Abstract DUNE is a cutting-edge experiment aiming to study neutrinos in detail, with special focus on the flavor oscillation mechanism. The prototype of Far Detector Single Phase TPC (ProtoDUNE-SP) was built and operated at CERN full set reconstruction tools. To implement these tools, Pandora, multi-algorithm framework, has been developed. A large number algorithms, some them being exploiting t...

Among 170 insects infected by fungal pathogens, obtained during 2003-08 from three Northern provinces of Iran (Mazandaran, Gilan and Golestan), eight taxa of entomophthoralean fungi were identified including four pathogens of dipteran insects: Entomophaga tipulae was found on a crane fly, Entomophthora muscae was seen on five flies attached to broadbean leaves, Pandora bulata was observed only ...

We revisit the dynamics of Prometheus and Pandora, two small moons flanking Saturn’s F ring. Departures of their orbits from freely precessing ellipses result from mutual interactions via their 121:118 mean motion resonance. Motions are chaotic because the resonance is split into four overlapping components. Orbital longitudes were observed to drift away from predictions based on Voyager epheme...

One of the great promises of the internet and Web 2.0 is the opportunity to expose people to new types of content. Companies like Amazon and Netflix provide customers with ideas for new items to purchase based on current or previous selections. For instance, someone who rented “Star Wars” at Netflix might be presented with “The Matrix” as another movie to rent. The challenge in this strategy is...

Derivation of biological meaning from large sets of proteins or genes is a frequent task in genomic and proteomic studies. Such sets often arise from experimental methods including large-scale gene expression experiments and mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics. Large sets of genes or proteins are also the outcome of computational methods such as BLAST search and homology-based classifications. We...

We describe a computer-aided measuring tool, named parapapillary atrophy and optic disc region assessment (PANDORA), for automated detection and quantification of both the parapapillary atrophy (PPA) and the optic disc (OD) regions in two-dimensional color retinal fundus images. The OD region is segmented using a combination of edge detection and ellipse fitting methods. The PPA region is ident...
