Chain molecules play important roles in industry and in living cells. Our focus here is on distinct ways of modeling the stiffness inherent in a chain molecule. We consider three types of stiffnesses -- one yielding an energy penalty for local bends (energetic stiffness) and the other two forbidding certain classes o...
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $f: k[x,y] \to k[x,y]$, $f: (x,y) \mapsto (p,q)$, be a $k$-algebra endomorphism having an invertible Jacobian. Write $p=a_ny^n+\cdots+a_1y+a_0$, where $n=deg_y(p) \in \mathbb{N}$, $a_i \in k[x]$, $0 \leq i \leq n$, $a_n \neq 0$, and $q=c_ry^r+\cdots+c_1y+c_0$, where ...
In turbulent high-beta astrophysical plasmas (exemplified by the galaxy cluster plasmas), pressure-anisotropy-driven firehose and mirror fluctuations grow nonlinearly to large amplitudes, dB/B ~ 1, on a timescale comparable to the turnover time of the turbulent motions. The principle of their nonlinear evolution is t...
Magnetar flares excite strong Alfv\'{e}n waves in the magnetosphere of the neutron star. The wave energy can (1) dissipate in the magnetosphere, (2) convert to "fast modes" and possibly escape, and (3) penetrate the neutron star crust and dissipate there. We examine and compare the three options. Particularly challen...
We study nearly holomorphic Siegel Eisenstein series of general levels and characters on $\mathbb{H}_{2n}$, the Siegel upper half space of degree $2n$. We prove that the Fourier coefficients of these Eisenstein series (once suitably normalized) lie in the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for all sufficiently large ...
We consider the 3d cubic focusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLS) i\partial_t u + \Delta u + |u|^2 u=0, which appears as a model in condensed matter theory and plasma physics. We construct a family of axially symmetric solutions, corresponding to an open set in H^1_{axial}(R^3) of initial data, that blow-up in ...
Given a simplicial complex with weights on its simplices, and a nontrivial cycle on it, we are interested in finding the cycle with minimal weight which is homologous to the given one. Assuming that the homology is defined with integer coefficients, we show the following : For a finite simplicial complex $K$ of dimen...
The most concentrated application of lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton (LLE) robot is that it can help paraplegics "re-walk". However, "walking" in daily life is more than just walking on flat ground with fixed gait. This paper focuses on variable gaits generation for LLE robot to adapt complex walking environmen...
Great product -- strong smell I've had these for more than six months before getting the nerve to try them. I put the booties on & propped my feet up on my bed with a hand towel underneath. When I use the second pair in a couple of months, I'll be sure to sit with my feet down & on a rug I plan to launder right after....
Our work has shown that high-performing organizations use a number of strategies and techniques to effectively involve employees, including (1) fostering a performanceoriented culture, (2) working to develop a consensus with unions on goals and strategies, (3) providing the training that staff need to work effectively,...
The original exploitation classic-though far from enjoyable on almost any level concerning some guys who turn cats into human flesh eating monsters because the cat food they make is made with people is remade with scifi elements added. The cats can't get enough and when the flesh tainted food runs out the cats turn on ...
will i get credit or SOMETHING while we are are split up? by anyone? (YOU will!) lllol. yeah - sometimes the end packs quite the surprise. i saw the situation as more aggressive and urgent i think. i wonder how many teens were in this "crowd" 4 or 5 teens and a healthy solid adult 52 yr old man...i would have still...
The problem with the free market is that the profit motive does not help public services. Safety, security, health, environment, etc cannot be left to the private sector. Second, wealth will keep concentrating in the hands of the rich. There will be a permanent underclass that will vote for communism, which is unheal...
e study the minimal wave speed and the asymptotics of the traveling wave solutions of a competitive Lotka Volterra system. The existence of the traveling wave solutions is derived by monotone iteration. The asymptotic behaviors of the wave solutions are derived by comparison argument and the exponential dichotomy, wh...
Medium-voltage cross-linked polyethylene (MV-XLPE) cables have an important role in the electrical power distribution system. For this reason, the study of XLPE insulation is crucial to improve cable features and lifetime. Although a relaxational analysis using Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Currents (TSDC) can ...
In view of the vital role of water in chemical and physical processes, an exact knowledge of its dielectric function over a large frequency range is important. In this article we report on currently available measurements of the dielectric function of water at room temperature (25$^{\circ}$C) across the full electrom...
yeah i've seen a couple although the so many of the grocery stores don't do that because of the the time frame which they get paid in general that uh they i've seen checks deposited the very next day i mean cleared my account the next day my wife will write a check for groceries and you know almost well i guess it's th...
The paper shows that the kinetic equations considered in [1], equilibrium distribution obtained in [1], and results and conclusions obtained on the basis of the kinetic equation derived in [1] do not correspond to the mixed Bose-Fermi statistics. Moreover, it is shown that the kinetic equation corresponding to the ca...
The two-component, core-crust, model of a neutron star with homogenous internal and dipolar external magnetic field is studied responding to quake-induced perturbation by substantially nodeless differentially rotational Alfv\'en oscillations of the perfectly conducting crustal matter about axis of fossil magnetic fie...
We study the kinetic roughening of the single-step (SS) growth model with a tunable parameter $p$ in $1+1$ and $2+1$ dimensions by performing extensive numerical simulations. We show that there exists a very slow crossover from an intermediate regime dominated by the Edwards-Wilkinson class to an asymptotic regime do...
This brief paper: (1) Discusses strategies to generate random test cases that can be used to extensively test any Linear Distance Program (LDP) software. (2) Gives three numerical examples of input cases generated by this strategy that cause problems in the Lawson and Hanson LDP module. (3) Proposes, as a standard ma...
When mobile robots maneuver near people, they run the risk of rudely blocking their paths; but not all people behave the same around robots. People that have not noticed the robot are the most difficult to predict. This paper investigates how mobile robots can generate acceptable paths in dynamic environments by pred...
We propose new analytic formulae describing light bending in Schwarzschild metric. For emission radii above the photon orbit at 1.5 Schwarzschild radius, the formulae have an accuracy of better than 0.2% for the bending angle and 3% for the lensing factor for any trajectories that turn around a compact object by less...
Deep learning has taken part in the competition since not long ago to learn and identify phase transitions in physical systems such as many body quantum systems, whose underlying lattice structures are generally regular as they're in euclidean space. Real networks have complex structural features which play a signifi...
Spectral broadening in silicon is studied numerically as well as experimentally. Temporal dynamics of the free carriers generated during the propagation of optical pulses, through the process of two-photon absorption (TPA), affect the amplitude and phase of the optical pulses, thereby determining the nature and exten...
Like the earpiece clarity Like the earpiece clarity, volume over in the ear pieces. Don’t like the way the earpiece fits, lack of adjustment for comfort. The wire is too short from earpiece to mike. I have short torso and still can’t keep it tucked away. Relief for wires should be at radio attachment, not several inch...
If grandson can open flaps I could barely open the flaps. I’m sure my grandson will rapidly lose interest in this book if it’s next to impossible to open the flaps. Was going to return but shipping to return costs just about the same as the book cost. So, I guess I’ll have to keep.
The so called "low carbon economy" has been an environmental and economic disaster for Ontario. Hundreds of thousands of migrating birds, including many rare species, have been slaughtered by wind turbines along the shores of Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The obscenely profitable contracts awarded to wind tur...
Morphological features play an important role in breast mass classification in sonography. While benign breast masses tend to have a well-defined ellipsoidal contour, shape of malignant breast masses is commonly ill-defined and highly variable. Various handcrafted morphological features have been developed over the y...
Exactly What He Needed. Our nephew had to get braces recently and has to clean the braces and his teeth in detail more than he usually did in the past. He loves the flosser. It works perfectly for his needs. I'm basing my review on his input. We'd buy it again if we ever need another one.
Evolutionary calculations of population I stars with initial masses $M_0=1M_\odot$, $1.5M_\odot$ and $2M_\odot$ were carried out up to the stage of the proto--planetary nebula. Selected models of post--AGB evolutionary sequences with effective temperatures $3.6\times 10^3\,\mathrm{K}\lesssim T_\mathrm{eff}\lesssim 2\...
In this paper we first derive several results concerning the $L^p$ spectrum of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces whose $\Q$-rank equals one. In particular, we show that there is an open subset of $\C$ consisting of eigenvalues of the $L^p$ Laplacian if $p <2$ and that corresponding eigenfunctions are given by certa...
This is an atrocious movie. Two demented young women seduce and torture a middle aged man. There's not much to give away in regards to a plot or a "spoiler". I would only comment that the ending is nearly the most preposterous part of the flick. Much of the film involves Locke and Camp cackling obnoxiously, all the whi...
Hello. I looked at my account and see that a transaction I tried to do is pending, but I did not complete that transaction. When I was at the ATM, the machine declined my card. Can you make sure that transaction does not go through because I definitely did not receive the money.
Works good once connected correctly The funnel arrived with the extension connected (requiring a longer box than necessary; go figure). Took me a minute, and a check back at the pic on the product page, to realize the extension's tapered end had been incorrectly inserted into the funnel. Actually there are threads on ...
The angular distribution of the 2H(6He,7Li)n reaction was measured with a secondary 6He beam of 36.4 MeV for the first time. The proton spectroscopic factor of 7Li ground state was extracted to be 0.41 +- 0.05 by the normalization of the calculational differential cross sections with the distorted-wave Born approxima...
The segmentation of a time series into piecewise stationary segments, a.k.a. multiple change point analysis, is an important problem both in time series analysis and signal processing. In the presence of multiscale change points with both large jumps over short intervals and small changes over long stationary interva...
An important characteristic of English written text is the abundance of noun compounds - sequences of nouns acting as a single noun, e.g., colon cancer tumor suppressor protein. While eventually mastered by domain experts, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis. Understanding noun compoun...
"There are no suspicious funds being wired to Trump bank accounts. Trump's tax returns (like Romney's and Clinton's) are just going to be hundreds of pages of Schedule C's and Form 1065's, some of which will show losses." And you know this how exactly? In truth, until Trump actually releases his tax returns you, along...
You are right about one thing - Trump has no concern for religious values. He is a man who has no values. His only gods are wealth and power for himself and his family. Have you not noted that not a single terrorist incident in the US has been due to activity by anyone from the six banned countries? Have you not not...
A dormant generic Miura $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-oper is a flat $\mathrm{PGL}_2$-bundle over an algebraic curve in positive characteristic equipped with some additional data. In the present paper, we give a combinatorial description of dormant generic Miura $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-opers on a totally degenerate curve. The combinat...
The primary stability of the femoral stem (FS) implant determines the surgical success of cementless 15 hip arthroplasty. During the insertion, a compromise must be found for the number and energy of 16 impacts that should be sufficiently large to obtain an adapted primary stability of the FS and not too high 17 to d...
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible but preventable blindness in working age populations. Color fundus photography (CFP) is the most cost-effective imaging modality to screen for retinal disorders. However, its application to glaucoma has been limited to the computation of a few related biomarkers s...
Following Ghomi and Tabachnikov we study topological obstructions to totally skew embeddings of a smooth manifold M in Euclidean spaces. This problem is naturally related to the question of estimating the geometric dimension of the stable normal bundle of the configuration space F_2(M) of ordered pairs of distinct po...
First of all, i have nothing against Christianity. i believe, every person has the right to believe what he or she chooses. But i cannot imagine how dumb a person has to be to believe this! What a waste of believers' money. They'd better use it to feed some starving families in the third world countries. I don't want t...
A microscopic understanding of molecules is essential for many fields of natural sciences but their tiny size hinders direct optical access to their constituents. Rydberg macrodimers - bound states of two highly-excited Rydberg atoms - feature bond lengths easily exceeding optical wavelengths. Here we report on the d...
Good comment. Perhaps the coaching staff knows how to get them to the next level (Charles and excepted as they already played at a high level) Perhaps they just needed to surrounding cast. With Miller, Gotsis, Wolfe, etc... they can't concentrate on Peko or Harris. But I think playing to their strengths and coaching...
The sophistication of fully exclusive MC event generation has grown at an extraordinary rate since the start of the LHC era, but has been mirrored by a similarly extraordinary rise in the CPU cost of state-of-the-art MC calculations. The reliance of experimental analyses on these calculations raises the disturbing sp...
Aneka is a platform for deploying Clouds developing applications on top of it. It provides a runtime environment and a set of APIs that allow developers to build .NET applications that leverage their computation on either public or private clouds. One of the key features of Aneka is the ability of supporting multiple...
We use neutron scattering to study the structural distortion and antiferromagnetic (AFM) order in LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ as the system is doped with fluorine (F) to induce superconductivity. In the undoped state, LaFeAsO exhibits a structural distortion, changing the symmetry from tetragonal (space group $P4/nmm$) to...
In this note we consider the {\it spectral truncation} as the regularization for an ill-posed non-homogeneous parabolic final value problem, and obtain error estimates under a genral source condition when the data, which consist of the non-homogeneous term as well as the final value, are noisy. The resulting error es...
The axion is a hypothesized particle appearing in various theories beyond the Standard Model. It is a light spin-0 boson initially postulated to solve the strong CP problem and is also a strong candidate for dark matter. If the axion or an axion-like particle exists, it would mediate a P-odd and T-odd spin-dependent ...
The emission of real photons from a momentum-anisotropic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is affected by both the collective flow of the radiating medium and the modification of local rest frame emission rate due to the anisotropic momentum distribution of partonic degrees of freedom. In this paper, we first calculate the ph...
PNolan, none of your comment is based upon reality. The actual economic policies of the Reagan administration were demonstrably favorable to the general population. Your theory of the function of government is wrong. There are, of course, cases where governments do control rabble or re-distribute wealth, but those a...
Shrinkage prior has gained great successes in many data analysis, however, its applications mostly focus on the Bayesian modeling of sparse parameters. In this work, we will apply Bayesian shrinkage to model high dimensional parameter that possesses an unknown blocking structure. We propose to impose heavy-tail shrin...
GST is applied on top of the "carbon tax" (which isn't applied on carbon leakage from hydro dams etc. only fossil fuels) so this is a huge windfall for the federal government"s coffers. "all carbon tax money stays in the province it was raised" is not true unless Ottawa also sends the extra GST back to the provinces t...
Yellowed quickly This is a great case, except for the fact that fingerprints showed up on the case. I replaced it, then read a suggestion to put it in the dishwasher. I did and it came clean. So if you are willing to run this case through the dishwasher occasionally, go for it!
We employ Massey products to find sharper lower bounds for the Schwarz genus of a fibration than those previously known. In particular we give examples of non-formal spaces $X$ for which the topological complexity $\TC(X)$ (defined to be the genus of the free path fibration on $X$) is greater than the zero-divisors c...
We prove that to store n bits x so that each prefix-sum query Sum(i) := sum_{k < i} x_k can be answered by non-adaptively probing q cells of log n bits, one needs memory > n + n/log^{O(q)} n. Our bound matches a recent upper bound of n + n/log^{Omega(q)} n by Patrascu (FOCS 2008), also non-adaptive. We also obtain a ...
Clinical biosensors with low detection limit hold significant promise in the early diagnosis of debilitating diseases. Recent progress in sensor development has led to the demonstration of detection capable of detecting target molecules even down to single-molecule level. One crucial performance parameter which is no...
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a field of characteristic zero and let $D$ be a non-empty set of rational points of $X$. We calculate the motivic classes of moduli stacks of semistable parabolic bundles with connections on $(X,D)$ and motivic classes of moduli stacks of semistable parabolic Higgs bundles on...
The problem of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor is among the oldest and the most controversial in macroscopic electrodynamics. In the center of the issue is a dispute about the Minkowski and the Abraham tensors for moving media. An overview of the current situation is presented. After putting the discussion...
In component-based program synthesis, the synthesizer generates a program given a library of components (functions). Existing component-based synthesizers have difficulty synthesizing loops and other control structures, and they often require formal specifications of the components, which can be expensive to generate...
We investigate the use of external time-dependent magnetic field for the control of the quantum states in a two-electron quantum ring. The hyperfine interaction of the confined electrons with surrounding nuclei couples the singlet state with the three triplet states. When the external magnetic field is changed, the s...
Admittedly, I am not a fan of the Monogram Chan films. . The plot, involving radium theft from a bank vault, is a bit far fetched and a long way from the atmospheric mysteries that Fox produced. Mantan Moreland and Benson Fong (as No. 3 Son Tommy) provide some laughs as usual. But otherwise there isn't much here. Great...
Patrick and Wendy Mullery. An Inverness suicide support group plans to expand to meet demand. Patrick Mullery, who runs the group which meets in Inverness, lost his father-of-three son James to suicide at the age of 28. Mr Mullery, from Cromarty, said: “2019 has seen a steady growth in our membership which is now at...
Pronounced anisotropy of magnetic properties and complex magnetic order of a new oxi-halide compound Co7(TeO3)4Br6 has been investigated by powder and single crystal neutron diffraction, magnetization and ac susceptibility techniques. Anisotropy of susceptibility extends far into the paramagnetic temperature range. A...
Not bad, decent taste. Little bit of a stale taste though. These aren’t bad. For a zero net carb bagel they are pretty decent. Toast them and add cream cheese and you can’t tell too much the difference. They do have more of a stale taste/texture to them than normal bagels. And for six, they are certainly a bit priced ...
Product died after a month Initially this worked perfectly. Did what its supposed to do and helped me network a clients office. Now after only a month it's dead. New batteries and nothing. Now on site and need to run out and buy one of quality which I should have done to begin with. If you need something reliable, I'd...
We examine the influence of input data representations on learning complexity. For learning, we posit that each model implicitly uses a candidate model distribution for unexplained variations in the data, its noise model. If the model distribution is not well aligned to the true distribution, then even relevant varia...
Ehh, can cook with them they require same care as ceramic ones. SO far these pans are okay. I have not used them much yet. What I have cooked has cooked quickly, and evenly, and easy to clean so 3 stars. The handles are to small, and difficult to grasp using a silicone high temp oven mit, and with the handles on the p...
Doesn’t work I bought this for my daughter and we were so excited about it. It worked for maybe 20 minutes tops... I thought that maybe my batteries were bad.. nope. We tried several different batteries and it still doesn’t work. It’s a cute puzzle, I just wish it still sang the song!
We present results for lattice QCD in the limit of infinite gauge coupling on a discrete spatial but continuous Euclidean time lattice. A worm type Monte Carlo algorithm is applied in order to sample two-point functions which gives access to the measurement of mesonic temporal correlators. The continuous time limit, ...
Despite existing work in machine learning inference serving, ease-of-use and cost efficiency remain challenges at large scales. Developers must manually search through thousands of model-variants -- versions of already-trained models that differ in hardware, resource footprints, latencies, costs, and accuracies -- to...
Suppose that a compound Poisson process is observed discretely in time and assume that its jump distribution is supported on the set of natural numbers. In this paper we propose a non-parametric Bayesian approach to estimate the intensity of the underlying Poisson process and the distribution of the jumps. We provide...
Bad vibrato It worked really well for a few months, then last month it started vibrating continually on the left side (where the controls are) while still playing. It didn't stop until the battery ran out. I recharged it and it worked for about an hour before it started vibrating again.
Defect spins in silicon carbide have become promising platforms with respect to quantum information processing and quantum sensing. Indeed, the optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of defect spins is the cornerstone of the applications. In this work, we systematically investigate the contrast and linewidth of...
In Mexico City, the former CIA assassin and presently an alcoholic decadent man John Creasy (Denzel Washington) is hired by the industrialist Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony), with the recommendation of his old friend Rayburn (Christopher Walken), to be the bodyguard of his young daughter Pita (Dakota Fanning) and his wife ...
We study a rate-independent system with non-convex energy and in the case of a time-discontinuous loading. We prove existence of the rate-dependent viscous regularization by time-incremental problems, while the existence of the so called parameterized $BV$-solutions is obtained via vanishing viscosity in a suitable p...
Product has some issues. As far as cooking it is a great product; we use it frequently for fast meals This is a great product; we use it frequently for fast meals. Makes the meat so tender. Hard-cooked eggs or apple sauce in 6 minutes. No longer have to soak beans or peas for soup, makes them in a jiffy. Changing my i...
Perhaps being a former Moscovite myself and having an elastic sense of humor prevents me from tossing this movie into the 'arthouse/festival crap' trashcan. It's not the greatest film of 2005, nor is it complete garbage. It just has a lot of problems. I also sincerely doubt this movie was banned due to any 'ideological...
Using robots to harvest sweet peppers in protected cropping environments has remained unsolved despite considerable effort by the research community over several decades. In this paper, we present the robotic harvester, Harvey, designed for sweet peppers in protected cropping environments that achieved a 76.5% succes...
The asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the gradient test statistic is derived for a composite hypothesis under a sequence of Pitman alternative hypotheses converging to the null hypothesis at rate $n^{-1/2}$, $n$ being the sample size. Comparisons of the local powers of the gradient, likelihood ratio, Wald a...
The recent experimental data of the weak charges of Cesium and proton is analyzed in the framework of the models based on the $\mbox{SU}(3)_C\times \mbox{SU}(3)_L \times \mbox{U}(1)_X$ (3-3-1) gauge group, including the 3-3-1 model with CKS mechanism (3-3-1CKS) and the general 3-3-1 models with arbitrary $\beta$ (3-3...
We test the truncated disc models using multiwavelength (optical/UV/X-ray) data from the 2005 hard state outburst of the black hole SWIFT J1753.5-0127. This system is both fairly bright and has fairly low interstellar absorption, so gives one of the best datasets to study the weak, cool disc emission in this state. W...
In this paper, we study isogeny graphs of supersingular elliptic curves. Supersingular isogeny graphs were introduced as a hard problem into cryptography by Charles, Goren, and Lauter for the construction of cryptographic hash functions [CGL06]. These are large expander graphs, and the hard problem is to find an effi...
Federated Learning allows multiple parties to jointly train a deep learning model on their combined data, without any of the participants having to reveal their local data to a centralized server. This form of privacy-preserving collaborative learning however comes at the cost of a significant communication overhead ...
This is a great documentary film. Any fan of car racing should own a copy of this outstanding film. Director "Stephen Low" did a great job,as well as the main stars of the film, Father & Son, Mario & Michael Andretti. The DVD looks & sounds amazing. And best of all it's IMAX! Great home theater test disc.
The history of gene families -- which are equivalent to event-labeled gene trees -- can to some extent be reconstructed from empirically estimated evolutionary event-relations containing pairs of orthologous, paralogous or xenologous genes. The question then arises as whether inferred event-labeled gene trees are "bi...
In this paper we explore a family of congruences over $\N^\ast$ from which one builds a sequence of symmetric matrices related to the Mertens function. From the results of numerical experiments, we formulate a conjecture about the growth of the quadratic norm of these matrices, which implies the Riemann hypothesis....
We study the effects of a fourth generation t' quark in various extensions of the standard model. In the Randall-Sundrum model, the decay t'--> t Z has a large branching ratio that could be detected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We also look at the two-Higgs doublet models I, II and III, and note that, in the l...
This paper studies the $r$-range search problem for curves under the continuous Fr\'echet distance: given a dataset $S$ of $n$ polygonal curves and a threshold $r>0$, construct a data structure that, for any query curve $q$, efficiently returns all entries in $S$ with distance at most $r$ from $q$. We propose FRESH, ...
Branching process approximation to the initial stages of an epidemic process has been used since the 1950's as a technique for providing stochastic counterparts to deterministic epidemic threshold theorems. One way of describing the approximation is to construct both branching and epidemic processes on the same proba...
We design and analyze a new adaptive stabilized finite element method. We construct a discrete approximation of the solution in a continuous trial space by minimizing the residual measured in a dual norm of a discontinuous test space that has inf-sup stability. We formulate this residual minimization as a stable sadd...
It's Alright For one bottle of this I don't see why it would take more than 4 days. Unless you have the time to wait, I suggest buying from someone faster. I forgot I even bought this it took so long. It doesn't dry out my cuticles or dry up my skin like the remover I have now by Onyx. But it does take a bit to just r...
Computational formulations for large strain, polyconvex, nearly incompressible elasticity have been extensively studied, but research on enhancing solution schemes that offer better tradeoffs between accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency remains to be highly relevant. In this paper, we present two method...
We consider global geometric properties of a codimension one manifold embedded in Euclidean space, as it evolves under an isotropic and volume preserving Brownian flow of diffeomorphisms. In particular, we obtain expressions describing the expected rate of growth of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures, or intrinsic volu...
In Refs.[1] and [2], calculation of effective resistances on distance-regular networks was investigated, where in the first paper, the calculation was based on the stratification of the network and Stieltjes function associated with the network, whereas in the latter one a recursive formula for effective resistances ...
In the context of the Semantic Web, several approaches to the combination of ontologies, given in terms of theories of classical first-order logic and rule bases, have been proposed. They either cast rules into classical logic or limit the interaction between rules and ontologies. Autoepistemic logic (AEL) is an attr...
One of the reasons why it is hard to get accurate buyer information, is that the information we do have is deliberately withheld. It took an FOI from the Northshore News to get the BC Liberal government to release stats on the number of foreign buyers in West and North Vancouver. You have to ask yourself why, oh why...
