Compound Terra Plastik ka Mela: repair, recycling, and restoration: an interactive exhibition of social and environmental works
No full textCompound Terra Plastik ka Mela: Repair, Recycling, and Restoration: an interactive exhibition of social and environmental works from Compound 13 Lab, Maharashtra Nature Park, Dharavi, Mumbai, India, 10th April - 13th April 2023.Participating Artists: Mamoni Chitrakar / Parasher Baruah / Ian Dawson / Graham Jeffery / Subuhi Jiwani / Amol Lalzare / Ben Parry / Abhijeet Patro / Sharmila Samant / Aqui Thami / Rahul KohlCompound 13 Lab is situated close to one of Mumbai’s main recycling hubs, where each week thousands of tons of hard waste are sorted, cleaned, and processed. Tens of thousands of people work in this industry: they make a huge contribution as unrecognised ‘green collar workers’ to cutting the amount of waste that goes to landfill and incineration, and reducing the region’s carbon footprint. Compound 13 Lab, hosted by ACORN India, explores livelihoods and alternative futures, working closely with people engaged in repair and recycling work across the neighbourhood. At the Lab, knowledge and learning is shared through art, design, music, media and citizen science. This exhibition brings together a series of works made by artists, filmmakers and designers who have been collaborating with young people, workers and families from Dharavi over the last six years. Dawson has been collaborating with the Compound 13 Lab for three years and presented his ongoing printing and portrait workshops. At the centre of the space Dawson, Parry and members from the Lab recreated a section of the Carter Road Mangroves to demonstrate the entangled relationships at work within the city. Dawson also exhibited works from his collaboration between the Compound 13 Lab and The Horniman Museum London. Presented by Compound 13 Lab in association with ACORN India, Bath School of Art, Film and Media, Bath Spa University, the Museum for the United Nations’ GLOBAL WE project, and the Protracted Crisis Research Centre at the University of the West of Scotland.

A computational and experimental investigation into the aeroacoustics of low speed flows
No full textThe noise produced by low Mach number (M ? 0.4) laminar and turbulent flows is studied using computational and experimental techniques. The emphasis is on the development and application of numerical methods to further the understanding of noise generation and far field radiation. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the tonal noise radiated by two- and three-dimensional cavities submerged in low-speed turbulent and laminar flows. A numerical approach is developed that combines near field flow computations with an integral radiation model to enable the far field signal to be evaluated without the need to directly resolve the propagation of the acoustic waves to the far field. Two basic geometries are employed in these investigations: a plane rectangular cavity and a rectangular cavity with a lip. Results for the two geometries show good agreement with available experimental data, and highlight the sensitivity of the amplitude and directivity of the radiated sound to geometry, flow speed and the properties of the incoming boundary layer. The cavity with a lip is shown to behave as a Helmholtz resonator. The plane cavities are characterized by the more familiar Rossiter modes. Both geometries are characterized by intense near field oscillations and strong noise radiation. To quantify the effects of three-dimensional phenomena on the generation and radiation of sound, a fully three-dimensional simulation is performed. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved directly using an optimized prefactored compact scheme for spatial discretization. Results are compared with those from a two-dimensional simulation and the effects of the three-dimensional phenomena are discussed. Finally, wind tunnel tests are performed to quantify the effects of geometry and flow speed on the velocity and pressure fields within a plane rectangular cavity. Velocity measurements are made using the Laser Doppler Anemometry and Particle Image Velocimetry techniques. Instantaneous and statistical data are employed to probe the flows. Although coherent vortical structures are found to characterize the shear layer, their intermittent nature prevents self-sustaining oscillations developing and consequently the pressure field is broadband in nature
Autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper speaks at the Michigan Writers Series
No full textIn an appearance at the Michigan State University Main Library, autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper talks about his career at the General Motors Truck and Bus Plant in Flint, Michigan and reads from various works, including his forward to the book "Working words: punching the clock and kicking out the jams" by M. L. Liebler and from his most famous work, "Rivethead", a cynical and humorous view of life in an auto plant. A question and answer session follows. Hamper is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series

Martin Loughlin, Public Law and Political Theory
No full textIn this chapter, Ben Yong discusses Martin Loughlin’s Public Law and Political Theory. Drawing in part on conversation with the author, Yong explores the significance of a book that, despite interrogating the nature of public law as a discipline in a novel and methodologically important way, is often poorly understood
