Motivated by recent models involving off-centre ignition of type Ia supernova explosions, we undertake three-dimensional time-dependent radiation transport simulations to investigate the range of bolometric light curve properties that could be observed from supernovae in which there is a lop-sided distribution of the products from nuclear burning. We consider both a grid of artificial toy model...

What happens when machines become more intelligent than humans? One view is that this event will be followed by an explosion to ever-greater levels of intelligence, as each generation of machines creates more intelligent machines in turn. This intelligence explosion is now often known as the “singularity”. The basic argument here was set out by the statistician I. J. Good in his 1965 article “S...

The information explosion has led to problems and possibilities in many areas of society, including that of law enforcement. In comparing individual criminal investigations on similarity, we seize one of the opportunities of the information surplus to determine what crimes may or may not have been committed by the same group of individuals. For this purpose we introduce a new distance measure t...

Abstract Aiming at the arched structure in field of defense engineering, it is significant military value and theoretical innovation to investigate failure mode evolution characteristic under blast loading. First, a full-time simulation underground loading carried ou. Then, displacement studied. Finally, crack The numerical indicates that dispalcement concrete near midpoint straight wall right ...
