Between Memory Sites and Memory Networks
Between Memory Sites and Memory Networks Kerstin P. Hofmann Reinhard Bernbeck Ulrike Sommer (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD their past? And how did they do so before the age of computers, print- ing, writing? This book takes stock of earlier work on memory in the fi elds of history and the social sciences. Our collection also takes a new look at how past and present social groups have memorialized events and rendered them durable through materializations: con- tributors ask how processes and incidents perceived as negative and disruptive are nonetheless constitutive of group identities. Papers also contrast the monumental- izing treatment given to singular events imbued with a hegemonic meaning to more localized, diverse memory places and networks. As case studies show, such mem- oryscapes invite divergent, multivocal and subversive narratives. Various kinds of these imagined geographies lend themselves to practices of manipulation, preserva- tion and control. The temporal scope of the volume reaches from the late Neolithic to the recent past, resulting in a long-term and multi-focal perspective that demonstrates how the perception of past events changes, acquires new layers and is molded by di erent groups at di erent points in time. As several contributions show, these manipula- tions of the past do not always produce the anticipated results, however. Attempts at “post-factual history” are countered by the socially distributed, but spatially and materially anchored nature of the very process of memorialization. 45 · 45 Between Memory Sites and Memory Networks Kerstin P.

Fractal Properties of the Gas Giants and Their Satellites Within the Solar System
To Physics Journal Vol 2 (2019) ISSN: 2581-7396 http://www.purkh.com/index.php/tophy Fractal properties of the Gas giants and their satellites within the Solar system Rosen Iliev1, Boyko Ranguelov2 1Institute for Space Research and Technology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria 2Department of Applied Geophysics, University of Mining and Geology “St. Ivan Rilski”, Sofia, Bulgaria Email addresses: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This study reveals the fractal structure of gas giants and their moons. For this purpose, fractal analysis of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and 182 moons was performed based on their radius (size). The results obtained reveal the fractal geometry of the planet / moon systems within the outer Solar system (SS). The resulting fractal dimensions (D) range from -0.57 to -1.43, decreasing with distance from the Sun. This requires a thorough analysis. Keywords: Solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, moons, fractal Introduction The theory of fractals has been largely developed in the last few decades. The results obtained are frequently used for explanation of the self-similarity and the self-organization of different elements related to the Earth and Planetary science. Thanks to the high achievements of scientific and technical thought in the last half century, mankind has been able to explore the space that has not been available until then. In the course of various space missions, massive data on the geology, topography and physics of the celestial bodies in the solar system has been gathered through space probes and powerful telescopes and satellites. There was a need to develop methods and approaches to analyze and interpret new data. -
