Deep-Field Analytical Calibration
The next generation of imaging surveys, including the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Euclid, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, will place unprecedented constraints on cosmology using weak gravitational lensing. To fully exploit their statistical power, shear measurement methods must achieve sub-percent accuracy while mitigating systematic biases from noise, the point-spread function (PSF), blending, and shear-dependent detection. The analytical calibr…

A new coding theory, for normal surfaces, and ADE singularities, I
In this article we extend the theory of the binary codes (the strict code $\mathcal{K}$ and the extended code $\mathcal{K}'$), associated to a projective nodal surface, to a coding theory for normal surfaces, with special consideration of the surfaces with ADE (Rational Double Points) singularities. We define a new theory of generalized labeled codes, establish in the geometric case basic restrictions for the weights of these codes, and some basic inequality. A crucial method that we establis…

Chatbot Deployment Considerations for Application-Agnostic Human-Machine Dialogues
Automatic conversation systems based on natural language responses are becoming ubiquitous, in part, due to major advances in computational linguistics and machine learning. The easy access to robust and affordable platforms are causing companies to have an unprecedented rush to adopt chatbot technologies for customer service and support. However, this rush has caused judgment lapses when releasing chatbot technologies into production systems. This paper aims to shed light on basic, elemental, …

ReNiL: Relative Neural Inertial Locator with Any-Scale Bayesian Inference
Pedestrian inertial localization is key for mobile and IoT services because it provides infrastructure-free positioning. Yet most learning-based methods depend on fixed sliding-window integration, struggle to adapt to diverse motion scales and cadences, and yield inconsistent uncertainty, limiting real-world use. We present ReNiL, a Bayesian deep-learning framework for accurate, efficient, and uncertainty-aware pedestrian localization. ReNiL introduces Inertial Positioning Demand Points (IPDPs)…

Gravitational lensing of gravitational waves: universal characteristics of strongly lensed memory waveforms
In this work, the strong lensing effect of the memory signal was considered. In the geometric optics limit, the lensed memory signal becomes oscillatory, while the unlensed is basically monotonic. This is because only the high frequency Fourier modes contribute to the lensed signal. Therefore, the strong lensing system serves as a high-pass filter for the memory signal. Due to the step function like behavior of the unlensed memory waveform, the lensed waveform possesses characteristic morpholog…

Impact of metallographic polishing on the RF properties of Niobium for SRF applications
The performance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities made of Niobium is tied to the quality of their inner surfaces exposed to the radio frequency (RF) waves. Future superconducting particle accelerators, because of their dimensions or the unprecedented stringent technical requirements, require the development of innovative surface processing techniques to improve processing reliability and if possible ecological footprint and cost, compared to conventional chemical processes.

More big cuts to Universities and Colleges in Canada/BC.
This time it's smaller colleges in the Interior of BC. Coast Mountain College in Prince Rupert/Northwest, and Selkirk College in the SE/Nelson.
The Hazelton campus of CMC is being closed as is the Fine Arts campus of Selkirk.
All because successive Provincial and Federal governments in Canada thought the gravy-train of International students would last forever, allowing them to redirect funding for Post Secondary to other parts of the budget.
I don't think the system has found the bottom yet, and at the end, it will be Domestic students who suffer most from hugely diminished services at their local, and regional, and national colleges and Universities.
