Dynamical mass generation in Minkowski space at QCD scale
We undertake the challenging task to reveal the properties of dressed
light-quarks in the space- and time-like regions. For that aim, we solved the
Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) in Minkowski space for the quark propagator in a
QCD inspired model, focusing on the realization of dynamical chiral symmetry
breaking (DCSB) in the large coupling regime. The DSE is considered in the
quenched approximation within the rainbow-ladder truncation with a massive
gluon and a Pauli-Villars term, which is used to tune the infrared (IR) physics
of the model. The solution of the DSE in Minkowski space is performed by
resorting to the integral representation of the quark self-energy and
propagator, which leads to a coupled set of closed self-consistent equations
for the spectral densities, taking into account finite on-mass-shell
renormalization. The parameters of the model are chosen such that the gluon
mass scale is consistent with recent lattice QCD (LQCD) calculations, the
Pauli-Villars mass is lowered down to about 1 GeV to concentrate strength in
the infrared momentum region, and the coupling constant and renormalized mass
are tuned to reproduce LQCD results for the quark mass function in the Landau
gauge. Future application to study the pion consistently with DCSB within the
Bethe-Salpeter framework with self-energies in Minkowski space is also
delineated.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
BEC-BCS crossover in a cold and magnetized two color NJL model
The BEC-BCS crossover for a NJL model with diquark interactions is studied in
the presence of an external magnetic field. Particular attention is paid to
different regularization schemes used in the literature. A thorough comparison
of results is performed for the case of a cold and magnetized two-color NJL
model. According to our results, the critical chemical potential for the BEC
transition exhibits a clear inverse magnetic catalysis effect for magnetic
fields in the range . As for the BEC-BCS
crossover, the corresponding critical chemical potential is very weakly
sensitive to magnetic fields up to , showing a much smaller
inverse magnetic catalysis as compared to the BEC transition, and displays a
strong magnetic catalysis from this point on.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures; v2 PRD versio
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugal
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being includedin the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associatedwith habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam-mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion formarine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func-tionality and resilience, and therefore information on their distribution is cru-cial to delineate and support conservation actions. MAMMALS INPORTUGAL is a publicly available data set compiling unpublishedgeoreferenced occurrence records of 92 terrestrial, volant, and marine mam-mals in mainland Portugal and archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira thatincludes 105,026 data entries between 1873 and 2021 (72% of the data occur-ring in 2000 and 2021). The methods used to collect the data were: live obser-vations/captures (43%), sign surveys (35%), camera trapping (16%),bioacoustics surveys (4%) and radiotracking, and inquiries that represent lessthan 1% of the records. The data set includes 13 types of records: (1) burrowsjsoil moundsjtunnel, (2) capture, (3) colony, (4) dead animaljhairjskullsjjaws, (5) genetic confirmation, (6) inquiries, (7) observation of live animal (8),observation in shelters, (9) photo trappingjvideo, (10) predators dietjpelletsjpine cones/nuts, (11) scatjtrackjditch, (12) telemetry and (13) vocalizationjecholocation. The spatial uncertainty of most records ranges between 0 and100 m (76%). Rodentia (n=31,573) has the highest number of records followedby Chiroptera (n=18,857), Carnivora (n=18,594), Lagomorpha (n=17,496),Cetartiodactyla (n=11,568) and Eulipotyphla (n=7008). The data setincludes records of species classified by the IUCN as threatened(e.g.,Oryctolagus cuniculus[n=12,159],Monachus monachus[n=1,512],andLynx pardinus[n=197]). We believe that this data set may stimulate thepublication of other European countries data sets that would certainly contrib-ute to ecology and conservation-related research, and therefore assisting onthe development of more accurate and tailored conservation managementstrategies for each species.

Mammals in Portugal: a data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in Portugal
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals.
