In Avengers: Endgame, Hulk/Banner (smart hulk?) is the default form for Bruce Banner. However, in the credits scene of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Bruce is shown as a standard human (or as standard human as Banner gets). Why is he no longer Smart Hulk by the time of Shang-Chi?

Given the primal $$\max z= 5x_1-4x_2+3x_3$$ subject to $2x_1+x_2-6x_3=20$ $ 6x_1+5x_2+10x_3\leq 76$ $8x_1-3x_2+6x_3\geq 50$ with $x_1\in \mathbb{R}, x_2\geq 0,x_3\leq 0$. The question is to construct the dual and find the dual solution using complementary slackness theorem if at the primal's opti...

The following question is given in a section 2 lecture of linear algebra. The first section is about polynomial, so the lectures just started to talk about determinants and matrices.

If there are two independent random variables, $X_1$ and $X_2$, then I define two other random variables $Y_1$ and $Y_2$, where $Y_1 = f_1(X_1,X_2)$ and $Y_2 = f_2(X_1,X_2)$. Can $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ be deemed independent? If there is dependence, what would be the penalty for neglecting this dependenc...

I heard a Pastor/teacher say that Jesus cursed the fig tree because it is written in the Old Testament (maybe Isaiah, I don’t remember where they said it was) that when the righteous approach, a tree should bear fruit and the tree did not, that is why Jesus answered by cursing the tree. Do you kn...

For the integral $$\int 2 \cos x \sin x \text{d}x,$$ a $u$-substitution with $u = \sin x$ leads to $$\int 2 u \text{d}u = 2 \cdot \frac{u^2}{2}+C= u^{2}+C = \sin ^{2}x + C.$$ On the other hand, using the double-angle formula $2 \sin x \cos x = \sin \left(2x\right)$, the original integral can be ...

But now I'm currently stuck in the part where I need to identify outliers in the dataset. I'm focusing on the 'ride_length' column ...

Anyone know where in treasurydirect.gov website we setup tax withholding for interest accrued owning T-Bills and Notes?

I am trying to identify the questions and understand how to make a decision as to whether I should use an in-swing or out-swing exterior door.

My asparagus fern has died due to lack of water (that is, I forgot about it). When I was eliminating it I found glassy bulbs in the soil: I was wondering if these can be revived if I put them in wet soil until they have enough water to start growing again.

So I have just started learning LWC, and upon making a new component (helloWorld) on trailhead, when I try and upload to the org, I get the following error: force-app/main/default/lwc/helloWorld/helloWorld.js LWC1503: Parsing error: This experimental syntax requires enabling one of the following...

Person A: "Why is 1 + 1 = 2?" Person B: "Because if you collect one apple, and then collect another apple, 1 apple + 1 apple = 2 apples, so you now have 2 apples in total" The fallacy of Statement 2 is that the statement is an effect of Statement 1 but not a cause of it (adding apples together ...

Summary of his argument: Every limited thing's existence has a cause. The universe is limited. Therefore, the universe's existence must have a cause. Now, naturally, the question arises: what caused the universe? Andalusi responds: God created the universe. Now, one might ask, who created God? ...

I'm currently working on a video game that will make use of a heavily simplified patched-conic model of the Solar System. I was wondering about some discrepancies between my own calculations as well as public data. Take the equation derived in this post for the radius of a Hill sphere in a two-bo...

I have had an assignment for which I was supposed to calculate the maximum volume of the figure. I have done it and found my maximum points in the figure. The assignment does not require to plot the result of the maximum volume of the figure. However I would still like to plot the result. I do kn...

There are many famous examples demonstrating how adding rational numbers infinite times can give us non rational numbers notably the Basel problem: $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$$ but on the other hand, in basic algebra course we are introduced that $$ (\mathbb{Q}, + ) $$ i...

Some context: I'm a newbie DM running a campaign which requires the party to do a lot of scouting and infiltration missions. Especially in buildings. It's a city campaign happening in Waterdeep so I expected the party to do a lot of lock picking, disguise self and other similar standard "stealthy...

I have two identical frames, other than age. A 2016 Production Privee Shan 27 and a 2019 Production Privee Shan 27. The 2016 Shan 27 was running full XTR, with an M9100 crankset. This is 162mm QF, 175mm crank and compatible with 142/148 O.L.D. The bottom bracket is a wheels manufacturing BB92 pre...

The analytic expression can be obtained for f. f = Integrate[AiryAi[x], x] -((x (-3 Gamma[1/3] Gamma[5/3] HypergeometricPFQ[{1/3}, {2/3, 4/3}, x^3/9] + 3^(1/3) x Gamma[2/3]^2 HypergeometricPFQ[{2/3}, {4/3, 5/3}, x^3/ 9]))/(9 3^(2/3) Gamma[2/3] Gamma[4/3] Gamma[5/3])) Therefore, the minimum val...

Which one is the correct one? Or do they depend if we're using American/British English? A: She went there after the summer break was over. or B: She went there after summer break was over. A British friend says A is the correct one; an American friend says B is the correct one. And I'm left wond...

I am trying to find the solution to a homogenous differential equation of 2rd order. For that I use DSolve[]. What I get is a single expression, which should be the solution. But I am asked to find all the solutions of it. Is there a way in Mathematica to find all the solutions and not simplify a...

As I understand it, impedance has an imaginary and a real part. To be able to perform any useful calculations, one needs to know both. Cables and speakers usually only say like "8 Ω" or "75 Ω". Is that purely resistive? If so, what is so special about 75 Ω that all coaxial cables have that resist...

I heard that given family of probability spaces $(\Omega_{\alpha}, \mathcal{F}_{\alpha}, \mu_{\alpha})_{\alpha \in A}$, there exist product measure $\mu$ on product sigma-algebra (smallest sigma-algebra containing sets of the form $ \prod_{i \in I}E_i \times \prod_{\alpha \in A \setminus I} \Omeg...

In a videogame called "Heroes of Hammerwatch", there is an area in which players can try to solve a riddle to obtain loot. The riddle works like this: The area contains a 3 by 3 field of squares, some of them glowing and some of them not. Stepping on any square "flips" that square and its neighbo...

1. Background Crossing problem in quantile regression can be observed when we want to estimate several conditional quantiles (e.g. τ = 0.1, 0.2, . . . , 0.9), as two or more estimated conditional quantile functions could cross or overlap. However, a higher percentile must have more points below i...

I've heard of using a 'clock' to help manage encounters and create tension, but how do you create and use one within a campaign/session/encounter? I have seen it used in other games, like Scum and Villainy, but using them for 5e is something not covered in WotC books and I would like to know how ...

I am trying to align decimal in this table by using tabularray package. My code \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \UseTblrLibrary{diagbox} \usepackage{siunitx} \sisetup{output-decimal-marker={,}} \begin{document} \begin{table}[htbp] \centering \begin{tblr}{ c...

I have an anisotropic image that is anisotropic both in terms of number of voxels and also in terms of voxel resolution. 1. Number of voxels: 256x512x96 (wxhxd). 2. Voxel resolution: 0.5x0.5x2.0 micrometer (wxhxd). Now, to perform uniform Gaussian blurring, I need to choose different sigma val...

I am in need of help unwrapping the rifle butt of the shotgun that I am making. I already added some seams on the back part and it seems to be done well (correct me if I am wrong, but I am still new at advanced unwrapping). The problem is when I unwrap including the majority of the mesh, it is al...

I'm using a desktop PC with Windows 11 Home (22H2). I like operating my PC using keyboard shortcuts. I have used AutoHotKey to control several things, such as increasing/decreasing the volume (Win + F11/F12, moving to the next multimedia track (Win + F9), etc. However, I do not know how to assign...
