Dawn, the ninth Discovery mission, is a journey to the main belt asteroids Vesta and Ceres to attempt to understand the building blocks of the solar system and the processes occurring at the solar system s earliest epoch. It does this with a spacecraft that utilizes ion propulsion to reach its targets and to maneuver into orbit about these bodies. It carries a framing camera, a visible and infr...

Abstract Satellite, reanalysis, and ocean in situ data are analyzed to evaluate regional, hemispheric global mean trends Earth's energy fluxes during the first 20 years of twenty‐first century. Regional net top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) radiation from Clouds Radiant Energy System (CERES), ECMWF Reanalysis 5 (ERA5), a model similar ERA5 with prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) ice differ markedly...

This paper reports on the performance of a new system for recognizing textual entailment. We present a brief overview of the CERES system and summarize its semantic alignment method for determining entailment. Then, we describe the experiments that were performed, both official and subsequently, against the RTE4 test dataset. We also report on comparison runs against the previous RTE3 developme...

[1] We first present an algorithm for deriving cloudy sky outgoing spectral flux through the entire longwave spectrum from the collocated Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and Cloud and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) measurements over the tropical oceans. The algorithm is similar to the one described in part 1 of this series of studies: spectral angular dependent models are develop...

Efficient, automated elimination of cuts is a prerequisite for proof analysis. The method CERES, based on Skolemization and resolution has been successfully developed for classical logic for this purpose. We generalize this method to Gödel logic, an important intermediate logic, which is also one of the main formalizations of fuzzy logic.

Abstract Dawn revealed that Ceres is a compelling target whose exploration pertains to many science themes. large ice- and organic-rich body, potentially representative of the population objects brought water organics inner solar system, as well brine-rich body study can contribute ocean world science. The observations have led renewed focus on planetary brine physics chemistry based detection ...

We calculate the dilepton emission rate from a fireball created in an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision. For the partonic phase, we complement the perturbative results by a phenomenological approach based on lattice QCD results, whereas in the hadronic phase temperature and finite baryon density effects on the spectral function are considered. The resulting rates are compared to data from ...
