In my dataset, all the variables are highly correlated (correlation coefficient > 0.95). However, the correlation with the dependent variables is very low (<0.35). I checked the variation inflation factor (VIF), but it's 'inf' for some variables and very high (around 6 figures) for other variable...

When atomic nuclei fuse, energy is released. Is there anything about the CMB energy distribution that suggests that dark matter could have formed from other particles that released energy?

StorageTek STC 4305 is often referred as the first SSD. However, from the modern point of view, it looks more like a "hardware-implemented persistent cache", if possible. I mean that it works more like a fast volatile storage (RAM) backed by slow non-volatile memory (HDD). But how was the interac...

Arthur Koestler's The Sleepwalkers is well-known as both a group biography of Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler and Galileo and an account of the revolutionary turn in astronomy that, in Koestler's phrasing, they ‘sleepwalked’ through. I think it's an excellent text, and I'm not aware of that being a fr...

I started reading this book earlier this year at my library and haven’t been able to find it again. It is about a “dark” lord who was once part of a group of gods? God like beings? I think there were seven(maybe more, maybe less). They had some disagreement about how life should work (free will r...

Obviously, the Romans didn’t know anything about chocolate, since they had no access to any of the places cacao grew naturally.

I am restomoding a vintage Hi-C branded Schwinn road bike. There is no derailleur hanger on the drop outs so I am in need of an adapter claw. Can I remove this claw from the old derailleur or is the spring inside riveted and not threaded? Thanks in advance

Basically I have two questions related to decoupling capacitors: In the circuit of the image you can see a simplified representation of a decoupling capacitor in parallel with a power supply, but how can I calculate the initial current to charge the capacitor? Theoretically I_ch should have a ...

This question is prompted by an interesting comment discussion in a question I previously asked.

A man fulfills the negative mitzvah of not having relations with his sister perfectly - he never even thinks about doing it. This is because he has no sister. Does he get credit for this?

Looking for the title of a book in which nanomachines create city buildings, skyscrapers, and the like.

In flat-space QFT, consider a spinor operator $\phi_i$, taken to lie at the origin. Given a Lorentz transformation $g$, we have $$\tag{1} U(g)^\dagger \phi_i U(g) = D_{ij}(g)\phi_j$$ where $D_{ij}$ is some spinor projective representation of $SO^+(3,1)$, and $U$ is an infinite-dimensional unitary...

I was reading about weight initialization in neural networks (He et. al, 2015) when I came across this statement: "If we let $w_{l-1}$ have a symmetric distribution around zero and $b_{l} = 0$, then $y_{l-1}$ has zero mean and a symmetric distribution around zero." Where $y_{l-1}$ is given by $w_...

How can I set the margin in such a way that one page has a larger margin on the left side and the other one a larger margin on the right side? Update: I'm using the article document class.

I'm looking for a short story that I remember reading, probably in Asimov's (but perhaps in Analog or F&SF), probably in the mid 1990s (unlikely to have been before 1985, or later than 2000). The main features I remember of the story was that it took place on a toroidal planet or moon, and involv...

I need to refactor some paragraphs from an article. I would like to have: One split with the original version (not editable) Another split with the document to edit Is it possible?

My crush is a huge Phil nerd doing his phd and I want to impress him. I myself have a degree in Phil but I am not that good with it. I tried self teaching Phil of language, logic, modal logic (which are his fav topics) but I am lost as a headless chicken. Can anyone help me please? I have a full ...

The Artemis II mission will loiter in an elliptical, high-Earth orbit before the Orion uses its own propulsion to complete the trans lunar injection (tli), thus using the fuel it might’ve otherwise used to insert itself into lunar orbit. A traditional mission would use the launch vehicles upper ...

How can I get \boldsymbol to work when using the fontsetup package? LuaLaTeX without \usepackage{fontsetup} but with \usepackage{amsmath}: LuaLaTeX with \usepackage{fontsetup}: I'm using the following code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontsetup} \begin{document} $x$ and $\boldsym...

In the book i have reading defines the four-velocity like $$U^\mu=dx^\mu/d\tau.$$ The metric used is $\eta_{\mu\nu}=diag(-1,1,1,1)$. It is straightforward to show that the norm of the four-velocity is normalized, $$\eta_{\mu\nu}U^\mu U^\nu=\eta_{\mu\nu}\frac{dx^\mu}{d\tau}\frac{dx^\nu}{d\tau}=-c^...

Problem: I'm trying to create a .step list of values based on another parameter but none of the syntax I've tried seems to work. Example: In the voltage divider below, I'd like to step the values of R2 in multiples (1x, 1.5x, 2x) of R1. I can do this manually for a given R1 but I'd like to be abl...

Let $ q \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1,\dots,x_n] $ be a polynomial. Is there a good way to determine if $$ q=p^2 $$ for some polynomial $ p $? The first thing that comes to mind is that if $ q=p^2 $ then $$ \frac{\partial q}{\partial x_i}=2p \frac{\partial p}{\partial x_i} $$ So $ p $ should be a factor of ...

When defining an acronym, I define its long version in italics because I want it to be written out in italics in the actual text. However, when I print the acronyms in the acronyms table in the very beginning of the document, I want the long version to be non-italic. How can I do it? \documentcla...
