The Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory) is an ambitious project to find and study in detail approximately 300 nearby Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at redshifts 0.03 < z < 0.08. This program will provide an exceptional data set of well-studied SNe in the nearby smooth Hubble flow that can be used as calibration for the current and future programs designed to use SNe to measure the cosmological pa...

The paper presents an alternative optimization technique for t-SNE that is orders of magnitude faster than the original optimization technique, and that produces results that are at least as good.

OBJECTIVE Subacute necrotizing fasciitis is a poorly defined clinical entity. Its very existence has been the subject of much controversy. While rarely reported, subacute forms of necrotizing fasciitis have been documented in the literature by many authors. This paper highlights some recently reported cases in the literature that clearly shows that subacute forms of necrotizing fasciitis indeed...

An important fact about this ending is that it is not just a Macedonian phenomenon within South Slavic. It is found as well in some Bulgarian dialects, as the evidence of the Bùlgarski Dialekten Atlas (BDA) II.189 shows. In particular, the relevant form of 'be', sne, is rather common, occurring in a number of areas, and other verbs as well have forms with –n(BDA II.186; III.202), e.g. both bere...

Studying transient phenomena with the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique faces severe difficulties because the turnaround time of the experiments from the observations to the scientific result is rather long. The e-VLBI technique has made it possible to transfer the data from a number of European VLBI Network (EVN) telescopes to the central data processor at JIVE through optical...

Spatial and temporal brain transcriptomics has recently emerged as an invaluable data source for molecular neuroscience. The complexity of such data poses considerable challenges for analysis and visualization. We present BrainScope: a web portal for fast, interactive visual exploration of the Allen Atlases of the adult and developing human brain transcriptome. Through a novel methodology to ex...

The probability measure generated by typical chaotic orbits of a dynamical system can have an arbitrarily Sne-scaled interwoven structure of points with different singularity scalings. Recent work has characterized such measures via a spectrum of fractal dimension values. In this paper we pursue the idea that the infinite number of unstable periodic orbits embedded in the support of the measure...

The study sought to establish the current state of inclusive education in Zimbabwe. Focus was on the perceived gains of inclusive education, challenges in its implementation and how the challenges could be addressed. A survey design which was fundamentally qualitative in nature was used. Forty-two Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education)(BEd SNE) purposefully selected students from Great...
