description: We present a method to confirm the planetary nature of objects in systems with multiple transiting exoplanet candidates. This method involves a Fourier-Domain analysis of the deviations in the transit times from a constant period that result from dynamical interactions within the system. The combination of observed anti-correlations in the transit times and mass constraints from dynamical stability allow us to claim the discovery of four planetary systems Kepler-25, Kepler-26, Kepler-27, and Kepler-28, containing eight planets and one additional planet candidate.

description: Protecting the dynamics of coupled quantum systems from decoherence by the environment is a key challenge for solid-state quantum information processing. An idle qubit can be efficiently insulated from the outside world via dynamical decoupling, as has recently been demonstrated for individual solid-state qubits. However, protection of qubit coherence during a multi-qubit gate poses a non-trivial problem: in general the decoupling disrupts the inter-qubit dynamics, and hence conflicts with gate operation. This problem is particularly salient for hybrid systems, wherein different types of qubits evolve and decohere at vastly different rates. Here we present the integration of dynamical decoupling into quantum gates for a paradigmatic hybrid system, the electron-nuclear spin register. Our design harnesses the internal resonance in the coupled-spin system to resolve the conflict between gate operation and decoupling. We experimentally demonstrate these gates on a two-qubit register in diamond operating at room temperature. Quantum tomography reveals that the qubits involved in the gate operation are protected as accurately as idle qubits. We further illustrate the power of our design by executing Grover's quantum search algorithm, achieving fidelities above 90% even though the execution time exceeds the electron spin dephasing time by two orders of magnitude. Our results directly enable decoherence-protected interface gates between different types of promising solid-state qubits. Ultimately, quantum gates with integrated decoupling may enable reaching the accuracy threshold for fault-tolerant quantum information processing with solid-state devices.

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2011

description: This paper presents a technique for test-driven development of GUI based applications, as well as a pilot evaluation. In our approach, user interface prototypes are created in such a way as to allow capture/replay tools to record interactions with them. These recordings can then be replayed on the actual GUI as it is being developed in a test-driven fashion. The pilot evaluation found that developers integrated GUI tests, based on user interface prototypes,into their development process and used them as a way to determine when a feature is actually complete.Study participants felt that TDD of GUI based applications is useful.
A Literature Review on Story Test Driven Development
Creators: name: Park, Shelly

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2010

description: This paper presents a literature review on story-test driven development. Our findings suggest that there are many lessons learned papers that provide anecdotal evidence about the benefits and issues related to the story test driven development. We categorized these findings into seven themes: cost, time, people, code design, testing tools, what to test and test automation. We analyzed research papers on story test driven development to find out how many of these anecdotal findings were critically examined by researchers and analyzed the gaps in between. The analysis can be used by researchers as a ground for further empirical investigation.

This detector performs a spatially resolving measurement of the phasefront of a heterodyne interferometer, with heterodyne frequencies up to approximately 10 kHz. This instrument was developed as part of the research for the LISA Technology Package (LTP) interferometer, and will assist in the manufacture of its flight model. Due to the advantages this instrument offers, it also has general applications in optical metrology.

Auto-tagging Emails with User Stories Using Project Context
Creators: name: Sohan, S.M.
name: Richter, Michael M.
name: Maurer, Frank
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2010

description: In distributed agile teams, people often use email as a knowledge sharing tool to clarify the project requirements (aka user stories). Knowledge about the project included in these emails is easily lost when recipients leave the project or delete emails for various reasons. However, the knowledge contained in the emails may be needed for useful purposes such as re-engineering software, changing vendor and so on. But, it is difficult to relate texts such as emails to certain topics because the relation is not explicit. In this paper, we present and evaluate a technique for automatically relating emails with user stories based on their text and context similarity. Agile project management tools can use this technique to automatically build a knowledge base that is otherwise costly to produce and maintain.
Relatively Coherent Sets as a Hierarchical Partition Method

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Finite time coherent sets [8] have recently been defined by a measure based objective function describing the degree that sets hold together, along with a Frobenius-Perron transfer operator method to produce optimally coherent sets. Here we present an extension to generalize the concept to hierarchially defined relatively coherent sets based on adjusting the finite time coherent sets to use relative mesure restricted to sets which are developed iteratively and hierarchically in a tree of partitions. Several examples help clarify the meaning and expectation of the techniques, as they are the nonautonomous double gyre, the standard map, an idealized stratospheric flow, and empirical data from the Mexico Gulf during the 2010 oil spill. Also for sake of analysis of computational complexity, we include an appendic concerning the computational complexity of developing the Ulam-Galerkin matrix extimates of the Frobenius-Perron operator centrally used here.

description: Systematic reviews are used to collate and synthesise research about health interventions, and inform decisions by clinicians, consumers, policy makers and researchers. Two critical steps in synthesis were investigated: defining the specific questions addressed in the review, and selecting appropriate synthesis methods to answer those questions. A need to improve reporting of both synthesis questions and synthesis methods in published systematic reviews was found, which is important for reviews to be transparent and useful for decision makers; an understanding of statistical methods when meta-analysis is not possible was gained; and guidance on how to report synthesis questions was developed.

description: We demonstrate a frequency comb spanning an octave via the parametric process of cascaded four-wave mixing in a monolithic, high-Q silicon nitride microring resonator. The comb is generated from a single-frequency pump laser at 1562 nm and spans 128 THz with a spacing of 226 GHz, which can be tuned slightly with the pump power. In addition, we investigate the RF-noise characteristics of the parametric comb and find that the comb can operate in a low-noise state with a 30-dB reduction in noise as the pump frequency is tuned into the cavity resonance.

IID practices also supported managerial decisions that lead to on-time & on-budget delivery.
Identifying the acoustic onset of English semivowels
Creators: name: Joe, Christine Yin-Ling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Today’s hearing aids are sophisticated devices that use complex signal processing to alter the acoustic signal. As digital circuit complexity and power efficiency evolve, even more advanced processing algorithms will be possible and will need to be evaluated. Most existing measures of hearing aid processing involve global acoustic (e.g., Articulation Index) or global behavioural (e.g., Hearing in Noise Test) analyses. Such measures have not been shown sensitive enough to detect local acoustic or behavioural changes to individual speech segments that result from complex processing algorithms. The purpose of this study was to provide information to help in the development of a standardized test that can be used for phoneme by phoneme acoustic analysis and speech recognition for the purpose of evaluating the effects of complex hearing aid processing. Such a test would require clear acoustic boundaries for the onset and offset of each phoneme, which to date, have not been determined for semivowel sounds. Using items from the University of Western Ontario Distinctive Features Differences (UWODFD) test, I evaluated the acoustic boundaries at which the English intervocalic semivowels were just perceived by Canadian English listeners. This study aimed to 1) establish the acoustic onset of semivowel identification within the UWODFD items, and 2) evaluate whether that point could be predicted by magnitude of spectral change, formant pattern, and/or formant transition duration. Eight listeners were presented time-sliced UWODFD test tokens and were asked to identify the sound out of a list of 21. A multivariate regression was performed to determine the amount of variance accounted for by each predictor variable. The acoustic boundary for phoneme recognition was determined for each semivowel, using an operational definition of 75% correct recognition. This study successfully established the acoustic boundary for each semivowel. Different combinations of acoustic variables were needed to predict the recognition of different semivowel sounds, however formant ratios and transition duration consistently stood out to be important. No absolute ratio values or transition durations were found to identify the acoustic onsets, although a reduced range of ratio values was observed to separate perception and non-perception.

description: This memo describes the system used to conduct commensal correlator and beamformer observations at the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). This system was deployed for ~2 years until the ATA hibernation in 2011 and was responsible for collecting >5 TB of data during thousands of hours of observations. The general system design is presented and the implementation is discussed in detail. I emphasize the rationale for various design decisions and attempt to document a few aspects of ATA operations that might not be obvious to non-insiders. I close with some recommendations from my experience developing the software infrastructure and managing the correlator observations. These include: reuse existing systems; solve, don't avoid, tensions between projects, and share infrastructure; plan to make standalone observations to complement the commensal ones; and be considerate of observatory staff when deploying new and unusual observing modes. The structure of the software codebase is documented.

In addition, we show that placing capacitors, resistors, and superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) into a microwave cavity can severely distort the spatial current profile which, in general, should be accounted for in circuit design. The introduction of SQUIDs also allows for in situ tuning of the photonic power transfer which could be utilized in experiments on superconducting quantum bits.

Speech analytics steers today's true Voice of the Consumer
Creators: name: Tadepalli, Sharath
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We are in the midst of a resurgence in terms of the role voice can play in delivery of an optimized customer experience (CX). A lot of the credit for that goes to the capabilities and applications of today's speech analytics, which increasingly show dramatic ROI as a result of the evolution of disrupters like AI, machine learning, neural networks, automation, NLP, text mining, and signal processing. According to Gartner, phone calls are still an important channel for research and purchasing, with 70% of mobile searchers reporting they click-to-call directly from the search results to connect with a business. And recently, BIA/Kelsey estimated that this year consumer-to-business phone calls made from smartphones is a market that will grow to nearly $170 billion. Yet, businesses are not responding in alignment with consumer need. Our own research shows there are multiple factors that contribute to the failure of businesses to optimize analytics—from lack of bandwidth and skills to a resistant culture. In fact, 50% of businesses surveyed by HGS on the topic of analytics "do not have the resources to help deliver what we aim to," while the other half "have different opinions on analytics" and also "do not have the resources to help deliver what we aim to."

Vacuum structure and string tension in Yang-Mills dimeron ensembles

description: We numerically simulate ensembles of SU(2) Yang-Mills dimeron solutions with a statistical weight determined by the classical action and perform a comprehensive analysis of their properties. In particular, we examine the extent to which these ensembles capture topological and confinement properties of the Yang-Mills vacuum. This further allows us to test the classic picture of meron-induced quark confinement as triggered by dimeron dissociation. At small bare couplings, spacial, topological-charge and color correlations among the dimerons generate a short-range order which screens topological charges. With increasing coupling this order weakens rapidly, however, in part because the dimerons gradually dissociate into their meron constituents. Monitoring confinement properties by evaluating Wilson-loop expectation values, we find the growing disorder due to these progressively liberated merons to generate a finite and (with the coupling) increasing string tension. The short-distance behavior of the static quark-antiquark potential, on the other hand, is dominated by small, "instanton-like" dimerons. String tension, action density and topological susceptibility of the dimeron ensembles in the physical coupling region turn out to be of the order of standard values. Hence the above results demonstrate without reliance on weak-coupling or low-density approximations that the dissociating dimeron component in the Yang-Mills vacuum can indeed produce a meron-populated confining phase. The density of coexisting, hardly dissociated and thus instanton-like dimerons seems to remain large enough, on the other hand, to reproduce much of the additional phenomenology successfully accounted for by non-confining instanton vacuum models. Hence dimeron ensembles should provide an efficient basis for a rather complete description of the Yang-Mills vacuum.

The aim of the minimal Gibbs free energy approach to provide a signal estimate is not affected by their Comment. However, if one wants to extend the method to also infer the a posteriori signal uncertainty any tempering of the posterior has to be undone at the end of the calculations, as they correctly point out. Furthermore, a distinction is made here between maximum entropy, the maximum entropy principle, and the so-called maximum entropy method in imaging, hopefully clarifying further the second issue of their Comment paper.

Valuable Visuals: The Power of Digital-Driven Image Analytics
Creators: name: Tadepalli, Sharath
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Images can be found everywhere in today's world, presenting a massive opportunity to capitalize on their untapped value. While nobody can say for sure exactly how many images exist, some estimates suggest that around 3 billion images are shared on the internet every single day, with billions more being produced and stored offline on cell phones, digital cameras, computers, and data centers for both personal and commercial reasons. Each and every image file is comprised of thousands of pixels, equating to a significant amount of data overall. With today's machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, businesses are able to extract immense value from this data by discovering new patterns and hidden information in the pixels. Against this backdrop, the scope of image analytics-driven solutions and go-to-market products is immense. From retail analytics that recognize consumers' emotions to forensic scene reconstruction in law enforcement, the potential is limitless. The medical industry is particularly well-suited to the benefits of image analysis tools. Deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) can assess many thousands, if not millions, of diagnostic images in a very short space of time, building a benchmark database for future patients. When new images are introduced, the technology can quickly recognize patterns and provide doctors with a rapid, accurate hypothesis on the patient's condition. To communicate how image analytics can enhance the value of medical diagnostic imaging, this white paper explores the techniques that businesses can use to introduce analysis technologies into their organization, along with the challenges involved in the process. Readers can expect to learn about the global image analytics market and the potential for market penetration, as well as how HGS Digital is carving its own niche in the segment worldwide.

description: This paper explores the difficulties of finding an appropriate theoretical framework for a doctoral dissertation examining revenue-generating language programs at post-secondary institutions. It briefly examines the history of language programs in higher education in the developed English-speaking world and the current situation of many institutions that now include English as a Second or Additional Language programs for foreign students. The purpose of the existence of such programs is not always clear. Is it to build the capacity of international students so as to diversify the campus by enriching it with a more diverse student body? Or to generate revenue from foreign students desperate to learn English? Or are the reasons more complex? Regardless of the motivation, the existence of such programs at universities in developed countries is widespread. My doctoral dissertation explores how such programs are marketed and administered. One of the challenges of this study has been to find a suitable theoretical framework that allows for the espousal of benevolent educational philosophy (the growth of the individual cognitively, culturally and personally) while entertaining the possibility of socially responsible business practices in higher education. This paper explores some of the issues and tensions of selected theories and their application to this type of study.
Anoxic survival and cardiovascular responses of the pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii
Creators: name: Cox, Georgina Kimberly
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: To determine if anoxic survival in the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii L) is aided by the suppression of metabolic rate, excess post-anoxic oxygen consumption (EPAOC) and key metabolites in the glycolytic pathway were analyzed following anoxic exposures of different durations. As the cardiovascular system reflects the needs of the tissue and thus whole animal metabolic rate, cardiac performance during prolonged anoxia was also examined to gain insight into the anoxic cardiac ATP turnover rate. Hagfish survived 36-h exposure of complete anoxia at 10°C but showed 50% mortality if exposed to anoxia for 48 h. In order to determine if there had been metabolic rate suppression, changes in tissue metabolites were measured during 36 h anoxia exposure and EPAOC was monitored using respirometry. Analysis of EPAOC measurements suggest that hagfish use metabolic rate suppression to enhance anoxia survival during bouts of anoxia greater than 24 h and that metabolic rate was halved during the final third of a 36-h anoxic period. However, analysis of tissue metabolites in the liver, heart, tongue and skeletal muscle showed that glycogen levels were rapidly depleted over the first 6 h, but then stabilized for the duration of the anoxic exposure. Taken together, the results of the respirometry study and metabolic analysis suggest that anoxia survival in E. stoutii is enhanced by metabolic suppression, but that this suppression may occur earlier in the anoxic period than revealed by EPAOC measurements alone. To gain a better understanding of the use of metabolic rate suppression as a means for surviving anoxic exposures, cardiovascular function was examined during a 36-h anoxic exposure. Cardiac output and ventral aortic blood pressure were measured for 36 h of anoxia and through full recovery. Anoxic bradycardia that halved heart rate within 3 h, which then remained stable at 5 bpm for 33 h of anoxia. Cardiac output, however, was reduced by only ~33%, suggesting metabolite, hormone and waste transport remain important during anoxia. Furthermore, cardiac power output remained unchanged during anoxia. Thus, cardiac metabolic rate is not suppressed and its routine cardiac ATP demand is met through glycolysis and circulating blood glucose.

description: We study the detailed growth of a social networking site with full temporal information by examining the creation process of each friendship relation that can collectively lead to the macroscopic properties of the network. We first study the reciprocal behavior of users, and find that link requests are quickly responded to and that the distribution of reciprocation intervals decays in an exponential form. The degrees of inviters/accepters are slightly negatively correlative with reciprocation time. In addition, the temporal feature of the online community shows that the distributions of intervals of user behaviors, such as sending or accepting link requests, follow a power law with a universal exponent, and peaks emerge for intervals of an integral day. We finally study the preferential selection and linking phenomena of the social networking site and find that, for the former, a linear preference holds for preferential sending and reception, and for the latter, a linear preference also holds for preferential acceptance, creation, and attachment. Based on the linearly preferential linking, we put forward an analyzable network model which can reproduce the degree distribution of the network. The research framework presented in the paper could provide a potential insight into how the micro-motives of users lead to the global structure of online social networks.

description: We have spectroscopically identified about 100 G-, K- and M-type members of the Scorpius Centaurus complex. To deduce the age of these young stars we compare their Li $λ$6708 absorption line strengths against those of stars in the TW Hydrae association and $β$ Pictoris moving group. These line strengths indicate that Sco-Cen stars are younger than $β$ Pic stars whose ages of ~12 Myr have previously been derived from a kinematic traceback analysis. Our derived age,~10Myr, for stars in the LCC and UCL subgroups of ScoCen is younger than previously published ages based on the moving cluster method and upper main sequence fitting. The discrepant ages are likely due to an incorrect (or lack of) cross-calibration between model-dependent and model-independent age-dating methods.

description: We present radially resolved spectroscopy of 8 early-type galaxies in Abell~262, measuring rotation, velocity dispersion, $H_3$ and $H_4$ coefficients along three axes, and line-strength index profiles of Mg, Fe and H$β$. Ionized-gas velocity and velocity dispersion is included for 6 galaxies. We derive dynamical mass-to-light ratios and dark matter densities from orbit-based dynamical models, complemented by the galaxies' ages, metallicities, and $α$-elements abundances. Four galaxies have significant dark matter with halos about 10 times denser than in spirals of the same stellar mass. Using dark matter densities and cosmological simulations, assembly redshifts $\zdm\approx 1-3$, which we found earlier for Coma. The dynamical mass following the light is larger than expected for a Kroupa stellar IMF, especially in galaxies with high velocity dispersion $\sigeff$ inside the effective radius $\reff$. This could indicate a `massive' IMF in massive galaxies. Alternatively, some dark matter in massive galaxies could follow the light closely. Combining with our comparison sample of Coma early-types, we now have 5 of 24 galaxies where (1) mass follows light to $1-3\,\reff$, (2) the dynamical mass-to-light ratio {of all the mass that follows the light is large ($\approx\,8-10$ in the Kron-Cousins $R$ band), (3) the dark matter fraction is negligible to $1-3\,\reff$. Unless the IMF in these galaxies is particularly `massive' and somehow coupled to the dark matter content, there seems a significant degeneracy between luminous and dark matter in some early-type galaxies. The role of violent relaxation is briefly discussed.

description: Discussion of scholar papers published until June 28, 2020, on Ivermectin, and of news that we can find about its use for Covid-19. A list of clinical trials is also given. For what concerns scholar papers, we report among them a preprint posted on 10 June in MedRχiv, which concludes that Ivermectin was associated with lower mortality during treatment of Covid-19. From news, we consider in particular the case of Iquitos, capital city of the Loreto Region in Peru, where, by May 25, Covid-19 cases and deaths had dropped notably.

This analysis of publications and news about ivermectin is made in the framework of a wider investigation about information concerning drugs used for Covid-19.
Reduction of the glacier in the Andes

description: The Apolobamba mountain range, situated in the Andes, is experiencing significant climatic changes that are impacting its glaciers and ecosystems. Rising temperatures have led to accelerated melting of the glaciers, which are crucial for maintaining local water supplies and supporting biodiversity in the region. This reduction in ice cover not only threatens the delicate balance of the alpine ecosystem but also poses challenges for the indigenous communities that rely on glacial meltwater for agriculture and drinking water. As glaciers shrink, the risk of glacial lake outburst floods increases, presenting further hazards to local populations. Additionally, the loss of ice affects regional weather patterns, potentially altering precipitation levels and increasing the frequency of extreme weather events. Addressing these climatic changes is vital for preserving the unique environment of the Apolobamba range and ensuring the sustainability of the communities that inhabit it.

description: In response to the global mobility of populations, there have been growing international interests in mathematics learning and teaching in linguistically and ethnically diverse classrooms. In order to better support mathematics learning at school for non-dominant students, I examined informal mathematical knowledge they accessed at home. Focusing on Filipino immigrant mothers and their children in Japanese schools, this paper highlights how these mothers’ informal mathematics knowledge attached to everyday practices can influence their children’s development of mathematical literacy at school.

description: Η αρχιτεκτονική αποτελεί την εκδήλωση της ανθρώπινης κοινωνικής ιδιοσυγκρασίας, η οποία πραγματοποιείται σε μια συγκεκριμένη τοποθεσία. Η σημασία του τόπου, επηρεάζει σημαντικά την οικοδόμηση, αφού η έκφραση της κουλτούρας σε διαφορετικά μέρη είναι σε άμεση συνάρτηση αφενός με το κλίμα, τη θερμοκρασία και τη δομή του τόπου, και αφετέρου με τους διαθέσιμους πόρους που παρέχει η ίδια η φύση, προκειμένου ο άνθρωπος να επιβιώσει, και κατ’ επέκταση να οικοδομήσει. Το φαινομενικά αφιλόξενο κλίμα και η προκλητική τοπογραφία της Σκανδιναβίας συντέλεσαν καταλυτικά στην ανάπτυξη μιας
ανάγκης για άμεση και προσωπική επαφή με το περιβάλλον, που ορίζεται από την βαθιά συνειδητοποίηση ότι ο ίδιος ο άνθρωπος, αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο μέρος της φύσης.
  Προς το τέλος του 19ου και τις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα, προκύπτει στη Σκανδιναβία η ανάπτυξη μιας εθνικά προσανατολισμένης ευαισθησίας που βρήκε την έκφραση του στο κίνημα του εθνικού ρομαντισμού, εν μέρει απορρίπτοντας την όποια ιστορική αναβίωση και ταυτόχρονα ως μια αντίδραση κατά της αυξανόμενης εκβιομηχάνισης σε συνδυασμό με μια επιθυμία για επιστροφή σε μια καθαρότερη, απλούστερη προβιομηχανική ζωή. Αυτό ακριβώς θα είναι και το εναρκτήριο σημείο στην ιστορία της Σκανδιναβικής αρχιτεκτονικής, μέσα από το οποίο θα εξεταστούν τα ίχνη εκείνα που θα μπορούσαν να υπονοήσουν την εμφάνιση της έννοιας που αργότερα ονομάστηκε κριτικός τοπικισμός, αλλά και οι
κοινωνικοπολιτικοί παράγοντες που συντέλεσαν προς την κατεύθυνση αυτή.
Efficient Instance Retrieval of Subgoals for Subsumptive Tabled Evaluation of Logic Programs

description: Tabled evaluation is an implementation technique that solves some problems of traditional Prolog systems in dealing with recursion and redundant computations. Most tabling engines determine if a tabled subgoal will produce or consume answers by using variant checks. A more refined method, named call subsumption, considers that a subgoal A will consume from a subgoal B if A is subsumed by (an instance of) B, thus allowing greater answer reuse. We recently developed an extension, called Retroactive Call Subsumption, that improves upon call subsumption by supporting bidirectional sharing of answers between subsumed/subsuming subgoals. In this paper, we present both an algorithm and an extension to the table space data structures to efficiently implement instance retrieval of subgoals for subsumptive tabled evaluation of logic programs. Experiments results using the YapTab tabling system show that our implementation performs quite well on some complex benchmarks and is robust enough to handle a large number of subgoals without performance degradation.

description: Current strategies for primary data management towards effective data publication, retrieval, sharing and citation require enhanced platforms. One driving
			force is the recent developments in biotechnology. It is attended by a strong growth of scientific primary data. For example, “Next-Generation-Sequencing” or “Plant-Phenotyping” technologies
			produce a huge amount of primary data. Its analysis and publication is one pillar in modern life science research. Consequently, the responsible use and efficient availability of digital resources
			is an important factor in the nowadays “e-science” age. The JAVA-based e!DAL-API is a comprehensive storage backend for primary data management. It provides main features for the long-term
			preservation of scientific primary data and has been designed and tested using experiences from several research projects and literature studies.

description: Stellar radiation has conservatively been used as the key constraint to planetary habitability. We review here the effects of tides, exerted by the host star on the planet, on the evolution of the planetary spin. Tides initially drive the rotation period and the orientation of the rotation axis into an equilibrium state but do not necessarily lead to synchronous rotation. As tides also circularize the orbit, eventually the rotation period does equal the orbital period and one hemisphere will be permanently irradiated by the star. Furthermore, the rotational axis will become perpendicular to the orbit, i.e. the planetary surface will not experience seasonal variations of the insolation. We illustrate here how tides alter the spins of planets in the traditional habitable zone. As an example, we show that, neglecting perturbations due to other companions, the Super-Earth Gl581d performs two rotations per orbit and that any primordial obliquity has been eroded.
