description: Il Futurismo è stato oggetto di numerosi studi nel corso del tempo, ma la prima ricognizione capace di estendere la propria visione oltre i confini del nostro paese si ebbe nel 1986 con la mostra Futurismo & Futurismi, tenutasi a Palazzo Grassi a Venezia. Fu in quella occasione che ci si rese conto che testimonianze futuriste potevano essere rintracciate non solo in Unione Sovietica, ma anche in Giappone, Svezia, Argentina, Stati Uniti, e in diverse altre parti del mondo. In America, in particolare, il movimento di Marinetti influenzò profondamente i lavori dei primi modernisti – Max Weber, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, James Daugherty, ecc. – grazie a una serie di fattori che giocarono un ruolo chiave nella sua diffusione: primo su tutti, la stampa, mezzo attraverso cui tenersi aggiornati anche sulle nuove tendenze d’oltreoceano; poi l’Armory Show di New York del 1913 e la Panama-Pacific International Exposition di San Francisco del 1915, prime manifestazioni americane dedicate anche alle espressioni artisti-che del Vecchio Continente; infine, il fenomeno migratorio, riferito sia agli italiani che giunsero negli Stati Uniti, sia agli americani che soggiornarono per brevi periodi in Europa, qui identificato dal fondamentale operato degli artisti Athos Casarini e Joseph Stella.

description: The Canada-France High-z Quasar Survey (CFHQS) is an optical survey designed to locate quasars during the epoch of reionization. In this paper we present the discovery of the first four CFHQS quasars at redshift greater than 6, including the most distant known quasar, CFHQS J2329-0301 at z=6.43. We describe the observational method used to identify the quasars and present optical, infrared, and millimeter photometry and optical and near-infrared spectroscopy. We investigate the dust properties of these quasars finding an unusual dust extinction curve for one quasar and a high far-infrared luminosity due to dust emission for another. The mean millimeter continuum flux for CFHQS quasars is substantially lower than that for SDSS quasars at the same redshift, likely due to a correlation with quasar UV luminosity. For two quasars with sufficiently high signal-to-noise optical spectra, we use the spectra to investigate the ionization state of hydrogen at z>5. For CFHQS J1509-1749 at z=6.12, we find significant evolution (beyond a simple extrapolation of lower redshift data) in the Gunn-Peterson optical depth at z>5.4. The line-of-sight to this quasar has one of the highest known optical depths at z~5.8. An analysis of the sizes of the highly-ionized near-zones in the spectra of two quasars at z=6.12 and z=6.43 suggest the IGM surrounding these quasars was substantially ionized before these quasars turned on. Together, these observations point towards an extended reionization process, but we caution that cosmic variance is still a major limitation in z>6 quasar observations.

description: The topological transition in the strongly correlated half-metallic ferromagnetic compound Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ from Weyl semimetal (including chiral massless fermions) to a non-magnetic state is treated. This transition goes with a change in topological invariant, and is accompanied by a non-topological transition from saturated ferromagnetic to paramagnetic state, the minority Fermi surface being transformed from ghost (hidden) to real. A corresponding description is given in terms of slave fermion representation for the effective narrow-band Hubbard model. The system Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ provides a bright example of coexistence of non-trivial topology and strong low-dimensional ferromagnetism. A comparison is performed with other compounds where frustrations result in formation of a correlated paramagnetic state.

description: We propose a dynamical approach to quantum memories using an oscillator-cavity model. This overcomes the known difficulties of achieving high quantum input-output fidelity with storage times long compared to the input signal duration. We use a generic model of the memory response, which is applicable to any linear storage medium ranging from a superconducting device to an atomic medium. The temporal switching or gating of the device may either be through a control field changing the coupling, or through a variable detuning approach, as in more recent quantum memory experiments. An exact calculation of the temporal memory response to an external input is carried out. This shows that there is a mode-matching criterion which determines the optimum input and output mode shape. This optimum pulse shape can be modified by changing the gate characteristics. In addition, there is a critical coupling between the atoms and the cavity that allows high fidelity in the presence of long storage times. The quantum fidelity is calculated both for the coherent state protocol, and for a completely arbitrary input state with a bounded total photon number. We show how a dynamical quantum memory can surpass the relevant classical memory bound, while retaining a relatively long storage time.

description: Quantifying the flux of cosmic rays reaching exoplanets around M dwarfs is essential to understand their possible effects on exoplanet habitability. Here, we investigate the propagation of Galactic cosmic rays as they travel through the stellar winds (astrospheres) of five nearby M dwarfs, namely: GJ 15A, GJ 273, GJ 338B, GJ 411 and GJ 887. Our selected stars each have 1 or 2 detected exoplanets and they all have wind mass-loss rates constrained by Lyman-alpha observations. Our simulations use a combined 1D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Alfvén-wave-driven stellar wind model and 1D cosmic ray transport model. We find that GJ 411 and GJ 887 have Galactic cosmic rays fluxes comparable with Earth's at their habitable zones. On the other hand, GJ 15A, GJ 273 and GJ 338B receive a lower Galactic cosmic ray flux in their habitable zones. All exoplanets in our sample, with exception of GJ 15A c and GJ 411 c, have a significantly lower flux of Galactic cosmic rays than values observed at the Earth because they orbit closer-in. The fluxes found here can be further used for chemical modelling of planetary atmospheres. Finally, we calculate the radiation dose at the surface of the habitable-zone planet GJ 273 b, assuming it has an Earth-like atmosphere. This planet receives up to 209 times less 15 MeV energy cosmic ray fluxes than values observed at Earth. However, for high-energy cosmic rays (~ GeV), the difference in flux is only 2.3 times smaller, which contributes to GJ 273 b receiving a significant surface radiation dose of 0.13 mSv/yr (40% of the annual dose on Earth's surface).

description: It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of X and Y endowed with a strictly monotone norm enjoys the weak fixed point property. The same conclusion is valid if X admits a 1-unconditional basis.

Some aspects of snowshoe hare behavioural ecology
Creators: name: Graf, Ronald Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objectives of the study were to describe the agonistic interactions of the snowshoe hare, Lepus americanus, to describe the social structure of the hares, and by experiments to determine if these interactions might affect hare population dynamics. I built two 30 x 30 metre enclosures to gather initial descriptions of agonistic interactions, and to perform experiments in a controlled situation. I observed wild hares and performed some experiments in the field to confirm the results of pen observations. Agonistic interactions were stereotyped and occurred in both penned and wild hares. Interactions occurred over access to food, water, resting spots, and right-of-way. The hares formed dominance hierarchies in the pens and in the wild, with males being most dominant in the winter and females being most dominant during the spring and summer. Hares were aggressive with up to 23 interactions per hour observed at a feeding station in the wild. A mating experiment in an enclosure showed the dominant male to be responsible for most copulations. Subordinate males were behaviourally prevented from copulating by the dominant males. The courtship itself involved fast chases by several males after an oestrous female, with high levels of aggression occurring between the males (94 interactions per hour). At the end of each female's oestrous she became extremely aggresssive to further approaches by males. Similar, but less complete, courtship sequences were seen in the wild which suggests that the captive animals provided a reasonable description of mating events. At high population densities the extreme male competition for oestrous females may have some effect on mortality. Wild juveniles were introduced into enclosures containing resident juveniles and adults to mimic a situation in which juveniles disperse into a new area. All 30 introduced juveniles were harrassed by the residents, both adults and juveniles. I observed similar interactions between adults and juveniles in the wild, but was unaware of their residential status. This experiment suggests there is a behavioural mechanism for preventing the recruitment of non-resident juveniles into a population.

description: IRAC excels at detecting distant objects. Due to a combination of the shapes of the spectral energy distributions of galaxies and the low background achieved from space, IRAC reaches greater depth in comparable exposure time at 3.6 and 4.5 micron than any ground- or space-based facility currently can at 2.2 micron. Furthermore, the longer wavelengths probed by IRAC enable studies of the rest-frame optical and near-infrared light of galaxies and AGN to much higher redshift than is possible from the ground. This white paper explores the merits of different survey strategies for studying the distant universe during the warm mission. A three-tiered approach serves a wide range of science goals and uses the spacecraft effectively: 1) an ultra-deep survey of ~0.04 square degrees to a depth of ~250 hrs (in conjunction with an HST/WFC3 program), to study the Universe at 76 and characterize the relation between the build-up of dark matter halos and their constituent galaxies at 2

description: We investigate the effect of a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate on a system of immersed impurity atoms trapped by an optical lattice. We analytically show that for a one-dimensional, ring-shaped setup the coupling of the impurities to the Bogoliubov phonons of the condensate leads to a non-trivial phase in the impurity hopping. The presence of this phase can be tested by observing a drift in the transport properties of the impurities. These results are quantitatively confirmed by a numerically exact simulation of a two-mode Bose-Hubbard model. We also give analytical expressions for the occurring phase terms for a two-dimensional setup. The phase realises an artificial magnetic field and can for instance be used for the simulation of the quantum Hall effect using atoms in an optical lattice.

description: We have carried out a systematic search for the molecular ion CO+ in a sample of 8 protoplanetary and planetary nebulae in order to determine the origin of the unexpectedly strong HCO+ emission previously detected in these sources. An understanding of the HCO+ chemistry may provide direct clues to the physical and chemical evolution of planetary nebulae. We find that the integrated intensity of the CO+ line may be correlated with that of HCO+, suggesting that the reaction of CO+ with molecular hydrogen may be an important formation route for HCO+ in these planetary nebulae.

description: The presence of magnetic fields in O-type stars has been suspected for a long time. The discovery of such fields would explain a wide range of well documented enigmatic phenomena in massive stars, in particular cyclical wind variability, H alpha emission variations, chemical peculiarity, narrow X-ray emission lines and non-thermal radio/X-ray emission. To investigate the incidence of magnetic fields in O stars, we acquired 38 new spectropolarimetric observations with FORS1 (FOcal Reducer low dispersion Spectrograph) mounted on the 8-m Kueyen telescope of the VLT. Spectropolarimetric observations have been obtained at different phases for a sample of 13 O stars. 10 stars were observed in the spectral range 348-589nm, HD36879 and HD148937 were observed in the spectral region 325-621nm, and HD155806 was observed in both settings. To prove the feasibility of the FORS1 spectropolarimetric mode for the measurements of magnetic fields in hot stars, we present in addition 12 FORS1 observations of the mean longitudinal magnetic field in theta^1 Ori C and compare them with measurements obtained with the MuSiCoS, ESPaDOnS and Narval spectropolarimeters. Most stars in our sample which have been observed on different nights show a change of the magnetic field polarity, but a field at a significance level of 3sigma has been detected only in four stars, HD36879, HD148937, HD152408, and HD164794. The largest longitudinal magnetic field, = -276+-88G, was detected in the Of?p star HD148937. We conclude that large-scale organised magnetic fields with polar field strengths larger than 1kG are not widespread among O-type stars.

description: We investigate from first principles the optoelectronic properties of nanometer-sized armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). We show that many-body effects are essential to correctly describe both energy gaps and optical response. As a signature of the confined geometry, we observe strongly bound excitons dominating the optical spectra, with a clear family dependent binding energy. Our results demonstrate that GNRs constitute 1D nanostructures whose absorption and luminescence performance can be controlled by changing both family and edge termination.

description: Consider the nonlinear regression model $Y_i=g({\bf x}_i,\boldmath $θ$)+e_i,\quad i=1,...,n$(1) with ${\bf x}_i\in \mathbb{R}^k,$ $\boldmathθ=(θ_0,θ_1,...,θ_p)^{\prime}\in \boldmath $Θ$$ (compact in $\mathbb{R}^{p+1}$), where $g({\bf x},\boldmath $θ$)=θ_0+\tilde{g}({\bf x},θ_1,...,θ_p)$ is continuous, twice differentiable in $\boldmath $θ$$ and monotone in components of $\boldmath $θ$$. Following Gutenbrunner and Jurečková (1992) and Jurečková and Procházka (1994), we introduce regression rank scores for model (1), and prove their asymptotic properties under some regularity conditions. As an application, we propose some tests in nonlinear regression models with nuisance parameters.

Description
Live sponge irregularly massive (Fig. 14 A–D). Color from light or vivid blue to brown; the surface is often covered by epibionths which hide the superficial sponge color. The samples preserved in alcohol are beige with a greenish shade. The surface is uneven, the consistence is tough and uncompressible.
SKELETON. Ectosome consisting of phyllotriaenes and strongyles organized in a layer with numerous rhabds (Fig. 14 E–F). Choanosome formed by tetraclone desmas and brushes of strongyles (Fig. 14 G–H).
SPICULES. Phyllotriaenes 80–(139.1)– 185 µm (Fig. 14 E–F); desmas tuberculate and with rounded tips 125–(201.6)–300 × 15–20 µm (Fig. 14 G–H); smooth and slightly curved strongyles (Fig. 14I), 275– (355, 77.2)– 530 µm × 4. 8–(6.25, 1.3)– 8 µm, often with slightly enlarged extremities; rhabds (Fig. 14J) are straight or bent in the middle and microspined, 8–(14.5)– 19 µm.
Remarks
This sponge is widespread in the studied area; it fits with the species Theonella timmi as recently described by Samaai et al. (2019) from South Africa for its blue color, both interior and exterior, and for the shape and size of its spicules.

Comparison of thermal process evaluation methods for conduction heating foods in cylindrical containers
Creators: name: Smith, Trudi

description: Five formula methods and three numerical general methods for determining thermal process lethality were compared with a reference method to demonstrate their applicability to conduction heating foods in cylindrical containers. Hypothetical centerpoint temperature history curves for cans with height to diameter (H/D) ratios of 0.1 to 3.0 were generated for a range of processing conditions using computer simulation. A finite-difference model based on Teixeira et al. (1969b) was used as the basis of the simulation program. The delivered lethality to an organism characterized by Z=10C° was evaluated using each of the methods and compared to the lethality calculated using the reference method. For each of the test methods, simulation data were provided for one minute intervals, but for the reference method, data were provided for intervals of 0.05 min. Each of the selected formula methods was adapted to allow calculations to be done by computer without operator intervention. The most significant part of this adaptation was the development of a system that enabled the computer to select the linear portion of the heat penetration curve to facilitate calculation of the parameters f and j which are required by all of the formula methods. A method for handling large tables was also developed for use with some of the formula methods. For the general methods, the deviations from the reference method were greatest when the heating rate index (fh) and H/D were small and the unaccomplished temperature difference (g) was large. Whereas the the value of fh was the most significant factor affecting the accuracy of calculations done using the general method, it did not greatly affect the performance of the formula methods. The factors that most significantly influenced deviations between the formula methods and the reference method were H/D and g. The largest deviations in all cases occurred when g was large and H/D was close to unity. These errors were mostly on the "safe" side, but the energy use implications could be significant, especially for high retort temperature processes.

description: We report a late M-type, common proper motion companion to a nearby young visual binary HIP 115147 (V368 Cep), separated by 963 arcseconds from the primary K0 dwarf. This optically dim star has been identified as a candidate high proper motion, nearby dwarf LSPM J2322+7847 by L{é}pine in 2005. The wide companion is one of the latest post-T Tauri low mass stars found within 20 pc. We obtain a trigonometric parallax of $51.6\pm0.8$ mas, in good agreement with the Hipparcos parallax of the primary star ($50.7\pm0.6$ mas). Our $BVRI$ photometric data and near-infrared data from 2MASS are consistent with LSPM J2322+7847 being brighter by 1 magnitude in $K_s$ than field M dwarfs at $V-K_s=6.66$, which indicates its pre-main sequence status. We conclude that the most likely age of the primary HIP 115147 and its 11-arcsecond companion HIP 115147B is 20-50 Myr. The primary appears to be older than its close analog PZ Tel (age 12-20 Myr) and members of the TWA association (7 Myr).

description: Cancer survivors including Asian American breast cancer survivors have reported their high needs for help during their survivorship process. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity of technology-based programs to address their needs for help without face-to-face interactions has been highlighted. The purpose of this randomized intervention study was to determine the efficacy of a technology-based program in reducing various types of needs for help among this specific population. This was a randomized clinical trial with repeated measures. A total of 199 participants were included in the data analysis. The recruitment settings included both online and offline communities/groups for Asian Americans. The needs for help were assessed using the Support Care Needs Survey-34 Short Form (SCNS) subscales measuring psychological, information, physical, support, and communication needs. Data analysis was conducted through an intent-to-treat approach. In the mixed effect models, psychological needs, information needs, physical needs, and communication needs decreased over time (P < .001). However, there were no significant group * time effects. Social support significantly mediated the effects of a technology-based intervention on psychological, information, and support needs at the pre-test and the post-1 month. This study supported significant decreases in the needs for help of Asian American breast cancer survivors by a technology-based intervention. Further studies are needed with other racial/ethnic groups of cancer survivors to confirm the efficacy of a technology-based intervention in reducing cancer survivors’ needs for help during their survivorship process.

Description
The sponge is lamellate, erect or massive (Fig. 18 A–C). Oscules visible in the live specimens are small, slightly elevated and transparent (Fig. 18B). The sponge is brownish-orange in color and has an areolate surface (Fig. 18A). The samples preserved in alcohol are dark brown and have a stone-like consistence, but are friable and maintain the areolate surface; the abundant presence of sediment is clearly evident.
SKELETON. The ectosome and the choanosome are almost completely made by columns of grains, with brushes of spicules close to the surface.
SPICULES. Thin strongyles (Fig. 18D) with sometimes blunted tips (Fig. 18E), 90–(123.5, 15.3)–150 μm× 3–(4.75, 1)–6.5 μm; C-shaped sigmas of two sizes (Fig. 18F): 40–55 μm and 20–25 μm.
Remarks
The examined material fits the original description of Chondropsis lamella (Lendenfeld, 1888) from Australia; only the color is different: brownish-orange in the examined samples, instead of greyishpink; this difference may be due to the nature of the foreign bodies used by the sponge in very large quantity to build its skeleton. Chondropsis lamella has an Indo-Pacific distribution (Van Soest et al. 2019) and has already been recorded in this area (Vacelet et al. 1976). Species characteristics of the genus Chondropsis Carter, 1886 from the original descriptions are resumed in Table 2. Chondropsis isimangaliso was recently described by Samaai et al. (2019) from eastern South Africa; it is similar in its external morphology to the specimens here described, but it differs in having a single category of sigmas.
On the sample PO79, the hydroid Zyzzyzus warreni Calder, 1988 (Class Hydrozoa, Phylum Cnidaria) was detected.

description: The Standard Model Higgs suffers from the hierarchy problem, typically implying new states within the reach of the LHC. If the Higgs is very heavy (~500 GeV) the states that cutoff the quadratic divergence may be beyond the reach of the LHC. However, in this case precision electroweak data require the Standard Model to be augmented with new states at the electroweak scale. We study a very simple model, with no new colored states, that allows a heavy Higgs whilst remaining consistent with experiments, and yielding the correct dark matter abundance. We investigate the possibilities for its discovery at the LHC and future dark matter detection experiments.

description: A safe lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery employs a composite polymer electrolyte based on a poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether (PEGDME) solid at room temperature. The electrolyte membrane enables a stable and reversible Li-S electrochemical process already at 50°C, with low resistance at the electrode/electrolyte interphase and fast Li+ transport. The relatively low molecular weight of the PEGDME and the optimal membrane composition in terms of salts and ceramic allow a liquid-like Li-S conversion reaction by heating at moderately high temperature, still holding the solid-like polymer state of the cell. Therefore, the electrochemical reaction of the polymer Li-S cell is characterized by the typical dissolution of lithium polysulfides into the electrolyte medium during discharge and the subsequent deposition of sulfur at the electrode/electrolyte interphase during charge. On the other hand, the remarkable thermal stability of the composite polymer electrolyte (up to 300°C) suggests a lithium-metal battery with safety content significantly higher than that using the common, flammable liquid solutions. Hence, the Li-S polymer battery delivers at 50°C and 2 V a stable capacity approaching 700 mAhgS-1, with a steady-state coulombic efficiency of 98%. These results suggest a novel, alternative approach to achieve safe, high energy batteries with solid polymer configuration.
Body image perception and preference in anorexia nervosa
Creators: name: Buree, Barbara Ursula
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Nineteen female anorexic patients (10 anorexic-abstainers and 9 anorexics with episodes of bulimia) and 19 matched normal weight females participated in a study designed to investigate underlying dimensions of body image perception and body image preferences. The test materials consisted of a series of silhouettes which varied systematically in the sizes of four body parts: breasts, abdomen, buttocks, and legs. First, the subjects sorted the silhouettes into categories, Subjects then ordered the silhouettes along a 100-unit scale reflecting their preference for each silhouette. Finally, the subjects selected the silhouette which resembled themselves most and completed a semantic differential for this and the most and least preferred silhouettes. Multidimensional scaling analyses (INDSCAL & PREFMAP) were performed. Five underlying dimensions of perception were interpreted: four of those dealt with size of buttocks and abdomen and one with breast size. The dimensions were similar for both groups. Contrary to expectation, no group differences were found regarding body image preferences. Subjects within each group were heterogeneous. Preference ratings of own body silhouette were significantly lower for anorexic abstainers than for bulimic anorexics (p < .05) and normal controls (p < .01). The semantic differential scales yielded no group differences. It was concluded that variables other than a distorted body image and a thin), body image ideal are important to the etiology of anorexia nervosa; future research should investigate alternative etiological concepts such as weight phobia and fear of losing control. The distinction between anorexic abstainers and bulimic anorexics appears to be useful and the characteristics of these subgroups need to be investigated further.

description: In this paper, we develop approximative two-flavor neutrino oscillation formulas including subleading nonstandard interaction effects. Especially, the limit when the small mass-squared difference approaches zero is investigated. The approximate formulas are also tested against numerical simulations in order to determine their accuracy and they will probably be most useful in the GeV energy region, which is the energy region where most upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments will be operating. Naturally, it is important to have analytical formulas in order to interpret the physics behind the degeneracies between standard and nonstandard parameters.

description: Flat directions are a generic feature of the scalar potential in supersymmetric gauge field theories. They can arise, for example, from D-terms associated with an extra abelian gauge symmetry. Even when supersymmetry is broken softly, there often remain directions in the scalar field space along which the potential is almost flat. Upon breaking a gauge symmetry along one of these almost flat directions, cosmic strings may form. Relative to the standard cosmic string picture based on the abelian Higgs model, these flat-direction cosmic strings have the extreme Type-I properties of a thin gauge core surrounded by a much wider scalar field profile. We perform a comprehensive study of the microscopic, macroscopic, and observational characteristics of this class of strings. We find many differences from the standard string scenario, including stable higher winding mode strings, the dynamical formation of higher mode strings from lower ones, and a resultant multi-tension scaling string network in the early universe. These strings are only moderately constrained by current observations, and their gravitational wave signatures may be detectable at future gravity wave detectors. Furthermore, there is the interesting but speculative prospect that the decays of cosmic string loops in the early universe could be a source of ultra-high energy cosmic rays or non-thermal dark matter. We also compare the observational signatures of flat-direction cosmic strings with those of ordinary cosmic strings as well as (p,q) cosmic strings motivated by superstring theory.

description: We use semiclassical formalism to optimize a microwave single photon detector based on switching events of a current biased Josephson junction coupled to a resonator. In order to detect very rare events, the average time between dark counts $τ_{\rm dark}$ should be maximized taking into account that the switching time $τ_{\rm sw}$ should be sufficiently small. We demonstrate that these times can be tuned in the wide range by changing the junction parameters, and the ratios $τ_{\rm dark}/τ_{\rm sw} \sim 10^9$ can be achieved. Therefore, a junction-resonator arrangement can be used for detecting extremely low photon fluxes, for instance for searching galactic axions.
