We test the ability of the TRILEGAL and Besancon models to reproduce the CMD of SDSS data at the north Galactic pole (NGP). We show that a Hess diagram analysis of colour-magnitude diagrams is much more powerful than luminosity functions (LFs) in det...
We have used the self-consistent vertical disc models of the solar neighbourhood presented in Just & Jahreiss (2010), which are based on different star formation histories (SFR) and fit the local kinematics of main sequence stars equally well, to pre...
The increasing number of users with multiple mobile devices underscores the importance of understanding how users interact, often simultaneously, with these multiple devices. However, most device based monitoring studies have focused only on a single...
The SuperNova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a space-based experiment to measure the expansion history of the Universe and study both its dark energy and the dark matter. The experiment is motivated by the startling discovery that the expansion of...
We report on the discovery of a super-Li rich turn-off star in the old (12 Gyr), metal poor ([Fe/H]=-2.1 dex) globular cluster (GC) NGC 6397, based on high-resolution MIKE/Magellan spectra. This star shows an unusually high lithium abundance of A(Li)...
WIYN/HYDRA spectra in the Li 6708 Angstrom region have been obtained for 332 probable members of the old open cluster, NGC 6819. Preliminary analysis shows a pattern of Li depletion from the top of the turnoff to the base of the giant branch. Startin...
We propose and investigate feasibility of a novel task that consists in finding e-sports talent using multimodal Twitch chat and video stream data. In that, we focus on predicting the ranks of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) gamers who broad...
This article describes the setup and performance of the near and far detectors in the Double Chooz experiment. The electron antineutrinos of the Chooz nuclear power plant were measured in two identically designed detectors with different average base...
At eBay, there are thousands of product health metrics for different domain teams to monitor. We built a two-phase alerting system to notify users with actionable alerts based on anomaly detection and alert retrieval. In the first phase, we developed...
later set out to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology. The
We present an end-to-end computer vision pipeline to detect non-nutritive sucking (NNS) -- an infant sucking pattern with no nutrition delivered -- as a potential biomarker for developmental delays, using off-the-shelf baby monitor video footage. One...
A strategy for playing the game of roulette is presented in this paper. The strategy is based on the same probabilistic argument that leads to the well-known Birthday Paradox in Probability theory. Following the strategy, a player will have a positiv...
Problem Roulette (PR) is a web-based study service at the University of Michigan that offers random-within-topic access to a large library of past exam problems in introductory physics courses. Built on public-private cloud computing infrastructure,...
This is a project based on the TMDB API, whose function is to show the trending films, the best rated and the characteristics of each one. This project was created using TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Next.js and The Movie Database. (⭐ 0)
Companion code for "Uncertainty-Driven Active Vision for Implicit Scene Reconstruction". This repository contains the code base for a Next Best View (NBV) task along with our proposed uncertainty driven solution and a set of baselines for comparison. (⭐ 33)
Daughter is a 2021 psychological drama film written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal (in her feature directorial debut), based on the 2006 novel by Elena Ferrante
Information freshness has attracted increasingly attention in the past decade as it plays a critical role in the emerging real-time applications. Age of information (AoI) holds the promise of effectively characterizing the information freshness, henc...
In location-based social networks (LBSNs), users sense urban point-of-interest (PoI) information in the vicinity and share such information with friends in online social networks. Given users' limited social connections and severe lags in disseminati...
In this work, a seismocardiogram (SCG) based breathing-state measuring method is proposed for m-health applications. The aim of the proposed framework is to assess the human respiratory system by identifying degree-of-breathings, such as breathlessne...
