Remediating Cambridge: Human and Horse Co-Relationality in a Culture of Mis-Re-Presentation by Francesca A. Brady, Jennifer McDonell

“…Autoethnographic narrative is used to retrospectively and selectively narrate the evolving relationship between Cambridge and his owners, farrier, and treating veterinarians within the dominant housing and veterinary practices and welfare paradigms in equestrian culture of 1990’s Australia. Structured author/owner autoethnographic vignettes are framed by newspaper and internet reportage to highlight a productive tension between the public mediation of the case, and what it means to be fully embodied in relationship with an equine companion agent within a particular, racialised, gendered, and biopoliticised location. …”

Optimization of the Operation of Groundwater Intakes Using Two-Column Wells by V. V. Ivashechkin, J. A. Medvedeva

“…The average number of wells at a typical water intake is 30–40; while the power of the submersible pump is usually 32–40 kW; which means that only at one well water intake the power consumption of electric pumping equipment during the hours of greatest water consumption can reach 900–1600 kW. In the structure of operating costs of well water intakes; the share of electricity costs reaches 85 %. …”
