Real space tests of the statistical isotropy and Gaussianity of the WMAP CMB data [PDF]
ABRIDGED: We introduce and analyze a method for testing statistical isotropy and Gaussianity and apply it to the WMAP CMB foreground reduced, temperature maps, and cross-channel difference maps.

Results from the Atacama B-mode Search (ABS) Experiment [PDF]
The Atacama B-mode Search (ABS) is an experiment designed to measure cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization at large angular scales ($\ell>40$). It operated from the ACT site at 5190~m elevation in northern Chile at 145 GHz with a net sensitivity

The impact of economic news on bond prices: evidence from the MTS platform [PDF]
Although there is an extensive literature on the impact of macroeconomic announcements on asset prices, the bond market has received less attention than the foreign exchange and equity markets, even less if we consider the European market.

Reionization and Cosmology with 21 cm Fluctuations [PDF]
Measurement of the spatial distribution of neutral hydrogen via the redshifted 21 cm line promises to revolutionize our knowledge of the epoch of reionization and the first galaxies, and may provide a powerful new tool for observational cosmology from ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Two-Season ACTPol Spectra and Parameters [PDF]
We present the temperature and polarization angular power spectra measured by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol). We analyze night-time data collected during 2013-14 using two detector arrays at 149 GHz, from 548 deg$^2$ of sky on the ...

Anti-cyclonic eddy imprint on calcite geochemistry of several planktonic foraminiferal species in the Mozambique Channel [PDF]
Hydrographic conditions in the Mozambique Channel are dominated by the passing of large anticyclonic eddies, propagating poleward into the upstream Agulhas area.

Microaneurysms detection in color fundus images using machine learning based on directional local contrast [PDF]
BACKGROUND: As one of the major complications of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness due to delayed diagnosis and intervention. Microaneurysms appear as the earliest symptom of DR.

Gridded and direct Epoch of Reionisation bispectrum estimates using the Murchison Widefield Array
We apply two methods to estimate the 21~cm bispectrum from data taken within the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) project of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA).
