The Fix and Pair techniques were designed to generate simulations with reduced variance in the 2-point statistics by modifying Initial Conditions (ICs). In this paper we show that technique is also valid when initial conditions have local Primordial non-Gaussianities (PNG), parametrised $f_{\rm NL}$, without biasing but reducing significantly their variance. We how quantitatively use these test...

Local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) is a promising observable of the underlying physics inflation, characterised by $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$. We present methodology to measure loc}$ from Dark Energy Survey (DES) data using 2-point angular correlation function (ACF) with scale-dependent bias. One focuses work integral constraint. This condition appears when estimating mean number density galaxi...

Why use natural language (NL) to communicate with computer systems? I have always thought the answer was obvious. Since NL is the most natural communication language for people to use [1], it would make computer systems easiest to use if they understood and spoke NL. I often get resistance to this opinion, but the resistance almost always takes the form of comparing current GUIs to current NL i...

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a cutaneous disease entity that typically manifests as atrophic yellow plaques with telangiectasias on the anterior tibial region. Although NL is commonly associated with diabetes mellitus, the role of trauma in disease development is less commonly emphasized. The relationship between NL and the Köbner phenomenon has been established, as a few cases of NL occurring...

This paper is concerned with learning categorial grammars in the model of Gold. We show that rigid and k-valued non-associative Lambek (NL) grammars are not learnable from well-bracketed sentences. In contrast to k-valued classical categorial grammars, k-valued Lambek grammars are not learnable from strings. This result was shown for several variants including the non-associative variant NL. Wh...

The purpose of this letter is threefold : (i) to derive, in the framework of a new parametrization, some compact formulas of energy averages for the electrostatic interaction within an nl configuration, (ii) to describe a new generating function for obtaining the number of states with a given spin angular momentum in an nl configuration, and (iii) to report some apparently new sum rules (actual...

the partial differential equations for water flow and solute transport in a two-dimensional saturated domain are rendered discrete using the finite difference technique; the resulting system of algebraic equations is solved using a dynamic programming (dp) method. the advantage of the dp algorithm is that the problem is converted from solving an algebraic system of order nc(nl-1) nc(nl-1) into...

Natural language (NL) user interfaces are growing in popularity. Unfortunately, the complexity of NL interaction makes these interfaces difficult to design. For NL interfaces to become successful, universal tools are needed to help support the NL design process. What work practice should these tools explicitly support? Interviews with NL designers and our own experiments have identified a speci...

Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are major excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Two lynx proteins (Nl-lynx1 and Nl-lynx2) have been identified in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, which act as modulators on insect nAChRs. In the present study, two lynx proteins were found to act on the triplet receptor Nlalpha1/Nlalpha2/beta2 e...
