Cross-sectional imaging is considered the gold standard in diagnosing a range of diseases. However, despite its widespread use in clinical practice and research, no widely accepted method is available to reliably match cross-sectional planes in several consecutive scans. This deficiency can impede comparison between cross-sectional images and ultimately lead to misdiagnosis. Here, we propose an...

We briefly summarize theoretical methods for carrying out QCD calculations to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. In particular, we describe a new general algorithm that can be used for computing arbitrary jet cross sections in arbitrary processes and can be straightforwardly implemented in general-purpose Monte Carlo programs.

We consider supermembranes in the maximally supersymmetric plane wave geometry of the eleven dimensions and construct complete solutions of the continuum version of the 1/4 BPS equations. The supermembranes may have an arbitrary number of holes and arbitrary cross sectional shapes. In the matrix regularized version, we solve the matrix equations for several simple cases including fuzzy torus. I...

We demonstrate a high-performance optical arbitrary waveform shaper based on a single 10 GHz arrayed-waveguide grating with 64 loopback waveguides and integrated amplitude and phase modulators on each waveguide. The design is compact and self-aligning and allows for bidirectional operation. The device's complex transfer function is manipulated and measured over the full 640 GHz passband. To dem...

An automated PLS engine, WB-PLS, was applied to 1632 QSAR series with at least 25 compounds per series extracted from WOMBAT (WOrld of Molecular BioAcTivity). WB-PLS extracts a single Y variable per series, as well as pre-computed X variables from a table. The table contained 2D descriptors, the drug-like MDL 320 keys as implemented in the Mesa A&C Fingerprint module, and in-house generated top...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to introduce, elucidate and defend the usefulness a variant grounding, or metaphysical explanation, that has feature grounds explain some states affairs one them obtains without explaining which obtains. I will dub arbitrary grounding . After informally elucidating basic idea in first section, provide three hypotheses are best formulated terms second section. t...
