Book Description
Building on historical and contemporary literature in anthropology and art theory, Lines That Connect treats pattern as a material form of thought that provokes connections between disparate things through processes of resemblance, memory, and transformation. Pattern is constantly in a state of motion as it traverses spatial and temporal divides and acts as an endless source for innovation through its inherent transformability. Graeme Were argues that it is the ideas carried by pattern’s relational capacity that allows Pacific islanders to express their links to land, genealogy, and resources in the most economic ways. In doing so, his book is a timely and unique contribution to the analysis of pattern and decorative art in the Pacific amid growing debates in anthropology and art history. This striking and original study brings together objects and photographs, historical literature and contemporary ethnographic case studies to explore pattern in its logical workings. It presents the first-ever analysis of the well-known patterned shell valuable called kapkap as revealed in New Ireland mortuary feasts. Innovative research in the study of Christianity and the Baha’i faithful in the region shows how pattern has been appropriated in new religious communities. Were argues that pattern is used in various guises in performances, church architecture, and funerary images to contrasting effect. He explores the conditions under which pattern facilitates a connecting of old and new ideas and how missionary processes are implicated in this flow. He then considers the mechanisms under which pattern is internalized, paying particular attention to its embeddedness in spatial and numerical thinking. Finally, he examines how pattern carries new materials and technologies, which in turn provide new resources for sustaining old beliefs. Drawing on a multitude of fields (anthropology; art history; Pacific, museum, and religious studies; education; ethnomathematics), Lines That Connect raises key questions about the capacity of pattern across the Pacific to bind and sustain ideas about place, body, and genealogy in the most logical of ways.

Book Description
Aim: The access of the medium-voltage (MV) microgrid changes the radial structure of traditional distribution networks, causing the distribution network to operate in a closed-loop manner. The closed-loop operation complicates the fault characteristics of the distribution network, and the traditional single-phase grounding (SPG) line selection method is no longer applicable. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new targeted SPG line selection method. Methods: This paper analyzes the network structure of MV microgrids and MV distribution networks and establishes a multi-level closed-loop operation distribution network model with MV microgrid access. Then, the SPG fault characteristics of the closed-loop operation distribution system under the small current grounding mode are analyzed from the perspective of two-level bus nodes. Furthermore, based on the analysis of fault characteristics, a closed-loop operation distribution network line selection method suitable for microgrid access is proposed, and a detailed design is carried out in terms of equipment configuration and communication schemes, forming a relatively complete automatic line selection system. At the same time, the proposed line selection scheme is based on the two-level bus nodes, which can be analogously applied to the multi-level closed-loop operation distribution network. Results: The simulation results show that the proposed line selection scheme can be effectively applied to the closed-loop operation distribution network with MV microgrid access. Conclusion: The traditional SPG line selection method will have misjudgment problems after the MV microgrid is integrated into the distribution network, but the line selection method proposed in this paper has good adaptability.
