Professor Richard H. Dalitz passed away on January 13, 2006. He was almost 81 years old and his outstanding contributions are intimately connected to some of the major breakthroughs of the 20th century in particle and nuclear physics. These outstandi...
With the rise of Wikipedia as a first-stop source for scientific knowledge, it is important to compare its representation of that knowledge to that of the academic literature. Here we identify the 250 most heavily used journals in each of 26 research...
A new metric is introduced, inspired by the Hirsch {\it h-index}, to measure the impact of a wiki site. A table of wikiFactors is presented for a number of wikis, in particular those oriented towards scientific topics. The wikiFactor is defined as...

The work presented in this paper makes three scientific contributions with a specific focus on mining and analysis of COVID-19-related posts on Instagram. First, it presents a multilingual dataset of 500,153 Instagram posts about COVID-19 published b...
A brief recollection is made of the many scientific collaborations of Bologna with colleagues from Developing Countries. In particular are discussed in detail the collaborations in some recent Astroparticle Physics experiments....
We present COGNAC, a novel strategy for compiling quantum circuits based on numerical optimization algorithms from scientific computing. Observing that shorter-duration "partially entangling" gates tend to be less noisy than the typical "maximally en...
An overview of the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) is presented. Emphasis is on current capabilities of direct interest to the scientific user community, including instruments. Educational services and prospects and strategies for the future are dis...
interpreted and what kinds of scientific evidence are most relevant to the rescheduling decision. The Act provides a process for rescheduling controlled substances
The requirements for accurate numerical simulation are increasing constantly. Modern high precision physics experiments now exceed the achievable numerical accuracy of standard commercial and scientific simulation tools. One example are optical reson...
**evidence-based answer** There is no scientific evidence that short men, as a group, are more emotionally reactive, angry, or easily offended than taller men. What does exist are social stereotypes...
From discovery to insight, our research applies the scientific method to uncover truths that inform strategy and creative direction.
I know this might ruffle some feathers, but after diving deep into the research, I've come to a disturbing conclusion: **Ayurveda is significantly more harmful than homeopathy**, and here's the scient...
Extrasolar planets are not named and are referred to only by their assigned scientific designation. The reason given by the IAU to not name the planets is that it is considered impractical as planets are expected to be common. I advance some reason...
This space has been created for you to explore the wealth and diversity of the activities and actions that take place on TotalEnergies’ site in Pau (the CSTJF in Pau and the PERL in Lacq). We are keen to …
From 22 to 26 June 2020, we hosted ESO's first live e-conference, #H02020, from within ESO headquarters in Garching, Germany. Every day, between 200 and 320 researchers around the globe tuned in to discuss the nature and implications of the discord b...
Recent advances in Scientific Machine Learning have shown that second-order methods can enhance the training of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), making them a suitable alternative to traditional numerical methods for Partial Differential Equ...
A museum is an institution dedicated to displaying and preserving culturally or scientifically significant objects. Many museums have exhibitions of these
