We investigate the relation between the small deviation problem for a symmetric α-stable random vector in a Banach space and the metric entropy properties of the operator generating it. This generalizes former results due to Li and Linde and to Aurzada. It is shown that this problem is related to the study of the entropy numbers of a certain random operator. In some cases an interesting gap app...

Efficiently storing energy on a large scale poses major challenge and one that is growing in importance with the increasing share of renewables mix. The only options at present are either pumped hydro or compressed air storage. One novel alternative to store using liquid air, but this technology not yet fully mature requires substantial research development, including in-depth exergy analysis. ...

Voiceprint recognition is a kind of temperament recognition. It achieves judgment of temperament through analysis of voiceprint. The traditional judgment method usually recognizes the voiceprint directly, ignoring the influence of environmental noise, sound variation and other factors in the process of recognition. Study on the method of temperament accuracy judgment and intelligent processing ...

Arithmetic and algebra are central parts of the National Curriculum throughout the British Isles. In both of these there is a known and disconcerting level of failure, in algebra even more than in arithmetic. Why does this failure occur? Or, to look at the more positive side of the coin, why are some fortunate souls able to do these parts of mathematics almost without effort. By the conservatio...

This paper describes a new theory of consciousness based on previous work by C.D. Broad, H.H. Price, Andrei Linde and others. This hypothesis states that the Universe consists of three fundamental entities — space-time, matter and consciousness, each with their own degrees of freedom. The paper pays particular attention to three areas that impact on this theory: (1) the demonstration by neurosc...

This paper describes the automatic construction of the acoustic inventory for the purpose of development of the speech synthesis system for the Polish language. Very efficient algorithm of speech segmentation is proposed, also original process of reduction is described. Results of classification using LBG algorithm and brief description of created inventory are presented.

Recent work on calculating string theory landscape statistical predictions for the Higgs boson and sparticle mass spectrum from an assumed power-law soft term distribution yields expectation ${m}_{h}\ensuremath{\simeq}125\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ with sparticles (save light Higgsinos) somewhat beyond reach of high-luminosity LHC. A recent examination statistics supersymmetry breaking in IIB...

A bstract We construct supersymmetric AdS 4 vacua of type IIB string theory in compactifications on orientifolds Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces. first find explicit and quantized fluxes for which the superpotential takes form proposed by Kachru, Kallosh, Linde, Trivedi. Given very mild assumptions numerical values Pfaffians, these admit all moduli are stabilized at weak coupling. By computi...

Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) are hybrid materials that combine metal components with fiber-reinforced composites. The properties and failure modes of CArbon fiber Reinforced composites/Aluminum (CARALLs) composed T700/PA6 unidirectional prepreg 6061 aluminum alloy were studied using experimental numerical simulation analysis. Through three-point bending experiments, the behavior CARALLs differe...
