I have a polygon that is formed using Quick OSM. After that, I add an area calculation field to it, automatically using the QGIS tools. How can I use PyQGIS to get the sum of the areas of the selected parts of the polygon multiplied by 5 and display the answer in the Python Console?

$$\DeclareMathOperator{\tr}{\operatorname{tr}} \tr(\log A) = \log \det A$$ because of its well-known identity. Importantly, it is easier for a computer to find the log determinant than to compute the matrix logarithm. I want to rewrite $\tr(B \log A)$ in the same way. We apply the power rule the ...

I would like to know if I can use l3keys to process multiple submodules as pgfoption can do ? Here is a MWE to illustrate my question: a package file mypkg.sty (containing in comment the error I get when I try to compile the LaTeX file): \ProvidesExplPackage{mypkg}{2024/01/01}{v0.0.0}{mypkg tes...

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $n$ a positive integer. For each $i= 1,2,…,n$ let $x_i\in R[x_1,…,x_n]$ be defined by $x_i(\epsilon_i)=1_R$ and $x_i(u)=0$ for $u\neq \epsilon_i$. (i) For each integer $k\in N$, $x_i^k(k\epsilon_i) = 1_R$ and $x_i^k(u) = 0$ for $u\neq k\epsilon_i$; (ii) for ea...

I already use one of those cheap AliExpress 5-port ethernet switches. Conveniently, I can operate this switch on a 5V USB port. Now I have seen that there is also an 8-port version. This has two strange features that I can't clearly identify from the description. VLAN switch Uplink labled port ...

I am thinking of an alternate way of saying I [nip off] to the local store with my dog every day. The alternative should include a replacement for the verb ‘nip off to’ and give the meaning of going somewhere discreetly.

I want to paint my garage door, but the old brown rubber holding in the glass will clash with the color I'm thinking of. Is it possible to remove the rubber (and glass) and then replace it with a new color after painting? Garage door is a basic Raynor metal panel door of presumably 80s-90s vintag...

3D printers are common and cheap. An e-beam lithographer doesn't seem much more difficult; laying down the photoresist seems pretty similar, and drawing lines with an e-beam doesn't seem very hard. Why are e-beam lithographers not as commonplace as 3D printers?

I was a participant in research/“quality improvement” without informed consent that was life threatening. There has been an IRB investigation going on since June. And an investigation by a publisher of a journal where two articles were published with me as a participant. I am very unfamiliar with...

The Gulf countries have been hosting millions of foreign workers for decades, however almost all of them were on restricted temporary visas which provided no viable path to citizenship and have thus left the country at the end of their work contract. Most were also not allowed to bring in their f...

I have been trying to use this expression in the QGIS raster calculator: 1 / (1 + exp(-(β0 + β1 * RasterX1 + β2 * RasterX2 + ... + βn * RasterXn))) The above expression has been replaced with the relevant coefficients and raster surfaces. However, the expression seems to be invalid. After testin...

Formulation 1 below is the one used in the classical set theory (used in the traditional mathematics), right? Formulation 1 Primitive notions: set, be element of, equality. Axiom: A set $A$ is equal to a set $B$ if all elements of $A$ are elements of $B$ and vice-versa. Instead of taking equali...

I'm trying to figure out the coloring of the following graph. There are three "rings" in the graph that are connected, the inner ring has 5 vertices, the outer ring has 5 vertices and the middle ring has 10 vertices. All vertices have degree 3, but I'm not able to come up with a coloring that use...
