Suspending OpenMP Tasks on Asynchronous Events: Extending the Taskwait Construct

Galactic Stellar and Substellar Initial Mass Function

We review recent determinations of the present day and initial mass functions in various components of the Galaxy, disk, spheroid, young and globular clusters. As a general feat...

The Astropy Project: Building an Open-science Project and Status of the v2.0 Core Package^*

Abstract The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomi...

Empirical Mode Decomposition as a Filter Bank

Abstract—Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has recently been pioneered by Huang et al. for adaptively representing nonsta-tionary signals as sums of zero-mean amplitude modulat...

InterPro in 2011: new developments in the family and domain prediction database

InterPro (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/) is a database that integrates diverse information about protein families, domains and functional sites, and makes it freely available t...

The Galactic Disk Mass Function: Reconciliation of the [ITAL]Hubble Space Telescope[/ITAL] and Nearby Determinations

We derive and parametrize the Galactic mass function (MF) below 1 $\msol$ characteristic of both single objects and binary systems. We resolve the long standing discrepancy betw...

One or Two Frequencies? The Empirical Mode Decomposition Answers

19 pages, 7 figures. Submitted to IEEE Trans. on Signal Proc.

The Galactic Disk Mass Budget. I. Stellar Mass Function and Density

In this paper, we use the general theory worked out within the past few years for the structure and the evolution of low-mass stars to derive the stellar mass-function in the Ga...

<i>De Novo</i> Determination of the Crystal Structure of a Large Drug Molecule by Crystal Structure Prediction-Based Powder NMR Crystallography

The crystal structure of form 4 of the drug 4-[4-(2-adamantylcarbamoyl)-5-tert-butyl-pyrazol-1-yl]benzoic acid is determined using a protocol for NMR powder crystallography at n...
