Sensor measurement uncertainty has never been fully considered in prior appraisals of global average surface air temperature. The estimated average ±0.2 C station error has been incorrectly assessed as random, and the systematic error from uncontrolled variables has been invariably neglected. The systematic errors in measurements from three ideally sited and maintained temperature sensors are c...

In this work we introduce the new problem of finding time series discords. Time series discords are subsequences of longer time series that are maximally different to all the rest of the time series subsequences. They thus capture the sense of the most unusual subsequence within a time series. While discords have many uses for data mining, they are particularly attractive as anomaly detectors b...

The task in the computer security domain of anomaly detection is to characterize the behaviors of a computer user (the "valid’, or "normal’ user) so that unusual occurrences can be detected by comparison of the current input stream to the valid user’s profile. This task requires an online leaming system that can respond to concept drift and handle discrete non-metric time sequence data. We pres...

Further evidence for the presence of an anomaly in binding energies for the "island of inversion" centered at Z =11, N =21 is obtained by comparison of shell-model calculations to experiment. The calculations were done with a shell-model interaction that is applicable to nuclei with active valence nucleons in both the (1s,Od) and (Of, lp) major shells. This interaction is described in detail as...

We examine the effects of anomalous U(1)A gauge symmetry on soft supersymmetry breaking terms while incorporating the stabilization of the modulus-axion multiplet responsible for the Green-Schwarz (GS) anomaly cancellation mechanism. In case of the KKLT stabilization of the GS modulus, soft terms are determined by the GS modulus mediation, the anomaly mediation and the U(1)A mediation which are...

We demonstrate that in the presence of mixing between different scalar leptoquark multiplets it is possible to simultaneously account for the HERA high-Q2 neutral current anomaly, and produce a charged current anomaly of comparable magnitude. The reduced branching ratio to electrons and jets of the lightest leptoquark state results in a significant weakening of the CDF/D0 limits on scalar lepto...

We show that the well-known Kohn anomaly predicts Tc for ordered AlB2-type structures. We use ab initio density functional theory to calculate phonon dispersions for Mg1-xAlxB2 compositions and identify a phonon anomaly with magnitude that predicts experimental values of Tc for all x. Key features of these anomalies correlate with the electronic structure of Mg1-xAlxB2. This approach predicts T...

Extreme climatic events can substantially affect organismal performance and Darwinian fitness. In April 2011, a strong heat wave struck extensive geographical areas of the world, including Western Europe. At that time, we happened to resume and extend a long-term time series of seasonal genetic data in the widespread fly Drosophila subobscura, which provided a unique opportunity to quantify the...

A rare case of neonatal Ebstein's anomaly with circular shunting was reported. A two-stage surgical procedure was performed, and the outcome was good. Razook JD.

Abstract The partial least squares (PLS) is a commonly applied multi-variate method in anomaly detection problems. PLS strategy has been amalgamated with $$T^{2}$$ T 2 and squared prediction error (SPE) based statistical indicators to detect anomalies process. These tra...
