The only thing more full of holes than this movie's premise is its script. Flatliners is the ideal showcase for Joel Schumacher's glorious, flamboyant, brazen lack of talent. The plot is totally illogical but super fake-ponderous and everything is art-directed within an inch of its life in the most clichéd, overheated ...
Directly imaging and characterizing Earth-like exoplanets is a tremendously difficult instrumental challenge. Present coronagraphic systems have yet to achieve the required $10^{-10}$ broadband contrast in a laboratory environment, but promising progress towards this goal continues. A new approach to starlight suppre...
In the persistent homology of filtrations, the indecomposable decompositions provide the persistence diagrams. However, in almost all cases of multidimensional persistence, the classification of all indecomposable modules is known to be a wild problem. One direction is to consider the subclass of interval-decomposabl...
We obtain constraints on first- and second-generation scalar leptoquarks using the available data on dilepton (Drell-Yan) and monojet searches at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Assuming that the leptoquark interactions respect the Standard Model gauge symmetries as well as lepton and baryon numbers, we show that the...
Every society has public holidays, based on various excuses for one, including cultural tradition. These are ours, based on 2000 years of tradition. In reality, there is little that remains religious about them today. Government-run operations may have a long weekend because unions negotiated those, but mostly life go...
In quantum logic, i.e., within the structure of the Hilbert lattice imposed on all closed linear subspaces of a Hilbert space, the assignment of truth values to quantum propositions (i.e., experimentally verifiable propositions relating to a quantum system) is unambiguously determined by the state of the system. So, ...
Given data drawn from a mixture of multivariate Gaussians, a basic problem is to accurately estimate the mixture parameters. We give an algorithm for this problem that has a running time, and data requirement polynomial in the dimension and the inverse of the desired accuracy, with provably minimal assumptions on the...
Does what they are suppose to but the color was cracked They do what they are suppose to warn people about a new driver but the quality was not great all 3 were cracked the magnet part was fine. The colors were also different than represented in the photos. A brighter color like bright yellow would be better.
We use techniques from both real and complex algebraic geometry to study K-theoretic and related invariants of the algebra C(X) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff topological space X. For example, we prove a parametrized version of a theorem of Joseph Gubeladze; we show that if M is a count...
Measurements of the temperature and density structure of the solar corona provide critical constraints on theories of coronal heating. Unfortunately, the complexity of the solar atmosphere, observational uncertainties, and the limitations of current atomic calculations, particularly those for Fe, all conspire to make...
We report on strongly temperature-dependent kinetics of negatively charged carrier complexes in asymmetric InAs/AlGaInAs/InP quantum dots (dashes) emitting at telecom wavelengths. The structures are highly elongated and of large volume, which results in atypical carrier confinement characteristics with $s$-$p$ shell ...
What a waste of money Did not last 3 months! Display died after only light use. I own a apple watch just thought I would try something else, took for ever to pair with Iphone X. Somehow did it on its own after a month of wearing it. Limited functions which was OK with me but no support form manufacturer and website sa...
The Drive had SMART Warnings, reported few pending sectors The day I received the drive started backing up my data, when it was half full got read error, I loaded some tool that could read smart data, and it showed the drive had pending sectors which it indication of questionable bad sectors had the drive returned and...
I could not believe the low 5.6 rating on IMDb about Johnny Dangerously at the moment I wrote this review and I thought I had to do something to promote that memorable piece of comedy as much as I can. Seriously, to get a rating so low, the people who voted must have a very limited sense of humor, not to mention a very...
Closet Land is a nasty piece of work with superb actors. Nothing more (or less) happens in the movie besides the unending abuse of an attractive woman prisoner by a sadistic police official. The setting is minimalist. This might be considered soft core S&M porn because the drama is devoid of all reference points such a...
We show that in superlattices with a strong band inversion no hybridization gap exists. There are two points where the bands are crossing and the spectrum has a shape of Dirac cones. Due to the absence of the hybridization gap the optical absorption does not have a threshold and goes to zero gradually with the decrea...
I have seen this movie many times and each time i watch it i can't help but be entertained by it. Gunga Din is one of those Classic movies made in Hollywoods Golden Years when the actors themselves had to draw the audience into a movie without relying on fantastic special effects and man made "monsters" to carry a scen...
In this manuscript, we define and study probabilistic values for cooperative games on simplicial complexes. Inspired by the work of Weber "Probabilistic values for games", we establish the new theory step by step, following the classical axiomatization, i.e. using the linearity axiom, the dummy axiom, etc. Furtherm...
All of the mainstream expert professional groups and their members .. America's Pediatricians, Family Physicians, Internal Medicine Specialists, Dentist, Pediatric Dentists, Public Health scientists etc etc know that fluoridation prevents cavities and is safe. The fear mongering about enamel fluorosis is purposefully ...
How can neural networks perform so well on compositional tasks even though they lack explicit compositional representations? We use a novel analysis technique called ROLE to show that recurrent neural networks perform well on such tasks by converging to solutions which implicitly represent symbolic structure. This me...
In the classical balls-and-bins paradigm, where $n$ balls are placed independently and uniformly in $n$ bins, typically the number of bins with at least two balls in them is $\Theta(n)$ and the maximum number of balls in a bin is $\Theta(\frac{\log n}{\log \log n})$. It is well known that when each round offers $k$ i...
In this study, we consider classification problems based on neural networks in data-imbalanced environment. Learning from an imbalanced data set is one of the most important and practical problems in the field of machine learning. A weighted loss function based on cost-sensitive approach is a well-known effective met...
We report results of the spectral and timing analysis of the Be/X-ray pulsar SXP 4.78 using the data obtained during its recent outburst with NuSTAR, Swift, Chandra and NICER observatories. Using an overall evolution of the system luminosity, spectral analysis and variability power spectrum we obtain constraints on t...
Plasma oscillations in doped graphene bilayer at zero temperature has been investigated. Bias voltage effect on the dispersion curve for plasmon in bigraphene has been studied in random phase approximation. The possibility of controlling of curvature of dispersion curve for plasmon by changing of bias voltage has bee...
NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment at the CERN Super-Proton- Synchrotron. The main goals of the experiment are to discover the critical point of strongly interacting matter and to study the properties of the onset of deconfinement. In order to reach these goals, a study of hadron production properties is perform...
We use non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory in combination with a recently developed Quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver to study the real-time dynamics of a Hubbard model which is driven out of equilibrium by a sudden increase in the on-site repulsion U. We discuss the implementation of the self-consistency p...
NO SUCTION My wife was looking forward to this pump because her breasts are producing more milk than the baby is taking in. I paid for fast 2 day shipping but it still took a week to get here. The directions are written in horrible English. You can see the cylinder going up and down but no suction. I pressed everythin...
No fan of RTD management, but in their defense have withheld payments and have levied fines against Denver Transit Partners (DTP) and have forced DTP to pay for the crossing guards along the A, B and G lines. Short of firing DTP, and getting someone else to finish the job not sure what else RTD can do to hold DTP acc...
Several years after the pioneering work by Fermi Pasta and Ulam, fundamental questions about the link between dynamical and statistical properties remain still open in modern statistical mechanics. Particularly controversial is the role of deterministic chaos for the validity and consistency of statistical approaches...
These people should keep their hands off the county real property tax. I don't care if it's designated as a surcharge because it still appears that county real property taxes are going up. The same is true for the Rail surcharge which people believe is a part of the State excise tax. I don't really care about the hot...
We demonstrate that a system of nonlocally coupled noisy phase oscillators can collectively exhibit a hole structure, which manifests itself in the spatial phase distribution of the oscillators. The phase model is described by a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation, which can be reduced to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equ...
Surveys of the Milky Way (MW) and M31 enable detailed studies of stellar populations across ages and metallicities, with the goal of reconstructing formation histories across cosmic time. These surveys motivate key questions for galactic archaeology in a cosmological context: when did the main progenitor of a MW/M31-...
We present a numerical study of the collective dynamics in a population of coupled excitable lasers with saturable absorber. At variance with previous studies where real-valued (lossy) coupling was considered, we focus here on the purely imaginary coupling (evanescent wave coupling). We show that evanescently coupled...
Performing deep learning on end-user devices provides fast offline inference results and can help protect the user's privacy. However, running models on untrusted client devices reveals model information which may be proprietary, i.e., the operating system or other applications on end-user devices may be manipulated ...
The Advanced Normalizations Tools ecosystem, known as ANTsX, consists of multiple open-source software libraries which house top-performing algorithms used worldwide by scientific and research communities for processing and analyzing biological and medical imaging data. The base software library, ANTs, is built upon, a...
This white paper responds to the Voyage 2050 Call for White Papers from the Science Programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) and argues that education, communication and public engagement (hereafter EPE) should have priority in the Voyage 2050 planning cycle. The ESA Science's Voyage 2050 missions promise insight...
In this this paper the stochastic background of gravitational waves (SBGWs) is analyzed with the auxilium of the WMAP data. We emphasize that, in general, in previous works in the literature about the SBGWs, old COBE data were used. After this, we want to face the problem of how the SBGWs and f(R) gravity can be rela...
To promote the benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT) in smart communities and smart cities, a real-time data marketplace middleware platform, called the Intelligent IoT Integrator (I3), has been recently proposed. While facilitating the easy exchanges of real-time IoT data streams between device owners and third-p...
The identification of dark matter in our particle physics model is still a very open question. Here we will argue that axinos can be successful dark matter candidates in models with supersymmetry and the axion solution of the strong CP problem. Axinos can be the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), or can be heavi...
SWAT across this nation are under trained thugs who think they are elite military. Any fool knows you never point a gun at a target until they are a threat and your finger never goes near the trigger until you are ready to fire. They had no right to detain the couple whatsoever. A lot and i mean a LOT of cops are going...
The second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($\chi_{abc}^{(2)}$) and linear electro-optical coefficient ($r_{abc}$) of a large number of single-walled zigzag, armchair and chiral SiC nanotubes (SiC-NTs) as well as bulk SiC polytypes (2H-, 4H-, 6H- and 3C-SiC) and single graphitic SiC sheet have been calculated ...
This paper introduces a simple and fast variant of Planet Wars as a test-bed for statistical planning based Game AI agents, and for noisy hyper-parameter optimisation. Planet Wars is a real-time strategy game with simple rules but complex game-play. The variant introduced in this paper is designed for speed to enable...
Starting as highly relativistic collimated jets, gamma-ray burst outflows gradually decelerate and become non-relativistic spherical blast waves. Although detailed analytical solutions describing the afterglow emission received by an on-axis observer during both the early and late phases of the outflow evolution exis...
Security has become one of the major issue in mobile services. In the development of recent mobile devices like Software Defined Radio (SDR) secure method of software downloading is found necessary for reconfiguration. Hash functions are the important security primitives used for authentication and data integrity. In...
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the most important methods to handle high dimensional data. However, most of the studies on PCA aim to minimize the loss after projection, which usually measures the Euclidean distance, though in some fields, angle distance is known to be more important and critical for an...
The optimal function $f$ satisfying $$ \mathbb{E} |\sum_{1}^n X_i | \ge f(\mathrbb{E}|X_1|,...,\mathbb{E}|X_n|) $$ for every martingale $(X_1,X_1+X_2, ...,\sum_{i=1}^n X_i)$ is shown to be given by $$ f(a) = \max \Big\{a_k-\sum_{i=1}^{k-1} a_i\Big\}_{k=1}^n \cup \Big\{\frac {a_k}2\Big\}_{k=3}^n $$ for $a\in{[...
We prove a conjecture of Kollar and Larsen on Zariski closed subgroups of $GL(V)$ which act irreducibly on some symmetric power $Sym^{k}(V)$ with $k \geq 4$. This conjecture has interesting implications, in particular on the holonomy group of a stable vector bundle on a smooth projective variety, as shown by the rece...
Let $Q(n,k)$ be the number of $n$-ary quasigroups of order $k$. We derive a recurrent formula for Q(n,4). We prove that for all $n\geq 2$ and $k\geq 5$ the following inequalities hold: $({k-3}/2)^{n/2}(\frac{k-1}2)^{n/2} < log_2 Q(n,k) \leq {c_k(k-2)^{n}} $, where $c_k$ does not depend on $n$. So, the upper asymptoti...
Robust model predictive control (MPC) is a well-known control technique for model-based control with constraints and uncertainties. In classic robust tube-based MPC approaches, an open-loop control sequence is computed via periodically solving an online nominal MPC problem, which requires prior model information and ...
We address the problem of predicting the leading political ideology, i.e., left-center-right bias, for YouTube channels of news media. Previous work on the problem has focused exclusively on text and on analysis of the language used, topics discussed, sentiment, and the like. In contrast, here we study videos, which ...
We investigate how the presence of RR magnetic $F_{p+2}$ fluxes affects the energy of classical Dp branes, for specific string theory supersymmetric backgrounds which are solutions to the leading order in $\alpha'$ including back-reaction effects. The Dp brane dynamics is found to be similar to the well known dynamic...
"An album of songs so old everyone thinks they're new." This film has the elusive combination of pace and mood that set some films apart from the opening moments. And why not? Towering talent from Dame Judith Dench as a widow who plays saxaphone with a street musician to help him get the songs right, to Olympia Dukakis...
Distinguished Leather Collar this is a quality piece of leather, and beautiful color- just what we were looking for our tri-color corgi- and at an affordable price. At 5 months old it fits him perfectly on the last hole (size medium), and we cannot wait for the leather to soften and distress more with wear. If you are...
The Dzyaloshinskii Moriya Interaction (DMI) has laid the foundation for many novel chiral structures such as Skyrmions. In most of the studies so far, the DMI is present in the whole of the magnetic layer. Here, we report our investigations on a ferromagnetic nanowire where DMI is confined to a nanoscale region. We o...
"The Tenant" is Roman Polanski's greatest film IMO. And I love "Chinatown", but this one is so much more original and unconventional and downright creepy. It's also a great black comedy. Some people I have shown this film to have been *very disturbed* by it afterwards so be forewarned it does affect some people that wa...
We elucidate the nature of neutral collective excitations of fractional quantum Hall liquids in the long-wavelength limit. We demonstrate that they are chiral gravitons carrying angular momentum - 2, which are quanta of quantum motion of an internal metric, and show up as resonance peaks in the systems response to wh...
We investigate the interplay dynamics of a cavity qed system, where the two-level atoms are trapped in a double-well potential, and the cavity mode, with a frequency largely detuned to the atomic level splitting, is driven by a probe laser. The interaction between the center-of-mass motion of the atoms and the cavity...
Let's see what you left out of Canon 212: Can. 212 §1. Conscious of their own responsibility, the Christian faithful are BOUND TO FOLLOW WITH CHRISTIAN OBEDIENCE those things which the sacred pastors, inasmuch as they represent Christ, declare as teachers of the faith or establish as rulers of the Church. They have a...
In this letter we consider resource allocation for OFDMA-based secure cooperative communication by employing a trusted Decode and Forward (DF) relay among the untrusted users. We formulate two optimization problems, namely, (i) sum rate maximization subject to individual power constraints on source and relay, and (ii...
Awful I am a school teacher and I go through tons of pencils in my classroom every year. The lead was not in the center so when you sharpen them the wood comes all the way out on one side so unless you whittle them with a knife they are worthless.
The role of cooperative effects (i.e. synergy) in transmission of infection is investigated analytically and numerically for epidemics following the rules of Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model defined on random regular graphs. Non-linear dynamics are shown to lead to bifurcation diagrams for such spreading ...
where President Donald Trump’s reluctance to fight climate change cast a shadow over talks."" that is bias opinion bs trying to hide as news, well trump is not reluctant,, he wont and understands taxing us to dealth like justing is doing will harm the economy while doing nothing for the environment!! , so the only sha...
this was one of the funniest and informative shows that I have ever seen. This is a MUST see for anyone over the age of 16. this show had me and my 2 boys laughing out loud from the beginning. I don't know if everything on the show was true but the way it was presented left little doubt that Mr Wuhl was not only very k...
Using light-induced localized surface plasmon interactions in a metamaterial, we present a plasmonic control of light absorption for photonic switching. We discuss that the present surface plasmon-induced photonic switching is comparable with coherence swapping in a tripod optical system based on electromagnetically ...
A possible slowing down of the cosmic expansion is investigated through a cosmographic approach. By expanding the luminosity distance to fourth order and fitting the SN Ia data from the most recent compilations (Union, Constitution and Union 2), the marginal likelihood distributions for the deceleration parameter tod...
We describe the current status of CATS, a publicly accessible database (web-server http://cats.sao.ru) allowing one to search in hundreds of catalogs of astronomical objects discovered all along the electromagnetic spectrum. Our emphasis is mainly laid on catalogs of radio continuum sources observed from 30 to 15000 ...
The $f(R,T)$ gravity field equations depend generically on both the Ricci scalar $R$ and trace of the energy-momentum tensor $T$. Within the assumption of perfect fluids, the theory carries an arbitrariness regarding the choice of the matter lagrangian density $\mathcal{L}$, not uniquely defined. Such an arbitrarines...
The concept of causal nonseparability has been recently introduced, in opposition to that of causal separability, to qualify physical processes that locally abide by the laws of quantum theory, but cannot be embedded in a well-defined global causal structure. While the definition is unambiguous in the bipartite case,...
With Adam Sandler.<br /><br />This is without a doubt one of the most idiotic films ever made. It's about cruise ship waiter Shecky (Sandler) wanting to be a comedian on the cruise ship. First off, there is not one funny or clever line in the entire movie honestly. It is so unfunny it's pathetic. There is surprisingly ...
We address the Nash equilibrium problem in a partial-decision information scenario, where each agent can only observe the actions of some neighbors, while its cost possibly depends on the strategies of other agents. Our main contribution is the design of a fully-distributed, single-layer, fixed-step algorithm, based ...
In 2018, Kahle and Stump raised the following problem: identify sequences of finite Coxeter groups $W_n$ for which the two-sided descent statistics on a uniform random element of $W_n$ is asymptotically normal. Recently, Br\"uck and R\"ottger provided an almost-complete answer, assuming some regularity condition on t...
The consistency relation for the 3-point function of the CMB is a very powerful observational signature which is believed to be true for every inflationary model in which there is only one dynamical degree of freedom. Its importance relies on the fact that deviations from it might be detected in next generation exper...
Irregular boundary lines can be characterized by fractal dimension, which provides important information for spatial analysis of complex geographical phenomena such as cities. However, it is difficult to calculate fractal dimension of boundaries systematically when image data is limited. An approximation estimation f...
In this work we use genetic algorithm to search for the gravitational wave signal from the inspiralling massive Black Hole binaries in the simulated LISA data. We consider a single signal in the Gaussian instrumental noise. This is a first step in preparation for analysis of the third round of the mock LISA data chal...
We study the moduli spaces of polarised irreducible symplectic manifolds. By a comparison with locally symmetric varieties of orthogonal type of dimension 20, we show that the moduli space of 2d polarised (split type) symplectic manifolds which are deformation equivalent to degree 2 Hilbert schemes of a K3 surface is...
Thermal transistor is an efficient heat control device which can act as a heat switch as well as a heat modulator. In this paper, we study systematically one-dimensional and two-dimensional thermal transistors. In particular, we show how to improve significantly the efficiency of the one-dimensional thermal transisto...
The millisecond pulsar PSR J1740-5340 in the globular cluster NGC 6397 shows radio eclipses over ~40% of its binary orbit. A first Chandra observation revealed indications for the X-ray flux being orbit dependent as well. In this work we analysed five data sets of archival Chandra data taken between 2000 and 2007 in ...
Topples over when not in use We love this unit when it is open. It glides easily over the carpet and is relatively sturdy. The gray color is handsome and blends into our decor perfectly. However, we don’t use it 24/7 and bought it so the top could be unhooked to hang down and the legs could be slid into the end of the...
Deep learning models continuously break new records across different NLP tasks. At the same time, their success exposes weaknesses of model evaluation. Here, we compile several key pitfalls of evaluation of sentence embeddings, a currently very popular NLP paradigm. These pitfalls include the comparison of embeddings...
We find that the current radiative energy loss kernels obtained from the opacity expansion dramatically violate the collinear approximation used in their derivation. By keeping only the lowest order in collinearity terms, models based on the opacity expansion have ~50% systematic uncertainty in the calculation of pi^...
great for the price these sheets are soft, beautiful color. The only thing I had a problem with, one of the pillowcases has a messed up pillow case, the seam came apart, or it may have been apart when I got them, I unpacked them and tossed them in the washing machine, when I took them out of the dryer one seam was no ...
Two-season limited event series “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” had been set to premiere April 12th on AMC, but we’ve learned this week that the premiere has been delayed. The new spinoff series, which tells the story of the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse, will now be arriving on AMC “later this ye...
"Caligula" shares many of the same attributes as the 1970 "Fellini Satyricon" with bizarre sights, freakishness, and depictions of sexual excesses all set in the "glory" of ancient Rome. But Fellini it ain't... First of all it is not as entertaining. Far too much screen time is devoted to bug-eyed, rubber-faced McDowel...
With the development of research on memristor, memristive neural networks (MNNs) have become a hot research topic recently. Because memristor can mimic the spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), the research on STDP based MNNs is rapidly increasing. However, although state-of-the-art works on STDP based MNNs have ...
We analyze the Bose-Hubbard model with a three-body hardcore constraint by mapping the system to a theory of two coupled bosonic degrees of freedom. We find striking features that could be observable in experiments, including a quantum Ising critical point on the transition from atomic to dimer superfluidity at unit ...
By a result of John Ball (1981), a locally orientation preserving Sobolev map is almost everywhere globally invertible whenever its boundary values admit a homeomorphic extension. As shown here for any dimension, the conclusions of Ball's theorem and related results can be reached while completely avoiding the proble...
ELEPHANT WALK was a thoroughly dull film and I really was quite happy when finally a herd of elephants stormed through the mansion and ended this film. Considering the money and cast, you'd sure expect the film to be a lot better, though I also question the odd casting of Dana Andrews as a man who is in love with Eliza...
Only half sci-fi Well, I wanted to like this book and I tried hard. Almost put it down a couple times. It's got a good dose of fantasy that I didn't enjoy. The story jumps around a lot and is difficult to follow. Reread several chapters trying to figure out what was going on. Character names were confusing. My apology...
Cute but not sturdy. Before the leg broke, this chair was pretty comfortable and functional. But at about the seven month mark, the leg snapped with little warning. To its credit, it's stable enough for use until it's replaced. Be warned if you will be using it frequently, on carpet, or if you're heavier.
Grand Unification of all forces has been a well motivated paradigm for particle physics. This subject has been recently revisited in the context of string theory, leading to a geometric reformulation of the idea of unification of forces. The interplay between geometry and physics has led to a natural resolution to a ...
After all these years of solving crimes, you would've expected criminals to know that they can't afford making mistakes with him, especially not with regards to talking much. This time<br /><br />Columbo goes to college, and actually explains his entire technique, but for some reason the murderer still doesn't pay enou...
Jim Wynorski strikes again with the very literal minded KOMODO VS. COBRA. No guesswork here. A giant CGI komodo dragon -- it sort of looks like a dog minus fur -- takes on a humongous CGI king cobra, with a bunch of tree huggers and others caught in between. The tree huggers get charter boat captain Michael Pare (who e...
We calculate the magnetoconductivity of the Weyl semimetal with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry and chiral anomaly utilizing the recently developed hydrodynamic theory. The system in question will be influenced by magnetic fields connected with ordinary Maxwell and the second $U(1)$-gauge field, which is responsible for anom...
By measuring the Josephson emission of a diffusive Superconductor-Normal metal-Superconductor (SNS) junction at a finite temperature we reveal a non-trivial sensitivity of the supercurrent to microwave irradiation. We demonstrate that the harmonic content of the current-phase relation is modified due to the energy re...
Given the ground state wavefunction for an interacting lattice model, we define a "correlation density matrix"(CDM) for two disjoint, separated clusters $A$ and $B$, to be the density matrix of their union, minus the direct product of their respective density matrices. The CDM can be decomposed systematically by a nu...
Deep learning techniques have become the method of choice for researchers working on algorithmic aspects of recommender systems. With the strongly increased interest in machine learning in general, it has, as a result, become difficult to keep track of what represents the state-of-the-art at the moment, e.g., for top...
Poor advice, Mr. Carrick: a bean counter's perspective, and people are not beans. Becoming educated cannot be equated with seeking a job. A student should do a program in which he or she is interested, and even more or less passionate about. Parents who tell their children otherwise risk bad results at university, ...
The ability to accurately quantify the performance an additively manufactured (AM) product is important for a widespread industry adoption of AM as the design is required to: (1) satisfy geometrical constraints, (2) satisfy structural constraints dictated by its intended function, and (3) be cost effective compared t...
The reflected light signal from a planet throughout its orbit is a powerful probe of a planet's atmospheric properties. There are a number of planets that are amenable to reflected light phase curve studies with present and future space-based instrumentation and here we assess our ability to characterize these worlds...
Mr. Simmons concludes "Hawaii voters may like change in relatively modest doses, but the cure for this disease of electoral apathy may take much stronger medicine." Oh yeah? Like what! Stop trying to force people to do what you think is good for them. I'm happy if ignorant, apathetic sheep don't vote. Leave voting...
