title: Can nonhumans speak? Languaging and worlds in posthumanist applied linguistics

authors: Demuro, Eugenia

subjects: posthumanism

abstract: This paper mobilises posthumanism as a way to theorise and articulate what language(s)/languagingmay be for nonhuman animals. This is investigated via various concepts brought together: we turn to the on-tological turn in anthropology to expand on what language is, or might be, amongst humans, and then discussUmwelt and languaging as two possible modes of exploring ontologies and biosemiosis among nonhumans. Thedialogue between posthumanism and biosemiosis is so far absent in the field of critical language studies. Theaim, thus, is to contribute to the nascent field of posthumanist applied linguistics by tentatively linking discretefields of enquiry for a productive exchange across disciplines, and to further the discussion of how nonhumanlanguage is (or may be) ontologised

title: Effect of manganese on grain refinement of Mg–Al based alloys

authors: Cao, Peng

subjects: Magnesium alloys

abstract: Manganese is a grain refiner for high purity Mg–3%Al, Mg–6%Al, Mg–9%Al, and commercial AZ31 (Mg–3%Al–1%Zn) alloys when introduced in the form of an Al–60%Mn master alloy splatter but the use of pure Mn flakes and ALTAB™ Mn75 tablets shows no grain refinement. Long time holding of the melt at 730 °C leads to an increase in grain size. The mechanism is attributed to the presence of an ε-AlMn phase (hexagonal close-packed) in the master alloy splatter.

title: One hundred years of Sylvia Ashton-Warner: An introduction.

authors: Middleton, Sue

subjects: Sylvia Ashton-Warner

abstract: A biography of Sylvia Ashton-Warner is presented. She was born on 17 December 1908 in New Zealand. She studied at the Auckland Teachers' Training College and taught in several native schools including Horoera Native School and Pipiriki Native School. Later she started writing, starting with "Teacher," a book about teaching schemes and followed by "Incense to Idols," "Bell Call," and "Greenstone." Also, her travels to various places are mentioned.
