Back when Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger were a mercurial, hot-tempered, high-powered Hollywood couple they filmed this (nearly) scene-for-scene remake of the 1972 Steve McQueen-Ali MacGraw action-thriller about a fugitive twosome. It almost worked the first time because McQueen was such a vital presence on the screen--...
Pulsar systems are very good experimental laboratories for the fundamental physics in extreme environments which cannot be achieved on ground. For example, the systems are under conditions of high magnetic field strength, large gravitational potential, and fast rotation, containing highly-ionized hot plasmas with par...
She loves it! My cat is a very peculiar girl. She doesn't take well to new things. I thought she might like this heated cat bed, so I bought it for her. Within 20 minutes she was laying and napping HARD in it. She has yet to move out of it. I think she has a new favorite thing. I am so glad I bought this bed.
Deep learning has achieved remarkable successes in solving challenging reinforcement learning (RL) problems when dense reward function is provided. However, in sparse reward environment it still often suffers from the need to carefully shape reward function to guide policy optimization. This limits the applicability ...
This paper reviews the fully complete hypergames model of system $F$, presented a decade ago in the author's thesis. Instantiating type variables is modelled by allowing ``games as moves''. The uniformity of a quantified type variable $\forall X$ is modelled by copycat expansion: $X$ represents an unknown game, a kin...

I do a lot of squats, lunges, deadlifts...all that good stuff, so I don't really have a problem with my booty, but I thought it would be fun to try this out.It does give it a nice extra lift but the material around my legs is too tight, otherwise it fits good and looks good.
Jebuz Lamont Cranston - it's nice you pay attention to my posts but that's almost stalker territory you're in. I recall the issue on refugees crossing the border that some posters were frantic with rage that it was happening at all. I simply noted that short of shooting people, greeting, accepting and processing th...
The data collected in the Shapley-Ames catalog of bright galaxies show that lenticular (S0) galaxies are typically about a magnitude fainter than both elliptical (E) and early spiral (Sa) galaxies. Hubble (1936) was therefore wrong to regard S0 galaxies as being intermediate between morphological types E and Sa. The ...
We consider the Markovian Master Equation over matrix algebra $\mathbb{M}_d$, governed by periodic Lindbladian $L_t$ in standard (Kossakowski-Lindblad-Gorini-Sudarshan) form. It is shown that under simplifying assumption of commutativity, i.e. if $L_t L_{t'} = L_{t'}L_t$ for any moments of time $t,t'\in\mathbb{R}_+$,...
Are the stellar-mass merging binary black holes, recently detected by their gravitational wave signal, of stellar or primordial origin? Answering this question will have profound implications for our understanding of the Universe, including the nature of dark matter, the early Universe and stellar evolution. We build...
For high data rate ultra wideband communication system, performance comparison of Rake, MMSE and Rake-MMSE receivers is attempted in this paper. Further a detail study on Rake-MMSE time domain equalizers is carried out taking into account all the important parameters such as the effect of the number of Rake fingers a...
We show that the C*-algebras associated with synchronous games give rise to certain quantum families of maps between the input and output sets of the game. In particular situations (e.g. for graph endomorphism games) these quantum families have a natural quantum semigroup structure and if the condition of preservatio...
Attorneys have filed charges against several key players associated with some of the recent integrity and accountability failures; the New York State Attorney General and the SEC are taking steps to address certain conflicts within the investment banking community, and the GAO has taken a number of steps as discussed b...
We consider the problem of finding an $\varepsilon$-approximate stationary point of a smooth function on a compact domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$. In contrast with dimension-free approaches such as gradient descent, we focus here on the case where $d$ is finite, and potentially small. This viewpoint was explored in 1993 by...
The character of the superconducting phase of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, is topic of a longstanding discussion. The classification of the symmetry allowed order parameters has relied on the tetragonal symmetry of the lattice and on cylindrical Fermi surfaces, usually taken to be featureless, not including the non-trivial symmetr...
An electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow in a point-to-ring corona configuration is investigated experimentally, analytically and via a multiphysics numerical model. The interaction between the accelerated ions and the neutral gas molecules is modeled as an external body force in the Navier-Stokes equation (NSE). The gas fl...
I normally don't comment on movies on IMDB, but in this case I feel like I should. I love movies, and I want to make them, and this movie is a perfect example of fine filmmaking.<br /><br />This is one of the few movies that I have seen on the small screen (originally seeing it air on AMC, I believe, and then on the DV...
Modifications of General Relativity leave their imprint both on the cosmic expansion history through a non-trivial dark energy equation of state, and on the evolution of cosmological perturbations in the scalar and in the tensor sectors. In particular, the modification in the tensor sector gives rise to a notion of g...
A potential explanation for the spatiotemporal accumulation of pathological lesions in the brain of patients with neurodegenerative protein misfolding diseases (PMDs) is cell-to-cell transmission of aggregation-prone, misfolded proteins. Little is known about central to peripheral transmission and its contribution to p...
The atmospheric structure of chemically peculiar stars deviates from that of normal stars with similar fundamental parameters due to unusual chemistry, abundance inhomogeneities and the presence of strong magnetic field. These effects are not considered in the standard model atmospheres, possibly leading to large err...
A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is a form of Mobile ad-hoc network, to provide communications among nearby vehicles and between vehicles and nearby fixed roadside equipment. The key operation in VANETs is the broadcast of messages. Consequently, the vehicles need to make sure that the information has been sent by ...
Extremely thin I've been looking at this shower curtain for over a year and finally bit the bullet and paid the $50 for it. I am so disappointed! As many have said, it's very thin. There is no texture to it at all, but it does look just like the picture. It's very pretty, but when looking closely at it, it's just a pa...
Distributing entangled photon pairs over noisy channels is an important task for various quantum information protocols. Encoding an entangled state in a decoherence-free subspace (DFS) formed by multiple photons is a promising way to circumvent the phase fluctuations and polarization rotations in optical fibres. Rece...

We introduce and study a class of models of free fermions hopping between neighbouring sites with random Brownian amplitudes. These simple models describe stochastic, diffusive, quantum, unitary dynamics. We focus on periodic boundary conditions and derive the complete stationary distribution of the system. It is pro...
First off, this is the worst movie I've ever seen. That may make you want to see it, but it is not bad in a good way. It's boring, implausible, poorly shot, ridiculously scripted, and lacking in cool disaster effects.<br /><br />Worse, it is intensely patriotic without a trace of irony or fun, wallowing in a sense of J...
DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. In 2019, Bernshteyn, Kostochka, and Zhu introduced a fractional version of DP-coloring. They showed that unlike the fractional list chromatic number, the fractional DP-chromatic numb...
The Tayler instability (TI) is a non-axisymmetric linear instability of an axisymmetric toroidal magnetic field in magneto-hydrostatic equilibrium (MHSE). Spruit (1999, 2002) has proposed that in a differentially rotating radiative region of a star, the TI drives a dynamo which generates magnetic fields that can effi...

We propose Generative Well-intentioned Networks (GWINs), a novel framework for increasing the accuracy of certainty-based, closed-world classifiers. A conditional generative network recovers the distribution of observations that the classifier labels correctly with high certainty. We introduce a reject option to the ...
A review is presented of the development and current status of nuclear shell-model calculations in which the two-body effective interaction is derived from the free nucleon-nucleon potential. The significant progress made in this field within the last decade is emphasized, in particular as regards the so-called V-low...
In other words: Tsk, there is much friction between me and those who disagree with my political beliefs. The obvious solution is for these people to accept that I'm right, and they're wrong. Keep on trying, but we just had an election and your side lost. Preaching to the defeated choir isn't helping anyone.
Permutation invariant Gaussian matrix models were recently developed for applications in computational linguistics. A 5-parameter family of models was solved. In this paper, we use a representation theoretic approach to solve the general 13-parameter Gaussian model, which can be viewed as a zero-dimensional quantum f...
The properties of pairing correlations in symmetric nuclear matter are studied in the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory with the effective interaction PK1. Considering well-known problem that the pairing gap at Fermi surface calculated with RMF effective interactions are three times larger than that with Gogny for...
i prefer the TAT be used for rail because it forces the County to be more accountable for the Rail instead of asking for State handouts every time HART and Caldwell misdraft a budget or contract (every time). It's a naive hope that if the County is being forced to utilize a tax that relates to County spending like the ...
Deeply inside dense molecular clouds and protostellar disks, the interstellar ices are protected from stellar energetic UV photons. However, X-rays and energetic cosmic rays can penetrate inside these regions triggering chemical reactions, molecular dissociation and evaporation processes. We present experimental stud...
We report the inverse Laplace transform (ILT) analysis of the $^{139}$La nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ in charge ordered La$_{1.885}$Sr$_{0.115}$CuO$_4$ ($T_{charge} \sim 80$K, $T_{c} \simeq T_{spin}^{neutron}=30$K), and shed new light on its magnetic inhomogeneity. We deduce the probability density fu...

Many complex discourse-level tasks can aid domain experts in their work but require costly expert annotations for data creation. To speed up and ease annotations, we investigate the viability of automatically generated annotation suggestions for such tasks. As an example, we choose a task that is particularly hard fo...
We are constructing a program to estimate the redshifts for GRBs from the original Swift light curves and spectra, aiming to get redshifts for the Swift bursts \textit{without} spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. We derive the luminosity indicators from the light curves and spectra of each burst, including the la...
We argue that the spectral theory of non-reversible Markov chains may often be more effectively cast within the framework of the naturally associated weighted-$L_\infty$ space $L_\infty^V$, instead of the usual Hilbert space $L_2=L_2(\pi)$, where $\pi$ is the invariant measure of the chain. This observation is, in pa...
Using a combined quantum mechanical/classical method, we study the collisions of small Na clusters on large Ar clusters as a model for cluster deposit. We work out basic mechanisms by systematic variation of collision energy, system sizes, and orientations. The soft Ar material is found to serve as an extremely effic...
The increasing number of transiting planets raises the possibility of finding changes in their transit time, duration and depth that could be indicative of further planets in the system. Experience from eclipsing binaries indeed shows that such changes may be expected. A first obvious candidate to look for a perturbi...

We introduce a new scheme for generating short-wavelength coherent broadband radiation with well-controlled spectral characteristics. It is based on shaping long-wavelength femtosecond pulse to coherently control atomic resonance-mediated (2+1) three-photon excitation to a broad far-from-resonance continuum. Here, th...
In recent years argument has been made that a high fraction of early-type galaxies in the local universe experience low levels (< 1 M_sun/yr) of star formation (SF) that causes strong excess in UV flux, yet leaves the optical colors red. Many of these studies were based on GALEX imaging of SDSS galaxies (z~0.1), and ...
We consider a time-slotted two-hop wireless system in which the sources transmit to the relays in the even time slots (first hop) and the relays forward the packets to the destinations in the odd time slots (second hop). Each source may connect to multiple relays in the first hop. In the presence of interference and ...
We analyze and completely describe the four cases when the Hitchin fibration on a $2$-dimensional moduli space of irregular Higgs bundles over $\mathbb{C}P^{1}$ has a single singular fiber. The case when the fiber at infinity is of type $I_0^*$ is further analyzed, and we give constructions of all the possible config...
We study a class of quantum channels arising from the representation theory of compact quantum groups that we call Temperley-Lieb quantum channels. These channels simultaneously extend those introduced in [BC18], [AN14], and [LS14]. (Quantum) Symmetries in quantum information theory arise naturally from many points o...
Quantum Information is a new area of research which has been growing rapidly since the last decade. This topic is very close to potential applications to the so called Quantum Computer. In our point of view it makes sense to develop a more "dynamical point of view" of this theory. We want to consider the concepts of ...
Historical linguists have identified regularities in the process of historic sound change. The comparative method utilizes those regularities to reconstruct proto-words based on observed forms in daughter languages. Can this process be efficiently automated? We address the task of proto-word reconstruction, in which ...
Didn't have loops for duvet cover Everything about this comforter is perfect except for the fact that the one I got doesn't have any loops for connecting it to a duvet cover, so it's bunching up in the cover pretty immediately. I don't know if I got a defect or what, but it would be perfect with loops.
It is shown in the work of one of the authors in 1979 (MKV) that the contribution to the amplitude of this decay from diagrams with one baryon loop is equal to zero and contributions from diagrams with meson loops appear very small. However, pole diagrams with intermediate vector mesons were not considered there. Her...
There are now many known exoplanets with Msin(i) within a factor of two of Neptune's, including the transiting planets GJ436b and HAT-P-11b. Planets in this mass-range are different from their more massive cousins in several ways that are relevant to their radiative properties and thermal structures. By analogy with ...

The class of antiperovskite compounds $A_3B$O ($A$ = Ca, Sr, Ba; $B$ = Sn, Pb) has attracted interest as a candidate 3D Dirac system with topological surface states protected by crystal symmetry. A key factor underlying the rich electronic structure of $A_3B$O is the unusual valence state of $B$, i.e., a formal oxida...
Topologically, a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$ is a $g$-holed torus (a sphere with $g$ handles). This paper is an introduction to the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves. It presents the basic ideas and properties as an expository essay, explores some of their numerous consequences and ...
I compare two holographic mechanisms giving to the graviton a parametrically-small supersymmetric mass $m_g$ in Anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the context of bi-metric gravity these mechanisms couple `weakly' two initially decoupled superconformal theories by: (i) turning on a double-trace deformation, or (ii) gauging ...
We have employed the GMRT and the VLA to map the Lockman Hole. At 610 and 1,400 MHz, we reach noise levels of 15 and 6 uJy/beam, respectively, with well-matched resolutions (~5"). At this depth we obtained reliable detections for about half of the known submm galaxies (SMGs) in the field. For radio-identified SMGs, w...
Some might remember if having seen the film Juno a scene where Ellen Page has a moment of praise for Dario Argento's Suspiria, her favorite horror film.

In the present work, we investigate $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ production from $\Lambda_b$ decay in a molecular scenario by using an effective Lagrangian approach. We predict the ratio of the branching fraction of $\Lambda_b \to P_c K$, which is weakly dependent on our model parameter. We also find the ...

Assuming regularity of the fixed subalgebra, any action of a finite group $G$ on a holomorphic VOA $V$ determines a gauge anomaly $\alpha \in \mathrm{H}^3(G; \boldsymbol{\mu})$, where $\boldsymbol{\mu} \subset \mathbb{C}^\times$ is the group of roots of unity. We show that under Galois conjugation $V \mapsto {^\gamma...
The problem of successfully simulating ionic fluids at low temperature and low density states is well known in the simulation literature: using conventional methods, the system is not able to equilibrate rapidly due to the presence of strongly associated cation-anion pairs.
