I'm conducting research on solar system dynamics, and found a list of asteroids in retrograde orbits, but none about the ones orbiting perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. Are there any detailed lists about such bodies, and where can I find them?

I've recenlty been greeted by CS8603 - Possible null reference return, which indicates that my code could possibly return null. It's a simple function that looks up an entity in a database by id - if it exists, it returns the entity. If not, it returns null. public TEntity Get(Guid id) { // R...

Consider a non-empty binary matrix M and a natural number n. For the purposes of this challenge, M is said to have blockiness n if it can be built using adjacent square blocks of size n, where each block has equal entries; and it cannot be formed using square blocks of any larger size. Intuitivel...

relatively new to philosophy. This question is based on John Searle's Chinese Room Argument. I find it odd that his main argument for why programs could not think was that because programs could only follow syntax rules but could not associate any understanding or semantics to words( or any objec...

The Bugbear has a trait called Long-Limbed that states: When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal. The Way of the Astral Self monk has a feature called Arms of the Astral Self that gives the monk many benefits, but the ones I want to focus on are...

I am trying to compile a C GUI application using GTK4. I was previously told here that both Ubuntu 21.04 and 21.10 would have both GTK3 and GTK4. However, when I installed Ubuntu 21.04 only GTK3 was present. I then did a dist-upgrade to 21.10 and found that both versions of GTK are native: user@u...

I'd like to have a Futoshiki puzzle in a document. It is a game similar to Sudoku, with the added information that there are signs between some adjacent cells that indicate which should contain a greater number.

I wrote the following code to read out a bill from a file and then putting it into a bills-list. The bill contains: "company", "customer", Year, Month, Day, Amount, "credit/debit" Is there a nicer way using list comprehension to make this code look better? def read_bills(file = "bills.csv"): """

If the word "Commandments" (plural) was actually meant to be written in [Deuteronomy 7:11], why does the [MT] show the singular word מִּצְוָה versus the [LXX] plural word ἐντολὰς?

I recently updated my python release from 3.8 to 3.10, using sudo update-alternatives --config python3, but this seems to have caused a problem with apt somewhere.

I have read what it says in this post but it's old and I would like to hear other opinions.

Let $[n]_q=\frac{1-q^n}{1-q}$ with $[0]_q=0$. Recall the $q$-factorials $[n]_q!=[1]_q[2]_q\cdots[n]_q$ (with $[0]_q!=1$) and the $q$-binomials $$\binom{n}k_q=\frac{[n]_q!}{[k]_q!\,[n-k]_q!}.$$ Now, consider the polynomials $$W_n(q):=\frac{1-q^{3n}}{1-q^{2n}}\binom{2n}n_q.$$ Examples. $W_1(q)=q^2+...

When teaching my first discrete math class recently, I found a subset of about 10% of my students who I struggled to reach. If these students simply struggled with the material this would be one thing, but they ended up disruptive to the rest of the classroom environment, so I would like suggesti...

An exercise asked us to prove that Lipschitz-continuity implies uniform continuity. I did it by picking $\delta = \frac{\varepsilon}{L}$ for $L > 0$ and $\delta = \varepsilon$ for $L=0$. The sample solution for the series has almost same result. Here is the solution in German, exercise 1. I compa...

On a Technics 1210 Mk2 turntable there is +/- 8% pitch control. Let’s say I have a track in Camelot key 11A at 130bpm. If I was to move the pitch from 0 to +1, how does this affect the change in key? Does this transpose up to 12A?

In comments on this answer User Suprcat wrote (in part) I think a big problem is that Marbury v.

As many of you may know, Luke Skywalker has long, wavy golden blond hair(just like me). But as others of you may know, his parents, Padme and Anakin, both had darker brown hair. So how did Luke get his luscious locks? Did Anakin cheat on Padme? Did someone mix the real Luke with a blond boy on th...

I want to calculate the Hawking temperature of the metric $$\mathrm ds^{2}=-\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{l^{2}}\right)\mathrm dt^{2}\ +\frac{\mathrm dr^{2}}{\left(1-\frac{r^{2}}{l^{2}}\right)}+\ r^{2}\mathrm dx^{2}.$$ Since the metric is diagonal, I guess the Hawking formula for the temperature of this m...

I am trying to prove mathematically that the update step in a Kalman filter can not result in a increase in uncertainty.

I noticed that the principal forms of verbs always only include the neuter participle form, e.g. vocare - voco, vocavi, vocatum Is there a reason I've never seen the following? vocare - voco, vocavi, vocatus Thanks for your answers.

I know f(x) = x^2 is continuous because it is defined in every point. My question is related to an idea I had. I am curious if formal mathematics has approached this same concept in a formal way. My idea is as follows If we evaluate f(x)=x^2 from x=1 to x=2, then the domain is [1<x<2] and the ra...

Nasa is making plans to de-orbit the ISS safely over the pacific ocean, this eventually leads to the question of whether or not an ISS module can survive reentry (survive meaning it is recognizable upon being retreived)

On some computer games it is common to have a setting that disables friendly fire, it does not prevent shooting but it the bullets don't harm friend players.

I'm trying to describe an 'open' padlock hanging from a latch. ['open', so a character can lock someone else in the following paragraph] Is 'open' the right term? I've also seen 'unsecured', 'unlocked', and 'free', but I'm not sure which term is of common use in American English.

Here's my schematic. A current source is driving a resistive sensor. The sine wave is to mimic the behavior of the current real supply and doesn't play a role in the distortion. It's approximately constant. The distortion goes away if I disconnect the signal from the in-amp input, so it must hav...

I've been playing around with octatonic and enneatonic (sp?) scales of 8 and 9 discrete notes (not including the octave, of course).

According to what I have read, stars are formed due to the accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. But then, if space is a vacuum, then what is that gas that gets accumulated?

Since graphene material is the strongest manmade material, with "magical" properties, I wonder if it could be considered for use as a heat shield, since its melting point is 3000 to 5000 K stacked at 10 layers thick, which is higher than reentry temperatures.

Almost all the fruits are acidic in nature, but why? At least, fruits like apples should be neutral right? But although apple is sweet, it is acidic. Why?

Velocity is a vector quantity. Then why do most of the people never use direction? Most of them usually say that 'a car is moving at a velocity of 10 m/s'. But that doesn't indicate direction. Then, is that right?

Later editions of C.S. Lewis 'The Magician's Nephew' have been edited, presumably to reflect modern usage.

Q. The number of three element sets of positive distinct integers {a, b, c} such that the product abc = 15015 is ? My approach:- 15015 = 1 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 Now I thought of this problem as 6 distinct balls (1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13) to be distributed in 3 distinct boxes (a, b, c), such that each b...

I am refreshing my C++ programming skills, and I'm currently reading the book C++ 17 by Ivor Horton.
