Characteristics of Territories-in-between by Alexander Wandl, Vincent Nadin, Wil Zonneveld, Remon Rooij

“…The comparison with widely used urban–rural classifications shows that the presented classification of TiB has three advantages: (i) it maps the complexity of the spatial structure of urbanised areas on a regional scale, and thereby helps to overcome the prevalent idea that urbanised regions are characterised by a spatial gradient from urban centre(s) to rural periphery; (ii) it emphasises the network structure of territories-in-between and the underlying connectivity of places with different functions and (iii) it raises awareness that in some parts of Europe a settlement pattern has developed that cannot be understood as either urban or rural. …”

Geometric structure of parameter space in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media by Håkon Pedersen, Alex Hansen

“…In this endeavor, we will encounter two interpretations of the velocities of the fluids: as tangent vectors (derivations) acting on functions or as coordinates on an affine line. The two views are closely related, with the former viewpoint being more useful in relation to the underlying geometrical structure of equilibrium thermodynamics and the latter being more useful in concrete computations and finding examples of constitutive relations. …”
