Facades of diversity

Abstract

This article focuses on urban space and heritage. Our aim is to understand how ordinary streets in Perth respond to urban change and how much these urban streets represent Western Australia’s heritage. The intention is to eschew the dominant branding of WA as Australia’s mining state and shift the spotlight so that in addition to the economic and material, light is also shed on the socio-cultural in the everyday and the vernacular. This project uses Henri Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis approach to explore a contrapuntal reading of heritage that disrupts the deserving, dominant and fixed histories of High Road in Willetton and High Street in Fremantle. Amid the tides of migration, commerce, and cultures, heritage facades on High Street Fremantle appear singular and fixed, whereas multiple cultures have been extracted for sale on High Road. Superficially High Road seems diverse, but the overarching impulse across both sites is commerce – ‘Business as usual’ reigns.

The fission experimental programme at the CERN n_TOF facility: status and perspectives

“…By taking different θ values the efficiency can be re-constructed by pieces [73] knowing that it should be equal to 1 at θ = 0 (trajectory perpendicular to detectors and samples). Conversely at a given θ the efficiency is constant and the θ dependence of the fission rate is proportional to the angular distribution [130].…”

“…More details on the procedure can be found in Ref. [130] Examples of FFADs determined with the PPAC in the tilted configuration are shown in Fig. 18 for the cases of 235 U and 232 Th.…”

“…After emission of the neutron the excitation energy drops, shrinking the distribution of K to low values, producing the steep rise in anisotropy. Apart from 232 Th, the angular anisotropy has been measured at n_TOF for other actinides, such as 234 U and 237 Np [130]. The analysis of these data is near completion and the results will soon become available.…”
