The imaginary menagerie
No full text20 minutesThe Imaginary Menagery was a large scale intermedia work that was commissioned for the opening of the 2008 Adelaide Festival of Arts. Featuring experimental electro-acoustic band Hidden City with additional members from the Zephyr String Quartet , the work combined Artificial Intelligence with free improvisation. Samples and pre-composed score fragments for the string players were triggered across a wireless network of 5 computers in response to the improvisations of saxophonist Derek Pascoe. The projections that freatured on the walls of the hall throughout each set were generated through a combination of data mining and Game Theory using MaxMSP & Jitter. These utilised the same algorithms as the interactive software used in the performance.Performers included Luke Harrald (interactive electronics & video projections), Derek Pascoe (Saxophone), Lauren Sutter (Commodore 64), Sebastian Tomczak (Laptop / Albeton Live), Stephen Whittington (Piano), Emily Tulloch (violin), Karen De Nardi (viola) and Hillary Kleinig (cello

Making Modernity: From the Mashriq to the Maghreb
No full textMaking Modernity from the Mashriq to the Maghreb continues the slow work begun by critical scholars to re-imagine the region in its full complexity. It challenges the counterproductive excesses of Western engagement, the self interested Machiavellianism of international politics, and the xenophobic prejudices of much mainstream culture. In the current political climate, where images of destruction and mayhem prevail, the task of critical engagement in the Middle East and North Africa is evermore crucial. Making Modernity From the Mashriq to the Maghreb directly addresses that task

The effect of bond-line thickness on fatigue crack growth rate in adhesively bonded joints
No full textThe effect of adhesive thickness on fatigue crack growth in an epoxy film adhesive (FM94) was investigated, using a combination of experiments and numerical modelling. For the range of thicknesses investigated an increased thickness led to an increased crack growth rate. It was found that the energy required per unit of crack growth did not depend on the adhesive thickness. In contrast, the energy available for crack growth does depend on the adhesive thickness. The numerical analysis confirms that the energy required per unit crack growth is not sensitive to the adhesive thickness, but that the plastic energy dissipation increases with the thickness. The experimental results imply that this increase of plasticity has an anti-shielding effect, as the crack growth rate is increased.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Structural Integrity & Composite

Dark Emu Black Seeds : Agriculture Or Accident?
No full textDark Emu argues for a reconsideration of the 'hunter-gatherer' tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians and attempts to rebut the colonial myths that have worked to justify dispossession. Accomplished author Bruce Pascoe provides compelling evidence from the diaries of early explorers that suggests that systems of food production and land management have been blatantly understated in modern retellings of early Aboriginal history, and that a new look at Australia’s past is require

Male: length: 8.8–10.3 mm, humeral width: 2.6–3.1 mm. Female: length: 11.3–13.4 mm, humeral width: 3.6–4.3 mm. Both male and female with simple claws. Male genitalia (Figures 15–16) Tegmen length about 2.6 mm; lateral lobes long and slender, each about 1.0 mm long and less than 0.1 mm wide, apex covered with short, reddish brown setae; basal piece bifurcated distally; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, shorter than tegmen (11:13); the median struts about 2/3 of the whole median lobe in length; dorsal plate subequal to ventral plate; ventral edge of median orifice round; median foramen hardly elongated; internal sac 2 times longer than combined length of median lobe and median struts, with 2 pairs of basal armature and 4 rods; each rod about 1.0 mm, shorter than half of tegmen. Tergite VIII trapeziform, apex truncated, with short setae. Length of ventrite IX subequal to ringed part of tegmen. Female genitalia (Figures 17–18) Spermatheca rounded, with a moderately long and curved stem at its base. Spermathecal gland originating from a distinctly sclerotised ringed plate (Figure 17). Tignum much longer than abdomen. Tignum 8.8 mm for an adult with a 5.3 mm long abdomen in ventral view. Diagnosis Glenea pulchella differs from G. vellayaniensis sp. nov. by colour and haired maculae in the following body regions: (1) scape and antennomere II dark brown to black (vs scape and antennomere II reddish brown in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (2) sublateral macula on pronotum made up of yellow hairs with straight inner margin (vs sublateral macula on pronotum made of yellow hairs intermixed with creamy white hairs with proximally concave inner margin in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (3) basal elytral yellow-haired maculae semicircular (vs basal elytral yellow-haired maculae bean-shaped in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (4) middle elytral yellow-haired maculae oval, without small spots posteriorly (vs median maculae on elytra transversely oval with small spots posteriorly in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (5) elytral apex not covered by yellow hairs, but last maculae located before apex (vs elytral apex covered with yellow haired maculae in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.). Distribution Malaysia, Singapore. Remarks Pascoe (1866: 260) wrote ‘I have altered the specific name pulchella, it having been previously used by Hope’. And Pascoe gave the species the new name ‘ Glenea vesta ’. Pascoe (1867: 370) wrote ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope, sec. J. Thomson, Ess. & c., p. 58’ from Sarawak. We checked page 58 of Thomson (1857) and found nothing related to ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope’; then we checked page 58 of Thomson (1860), and there it was written ‘ Glenea pulchella, Hope Syn.: G. conspuncta, Melly’. However, ‘Hope’s species was not described before 1860’ (Aurivillius 1926: 111). ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope’ described by Pascoe (1867) was renamed Glenea pascoei Aurivillius, 1923, while ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope’ described by Thomson (1860) from Sylhet was renamed Glenea pulchra Aurivillius, 1926. Glenea pulchella Pascoe, 1858 is the earliest name, and therefore the new name ‘ Glenea vesta ’ is not required. Breuning (1956a) treated G. vestalis Heller, 1934 as a morph and described several morphs (infrasubspecific). However, his ‘morphs’ are good species. Mukhopadhyay and Biswas (2000) reported the distribution range of G. pulchella as India: Meghalaya, Bangladesh, Burma; while Mitra et al. (2016) mentioned India: Karnataka, Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal. These distribution records are not reliable, based on neither specimens nor trustable identifications. The first author inquired for supportive material from the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), Kolkata; however, there are no specimens of G . pulchella in the collection. The known localities of this species are, to our knowledge, limited to Malaysia and Singapore.Published as part of Hiremath, Sangamesh R. & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2021, Description of two new species of Glenea Newman, 1842 from southern India and reinstatement of Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 205-245 in Journal of Natural History 55 (3 - 4) on pages 217-221, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2021.1900442, http://zenodo.org/record/547373

Type species: Carterica cinctipennis Pascoe, 1858 (monotypy). Redescription. Body not flattened; head hypognathous; frons elongate; antennal tubercles somewhat elevated, in frontal view, their inner margins together distinctly V-shaped; antennae distinctly longer than body, in male, surpassing elytral apex by about 6.5 segments, in female by about 6 segments; scape and antennomere III with sericeous pubescence; antennomere III not widened; antennomere IV about as long as III; prothorax with rounded protuberance near base, slightly narrower distally than basally; prosternal process narrowed centrally, but not laminiform (narrowest width about 1/5 of procoxal cavity); mesoventral process slightly narrower than mesocoxal cavity in male, about as wide as mesocoxal cavity in female; elytra almost parallel-sided on basal 2/3, slightly narrowed at distal third, with distinct spine at outer distal apex, rounded toward unarmed sutural angle; elytra with humeral carina distinct on basal 2/3; epipleuron vertical on basal third, gradually oblique and distinctly visible in dorsal view along humeral carina; elytra with sparse erect setae; elytral dorsal surface with two longitudinal carinae, gradually becoming inconspicuous toward apex (less distinct in base, especially outermost); femora slightly pedunculate-clavate; metatarsomere I longer than II–V together in male, about as long in female; last abdominal segment in male (Fig. 6) gradually narrowed toward apex, outer margins straight, with distal margin of ventrite V concave (outer angles rounded); last abdominal segment in female (Fig. 9) tubuliform for more than half of distal length, in some cases surpassing the elytral apex. Remarks. The type species of Carterica has been mentioned as being established by Thomson (1864) (e.g. Monné 2017). However, the genus was created based on a single species, C. cinctipennis, as correctly pointed out by Monné (2012). Pascoe (1858) only suggested the possibility of Saperda mucronata Olivier, 1795 belonging to this genus. Thus, Thomson (1864) cannot be considered as author of the designation of the type species. Carterica differs from Batesparna gen. nov., Miguellus gen. nov., Francisparna gen. nov., Allocarterica gen. nov., and Piriana gen. nov., by the humeral carina present only in basal 2/3, with the epipleuron notably visible in dorsal view toward apex. In the new genera mentioned above and described in this work, the humeral carina reaches or almost reaches the apex, and the epipleuron is, at most, slightly distinct in dorsal view near apex. Species included: Carterica mucronata (Figs 5 –9).Published as part of Santos-Silva, Antonio, Galileo, Maria Helena M. & Mcclarin, Jim, 2018, Division of the genera Sparna Thomson, 1864 and Carterica Pascoe, 1858 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Colobotheini) with description of six new genera and eight new species, pp. 1-28 in Zootaxa 4407 (1) on page 4, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4407.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/121642
