Recombining Micro/macro: the Grammar of Theoretical Innovation
This paper analyses the grammar underlying debates in sociological theory, using the debate surrounding the distinction between ‘micro’ and ‘macro’ as its case. Although and indeed because few authors have attempted explicit definition of the distinction, a number of different distinctions have been subsumed under these labels and research has been shaped by packages of assumptions that have go...
متن کاملresponse articles: micro and macro analysis
the present study reports an analysis of response articles in four different disciplines in the social sciences, i.e., linguistics, english for specific purposes (esp), accounting, and psychology. the study has three phases: micro analysis, macro analysis, and e-mail interview. the results of the micro analysis indicate that a three-level linguistic pattern is used by the writers in order to cr...
15 صفحه اولMacro Aerodynamic Devices Controlled by Micro Systems
During the past few years, Micro-ElectroMechanical-Systems (MEMS) has emerged as a major enabling technology across the engineering disciplines. In this study, the possibility of applying MEMS to the aerodynamic field was explored. We have demonstrated that microtransducers can be used to control the motion of a delta wing in a wind tunnel and can even maneuver a scaled aircraft in flight tests...
متن کاملFrom a Micro–Macro Framework to a Micro–Meso–Macro Framework
S.H. Christensen et al. (eds.), Engineering, Development and Philosophy, Philosophy of Engineering and Technology 11, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-5282-5_2, © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2012 Abstract At the beginning of the twentyfi rst century, the philosophy of engineering is becoming its own distinct branch of philosophy. The growing importance of philosophy of engineering cannot be...
متن کاملGeomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro
Granular anisotropy is attributable to many complex behaviors of granular materials and reflects important microstructures at the grain scale, and should be fully considered towards the development of realistic constitutive models for such materials. In this paper, we present a study on the behavior of anisotropy using a three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM). Isotropic packings of san...
