To address the issues that arise due to the manual navigation of guidewires in endovascular interventions, research in medical robotics has taken a strong interest in developing robotically steerable guidewires, which offer the possibility of enhance...
This study proposes a strengthening method employing square corrugated steel jackets as external confinement, which significantly enhances both the bearing capacity and ductility of existing reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Axial compression tests w...
A major source of risk in project management is inaccurate forecasts of project costs, demand, and other impacts. The paper presents a promising new approach to mitigating such risk, based on theories of decision making under uncertainty which won th...
renamed the Axim Collaborative. Open edX was designed for the MITx project, which was renamed to the edX project and made into a separate 501(c)3 after
Stack Overflow is widely regarded as the most popular Community driven Question Answering (CQA) website for programmers. Questions posted on Stack Overflow which are not related to programming topics, are marked as 'closed' by experienced users and c...
We discuss the consequences of unique symmetry of de Sitter spacetime, which is invariant under the modified translations, ${\bf r}\rightarrow {\bf r} -e^{Ht}{\bf a}$, where $H$ is the Hubble parameter. Due to this symmetry, all the comoving observer...

processes, cycle stock is the available inventory, excluding buffer stock. De-coupling: Buffer stock held between the machines in a single process which serves
unacceptable/unnecessary The order fulfilment strategy also determines the de-coupling point in the supply chain, which describes the point in the system where
Tidal disruption and subsequent accretion of planetesimals by white dwarfs can reveal the elemental abundances of rocky bodies in exoplanetary systems. Those abundances provide information on the composition of the nebula from which the systems forme...
We study graphs with the property that every edge-colouring admits a monochromatic cycle (the length of which may depend freely on the colouring) and describe those graphs that are minimal with this property. We show that every member in this class r...

The reliability function of variable-rate Slepian-Wolf coding is linked to the reliability function of channel coding with constant composition codes, through which computable lower and upper bounds are derived. The bounds coincide at rates close to...
In 1956 Marguerite Frank and Paul Wolfe proved that a quadratic function which is bounded below on a polyhedron $P$ attains its infimum on $P$. In this work we search for larger classes of sets $F$ with this Frank-and-Wolfe property. We establish the...
A Clifford-Wolf translation of a connected Finsler space is an isometry which moves each point the same distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous if for any two points $x_1, x_2\in M$ there is a Clifford-Wolf translation...

We restate Kay's 1998 hypothesis which simultaneously offers an objective definition for the entropy of a closed system, a microscopic foundation for the Second Law, a resolution of the Information Loss (and other) Black-Hole Puzzle(s) and an objec...

In this paper, we investigate the calibration of radio interferometers in which Jones matrices are considered to model the interaction between the incident electromagnetic field and the antennas of each station. Specifically, perturbation effects are...
Ottomans destroyed the Serbian army, which is why the battle was known as "sırp sındığı" (destruction of Serbs). The battle was the first attempt to throw
