For line spectrum estimation, we derive the maximum a posteriori probability estimator where prior knowledge of frequencies is modeled probabilistically. Since the spectrum is periodic, an appropriate distribution is the circular von Mises distributi...
In this paper we develop a method for learning nonlinear systems with multiple outputs and inputs. We begin by modelling the errors of a nominal predictor of the system using a latent variable framework. Then using the maximum likelihood principle we...
Chances of a gambler are always lower than chances of a casino in the case of an ideal, mathematically perfect roulette, if the capital of the gambler is limited and the minimum and maximum allowed bets are limited by the casino. However, a realistic...
This study examines how interest rate caps affect the demand for payday loans, using aggregate data from British Columbia (2012--2019) during which the province's maximum fee was reduced from $23 to $17 and then to \$15 per $100 borrowed. Estimating...
The uncertainties associated with technology- and geography-specific degradation rates make it difficult to calculate the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), and thus the economic viability of solar energy. In this regard, millions of fielded photovolta...
We study the stable matching problem in non-bipartite graphs with incomplete but strict preference lists, where the edges have weights and the goal is to compute a stable matching of minimum or maximum weight. This problem is known to be NP-hard in g...
Dec 26, 2020 · For the spin control on a break cue, I prefer a phenolic base with a pig skin covering, like the tiger emerald. For just maximum power and use with a jump cue, I love the white diamond tip.
Dec 5, 2017 · I've been running this SQL query regularly for about a year now to keep track of SQL sessions because, if maximum sessions is exceeded for a particular Azure service tier, the web app â¦
Hydraulic presses with flexible punching systems for different production needs. Maximum precision in punching machines thanks to our Diper feeders. Different systems tailored to production needs and …
Significant beam loss caused by the charge exchange processes and ions impact induced outgassing play a crucial role in the limitation of the maximum number of accumulated heavy ions during the high intensity operation in the accelerators. With the a...
We investigate the microscopic origin of black hole entropy, in particular the gap between the maximum entropy of ordinary matter and that of black holes. Using curved space, we construct configurations with entropy greater than their area in Planc...
In this short communication, we qualitatively analyze possible effects of the 10 October 2024 geomagnetic storm on accelerating the reentry of a Starlink satellite from very low-Earth orbit (VLEO). The storm took place near the maximum of solar cycle...
(abridged) We apply the Jeans equation to estimate masses for eight of the brightest dSph galaxies. For Fornax we obtain a model-independent constraint on the maximum-circular velocity, Vmax=18_{-3}^{+5} km/s. Although we obtain only lower-limits o...
**? Overview** This update includes: * Balance changes to missions, stratagems, weapons, enemies and Helldivers. * General fixes and stability improvements. * Maximum level cap raised to 15...
We determine the maximum lifetime t_max of 52 FRII radio sources found in 26 central group galaxies from cross correlation of the Berlind SDSS group catalog with the VLA FIRST survey. Mock catalogs of FRII sources were produced to match the selecti...
We consider geometric flow equations for contracting and expanding normal velocities, including powers of the Gauss curvature, of the mean curvature, and of the norm of the second fundamental form, and ask whether - after appropriate rescaling - clos...
Variational system identification is a new formulation of maximum likelihood for estimation of parameters of dynamical systems subject to process and measurement noise, such as aircraft flying in turbulence. This formulation is an alternative to the...
A granular gripper is a device used to hold objects by taking advantage of the phenomenon of Reynold's dilatancy. A membrane containing a granular sample is allowed to deform around the object to be held and then vacuum is used to jam the granular ma...

The temporal and spatial trends of 16 climate extreme indices based on daily maximum and minimum temperatures during the period 1987-2016 at 28 stations distributed across Israel and Palestine in the Levant region were annually and seasonally analyse...
