Place-based Guaranteed Minimum Income in Barcelona: (un)intended inclusionary policy for migrants by Laura Colini

“…In particular, thanks to the inte-gration of local policies and the cooperation across departments, the project has impacted gender inequalities and indirectly helped the regularisation of undocumented migrants. Illustrating the Barcelona case study, the paper demonstrates that first, the approach adopted by B-MINCOME creates (unintended) benefits to migrants, second, that the combination of European and city level funds has fostered experimentation in terms of service design and provisions, and third, that local experimentations can further inform and challenge the design of public policies on inclusion at different scales. …”

Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization in the Esthetic Zone: A 6.5-Year Follow-Up and Literature Review by Hsiu-Wan Meng, Esther Yun Chien, Hua-Hong Chien

“…Immediate implant placement and provisionalization following tooth extraction have been documented as a predictable treatment modality, with fewer surgical interventions needed, to replace a missing tooth in the esthetic zone. This case report illustrates immediate implant placement and provisionalization to replace a failing maxillary right central incisor while maintaining optimal gingival esthetics. …”

Parallel Simulation of Population Balance Model-Based Particulate Processes Using Multicore CPUs and GPUs by Anuj V. Prakash, Anwesha Chaudhury, Rohit Ramachandran

“…Population balance models are also widely used to describe the time evolutions and distributions of many particulate processes, and its efficient and quick simulation would be very beneficial. The first method illustrates utilization of MATLAB's Parallel Computing Toolbox (PCT) and the second method makes use of another toolbox, JACKET, to speed up computations on the CPU and GPU, respectively. …”

Non-Gaussianity from Particle Production during Inflation by Neil Barnaby

“…In this review we show that interactions between the produced particles and the inflaton condensate can lead to a qualitatively new mechanism for generating cosmological fluctuations from inflation. We illustrate this effect using a simple prototype model g2(ϕ−ϕ0)2χ2 for the interaction between the inflaton, ϕ, and iso-inflaton, χ. …”
