description: In this paper we review the recent advances on explosive percolation, a very sharp phase transition first observed by Achlioptas et al. (Science, 2009). There a simple model was proposed, which changed slightly the classical percolation process so that the emergence of the spanning cluster is delayed. This slight modification turns out to have a great impact on the percolation phase transition. The resulting transition is so sharp that it was termed explosive, and it was at first considered to be discontinuous. This surprising fact stimulated considerable interest in "Achlioptas processes". Later work, however, showed that the transition is continuous (at least for Achlioptas processes on Erdos networks), but with very unusual finite size scaling. We present a review of the field, indicate open "problems" and propose directions for future research.

description: Planktonic foraminifera were studied in the upper Albian to Cenomanian sedimentary sequence of the Monte Petrano and Le Brecce stratigraphic sections located in the Umbria-Marche Basin (central Italy), and of Hole 547A and Site 545 drilled by the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) on the Mazagan Plateau (offshore Morocco, northeast Atlantic Ocean). Biostratigraphic results allow the identification of a stratigraphically ordered sequence of bioevents that have proved to be reliable for regional and interregional correlations, from older to younger: the lowest occurrences (LOs) of Th. appenninica, Pl. buxtorfi, Pa. libyca, Th. brotzeni in the Albian, and the LOs of Th. globotruncanoides, Th. greenhornensis and Rt. cushmani in the Cenomanian sediments. We remark the difficulty in the identification of the Th. reicheli Zone used in the Tethyan biozonation because of the rarity and absence of the species in many low to mid- latitude pelagic sequences. To overcome the problem, we use the Th. greenhornensis Zone defined as the stratigraphic interval between the lowest occurrence (LO) of Th. greenhornensis and the LO of Rt. cushmani. The LO of Th. greenhornensis is a solid bioevent with the nominal species characterized by a wide geographic distribution and occurring close to the LO of Th. reicheli where the latter species is present. The studied stratigraphic sections are compared with the coeval Mont Risou section in the Vocontian Basin and the record from Blake Nose in the western North Atlantic to verify the correlation and synchronicity of biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic events including the Oceanic Anoxic Events 1d (OAE1d) and the Mid Cenomanian Event (MCE).

description: We investigate occupation time statistics for random walks on a comb with ramified teeth. This is achieved through the relation between the occupation time and the first passage times. Statistics of occupation times in half space follows Lamperti's distribution, i.e. the generalized arcsine law holds. Transitions between different behaviors are observed, which are controlled by the size of the backbone and teeth of the comb, as well as bias. Occupation time on a non-simply connected domain is analyzed with a mean-field theory and numerical simulations. In that case, the generalized arcsine law isn't valid.

description: Characterisation of atmospheric optical turbulence is crucial for the design and operation of modern ground-based optical telescopes. In particular, the effective application of adaptive optics correction on large and extremely large telescopes relies on a detailed knowledge of the prevailing atmospheric conditions, including the vertical profile of the optical turbulence strength and the atmospheric coherence timescale. The Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) has been employed as a facility seeing monitor at many astronomical observing sites across the world for several decades, providing a reliable estimate of the seeing angle. Here we present the Shack-Hartmann Image Motion Monitor (SHIMM), which is a development of the DIMM instrument, in that it exploits differential image motion measurements of bright target stars. However, the SHIMM employs a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor in place of the two-hole aperture mask utilised by the DIMM. This allows the SHIMM to provide an estimate of the seeing, unbiased by shot noise or scintillation effects. The SHIMM also produces a low-resolution (three-layer) measure of the vertical turbulence profile, as well as an estimate of the coherence timescale. The SHIMM is designed as a low-cost, portable, instrument. It is comprised of off-the-shelf components so that it is easy to duplicate and well-suited for comparisons of atmospheric conditions within and between different observing sites. Here, the SHIMM design and methodology for estimating key atmospheric parameters will be presented, as well as initial field test results with comparisons to the Stereo-SCIDAR instrument.

title: La Krisis della psichiatria e la sua riedificazione come scienza dell’uomo: la Daseinsanalyse di Ludwig Binswanger
Creators: name: Sganga , Michela
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2020

description: Il presente contributo si propone di investigare l’approccio e la genuina attitudine fenomenologica che caratterizza l’opera di Ludwig Binswanger e la sua Daseinanalyse – un metodo sul quale lo psichiatra svizzero ha lavorato durante tutta la sua vita e la sua esperienza di medico. A partire dal concetto husserliano di Krisis – o, per dirlo con le parole di Binswanger, lo spirito di separazione tipico della modernità – ciò che emerge è la necessità di modificare, ripensare e riorganizzare l’intero assetto epistemologico della psichiatria. Così facendo, il metodo binswangeriano giunge alla configurazione di una nuova idea di scienza medica, in cui tutti i diversi saperi possono essere usati non solo per identificare correttamente i sintomi, ma anche per capire perché i pazienti ne soffrano e come meglio trattarli. Infatti, il fulcro della psichiatria non può essere semplicemente la spiegazione della malattia mentale: occorre invece che essa abbracci al contempo la comprensione dell’uomo nella sua totalità. È proprio sulla base di ciò che Binswanger sottolinea la natura complessa e stratificata della psichiatria.

description: The paper suggests a left-right mirror symmetric model to account for the baryogenesis and asymmetric dark matter. The model can simultaneously accommodate the standard model, neutrino physics, matter-antimatter asymmetry and dark matter. In particular, it naturally and elegantly explains the origin of the baryon and dark matter asymmetries, and clearly gives the close interrelations of them. In addition, the model predicts a number of interesting results, e.g. the cold dark matter neutrino mass is $3.1$ times the proton mass. It is also feasible and promising to test the model in future experiments.

description: The Youth Protective Factors Study is an unprecedented multistate, multiyear examination of which risk and protective factors matter most when it comes to reoffending—particularly for more serious offenses that involve physical harm to another person (person offenses)—for youth ages 10 to 23 in the juvenile justice system. This brief is the first in a series that shares key findings to guide jurisdictions on research-based juvenile justice supervision, case planning, and service strategies to improve public safety and youth outcomes. These findings are especially pertinent during a time of rising concerns about youth crime, violence, and victimization. This brief is based on analysis of over 32,000 youth who had a new delinquency or status offense complaint over 3 years (2015–2017) in 2 states and received a risk assessment from the probation department. Most of the youth ended up on some form of supervision. Supervision could have included involvement in a diversion program, informal supervision, probation, a secure placement, or any combination of the above, and incorporates the time from their risk assessment until their case was closed (including any supervision extensions). Researchers obtained the records of all new juvenile court petitions and adult charges for these youth during supervision and for an average 2.5-year post-supervision follow-up period. The study analyzed recidivism during and after supervision, including for person offenses (offenses ranging from simple assault to robbery and homicide), and identified which risk factors were most associated with reoffending for youth overall and of different ages.

description: Robotics and artificial intelligence are two methods that are suitable for improving processes that are normally done manually. Therefore, these techniques also can be used when examining specimen-rich invertebrate samples, where traditional sorting methods are to slow and require expert knowledge. For that reason, we developed the DiversityScanner: a classification, sorting, and measurement robot for invertebrates. The 500 x 500 x 500 mm robot has three linear axes that enable a camera unit and an automated pipette to be moved over a square Petri dish, containing up to 150 specimens. After starting the DiversityScanner the image taken by an overview camera mounted directly above the Petri dish is utilized to calculate the position of the insects. Then the camera unit is moved over one specimen to capture high resolution detailed images. Convolutional neuronal networks (CNNs) are then used to classify the specimen into 14 different insect taxa (mostly families) and the specimen length and volume are estimated. In a final step, the specimen is moved into a microplate using an automated pipette. In this talk we show how the DiversityScanner uses automation and artificial intelligence to take advantage of previously nearly untapped resources in the study of specimen-rich invertebrate samples.

description: We study mathematically a method for discovering which gene is related to a cell phenotype of interest. The method is based on RNA interference -- a molecular process for gene deactivation -- and on coupling the phenotype with fluorescence in a FACS machine. A small number of candidate genes are thus isolated, and then tested individually. We model probabilistically this process, prove a limit theorem for its outcome, and derive operational guidelines for maximizing the probability of successful gene discovery.

description: Entanglement resources are key ingredients of future quantum technologies. If they could be efficiently integrated into a semiconductor platform a new generation of devices could be envisioned, whose quantum-mechanical functionalities are controlled via the mature semiconductor technology. Epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) embedded in diodes would embody such ideal quantum devices, but QD structural asymmetries lower dramatically the degree of entanglement of the sources and hamper severely their real exploitation in the foreseen applications. In this work, we overcome this hurdle using strain-tunable optoelectronic devices, where any QD can be tuned for the emission of highly polarization-entangled photons. The electrically-controlled sources violate Bell inequalities without the need of spectral or temporal filtering and they feature the highest degree of entanglement ever reported for QDs, with concurrence as high as 0.75(2). These quantum-devices are at present the most promising candidates for the direct implementation of QD-based entanglement-resources in quantum information science and technology.
title: Hannah Arendt e la determinazione dell’evento
Creators: name:  Santoro , Valentina
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2020

description: Senza formalizzare una teoria dell’evento Hannah Arendt articola le proprie riflessioni intorno a tale concetto, tanto sul piano storico quanto sul piano ontologico. Dal punto di vista ontologico, l’evento è quella discontinuità che introduce una nuova possibilità di processo e si origina nella facoltà di agire. Verranno ripercorse le implicazioni di questa concezione, riflettendo su tre determinazioni dell’evento (natalità, miracolo, fondazione) a partire dalla teoria arendtiana dell’agire. L’evento in quanto natalità permette di riabilitare pienamente la dimensione pratica dell’essere umano all’interno del discorso teoretico, ponendo l’agire a fondamento dell’esistenza. Esso manifesta l’unicità dell’essere umano ed è la condizione di possibilità della storia. L’evento ha poi la qualifica di un miracolo nel manifestare la libertà umana come assoluta spontaneità. La discussione di questo aspetto permette di analizzare la concezione arendtiana del processo (naturale e storico) e di porre le basi per comprendere la sua concezione del tempo storico come ‘costellazione di eventi’. Infine, l’evento si dà come configurazione di una novità assoluta che al tempo stesso incide profondamente sul tempo storico, manifestando se stesso nella sua capacità di durata. In quanto tale, esso diviene fondativo, inaugurando e conservando una nuova istituzione politica. Indagare la nozione di evento costituisce la premessa indispensabile per comprendere la concezione arendtiana della storia. Infatti, pensare la storia dal punto di vista dell’evento significa comprenderla a partire dalla dimensione del possibile.

description: While domestic violence (DV) is prevalent in all socioeconomic settings, identity highly impacts how one experiences and recovers from abuse. This work examines US-based Muslim women's challenges when seeking help and healing from domestic violence. Through participatory interviews with 23 participants within the DV ecosystem, we find that victim-survivors' autonomy is compromised throughout the abuse, within their immediate communities, and when involving the criminal justice system. To address such harms, we adapt a survivor-centered transformative justice (SCTJ) approach, a framework to discern individual and systemic harm, to understand how to design alongside victim-survivors, and to focus on victim-survivors' autonomy. We explain under what conditions an SCTJ approach may be productive for designers. We use insights from our interviews to highlight intervention areas for reducing harm, repairing harm, and promoting healing for victim-survivors. Lastly, we offer guidelines to design for harm reduction, accountability, and systemic change.

La malattia si rivela quindi uno dei luoghi privilegiati per la riflessione filosofica. In questa sede si proporrà una prospettiva narrativa sull’evento della malattia, mettendo in relazione l’etica e la medicina narrativa con la filosofia di Paul Ricoeur. Il concetto di identità narrativa ricoeuriano si rivelerà come discorso fondante della medicina narrativa intesa come processo olistico che ricollochi il malato e il suo contesto sociale ed emotivo al centro della relazione di cura, permettendo di individuare nuove strategie di intervento.

description: In der Schweizerischen Strafrecht können zur Sanktionierung von Verbrechen und Vergehen nebst Geld- und Freiheitsstrafen auch Massnahmen angeordnet werden. Diese zielen darauf ab, Straftäter*innen mittels gezielter Behandlung zu resozialisieren und ihnen den straffreien Widereinstieg in die Gesellschaft zu ermöglichen. Stationäre therapeutische Massnahmen nach Art. 59 StGB kommen zum Einsatz, wenn die Ausübung einer Tat mit einer psychischen Erkrankung in Verbindung steht. Insbesondere bei Personen, welche mit einer dissozialen Persönlichkeitsstörung diagnostiziert wurden, ist das Risiko, straffällig zu werden, erhöht. Die Grundsätze der Sozialen Arbeit fordern von den Sozialarbeitenden, vulnerable Personen-gruppen bei der Integration in die Gesellschaft zu unterstützen und ihre Partizipation zu fördern. Im Massnahmenvollzug übernehmen Sozialarbeiter*innen diese Aufgabe, indem sie straffällig gewordene Personen auf den Wiedereintritt in die Freiheit vorbereiten. Die Gesetzgebung, die Rahmenbedingungen der stationären Massnahmeneinrichtungen sowie die Auswirkungen der psychischen Erkrankungen der Klient*innen stellen die Sozialarbeiter*innen vor eine Vielzahl von Herausforderungen, welche im Rahmen dieser Arbeit beleuchtet werden. Mit dem Fokus auf eine straffreie Resozialisierung arbeitet die Soziale Arbeit sowohl auf der strukturellen Ebene des Massnahmenvollzugs als auch in der direkten Arbeit mit ihren Klient*innen und bezieht sich dabei auf Fach- und Methodenwissen der eigenen Profession und ihren Bezugsdisziplinen.

description: AI-based design tools are proliferating in professional software to assist engineering and industrial designers in complex manufacturing and design tasks. These tools take on more agentic roles than traditional computer-aided design tools and are often portrayed as "co-creators." Yet, working effectively with such systems requires different skills than working with complex CAD tools alone. To date, we know little about how engineering designers learn to work with AI-based design tools. In this study, we observed trained designers as they learned to work with two AI-based tools on a realistic design task. We find that designers face many challenges in learning to effectively co-create with current systems, including challenges in understanding and adjusting AI outputs and in communicating their design goals. Based on our findings, we highlight several design opportunities to better support designer-AI co-creation.

description: Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers, which associate a protein sequence with the biochemical reactions it catalyzes, are essential for the accurate understanding of enzyme functions and cellular metabolism. Many ab-initio computational approaches were proposed to predict EC numbers for given input sequences directly. However, the prediction performance (accuracy, recall, precision), usability, and efficiency of existing methods still have much room to be improved. Here, we report ECRECer, a cloud platform for accurately predicting EC numbers based on novel deep learning techniques. To build ECRECer, we evaluate different protein representation methods and adopt a protein language model for protein sequence embedding. After embedding, we propose a multi-agent hierarchy deep learning-based framework to learn the proposed tasks in a multi-task manner. Specifically, we used an extreme multi-label classifier to perform the EC prediction and employed a greedy strategy to integrate and fine-tune the final model. Comparative analyses against four representative methods demonstrate that ECRECer delivers the highest performance, which improves accuracy and F1 score by 70% and 20% over the state-of-the-the-art, respectively. With ECRECer, we can annotate numerous enzymes in the Swiss-Prot database with incomplete EC numbers to their full fourth level. Take UniPort protein "A0A0U5GJ41" as an example (1.14.-.-), ECRECer annotated it with "1.14.11.38", which supported by further protein structure analysis based on AlphaFold2. Finally, we established a webserver (https://ecrecer.biodesign.ac.cn) and provided an offline bundle to improve usability.

description: This work focuses on the study of the aqueous alteration process which acted in the main belt and produced hydrated minerals on the altered asteroids. The aqueous alteration is particularly important for unraveling the processes occurring during the earliest times of the Solar System history, as it can give information both on the asteroids thermal evolution and on the localization of water sources in the asteroid belt. We present new spectral observations in the visible region of 80 asteroids belonging to the primitive classes C, G, F, B and P. We combine the present observations with the visible spectra of asteroids available in the literature for a total of 600 primitive main belt asteroids. Our analysis shows that the aqueous alteration sequence starts from the P-type objects, practically unaltered, and increases through the F, B, C, and G asteroids. Around 50% of the observed C-type asteroids show absorption features in the vis. range due to hydrated silicates, implying that more than 70% of them will have a 3 $μ$m absorption band and thus hydrated minerals on their surfaces. The process dominates in primitive asteroids located between 2.3 and 3.1 AU, that is at smaller heliocentric distances than previously suggested. The aqueous alteration process dominates in the 50--240 km sized primitive asteroids, while it is less effective for bodies smaller than 50 km. No correlation is found between the aqueous alteration process and the asteroids albedo or orbital elements. Comparing the $\sim$ 0.7 $μ$m band parameters of hydrated silicates and CM2 carbonaceous chondrites, we see that the band center of meteorites is at longer wavelengths than that of asteroids. This difference on center positions may be attributed to different minerals abundances, and to the fact that CM2 available on Earth might not be representative of the whole aqueous altered asteroids population.

description: We consider a class of nonlocal, pure-metric modified gravity models which were developed to reproduce the Tully-Fisher relation without dark matter and without changing the amount of weak lensing predicted by general relativity. Previous work gave only the weak field limiting form of the field equations specialized to a static and spherically symmetric geometry. Here we derive the full field equations and specialize them to a homogeneous, isotropic and spatially flat geometry. We also discuss the problem of fitting the free function to reproduce the expansion history. Results are derived for models in which the MOND acceleration a_0 ~ 1.2 x 10^{-10} m/s^{2} is a fundamental constant and for the more phenomenologically interesting case in which the MOND acceleration changes with the cosmological expansion rate.

description: Large high-quality single crystals of hole-doped iron-based superconductor (Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ were grown over a broad composition range $0.22 \leq x \leq 1$ by inverted temperature gradient method. We found that high soaking temperature, fast cooling rate, and adjusted temperature window of the growth are necessary to obtain single crystals of heavily K doped crystals (0.65$\leq x \leq$ 0.92) with narrow compositional distributions as revealed by sharp superconducting transitions in magnetization measurements and close to 100% superconducting volume fraction. The crystals were extensively characterized by x-ray and compositional analysis, revealing monotonic evolution of the $c$-axis crystal lattice parameter with K substitution. Quantitative measurements of the temperature-dependent in-plane resistivity, $ρ(T)$ found doping-independent, constant within error bars, resistivity at room temperature, $ρ(300K)$, in sharp contrast with significant doping dependence in electron and isovalent substituted BaFe$_2$As$_2$ based compositions. The shape of the temperature dependent resistivity, $ρ(T)$, shows systematic doping-evolution, being close to $T^2$ in overdoped and revealing significant contribution of the $T$-linear component at optimum doping. The slope of the upper critical field, $d H_{c2}/dT$, scales linearly with $T_c$ for both $H\parallel c$, $ H_{c2,c}$, and $H \parallel ab$, $H_{c2,ab}$. The anisotropy of the upper critical field, $γ\equiv H_{c2,ab} / H_{c2,c}$ determined near zero-field $T_c$ increases from $\sim$2 to 4-5 with increasing K doping level from optimal $x \sim$0.4 to strongly overdoped $x$=1.

description: Power sector decarbonization plays a vital role in the upcoming energy transition towards a more sustainable future. Decentralized energy resources, such as Electric Vehicles (EV) and solar photovoltaic systems (PV), are continuously integrated in residential power systems, increasing the risk of bottlenecks in power distribution networks. This paper aims to address the challenge of domestic EV charging while prioritizing clean, solar energy consumption. Real Time-of-Use tariffs are treated as a price-based Demand Response (DR) mechanism that can incentivize end-users to optimally shift EV charging load in hours of high solar PV generation with the use of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). Historical measurements from the Pecan Street dataset are analyzed to shape a flexibility potential reward to describe end-user charging preferences. Experimental results show that the proposed DQN EV optimal charging policy is able to reduce electricity bills by an average 11.5\% by achieving an average utilization of solar power 88.4

description: In this paper we study the $L^{p}$-$L^{q}$ boundedness of Fourier multipliers on the fundamental domain of a lattice in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ for $1 < p,q < \infty$ under the classical Hörmander condition. First, we introduce Fourier analysis on lattices and have a look at possible generalisations. We then prove the Hausdorff-Young inequality, Paley's inequality and the Hausdorff-Young-Paley inequality in the context of lattices. This amounts to a quantitative version of the $L^{p}$-$L^{q}$ boundedness of Fourier multipliers. Moreover, the Paley inequality allows us to prove the Hardy-Littlewood inequality.

description: A class of inflationary models that involve rapid bursts of particle productions predict observational signatures, such as bump-like features in the primordial scalar power spectrum. In this work, we analyze such models by comparing their predictions with the latest CMB data from Planck 2018. We consider two scenarios of particle production. The first one is a simple scenario consisting of a single burst of particle production during observable inflation. The second one consists of multiple bursts of particle production that lead to a series of bump-like features in the primordial power spectrum. We find that the second scenario of the multi-bump model gives better fit to the CMB data compared to the concordance $Λ$CDM model. We carried out model comparisons using Bayesian evidences. From the observational constraints on the amplitude of primordial features of the multi-bump model, we find that the coupling parameter $g$ responsible for particle production is bound to be $g< 0.05$.

Minsky Financial Instability, Interscale Feedback, Percolation and Marshall-Walras Disequilibrium

description: We study analytically and numerically Minsky instability as a combination of top-down, bottom-up and peer-to-peer positive feedback loops. The peer-to-peer interactions are represented by the links of a network formed by the connections between firms, contagion leading to avalanches and percolation phase transitions propagating across these links. The global parameter in the top-bottom, bottom-up feedback loop is the interest rate. Before the Minsky moment, in the Minsky Loans Accelerator stage, the relevant bottom parameter representing the individual firms micro-states is the quantity of loans. After the Minsky moment, in the Minsky Crisis Accelerator stage, the relevant bottom parameters are the number of ponzi units / quantity of failures, defaults. We represent the top-bottom, bottom-up interactions on a plot similar to the Marshal-Walras diagram for quantity-price market equilibrium (where the interest rate is the analog of the price). The Minsky instability is then simply emerging as a consequence of the fixed point (the intersection of the supply and demand curves) being unstable (repulsive). In the presence of network effects, one obtains more than one fixed point and a few dynamic regimes (phases). We describe them and their implications for understanding, predicting and steering economic instability.

description: This study focuses on the experiences of an NSF Robert Noyce scholar enrolled in the MAT program at the University of Vermont. Case study research methodology (Stake, 2006) was utilized to address the question: How effective are Noyce scholars in utilizing student performance data to adapt and modify instruction? Multiple sources of data such as interviews, observations, and artifacts were collected for the construction of vignettes that illustrate facets of the case and represent new findings and understandings about how this scholar's assessment practices impacted student learning over time.

Colpomenia peregrina

description: (1) Colpomenia peregrina Sauvageau, 1927
Status in U.K. – non-native.
Colpomenia peregrina (“oyster thief”) has been frequently recorded through the monitoring programme, at several sites each year since 2014. It was recorded at five new sites in 2016: Westray and Stromness marinas and at Burray, Shapinsay and Stronsay Visitor Yacht Moorings. In both 2016 and 2017, it was most frequently found in rapid assessment samples but was also present in a few scrape samples in 2017.
Import of oysters from the U.S.A. has frequently been cited as the vector for the introduction of C. peregrina to Europe (Blackler 1964; Eno et al. 1997). However, a recent molecular study (Lee et al. 2014) suggests that European populations were derived from the north-west Pacific rather than America. Cotton (1908) believed that it may have reached Britain via natural dispersal from previously introduced French populations but did not discount vessel transport or transport on imported oysters as possible vectors. It is thought to have arrived in Britain in 1906–1907 and was already present in two discrete locations, Swanage and Torquay, and in relatively high abundance when it was discovered; it had not been detected at Swanage in early 1906 (Cotton 1908). Following its first known occurrence in the U.K., it quickly spread through natural dispersal and was first recorded from the Orkney Islands in 1940 (Lund 1949). More recently, Want et al. (2017) recorded it fouling marine renewable energy structures in Orkney.

Zipf-Mandelbrot-Pareto model for co-authorship popularity

description: Each co-author (CA) of any scientist can be given a rank ($r$) of importance according to the number ($J$) of joint publications which the authors have together. In this paper, the Zipf-Mandelbrot-Pareto law, i.e. $ J \propto 1/(ν+r)^ζ$ is shown to reproduce the empirical relationship between $J$ and $r$ and shown to be preferable to a mere power law, $ J \propto 1/r^α $. The CA core value, i.e. the core number of CAs, is unaffected, of course. The demonstration is made on data for two authors, with a high number of joint publications, recently considered by Bougrine (2014) and for 7 authors, distinguishing between their "journal" and "proceedings" publications as suggested by Miskiewicz (2013). The rank-size statistics is discussed and the $α$ and $ζ$ exponents are compared. The correlation coefficient is much improved ($\sim$ 0.99, instead of 0.92). There are marked deviations of such a co-authorship popularity law depending on sub-fields. On one hand, this suggests an interpretation of the parameter $ν$. On the other hand, it suggests a novel model on the (likely time dependent) structural and publishing properties of research teams. Thus, one can propose a scenario for how a research team is formed and grows. This is based on a hierarchy utility concept, justifying the empirical Zipf-Mandelbrot-Pareto law, assuming a simple form for the CA publication/cost ratio, $c_r = c_0\: log_2 (ν+r)$. In conclusion, such a law and model can suggest practical applications on measures of research teams. In Appendices, the frequency-size cumulative distribution function is discussed for two sub-fields, with other technicalities

description: The accuracy of two widely used scalar-relativistic Hartree-Fock pseudopotentials, the Trail-Needs-Dirac-Fock (TNDF) and the Burkatzki-Filippi-Dolg (BFD) pseudopotentials, is assessed. The performance of the pseudopotentials is tested for a chemically representative set of 34 first-row molecules. All comparisons are made at the Hartree-Fock level of theory, and both sets of pseudopotentials give good results. The all-electron equilibrium geometries, molecular dissociation energies, and zero-point vibrational energies are reproduced a little more accurately by the TNDF pseudopotentials than the BFD ones.
