The deformation barriers standing in the quasi-molecular shape path have been determined in the actinide region within a macroscopicmicroscopic energy derived from a generalized liquid drop model, the algebraic droplet model shell corrections and analytic expressions for the pairing energies. Double and triple-humped fission barriers appear. The second barrier corresponds to the transition from...

The t-test is as defined in the previous lecture. It has slope 1/σ. The Mann-Whitney test rejects if 1 nm ∑ i,j I(Xi ≤ Yj) is large. Note. The Mann-Whitney statistic has a relationship with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for classification algorithms with a tunable parameter. The ROC plot has one axis for proportion of false positives and one axis for proportion of true positives; as we mov...

The one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) was first introduced to German South West Africa (Namibia) for military purposes in 1889. Introductions to the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) in 1897 and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1903 were initially with a view to replacing oxen that died of rinderpest. Disease risks attendant on these introductions were recognised and to some extent guarded against. T...
