New approach to quantization of the relativistic Majorana field is presented. It based on expansion into eigenfunctions axial momentum -- a novel observable introduced recently. Relativistic invariance used as main guiding principle instead canonical formalism. Hidden structure quantized in form real Clifford algebra Hermitian fermionic operators unveiled. Generators Poincar\'e transformations ...

People lie, mislead, and bullshit in a myriad of ways. Visualizations, as a form of communication, are no exception to these tendencies. Yet, the language we use to describe how people can use visualizations to mislead can be relatively sparse. For instance, one can be “lying with vis” or using “deceptive visualizations.” In this paper, we use the language of computer security to expand the spa...

Size-constrained clustering (SCC) refers to the dual problem of using observations to determine latent cluster structure while at the same time assigning observations to the unknown clusters subject to an analyst defined constraint on cluster sizes. While several approaches have been proposed, SCC remains a difficult problem due to the combinatorial dependency between observations introduced by...

Many classical puzzles involve hats. The general setting for these puzzles is a game in which several players are each given a hat to wear. Associated with each hat is either a color or a number. Every player can see the color or number of everyone else’s hat but not his own. The players are then trying to figure out the colors or the numbers on their own hats. The Three-Hat Problem is one of s...

This project will discuss hat problems and the Axiom of Choice. A basic example of a …nite hat problem is helpful in introducing the concept. Assume that there are two players and two possible hat colors, red and blue. The players will be given a certain amount of time before the game begins to communicate and create a strategy for determining their own hat colors. After this initial strategy s...

A review of previous studies shows that there are two general views on how to determine demand in structures through incremental nonlinear static analysis. In the first view, multi-modal methods are used to determine demand in structures. In this view, the applied load pattern is applied to the structure according to the shape of each vibration mode, assuming that the structure deformation foll...

this study contains the identification of modal dynamic properties of a 3-story large-scale steel test frame structure through shaking table measurements. shaking table test is carried out to estimate the modal properties of the test frame such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes. among many different model structures, arx (auto recursive exogenous) model structure is used fo...

This paper examines three methods of mapping of biodiversity using point-occurrence data for the birds of Mexico: aggregation of species occurrence records, vegetation surrogate, and individual species models. We compare the approaches from the perspective of achieving potential gains in spatial resolution with existing data. We found that mapping the diversity of Mexican birds using individual...

N distinguishable players are randomly fitted with a white or black hat, where the probabilities of getting a white or black hat may be different, but known and the same to all the players. All players guess simultaneously the color of their own hat observing only the hat colors of the other N − 1 players. The team wins if all players guess right. No communication of any sort is allowed, except...

In process identification (i.e., dynamic model development) information on the precision and reliability of a parameter estimate is conveyed y a confidence interval. The best confidence interval is the one with the shortest width for a given level of confidence. Confidence intervals iden as the standard error increases or as the number of estimated parameters increases. When the value of a para...
