Magical realism and representations of the cold war in Southeast Asia by Lye, Kit Ying

“…However, while there are acknowledgements by scholars that religious myths and pre-existing animistic beliefs continue to influence the way that the indigenous people understand their worlds, Southeast Asian authors (unlike many of their postcolonial peers), do not actively employ magical realism in their exploration of history and civil unrest in their writings, and when they do, are not employed to the same degree as postcolonial authors in other regions. …”

Triangular angle rigidity for distributed localization in 2D by Chen, Liangming

“…More importantly, inspired by Laman's theorem, we propose a topological, necessary and sufficient condition to check generic triangular angle rigidity. Based on the results on triangular angle rigidity, both algebraic and topological localizability conditions are developed, which are necessary and sufficient when the number of anchor nodes in the network is two. …”
