This paper investigates the particular problem of matrices appearing during the modeling of Integrated Circuits with Finite Integration Technique (FIT) method. We present the key points of FIT approach followed by an illustration of the structure and the properties of the FIT-type matrix. A novel algorithm SMark is proposed, which focuses on fill-ins number reduction. The main idea of SMark is ...

Because of two 3σ anomalies, the Standard Model (SM) fit of the precision electroweak data has a poor confidence level, CL = 0.02. Since both anomalies involve challenging systematic issues, it might appear that the SM could still be valid if the anomalies resulted from underestimated systematic error. Indeed the CL of the global fit could then increase to 0.71, but that fit predicts a small Hi...

A dipole moment function (DMF) for hydrogen chloride (HCl) has been obtained using a direct fit approach that fits the best available and appropriately weighted experimental data for individual ro-vibrational transitions. Combining wavefunctions derived from the Rydberg–Klein–Rees (RKR) numerical method and a semi-empirical DMF, line intensities were calculated numerically for bands with Dv1⁄40...

A wide range of antiviral drugs is currently available; however, drug-resistant viruses have begun to emerge and represent a potential public health risk. Here, we explored the use of compounds that inhibit or interfere with the action of essential host factors to prevent virus replication. In particular, we focused on the cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor, FIT-039, which suppressed re...

Single particle tracking has seen numerous applications in biophysics, ranging from the diffusion of proteins in cell membranes to the movement of molecular motors. A plethora of computer algorithms have been developed to monitor the sub-pixel displacement of fluorescent objects between successive video frames, and some have been claimed to have "nanometer" resolution. To date, there has been n...

Gaming is a domain of profound skill development. Players’ digital traces create data that track the development from novice to expert levels. We argue existing work, although promising, has yet take advantage potential game for understanding acquisition, and realize this potential, future studies can use fit formal learning curves individual as theoretical anchor. Learning-curve analysis allow...

In the context of a “beauty contest” coordination game (in which payoffs 1 depend on the quadratic distance of actions from an unobserved state variable and 2 from the average action) players choose how much costly attention to pay to vari3 ous informative signals. Each signal has an underlying accuracy (how precisely it 4 identifies the state) and a clarity (how easy it is to understand). The ...
