چکیده
Abstract This article focuses on understandings of fog capture as an alternative water supply system in Lima. In neighbourhoods where state infrastructure is missing, catchers promise to alleviate residents’ dependency private suppliers. However, the utility these micro-infrastructures not self-evident. I show how a local NGO attempted bring about commitment among prospective beneficiaries by framing against size and incapacity infrastructure. NGO's rhetoric, catchers’ limited scale vis-à-vis meant that they were better suited for addressing spaces escaped attention. Yet this also presented small-scale could be scaled up respond problem substantial ubiquity. The concludes suggesting anthropologists’ uses smallness trope aggrandising their own methodological dispositions repurposed investigating role pursuits macro effects. Résumé L'article s'attache à comprendre la de brume comme système alternatif production d'eau potable Dans les quartiers où d’État sont absentes, dispositifs collecteurs présentés une solution pour atténuer dépendance des résidents aux camions citernes privés. Cependant, l'utilité ces n'est pas évident. À partir d'une enquête auprès ONG locale en quête bénéficiaires ses initiatives d'installation capteurs autour ville, je montre que telles idées doivent au contraire être délibérément apportées. L'implication récipiendaires potentiels dans projets l'ONG était recherchée partie par mise scène opposition d’échelle. rhétorique membres l'ONG, l’échelle limitée regard infrastructures impliquait d'elle-même qu'elle mieux mesure s'adapter espaces qui échappent l'attention politiques d'aménagement. Ainsi, présente petite taille pourrait l'absolu changer d’échelle afin répondre un problème manifeste d'invisibilisation. conclut avec discussion sur l'utilisation petitesse anthropologie agrandir propres découvertes et méthodologiques. Je suggère cette histoire petit devrait reconsidérée enquêter le rôle poursuite d'effets macros.

Residual Smallness and Weak Centrality
We develop a method of creating skew congruences on subpowers of finite algebras using groups of twin polynomials, and apply it to the investigation of residually small varieties generated by nilpotent algebras. We prove that a residually small variety generated by a finite nilpotent (in particular, a solvable Eminimal) algebra is weakly abelian. Conversely, we show in two special cases that a ...
متن کاملSmallness of Invisible Dictators
Fishburn (1970) showed that in an infinite society Arrow’s axioms for a preference aggregation rule do not necessarily imply a dictator. Kirman and Sondermann (1972) showed that, in this case, nondictatorial rules imply an invisible dictator that, whenever the agent set is an atomless finite measure space, can be viewed as the limit of coalitions of arbitrarily small size. We show first that, w...
متن کاملSimulation and Experiment on Conveying Device of Cutting System of Small Sugarcane Harvester (RESEARCH NOTE)
The main problem is less efficiency and blocking during sugarcane harvesting in hilly areas. This paper researched the cutting and transporting system of a small sugarcane harvester using virtual prototype technology. The dynamics simulation analyses were carried out to study the transporting status with different friction coefficients between the sugarcane and the spiral and different numbers ...
متن کاملEffective heuristics and meta-heuristics for the quadratic assignment problem with tuned parameters and analytical comparisons
Quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a well-known problem in the facility location and layout. It belongs to the NP-complete class. There are many heuristic and meta-heuristic methods, which are presented for QAP in the literature. In this paper, we applied 2-opt, greedy 2-opt, 3-opt, greedy 3-opt, and VNZ as heuristic methods and tabu search (TS), simulated annealing, and pa...
متن کاملOn VC-minimal fields and dp-smallness
In this paper, we show that VC-minimal ordered fields are real closed. We introduce a notion, strictly between convexly orderable and dp-minimal, that we call dp-small, and show that this is enough to characterize many algebraic theories. For example, dp-small ordered groups are abelian divisible and dp-small ordered fields are real closed.
