Results from the GMT Ground-Layer Experiment at the Magellan Telescopes [PDF]
We present results from our two year study of ground-layer turbulence as seen through the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. The experiment consists of multiple, moderate resolution, Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors deployed over ...

Knot traces and the slice genus [PDF]
Knot traces are elementary 4-manifolds built by attaching a single 2-handle to the 4-ball; these are the canonical examples 4-manifolds with non-trivial middle dimensional homology.

Are you serious? From fist bumping to hand hygiene: considering culture, context and complexity in infection prevention intervention research [PDF]
Infection prevention is an under-resourced research and development topic, with limited evidence for practice in the most basic of measures. A survey of IPS R&D members indicated that what might appear to be simple interactions and interventions in ...

Coupled Ensembles of Neural Networks
We investigate in this paper the architecture of deep convolutional networks. Building on existing state of the art models, we propose a reconfiguration of the model parameters into several parallel branches at the global network level, with each branch ...
