Californie à Paris: Photographic Circulation and the Making of Imperial Identities, c. 1900 by Carolin Görgen

“…This article proposes a case study of the souvenir album Californie: Illustration pour l’Exposition de Paris 1900 with the aim to trace how photographic illustration catered to both Californian promotion in Europe and community-building on the West Coast in a period of emerging US imperialism. Analyzing the sequence of images, their mise-en-scène alongside elaborate descriptions and translations into French and German, the article reconstructs the emergence of a shared narrative of the imagined West, with a specifically “Californian” visual vocabulary. …”

Clar Structure and Fries Set of Fullerenes and (4,6)-Fullerenes on Surfaces by Yang Gao, Heping Zhang

“…Fowler and Pisanski showed that the Fries number for a fullerene on surface Σ is bounded above by |V|/3, and fullerenes which attain this bound are exactly the class of leapfrog fullerenes on surface Σ. We showed that the Clar number of a fullerene on surface Σ is bounded above by (|V|/6)-χ(Σ), where χ(Σ) stands for the Euler characteristic of Σ. …”
