Phenotypic responses of zooplankton to variable conditions

Organisms are continually challenged by multiple threats in the environment, and such threats are seldom constant in either time or space. Therefore, organisms must maintain physiological, behavioural, morphological and life- history adaptations across environments to prevent reductions in fitness. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly variable environments, and so organisms inhabiting lakes and

Carpere Fide(s) : Bertrand Chavarría-Aldrete

Acclaimed guitarist and artistic director of SMASH ensemble, Bertrand Chavarría-Aldrete, came up with the idea of starting an “archive” – at once a series of albums and a physical collection of repertoire – encompassing contemporary Spanish guitar music, simply because there wasn’t one. Born in Lyon, France, Bertrand has been resident in Spain for more than a decade, and believes fervently in the

Sempre morbida : Plastic Extension of Étude 1 by Heitor Villa-Lobos

Sempre morbida is a clay study installation and Plastic extension of Étude I by Heitor Villa-Lobos. The fingers are represented in a tablature for the left hand, a visual map of the iconic piece by the Brazilian composer.The piece was made during the Artistic Residency at Civitella Ranieri Foundation in Italy.

Time-of-flight photoelectron momentum microscopy with 80-500 MHz photon sources : Electron-optical pulse picker or bandpass pre-filter

The small time gaps of synchrotron radiation in conventional multi-bunch mode (100-500 MHz) or laser-based sources with high pulse rate (∼80 MHz) are prohibitive for time-of-flight (ToF) based photoelectron spectroscopy. Detectors with time resolution in the 100 ps range yield only 20-100 resolved time slices within the small time gap. Here we present two techniques of implementing efficient ToF r

Self-Calibrating Superconducting Pair-Breaking Detector

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a self-calibrating detector of Cooper pair depairing in a superconductor based on a mesoscopic superconducting island coupled to normal metal leads. On average, exactly one electron passes through the device per broken Cooper pair, independent of the absorber volume, device, or material parameters. The device operation is explained by a simple analytical m

Risks in the visual environment such as glare, illuminance, and luminance ratio - risk assessments made with visual ergonomics risk assessment method - VERAM - a descriptive paper

The visual environment has an impact on subjective strain and headaches. A visual ergonomics risk assessment method, VERAM, was used on 217 workplaces, and consists of both of a subjective questionnaire and an objective risk assessment, the objective risks are presented in this paper. The risk for daylight was assessed to be yellow (risk) or red (high risk) at 53% of the workplaces and the risk foThe visual environment has an impact on subjective strain and headaches.

A Low-Voltage 6T Dual-Port Configured SRAM with Wordline Boost in 28 nm FD-SOI

A 32 Kb dual-port low-voltage SRAM in 28 nm FD-SOI, featuring foundry supplied high-density 6T bitcells, is presented. Dual-port configurability is realized by a unique dual-rail architecture, utilizing boost techniques that guarantee reliable operation in low-voltage. The area cost of the array is 62% lower, compared to widely used 8T two-port or dual-port SRAM arrays. The SRAM reliably operates

Prevalence of fatigue in adults with congenital heart disease

Aims: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of the multidimensional phenomenon of fatigue in adults with congenital heart disease. Background: Adults with congenital heart disease are a growing population, and patient-reported outcomes can provide valuable information about the patient's experience of living with CHD. Fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon that can

J/ψ and ψ (2S) production at forward rapidity in p+p collisions at s =510 GeV

The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured the differential cross section, mean transverse momentum, mean transverse momentum squared of inclusive J/ψ, and cross section ratio of ψ(2S) to J/ψ at forward rapidity in p+p collisions at s=510 GeV via the dimuon decay channel. Comparison is made to inclusive J/ψ cross sections measured at s=200 GeV and 2.76-13 TeV. The re

Preclinical x-ray dark-field radiography for pulmonary emphysema evaluation

Pulmonary emphysema is a widespread disorder characterized by irreversible destruction of alveolar walls. The spatial distribution of the disease, so far, could only be obtained using an x-ray CT scan, implying a high patient dose. X-ray scattering on alveolar structures is measured in the dark-field signal. The signal is dependent on the size of alveoli and therefore, a combination of absorption

Value positions in the implementation of automated decision-making in social assistance

Automated decision-making (ADM) has been introduced into the public sector in many countries, including for decisions made regarding the provision of economic support to people in need. This article analyses the value positions (the ‘desired intentions’) for using ADM to determine such decisions in four Swedish municipalities. The value positions related to efficiency of the application process, i
