Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals, typically including metals, concentrated above background levels, and that
Background: Humor is a fundamental part of human communication, with prior work linking positive humor in the workplace to positive outcomes, such as improved performance and job satisfaction. Aims: This study aims to investigate programming-related...
We present a method that decomposes, or "unwraps", an input video into a set of layered 2D atlases, each providing a unified representation of the appearance of an object (or background) over the video. For each pixel in the video, our method estimat...
Background. The mass transition to remote work amid the COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected software professionals, who abruptly shifted into ostensibly temporary home offices. The effects of this transition on these professionals are complex, depe...
Reading seal title text is a challenging task due to the variable shapes of seals, curved text, background noise, and overlapped text. However, this important element is commonly found in official and financial scenarios, and has not received the att...
We use the integrated spectrum of the X-ray background and quasars Spectral Energy Distribution to derive the contribution of quasars to the energy output of the Universe. We find a lower limit for the energy from accretion onto black holes of 6%,...
The spectrum of the Dirac Hamiltonian in the background of crossing vortices is studied. To exploit the index theorem, and in analogy to the lattice the space-time manifold is chosen to be the four-torus $\T^4$. For sake of simplicity we consider t...
Heat kernel coefficients encode the short distance behavior of propagators in the presence of background fields, and are thus useful in quantum field theory. We present a Mathematica program for computing these coefficients and their derivatives, b...
## Political Background In 1998, Hugo Chávez was elected as President of Venezuela on a populist platform, which he implemented by [consolidating state control over the economy](https://www.nytimes....
Most previous research on online discussions of atheism has focused on atheism within a Christian context. In contrast, discussions about atheism in the Arab world and from Islamic background are relatively poorly studied. An added complication is th...
What drew you to architectural engineering? Where do you work? Whats your background? Can they work on all types of structures - such as airports, wharfs, bridges, or are they limited to buildings? ...
Background: Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have become prevalent in software engineering research. Several researchers may conduct SLRs on similar topics without a prospective register for SLR protocols. However, even ignoring these unavoidable...
Yet Anoter Torrent Player (YATP) is a torrent streaming video plugin for Kodi. It allows to watch video torrents in Kodi while downloading them in the background. The plugin can also be used as a simple …
Just a quick background I have family in deland so I vist often ( 5 times a year) I fell in love with deland and want to move here for good. Any advice? anyone regret moving here ? I am from the north...
Background and Purpose: Increasing the number of arcs in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) allows for better intensity modulation and may improve plan quality. However, this leads to longer delivery times, which may cause patient discomfort and...
We discuss how to embed quantum nonlocality in an approximately classical spacetime background, a question which must be answered irrespective of any underlying microscopic theory of spacetime. We argue that, in deterministic hidden-variables theor...
Based on the consideration of naturalness and physical facts in Einstein's theories of relativity, a nontrivial spacetime physical picture, which has a slight difference from the standard one, is introduced by making a further distinction on the abso...
We demonstrate that a background rotation significantly catalyzes the chiral magnetovortical instability in chiral magnetohydrodynamics. The rotation splits the linearly polarized Alfven wave into two circularly polarized magneto-Coriolis waves, one...
Just got off the Vista after the new years sailing. New boat and all new ports for me (and, all just my opinions). For background, I sail 1-2 times a year on carnival and other lines! The ship and ge...
Several different methods have recently been proposed for calculating the motion of a point particle coupled to a linearized gravitational field on a curved background. These proposals are motivated by the hope that the point particle system will a...
