Argentine-American
Argentine Americans ( es, argentino-estadounidense) are Americans whose full or partial origin is in Argentina. They are part of the broader Hispanic and Latino American category, and make up a scant 0.1% of the U.S. population, compared to larger Hispanic American groups such as Mexican American (11%) and Stateside Puerto Ricans (2%). Argentine immigration increased after the Dirty War in the 1970s, and many took up residence in states such as California, Florida, and New York. History In any case, it seems that the first Argentines who arrived in the United States did so during the 1950s and 1960s, seeking better economic conditions. A wave of Argentine immigrants came to Las Vegas, Nevada in the 1950s. Most these arrivals had achieved higher education in Argentina. For example, many were scientists. However, immigrants in the late 1970s arrived fleeing the political repression of the Dirty War. They numbered 44,803 people. Then, a few decades later, large waves of immigrants ...

Lattice Gauge Theory
In physics, lattice gauge theory is the study of gauge theories on a spacetime that has been discretized into a lattice. Gauge theories are important in particle physics, and include the prevailing theories of elementary particles: quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and particle physics' Standard Model. Non-perturbative gauge theory calculations in continuous spacetime formally involve evaluating an infinite-dimensional path integral, which is computationally intractable. By working on a discrete spacetime, the path integral becomes finite-dimensional, and can be evaluated by stochastic simulation techniques such as the Monte Carlo method. When the size of the lattice is taken infinitely large and its sites infinitesimally close to each other, the continuum gauge theory is recovered. Basics In lattice gauge theory, the spacetime is Wick rotated into Euclidean space and discretized into a lattice with sites separated by distance a and connected by links. In ...
