This paper is a brief journey into the amazing realm of crystalline color superconductors. Starting from a qualitative description of superfluids, superconductors and supersolids, we show how inhomogeneous phases may arise when the system is under st...
Recent theoretical understanding of the vortex phase diagram in real layered type II superconductors is briefly described in both cases with fields perpendicular (B \parallel c) and parallel (B \perp c) to the superconducting layers. The descriptio...
Robots are widely collaborating with human users in diferent tasks that require high-level cognitive functions to make them able to discover the surrounding environment. A difcult challenge that we briefy highlight in this short paper is inferring th...
This technical note aims to provide a brief introduction to the projection models used by the group to project future scenarios for states and municipalities in real-time, according to the disease's behavior in previous days. However, the parameters...
Critical phenomena were discovered by Cagniard de la Tour in 1822, who died 150 years ago. In order to mark this anniversary, the context and the early history of his discovery is reviewed. We then follow with a brief sketch of the history of criti...
The Raven I and the Raven II surgical robots, as open research platforms, have been serving the robotic surgery research community for ten years. The paper 1) briefly presents the Raven I and the Raven II robots, 2) reviews the recent publications th...
Access Hollywood, briefly known as Access from 2017 to 2019, is an American weekday television entertainment news program that premiered on September
Pawns is a programming language under development which supports pure functional programming (including algebraic data types, higher order programming and parametric polymorphism) and imperative programming (including pointers, destructive update of...
This lecture, directed to an broad audience including non-specialists, presents a short review of the problem of strong CP symmetry maintenance. The problem is defined and the possible solutions briefly reviewed. I discuss the way in which Roberto...
To explain this really briefly. I do this thing where i HAVE to have an equal amount of steps on my left and right foot. ESPECIALLY when the floor/ground is made up of different materials or has diffe...
In this brief note, we clarify certain aspects related to the magnetic (i.e., odd parity or axial) tidal Love numbers of a star in general relativity. Magnetic tidal deformations of a compact star had been computed in 2009 independently by Damour and...
In this brief note I argue that putting conscious observers at the center of the considerations clarifies and strengthens the many-worlds interpretation. The basic assumption, which seems extremely plausible based on our current understanding of th...
This document serves as a brief overview of the "Safe and Reliable Machine Learning" tutorial given at the 2019 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAT* 2019). The talk slides can be found here: https://bit.ly/2Gfsukp, while...
We study community structure in time-dependent legislation cosponsorship networks in the Peruvian Congress, and we compare them briefly to legislation cosponsorship networks in the US Senate. To study these legislatures, we employ a multilayer repres...

The scientific output of Parkes over its fifty year history is briefly reviewed on a year-by-year basis, and placed in context with other national and international events of the time....
How did star formation begin in the universe? Some of the questions addressed at this first meeting on "The First Stars" are summarized here from a theoretical perspective, and some brief comments are made on what we may have learned so far....
This paper is part of a publication series from the For5G project that has the goal of creating digital twins of sweet cherry trees. At the beginning a brief overview of the revious work in this project is provided. Afterwards the focus shifts to a c...
This article is a brief review of Zeeman spin-orbit coupling, arising in a low-carrier commensurate Néel antiferromagnet subject to magnetic field. The field tends to lift the degeneracy of the electron spectrum. However, a hidden symmetry protects...
relatively brief initial period—most of the flight is unpowered. Short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) typically stay within the Earth's atmosphere,
