Finite Sample Complexity Analysis of Binary Segmentation

Binary segmentation is the classic greedy algorithm which recursively splits a sequential data set by optimizing some loss or likelihood function. Binary segmentation is widely used for changepoint detection in data sets measured over space or time, and as a sub-routine for decis...

Real estate risk exposure in the financial sector: international evidence

Purpose The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of real estate risks on the dynamics of financial sector stock returns, using a sample of countries across Asia and Oceania, Europe and North America, from January 2000 to December 2024, a period marked by significant crises...

From IT-enabled organisational transformation to digital transformation: leadership strategies for value creation in manufacturing

Digital Transformation (DT), which encompasses Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, has been conceptualised and often paralleled with IT-Enabled Organizational Transformation (ITOT) by academia and practitioners. Despite their shared foundation in organisational transformation, the goa...

Multiscale characterization of cortical signatures in positive and negative schizotypy:a worldwide ENIGMA study

Positive and negative schizotypy reflect distinct patterns of subclinical traits in the general population associated with neurodevelopmental and schizophrenia-spectrum pathologies. Yet, a comprehensive characterization of the unique and shared neuroanatomical signatures of these...

Learning German Language & Culture

We start studying german language & culture. The Carreer opportunities are great.

The Art of Printing [3D Engineering & Advanced Geometry]

There are sequences of actions that we repeat everyday. Among them is the printing action: print a numeric paper in pdf format and save it on your computer, or print it using a Xerox Machine or HP-printer. We found out we can do More: Let us Print in 3D Dimension, and investigate...

Exploration of Physiotherapists' Understanding and Application of Safety Netting Procedures in France—A Qualitative Study

BACKGROUND: Physiotherapists in primary care frequently manage patients with musculoskeletal disorders that may conceal serious underlying pathologies, leading to diagnostic uncertainty. Although safety netting is recommended to enhance diagnostic reasoning and ensure patient saf...

Association of Nutrient-, Food-, and Lifestyle-Based Oxidative Balance Scores with Liver Enzymes in Older Adults Across Cardiovascular-Risk Groups

Diet and lifestyle are modifiable determinants of oxidative balance through their influence on exposure to antioxidant and pro-oxidant factors. The oxidative balance score (OBS) is a composite index that reflects the balance between these exposures, with higher scores indicating...

Cognitively engaging sedentary activities are associated with better cognitive function in middle-aged adults: a cross-sectional study using the 1970 British Cohort Study

Abstract Background Prior research examining sedentary time and cognitive function has produced mixed findings with limited attention to specific types of sedentary behavior. This cross-sectional study tested the hypothesis that more cognitively active sedentary behaviors (playin...

The efficacy of ketogenic interventions on neuropsychological & metabolic outcomes in serious mental illness & neurocognitive disorders: a systematic review & meta-analysis

Ketogenic interventions have garnered attention for their potential benefits in individuals with psychiatric and neurocognitive disorders. This review analyzed findings from studies investigating the impact of ketogenic interventions on clinical outcomes in individuals with serio...

SynBio 8.0: A Portrait of a Growing Canadian Ecosystem

The 8th edition of the Annual Canadian Synthetic Biology Symposium (SynBio 8.0) was hosted at the University of Waterloo from June 15 to 17th. It brought together around 140 attendees from across Canada, as well as international participants. Organized by the Waterloo Centre for...

A synthetic multivariate refrigerator time-series dataset for predictive maintenance

This dataset contains synthetic multivariate time series generated for 27 refrigerators using a simplified physics-inspired simulator at one-minute resolution. Each refrigerator is simulated under its own configured operating and usage conditions, including ambient conditions, do...

Crystalline/amorphous silicon and silica Bragg reflectors for gravitational wave detectors

Coating thermal noise is a major source of noise in gravitational wave detection. In order to reduce this noise, we investigate the use of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers as Bragg reflectors. First, we show different architectures, such as multi-SOI as top and bottom layers, in...

Do methodological limitations and confounding factors explain the apparent acceleration of cognitive decline in older adults taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements?

Equivalent Numeric Approved Identity of Passport and Immigration Papers -- The Next Generation Identification Program (NGI) [A Short Introduction]

We express an interest to Equivalent Numeric Approved Identity of Passport and Immigration Papers. [We are making a submission to the Journal of Banking and Financial Technology].

Persistence of entangled states and high-fidelity quantum gate operations in Si/SiGe spin qubits at high temperature

We characterize single- and two-qubit operations in a SiGe quantum dot array, from the perspective of its quantum information processing capabilities. The analysis includes rigorous randomized benchmarking of single- and two-qubit gates, state preparation and measurement characte...

Building a Stack for Systems Deployment

We are introducing few lines of methodology to start building Models & Systems for Deployment. We start first with Asana Platform and the Automated Fact-Checker [here]. More Collaboration Invitation will be sent to participate in the project.

Game Developments [Simulation and Convergence Scenarios]
