Abstract:
Julien McHardy draws on his work with the alternative publishing collective Mattering Press to explore the importance of opening up and maintaining “bewildering spaces within” the increasingly normative and clear-cut regimes of evaluation. Drawing on a range of examples from alternative publishing, the artwork “The Right to be Lazy” and concepts of care, love, qualculation and laziness, McHardy argues that opening up space for otherness within are crucial to good academic work. At the same time, he also warns us that caring for difference is a struggle that includes making radical cuts and disconnections, and in practice often may build on precarious and invisible work. This leads him to asks what academic institutions would look like that could value and cultivate that which they cannot evaluate.

Abstract:
The focus of this article is on compiling a biography of Reverend William McLeod, a secular priest who served Corgarff from 1800 to 1804 and Braemar from 1804 until his death in 1809. This task is complicated by the fact that he was known by some as McLeod, and by others as McHardy, while Dom Odo Blundell in his 1909 \textit{The Catholic Highlands of Scotland} referred to him as McLeod alias McHardy. This article makes use of documents that have come to light, during the course of the last century, which not only assist in explaining who this enigmatic priest was, but also suggest possible reasons for the confusion surrounding his name. Although his service to the Church was interrupted by the tuberculosis which caused his death, the details of his life, including his presence in Braemar during a particularly turbulent period in this Mission's history, help to expand our knowledge of Catholicism in the north-east Highlands during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Abstract:
AbstractSome aspects of power-spectral densities (PSD) of active galactic nuclei are similar to those of galactic black hole X-ray binary systems (McHardy et al. 2005). The signal originates near a black hole and its modulation by general-relativistic effects should be taken into account (Życki & Nedźwiecki 2005). We modified the previous calculations of these effects, assuming a model of spots which occur on the disc surface and decay with a certain lifetime.

Abstract:
AbstractScaling relations are the most powerful astrophysical tools to set constraints to the physical mechanisms of astronomical sources and to infer properties for objects where they cannot be accessed directly. We have re-investigated one of these scaling relations using powerful type 1 Seyferts; the so-called X-ray variability plane (or mass-luminosity-timescale relation, McHardy et al.2006). This relation links the power-spectral density (PSD) break frequency with the SMBH mass and the bolometric luminosity. We used all available XMM-Newton observations to study the PSD and spectra in short segments within each observation. This allows us to report for the first time that the PSD break frequency varies for each object, showing variations in 19 out of the 22 AGN analyzed. Our analysis of the variability plane confirms the relation between the break frequency and the SMBH mass and finds that the obscuration along the line of sight (or the variations on the obscuration using its standard deviation) is also a required parameter. We constrain a new variability plane of the form: log(vBreak) = – A log (MBH) + B log (NH) – C (or log(vBreak) = – A log (MBH) + B Δ (NH) + C). The X-ray variability plane found by McHardy et al. (2006) is roughly recovered when we use unobscured segments. We speculate the PSD shape is related with the outflowing wind close to the accretion disk at least for these powerful type 1 AGN (Gonzalez-Martin et al. 2018).

Abstract:
This work discusses the importance of the site in the morphological structuring of urban centres. Studies on the implantation of the city of Belo Horizonte, located in the state of Minas Gerais Brazil, show that the occupation of the city occurred initially in the valleys. This was due to the favourable conditions of the topography, which allowed an orthogonal layout in the central area. In spite of this, since the city’s foundation, the most rugged areas have been occupied by favelas, whose layout differed from the dominant pattern. As flat areas became scarce, the hilly regions, possessing long strips of land, were also subdivided and exploited due to their substantially lower land prices. Although the favelas sprung up spontaneously and the new settlements were planned, both had similarities in the layout of the streets which were adjusted to the steep contours and the geological conditions of the terrain. At the same time, the plot defined another configuration in the subdivisions, in which the building was occupied by only a single family and, in most cases, the building was separated from the street by high walls. As a consequence, the relationship between public and private space became severely compromised. In the case of the favelas, the formal inexistence of the plot is demonstrated in the juxtaposition of the dwellings, in which each residence is constructed above another in extremely confined space. The relationship with the street also differs in these places, since the first floor often freely connects to the street, integrating the dwelling with the public space and thus contributing to the social life of the community. This is furthermore in contrast to the previously noted walled environments characterising planned areas. The analysis of these parameters could profitably be utilised in new designs that appropriate some of the popular solutions better suited to the environment, and in turn, integrate them into public policy.References: FERREIRA, M.

Rita Occhiuto Faculté d’Architecture. Université de Liège, ULG. 1, Rue Courtois 4000 Liège (BE) Tél. +3242217900 e-mail : r.occhiuto@ulg.ac.be Keywords: public space, park system, green and water infrastructure, morphological green writings, landscape memory The rapid transformation and the trivialization of landscapes in Wallonia (BE), require reformulating tools and objectives of morphological studies. Built fabrics and landscapes show the effects of abandoning or losing interest in the interrelations between natural and human actions. This contribution focuses on studies of cities and territories that have ceased to be the object of spatial policies attentive to the relationship between the need to live, maintain or care for green or natural spaces. After the systematic reduction of urban environments to simple green covers, morphological reading allows the recognition of traces of park systems or green infrastructures, whose communities often do not remember. The research's focus has shifted from the building to the green space structure. This displacement of interest makes it possible to find commons cultures that have acted on the territory of Liège (industrial city) on the one hand, through the building’s extension and on the other hand, through the project of forests, walks, squares, parks and public gardens. Now, these fragmented places become the main resource for reorganizing natural and human systems in order to offer new - social and spatial - coherence for tomorrow. Thus the historical green systems become a strong structuring link which serves to seek new dialectics of balance between existing fabrics and green systems. This system’s regeneration stands, on the one hand, to the hybridization of materials - water, green and buildings - and, on the other hand, to the physical and mental memory of the inhabited environments that populations keep. Green systems impose themselves as powerful vectors for the construction of new socio-spatial balances of cities and territories of globalization, as in the study case for the landscape systems in Liège and for the water and landscapes infrastructure in Chaudfontaine.References Foxley, A.

Abstract:
Neuromorphic vision technology holds great promise for space applications owing to its low power consumption, high temporal precision and high dynamic range [1][2]. Dynamic vision sensors, or event-cameras as they are commonly known, have disrupted research fields across the computer vision landscape, from object tracking to image reconstruction, in robotics to the automotive industry [3]. A dynamic vision sensor is event-driven by design, as independently sensitive image pixels only respond to changes in scene brightness, leading to sparse and asynchronous output streams of data. Only motion between the scene and the camera will generate data, thus avoiding the capture of redundant static information and wasteful usage of onboard resources. Recent demonstrations of dynamic vision for in-orbit space situational awareness (SSA) [4][5] are encouraging, warranting further adoption of event-based hardware in the space sector. Whether tracking space debris or landing on a planetary body or asteroid, events are captured in the image plane of the dynamic vision sensor as a result of the relative dynamics between the onboard camera and the space environment. While event-based vision for guidance navigation and control (GNC) has been considered at a theoretical level in the past [1], onboard demonstrations of this technology have yet to be deployed. Its limited adoption to date can, in part, be explained by the lack of event-based datasets tailored to vision-based navigation in space and state-of-the-art event processing tools found in other disciplines (e.g., robotics). Our main contribution is a software pipeline to generate event-based datasets from simulated spacecraft trajectories in a photorealistic scene generator for planetary bodies and asteroids. Various landing scenarios are considered in this work to illustrate how the pipeline may be configured to capture event-based representation of surface features. We will base an upcoming scientific crowd-sourcing initiative [6] on this landing dataset to engage the wider computer vision communities in determining how best to handle event-based data for navigation and landing. We propose a flexible data pipeline which takes in trajectory specifications as input and outputs streams of events corresponding to the motion of features in the scene. From the initial conditions of the spacecraft and the properties of the target body, we solve an optimal control problem corresponding to a non-ventral, minimum-mass descent trajectory on the Moon and Mars. The trajectories are then used to manipulate the viewpoint of a pinhole camera model in the Planet and Asteroid Natural Scene Generator (PANGU) [7] which renders synthetic images of the surface during approach. Finally, a video-to-event converter [8] is used to generate synthetic events induced by the simulated landings. The sparse and asynchronous events include various artifacts (noise, motion blur, etc.) modelled after the performance of dynamic vision sensors in the field. The resulting dataset captures dynamic, event-based representations of common surface features such as craters, boulders and the target body's horizon. The upcoming data challenge will focus on the representation of event-based data, itself a new paradigm in computer vision, and its processing to meet navigation and landing objectives. The success of previous scientific crowd-sourcing initiatives on spacecraft pose estimation [9][10] testifies to the effectiveness of competitive data challenges in garnering interest and solutions to novel optical navigation opportunities. Beyond the data challenge, the event-based landing dataset is envisioned to support investigations into future onboard opportunities for event- and vision-based navigation, including optical-flow-based motion estimation, surface feature identification and tracking, and terrain relative navigation. By releasing this pipeline, we hope to promote the creation of new datasets for event-based navigation around other planetary bodies and asteroids, and to support the development of state-of-the-art event processing tools for future space missions.
