We use Bayesian hierarchical models and recent results from the theory of minimax confidence interval estimation to study the effect of prior information in a cosmological inverse problem. We consider the effect of prior information on uncertainty estimates of a linear functional Lx of an infinite-dimensional model x, given noisy observations y = Kx+x. The model represents the cosmic microwave ...

The notion of an extremal self-dual code has been introduced in 1 . As Gleason 2 remarks onemay use invariance properties of the weight enumerator of a self-dual code to deduce upper bounds on the minimum distance. Extremal codes are self-dual codes that achieve these bounds. The most wanted extremal code is a binary self-dual doubly even code of length 72 and minimum distance 16. One frequentl...

We report the ultrastructural findings in a case of a 72-year-old black woman with confluent yellowish papules in the cervical region. She had no comorbidities. Ophthalmological examination, electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram were normal. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the affected skin showed strong alterations in the mid-dermis with irregular clumps of eosinophilic material and loss of the ...

Object recognition is a little like translation: a picture (text in a source language) goes in, and a description (text in a target language) comes out. I will use this analogy, which has proven fertile, to describe recent progress in object recognition. We have very good methods to spot some objects in images, but extending these methods to produce descriptions of images remains very difficult...

State Administrative Courts have existed since 1991, public and state trust in this court is getting bigger bigger. This requires the judiciary to be able balance its functions technology accordance with these developments. So that electronic justice very much needed at time, of course it must supported by rules implementing guidelines are law. E-Court sometimes considered a necessity as case e...
