Dependency, privilege, and counter-insurgency: a case study of the industrial elite of Hebron in the occupied West Bank by Arafeh, N

“…I also reveal how TFPs have recently introduced a new condition for business growth by requiring beneficiary businessmen to become counter-insurgency actors, managing an ‘anti-terror’ infrastructure and a self-surveillance regime under Israel’s control.</p> <p>Overall, the case study of Hebron’s elite provides a unique prism through which to see the complex assemblage of Israel’s overt and subtle technologies of colonial management. …”

Precision holography and supersymmetric theories on curved spaces by Genolini, P

“…<p>The formulation of rigid supersymmetric field theories on curved space leads to a number of results on their strongly-interacting regime, crucial from both the mathematical and physical point of view, starting from Witten’s topological twist of four-dimensional Yang–Mills theory. …”

Simulations of radiatively cooled magnetic reconnection driven by pulsed power by Datta, Rishabh, Crilly, Aidan, Chittenden, Jeremy P., Chowdhry, Simran, Chandler, Katherine, Chaturvedi, Nikita, Myers, Clayton E., Fox, William R., Hansen, Stephanie B., Jennings, Chris A., Ji, Hantao, Kuranz, Carolyn C., Lebedev, Sergey V., Uzdensky, Dmitri A., Hare, Jack D.

“…In this paper, we perform two- and three-dimensional simulations to model the MARZ (Magnetic Reconnection on Z) experiments, which are designed to access cooling rates in the laboratory necessary to investigate reconnection in a previously unexplored radiatively cooled regime. These simulations are performed in GORGON, an Eulerian two-temperature resistive magnetohydrodynamic code, which models the experimental geometry comprising two exploding wire arrays driven by 20 MA of current on the Z machine (Sandia National Laboratories). …”

Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan : the role of post-conflict reconstruction by Sadia Sulaiman

“…Subsequently, the Taliban-led insurgents re-emerged as a potent force by exploiting the Afghan people’s discontent, which arose from the absence of security, especially in the South and East of Afghanistan and the failure to rebuild the country’s economy, as a result of which the weak Karzai regime lost its legitimacy. The international community’s failure to make headway in reconstructing post-Bonn Afghanistan helped the Taliban to draw material and human resources for their movement from the disgruntled population. …”
