Postcards from Inside the Practices by Alicia Lazzaroni, Antonio Bernacchi, Enrique Espinosa Pérez, Lydia Maria Arantes, Michele Avis Feder-Nadoff

“… ALICIA LAZZARONI & ANTONIO BERNACCHI The Problem Space We Cohabit: Inter-Methodological Approaches for More-Than-Human Design A shift to an ecological and critical perspective in design calls for a profound methodological restructuring of its disciplines, towards a condition of methodological hybridity and contamination. We propose the notion of ‘exploration space’ to identify a heterogeneous landscape of interacting design process, while making reference to the concepts of ‘inter-disciplinary research’ and ‘problem space’ discussed by Celia Lury. …”

Local Magnetic Activity Index Nowcast Based on Concurrent Measurements at Two Observatories in Close Proximity by Tobias G. W. Verhulst, Stephan Bracke, François Humbled, Stanimir M. Stankov

“…In particular, providing a continuous and reliable local magnetic activity nowcast is of increasing importance as it can be used to generate alerts for various users, for instance for GNSS‐based applications or to protect electric power grids. This study presents a novel nowcast system for calculating a K‐type index of the local magnetic activity in Belgium. …”

Collection Tree Extension of Reactive Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks by Jiazi Yi, Thomas Clausen

“…In 2013, ITU-T has ratified the recommendation G.9903 Amendment 1, which includes LOADng in a specific normative annex for routing protocol in smart grids. The extension uses the mechanisms from LOADng, imposes minimal overhead and complexity, and enables a deployment to efficiently support “sensor-to-root” traffic, avoiding complications of unidirectional links in the collection tree. …”
