description: Il contributo parte da Foucault, che cerca di comprendere come siamo governati nella modernità, in cui la logica del potere statale si lega a un regime di verità, necessario per rendere la popolazione più ‘governabile’. La questione verte su come e fino a che livello le strategie, messe in atto per debellare il virus e impedirne una ancora più forte e rapida diffusione, comportino il controllo sulla vita dei singoli cittadini. Si assume un approccio critico in cui si mette in evidenza la contrapposizione, attuata da diversi governi nazionali, tra la salvaguardia della «nuda vita» e il valore delle libertà fondamentali. Si paventa la costituzione di un nuovo paradigma di potere, la safetycracy, in cui per la protezione della vita convergono foucaultianamente l’uso strumentale della biomedicina e delle tecnologie informatiche, mettendo in secondo piano il resto dei diritti fondamentali. The contribution starts from Foucault, who tries to understand how we are governed in modernity, in which the logic of state power is linked to a regime of truth, necessary to make the population more 'governable'. The question concerns how and to what extent the strategies, put in place to eradicate the virus and prevent its even stronger and more rapid spread, involve controlling the lives of individual citizens. A critical approach is taken which highlights the contrast, implemented by various national governments, between the safeguarding of "bare life" and the value of fundamental freedoms. There is fear of the establishment of a new paradigm of power, the safetycracy, in which the instrumental use of biomedicine and information technology converge for the protection of life, putting the rest of fundamental rights in the background.

 Lectotype (designated here):— ARGENTINA. Buenos Aires, La Plata, 10 Nov. 1923. Spegazzini s.n (LP002801!; isolectotype, K000534957!).
 Notes:—Spegazzini did not cite any collection in the protologue of Notiosciadium pampicola, but he mentioned different localities and collection dates (“in uliginosis pampeanis, Bañado de Flores, prope Buenos Aires, aug. 1880, in Rufino, jan. 1902 […] A principios de este mes en los alrededores de La Plata con el ingeniero y conocido agrostólogo don Lorenzo R. Parodi”). His description was therefore based on several syntypes. We have analized the following original material BAA00001137, K000534957, and LP002810. The latter was selected as lectotype because it is housed at the herbarium where the author of the name used to work (LP), and because it has pencil illustrations drawn by Spegazzini that match the figure of the original publication (op. cit. p. 85).

description: Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) is an essential enzyme for vitamin K-dependent carboxylation, while the physiological function of its paralogous enzyme VKOR-like (VKORL) is yet unknown. Although these two enzymes share approximately 50% protein sequence homology, the membrane topology of VKOR is still in debate. Here, we explored the differences in the membrane topology and disulfide-linked oligomerization of these two enzymes. Results from mutating the critical amino acid residues in the disputed transmembrane (TM) regions revealed that the second TM domain in the proposed 4-TM model of VKOR does not function as an authentic TM helix; supporting VKOR is a 3-TM protein, which is different from VKORL. Additionally, altering the loop sequence between the two conserved cysteine residues of VKORL affects its activity, supporting the notion that the conserved loop cysteines of VKORL are involved in its active site regeneration. However, a similar mutation in VKOR does not affect its enzymatic activity. Finally, our results show that although both VKOR and VKORL form disulfide-linked oligomers, the cysteine residues involved in the oligomerization appear to be different. Overall, the structural and functional differences between VKOR and VKORL shown here indicate that VKORL might have a different physiological function other than recycling vitamin K.

Rowing exercise

description: Arterial stiffness is an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that regular endurance training decreases central arterial stiffness, whereas resistance training increases central arterial stiffness. Rowing exercise is an intriguing model of exercise because it combines both endurance and resistance training; however, it is unknown what effect rowing exercise has on the elastic properties of the arteries. We used a cross-sectional design to determine the effect of regular rowing on arterial stiffness. Fifteen healthy, habitual rowers (50±3 yr, 11 males, 4 females) and fifteen sedentary controls (52±2 yr, 10 males, 5 females) were studied. Rowers had been rowing an average of 5±1 yr and training 5.4±0.3 days per week. Subjects were matched for age, body composition, and metabolic risk factors. Central arterial stiffness (using simultaneous B-mode ultrasound and applanation tonometery of the carotid artery), peripheral arterial stiffness (B-mode ultrasound of the femoral artery), brachial blood pressures, and heart rate were measured during supine rest. Central arterial compliance was significantly higher (p<0.001), whereas ß-stiffness index (p<0.001) and Peterson’s elastic modulus (p<0.01) of the carotid artery was significantly lower in rowers compared with sedentary controls. These results were independent of differences in carotid pulse pressure. There were no group differences for measurements of peripheral arterial stiffness. In conclusion, regular rowing exercise in middle-aged and older adults is associated with positive effect on the elastic properties of the central arteries. This suggests that the combination of endurance and resistance training is associated with favorable cardiovascular adaptations

 Lectotype (designated here):— CHILE. In sylvis umbrosis prope Tagua Tagua, C. L. G. Bertero 446 (G00664656!; isolectotypes GH00077315!, P00758097!, P00758099!, P00758100!).
 Notes:— In the protologue of Osmorhiza berteroi, Candolle (1830) cited a collection from Tagua-Tagua, Chile (“in sylvis umbrosis prope Tagua Tagua”) by Bertero, but did not indicate a collection number. We have found five herbarium sheets that coincide with the protologue. The labels from P00758099 and P00758100 do not perfectly match the indication of the original locality as “in sylvis umbrosis prope” is missing, however, the other three specimens (G00664656, GH00077315, P00758097) do have the complete locality information. From these, P00758097 is mounted on the same sheet with Bertero 1160 from a different locality (P00758098), which may cause confusion; specimens G00664656 and GH00077315 are both complete and well preserved, but the one at G was part of De Candolle´s herbarium. Therefore, we designate G00664656 as the lectotype. It is worth noting that there are other specimens collected by Bertero with the same number as the lectotype designated herein (446), but these are not part of the original material of O. berteroi because they differ in the locality data (G00367087, M0172503).

description: We use intense terahertz pulses to excite the resonant mode (0.6 THz) of a micro-fabricated dipole antenna with a vacuum gap. The dipole antenna structure enhances the peak amplitude of the in-gap THz electric field by a factor of ~170. Above an in-gap E-field threshold amplitude of ~10 MVcm-1, THz-induced field electron emission is observed (TIFEE) as indicated by the field-induced electric current across the dipole antenna gap. Field emission occurs within a fraction of the driving THz period. Our analysis of the current (I) and incident electric field (E) is in agreement with a Millikan-Lauritsen analysis where log (I) exhibits a linear dependence on 1/E. Numerical estimates indicate that the electrons are accelerated to a value of approximately one tenth of the speed of light.

description: Il periodo dell’emergenza sanitaria causata dal Covid-19 è stato caratterizzato in ambito comunicativo dalla proliferazione di fenomeni di Fake News diffusi principalmente attraverso i nuovi media. L’obiettivo dell’articolo è analizzare la misinformazione e la disinformazione in relazione al contesto emergenziale sociosanitario contemporaneo, nel tentativo di cogliere le caratteristiche e le funzioni delle fake news. Particolare attenzione verrà posta al ruolo che ricopre l’informazione errata nei contesti emergenziali causati da epidemie (Covid19 e Zika Virus) e gli obiettivi specifici che i propagatori di fake news mirano a raggiugere attraverso i nuovi media. A questo riguardo, sono il cyber-space, internet e i social media che vengono qui analizzati in funzione del ruolo che ricoprono nella creazione e diffusione di informazione e disinformazione. La teoria sociologica della dipendenza sviluppata a metà degli anni Settanta da Sandra J. Ball-Rokeach e Melvil DeFleur viene qui utilizzata per interpretare gli effetti sociali della disinformazione attraverso i media e permette quindi di spiegare il rapporto tra soggetto e media nei termini del soddisfacimento di bisogni informativi. The period of the health emergency caused by Covid-19 was characterized by the proliferation of Fake News phenomena spread mainly through new media. The purpose of the article is to analyse misinformation and disinformation related to the contemporary sociosanitary emergency context to grasp the characteristics and functions of fake news. Particular attention will be given to the role misinformation plays in emergency contexts caused by epidemics (Covid19 and Zika Virus) and the specific goals that fake news propagators aim to achieve through new media. In this regard, it is cyber space, the Internet and social media that are analysed here according to their role in the creation and dissemination of information and disinformation. The sociological theory of dependence developed in the mid-1970s by Sandra J. Ball-Rokeach and Melvil DeFleur is used here to interpret the social effects of disinformation through the media and thus allows the relationship between subject and media to be explained in terms of the satisfaction of information needs.

description: Sin dai primi giorni della pandemia il sistema dei media ha contribuito in modo determinante a modellare le nostre percezioni, interpretazioni e reazioni alla nuova realtà. La narrazione della pandemia ha seguito le logiche mediali, ma al tempo stesso ha subito l’impatto dell’emergenza, dovendo adattare le forme e i contenuti delle sue rappresentazioni. Anche la narrazione del potere politico è stata condizionata dalla pandemia. Le elezioni amministrative e regionali del 20 e 21 settembre 2020 sono state le prime prove elettorali per la politica italiana, nell’era del Covid-19. Il contributo analizza la campagna elettorale per le elezioni regionali in Puglia nel 2020, al fine di rilevare come l’emergenza Coronavirus abbia dato forma alla comunicazione politica. L’articolo si concentra su alcuni programmi televisivi di informazione e approfondimento e sulla comunicazione social (Facebook) dei principali candidati alla presidenza della Regione. Since the first days of the pandemic, the media system has contributed significantly to shaping our perceptions, interpretations and reactions to the new reality. The narrative of the pandemic followed the media logic, but at the same time suffered the impact of the emergency, having to adapt the forms and contents of the representations. The representation of political power has also been conditioned by the pandemic. The local and regional elections of 20 and 21 September 2020 were the first electoral tests for Italian politics, in the Covid-19-era. The paper analyzes the election campaign for the regional elections in Puglia in 2020, in order to detect how the Coronavirus emergency shaped political communication. The article focuses on the some informative and analysis TV programmes and on social communication (Facebook) of the main candidates for the presidency of the Region.

description: Riconducibile all’alveo di altri concetti a essa attigui – come quelli di storia e memoria – la nostalgia è un fenomeno che pervade tanto il dibattito politico, quanto la produzione culturale a noi coevi. In tal senso, i processi di globalizzazione in corso hanno contribuito a questo prepotente ritorno del passato nella nostra contemporaneità. Il presente contributo si propone di offrire alcuni elementi di interpretazione della nostalgia da un punto di vista politologico. A tal fine, verrà analizzata la relazione che sussiste tra il concetto di nostalgia e quello di memoria collettiva ovvero nazionale. La tesi sviluppata nel saggio insiste sulla natura spaziale di tali concetti: se, da un lato, la nostalgia implica necessariamente il sentimento di un desiderio per un altrove ormai perduto, il passato trova una delle sue più efficaci forme di comunicazione nell’elemento spaziale. Per tali ragioni, il saggio si concentra sulla natura geografico-spaziale del passato e sulle diverse forme in cui esso si manifesta attraverso lo spazio urbano, con un breve riferimento al caso russo. Ascribable to other related concepts - such as those of history and memory - nostalgia is a phenomenon that pervades both political debate and the cultural production of our time. In this sense, the ongoing processes of globalisation have contributed to this overbearing return of the past in our contemporary world. The aim of this contribution is to offer some elements for interpreting nostalgia from a political point of view. To this end, the relationship between the concept of nostalgia and that of collective or national memory will be analysed. The thesis developed in the essay insists on the spatial nature of these concepts: while nostalgia necessarily implies a feeling of longing for a lost elsewhere, the past finds one of its most effective forms of communication in the spatial element. For these reasons, the essay focuses on the geographical-spatial nature of the past and the different forms in which it manifests itself through urban space, with a brief reference to the Russian case.

description: Light can be used as a probe to explore the structure of space-time: this is usual in astrophysical and cosmological tests, however it has been recently suggested that this can be done also in terrestrial laboratories. Namely, the GINGER project aims at measuring post-Newtonian effects, such as the gravito-magnetic ones, in an Earth based laboratory, by means of a ring lasers array. Here, we first review the theoretical foundations of the Sagnac Effect, on which ring lasers are based, and then we study the Sagnac Effect in a terrestrial laboratory, emphasizing the origin of the gravitational contributions that GINGER aims at measuring. Moreover, we show that accurate measurements allow to set constraints on theories of gravity different from General Relativity. Eventually, we describe the experimental setup of GINGER.

description: Partendo dalla concezione di Kantorowicz sul doppio corpo del re, il saggio indaga la traduzione figurativa del potere e la sua legittimazione agli albori dell’età moderna, quando emerge nelle rappresentazioni del potere la necessità di raffigurare la continuità politica attraverso i ritratti dei sovrani. Lo studio prende in analisi le raffigurazioni presenti su alcune medaglie e figure di protagonisti della dinastia asburgica. Le 19 raffigurazioni analizzate sono raggruppate secondo una classificazione in sei categorie: 1) Gruppi familiari/storici; 2) Rappresentazioni di Massimiliano I e Carlo V; 3) raffigurazioni di Massimiliano I, Carlo V, Ferdinando I;4) rappresentazioni di Carlo Quinto e Ferdinando I; 5) rappresentazioni di Carlo Quinto, Filippo Secondo; 6) rappresentazioni di Carlo Quinto, Filippo II e Gesù Cristo. Starting from Kantorowicz's conception of the double body of the king, the essay investigates the figurative translation of power and its legitimisation at the dawn of the modern age, when the need to depict political continuity through portraits of sovereigns emerged in representations of power. The study analyses the depictions on some medals and illustrations of leading figures of the Habsburg dynasty. The 19 depictions analysed are grouped according to a classification into six categories: 1) family/historical groups; 2) depictions of Maximilian I and Charles V; 3) depictions of Maximilian I, Charles V, Ferdinand I; 4) depictions of Charles the Fifth and Ferdinand the First; 5) depictions of Charles the Fifth, Philip the Second; 6) depictions of Charles the Fifth, Philip the Second and Jesus Christ.

Tests of the extraction of the Sivers, Boer-Mulders and transversity distributions in SIDIS reactions

description: A major experimental program is presently underway worldwide to determine the fundamental non-perturbative functions, the Sivers, Boer-Mulders and transversity distributions, which are vital for an understanding of the internal structure of the nucleon. However, at present, many simplifying assumptions are used in extracting these functions from the data. We demonstrate that if the binning of the data in Q^2 is small enough so that Q^2-evolution can be neglected inside a bin, then one can obtain stringent tests of these assumptions. Failure to satisfy these tests implies that the presently extracted non-perturbative functions are unreliable. To this end we consider the measurement of the Sivers, Boer-Mulders and transversity difference asymmetries for hadrons with opposite charges in SIDIS reactions with unpolarized and transversely polarized deuteron and proton targets: l+N\to l'+h+X, h=π^\pm ,K^\pm ,h^\pm. Utilizing only charge and isospin invariance, and applying the above mentioned simplifying assumptions we obtain several testable relations amongst the measured asymmetries. If these tests are satisfied then the measured asymmetries determine two different combinations of the valence-quark transverse momentum dependent distributions, which can be determined separately without any contributions from the strange and other sea-quarks.

We explore how good the charge density of a Klein-Gordon wavepacket can be approximated by a Gaussian state with the single-particle interpretation. We find that the minimal initial width of a wavepacket for a good Gaussian approximation in position space is about the Compton wavelength of the particle divided by its Lorentz factor at the initial moment. Relativistic length contraction also manifests in the spreading of the wavepacket's charge density.

description: We present constraints on cosmological parameters using maps from the last Planck data release (PR4). In particular, we detail an upgraded version of the cosmic microwave background likelihood, HiLLiPoP, based on angular power spectra and relying on a physical modelling of the foreground residuals in the spectral domain. This new version of the likelihood retains a larger sky fraction (up to 75%) and uses an extended multipole range. Using this likelihood, along with low-l measurements from LoLLiPoP, we derive constraints on $Λ$CDM parameters that are in good agreement with previous Planck 2018 results, but with 10% to 20% smaller uncertainties. We demonstrate that the foregrounds can be accurately described in spectra domain with only negligible impact on $Λ$CDM parameters. We also derive constraints on single-parameter extensions to $Λ$CDM including $A_L$, $Ω_K$, $N_{eff}$, and $\sum m_ν$. Noteworthy results from this updated analysis include a lensing amplitude value of $A_L = 1.039 \pm 0.052$, which aligns more closely with theoretical expectations within the $Λ$CDM framework. Additionally, our curvature measurement, $Ω_K = -0.012 \pm 0.010$, now demonstrates complete consistency with a flat universe, and our measurement of $S_8$ is closer to the measurements derived from large-scale structure surveys (at the 1.6$σ$ level). We also add constraints from PR4 lensing, making the combination the most constraining data set that is currently available from Planck. Additionally we explore adding baryon acoustic oscillation data, which tightens limits on some particular extensions to the standard cosmology.

Subjects: climate change, thermal comfort, Net-zero

description: This study aims to understand that the houses designed today will be comfortable to live in in the next 100 years and proposes appropriate passive strategies that will be suitable for residential buildings in Delhi, India. To achieve the aim the present and future climate of the region is analyzed using the climate data provided by IPCC. The IPCC medium to high emission scenario is considered for the study. A residential building in Delhi is modeled in DesignBuilder software and the internal conditions are recorded for the building for the present climate, 2050, and 2080. The results show that mechanical cooling will be required for the majority of the time by 2080. Without cooling the building will not be comfortable to live in even with recommended strategies. The study also proposes renewable systems suitable for Delhi which can help in achieving net-zero.

We first introduce a relativistic product and corresponding orthogonality relation between modes, extending a recent result for gravitational perturbations. We then derive the analog of time-dependent perturbation theory in quantum mechanics, and apply it to calculate self-gravitational frequency shifts. This approach supersedes the non-relativistic "gravitational atom" approximation, brings close agreement with numerical relativity, and has practical applications for gravitational-wave astronomy.

 Notes:—In the protologue of Osmorhiza mexicana, Grisebach (1879) cites three different gatherings, one from Mexico (Schaffner), one from Bolivia (Mandon 594) and one from Tucumán, Argentina (likely Lorentz & Hieronymus 668). We have found original material at GOET, with annotations from Grisebach from all three syntypes (GOET011385, GOET011386, GOET011387, respectively) plus duplicates at different herbaria (P00834484, P00834485; K000534954, K000534955, P00834486, P00834487, P00834488; CORD00006020). Lowry & Jones (1984) considered the specimen GOET011385 as the holotype, because it was annotated with the statement “mine” (“m”(ihi)) in Grisebach´s handwriting. Their treatment of the specimen as “ holotype ” is correctable to lectotype under Art. 9.9 (McNeill et al. 2012).

description: We discuss the role of Minkowski 3-forms in flux string vacua. In these vacua all internal closed string fluxes are in one to one correspondence with quantized Minkowski 4-forms. By performing a dimensional reduction of the $D=10$ Type II supergravity actions we find that the 4-forms act as auxiliary fields of the Kahler and complex structure moduli in the effective action. We show that all the RR and NS axion dependence of the flux scalar potential appears through the said 4-forms. Gauge invariance of these forms then severely restricts the structure of the axion scalar potentials. Combined with duality symmetries it suggests that all perturbative corrections to the leading axion scalar potential $V_0$ should appear as an expansion in powers of $V_0$ itself. These facts could have an important effect e.g. on the inflaton models based on F-term axion monodromy. We also suggest that the involved multi-branched structure of string vacua provides for a new way to maintain interacting scalar masses stable against perturbative corrections.

Adaptive Automated Machine Learning

description: The ever-growing demand for machine learning has led to the development of automated machine learning (AutoML) systems that can be used off the shelf by non-experts. Further, the demand for ML applications with high predictive performance exceeds the number of machine learning experts and makes the development of AutoML systems necessary. Automated Machine Learning tackles the problem of finding machine learning models with high predictive performance. Existing approaches incorporating deep learning techniques assume that all data is available at the beginning of the training process (offline learning). They configure and optimise a pipeline of preprocessing, feature engineering, and model selection by choosing suitable hyperparameters in each model pipeline step. Furthermore, they assume that the user is fully aware of the choice and, thus, the consequences of the underlying metric (such as precision, recall, or F1-measure). By variation of this metric, the search for suitable configurations and thus the adaptation of algorithms can be tailored to the user’s needs. With the creation of a vast amount of data from all kinds of sources every day, our capability to process and understand these data sets in a single batch is no longer viable. By training machine learning models incrementally (i.ex. online learning), the flood of data can be processed sequentially within data streams. However, if one assumes an online learning scenario, where an AutoML instance executes on evolving data streams, the question of the best model and its configuration remains open. In this work, we address the adaptation of AutoML in an offline learning scenario toward a certain utility an end-user might pursue as well as the adaptation of AutoML towards evolving data streams in an online learning scenario with three main contributions: 1. We propose a System that allows the adaptation of AutoML and the search for neural architectures towards a particular utility an end-user might pursue. 2. We introduce an online deep learning framework that fosters the research of deep learning models under the online learning assumption and enables the automated search for neural architectures. 3. We introduce an online AutoML framework that allows the incremental adaptation of ML models. We evaluate the contributions individually, in accordance with predefined requirements and to state-of-the- art evaluation setups. The outcomes lead us to conclude that (i) AutoML, as well as systems for neural architecture search, can be steered towards individual utilities by learning a designated ranking model from pairwise preferences and using the latter as the target function for the offline learning scenario; (ii) architectual small neural networks are in general suitable assuming an online learning scenario; (iii) the configuration of machine learning pipelines can be automatically be adapted to ever-evolving data streams and lead to better performances.
Epidemiological modelling of the 2005 French riots: a spreading wave and the role of contagion

description: As a large-scale instance of dramatic collective behaviour, the 2005 French riots started in a poor suburb of Paris, then spread in all of France, lasting about three weeks. Remarkably, although there were no displacements of rioters, the riot activity did travel. Access to daily national police data has allowed us to explore the dynamics of riot propagation. Here we show that an epidemic-like model, with just a few parameters and a single sociological variable characterizing neighbourhood deprivation, accounts quantitatively for the full spatio-temporal dynamics of the riots. This is the first time that such data-driven modelling involving contagion both within and between cities (through geographic proximity or media) at the scale of a country, and on a daily basis, is performed. Moreover, we give a precise mathematical characterization to the expression “wave of riots”, and provide a visualization of the propagation around Paris, exhibiting the wave in a way not described before. The remarkable agreement between model and data demonstrates that geographic proximity played a major role in the propagation, even though information was readily available everywhere through media. Finally, we argue that our approach gives a general framework for the modelling of the dynamics of spontaneous collective uprisings.

description: Ligustrum miovulgare Doweld, sp. nov.
 – Ligustrum vulgare var. fossilis Palibin ex Baikovskaja (in Kryshtofovich & Baikovskaja 1965: 122, pl. 38, fig. 1, 2, 6; pl. 36), nom. inval. (ICN, Art. 40.1).
 – Ligustrum vulgare f. fossilis Palibin (1952: 518), nom. nud.
Description:—Leaves petiolate (0.6–0.8 cm), lanceolate to widely lanceolate, with wedge-shaped, sometimes elongate basis and gradually attenuate to acicular apex. Midvein thick, slightly thinned apically. Secondary veinlets diverging from midvein at 45–50°, thin, slightly curved, mainly alternate, jointing to form loops near leaf margin, sometimes preliminarily forked.
Type:—[fossil leaves] Krynka river, right tributary of Mius river, Matveev-Kurgan district, Rostov region, Russian Federation (holotype, 1063/982, Komarov Botanical Institute, RussianAcademy of Sciences,St.- Petersburg, Russian Federation)—figured by Kryshtofovich & Baikovskaja 1965: pl. 38, figs. 10, 10a.
Occurrence:—Middle Miocene (Serravalian = Upper Badenian); Europe.
 Eponymy:—From Miocene, a geological epoch and Ligustrum vulgare Linnaeus (1753: 7).
IFPNI: E7C0856B-0953-DD9A-02F5-CD2FAFC1F789.
 Note:—Baikovskaja (1965: 122) attempted to validate at the rank of a fossil-variety previously proposed fossil-form of Ligustrum vulgare f. fossilis Palibin (1952), nom. nud., which was never formally described from Akchagylian sediments of Eastern Transcaucasia (Shvindgeli range, Southern Kakhetia). However, she did not validate the infraspecific fossil-taxon due to the lack of type designation (ICN, Art. 40.1), being based on several leaf imprints (Coll. 982: 996–1005). The main difference between extant species L. vulgare and fossil L. miovulgare is in leaf venation (Baikovskaja 1965).

description: We show that extreme Myers-Perry initial data realize the unique absolute minimum of the total mass in a physically relevant (Brill) class of maximal, asymptotically flat, bi-axisymmetric initial data for the Einstein equations with fixed angular momenta. As a consequence, we prove the relevant mass-angular momentum inequality in this setting for 5-dimensional spacetimes. That is, all data in this class satisfy the inequality $m^3\geq \frac{27π}{32}\left(|\mathcal{J}_1|+|\mathcal{J}_2|\right)^2$, where $m$ and $\mathcal{J}_i$, $i=1,2$ are the total mass and angular momenta of the spacetime. Moreover, equality holds if and only if the initial data set is isometric to the canonical slice of an extreme Myers-Perry black hole.

Rotation of a liquid crystal by the Casimir torque

description: We present a calculation of the Casimir torque acting on a liquid crystal near a birefringent crystal. In this system, a liquid crystal bulk is uniformly aligned at one surface and is twisted at the other surface by a birefringent crystal, e.g. barium titanate. The liquid crystal is separated from the solid crystal by an isotropic, transparent material such as SiO$_2$. By varying the thickness of the deposited layer, we can observe the effect of retardation on the torque (which differentiates it from the close-range van der Waals torque). We find that a barium titanate slab would cause 5CB (4-cyano-4$'$-pentylbiphenyl) liquid crystal to rotate by 10$^\circ$ through its bulk when separated by 35 nm of SiO$_2$. The optical technique for measuring this twist is also outlined.
