description: In this study, chitosan (CTS) anti-browning coating film was applied to fresh cut lemon slices. The effects of freshly cut lemon slices on peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenolic acid and storage quality were investigated at different storage temperatures (0°C, 4°C, 7°C and 10°C). Results demonstrated that 0°C had an excellent inhibitory effect on the activity of POD, and PPO, as well as a slight impact on the seven primary phenolic acids, the content of which decreased from 0.94 mg/g and 10.01 mg/g to 0.65 mg/g and 8.87 mg/g after a storage period of 10 d. Moreover, the malonaldehyde content (MDA), relative conductivity, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH, free radical) radical scavenging capacity were 0.35 μmol/g, 64.16%, and 91.4%, respectively, while the titratable acidity (TA) and vitamin C (VC) content in the juice were 11.6 g/kg and 33.97 mg/g, respectively. The aroma components denoted by D-limonene, β-pinene, and hydrophyllene also presented a high percentage after 10 d, indicating that combining the treatment of CTS coating with clove oil as a treatment at low temperatures effectively maintained the qualitative properties of freshly cut lemons.

description: The C-metric is usually understood as describing two black holes which accelerate in opposite directions under the action of some conical singularity. Here, we examine all the solutions of this type which represent accelerating sources and investigate the null limit in which the accelerations become unbounded. We show that the resulting space-times represent spherical impulsive gravitational waves generated by snapping or expanding cosmic strings.

description: Working in the context of a Lorentz-violating extension of the standard model we show that estimates of Lorentz symmetry violation extracted from ultra-high energy cosmic rays beyond the Greisen-Kuzmin-Zatsepin (GZK) cutoff allow for setting bounds on parameters of that extension. Furthermore, we argue that a correlated measurement of the difference in the arrival time of gamma-ray photons and neutrinos emitted from active galactic nuclei or gamma-ray bursts may provide a signature of possible violation of Lorentz symmetry. We have found that this time delay is energy independent, however it has a dependence on the chirality of the particles involved. We also briefly discuss the known settings where the mechanism for spontaneous violation of Lorentz symmetry in the context of string/M-theory may take place.

description: This study assessed land-use impacts on surface-water quality and explored relationships between water indexes with water parameters. Twenty-seven water samples, collected from canals located in agricultural, industrial, and residential areas, were analyzed for 22 parameters. Water quality index (WQI), heavy metal pollution index (HPI), and metal quality index (MQI) results showed poor to very poor water quality across all land uses. Agriculture had the highest WQI (39), followed by residential (12) and industrial areas (7). Industrial areas exhibited the highest HPI and MQI, indicating higher heavy metal pollution in the areas. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between WQI and electrical conductivity and chemical oxygen demand (COD), explaining 71% of WQI variance. Discriminant analysis differentiated the three land uses with 100% accuracy using turbidity, COD, biochemical oxygen demand, Mg, and, Na. Tailored management strategies should be developed for each land-used type to improve water quality in urban areas.

description: A new vertical water tunnel with global temperature control and the possibility for bubble and local heat & mass injection has been designed and constructed. The new facility offers the possibility to accurately study heat and mass transfer in turbulent multiphase flow (gas volume fraction up to $8\%$) with a Reynolds-number range from $1.5 \times 10^4$ to $3 \times 10^5$ in the case of water at room temperature. The tunnel is made of high-grade stainless steel permitting the use of salt solutions in excess of 15$\%$ mass fraction. The tunnel has a volume of 300 liters. The tunnel has three interchangeable measurement sections of $1$ m height but with different cross sections ($0.3 \times 0.04 m^2$, $0.3 \times 0.06 m^2$, $0.3 \times 0.08 m^2$). The glass vertical measurement sections allow for optical access to the flow, enabling techniques such as laser Doppler anemometry, particle image velocimetry, particle tracking velocimetry, and laser-induced fluorescent imaging. Local sensors can be introduced from the top and can be traversed using a built-in traverse system, allowing for e.g. local temperature, hot-wire, or local phase measurements. Combined with simultaneous velocity measurements, the local heat flux in single phase and two phase turbulent flows can thus be studied quantitatvely and precisely.
The Past, Polish Politics of Memory, and Stereotyping: an Intercultural Perspective
Creators: name: Wawrzyński, Patryk
Publisher: name: E-Journal of Intercultural Studies
Year: 2021

description: The main idea of the article is to consider the interdependence between Politics of Memory (as a type of narrating the Past) and Stereotyping. In a time of information revolution; we are still constructing images of others on the basis of simplification, overestimation of association between features, and illusory correlations, instead of basing them on knowledge and personal contact. The Politics of Memory, national remembrance, and the historical consciousness play a significant role in these processes, because they transform historically based 'symbolic analogies' into 'illusory correlations' between national identity and the behavior of its members. To support his theoretical investigation, the article presents results of a draft experiment and two case studies: (a) a social construction of images of neighbors based on Polish narrations about the Past; and (b) various processes of stereotyping based on the Remembrance of the Holocaust. All these considerations lead to the understanding that the Politics of Memory should be recognized as an influential source of commonly shared stereotypes on other cultures and nations.

description: It is widely believed that hadronisation leads to 1/Q corrections to e+e- event shapes. We show that there are further corrections, proportional to (ln Q)^A/Q with A=4C_A/beta_0~=1.6, associated with hadron masses and whose relative normalisations can be calculated from one observable to another. At today's energies these extra corrections can be of the same order of magnitude as `traditional' 1/Q corrections. They fall into two classes: universal and non-universal. The latter can be eliminated by suitable redefinitions of the observables.

description: Stochastic resonance holds much promise for the detection of weak signals in the presence of relatively loud noise. Following the discovery of nondynamical and of aperiodic stochastic resonance, it was recently shown that the phenomenon can manifest itself even in the presence of nonstationary signals. This was found in a composite system of differentiated trigger mechanisms mounted in parallel, which suggests that it could be realized in some elementary neural networks or nonlinear electronic circuits. Here, we find that even an individual trigger system may be able to detect weak nonstationary signals using stochastic resonance. The very simple modification to the trigger mechanism that makes this possible is reminiscent of some aspects of actual neuron physics. Stochastic resonance may thus become relevant to more types of biological or electronic systems injected with an ever broader class of realistic signals.

description: Na era pós-moderna, as sociedades são tendencialmente multilingues e multiculturais. Esta diversidade impulsionou um intenso esforço político e educativo para implementar uma educação plurilingue e intercultural, nomeadamente em contexto europeu, que se refletiu no crescente interesse da Didática de Línguas por conceitos como intercompreensão, interculturalidade e plurilinguismo. Neste quadro, coloca-se um desafio à escola, e sobretudo aos professores de línguas: formar cidadãos responsáveis, críticos, capazes de assumir o papel de mediadores interculturais, fomentando o desenvolvimento de uma competência de comunicação plurilingue e intercultural. Uma das questões que se pode colocar, face a este desafio, é a seguinte: como encaram os professores de línguas o seu papel enquanto promotores desta educação plurilingue e intercultural? Nesta comunicação, analisamos as representações de um grupo de professores de línguas (materna e estrangeiras) portugueses relativamente ao perfil e papel do professor de línguas num contexto de educação para a diversidade linguística e cultural. Propomo-nos comparar os dados relativos aos professores de Português Língua Materna com os relativos aos professores de Línguas Estrangeiras, de forma a identificar divergências e/ou convergências, assim como fatores que lhes poderão estar subjacentes, com o intuito de problematizar potenciais possibilidades e/ou constrangimentos relativamente à implementação de uma didática integrada das línguas.

description: String theory and ``quantum geometry'' have recently offered independent statistical mechanical explanations of black hole thermodynamics. But these successes raise a new problem: why should models with such different microscopic degrees of freedom yield identical results? I propose that the asymptotic behavior of the density of states at a black hole horizon may be determined by an underlying symmetry inherited from classical general relativity, independent of the details of quantum gravity. I offer evidence that a two-dimensional conformal symmetry at the horizon, with a classical central extension, may provide the needed behavior.

description: Ballasted flocculation is effective for fast turbidity removal in water treatment processes. However, there is a lack of specific information for setting the conditions for ballasted flocculation. To enhance the settling velocity and removal efficiency of ballasted flocculation of actual river water, the process parameters were examined at three turbidity levels. The optimum pH and dosages for ballasted flocculation were investigated based on the relationship between the water turbidity and the floc settling velocity at the three turbidity levels. A nonionic polymer flocculant was the most suitable for floc formation and achieved the lowest turbidity and highest settling velocity. Under the optimum processing conditions at the three turbidity levels, the treated water turbidity was ˂2 turbidity units (TU) and the floc settling velocity was ˃0.7 cm/s, which was 30 times that of conventional coagulation–sedimentation, reducing the floc settling time by 97% of those used in existing water treatment plants.

description: No mundo globalizado, a interculturalidade é cada vez mais uma necessidade; reconhecer o conceito e a sua aplicabilidade, ditam o recurso à tradução. Este artigo dá uma atenção especial à tradução no direito, visto que nesta estão envolvidos conteúdos socioculturais específicos: a questão da equivalência. A própria definição de equivalência é abordada neste artigo, bem como a distinção entre equivalência formal e dinâmica. São examinadas as teorias de Catford, Hönig/Kuβmaul, Reiβ e Vermeer mas estas aplicam-se apenas à tradução no geral e não são específicas à tradução jurídica. Susan Šarčević defende a procura de um equivalente mais próximo da realidade jurídica da língua de chegada, o chamado equivalente funcional. Assim sendo, é possível dizer que a equivalência em tradução jurídica é problemática porque é praticamente impossível encontrar uma equivalência ‘total’ dadas as variantes nos sistemas jurídicos, culturas e línguas.

Futebol – O caminho de África até à Europa

description: À semelhança do seu passado, a África desempenha no mundo do futebol, um papel semelhante ao que desempenhou ao longo da História, se olharmos para a criação de alguns dos impérios mais poderosos do mundo (o Português, Francês ou Inglês, por exemplo) – enquanto “fornecedora” de mão-de-obra quase ilimitada. A África está ainda à procura do seu lugar próprio no mapa mundial do futebol. Com uma história recente repleta de conflitos sociais, guerras civis e discriminação social, foi possivelmente neste continente que o desporto foi visto pela primeira vez como um meio para a evolução social e como um ‘pacificador’. Embora estes problemas também existam nos estádios africanos, os adeptos de todo o continente vão aos jogos para celebrar e socializar; numa realidade constantemente envolta em conflitos e opressão, o futebol é como uma ‘luz no fundo do túnel’ para aqueles que acreditam num continente sustentado por relações políticas saudáveis entre países, valores democráticos e ‘utilização’ socialmente justa do potencial de um país – e sempre para o lucro do próprio povo. Mas enquanto alguns veem a tentativa de usar o futebol para esse objetivo, outros veem-no como o seu bilhete de saída do país, para evitar envolvimento nos conflitos militares e procurar melhores condições de vida para eles e para as suas famílias (tanto aqueles que os acompanham e aqueles que permanecem em África). Outros, ainda, tentam aproveitar ao máximo a vontade dos outros para deixar uma realidade social menos favorável; Portugal, pelo seu passado como país colonizador, também viu nos jogadores africanos uma forma de desenvolver o fenómeno do futebol no seu território europeu. Este artigo tenta analisar a influência do colonialismo português na emigração de jogadores africanos para a Europa, visto que Portugal se apresenta como um dos maiores ‘importadores’ desses jogadores.

description: We study the application of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to systems with one-dimensional acoustic phonons. We show how the use of a local oscillator basis circumvents the difficulties with the long-range interactions generated in real space using the normal phonon basis. When applied to a harmonic atomic chain, we find excellent agreement with the exact solution even when using a modest number of oscillator and block states (a few times ten). We discuss the use of this algorithm in more complex cases and point out its value when other techniques are deficient.

We present an ansatz for the initial conditions which leads to a unique determination of the expansion coefficients in the construction of the wave packets with probability distributions which, in an interesting contrast to some of the earlier works, agree well with all possible classical paths. The possible relationship between these initial conditions and signature transition in the context of classical cosmology is also discussed.

BACKGROUND: Starting in November 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for multiple novel virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody therapies, including bamlanivimab monotherapy (now revoked), bamlanivimab and etesivimab, casirivimab and imdevimab (REGEN-COV), and sotrovimab, for treatment or postexposure prophylaxis of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adolescents (≥12 years of age) and adults with certain high-risk conditions. Previous guidance is now updated based on new evidence and clinical experience. METHODS: A panel of experts in pediatric infectious diseases, pediatric infectious diseases pharmacotherapy, and pediatric critical care medicine from 18 geographically diverse US institutions was convened. Through a series of teleconferences and web-based surveys, a guidance statement was developed and refined based on a review of the best available evidence and expert opinion. RESULTS: The course of COVID-19 in children and adolescents is typically mild, though more severe disease is occasionally observed. Evidence supporting risk stratification is incomplete. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the benefit of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific monoclonal antibody therapies in adults, but data on safety and efficacy in children or adolescents are limited. Potential harms associated with infusion reactions or anaphylaxis are reportedly low in adults. CONCLUSIONS: Based on evidence available as of August 31, 2021, the panel suggests a risk-based approach to administration of SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody therapy. Therapy is suggested for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adolescents (≥12 years of age) at the highest risk of progression to hospitalization or severe disease. Therapeutic decision-making about those at moderate risk of severe disease should be individualized. Use as postexposure prophylaxis could be considered for those at the highest risk who have a high-risk exposure but are not yet diagnosed with COVID-19. Clinicians and health systems should ensure safe and timely implementation of these therapeutics that does not exacerbate existing healthcare disparities.

description: We evaluate the impact of probabilistically-constructed digital identity data collected from Sep. to Dec. 2017 (approx.), in the context of Lookalike-targeted campaigns. The backbone of this study is a large set of probabilistically-constructed "identities", represented as small bags of cookies and mobile ad identifiers with associated metadata, that are likely all owned by the same underlying user. The identity data allows to generate "identity-based", rather than "identifier-based", user models, giving a fuller picture of the interests of the users underlying the identifiers. We employ off-policy techniques to evaluate the potential of identity-powered lookalike models without incurring the risk of allowing untested models to direct large amounts of ad spend or the large cost of performing A/B tests. We add to historical work on off-policy evaluation by noting a significant type of "finite-sample bias" that occurs for studies combining modestly-sized datasets and evaluation metrics involving rare events (e.g., conversions). We illustrate this bias using a simulation study that later informs the handling of inverse propensity weights in our analyses on real data. We demonstrate significant lift in identity-powered lookalikes versus an identity-ignorant baseline: on average ~70% lift in conversion rate. This rises to factors of ~(4-32)x for identifiers having little data themselves, but that can be inferred to belong to users with substantial data to aggregate across identifiers. This implies that identity-powered user modeling is especially important in the context of identifiers having very short lifespans (i.e., frequently churned cookies). Our work motivates and informs the use of probabilistically-constructed identities in marketing. It also deepens the canon of examples in which off-policy learning has been employed to evaluate the complex systems of the internet economy.

Dinâmicas e Estratégias Interculturais: O Exemplo Macaense
Creators: name: Pinto, Isabel
Publisher: name: E- Revista de Estudos Interculturais
Year: 2021

description: Cientificamente comprovada, a interculturalidade é um conceito datado; os primórdios desta estando cientificamente comprovada. Há, no entanto, a evidência de que o convívio entre diferentes povos não foi sempre pacífico. Para a concretização da interculturalidade não basta que dois povos de etnias diferentes partilhem território, é necessário verificar a existência de múltiplos fatores históricos e culturais. Um exemplo destas trocas interculturais é a presença dos Portugueses nas antigas colónias em África - uma vez regressados ao país de origem, a cultura que chega já não é a que partiu, tendo sido originada uma “nova cultura”. A etnia macaense exemplifica a interculturalidade vivenciada, surge de núcleos familiares que resultam do casamento entre homens portugueses e mulheres asiáticas fixados em Macau no século XVI. A convivência entre criados e escravos de diversas origens e a população chinesa fizeram de Macau um espaço multicultural com uma interculturalidade diária. A população macaense desenvolveu, assim, uma cultura própria baseada na diversidade étnica e cultural. Este artigo focaliza duas investigações desenvolvidas em Macau, primeiro: uma que demonstra a plasticidade cultural desenvolvida pelos macaenses; e segundo: uma que analisa os costumes orientais que os macaenses com residência em Portugal mantêm e pretendem transmitir a futuras gerações.

description: Recent advances in machine learning allow us to analyze and describe the content of high-dimensional data like text, audio, images or other signals. In order to visualize that data in 2D or 3D, usually Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques are employed. Most of these techniques, e.g., PCA or t-SNE, produce static projections without taking into account corrections from humans or other data exploration scenarios. In this work, we propose the interactive Similarity Projection (iSP), a novel interactive DR framework based on similarity embeddings, where we form a differentiable objective based on the user interactions and perform learning using gradient descent, with an end-to-end trainable architecture. Two interaction scenarios are evaluated. First, a common methodology in multidimensional projection is to project a subset of data, arrange them in classes or clusters, and project the rest unseen dataset based on that manipulation, in a kind of semi-supervised interpolation. We report results that outperform competitive baselines in a wide range of metrics and datasets. Second, we explore the scenario of manipulating some classes, while enriching the optimization with high-dimensional neighbor information. Apart from improving classification precision and clustering on images and text documents, the new emerging structure of the projection unveils semantic manifolds. For example, on the Head Pose dataset, by just dragging the faces looking far left to the left and those looking far right to the right, all faces are re-arranged on a continuum even on the vertical axis (face up and down). This end-to-end framework can be used for fast, visual semi-supervised learning, manifold exploration, interactive domain adaptation of neural embeddings and transfer learning.

description: An asymptotically exact result is obtained for the renormalized phonon energy as a function of the on-site Coulomb repulsion $U_{ee}$ in the half-filled Hubbard-Holstein model in the strong-coupling region at zero temperature. The result is obtained on the basis of the effective Hamiltonian derived in the antiadiabatic region with due attention to the transition from CDW- to SDW-regime with the increase of $U_{ee}$. Somewhat contrary to naive expectation, the phonon energy is found to shift in the insulating phase and the shift becomes larger in the SDW regime than that in the CDW regime.

description: During heavy rainfall events, stormwater exceeds the drainage capacity and overflows onto the urban surface, causing flooding problems. Risk and resilience assess the severity and recovery characteristics of flooding damage from static and dynamic perspectives independently. This work proposes a spatial grid-based integrated risk-resilience assessment framework for urban flooding to consider both flooding risk and resilience aspects at a detailed level. The framework formulates an urban drainage-surface coupled model to simulate the inundation process. A risk-resilience classification method is proposed to identify the flood-affected characteristics of each grid, with flooding risk and resilience values considering socio-economic characteristics and step-by-step inundation dynamics. According to case results and discussion, the grid-based classification classifies all the grids into four types with different risk and resilience levels, in which 7.02% grids are identified as the worst type with high risk and low resilience. The assessment framework enables detailed-level targeted management for urban flooding problems.

description: The recyclability and reuse of materials are essential for satisfying the current demand for polymers while alleviating the impact on the environment. Herein, a series of self-repairing polymeric materials were synthesized by exploiting the reversibility of the Diels-Alder (DA) reaction. The main polymer chains were composed of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) and polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE). The DA reaction kinetics and the mechanism of retro-Diels–Alder (rDA) reaction were studied with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The cross-linking conversion rate exceeded 80% after 100 min and reached 99% after 50 h at 65 °C, which is remarkably higher and faster than previous studies. The polymeric material was shown to have excellent reusability and high-temperature self-repairing properties. In addition, the polymer was also capable of performing high-temperature shaping and solvent recovery shaping.

description: On the basis of the transfer matrix technique an analytical method to investigate the stationary states, for an electron in one-dimensional periodic structures in an external electrical field, displaying the symmetry of the problem is developed. These solutions are shown to be current-carrying. It is also shown that the electron spectrum for infinite structures is continuous, and the corresponding wave functions do not satisfy the symmetry condition of the problem.

description: A collisionless shock wave is treated as a streaming plasma instability in the interstellar medium (ISM). We assume that in a steady state, this instability propagates through the ISM as a self-driven plasma instability, whereby the parameters of the instability are determined such that it causes density and velocity jumps as well as isotropization of the particle velocities, which then must be in accordance with MHD theory. The process of resonant interaction and particle scattering off such instability and their backscattering to an upstream region is simulated. We find that some ISM particles bounce off a shock and thus become suprathermal and eligible to enter the process of acceleration to cosmic ray energies by the mechanism of diffusive shock acceleration.
