The modern battlefield is a judicial and social space as well as a spatio-temporal designation that has evolved through time. In this article, we argue that the shifts in the social meaning of what the battlefield is — from a 'deeply social marker of war's limitation' (Mégret, 2011: 133) to a hunting ground of a party over its game — can be seen in the colour-use on the battlefield. More specifically, we argue that the shift in the use of colours in military battlefield uniforms, from conspicuously colourful to camouflaged and blending in or disrupting shapes, can be seen to work as a semiotic vehicle to understand societal meanings attached to the battlefield. This builds on the idea that 'what soldiers wear is central to the public image of the military' (Tynan, 2013a: 27), to their own modes of being and action, and to the meaning of the battlefield itself. The most evident reading of this development in colour-use tends to be a functionalist one, where the development of toned-down colours and camouflage goes along with technological advances and needs in the face of more and more powerful observation and targeting tools. We offer another reading. Arguing through a semiotic analysis of colour-use, we examine colour-use on military battlefield uniforms in light of how imaginaries and practices of the battlefield evolve.

Methods used to deter biofouling of underwater structures and marine vessels present a serious environmental issue and are both problematic and costly for government and commercial marine vessels worldwide. Current antifouling methods include compounds that are toxic to aquatic wildlife and marine ecosystems. Dihydrooroidin (DHO) was shown to completely inhibit Halomonas pacifica biofilms at 100 μM in a static biofilm inhibition assay giving precedence for the inhibition of other marine-biofilm-forming organisms. Herein we present DHO as an effective paint-based, non-cytotoxic, antifouling agent against marine biofouling processes in a marine mesocosm.

L'article traite des cinq seules peintures connues de I Madé Matjong, un peintre balinais de la fin de l'époque coloniale, sur lequel on sait assez peu de choses. Il vécut dans le village de Pangkung Karung, près de la petite ville de Kerambitan, ce qui explique que deux de ses peintures soient conservées dans les deux principaux palais de cette ville: le Puri Agung et le Puri Anyar. L'auteur analyse lesdites peintures ainsi que leurs sources d'inspiration, à savoir: le Arjunawijaya, le Ramayana et le Malat, et les replace dans le contexte de la peinture balinaise traditionnelle.

This article addresses the impact of asphalt type and roughness on paint pavement marking retroreflectivity. Marking retroreflectivity and pavement roughness data were collected on two-lane highways in North Carolina. A t test was used to analyze the data. It was found that the mean values of the retroreflectivity measurements for the plant mixed pavements are significantly higher than those for the bituminous surface treatment (BST; chip seal) pavements. The mean left-wheel international roughness index (IRI) values and right-wheel IRI values for plant mixed pavements are lower than for the BST pavement. The conclusion is that marking crews should consider applying higher-quality paint markings (thicker paint and more glass beads) on BST pavements to achieve the same service life as the markings on plant mixed pavements. This would provide drivers with a more consistent and uniform marking retroreflectivity and the agency or municipality with a more consistent marking schedule.
