Using (rigid) Origami moves only, what is the maximum volume that can be enclosed by a square piece of paper?

Motivation:



This is inspired by this question.



The Question:




What is the maximum volume that can be enclosed by folding a square piece of paper (with side length $ell$) using only (rigid) Origami moves?




Thoughts:



I found this, but it's not very helpful because it doesn't give a specific volume and I can't find the paper it references.



It's not a question I think I can answer myself. I have no formal training in Origami and know very little about it.



I'm guessing the shape is just a cube but I'm not sure how to prove that.



Please help :)

    It seems you want a closed (convex?) polyhedron whereas the linked question concerns an open "dish". If so, see Alexander, Dyson, and O'Rourke, "The Foldings of a Square to Convex Polyhedra, 2002.

    The ref it pointed to is a book (I've a hard copy of that). In the book, it say the volume is about $0.056$ which is about $60$% of the volume of a unit-area sphere.

    that result is for a unit square. i.e. $ell = 1$.

    The same result is included in the paper I linked to (Joseph O'Rourke is a coauthor of both), and the paper is freely available via O'Rourke's webpage.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
