The Doctrine of Res Judicata as Applied to the Trial of Criminal Cases

The principle of res judicata as applied to civil litigation is very familiar. Likewise well known in the field of criminal law is the doctrine of former jeopardy It is apparent, however, from an examination of decisions in criminal cases, that aside from the very restricted field of former jeopardy, the application of the general doctrine of res judicata to criminal litigation is not generally appreciated and applied. The doctrine of former jeopardy is of course applicable only where the two offenses are identical, and cannot be invoked if the offenses are distinct, even in cases where the same facts give rise to two or more criminal offenses. With the present tendency to multiply statutory regulations and penalties, there is a consequent increase of scope for the application of res judicata as distinguished from former jeopard

Woven Within the Surface: interconnected explorations of fine art linen canvas production

For centuries, linen canvas has been the preferred fabric support for painters. While there are historical examples of decoratively woven canvasses, the aesthetic relationship between canvas and painting has rarely been explored. Previously a cottage industry in the UK, production of linen is now mechanised on an industrial scale. Lost skills required to process the fibre are being re-contextualised by designers and crafts people for the sustainability value of slow, local production methods. Similar principles are evident in the work of contemporary artists exploring ecological themes through use of nature as raw material. This paper describes the early stages of Woven Within the Surface, a collaborative interdisciplinary project to grow and weave patterned linen canvas, exploring interconnected aesthetic, ecological, and material-led concepts in textile design and fine art contexts. Discussion will focus on the benefits of collaborating across disciplines in relation to development of new knowledge and understanding, skills, and creative outcomes

Primitive divisors of elliptic divisibility sequences

Silverman proved the analogue of Zsigmondy's Theorem for elliptic divisibility sequences. For elliptic curves in global minimal form, it seems likely this result is true in a uniform manner. We present such a result for certain infinite families of curves and points. Our methods allow the first explicit examples of the elliptic Zsigmondy Theorem to be exhibited. As an application, we show that every term beyond the fourth of the Somos-4 sequence has a primitive divisor
