We have developed an e cacious algorithm for simulation of the beam-beam interaction in synchrotron colliders based on the nonlinear f method, where f is the much smaller deviation of the beam distribution from the slowly evolving main distribution f0. In the presence of damping and quantum uctuations of synchrotron radiation it has been shown that the slowly evolving part of the distribution f...

UNLABELLED Frontal pneumosinus dilatans is a rare entity that is documented only by a few reports. It is an abnormal expansion of the aerated frontal sinus, with sinus walls of normal thickness. The expansion of the bone may be generalized or focal. It is not only an aesthetic problem but may also have functional consequences. We herein present the case of a 23-year-old woman who had been refer...

We study the non-stationary stochastic multiarmed bandit (MAB) problem and propose two generic algorithms, namely, the limited memory deterministic sequencing of exploration and exploitation (LM-DSEE) and the SlidingWindow Upper Confidence Bound# (SW-UCB#). We rigorously analyze these algorithms in abruptly-changing and slowlyvarying environments and characterize their performance. We show that...

Instead of imagining space-time as being warped by mass and energy, one can speak of a classical spin-2 graviton field (in flat, Minkowski space-time) that generates gravitation. Although we don’t know yet how to quantize this field, we can think of it in a way similar to how we think of electromagnetism being mediated by photons. And just as a 1/r2 Coulomb force generates magnetism when the fi...

With the growing maturity of SQL-on-Hadoop engines such as Hive, Impala, and Spark SQL, many enterprise customers are deploying new and legacy SQL applications on them to reduce costs and exploit the storage and computing power of large Hadoop clusters. On the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) front, customers want to reduce operational overhead of their legacy applications by processing portions...

Critical insights on galaxy evolution stem from the study of bars. With the advent of high redshiftHST surveys that trace bars in the rest-frame optical band out to z ∼ 1, it becomes increasingly important to provide a reference baseline for bars at z ∼ 0 in the optical band. We present results on bars at z ∼ 0 in the optical and near-infrared bands, based on 180 spirals in the OSUBSGS survey. ...
