Guys, don't undervalue tech-adjacent positions
I’m a senior engineer with 4 years of experience. My background is in linguistics, but I’ve been working as a data engineer ever since I graduated 4 years ago. For anyone who has gotten no tracti...
Medium Recoils and background subtraction in JEWEL
\textsc{Jewel} is a fully dynamical event generator for jet evolution in a dense QCD medium, which has been validated for multiple jet and jet-like observables. Jet constituents (partons) undergo collisions with thermal partons from the medium, leadi...
Possible Connection between Dark Energy and Electromagnetic Interactions
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. Please see [arXiv:1208.3224]. We investigate a model where dark energy is caused by the photon field coupling to gravitation. The cosmological background expectation value of the electromagnetic scalar po...
Please help. Dismissed from medical school
I've been dismissed from med school due to academic reasons. What other options do I have if I want to stay in medicine? I'm a 3rd/4th year now. Some background: I was almost done with my MD with jus...

Public Sector Open Source Software Projects -- How is development organized?
Background: Open Source Software (OSS) started as an effort of communities of volunteers, but its practices have been adopted far beyond these initial scenarios. For instance, the strategic use of OSS in industry is constantly growing nowadays in dif...
Bayesian uncertainty analysis for complex systems biology models: emulation, glo…
Background: Many mathematical models have now been employed across every area of systems biology. These models increasingly involve large numbers of unknown parameters, have complex structure which can result in substantial evaluation time relative t...
Train longer, generalize better: closing the generalization gap in large batch t…
Background: Deep learning models are typically trained using stochastic gradient descent or one of its variants. These methods update the weights using their gradient, estimated from a small fraction of the training data. It has been observed that wh...
Relationship between metabolic and genomic diversity in sesame (Sesamum indicum…
Background: Diversity estimates in cultivated plants provide a rationale for conservation strategies and support the selection of starting material for breeding programs. Diversity measures applied to crops usually have been limited to the assessment...
Mangago Full Library Access + Vanishing Reading Lists
hi! a little background about me, i've been in mgg for like 5 years now and i am not new to the system shutting down, going back up, etc, etc. i know it goes and comes back, and currently, my unrated ...
Reddit, what is the most memorable eulogy you have heard? I have to give my firs…
Some background: My Grandma was about 85 - we're not really sure as birth records in her country were sketchy back then. I am the oldest grandson and have been asked to give a eulogy. She passed away...
Naturalistic intuitionism for physics
Recently, a novel intuitionistic reconstruction of the foundations of physics has been primarily developed by Nicolas Gisin and Flavio Del Santo drawing on naturalism. Our goal in this paper is to examine and develop the philosophical background of t...
Characterizing Near-Infrared Sky Brightness in the Canadian High Arctic
We present the first measurements of the near-infrared (NIR), specifically the J-band, sky background in the Canadian High Arctic. There has been considerable recent interest in the development of an astronomical observatory in Ellesmere Island; init...
Discussion and Debate | Christian Forums
CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are …
Axiomatic approach to radiation reaction of scalar point particles in curved spa…
Several different methods have recently been proposed for calculating the motion of a point particle coupled to a linearized gravitational field on a curved background. These proposals are motivated by the hope that the point particle system will a...
Living Through Helene in Asheville - Reflections and lessons
Background: My family and I live in Asheville, NC, and last fall we rode out the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. I have been urban homesteading and low-level prepping just outside of the city since a f...
Hey /r/smashbros, would you mind helping me with getting good at Young Link?
Hey /r/smashbros! **First a little backgroundstory, you can skip that part if your not interested:** For a long time I've been struggeling to find a character that truly suits me. I tried out every ...
Second Season QUIET Observations: Measurements of the CMB Polarization Power Spe…
The Q/U Imaging ExperimenT (QUIET) has observed the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 43 and 95GHz. The 43-GHz results have been published in QUIET Collaboration et al. (2011), and here we report the measurement of CMB polarization power spectra u...
Discrete molecular dynamics studies of the folding of a protein-like model
Background: Many attempts have been made to resolve in time the folding of model proteins in computer simulations. Different computational approaches have emerged. Some of these approaches suffer from the insensitivity to the geometrical properties...
Neutrino forces in neutrino backgrounds
The Standard Model predicts a long-range force, proportional to $G_F^2/r^5$, between fermions due to the exchange of a pair of neutrinos. This quantum force is feeble and has not been observed yet. In this paper, we compute this force in the presence...
