FS CMa type binaries [PDF]

open access: yesEAS Publications Series, 2015
FS CMa type stars is a group of ~70 objects formerly known as unclassified stars with the B[e] phenomenon. Their very strong emission-line spectra in combination with a nearly main-sequence luminosity suggest the binary nature for them.

The death of cost-minimization analysis? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Four different types of evaluation methods, cost-benefit analysis (CBA), cost-utility analysis (CUA), cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and cost-minimization analysis (CMA), are usually distinguished. In this note, we pronounce the (near) death of CMA by

The apparent overdensity of open clusters in the Canis Major overdensity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The exciting debate on the existence and nature of the relatively recent discovery of the so-called Canis Major (CMa) overdensity is re-examined here based on the positions, reddenings, ages and metallicities of Galactic open clusters (OCs).

CMA driver's guide [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Medical Association Journal, 2007
I have concerns about the CMA's guidelines on determining medical fitness to drive.[1][1] All Canadian provinces and territories currently use the medical standards produced by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA)[2][2] to determine the medical fitness of drivers.

Absolute Dimensions and Apsidal Motion of the Young Detached System LT Canis Majoris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
New high resolution spectra of the short period (P~1.76 days) young detached binary LT CMa are reported for the first time. By combining the results from the analysis of new radial velocity curves and published light curves, we determine values for the ...

Path integral policy improvement with differential dynamic programming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Path Integral Policy Improvement with Covariance Matrix Adaptation (PI2-CMA) is a step-based model free reinforcement learning approach that combines statistical estimation techniques with fundamental results from Stochastic Optimal Control. Basically, a

Self-Adaptive Surrogate-Assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents a novel mechanism to adapt surrogate-assisted population-based algorithms. This mechanism is applied to ACM-ES, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted variant of CMA-ES. The resulting algorithm, saACM-ES, adjusts online the lifelength

On-line Search History-assisted Restart Strategy for Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy

open access: yes, 2019
Restart strategy helps the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) to increase the probability of finding the global optimum in optimization, while a single run CMA-ES is easy to be trapped in local optima.

Red supergiants as potential Type IIn supernova progenitors: Spatially resolved 4.6 micron CO emission around VY CMa and Betelgeuse

open access: yes, 2008
We present high-resolution 4.6micron CO spectra of the circumstellar environments of two RSGs that are potential SN progenitors: Betelgeuse and VY CMa. Around Betelgeuse, 12CO emission within 3arcsec follows a mildly clumpy but otherwise spherical shell,
