Precise interstellar dust extinction laws are important to infer the intrinsic properties of reddened objects and correctly interpret observations. In this work, we attempt measure optical--infrared Large Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC SMC) by using red supergiant (RSG) stars classical Cepheids as tracers. The spectroscopic RSG samples constructed based on APOGEE spectral parameters, Gaia astrome...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can effectively handle grid-structured data but not dynamic skeletons, which are usually expressed as graph structures. In this study, we first propose a skeleton-based square grid (SSG) for transforming skeletons into three-dimensional (3D) so that CNNs be applied to such data. Each SSG contains joint-based (JSG) and rigid-based (RSG) based on intrinsic ext...

As a house for training programs and study groups children of Jati Padang scavengers, Rumah Singgah Gemilang (RSG) not only faces problems with the educational program that is purpose their learning but also psychosocial scavengers. Singgah, which located in scavenger neighborhood Gang Saibun, Jatipadang, South Jakarta, one Indonesia Foundation program. There are 12 shelter aged between 13 18 y...

Individuals with type 2 diabetes are insulin resistant and as a group have a lower exercise capacity (VO2max) than ageand weight-matched people without diabetes (1,2). In this issue, Regensteiner et al. (3) report that rosiglitazone (RSG), a thiazolidinedione (TZD) commonly used to treat insulin resistance, also improves exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Following 4 months of ...

With the enormous amount of data available for geographic spatial analysis, parallel processing enhances the capabilities for processing large amounts of data and intensive computer bound algorithms. The author examines data structures, load balancing, data partitioning, algorithms, and performance for Geographic Information/Imaging Systems. The R-tree data structure and Triangulated Irregular ...

Taxonomic categories of the highest level (e.g. the RSG of the World Reference Base for soil resources) are not adequate when dealing with trace element concentrations in soils. This does not however mean that pedology, its basic concepts and knowledge accumulated over more than a century, are of no use in this domain. Examples of the role of soil forming processes on trace element contents in ...
