Distance to the RR Lyrae Star V716 Monocerotis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present high quality BVRI CCD photometry of the variable star V716 Monocerotis (= NSV 03775). We confirm it to be an RR Lyrae star of variability type ab (i.e. a fundamental mode pulsator), and determine its metallicity ([Fe/H] = -1.33 +/- 0.25), luminosity (Mv = 0.80 +/- 0.06), and foreground reddening (E(B-V) = 0.05-0.17) from the Fourier ...

Association between fear of COVID-19 and hoarding behavior during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic: The mediating role of mental health status

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Hoarding behavior can effectively improve people's ability to resist risks, so as to reduce the negative effects of risks. However, excessive hoarding behavior will seriously reduce people's quality of life.

Startup Acquisitions: Acquihires and Talent Hoarding [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We study how competitive forces may drive firms to inefficiently acquire startup talent. In our model, two rival firms have the capacity to acquire and integrate a startup operating in an orthogonal market. We show that firms may pursue such acquihires primarily as a preemptive strategy, even when they appear unprofitable in isolation. Thus, acquihires,

The Mid-Infrared Spectrum of the Short Orbital Period Polar EF Eridani from the Spitzer Space Telescope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present the first mid-infrared (5.5-14.5 micron) spectrum of a highly magnetic cataclysmic variable, EF Eridani, obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The spectrum displays a relatively flat, featureless continuum. A spectral energy distribution model consisting of a 9500 K white dwarf, L5 secondary star, cyclotron ...

Relevance of hoarding behavior and the traits of developmental disorders among university students: a self-reported assessment study

open access: yesBioPsychoSocial Medicine, 2019
Background Previous studies have shown that hoarding behavior usually starts at a subclinical level in early adolescence and gradually worsens; however, a limited number of studies have examined the prevalence of hoarding behavior and its association ...

The Invisible Monster Has Two Faces: Observations of Epsilon Aurigae with the Herschel Space Observatory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present Herschel Space Observatory photometric observations of the unique, long-period eclipsing binary star Epsilon Aurigae. Its extended spectral energy distribution is consistent with our previously published cool (550 K) dust disk model. We also present an archival infrared spectral energy distribution of the side of the disk facing the bright F-

Hoarding disorder: a new diagnostic category in ICD-11?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Psychiatry, 2014
Despite the long-held view that hoarding is a symptom of both obsessive-compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, increased evidence has emerged during the last 20 years suggesting that hoarding represents a distinct form of ...

Temporal Discounting of Money and Face Masks During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Hoarding Level

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
The current study examines the association of individual hoarding levels with temporal discounting of different commodities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

White Dwarf - Red Dwarf Systems Resolved with the Hubble Space Telescope: I. First Results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
First results are presented for a Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys snapshot study of white dwarfs with likely red dwarf companions. Of 48 targets observed and analyzed so far, 27 are totally or partially resolved into two or more components, while an additional 15 systems are almost certainly unresolved binaries. These results provide

Hoard: A Distributed Data Caching System to Accelerate Deep Learning Training on the Cloud [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Deep Learning system architects strive to design a balanced system where the computational accelerator -- FPGA, GPU, etc, is not starved for data. Feeding training data fast enough to effectively keep the accelerator utilization high is difficult when utilizing dedicated hardware like GPUs.
