Integrating Project Spatial Coordinates into Pavement Management Prioritization
To date, pavement management software products and studies on optimizing the prioritization of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) have been mainly focused on three parameters; the pre-treatment pavement condition, the rehabilitation cost, and the available budget. Yet, the role of the candidate projects' spatial characteristics in the decision-making process has not been deeply considered. Such a limitation, predominately, allows the recommended M&R projects' schedule to involve simu…

A Countable, Dense, Dedekind-Complete Subset of $\mathbb{R}$ Constructed by Extending $\mathbb{Q}$ via Simultaneous Marking of Closed Intervals with Rational Endpoints
This article explores the model-dependent nature of set cardinality, emphasizing that cardinality is not absolute but varies across different axiomatic frameworks. Although Cantor's diagonal argument shows the real numbers are non-denumerable within ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory), the precise cardinality of the continuum remains unsettled and depends critically on model assumptions. For instance, under Gödel's inner-model axiom V=Ultimate L, the Continuum Hypothesis (CH) holds, whereas Marti…

Digesting Gibbs Sampling Using R
In general, the statistical simulation approaches are referred to as the Monte Carlo methods as a whole. The broad class of the Monte Carlo methods involves the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques that attract the attention of researchers from a wide variety of study fields. The main focus of this report is to provide a framework for all users who are interested in implementing the MCMC approaches in their investigations, especially the Gibbs sampling. I have tried, if possible, to elimi…

Our #personalscience wiki got a lot of LLM-generated spam posts in the past days, so it's once again time to rotate the captcha questions.
How has some fun ideas for questions "AI" struggles with? I've already added questions about the number of "R" in blueberry & strawberry 😂

New Arabic records from Cairo on supernovae 1181 and 1006
The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000-5000 yr), the unusual star IRAS 00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa-30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in AD 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor deceleration occurred. Previously, only reports from China and Japan were known, pointing to an event near the northern circumpolar region. Any further report…

«It's rude to show AI output to people»
Yep, if someone starts of with "I asked ChatGPT…" I immediately stop listening and know to effectively stop valuing anything that person says.

I don’t get a lot of deep sleep and I’ve had tinnitus for years https://mastodon.social/@ScienceScholar/114762150898062416

If this mechanism is indeed involved in the origin of life, then a form of life is likely to be present on innumerable habitable planets throughout the universe. Which is expected, of course, and will no-doubt be found at some point.
