On the problem of placing Mobility Anchor Points in Wireless Mesh Networks

Over the past few years, wireless mesh networks are emerging as a strong technology for cheap wireless coverage. Despite recent advances in wireless mesh networking, many research challenges remain in all protocol layers. Since a mesh network usually has very different characteristics than those of current fixed mobile networks, traditional fixed deployments such as those in cellular IP and HMIP w

Simulation of Chemical Reactors

This thesis consists basically of two parts. They are, however, interrelated by the fact that both parts concerns modelling of catalytic reaction systems and also by the fact that in both parts, spectral methods are used for simulation. The first part describes the numerical treatment of the dispersion model. The model is used to simulate a packed-bed reactor producing formaldehyde from methanol w

What is explanatory asymmetry?

The overall aim of this paper is to examine the claim that explanation is asymmetrical because causation is asymmetrical. The link between causal and explanatory asymmetry is focussed on. It is argued that many theories of causation account for causal asymmetry in a way that stops a causal model from contributing to our understanding of explanatory asymmetry. What appears to be generally advantage

Realist by Nature, by Nature Abstract: Personalist Aesthetics in Mounier and Henry

In the “sketch for a personalist aesthetic” in Le Personnalisme (1949), Emmanuel Mounier cautioned that the tendency towards abstraction in modern art was a sign of nihilism; but he also saw in it a promise to reveal a reality which transcends our habitual view of the world. To Mounier, there is a paradox in the nature of art: it is both realist and abstract; it deals with the reality of beings wh

An Editorial Sewing Circle – Collaborative Storytelling beyond Established Journalistic Platforms: Paper presented at the Media- and Culture Studies Group at the NordMedia11 conference, Akureyri, Iceland, August 11th-13th 2011

This paper starts off with an editorial sewing circle and a patchwork seminar where participants were invited to contribute to an SMS-embroidery-feuillton by embroidering one of their own text-messages. Whereas research on participatory journalism has been based on established journalistic platforms (Karlsson 2010), this paper tries to understand the gathering, processing and publishing of informa
