Schlosser and Zhou's sign-pattern conjecture for powers of Q10(q)Q_{10}(q)

Let

Q10(q)=(q,q9;q10)(q3,q7;q10).Q_{10}(q)=\frac{(q,q^{9};q^{10})_{\infty}}{(q^{3},q^{7};q^{10})_{\infty}}.

The sign patterns are coefficient patterns in the displayed order. Schlosser and Zhou's conjecture. For δ=1\delta=1, the coefficients of Q10(q)δQ_{10}(q)^{\delta} exhibit ++++++-++--+--+; for δ=1\delta=-1, they exhibit +++++++++-----+. This is a further conjectured sign pattern for a power of a residue-class infinite product, and the source gives no resolution.
