Say I'm interpreting my MLR and writing about one of my independent variables and it is an index (0-1), the coefficient is 4.169* . My dependent variable is in units degrees celsius. How do I interpret this so that I can say "a % increase in this independent variable corresponds to a x% increase/...

https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.08408 says the following action \begin{align} L = \pi_\phi \dot{\phi} + \pi_f \dot{f} - (\pi_\phi^2 + \pi_f e^\phi)\tag{2.1} \end{align} reduces to a Schwarzian action $L = \{f,\tau\}$. dot means $\tau$ derivative. They says we can show this by Enforcing the constraint...

John 8:44 ESV "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.

If we seek a methodology for evaluating claims that fosters a high degree of agreement among individuals, one common approach is to base evaluations on empirical evidence. According to Wikipedia: Empirical evidence is evidence obtained through sense experience or experimental procedure. It is of...

In crafts such as the LM and even the Starship, I’ve heard the walls to be ‘paper thick aluminium’ which I feel is an extreme oversimplification. However I am aware that the walls are in-fact, pretty thin. My question is, why aren’t the walls just thicker as these crafts have to sustain external ...

Unsure whether this is an appropriate question for this forum, but I was looking into ways to use road bike levers with v-brakes and stumbled on this reddit post. The claim, which I have no reason to doubt, is that a single Problem Solvers Travel Agent was $15 6 years ago (at the time of the thre...

Like final -m and final -n which did exist to common knowledge, did final -t exist? Portuguese sources speak of Japanese possessing a final -t in the past, but I am unsure if it about it's existence. Does anyone know if this really was a common feature of Japanese in the past?

Let $A = (O, (e_x,e_y,e_z))$ be the standard frame in $\mathbb R^3$, such that $O = (0,0,0)$ and $(e_x,e_y,e_z)$ is the standard basis. Additionally, let $B = (O, (b_x,b_y,b_z))$ be a moving frame in $\mathbb R^3$ with respect to $A$ with the same origin as $A$ but a different basis (i.e. $(b_x,b...

As the title says, if $\mathcal{A}$ is an abelian variety over $\mathbb{Q}_p$, is there a criterion as to if I should expect there to exist $A$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $$\mathcal{A}\cong A\times_{\mathbb{Q}}\mathbb{Q}_p?$$ I'm not aware of even a necessary condition, sorry for the naive quest...

I came across this little circuit in an audio amplifier and I just wanted to ask if this is a certain configuration of VBE multiplier, if so what is the purpose of using the Q651 PNP BJT?

This connector is used on Oxford Instruments cryostats. I can get spares, but it would be nice to overcome some of the shortcomings if there's something compatible . There's text "M10S" but that doesn't lead to anything helpful when paired with relevant search terms. The hexagon (slightly dama...

From time to time, my chain falls off the rear sprockets, and then gets stuck between sprockets and spokes. Apparently this is because my gears are losing their adjustment. When I re-adjust them every 1-2 months, the problem does not occur. However: As an additional safeguard, I would like to ins...

The task is to find the current between P and Q if there was a wire connecting them. In another similar question there's just an ammeter between them and you're supposed to find how much current it will measure.

Background: I have been running a large number of MD simulations in in the 2022 build of Amber for the last two years, as it is what I had available on my local supercomputer center.

A Dailymail article embellishing news of an archeological find of a Chinese bowl fragment dated between 1520 to 1570 says: Fruitful, peaceful contact between Jewish and Chinese traders may, in fact, date as far back as the Old Testament, with a passage in the Book of Isaiah (49:12) that makes re...

The wires of an old lamp burned off inside the non-polarized plug. I have a new polarized plug. One of the two copper wires on the old lamp cord appears to be slightly larger than the other. Is it correct to assume that the apparently larger wire should go on the larger prong?

How can I justifiably believe that a theorem is correct? Option 1: By trusting the testimony of one or more reliable mathematicians who claim to have peer-reviewed and verified the theorem's correctness. Option 2: By personally reviewing the proof of the theorem step by step, using my own cognit...

If $\mathcal{M}=(\mathcal{S}, \mathcal{I})$ is a matroid with non-zero rank does every singleton (as a set containing only one element of $\mathcal{S}$) appears in at least one base of $\mathcal{M}$?

I'm considering the complete 3- partite graph G on the six labelled vertices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 which consists of the three parts (not edges) {1,4}, {2,3}, {5,6}. (These three sets form a partition of the vertex set.) To make G 3-partite complete, we need 12 edges. According to Kirchhoff's theorem,...

Let $F$ be a field and $A\in GL(n,F)$ a cyclic matrix, hence there exists a $v \in F^n =: V$ such that $v, Av, ..., A^{n-1}v$ span $V$. Now let $B \in GL(n,F)$ be a matrix which is similar to $A$, so there exists a $X \in GL(n,F)$ such that $XAX^{-1} = B$. An equivalent characterisation of cycli...

Both “clear” and “clearly” can be used as an adverb. I wonder which one’s more idiomatic in vernacular. For example, when you say You didn’t say it clear(ly) I couldn’t see it clear(ly) You didn’t write it clear(ly) which one’s more idiomatic in vernacular: “clear” or “clearly”? The same ques...

I am trying to use the code below in a batch file to process over 700 GeoTIFF images.

I am trying to model a helmet. However, for some reason, the shading looks weird even for the flat shading regime. It seems that it tries to visualize more faces/quads than there actually are.

5-10 years ago, I watched a French movie on Netflix. I believe it had a French title as well, and I recall thinking it was a rather niche film, even at the time.

For four values and basic operands, there are 1170 inequivalent expressions (A140606). For example, $a+b$ and $b+a$ are equivalent. While testing my code for this, I came across the following: $\begin{array}{cc} 1 & \{\text{(((13-11)$\times $9)-17)}\} \\ 2 & \{\text{(17-(11+(13-9)))},\text{((17...

One can think of an infinite number of hypotheses that explain the same data. In Bayesianism, hypotheses have certain prior probabilities of being true (i.e. their probability of being true prior to coming across any evidence for or against them). Now, if one assigns prior probabilities in such a...

I read this book at least 20 years ago. It's set in the future. Nuclear weapons are banned, so conflicts are resolved by hiring mercenaries groups as proxies.

It's standard that the front face of black keys on the piano are sloped away from the musician. Why is that?

A Fermionic field $\psi$ is defined as a field over spacetime taking values in a Grassmann algebra $\mathcal{G}$. Why is the Grassmann algebra $\mathcal{G}$ usually taken to be infinite dimensional?

How would the mathematics of electromagnetism and physical interpretation change if the gauge used a difference instead of a sum? In other words, what would this gauge do: $$\frac{1}{c}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} - \nabla \cdot A=0$$ Instead of the Lorenz gauge: $$\frac{1}{c}\frac{\partial \...

I was told to make a separate question on this to keep focus given the implications of this question. As a reminder, Occam's razor states that you should prefer the hypothesis that has fewer assumptions when comparing hypotheses that explain the same evidence. In Solomonoff's theory of inductive ...
