Additive domain decomposition operator splittings – convergence analyses in a dissipative framework

We analyze temporal approximation schemes based on overlapping domain decompositions. As such schemes enable computations on parallel and distributed hardware, they are commonly used when integrating large-scale parabolic systems. Our analysis is conducted by first casting the domain decomposition procedure into a variational framework based on weighted Sobolev spaces. The time integration of a pa

Hijacking Banksy : using a contemporary art mystery to increase academic readership

In this article I examine the methodological and ethical rigor of a geographic profiling study and resulting article, published in 2016 in "Journal of Spatial Science", which identifies by name a candidate for being the artist known as Banksy.I demonstrate that the article is characterized by a number of methodological flaws which fundamentally undermine the researchers’ basis for determining Bank

Agent of change : street art and environmental thinking

This paper applied an ecocritical perspective on street art to expand on the notion that street art can have an impact on how we relate to urban public space. In doing so, it argued that street art is particularly well positioned to affect the way we think and act with regard to the environment.

Prefermentation improves ethanol yield in separate hydrolysis and cofermentation of steam-pretreated wheat straw

Agricultural residues, such as wheat straw, are feasible substrates for ethanol fermentation provided that pentoses and hexoses can be converted efficiently. Separate hydrolysis and cofermentation (SHCF) constitute a framework for improvement of conversion efficiency, because it permits independent optimization of the enzymatic hydrolysis and cofermentation steps. A drawback is that the high gluco

Becoming your own doctor. Healthcare-seeking, stigma, and related challenges among persons with same-sex sexuality in East Africa.

The health among men and women with same-sex sexuality experience, i.e. attraction to and/or sexual relations with someone of the same sex, in Sub-Saharan Africa is an increasing public health concern. Prior research on men who have sex with men (MSM) has demonstrated that their healthcare utilisation is limited due to stigma and discrimination. However, little is known about the extent to which t
