Borrar, silenciar y censurar las imágenes de la revuelta social del octubre chileno
Creators: name: Silva-Escobar, Juan Pablo
Publisher: name: Confluenze. Rivista di Studi Iberoamericani
Year: 2022

description: El propósito de este ensayo es reflexionar acerca de las implicancias estéticas y políticas que se desprenden del uso intensivo del espacio público mediante imágenes que expresan el malestar social en muros, calles y monumentos en el contexto de la revuelta del 18 de octubre en Chile. A la vez, se analizan las implicancias ideológicas de su contraparte, es decir la censura ostensible de dichas imágenes a través de la utilización de un conjunto de dispositivos de coerción y disciplinamiento que tienen por finalidad apropiarse del espacio público, en tanto espacio social y poder simbólico siempre en disputa.

description: В результате проведенных исследований нами установлены различные уровни оптиче-ской плотности в мышечной ткани и органах у клинически здоровых животных и инфициро-ванных эхинококками. Выявлено повышение показателя оптической плотности у поражен-ных животных, причем, у свиней в меньшей степени, чем у крупного рогатого скота, что объ-ясняется патологическим процессом в результате жизнедеятельности эхинококков, которые выделяют токсические белки и способствуют образованию экстрактов высокой оптической плотности.
Spring sadness
Creators: name: Lee, Noah Moon Young
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Spring Sadness is a novel centered on the themes of domestic violence, queerness, and the protagonist’s search for a more hospitable mode of being. Eunha, the novel’s narrator, is engaged in a struggle with her severe seasonal allergies, the symptoms of which become conflated, in her consciousness, with the violence she experiences at the hands of her partner Yura. While grappling with the perils and disturbances raised by her daily life, Eunha reflects on her injury and trauma and how ingrained into her being they have become. She explores various ways of expressing herself, using her knowledge of foreign languages and the mediums of poetry and letter-writing, and ultimately discovers a way of life that preserves her wellbeing while still acknowledging and recognizing the harm that she has endured.

description: We present the distributions of geometrical covering factors of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) dusty tori (f2) using an X-ray selected complete sample of 227 AGN drawn from the Bright Ultra-hard XMM-Newton Survey. The AGN have z from 0.05 to 1.7, 2-10 keV luminosities between 10^42 and 10^46 erg/s and Compton-thin X-ray absorption. Employing data from UKIDSS, 2MASS and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer in a previous work we determined the rest-frame 1-20 microns continuum emission from the torus which we model here with the clumpy torus models of Nenkova et al. Optically classified type 1 and type 2 AGN are intrinsically different, with type 2 AGN having on average tori with higher f2 than type 1 AGN. Nevertheless, ~20 per cent of type 1 AGN have tori with large covering factors while ~23-28 per cent of type 2 AGN have tori with small covering factors. Low f2 are preferred at high AGN luminosities, as postulated by simple receding torus models, although for type 2 AGN the effect is certainly small. f2 increases with the X-ray column density, which implies that dust extinction an X-ray absorption takes place in material that shares an overall geometry and most likely belongs to the same structure, the putative torus. Based on our results, the viewing angle, AGN luminosity and also f2 determine the optical appearance of an AGN and control the shape of the rest-frame ~1-20 microns nuclear continuum emission. Thus, the torus geometrical covering factor is a key ingredient of unification schemes.

description: Numerical analysis of data from international trade and ecological networks has shown that the non-linear fitness-complexity metric is the best candidate to rank nodes by importance in bipartite networks that exhibit a nested structure. Despite its relevance for real networks, the mathematical properties of the metric and its variants remain largely unexplored. Here, we perform an analytic and numeric study of the fitness-complexity metric and a new variant, called minimal extremal metric. We rigorously derive exact expressions for node scores for perfectly nested networks and show that these expressions explain the non-trivial convergence properties of the metrics. A comparison between the fitness-complexity metric and the minimal extremal metric on real data reveals that the latter can produce improved rankings if the input data are reliable.

description: Excerpts from the report: This report describes the condition and trends of the soil and water resources and related resources on the nonfederal lands of the United States. Nonfederal lands are the 77 percent of the total surface area of the Nation owned by private citizens, by businesses and industries, and by States, counties, cities, and other units of nonfederal government. The United States Department of Agriculture prepared this report in response to the requirements of the Resources Conservation Act of 1977 (RCA). This is the second report of the continuing appraisal required by that act, succeeding the first one published in 1981. This report summarizes the results of many separate studies, inventories, evaluations, and analyses conducted by or for several USDA agencies over the past 5 years. This document describes resource use, condition, and trends.

Convertir el paisaje en una patria. Pintores paisajistas en Cuba, 1850–1920
Creators: name: Duany, Jorge
Publisher: name: Confluenze. Rivista di Studi Iberoamericani
Year: 2022

description: La pintura paisajista se convirtió en una expresión artística de una identidad nacional en ciernes en Cuba durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Un “estilo cubano” de pintura surgió cuando la isla experimentó tres grandes guerras de independencia contra España (1868–98), así como la maduración de la economía de plantaciones azucareras y la abolición de la esclavitud en 1886. La representación romántica del entorno físico local como alegoría de la cubanidad devino un género clave de la pintura insular. Las características emblemáticas del campo cubano, como la palma real, la choza campesina y el pequeño agricultor independiente, se arraigaron en la pintura paisajista entre 1850 y 1920.

description: Delivering sub-micrometer particles to an intense x-ray focus is a crucial aspect of single-particle diffractive-imaging experiments at x-ray free-electron lasers. Enabling direct visualization of sub-micrometer aerosol particle streams without interfering with the operation of the particle injector can greatly improve the overall efficiency of single-particle imaging experiments by reducing the amount of time and sample consumed during measurements. We have developed in-situ non-destructive imaging diagnostics to aid real-time particle injector optimization and x-ray/particle-beam alignment, based on laser illumination schemes and fast imaging detectors. Our diagnostics are constructed to provide a non-invasive rapid feedback on injector performance during measurements, and have been demonstrated during diffraction measurements at the FLASH free-electron laser.

Supercritical fluids extraction and on-line methylation of long chain saturated/unsaturated fatty acids
Creators: name: Tian, Li
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Supercritical fluid extraction procedures for fatty acids have been investigated. The fast mass transfer rate, excellent solvating power and mild extraction conditions of supercritical fluids, using XAD-4 resin as the matrix, gives quantitative extraction of fatty acid methyl esters (chain length from 14 to 18). The extraction of 50 ppm level linoleic acid methyl ester was complete within 60 minutes at 300 atm and 70$\sp\circ$C with a recovery of 98% and a SD less than 5%. The extraction of free fatty acids by supercritical carbon dioxide requires higher temperature and higher pressure than that of methyl esters because of their polarity and hydrogen bonding. Using 5% hydrochloric acid in pure methanol to serve as a catalyst/methylation reagent on solid matrices of XAD-4 resin, the on-line methylation reaction of fatty acids with supercritical fluids was complete within 20 minutes at 70$\sp\circ$C. Applying the same mild conditions used for methyl esters, the methylation/extraction of fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, can be completed within 80 minutes with an overall recovery of 95% and a SD less than 7%. The fatty acids used for this study were myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. The effect of temperature on the extraction/methylation of fatty acids and the effect of static extraction time on the percentage recovery of fatty acids were studied. A comparison between supercritical carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide for on-line methylation of fatty acids was made. Both fluids give satisfactory results under identical conditions. The effect of methanol, hexane and methylene chloride on the extraction and methylation at different temperatures was studied. It was found that higher temperature (70$\sp\circ$C) facilitates the extraction. The effect of water on the extraction and methylation reaction was investigated and it was found that while trace amount of water (1-2 $\mu$l/ml) did not interfere the methylation, large amount of water ($>$2 $\mu$l/ml) interfered with the extraction of fatty acid methyl esters.

description: We investigate thermodynamics and Phase transition of the Reissner-Nordström black hole surrounded by quintessence. Using thermodynamical laws of black holes, we derive the expressions of some thermodynamics quantities for the Reissner-Nordström black hole surrounded by quintessence. The variations of the temperature and heat capacity with the entropy were plotted for different values of the state parameter related to the quintessence, $ω_{q}$, and the normalization constant related to the density of quintessence $c$. We show that when varying the entropy of the black hole a phase transition is observed in the black hole. Moreover, when increasing the density of quintessence, the transition point is shifted to lower entropy and the temperature of the black hole decreases.

Measuring the quantum state of a single system with minimum state disturbance
Creators: name: Schlosshauer, Maximilian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Conventionally, unknown quantum states are characterized using quantum-state tomography based on strong or weak measurements carried out on an ensemble of identically prepared systems. By contrast, the use of protective measurements offers the possibility of determining quantum states from a series of weak, long measurements performed on a single system. Because the fidelity of a protectively measured quantum state is determined by the amount of state disturbance incurred during each protective measurement, it is crucial that the initial quantum state of the system is disturbed as little as possible. Here we show how to systematically minimize the state disturbance in the course of a protective measurement, thus enabling the maximization of the fidelity of the quantum-state measurement. Our approach is based on a careful tuning of the time dependence of the measurement interaction and is shown to be dramatically more effective in reducing the state disturbance than the previously considered strategy of weakening the measurement strength and increasing the measurement time. We describe a method for designing the measurement interaction such that the state disturbance exhibits polynomial decay to arbitrary order in the inverse measurement time $1/T$. We also show how one can achieve even faster, subexponential decay, and we find that it represents the smallest possible state disturbance in a protective measurement. In this way, our results show how to optimally measure the state of a single quantum system using protective measurements.

description: Embora pertencentes a dois universos distintos, as poesias de Manoel de Barros e de Charles Baudelaire se tocam quando abordam a temática da infância. Em quase toda a obra de Barros, observa-se que a infância assume o controle da linguagem. Enquanto em Baudelaire, trata-se da criança que compõe a paisagem dos oprimidos. O presente artigo pretende, então, propor uma reflexão sobre o tema nessas duas obras literárias, que nos conduzem a questionamentos sobre o ideal de infância, sobretudo na literatura francesa do século XIX e na brasileira do século XX.

Radial pulsation as a function of hydrogen abundance

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Using linear non-adabatic pulsation analysis, we explore the radial-mode (p-mode) stability of stars across a wide range of mass (0.2 <= M <= 50 Msun), composition (0 <= X <= 0.7, Z=0.001, 0.02), effective temperature (3 000 <= T_eff <= 40 000 K), and luminosity (0.01 <= L/M <= 100,000 solar units).We identify the instability boundaries associated with low- to high-order radial oscillations (0 <= n <=16). The instability boundaries are a strong function of both composition and radial order (n). With decreasing hydrogen abundance we find that i) the classical blue edge of the Cepheid instability strip shifts to higher effective temperature and luminosity, and ii) high-order modes are more easily excited and small islands of high radial-order instability develop, some of which correspond with real stars. Driving in all cases is by the classical kappa-mechanism and/or strange modes. We identify regions of parameter space where new classes of pulsating variable may, in future, be discovered. The majority of these are associated with reduced hydrogen abundance in the envelope; one has not been identified previously.

description: A relationship between the Coulomb inclusive break-up probability and the radiative capture reaction rate for weakly-bound three-body systems is established. This direct link provides a robust procedure to estimate the reaction rate for nuclei of astrophysical interest by measuring inclusive break-up processes at different energies and angles. This might be an advantageous alternative to the determination of reaction rates from the measurement of $B(E1)$ distributions through exclusive Coulomb break-up experiments. In addition, it provides a reference to assess the validity of different theoretical approaches that have been used to calculate reaction rates. The procedure is applied to $^{11}$Li ($^{9}$Li+n+n) and $^6$He ($^{4}$He+n+n) three-body systems for which some data exist.

description: Academic and research libraries constantly strive for innovating their services based on research and development, for example by collaborating with researchers in funded projects. In particular, results from applied computer science may serve as a backbone for software-driven innovations. I will present a general model for transforming those results into information services and corresponding practices. There are two options for implementing the model: either by exposing research results as beta developments in a laboratory environment, or by conducting a transfer project for innovations to become integrated, effective and sustainable. Our approach identifies three levels of integrating research results in terms of software artefacts (data, service, application), each of them requiring commitment and contributions not only from researchers, but also from a library's management and operational staff. By means of a real-world example, I will illustrate the basic steps for transferring a research outcome, as well as some of the idiosyncrasies and indeterminism accounting for any transfer project.

description: We introduce a class of permutation centralizer algebras which underly the combinatorics of multi-matrix gauge invariant observables. One family of such non-commutative algebras is parametrised by two integers. Its Wedderburn-Artin decomposition explains the counting of restricted Schur operators, which were introduced in the physics literature to describe open strings attached to giant gravitons and were subsequently used to diagonalize the Gaussian inner product for gauge invariants of 2-matrix models. The structure of the algebra, notably its dimension, its centre and its maximally commuting sub-algebra, is related to Littlewood-Richardson numbers for composing Young diagrams. It gives a precise characterization of the minimal set of charges needed to distinguish arbitrary matrix gauge invariants, which are related to enhanced symmetries in gauge theory. The algebra also gives a star product for matrix invariants. The centre of the algebra allows efficient computation of a sector of multi-matrix correlators. These generate the counting of a certain class of bi-coloured ribbon graphs with arbitrary genus.

description: We study a simple model of a foraging animal that modifies the substrate on which it moves. This substrate provides its only resource, and the forager manage it by taking a limited portion at each visited site. The resource recovers its value after the visit following a relaxation law. We study different scenarios to analyze the efficiency of the managing strategy, corresponding to control the bite size. We observe the non trivial emergence of a home range, that is visited in a periodic way. The duration of the corresponding cycles and the transient until it emerges is affected by the bite size. Our results show that the most efficient use of the resource, measured as the balance between gathering and travelled distance, corresponds to foragers that take larger portions but without exhausting the resource. We also analyze the use of space determining the number of attractors of the dynamics, and we observe that it depends on the bite size and the recovery time of the resource.

As detected recently for a SQUID ratchet dynamics (Spiechowicz J. & Luczka J. Phys. Rev.

Even though these anomalies are transient effects, their lifetime can be many, many orders of magnitude longer than the characteristic time scale of the setup and turns out to be extraordinarily sensitive to the system parameters like temperature or the potential asymmetry. In the paper we reveal mechanisms of diffusion anomalies related to ergodicity of the system, symmetry breaking of the periodic potential and ultraslow relaxation of the particle velocity towards its steady state. Similar sequences of the diffusive behaviours could be detected in various systems including, among others, colloidal particles in random potentials, glass forming liquids and granular gases.

description: Laser Plasma Acceleration (LPA) [1] is an emerging concept enabling to generate electron beams with high energy, high peak current and small transverse emittance within a very short distance. The use of LPA can be applied to the Free Electron Laser (FEL) [2] case in order to investigate whether it is suitable for the light amplification in the undulator. However, capturing and guiding of such beams to the undulator is very challenging, because of the large divergence and high energy spread of the electron beams at the plasma exit, leading to large chromatic emittances. A specific beam manipulation scheme was recently proposed for the COXINEL (Coherent X-ray source inferred from electrons accelerated by laser) setup, which makes an advantage from the intrinsically large chromatic emittance of such beams [3]. The electron beam transport is studied using two simulation codes: a SOLEIL in-house one and ASTRA [4]. The influence of the collective effects on the electron beam performance is also examined.

description: Rising interest in gender equality in society has resulted in greater scrutiny of gender inequality in academic communities. Analysis of authorship of peer-reviewed publications shows that archaeology, like other academic fields, has long been dominated by men. We ask if gender disproportionality is evident in the topics presented by archaeologists at major conferences, particularly the Society of American Archaeology (SAA), the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), and the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) meetings. Does participants’ gender correlate with the topics of their presentations? We analyzed presenters’ names in published programs to infer gender. We used machine learning to identify topics from presentation titles. We found distinctive topics that are strongly associated with women, such as cultural heritage, GIS, and isotope analyses. Awareness of these correlations between research topics and gender is important to ensure equitable participation in archaeology and unbiased access to training opportunities for students.

Structure and function of the luteinizing hormone receptor
Creators: name: Zhang, Ran
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The relationship of structure and function of the rat luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) was studied by site-directed mutagenesis and expression of wild type and mutant receptors in mammalian COS1 cells and overexpression in the baculovirus-insect system. The levels of expression of the holoreceptor (form A) and its truncated splice variant (form B) in baculovirus-infected insect Sf9 cells were more than 120-fold greater than in mammalian COS1 cells. Both forms bound hCG with high affinity. The effect of N-linked glycosylation on hormone binding activity of the LHR was studied by mutating each of the six putative glycosylation sites. Functional glycosyl chains were present at positions 152 and 173. At least one oligosaccharide that is not required for hormone binding activity was present at Asn269, 277 or 291. The putative glycosylation site Asn77 was not glycosylated. The LHR form B expressed in insect cells contains only high mannose carbohydrate chains, which were sufficient for high-affinity hormone binding. Studies on refolding of the denatured and reduced LHR form B preparations demonstrated that only the proximal N-acetylglucosamine residue is required for regeneration of the high affinity hormone binding form of the LHR. Other studies revealed that Cys8, 12, 14 and 22 in exon 1 of the LHR were essential for hormone binding. In addition, mutation of Cys109 or Cys134 in exons 5 and 6 respectively, resulted in 75% reduction in hormone binding activity but did not affect the expression level and stability of mutant receptors. Cys257 and Cys258 (exon 9), Cys321 and Cys331 (exon 11), and Cys417 and Cys492 (exoplasmic loops 1 and 2, respectively) were found to be essential for receptor translocation and/or membrane insertion. Cys282 (exon 10) and Cys314 (Exon 11) were not required for either human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) binding or membrane insertion. Ligand blotting showed that denatured and reduced LHR form B but not form A could be refolded, indicating that cysteine residues located in the transmembrane and/or extracellular loops of the holoreceptor disrupt the correct formation of disulfide bonds as well as the conformation required for hormone binding.

description: Psychological skills training (PST) is a common and effective form of support provided by sports psychologists. Nevertheless, its use in helping support athletes with perfectionism and some of the problematic issues they can face is unknown. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of PST in reducing perfectionistic cognitions and improving emotional experiences in athletes. Using a single-subject multiple baseline research design, we recruited five national-level basketball players (M = 21.8 years) based on their concerns over mistakes (a key dimension of perfectionistic concerns). All participants received eight, one-to-one PST sessions over a four-week period. Participants completed self-report measures of perfectionistic cognitions, cognitive appraisals, pre-competition emotions, and performance satisfaction on a weekly basis, before, during, and after the intervention, as well as 3-months later. Results suggested that PST improved at least some of the cognitive appraisals, pre-competition emotions, and performance satisfaction in most participants. Minimal changes were observed for perfectionistic cognitions. The findings support the general use of PST but other interventions may be required to reduce perfectionistic cognitions. Lay summary: Perfectionistic concerns are related to performance and well-being difficulties in athletes. We used a short PST intervention to examine if it can improve the experiences of athletes selected based on their concern over mistakes. The intervention was effective for some aspects of their experiences, such as pre-competition emotions and performance satisfaction but less effective for the perfectionistic cognitions they reported. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICESport psychologists are better informed as to the effectiveness of PST when working with athletes.The effectiveness of PST varies based on the individual and the intended outcome.There is a need for more expert guidance on perfectionism for training sports psychologists.

description: A decrease in system size can induce qualitatively different behavior compared to the macroscopic behavior of the corresponding large-size system. The mechanisms of this transition, which is known as the small-size transition, can be attributed to either a relative increase in the noise intensity or to the discreteness of the state space due to the small system size. The former mechanism has been intensively investigated using several toy and realistic models. However, the latter has rarely been analyzed and is sometimes confused with the former, because a toy model that extracts the essence of the discreteness-induced transition mechanism is lacking. In this work, we propose a 1- and 3-body reaction system as a minimal model of the discreteness-induced transition and derive the conditions under which this transition occurs in more complex systems. This work enriches our understanding of the influence of small system size on system behavior.

description: La campagne scientifique NURSE est un dispositif du sous-programme de surveillance du descripteur 1 « Biodiversité – Poissons et céphalopodes ». Elle permet d'acquérir des données en vue du calcul des indicateurs nécessaires au renseignement des critères du bon état écologique pour le D1 (Décision 2017/848/UE). Cette campagne contribue également à la compréhension du fonctionnement des écosystèmes côtiers, au niveau régional (échelle d’une baie ou d'un bassin) et au niveau national (échelle inter-baies et inter-façades). La campagne SUIVINOUR s’inscrit dans un partenariat avec le Parc Naturel Marin d’Estuaire de la Gironde et de la Mer des Pertuis (PNM EGMP) visant à compléter annuellement l’échantillonnage des trois grands secteurs de nourriceries situés au sein du parc marin. En 2022, 180 opérations de pêche ont été réalisées dans les six nourriceries côtières du golfe de Gascogne. Elles ont permis la collecte des données concourant au suivi et à la compréhension du fonctionnement des nourriceries en zone côtière, ces habitats essentiels jouant un rôle déterminant dans le recrutement de juvéniles de plusieurs espèces halieutiques.

description: Με βάση την σύσταση του European Green Deal είναι δεδομένη η απαίτηση μετασχηματισμού των λειτουργιών του δημόσιου και του ιδιωτικού τομέα σε πρακτικές οι οποίες θα μειώσουν το περιβαλλοντικό τους αποτύπωμα. Μέσα από αυτή την εργασία θα εξετάσουμε την προοπτική αυτού του μετασχηματισμού των Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων που ιδιαίτερα στην περίπτωση της Ελλάδας λόγω της πολυχρησίας των μέσων τους, τα οποία βασίζονται κυρίως σε μη φιλικές προς το περιβάλλον τεχνολογίες αναφορικά με την λειτουργία τους, το επιβαρύνουν. Ως εκ τούτου λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν δοκιμασμένες σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο πρακτικές, που έχουν εκτελεστεί με επιτυχία και με μεθοδικότητα απέφεραν δραματική μείωση του περιβαλλοντικού αποτυπώματος για τις Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις αρκετών χωρών, θα εξετάσουμε την εφαρμογή αυτών στην περίπτωση της χωράς που σαν μέλος της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, θα πρέπει να συνδράμει στην μείωση κατά 55% των εκπομπών ρύπων του άνθρακα ως το 2030 με συνδρομή όλων των φορέων. Σκοπός αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να αναγνωρίσει πόσο αειφόρες μπορούν να καταστούν οι ΕΔ, με το να εφαρμόσουν τις πιο κάτω ανεπτυγμένες πρακτικές οι οποίες θα τους επιτρέψουν να μετουσιωθούν σε σύγχρονο, αποδοτικό και ανεπτυγμένο οργανισμό σε σχέση τόσο με τον δημόσιο, όσο και με τον ιδιωτικό τομέα. Αυτή η εξέλιξη θα έχει ως συνέπεια τον μετασχηματισμό των ΕΔ σε έναν ανανεωμένο οργανισμό με βιώσιμη προοπτική, η οποία θα προσδώσει δυνατότητα εξοικονόμησης σημαντικών πόρων με σκοπό την αξιοποίησή τους για εξοπλισμούς προκειμένου να διατηρηθεί η επιχειρησιακή δυναμική τους. Εξοπλισμούς οι οποίοι με τη σειρά τους θα διέπονται από βιώσιμη προοπτική με ‘‘πράσινη’’ τεχνολογία στις εφαρμογές τους.
