Modern cloud computing systems distribute software executables over a network to keep the software sources, which are typically compiled in a security-critical cluster, secret. We develop ERIC, a new, efficient, and general software obfuscation frame...
This two-part contribution to the Proceedings of the Eighth Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics is devoted to the evolution of a massless scalar field in two black-hole spacetimes which are not asymptotically fla...
Long reads produced by third-generation sequencing technologies are used to construct an assembly (i.e., the subject's genome), which is further used in downstream genome analysis. Unfortunately, long reads have high sequencing error rates and a larg...
Elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluid flows are driven by a non-trivial interplay between the elastic, viscous, and plastic properties, which under certain conditions can transition the otherwise laminar flow into complex flow instabilities with rich space-...
Multiple citizenship (or multiple nationality) is a person's legal status in which a person is at the same time recognized by more than one country under
Two is a noun when it refers to the number two as in two plus two is four. The word two is derived from the Old English words twā (feminine), tū (neuter), and twēġen (masculine, which survives …
By far the most complicated mechanic in Suzerain is a constitutional assembly vote. Since the game hides almost all the information from you, I want to clarify which decisions impact the vote and how …
Child sexual abuse (CSA), also called child molestation, is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation
sphincter, which may be useful in case of fecal incontinence or neurologic diseases, including traumatic spinal cord injuries; traditionally, the digital rectal
Jul 12, 2023 · The free version uses gpt3.5. The paid version gives you access to the best model gpt4. You also get to test out beta features. Right now that is plug-ins (which allow chatgpt to do things like …
We construct a sequence of functions that uniformly converge (on compact sets) to the price of Asian option, which is written on a stock whose dynamics follows a jump diffusion, exponentially fast. Each of the element in this sequence solves a para...
We have studied experimentally transport properties in a slowly driven granular system which recently was shown to display self-organized criticality [Frette {\em et al., Nature} {\bf 379}, 49 (1996)]. Tracer particles were added to a pile and thei...

FACT definition: that which actually exists or is the case; reality or truth. See examples of fact used in a sentence.
Active aging technologies are increasingly designed to support an active lifestyle. However, the way in which they are designed can raise different barriers to acceptance of and use by older adults. Their designers can adopt a negative stereotype of...
Coventry is symbolized by the ruins of its cathedral, which was heavily bombed—along with the rest of the city—during World War II. While the Midlands metropolis is a convenient gateway to …
Toxicity detection algorithms, originally designed with reactive content moderation in mind, are increasingly being deployed into proactive end-user interventions to moderate content. Through a socio-technical lens and focusing on contexts in which t...
This paper studies the map between polyhedral products $\mathcal{Z}_K(C\underline{X},\underline{X})\to\mathcal{Z}_K(Σ\underline{X},*)$ induced from the pinch maps $(CX_i,X_i)\to(ΣX_i,*)$, which is the higher order Whitehead product if $K$ is the bo...
Quantum thermal states are known to be passive, as required by the second law of thermodynamics. This paper investigates the potential for work extraction by coupling a thermal bath to a qubit of either spin, fermionic, or topological type, which act...
