Towards 3-D Sound: Spatial Presence and the Space Vacuum
This chapter demonstrates the evolution of relationships between sound design and music in cinematic representations of the interstellar space vacuum. Mera provides a framework for understanding how audiences believe they are physically present in the represented environment and argues that, in the late 2000s, we move towards three-dimensional (3-D) sound, an aesthetic and technical extension of the superfield and the ultrafield as defined by Chion and Kerins, respectively. 3-D Sound’s primary characteristic is the emancipation of music from a fixed sound-stage spatialization, resulting in greater fluidity between sound design and music. This chapter examines the relationship between two types of spatial presence, articulating both the audience’s suspension of disbelief within a film’s narrative world and the spatial presence of sound and music within a multichannel cinema environme

Hematology and serum chemistry values in captive and wild pichis, Zaedyus pichiy (Mammalia, Dasypodidae)
As part of an ongoing study on the health status of pichis, Zaedyus pichiy (Mammalia, Dasypodidae), blood was collected under manual restraint from 72 free-ranging pichis captured in Mendoza Province, Argentina, between November 2001 and December 2006, and from 22 captive-kept pichis in January 2007. Reference values were established for hematology and serum chemistry. Pichis had lower leukocyte counts and higher mean corpuscular volumes than most other mammals. Blood values were similar for captive and wild pichis, and only a few significant differences were found among genders or age classes.Fil: Superina, Mariella.

Topologically protected quantization of work
The transport of a particle in the presence of a potential that changes
periodically in space and in time can be characterized by the amount of work
needed to shift a particle by a single spatial period of the potential. In
general, this amount of work, when averaged over a single temporal period of
the potential, can take any value in a continuous fashion. Here we present a
topological effect inducing the quantization of the average work. We find that
this work is equal to the first Chern number calculated in a unit cell of a
space-time lattice. Hence, this quantization of the average work is
topologically protected. We illustrate this phenomenon with the example of an
atom whose center of mass motion is coupled to its internal degrees of freedom
by electromagnetic waves.Comment: 10 pages (including Supplemental Material), 1 figure, 1 table; closer

Tangent measures of non-doubling measures
We construct a non-doubling measure on the real line, all tangent measures of
which are equivalent to Lebesgue measure.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures. v2: Minor corrections throughout, and section
