This paper describes a field study in which a recently implemented ‘intelligent’ control system for NASA satellites was observed. The autonomous control system, called Genie, is intended to replace the current two-person operations team with which NASA staffs the control rooms for each scientific satellite. As these control rooms are typically staffed twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week,...

BACKGROUND Cardiac fibrosis disrupts the normal myocardial structure and has a direct impact on heart function and survival. Despite already available digital methods, the pathologist's visual score is still widely considered as ground truth and used as a primary method in histomorphometric evaluations. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of digital image analysis tools and the pa...

The GENIE project aims to deliver a Grid-based, modular, distributed and scalable Earth System Model for long-term and paleo-climate studies to the environmental sciences community. In this paper we address the scientific problem of the vulnerability of the thermohaline circulation to the global climate, and describe our e-scientific solution using a Grid-based architecture involving Condor com...

We propose a test that takes random samples drawn from a monotone distribution and decides whether or not the distribution is uniform. The test is nearly optimal in that it uses at most O(n √ log n) samples, where n is the number of samples that a genie who knew all but one bit about the underlying distribution would need for the same task. Conversely, we show that any such test would require Ω...

The release of GENIE v3.0.0 was a major milestone in the long history project, delivering several alternative comprehensive neutrino interaction models, improved charged-lepton scattering simulations, range beyond Standard Model simulation capabilities, experimental interfaces, expanded core framework and advanced new frameworks for global analysis data tuning models. Steady progress continued ...

ABSTRACT The article aims to show the central importance of Friedrich Nietzsche notions genius in nineteenth and twentieth centuries. On one hand, it considers influence idealised representations (for example, Thomas Mann Gottfried Benn) as a marked by loneliness, illness, finally madness. other seeks trace significance ‘genius’ within Nietzsche's oeuvre . It transpires that concept is not only...
