An Archaeology of Passage: Adrian Piper Passing and Not Passing as the Mythic Being by Cat Dawson

“…One of the most referenced in the oeuvre of the conceptual artist Adrian Piper is an early series called The Mythic Being (1973-1975), based on a series of photographs of the artist in drag. Mythic Being is also, however, one of the most contested projects in the artist’s oeuvre. …”

Initial Moving Mechanism of Densely-Packed Particles Driven by a Planar Shock Wave by Hua Lv, Zhongqi Wang, Yunming Zhang, Jianping Li

“…Due to the particle stress wave, particles successively accelerate and obtain an axial velocity of 6–8 m/s. Then, the blocked gas pushes the upstream particles integrally to move downstream, while the gas flow in the pores drags the downstream particles to separate dramatically and accelerate to the velocity of 60–70 m/s. …”

Impact of Urban Surface Roughness Length Parameterization Scheme on Urban Atmospheric Environment Simulation by Meichun Cao, Zhaohui Lin

“…The increased roughness parameters in the EXP run result in strengthened drag and blocking effects exerted by buildings, which lead to enhanced friction velocity, weakened wind speed in daytime, and boosted turbulent kinetic energy after sunset. …”

La datation des aqueducs lyonnais : un état des lieux by Aldo Borlenghi, Catherine Coquidé

“…The dating of the Gier aqueduct, the longest of the Lyon aqueducts and the only one to supply the highest part of Colline de Fourvière, has long been a very controversial subject.Several scientific contributions have addressed the question, either dating it to the reign of Augustus or to between the reigns of Claudius and Hadrian. This study picks up and analyses all the arguments used to support one or the other of these dates: the link between the remains of the hill’s water supply network under Augustus and the altitude of arrival of the aqueduct; pipes stamped with the TI · CL · CAES · brand found in the 18th century on Colline de Fourvière; the aqueduct’s protective boundary stones bearing the name of Emperor Hadrian; the attested stamps on the bipedal bricks of the arch and bridge piers; the opus reticulatum mixtum construction technique; the fountain at the enclosure of the fountain at the Verbe Incarné enclos and its water supply; radiocarbon and archaeomagnetic dating. …”
