Seahorses, grids and calypso : Richard Hamilton's exhibition-making in the 1950s
No full textOne of the most influential British artists of the 20th century, Richard Hamilton (1922-2011) is widely regarded as a founding figure of pop art, who continued to experiment and innovate over a career of 60 years. This publication presents the first retrospective to encompass the full scope of Hamilton's work, from his early exhibition designs of the 1950s to his final paintings of 2011, exploring his relationship to design, painting, photography and television, as well as his engagement and collaborations with other artists. Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at Tate Modern, London, February 13-May 26, 2014, and at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, June 24-October 13, 2014
The twisting Sato-Tate group of the curve
No full textWe determine the twisting Sato–Tate group of the genus 3 hyperelliptic curve and show that all possible subgroups of the twisting Sato–Tate group arise as the Sato–Tate group of an explicit twist of . Furthermore, we prove the generalized Sato–Tate conjecture for the Jacobians of all Q-twists of the curve

Impacts of irrigation and hydroelectric power developments on the Victoria Nile in Uganda
No full textThis research aimed at increasing the understanding of the water resources of
the Victoria Nile basin and assessing the impact of irrigation and hydropower
developments on the Victoria Nile under different rainfall regimes. A Bayesian
Network constructed with the HUGIN expert researcher software version 6.9 was
used as the decision tool. The Network used a mixture of data, information from
previous studies and consultation with experts/stakeholders. A network consisting
of 21 nodes was developed and run to determine the impacts of different
development scenarios.
The Victoria Nile basin in Uganda is the first recipient of the river Nile flow as it
leaves Lake Victoria. In this basin, there is potential for 5 large hydroelectric
power plants and the basin consists of 70% of the irrigation potential in Uganda
and yet it is one of the most lacking in hydrological data in the Nile basin. Further
downstream of this basin are two riparian states, Egypt and Sudan which
according to the prevailing legislation on the use of the Nile share amongst
themselves the entire river flow.
The research shows that Irrigation and hydropower developments have modest
effects on lake levels and river flows exiting the basin. Rainfall occurrence on the
other hand has the largest effect on the lake levels and Victoria Nile river flow
exiting the basin. It is shown that in situations of very high water demand, which
occurs when annual rainfall is less than 1,200 mm, full irrigation potential is
utilized and all 5 hydroelectric power plants are developed, irrigation water need
is not more than 7% of the Nile flow from the basin. The effects of hydropower
plants are manifested mainly in the socioeconomic impacts in their vicinity, which
are found to be large and to increase with the number of plants developed. The
current mode of operation of outflows from Lake Victoria which is based on an
international agreement between Uganda and Egypt is a satisfactory means of
control only during moderate rainfall events and lake levels. However, for
extreme conditions of lake levels outside the range of 10.8-11.6 m it is
inadequate under increasing demands of hydroelectric power generation

Rurality and Minimal Architecture: An Inquiry into the Genealogy of Tate Modern’s Bankside Gallery Spaces
No full textWhen the Tate institution first announced its plans to build a ‘Tate Modern’ gallery on London’s Bankside it stated its preferences for a ‘rural’ and ‘minimal’ architecture. These are contested terms whose significance for the resultant contemporary art space is by no means apparent. Focusing on the suites of gallery-rooms built on levels 2, 3 & 4, as part of the initial power station transformation, which opened to the public in 2000, this paper will examine the notions of rurality and minimal architecture that underpin the contemporary art space. It will weave their genealogy out of three themes: First, the Tate’s stated interest in the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk as a potential model for the new gallery. Second, the influence of the artist Rémy Zaugg, who had worked with Tate’s architects for the project, Herzog and de Meuron, on a number of studio-gallery projects prior to the Tate commission. Third, the modernist tradition of the ‘white cube’ and its post-modern critique dating from the mid 1970s
