'Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank,
Like a shroud it covers Bleeker Street,
Fills the alleys where men sleep,
Hides the shepherd from the sheep.'
“Uma parceria como esta faz parte de um compromisso maior, que confirma o ADN do Santander Totta: o de apostar em projetos que promovam o contacto entre o Ensino Superior e o mundo empresarial e que resulte cada vez mais numa transferência direta de resultados de investigação e de conhecimento para a comunidade”, explica Inês Oom de Sousa, administradora do banco Santander Totta.
Access to PDFs of research papers is too often overly complicated and restricted. Canary Haz, a free browser plugin that helps researchers access the PDFs they need with just one click, has been released in response to this frustration. Peter Vincent, one of the co-founders, explains a little more about how Canary Haz works, while also encouraging feedback from the wider research community.
The 8th edition of the Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge has already started. Through the initiative, Fraunhofer Portugal AICOS reward scientific investigation with “practical utility” in Portuguese Universities.
Can boundaries and Hamiltonians get along? | CQG+: "Boundaries are ubiquitous in physics, if anything because most material objects tend to have one… In the context of gravity they play a number of interesting roles: from the definition of conserved quantities in asymptotically flat spacetimes to holography (no lasers here, sorry) or the modeling of black holes. A natural question in the context of the canonical quantization of gravitational theories is how to obtain their Hamiltonian description – in particular the constraints – in the presence of boundaries."
