Trick Rider
<p><em>Trick Rider</em> is a book-length poem in four sections, which uses characteristics of the epic and gothic, as well as strategies of chance operations, to explore the compositional process in relation to time, how time is experienced during the writing process and is communicated through the …

The Weak Lensing Hat-Trick: Constraining Cosmology with Galaxy, CMB, and Kinematic Lensing
We are entering an exciting decade in which weak gravitational lensing surveys are probing the universe with unparalleled volume and precision. These surveys will produce not only high-quality images of hundreds of millions of galaxies and high-resolution microwave sky maps, but also create …

What is the Multi-Party Trick? Language and Interactions in Multi-Party Conversations during the Era of LLMs
Multi-Party Conversations (MPCs) are a common conversational scenario taking place in everyday life, from informal spoken discussions to large-scale debates on social media platforms. Modeling and processing such type of conversations provide important challenges for Natural Language Processing …

"They're trying to trick us!": Making sense of anti-oppressive children's literature in the elementary school classroom
This study examines how children make sense of “anti-oppressive” children’s literature in the classroom, specifically, books that integrate and promote positive portrayals of gender non-conformity and sexual diversity. Through a feminist poststructural lens, I conducted ethnographic observations …

Using Markerless Motion Capture and Principal Component Analysis to Classify BMX Freestyle Tricks
… a novel Bicycle Motocross (BMX) Freestyle (FS) trick classification technique developed for the Australian Cycling Team. The first step is tracking six key points on the athlete and their bike using DeepLabCut, an opensource markerless motion capture software. Next, a Principal Component …

The effects of interruptions on decision-making with applications in medicine
… problems (i.e. basic arithmetic problems) and trick problems, designed in such a way to lead the reader down an incorrect path. Results from these studies were mixed. While there was some evidence that interruptions may make people more susceptible to falling for the trick answer, this finding …

Some aspects of fitting multinomial models in a GLM framework
… logit model without recourse to the Poisson trick approach of Francis et al. (1992). The method given here also allows us to find the ‘hat - matrix’ as is needed in the calculation of leverages and Cook’s distances. These statistics in general can be used for diagnostic purposes or to detect …

Liminal blankness : mixing race and space in monochrome's psychic surface
… specific ways monochrome evades, undermines and tricks commonly accepted `groundrules' of Art History. The Phallic reader is severely restricted in understanding that which falls outside of the signifying logic of a particular system of Art History that follows a binary, teleological and …

Quantization of anomalous gauge theories
… methods with the use of the Faddeev-Popov trick. To shed some light into the physical significance of the WZ field we discuss a simple quantum mechanical model, the ""amputated planar rotor"". In this context the WZ field presents itself as a topological charge for the model. Possible …

Converting to Optimization in Machine Learning: Perturb-and-MAP, Differential Privacy, and Program Synthesis
… where an existing algorithm -- the Gumbel trick -- for converting to the MAP optimization problem is generalized into a more general family of algorithms, such that other instances of this family have better statistical properties. Second, this family of algorithms is further generalized to …

Chemical demonstrations: a compendium of resources in print and on the Internet
… continuum between laboratory exercise and magic trick; but it is not my intention here to debate the pedagogical implications of a chemical demonstration's place in that continuum. I assume simply that the reader is in a position to motivate and excite students about chemistry and will benefit …

"""For craft recoils in the end"": The oppositional stagecraft of Thomas Middleton"
… Tragedy; The Second Maiden's Tragedy; A Trick to Catch the Old One; The Witch; and Women Beware Women. Although traditional criticism of the plays is taken into account, the approach throughout is stage-oriented; this study shows how the theatrical dimension modifies the verbal discourse …

Formation of Nitrous Acid on Urban Surfaces
Nitrous acid (HONO) has been observed in the nocturnal urban atmosphere for decades. During daylight hours, the rapid photolysis of HONO is a significant source of OH-radicals, which drive tropospheric chemistry and ozone-formation. Recently, unexpected high values of HONO have been detected during …

The wonder of magic : eliciting wonder and amazing its expression
… wonder that occurs while watching a good magic trick or admiring a gorgeous natural vista is a strong emotion that has not been well studied. Educators, media producers, entertainers, scientists and magicians could all benefit from a more robust understanding of wonder. This exploration proposes …

The Design of Linearized Power Amplifier for Wireless Communications
… techniques were suggested in the literatures to trick the tradeoff between linearity and efficiency. So we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of those techniques. In addition we suggest a new technique called Power Amplifier Linearization using a Mirror Predistorter. This technique is based …

Fix kerékpáragy tervezése extrém célra
… fix kerékpáragyat terveztem, másnéven egy Trick-Track hátsó agyat. Célként tűztem ki, hogy rendkívül strapabíró legyen. Ez az agy két fontos pontját érintette, a csapágyazást és a fogaskerék rögzítését. A csapágyazást két SKF golyóscsapágy látja el, melyek mélyhornyú és dupla soros …

EXPLORATIONS IN QUANTUM GRAVITY AND CONFORMAL BOOTSTRAP
… hole information paradox. Using the replica trick for computing the entropy of Hawking radiation, we found a new saddle-point in the gravitational path integral. This saddle-point corresponds to a wormhole solution connecting different replica sheets. By including this saddle, we showed that …
