Aims. We present a custom support vector machine classification package for photometric redshift estimation, including comparisons with other methods. We also explore the efficacy of including galaxy shape information in redshift estimation. Support vector machines, a type of machine learning, utilize optimization theory and supervised learning algorithms to construct predictive models based on...

BACKGROUND Nursing home patients have complex mental and physical health problems, disabilities and social needs, combined with widespread prescription of psychotropic drugs. Preservation of their quality of life is an important goal. This can only be achieved within nursing homes that offer competent clinical conditions of treatment and care. COmmunication, Systematic assessment and treatment ...

We obtained medium-resolution spectra of 336 quasar candidates in the COSMOS HST/Treasury field using the MMT 6.5-meter telescope and the Hectospec multi-object spectrograph. Candidates were drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR1 catalog using quasar flags set by the SDSS multi-color quasar target selection algorithm. In this paper we present our discovery spectra from 1.39 square d...

This article analyses the development of Conceptual Art in Bratislava during communist period, with specific emphasis on practices produced throughout so-called ‘Normalisation’ (1968–1989). The text starts by introducing functioning mechanisms Czechoslovakian artistic scene time. It then moves to analyse work Július Koller, Rudolf Sikora and Ĺubomír Ďurček. is argued that, despite difficult con...
