description: A family T of digraphs is a complete set of obstructions for a digraph H if for an arbitrary digraph G the existence of a homomorphism from G to H is equivalent to the non-existence of a homomorphism from any member of T to G. A digraph H is said to have tree duality if there exists a complete set of obstructions T consisting of orientations of trees. We show that if H has tree duality, then its arc graph delta H also has tree duality, and we derive a family of tree obstructions for delta H from the obstructions for H. Furthermore we generalise our result to right adjoint functors on categories of relational structures. We show that these functors always preserve tree duality, as well as polynomial CSPs and the existence of near-unanimity functions.

description: Transparent thin film transistors (TFTs) have been the subject of
      extensive scientific research over the last couple of decades, for
      applications in displays and imaging, as their implementation in
      active-matrix liquid crystal displays backplanes is expected to improve
      their performance in terms of switching times and stability. To this end,
      several material systems have emerged as contenders to address this need
      for a high performance, low power, large-area electronics i.e. thin film
      silicon, organic semiconductors and metal oxides. The electronic
      limitations of thin film silicon are well documented, and although organic
      semiconductors have seen significant improvements in recent years, their
      persistent low mobility and instability means that they are unlikely to
      progress beyond niche applications.

      This thesis is focused on the investigation of the physical properties of
      metal oxides and their implementation in TFTs. Metal oxide based TFTs were
      fabricated by spray pyrolysis, a simple and large-area-compatible
      deposition technique.

      More precisely, the implementation of titanium-aluminate and
      niobium-aluminate both wide band gap and high-k gate dielectric metal
      oxides in solution processed ZnO-based TFTs was studied and high
      performance, low operational voltage devices were fabricated. ZnO-based
      TFTs employing stoichiometric Al2O3-TiO2 (k~13, Eg~4.5 eV) or Nb2O5-Al2O3
      (k~13.5, Eg~5.1 eV) as gate dielectric exhibited low leakage currents,
      high on-off current modulation ratios, high field-effect mobilities and
      low subthreshold voltage swings.

      Furthermore, the implementation of solution-processed crystalline
      indium-zinc oxide (c-IZO) as active channel material in TFTs was equally
      investigated and high-performance c-IZO-based TFTs employing Al2O3 were
      fabricated. The effects of metal cation doping in c-IZO matrix were
      investigated in particular, and c-IZO:X (X:Ga,Y,Zr,Nb) based TFTs were
      fabricated and their properties were assessed for each dopant. Amongst
      them, Yttrium doped c-IZO (c-YIZO)-based TFTs exhibited the best
      performance in terms of low off-state currents, high field-effect
      mobilities and low subthreshold voltage swings.
Storia, memoria e la Big House in The Last September di Elizabeth Bowen
Creators: name: Prina, Federico

Subjects: Letteratura anglo-irlandese; Elizabeth Bowen; Big House; Big-House novel; Ascendancy; Anglo-Ireland

description: La decadenza dell’Ascendancy anglo-irlandese e il tramonto della Big House, la grande casa di campagna dell’aristocrazia fondiaria protestante, costituiscono il fil rouge che attraversa diversi romanzi di Elizabeth Bowen tra cui The Last September (1929), The Heat of the Day (1949) e A World of Love (1955). In essi la Big House non solo riveste un ruolo centrale all’interno della narrazione come luogo cardine intorno a cui ruotano le vicende dei personaggi, ma assurge anche a emblema della crisi della tradizione e della cultura anglo-irlandesi, a simbolo di un passato fulgore dell’Ascendancy protestante, la landed class ormai in piena decadenza in un’Irlanda che ha subito molteplici mutamenti storici, politici, culturali e sociali. In The Last September Bowen associa Danielstown, la Big House del romanzo, alla “anthropological snobbery” (Glendinning 1988, p. 5) – tratto distintivo dell’aristocrazia anglo-irlandese – di Sir Richard e Lady Naylor, i suoi proprietari, i quali sono ancora saldamente legati alla staticità e alla continuità tipiche dell’Ascendancy della vecchia generazione: la loro grande dimora rurale simboleggia il passato, la memoria di una nazione che non c’è più e di un assetto sociale e di una tradizione che, sebbene esercitino ancora una forte presa sui suoi abitanti, sono gravemente minacciati dai profondi cambiamenti storico-politici che interessano la ‘nuova’ Irlanda post Prima guerra mondiale. L’incendio finale che divora Danielstown, e con essa la storia e i ricordi che la grande dimora rurale porta con sé, coincide con la dissoluzione dell’ordine e della gerarchia rappresentati dalla Big House e dai suoi proprietari.

Monumenti coloniali in Belgio. Luoghi della memoria, dell’oblio, della contestazione
Creators: name: Liti, Giulia Allegra
Publisher: name: ECHO
Year: 2023
Subjects: Places of memory; colonialism; monuments; toponymy; decolonization of public space

description: This article focuses on the places of memory of colonialism in Belgium. The aim is to analyse the changing meanings attributed to colonial monuments over time and to reflect on the decolonisation of public space. The confrontation with the colonial past is often problematic for former colonialist countries. The case of Belgium is significant for the extreme ways in which it has managed the memory of its colonial experience. From the 1960s to the beginning of the new millennium, colonialism has been almost completely removed from collective memory. Subsequently, the discourse on the colonial past has taken on an unprecedented relevance in public and academic debate. A typical feature of colonial propaganda was the celebration of the conquest in through statues, monuments and toponymy. Today these places of memory of colonialism are debated and controvert. The perception of colonial monuments has changed and the legitimacy of their presence in public space is being questioned. Although the first episodes of protest in Belgium date back to the 2000s, the debate on the decolonisation of public space exploded in 2020, following the protests of the Black Lives Matter movement. These have caused controversies, vandalisms and demands to change street names and remove colonialist monuments that have provoked various reactions and discussions. In Belgium, among the protagonists of this debate, there are also Congolese artists who suggest insights into the relations between past and present and the current consequences of colonialism. Through the analysis of colonial places of memory and actions of decolonisation of public space in Belgium, we intend to investigate the evolution of the collective imagery on colonialism and observe to what extent these operations can contribute to a critical reflection on the colonial past.

Electronic and Thermal Properties of $\text{GeTe/Sb}_{2}\text{Te}_{3}$ Superlattices by ab-initio Approach: Impact of Van der Waals Gaps on Vertical Lattice Thermal Conductivity

description: In the last decade, several works have focused on exploring the material and electrical properties of $\text{GeTe/Sb}_{2}\text{Te}_{3}$ superlattices (SLs) in particular because of some first device implementations demonstrating interesting performances such as fast switching speed, low energy consumption, and non-volatility. However, the switching mechanism in such SL-based devices remains under debate. In this work, we investigate the prototype $\text{GeTe/Sb}_{2}\text{Te}_{3}$ SLs, to analyze fundamentally their electronic and thermal properties by ab initio methods. We find that the resistive contrast is small among the different phases of $\text{GeTe/Sb}_{2}\text{Te}_{3}$ because of a small electronic gap (about 0.1 eV) and a consequent semi-metallic-like behavior. At the same time the out-of-plane lattice thermal conductivity is rather small, while varying up to four times among the different phases, from 0.11 to 0.45 W/m$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$, intimately related to the number of Van der Waals (VdW) gaps in a unit block. Such findings confirm the importance of the thermal improvement achievable in $\text{GeTe/Sb}_{2}\text{Te}_{3}$ super-lattices devices, highlighting the impact of the material stacking and the role of VdW gaps on the thermal engineering of the Phase-Change Memory cell.

La costruzione della memoria della guerra lontano dalla terra d’origine. I Commonwealth’s War Cemeteries nella geografia italiana
Creators: name: Mirabella, Annateresa
Publisher: name: ECHO
Year: 2023
Subjects: “War Cemeteries”; “Collective Memory”; “War Memory”; “Environmental Sustainability”

description: As well as yesterday, the Memory of War is a more and more necessary matter, since any country finds the only possible antidote to violence and destruction in the social restoration of its own identity. Burial places have not only with the function of commemoration but also of narration, in order to display a clear point of view on historical events. The considerable significance of cemeteries is still a subject of deep interest in the Social Sciences. About the etymology of the word “cemetery”, semiologist Eugénie Bechoux has pointed out how the equivalent word koimêtêrion in Greek language – which means 'dormitory' - may be sufficient to exemplify the form of “collective negation” that accompanies the perception of the place, which in fact imitates the urban, living form with the aim of deceive the visitors and give them a positive experience. The Modern Era has been crossed by powerful considerations on life, death and society, questioning the different structures of places such as memorials. The rural cemetery, for example, was the outcome of the transformation that took place during the Nineteenth century in the Anglo-Saxon perception towards burial places, evolving and becoming more popular during and after the conflicts of the last century. The Kenyon Report of 1918, compiled by the inter-governmental organisation Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) for the commemoration of Commonwealth soldiers, followed this approach when established the criteria to build more than 20,000 memorial places worldwide. In Italy there are more than 100 of these burial places, graves or cemeteries adapting to the surrounding area. Interesting cases are Cassino, Gradara, Roma and Salerno War Cemeteries. The purpose of the article should be an investigation about the connections between these places and the local area, the perceptions from different social perspectives, together with a reflection about a tangible contribution related with issues of environmental sustainability.

description: The main goal of this book is to create a general theory of approaches in various countries how to cope with demographic change. It focuses on the search for innovative responses to population "shrinkage" and the consequences of population ageing in two neighbouring countries: Germany and Poland. The comparison of Germany and Poland aims at showing in detail the distinctive ways in which both countries have tried to resolve problems posed by demographic change, such as fiscal capacity and unemployment rates, in particular in education and local government. While Germany is usually seen as a corporatist welfare state (characterized by, for example, social insurance based on contributions paid over the years and adjusted to individual income), Poland is regarded as a welfare state "in transition" (which is still developing a unique model of social policy as initiated after 1989)
Spin lattices with two-body Hamiltonians for which the ground state encodes a cluster state

description: We present a general procedure for constructing lattices of qubits with a Hamiltonian composed of nearest-neighbour two-body interactions such that the ground state encodes a cluster state. We give specific details for lattices in one-, two-, and three-dimensions, investigating both periodic and fixed boundary conditions, as well as present a proof for the applicability of this procedure to any graph. We determine the energy gap of these systems, which is shown to be independent of the size of the lattice but dependent on the type of lattice (in particular, the coordination number), and investigate the scaling of this gap in terms of the coupling constants of the Hamiltonian. We provide a comparative analysis of the different lattice types with respect to their usefulness for measurement-based quantum computation.

description: We extract groups of galaxies from the SDSS Data Release 5 with the purpose of studying the supercluster-void network and environmental properties of groups therein. We use a modified friends-of-friends (FoF) method with adopted variable linking length in transverse and radial direction to eliminate selection effects and to find reliably as many groups as possible to track the supercluster network. We take into account various selection effects due to the use of a magnitude limited sample. To determine linking length scaling we study the luminosity-density relation in observed groups. We follow the changes in group sizes and mean galaxy number densities within groups when shifting nearby groups to larger distances. As a result we show that the linking length should be a slowly growing function with distance. Our final sample contains 17143 groups in the equatorial, and 33219 groups in the northern part of the DR5 survey with membership N_g >= 2. The group catalogue is available at our web-site http://www.obs.ee/~erik/index.html. Due to a narrow magnitude window in the SDSS the group catalogue based on this survey has been obtained by moderately growing linking length scaling law up to redshift z = 0.12. Above this redshift the scaling law turns down. In the redshift range z=0.12 - 0.2 only the cores are detected. Along with applying weights when calculating luminosities it is possible to use groups for determination of the large-scale luminosity-density field.

Trasmissione della memoria in contesto diasporico: l’esempio della Casa de Goa di Lisbona
Creators: name: Panizzi, Chiara
Publisher: name: ECHO
Year: 2023
Subjects: Transmission of Memory; Goan Diaspora; Transnationalism; Identity

description: Established in Lisbon in 1987, the association of Casa de Goa aims to promote events and occasions to preserve the memory and the identity of Goa. With this in mind, the institution regularly receives and organizes events that aim to reunite the Goan community, and the ones known as “friends of Goa”, that is to say all those who, even without Goan origins, feel in some way linked with this tiny Indian State. With an activity that has continued incessantly for thirty-six years, the Casa de Goa became a real point of reference and an important gathering point for the members of Goan diasporic community in Portugal. Although is impossible to know the exact number of members of this community, it can be said that it is one of the largest in the diasporic context and this fact certainly cannot be surprising if one considers that the Portuguese presence in Goa dates back to 1510 and lasted until 1961, a year that definitively marks the end of Portuguese colonialism and the annexation of Goa to the Indian Union. This article aims to present the Casa de Goa in a dual meaning: as a lieu de mémoire (Nora 1994), a physical space that becomes a point of reference for the community, taking on a specific meaning in the identity narrative of the group; and, simultaneously, as a symbol of a community, of a group of people who come together to resurface and transmit their memories to new generations. In agreement with Halbwachs, we will understand individual and collective memory as intrinsically linked and as “partial and selective reconstruction of the past, whose points of reference are provided by the interests and conformation of the present society” (Jedlowski 2001, p. 25). This category of memory will, therefore, be considered as “the seat of the processes of selection, removal, interpretation, elaboration of the legacies of the past” (Fabietti, Matera 1999, p. 17) and as a memory that seeks to maintain a group, a community or a cohesive and united society, so that its members feel part of the whole, of a “common feeling” (Fabietti-Matera 1999). In this sense, memory will be examined as profoundly linked to space (that of the starting point, i.e., that of the land of origin, Goa, and that of the association's headquarters), but also as inevitably linked to movement (that of the members of the diaspora). In fact, since the community investigated here is located in a diasporic context, formed by its nature of continuously moving transnational networks, it would not be possible to omit this dimension. On the other hand, as underlined by the scholar Astrid Erll, the most recent research regarding places of memory is starting to include shared, multicultural and transnational spaces, combining memory studies with postcolonial and diaspora studies (Erll 2011, p. 9).

Reset di memoria. Lo spazio urbano di Stoccolma tra modernismo e folkhem nella letteratura di Lena Andersson
Creators: name: Za, Giovanni
Publisher: name: ECHO
Year: 2023
Subjects: Folkhem; Lena Andersson; geocritica; Stoccolma; letteratura e spazio

description: La ricostruzione dello spazio urbano di Stoccolma, realizzata in più tappe tra fine Ottocento e secondo dopoguerra, ha ampiamente ridefinito i perimetri materiali ed immateriali della città e posto in una prospettiva critica l’eredità architettonica e antropologica del passato. La realizzazione del progetto sociale di folkhem (“casa del popolo”), a partire dagli anni Trenta del Novecento, ha contribuito significativamente a una riprogettazione degli spazi pubblici e alla definizione di una nuova identità, in cui la memoria e le tradizioni architettoniche – il nucleo stesso della città – sono state considerate come irrecuperabili alla realizzazione di un ideale urbanistico funzionale e modernista.

L’opera di Lena Andersson – il romanzo d’esordio Var det bra så? (Andersson 1999; Desidera altro?) e la recente trilogia (Sveas son, Andersson 2018; Il figlio di Svea; Dottern, Andersson 2020; La figlia; Koryféerna: en konspirationsroman, Andersson 2022; I Corifei: un romanzo cospirazionista) – riflette sull’influenza decisiva di folkhem nella società svedese del XX secolo e su come gli esiti del processo di modernizzazione operino un reset di memoria, ambendo a cancellare il passato dal paesaggio urbano nel nome di un omnicomprensivo presente, “punta di freccia della modernità”. Tale operazione, tuttavia, mostra risultati ambivalenti: i territori della periferia di Andersson appaiono, come nella definizione di Henri Lefebvre in La produzione dello spazio (1974), come spazio di rappresentazione, conformi al progetto e all’ideale del potere, ma sprovvisti di una pratica spaziale, con cui gli abitanti possano costituire un proprio senso di identità e appartenenza.

Pathways of cancer care burdens: The experiences of
      Asian American immigrant cancer patients and their family carers
Creators: name: Mesia, Rachel
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2019

description: Background: The burden of cancer embodies the lived
      experiences and perspectives of people who have dealt with the challenges
      and difficulties of cancer. The landscape of cancer care in the United
      States has transitioned to a predominantly outpatient care system, so
      cancer care has become increasingly burdensome on the patient and family.

      Aim: The thesis describes the cancer care burden
      experiences of Chinese, Filipino and Indian American cancer-diagnosed
      immigrants and their family carers as well as explores the factors
      associated with their cancer care burdens.

      Method: Interpretivist and constructivist qualitative
      approaches were used to gather and analyse data from 9 cancer-diagnosed
      individuals and 9 family carers. Purposive and snowball sampling methods
      were employed. A semi-structured interview format was used for data
      collection.

      Results: The analysis generated three main themes that
      reflect cancer care burden experiences of the sample population:
      psychosocial burdens, burdens related to healthcare, and competing
      priorities. Several factors related to social, economic, cultural, and
      institutional context were found to have a relationship with the cancer
      care burdens.

      Conclusion: The findings illustrate that Asian American
      immigrant families deal with complex and multifaceted cancer care burdens
      that are connected to the social, economic and cultural conditions that
      shape their lives. Insight from the thesis is a critical first step for
      understanding the pathways of cancer care burdens amongst immigrant
      families.

description: Rabies, one of the deadliest zoonotic virus world has ever seen. Though world is progressing in many sectors even in medical science, still there is no specific treatment ever successful for rabies till date. The options we have for decreasing the prevalence of rabies is by understanding and abruption of lifecycle & transmission, prevention (for that we are currently depending on Vaccination). Dog is most common reservoir host and active transmitter of rabies, that part is well known for everyone but feline rabies is also not a new term. Rabies cases and deaths from the cat bites are noted across the world. General public mostly not aware that cat can also transmitted rabies as same as dog. The main reason for many bite cases leading to death is solely by negligence in getting post bite vaccination and not taking cat bite as serious as dog bite. The knowledge and scientific reports, understanding regarding the feline rabies is minimum than canine rabies.

Lo spazio digitale: una prospettiva eterotopica della memoria nell’era di Byung-Chul Han
Creators: name: Marzo, Umberto

Publisher: name: ECHO
Year: 2023
Subjects: Memory; heterotopia; heteochronia; dataism; cyberspace

description: The purpose of this paper is to provide elements for theoretical reflection about the space of the digital as a site of memory starting from the Foucauldian concept of heterotopia and in relation to Han's theses about cyberspace. The concept of heterotopia, deeply anchored in the structuralist approach, has exerted an undoubted influence in the social sciences and in the field of so-called memory studies. Heterotopias, which take the form of concretely realized utopias, subvert the traditional process of hierarchization of social space insofar as they are able to juxtapose – within a single real place – other places and spaces which are typically incompatible with each other. This process also takes place in relation to the temporal datum and through a breach of the traditional conception of time: think, by way of example, of cemeteries as a heterotopic – and, indeed, heterochronic – place where the opposite poles of ‘death’ and ‘eternity’ are reunited. Nowadays, the advent of information technologies and the pervasive spread of the digital in our lives have had a deep impact on what were traditionally considered the places of memory. For this reason, it appears necessary to question the space of memory within and in relation to the digital environment. Equally evident appears to be the role played by the French philosopher in the development of Han's thought. Starting with a reconstruction of the concept of heterotopia and its potential application in the digital sphere, this essay proposes a reading of cyberspace as a potential heterotopic place capable of fostering the construction of shared collective memories. Moreover, by breaking down the barriers of space and time, the digital becomes a place where humans can learn information, stories and past events in a manner not dissimilar (or even enhanced) to what other heterotopic places allow, acting in favour of that attribute of memory that Kant, in Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View, defines as ‘active/productive’, since it is able to make the past voluntarily present.

description: We present certain universal bounds on the capacity of quantum information storage and on the time scale of its retrieval for a generic quantum field theoretic system. The capacity, quantified by the microstate entropy, is bounded from above by the surface area of the object measured in units of a Goldstone decay constant. The Goldstone bosons are universally present due to the spontaneous breaking of Poincare and internal symmetries by the information-storing object. Applied to a black hole, the bound reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. However, the relation goes beyond gravity. The minimal time-scale required for retrieving the quantum information from a system is equal to its volume measured in units of the same Goldstone scale. For a black hole this reproduces the Page time as well as the quantum break-time. The same expression for the information retrieval time is shared by non-gravitational saturated states in gauge theories, including QCD. The saturated objects exhibit some universal signatures such as the emission of ultra-soft radiation. Similar bounds apply to non-relativistic many-body systems.

description: Motivated by the lack of consensus on whether or not de Sitter (dS) lies in the Swampland, we use a recently developed braneworld construction and known Anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua to compute an explicit effective dS cosmology in three dimensions. We consider a non-perturbative AdS$_4$ vacuum decaying to another lower AdS$_4$ vacuum via bubble-nucleation. We also consider the more speculative case where a dS$_4$ decay to a Minkowski$_4$. The Israel junction conditions are solved across the bubble and we obtain the Friedmann equations from which the cosmological constants can be read off, in the respective cases. The cosmological constants are computed in a flux background yielding small positive values admitting a dS cosmology. However, we find that an energetically viable model in the AdS to AdS case requires more fine-tuning.

Les stratégies discursives à l’œuvre dans le discours institutionnel sur la migration: le cas des noms propres au sein du profil twitter du Ministère de l’Immigration, la Francisation et l’Intégration au Québec

description: Institutional discourse, defined as any discourse issued by an entity with an official position within the state apparatus, has specific discursive characteristics. The presence of official institutional profiles on social networks stimulates the analysis of forms of enunciation in search of discursive strategies influenced by the medium. Our contribution examines the Twitter profile of the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration du Québec (MIFI), from which we extracted a corpus of around 3,000 statements that we analysed using the methodology of corpus-assisted discourse analysis, in search of syntactic and lexical-semantic structures. The results of our analysis, which is mainly qualitative, highlight the discursive role of the enunciator, which varies according to the typology of the utterances: it fulfils an assistance function in the sub-corpus of comments and a socio-cultural amplification function in the sub-corpus of retweets. More specifically, for the tweets sub-corpus (considered as the first production utterances), we examined the use of fictitious proper names to identify the discourse strategies employing them. We have identified a discursive strategy of training narrative and a discursive strategy of testimony: in the latter case, there are differences when the fictitious proper noun designates a member of the host community as opposed to a member of the host community.

description: Celem omawianej książki jest spojrzenie z perspektywy mikro – regionalnej oraz makro – międzynarodowej na przemiany tożsamości dwóch mniejszości zamieszkujących obszar Autonomicznego Województwa Śląskiego w okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego: Ślązaków i Żydów. Tożsamość zbiorowa tych mniejszości w ujęciu autorki jest dynamiczna – podlega zmianom wraz ze zmianą sytuacji społecznej, politycznej, kulturowej i ekonomicznej przedstawicieli mniejszości oraz wspólnot jako takich. Głównym przedmiotem omawianej książki jest wpływ polonizacji podejmowanej głównie przez przedstawicieli władzy państwowej, w tym poszczególnych jej przejawów w zakresie edukacji, na badane mniejszości oraz reakcje mniejszości na działania władz. Proces ten jest jednak ujęty z szerokiej perspektywy obejmującej sytuację międzynarodową, sytuację w Polsce oraz na Polskim Górnym Śląsku jako takim.
The complex intracluster medium of Abell 1569 and its interaction with central radio galaxies

description: We present the first in-depth study of X-ray emission from a nearby ($z\sim0.0784$) galaxy cluster Abell 1569 using an archival $Chandra$ observation. A1569 consists of two unbound subclusters $-$ a northern subcluster (A1569N) hosting a double-lobed radio galaxy 1233+169 at its centre, and a southern subcluster (A1569S) harbouring a wide-angle-tailed (WAT) radio source 1233+168. X-ray emission from A1569N and A1569S extends to a radius $r\sim248$ kpc and $r\sim370$ kpc, respectively, indicating that the two gas clumps are group-scale systems. The two subclusters have low X-ray luminosities ($\sim10^{42-43}$ erg s$^{-1}$), average elemental abundances $\sim$1/4 Z$_\odot$, low average temperatures ($\sim2$ keV), and lack large ($r\gtrsim40-50$ kpc) cool cores associated with the intracluster gas. We detect a pair of cavities coincident with the radio lobes of 1233+169 in A1569N. The total mechanical power associated with the cavity pair is an order of magnitude larger than the X-ray radiative loss in the cavity-occupied region, providing corroborating evidence for cavity-induced heating of the intragroup gas in A1569N. A1569S exhibits possible evidence for a small-scale cluster-subcluster merger, as indicated by its high central entropy, and the presence of local gas elongation and a density discontinuity in between the bent radio tails of 1233+168. The discontinuity is indicative of a weak merger shock with Mach Number, $M\sim1.7$. The most plausible geometry for the ongoing interaction is a head-on merger occurring between A1569S and a subcluster falling in from the west along the line bisecting the WAT tails.

description: The nature of spin-density wave and its relation with superconductivity are crucial issues in the newly discovered Fe-based high temperature superconductors. Particularly it is unclear whether the superconducting phase and spin density wave (SDW) are truly exclusive from each other as suggested by certain experiments. With angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we here report exchange splittings of the band structures in Sr1-xKxFe2As2 (x=0,0.1,0.2), and the non-rigid-band behaviors of the splitting. Our data on single crystalline superconducting samples unambiguously prove that SDW and superconductivity could coexist in iron-pnictides.

description: We consider a general model of a disordered copolymer with adsorption. This includes, as particular cases, a generalization of the copolymer at a selective interface introduced by Garel et al. [Europhys. Lett. 8 (1989) 9--13], pinning and wetting models in various dimensions, and the Poland--Scheraga model of DNA denaturation. We prove a new variational upper bound for the free energy via an estimation of noninteger moments of the partition function. As an application, we show that for strong disorder the quenched critical point differs from the annealed one, for example, if the disorder distribution is Gaussian. In particular, for pinning models with loop exponent $0

title: Wyndham Lewis for sale: a study of Wyndham Lewis and Chatto and Windus, 1926-32
Creators: name: Mills, Gareth
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: This thesis is a historical and exploratory study of Wyndham Lewis’ relationship with the publisher 
Chatto and Windus 1926-32. Based on original, aggregated, primary research from both publishers’
and authorial archives, this thesis documents the extended relationship between Lewis and Chatto 
by referencing letter books, ledger books and other historical documentation from The Archive of 
British Publishers and Printers (Reading), and Lewis’ author archives (Cornell, Buffalo). The title, 
‘Wyndham Lewis for Sale’, references the fact that Lewis has been traditionally understood as an 
avant-garde artist who resisted commercial ventures, and whose relationship to the work of art as 
commodity was diagnostic and detached. This thesis, by contextualising Lewis’ relationship with his 
publishers, suggests that Wyndham Lewis was far from the highbrow isolate suggested by many 
scholars; that in fact, his creative output was informed by questions of commodified art far more 
explicitly and extensively than any of his peers. This thesis argues that Wyndham Lewis should be 
properly understood as an artist and writer whose work analytically dramatises the avant-garde’s 
attempts to control the direction of an increasingly commodified book culture, especially because he 
did not succeed in attaining a position of institutionalised cultural authority as did some of his peers. 
It also shows, through a newly unearthed empirical history, that his relationship with Chatto and 
Windus is an overlooked and valuable record of commercial publishing’s engagement with the 
traditional avant-garde.
Reinterpretation of proton strangeness between ATLAS and CMS measurements

description: We reexamine the shapes of the strange quark parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton by means of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) analysis of {\hera} deep inelastic scattering cross section measurement at DESY, and inclusive gauge boson production and $W$ boson production associated with a charm quark from LHC at CERN. We find that there is an overall agreement on the strange quark distributions obtained from CMS $W$ + charm and ATLAS $W/Z$ data at the parton momentum fraction range $x \lesssim 10^{-2}$. Meanwhile, there is also a strong tension between these data towards large $x$. We find that this tension fades away if the ATLAS measurement of $W/Z$ production is analyzed together with the ATLAS $W$ + charm data. The $W/Z$ and $W$ + charm data both from ATLAS and CMS experiments agree that the proton strangeness is enhanced towards small momentum fraction $x$ and is smoothly suppressed at large $x$. Furthermore, a strong $x$ dependence of the strange-to-non-strange parton ratio $R_s(x,Q^2)$ is observed.
