What’s the ‘Matter ’ with Materialism? Walter Benjamin and the New Janitocracy
"... This paper examines Walter Benjamin’s argument that the matter—the materials —of materialist historiographyare the objects that have been forgotten and discarded by modern bourgeois commodity culture. Just as Benjamin saw in child’s play and children’s playthings a potential ‘playing out ’ and ‘reco ..."

Analysis of a Finite Buffer Queue with Heterogeneous Markov Modulated Arrival Processes: A Study of Traffic Burstiness and Priority Packet Discarding
- Computer Networks and ISDN Systems 28
, 1992
"... This paper considers a single server queueing system with a finite buffer and multiple heterogeneous arrival streams. We focus on Markov Modulated Arrival processes with differing burstiness and investigate the loss of individual arrival streams when the burstiness parameters of the arrival streams ..."

are varied. In addition, we study the behavior of loss probabilities for a priority packet discarding scheme, a congestion control mechanism suitable for high-speed networks. Several interesting numerical results are presented. We introduce a new characterization of an arrival stream, which we refer
www.alr-journal.org Aquatic Living Resources Effects of Turtle Excluder Devices on bycatch and discard reduction in the demersal fisheries of Mediterranean Sea
, 2011
"... Abstract – The Central Mediterranean provides important neritic habitats for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), but Mediterranean bottom trawlers catch an estimated 30 000 turtles a year, with 25 % mortality. Mortality by trawling is mainly due to enforced apnoea during towing activity. In order ..."

to reduce the submergence time and consequent turtle mortality, a specific technical modification was developed in the early 1980s: the Turtle Excluder Device (TED). In this paper, we field-tested a typical Supershooter TED and three new types of low-cost TED, built with different designs and materials

The Ghetto Bastard: A Portable Noise Instrument
"... Due to the accelerating development of ‘rapidly to become redundant ’ technologies, there is a growing mountain of perfectly serviceable discarded electronic devices hiding quietly at the bottom of almost every domestic rubbish pile or at the back of nearly every second hand shop. If you add in to t ..."

in to this scenario the accelerating nature of our society where people don’t have time or the motivation in their lives to sell or auction their redundant electronics, one can discover a plethora of discarded materials available for salvage. Using this as a starting point, I have produced a portable noise instrument
DBProxy: A dynamic data cache for Web applications
- In Proc. ICDE
, 2003
"... The majority of web pages served today are generated dynamically, usually by an application server querying a back-end database. To enhance the scalability of dynamic content serving in large sites, application servers are offloaded to front-end nodes, called edge servers. The improvement from such ..."

DBProxy is designed to adapt to changes in the workload in a transparent and graceful fashion by caching a large number of overlapping and dynamically changing "materialized
Wastes as Raw Materials
- The Greening of Industrial Ecosystems, National Academy Press, Washington D.C
, 1994
"... Post consumer waste, industrial scrap and unwanted by-products from manufacturing operations should not be viewed as wastes. Rather, they are raw materials, but these raw materials are often significantly underutilized. One of the challenges of the emerging discipline of Industrial Ecology will be t ..."

Ceramic building material (CBM)
"... A total of 16420 fragments (926743g) of Roman ceramic building material was recovered from the three areas excavated, of which 61 fragments were retained. A range of different tile types were identified (Table CBM1), however the material was in a very fragmentary state with few complete dimensions p ..."

Coarse ceramic tesserae were numerous, accounting for almost half the assemblage, (47 % by fragment count, 18% by weight), with over 7700 recorded examples. Length
