This project is motivated by the costs related with the documented risks of the introduction of non-native invasive species of plants, animals, or pathogens associated with travel and international trade. Such invasive species often have no natural e...
We calculate the probability distribution of repetitions of ancestors in a genealogical tree for simple neutral models of a closed population with sexual reproduction and non-overlapping generations. Each ancestor at generation g in the past has a...
fatto riferimento ai "viri probati", ma quest’ ipotesi è stata valutata come una strada da non percorrere" (Some made reference to viri probati, but this
In this paper, we focus on the throughput of random access with power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and derive bounds on the throughput. In particular, we demonstrate that the expression for the throughput derived in [1] is an upper-bo...
We consider billiards in a (1/2)-by-1 rectangle with a barrier midway along a vertical side. Let NE be the set of directions theta such that the flow in direction theta is not ergodic. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set NE is either 0...
We look at the possibility of non-perturbative particle production after inflation from SUSY flat directions produced by rotating eigenstates thereby avoiding the standard adiabaticity conditions. This might lead to preheating and prevent the delay...
The direction dependence of the event rate in WIMP direct detection experiments provides a powerful tool for distinguishing WIMP events from potential backgrounds. We use a variety of (non-parametric) statistical tests to examine the number of even...
Although neural conversation models are effective in learning how to produce fluent responses, their primary challenge lies in knowing what to say to make the conversation contentful and non-vacuous. We present a new end-to-end approach to contentful...
The Conversation is a network of nonprofit media outlets publishing news stories and research reports online, authored by academics with professional journalist
Last festival season I used a few different brands and none did the trick and I’d end up using foam ones. I’ll be getting customs made soon but in the meantime I’m thinking about trying Hears br...
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women, with HER2 status critically guiding treatment decisions. Noninvasive prediction of HER2 status from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) could streamline diagnostics and reduce reliance on biops...
Non-volatile memory arrays can deploy pre-trained neural network models for edge inference. However, these systems are affected by device-level noise and retention issues. Here, we examine damage caused by these effects, introduce a mitigation strate...
High-energy cosmic neutrinos carry unique information about the most energetic non-thermal sources in the Universe. This white paper describes the outstanding astrophysics questions that neutrino astronomy can address in the coming decade. A companio...
In this paper, we show that the friends-and-strangers problem is PSPACE-complete by reduction from the Ncl (non-deterministic constraint logic) problem....
This paper replies the comments by J. D. Jackson [Am. J. Phys. 75, 844-845 (2007)] and V. Hnizdo [Am. J. Phys. 75, 845-846 (2007)]....
agriculture, stunting describes a plant disease that results in dwarfing and loss of vigor. It may be caused by infectious or noninfectious means. Stunted growth
Two recent electrical incidents demonstrate how the design of equipment encouraged electrical workers to take actions that violated NFPA 70E principles. The features that encouraged non-compliant work execution will be described, as well as how the e...
And we apply our assiduous approach and next-level research skills to more than 1,000 product categories, including washing machines, TVs, artificial Christmas trees, bath towels, nonstick pans ...
The inanimate whose refers to the use in English of the relative pronoun whose with non-personal antecedents, as in: "That's the car whose alarm keeps waking
This paper introduces double cascaded reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks over cascaded Rician fading and Nakagami-$m$ fading channels, where two kinds of passive RIS (PRIS) and active RIS (ARI...
