Cosmology with the Shear-Peak Statistics
Weak-lensing searches for galaxy clusters are plagued by low completeness and purity, severely limiting their usefulness for constraining cosmological parameters with the cluster mass function. A significant fraction of ‘false positives’ are due to projection of large-scale structure and as such carry information about the matter distribution. We demonstrate that by constructing a “peak functio...
متن کاملConstraining the Water Activity during Peak Metamorphism in a Thermal Aureole; a Mineral Equilibria Approach
In order to assess the presence or absence of fluids under peak metamorphic conditions within the inner aureole of the Etive igneous complex in west Scotland, eight suitable metabasic hornfels samples and one suitable pelitic hornfels were used to calculate water activities using a mineral equilibria. Calculated activities for water are lower than unity in the pelitic sample and extremely low i...
متن کاملPeak finding through Scan Statistics
We discuss the conditions under which Scan Statistics can be fruitfully implemented to signal a departure from the underlying probability model that describes the experimental data. It is shown that local perturbations (“bumps” or “excesses” of events) are better dealt within this framework and, in general, tests based on these statistics provide a powerful and unbiased alternative to the tradi...
متن کاملMasker laterality and cueing in forward-masked intensity discrimination.
Forward-masked intensity discrimination was measured as a function of level in experiments designed to reveal insights into the mechanism(s) underlying the midlevel elevation of the Weber fraction. The standard and maskers were 1.0-kHz tones that were separated by 100 ms. Performance was measured for listeners with normal hearing using an adaptive procedure. In experiment 1, intensity discrimin...
متن کاملForward-masked spatial tuning curves in cochlear implant users.
Forward-masked psychophysical spatial tuning curves (fmSTCs) were measured in twelve cochlear-implant subjects, six using bipolar stimulation (Nucleus devices) and six using monopolar stimulation (Clarion devices). fmSTCs were measured at several probe levels on a middle electrode using a fixed-level probe stimulus and variable-level maskers. The average fmSTC slopes obtained in subjects using ...
