Grover Energy Transfer at Relativistic Speeds
Creators: name: Chamorro-Posada, Juan Carlos Garcia-Escartin Pedro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Grover's algorithm for quantum search can also be applied to classical energy transfer. The procedure takes a system in which the total energy is equally distributed among $N$ subsystems and transfers most of the it to one marked subsystem. We show that in a relativistic setting the efficiency of this procedure can be improved. We will consider the transfer of relativistic kinetic energy in a series of elastic collisions. In this case, the number of steps of the energy transfer procedure approaches 1 as the initial velocities of the objects become closer to the speed of light. This is a consequence of introducing non-linearities in the procedure. However, the maximum attainable transfer will depend on the particular combination of speed and number of objects. In the procedure, we will use $N$ elements, like in the classical case, instead of the $log_2(N)$ states of the quantum algorithm.
Un "dj set" d'autore. Pratiche compilative nel cinema di Paolo Sorrentino
Creators: name: Valentini, Paola
Publisher: name: Schermi. Storie e culture del cinema e dei media in Italia
Year: 2020

description: This essay analyses Paolo Sorrentino’s production from the perspective of the compilation soundtracks he assembles for his films. While “La grande bellezza” appears to synthesize many of the aspects of a patchwork of different songs, the overall compilation resulting from Sorrentino’s entire filmography is singularly interesting (from the song “I migliori anni della nostra vita” in “Il divo” and “Che domenica bestiale” in “Loro 1” through to “Senza un perché” in “The Young Pope”, to name but a few). This composition strategy – a playlist, in a sense – reveals a clear authorial stamp, a signature,displaying clear elements of continuity with a form of American cinema (from Quentin Tarantino to Paul Thomas Anderson), and, at the same time, a systematic approach that differs from the majority of Italian cinema (first and foremost the work of Nanni Moretti and Paolo Virzì), which requires more prudent scholarly attention.

Canzoni d'attore. Musica, performance e (nuovi) media nel film "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot" (2015)
Creators: name: Cecchi, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Schermi. Storie e culture del cinema e dei media in Italia
Year: 2020

description: The article addresses the role of music and media in Gabriele Mainetti’s film “Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot” (“They Call Me Jeeg”, 2015). In so doing it relies on an interdisciplinary framework combining musicology, performance studies and media studies. I start by considering the production, circulation and reception of pre-existing music used in the film, then I shift to the dramaturgy of the film in relation to both its original music and compiled soundtrack. While the latter, including Italian songs from the period 1978-1982, is referred to the character of Fabio Cannizzaro aka “lo Zingaro” (Luca Marinelli), the former unwinds alongside the evolving psychology of the protagonist Enzo Ceccotti (Claudio Santamaria). The use of songs in the film incorporates and expresses multiple dimensions of performance: the actor’s performance, the villain’s criminal and musical persona, and the performativity of the media, which the film explicitly problematizes. This allows to frame the film and its compilation soundtrack in a wider perspective, reflecting upon the Italian media system of the 1980s and its relation with the present pervasiveness of new digital media.

Chromospheric Variability in Early F-type Stars

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using precise measurements of the helium D3 line, we have searched for statistically significant variations in the strength of chromospheric activity in 13 early F-type stars and two late F-type stars. In two early F-type stars, we find short-term (hours to days) variability based on ~25 observations over the course of a week. In an additional two cases we find significant differences between observations taken years apart, but we can most likely explain this apparent long-term variation as an artifact of probable short-term variations. The evidence suggests that pure rotational modulation of discrete active regions is not responsible for the short-term variations in the early F-type stars and that either a more global process is at work, or we are seeing large number of small active regions spread across the star. In contrast, the two late F-type stars in the sample show strength and/or wavelength variations that are consistent with "solar-type" activity typified by the rotational modulation of active regions. Our results suggest that variability does not cause the wide range in activity levels observed within the early F-type stars.

Overtaking ‘Virtuous’ Masculinities:

Year: 2020

description: This article focuses on the construction of opposed masculinities and queer desire through the interaction between period pop songs and other composed cues in “Il sorpasso”, considering how period pop songs place protagonists Bruno (Vittorio Gassman) and Roberto (Jean-Louis Trintignant) in Italy’s popular culture landscape and the score articulates a queer attraction that most accounts of this film do not address. This analysis of the interaction between different approaches to film scoring also adds a syntactical dimension to the application of assimilating and affiliating identifications proposed by Kassabian to understand the role of composed and compiled scores in the reproduction of dominant ideology.

description: The paper investigates the “90s cult movies” compilation soundtracks of Enza Negroni’s “Jack Frusciante è uscito dal gruppo” (1996) and Davide Ferrario’s “Tutti giù per terra” (1997), both produced by Consorzio Produttori Indipendenti. It explores the relation between Generation X and 90s Italian films – a type of cinema that Vito Zagarrio defines «in transition» (2000), «with ambiguous forms and surfaces» (2002: 34) – through songs in the films as “Nuotando nell’aria” (Marlene Kuntz, 1994) and “A tratti” (C.S.I., 1994), which constitute the generational key and reestablish a three-dimensional realm, going beyond the image and “embodying” the characters’ “coming-of-age”.

description: The origin of complex structures, randomness, and irreversibility are analyzed in the scale free SL(2,R) analysis, which is an extension of the ordinary analysis based on the recently uncovered scale free $C^{2^n-1}$ solutions to linear ordinary differential equations. The role of an intelligent decision making is discussed. We offer an explanation of the recently observed universal renormalization group dynamics at the edge of chaos in logistic maps. The present formalism is also applied to give a first principle explanation of 1/$f$ noise in electrical circuits and solid state devices. Its relevance to heavy tailed (hyperbolic) distributions is pointed out.

description: In this study, we evaluated and screened the effects of the molecular weight (MW) and molar ratio of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (PEtOz-CHMC) on the pH sensitivity, stability, and antitumor efficacy of liposomes. The pH sensitivity of PEtOz-CHMC with different MWs and molar ratios was screened by drug release and cytotoxicity experiments at different pH levels. Results indicated that the liposomes coated with PEtOz1k-CHMC (7% molar ratio) and PEtOz2k-CHMC (5% molar ratio) exhibited the desirable pH responsiveness. When the MW of PEtOz was relatively low, 7% of the modified ratio obtained the strongest stability, but the turbidity of the liposomes did not obviously change when the molar ratio of PEtOz-CHMC was further increased. A375 cells were used as models to investigate the cellular uptake and intracellular localization of coumarin-6-loaded liposomes (C6-L), PEGylated liposomes (PEG-C6-L), and PEtOzylated liposomes. PEtOz1k-C6-L and PEtOz2k-C6-L presented remarkably stronger fluorescence intensity at low pH than at pH 7.4, whereas C6-L and PEG-C6-L did not achieve any obvious diversity at different pH conditions. Compared with C6-L and PEG-C6-L, PEtOz-C6-L showed efficient intracellular trafficking, including endosomal/lysosomal escape and cytoplasmic release. Pharmacokinetic experiments demonstrated that half-lives of PEG2k-C6-L, PEtOz2k-C6-L, and PEtOz1k-C6-L were 11.89-, 7.00-, and 5.29-fold times higher than those of C6-L, respectively. Among the liposomes, the DOX·HCl-loaded liposomes coated with PEtOz2k-CHMC demonstrated the strongest antitumor efficacy against B16 tumor xenograft models in vivo. These findings provide the feasibility of using PEtOz-CHMC with optimal pH sensitivity and long circulation to extend the application of liposomes to efficient anticancer drug delivery.
A New Sample of Buried Active Galactic Nuclei Selected from the Second XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue

description: We present the results of X-ray spectral analysis of 22 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with a small scattering fraction selected from the Second XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue using hardness ratios. They are candidates of buried AGNs, since a scattering fraction, which is a fraction of scattered emission by the circumnuclear photoionized gas with respect to direct emission, can be used to estimate the size of the opening part of an obscuring torus. Their X-ray spectra are modeled by a combination of a power law with a photon index of 1.5-2 absorbed by a column density of 10^23-24 cm^-2, an unabsorbed power law, narrow Gaussian lines, and some additional soft components. We find that scattering fractions of 20 among 22 objects are less than a typical value (3%) for Seyfert2s observed so far. In particular, those of eight objects are smaller than 0.5%, which are in the range for buried AGNs found in recent hard X-ray surveys. Moreover, [O III] lambda5007 luminosities at given X-ray luminosities for some objects are smaller than those for Seyfert2s previously known. This fact could be interpreted as a smaller size of optical narrow emission line regions produced in the opening direction of the obscuring torus. These results indicate that they are strong candidates for the AGN buried in a very geometrically thick torus.

description: Spiral galaxies dominate the local galaxy population. Disks are known to be fragile with respect to collisions. Thus it is worthwhile to probe under which conditions a disk can possibly survive such interactions. We present a detailed morpho-kinematics study of a massive galaxy with two nuclei, J033210.76--274234.6, at z=0.4. The morphological analysis reveals that the object consists of two bulges and a massive disk, as well as a faint blue ring. Combining the kinematics with morphology we propose a near-center collision model to interpret the object. We find that the massive disk is likely to have survived the collision of galaxies with an initial mass ratio of ~4:1. The N-body/SPH simulations show that the collision possibly is a single-shot polar collision with a very small pericentric distance of ~1 kpc and that the remnant of the main galaxy will be dominated by a disk. The results support the disk survival hypothesis. The survival of the disk is related to the polar collision with an extremely small pericentric distance. With the help of N-body/SPH simulations we find the probability of disk survival is quite large regardless whether the two galaxies merge or not.

description: The so-called “cinepanettone” has been one of the most typical genres of Italian popular cinema since 1983. Compiled soundtracks made up of the latest pop hits and commercial house music are unquestionably among the most prominent conventions defining such movies. The goal of the article is to examine how such music became typically associated with the “cinepanettone”, in relation with the wider context of popular music and media in 1980s and 1990s Italy; and (following O’Leary’s suggestions) to discuss the “phenomenology” of such repertoire, in order to criticize the notion of “cinepanettoni” music as the quintessential “bad music”.

description: We demonstrate a striking effect of non-commutative (NC) geometry on topological properties of gauge theory by Monte Carlo simulations. We study 2d U(1) NC gauge theory for various boundary conditions using a new finite-matrix formulation proposed recently. We find that a single topological sector dictated by the boundary condition dominates in the continuum limit. This is in sharp contrast to the results in commutative space-time based on lattice gauge theory, where all topological sectors appear with certain weights in the continuum limit. We discuss possible implications of this effect in the context of string theory compactifications and in field theory contexts.

Conjugation of benzoic acid in marsupials
Creators: name: Awaluddin, Almah binti
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The fate of benzoic acid was studied in 7 species of marsupials and the echidna. Radiolabelled [7-14C]-benzoic acid was administered to 3-7 animals of each marsupial species (brown bandicoot, barred bandicoot, Tasmanian devil, potoroo, pademelon, brush-tailed possum and sugar glider) and urine was collected over ice for 24 hours. Metabolites were extracted from acidified urine with ethyl acetate and separated on fluorescent silica gel TLC plates. Bands were visualised under UV, and eluted with methanol. After methylation with diazomethane, benzoic acid, hippuric acid and ˜í‚â§-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid were identified by GC/MS. The methylated benzoyl glucuronide required trimethylsilylation before GC/MS. Quantification was by liquid scintillation spectrometry. It was found that all species excreted most of the dose in 24 hr. As with eutherians, the major metabolite was hippuric acid, with smaller amounts of benzoic acid and ˜í‚â§-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid. Benzoyl glucuronide excretion varied greatly, from 2% of the dose in the pademelon to 32% in sugar gliders. Similar variability has also been reported in eutherians.

description: In this paper we analyze four examples of birational transformations between local Calabi-Yau 3-folds: two crepant resolutions, a crepant partial resolution, and a flop. We study the effect of these transformations on genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants, proving the Coates-Corti-Iritani-Tseng/Ruan form of the Crepant Resolution Conjecture in each case. Our results suggest that this form of the Crepant Resolution Conjecture may also hold for more general crepant birational transformations. They also suggest that Ruan's original Crepant Resolution Conjecture should be modified, by including appropriate "quantum corrections", and that there is no straightforward generalization of either Ruan's original Conjecture or the Cohomological Crepant Resolution Conjecture to the case of crepant partial resolutions. Our methods are based on mirror symmetry for toric orbifolds.

Arrest als Strafe? Zur Bedeutung und Legitimation einer freiheitsbeschränkendenDisziplinarmassnahme in der stationären Heimerziehung: EineFallanalyse
Creators: name: Seibold, Priska
Publisher: name: Hochschule Luzern – Soziale Arbeit
Year: 2024

description: Die Begriffe Disziplin, Strafe, Zwang und Geschlossenheit werden im (sozial-)pädagogischen Diskurs kontrovers diskutiert. Ihre Praxis in der (Heim-)Erziehung ist hingegen kaum erforscht. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der Auseinandersetzung mit dem strengen Arrest, welcher den disziplinarischen Einschluss von Jugendlichen in der stationären Jugendhilfe umfasst.

Im Fokus des Interesses steht die Frage, welche Bedeutung dem strengen Arrest in der Praxis zukommt und wie er sich aus sozialpädagogischer Sicht legitimieren lässt. Die empirische Untersuchung basiert auf einer qualitativen Fallstudie, die sich auf ein kantonales Jugendheim in der Schweiz bezieht. Anhand einer Dokumentenanalyse und fünf problemzentrierten Interviews mit sozialpädagogischen Fachkräften wurden fachliche Einschätzungen und institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen im Zusammenhang mit dem strengen Arrest analysiert.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der strenge Arrest von den Fachkräften unterschiedlich wahrgenommen und begründet wird. Damit einhergehende Intentionen vermischen sich häufig und stehen sich teilweise konträr entgegen. Es scheint die Gefahr gegeben, dass der strenge Arrest in seinen vielfältigen Anwendungszwecken und potenzielle Nebenwirkungen unreflektiert bleibt. Der Bedarf eines breit angelegten Fachdiskurses und die Notwendigkeit von Klärungsprozessen in Bezug auf die Anwendung des strengen Arrests, scheinen dadurch klar indiziert.

Local government support of the performing arts : a planning viewpoint
Creators: name: Bladen, Katharine M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The combination of two trends in modern Canadian society, the trend to increasingly rapid urbanization and the trend to increasing leisure, points to a pressing problem for the future in our cities: the provision of the amenities of urban life which will be needed for leisure use. The general planning concern in this study is thus the provision of community services and resources for leisure. The performing arts are taken to be one facet of the cultural opportunities which should be included in planning for leisure. Although the performing arts have traditionally been linked to urban, centres, the present situation in Canada seems to indicate that the cities have not acknowledged their full responsibility in supporting cultural activities. The need for increased local government support of the major performing arts organizations to ensure their continued existence is examined. The technological and economic problems inherent in the nature of performance make it impossible for productivity to keep pace with costs so that the gap between box office revenue and expenditure is inevitable. In addition, the performing arts may be considered as a public good, for which there are collective benefits. The gains to the urban community indicate that increased local government support of the performing arts should be expected. This study includes a comparison of the financial situation for the major theatre and symphonic organizations in five Canadian cities and a projection to 1975 of the minimum local government support that should be provided to ensure the maintenance of the major performing arts organizations in Vancouver. Local government officials show a great reluctance to provide financial support for cultural activities. The suggestion that this situation stems from a lack of knowledge of the gains associated with their presence lead to the development of a framework to display the returns to the urban community as a means of providing a more informed basis for local government support of cultural activities. To develop such a framework, several concepts associated with the PPB systems approach, and its underlying analysis, have been used in approaching the problem of providing information to the decisionmaker. A framework called the "matrix of returns" is proposed. The application of this framework to the Vancouver situation suggests that its success cannot yet be judged. There is a lack of information about the urban community that would be necessary to complete the measurement of returns. The collection of such information was considered beyond the scope of this study. The preliminary matrix of returns does suggest, however, that while the gains are enjoyed by all the urban communities in the metropolitan region of Vancouver, these communities have not been providing a reasonable share of the necessary support. A metropolitan basis for support of cultural activities seems to be needed.

In my contribution, I consider the case study of “Yuppi Du”, a rock opera authored by singer Adriano Celentano in 1975, one of the most conscious attempts in Italy to follow the new trends in musical film. On the basis of recent researches in the psychology of rhythm and musical timing, I delve into the emotional qualities of a narrative and stylistic formula which is structured not by the plot, but by a succession of songs comparable with a concept album, or a pop catalogue.

The effect of temperature and water activity on microbial growth rate and food spoilage
Creators: name: Chandler, Robert Edward
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Square Root Model [‚Äöv¿v¨r = b(T - T o )] was used to describe the temperature dependence of bacterial growth rate under conditions where temperature was the only limiting factor. It was validated for predicting the growth of the bacteria responsible for the spoilage of pasteurised, homogenised milk and for the in situ spoilage of the milk, over the storage range 0 to I5 ¬¨‚àû C. A temperature function integrator, incorporating the Square Root Model and a To value of 263K was successfully used to monitor the temperature history of pasteurised, homogenised milk over a range of storage temperatures and to display the cumulated storage history at an arbitrary reference temperature (4 ¬¨‚àû C). The spoilage rate of pasteurised homogenised milk, with respect to temperature, was described accurately by a Square Root Equation, possessing a To value similar to that of the psychrotrophic pseudomonads responsible for the spoilage of the milk. The Square Root Model described the temperature dependent variation in an induced bacterial lag phase, with the parameter, To being similar to that of the exponentially growing cell. The Square Root Model was shown to accurately predict bacterial growth under conditions where both temperature and water activity were limiting. Growth of the moderate halophile, Staphylococcus xylosus strain CM21/3, in media of different water activities, continued to be described by the Square Root Model, when either sodium chloride or glycerol was used as the humectant. The parameter To was constant, irrespective of water activity or the type of humectant used. A decreasing linear relationship was demonstrated between growth rate and decreasing water activity, with the minimum water activity for growth being dependant upon humectant used. This enabled the derivation of a modified Square Root Model, which was capable of describing the effect of both temperature and water activity on bacterial growth rate. The Square Root Model was validated for predicting the growth of the extreme halophiles, Halobacterium sp. strain HB9 and Halobacterium salinarium strain CM42/12, under conditions of varying water activity/salt concentration and temperature. The parameter To was constant irrespective of water activity. In addition, little change in growth rate, with change in water activity was noted.

description: In little higgs models a collective symmetry prevents the higgs from acquiring a quadratically divergent mass at one loop. By considering first the littlest higgs model we show that this requires a fine tuning: the couplings in the model introduced to give the top quark a mass do not naturally respect the collective symmetry. We show the problem is generic: it arises from the fact that the would be collective symmetry of any one top quark mass term is broken by gauge interactions.

The procedure is carried out in detail for double sine-Gordon theory, where the vacuum energy density and breather mass correction is evaluated at second order. The results agree with those obtained from the truncated conformal space approach. The regularization procedure can also be used to compute other spectral sums involving disconnected pieces of form factors such as those that occur e.g. in finite temperature correlators.

description: This essay focuses on the first convergence between Italian rap and cinema that took place between the late 1990s and the first years of the 21st century. The soundtrack of three films that bear witness of such a process, “Torino Boys” (1997, by Antonio and Marco Manetti), “Semiautomatico” (1999, by AJ Sikabonyi), and “Zora la vampira” (2000, by Antonio and Marco Manetti), will be scrutinized in details. The scope of the analysis is to offer a reading of these films on the background of the specific creative practices of hip hop culture.

description: Hintergrund: Das Syndrom einer leichten Verhaltensbeeinträchtigung („mild
behavioral impairment syndrome“, MBI) ist definiert durch das Auftreten anhaltender
neuropsychiatrischer Symptome im Alter. Die Mild-behavioral-impairment-Checkliste
(MBI-C) dient der Erfassung von persistierenden neuropsychiatrischen Symptomen,
welche die Präsenz des MBI definieren.
Ziel: Erarbeitung einer deutschsprachigen Version der MBI-C und Beurteilung der
klinischen Anwendbarkeit.
Material undMethoden: ImAustausch mit dem federführenden Autor der englischen
Originalversionwurde eine deutsche Version erstellt. Die Praktikabilität der Anwendung
wurde im Rahmen einer Anwendbarkeitsstudie an einer Kohorte von 21 stationären
alterspsychiatrischen Patienten überprüft. Dabei wurden die Compliance der Patienten,
die Verständlichkeit, der Zeitaufwand, das Vorgehen bei der Auswertung und die
Unterschiede zwischen den Angaben der Patienten und der Angehörigen beurteilt.
Ergebnisse: Die erstellte Übersetzung der MBI-C gilt als offizielle deutsche
Version und kann auf https://mbitest.org heruntergeladen werden. Alle Patienten
beantworteten alle 34 Fragen vollständig, die Verständlichkeit zeigte sich als sehr gut,
der durchschnittliche Zeitaufwand lag bei 16min. Es zeigten sich z. T. bedeutsame
Unterschiede zwischen den Angaben der Patienten und der Angehörigen.
Diskussion: Das MBI kann bei einem Teil der Personen mit neurodegenerativer
demenzieller Erkrankung das ansonsten präsymptomatische Stadium markieren.
Die MBI-C könnte somit bei der Früherkennung von neurodegenerativen Demenzen
helfen. Diese Hypothese kann mithilfe der hier präsentierten sprachlich lokalisierten
Version der MBI-C auch im deutschsprachigen Raumzukünftig überprüft werden.
Perturbative renormalization of GPDs to O(a^2), for various fermion/gluon actions

description: We present a 1-loop perturbative calculation of the fermion propagator, up to O(a^2) (a: lattice spacing). The fermions are described by Wilson, clover and twisted-mass actions; for gluons we use Symanzik improved actions (Plaquette, Tree-level Symanzik, Iwasaki, TILW, DBW2). Our results are given in a general covariant gauge, and their dependence on the coupling constant, the external momentum, the masses and the clover parameter is shown explicitly. We also study the O(a^2) corrections to matrix elements of unpolarized/polarized fermion bilinear operators, which include up to one derivative. These corrections are essential ingredients for improving, to O(a^2), the renormalization constants of the operators under study. In addition, they can be used to minimize lattice artifacts in non-perturbative studies.

description: The optical trapping of polymeric nanofibers and the characterization of the rotational dynamics are reported. A strategy to apply a torque to a polymer nanofiber, by tilting the trapped fibers using a symmetrical linear polarized Gaussian beam is demonstrated. Rotation frequencies up to 10 Hz are measured, depending on the trapping power, the fiber length and the tilt angle. A comparison of the experimental rotation frequencies in the different trapping configurations with calculations based on optical trapping and rotation of linear nanostructures through a T-Matrix formalism, accurately reproduce the measured data, providing a comprehensive description of the trapping and rotation dynamics.

description: Exposomics aims to provide a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the environmental drivers of disease in a manner comparable to genomics. The increased interest in the exposome and exposomics has created a need for educational offerings in the field. In 2017, Columbia University launched the Skills for Health and Research Professionals (SHARP) program to provide intensive workshops or bootcamps on topics relevant to environmental health. In 2019, the first Exposome Bootcamp was created under the SHARP model and has been held for six consecutive years. Participants and instructors have come from over 100 institutions, 30 states in the U.S., and 16 countries worldwide, demonstrating the widespread interest in the field. This paper provides an overview of the planning and design efforts that went into creating and sustaining the Exposome Bootcamp. It also delves into how the training program has evolved over the course of these six years, adapting to the changing landscape of exposomics and responding to the needs and feedback of participants. The continuous growth and development of the Exposome Bootcamp is a testament to the dynamic nature of exposomics and the commitment to providing high-quality education and training in this emerging field.

description: The high-statistics Belle data on the γγ\toπ^+π^- and γγ\toπ^0π^0 reactions have been jointly analyzed. The main dynamical mechanisms of these reactions for energies below 1.5 GeV have been revealed. It has been shown that the direct coupling constants of the σ(600) and f_0(980) resonances with a γγpair are small and that the σ(600)\toγγand f_0(980)\toγγdecays are four-quark transitions due primarily to π^+π^- and K^+K^- loop mechanisms, respectively. The role of the chiral shielding of the σ(600) resonance is emphasized. The widths of the f_0(980)\toγγand σ(600)\toγγdecays averaged over the resonance mass distributions, as well as the width of the f_2(1270)\toγγdecay, are estimated as (Γ_{f_0\toγγ})_{ππ}\approx 0.19 keV, (Γ_{σ\toγγ})_{ππ}\approx 0.45 keV, and Γ_{f_2\toγγ}(m^2_{f_2})\approx 3.8$ keV.

description: The article wishes to contribute to the broader debate on sustainability agreements in European competition law, specifically focusing on the role of national competition authorities (NCAs) in evaluating these agreements under Article 101(3) TFEU. After exploring the potential inclusion of wider policy considerations in the parameters to exempt anti-competitive agreements under Article 101(3) TFEU, the article delves into the risks commonly associated with allowing NCAs to incorporate these into their assessments. Concrete examples illustrate the Commission’s narrow approach and the Dutch NCA’s initially broader perspective. The article argues that perceived risks can be mitigated through the harmonizing role of the European Competition Network. In essence, it advocates for a nuanced approach that respects democratic objectives while upholding legal coherence in Union’s competition law

description: Genus Sphecodopsis Bischoff, 1923
Species groups
The nomenclatural history and the subgeneric concept of Sphecodopsis has been discussed in detail by Eardley & Brothers (1997) and is briefly summarized here. The species currently grouped together as Sphecodopsis were originally described by Bischoff (1923) in two different genera, namely Pseudodichroa Bischoff, 1923 and Sphecodopsis, with the latter divided into two subgenera: Pseudopasites Bischoff, 1923 and Sphecodopsis s. str. Instead, Cockerell (1933a) treated Sphecodopsis and Pseudopasites as subgenera of Morgania Smith, 1854 and consistently placed all species now belonging to Sphecodopsis in that genus (Eardley & Brothers 1997). The species described as Pseudodichroa correspond to today’s S. capensis group, while the species from the other (sub)genera represent a mix of different species groups.
Based on a phylogenetic analysis, Eardley & Brothers (1997) synonymised Bischoff´s (1923) genera and subgenera and introduced five species groups instead, three of them monotypic. We basically follow this concept and use seven morphologically characterised species groups. Nine species do not fit in any of them and might represent monotypic species groups. They are summarised as ‘isolated species’ at the end.
The group affiliation of the Sphecodopsis species known to Eardley & Brothers (1997) essentially corresponds to our classification. The exception is the S. capicola group, of which only two (S. capicola Strand, 1911, S. vespericena Eardley, 1997) of the original seven species remain. The other five are distributed among three other species groups and two are monotypic.
Species groups are first defined and then the species belonging to them are listed. The S. capensis species group is listed first because it can be easily separated from the others, based on the unique apically undivided female S6. The other species groups and all species within the groups are arranged in alphabetical order.
