In a prediction market, traders buy and sell contracts linked to the outcome of real-world events such as “Donald Trump will be Re-Elected President on November 5, 2024”. Each contract (share) pays the bearer 1 dollar if the event happens by the given date, and expires worthless (0 dollars) otherwise. At any given time, therefore, these contracts trade between 0 and 1 dollar, the price...
The search to find habitable planets outside of our Solar System is made possible through the observational method of transit spectroscopy. Transit spectroscopy can help determine the chemical composition of an exoplanet’s atmosphere. This is achieved by analyzing the light that passes through the upper atmosphere of the planet as it transits in front of its host star. Clouds significantly...
The titanium oxide surface is responsible for many of the properties associated with the metal, creating a hard, uniform, and thermodynamically stable protective coating. Because of these characteristics, titanium has found uses in biomedical implants, aerospace engineering, corrosive industrial piping, and other areas where high strength and low weight are required. Our project is aimed on...
With the development of machine learning (ML) algorithms, attempts to use ML techniques like artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the binary black hole (BBH) and binary neutron star (BNS) merger gravitational wave (GW) detection have been made by W. Wei et al. (2021) and many others. Despite the surge of interest in all types of ANN architectures, time-frequency spectrograms remain one of the...
A fundamental problem that limits the functional capacity of a piezoelectric transducer in high-power applications is its intrinsic operational power loss. The phenomenon may generate a self-heating and temperature increase of the device, which in turn may degrade the piezoelectric material utilized in its implementation and finally the transducer performance. Thus, power loss reduction in...
