The famous "Wow" signal detected in 1977 remains arguably the most compelling SETI ever found. original Big Ear data requires that turned on/off over span of ~3 minutes (time difference between dual antennae), yet persisted for 72 seconds (duration a single beam sweep). Combined with substantial and negative follow-up efforts, these observations limit allowed range repeat schedules, to extent o...

It would be desirable if computers could solve problems without the need for a human to write the detailed programmatic steps. That is, it would be desirable to have a domainindependent automatic programming technique in which "What You Want Is What You Get" ("WYWIWYG" – pronounced "wow-eee-wig"). Indeed, automatic programming is one of the central problems of computer science. Paraphrasing Art...

This paper describes the design, construction and operation of an electronic network providing an analogue of the behaviour of up to twelve coupled, second-order, linear differential equations. It was designed specifically for the solution of problems in aircraft flutter investigations but can be used for other associated problems or where a problem can be expressed in similar form. Section 1. 2.

Abstract The goal of information-seeking dialogue is to respond seeker queries with natural language utterances that are grounded on knowledge sources. However, systems often produce unsupported utterances, a phenomenon known as hallucination. To mitigate this behavior, we adopt data-centric solution and create FaithDial, new benchmark for hallucination-free dialogues, by editing hallucinated r...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether repetitive opening and closure of self-ligating bracket clips can cause plastic deformation of the clip. METHODS Three types of active/interactive ceramic self-ligating brackets (n = 20) were tested: In-Ovation C, Quicklear and WOW. A standardized controlled device performed 500 cycles of opening and closure movements of the bracket clip w...

We evaluated the War on Worms in the Western Visayas (WOW-V) school-based mass treatment strategy in Capiz, the Philippines by assessing potential determinants of program acceptance among parents, teachers, and local health and education officials involved. Written surveys were distributed to parents and teachers assessing knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding soil-transmitted helminth (...
