Walter Benjamin and the Inhumanities: Towards a Pedagogical Anti-Nietzscheanism
Creators: name: Charles, Matthew
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: The  following  discussion  is  intended  as  a  critical  intervention  into  recent  debates  about the “crisis of the humanities,” reading the symptomaticity of crisis in the medical sense  of  a  turning  point.  It  does  so  from  the  perspective  of  the  work  of  Walter  Benja-min, whose own transdisciplinary practice of thought has been characterized as a “phi-losophy directed against philosophy” and a “philosophizing beyond philosophy,” and stands as a model for the kind of intellectual and para-academic activity evoked here.1Historically re-situating Benjamin’s famous allegory of the Angel of History from the twentieth-century context of the “crisis of culture” to the contemporary “crisis of edu-cation,” it attempts to reconstruct a dialectical understanding of pedagogization within Benjamin’s  work,  which  is  used  to  sketch  out  the  contours  of  a  critically  reimagined  pedagogy of the Inhumanities.
The media image of China in Africa: a frame analysis of Kenyan, Nigerian, and Zimbabwean newspapers

Subjects: China-Africa

description: While China-Africa relations date back to the 15th century, China’s interest and involvement in the continent increased in the last two centuries leading to the formation of the Forum on Africa-China Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2000. Mainly, the relationship is characterised by huge Chinese migration, business investments and loans across the whole of Africa as well as cultural exchange programs. As a result, there has arisen a concept which researchers commonly refer to as China in Africa. However, parallel to the growing academic interest in China’s presence in Africa, has been accusations that China is plundering Africa’s natural resources and exploiting the local workforce leading to Beijing making strenuous efforts to shape its image by framing its relationship with Africa as a mutually beneficial partnership. Nevertheless, despite growing academic interest, the phenomenon of China in Africa is still under researched with need for more studies including on how China is represented in the media. This study, therefore, accesses a cross national media image of China over its involvement in Africa from three Anglophone countries namely Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe through frame analysis and over a five-year period (2014-18). Totally, 1 384 news stories from six newspapers (Two from each country) were analysed. As opposed to a straightforwardly positive or negative media image, this study found a balanced African media image of China in the form of a contest of pessimistic and optimistic frames. Although this finding resonates with the hypothesis of a balanced image, the thesis, mainly, establishes the image’s stability over years. The thesis found that although gravitating towards some degree of complexity this image has remained stable for many years. Because this image is accessed from three distinct African regions (East, Southern and West Africa), the thesis argues that this is enough for it to be said to represent an Africa wide situation and to propose the testing of the ubiquity of the image in the broader Global South. The thesis also argues that while China’s soft power and economic statecraft are evident in Africa, their effect on its [China] image have been slow so far hence the stability of the image.
Have Risk Premia Vanished?

description: We apply a new methodology for identifying pervasive and discrete changes (“breaks”) in cross-sectional risk premia and find empirical evidence that these are economically important for understanding returns on US stocks. Size, value, and investment risk premia have fallen off to the point where they are insignificantly different from zero at the end of the sample. The market risk premium has also declined systematically over time but remains significant and positive as do the momentum and profitability risk premia. We construct a new instability risk factor from cross-sectional differences in individual stocks’ exposure to time-varying risk premia and show that this factor earns a premium comparable to that of commonly used risk factors. Using industry- and characteristics-sorted portfolios, we show that some breaks to the return premium process are broad-based, affecting all stocks regardless of industry- or firm characteristics, while others are limited to stocks with specific style characteristics. Moreover, we identify distinct lead-lag patterns in how breaks to the risk premium process impact stocks in different industries and with different style characteristics.

description: We discuss the arising of bound states solutions of the Schrödinger equation due to the presence of a Coulomb-type potential induced by the interaction between a moving electric quadrupole moment and a magnetic field. Furthermore, we study the influence of the Coulomb-type potential on the harmonic oscillator by showing a quantum effect characterized by the dependence of the angular frequency on the quantum numbers of the system, whose meaning is that not all values of the angular frequency are allowed.

description: We study smoothness of generalized solutions of nonlocal elliptic problems in plane bounded domains with piecewise smooth boundary. The case where the support of nonlocal terms can intersect the boundary is considered. We find conditions that are necessary and sufficient for any generalized solution to possess an appropriate smoothness (in terms of Sobolev spaces). Both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous nonlocal boundary-value conditions are studied.

The Necessity of Education: Or How Can One Still Be an Althusserian in the Wake of Badiou?
Creators: name: Badiei, Sina

description: In  his  essay,  “Ideology  and  the  Ideological  State  Apparatus,”1  Althusser  proclaims  the  educational  apparatus  to  have  become  what  the  church  or  religious  apparatus  was  in  the Middle Ages. That is to say, the educational apparatuses are the ones where people are more effectively than anywhere else subjected to becoming subjects, in the negative sense of this term used in Althusser.The main reason he cites for this choice is that “no other ideological state apparatus has  the  obligatory  (and  not  least,  free)  audience  of  the  totality  of  the  children  in  the  capitalist social formation, eight hours a day for five or six days out of seven.”2 Yet if we were to accept what Althusser tells us, we can’t, overlook another phenomenon which has been emerging in our epoch; I am here referring to an article in one of the issues of The  Economist  magazine  where  concerned  parents  were  advised  not  to  send  their  children  to  schools  at  all  and  to  have  them  study  only  and  only  computer  program-ming from the earliest years if they wanted them to become successful in it professions. What can we make of this paradox?
Complex conductivity in strongly fluctuating layered superconductors

description: The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau approach is used to calculate the complex fluctuation conductivity in layered type-II superconductor under magnetic field. Layered structure of the superconductor is accounted for by means of the Lawrence-Doniach model, while the nonlinear interaction term in dynamics is treated within self-consistent Gaussian approximation. In high-$T_{c}$ materials, large portion of the $H-T$ diagram belongs to vortex liquid phase. The expressions summing contributions of all the Landau levels are presented in explicit form which are applicable essentially to the whole phase and are compared to experimental data on high-$T_{c}$ superconductor YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-δ}$. Above the crossover to the "normal phase", our results agree with the previously obtained.

description: This paper presents a detailed spectral pixel (spaxel) analysis of the ten Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) previously observed with the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS), an integral field spectrograph mounted on the ANU 2.3m telescope, and for which an abundance gradient analysis has already been presented by Rich et al. (2012). Here we use the strong emission line analysis techniques developed by Dopita et al. (2013) to measure the ionisation parameter and the oxygen abundance in each spaxel. In addition, we use the observed H$α$ flux to determine the surface rate of star formation ($M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-2}$) and use the [\ion{S}{2}] $λ\lambda6717/6731$ ratio to estimate the local pressure in the ionised plasma. We discuss the correlations discovered between these physical quantities, and use them to infer aspects of the physics of star formation in these extreme star forming environments. In particular, we find a correlation between the star formation rate and the inferred ionisation parameter. We examine the possible reasons for this correlation, and determine that the most likely explanation is that the more active star forming regions have a different distribution of molecular gas which favour higher ionisation parameters in the ionised plasma.

Year: 1929

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Torsion and noninertial effects on a nonrelativistic Dirac particle

description: We investigate torsion and noninertial effects on a spin-$1/2$ quantum particle in the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation. We consider the cosmic dislocation spacetime as a background and show that a rotating system of reference can be used out to distances which depend on the parameter related to the torsion of the defect. Therefore, we analyse torsion effects on the spectrum of energy of a nonrelativistic Dirac particle confined to a hard-wall potential in a Fermi-Walker reference frame.
The University Must Be Transcended

description: It seems that I am not the only one here among us who linked the title of this confer-ence to Maurice Blanchot’s last work L’Écriture du désastre – a text that begins with the following  phrase:  “Le  désastre  ruine  tout  en  laissant  tout  en  l’état.”1  The  modality  of  disaster is thus to ruin everything while leaving everything in state. Destruction is not disposal,  what  is  destroyed  is  not  transferred  to  some  place  arranged  specifically  for  that purpose. If there is a place reserved for disaster it is only that of the ruin: what is destroyed remains there, on the same ground that once supported its coherency.But what of the state of our pedagogies? As much as I hate to utter banalities, peda-gogy (from Plutarch to Rousseau and up to the field of philosophy of education) is a word charged with agents, spaces, ceremonies, and unnamable desires. And whereas it can be distinguished from the administrative aspect of education, in that it assumes a more or less personal relationship between the educator and the educated, I take this distinction to be overtly metaphysical. Both pedagogy and its administrative aspect are technologies that can be viewed and analyzed on the same, immanent level. Pedagogy is administrative exactly because it is performative and administration is pedagogical in that it involves several forms of discipline. The strict distinction between a pedagogi-cal and an administrative aspect of education is thus a mere illusion. But it is a highly interesting one, exactly because it takes itself to be real, leading us to believe that had the balance between the administrative and the pedagogical been disturbed in favor of the former, humanities could face the danger of their destruction.

Nëse ka ndonjë vend të rezervuar për shkatërrimin kjo është vetëm rrënoja: çfarë shkatërrohet mbetet atje, në të njëjtin vend që një herë e një kohë mbështeste koherencën e saj.Por  ç’mund  të  themi  për  gjendjen  e  pedagogjive  tona?

Dhe  ndonëse  ajo  mund  të  dallohet  prej  aspektit  ad-ministrative  të  arsimit,  sepse  ajo  nënkupton  një  marrëdhënie  pak  a  shumë  personale  midis  mësuesit  dhe  nxënësit,  për  mua  ky  dallim  është  ca  si  tepër  metafizik.  Si  peda-gogjia ashtu dhe aspekti administrativ i saj janë teknologji që mund të vërehen dhe të analizohen në të njëjtin plan imanent. Pedagogjia është administrative pikërisht sepse ajo është performative dhe administrata është pedagogjike sepse ajo përfshin forma të ndryshme disipline. Pra dallimi definitiv midis aspekteve pedagogjike dhe administra-tive të arsimit është thjesht një iluzion. Ama ai është një iluzion mjaft interesant, pikëri-sht sepse ai mendon se është i vërtetë, duke na bërë të mendojmë se nëse balanca midis administratives dhe pedagogjikes do të ishte lëkundur në favor të së parës, humanitetet do të mund të përballeshin me kërcënimin e shkatërrimit të tyre.

(We are nearing the end of September now and I have forgotten which awards I intended to give to whom or how I was going to go about the whole thing.) I think also about the implications of the fact that for so many authors English is not their first language. Vincent suggests I write something instead. I decide to attempt it.

Precise Algorithm to Generate Random Sequential Addition of Hard Hyperspheres at Saturation

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Random sequential addition (RSA) time-dependent packing process, in which congruent hard hyperspheres are randomly and sequentially placed into a system without interparticle overlap, is a useful packing model to study disorder in high dimensions. Of particular interest is the infinite-time {\it saturation} limit in which the available space for another sphere tends to zero. However, the associated saturation density has been determined in all previous investigations by extrapolating the density results for near-saturation configurations to the saturation limit, which necessarily introduces numerical uncertainties. We have refined an algorithm devised by us [S. Torquato, O. Uche, and F.~H. Stillinger, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 74}, 061308 (2006)] to generate RSA packings of identical hyperspheres. The improved algorithm produce such packings that are guaranteed to contain no available space using finite computational time with heretofore unattained precision and across the widest range of dimensions ($2 \le d \le 8$). We have also calculated the packing and covering densities, pair correlation function $g_2(r)$ and structure factor $S(k)$ of the saturated RSA configurations. As the space dimension increases, we find that pair correlations markedly diminish, consistent with a recently proposed "decorrelation" principle, and the degree of "hyperuniformity" (suppression of infinite-wavelength density fluctuations) increases. We have also calculated the void exclusion probability in order to compute the so-called quantizer error of the RSA packings, which is related to the second moment of inertia of the average Voronoi cell. Our algorithm is easily generalizable to generate saturated RSA packings of nonspherical particles.

description: We  think,  from  the  Matter  of  Trudeau,  that  the  lieutenancy of L'Amérique Souterraine began in the Kingdoms of RÉSO, stretching  from  the  Shanghai  Tunnels,  a  damp  network  of maison des compagnons in Westside with fast and frequent dragonship links to China, to the sacred commercial halls on the St. Lawrence. A densely populated subterranean frontier of  Francophones,  heathens  and  artisans,  the  Kingdoms  of RÉSO  did  not  organise  itself  according  to  the  corrupt  conventions  of  the  terrestrial  world.  It  was  a  series  of  autono-mous  manufacturing  nodes  and  passageways  that  did  not respect state, provincial, or even national borders. Kingdoms comprised  smaller  chapters  known  as galeries.  Most  activi-ties in the Kingdoms of RÉSO were organised by the maison des  compagnons  of  the galeries.  The  houses  were  advised by  the  Compagnon  du  L'Amérique  Souterraine,  the  master artisans of Les Cours Mont-Royal, home of the awe-inspiring chandelier  of the  Monte  Carlo  Casino  and  RÉSO’s  most  ex-clusive   boutiques.   RÉSO’s   Grandmasters   had   achieved Outremont by embarking upon la tour across every centime-ter  of  the  tunnels  and galeries  of  continental  L'Amérique Souterraine,  a  4,500  km  journey  to  the  West.  On  the  way, they worked with the great master artisans of the Kingdoms of  RÉSO,  acquiring  skills  and  smurfberries.  Having  attained enlightenment,  they  finally  rested  as  Sedantaire  bestowing their wisdom from Les Cours Mont-Royal’s Spa Diva, RÉSO’s largest and most  luxurious  spa,  providing  them  with  finest treatments  and  bespoke  services  designed,  ultimately,  to make them feel better than they had felt in a long time.

description: This deliverable describes the design of the evolved 5G Service layer solutions, in its final form as being realised in the 5GZORRO platform. The document builds upon the structure and the contents of D3.1 where the preliminary architecture and design choices were presented. It is intended to be a standalone version of 5GZORRO Service layer solutions design, aligned with the final version of 5GZORRO architecture reported in WP2. In addition to WP3 components design, the document includes descriptions of major technology enablers used to design and realise the 5GZORRO Service layer solutions, showing why these concepts (the DLT and the AIOPs) were chosen and how they have been applied in 5GZORRO context, both for realizing 5G Service layer solutions of WP3 (Identity and Permissions, Governance, Marketplace, Cross-domain Analytics & Intelligence) and in a broader context of Zero-touch Service Management and Orchestration developed in WP4. This final version of 5G Service layer solutions design is informed by the implementation activites performed across WP3 and WP4 (organized as several goal-oriented software development teams) as well as by the integration and validation activities ongoing as part of WP5 (Validation through Use Cases). To summarize, this deliverable complements the final version of 5GZORRO architecture, providing deeper level of detail for components and services contributed by WP3 along with their internal design and interworkings that will be further detailed in the last deliverable of WP3, D3.2, with low level descriptions of the software prototypes of evolved 5G Service layer solutions.

description: During the spring semester of 2014, Old Dominion University offered a Study Abroad course called “Paris/Auschwitz” that I designed with funding from the Curt C. and Else Silberman Foundation and the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Over spring break, I led a group of eighteen students to France and Poland to study sites of Holocaust memory along with faculty team member, Dr. Brett Bebber. Dr. Bebber and I are both professors in the Department of History. The Study Abroad course was part of my attempt to create more Holocaust courses at Old Dominion University for the History major and Jewish Studies minor as well as contribute to the University’s emphasis on innovative international programming through Study Abroad. In addition, we secured funding from the Tidewater Jewish Foundation to support one student scholarship for the class and trip, and honor student and college senior Emma Needham won the scholarship. We also embedded service learning and interfaith activities into the course with post-trip opportunities for reflective commentary at an event organized on campus and another one held at a local synagogue, Temple Israel in Norfolk. Students produced research papers as part of the course, and the finest two undergraduate papers are published here. This journal also includes student “Reflections” produced for the post-trip campus event held on April 9, 2014. The Study Abroad class included thirteen undergraduate and five graduate students, and while this is an undergraduate research journal, we are publishing the reflection pieces of the entire group.

description: O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a relação professor-aluno e o confronto dos saberes do aluno com os conteúdos do professor, através da análise de uma experiêcia em sala de aula, na Escola Municipal Manoel Monteiro, em São Lourenço, Minas Gerais, no ano de 2005. Procura-se demonstrar como o educador pode, mesmo sem ter intenção, transmitir seus condicionamentos ao educando, limitando neste a ação criativa, quando a sua missão seria estimular a autonomia. O referencial teórico do trabalho se sustenta na ideia de que em sala de aula o educador não pratica suficientemente o ato de ouvir e entender os alunos. Como resultado das análises, verificou-se que é preciso aprofundar a discussão sobre o condicionamento cultural que o educador possui e transmite ao educando, com base em Piaget e outros pesquisadores.

description: The  term  neomedievalism  is  often  attributed  to  the  writings of  the  English  political  theorist  Hedley  Bull  who,  in  1977, published The Anarchical Society: A Study of Order in World Politics. Writing at the tail end of détente, Bull used a medi-eval  analogy  to  build  a  theoretical  model  “for  the  future structure  of  world  politics  that  could  replace  the  system  of sovereign states”.1 Bull was one of the first prominent theo-rists to argue for the emerging influence of non-state actors, such  as  the  United  Nations  and  private  transnational  corpo-rations, in global policy making. Prior to the development of the Westphalian systems of territorial sovereignty and nation building,  he  argued,  Europe  was  organised  by  multiple, asymmetric  layers  of  authority,  each  of  which  shared  sover-eignty  with the  others.  These  layers  of  sovereignty  were overlapping  and  were  not  supreme;  authority  was  shared among  rulers,  the  vassals  beneath  them,  and  the  Pope  and the Holy Roman Emperor above. He argued that “if modern states  were  to  come  to  share  their  authority  over  their  citi-zens, and their ability to command their loyalties, on the one hand  with  regional  and  world  authorities  and  on  the  other with  sub-state  or  sub-national  authorities,  to  such  an  extent that  the  concept  of  sovereignty  ceased  to  be  applicable,then a neo-mediaeval form of universal political order might be said to have emerged”.

description: Electronic level alignment at the interface between an adsorbed molecular layer and a semiconducting substrate determines the activity and efficiency of many photocatalytic materials. Standard density functional theory (DFT) based methods have proven unable to provide a quantitative description of this level alignment. This requires a proper treatment of the anisotropic screening, necessitating the use of quasiparticle (QP) techniques. However, the computational complexity of QP algorithms has meant a quantitative description of interfacial levels has remained elusive. We provide a systematic study of a prototypical interface, bare and methanol covered rutile TiO$_2$(110) surfaces, to determine the type of many-body theory required to obtain an accurate description of the level alignment. This is accomplished via a direct comparison with metastable impact electron spectroscopy (MIES), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and two-photon photoemission (2PP) spectra. We consider GGA DFT, hybrid DFT and $G_0W_0$, $\mathrm{scQP}GW1$, $\mathrm{scQP}GW_0$, and $\mathrm{scQP}GW$ QP calculations. Our results demonstrate that $G_0W_0$, or our recently introduced $\mathrm{scQP}GW1$ approach, are required to obtain the correct alignment of both highest occupied and lowest unoccupied interfacial molecular levels (HOMO/LUMO). These calculations set a new standard in the interpretation of electronic structure probe experiments of complex organic molecule-semiconductor interfaces.

Walking on a Tight Rope: Introduction
Creators: name: Lambert, Léopald
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: Since 2007, the blog The Funambulist tells stories about lines. The line is architecture’s representative medium; it creates diagrams of power that use architecture’s intrinsic violence on the bodies to organize them in space. If the white page represents a given milieu — a desert, for  example  —  when  an  architect  traces  a  line  on  it,  (s)he  virtually  splits this milieu into two distinct impermeable parts, and actualizes it through the line’s embodiment, the wall. The Funambulist, also known as a tight rope walker, is the character who, somehow, subverts this power by walking on the line. She is the frail figure moving along the lines between the two towers in 1974. She is the person doing the ‘V’ with her fingers while standing on the edge of the Wall in November, 1989. And, if she happens to fall, she will find a tall Nietzschean char-acter to say that she can die peacefully because she would die from the danger she dedicated her life to.
Relative enlargement of the medial preoptic nucleus in the Etruscan shrew, the smallest torpid mammal

description: Endothermy is a key feature of mammalian biology and enables mammals to maintain stable body temperature and homeostatic functions in the face of a rapidly changing environment. However, when faced with harsh environmental conditions, certain mammalian species enter torpor, a state characterized by reduced metabolism, body temperature, and activity, to minimize energy loss. Etruscan shrews are the smallest mammals, with a surface-to-volume ratio that is very unfavorable for endothermic animals. As a result, Etruscan shrews have an extremely high metabolic rate and are known to enter torpor frequently, presumably as an energy-saving measure. Despite the recent identification of medial preoptic area (MPA) as a key brain region to regulate torpor in mouse, little is known about neural control of torpor in other endothermic animals, including the Etruscan shrew. Here, we confirmed that Etruscan shrews readily enter torpor even in the absence of strong physiological triggers. We then compared the medial preoptic nucleus (MPN) within the MPA of Etruscan shrew and rat, a mammal that does not enter torpor under physiological conditions. While rats have roughly 100 times the body weight and 33 times the brain weight of Etruscan shrews, we find that the male rat MPN exhibits only 6.7 times the volume of that of the male Etruscan shrew. Accordingly, the relative brain volume of the MPN was 6.5-fold larger in shrews, a highly significant difference. Moreover, MPN neuron counts were only roughly twofold lower in shrews than in rats, an astonishing observation considering the interspecies size difference and that neocortical neurons are ~ 20 × more numerous in rats than in shrews. We suggest that the extraordinary enlargement of the Etruscan shrew MPN is a specialization for orchestrating torpor in a mammal with an exceptional metabolism.
Entropy, Law, and Funambulism

description: This  piece  is  more  reminiscent  of  a  stream  of  consciousness  than  a  discussion  on  entropy,  analogising  the  intriguing  applicability  of  thermodynamism in relation to understandings of law, lines, and ex-tant  resistances.  To  speak  of  exerted  energy,  that  which  is  wasted  in  the  machinations  of  a  seemingly  closed  system,  is  prescient  in  a time of disruption and apoplexia. Beyond the aesthetic nerve that enticed the writing of this piece on entropy, there are legal and politi-cal analogies and extant anxieties that lend an overwhelming famil-iarity to this encounter with thermodynamic processes. Entropy is a measurement,  a  method  of  quantifying  energy  that  is  available  for  unuseful work within a thermodynamic process.  Without involving the  reader  entirely  with  the  science  or  statistical  mechanics  of  en-tropy (and within the bounds of what this non-scientific author knows of the phenomenon), entropy is an accumulated inefficient resource that  gathers  as  a  machine  or  engine  has  reached  its  ‘theoretical  maximum efficiency,’ the energy thus having to be exorcised, or ‘dis-sipated’ in the form of waste heat.

description: We study the compactness in $L^{1}_{loc}$ of the semigroup mapping $(S_t)_{t > 0}$ defining entropy weak solutions of general hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension. We establish a lower estimate for the Kolmogorov $\varepsilon$-entropy of the image through the mapping $S_t$ of bounded sets in $L^{1}\cap L^\infty$, which is of the same order $1/\varepsilon$ as the ones established by the authors for scalar conservation laws. We also provide an upper estimate of order $1/\varepsilon$ for the Kolmogorov $\varepsilon$-entropy of such sets in the case of Temple systems with genuinely nonlinear characteristic families, that extends the same type of estimate derived by De Lellis and Golse for scalar conservation laws with convex flux. As suggested by Lax, these quantitative compactness estimates could provide a measure of the order of "resolution" of the numerical methods implemented for these equations.

The Clear-Blurry Line
Creators: name: Pascual, Daniel Fernández
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2013

description: Harvesting energy from the centre of the Earth, squeezing drinking water from maritime fogs, grabbing atmospheric pollution or discov-ering  treasures  from  sunken  ships  could  soon  become  sources  of  wealth for today’s nation-states. But to whom do all these resources lawfully belong to? The physical boundaries of a country extend far beyond  a  two-dimensional  geographical  border.  Surrounding  the  ground  surface,  three  areas  of  sovereignty  -  waters,  airspace  and  underground  –  together  with  their  three  dynamic  limits  articulate  these clear-blurry lines. Where does the sovereignty of a nation-state actually end? How is that line drawn? Their demarcation is tightly linked to circulation of capital and economic resources. Regulations struggle to define clear lines that reality blurs. We are uncertain how to locate them accurtely. How to demarcate spatial rights on the sea, the clouds and the magma? The logic of modern sovereignty over natural  resources  of  a  territory  is  being  inverted.  The  notion  of  col-lective  natural  resources  supersedes  and  reshapes  current  system  of sovereignty. We experience more and more a shift from the flat nation-state towards four-dimensional complexities. How does criti-cal spatial practice operate within this frame?

description: In this paper, four distinct approaches to Volume of Fluid (VOF) computational method are compared. Two of the methods are the 'simplified' VOF formulations, in that they do not require geometrical interface reconstruction. The assessment is made possible by implementing all four approaches into the same code as a switchable options. This allows to rule out possible influence of other parts of numerical scheme, be it the discretisation of Navier-Stokes equations or chosen approximation of curvature, so that we are left with conclusive arguments because only one factor differs the compared methods. The comparison is done in the framework of CLSVOF (Coupled Level Set Volume of Fluid), so that all four methods are coupled with Level Set interface, which is used to compute pressure jump via the GFM (Ghost-Fluid Method). Results presented include static advections, full N-S solutions in laminar and turbulent flows. The paper is aimed at research groups who are implementing VOF methods in their computations or intend to do it, and might consider a simplified approach as a preliminary measure, since the methods presented differ greatly in complication level, or ease of implementation expressed e.g. in number of code lines.
