RE:PRINT edited by Véronique Chance and Duncan Ganley, brings together the work of twenty contemporary artists working in the field of expanded printmaking, to explore the relationship between print media, interdisciplinary art and new technologies. A hybrid of art object, book, physical and electronic form, RE:PRINT addresses concerns of reproducibility, technical developments and inter-medial approaches in contemporary art. Through an interplay of image and text from a diverse range of practitioners, RE:PRINT critically rethinks the notion of ‘print’ as both artwork and published multiple and debates what is print in the twenty first century. RE:PRINT includes work by: Jo Stockham, Jo Love, Steve Lovett, Rob Smith, Asim, Véronique Chance, Susana Gómez Larrañaga, Kelcy Davenport, Nerma Cridge, Fay Hoolahan, Richard Kearns, Annis Fitzhugh, James Hutchinson, Monique Jansen, Duncan Ganley, Mark Shaw, Nick Devison, Mark Graver, Meg Rahaim and Emily Godden.

Forecasting banknotes
No full textA central bank’s liquidity forecast is important in ensuring that it supplies the banking system’s need for central bank money. Banknote (or currency in circulation) demand is the largest and for some central banks the most variable component of the liquidity forecast. Accurate forecasting of banknotes is essential in ensuring an accurate liquidity forecast and in turn effective monetary policy implementation. This Handbook discusses these issues and outlines a structural time series state space (STSSS) model which is now used by central banks including the Bank of England and ECB to forecast banknotes (currency in circulation).Forecasting banknotes

Photocatalytic Alkene Hydroamination: Reaction Development and Asymmetric Catalysis
No full textAlkene hydroamination, or the addition of an N–H bond across a C–C bond, is a reaction of particular significance in organic synthesis. Though important advances have been made, numerous challenges remain with respect to regioselectivity, enantioselectivity, and scope of amenable amine coupling partners. While the majority of hydroamination reactions leverage transition metal catalysis and polar reaction mechanisms, photocatalysis has enabled the mild generation of electrophilic N-centered radicals that readily engage with nucleophilic alkenes in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. This dissertation describes several advances in this reactivity framework. Either direct electron transfer (ET) or proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) with an Ir(III) photocatalyst generates an electrophilic N-centered radical and reduced Ir(II) catalyst. Addition of this species to an electron rich alkene furnishes a new C-centered radical. Polarity-matched H-atom transfer (HAT) from a thiol co-catalyst generates the closed shell product. Finally, ET between the thiyl radical and Ir(II) followed by protonation of the thiolate turns over the respective catalytic components.
In Chapter 2, a method for the intermolecular, anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of alkenes with primary alkylamines is described. Despite the presence of excess olefin, excellent selectivity for the monoalkylated secondary amine is observed. In Chapter 3, the synthesis of ammonium functionalized polyethylene is significantly streamlined by developing a scalable hydroamination of cyclooctadiene with piperidine. Following in situ quaternization, ring-opening metathesis, and hydrogenation, the resultant polymers display excellent hydroxide conductivity and stability. Chapter 4 describes the development of a cysteine peptide catalyst capable of undergoing asymmetric HAT with a prochiral trisubstituted radical in the context of an alkene hydroamination with sulfonamides. Preliminary scope and mechanistic studies underscore the non-covalent interactions that govern substrate recognition and enantioselective delivery of H•

Central Weak Nucleus Semifields
No full textUsing results of S. D. Cohen and the author, we characterize certain infinite families of finite semifields. This yields several infinite families of finite projective planes, all of which have order a power of 3, and which appear to be previously unknown
Communications and information resources in Canada
No full textThe author details Canada's efforts to maintain unity and national economic and cultural identity through its communication and information resources. The country's dependence on the USA is stressed. Computer communications, broadcasting and publishing industries, telephone and satellite communications, and research and development are covered and several Canadian innovations are introduced. It is concluded that, with appropriate action, Canadian communications and information resources could be used to strengthen national sovereignty.
Small Satellite Standards Development
No full textThe Air Force Research Laboratory, in conjunction with numerous government, academic, professional organizations and industry, is initiating the development of a set of small satellite standards. It is envisioned that these standards will encompass standard launch vehicle mechanical and electrical interfaces, as well as inter-satellite mechanical, electrical and software interfaces. The procedure that is being followed in the standards development process is to engage the stakeholders in the small satellite community in a dialogue to determine which, if any, of the above standards can be implemented in the near term. Those standards would then be included in relevant future solicitations from the participating Government agencies through Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and other contract vehicles. The author believes that small satellites represent a potential disruptive technology in the aerospace industry. However, the disruptive nature of small satellites lies in their ability to be simpler, cheaper and more modular than larger spacecraft. In order to achieve modularity, a set of small satellite standards needs to be developed and employed. This paper will assess the critical path to standards development, including past examples, as well as progress to date in the development of a set of small satellite standards
