Memory’s Seams: Scarcity and Preciousness in Earth Pigments by Eugenia Kisin

“…During the Second World War, the material was mined for its coal-like properties to conceal tanks and ships, while its intense color and oily texture coated eyelashes in Max Factor’s first commercial mascara until it was replaced by blacker polymers—an ambivalent form of synthetic mimicry and that displaces mining by way of plastics. …”

Shipwreck Architecture by Simon Weir, Sara Rich

“…This trajectory of ideas is then projected into a creative project: a speculative history of shipwreck architecture where the cutting edge of biological research is projected into a technological future when the distant aims of today’s technology are ancient history: when the first generations of grown buildings are preserved as ruins, when giant decommissioned carbon-capture factories drift like ghost ships across lakes of their inky waste, when people remember when shipwrecks caused by the hazards of rising sea levels were later exposed by sinking sea levels and converted into hotels and theatres, and finally, when these theatrical memories provoke such nostalgia that shipwreck architecture would be replicated and fabricated. …”

Syndicalisme maritime. Organisations et mobilisations des marins de commerce en France, 19e-21e siècles by Ronan Viaud

“…Another scale of struggle, a global one, appeared with the reduction of the French merchant fleet in the aftermath of decolonization and the development of ships under flags of convenience. The need for transnational trade union organizations to improve the working conditions, safety and employment of seafarers, without distinction of nationality, became glaringly obvious and remains relevant today…”

Application of time-aware retransmission against reflection signal interferences in Internet of things by Han LUO, Yuhong LIU, Hongguang ZHANG, Chong ZHANG, Yuan’an LIU

“…In the enclosed spaces,wireless transmissions lead to the strong interferences of reflection signals,because of multipath effects.However,how to reduce the reflection signal effect on wireless transmissions is a kernel problem to expand the application scope of Internet of things.The time-aware retransmission MAC (TR-MAC) was proposed,which can adjust the time delay of each frame and reduce the interference caused by the reflected signal by using the reflection loss of the space conductor surface.In order to prove the adaptability of TR-MAC,an experimental environment that can generate strong reflection interference signals was used.The experimental results proved the feasibility and effectiveness of the TR-MAC in different environments.In a sense,TR-MAC extends the application of wireless communication in strongly reflective space.Besides,in the application of the Internet of things in the aircraft,ship and satellite,TR-MAC can realize wireless transmission instead of part of the wired transmission,so as to improve the system reliability,effective weight reduction and other important goals.…”

Hidden monopole dark matter via axion portal and its implications for direct detection searches, beam-dump experiments, and the H0 tension by Ryuji Daido, Shu-Yu Ho, Fuminobu Takahashi

“…We find two parameter regions around ma = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (10) MeV, fa = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (105) GeV and ma = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (100) MeV, fa = O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (104) GeV where monopole dark matter and the axion are respectively within the reach of the future experiments such as PICO-500 and SHiP. We also note that the hidden photons mainly produced by the axion decay contribute to dark radiation with ∆Neff ≃ 0.6 which can relax the H0 tension.…”

A transmission technology of environmental monitoring for ocean based on over-the-horizon skywave by Guojun LI, Xiaofei XU, Changrong YE, Deping ZHANG, Lu TAN, Yakun XING

“…In view of the serious limitation of local resource supply for remote island and reef and the lack of low cost,high reliability long-distance transmission methods for environmental monitoring,relying on the mobile communication base stations widely distributed on the land,an over-the-horizon(OTH) skywave access network based on wide-area cooperative reception was proposed.The problems of channel fading,link asymmetry and spectrum congestion faced by remote island and reef environments monitoring for an OTH skywave transmission were solved from three aspects:physical layer,network layer and perceptive layer.The simulation results of the lower link transmission waveform and the multi-channel fusion algorithm in the typical skywave channel environment show that the reliable access of low-power transceiver in the remote island and reef within a range of 3 000 km could be guaranteed only through the cooperative reception of three access nodes.There was also some reference to monitoring of national ocean-going ships and border defence traffic pass monitoring.…”
