Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...

Here is a simple trick that you can use to try to dupe a friend out of his money with high probability. Bet with him on the outcome of three specially numbered dice labelled X , Y , and Z each with six faces marked as: X (3 3 5 5 7 7), Y (2 2 4 4 9 9), Z (1 1 6 6 8 8). Each person chooses a different die. The larger number wins when the dice are rolled. Strangely, whichever die your friend has ...

The work discussed in this article concentrates on applying a laser range finder instead of a silicon retina. The laser range finder is maximal focused at any time, but therefore a lowresolution total-scene-image, available with camera-like devices from scratch on, cannot be used here. By adapting a couple of algorithms, the edge-scanning module steering the laser range finder is able to trace ...

MOTIVATION Although peak finding in next-generation sequencing (NGS) datasets has been addressed extensively, there is no consensus on how to analyze and process biological replicates. Furthermore, most peak finders do not focus on accurate determination of enrichment site widths and are not widely applicable to different types of datasets. RESULTS We developed JAMM (Joint Analysis of NGS rep...

It is common to forget that education or educate are words. In this sense, if we able follow an approach as a language issue, could then consider educational problems from new perspectives, e.g., the ways of thinking “education” in different languages. This text was inspired by Syrian-French linguist Émile Benveniste languages, and consequences his discussion with Jacques Derrida. way, other po...

English law and wider common jurisprudence have endorsed the condition that an appellate court should reject a trial judge's finding of fact which it believes is ‘plainly wrong’. Courts not explained what makes plainly wrong, however. Scholars largely ignored issue. This article draws on recent work in epistemology to provide new analysis wrong standard. Rationally, believe both (1) judge bette...
