Abstract This article 1 explores the messy practice of decolonising a concept through collaborative work between scholars researching together meaning everyday humanitarianism in Tanzania. Humanitarianism is typically understood as state-centric, formal, Northern-driven helping distant others crisis. Using humanitarianism, our challenges these assumptions three ways. First, it humanitarian acti...

The irreducible representations of Sn, i.e. the Specht modules are indexed by partitions λ of n. For any two partitions λ, μ of n, Sλ ⊗ Sμ = gλμνSν , for suitable integers gλμν . The actual values of these coefficients still eludes us. We look at a formula (admittedly messy), which gives the exact values of gλμν for simple shapes λ, μ.

The National Park Service funded a study to determine the impact of water released from the Glen Canyon Dam on sandbars downriver through Grand Canyon National Park. The project involved considerable amounts of messy and missing data. Some of the challenges faced and lessons learned during this project are described.

theoretical scenarios. As for following the agreed procedure, it was clear already that not only had people written very different accounts of different lengths and with different 'starting points', but it was also clear that some dyads had exchanged autobiographical accounts before interviewing, giving us an immediate illustration of the messy realities of research and the tendency for people,...

The variance of the spatial topological relationships and how to restore these relationships by the geometric relationships between points are researched. A kind of approaching algorithm of outline curves based on messy data is presented. The test results in virtual navigating environment are also given.

The fast messy genetic algorithm fmGA belongs to a class of algorithms inspired by the principles of evolution known appropriately as evolutionary algorithms EAs These techniques operate by applying biologically inspired operators such as recom bination mutation and selection to a population of individuals EAs are frequently applied as optimum seeking techniques by way of analogy to the princip...

This article reviews current debates on epistemic habits of critique and affirmation, specifically focusing on approaches which combine criticality with ways to encourage unfoldings of alternative futurities, figurations and worlding practices. Embedded in a process of critical self-reflection regarding epistemic habits, the article discusses disidentification (Butler 1993, Muñoz 1999), cruel o...

Recent efforts have enabled applications to query the entire Semantic Web. Such approaches are either based on a centralised store or link traversal and URI dereferencing as often used in the case of Linked Open Data. These approaches make additional assumptions about the structure and/or location of data on the Web and are likely to limit the diversity of resulting usages. In this article we p...
