description: Hispanics are the fastest-growing minority group within the United States, and the present work studies the existence of intragroup biases within this community due to violations of prototypicality and the existence of colorism. The present work also explores identity denial as a possible mediator of the relationship between target prototypicality and negative social consequences. Especially, when presented with lighter-skin or darker-skin targets, Hispanic/Latinx individuals are more likely to see them as less likable, and less warm when compared to a prototypical target. There was no evidence to support that identity denial mediated this relationship. Additionally, this research extends previous literature on the content of stereotypes faced by individuals of differing skin colors and finds conflicting results using an intragroup sample. Unexpected results suggest prototypicality may trump phenotypic variations within this unique population.

description: We present a study of the photometric variability of spectroscopically confirmed supergiants in NGC 300, comprising 28 epochs extending over a period of five months. We find 15 clearly photometrically variable blue supergiants in a sample of nearly 70 such stars, showing maximum light amplitudes ranging from 0.08 to 0.23 magnitudes in the V band, and one variable red supergiant. We show their light curves, and determine semi-periods for two A2 Ia stars. Assuming that the observed changes correspond to similar variations in the bolometric luminosity, we test for the influence of this variability on the Flux-weighted Gravity--Luminosity Relationship and find a negligible effect, showing that the calibration of this relationship, which has the potential to measure extragalactic distances at the Cepheid accuracy level, is not affected by the stellar photometric variability in any significant way.

description: Romania’s accession to the EU meant a significant increase in both the volume and value of the Romanian agrifood trade, and a continuation and increase of the trade flows with the EU. On the other hand, although joining the Single Market meant the discontinuation of the free trade agreements that have been in force for the last 15 years with Republic of Moldova, Turkey, Israel, AELS etc., Romania kept its traditional extra-EU partners, under the new rules. Since the EU is the world largest agrifood products exporter, the present paper is analyzing the position of Romania among the other EU member countries in terms of values, quantities and directions. The competitiveness of the Romanian extra-community agrifood is analyzed as well, since it improved significantly for the last three years.

description: We present numerical studies of 3-dimensional electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) turbulence. We investigate cascade timescale and anisotropy of freely decaying strong EMHD turbulence with zero electron skin depth. Cascade time scales with $k^{-4/3}$. Our numerical results clearly show scale-dependent anisotropy. We discuss that the observed anisotropy is consistent with $k_{\|} \propto k_{\perp}^{1/3}$, where $k_{\|}$ and $k_{\perp}$ are wave numbers parallel and perpendicular to (local) mean magnetic field, respectively.

Asymmetric quantum telecloning of d-level systems and broadcasting of entanglement to different locations using the "many-to-many" communication protocol

description: We propose a generalization of quantum teleportation: the so-called many-to-many quantum communication of the information of a d-level system from N spatially separated senders to M>N receivers situated at different locations. We extend the concept of asymmetric telecloning from qubits to d-dimensional systems. We investigate the broadcasting of entanglement by using local 1->2 optimal universal asymmetric Pauli machines and show that the maximal fidelities of the two final entangled states are obtained when symmetric machines are applied. Cloning of entanglement is studied using a nonlocal optimal universal asymmetric cloning machine and we show that the symmetric machine optimally copies the entanglement. The "many-to-many" teleportation scheme is applied in order to distribute entanglement shared between two observers to two pairs of spatially separated observers.

description: Because of the ultra-low photon energies in the mid-infrared and terahertz frequencies, in these bands photodetectors are notoriously underdeveloped, and broadband single photon detectors (SPDs) are non-existent. Advanced SPDs exploit thermal effects in nano-structured superconductors, and their performance is currently limited to the more energetic near-infrared photons due to their high electronic heat capacity. Here, we demonstrate a superconducting magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MAG) device that is capable of detecting single photons of ultra-low energies by utilizing its record-low heat capacity and sharp superconducting transition. We theoretically quantify its calorimetric photoresponse and estimate its detection limits. This device allows the detection of ultra-broad range single photons from the visible to sub-THz with response time around 4 ns and energy resolution better than 1 THz. These attributes position MAG as an excep-tional material for long-wavelength single photon sensing, which could revolutionize such disparate fields as quantum information processing and radio astronomy.

description: Overlapped interrogates the cultural phenomenon of the golf course as a curated and bucolic emblem of Western landscape architectural methods and conceits. Relational landscape practices, such as cutting-edge emergent landscape systems and traditional ecological knowledge are raised as counterpoints. The site in question is the historically rich and sea-level threatened site of the Musqueam Golf & Learning Academy, which sits between two overlapping reserves: the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the Musqueam Indian Reserve. The 78-year project seeks to harness natural and human action onsite to restore habitat to restore and enhance kin-relationships contextual to this land and its original stewards: the Musqueam. Valuing relational and aggregative land practice over predetermined product, Overlapped seeks to redress golf’s maintenance schedule and bend the rules of the game, critically reconfiguring landscape architecture’s approach to site.

description: After approval of the Declaration of Independence (August 27, 1991), Moldova strives to strengthen its place among the democratic nations of the world and to reform the national economy. The appearance of the new socio-economic system open to the world, the triggering process to join the own efforts with the international community has produced arguably significant changes not only in nature, but also in the background, in the trade flows of agricultural products. Naturally, the trade of food products must be directed towards markets ensuring the free movement of products through progressive abolition of restrictions on trade between countries and/or groups of countries that head for balance the interests of producers and consumers. In the article the authors reflect on the market of food products, study the import and export of food products, search for the practice operation of the CIS market and Common Market, pursuant to which the authors come up with some proposals that would change the situation on the domestic food market for the better, and would accelerate the integration of the national market of agricultural goods in the EU Common Market.
The stability of Twitter metrics: A study on unavailable Twitter mentions of scientific publications

description: This paper investigates the stability of Twitter counts of scientific publications over time. For this, we conducted an analysis of the availability statuses of over 2.6 million Twitter mentions received by the 1,154 most tweeted scientific publications recorded by Altmetric.com up to October 2017. Results show that of the Twitter mentions for these highly tweeted publications, about 14.3% have become unavailable by April 2019. Deletion of tweets by users is the main reason for unavailability, followed by suspension and protection of Twitter user accounts. This study proposes two measures for describing the Twitter dissemination structures of publications: Degree of Originality (i.e., the proportion of original tweets received by a paper) and Degree of Concentration (i.e., the degree to which retweets concentrate on a single original tweet). Twitter metrics of publications with relatively low Degree of Originality and relatively high Degree of Concentration are observed to be at greater risk of becoming unstable due to the potential disappearance of their Twitter mentions. In light of these results, we emphasize the importance of paying attention to the potential risk of unstable Twitter counts, and the significance of identifying the different Twitter dissemination structures when studying the Twitter metrics of scientific publications.

description: Electrospinning is the process of ejecting a polymer melt or solution through a nozzle in the presence of a high-voltage electric field, which causes it to coalesce into a continuous filament with anywhere from a micron to submicron diameter, depending on the materials spun and experimental conditions. This process has gained vast attention because of its versatility, low cost, and ease of processing, leading to a huge demand for translating electrospinning experiments out of the laboratory and into commercialized production, and researchers have been thoroughly investigating scaling-up and fulfilling industrial production requirements in terms of throughput, accuracy, and formation of uniform coverage across a multi-nozzle system with vertical spinning. Our research group previously has developed the fabrication and characterization of submicron carbon nanotube (CNT)–epoxy nanocomposite filaments through an electrospinning process via a single nozzle, horizontal spray process. This is particularly challenging for multi-nozzle systems because each nozzle generates its own standing electric field, leading to electric field gaps (and consequently areas of no coverage) between horizontal nozzles regardless of their spacing. Here in this study, we introduce the scale-up fabrication procedure to identify the most efficient way to address the large volume processing, reproducibility and accuracy, and safety of electrospinning. The electric fields of the experimental multi-nozzle setups were simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics® software to understand the induced surface charges that cause the Taylor cone of the Epoxy/CNT solution to drop on the tip of the nozzles. The electrospinning parameters were also optimized for the multi-nozzle system and analyzed with simulated data to improve stability and fabricate smaller diameter fibers.

description: We perform the analysis of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the half-line with time-dependent boundary conditions along the lines of the nonlinear method of images with the help of Bäcklund transformations. The difficulty arising from having such time-dependent boundary conditions at $x=0$ is overcome by changing the viewpoint of the method and fixing the Bäcklund transformation at infinity as well as relating its value at $x=0$ to a time-dependent reflection matrix. The interplay between the various aspects of integrable boundary conditions is reviewed in detail to brush a picture of the area. We find two possible classes of solutions. One is very similar to the case of Robin boundary conditions whereby solitons are reflected at the boundary, as a result of an effective interaction with their images on the other half-line. The new regime of solutions supports the existence of one soliton that is not reflected at the boundary but can be either absorbed or emitted by it. We demonstrate that this is a unique feature of time-dependent integrable boundary conditions.

description: Accurate particle identification (PID) is one of the most important aspects of the LHCb experiment. Modern machine learning techniques such as neural networks (NNs) are efficiently applied to this problem and are integrated into the LHCb software. In this research, we discuss novel applications of neural network speed-up techniques to achieve faster PID in LHC upgrade conditions. We show that the best results are obtained using variational dropout sparsification, which provides a prediction (feedforward pass) speed increase of up to a factor of sixteen even when compared to a model with shallow networks.

description: I give here a detailed user guide for the C++ program SHdecay, which has been developed for computing the final spectra of stable particles (protons, photons, LSPs, electrons, neutrinos of the three species and their antiparticles) arising from the decay of a super-heavy X particle. It allows to compute in great detail the complete decay cascade for any given decay mode into particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In particular, it takes into account all interactions of the MSSM during the perturbative cascade (including not only QCD, but also the electroweak and 3rd generation Yukawa interactions), and includes a detailed treatment of the SUSY decay cascade (for a given set of parameters) and of the non-perturbative hadronization process. All these features allow us to ensure energy conservation over the whole cascade up to a numerical accuracy of a few per mille. Yet, this program also allows to restrict the computation to QCD or SUSY-QCD frameworks. I detail the input and output files, describe the role of each part of the program, and include some advice for using it best.

description: Quantum computing will change the way we tackle certain problems. It promises to dramatically speed-up many chemical, financial, and machine-learning applications. However, to capitalize on those promises, complex design flows composed of steps such as compilation, decomposition, or mapping need to be employed before being able to execute a conceptual quantum algorithm on an actual device. This results in descriptions at various levels of abstraction which may significantly differ from each other. The complexity of the underlying design problems necessitates to not only provide efficient solutions for the single steps, but also to verify that the originally intended functionality is preserved throughout all levels of abstraction. This motivates methods for equivalence checking of quantum circuits. However, most existing methods are inspired by the classical realm and have merely been extended to support quantum circuits (i.e., circuits which do not only rely on 0's and 1's, but also employ superposition and entanglement). In this work, we propose an advanced methodology which takes the different paradigms of quantum circuits not only as a burden, but as an opportunity. In fact, the proposed methodology explicitly utilizes characteristics unique to quantum computing in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing approaches. We show that, by exploiting the reversibility of quantum circuits, complexity can be kept feasible in many cases. Moreover, we show that, in contrast to the classical realm, simulation is very powerful in verifying quantum circuits. Experimental evaluations confirm that the resulting methodology allows one to conduct equivalence checking dramatically faster than ever before--in many cases just a single simulation run is sufficient. An implementation of the proposed methodology is publicly available at https://iic.jku.at/eda/research/quantum_verification/.

description: Secondary anisotropies of the CMB have the potential to reveal intricate details about the history of our universe between the present and recombination epochs. However, because the CMB we observe is the projected sum of a multitude of effects, the interpretation of small scale anisotropies by future high resolution experiments will be marred by uncertainty and speculation without the handles provided by other observations. In this paper we show that cross correlating the CMB with an overlapping weak lensing survey will isolate the elusive kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from secondary anisotropies generated at higher redshifts. We show that if upcoming high angular resolution CMB experiments, like PLANCK/ACT/SPT, cover the same area of sky as current and future weak lensing surveys, like CFTHLS/SNAP/LSST, the cross correlation of cosmic shear with the kSZ effect will be detected with high signal to noise ratio, increasing the potential science accessible to both sets of surveys. For example, if ACT and a CFHTLS like survey were to overlap this cross-correlation would be detected with a total signal to noise ratio greater than 220, reaching 1.8 per individual multipole around l \sim 5000. Furthermore, this cross-correlation probes the three point coupling between the underlying dark matter and the "momentum" of the ionized baryons in the densest regions of the universe at intermediate redshifts. Similar to the tSZ power spectrum, its strength is extremely sensitive to the power spectrum normalization parameter, σ_8, scaling roughly as σ_8^7. It provides an effective mechanism to isolate any component of anisotropy due to patchy reionization and rule out primordial small scale anisotropy.

In parallel several open source authoring tools offer a quick and easy production of this type of content. As such, our contribution is to mediatize a course i.e. 'English' with the authoring system 'Xerte' which is intended both for simple users and developers in ActionScript. An experiment of course is conducted on a sample of a private school's students. At the end of this experience, we administered a questionnaire to evaluate the device, the results obtained, evidenced by the favorable reception of interactive multimedia integration in educational content.

description: We define a CP sensitive asymmetry in the sfermion decays $\ti f \to f \tiχ^0_j \ell \bar \ell, f \tiχ^0_j q \bar q$, based on triple product correlations between the momenta of the outgoing fermions. We study this asymmetry in the MSSM with complex parameters. We show that the asymmetry is sensitive to the phases of the parameters $μ$ and $M_1$. The leading contribution stems from the decay chain $\ti f\to f \tiχ^0_j\to f \tiχ^0_1 Z\to f \tiχ^0_1 \ell \bar \ell (f \tiχ^0_1 q \bar q)$, for which we obtain analytic formulae for the amplitude squared. The asymmetry can go up to 3% for $\ti f\to f \tiχ^0_1 \ell \bar \ell$, and up to 20% for $\ti f\to f \tiχ^0_1 q \bar q$. We also estimate the rates necessary to measure the asymmetry.

description: We present a sample of 446 galaxy pairs constructed using the cosmological simulation IllustrisTNG-100 at z = 0, with M$_{FoF, dm}$ = 10$^{11}$-10$^{13.5}$ M$_{\odot}$. We produce ideal mock SDSS g-band images of all pairs to test the reliability of visual classification schema employed to produce samples of interacting galaxies. We visually classify each image as interacting or not based on the presence of a close neighbour, the presence of stellar debris fields, disturbed discs, and/or tidal features. By inspecting the trajectories of the pairs, we determine that these indicators correctly identify interacting galaxies $\sim45\%$ of the time. We subsequently split the sample into the visually identified interacting pairs (VIP; 38 pairs) and those which are interacting but are not visually identified (nonVIP; 47 pairs). We find that VIP have undergone a close passage nearly twice as recently as the nonVIP, and typically have higher stellar masses. Further, the VIP sit in dark matter haloes that are approximately 2.5 times as massive, in environments nearly 2 times as dense, and are almost a factor of 10 more affected by the tidal forces of their surroundings than the nonVIP. These factors conspire to increase the observability of tidal features and disturbed morphologies, making the VIP more likely to be identified. Thus, merger rate calculations which rely on stellar morphologies are likely to be significantly biased toward massive galaxy pairs which have recently undergone a close passage.

description: The quantum phases of superconductivity and superfluidity are characterised mathematically by the Yang concept of Off-Diagonal Long Range Order (ODLRO), related to the existence of a large eigenvalue of the density matrix. We analyse how the Yang criterion applies for various Hamiltonians commonly employed to describe superfluid-type correlations in atomic nuclei. For like-particle pairing Hamiltonians the behaviour of the largest eigenvalue of two-body density matrix shows a clear evidence for a transition between a normal to a paired phase. However, this is not the case for the isoscalar proton-neutron pairing interactions acting in self-conjugate nuclei.

Greyish-white pubescence denser on apex of scape, pronotum, elytral humeri, apical fourth of elytra, apex of femora, sides of mesosternum and metepisternum. Pronotum provided with three glabrous black spots at base, of which the middle one near middle is small. Elytra mostly clothed with blackish-brown mixed greyish-yellow pubescence on basal three-fourths, irregularly interspersed with greyish-white pubescent spots. Abdominal ventrites dotted with greyish-white pubescent spots on both sides. Head slightly rugose-punctate, with a pair of small tubercles on vertex between the eyes. Pronotum slightly wider than long between lateral spines, distinctly constricted at about apical fifth, with a coniform spine on middle of each side; anterior two protuberances on disc with anterior slope relatively gentle. Elytra about 1.9 times as long as humeral width, with sides subparallel in basal two-thirds, thence converging more strongly towards apices; surface strongly and closely punctate on basal three-fourths, inconspicuously on apical fourth. Legs long, femora slightly clavate, somewhat constricted apically.
Type material examined.

description: With the escalating climate crisis, we are in desperate need of new technologies and solutions that will bring down greenhouse gas emissions in all aspects of our everyday lives. The energy sector is responsible for over 27% of the greenhouse gas emissions released annually and we are needing more energy than ever before to power our urban lives. We need to find solutions to keep up with demand when deploying renewable energy technologies, like solar panels on buildings, won’t be enough. We need these renewable technologies everywhere and powering everything. In most cities, over 30% of land is city owned public space. This accounts for a lot of area that is currently under utilized for roads, sidewalks, parks, and auxiliary public spaces. How can small scale renewable energy solutions and technologies be integrated into our urban landscapes while reducing habitat and ecological impacts, increasing efficiencies and equitability in energy use, and above else enhancing a community’s public realm and shared spaces? By analyzing current methods of energy production, evaluating the latest and best clean energy technologies, and thoughtfully selecting pilot sites and locations to deploy these new technologies, a comprehensive community can then be developed that mindfully and seamlessly integrates these energy solutions. This project aims to be a useful handbook for designing and discussing how small-scale technologies and innovations can be implemented into all scales of our everyday lives, from regions, to cities, to streets, to our very own yards, parks and streets.

description: We determine the conditions under which the presence of long-range interactions reduce the energy losses due to defect generation during non-adiabatic evolution, crucial for enhancing the power to efficiency ratio of quantum thermal devices. In order to do so, we investigate the response of long-range systems to diverse external drivings, emphasizing their robustness against dynamic excitation in comparison to generic local systems. This phenomenon is demonstrated through the study of the quantum work statistics, revealing insights into energy transfer efficiency and dynamical quantum criticality. Our results demonstrate the benefits of including a long-range interacting medium for quantum thermodynamics application, highlighting the potential to optimize finite-time quantum thermal cycles. Thanks to the effective dimension approach our findings can be drawn in full generality and, then, specified to different experimentally relevant scenarios.

description: The osmotic energy of cane molasses was used to drive the partial dewatering of sugarcane juice by Forward Osmosis. The studies were conducted at low molasses to juice ratio considering their relative abundances. Studies in recirculation mode provided insight into the maximum possible extent of dewatering and the variation of permeate flux (Jw) with bulk osmotic pressure difference. Operation in continuous single pass (CSP) mode helped maximise the throughput and Jw. Data on permeation selectivity, back diffusion and osmotic energy use efficiency were additionally obtained for both modes of operation. The optimised CSP mode process was evaluated in a sugar mill employing commercial process streams. Energy saving – owing to reduced juice evaporation load – and freshwater saving – owing to simultaneous dilution of molasses – were the twin gains from the process considering sugar and ethanol as the final products. Areas of process improvement were identified.

description: A key issue for Kosovo’s economic future is how to provide the maximum benefit for local enterprises through the liberalization and globalization of product markets. Data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry clearly show that most enterprises in Kosovo are of micro, small and medium size and the problems they face fall into two categories: the first one is to determine if they can participate in production for local and regional markets or do they remain excluded? And the second one is related to the fact that our economy is facing high levels of trade deficit, which continues to have a negative impact on economic growth, and because our SMEs are mainly based on trade and services, they have limited capacities to create added value to the economy and generate new jobs. In addition to addressing the questions, the paper tries to provide a thorough explanation of ways of enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs in rural areas of Kosovo based on the field study, research reports, country strategies and views of several scholars. Recent studies have proved the relation and impact of SMEs in the development of rural areas. The paper is divided into three sections and ends with a conclusion. The first section reviews the different usage of the terms SMEs from different theories and dimensions. The second section deals with the results of 308 interviews randomly conducted all around Kosovo. In addition the questionnaire was prepared and tested in advance in order to avoid any useless questions, and to provide information regarding the types, reasons, and the problems that the SMEs are facing. The paper concludes with some personal reflections and conclusions drawn on this topic.

description: To ensure uninterrupted services to the cloud clients from federated cloud providers, it is important to guarantee an efficient allocation of the cloud resources to users to improve the rate of client satisfaction and the quality of the service provisions. It is better to get as more computing and storage resources as possible. In cloud domain several Multi Agent Resource Allocation methods have been proposed to implement the problem of dynamic resource allocation. However the problem is still open and many works to do in this field. In cloud computing robustness is important so in this paper we focus on auto-adaptive method to deal with changes of open federated cloud computing environment. Our approach is hybrid, we first adopt an existing organizations optimization approach for self organization in broker agent organization to combine it with already existing Multi Agent Resource Allocation approach on Federated Clouds. We consider an open clouds federation environment which is dynamic and in constant evolution, new cloud operators can join the federation or leave this one. At the same time our approach is multi criterion which can take in account various parameters (i.e. computing load balance of mediator agent, geographical distance (network delay) between costumer and provider...).

description: We report spectroscopic redshifts for 18 microJy-radio galaxies at mean redshift of z=2.2 that are faint at both submmillimeter (submm) and optical wavelengths. While the radio fluxes of these galaxies could indicate far-infrared (far-IR) luminosities comparable to high-redshift submillimeter-selected galaxies (>10^12 Lsun), none are detected in the submm. We propose that this new population of galaxies represents an extension of the high-redshift submm galaxy population, but with hotter characteristic dust temperatures that shift the peak of their far-IR emission to shorter wavelengths, reducing the submm flux below the sensitivity of current instruments. Therefore, surveys in the submm waveband may miss up to half of the most luminous, dusty galaxies at z~2. Mid-infrared observations with Spitzer will be a powerful tool to test this hypothesis.
