After its establishment, cinema had to compete with other popular forms of entertainment in Spain, such as musical theater and variety shows, in which the cuplé stood out. This article explores the presence and significance of cupletistas in silent films, examining the relationship between cinematic performance and music, the use of the artists' sexualized bodies, and the performative dimension of cuplés to cinematic narrative.

We propose a molecular architecture of nine-blocks PPP-PDA-PPP-PA-(CCH-acene)-PA-PPP-PDA-PPP (where each block contains various oligomeric units) as a hardware for the physical implementation of a spin-barrier scheme for global quantum computation. The physical carriers of information are electrons coupled through the Coulomb interaction. The barrier mechanism uses a third state which is externally accessed by a coherent laser field, which leads to an all-optical control. The results suggest that the proposed system for global quantum control is both scalable and reliable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
