About 200 X-ray sources from a sample of spectrally hard ROSAT PSPC sources, given in the catalog of Haberl & Pietsch (1999), and observed in a ~60 square degree field of the LMC during several archival pointed observations with a wide range of exp...
Background: Despite the consensus that vaccines play an important role in combating the global spread of infectious diseases, vaccine inequity is still rampant with deep-seated mentality of self-priority. This study aims to evaluate the existence and...
This document presents an overview of the bayesmixedlogit and bayesmixedlogitwtp Stata packages. It mirrors closely the helpfile obtainable in Stata (i.e., through help bayesmixedlogit or help bayesmixedlogitwtp). Further background for the packages...
Background and Objectives: Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) represent the foremost methodology for sharing state-of-the-art research findings in the healthcare domain with medical practitioners to limit practice variations, reduce clinical cost, i...
Agora enables more natural voice conversations with AI, thanks to low-latency responses and real-time interruption handling. Agora’s built-in background noise suppression, echo cancelation, and selective …
Since the Galactic center is ~1000 times brighter than fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), CMB experiments must carefully account for stray Galactic pickup. We present the level of contamination due to sidelobes for the year one...
The WMAP satellite has completed 3 years of observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The 3-year data products include several sets of full sky maps of the Stokes I, Q and U parameters in 5 frequency bands, spanning 23 to 94 GHz, a...
The WMAP satellite has completed one year of measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation using 20 differential high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT) based radiometers. All the radiometers are functioning nominally, and charac...
background: I grew up in the 60s and 70s where were totally indoctrinated *low sodium, low fat.* In the 80s we learned to drink lots of water. Now at my latest checkup and blood test I find that I...
Semantic classes can be either things (objects with a well-defined shape, e.g. car, person) or stuff (amorphous background regions, e.g. grass, sky). While lots of classification and detection works focus on thing classes, less attention has been giv...
I come from a finance background (accounting/financial analysis), but I've become increasingly interested in learning SEO to create some side income opportunities. I'm not looking to become an expert ...
We study new FRW type cosmological models of modified gravity treated on the background of Palatini approach. These models are generalization of Einstein gravity by the presence of a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the curvature. The models emp...
Background: The Cox model and its extensions assuming proportional hazards is widely used to estimate vaccine efficacy (VE). In the typical situation that VE wanes over time, the VE estimates are not only sensitive to study duration and timing of vac...
Background: Trans-spinal FUS (tsFUS) has recently been shown promise in modulating spinal reflexes in rodents, opening new avenues for spinal cord interventions in motor control and pain management. However, anatomical differences between rodents and...
Hairstyle transfer is a challenging task in the image editing field that modifies the hairstyle of a given face image while preserving its other appearance and background features. The existing hairstyle transfer approaches heavily rely on StyleGAN,...

Background: The existence of different basal cell carcinoma (BCC) clinical criteria cannot be objectively validated. An adequate ground-truth is needed to train an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that explains the BCC diagnosis by providing its der...
Background. From information theory, surprisal is a measurement of how unexpected an event is. Statistical language models provide a probabilistic approximation of natural languages, and because surprisal is constructed with the probability of an eve...
In this paper, I aim to articulate and investigate the philosophical implications and inherent symbolism surrounding the mathematical properties of Ouroboros spaces and their respective functions. Initially, I provide a brief historical background ex...
