description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Increased adult mortality is predicted to decrease maturation age and increase reproductive effort at the cost of somatic growth. Using Swedish survey data we assessed whether the Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) stocks (ICES subdivisions 22-24 and 25-30) have undergone evolutionary changes in maturation reaction norm by age and length during years 1989 - 2003. Both male and female cod from the Baltic Proper showed decreasing trends in length at age and condition in several ages but such changes were not detected in subdivisions 22-24. Female cod from the Baltic Proper showed linear trend towards decreased length at 50% probability of maturing at age at several ages but there were no statistically significant trends in males. In the western population, detected trends were not unambiguous. Cod males in the Baltic Proper had a reaction norm for earlier maturation than females, but in the Western Baltic such difference did not exist between sexes. Western cod tended to reach the somewhat larger maturation size at the same age as their slower-growing specimens from the Baltic proper. Good condition at small size and at young age contributed to high maturation probability. Our results suggest that evolutionary effects of fishing might differ between sexes. We suggest that some fisheries-induced evolution has occurred in the heavily exploited cod population of the Baltic Proper, but further studies are needed about factors that led to the concurrent decrease in their condition.

description: Experimental implementations of quantum computer architectures are now being investigated in many different physical settings. The full set of requirements that must be met to make quantum computing a reality in the laboratory [1] is daunting, involving capabilities well beyond the present state of the art. In this report we develop a significant simplification of these requirements that can be applied in many recent solid-state approaches, using quantum dots [2], and using donor-atom nuclear spins [3] or electron spins [4]. In these approaches, the basic two-qubit quantum gate is generated by a tunable Heisenberg interaction (the Hamiltonian is $H_{ij}=J(t){\vec S}_i\cdot{\vec S}_j$ between spins $i$ and $j$), while the one-qubit gates require the control of a local Zeeman field. Compared to the Heisenberg operation, the one-qubit operations are significantly slower and require substantially greater materials and device complexity, which may also contribute to increasing the decoherence rate. Here we introduce an explicit scheme in which the Heisenberg interaction alone suffices to exactly implement any quantum computer circuit, at a price of a factor of three in additional qubits and about a factor of ten in additional two-qubit operations. Even at this cost, the ability to eliminate the complexity of one-qubit operations should accelerate progress towards these solid-state implementations of quantum computation.

Dynamical family properties and dark halo scaling relations of giant elliptical galaxies

description: Based on a uniform dynamical analysis of line-profile shapes for 21 luminous round elliptical galaxies, we have investigated the dynamical family relations of ellipticals: (i) The circular velocity curves (CVCs) of elliptical galaxies are flat to within ~10% for R>~0.2R_e. (ii) Most ellipticals are moderately radially anisotropic; their dynamical structure is surprisingly uniform. (iii) Elliptical galaxies follow a Tully-Fisher (TF) relation, with v_c^max=300 km/s for an L_B^* galaxy. At given v_c^max, they are ~1 mag fainter in B and appear to have slightly lower baryonic mass than spirals even for maximum M/L_B. (iv) The luminosity dependence of M/L_B is confirmed. The tilt of the Fundamental Plane is not caused by dynamical non-homology, nor only by an increasing dark matter fraction with L. It is, however, consistent with stellar population models based on published metallicities and ages. The main driver is therefore probably metallicity, and a secondary population effect is needed to explain the K-band tilt. (v) These results make it likely that elliptical galaxies have nearly maximal M/L_B (minimal halos). (vi) Despite the uniformly flat CVCs, there is a spread in cumulative M/L_B(r). Some galaxies have no indication for dark matter within 2R_e, whereas others have local M/L_Bs of 20-30 at 2R_e. (vii) In models with maximum stellar mass, the dark matter contributes ~10-40% of the mass within R_e. (viii) The corresponding halo core densities and phase-space densities are at least ~25 times larger and the halo core radii ~4 times smaller than in spiral galaxies of the same v_c^max. The increase in M/L sets in at ~10 times larger acceleration than in spirals. This could imply that elliptical galaxy halos collapsed at high redshift or that some of the dark matter in ellipticals might be baryonic. (abridged)

description: Le secteur public se distingue du secteur privé par sa capacité à mettre en œuvre rapidement des évolutions décidées par le politique, parfois au détriment de critères tels que l'efficience et la faisabilité. Les réformes s'accélèrent, ajoutant à la complexité de leur mise en œuvre. Le secteur public doit faire face à des défis paradoxaux, comme la gestion des besoins des usagers au-delà des droits acquis, la sélection stricte des investissements malgré des impératifs budgétaires renforcés, et une demande croissante d'efficacité et d'excellence des services nouveaux et territorialisés. La sécurité des traitements, la confidentialité des données, la traçabilité des accès, le contrôle interne et la protection contre les risques de fraude sont cruciaux dans un contexte d'ouverture et de partage des services et des informations. La flambée de la Covid-19 a impacté les nations sur les plans économique, social et politique, conduisant à des politiques de maîtrise du virus telles que la fermeture des frontières, des restrictions de transport, des couvre-feux et des confinements. La crise sanitaire a accéléré l'adoption du numérique pour éviter les contacts humains, devenant un instrument essentiel pour le développement des pays et la compétitivité des administrations publiques. Face à cela, les organisations sont appelées à développer des réponses organisationnelles à la hauteur du contexte, soulignant l'importance de la résilience organisationnelle (RO). La RO, cruciale au même niveau que la performance et l'efficience, implique la gestion des conditions difficiles pour garantir l'existence et la prospérité de l'entreprise. La pandémie a accru l'intérêt pour la résilience, conduisant à des solutions telles que la transformation digitale, jugée cruciale pour améliorer les performances. Cet article explore dans quelle mesure la transformation digitale peut être une opportunité pour soutenir la résilience des organisations publiques.

description: AMI observations towards CIZA J2242+5301, in comparison with observations of weak gravitational lensing and X-ray emission from the literature, are used to investigate the behaviour of non-baryonic dark matter (NBDM) and gas during the merger. Analysis of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) signal indicates the presence of high pressure gas elongated perpendicularly to the X-ray and weak-lensing morphologies which, given the merger-axis constraints in the literature, implies that high pressure gas is pushed out into a linear structure during core passing. Simulations in the literature closely matching the inferred merger scenario show the formation of gas density and temperature structures perpendicular to the merger axis. These SZ observations are challenging for modified gravity theories in which NBDM is not the dominant contributor to galaxy-cluster gravity.

Solitary water waves with discontinuous vorticity

description: We investigate the existence of solitary gravity waves traversing a two-dimensional body of water that is bounded below by a flat impenetrable ocean bed and above by a free surface of constant pressure. Our main interest is constructing waves of this form that exhibit a discontinuous distribution of vorticity. More precisely, this means that the velocity limits both upstream and downstream to a laminar flow that is merely Lipschitz continuous. We prove that, for any choice of background velocity with this regularity, there exists a global curve of solutions bifurcating from a critical laminar flow and including waves arbitrarily close to having stagnation points. Each of these waves has an axis of even symmetry, and the height of their streamlines above the bed decreases monotonically as one moves to the right of the crest.

description: Psychoanalysis has always needed myths and literature to explain the mysteries of human psychology. This is particularly true for the feminine part of our personality. By means of autobiographical statements and song texts by Barbara, the author shows how this French singer and poet has succeeded in putting images and words on the feminine: receptiveness, concavity, affectivity, sensibility, sensuality, etc. But Barbara’s work also testifies to a subversion of the feminine following a traumatic sexual experience, which then could turn into a form of melancholy.

description: An influence of nonlinear interference processes at quantum transitions under strong resonance electromagnetic fields on absorption, amplification and refractive indices as well as on four-wave mixing processes is investigated. Doppler broadening of the coupled transitions, incoherent excitation, relaxation processes, as well as power saturation processes associated with the coupled levels are taken into account. Both closed (ground state is involved) and open (only excited states are involved) energy level configurations are considered. Common expressions are obtained which allow one to analyze the optical characteristics (including gain without inversion and enhanced refractive index at vanishing absorption) for various V, Lambda and H configurations of interfering transitions by a simple substitution of parameters. Similar expressions for resonant four-wave mixing in Raman configurations are derived too. Crucial role of Doppler broadening is shown. The theory is applied to numerical analysis of some recent and potential experiments.

This versatile preparation scheme is particularly well suited to performing matter-wave interferometry with species exhibiting closely-separated hyperfine levels, such as the isotopes of lithium and potassium, and opens new possibilities for metrology with these atoms. We demonstrate the feasibility of such measurements by realizing an atomic gravimeter and a Ramsey-type spectrometer, both of which exhibit a state-of-the-art sensitivity for cold potassium.

description: In the large coupling regime of the 5-dimensional Einstein--Maxwell--Chern--Simons theory, charged and rotating cohomogeneity-1 black holes form sequences of extremal and non-extremal radially excited configurations. These asymptotically global Anti-de Sitter (AdS$_5$) black holes form a discrete set of solutions, characterised by the vanishing of the total angular momenta, or the horizon angular velocity. However, the solutions are not static. In this paper, we study the branch structure that contains these excited states, and its relation with the static Reissner-Nordström-AdS black hole. Thermodynamic properties of these solutions are considered, revealing that the branches with lower excitation number can become thermodynamically unstable beyond certain critical solutions that depend on the free parameters of the configuration.

description: We have performed a detailed study of the broadband spectra of the luminous globular cluster X-ray sources using BeppoSAX. With the exception of X2127+119, located in NGC7078, all the other spectra are well represented by a two component model consisting of a disk-blackbody and Comptonized emission. The measured low-energy absorptions are in good agreement with those predicted from optical measurements of the host globular clusters. This implies that there is little intrinsic X-ray absorption within the binaries themselves, and that the above spectral model provides a good representation of the low-energy continua. The sources can be divided into two groups. In the first group, composed of 3 ultra-compact (orbital period <1hr) sources, the disk-blackbody temperatures and inner-radii appear physically realistic and the Comptonization seed photons temperatures and radii of the emission areas are consistent with the disk temperatures and inner radii. For all the other sources, the disk-blackbody parameters appear not to be physically realistic and the Comptonization parameters are unrelated to those of the disk-blackbody emission. If this is a spectral signature of ultra-compact binaries, this implies that no other ultra-compact binaries are present among those studied here. It is unclear why this difference between the two types of binaries should exist.

description: Mélisande, the central figure of Debussy’s opera (1902), uses verbal language as well as musical language. The present study intends to carry out a semiotic analysis of her character made of mystery and neurosis (as is usual with several female heroines in the second half of the nineteenth century). Relying on intersemiotic and stylistic devices, the analysis of various scenes in which Mélisande appears will show how Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande manages to combine text and music.

When the RABiTS tape was dipped in the solution without applying voltage, a thin Se film was deposited on the substrate. The compositional ratio of the FeSe film got closer to the stoichiometric ratio with decreasing the dipping time before applying voltage.

description: Recently, M. Chertkov and V.Y. Chernyak derived an exact expression for the partition sum (normalization constant) corresponding to a graphical model, which is an expansion around the Belief Propagation solution. By adding correction terms to the BP free energy, one for each "generalized loop" in the factor graph, the exact partition sum is obtained. However, the usually enormous number of generalized loops generally prohibits summation over all correction terms. In this article we introduce Truncated Loop Series BP (TLSBP), a particular way of truncating the loop series of M. Chertkov and V.Y. Chernyak by considering generalized loops as compositions of simple loops. We analyze the performance of TLSBP in different scenarios, including the Ising model, regular random graphs and on Promedas, a large probabilistic medical diagnostic system. We show that TLSBP often improves upon the accuracy of the BP solution, at the expense of increased computation time. We also show that the performance of TLSBP strongly depends on the degree of interaction between the variables. For weak interactions, truncating the series leads to significant improvements, whereas for strong interactions it can be ineffective, even if a high number of terms is considered.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Harvest often affects abundance and population dynamics of the targeted species, but effects may be different and more diverse for hermaphrodites compared to dioeciuos species. One effect of harvest is that it normally truncates age- and size-distributions (Jennings et al. 2004), which in the case of sequential hermaphrodites can virtually remove one of the sexes (Alonzo and Mangel 2004). The severity of this effect depends on how flexible the sex changing rule is (Alonzo and Mangel 2005). In shrimp, the proportion of early maturing females (individuals that skip the male phase and reproduce as females already in their first reproductive season) responds to the composition of the population, and is higher in years when many females have been removed by fishing (Charnov 1982).

description: Background and Objectives: Prolonged bed rest after the resection of spinal intradural tumors is postulated to mitigate the development of cerebrospinal fluid leaks (CSFLs), which is one of the feared postoperative complications. Nonetheless, the empirical evidence supporting this conjecture remains limited and requires further investigation. The goal of the study was to investigate whether prolonged bed rest lowers the risk of CSFL after the resection of spinal intradural tumors. The primary outcome was the rate of CSFL in each cohort. Materials and Methods: To validate this hypothesis, we conducted a comparative effectiveness research (CER) study at two distinct academic neurosurgical centers, wherein diverse postoperative treatment protocols were employed. Specifically, one center adopted a prolonged bed rest regimen lasting for three days, while the other implemented early postoperative mobilization. For statistical analysis, case–control matching was performed. Results: Out of an overall 451 cases, we matched 101 patients from each center. We analyzed clinical records and images from each case. In the bed rest center, two patients developed a CSFL (n = 2, 1.98%) compared to four patients (n = 4, 3.96%) in the early mobilization center (p = 0.683). Accordingly, CSFL development was not associated with early mobilization (OR 2.041, 95% CI 0.365–11.403; p = 0.416). Univariate and multivariate analysis identified expansion duraplasty as an independent risk factor for CSFL (OR 60.33, 95% CI: 0.015–0.447; p < 0.001). Conclusions: In this CER, we demonstrate that early mobilization following the resection of spinal intradural tumors does not confer an increased risk of the development of CSFL.

Il ruolo sociale delle popstar
Creators: name: Savonardo, Lello
Publisher: name: ATeM Archiv für Textmusikforschung
Year: 2019

description: Carrying out a careful sociological analysis of pop music, youth culture and expressive languages, this essay emphasises the social role of pop stars in today’s society. Drawing on cultural studies and research on youth subcultures, the paper considers rap music as a modern way of expressing social issues. In a second step, it seeks to analyse the symbolic power of pop stars and the use of digital technologies that transform the creative process.
Pop music as a cultural phenomenon is in perpetual mutation; pop culture represents a locus where social transformations play out. Starting with the Birmingham School of Cultural Studies, sociological approaches to pop music have understood musical phenomena as the product of youth culture and examined the ways in which pop music as a cultural factor contributes to the socialization, the acknowledgment and the development of individual and collective identities.
Youth from different generations and contexts identify with pop stars whose social role is particularly relevant. The influence of digital technologies on creative processes, on production methods and on ways of exploiting music, is redefining traditional categories of the interpretation of art as well as the perception of the role of the pop star. At the same time, these affect the social role of the artwork, encompassing both artist and recipient.

description: We investigate exponential phase moments of the s-parametrized quasidistributions (smoothed Wigner functions). We show that the knowledge of these moments as functions of s provides, together with photon-number statistics, a complete description of the quantum state. We demonstrate that the exponential phase moments can be directly sampled from the data recorded in balanced homodyne detection and we present simple expressions for the sampling kernels. The phase moments are Fourier coefficients of phase distributions obtained from the quasidistributions via integration over the radial variable in polar coordinates. We performed Monte Carlo simulations of the homodyne detection and we demonstrate the feasibility of direct sampling of the moments and subsequent reconstruction of the phase distribution.

description: We investigate the spin of a multielectron GaAs quantum dot in a sequence of nine charge occupancies, by exchange coupling the multielectron dot to a neighboring two-electron double quantum dot. For all nine occupancies, we make use of a leakage spectroscopy technique to reconstruct the spectrum of spin states in the vicinity of the interdot charge transition between a single- and a multielectron quantum dot. In the same regime we also perform time-resolved measurements of coherent exchange oscillations between the single- and multielectron quantum dot. With these measurements, we identify distinct characteristics of the multielectron spin state, depending on whether the dot's occupancy is even or odd. For three out of four even occupancies we do not observe any exchange interaction with the single quantum dot, indicating a spin-0 ground state. For the one remaining even occupancy, we observe an exchange interaction that we associate with a spin-1 multielectron quantum dot ground state. For all five of the odd occupancies, we observe an exchange interaction associated with a spin-1/2 ground state. For three of these odd occupancies, we clearly demonstrate that the exchange interaction changes sign in the vicinity of the charge transition. For one of these, the exchange interaction is negative (i.e. triplet-preferring) beyond the interdot charge transition, consistent with the observed spin-1 for the next (even) occupancy. Our experimental results are interpreted through the use of a Hubbard model involving two orbitals of the multielectron quantum dot. Allowing for the spin correlation energy (i.e. including a term favoring Hund's rules) and different tunnel coupling to different orbitals, we qualitatively reproduce the measured exchange profiles for all occupancies.

description: The cosmic-ray spectrum up to the knee ($E\sim 10^{15}$ eV) is attributed to acceleration processes taking place at the blastwaves which bound supernova remnants. Theoretical predictions give a similar estimate for the maximum energy which can be reached at supernova remnant shocks by particle acceleration. Electrons with energies of the order $\sim 10^{15}$ eV should give a nonthermal X-ray component in young supernova remnants. Recent observations of SN1006 and G347.3-0.5 confirm this prediction. We present a method which uses hydrodynamical simulations to describe the evolution of a young remnant. These results are combined with an algorithm which simultaneously calculates the associated particle acceleration. We use the test particle approximation, which means that the back-reaction on the dynamics of the remnant by the energetic particles is neglected. We present synchrotron maps in the X-ray domain, and present spectra of the energies of the electrons in the supernova remnant. Some of our results can be compared directly with earlier semi-analytical work on this subject by Reynolds [1].

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Age and size at maturation has been observed to decrease in several commercially exploited fish stocks, which, according to life history theory, might be due to fisheries-induced evolutionary change. However, an evolutionary interpretation is not unambiguous as the observed changes may also represent a plastic response to changes in the environment: e.g. compensatory density-dependence in growth and maturation, or a direct response of maturation to increased body condition or to temperature. To disentangle phenotypic plasticity from evolutionary change, we employ the probabilistic reaction norm approach, which allows us to estimate the probabilities of becoming mature independent of growth and survival. The analysis of 34 cohorts (1963 to 1996) of female North Sea sole from market samples shows that the reaction norm for age and size at first maturation has significantly shifted towards younger ages and smaller sizes. Size at 50% probability of maturation at age 3 decreased from 28 cm to 25 cm, whereas this change occurred mainly in the second half of the analyzed period. The same result is found if changes in condition and temperature are considered by introducing them as a 3rd dimension in the reaction norm method. Good condition facilitates early maturation and temperature 3 years prior to maturation was positively related to the probability of maturation. The results provide support of a fisheries-induced evolutionary change in the onset of sexual maturity.

description: The conventional definition of ground-level enhancement (GLE) events requires a detection of solar energetic particles (SEP) by at least two differently located neutron monitors. Some places are exceptionally well suitable for ground-based detection of SEP - high-elevation polar regions with negligible geomagnetic and reduced atmospheric energy/rigidity cutoffs. At present, there are two neutron-monitor stations in such locations on the Antarctic plateau: SOPO/SOPB (at Amundsen-Scott station, 2835 m elevation), and DOMC/DOMB (at Concordia station, 3233 m elevation). Since 2015, when the DOMC/DOMB station started continuous operation, a relatively weak SEP event that was not detected by sea-level neutron-monitor stations was registered by both SOPO/SOPB and DOMC/DOMB, and it was accordingly classified as a GLE. This would lead to a distortion of the homogeneity of the historic GLE list and the corresponding statistics. To address this issue, we propose to modify the GLE definition so that it maintains the homogeneity: A GLE event is registered when there are near-time coincident and statistically significant enhancements of the count rates of at least two differently located neutron monitors, including at least one neutron monitor near sea level and a corresponding enhancement in the proton flux measured by a space-borne instrument(s). Relatively weak SEP events registered only by high-altitude polar neutron monitors, but with no response from cosmic-ray stations at sea level, can be classified as sub-GLEs.

description: We investigate a Bell-type inequality for probabilities of detected atoms formulated using atom-photon interactions in a cavity. We consider decoherence brought about by both atomic decay, as well as cavity photon loss, and study its quantitative action in diminishing the atom-field and the resultant atom-atom secondary correlations. We show that the effects of decoherence on nonlocality can be observed in a controlled manner in actual experiments involving the micromaser and also the microlaser.
