... As modern observatories evolve to production units delivering data products and calibrated scientific data to the end users, new challenges arise in assessing the quality of data products. ... Taking the analogy of speed control on a motorway we can describe the system as a device (radar) collecting measurements of the system performance (passing cars). ... One of the direct applications of quality control is the verification of instrument performance based on the analysis of calibration exposures. ...

... A simple Virasoro vertex algebra is rational (and -2 semisimple as well) iff its central charge is of the form c = 1 - 6(pppp ) , where p, p are relatively prime integers, greater than 1 (which are central charges of the so called minimal models). A simple affine vertex algebra Vk (g), attached to a simple Lie algebra g is rational (and semisimple as well) iff its level k is a non-negative integer. ... We call such f an exceptional nilpotent and such k an exceptional level. ...

If getting the first derivative (score function) and the second derivative (empirical Fisher information) of a (pseudo) likelihood function is feasible and checking regularity conditions is viable, a test for global maximum (Li and Jiang, JASA, 1999, Vol. 94, pp. 847-854) seems to be a useful reference for verifying the best fit solution. ... 2 Comments . ...

... The air just sit there and doesn't get stirred. ... Normally, the air is hottest near the ground and gets cooler as you go up. ... If it weren't for the temperature profile, convection wouldn't occur: Because the temperature decreases with altitude, cold air sits on top of hot air, allowing convection. ... The air above the ground is hot, the air above the water is cold. ... The land cools down faster than the sea, so the air above the ground is colder than the air above the water. ...
