Magnetic fields in gaps surrounding giant protoplanets

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Giant protoplanets evacuate a gap in their host protoplanetary disc, which gas must cross before it can be accreted. A magnetic field is likely carried into the gap, potentially influencing the flow. Gap crossing has been simulated with varying degrees of attention to field evolution (pure hydrodynamical, ideal, and resistive MHD), but as yet there has been no detailed assessment of the role of the field accounting for all three key non-ideal MHD effects: Ohmic resistivity, ambipolar diffusion, and Hall drift. We present a detailed investigation of gap magnetic field structure as determined by non-ideal effects. We assess susceptibility to turbulence induced by the magnetorotational instability, and angular momentum loss from large-scale fields. As full non-ideal simulations are computationally expensive, we take an a posteriori approach, estimating MHD quantities from the pure hydrodynamical gap crossing simulation by Tanigawa et al. (2012). We calculate the ionisation fraction and estimate field strength and geometry to determine the strength of non-ideal effects. We find that the protoplanetary disc field would be easily drawn into the gap and circumplanetary disc. Hall drift dominates, so that much of the gap is conditionally MRI unstable depending on the alignment of the field and disc rotation axes. Field alignment also influences the strong toroidal field component permeating the gap. Large-scale magnetic forces are small in the circumplanetary disc, indicating they cannot drive accretion there. However, turbulence will be key during satellite growth as it affects critical disc features, such as the location of the ice line.

Year: 2016
Subjects: music; McLuhan; technology

description: The paper explores the concepts of Ear world and Eye world, according to McLuhan's theory, applying them to the difference between classical music and popular music. Ear music is a world of more passionate sounds and close to the body.
The Eye music is a world of sounds heavily influenced by technology and by the professionalization of the music. A difference that is close to that theorized by Durkheim between mechanical and organic solidarity. In the text there are several examples of the two types of music, also through telematic links.

description: Results from a number of different approaches to quantum gravity suggest that the effective dimension of spacetime may drop to $d=2$ at small scales. I show that two different dimensional estimators in causal set theory display the same behavior, and argue that a third, the spectral dimension, may exhibit a related phenomenon of "asymptotic silence."

description: We study deformations of Lie groupoids by means of the cohomology which controls them. This cohomology turns out to provide an intrinsic model for the cohomology of a Lie groupoid with values in its adjoint representation. We prove several fundamental properties of the deformation cohomology including Morita invariance, a van Est theorem, and a vanishing result in the proper case. Combined with Moser's deformation arguments for groupoids, we obtain several rigidity and normal form results.

Temperature-tunable semiconductor metamaterial

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We propose a novel class of temperature-tunable semiconductor metamaterials that exhibit negative refraction in the terahertz spectral range. These metamaterials are based on doped semiconductor superlattices with ultrathin barriers of about 1 nm thickness. Due to the tunnel transparency of the barriers, layers of the superlattice cannot be considered as isolated and, therefore, the classical homogenization approach is inapplicable. We develop a theory of quantum homogenization which is based on the Kubo formula for conductivity. The proposed approach takes into account the wave functions of the carriers, their distribution function and energy spectrum. We show that the components of the dielectric tensor of the semiconductor metamaterial can be efficiently manipulated by external temperature and a topological transition from the dielectric to hyperbolic regime of metamaterial can be observed at room temperature. Using a GaAs/Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As superlattice slab as an example, we provide a numerical simulation of an experiment which shows that the topological transition can be observed in the reflection spectrum from the slab.

The Meaning of the Made in Italy Changes in a Changing World

Subjects: Glocalisation, Italicity, Made in Italy

description: The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the possibility of a change in the widespread idea of ‘Made in…’, which we all are familiar with, in relation to some values and an identity that remind us of the place where products are manufactured. In particular, we studied the case of Made in Italy, which, in the collective imagination, is connected to a production that comes from Italy according to the logic of a production characterized territorially. But in a world where the processes of globalisation, or rather of glocalisation, are deconstructing the fundamental paradigm of the nation-state and territoriality in favour of mobility, is it still possible to speak unequivocally of Made in Italy? In our paper we will discuss step by step how we are assisting in important cultural changes that can give new meaning to the globally recognized expression. We reflect on this issue starting from the most widespread theories and with reference to exemplary cases.

description: Optical properties of the short period {CdO/ZnO} superlattices grown by plasma assisted MBE were analyzed. The superlattice (SLs) structures were successfully obtained at different growth temperatures from 360 to 550 °C. Interestingly, the growth temperature of the SLs influences quality of multilayers and also optical properties of these structures. After annealing at 900°C by rapid thermal method various defect luminescence located at different energetic positions , were detected, and intensity of luminescence strongly depends on applied growth temperature.

description: We introduce the concept of autoregressive moving average (ARMA) filters on a graph and show how they can be implemented in a distributed fashion. Our graph filter design philosophy is independent of the particular graph, meaning that the filter coefficients are derived irrespective of the graph. In contrast to finite-impulse response (FIR) graph filters, ARMA graph filters are robust against changes in the signal and/or graph. In addition, when time-varying signals are considered, we prove that the proposed graph filters behave as ARMA filters in the graph domain and, depending on the implementation, as first or higher ARMA filters in the time domain.

description: The algebraic structure of moduli spaces of 3d N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories is studied by computing the Hilbert series which is a generating function that counts gauge invariant operators in the chiral ring. These U(N_c) theories with N_f flavors have Aharony duals and their moduli spaces receive contributions from both mesonic and monopole operators. In order to compute the Hilbert series, recently developed techniques for Coulomb branch Hilbert series in 3d N=4 are extended to 3d N=2. The Hilbert series computation leads to a general expression of the algebraic variety which represents the moduli space of the U(N_c) theory with N_f flavors and its Aharony dual theory. A detailed analysis of the moduli space is given, including an analysis of the various components of the moduli space.

description: Research about regional disparities in education within nation states and their consequences for equity and inequality in education have a long tradition in education sciences. Many OECD countries started in the 1960s with the expansion of educational services in regions with underdeveloped infrastructures. In particular, programs in upper secondary education were extended to reduce inequalities between rural and urban areas as well as to increase the educational opportunities of children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and for girls. As a result, differences between rural and urban spaces became less evident. Nevertheless, the place of residence and the living conditions are still decisive for educational attainment. Educational disparities are partly due to regionally diverging supplies of educational and training programs, differing admission regulations in federal education systems, segregated neighborhoods, the dismantling of educational infrastructures in rural areas or the expansion of private schooling in urban areas. Regional disparities in education are also caused by differences in the supply and the characteristics of educational programs targeted at students with disabilities and for students with a migration history. However, it is remarkable that (1) less attention has been given to social–historic, cultural, and economic factors that bring forth and structure regional disparities in education. Hardly considered are also (2) educational policies, governance processes, and public justifications causing or reducing such disparities, as well as (3) the long-term consequences for educational equity, life-long learning, the development of regional and national labor markets, democratic culture, and social cohesion at a national, regional, or even local level. It remains an open research question how regional disparities are linked with urban developments, school development plans, business development, and even consequences for the individual life course.

Der Beitrag beschreibt die Mediatisierung der Beratung im Feld von Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung als einen Medienaneignungsprozess auf zwei Ebenen: als kontinuierliche (Re-)Konfiguration von Medienensembles durch Beratungsorganisationen einerseits und von individuellen Medienrepertoires durch professionelle Berater:innen andererseits. Am Beispiel zweier qualitativer empirischer Studien zur Aneignung von Videoberatung und von Online-Self-Assessments wird illustriert, dass a) professionelle Berater:innen als Individuen in der Initiationsphase der Medienaneignung zentral sind, während Beratungseinrichtungen in der Phase der Aufrechterhaltung an Bedeutung gewinnen. Es wird b) die Vielzahl der an Medienaneignungsprozessen beteiligten Akteur:innen dargestellt, c) die Bedeutung gedanklicher, räumlicher und zeitlicher Medienaneignung herausgearbeitet und d) gezeigt, dass Medienaneignung ein ergebnisoffener, nur bedingt planbarer Prozess ist, der auf die Beratungspraxis transformierend zurückwirkt. Schließlich wird e) argumentiert, dass in einer stark dynamisierten Medienumwelt Medienaneignungsprozesse künftig permanent stattfinden und Berater:innen eine sehr offene, medien-affine Haltung abverlangen werden.

description: We have performed an \it {ab initio} investigation of transition metals (TMs = Mo, Ru, Co, and Pt) embedded in twisted bilayer graphene (tBG) layers. Our total energy results reveal that, triggered by the misalignment between the graphene layers, Mo and Ru atoms may form a quasi-periodic (triangular) array of intercalated atoms. In contrast, the formation of those structures is not expected for the other TMs, Co and Pt atoms. The net magnetic moment (m) of Mo and Ru atoms may be quenched upon intercalation, depending on the stacking region (AA or AB). For instance, we find a magnetic moment of 0.3 $μ_{\rm B}$ (1.8 $μ_{\rm B}$) for Ru atoms intercalated between the AA (AB) regions of the stacked twisted layers. Through simulated scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images, we verify that the presence of intercalated TMs can be identified by the formation of bright (hexagonal) spots lying on the graphene surface.

Watching over the Sacred Boundaries of the Family. Study on the Standing Sentinels and Cultural Resistance to LGBT Rights

Year: 2016
Subjects: same sex marriage; gender; sacred

description: The aim of this research is to present an exploratory study that examines some of the cultural assumptions on which the opposition to the social and legal recognition of homosexual marriage in Italy is based. These assumptions are based on a naturalistic anthropology which considers human nature, possibly created by God, structured exclusively in the complementary forms of male and female. Some recurring narrative elements which emerge from the social networks and from websites of a network of traditionalist movements, mainly linked to the Catholic area, are illustrated here, to propose, at the end, an interpretation, including with resort to some of the sociological categories devised by P.T. Berger and T. Luckmann. The naturalized ideas of humankind and the family seem to be the sacred foundations of the symbolic universe of the group; for this reason, the perception of any serious threat to the family is experienced by the members of the group as a serious profanation of the entire sacred order that is based on these foundations. Coherently with this, the forces identified at the origin of the profanation are shown as evil forces that seek to destroy the whole of humanity. The defence of the sacred values of the family therefore assumes the form of defence of cosmic order from the powers that seek to spread chaos.

Implementing a palliative care screening tool in the emergency department
Creators: name: Veth, Alyssa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of Project: The purpose of this project aimed to improve care management and quality of life for palliative care appropriate (PCA) patients through the early initiation of a palliative care referral in the Emergency Department (ED).Methodology: This quality improvement project with post-intervention chart reviews included all ED providers and registered nurses (RNs) who participated in a 20-minute educational session about the use of an evidence-based screening tool called "Palliative Care and Rapid Emergency Screening Tool" (P-CaRES). P-CaRES was utilized for the identification of ED patients with significant unmet palliative care needs for four weeks. The chart review was performed post-intervention to determine the impact of the screening tool on care management for PCA patients.Results: The data analysis consisted of 73 charts for PCA patients, 25 with a PC referral (Group A) and 48 without PC referral (Group B) ordered in the ED. There was a statistically significant decrease in the length of stay (LOS) for PCA patients in Group A (p < 0.001) and the number of consults ordered during admission (p < 0.001). Referrals made in the ED also showed a statistical significance in the discharge disposition of the PCA patients (p < 0.001) with 14 of 73 (Group A =1, Group B =13) readmitted in 30 days. There was no statistical significance in the use of intensive care unit (ICU) services (p = 0.284) and the LOS in the ICU (p = 0.122). Total PC referrals in the ED the month before implementation was 3 versus 25 during implementation.Implications for Practice: Emergency Departments should incorporate a palliative care protocol, which includes formal educational sessions.

description: We computed linguistic information at the lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels for Recognizing Inference in Text (RITE) tasks for both traditional and simplified Chinese in NTCIR-9 and NTCIR-10. Techniques for syntactic parsing, named-entity recognition, and near synonym recognition were employed, and features like counts of common words, statement lengths, negation words, and antonyms were considered to judge the entailment relationships of two statements, while we explored both heuristics-based functions and machine-learning approaches. The reported systems showed robustness by simultaneously achieving second positions in the binary-classification subtasks for both simplified and traditional Chinese in NTCIR-10 RITE-2. We conducted more experiments with the test data of NTCIR-9 RITE, with good results. We also extended our work to search for better configurations of our classifiers and investigated contributions of individual features. This extended work showed interesting results and should encourage further discussion.

Social determinants of health influence on re-admittance rates and mortality for the congestive heart failure patient: a systematic review
Creators: name: Davis, Narda
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Objective: The objective of this Systematic Review was to examine the evidence on Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) (specifically, poverty/income and health literacy) to determine their influence on readmission and mortality rates in the cardiovascular-disease population.Background: Heart disease claims over 600,000 lives per year in the United States. While healthcare has advanced in treatment, many socioeconomic factors lead to readmission and mortality in this population. Inclusion criteria: Adult male and female patients, 65 years of age and older with a diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) who were readmitted following hospitalization for the same diagnosis.Method: This is a systemic review of quantitative studies. The standard 3-step search strategy of JBI was used to find eligible studies. These were screened by title, abstract and full review for relevance. Critical appraisal and data extraction were performed by two reviewers working independently using the JBI SUMARI tools. The data extraction forms used were based on the selected study’s design.Results: Of the initial 106 initial articles retrieved, seven full-text articles meeting all inclusion criteria were selected and appraised by two independent reviewers. Three of these articles were then excluded for unreliable results related to bias, and inadequate/lack of information in the article. Four articles were selected for extraction, analysis, and synthesis. These included one randomized control trial (RCT), one analytical cross-sectional study and two cohort studies. A narrative synthesis of these four articles was performed due to the lack of quantitative data to perform a meta-analysis.Conclusions: The results of this review provide a greater understanding of the scope of healthcare determinants in society, including race, which is tied to economic issues. Among patients with heart failure over the age of 65 years, poverty was found to most influence readmittance rates and mortality rates, and a correlation was seen between low socioeconomic status and poor health literacy. Race was also a contributor as Black people tended to live in more impoverished areas and experienced higher readmission and mortality rates than White people living in the same area.

description: One of the 21st century's grand societal challenges is ensuring food and nutrition security (FNS) for a growing population under climate change and pressure on natural resources. To meet this challenge, the EU Member States established the ERA-NET Cofund SusCrop under Horizon 2020, which aimed to strengthen the European Research Area (ERA) in the field of Sustainable Crop Production. SusCrop brought together owners and managers of national and regional R&D&I programmes of EU Member States, EU-associated countries and Third countries with significant experience in research funding and coordination who participated in funding 38 research projects over the period 2018- 2023. Additionally, the partners of SusCrop analysed research gaps, through desk studies, exchange with stakeholders, and 2 expert/stakeholder workshops. The conclusions of this work are presented here. Work in SusCrop highlighted both research needs and a methodology for working. The initial focus concerned protein
 crops, primarily for food but also including feed. Here the term protein refers to proteins coming from plants (but not
 algae), including e.g. grasses. Further, the focus was on production (crop improvement and cultivation) but taking into account the value chain. More generally, there was a focus on “niche crops”, which have huge potential in the future, given that there is sufficient investment in research and a step-by-step approach to developing and sharing knowledge on such crops.

description: We examine the impact of the expected reach of the LHC and the XENON1T experiments on the parameter space of the minimal classically scale invariant extension of the standard model (SM), where all the mass scales are induced dynamically by means of the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. In this framework, the SM content is enlarged by the addition of one complex gauge singlet scalar with a scale invariant and $CP$-symmetric potential. The massive pseudoscalar component, protected by the $CP$-symmetry, forms a viable dark matter candidate, and three flavors of the right-handed Majorana neutrinos are included to account for the nonzero masses of the SM neutrinos via the see-saw mechanism. The projected constraints on the parameter space arise by applying the ATLAS heavy Higgs discovery prospects, with an integrated luminosity of 300 and 3000~fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt s = 14$~TeV, to the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of the (approximate) scale symmetry, as well as by utilizing the expected reach of the XENON1T direct detection experiment for the discovery of the pseudoscalar dark matter candidate. A null-signal discovery by these future experiments implies that vast regions of the model's parameter space can be thoroughly explored; the combined projections are expected to confine a mixing between the SM and the singlet sector to very small values, while probing the viability of the TeV~scale pseudoscalar's thermal relic abundance as the dominant dark matter component in the Universe. Furthermore, the vacuum stability and triviality requirements of the framework up to the Planck scale are studied and the viable region of the parameter space is identified. The results are summarized in extensive exclusion plots, incorporating additionally the prior theoretical and experimental bounds for comparison.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of Project: Depression affects more than 300 million people globally and is the most common mental health condition in primary care. Despite its prevalence, only about 50% of depressed patients are identified. This quality improvement project assessed the impact of implementing the Patient Health Questionnaire- 9 (PHQ-9) in a primary care practice to help identify depression in patients.Methodology: A quality improvement model using PHQ-9 screening was implemented as standard of care for all new patient visits and all patients seen for annual visits. Chart review data was used to measure changes in screening rates. Records of new patient visits and annual wellness visits were reviewed 3-months prior to implementation and for 3-months post-implementation to identify the number of patients who were screened for depression using the PHQ-9.Results: During the pre-implementation period, out of 160 eligible patients, 4 were assessed for depression, resulting in 3 patients being diagnosed with depression and referred for treatment. During the post-implementation period, out of 154 eligible patients, 88 were screened using the PHQ-9, resulting in 6 patients being diagnosed with depression and referred for treatment. Overall, there was a 54.5% increase in depression screening rates [X2 (1) = 80.71, p <.001].Conclusions: This quality improvement project demonstrated a significant improvement in depression screening with the use of the PHQ-9 screening tool. It is an effective tool in helping to identify, diagnose, and treat depression in primary care. Implications for Practice: The implementation of PHQ-9 into the standard of care at primary care practices can positively affect identification, diagnosis, and treatment of depression in patients. The early identification and treatment of depression with the PHQ-9 can decrease healthcare costs and positively influence the economy.

description: The focus of this study is to reflect on the political and cultural climate surrounding the Senate’s approval (on 25 February 2016) of the draft law on civil unions and de facto unions, known as the Cirinnà law after the Senator (Monica Cirinnà) that presented it. The draft law was passed in a vote of confidence and will now return to the Chamber of Deputies. It was approved on 11 May by the Chamber of Deputies, without further modification.
The events surrounding the approval of the draft law are an excellent touchstone for understanding the political and cultural climate in which it evolved. They reveal much about the level of sensitivity of civil society towards an issue – same-sex unions – that raises significant questions about the nature of the relationship between rights and obligations, new family configurations and parental responsibilities.
The law will inevitably have effects that we must ponder and discuss in our capacity as sociologists.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Purpose of the project: Polypharmacy and prescribing of potentially inappropriate medication is a problem in older adults, which leads to negative health outcomes. This project aims to reduce inappropriate polypharmacy by implementing a Screening Tool to Older Person’s Prescriptions (STOPP) and a Screening Tool to Alert Providers to the Right Treatment (START) when prescribing and reviewing medication.Methodology: This quality improvement project occurred at a primary care clinic in Clifton New Jersey. Providers were introduced and educated on the use of the STOPP/START tool. A two-month retrospective and prospective chart review were conducted based on the number of medications, potentially inappropriate medication (PIM), potentially prescription omission (PPO). Independent t-test and chi-square were used to compare the differences before and after using STOPP/START tool.Results: A total patient (n=126) was analyzed with records from the retrospective (n=63) and prospective review (n=63). After using STOPP/START tool, number of medications was statistically significant decreased (t₁₂₄=-1.66, p=0.05). PPO statistically significant decreased from 17.5 % to 6.3% (x²⁽¹⁾=3.71, p=0.05). There was no significant reduction of PIM (x²⁽¹⁾=1.64, p=0.201). However, the incidence of PIM decreased from 44.4% in retrospective to 33.3% in prospective group. Implication for practice: Using tools like STOPP/START for a medication review and prescribing will not only prevent inappropriate polypharmacy but will improve providers' skills when prescribing. This will result in greater overall health outcomes for patients, more effective and efficient medication reconciliation practices; seeing an impact in this area should reduce the number of serious medical conditions associated with improper medication practices.

description: The power factor correction of electrical loads is a problem common to all industrial companies. So, in order to utilize a stable and efficient energy to every society power must be managed properly. In most power systems, a poor power factor resulting from an increasing use of inductive loads is often overlooked. A power factor correction unit would allow the system to restore its power factor close to unity for economical operation Laundry and Toilet Soap Factory of Star Soap and Detergent Industry Private Limited Company is located in Akaki-Kallitti Subcity, specifically in front of the place commonly called Wuha Limat. It produces soaps and detergents. The machines the factory uses are inductive operating with total power of 668.11 KW at an average lagging power factor of 0.8 without capacitor bank. This project assessed the power consumption of a Laundry and Toilet Soap Factory of Star Soap and Detergent Industry Private Limited Company and computed the apparent power at 0.8 lagging power factor and at the desired 0.95 power factor using information obtained from the name plates of the inductive loads at the factory. The result showed that at full capacity, for the 131.8638-KVA apparent power reduction/hour due to the power factor correction, there could have been a saving of 607, 628. 3904 KVA/year. Taking the February, 2011 E.C. block rate (1.0352 Eth. Birr price per KW), the corresponding money saving due to the corrected 0.8 to 0.95 power factor would have been 94, 352.54 Eth. Birr/year. A 10-% contingency consideration was also made for the total real power and the associated apparent power difference between the 0.8 and the 0.95 power factors was calculated to be 145.0502 KVA. The money saved under contingency consideration is 103, 787.80 Birr/year. This is a big saving indicating the importance of power factor correction. The reactive power needed was calculated to be 309.634 KVAR. Practically, it was suggested to choose 320 KVAR in 20 KVAR in steps 1-4, 25 KVAR in steps 5-8, 30 KVAR in steps 9-10 and 40 KVAR in steps 11-12.

description: The problem of compressive detection of random subspace signals is studied. We consider signals modeled as $\mathbf{s} = \mathbf{H} \mathbf{x}$ where $\mathbf{H}$ is an $N \times K$ matrix with $K \le N$ and $\mathbf{x} \sim \mathcal{N}(\mathbf{0}_{K,1},σ_x^2 \mathbf{I}_K)$. We say that signal $\mathbf{s}$ lies in or leans toward a subspace if the largest eigenvalue of $\mathbf{H} \mathbf{H}^T$ is strictly greater than its smallest eigenvalue. We first design a measurement matrix $\mathbfΦ=[\mathbfΦ_s^T,\mathbfΦ_o^T]^T$ comprising of two sub-matrices $\mathbfΦ_s$ and $\mathbfΦ_o$ where $\mathbfΦ_s$ projects the signals to the strongest left-singular vectors, i.e., the left-singular vectors corresponding to the largest singular values, of subspace matrix $\mathbf{H}$ and $\mathbfΦ_o$ projects it to the weakest left-singular vectors. We then propose two detectors which work based on the difference in energies of the samples measured by two sub-matrices $\mathbfΦ_s$ and $\mathbfΦ_o$ and prove their optimality. Simplified versions of the proposed detectors for the case when the variance of noise is known are also provided. Furthermore, we study the performance of the detector when measurements are imprecise and show how imprecision can be compensated by employing more measurement devices. The problem is then re-formulated for the case when the signal lies in the union of a finite number of linear subspaces instead of a single linear subspace. Finally, we study the performance of the proposed methods by simulation examples.

The Crisis and Italian Families
Creators: name: Secondulfo, Domenico

Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2016
Subjects: impact of the crisis, purchasing strategies, consumption profiles

description: In this article the issue of the effects of the economic crisis on consumption in Italy is discussed. In particular, the authors present some information about the strategies of consumption in Italy, from a part of the data collected during some of the research conducted by the Observatory on the consumption of families (University of Verona, Italy). The data analyzed were collected through several surveys conducted in the five years between 2009 and 2013. After presenting some data on the economic status of the families of respondents, the authors discuss, among other things, the issue of the request for financial help – showing how the primary networks are increasingly over-stressed – and the growth of the incidence of households that reduce their spending in various areas of commodities – which show that the most significant growth appears to medicines and products for personal care and toiletries, and food. Finally, the changes, over time, of the incidence of some general profiles of consumers are shown.

Talking/Speaking/Stalking/Streaming: Artist’s Browsers and Tactical Engagements with the Early Web
Creators: name: Post, Colin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The thesis discusses three artist-made browsers from the late 1990s. As the Web transitioned from a niche information system to global telecommunications infrastructure, these artists created functional software that explored the socioeconomic, political, and cultural ramifications of these rapidly changing networked technologies. The thesis argues that these artworks seized upon the browser—an interface between users and information—as a tactical point of intervention. These artist’s browsers presented alternative interfaces to the Web, visualizing how commercial browsers shape access to networked information while also making available new modalities of interaction. These artworks encouraged users to develop a critical awareness of how the Web functioned, and built on that awareness by offering tactics for interaction. Framing browsing as a union of reading and writing practices, these artists envisioned how the Web might be reshaped if users could fully leverage the browser as a means of both information production and consumption.

description: We present a new existence mechanism, based on symplectic topology, for orbits of Hamiltonian flows connecting a pair of disjoint subsets in the phase space. The method involves function theory on symplectic manifolds combined with rigidity of Lagrangian submanifolds. Applications include superconductivity channels in nearly integrable systems and dynamics near a perturbed unstable equilibrium.

Titan's Fluvial and Lacustrine Landscapes

description: In this chapter we begin with a review of Titan's fluvial and lacustrine landscapes as observed with Cassini remote sensing data, and what the many discoveries have revealed about Titan's surface materials and climate. Yet Cassini remote sensing data are coarse, topographic data are largely lacking, and the absence of in situ field measurements means we have little understanding of what the surface is composed of. At present, our knowledge of Titan's hydrology is comparable to that of Mars in the 1970's during the Viking era. Fortunately, the coming decades promise many new and exciting discoveries that can be achieved through Earth-based experiments, numerical modeling, and a continued commitment to the exploration of Titan by future missions, including both Dragonfly and orbiting assets. We therefore close the chapter with a discussion about what can be done with the current Cassini data and how new data, from both Dragonfly and a potential future orbiter, would allow us to leverage Titan to help solve some of the largest problems both here on Earth and on hydrologic planets and exoplanets more generally.

description: Let $f: Y \rightarrow X$ be a continuous map between a compact real analytic Kähler manifold $(Y,g)$ and a compact complex {hyperbolic manifold} $(X,g_0)$. In this paper we give a lower bound of the diastatic entropy of $(Y,g)$ in terms of the diastatic entropy of $(X,g_0)$ and the degree of $f$. When the lower bound is attained we get geometric rigidity theorems for the diastatic entropy analogous to the ones obtained by G. Besson, G. Courtois and S. Gallot [2] for the volume entropy. As a corollary, when $X=Y$, we show that the minimal diastatic entropy is achieved if and only if $g$ is holomorphically or anti-holomorphically isometric to the hyperbolic metric $g_0$.
Detecting the tensor-to-scalar ratio with the pure pseudospectrum reconstruction of $B$-mode

description: In this work we employ the pure-pseudo formalism devised to minimise the effects of the leakage on the variance of power spectrum estimates and discuss the limits on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, that could be realistically set by current and forthcoming measurements of the $B$-mode angular power spectrum. We compare those with the results obtained using other approaches: naïve mode-counting, minimum-variance quadratic estimators, and re-visit the question of optimizing the sky coverage of small-scale, suborbital experiments in order to maximize the statistical significance of the detection of $r$. We show that the optimized sky coverage is largely insensitive to the adopted approach at least for reasonably compact sky patches. We find, however, that the mode-counting overestimates the detection significance by a factor $\sim1.17$ as compared to the lossless maximum variance approach and by a factor $\sim1.25$ as compared to the lossy pure pseudo-spectrum estimator. In a second time, we consider more realistic experimental configurations. With a pure pseudospectrum reconstruction of $B$-modes and considering only statistical uncertainties, we find that a detection of $r\sim0.11$, $r\sim0.0051$ and $r\sim0.0026$ at 99$\%$ of confidence level is within the reach of current sub-orbital experiments, future arrays of ground-based telescopes and a satellite mission, respectively. This means that an array of telescopes could be sufficient to discriminate between large- and small-field models of inflation, even if the $E$-to-$B$ leakage is consistently included but accounted for in the analysis. However, a satellite mission will be required to distinguish between different small-field models depending on the number of e-folds.
