title: Future Re-visions
title: The Construction of Generic Identity in the Italian Translated Titles of Anglo-American Science Fiction
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Bianchi, Diana
Publisher: name: Edizioni Ca' Foscari - Digital Publishing
Year: 2016

description: Science fiction is a foreign genre within the Italian literary tradition, to the extent that ever since it was ‘imported’ in Italy in the early 1950s, translations from English have been the main form through which SF has circulated in Italy in the following decades. Such translations were initially published in popular book series that highlighted the most escapist and colourful elements of the genre. In the 1970s, however, there was an attempt to ‘revise’ it, toning down science fiction’s popular roots and employing discursive strategies more typical of canonical literature. Paratexts played a key role in relation to this re-articulation of a popular genre. Titles, cover illustrations and advertising blurbs, all contributed to offering a new representation of science fiction, more sophisticated from a literary point of view but also with more generic constraints. This paper will analyse the presentational strategies employed in these new ‘revised’ versions of science fiction, focusing in particular on the translation of titles and the way in which they rebuilt different generic borders.

A unified description of the hidden-charm tetraquark states $Z_{cs}(3985)$, $Z_c(3900)$ and $X(4020)$

description: The newly observed hidden-charm tetraquark state $Z_{cs}(3985)$, together with $Z_c(3900)$ and $X(4020)$, are studied in the combined theoretical framework of the effective range expansion, compositeness relation and the decay width saturation. The elastic effective-range-expansion approach leads to sensible results for the scattering lengths, effective ranges and the compositeness coefficients, $i.e.$, the probabilities to find the two-charm-meson molecule components in the tetraquark states. The coupled-channel formalism by including the $J/ψπ$ and $D\bar{D}^*/\bar{D}D^*$ to fulfill the constraints of the compositeness relation and the decay width, confirms the elastic effective-range-expansion results for the $Z_c(3900)$, by using the experimental inputs for the ratios of the decay widths between $D\bar{D}^*/\bar{D}D^*$ and $J/ψπ$. With the results from the elastic effective-range-expansion study as input for the compositeness, we generalize the discussions to the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ by including the $J/ψK^{-}$ and $D_s^{-}D^{*0}/D_s^{*-}D^{0}$, and predict the partial decay widths of the $J/ψK^{-}$. Similar calculations are also carried out for the $X(4020)$ by including the $h_cπ$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$, and the partial decay widths of the $h_cπ$ is predicted. Our results can provide useful guidelines for future experimental measurements.

title: Body and Time in Don DeLillo’s The Body Artist
Creators: name: Patrizi, Chiara
Publisher: name: Edizioni Ca' Foscari - Digital Publishing
Year: 2016

description: This research looks at Don DeLillo’s shortest novel by considering body and time as the two factors that are essential in order to understand the existential path that the book outlines. The aim is to provide a new interpretation of the novel, able to highlight its real-life concern for traumatic mourning, particularly in response to the suicide of an intimate. The literary study focuses on the journey started by the protagonist, the body artist Lauren Hartke, after the suicide of her husband, a journey that goes through the uncanny spaces which shape our existence as human beings. In fact, in The Body Artist DeLillo registers the impact of loss as the ‘ghostin’ of the living, not the dead, who are on their own, with whatever arts are at their disposal to live what cannot be explained or shown, discovered or imagined – only known. The analysis of the novel examines how and why does the work of addressing trauma go through the body, as much as the mind, and investigates how time comes to be the spatial dimension where our inner self moves in order to re-gain possession of itself. As a result, it is no surprising that Body Time is also the title of Lauren’s latest performance: that is, ‘Body’ and ‘Time’ are the two elements she needs to renew herself, the two places she must travel through if she wants to live again. Two places that end up in being one only.

description: We replicate Bocquého et al. (2014), who used multiple price lists to investigate the risk preferences of 107 French farmers. We collected new data from 1430 participants in 11 European farming systems. In agreement with the original study, farmers' risk preferences are best described by Cumulative Prospect Theory. Structural model estimates show that farmers in the new samples are, on average, less loss averse and more susceptible to probability distortion than in the original study. Explorative analyses indicate differences between estimation approaches, as well as heterogeneity between and within samples. We discuss challenges in replications of economic experiments with farmers across farming contexts.

description: We present X-ray and multi-band optical observations of the afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 180418A, discovered by ${\it Swift}$/BAT and ${\it Fermi}$/GBM. We present a reanalysis of the GBM and BAT data deriving durations of the prompt emission of $T_{90}\approx$2.56s and $\approx$1.90s, respectively. Modeling the ${\it Fermi}$/GBM catalog of 1405 bursts (2008-2014) in the Hardness-$T_{90}$ plane, we obtain a probability of $\approx$60% that GRB 180418A is a short-hard burst. From a combination of ${\it Swift}$/XRT and ${\it Chandra}$ observations, the X-ray afterglow is detected to $\approx$38.5 days after the burst, and exhibits a single power-law decline with $F_{\rm X} \propto t^{-0.98}$. Late-time Gemini observations reveal a faint r$\approx$25.69 mag host galaxy at an angular offset of $\approx$0.16''. At the likely redshift range of z$\approx$1-2.25, we find that the X-ray afterglow luminosity of GRB 180418A is intermediate between short and long GRBs at all epochs during which there is contemporaneous data, and that GRB 180418A lies closer to the $E_{γ,{\rm peak}}-E_{γ,{\rm iso}}$ correlation for short GRBs. Modeling the multi-wavelength afterglow with the standard synchrotron model, we derive the burst explosion properties and find a jet opening angle of $θ_{\rm j} \gtrsim 9-14^{\circ}$. If GRB 180418A is a short GRB that originated from a neutron star merger, it has one of the brightest and longest-lived afterglows along with an extremely faint host galaxy. If instead the event is a long GRB that originated from a massive star collapse, it has among the lowest luminosity afterglows, and lies in a peculiar space in terms of the Hardness-$T_{90}$ and $E_{γ,{\rm peak}}-E_{γ,{\rm iso}}$ planes.

description: We test the hypothesis that environments play a key role in enabling the growth of enormous radio structures spanning more than 700 kpc, an extreme population of radio galaxies called giant radio galaxies (GRGs). To achieve this, we explore (1) the relationships between the occurrence of GRGs and the surface number density of surrounding galaxies, including satellite galaxies and galaxies from neighboring halos, as well as (2) the GRG locations towards large-scale structures. The analysis is done by making use of a homogeneous sample of 110 GRGs detected from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey in combination with photometric galaxies from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and a large-scale filament catalog from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our results show that the properties of galaxies around GRGs are similar with that around the two control samples, consisting of galaxies with optical colors and luminosity matched to the properties of the GRG host galaxies. Additionally, the properties of surrounding galaxies depend on neither their relative positions to the radio jet/lobe structures nor the sizes of GRGs. We also find that the locations of GRGs and the control samples with respect to the nearby large-scale structures are consistent with each other. These results demonstrate that there is no correlation between the GRG properties and their environments traced by stars, indicating that external galaxy environments are not the primary cause of the large sizes of the radio structures. Finally, regarding radio feedback, we show that the fraction of blue satellites does not correlate with the GRG properties, suggesting that the current epoch of radio jets have minimal influence on the nature of their surrounding galaxies.

description: There are a number of factors working against a successful Doha Round conclusion. Several of these affect the linkages and trade-offs between the main elements of the Doha Round negotiating agenda, particularly agriculture, non-agricultural market access (NAMA), services, and rules. For most of the past six years, the negotiating difficulties in agriculture were regarded as the main constraint to concluding the Doha Round. However, in recent months, as the shape of the agricultural package became clearer, it has become apparent that there are also major obstacles to be overcome elsewhere in the negotiations; especially in NAMA.

title: Gossip Between Social Media and Fiction
title: The Case of Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Tommasi, Giorgia
Publisher: name: Edizioni Ca' Foscari - Digital Publishing
Year: 2016

description: Representations of gossip thrive in contemporary American literature and TV series, and they are often tied to the impact the Internet and social media have had on the way we communicate. Far from being a new phenomenon, fictional depictions of gossip are found in the very first forms of literature. In general however, literary narratives have assumed a highbrow attitude toward gossip, linking it to minor, morally flawed characters. Also, being portrayed as idle talk, gossip has often been used in opposition to more refined forms of speech. Yet, gossip is a form of narration that responds to the basic need of all fictions, that is, to tell stories about other people. In the era of social media, gossip has acquired prominence in shaping communication, and one can notice a form of exchange between social media gossiping and fictional representation: while on the net gossip shows literary aspirations, in fictions such as Jonathan Franzen’s ​Freedom​ gossip stands out as a structural device capable to serve both plot formation and character construction. The analysis of the first chapter of ​Freedom​ shows the workings of gossip with the result of destabilizing the one-dimensionality of the protagonists, giving voice to multiple perspectives on the real and setting up questions that the plot is supposed to solve.

titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Frison, Anita
Publisher: name: Edizioni Ca' Foscari - Digital Publishing
Year: 2016

description: Andrei Belyi (1880-1934) wrote several works about his trip to North Africa in 1911. The analysis of his ‘African’ letters (to his mother, to A. Blok, E. Metner, A. Kožebatkin, A. Petrovskij and M. Morozova) shows the coexistence of the orientalist thinking and a gradual distaste for the European world. Belyi undoubtedly describes Arabic people using typical orientalist commonplaces, thus putting himself inside the Western cultural identity (which has always created these stereotypes, as highlighted by Edward Said in Orientalism); but he also looks at the European colonists from an external point of view, that of a Russian not directly involved in the imperialistic division of the African continent. These first-hand reports show the beginning of his rejection of Western society and the starting point for the creation of a Russian identity, clearly separated from the European one. This process is not unique. In fact, it is a peculiar feature of the so called ‘Russian orientalism’: while talking about ‘the Orient’, Russian travellers and writers have often also considered the ‘West’, namely Europe, in an attempt to shape Russia’s cultural identity and clarify its ambiguous position.

description: Due to their optical properties (localized surface plasmon resonance, LSPR), colloidally dispersed metal nanoparticles are well suited for selective heating by high-energy laser radiation above their melting point without being limited by the boiling point of the solvent, which represents an excellent complement to wet-chemical nanoparticle synthesis. By combining wet-chemical synthesis and postsynthesis laser treatment, the advantages of both methods can be used to specifically control the properties of nanoparticles. Especially in the colloidal synthesis of nanoalloys consisting of two or more metals with different redox potentials, wet-chemical synthesis quickly reaches its limits in terms of composition control and homogeneity. For this reason, the direct synthesis path is divided into two parts to take the strengths of both methods. After preparing Au–Cu hetero nanoparticles by wet-chemical synthesis, nanoalloys with previous adjusted composition can be formed by postsynthesis laser treatment. The formation of these nanoalloys can be followed by different characterization methods, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where the fusion of both metal domains and the formation of spherical and homogeneous Au–Cu nanoparticles can be observed. Moreover, the alloy formation can be followed by different shifts of X-ray diffraction (XRD) reflections and LSPR maxima depending on the composition.

description: Recent advances in learning techniques have enabled the modelling of dynamical systems for scientific and engineering applications directly from data. However, in many contexts explicit data collection is expensive and learning algorithms must be data-efficient to be feasible. This suggests using additional qualitative information about the system, which is often available from prior experiments or domain knowledge. We propose an approach to learning a vector field of differential equations using sparse Gaussian Processes that allows us to combine data and additional structural information, like Lie Group symmetries and fixed points. We show that this combination improves extrapolation performance and long-term behaviour significantly, while also reducing the computational cost.

description: Current negotiations at the WTO’s Committee on Trade and Environment have made it conceivable that WTO members agree on selective tariff cuts for certain Environmentally Preferable Products, in an attempt to combine gains from trade and from cleaner production/consumption. This raises questions on the environmental and welfare implications of trade policy when a close substitute (“environmentally worse") exists. Using a simple partial equilibrium model with two substitutable goods ('green' and conventional), we analyze the rationale for large trading countries to negotiate tariff cuts upon environmental characteristics of the production process. The extent and distribution of environmental and terms-of-trade effects are compared for three policy scenarios: free trade, selective tariff cuts for the 'green' product, domestic environmental policy. We show that if consumers in the importing country value the 'green’ product, selective tariff cuts result in lower pollution levels in both countries, due to substitution in consumption patterns. Other policies (full liberalization /unilateral environmental tax) may allow greater environmental benefits in one country, but result in an increase in pollution in the trading partner and an ambiguous global impact.
Validation of an FE model updating procedure for damage assessment using a modular laboratory experiment with a reversible damage mechanism

description: In this work, the systematic validation of a deterministic finite element (FE) model updating procedure for damage assessment is presented using a self-developed modular laboratory experiment. A fundamental, systematic validation of damage assessment methods is rarely conducted and in many experimental investigations, only one type of defect is introduced at only one position. Often, the damage inserted is irreversible and inspections are only performed visually. Thus, the damage introduced and, with it, the results of the damage assessment method considered are often not entirely analyzed in terms of quantity and quality. To address this shortcoming, a modular steel cantilever beam is designed with nine reversible damage positions and the option to insert different damage scenarios in a controlled manner. The measurement data are made available in open-access form which enables a systematic experimental validation of damage assessment methods. To demonstrate such a systematic validation using the modular laboratory experiment, a deterministic FE model updating procedure previously introduced by the authors is applied and extended. The FE model updating approach uses different parameterized damage distribution functions to update the stiffness properties of the structure considered. The mathematical formulation allows for an updating procedure that is independent of the FE mesh resolution and free of assumptions about the defect location while only needing few design variables. In this work, the FE model updating procedure is based only on eigenfrequency deviations. The results show a precise localization within ±0.05m of the nine different damage positions and a correct relative quantification of the three different damage scenarios considered. With that, first, it is shown that the deterministic FE model updating procedure presented is suitable for precise damage assessment. Second, this work demonstrates that the opportunity to introduce several reversible damage positions and distinctly defined types and severities of damage into the laboratory experiment presented generally enables the systematic experimental validation of damage assessment methods.

description: There is a pressing need for transformative change, with a vision of long-term human well-being within planetary boundaries. The lack of progress—despite increasing awareness and action—illustrates how challenging it is to foster change in our complex global society. Education and learning are needed to enable change. Transdisciplinary learning, which meaningfully integrates diverse knowledge and perspectives, contributes to developing an integrative understanding—a necessity for tackling complex challenges. We explore how transdisciplinary learning for early-career researchers can foster transformative change and lead to increased biodiversity conservation. This paper focuses on a case study of the authors’ shared experiences during the 2021 Alternet Summer School, which focused on transformative change for biodiversity conservation and human well-being. In this introspective research, we gained insights through an online survey for participants and organizers of the summer school (n = 27). Using qualitative content analysis, we identify seven crucial elements of transdisciplinary learning which can lead to transformative change on (a) a personal level, as the learning process shifts values and helps researchers identify their roles; (b) a research level, by rethinking science and providing tools for transdisciplinary approaches, and (c) a societal level, by moving from the individual to the collective and constructing a shared vision for a sustainable future. Participants highlighted how changes on all these levels could benefit biodiversity conservation. These insights point to the benefit of transdisciplinary learning opportunities that empower young researchers to take up their part in fostering transformative change.

description: The study of harmonic functions on a locally compact group $G$ has recently been transferred to a ``non-commutative'' setting in two different directions: C.-H. Chu and A. T.-M. Lau replaced the algebra $L^\infty(G)$ by the group von Neumann algebra $VN(G)$ and the convolution action of a probability measure $μ$ on $L^\infty(G)$ by the canonical action of a positive definite function $σ$ on $\VN(G)$; on the other hand, W. Jaworski and the first-named author replaced $L^\infty(G)$ by $B(L^2(G))$ to which the convolution action by $μ$ can be extended in a natural way. We establish a link between both approaches. The action of $σ$ on $VN(G)$ can be extended to $B (L^2(G))$. We study the corresponding space $\tilde{H}_σ$ of ``$σ$-harmonic operators'', i.e., fixed points in $B(L^2(G))$ under the action of $σ$. We show, under mild conditions on either $σ$ or $G$, that $\tilde{H}_σ$ is in fact a von Neumann subalgebra of $B (L^2(G))$. Our investigation of $\tilde{H}_σ$ relies, in particular, on a notion of support for an arbitrary operator in $B(L^2(G))$ that extends Eymard's definition for elements of $VN(G)$. Finally, we present an approach to $\tilde{H}_σ$ via ideals in $T (L^2(G))$ - where $T(L^2(G))$ denotes the trace class operators on $L^2(G)$, but equipped with a product different from composition -, as it was pioneered for harmonic functions by G. A. Willis.

description: Introduction: Management of dentofacial deficiencies requires knowledge about sutural morphology and complexity. The present study assesses midpalatal sutural morphology based on human cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using geometric morphometrics (GMM) and complexity scores. The study is the first to apply a sutural complexity score to human CBCT datasets and demonstrates the potential such a score has to improve objectiveness and comparability when analysing the midpalatal suture. Materials and methods: CBCTs of various age and sex groups were analysed retrospectively (n = 48). For the geometric morphometric analysis, landmark acquisition and generalised Procrustes superimposition were combined with principal component analysis to detect variability in sutural shape patterns. For complexity analysis, a windowed short-time Fourier transform with a power spectrum density (PSD) calculation was applied to resampled superimposed semi-landmarks. Results: According to the GMM, younger patients exhibited comparable sutural patterns. With increasing age, the shape variation increased among the samples. The principal components did not sufficiently capture complexity patterns, so an additional methodology was applied to assess characteristics such as sutural interdigitation. According to the complexity analysis, the average PSD complexity score was 1.465 (standard deviation = 0.010). Suture complexity increased with patient age (p < 0.0001), but was not influenced by sex (p = 0.588). The intra-class correlation coefficient exceeded 0.9, indicating intra-rater reliability. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that GMM applied to human CBCTs can reveal shape variations and allow the comparison of sutural morphologies across samples. We demonstrate that complexity scores can be applied to study human sutures captured in CBCTs and complement GMM for a comprehensive sutural analysis.

description: In math.GR/0510298, we showed that every loop isotopic to an F-quasigroup is a Moufang loop. Here we characterize, via two simple identities, the class of F-quasigroups which are isotopic to groups. We call these quasigroups FG-quasigroups. We show that FG-quasigroups are linear over groups. We then use this fact to describe their structure. This gives us, for instance, a complete description of the simple FG-quasigroups. Finally, we show an equivalence of equational classes between pointed FG-quasigroups and central generalized modules over a particular ring.

description: This paper develops two-step methods for solving contact problems with uncertainties. In the first step, we propose stochastic Lagrangian multiplier/penalty methods to compute a set of reduced basis. In the stochastic Lagrangian multiplier method, the stochastic solution is represented as a sum of products of a set of random variables and deterministic vectors. In the stochastic penalty method, the problem is divided into the solutions of non-contact and possible contact nodes, which are represented as sums of the products of two different sets of random variables and deterministic vectors, respectively. The original problems are then transformed into deterministic finite element equations and one-dimensional (corresponding to stochastic Lagrangian multiplier method)/two-dimensional (corresponding to stochastic penalty method) stochastic algebraic equations. The deterministic finite element equations are solved by existing numerical techniques, and the one-/two-dimensional stochastic algebraic equations are solved by a sampling method. Since the computational cost for solving stochastic algebraic equations does not increase dramatically as the stochastic dimension increases, the proposed methods avoid the curse of dimensionality in high-dimensional problems. Based on the reduced basis, we propose semi-reduced order Lagrangian multiplier/penalty equations with two components in the second step. One component is a reduced order equation obtained by smooth solutions of the reduced basis and the other is the full order equation for the nonsmooth solutions. A significant amount of computational cost is saved since the sizes of the semi-reduced order equations are usually small. Numerical examples of up to 100 dimensions demonstrate the good performance of the proposed methods.

description: Higher dimensional Einstein gravity in vacuum admits static black hole solutions with an Einstein manifold of non constant curvature as a horizon. This gives a much richer family of static black holes than in four dimensional GR. However, as we show in this paper, the Gauss-Bonnet string theory correction to Einstein gravity poses severe limitations on the geometry of a horizon Einstein manifold. The additional stringy constraints rule out most of the known examples of exotic black holes with a horizon of non constant curvature.

Large band splitting with tunable spin polarization in two-dimensional ferroelectric GaXY (X= Se, Te; Y= Cl, Br, I) family

description: It has been generally accepted that the spin-orbit coupling effect in noncentrosymmetric materials leads to the band splitting and non-trivial spin polarization in the momentum space. However, in some cases, zero net spin polarization in the split bands may occurs, dubbed as the band splitting with vanishing spin polarization (BSVSP) effect, protected by non-pseudo-polar point group symmetry of the wave vector in the first Brillouin zone [Liu et. al., Nat. Commun. \textbf{10}, 5144 (2019)]. In this paper, by using first-principles calculations, we show that the BSVSP effect emerges in two-dimensional (2D) nonsymmorphic Ga$XY$ ($X$= Se, Te; $Y$= Cl, Br, I) family, a new class of 2D materials having in-plane ferroelectricity. Taking the GaTeCl monolayer as a representative example, we observe the BSVSP effect in the split bands along the $X-M$ line located in the proximity of the conduction band minimum. By using $\vec{k}\cdot\vec{p}$ Hamiltonian derived based on the symmetry analysis, we clarify that such effect is originated from the cancellation of the local spin polarization, enforced by non-pseudo-polar $C_{2v}$ point group symmetry of the wave vector along the $X-M$ line. Importantly, we find that the spin polarization can be effectively induced by applying an external out-of-plane electric field, indicating that an electrically tunable spin polarization for spintronic applications is plausible.

description: While traditional earphones primarily offer private audio spaces, so-called "earables" emerged to offer a variety of sensing capabilities. Pioneering platforms like OpenEarable have introduced novel sensing platforms targeted at the ears, incorporating various sensors. The proximity of the ears to the eyes, brain, and facial muscles has also sparked investigation into sensing biopotentials. However, currently there is no platform available that is targeted at the ears to sense biopotentials. To address this gap, we introduce OpenEarable ExG - an open-source hardware platform designed to measure biopotentials in and around the ears. OpenEarable ExG can be freely configured and has up to 7 sensing channels. We initially validate OpenEarable ExG in a study with a left-right in-ear dual-electrode montage setup with 3 participants. Our results demonstrate the successful detection of smooth pursuit eye movements via Electrooculography (EOG), alpha brain activity via Electroencephalography (EEG), and jaw clenching via Electromyography (EMG). OpenEarable ExG is part of the OpenEarable initiative and is fully open-source under MIT license.

Testing CP Properties of Extra Higgs States at the HL-LHC

description: Extra Higgs states appear in various scenarios beyond the current Standard Model of elementary particles. If discovered at the LHC or future colliders, the question will arise whether CP is violated or conserved in the extended scalar sector. An unambiguous probe of (indirect) CP violation would be the observation that one of the extra Higgs particles is an admixture of a CP-even and a CP-odd state. We discuss the possibility to discover scalar CP violation in this way at the high-luminosity (HL) phase of the LHC. We focus on the Two-Higgs Doublet Model of type I, where we investigate its currently allowed parameter region. Considering a benchmark point that is compatible with the current constraints but within reach of the HL-LHC, we study the prospects of determining the CP property of an extra neutral Higgs state $H$ via the angular distribution of final states in the decay $H \to τ\barτ$. The analysis is performed at the reconstructed level, making use of a Boosted Decision Tree for efficient signal-background separation and a shape analysis for rejecting a purely CP-even or odd nature of $H$.

description: Simultaneous multiwavelength studies of X-ray binaries have been remarkably successful and resulted in improved physical constraints, a new understanding of the dependence of mass accretion rate on X-ray state, as well as insights on the time-dependent relationship between disk structure and mass-transfer rate. I will give some examples of the tremendous gains we have obtained in our understanding of XRBs by using multiwavelength observations. I will end with an appeal that while Spitzer cryogens are still available a special effort be put forth to obtaining coordinated observations including the mid-infrared: Whereas the optical and near-IR originate as superpositions of the secondary star and of accretion processes, the mid-IR crucially detects jet synchrotron emission from NSs that is virtually immeasurable at other wavelengths. A further benefit of Spitzer observations is that mid-infrared wavelengths can easily penetrate regions that are heavily obscured. Many X-ray binaries lie in the Galactic plane and as such are often heavily obscured in the optical by interstellar extinction. The infrared component of the SED, vital to the study of jets and dust, can be provided {\it only} by Spitzer; in the X-rays we currently have an unprecedented six satellites available and in the optical and radio dozens of ground-based facilities to complement the Spitzer observations.
