We present 97 QSO candidates in 48 Galactic Bulge fields of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment II (OGLE-II) covering ∼ 11 square degrees, which are selected via their variability. We extend light curves of variable objects which were detected in 3-year baseline in the OGLE-II variable star catalog to 4th year. We search for objects which are faint (16 < I0 < 18.5) and slowly variable ...

We construct the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter at finite temperature and density with various proton fractions within the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory for the use in the supernova simulations. We consider nucleus, alpha-particle, proton and neutron in equilibrium at densities smaller than about ρB ∼ 10 14.2g/cm3 by minimizing the free energy of the nuclear matter. The calcul...

This paper describes the evaluation of a Scrutable User Modelling Infrastructure. SUMI is intended to form a service to allow users to share their user models from social e-networking and e-commerce providers to educational systems. The model is scrutable, meaning users can inspect and correct the data that is held about them, and implements privacy policies so that users can control how their ...

Business Intelligence (BI) applications provide business information to drive decision support. Usability is one of the factors determining the optimal use and eventual benefit derived from BI applications. The documented need for more BI usability research together with the practical necessity for BI evaluation guidelines in the mining industry provides the rationale for this study. The purpos...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to create a vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) prediction system to identify visual field (VF) test points associated with decreased VRQoL in patients with glaucoma. METHOD VRQoL score was surveyed in 164 patients with glaucoma using the 'Sumi questionnaire'. A binocular VF was created from monocular VFs by using the integrated VF (IVF) method. VRQoL ...

where p and q are polynomials. We consider skew products which are Axiom A and extend holomorphically to endomorphisms of P2 of degree d ≥ 2. In the article [DH], we studied orbits of critical points in a distinguished subset of C2, and we constructed new examples of Axiom A maps. We made an erroneous assumption about polynomial skew products, which holds for our main examples but fails in gene...

Two sensors obtain data vectors x and y, respectively, and transmit real vectors mri(z) and rm 2 (y), respectively, to a fusion center. We obtain tight lower bounds on the number of messages (the sumI of the dimensions of mil and r1 2) that have to be transmitted for the fusion center to be able to evaluate a given function fxI, y). When the function f is linear, we show that these bounds are e...
