Interview with Michael Welker by Hendrik Van der Westhuizen

“…As Senior Professor and Director of the Research Centre for International and Interdisciplinary Theology at the University of Heidelberg, Welker recently led a project and edited a book (with Michael Beintker and Albert de Lange) on the European Reformation, focusing on forty-eight cities and their Reformers. In light of this project and the five hundred year commemoration of the Reformations, a public lecture was held on the theme The European Reformation: A liberating educational revolution. …”

Short-Term Optimal Scheduling Method of Cascade Hydropower Stations Based on Segmented Load Construction Strategy by LI Chonghao, LI Shushan, TANG Hongbing, LIU Huan, MA Xiangyu, LIAO Shengli

“…With the rapid development of China's economy,electricity demand has increased.As the largest clean energy in China,hydropower has been put into large-scale and centralized production,and the most complex large-scale hydropower system in the world is formed.However,short-term hydropower optimal scheduling faces the serious challenge of the curse of dimensionality due to massive cascade hydropower stations,numerous hydropower constraints,and time-sensitive scheduling requirements.Therefore,this paper proposes a short-term optimal scheduling method for cascade hydropower stations based on a segmented load construction strategy.First,the selection rules of the hydropower stations to be regulated are formulated from the perspective of the regulation performance,location,and task of the cascade hydropower stations.Then,a method is given to divide the complex original load into two sub-load processes,namely the segmented load process with time reduction scale and the residual load process with frequent fluctuations.Finally,the adjustment method is given,and the particle swarm algorithm is used for traversal and optimization at different stages,so as to find the load division process when the target is optimal.By taking seven cascade hydropower stations in a certain river basin in southwest China as research objects,a mature particle swarm algorithm is used to simulate the typical day during the flood and dry periods.The results show that the segmented load construction strategy proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the solution complexity,and the appropriate number of segments can improve the solution efficiency while ensuring the solution quality.In addition,this method greatly reduces the output fluctuation of auxiliary hydropower stations and helps to reduce the difficulty of scheduling and unit loss.Therefore,the method proposed in this paper can provide a reference for solving the short-term scheduling of large-scale cascade hydropower stations and is of good practical value.…”

This is not America: ficção pulp, westerns e policiais no Portugal dos anos 1960 by Ricardo Namora

“… O texto concentrar-se-á na tradição pulp que, tendo o seu período áureo na América do pré-Segunda Guerra Mundial, desagregou-se, já no pós-Guerra, a ponto de autonomizar os géneros fantástico, “western” e policial negro; e na forma como, no Portugal da década de 1960, com todas as suas idiossincrasias políticas, sociais e culturais, Roussado Pinto e Dinis Machado moldaram os clichés genéricos para construírem enredos, e protagonistas, ao mesmo tempo falíveis e maquinais, paroquiais e universais, fotográficos e fílmicos, tornando as suas narrativas simultaneamente em cópias do modelo e em reflexos reconhecíveis da vida quotidiana, em toda a sua inefável e desoladora sordidez. …”
