Definition Of

In this article, I readdress the issue of rationality, which has been so far considered in western liberal democracies and in planning theory as procedural, and more recently as post-political in the post-foundational approach, aiming to show how it can gain a substantive and politicising character. I first discuss the problems and limits of the treatment of rational thinking as well as rational consensus-seeking as merely procedural and post-political. Secondly, utilising the notion of Realrationalität of Flyvbjerg, I discuss how rationality attains a politicising role due to its strong relationship with power. Using the concept of planning rationality aiming at public interest, I present the general position and actions of professional organisations in Turkey, focusing on the Chamber of City Planners, as an example illustrative of my argument. I finally argue that rationality becomes a substantive issue that politicizes planning, when it is put forward as an alternative to authoritarian market logic. In doing so, I adopt the Rancièrian definition of the political, defined as disclosure of a wrong and staging of equality. In conclusion, I first emphasize the importance of avoiding quick rejections of the concepts of rationality and consensus in the framework of planning activity and planning theory and secondly, call for a broader definition of the political; the political that is not confined to conflict but is open to rational thinking and rational consensus.

Abstract The general position number of a connected graph is the cardinality of a largest set of vertices such that no three pairwise-distinct vertices from the set lie on a common shortest path. In this paper it is proved that the general position number is additive on the Cartesian product of two trees.

This paper investigates the ‘general position’ properties which ANR's may possess. The most important of these is the disjoint discs property of Cannon (5), which plays a vital role in recent striking characterizations of manifolds (5, 9, 12, 18, 19, 22). Also considered are the property Δ of Borsuk(2) (which ensures an abundance of dimension-preserving maps), and the vanishing of local homology groups up to a given dimension (cf. (9)). Our main results give relations between these properties, and clarify their behaviour under the stabilization operation of taking cartesian product with the real line. In the last section these results are applied to give partial solutions to questions about homogeneous ANR's.

The title compound, trisodium dicobalt(II) (arsenate/phosphate) (diarsenate/diphosphate), was prepared by a solid-state reaction. It is isostructural with Na3Co2AsO4As2O7. The framework shows the presence of CoX22O12(X2 is statistically disordered with As0.95P0.05) units formed by sharing corners between Co1O6octahedra andX22O7groups. These units form layers perpendicular to [010]. Co2O6octahedra andX1O4(X1 = As0.54P0.46) tetrahedra form Co2X1O8chains parallel to [001]. Cohesion between layers and chains is ensured by theX22O7groups, giving rise to a three-dimensional framework with broad tunnels, running along thea- andc-axis directions, in which the Na+ions reside. The two Co2+cations, theX1 site and three of the seven O atoms lie on special positions, with site symmetries 2 andmfor the Co,mfor theX1, and 2 andm(× 2) for the O sites. One of two Na atoms is disordered over three special positions [occupancy ratios 0.877 (10):0.110 (13):0.066 (9)] and the other is in a general position with full occupancy. A comparison between structures such as K2CdP2O7, α-NaTiP2O7and K2MoO2P2O7is made. The proposed structural model is supported by charge-distribution (CHARDI) analysis and bond-valence-sum (BVS) calculations. The distortion of the coordination polyhedra is analyzed by means of the effective coordination number.

Equivariant Maps

Let G be a compact Lie group and V and W be linear G spaces. A study is made of the canonical stratification of some algebraic varieties that arise naturally in the theory of C∞ equivariant maps from V to W. The main corollary of our results is the equivalence of Bierstone's concept of “equivariant general position” with our own of “G transversal”. The paper concludes with a description of Bierstone's higher order conditions for equivariant maps in the framework of equisingularity sequences.

The title compound, lithium/sodium iron(III) bis[orthomolybdate(VI)], was obtained by a solid-state reaction. The main structure units are an FeO6octahedron, a distorted MoO6octahedron and an MoO4tetrahedron sharing corners. The crystal structure is composed of infinite double MoFeO11chains along theb-axis direction linked by corner-sharing to MoO4tetrahedra so as to form Fe2Mo3O19ribbons. The cohesion between ribbonsviamixed Mo—O—Fe bridges leads to layers arranged parallel to thebcplane. Adjacent layers are linked by corners shared between MoO4tetrahedra of one layer and FeO6octahedra of the other layer. The Na+and Li+ions partially occupy the same general position, with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.631 (9):0.369 (1). A comparison is made withAFe(MoO4)2(A= Li, Na, K and Cs) structures.

In this paper, we improve the lower bound on the minimum number of  ≤k-edges in sets of n points in general position in the plane when k is close to n2. As a consequence, we improve the current best lower bound of the rectilinear crossing number of the complete graph Kn for some values of n.
