description: In this work, I investigate the noncommutative Poisson algebra of classical observables corresponding to a proposed general Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics, \cite{1}. I treat some classical systems with various potentials and some Physical interpretations are given concerning the presence of noncommutativity at large scales (Celeste Mechanics) directly tied to the one present at small scales (Quantum Mechanics) and its possible relation with UV/IR mixing.

description: This paper reviews past and ongoing efforts in using high-throughput ab-inito calculations in combination with machine learning models for materials design. The primary focus is on bulk materials, i.e., materials with fixed, ordered, crystal structures, although the methods naturally extend into more complicated configurations. Efficient and robust computational methods, computational power, and reliable methods for automated database-driven high-throughput computation are combined to produce high-quality data sets. This data can be used to train machine learning models for predicting the stability of bulk materials and their properties. The underlying computational methods and the tools for automated calculations are discussed in some detail. Various machine learning models and, in particular, descriptors for general use in materials design are also covered.

description: Remote interpretation is now digitally distorted. Something considered distant can be equally close, pervasive, a-spatial. With this topic, we intend to open the debate on the tensions caused by the multiple interpretations that the word “remote” in relation with (the complex binomial) “public art”.

Is it a remote feeling that will remain? What path did the remote word take to us, today? Is the remote as a medium here to stay? Will the far, off-center (eccentric), have a component of unexpected surprise?

What scale is remote, sustainable, green, universal, atomic? With this call for articles, essays, reviews of book or exhibitions, we will seek to draw an overview of the present and the past, crossing views (among many others) from the history of art, sculpture, artistic practices, design, architecture and urbanism.

description: Spatially and spectrally resolved microscopic images of spontaneous and stimulated emissions are imaged at the mirror facets of a GaAs T-shaped quantum wire laser with high uniformity. Laser emission from the one-dimensional ground state reveals a circular image located at the core of a T-shaped optical waveguide but significantly smaller in area than the low power spontaneous emission from the same waveguide. These images unambiguously allow assignment of all spontaneous and laser emissions to the wire ground state and respective intersecting wells in the structure.

description: Against the conventional picture that the mass matrix forms in the quark sectors will take somewhat different structures from those in the lepton sectors, on the basis of an idea that all the mass matrices of quarks and leptons have the same texture, a universal texture of quark and lepton mass matrices is proposed by assuming a discrete symmetry Z_3 and an extended flavor 2\leftrightarrow 3 symmetry. The texture is described by three parameters (including phase parameter). According to this ansatz, the neutrino masses and mixings are investigated.

O2- and CO-Rich Atmospheres for Potentially Habitable Environments on TRAPPIST-1 Planets

description: Small exoplanets of nearby M dwarf stars present the possibility to find and characterize habitable worlds within the next decade. TRAPPIST-1, an ultracool M dwarf star, was recently found to have seven Earth-sized planets of predominantly rocky composition. The planets e, f, and g can have a liquid water ocean on their surface given appropriate atmospheres of N2 and CO2. Particularly, climate models have shown that the planets e and f can sustain a global liquid water ocean, for >=0.2 bar CO2 plus 1 bar N2, or >=2 bars CO2, respectively. These atmospheres are irradiated by ultraviolet emission from the star's moderately active chromosphere, and the consequence of this irradiation is unknown. Here we show that chemical reactions driven by the irradiation can produce and maintain more than 0.2 bar O2 and 0.05 bar CO if the CO2 is >=0.1 bar. The abundance of O2 and CO can rise to more than 1 bar under certain boundary conditions. Because of this O2-CO runaway, habitable environments on the TRAPPIST-1 planets entail an O2- and CO-rich atmosphere with coexisting O3. The only process that would prevent the runaway is direct recombination of O2 and CO in the ocean, a reaction that is facilitated biologically. Our results indicate that O2, O3, and CO should be considered together with CO2 as the primary molecules in the search for atmospheric signatures from temperate and rocky planets of TRAPPIST-1 and other M dwarf stars.

description: We recover a video of the motion taking place in a hidden scene by observing changes in indirect illumination in a nearby uncalibrated visible region. We solve this problem by factoring the observed video into a matrix product between the unknown hidden scene video and an unknown light transport matrix. This task is extremely ill-posed, as any non-negative factorization will satisfy the data. Inspired by recent work on the Deep Image Prior, we parameterize the factor matrices using randomly initialized convolutional neural networks trained in a one-off manner, and show that this results in decompositions that reflect the true motion in the hidden scene.

The complex task of cataloguing street and public art
Creators: name: Luque Rodrigo, Laura
name: Moral Ruiz, Carmen
Publisher: name: CAP - Public Art Journal
Year: 2021

description: The research, conservation and divulgation of scientific knowledge of artistic works, begin with cataloguing process. The importance of cataloguing urban and public art stem from their ephemeral nature and dispersion. Social networks might contribute to identify this type of work of art. However, it is still necessary to connect the work of art to its urban context since it cannot be dissociated of it. The nature of this art implies the use of diverse techniques such as photogrammetry and interviews with the artists and actions like promoting collective projects which involves the community.


Cataloguing urban art is an emerging issue with some new theoretical advance but barely enough practical experiences. The Group of Urban and Public Art belonging to the Spanish Group of International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, has developed some theoretical approaches taking into consideration the differences between graffiti, self-organized urban art and public art. These approaches and principles are now implemented in a research project in Jaén (Spain) entitled ‘Painted in wall. Study of wall paintings in the province of Jaén in the 20th and 21th centuries' funded by Instituto de Estudios Giennenses.


The advances of this research are raised on this proposal paper. The example of a cataloguing card, a thesaurus and an application procedure which might be extrapolated to other examples. As a matter of fact, synergies are being generated with other projects like the cataloguing of work of art in Callegenera Festival in Monterrey (Mexico).

description: In high temperature cuprate superconductors, the interlayer coupling between the CuO$_2$ planes plays an important role in dictating superconductivity, as indicated by the sensitive dependence of the critical temperature (T$_C$) on the number of CuO$_2$ planes in one structural unit. In Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ superconductor with two CuO$_2$ planes in one structural unit, the interaction between the two CuO$_2$ planes gives rise to band splitting into two Fermi surface sheets (bilayer splitting) that have distinct superconducting gap. The iron based superconductors are composed of stacking of the FeAs/FeSe layers; whether the interlayer coupling can cause similar band splitting and its effect on superconductivity remain unclear. Here we report high resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on a newly discovered iron based superconductor, KCa$_2$Fe$_4$As$_4$F$_2$ (T$_C$=33.5\,K) which consists of stacking FeAs blocks with two FeAs layers separated by insulating Ca$_2$F$_2$ blocks. Bilayer splitting effect is observed for the first time that gives rise to totally five hole-like Fermi surface sheets around the Brilliouin zone center. Band structure calculations reproduce the observed bilayer splitting by identifying interlayer interorbital interaction between the two FeAs layers within one FeAs block. All the hole-like pockets around the zone center exhibit Fermi surface-dependent and nodeless superconducting gap. The gap functions with short-range antiferromagetic fluctuations are proposed and the gap symmetry can be well understood when the interlayer pairing is considered. The particularly strong interlayer pairing is observed for one of the bands. Our observations provide key information on the interlayer coupling and interlayer pairing in understanding superconductivity in iron based superconductors.

description: Two precise and selective stability-indicating RP-LC methods have been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of metolazone in its binary mixture with losartan potassium (method 1) and spironolactone (method 2) in the presence of their degradation products. For method 1, the chromatographic separation was achieved on Kromasil C18 column, the mobile phase consisted of a mixture of 0.1% ortho-phosphoric acid in acetonitrile and 0.1% ortho-phosphoric acid in water (28:72, v/v) pumped at flow rate 2 mL/min and UV detection at 235 nm. Linearity was determined over the concentration range of 2–16µg/mL for metolazone and 40–320µg/mL for losartan potassium. For method 2, chromatographic separation of metolazone and spironolactone was achieved on a Symmetry C8 column using a mobile phase that consisted of acetonitrile, methanol, and 0.1% ortho-phosphoric in water in gradient mode pumped at a flow rate 1.5 mL/min with programed wavelength detection. Linearity was determined over the concentration range of 2–16µg/mL for metolazone and 20–160µg/mL for spironolactone. The suggested methods were proved to be highly selective, precise and accurate for simultaneous determination of the cited drugs in their combined pharmaceutical dosage form in the presence of their degradation products. The proposed methods were validated in compliance with ICH guidelines.HighlightsSynchronized determination of metolazone and co-formulated drugs in presence of their degradation products.Act as a method for screening of metolazone and co-formulated drugs in quality control laboratories.Validation of suggested methods according to ICH guidelines.The pathway of degradation of metolazone under different stress conditions was proposed.

Year: 2021

description: We provide an analytic observation of Iranian-Americans in Los Angeles and their strategies to overcome “displacement” and “othering” challenges in a city they now call home. Our focus is on the Iranian community’s efforts to manifest itself by investing in a specific manifestation of “cultural strategy” in the form of a permanent art installation—the Freedom Sculpture—and the underlying need for the community to make such an investment in the current political atmosphere. We conclude the article by considering the project’s outcomes, including the impact on the greater Los Angeles community. This sculpture creates an opportunity for Iranian-Americans to publicly tell their stories and talk about who they are; it is a medium through which Iranian-Americans can start a dialogue with other citizens and thereby achieve greater integration. Accordingly, the role of the built environment in fortifying a sense of belonging is discussed, including ways that the environment can help new arrivals overcome certain aspects of an identity crisis.

description: Let G be a compact, connected Lie group, acting smoothly on a manifold M. Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson described a small Cartan model for the equivariant cohomology of M, quasi-isomorphic to the standard Cartan complex of equivariant differential forms. In this paper, we construct an explicit cochain map from the small Cartan model into the standard Cartan model, inducing an isomorphism in cohomology. The construction involves the solution of a remarkable inhomogeneous Maurer-Cartan equation. This solution has further applications to the theory of transgression in the Weil algebra, and to the Chevalley-Koszul theory of the cohomology of principal bundles.

description: The current dissertation investigates the framework of developing good practices for entrepreneurship in schools. Teaching entrepreneurship reveals specific benefits that students can reap as entrepreneurship programs influence students' business attitudes and intentions and increase the intention to start a business. Also, the acceptance of entrepreneurship by teachers is studied, whether they are positive or not, and then a study of good practices, how it should be introduced (eg textbook, interviews, educational trips to companies, etc.). At first, a review of the definitions of entrepreneurship and the variables used in the available literature is reviewed. Also, reference is made in the educational practices, the role of teachers, creativity, innovation, students' business attitudes and their impact. In the second part of the dissertation presents the statistical analysis of the responses of 188 participants in the research secondary school teachers, which proves as a key finding that teachers' views are positively associated with the introduction of entrepreneurship. Finally, the results, the limitations of the research and the suggestions for future research are highlighted

description: This paper deals with analyzing the structural responses of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) tubes filled with recycled and concrete material for developing composite piles, as an alternative to traditional steel reinforced piles in bridge foundations. The full-scale GFRP composite piles included three structural layers, using a fiber-oriented material that was inclined longitudinally. Almost 60% of the fibers were orientated at 35° from the longitudinal direction of the pile and the rest 40 percent were oriented at 86° from the horizontal axis. The segment between the inner and outer layers was inclined 3° from the hoop direction in the tube. The behavior of the filled GFRP tubes was semi-linear and resulted in increasing the total ductility and strength of the piles. Adjusting the material’s properties, such as the EAxial, EHoop, and Poisson ratios, optimized the results. The lateral strength of the GFRP composite pile and pre-stressed piles are investigated under both axial compression and bending moment loads. Based on the conducted parametric study, the required axial and bending capacities of piles in different ranges of eccentricities can be reached using the combination of tube wall thickness and GFRP fiber percentages.

description: This paper introduces value chain analysis and development as tools for addressing gender inequities in markets. We describe how factors such as access to assets, gendered education differentials and the nature and value of economic activities affect the way in which men and women participate and gain in value chains, distinguishing among household, institutional and chain levels of analysis. Current empirical evidence for the role of upgrading in value chains in impacting gender inequities in markets is weakened by our as yet imperfect understanding of the issues. However, horizontal coordination can reduce gender-related disparities in bargaining and management power as a precursor to stronger vertical relationships. Improvements in processes, products and functional distribution in value chains can improve chain-level outcomes leading to women's empowerment and, ultimately, to improved household poverty outcomes. However, this progression from positive impacts to desirable outcomes is not a given and depends on often complex context-specific socio-cultural norms. In particular, the benefits of women's participation in agricultural value chains are determined by their control of productive resources and household level decisions. Where both sexes play a role in decision making generic interventions, or even those applied to men only, can benefit both sexes. Where women do not participate in spending decisions a more gender-specific approach that targets underlying gender issues in households and institutions is required. We illustrate that unsound gender analyses can miss the point, resulting in flawed understanding of the real issues and ineffective or even damaging interventions. We conclude that the universal application of packages of generic 'default' interventions risk doing harm and that upgrading strategies should be applied on a case by case basis and only after a thorough and robust analysis of causal factors. We outline for practitioners what a robust analysis should look like and present a menu of policy options for acting to promote gender equity and reduce poverty using the value chain analysis and development approach.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί μια σχολιασμένη μετάφραση τριών ιταλικών δημοσιογραφικών κειμένων με θέμα την Λουνιτζάνα και δύο πολιτισμικά αντικείμενα της τοπικής γαστρονομίας, τα τεσταρόλι, τα οποία είναι ένα είδος ζυμαρικών, και τα κρασιά της περιοχής. Τα δύο πρώτα κείμενα που θα μεταφραστούν είναι αντιπαράθεσης, και το τρίτο αξιολογικό. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, το πρώτο κείμενο (“ED ECCO LE BRUTTE MANIERE DA CONSERVARE”) γράφτηκε από τον Τζόρτζο Μπόκα, και δημοσιεύτηκε στο ιταλικό περιοδικό Espresso στις 8 Ιουνίου 1980. Το δεύτερο κείμενο (“Giudizi gastronomici di Giorgio Bocca, i «testaroli» per le occasioni”) είναι του Μάριο Φερράρι και δημοσιεύτηκε στην ιταλική εφημερίδα La Nazione στις 9 Ιουνίου του ίδιου έτους, ενώ το τρίτο κείμενο δημοσιεύτηκε στην ιταλική εφημερίδα Il Corriere Apuano στις 17 Μαρτίου 2018, χωρίς υπογραφή. Το σύνολο των κειμένων αποτελείται από 2.651 λέξεις. Ο σκοπός της μετάφρασης των κειμένων αυτών είναι η δημοσίευσή της στην εφημερίδα Καθημερινή, στην στήλη του Γαστρονόμου. Παράλληλα, κατά τον σχολιασμό της μετάφρασης, θα αναλυθούν διάφορα επίπεδα του λόγου, όπως η σύνταξη, το ύφος (εάν είναι επίσημο ή ανεπίσημο, εάν χρειάστηκε να διατηρηθεί ως έχει ή όχι) και οι ειδικοί όροι (το πώς μεταφέρθηκαν στη γλώσσα στόχο). Επίσης, θα γίνει ανάλυση και τεκμηρίωση των μεταφραστικών επιλογών, όπου αυτό κριθεί απαραίτητο
description: This paper is an annotated translation of three Italian journalistic texts about Lunigiana and two cultural elements of local gastronomy, the testaroli, which is a type of pasta, and the region's wines. The first two texts to be translated are controversial, and the third is evaluative. More specifically, the first text ("ED ECCO LE BRUTTE MANIERE DA CONSERVARE") was written by Giorgio Boca, and published in the Italian magazine Espresso on June 8, 1980. The second text (“Giudizi gastronomici di Giorgio Bocca, I «testaroli» per le occasioni”) was written by Mario Ferrari and was published in the Italian newspaper La Nazione on June 9 of the same year, while the third text was published in the Italian newspaper Il Corriere Apuano on March 17, 2018, without signature. The three texts consist of 2,651 words. The purpose of translating these texts is to publish them in the newspaper Kathimerini, in the column of Gastronomos. At the same time, when commenting on the translation, different levels of speech will be analyzed, such as the syntax, the style (whether it is formal or informal, whether it had to be changed or not) and the specific terms (how they were translated into the target language). Also, the translation choices will be analyzed and documented, where this is deemed necessary

description: This paper explores, conceptually and empirically, the question of how much food is produced by women. Data for labour inputs and agricultural output are used to assess women's contribution to food and agricultural production. The study also assesses gender differences in productivity. The paper finds that a precise measure of women's contribution to food production is impossible to establish. In general women do not produce food separately from men and it is impossible to disaggregate men and women's contributions either in terms of labor supplied or in terms of output produced. Ultimately the precise contribution women make to food production is irrelevant. It is enough to recognize that women are important to agriculture and agriculture is important to women. There is evidence that shows that women farm as productively as men do, when they have access to the same resources. But they often do not have access to the improved technologies, credit, land and other resources. Additional data is needed to understand better women's roles and constraints in agriculture so as to appropriately design interventions that target women.

Improving Policies via Search in Cooperative Partially Observable Games

description: Recent superhuman results in games have largely been achieved in a variety of zero-sum settings, such as Go and Poker, in which agents need to compete against others. However, just like humans, real-world AI systems have to coordinate and communicate with other agents in cooperative partially observable environments as well. These settings commonly require participants to both interpret the actions of others and to act in a way that is informative when being interpreted. Those abilities are typically summarized as theory f mind and are seen as crucial for social interactions. In this paper we propose two different search techniques that can be applied to improve an arbitrary agreed-upon policy in a cooperative partially observable game. The first one, single-agent search, effectively converts the problem into a single agent setting by making all but one of the agents play according to the agreed-upon policy. In contrast, in multi-agent search all agents carry out the same common-knowledge search procedure whenever doing so is computationally feasible, and fall back to playing according to the agreed-upon policy otherwise. We prove that these search procedures are theoretically guaranteed to at least maintain the original performance of the agreed-upon policy (up to a bounded approximation error). In the benchmark challenge problem of Hanabi, our search technique greatly improves the performance of every agent we tested and when applied to a policy trained using RL achieves a new state-of-the-art score of 24.61 / 25 in the game, compared to a previous-best of 24.08 / 25.
1/R Curvature Corrections as the Source of the Cosmological Acceleration

description: Corrections to Einstein's equations that become important at small curvatures are considered. The field equations are derived using a Palatini variation in which the connection and metric are varied independently. In contrast to the Einstein-Hilbert variation, which yields fourth order equations, the Palatini approach produces second order equations in the metric. The Lagrangian $L(R)=R-α^2/R$ is examined and it is shown that it leads to equations whose solutions approach a de Sitter universe at late times. Thus, the inclusion of 1/R curvature terms in the gravitational action offers an alternative explanation for the cosmological acceleration.

description: Agriculture can be an important engine of growth and poverty reduction. But the sector is underperforming in many countries in part because women, who are often a crucial resource in agriculture and the rural economy, face constraints that reduce their productivity. In this paper we draw on the available empirical evidence to study in which areas and to what degree women participate in agriculture. Aggregate data shows that women comprise about 43 percent of the agricultural labour force globally and in developing countries. But this figure masks considerable variation across regions and within countries according to age and social class. Time use surveys, which are more comprehensive but typically not nationally representative, add further insight into the substantial heterogeneity among countries and within countries in women's contribution to agriculture. They show that female time-use in agriculture varies also by crop, production cycle, age and ethnic group. A few time-use surveys have data by activity and these show that in general weeding and harvesting were predominantly female activities. Overall the labour burden of rural women exceeds that of men, and includes a higher proportion of unpaid household responsibilities related to preparing food and collecting fuel and water. The contribution of women to agricultural and food production is significant but it is impossible to verify empirically the share produced by women. Women's participation in rural labour markets varies considerably across regions, but invariably women are over represented in unpaid, seasonal and part-time work, and the available evidence suggests that women are often paid less than men, for the same work. Available data on rural and agricultural feminization shows that this is not a general trend but mainly a sub-Saharan Africa phenomena, as well as observed in some sectors such as unskilled labour in the fruit, vegetable and cut-flower export sector. This paper re-affirms that women make essential contributions to agriculture and rural enterprises across the developing world. But there is much diversity in women's roles and over-generalization undermines policy relevance and planning. The context is important and policies must be based on sound data and gender analysis.

description: This paper explores a 15-country household data base to evaluate the impact of three key assets (land, education and infrastructure) on rural poverty. Using both a descriptive analysis and a quadratic probit model, with the probability of being poor as a function of these three assets, the paper concludes that household access to education and infrastructure are positively associated with higher incomes, while the impact of land holdings varies across countries. Also, this paper shows the importance of the complementarities among assets in their poverty alleviating potential. The key policy implications revolve around long-term public investments in education and rural infrastructure, and asset-bundling, i.e. investing in assets simultaneously

description: We report the bivariate HI- and H$_2$-stellar mass distributions of local galaxies in addition of an inventory of galaxy mass functions, MFs, for HI, H$_2$, cold gas, and baryonic mass, separately into early- and late-type galaxies. The MFs are determined using the HI and H$_2$ conditional distributions and the galaxy stellar mass function, GSMF. For the conditional distributions we use the compilation presented in Calette et al. 2018. For determining the GSMF from $M_{\ast}\sim3\times10^{7}$ to $3\times10^{12}$ $M_{\odot}$, we combine two spectroscopic samples from the SDSS at the redshift range $0.0033
