Upcoming microwave background experiments will see an incredible increase in the volume of data to be analyzed, which makes the choice of how it is discretized on the sky a crucial issue. I discuss criteria for evaluating different pixelizations an...
CONTRIBUTION: This paper presents an empirical study of an introductory-level programming course with students using multiple monitors and compares their performance and self-reported experiences versus students using a single monitor. BACKGROUND: Pr...
A Control Center-esque control with blurred background and toggle animations. (⭐ 2114)
A Sun outage, Sun transit, or Sun fade is an interruption in or distortion of geostationary satellite signals caused by interference (background noise)
Hey there. This is my first post here, so I'll give some brief background. I'm an Australian who's discovered Hinduism maybe two weeks ago. I've found it lines up with most of my values and I've becom...
Coupling fundamental quarks to QCD in the dual string representation corresponds to adding the open string sector. Flavors therefore should be represented by space-time filling D-branes in the dual 5d closed string background. This requires several...
We study the semi-classical dynamics of a scalar field in the background of a black hole in an asymptotically AdS (AAdS) spacetime, in the framework of the Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity. The small diffeomorphism (gauge) symmetries gen...
In this paper, we prove that there exists a dimensional constant $δ> 0$ such that given any background Kähler metric $ω$, the Calabi flow with initial data $u_0$ satisfying \begin{equation*} \partial \bar \partial u_0 \in L^\infty (M) \text{ and }...
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...
