here Feasts associated with relics have occurred since antiquity.They play a major role in the life of both the Catholic and Orthodox churches.In contemporary practice, relic feasts often include both religious and secular events, which are especially significant in small cities that possess relics of a patron saint.This paper analyses the feasts a
The Contemporary Challenge of the Sea: Science, Society, and Sustainability
The ocean covers nearly 71% of the surface of our planet, but it is still largely unexplored despite its fundamental roles in global food production and climate regulation.The most expansive ocean regions, termed subtropical gyres (Figure 1), are the largest ecosystems on Earth, yet we know little about how they are structured, how they function, o
Overview of neutron interferometry at NIST
Neutron interferometry at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is a well-established program that performs experiments in here a wide range of areas including materials science, quantum information, precision measurements of coherent and incoherent scattering lengths, and dark energy/fifth force searches.Central to the continued succe
Not-quite-transcendental Functions for Logarithmic Interpolation of Tabulated Data
From tabulated nuclear and degenerate equations of state to photon and neutrino rubbermaid 8 gallon trash can opacities and nuclear reaction rates, tabulated data is ubiquitous in computational astrophysics.The dynamic range that must be covered by these tables typically spans many orders of magnitude.Here we present a novel strategy for accurately
Brain tumor image segmentation method using hybrid attention module and improved mask RCNN
Abstract To meet the needs of automated medical analysis of brain tumor magnetic resonance imaging, this study introduces an enhanced instance segmentation method built upon mask region-based convolutional neural network.By incorporating squeeze-and-excitation networks, a channel attention mechanism, and concatenated attention neural network, a spa
