AbstractIn the summer of 1828, the Entreprise générale des Dames Blanches launched a fleet of white omnibuses onto the streets of Paris. These public transportation vehicles were named and fashioned after Boieldieu's opéra comique La dame blanche (1825): their rear doors were decorated with scenes of Scotland, their flanks painted with gesturing opera characters, and their mechanical horns trumpeted fanfares through the streets. The omnibuses offered one of the first mass transportation systems in the world and were an innovation that transformed urban circulation. During their thirty years of circulation, the omnibuses also had a profound effect on the reception history of Boieldieu's opera. When the omnibuses improved the quality of working- and middle-class life, bourgeois Parisians applauded the vehicles’ egalitarian business model, and Boieldieu's opera became unexpectedly entwined in the populist rhetoric surrounding the omnibus. Viewing opera through the lens of the Dames Blanches, Parisians conflated the sounds of opera and street, as demonstrated by Charles Valentin Alkan's piano piece Les omnibus, Op. 2 (1829), which combines operatic idioms and horn calls. Through these examples and others, this study examines the complex ways that material culture affects the dissemination and reception of a musical work.

In this paper, we use mass transportation theory to study pollution  transfer in  porous media.  We show   the existence of a $L^2-$regular vector field defined by a $W^{1, 1}-$ optimal transport map. A sufficient condition for solvability of our model, is given by   a (non homogeneous) transport equation with  a  source defined by a measure. The mathematical framework used, allows us to  show in some specifical cases, existence of solution for  a nonlinear PDE deriving from the modelling. And we end by numerical simulations.

Transportasi kereta api di Indonesia umumnya dan Jakarta khususnya memiliki sejarah yang cukup panjang. Kereta Rel Listrik (KRL), Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) dan Light Rail Transit (LRT) merupakan perkembangan moda transportasi kereta api masa kini. Perkembangan transportasi tidak terlepas dari kepentingan penjajah dalam mengeksploitasi hasil bumi Indonesia. Hingga pada masanya kereta api menjadi angkutan massal yang murah. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode historis dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa kereta api di Jakarta dimulai pada tahun 1869 hingga 1873. Pembangunan jalur kereta api diperuntukkan bagi pengangkutan hasil bumi di wilayah Buitenzorg ke batavia atau sebaliknya. Pada perkembangannya, kereta api dianggap mampu juga berperan sebagai angkutan tenaga kerja dan kemudian berkembang lagi menjadi angkutan massal di DKI Jakarta.Kata Kunci : Transportasi, Kereta Api  AbsractRail transportation in Indonesia in general and Jakarta in particular has a fairly long history. Electric Rail Trains (KRL), Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) are the development of today's rail transportation modes. The development of transportation is inseparable from the interests of the colonizers in exploiting Indonesian agricultural products. Until the time the train became a cheap mass transportation. The research method uses historical methods and interviews. The results were obtained that the railroad in Jakarta began in 1869 until 1873. The construction of the railroad was intended for transportation of agricultural products in the Buitenzorg region to Batavia or vice versa. In its development, the train is considered capable of also acting as a transportation of labor and then developing again into mass transportation in DKI Jakarta.Keywords : Transportation, Train
