This paper is an answer to the first part of Adrian Kent's One World versus Many : the Inadequacy of Everettian Accounts of Evolution, Probability, and Scientific Confirmation [arXiv:0905.0624]. We take issue with Kent's arguments against many-world...
We present GalMC (Acquaviva et al 2011), our publicly available Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for SED fitting, show the results obtained for a stacked sample of Lyman Alpha Emitting galaxies at z ~ 3, and discuss the dependence of the inferred S...
We consider three families of lattices on the oscillator group $G$, which is an almost nilpotent not completely solvable Lie group, giving rise to coverings $G \to M_{k, 0} \to M_{k, π} \to M_{k, π/2}$ for $k\in \Z$. We show that the corresponding...
We explore the effect of Shor state construction methods on logical state encoding and quantum error correction for the [[7,1,3]] Calderbank-Shor-Steane quantum error correction code in a nonequiprobable error environment. We determine the optimum nu...
We calculate the double differential distributions and distributions in recoil momenta for the high energy non-relativistic double photoionization of helium. We show that the results of recent experiments is the pioneering experimental manifestation...
The book "N-ary Groups" (in Russian) consists of two Parts. It is intended on the one hand as an initial introduction to the theory of n-ary groups, and on the other hand it contains the published results by the author on this subject. At present, th...
Let p be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category R_p of finite p-groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite p-groups among its objects. In R_p, every finite p-group P admits a canonical direct summand, call...
We establish a lower bound for the size of possible counterexamples of the Dixmier Conjecture. We prove that $B>15$, where $B$ is the minimum of the greatest common divisor of the total degrees of $P$ and $Q$, where $(P,Q)$ runs over the counterexamp...
Wind energy is the most mature renewable energy technology, however, its exploitation in cities is often met with skepticism. Thanks to their ability to operate effectively at low wind from any direction, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer an...
Including derivative information in the modelling of moving interfaces has been proposed as one method to increase the accuracy of numerical schemes with minimal additional cost. Here a new level set reinitialization technique using the fast marching...
We show that the q-Digamma function psi_q for 0<q<1 appears in an iteration studied by Berg and Durán. In addition we determine the probability measure ν_q with moments 1/\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} (1-q)/(1-q^k), which are q-analogues of the reciprocals of t...
With the eminent confirmation or disproof of the existence of Higgs boson by experiments on the LHC it is time to analyze in a non-dogmatic way the suggestions to understand the origin of the mass. Here we analyze the recent proposal according to whi...
We give a general overview about the approaches to study the phase diagram of QCD. Thereafter, we examine the evolution of a fireball in a chiral fluid dynamic model including nonequilibrium effects....
The status of R&D activities for CLIC module acquisition are discussed [1]. LAPP is involved in the design of the local CLIC module acquisition crate, described in the document Study of the CLIC Module Front-End Acquisition and Evaluation Electronics...
The NASA Kepler mission -in flight since March 2009- is producing an enormous number of high-quality continuous light curves. Now, and for the first time ever, we are able to do ensemble asteroseismology, i.e., to do an asteroseismic analysis with a...
We study the design and approximation of optimal crowdsourcing contests. Crowdsourcing contests can be modeled as all-pay auctions because entrants must exert effort up-front to enter. Unlike all-pay auctions where a usual design objective would be t...
`Global' symmetries, such as the boost invariance of classical mechanics and special relativity, can give rise to direct empirical counterparts such as the Galileo-ship phenomenon. However, a widely accepted line of thought holds that `local' symmetr...
We measure the dependence of qubit phase coherence and surface spin induced flux noise on inductor loop geometry. While wider inductor traces change neither the flux noise power spectrum nor the qubit dephasing time, increased inductance leads to a s...
哔哩漫游，解除B站客户端番剧区域限制的Xposed模块，并且提供其他小功能。An Xposed module that unblocks bangumi area limit of BILIBILI with miscellaneous features. (⭐ 11113)
The stochastic mutual repressor model is analysed using perturbation methods. This simple model of a gene circuit consists of two genes and three promotor states. Either of the two protein products can dimerize, forming a repressor molecule that bind...
