Materializirane transnacionalne prakse in integracija: poljska transnacionalna migracija in svet materialnih dobrin

The paper addresses the historical and class-contingent processes of transnationalism and integration mediated through material culture. I see the world of goods as a means to uncover the daily, potentially cosmopolitan, practices through which migrants (re)create the ties to their places of origin and destination and contribute to the transnationalization and cosmopolitanization of the subjectivity of the people with whom they interact: the Finnish “natives” and those who stayed behind. The analysis is based on my multi-sited ethnography conducted across Poland and Finland.Ta članek se ukvarja z zgodovinskimi in razredno pogojenimi procesi transnacionalizma in integracije, kot se kažejo skozi materialno kulturo. Svet materialnih dobrin vidim kot sredstvo za razkrivanje dnevnih, potencialno svetovljanskih praks, skozi katere migranti (po)ustvarjajo vezi do krajev izvora in destinacije. Tako prispevajo k transnacionalizaciji in kozmopolitizaciji subjektivnosti ljudi, s katerimi so v interakciji: finskimi »domorodci« in tistimi, ki so ostali doma. Analiza temelji na več-lokacijski etnografiji, opravljeni na Poljskem in Finskem

The optimization of the stationary heat equation with a variable right-hand side

summary:Solving the stationary heat equation we optimize the temperature on part of the boundary of the domain under investigation. First the Poisson equation is solved; both the Neumann condition on part of the boundary and the Newton condition on the rest are prescribed, the distribution of the heat sources being variable. In the second case, the heat equation also contains a convective term, the distribution of heat sources is specified and the Neumann condition is variable on part of the boundary

The development of silica hydride stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography from conception to commercialization

The development of a stationary phase material for high-performance liquid chromatography based on a surface of silica hydride as opposed to silanols on ordinary silica is discussed including synthetic approaches, characterization, and applications. There are several synthetic approaches available to create a silica hydride surface. Modification of the Si–H moiety on the silica surface can be accomplished through the use of a hydrosilation reaction. Both the intermediate silica hydride and the material modified with an organic moiety can be characterized by a number of spectroscopic as well as a variety of other methods. Further insights into the retention mechanism are provided through chromatographic measurements. The ultimate utility of any chromatographic stationary phase material is determined by its success in solving challenging analytical problems. A broad range of applications is reviewed to illustrate the versatility and usefulness of silica hydride-based stationary phases

Towards Peer-to-Peer Scheduling Architecture for the Czech National Grid

The Czech National Grid Infrastructure MetaCentrum has been using a central scheduler infrastructure for approximately the past 10 years. This facilitated simple administration and direct support for large jobs running across several geographical sites. The knowledge of complete state allowed the scheduler to provide high quality decision making incorporating features like fairshare. On the other hand, this central setup created a single point of failure issue and also reached its scalability limits. In this paper we describe our work towards a new distributed architecture that maintains high scheduling quality while solving most of the single server issues. Our new distributed architecture provides both local autonomy and high scheduling quality. Users can still submit jobs locally even when cross-site connectivity is lost. Individual schedulers work primarily with their local server but still maintain global state, that allows them to mimic centralised scheduling features. The architecture still supports central accounting and fairshare across the entire grid. Implementation is based on the open-source Torque batch system, which replaced the previous commercial PBSPro central server installation. Torque provides a similar codebase as it has a common ancestor with PBSPro in OpenPBS. Torque therefore provides familiar interface for both users and developers
