The subtitle of this essay echoes the title of David E. James’s book The Most Typical Avant-Garde, which makes the claim that the various minor cinemas of Los Angeles (amateur, immigrant, artists’ etc.) constitute the most distinctive avant-garde “on behalf of cultural practices that are commonly supposed not to even have existed”. The heterogeneous Swedish avant-garde scene has definitely been co
At the onset of the pandemic, Brazil’s Federal government approved an emergency basic income to be transferred to a variety of groups that had not earlier received any of the established welfare programs. Its implementation was however riddled with challenges. With a large informal economy, many Brazilian citizens were missing from the Federal Government’s registry and, even if registered, many di
Recent technologies of district heating and cooling (DHC) systems integrate renewable energy sources and connect multiple heat producers and consumers to the same network. The resulting interactions may therefore cause the fluid in the pipe, or the energy carried by the system, to flow in both directions. This article presents a newly developed analytical method for evaluating the hydraulic states
Low-dimensional topological states have transformed our understanding of charge transportation through quantum materials. Many relevant observations have been connected to bismuth (Bi) containing materials or ultrathin Bi films. Here, we studied sub-monolayer amounts of Bi deposition on the In-terminated InSb(111)A surface using various complementary surface science techniques. Bi deposition at el
An accurate and variationally consistent 4-node quadrilateral element is introduced where high coarse mesh accuracy and low mesh distortion sensitivity are characteristic qualities, even when incompressibility is approached for plane strain. One-point quadrature integration procedure is adopted and a new improved stabilization technique is developed. Orthogonality conditions are utilized so that t
At the age of 33 and mother of seven children (the husband a shawowy figure), Mrs Grönvall started a small but soon renowed hand book bindery in the town of Malmö in Southern Sweden in 1893. Mostly self-taught herself, through the years she housed and trained several apprentices and journeyman of wich some opened binderies of their own. At the Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Malmö 1907 she was award
Phytase (EC 3.1.3.-) hydrolyzes phytate (IP6) present in cereals and grains to release inorganic phosphate (Pi), thereby making it bioavailable. The most commonly used method to assay phytase, developed nearly a century ago, measures the Pi liberated from IP6. This traditional end point assay is time consuming and well known for its cumbersomeness in addition to requiring extra caution for handlin
This chapter is a feminist and queer theoretical discussion of Lucy Maud Montgomery's literary production, with an emphasis on the Emily-series from the early 20th century.
