethnographic documentary film that uses personal archival VHS footage and interviews with the subject’s family members to explore the main question at the center of the film: After many years of ballet practice, why did Dina quit ballet as a young girl? In revisiting this event from the past, the viewer is taken on a journey in exploring the environment she grew up in that led to that decision. In searching for the answer and in learning about the internalized racial trauma passed on through her father, an unexpected revelation becomes the main takeaway of this film. <em>Marcela </em>is a reflexive meditation that reveals more than the subject had initially asked for. Dina’s multiracial and Third Culture Child identity become part of a more complex narrative in which the subject becomes aware that half of their identity got lost in a hostile and racist environment. </p>
Gav-khouni
Authors: Askary Hemmat Sahar 
Published: May 2023

<p><em>Gav-khouni </em>is an installation that examines the relationship between place and identity. This is done based on the artist’s lived experience of relocation and the story of the drying up of a river in her hometown. In this paper, this project is explored within theoretical and documentary practice contexts. In doing so, various concepts of identity, place and memory are studied to interpret how relocations can affect a sense of identity. The history of the river and the effects of its damming, abstraction and diversion are discussed to understand its metaphorical presence in the project. Additionally, documentary aspects of the work, influential artists, and the process of the development of the project are explored. The findings of the project reveal the strong bond between place and identity, and they point to the impacts that changes of places have on the identities of people who relate to them. </p>
Towards Inclusion: The Budd Car Train from Sudbury to White River
Authors: Stark Frank 
Published: May 2023

<p>The train from Sudbury to White River is an agent of inclusion. Because there are few main roads intersecting the 484 kilometres of the route, communities and lodges along the way often rely on the Budd Car to connect them to the outside world. </p>
<p>Isolation may be considered as part of a matrix of elements related to low in- come, including poverty, powerlessness, vulnerability, and ill health. Inclusion refers to community participation, the right to services, and the concern with individual well-be- ing, including that of women and children. Inclusion involves helping to bring people into the foreground who have been pushed into the background. </p>
<p>The isolation of individuals, families, or communities is not a static condition but a dynamic activity. This qualitative study of people on the train combines photography and commentary. It explores how the experience of the train itself, and the passenger service as an institution, assists with inclusion. </p>
