Abstract:

We present updated cosmological constraints for the KiDS+VIKING-450 cosmic shear data set (KV450) estimated through redshift distributions and photometric samples defined using self-organising maps (SOMs). Our fiducial analysis finds marginal posterior constraints of S8 ≡ σ8 Ωm/0.3 = 0.716−0.038+0.043, which are smaller but otherwise consistent with previous works that have applied this data set (|ΔS8| = 0.023). We analysed additional samples and redshift distributions set up in three ways: (1) by excluding certain spectroscopic surveys during redshift calibration; (2) by excluding lower-confi

Abstract:

This paper investigates the computing capabilities and potential applications of neural oscillators, a biologically inspired neural model, to grey scale and colour image segmentation, an important task in image understanding and object recognition. A proposed neural system that exploits the synergy between neural oscillators and Kohonen self-organising maps (SOMs) is presented. It consists of a two-dimensional grid of neural oscillators which are locally connected through excitatory connections and globally connected to a common inhibitor. Each neuron is mapped to a pixel of the input image an

A marked feature of recent developments in the networked society has been the growth in the number of people making use of Internet dating services. These services involve the accumulation of large amounts of personal information which individuals utilise to find others and potentially arrange offline meetings. The consequent data represent a challenge to conventional analysis, for example, the service that provided the data used in this paper had approximately 5,000 users all of whom completed an extensive questionnaire resulting in some 300 parameters.

Among the contaminants of greatest concern, it is still possible to detect in aquatic systems "old" classics such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

For this reason, this original approach studies the toxicological influence of PCBs, quantified in sediment samples collected at ten sites along the river Danube, by an application of advanced classification and clus

In 2009, research indicated that the Teno salmon stock was in a weak state, and concern about the future of Atlantic salmon in the Teno River arose on both sides of the river, in Finland and Norway. In 2017, the governments ratified the new Teno fishing agreement (Teno Fishing Act 2017). The agreement aimed to reduce the fishing volume by 30%, and the new regulations concerned all users, including the indigenous Sámi, other locals, tourists, and fishing entrepreneurs.

Marine organisms are subject to environmental variability on various temporal and spatial scales, which affect processes related to growth and mortality of different life stages.

Even after initial hypothesis-based variable selection, a large number of potential candidate variables can remain if different lagged and seasonal influences are considered. To tack

Rings are distinctive features of many disc galaxies and their location and properties are closely related to the disc dynamics. In particular, rings are often associated to stellar bars, but the details of this connection are far from clear.

We used the 1320 not highly inclined disc galaxies (i < 65°) from the S4G survey. The ring fraction increases with bar Fourier density amplitude: this can be interpreted as evidence for the

Metagenomic projects using whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing produces many unassembled DNA sequences and small contigs.

We improve this strategy by identifying suitable training features, implementing a better clustering algorithm, and defining quantitative measures for assessing results.
