Determining the impact of elemental composition on the long‐term survival of vegetable‐tanned leather in archaeological environments
This research paper investigated whether elemental analysis can differentiate leather manufacturing from soil contamination and whether soil hydrology and elemental composition impact degradation of leather. Portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) is a quick method for monitoring large‐scale changes and groupings of aggregate inorganic elemental signatures, as well as influx of soil‐based elements into the leather samples. Soil elements appeared to le…
Bone Diagenesis and Extremes of Preservation in Forensic Science
Understanding the composition and diagenetic processes of the deposition environment is pivotal to understanding why bone undergoes preservation or diagenesis. This research explores the complex nexus of diagenesis at the extremes of preservation, via the interdependent chemical, and short- and long-term microbial processes that influence diagenesis. These processes include dissolution, ion exchange, hydrolysis, recrystallisation, waterlogging, a…
Sultana Dreams of Infrastructure
This article examines Rokeya Hossain's “Sultana's Dream” (1905), a short story that pictures a solar-powered utopia governed by women, as a key site for thinking through the entanglements of sovereignty, gender, colonization, and environmental relations as they are articulated through infrastructure. To read infrastructurally in this way, we attend to socio-historical contexts of nineteenth-century Bengali society and to the Victorian imperial ro…

Turning toward the Sun
This article will introduce New Food and the process of precision fer mentation. It will then do three things: First, it will analyze the narratives and images New Food mobilizes, how they are embodied in its technologies and infrastructures, and how they intersect with dominant discourses of the present in order to be persuasive. Secondly, it will situate the New Food as part of a longer tradition of infrastructural Singularity narratives and de…
PXRF method development for elemental analysis of archaeological soil
Portable X‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) is now widely used for detecting the elemental composition of a material. Elemental analysis can enhance archaeological interpretations, such as mapping, preservation analysis and identifying anthropogenic activities. However, validated and reproducible protocols for analysing archaeological soil are still required. The elemental concentrations detected with three sets of preparation methods were compared: in‐si…

D Imaging as a Public Engagement Tool
Museums have an ethical code of research and education, and 3D imaging has great potential in helping to achieve some of these objectives by providing accurate replications without barriers to access. Digital and printed models may remove object authenticity, but they do provide direct encounters with heritage and archaeological science whilst preserving the archaeological record. To demonstrate the potential for 3D imaging in archaeology and pub…

This Shining Confluence of Magic and Technology
This article will engage in an extended analysis of solarpunk, a richly elaborated speculative solar energy imaginary. It will ask, firstly, what solarpunk suggests about the formal, semiotic, and aesthetic dimensions of existing solar technology, and the kinds of fantasies such technology facilitates. Secondly, it will analyse how imaginary infrastructures figure a variety of social and technological elements necessary to transition, and how fan…
New Practices for the Genre Community
Three Science Fiction Novellas
The Belgian author J.-H. Rosny aîné is a relative unknown. A contemporary of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, he wrote a number of science fiction stories, as well as naturalistic ones, all in French. Despite being something of a celebrity in his day, he has received scant attention from the anglophone world—a smattering of (allegedly poor or half-baked) translations and a couple of Ph.D. dissertations that “tend to dismiss Rosny's ‘scientific’ novel…

Immigration and National Identity in Obama's America
The culture-war issues salient in US politics in the 1990s and early 2000s were typified by debates over the legality and morality of abortion and same-sex marriage. Immigration, in contrast, has been an intermittent issue, not as polarized as many others. That changed with the candidacy and then election of Barack Obama to the presidency. While anti-abortion and “pro-family” activism has continued, there is a new public focus on a vision of “Ame…
Population based absolute and relative survival to 1 year of people with diabetes following a myocardial infarction
This is the first study to provide population based tables of age stratified risk of re-infarction or death for people with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. These tables can be used for giving advice to patients, developing a baseline to compare intervention studies or developing license or health insurance guidelines
Risk factors for childhood obesity at age 5
Education of the primary carer is an important modifiable factor which can be targeted to address rising obesity levels in children. Interventions should be family centred supporting and showing people how they can implement lifestyle changes in their family
Constructing the Public Good
This essay argues for the usefulness of approaching social movement ideology as a set of “cultural resources” that can be understood in many of the same ways as are conventional structural resources. One important type of cultural resource is the rhetorical frame with which movements make public political claims. Using a specific substantive example of a cultural resource — rhetoric about the “public good” — I focus on the linkages between collec…

Political Ideology and Political Action in the New Christian Right
In attempting to explain the recent prominence of politicized Evangelicalism, many researchers have used exposure to religious television as an important intervening variable between religious fundamentalism and the politicized attitudes of the New Christian Right. Using Tamney and Johnson's data (1983; 1984), we try to refine that model by distinguishing between televangelists with specifically political messages from those who emphasize a more …
