Acerca de la escena artĂstica de la Calle 10. Un clĂşster creativo pionero en la Ciudad de Nueva York
Since the beginning of the fifties, 10th
Street concentrated an artistic activity
unprecedented in the history of the
paradigmatic City of New York. A significant
number of artists and their diverse ways
of production were hosted in the buildings
of this urban artery. While the Greenwich
Village bohemia or the Coenties Slip’s artists
pioneered a sporadic and spontaneous
relationship with the city, this synergistic
model of multiple and connected art spaces
along this axis could be identified as a first
creative cluster, inspiring later important
phenomena such as the colonization of the
South of Houston Street at the hands of the
artistic counterculture. The 10th Street artists’
activity would range from singular spaces
and projects, such as the Tenth Street Studio
Building, to the first structures of artistic
cooperatives, Tenth Street Co-ops. While
showing the groundbreaking relationship
between this city and its art, this article
particularly investigates the architectural and
cultural scene of 10th Street, which would
ultimately influence the 1960s’ popular urban
model of the artistic district. Moreover, the
revelation of its history is intended to build
the antecedents of certain contemporary
intervention practices and theories that rely
on culture as a way of city improvement.Desde el comienzo de la década de los 50, la

relaciĂłn entre esta ciudad y su arte, este

arquitectĂłnica y cultural de la calle 10, que en
Ăşltima instancia influirĂa en el popular modelo
urbano del distrito artĂstico de los años sesenta.

Hypoxic Cell Waves around Necrotic Cores in Glioblastoma: A Biomathematical Model and its Therapeutic Implications
Glioblastoma is a rapidly evolving high-grade astrocytoma that is
distinguished pathologically from lower grade gliomas by the presence of
necrosis and microvascular hiperplasia. Necrotic areas are typically surrounded
by hypercellular regions known as "pseudopalisades" originated by local tumor
vessel occlusions that induce collective cellular migration events. This leads
to the formation of waves of tumor cells actively migrating away from central
hypoxia. We present a mathematical model that incorporates the interplay among
two tumor cell phenotypes, a necrotic core and the oxygen distribution. Our
simulations reveal the formation of a traveling wave of tumor cells that
reproduces the observed histologic patterns of pseudopalisades. Additional
simulations of the model equations show that preventing the collapse of tumor
microvessels leads to slower glioma invasion, a fact that might be exploited
for therapeutic purposes.Comment: 29 pages, 9 figure
Application of the coherent state formalism to multiply excited states
A general expression is obtained for the matrix element of an m-body operator
between coherent states constructed from multiple orthogonal coherent boson
species. This allows the coherent state formalism to be applied to states
possessing an arbitrarily large number of intrinsic excitation quanta. For
illustration, the formalism is applied to the two-dimensional vibron model
[U(3) model], to calculate the energies of all excited states in the large-N
limit.Comment: LaTeX (iopart); 10 pages; to be published in J. Phys.
Do recruiters prefer applicants with similar skills? Evidence from a randomized natural experiment
In this paper we examine the potential existence of a similar-to-me effect in terms of skills
between recruiters and applicants. Using evidence from entry exams to the Spanish Judiciary,
where applicants are randomly assigned across evaluation committees, we find that committee
members tend to be more demanding at those stages where they are more knowledgeable. As
a result, applicants who excel in the same dimensions as recruiters are more likely to be hire
