Drawing on contemporary trans* scholarship, I highlight an incorporeal, affective dimension of trans* embodiment, which I argue operates nonlinearly, enmeshing a past-present-future becoming. I show that the dynamic movement underlying both trans* and matter suggests their mutual imbrication—a mutual imbrication that trans*es materiality. Through the concept of autopoiesis, or the ability of systems to self-organise, I link trans*ed materiality at the micro level (cellular and quantum) to the social processes of trans* assemblages. Autopoiesis emerges as an affective realm, a dimension of trans*ed materiality and a process of trans* assemblages, all of which are integral in the production of space and time. As trans* bodies materialise, they create unique temporal embodiments that challenge universal frameworks of chronological time, highlight the nonlinear resonation of matter and enmesh past-present-future in open-ended becomings. The resulting ontogenetic, 'involutionary' processes of creative evolution produce unique temporalities that form the basis of new embodiments, new subjectivities, and new potentials for existence. As autopoietic processes produce new entities, the uniqueness of each becoming-trans* transforms the spatial and temporal context in which the becomings occur. Keeping in mind that becoming is never complete, I conclude that trans* temporalities are nonlinear, affective processes involved in the production of becoming-trans*. Trans* temporalities are, thus, entangled in an open-ended past-present-future.

The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this record. ; Wave energy resources are intermittent and variable over both spatial and temporal scales. This is of concern when considering the supply of power to the electricity grid. This paper investigates whether deploying arrays of devices across multiple spatially separated sites can reduce intermittency of supply and step changes in generated power, thereby smoothing the contribution of wave energy to power supply. The primary focus is on the southwest UK; SWAN wave model hindcast data are analysed to assess the correlation of the resource across multiple sites and the variability of power levels with wave directionality. Power matrices are used to calculate step changes in the generated power with increasing numbers of sites. This is extended to national and European scales using ECMWF hindcast data to analyse the impacts of generating power at multiple sites over wider areas. Results show that at all scales the step change in generated power and the percentage of time with zero generation decreases with increasing numbers of sites before plateauing. This has positive implications for performance of electricity grids with high levels of renewable penetration. ; The work was supported by the EPSRC funded "Extension of UKCMER Core Research, Industry and International Engagement" project (EP/M014738/1) and (EP/P008682/1).

[Eliot, the temporal power and the spiritual one. With the translation of «Murder in the Cathedral» and its original text] Murder in the Cathedral was written by Eliot in 1935 and represented the same year in Canterbury. The chief character is the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Beckt, for a long time Chancellor of the King of England, Henry the Second. After a good friendship in the political questions, they didn't accord on the relation between spiritual and temporal power. The spiritual power, from the point of view of Beckt, resigned as Chancellor of State, was the Pope's power. I.e., a power that first is of God and then of Pope, a power that is higher of temporal power, a power that is the supreme guide for State and Church. Beckt dies on December 29th, 1170. Four Knights kill him by their swords, in the name of King. So the temporal power, in spite of Middle Ages, triumphs on the spiritual power. Dante and Shakespeare are still far-off. The Chorus, an another important character, expression of the poor people, closes the poetical drama with an invocation to God, Christ and Beckt.

Studies have shown that a large geographic spread of installed capacity can reduce wind power variability and smooth production. This could be achieved by using electricity interconnections and storage systems. However, interconnections and storage are not totally flexible, so it is essential to understand the wind power correlation in order to address power system constraints in systems with large and growing wind power penetrations. In this study, the spatial and temporal correlation of wind power generation across several European Union countries was examined to understand how wind 'travels' across Europe. Three years of historical hourly wind power generation data from 10 countries were analysed. The results of the analysis were then compared with two other studies focused on the Nordic region and the USA. The findings show that similar general correlation characteristics do exist between European country pairs. This is of particular importance when planning and operating interconnector flows, storage optimization and cross-border power trading.

Sovereignty may be most explicitly and prominently associated with space, but it has always had a no less important relationship to time. This becomes clear when we move beyond the narrow idea of sovereignty as the supreme power extended over a territory -- a view that often further assumes this power's immediate and ever-present force -- and consider notions of (moral) legitimacy, legality, obedience and obligation with which it is also associated. A distinctly temporal dimension to sovereignty's founding and persistence emerges in both classical accounts such as Locke's, for whom a past act of express or tacit consent obliges present and future obedience to the government, and more recent accounts such as Derrida's, for whom the declaration that establishes sovereign institutions retroactively invokes the prior identity and authority of a people that did not actually exist before the declaration itself (see Derrida (1986) and Locke (1989), Second Treatise, [section]119). It is the temporal side of sovereignty that I will explore in my contribution to this critical exchange. Adapted from the source document.
