Social Capital in the Creation of Human Capital

There are two broad intellectual streams in the description and explanation of social action. One, characteristic of the work of most sociologists, sees the actor as socialized ...

Two new Later Stone Age sites from the Final Pleistocene in the Falémé Valley, eastern Senegal

Kenya one of the African countries has pledged to reduce neonatal death as per the 2030 World Health Organization target. Providing high-quality newborn care is critical in mini...

Comparative fit indexes in structural models.

Normed and nonnormed fit indexes are frequently used as adjuncts to chi-square statistics for evaluating the fit of a structural model. A drawback of existing indexes is that th...

Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow

The Special Issue "Numerical Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow 2022" contains scientific articles on experiments and simulations of heat transfer in compressible and incompressible f...

MobileNetV2: Inverted Residuals and Linear Bottlenecks

In this paper we describe a new mobile architecture, MobileNetV2, that improves the state of the art performance of mobile models on multiple tasks and benchmarks as well as acr...

<i>VESTA 3</i> for three-dimensional visualization of crystal, volumetric and morphology data

VESTA is a three-dimensional visualization system for crystallographic studies and electronic state calculations. It has been upgraded to the latest version, VESTA 3 , implement...

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance

Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance has been widely recognized for its important and influential concepts in areas of motivation and social psychology. The theory of...

Compressed sensing

Suppose x is an unknown vector in Ropf <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">m</sup> (a digital image or signal); we pla...

Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism

A new approach to the construction of first-principles pseudopotentials is described. The method allows transferability to be improved systematically while holding the cutoff ra...

<i>Ab initio</i>molecular-dynamics simulation of the liquid-metal–amorphous-semiconductor transition in germanium

We present ab initio quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics simulations of the liquid-metal--amorphous-semiconductor transition in Ge. Our simulations are based on (a) finite-tem...

Atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces: Applications of the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation

Generalized gradient approximations (GGA’s) seek to improve upon the accuracy of the local-spin-density (LSD) approximation in electronic-structure calculations. Perdew and Wang...
