What happens when machines become more intelligent than humans? One view is that this event will be followed by an explosion to ever-greater levels of intelligence, as each generation of machines creates more intelligent machines in turn. This intelligence explosion is now often known as the “singularity”. The basic argument here was set out by the statistician I. J. Good in his 1965 article “S...

The information explosion has led to problems and possibilities in many areas of society, including that of law enforcement. In comparing individual criminal investigations on similarity, we seize one of the opportunities of the information surplus to determine what crimes may or may not have been committed by the same group of individuals. For this purpose we introduce a new distance measure t...

ABSTRACT I analyse some properties of the luminous transient event SN 2019zrk and conclude that jets were main powering sources pre-explosion outburst (pre-cursor) ejection a massive circumstellar matter (CSM), very energetic explosion itself, post-explosion bump in light curve. The energy source is mainly companion (main sequence, Wolf–Rayet, neutron star, or black hole) star accreted mass lau...

In research studies, a student starts with writing a research proposal, followed up by intensive literature and industrial survey in his/her own research area. The student must perform his/her own research with validation under supervisor’s guidance. The student’s own research work must be differentiated from others work in order to demonstrate the unique originality and significance of the stu...

With the increasing complexity of control rooms and the information explosion, effective multitasking is now desired. Monochronicity and polychronicity, which describe a person's ability to do one thing and many things at a time, respectively, have been studied for a long time. However, it is not clear these abilities are related to various individual characteristics. Forty-eight Chinese partic...

Looking back over the last three decades of Roman archaeology I find it difficult not to be impressed by the huge advances the discipline had made. The quantity of information collected has increased enormously.
