Court administrators amassed many of these documents in the context of trials for alchemical fraud. Most historians will be quite familiar with these kinds of criminal records. Scholars of early modern Europe in particular have used them frequently to access the lives of individuals who otherwise did not leave a trace in archives and libraries.14 Historians of science, however, have used trial records much less frequently, particularly those from secular courts.15 These criminal records—particularly the interrogation records—are, of course, notoriously difficult to work with. The voices of accused criminals have come to us in highly mediated form, and the power dynamic involved in confessions recorded under the threat or use of torture makes them particularly problematic. As Natalie Zemon Davis has noted, however, the tales people told, even under the pressure of life and death, "can still be analyzed in terms of the life and values of the person saving his neck by a story."16 Criminal records may never tell us what "really" happened, but the fact that witnesses stories had to... 

The power dynamics along the supply chain appear to put buyers at a disadvantage. Some retailers express frustration that they do not receive adequate information from their chemical suppliers and wish information were more forthcoming, particularly pertaining to new materials being developed (Thorpe, 2003). 

The capacities and utilizations obtained under the variable power Dynamic Stress Test at 25°C and — 18°C followed a similar trend. The results for materials which gave good utilizations are summarized in Table 5.5. 

Arguably the above quote is in keeping with the notion of Foucault s own life as text To reiterate we are considering the construction of discursive fields, the internalization of discipline, new forms of subjectivity, and the resistance that is an inevitable part of the power dynamic.

Last but not least, the customers are expecting from a fuel ceU vehicle performance on the same level as conventional ones. System power, dynamics, power to weight ratio as well as maximum speed are key elements for the performance feeling. The subjective comfort of the passengers and the environment is influenced by the not to be underestimated effect of the noise-vibration-harshness performance. 

The Barco Rheomicro computer package enables existing oscillating disc rheometers to be converted to a powerful dynamic testing system. 

This is not to say that miasmas and plastic pollution are synonymous. Miasmas are local, while plastic pollution is global. Miasmas often came from natural sources such as swamps and manure, while plastic pollution is a synthetic chemical tied into an industrial economy dominated by multinational corporations. The influence model does not address the power dynamics, the extreme longevity or the industrial-consumer sources characteristic of plastic pollution that must be taken into account when... 

Many of the compounds in the large list of Garland and Nounesis have N-SmA phase transitions determined to be continuous by calorimetry and X-ray diffraction and discontinuous using the more powerful dynamic test of phase transition order [4]. In particular, the compounds known as 8CB and 9CB, with second order N-SmA phase transitions by the standard tests [25], were...

But northern and southern mass-produced vessels, even if used in the same kinds of contexts, did not provide their users with exactly the same kind of experience. And here for the first time the real postcolonial meaning of hybrid-ity is evident, and evident as a powerful dynamic for subsequent history. I want to remind the reader that hybridity is not indicated by the mere transference of goods, symbols, and ideas from one group to another but by the transformation of those goods, symbols, and ideas through the intersection of different understandings of them.
