The Malayan Landscape Paintings by Sarena Abdullah, Yuen Beng Lee

“…This article explores the evolution of the representation of Malaysia in landscape paintings from the early 19th century to mid-20th century by examining selected works and discussing how these artistic renditions reflect the changes that were happening in Malaya, from the types of landscapes produced by British artist-officers to how the British government mooted the Malayan cultural strategy to gain public trust and confidence in their ability to combat insurgency. …”

Aqueous foams in microgravity, measuring bubble sizes by Pasquet, Marina, Galvani, Nicolo, Pitois, Olivier, Cohen-Addad, Sylvie, Höhler, Reinhard, Chieco, Anthony T., Dillavou, Sam, Hanlan, Jesse M., Durian, Douglas J., Rio, Emmanuelle, Salonen, Anniina, Langevin, Dominique

“…A new more general expression of the diffuse intensity transmitted with specific optical boundary conditions has been derived and applied to determine the average bubble radius. The temporal evolution of the average bubble radii deduced from DTS and of the same average radii of the bubbles measured at the sample surface is the same (to a factor probably close to one) throughout the coarsening. …”
