An exhibition of one’s own: the Salón Femenino de Bellas Artes (Buenos Aires, 1930s-1940s)
From the late 1920s on, Buenos Aires witnessed the emergence of exhibition spaces of a separatist character for women artists. In spite of their importance, these regular shows have not received any attention from art history literature. Their vast development, the extensive coverage by the press, and their links to feminist institutions have gone completely unnoticed. Focusing on the Salón Femenino organized by the Club Argentino de Mujeres, the purpose of this article is to reconstruct the organization of these events, to examine their reception by art critics, and to analyze the careers of some of the participating women artists. These forgotten exhibitions offer a new perspective for the analysis of a period of intense feminine artistic activity in Argentina
Self-similar Approximants of the Permeability in Heterogeneous Porous Media from Moment Equation Expansions
We use a mathematical technique, the self-similar functional renormalization,
to construct formulas for the average conductivity that apply for large
heterogeneity, based on perturbative expansions in powers of a small parameter,
usually the log-variance of the local conductivity. Using
perturbation expansions up to third order and fourth order in
obtained from the moment equation approach, we construct the general functional
dependence of the transport variables in the regime where is of
order 1 and larger than 1. Comparison with available numerical simulations give
encouraging results and show that the proposed method provides significant
improvements over available expansions.Comment: Latex, 14 pages + 5 ps figure

Classification of Possible Finite-Time Singularities by Functional Renormalization
Starting from a representation of the early time evolution of a dynamical
system in terms of the polynomial expression of some observable f (t) as a
function of the time variable in some interval 0 < t < T, we investigate how to
extrapolate/forecast in some optimal stability sense the future evolution of
f(t) for time t>T. Using the functional renormalization of Yukalov and Gluzman,
we offer a general classification of the possible regimes that can be defined
based on the sole knowledge of the coefficients of a second-order polynomial
representation of the dynamics. In particular, we investigate the conditions
for the occurence of finite-time singularities from the structure of the time
series, and quantify the critical time and the functional nature of the
singularity when present. We also describe the regimes when a smooth extremum
replaces the singularity and determine its position and amplitude. This extends
previous works by (1) quantifying the stability of the functional
renormalization method more accurately, (2) introducing new global constraints
in terms of moments and (3) going beyond the ``mean-field'' approximation.Comment: Latex document of 18 pages + 7 ps figure
Self-Similar Factor Approximants
The problem of reconstructing functions from their asymptotic expansions in
powers of a small variable is addressed by deriving a novel type of
approximants. The derivation is based on the self-similar approximation theory,
which presents the passage from one approximant to another as the motion
realized by a dynamical system with the property of group self-similarity. The
derived approximants, because of their form, are named the self-similar factor
approximants. These complement the obtained earlier self-similar exponential
approximants and self-similar root approximants. The specific feature of the
self-similar factor approximants is that their control functions, providing
convergence of the computational algorithm, are completely defined from the
accuracy-through-order conditions. These approximants contain the Pade
approximants as a particular case, and in some limit they can be reduced to the
self-similar exponential approximants previously introduced by two of us. It is
proved that the self-similar factor approximants are able to reproduce exactly
a wide class of functions which include a variety of transcendental functions.
For other functions, not pertaining to this exactly reproducible class, the
factor approximants provide very accurate approximations, whose accuracy
surpasses significantly that of the most accurate Pade approximants. This is
illustrated by a number of examples showing the generality and accuracy of the
factor approximants even when conventional techniques meet serious
difficulties.Comment: 22 pages + 11 ps figure
