Searching for the beasts in the archive as methodological praxis
This article offers searching for the beasts in the archive as a methodological tool available to researchers invested in both anticolonialism and antianthropocentrism. By focusing on three basic units of reference—categories, histories, and borders—the article shows how searching for the beasts unsettles some taken‐for‐granted assumptions that ...

Cosmological Constant or Cosmological Potential
In the framework of a model of minimal of dilatonic gravity (MDG) with cosmological potential we consider: the relations of MDG with nonlinear gravity and string theory; natural cosmological units, defined by cosmological constant; the properties of cosmological factor, derived from solar system and Earth-surface gravitational experiments; universal ...

Cultural geography of heat: Artistic experiments with heat’s animacies
A sustained, cultural geographical engagement with heat is long overdue. I advance this agenda by engaging with the work of contemporary artists. Artists are responding to uneven conditions of global heating by exploring heat’s animacies: how heat interweaves with the practices and textures of life.

VALUE OF THE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT Ʌ FROM THE COSMOLOGICAL EQUATIONS OF THE UNIVERSE. CONNECTION OF THE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT Ʌ WITH FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL CONSTANTS. [PDF]
A mathematical method for obtaining the value of the cosmological constant Ʌ from the cosmological equations of the Universe has been found. The method is based on the revealed connection of the cosmological constant Ʌ with fundamental physical constants.

Abstract Chronological studies of glacial sediments from the Shishapangma and Yarlung Tsangpo River valley indicate that Quaternary glaciation on the southern Tibetan Plateau commenced at ∼0.75–0.83 Ma. However, the oldest glacial deposits in the northern plateau are dated to only ∼0.46 Ma, markedly later than the Middle Pleistocene glacial ...

Global Cooling Driving the Increase in Erosion Rates Across the Himalaya Since the Quaternary
Abstract Late Cenozoic global cooling is well documented, yet its impact on erosion rates in active mountain belts, particularly after the onset of Quaternary glaciation, remain contentious. This ambiguity partially stems from the potential methodological biases in erosion rate quantification, particularly in the Himalaya, where recent studies report ...

Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.
