    Following the success of the nine previous conferences on Gas–Liquid and Gas–Liquid–Solid reactor Engineering which were held at Columbus, OH, USA (1992), Cambridge, UK (1995), Kanagawa, Japan (1997), Delft, The Netherlands (1999), Melbourne, Australia (2001), Vancouver, Canada (2003), Strasbourg, France (2005), New Delhi, India (2007) and Montreal, Canada (2009) the tenth conference with the same theme is being held in Braga, Portugal, from 26 to 29 June 2011. This conference will cover all aspects of multiphase reactors related to progress made in the understanding, performance and operation of these reactors and will bring together scientists and engineers from universities and industry. The involvement of top researchers in Gas–Liquid and Gas–Liquid–Solid Reactor Engineering, the high quality of the papers presented and the line of continuity that has been guaranteed by the leadership of Prof. L.S. Fan of Ohio State University and the other members of the International Scientific Committee has made GLS a leading conference in Chemical Engineering. GLS has been held at regular intervals, every two years and in order to attract professionals across the globe, the venue of the GLS conference is shifted in a thoughtful manner amongst the continents. This conference has become an important meeting point for the exchange of views among scientists and engineers in one of the most important and complex issues in chemical engineering science and practice. The organizing committee is very pleased to be associated with Elsevier to have, as in most of the previous GLS editions, the proceedings of GLS10 published in Chemical Engineering Science (CES). As a result of a strict peer review process aiming at keeping with the highest standards of the journal, the GLS10 CES special issue includes a total of 39 papers, selected from the 150 Abstracts that were submitted to GLS10. Our sincere acknowledgments are due to Professor Anton P.J. Middelberg, the Executive Editor of CES, for his cooperation throughout the reviewing process. Also, we would like to express our gratitude to all the reviewers that made possible a timely publication of this special issue. Thanks are due to Genevieve Green from Elsevier for the excellent management of this special issue publication. Finally, it is our pleasure to dedicate this GLS10 CES special issue to Professor John Davidson as a tribute to his pioneering work and extraordinary contributions to Gas–Liquid and Gas–Liquid–Solid Reactor Engineering and to Chemical Engineering

    Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association, Volume 53, Issue 4, Editor\u27s Note

    Get PDF
    This issue contains several articles of interest. We start with a review of the past year’s criminal decisions from the United States Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Canada. We are incredibly grateful to Berkeley Law Professor Chuck Weisselberg, who has been reviewing the United States Supreme Court’s criminal cases for us for the past decade. This year, our Canadian columnist, Judge Wayne Gorman, has devoted his column in the issue to recent Canadian criminal decisions. The issue also includes several other articles, with topics ranging from how to reduce racial disparities in the criminal-justice system to how to cut ties on social media when ethically required to do so. You’ll find a very special item on the back cover of this issue—a Procedural Fairness Bench Card. The bench card project was initiated by the American Judges Association and joined in by the Center for Court Innovation, the National Center for State Courts, and the National Judicial College. For the Court Review version of the bench card, since we had to include your address on the back cover, there’s some wasted space. At the AJA website (amjudges.org), you’ll find a bench card with that space filled in with six suggested additional readings you can find on the web. As many of you know, promoting procedural fairness in court has been a major AJA initiative since 2007. We hope you’ll find the bench card helpful

    Statactivism: Forms of action between disclosure and affirmation

    Get PDF
    This article introduces the special issue on statactivism, a particular form of action within the repertoire used by contemporary social movements: the mobilization of statistics. Traditionally, statistics has been used by the worker movement within the class conflicts. But in the current configuration of state restructuring, new accumulation regimes, and changes in work organization in capitalists societies, the activist use of statistics is moving. This first article seeks to show the use of statistics and quantification in contentious performances connected with state restructuring, main transformations of the varieties of capitalisms, and changes in work organization regimes. The double role of statistics in representing as well as criticizing reality is considered. After showing how important statistical tools are in producing a shared reading of reality, we will discuss the two main dimensions of statactivism – disclosure and affirmation. In other words, we will see the role of stat-activists in denouncing a certain state of reality, and then the efforts to use statistics in creating equivalency among disparate conditions and in cementing emerging social categories. Finally, we present the main contributions of the various research papers in this special issue regarding the use of statistics as a form of action within a larger repertoire of contentious action. Six empirical papers focus on statactivism against the penal machinery in the early 1970s (GrĂ©gory Salle), on the mobilisation on the price index in Guadalupe in 2009 (Boris Samuel), and in Argentina in 2007 (Celia Lury and Ana Gross), on the mobilisations of experts to consolidate a link between working conditions and health issues (Marion Gilles), on the production of activity data for disability policy in France (Pierre-Yves Baudot), and on the use of statistics in social mobilizations for gender equality (Eugenia De Rosa). Alain DesrosiĂšres wrote the last paper, coping with mobilizations proposing innovations in the way of measuring inflation, unemployment, poverty, GDP, and climate change. This special issue is dedicated to him, in order to honor his everlasting intellectual legac

    From SPS to RHIC: Maurice and the CERN heavy-ion programme

    Full text link
    Maurice Jacob played a key role in bringing together different groups from the experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle physics communities to initiate an ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision program at the CERN SPS, in order to search for the quark-gluon plasma. I review the history of this program from its beginnings to the time when the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) started operation. I close by providing a glimpse of the important discoveries made at RHIC and giving an outlook towards heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). During Maurice's life and not least through his perpetually strong influence, relativistic heavy-ion physics has matured and led to discoveries that radiate into many other fields of physics. Heavy-ion physicists owe a great deal to Maurice Jacob.Comment: 12 pages, including 2 Figs. Invited talk given at the "Maurice Jacob Memorial Meeting", CERN, 11 September 2007.

    The Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage has continued to sort out photographs of kabuki taken by UMEMURA Yutaka (June 15, 1923 to June 5, 2007) since the fiscal year 2008. The particulars of the donation of the photographs taken by UMEMURA, their characteristics, and UMEMURA’s achievements can be found in the report by TSUCHIDA Makiko, the present author’s predecessor, in Research and Reports on Intangible Cultural Heritage, No. 3. UMEMURA was a photographer who worked for a publisher specializing in theater, especially on kabuki . His photographs appeared mainly in the monthly publication Engekikai . UMEMURA worked as a photographer in this company for 57 years, from the November 1950 issue, the first of the publication after World War II, until the May 2007 issue immediately before his death. His photographs are extremely interesting, covering a wide range of topics: stage photographs taken at various theatres, snapshots of actors who responded to special feature interviews, and even photographs of such details as stage sets and properties. These photographs taken over a long period are in themselves valuable record of the history of post-War theatre. Recorded in this report is a list of 2,753 negative films which were sorted out in fiscal year 2013. The photographs listed were taken by UMEMURA Yutaka between February and November of 1975 and include those printed in Engekikai

    Editorial for special issue Ageing, body and society: Key themes, critical perspectives

    Get PDF
    Over the last two decades significant theoretical, methodological and empirical developments have explored the social, biological and cultural dimensions of our bodies as we grow older. An earlier concern within ageing studies that a focus on the bodies of older people represented a return to biological determinism and an overly medical approach has been replaced by a realisation how a focus on ageing bodies offers a novel lens to examine a range of existing sociological and theoretical concerns. These include the nature of the body, self and ageing; social identities and social inequalities; lived experiences and everyday life; the role of materiality and consumption in the cultural constitution of age; health and illness; and ageing across the full lifecourse from midlife to deep old age. It is over twenty years since Peter Ɛberg published his seminal article in Ageing & Society on the absent body in gerontology (Öberg, 1996). It is therefore timely to bring together established and emergent researchers to review the wealth of work in this area, and to take forward key debates, enhance current and emergent theoretical perspectives, and disseminate empirical research in ‘ageing, body and society’. In particular, this special issue aims to highlight and explore interconnections between the corporeality of ageing bodies and the socio-cultural context in which we live. The special issue has built upon the international networks and focus of the British Sociological Association (BSA) Ageing, Body and Society study group1 for which the co-editors Dr. Wendy Martin and Professor Julia Twigg have been co-convenors since 2007. Through international symposia and an annual one day conference, the study group has brought together international academics and researchers whose work focuses on ageing, bodies and embodiment, exploring and debating different theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches and empirical findings
