this show is one of the worst shows of ALL TIME! absolutely no original jokes and they're always a year late. like in 2009 they will finally say something about Michael Vick's dogfights. all of the cast members are people who wanted to be on S.N.L but had to go to the lowest of the low, mad TV.its an hour of mad magazi...
Automating the extraction of meaningful temporal information from sequences of microscopy images represents a major challenge to characterize dynamical biological processes. So far, strong limitations in the ability to quantitatively analyze single-cell trajectories have prevented large-scale investigations to assess t...
Has some issues, but comfy I like the chair, but here are my knocks on it. - I'm 6' 205lb (ding!) and my 2nd time to pull the leg-rest out it snapped the hard plastic housing holding the bars in on one side. - The armrest cover are not very sturdy it appears. After just a few days of scooting near my desk, the left ar...
The stopping of baryons in heavy ion collisions at beam momenta of $p_{\rm lab} = 20-160A$ GeV is lacking a quantitative description within theoretical calculations. Heavy ion reactions at these energies are experimentally explored at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) a...
Probably this is the best film of Clint Eastwood. Here action is minimal, but with plenty of good acting. A Yankee soldier Eastwood is wounded and taken by the female pupils and teachers of a school in the South, where he is hidden and taken care. Shortly after his recovery all ladies wanted to have fun with him, and s...
In this paper we study static spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov shells, made up of equal mass particles, where the angular momentum L of particles takes values only on a discrete finite set. We consider first the case where there is only one value of L, and prove their existence by constructing explicit examples....
{\it Ellsberg thought experiments} and empirical confirmation of Ellsberg preferences pose serious challenges to {\it subjective expected utility theory} (SEUT). We have recently elaborated a quantum-theoretic framework for human decisions under uncertainty which satisfactorily copes with the Ellsberg paradox and oth...
Perfect for updos and braids! I'm in cosmetology school, so I use this to practice sometimes. It is perfect for practicing braids, styles, cuts, or updos! I have not tried any blow drying, washing, or heat on it as I don't want to ruin it. It is good for certain things, however, the hair falls out very easily- BUT- th...
Text summarization can be classified into two approaches: extraction and abstraction. This paper focuses on extraction approach. The goal of text summarization based on extraction approach is sentence selection. One of the methods to obtain the suitable sentences is to assign some numerical measure of a sentence for ...
Current flicker mitigation (or DC-balance) solutions based on run-length limited (RLL) decoding algorithms are high in complexity, suffer from reduced code rates, or are limited in application to hard-decoding forward error correction (FEC) decoders. Fortunately, non-RLL DC-balance solutions can overcome the drawback...
Well that's kind of the point of the designation of sainthood. And the point of the Catholic Church as a whole. It sounds absurd, St. Paul told us as much himself. But I believe it anyhow. "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Co...
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) were extensively investigated in the past decades for solving separable convex optimization problems. Fewer researchers focused on exploring its convergence properties for the nonconvex case although it performed surprisingly efficient. In this paper, we propose ...
The recent advancement in lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) technology is revolutionizing the optoelectronic industry as devices of higher performance, lower power consumption, and smaller footprint can be realized due to the high optical confinement in the structures. The LNOI platform offers both large \c{hi}(2) ...
The adsorption of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) on the passivated H/Si(111) surface is explored from first principles. We find that the organic molecule is predominantly physisorbed with a distance to the surface of $2.6 \pm 0.1$ Angstrom, but also exhibits sizable resonance with the underlying substrate. This establish...
The local spectroscopic signatures of metamagnetic criticality in Sr3Ru2O7 were explored using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Singular features in the tunneling spectrum were found close to the Fermi level, as would be expected in a Stoner picture of itinerant electron metamagnetism. These features showed a pro...
The shift to electronic medical records (EMRs) has engendered research into machine learning and natural language technologies to analyze patient records, and to predict from these clinical outcomes of interest. Two observations motivate our aims here. First, unstructured notes contained within EMR often contain key ...
A radiative transport model is used to study kinetic equilibration during the early stage of a relativistic heavy ion collision. The parton system is found to be able to overcome expansion and move toward thermalization via parton collisions. Scaling behaviors show up in both the pressure anisotropy and the energy de...
Exploring quantum phenomena in a curved spacetime is an emerging interdisciplinary area relating many fields in physics such as general relativity, thermodynamics, and quantum information. One famous prediction is the Hawking-Unruh thermal radiation, the manifestation of Minkowski vacuum in an accelerating reference ...
In this work we use a low order dynamo model and study under which conditions can it reproduce solar grand minima. We begin by building the phase space of a proxy for the toroidal component of the solar magnetic field and we develop a model, derived from mean field dynamo theory, that gives the time evolution of the ...
The study of connectivity patterns in networks has brought novel insights across diverse fields ranging from neurosciences to epidemic spreading or climate. In this context, betweenness centrality has demonstrated to be a very effective measure to identify nodes that act as focus of congestion, or bottlenecks, in the...
7 month life span! Great mattress.... but has a VERY SHORT life!!! We’ve only had ours for 7 months and it already sags In the middle and is so uncomfortable to sleep on now!!! Would have been better off buying a more expensive mattress so I didn’t have to turn around and by a brand new one every 7 months.
Driving Lessons From the writer of the critically acclaimed films, Mrs. Brown and Charlotte Gray, Jeremy Brock brings a touching heartfelt dramedy starring Academy Award Nominees Julie Walters and Laura Linney and from the Harry Potter series, Rupert Grint. The beautiful portrait tells the story of Ben Marshall, (Ruper...
As a long-time fan of Superman from the comics, through the 1950s series, the first two of the Chris Reeves films and Lois & Clark, and finally Smallville, I was *really* hoping for something clever with "Superman Returns".<br /><br />Instead we got Lex Luthor making *another* attempt at real-estate conversion, another...
We notice signatures of extreme events-like behavior in a laser based Ikeda map. The trajectory of the system occasionally travels a large distance away from the bounded chaotic region, which appears as intermittent spiking events in the temporal dynamics. The large spiking events satisfy the conditions of extreme ev...
It's amazing that from a good, though not wonderful, film made back in the early Nineties, a whole franchise can grow. 'Stargate; SG1' is, without a doubt, a worthy addition to the science fiction genre and has the right to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 'Star Trek' as the kings of sci-fi.<br /><br />Following on from...
Another example of both the desperation and incompetence over at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets offered themselves up as a sacrificial lamb to enable the Cavs to strength their bloated payroll and to help Indiana avoid losing George for nothing. In return they would get a player who has started to physically break down,...
In two-dimensional layered quantum materials, the stacking order of the layers determines both the crystalline symmetry and electronic properties such as the Berry curvature, topology and electron correlation. Electrical stimuli can influence quasiparticle interactions and the free-energy landscape, making it possibl...
Nothing can prepare you for another lousy bimbo outing! This time, it's being brought to you by the never-inevitable Fred Olen Ray! As far as exploitation movies go, this one doesn't click! As science fiction, it's plain unoriginal! All that we see is an an ugly feminine android wearing a bikini out to destroy the Eart...
Despite progress in understanding radio relics, there are still open questions regarding the underlying particle acceleration mechanisms. In this paper we present deep 1--4 GHz VLA observations of CIZA\,J2242.8+5301 ($z=0.1921$), a double radio relic cluster characterized by small projection on the plane of the sky. ...
Not remotely soft Soft tiles was not the name they should have gone with. I will say was very easy to install and the pattern matched exactly what we have bought from another company while decorating my son's Room. I would like an increase on quality moving forward. I guess it is a cool feature that you can pull the a...
and then the last Civil War battle was fought at Val Verde you know over there on the Texas border you had a lot of of groups heading for Mexico and they were cut off at the pass more or less at Eagle Pass and they didn't get across the river there so they're the last and that was actually after the war was over but it...
I just purchased An Zhan (Running out of time) on DVD and it was an excellent film I must say. Not really action-packed, in terms of gun play, but definitely exciting and witty. I do not think I have seen Andy Lau in better form. And the editing on this film was very well executed. Go watch this now if you are a fan of...
We propose a machine learning approach to address a key challenge in materials science: predicting how fractures propagate in brittle materials under stress, and how these materials ultimately fail. Our methods use deep learning and train on simulation data from high-fidelity models, emulating the results of these mo...
We construct certain $\theta$-series associated to number fields and prove that for number fields of degree less than equal to 4, these $\theta$-series are number field invariants. We also investigate whether or not the collection of $\theta$-series associated to number fields of the same degree and discriminant are ...
We propose a device model that elucidates the role of domain walls in the photovoltaic effect in multi-domain ferroelectric perovskites. The model accounts for the intricate interplay between ferroelectric polarization, space charges, photo-generation and electronic transport. When applied to bismuth ferrite, results...
In this paper, we study the back-end of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem in deforming environment, where robot localizes itself and tracks multiple non-rigid soft surface using its onboard sensor measurements. An elaborate analysis is conducted on conventional deformation modelling method, Embedde...
With the exception of the sound none of the above are really criticisms for this type of no budget, (truly) independent horror film. Make up effects and gore are very good and the lead actor was effective, the lead actress although attractive needs some coaching as she was particularly poor.<br /><br />The major proble...
The only reason for me for watching this little known Irish film was the question could Mike Myers have played a normal, dramatic character. Well, he could and his acting was pretty good but unfortunately that was probably the only good thing that I can say about this film. In the beginning film follows life of twelve ...
Let X be a real Banach space. We prove that the existence of an injective, positive, symmetric and not strictly singular operator from X into its dual implies that either X admits an equivalent Hilbertian norm or it contains a nontrivially complemented subspace which is isomorphic to a Hilbert space. We also treat th...
We present results from a study of Type I critical phenomena in the dynamics of general relativistic boson stars in spherical symmetry. The boson stars are modelled with a minimally coupled, massive complex field (with no explicit self-interaction), and are driven to the threshold of black hole formation via their gr...
We investigate the evolution of transverse spin in tightly focused circularly polarized beams of light, where spin-orbit coupling causes a local rotation of the polarization ellipses upon propagation through the focal volume. The effect can be explained as a relative Gouy-phase shift between the circularly polarized ...
Several properties of a hyepergeometric series related to Gromov-Witten theory of some Calabi-Yau geometries was studied in [8]. These properties play basic role in the study of higher genus Gromov-Witten theories. We extend the results of [8] to equivariant setting for the study of higher genus equivariant Gromov-Wi...
Polar codes are designed for parallel binary-input additive white Gaussian noise (BiAWGN) channels with an average power constraint. The two main design choices are: the mapping between codeword bits and channels of different quality, and the power allocation under the average power constraint. Information theory sug...
Event cameras are bio-inspired vision sensors that mimic retinas to asynchronously report per-pixel intensity changes rather than outputting an actual intensity image at regular intervals. This new paradigm of image sensor offers significant potential advantages; namely, sparse and non-redundant data representation. ...
I like my Ronald Colman dashing and debonair, the fellow you see in such films as If I Were King and Kismet. I like him as the epitome of civilization as in The Lost Horrizon and Random Harvest. A brooding Colman isn't a favorite of mine.<br /><br />But in A Double Life precisely because his part as actor Anthony John ...
I would have left the movie halfway through if I hadn't been with people who liked it. The movie is based on real incidents, but it's so over the top it didn't feel real at all. I have some psychological background, hang out with a lot of psychotherapists, and have known seriously crazy people, so it's not that I think...
This report builds on (1) our 1994 report profiling leading private and public sector organizations that have successfully improved mission performance and program outcomes through the innovative use of information management and technology and (2) our 1995 report on the human resource management principles employed by...
The Japanese have probably the most sadistic movies around the world,and this is one of the strongest examples.With a running time at about an hour,it contains enough sexual violence and gore to disgust every single sane person on earth(even those who are hunting this type of movies).Three men and a woman are making a ...
We study the $\Gamma$-limit of Ambrosio-Tortorelli-type functionals $D_\varepsilon(u,v)$, whose dependence on the symmetrised gradient $e(u)$ is different in $\mathbb{A} u$ and in $e(u)-\mathbb{A} u$, for a $\mathbb{C}$-elliptic symmetric operator $\mathbb{A}$, in terms of the prefactor depending on the phase-field v...
It is increasingly suspected that the rare R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars - hydrogen-deficient and carbon-rich supergiant stars - are the products of mergers of CO/He white-dwarf binary systems in the intermediate mass regime ($0.6<M_{Tot}<1.2 M_{\odot}$). Only 77 RCB stars are currently known in our Galaxy while up ...
We have studied the long-term evolution of star clusters of the solar neighborhood, starting from their birth in gaseous clumps until their complete dissolution in the Galactic tidal field. We have combined the "local-density-driven cluster formation model" of Parmentier & Pfalzner (2013) with direct N-body simulatio...
Great device, but doesn't do as well on grout as expected. Chemicals stink... literally. But they do a better job for a fraction of the price when compared to this thing. I bought this to clean the grout on a house I'm selling. I cleaned an entire bathroom using acid wash but hated the smell and dangers of the fumes s...
We present a proof of the almost sure existence, uniqueness and coalescence of directed semi-infinite geodesics in planar growth models that is based on properties of an increment-stationary version of the growth process. The argument is developed in the context of the exponential corner growth model. It uses couplin...
The Arnoux-Rauzy systems are defined in \cite{ar}, both as symbolic systems on three letters and exchanges of six intervals on the circle. In connection with a conjecture of S.P. Novikov, we investigate the dynamical properties of the interval exchanges, and precise their relation with the symbolic systems, which was...
The crucial role of ambient correlations in determining thermodynamic behavior is established. A class of entangled states of two macroscopic systems is constructed such that each component is in a state of thermal equilibrium at a given temperature, and when the two are allowed to interact heat can flow from the col...
It's time we stopped funding these things and did something to make our existing cycling infrastructure function. One cannot go anywhere by bike in this city without being harassed by aggressive, drug-addled homeless people. They take over every critical underpass and won't let people through their stolen carts, unleas...
Driven by machine-learning tasks neural networks have demonstrated useful capabilities as nonlinear hypothesis classifiers. The underlying technologies performing the dot product multiplication, the summation, and the nonlinear thresholding on the input data in electronics, however, are limited by the same capacitive...
A completely new approach to the Ising model in 1 to 5 dimensions is developed. We employ $p,q$-binomial coefficients, a generalisation of the binomial coefficients, to describe the magnetisation distributions of the Ising model. For the complete graph this distribution corresponds exactly to the limit case $p=q$. We...
Amazing It does actually make my teeth whiter .Considering the fact I am a smoker and drink loads of coffee,I strongly recommend the product.Also,since I am using the product,whenever I go to dentist,they are telling me that I have no plaque. Thank you for the amazing product. I have ordered for a friend of mine too.
We apply a data-based, linear dynamic estimator to reconstruct the velocity field from measurements at a single sensor point in the wake of an aerofoil. In particular, we consider a NACA0012 airfoil at $Re=600$ and $16^{\deg}$ angle of attack. Under these conditions, the flow exhibits a vortex shedding limit cycle. A...
Stay away unless you want to look black and blue Even after washing the robe this is the worst product I've ever purchased on Amazon. It gets little black and blue fizzy bits all over you that make a mess and are difficult to wash off. Stay away from this robe. The material is also cheap.
I've seen this movie twice with my teenagers who love it. This one ought to be a cult fave! The best line, "Your dress is deeply cool!" says the Prince to Cinderella. Kathleen Turner shines as the stepmother. I also like the 1950's era cars and motorcycles. The melancholy prince is a great departure from the typical sw...
We consider an isolated system made of two pointlike bodies interacting at a distance in the nonradiative approximation. Our framework is the covariant and a priori Hamiltonian formalism of "predictive relativistic mechanics", founded on the equal-time condition. The center of mass is rather a center of energy. Indiv...
OpenNRE is an open-source and extensible toolkit that provides a unified framework to implement neural models for relation extraction (RE). Specifically, by implementing typical RE methods, OpenNRE not only allows developers to train custom models to extract structured relational facts from the plain text but also su...
In this paper, we analyze content sharing between news sources in the alternative and mainstream media using a dataset of 713K articles and 194 sources. We find that content sharing happens in tightly formed communities, and these communities represent relatively homogeneous portions of the media landscape. Through a...
We consider unital simple inductive limits of generalized dimension drop C*-algebras They are so-called ASH-algebras and include all unital simple AH-algebras and all dimension drop $C^*$-algebras. Suppose that $A$ is one of these C*-algebras. We show that $A\otimes Q$ has tracial rank no more than one, where $Q$ is ...
Under the assumption of thermal wind balance and effective entropy mixing in constant rotation surfaces, the isorotational contours of the solar convective zone may be reproduced with great fidelity. Even at this early stage of development, this helioseismology fit may be used to put a lower bound on the midlatitude ...
Investigating the power density spectrum of fluctuations in Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) interfacial mixing is a means of studying characteristic length- and time-scales, anisotropies and anomalous processes. Guided by group theory, analysing the invariance-based properties of the fluctuations, our work examines raw time ser...
What is the deal with all these ethnic crime groups copying Italian mafia related movies ? We all know the Godfather as in Don Vito Corleone, now we have this Mexican one which is just a strait out Copy. I cant see why other ethnic groups have to Mimic and imitate Italian mobsters, but it sure makes them look silly. Th...
In the first transformation scene, what is the music? I've heard it was "The Greeks Don't Get No Freeks". Is that right? I really liked that sound. I also liked the "Hyde's Got Nothing to Hide" in the final scenes. Truly a doper movie, but with many laughs and puns, sight gags, and slapstick. Madam Woo-Woo's place was ...
BackgroundRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation tool potentially modulating pathological brain activity. Its clinical effectiveness is hampered by varying results and characterized by inter-individual variability in treatment responses. RTMS individualization might cons...
This paper presents the second data release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program, a wide-field optical imaging survey on the 8.2 meter Subaru Telescope. The release includes data from 174 nights of observation through January 2018. The Wide layer data cover about 300 deg^2 in all five broadband filters (...
This paper presents our latest investigation on end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) for overlapped speech. We propose to train an end-to-end system conditioned on speaker embeddings and further improved by transfer learning from clean speech. This proposed framework does not require any parallel non-overlap...
......... and you get Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. Don't get me wrong, this movie is much less explicit (or not even) than Pretty Woman, but it (was) a new topic for Bollywood. The topic was accepted but it is far from Jism, Murder, and Julie. To tell you the truth, the topic is presented in a very clean manner. But the ...
Soft and cozy! Almost the perfect bathrobe - doesn't stay wet after a shower, hood is big enough to cover my whole head, very soft and I like the 2 colors. Technically it fits, but I almost want to get a size up so that it will be more snuggie-like. It just makes me cringe a little to order a size XL! But when this on...
We present the construction of a gravitational action including an infinite series of higher derivative terms. The outcome is a classically consistent completion of a well-studied quadratic curvature theory. The closed form for the full action is ghost-free bimetric theory, describing the interactions of a massive an...
The study of spectral behavior of networks has gained enthusiasm over the last few years. In particular, Random Matrix Theory (RMT) concepts have proven to be useful. In discussing transition from regular behavior to fully chaotic behavior it has been found that an extrapolation formula of the Brody type can be used....
At present it is generally believed that ``new physics'' effects contribute to leptonic anomalous magnetic moment, a_l, via quantum loops only and they are proportional to the squared lepton mass, (m_l)^2. An alternative mechanism for a contribution by new physics is proposed. It occurs at the tree level and exhibits...
I propose a scheme for reconstructing the weak value of an observable without the need for weak measurements. The post-selection in weak measurements is replaced by an initial projector measurement. The observable can be measured using any form of interaction, including projective measurements. The reconstruction is ...
This model will not last for a full year I purchased this model in Feb of 2018. Today is Jan 17, 2019 and it is having to be replaced. The clean indicator light continually flashes no matter how often you run the clean cycle. Please do not tell me this is because of "minerals", or "hard water". I have a whole house fi...
We address the inverse problem that arises in compressed sensing of a low-rank matrix. Our approach is to pose the inverse problem as an approximation problem with a specified target rank of the solution. A simple search over the target rank then provides the minimum rank solution satisfying a prescribed data approxi...
We are concerned with the existence and asymptotic properties of solutions to the following fourth-order Schr\"{o}dinger equation \begin{equation}\label{1} {\Delta}^{2}u+\mu \Delta u-{\lambda}u={|u|}^{p-2}u, ~~~~x \in \R^{N}\\ \end{equation} under the normalized constraint $$\int_{{\mathbb{R}^N}} {{u}^2}=a^2,$$ whe...
Spins in silicon quantum devices are promising candidates for large-scale quantum computing. Gate-based sensing of spin qubits offers compact and scalable readout with high fidelity, however further improvements in sensitivity are required to meet the fidelity thresholds and measurement timescales needed for the impl...
The man who directed 'The Third Man' also directed the 'Who Will Buy' sequence in "Oliver!"

The ultra-compact Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) X1916-053, composed of a neutron star and a semi-degenerated white dwarf, exhibits periodic X-ray dips with variable width and depth. We have developed new methods to parameterize the dip to systematically study its variations. This helps to further understand binary and...
Might this be an ADN's idea of a retraction? Of course not. Smacks of more of the Trump negative association propaganda. He's correct about Swedistan. FYI It's not just Rinkeby A Swede wakes up one day and says... "What we need is ______, so let's import a bunch of Somali's to make Sweden _______" a) divers...
There are plenty of potential interim superintendents while the search for a competent Superintendent is made. The idea that a superintendent, who has thus far shown such incompetent communication skills and has betrayed the trust of parents, teachers and students, is to have such a heavy hand in her replacement shows...
Implementation of an editing process for Content MathML formulas in common visual style is a real challenge for a software developer who does not really want the user to have to understand the structure of Content MathML in order to edit an expression, since it is expected that users are often not that technically mi...

For a digraph $D$, the niche hypergraph $NH(D)$ of $D$ is the hypergraph having the same set of vertices as $D$ and the set of hyperedges is \begin{align} E(NH(D)) &= \{e \subseteq V(D) : |e| \geq 2~and~there~exists~v \in V(D)~such~that~e = N_{D}^{-}(v)\notag &~~~~~~~or~e = N_{D}^{+}(v)\}.\notag \end{align} A digra...
For a locally compact, totally disconnected group $G$, a subgroup $H$ and a character $\chi:H \to \mathbb{C}^{\times}$ we define a Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_\chi$ and explore the connection between commutativity of $\mathcal{H}_\chi$ and the $\chi$-Gelfand property of $(G,H)$, i.e. the property $\mathrm{dim}_\mathbb...
We consider the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise $u_t={1/2}\Delta u+ u \diamond \dot{W}$ in $\bR_{+} \times \bR^d$, where $\diamond$ denotes the Wick product, and the solution is interpreted in the mild sense. The noise $\dot W$ is fractional in time (with Hurst index $H \geq 1/2$), and colored in s...
We provide a quantitative picture of non-conserved interface growth from a diffusive field making special emphasis on two main issues, the range of validity of the effective small-slopes (interfacial) theories and the interplay between the emergence of morphologically instabilities in the aggregate dynamics, and its ...
it is okay and could be better if it had the ground hole for each unit or at least the top one. hello, this cord is really nice in build and looks, but the lack of a ground plug is obvious. when ordering, we overlooked that as the cords being plugged in were only two prong. but, now, other applications all need a grou...
Misguided, miscast, murky, interminable lunacy given the high-gloss MGM A-budget treatment. Kate Hepburn plays a bride who comes to suspect her rich, handsome husband (Robert Taylor)is not the dreamboat she married but a psychotic killer. MGM's attempt at a Hitchcockian thriller is doomed from the start by a turgid, mu...
The general context of this work is the feedback control of an infinite-dimensional system so that the closed-loop system satisfies a fading-memory property and achieves the setpoint tracking of a given reference signal. More specifically, this paper is concerned with the Proportional Integral (PI) regulation control...
We study self-assembly in suspensions of supracolloidal polymer-like structures made of crosslinked magnetic particles. Inspired by self-assembly motifs observed for dipolar hard spheres, we focus on four different topologies of the polymer-like structures: linear chains, rings, Y-shaped and X-shaped polymers. We sho...
We study non-BPS black hole solutions to ungauged supergravity with 8 supercharges coupled to vector multiplets in four and five dimensions. We identify a large class of five dimensional non-BPS solutions, which we call "almost BPS", that are supersymmetric on local patches and satisfy a first order flow governed by ...
This letter presents results on the precision measurement of the top quark mass and a combination of the best CDF top mass measurements. A combination by the TevEWWG (Tevatron electroweak working group) of the best top mass results from CDF and D0 in Run 1 and Run 2 of the Tevatron is also presented. This result is t...
We reconsider the fine-tuning problem of scalar-driven inflation arising from the need to couple the inflaton to ordinary matter in order to make reheating efficient. Quantum fluctuations of this matter induce Coleman-Weinberg corrections to the inflaton potential, depending (for de Sitter background) in a complex wa...
