Refusing the Referendum: Queer Latino Masculinities and Utopian Citizenship in Justin Torres’ We the Animals by Marion Christina Rohrleitner

“…Supreme Court decision of June 26, 2015, which ruled the ban on same-sex unions unconstitutional, created, for the first time, equal marriage rights for same-sex couples in all states, thus changing the civic status of members of the LGBTQ community in important ways, ranging from visitation rights to inheritance law. Justin Torres’s 2011 debut novel We the Animals performs Puerto Rican queer masculinity at the precise moment when the first formal challenges to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), as expressed by then Attorney General Eric Holder, intersect with growing and increasingly aggressive hostility towards Latinx in the United States regardless of their legal status, and when Puerto Ricans on the island continue to be second class citizens ineligible, for example, to participate in presidential elections. …”

Humidity dependence of AE activity in sheared quartz gouges and its implication for the micromechanics of friction by Yasuo Yabe

“…The frictional behavior is modeled by the rate- and state-dependent friction (RSF) law with two state variables. Shorter critical slip distances of the state evolution would be about the contact junction size, while longer critical slip distances are close to the average diameter of gouge particles. …”

Reflexión sobre el marco normativo internacional vigente para erradicar las violencias basadas en género en Colombia y pertinencia de un nuevo convenio internacional by Maria Alejandra Ortiz Pinzón

“…De esta forma se cuestionará una propuesta gestada desde el sur global, proveniente de la coalición internacional Ewery Woman Treaty (EWT), que se aleja de la visión mainstream regente caracterizada por mecanismos de control de soft law. Por el contrario, esta alternativa insta a profundizar en la conceptualización de la problemática desde la interseccionalidad, abarcando su complejidad mediante el establecimiento de estándares internacionales homogéneos en tipificación de las VBG e instrumentos de medición, creando una base uniforme para un mecanismo vinculante. …”

Thermal Spectra of Warped and Broken Accretion Disks by J. Speicher, O. Blaes

“…Due to self-irradiation and the projected area of the inclined disk regions, the spectra of inclined disks significantly deviate from multicolor blackbodies and do not follow the multicolor blackbody relation νL _ν  ∝  ν ^γ  =  ν ^4/3 at low frequencies ν . The power-law indices at low frequencies of the inclined disks vary with viewing angle; when viewed face-on, they vary between γ  ≈ 0.91 and 1.26 for the warped disks and γ  ≈ 1.37–1.54 for the broken disks depending on the inclination angle. …”
