Elements of Abstraction: Space, Line and Interval in Modern British Art
No full textThe book is the catalogue of the exhibition Elements of Abstraction: Space, Line and Interval in Modern British Art, which the author curated from the collections of the Tate Gallery, London, the Arts Council, London, Southampton City Art Gallery and private collections. The author provided three essays, 'The Geometry of Modern British Art', 'West Country Constructivism', and 'Abstract Art and the Decline of Modernism' to advance critical histories of three distinct moments of importance in the development of British abstract art. A fourth, edited by him, was by a research student under his supervision (Alan Fowler) and covered Systems Art and Constructionism
Zuata nolckeni Fowler
No full textZuata nolckeni (Fowler), redefined. Monecphora nolckeni Fowler, 1896: 105 (to Zuata: Fennah, 1968) Tomaspisinella pseudoripuaris Lallemand, 1939: 58, syn.nov. Tomaspisinella ripuaris Lallemand, 1938: 139, syn.nov. Remarks. The male type is 7 mm long and the female types are 8–9 mm long; association of the yellow-banded female types of Z. nolckeni and Z. ripuaris with the orange-banded male type of Z. pseudoripuaris is based on the degree of sexual dimorphism evident in Z. oneraria (Jacobi), below. The types of nolckeni and pseudoripuaris both come from Colombia, but that of ripuaris purportedly comes from Paraguay. It will take additional material to determine whether these taxa are indeed the same species.Published as part of Andrew Hamilton, K.

Neaenus Fowler
No full textNeaenus Fowler Type-species: N. varius Fowler, 1897, hitherto the only included species. Diagnosis. Male pregenital segment wider than genital segment, with lateral lobes more or less projecting caudad across base of genital capsule (Figs 46–48 A; Carvalho & Webb 2005, fig. 6). Description. Antennae (Figs 20–23 C) similar to those of Microsarganini or with a second, narrower bladeshaped sensillum projecting from base of arista (Fig. 23 D–F). Remarks. The original description (Fowler 1897) mentions only characters that appear “to form a transition between the Cercopinae and the Ptyelinae” [=Aphrophorinae], namely, “eyes nearly round” (Cercopinae) and pronotum “gently rounded in front and slightly produced between the eyes” (Aphrophorinae). The lateral margins of the pronotum are no longer than the compound eyes, and may be slightly shorter, as in Aphrophorinae. Included species. The type-species, illustrated by Lallemand (1912, pl. 4, fig. 8) as “ Tomaspis ephippiata Bredd. ” (a member of Zuata, see Fig. 13 G), and four new species with distinctive male genitalia, described below. Both styles and theca show major differences among the species, and 2 species in this well-defined genus have unique venation, but barcoding and synapomorphies show that they belong to a subgenus rather than to a separate genus. There is an additional unassociated female from Mexico (Fig. 10 C) that is weakly differentiated by its tegminal pattern and barcodes as yet another separate species, but it is not described here pending discovery of the male. Distribution. Central America.Published as part of Andrew Hamilton, K.

Open discussion at the IGS symposium on ‘The edges of glaciology’, 7 July 2023
No full textThere follows the open discussion which took place at the IGS symposium on ‘The Edges of Glaciology’, in July 2023. The discussion was curated by Doug Benn. The time of speaking in minutes and seconds into the Panopto recording is given in bold figures. The recording itself is provided as electronic supplementary material. It has been transcribed and edited by Andrew Fowler, with much (and much-needed) assistance from the participants. Footnotes (mostly references) are editorial intrusions

Network development in biological gels: role in lymphatic vessel development
No full textIn this paper, we present a model that explains the prepatterning of lymphatic vessel morphology in collagen gels. This model is derived using the theory of two phase rubber material due to Flory and coworkers and it consists of two coupled fourth order partial differential equations describing the evolution of the collagen volume fraction, and the evolution of the proton concentration in a collagen implant; as described in experiments of Boardman and Swartz (Circ. Res. 92, 801–808, 2003). Using linear stability analysis, we find that above a critical level of proton concentration, spatial patterns form due to small perturbations in the initially uniform steady state. Using a long wavelength reduction, we can reduce the two coupled partial differential equations to one fourth order equation that is very similar to the Cahn–Hilliard equation; however, it has more complex nonlinearities and degeneracies. We present the results of numerical simulations and discuss the biological implications of our model
