Since 2020, the world has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, causing significant changes in cities, affecting the daily mobility of people, and exacerbating inequalities, particularly for women. Confinement has deepened gender inequality in different dimensions and contexts, whereby many women, as part of their reproductive roles, have assumed more care and domestic work in various spaces, especially at home and in their neighborhoods. This article analyzes the impact of the pandemic on the daily mobility of women linked to their care work in the San Cristóbal neighborhood of Recoleta in Santiago, Chile. With this aim, online in-depth interviews and exploratory maps were conducted with women who perform care work, comparing their work and daily mobility before and during the pandemic. The results show that since the pandemic began, the gender inequality experienced by women has increased, as reflected in their daily activities, particularly in relation to the increase in domestic work and care work. Likewise, a change is observed in the daily mobility of women who perform care work, as they have focused more on walking and movement within their own neighborhoods to cover basic needs.

The goal of this article is to analyze the scenic-performative procedures used in Pita Torres' staging, Prostíbulo poético Valparaíso (2018), to understand how, through theatrical-gathering resources a world of marginal festivity that tenses the image of the patrimonial, cultural and touristic Valparaíso, old port of the South, (raised from the political institutionally) is configured. The analysis suggests that the choice of a borderline proxemics, which favours bodily interaction between actants and spectators, produces a shocking experience that takes them out of illusion. This configures as a non-textual strategy that raises a social critique from within the poetic universe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Argentine geology exposes lithogenetic belts and favorable environments for the generation of deposits of minerals and rocks strongly required by agriculture, both sources of nutrient elements as corrective applications or amendments (gypsum, calcium and magnesium carbonates, potassium salts, phosphoric rocks and borates, among the main ones). Geological environments of formation of gypsum deposits in Argentina are five: in the Neuquén basin, deposits mainly corresponding to the lithogenetic belt of Cretaceous- Tertiary marine and coastal deposits and Jurassic-Cretaceous marine deposits; in the Pampean region deposits belong to quaternary evaporitic deposits in salt flats and endorheic basins; in the west and center-west of Argentina they correspond to the girdle of neogene basin deposits and cretaceous continental deposits, while in the south-west of Mesopotamia they belong to the lithogenetic belt of pleistocene palustre-lacustrine basin deposits. Potassium resources belong to endorheic basins of the Puna with Li - K - B brines, and saline horizons with silvite in the Huitrín Formation forming part of the evaporitic sequence of the Neuquén basin. Geological environments for the formation of limestone and dolomite deposits in Argentina are seven: in the central region of the country deposits belong to two lithogenetic belts, the Precambrian-Cambrian basement (Ca and Ca-Mg) and to a lesser extent the deposits of neogene basins (Ca); in the Precordillera they correspond to Cambrian-Ordovician carbonate platform, while in Buenos Aires to upper Precambrian - Ordovician marine deposits. In the Neuquen Basin deposits belong to the lithogenetic belt of Jurassic- Cretaceous marine deposits. In the Neuquen Basin and the Central region, deposits of carbonate rocks (Ca and Ca-Mg) were also developed in the belt of cretaceous-tertiary marine and coastal deposits. In the province of Entre Rios (southern Mesopotamia, Argentina), they are linked to the lithogenetic belt of Miocene-Holocene coastal deposits. Phosphoric or slightly phosphoric rocks developed at the cretaceous and tertiary marine levels in Patagonia; in the Ordovician sediments of northwestern Argentina, mainly the eastern flank of the Eastern Cordillera with full record of Tremadocian age, and to a lesser extent in the Sub-Andean Sierras; and in phosphate limestones and phosphate sandstones of the lower Cretaceous of the Neuquen Basin. Borate deposits are located in the Puna and correspond to evaporitic facies of tertiary synogenic deposits and quaternary salt deposits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Walking is, along with cycling, the most sustainable, democratic and healthy transportation mode to travel within a city (Tonucci, 2004; Gehl, 2011). For this reason, walking should be promoted through planning and urban design. In fact, in Chile, the recent National Urban Development Policy (2014) sets out the promotion of pedestrian traffic as an urban mobility objective. This research analyzes the deficiencies and challenges of urban planning and street design in Chile, making a comparative analysis with instruments and urban design standards in Germany which promote pedestrians in the city. Thus, best practices and planning tools are analyzed in depth from case studies that have promoted walking, such as minimum standards, design guidelines, traffic calming and participatory processes, among others. This paper concludes with a proposal of instruments, recommendations and urban design standards to promote the development of pedestrian-oriented streets in Chile and thus a more sustainable urban development.

Flux density measurement applied to central receiver systems delivers the spatial distribution of the concentrated solar radiation on the receiver aperture, measures receiver input power, and monitors and might control heliostat aimpoints. Commercial solar tower plants have much larger aperture suifaces than the receiver prototypes tested in earlier research and development (R&D) projects. Existing methods to measure the solar flux density in the receiver aperture face new challenges regarding the receiver size. Also, the requirements regarding costs, accuracy, spatial resolution, and measuring speed are different. This paper summarizes existent concepts, presents recent research results for techniques that can be applied to large-scale receivers and assesses them against a catalog of requirements. Direct and indirect moving bar techniques offer high measurement accuracy, but also have the disadvantage of large moving parts on a solar tower. In the case of external receivers, measuring directly on receiver suifaces avoids moving parts and allows continuous measurement but may be not as precise. This promising technique requires proper scientific evaluation due to specific reflectance properties of current receiver materials. Measurement-supported simulation techniques can also he applied to cavity receivers without installing moving parts. They have reasonable uncertainties under ideal conditions and require comparatively low effort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When dealing with the concept of heat, the layman does not have particular problems: Heat is contained in hot bodies. The greater and the hotter a body, the more heat it contains. Heat goes or flows by itself from hot to cold, or from hot to less hot. Heat is produced within a flame, by mechanical friction or in the wire of a light bulb. It is strange, that physics has trouble with the concept of heat. Simple statements about the every-day concept of heat become incorrect, when interpreted in terms of the physical process quantity Q. They become correct, however, when the everyday heat concept is identified with the physical quantity "entropy" instead of Q. At the same time, one gets a simple intuition about entropy, otherwise infamous for its abstractness. A teaching sequence corresponding to the first five lessons of a thermodynamics course for beginners is presented, where entropy is introduced from the very beginning. In this short period of teaching time, not only the second and the third principle are introduced, but we also come to a physical description of basic processes of our everyday "thermal experience". Entropy appears as a quantity no more difficult than length, time or mass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work was to compare the effect of the application of different sources of phosphorus and sulfur (synthetic fertilizers, phosphate rock and gypsum) on soybean crop, and to evaluate the residuality of these nutrients according to the source of application in a typical Argiudol soil under no tillage system. The results obtained show that the fertilization with a mixed of phosphate rock and gypsum, allowed to obtain the same yields as the traditional fertilization. However, no residual effect of the phosphate rock on the soil extractable phosphorus and sulfur was measured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnetizing the fuel in inertial confinement fusion relaxes ignition requirements by reducing thermal conductivity and changing the physics of bum product confinement. Diagnosing the level of fuel magnetization during bum is critical to understanding target performance in magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) implosions. In pure deuterium fusion plasma, 1.01 MeV tritons are emitted during deuterium-deuterium fusion and can undergo secondary deuterium-tritium reactions before exiting the fuel. Increasing the fuel magnetization elongates the path lengths through the fuel of some of the tritons, enhancing their probability of reaction. Based on this feature, a method to diagnose fuel magnetization using the ratio of overall deuterium-tritium to deuterium-deuterium neutron yields is developed. Analysis of anisotropies in the secondary neutron energy spectra further constrain the measurement. Secondary reactions also are shown to provide an upper bound for the volumetric fuel-pusher mix in MIF. The analysis is applied to recent MIF experiments [M. R. Gomez et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 155003 (2014)] on the Z Pulsed Power Facility, indicating that significant magnetic confinement of charged bum products was achieved and suggesting a relatively low-mix environment. Both of these are essential features of future ignition-scale MIF designs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This Letter presents results from the first fully integrated experiments testing the magnetized liner inertial fusion concept [S. A. Slutz et at, Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303 (2010)], in which a cylinder of deuterium gas with a preimposed 10 T axial magnetic field is heated by Z beamlet, a 2.5 kJ, 1 TW laser, and magnetically imploded by a 19 MA, 100 ns rise time current on the Z facility. Despite a predicted peak implosion velocity of only 70 km/s, the fuel reaches a stagnation temperature of approximately 3 keV, with Te ≈ Ti, and produces up to 2 × 1012 thermonuclear deuterium-deuterium neutrons. X-ray emission indicates a hot fuel region with full width at half maximum ranging from 60 to 120 μn over a 6 mm height and lasting approximately 2 ns. Greater than 1010 secondary deuterium-tritium neutrons were observed, indicating significant fuel magnetization given that the estimated radial areal density of the plasma is only 2 mg/cm².
