Star Formation Histories of the Galactic Satellites
Late accretion models for formation of the Galactic halo require that many Galactic satellite galaxies have been cannibalised into the halo field. Comparison of the metallicity and age distribution function of stars in the surviving satellites with the apparently exclusively old stars in the field halo can constrain the importance of any such process. We have developed a new objective technique...
متن کاملThe Tumultuous Lives of Galactic Dwarfs and the Missing Satellites Problem
Hierarchical Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models predict that Milky Way sized halos contain several hundred dense low-mass dark matter satellites (the substructure), an order of magnitude more than the number of observed satellites in the Local Group. If the CDM paradigm is correct, this prediction implies that the Milky Way and Andromeda are filled with numerous dark halos. To understand why these h...
متن کاملDelving deeper into MALT lymphoma biology.
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas can arise in a variety of extranodal sites. Interestingly, at least 3 different, apparently site-specific, chromosomal translocations, all affecting the NF-kappaB pathway, have been implicated in the development and progression of MALT lymphoma. The most common is the translocation t(11;18)(q21;q21), which results in a fusion of the cIAP2 regio...
متن کاملDelving Deeper into MOOC Student Dropout Prediction
In order to obtain reliable accuracy estimates for automatic MOOC dropout predictors, it is important to train and test them in a manner consistent with how they will be used in practice. Yet most prior research on MOOC dropout prediction has measured test accuracy on the same course used for training the classifier, which can lead to overly optimistic accuracy estimates. In order to understand...
متن کاملDelving deeper into the whorl of flower segmentation
We describe an algorithm for automatically segmenting flowers in colour photographs. This is a challenging problem because of the sheer variety of flower classes, the variability within a class and within a particular flower, and the variability of the imaging conditions – lighting, pose, foreshortening, etc. The method couples two models – a colour model for foreground and background, and a li...
