This article presents a novel approach to enhance the accuracy of classical quadrature rules by incorporating correction terms. The proposed method is particularly effective when the position of an isolated discontinuity in the function and the jump in the function and its derivatives at that position are known. Traditional numerical integration ru...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of using scoring rubrics on assessing the performance of students in achievement. The study followed an experimental approach, and the sample consisted of 187 male and female students enrolled in the Calculus course. They were divided into three groups: the first experimental group, whose performance was e...

Canteens usually have critical acoustic conditions resulting from the need to maximize the number of occupants while minimizing volume. Thus, in the absence of specific sound absorbing treatments, very high sound pressure levels are usually observed resulting in significant impairment of communication (with increased vocal effort of speakers and re...

In this chapter, we first define language learner engagement and describe its core characteristics. We then summarize work on three prominent subtypes of language learner engagement in language learning research: task engagement, engagement with language, and engagement with corrective feedback. We end the chapter with an overview of several concep...

If G is a graph, A and B its induced subgraphs, and an isomorphism, we say that f is a partial automorphism of G. In 1992, Hrushovski proved that graphs have the extension property for partial automorphisms (EPPA, also called the Hrushovski property), that is, for every finite graph G there is a finite graph H, an EPPA-witness for G, such that G is...

Studies on Vietnamese and Japanese phonology have revealed a gap between phonological contrastive analysis (CA) and second language (L2) pronunciation instruction. Using the contrastive method, this article aims to bridge this gap by highlighting the differences and similarities between the phonemic inventories and phonological rules of both langua...

The history of Italian design is inextricably intertwined with the history of plastic materials, following a path that originates in the first decades of the 20th century. In relation to the importance that the issue of plastics assumes today in the challenge towards the ecological transition, this essay aims to unfold the path of plastic materials...

Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have emerged as a promising interpretable method whose final prediction is based on intermediate, human-understandable concepts rather than the raw input. Through time-consuming manual interventions, a user can correct wrongly predicted concept values to enhance the model's downstream performance. We propose Stochas...

Linear elasticity theory has been used extensively in the study of the elastic behavior of various perforated structures and composite materials requiring the accompaniment of appropriate boundary conditions to derive qualitatively correct and quantitatively referential solutions. When incorporating conventional boundary conditions, however, linear...

All the prophets provided an identical concept of God because their source of information was the same, that is, God Himself. Other methods like philosophy, esoteric inspiration, etc. are not valid and reliable mechanisms in this regard. Thus, we need to benefit from the teachings of the prophets to have the correct concept of God. For this, it wou...

A first-order model is derived for quasisymmetric stellarators where the vacuum field due to coils is dominant, but plasma-current-induced terms are not negligible and can contribute to magnetic differential equations, with $\beta$ of the order of the ratio induced to vacuum fields. Under these assumptions, it is proven that the aspect ratio must b...

We demonstrate the real-time signal processing operation of a dispersion-free phase projection algorithm intended for atmospheric correction of multi-aperture optical phased arrays. It uses interferometric phase measurements at multiple sensing wavelengths, offset by 50 GHz, to compute a phase correction at a third, remote wavelength. This is usefu...

Railway signalling devices are used to ensure the safety of trains running on the railroad network. With the passage of time, the technical state of railway signalling devices deteriorates. During the exploitation of these devices, processes dependent on changes in technical states and changes in exploitation states occur. Achieving the maximum eff...

This study introduces a new four-parameter distribution, the Exponentiated Generalized Burr XII (EGBXII) distribution. The model was developed by combining the classical Burr XII distribution with the Exponentiated Generalized family, offering enhanced flexibility. Its probability density function (pdf) exhibits desirable features, including unimod...

This paper presents a unified framework for constructing Approximate Message Passing (AMP) algorithms for rotationally-invariant models. By employing a general iterative algorithm template and reducing it to long-memory Orthogonal AMP (OAMP), we systematically derive the correct Onsager terms of AMP algorithms. This approach allows us to rederive a...

Accurate and high coverage genome assemblies are the basis for downstream analysis of metagenomic studies. Long-read sequencing technology is an ideal tool to facilitate the assemblies of metagenome, except for the drawback of usually producing reads with high sequencing error rate. Many polishing tools were developed to correct the sequencing erro...

RNA-Puzzles is a collective endeavor dedicated to the advancement and improvement of RNA three-dimensional structure prediction. With agreement from structural biologists, RNA structures are predicted by modeling groups before publication of the experimental structures. We report a large-scale set of predictions by 18 groups for 23 RNA-Puzzles: 4 R...

A theorem is proved to verify incremental stability of a feedback system via a homotopy from a known incrementally stable system. A first corollary of that result is that incremental stability may be verified by separation of Scaled Relative Graphs, correcting two assumptions in [1, Theorem 2]. A second corollary provides an incremental version of...

Given experimental data, one of the main objectives of biological modeling is to construct a model which best represents the real world phenomena. In some cases, there could be multiple distinct models exhibiting the exact same dynamics, meaning from the modeling perspective it would be impossible to distinguish which model is ``correct.'' This is...

The response to Covid-19 in both democratic countries (adopting tactics of totalitarian nations) and autocracies (ignoring the scope of the problem) posed a grave threat to life and liberty. Are we slouching towards a new authoritarian dawn? Or was the pandemic response an aberration that has corrected itself already? There are no easy answers to t...

Elaborating on previous work [20], in this paper we discuss in more detail the conceptual and philosophical basis of the depth-bounded approach to FDE. However, a contribution of this paper consists in improving, simplifying and partially correcting the semantics presented in [20].

For most high-precision experiments in particle physics, it is essential to know the luminosity at highest accuracy. The luminosity is determined by the convolution of particle densities of the colliding beams. In special van der Meer transverse beam separation scans, the convolution function is sampled along the horizontal and vertical axes with t...

Objective. Channelized Hotelling model observers are efficient at simulating the human observer visual performance in medical imaging detection tasks. However, channelized Hotelling observers (CHO) are subject to statistical biases from zero-signal and finite-sample effects. The point estimate of the d′ value is also not always symmetric with exact...

Weak-identification-robust Anderson-Rubin (AR) tests for instrumental variable (IV) regressions are typically developed separately depending on whether the number of IVs is treated as fixed or increasing with the sample size. These tests rely on distinct test statistics and critical values. To apply them, researchers are forced to take a stance on...
