Bending Spoons to acquire Eventbrite in $500M all-cash deal
Bending Spoons is acquiring the global event management platform Eventbrite in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $500 million. Eventbrite would become the latest major global brand to join the Bending Spoons portfolio. Last month, the company announced a definitive agreement to acquire AOL, pending customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Bending Spoons also recently completed its $1.38 billion acquisition of Vimeo. “For two decades, Eventbrite has stood at the…

Effects of automotive microphone frequency response characteristics and noise conditions on speech and ASR quality -- an experimental evaluation
Upon choosing microphones for automotive hands-free communication or Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications, OEMs typically specify wideband, super wideband or even fullband requirements following established standard recommendations (e.g., ITU-P.1110, ITU-P.1120). In practice, it is often challenging to achieve the preferred bandwidth for an automotive microphone when considering limitations and constraints on microphone placement inside the cabin, and the automotive grade environment…

Simulations of Globular Cluster Evolution with Multiple Stellar Populations
The formation of stars with light-element abundance variations in globular clusters and the subsequent dynamical evolution of these multiple populations remains an open question. One of the most widely discussed is the AGB scenario, in which chemically processed material from the envelopes of AGB stars mixes with re-accreted primordial gas flowing into the center of the cluster. Based on this scenario, more than two hundred MOCCA simulations of cluster evolution have been carried out, incorpora…

Dynamic micromagnetism a la Ericksen-Leslie, allowing the Einstein-de Haas and Barnett effects
A model of dissipative micromagnetics coupled to elasticity is developed, following the procedures of the Ericksen-Leslie theory of nematic liquid crystals allowing for angular momentum due to magnetization. An outcome is the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert theory coupled to material spin. A further power-less augmentation to the angular momentum of the theory with classical kinetic energy density is also considered, which allows for plausible approaches to model the Einstein-de Haas and Barnett effect…

The beta decay of Tz=-2 64Se and its descendants: the T=2 isobaric multiplet
In this paper we present our results on the decay of 64Se. It is the heaviest Tz=-2 nucleus that both beta decays and has a stable mirror partner Tz=+2, thus allowing comparison with charge exchange reaction studies. The beta decays of 64Se and its descendants were studied at the RIKEN Nishina Center (Tokyo, Japan) following their production in the fragmentation of 78Kr on a beryllium target. Beta-delayed gamma-ray and particle radiation was identified for each of the nuclei in the decay chain …
