Translated Attributes as a Choice Architecture Tool: Trick and Treat

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...

Staggered Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Fourth-Root Trick

Staggered chiral perturbation theory (S χ PT) takes into account the " fourth-root trick " for reducing unwanted (taste) degrees of freedom with staggered quarks by multiplying the contribution of each sea quark loop by a factor of 1/4. In the special case of four staggered fields (four flavors, n F = 4), I show here that certain assumptions about analyticity and phase structure imply the valid...

Disease Tolerance Trick or Treat: Give Your Brain Something Good to Eat

The reprioritization of feeding motivations during disease is proposed to optimize host defense strategies against infection. Now, Wang et al. identify that sickness-induced anorexia differentially shapes the metabolic requirements of cellular stress adaptations, leading to opposite impact on disease tolerance upon bacterial versus viral infections.

An introduction to the mechanics of the lasso.

Trick roping evolved from humble origins as a cattle-catching tool into a sport that delights audiences all over the world with its complex patterns or 'tricks'. Its fundamental tool is the lasso, formed by passing one end of a rope through a small loop (the honda) at the other end. Here, we study the mechanics of the simplest rope trick, the Flat Loop, in which the rope is driven by the steady...
