I'm reading a paper about graph theory and can't guess what could be meant with the Notation "$I\in\binom{V(G)\times V(H)}{\ell}$", where $\ell\in\mathbb{N}$ and $V(G),V(H)$ sets (of vertices of the graphs $G,H$). Later the notation "$\binom{V(G)\times V(H)}{\leq 2t}$" occurs for which I have no ...

We know that the word word can sometimes be a synonym for promise, as in: You have my word. to mean: You have my promise. And I haven’t seen any other sentence structures that word is used to mean promise in them. My question: When did word become a synonym for promise for the first time?

Respected community, I was wondering how weak would AES-128 be, if we provide only a 64 bit key with the other remaining 64 bits either zero bits or public constants, known to the attacker. Is it easy for the attacker to try $2^{64}$ guesses for the unknown part of the key? To gain more clarity t...

The quaternions can be defined as $$\mathbb{R}\langle X,Y\rangle/(X^2+1,Y^2+1,XY+YX)$$ From these relations, it is relatively easy to prove that $1,X,Y,XY$ span the quaternions over $\mathbb{R}$. But I cannot find any way to prove that this is a basis. The quaternions could alternatively be const...

What is a much better proof in mathematics, is it need to be a much more advanced one compared with the proof already available or a much simpler one?

I've just built a character who uses a magic item to cast a spell he can also cast himself (main reason...

Whenever I input # in Neovim I get delay. I tried to fix this with nnoremap # <nop> vnoremap # <nop> In my init.vim but that seemed to only fix it in non .tex environments. I assume this has something to do with the plugins I am using. Specifically, I suspect this is an issue with vimtex / ultis...

The equation for a known ellipse is: x^2/4 + y^2/3 == 1 The circumscribed rectangle of an ellipse, where the lines on all four sides of the rectangle are tangent to the ellipse. Draw a trajectory diagram of the four vertices of the rectangle and determine the range of the area of the rectangle. ...

Given any locally compact Hausdorff space $X$, let $C(X)$ denote the complex algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions on $X$. Question. Given an arbitrary character (i.e. a non-zero homomorphism of algebras) $\chi : C(X) \to \mathbf{C}$, is it true that there exists a (unique) $x \in X$...

I have installed blue traps for indoor plants, and I suspect they catched fungus gnats. However, I've read that fungus gnats are more attracted to yellow traps rather than blue ones. Blue traps are usually meant for thrips. What type of pest is shown in the picture (taken of one of the caught fli...

Is there an idiom for an unexpected solution? For more specificity, I want to write about how if you're sincere enough, sometimes you can find a solution in unexpected places.

Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. The ‘Most High’ translates the Hebrew adjective ‘Elyon’. What is the term which ‘Elyon’ is derived from and what is its significance?

A Filipino on a UK marriage visa is looking to travel back to the Philippines for a 2-week holiday and to take his spouse to meet the family. When leaving the Philippines, we are worried they may want lots of documents. Has anyone else been in this situation? Could you advise? Do we need to have ...

I would like to open a pdf with evince from the command line and after the evince window pops up, I want to go back to the terminal command with $ already waiting for the next command. Now if I run this, the pdf opens in a window, and when I go back to the terminal, I need to press enter to be ab...

In this forum, while discussing emptiness as supreme truth, I came across following comment which may be relevant from Mahayana point of view: "The realisation that things are not as how they appear in cultivated through emptiness of self (anatta) and emptiness of all phenomena." She says empti...

With three points a = {1, 2}, b = {2, 3}, c={-1, 5}. I tried to write the equation of parabola passing through given points like this. a = {1, 2}; b = {2, 3}; c = {-1, 5}; {m x^2 + n x + p} /. Solve[{m a[[1]]^2 + n a[[1]] + p == a[[2]], m b[[1]]^2 + n b[[1]] + p == b[[2]], m c[[1]]^2 + ...

In my lectures on groups and representations, we write the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition for addition of angular momenta $$r_{j_1}\otimes r_{j_2}=\bigoplus_{j=|j_1-j_2|}^{j_1+j_2}r_j\tag{1}$$ where $r_j$ is the irreducible representation of the $su(2)$ Lie algebra with angular momentum $j$. Howeve...

In standard lectures on advanced QFT one learnt that performing Legendre transformation leads to effective actions generating one-particle-irreducible (1PI) diagrams, which is encoded by Schwinger-Dyson equation. From the book by Altland and Simons, Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation provides an...

At the start of each day, the player sees a daily Today's Ooblets bulletin showing which ooblets are available that day and where. Is there some place to revisit this "ooblets of the day" view after the day begins?

On the STM32 Nucleo-144 eval board, there are 3 different ESD protection devices for the USB port: U19 = USBLC6-2SC6 U21 = ESDA7P60-1U1M U22 = ESDALC6V1-1U2 Source: https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-h745zi-q.html#cad-resources MB1363-H745ZIQ-D01 Schematics Can anyone give information ...

The Levene test is a statistical test that can be used to test the equality of variance between two samples. I have two paired samples (N = 751 per sample) that clearly have a very different variance, and I would like to statistically show that the two samples’ variance is different. Question: Is...

${\Lambda^a}_b$ compiles to the desired result: However, if I want to add both superscript and subscript on $\Bar{\Lambda}$, the superscript and subscript always align: I tried to add braces on different locations, but these attempts do not work, and they all compiles to the result above. \Bar ...

The Beacon (Eth 2.0 deposit) contract was once deployed using a certain (constructor) script, like every other contract on the EVM blockchain. While analyzing that constructor script, it seems that it would call the nonexisting address 0x02 during contract creation. What am I overlooking? I copie...

I would like to move a bunch of files like mv *.jpg /tmp/ But I would like to be asked for each file like mv --ask-me *.jpg /tmp/ do you want to move a.jpg? y/n y do you want to move b.jpg? y/n n is there a linux command for this task?

I have a radiator in a single room that appears to have a heat difference between input and output of around 27 degrees.(Input 55.9 output 28.1) Input 55.9 degrees Output 28.1 degrees The radiator itself is only measuring about 30 degrees and the room is not heating up significantly. Other radi...

Is this really that hard to eliminate variable t? It runs forever without any result. $$x=-\frac{t (2 t+1)}{4 t^5+1},u=-\frac{2 t}{t^2+1}$$ Eliminate[{x == -((t (1 + 2 t))/(1 + 4 t^5)), u == -((2 t)/(1 + t^2))}, t] Manually I got in few seconds this result (maybe it is not complete): -4 u^4 + 5 ...

Why doesn't proof of the weak Goldbach conjecture also prove the strong Goldbach conjecture? Actually I am referring to this link. My question is why the logic used in this question cannot be used to constitute a formal proof of the strong Goldbach conjecture? The comments made on that question w...

I walk my kids to school and pick them up, on my way, there is a house that -most of the time- keeps both of their gate doors open across the pavement perpendicular to their house, taking around 80% of the pavement in front of their house. Is this legal? I would think they are using it as a way o...

This post is a bit of a follow up to my prior post on the Clinical Psychology Ph.D program losing funding and (eventually) getting cut sometime in the future. From what I'm reading about public or private jobs, status as an R1 or R2 actually matters. If my university loses the R2 status (and goes...

I came across with the word "грамота" in the following sentence: Он открыл школы для обучения детей грамоте. I am trying to understand structures in the sentence and analyze it but I could not understand the case of "грамота" here, even though I understood the full meaning. But, I would express...

My glazed ceramic teapot has exhibited hairline cracks since I thrifted it. Tiny droplets of tea tend to bleed through, which probably means it isn’t foodsafe. After a small shock to the pot’s exterior, two long thin shards have fallen out, leaving a larger cavity (image below). I’m wondering wha...
