In Part 2 we will delve into the worlds of derived and spectral algebraic
geometry. After reviewing some basic notions we will explain how motivic
homotopy theory can be extended to these settings. As far as time permits
we will then discuss applications to virtual fundamental classes, as well
as a new cohomology theory for commutative ring spectra, a brave new
analogue of Weibel's KH
We consider extensions of Morel-Voevodsky's motivic homotopy theory to the
settings of derived and spectral algebraic geometry. Part I will be a
review of the language of infinity-categories and the setup of
Morel-Voevodsky homotopy theory in this language. As an example we will
sketch an infinity-categorical proof of the representability of Weibel's
homotopy invariant K-theory in the motivic homotopy category.

Experimental investigation of linear stability mechanisms in stratified gas-liquid pipe flow
The evolution of interfacial waves on a stratified air water pipe flow is investigated experimentally. An oscillating plate introduced controlled perturbations at the inlet of the pipe. High speed cameras captured the evolution of these perturbations along the pipe by means of a phase-locked shadowgraphy technique. Thereby, it was possible to measure the temporal and the spatial evolution of the disturbances introduced in the flow. Particle image velocimetry was performed further downstream in order to evaluate changes in the base flow.
A relatively large data bank has been gathered with varying air and water flow rates as well as varying amplitudes and frequencies of the inlet perturbations. Some preliminary results contain a qualitative assessment of linear vs. non-linear regimes and momentum transfer into the water layer.
