Marking the Carceral Boundary

Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) Boundary-Node Behavior for the Single Marking (SM) Mode of Operation

Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) is a means for protecting the quality of service for inelastic traffic admitted to a Diffserv domain. The overall PCN architecture is described in RFC 5559. This memo is one of a series describing possible boundary-node behaviors for a PCN-domain. The behavior described here is that for a form of measurement-based load control using two PCN marking states: notm...

Marking the Boundary: Utterance-final Prosody in French Questions and Statements

The use of two markers of prosodic finality in French, vowel lengthening and high vowel breathiness/devoicing, were compared among statements and questions of various types (echo-questions, Wh-questions, questions with inverted subject and verb). The comparison focuses on the relation between sentence-final intonation and the other markers of finality. The intonation pattern of statements and W...

Territorial Marking with Faeces in Badgers (Meles meles): A Comparison of Boundary and Hinterland Latrine Use

Reproducibility of the Empty Marking

The main theorem of the paper states that the empty marking ∅ is reproducible in a p/t-net N if and only if there are reproducing T-invariants whose net representations have neither traps nor co-traps (deadlocks). This result is to be seen in connection to modeling processes, since all processes which have a start and a goal event usually reproduce the empty marking.

The ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ of prisons: Carceral geography and home visits for prisoners in Finland

This paper argues that the burgeoning sub-discipline of carceral geography needs to pay particular attention to context when theorising carceral space, and that the specific context of Finland offers a new and valuable perspective. Much of the work within this new area of human geography originates in or pertains to the highly incarcerative, or ‘hypercarcerative’ contexts of the US, the UK and ...
