4/19/2023 0 Comments Higgs bosonThat theory explains the known elementary particles and their interactions. The particle’s discovery filled in the missing keystone of the standard model of particle physics. In 2010, the LHC began smashing protons together at extremely high energies, while two large experiments, ATLAS and CMS, used massive detectors to look through the debris. ![]() But finding the particle had to wait for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, or LHC. Scientists predicted the existence of the Higgs boson back in 1964, as a hallmark of the process that gives elementary particles mass. Since then, he and thousands of other physicists from around the world working on CERN experiments have gone all out exploring the particle’s properties. “It was a very exciting time to be getting immersed into that world,” he says. Instead, he says, he found himself in the basement, in an overflow room of an overflow room.īut the enthusiasm was still palpable. That space was for VIPs - and those determined enough to wait in line all night to snag a seat. As buzzing throngs of physicists crowded together to watch the announcement at CERN, Duarte didn’t make it to the main auditorium. “I was physically there maybe a week before the announcement,” Duarte says. Duarte was an eager graduate student who’d just arrived at CERN. On July 4, 2012, scientists at the laboratory CERN near Geneva announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought subatomic particle that reveals the origins of mass. One important question seems to be: why is there only one such field? Are there other fields out there, also switched “on” and having some impact on our history, or even our day to day lives? Models that describe the Big Bang and the very earliest moments of our universe - now a precision science - suggest that there should be.Javier Duarte kicked off his scientific career by witnessing the biggest particle physics event in decades. There are many questions physicists are still pondering about its nature, such as its mass and outsized role in the universe. The Higgs field and its associated boson is surely the odd duck of the subnuclear zoo. The Higgs Boson - the particle excitation of this field - can be found whenever the particles it gives mass to are colliding at high speeds. Virtually all of that mass comes from interplay of quarks, gluons and the subnuclear goo that surrounds quarks inside of protons and neutrons. A related - but different - effect gives the mass to the W and Z bosons as well.īut do not be fooled! The mass endowed by the Higgs mechanism has almost nothing to do with the mass we experience in daily life. In this way, the Higgs field give a tiny mass to many of the elementary particles. The added resistance to motion through the Higgs field is something we’ve come to call mass. Less like a field and more of a swamp, the Higgs field slows those particles down quite a bit. The field of the Higgs interacts with the quarks and the leptons, like the electron and its neutrino. It’s interactions with matter are more intricate. Although it does interact with the electromagnetic and weak forces. ![]() The Higgs does not have an electric charge. That is much longer than the W or Z bosons, but still far too fast for a human to have an intuition for. ![]() It’s mean lifetime is somewhere near $10^$ seconds. It decays quickly, most often to a quark/antiquark pair, but has a lot of other options. Like many other heavy particles, the Higgs is unstable. With a mass of 125 GeV, it’s one of the heaviest elementary particles around. When the Higgs does present as a particle, it’s fairly heavy. Unlike a magnetic field, which usually requires some physical source - like a collection of iron atoms in a refrigerator magnet or a spinning particle like the neutron - the Higgs field is naturally always set to “on”.Įvery once in a while, a disturbance in that field appears as a particle, the Higgs Boson. Just as magnetic fields can permeate space, so too does the field of the Higgs. We sometimes call the Higgs’ amorphous presence the Higgs “field”. The relationship between the photon and magnetic fields comes to mind. ![]() The Higgs is a difficult particle to describe because it almost always manifests in ways that don’t resemble particle behavior. Listen to this post on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | Amazon PodcastsĪs far as we know, there is no other particle like the Higgs Boson, but there probably should be. 4/19/2023 0 Comments Cat feeder![]() You can be certain that your dogs are on the right track by feeding them a structured schedule.Īutomatic feeders should be used by almost all cats who consume processed dry food, but certain breeds perform better when fed specific varieties of food. Smart dog feeders have a number of advantages, including the ability to manage the amount of food and how long it takes to distribute it. When your dog eats slowly, he or she will have better digestion, fewer stomach bloats, and vomiting.Ī pet feeder allows you to take your pet on a camping trip or a night away for a weekend without worrying about him getting stressed out while being away from home, and you can also bribe a friend or neighbor to fill in while you are away to keep him safe. Feeding your pet feeders can assist you in providing them with portions of the appropriate weight for their diet. Your pet will be fed automatically when you are away from home, giving you peace of mind. They can help take some of the hassle out of pet ownership, and can give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is getting the food they need. Overall, automatic pet feeders can be a great way to help make sure your pet is properly fed, even when you’re not around. ![]() You’ll also want to make sure the feeder is easy to clean and refill. ![]() Make sure to choose one that is the right size for your pet, and that has a capacity that will work for the amount of food your pet needs. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an automatic pet feeder. They can be a great way to help keep your pet on a regular feeding schedule, and can help make sure they don’t miss a meal. Automatic pet feeders can help make sure your pet is getting the food they need, even when you’re not around. That’s where automatic pet feeders can come in handy. They can also be a lot of work, and one of the biggest challenges can be making sure they’re properly fed. Pets are great companions that can bring a lot of love and joy into our lives. 4/19/2023 0 Comments Smoothmouse alternative![]() Prior to the removal of SmoothMouse 1.0.10, you should first log into your Mac with an administrator account, and turn SmoothMouse 1.0.10 off if it is running.

This tier is ideal for a team of writers working on a single script to be sold or passed off. Story Development: $US9.99 ($13) per member per month if billed annually, or $US14.99 ($20) billed monthly.Everything you need to write a screenplay from start to finish. Here’s a quick rundown of what those tiers cost: Instead of an all-in-one package like Final Draft, Celtx offers different tiers of monthly subscriptions. You can only open, read, and print scripts. The Final Draft Reader software is exactly what it sounds like. The Final Draft Writer app lets you write and edit scripts on the go, but you don’t have access to most other features found in the desktop software. If you buy a licence you get everything the platform has to offer. When it comes to features like script revision tracking, storyboards, index cards, and the like, Final Draft is all or nothing. Final Draft Reader, for iPhone and iPad: Free.Final Draft Writer, for iPhone and iPad: $30.99.Final Draft 10, for Windows and Mac: $325.51.Here’s the pricing breakdown for Final Draft’s products: ![]() In terms of cost, Final Draft and Celtx are light years away from each other, especially if you’re only interested in a screenwriting app. Final Draft Costs an Arm and a Leg, Celtx Offers Subscription Tiers Overall, the pricing structures are what really sets these two platforms apart. What features you get with Celtx, however, depends on what you pay for. Celtx is also entirely cloud based, so you can access and work on your screenplays or production budgets wherever you are as long as there’s an internet connection. There are tools for scheduling, budgeting, group management, and cost reports in addition to the basic screenwriting features you’d expect like storyboarding, revision tracking, and story beat index cards. ![]() And the Alternate Dialogue feature lets you write different lines for characters within a scene so you can get all your ideas out at once and easily switch them out if need be.Ĭeltx, on the other hand, has more features for putting an entire production together. Beat Board, a recent addition to the software, lets you organise your story in beats as ideas come to you - which is nice when inspiration strikes and you just need to get an idea down. That said, they each have their own standout features.įinal Draft 10 has Story Map, which gives you a high-level view of your screenplay and makes it easy to navigate around and preview specific scenes. If you take anything from this, it’s important to know that both platforms are powerful, comparable tools. It’s difficult to go into the minutia of each program’s features and compare them all side by side because both platforms have so many. Both Platforms Offer a Plethora of Features Budding Screenwriters and Producers Will Find Useful Celtx can be used on Windows and Mac computers, and has apps available on iOS and Android.īoth Final Draft and Celtx have tons of useful features for developing stories, properly formatting scripts, creating character libraries, tracking script revisions, and collaborating with other writers. Now the service is used on a professional level in some niche areas of the entertainment industry and moved to a cloud based format. ![]() It started as desktop only software built on open, non-proprietary standards by a volunteer community. Celtx: Celtx - which stands for Crew, Equipment, Location, Talent, and XML - is screenwriting software that also does media pre-production and organisation for all kinds of projects, like films, plays, documentaries, games, and podcasts.Final Draft has apps available on Windows, Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It’s currently in version 10, and is used in professional theatre, television, and film production. It makes it easier for new and experienced writers alike to conform to the rigid script formatting found in the entertainment industry. Final Draft: Final Draft is software developed specifically for the purpose of screenwriting back in 1991, and is the number one selling product of its kind.If you’ve ever shown interest in screenwriting or the filmmaking process, you’ve probably heard of both of our scriptacular contenders: But this Sunday, only one can be the best in the biz. One is the entertainment industry standard. In a world where people tell their stories on film from ideas that start on paper, there are two powerful platforms that provide all the tools budding screenwriters need: Final Draft and Celtx. ![]() Send files between devices with AirDrop.Make and receive phone calls on your Mac.Insert photos and documents from iPhone or iPad.Use a keyboard and mouse or trackpad across devices.Use Continuity to work across Apple devices.Use SharePlay to watch and listen together.Use Live Text to interact with text in a photo.Make it easier to see what’s on the screen.Change the picture for you or others in apps.Install and reinstall apps from the App Store.Next is to look at what’s using your CPU now. If the room is 10 or 20 degrees warmer because you’re in the middle of the heat wave, then it’s possible that the entire computer could be just warm enough to push it beyond that threshold where it says, “You know, I should really turn on the fan.” Normally, we’re talking about the temperature in a room being in the upper 60s Fahrenheit with CPU temperatures well into the 100s. ![]() Ambient temperatures, or the temperature in the room, can contribute to this. You may find that there’s a process or a program that’s using more CPU than you expected and from there, you can make some decisions. If you find that the CPU is spending most of its time idle, then it’s not the CPU heating up. It will show you which processes and programs on your computer are actually using the CPU. Check out my article, “ Who’s hogging my CPU?” which will actually show you how to use a tool called Processor Explorer (that you can download for free from Microsoft and run). Of these scenarios, I don’t really know which one is happening to you.
4/19/2023 0 Comments Hierarchical sequential testingThe performances of those indices were evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation studies and a real data illustration.Ĭognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) has gained widespread use since its introduction, as it can provide fine-grained feedback through pinpointing the presence or absence of multiple fine-grained skills or attributes ( Leighton and Gierl, 2007 Templin and Bradshaw, 2013) based on some cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs). Two misfit sources were focused that is, misspecifying attribute structures and misfitting processing functions. ![]() Furthermore, model fit analysis for SH-CDMs is assessed using eight model fit indices (i.e., three absolute fit indices and five relative fit indices). This article introduces the sequential hierarchical CDM (SH-CDM), which adapts the sequential CDM to deal with attribute hierarchy. The presence of attribute hierarchies, which can provide useful information about the nature of attributes, will help understand the relation between attributes and response categories. Under the cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) framework, a family of sequential cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) is introduced to handle polytomously scored data, which are attained by answering constructed-response items sequentially. Model data fit plays an important role in any statistical analysis, and the primary goal is to detect the preferred model based on certain criteria. 2School of Mathematics and Statistics, Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China.1China Institute of Rural Education Development, Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China. 4/19/2023 0 Comments More info coming soonCross-promotion: The Coming Soon Page should contain links leading to your social media accounts.You can add a countdown timer to the Coming Soon Page to keep users informed, but also to inspire anticipation and excitement.

On this platform you can ask a native Spanish speaker anything. HiNative is a language learning question and answer app. You can also look up the conjugation of a verb, in several tenses, which is very helpful for Spanish students. And if you know me, you know I’m a stickler for pronunciation. When you look up the meaning of a word, you can hear its pronunciation by tapping the horn icon next to it. The other thing I love about SpanishDict is the pronunciation feature. And by building your vocabulary, you get one step closer to fluency! What matters here is that I learned a new and very cool sounding word in Spanish. And that’s not what matters here…whether or not I will ever use opossum in Spanish. Will I ever need to say opossum in Spanish? Probably not, but you never know. Take today’s word, for example, tlacuache. Everyday there is a new and cool word that I didn’t learn in Spanish class. It’s an online Spanish dictionary, way to mention the obvious right? I think the feature I love the most is its word of the day feature. SpanishDictĪnother one of my fave free apps to learn Spanish. It’s the perfect symbiotic relationship! And it keeps me connected with a native Spanish speaker, which is vital for language learning. And the focus is on her learning English, asking questions and me making corrections as needed. The next time we speak, it’s an English only conversation. One day we focus on me learning Spanish: we talk only in Spanish, I ask her questions that might stump me and she corrects any errors I make. Our conversations usually last about 45-60 minutes. ![]() She’s from Colombia and she’s super sweet! I reached out to her because we’re the same age and share similar interests…and we clicked right away! Juliana and I decided to converse 2-3 times weekly and spend no less than 30 minutes chatting. And once you choose a language exchange partner, you can communicate with her or him through written messages or voice recordings straight from the app! Along Came Juliana… Once you post a comment on the timeline, native Spanish speakers can make corrections to improve your written Spanish. The app has lots of great features, including recorded lessons at various levels (called HelloSpanish), and a timeline where you can post pictures and comments. Then you can send them a message to get started learning Spanish right away. From that list, you can pick and choose who you’d like to connect with. And that list will include people who want to learn the language you’re proficient in. Based on your profile, HelloTalk will connect you to a list of people who speak the language you are looking to learn. But if she (or he) is HelloTalk user, then she wants to learn a language too! So here’s how it works…you create a profile detailing the language you want to learn and the language you are proficient in. They are willing and excited to help you learn Spanish. It’s an awesome language exchange app where you can connect with native Spanish speakers from around the world. HelloTalk is probably one of my favorite free apps to learn Spanish. And when you’re busy and on a budget, there’s nothing better then $free.99! In fact all of the apps I’ll share with you are free. If they aren’t free, they’re usually pretty cheap. The other thing I love about apps is that lots of them are free. Rather than following a curriculum that may not fit your needs or learning style, you can choose the app that best fits you. Language learning apps are also great because you get ownership in the learning process. There are so many other ways to learn Spanish, so why use apps? Well first of all, they’re super convenient! You could be literally anywhere and learn Spanish using your favorite app from the palm of your hand. So if you are looking for a few free apps to learn Spanish, then this is the post for you! Why Use Apps To Learn Spanish? And today we’re talking about 10 fun and free apps to learn Spanish. That’s why I encourage the use of mobile apps to learn Spanish. ![]() And the last thing you need when learning Spanish, is a commitment that devours huge chunks of your precious time. Yet you still have a desire to learn Spanish. Work, family, friends, self care are all vying for your time. But even if you aren’t a wife or mom, you’ve still got a lot on your plate. In fact they both include nurse, chef, chauffeur, counselor and housekeeper! Again, I could go on and on. I mean the first two alone encompass so much more than the eye can see. Wife, mom, employee, caretaker and the list could go on and on. An ergonomic design ensures comfort for the doctor and patient, even during extended use.
