It is widely believed that implicit bias common and it contributes, in part, to the perpetuation of systemic injustice. Hence, existence raises question: can indivi...

1 Characteristic 0 We start with a basic question: given a polynomial f ∈ C[z1, · · · , zn] with a singularity at 0, how can we measure the “singularness” of this polynomial in a precise way? In other words: we can look at various singularities and see intuitively that some singularities are worse than others. For instance, it feels like a transverse self-intersection is probably not as bad as ...

We investigated the effects of omitting one or two milkings weekly on milk yield and milk composition in dairy sheep. Ninety Spanish Assaf ewes were allocated to three experimental treatments: T0 (no milking omission; 14 milkings/week), T1 (omission of one evening milking per week; 13 milkings/week) and T2 (omission of two evening milkings per week; 12 milkings/week). The experiment was extende...

Outliers have more than two centuries’ history in the field of statistics. Recently, they have become a focal topic because of their relevance to terrorism, network intrusions, financial fraud, and other areas where rare events are critical to understanding a process. This paper presents a new algorithm, called hdoutliers, for detecting multidimensional outliers. It is unique for a) dealing wit...
