Abstract The planet–metallicity correlation serves as a potential link between exoplanet systems we observe them today and the effects of bulk composition on planet formation process. Many observers have noted tendency for Jovian planets to form around stars with higher metallicities; however, there is no consensus trend smaller planets. Here, investigate rocky in single- multi-planet Kepler M-...

In this letter we explore the suggestion of Quashnock and Lamb (1993) that nearest neighbor correlations among gamma ray burst positions indicate the possibility of burst repetitions within various burst sub-classes. With the aid of Monte Carlo calculations we compare the observed nearest neighbor distributions with those expected from an isotropic source population weighted by the published BA...

Smirnov domains with non-smooth boundaries do admit non-trivial functions of Smirnov class with real boundary values. We will show that the existance of functions in Smirnov classes with real boundary values is directly dependent on the boundary characteristics of a Smirnov domain.

[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to investigate the accuracy of a digital weight scale relative to the Wii in limb loading measurement during static standing. [Methods] This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a public university teaching hospital. The sample consisted of 24 participants (12 with osteoarthritis and 12 healthy) recruited through convenient sampling. Limb loading m...

A classical test for the detection of level shifts in such weakly dependent data is the CUSUM test, which compares the partial sum of the first m observations to the sum of all observations for each candidate change-point m, and maximizes this statistic with respect to m after some appropriate scaling. Asymptotical critical values for the CUSUM test can be calculated from tables of the Kolmogor...

Ten annotated 3D reconstructions of Montipora capitata coral colonies contain x,y,z coordinates for all growth anomaly (GA) lesions affecting these corals. The 3D reconstructions are available as Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) files, and the GA lesions coordinates are in accompanying text files. The VRML models and GA lesion coordinates can be spatially analyzed using Matlab. Matlab s...

This paper presents a general structure for Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizers from which we can derive instances such as the: two proposed Linear Equalizers with Extrinsic Feedback (LE-EF), Linear Equalizer (LE) and Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE). The Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart was used to analyze the two proposed MMSE LE-EF receivers and their characteristics was ...

We consider a clustering problem where we observe feature vectors Xi ∈ R, i = 1, 2, . . . , n, from K possible classes. The class labels are unknown and the main interest is to estimate them. We are primarily interested in the modern regime of p n, where classical clustering methods face challenges. We propose Important Features PCA (IF-PCA) as a new clustering procedure. In IFPCA, we select a ...
