Gravitational wave detection experiments in space, including satellite Doppler-Tracking (Bertotti and Iess, 1999) and LISA (http://lisa.jpl.nasa.gov), will hopefully open a window on the low-frequency part of the gravitational wave (henceforth GW) spectrum of cosmic origin. In these frequency bands, binary stars are among the most promising continuous detectable source. A substantial fraction o...

The subject of this paper is a portable, microcomputer-based performance system that we call the conduct system.1 This system was developed at the University of Toronto as part of the research of the Structured Sound Synthesis Project (SSSP) (Buxton, Fogels, Fedorkow and Smith 1978). The system, built around a microprocessor controlling a digital sound synthesizer, had its genesis in the earlie...

Palaeontological studies show that three endemic procellariid seabird species became extinct on the remote island of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. At least one of these, Pterodroma rupinarum Olson, 1975, is likely to have survived until human colonization of the island, although it is known only from subfossil bones. Several species of Pterodroma are distributed across the Atlantic, bu...

From an octonion algebra $\mathbb{O}$ over a field $k$ of characteristic not two or three, we show that the fundamental representation ${\rm Im}(\mathbb{O})$ derivation Der}(\mathbb{O})$ and spinor $\mathfrak{so}({\rm Im}(\mathbb{O}))$ are special orthogonal representations. They have particular geometric properties coming from their similarities with binary cubics covariants these representati...

The Mathews stability graph method was presented for the first time in 1980. This developed to assess of open stopes different underground conditions, and it has an impact on evaluating safety excavations. With development technology growing experience applying computer sciences various research disciplines, mining engineering could significantly benefit by using Machine Learning. Applying thos...

Changes in the eligibility criteria for a survivor's benefit under the Social Security program resulted from a 1977 Supreme Court decision in the case of Califano v. Goldfarb. The Court ruled that legislation that required only men to prove past financial dependence on a deceased spouse in order to establish eligibility to a survivor's benefit violated equal protection guarantees in the Constit...

The advance of next-generation sequencing technologies has made exome sequencing rapid and relatively inexpensive. A major application of exome sequencing is the identification of genetic variations likely to cause Mendelian diseases. This requires processing large amounts of sequence information and therefore computational approaches that can accurately and efficiently identify the subset of d...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a class of natural peptides that form a part of the innate immune system, and this kind of 'nature's antibiotics' is quite promising for solving the problem of increasing antibiotic resistance. In view of this, it is highly desired to develop an effective computational method for accurately predicting novel AMPs because it can provide us with more candida...
