Me and a few people are working on a super hot earth where the equator features a humid rainforest climate that sits around 40C - 45C degrees consistently, without any extreme changes in temperature.

I am a bit stuck on the following second order differential equation, using the method of undertermined coefficients. $$y'' + 3y' + 2y = xe^{-x}$$ The homogenous solution is easy to find, but I run into some issues with the particular solution. $y = Axe^{-x}$ doesn't seem to be a good enough gues...

If you drive a (modern or old) manual transmission car for 5000 km deliberately at 1 km/hr, you will burn through the clutch (long before you reach your destination). The idea is this.

In Forgotten Realms lore, what gods or deities make their home in one or more layers of the Nine Hells? (Asking for all editions of the D&D).

Consider two lists, A and B. To weave them together, we take the first element of A, then the first element of B, then the next element of A, the next element of B, and so on, ending with the last element of A.

I think in the story you're following 1 or 2 house cats as they are called to attend this gathering. When they get there, it is a Siames...

$a\in \mathbb{R}^n$ $a=(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n)$ lets define this to be equivalent to $(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n,0,0,0 \dots,0)$ (finite many zeros) by this I think we can make an $n \times m$ matrix $A$ equivalent to any $ p \times p$ $B$ matrix with $p\ge \max\{n,m\}$ by $B_{ij}= A_{ij}$ if $1\le i\le n$...

I have this mesh in Blender 4.1 and possibly more types of meshes with this type of pixelic art, but I can't figure out how I can smooth it out and turn it into a curve object. Don't worry about the square faces inside, this is just the initial mesh which I put a Limited Dissolve to remove all ...

When a PhD student wants to attend a conference to present a paper, a poster, or just to participate as an audience, who is supposed to pay for the fee? What is the rule of thumb?

I want to draw missing vertical lines in a tabular. I think \multirow{2}{*}{} prevents table's vertical line to be drawn. My code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[a4paper,margin=1in,landscape]{geometry} \usepackage{makecell} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin...

I am studying a thesis on the design of a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM). In section 2.6 (page 18) of this thesis, the following explanation is given about the difference between KEM and common methods: KEM is a method used by two parties to derive a symmetric key using public-key cryptograph...

Basic question Working with the sf library in R, how can I add M-values to a geometry that doesn't already have them? Or put differently, given an sf feature without M-values, how can I create a new object with the same coordinates as the original, but which also contains M-values (for example, j...

How to represent $U(t)$ (a unitary operator) in a code? Is there any package available for that in Python?

Or "does bread benefit from being in a sealed bag once frozen?" I bake bread rolls regularly and freeze them in sealed plastic bags, and then I thaw one or two at a time. Sometimes I don't bother resealing the bag afterwards, which leads me to this question. I've been assuming that sealed bags he...

I recently came across a recommendation from Microsoft regarding the configuration of Logical Volume Management (LVM) in cloud environments, and I find it somewhat puzzling. The recommendation states that while it's possible to configure LVM on any disk attached to a virtual machine (VM), most cl...

I have a really bad master thesis that's publicly available. I ran out of time and submitted it without proofreading it. Now it's publicly available and it has a lot of grammatical mistakes, nonsensical structure and flow, and a lot of in-text citing mistakes. My jury didn't even read it and gave...

I weekly organise a 10-15km long hiking session; for a logistic matter, it is always a loop (I end where I started...); and I always follow a rule-of-thumb: start from the "bottom" point. Thus, established the route, should I start from the "right" or the "left"? Here is an elevation profile of a...

Let $(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ be a locally ringed space such that $\mathcal{O}_X$ is locally notherian, and let $\operatorname{Coh}(\mathcal{O}_X)$ be the category of coherent $\mathcal{O}_X$-modules. The inclusion $\operatorname{Coh}(\mathcal{O}_X)\rightarrow \operatorname{Mod}(\mathcal{O}_X)$ induces...
