The Schoolgirl was a British weekly story paper aimed at girls. Published by Amalgamated Press (AP), The Schoolgirl ran in two series, the first from
Three-dimensional Catalan numbers are a variant of the classical (bidimensional) Catalan numbers, that count, among other interesting objects, the standard Young tableaux of shape (n,n,n). In this paper, we present a structural bijection between two...
This paper presents a named entity extraction system for detecting attributes in product titles of eCommerce retailers like Walmart. The absence of syntactic structure in such short pieces of text makes extracting attribute values a challenging probl...
Community rules play a key part in enabling or constraining the behaviors of members in online communities. However, little is unknown regarding whether and to what degree changing rules actually affects community dynamics. In this paper, we seek to...
This is the second in a series of papers aimed at developing a practical time-domain method for self-force calculations in Kerr spacetime. The key elements of the method are (i) removal of a singular part of the perturbation field with a suitable ana...
In this paper we study the space of solutions to an overdetermined linear system involving the Hessian of functions. We show that if the solution space has dimension greater than one, then the underlying manifold has a very rigid warped product struc...
Detection of thunderstorms is important to the wind hazard community to better understand extreme winds field characteristics and associated wind induced load effects on structures. This paper contributes to this effort by proposing a new course of r...

Nuclear Astrophysics is a vibrant field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics that encompasses research in nuclear physics, astrophysics, astronomy, and computational science. This paper is not a review. It is intended to provide an...
In this paper, we develop a logistic regression model to estimate the probability that a particular shot in an NHL game will result in a goal, and use the results to evaluate the performance of NHL skaters, goalies, and teams. We weight each shot bas...
This paper focuses on the effectiveness and efficiency of IT initiatives in rural areas where topology creates isolation to developmental activities. A village is selected for the study and information is gathered through interviews of village dwelle...
This paper considers a class of nonlinear systems consisting of a linear part with an external input and a nonlinear feedback with a backlash. Assuming that the latter is specified by a strongly convex set, we establish estimates for the Lyapunov exp...

In this paper we consider time-optimal control problems for systems with backlash. Such systems are described by second order differential equations coupled with restrictions modeling the inelastic shocks. A main feature of such systems is the lack o...
This paper describes the design of a robust controller for position control in systems with sandwiched backlash. The backlash, which is nonsmooth and nonlinear, is inevitable in the operation of many systems, but it can have destructive effects on th...
Following the overall strategy of the paper ``Convex hypersurfaces in contact topology" by Ko Honda and Yang Huang on contact convexity in high dimensions, we present a simplified proof of their main result....
