TL;DR: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) as mentioned in this paper is a multi-year project to identify and measure light curves for intermediate-redshift (0.05 < z < 0.35) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using repeated five-band imaging over an area of 300 sq. deg.
Abstract: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) has embarked on a multi-year project to identify and measure light curves for intermediate-redshift (0.05 < z < 0.35) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using repeated five-band (ugriz) imaging over an area of 300 sq. deg. The survey region is a stripe 2.5° wide centered on the celestial equator in the Southern Galactic Cap that has been imaged numerous times in earlier years, enabling construction of a deep reference image for the discovery of new objects. Supernova imaging observations are being acquired between September 1 and November 30 of 2005-7. During the first two seasons, each region was imaged on average every five nights. Spectroscopic follow-up observations to determine supernova type and redshift are carried out on a large number of telescopes. In its first two three-month seasons, the survey has discovered and measured light curves for 327 spectroscopically confirmed SNe Ia, 30 probable SNe Ia, 14 confirmed SNe Ib/c, 32 confirmed SNe II, plus a large number of photometrically identified SNe Ia, 94 of which have host-galaxy spectra taken so far. This paper provides an overview of the project and briefly describes the observations completed during the first two seasons of operation.

TL;DR: This paper starts to bridge the gap between two distinct, rigorous views of cryptography by providing a computational justification for a formal treatment of encryption.
Abstract: Two distinct, rigorous views of cryptography have developed over the years, in two mostly separate communities. One of the views relies on a simple but effective formal approach; the other, on a detailed computational model that considers issues of complexity and probability. There is an uncomfortable and interesting gap between these two approaches to cryptography. This paper starts to bridge the gap, by providing a computational justification for a formal treatment of encryption.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between the g-twisted V-modules and Ag(V)-modules is established, and it is proved that if V is g-rational, then Ag (V) is finite-dimensional semi-simple associative algebra and there are only finitely many irreducible g-two-stuck Vmodules.
Abstract: This paper gives an analogue of Ag(V) theory for a vertex operator superalgebra V and an automorphism g of finite order. The relation between the g-twisted V-modules and Ag(V)-modules is established. It is proved that if V is g-rational, then Ag(V) is finite-dimensional semi-simple associative algebra and there are only finitely many irreducible g-twisted V-modules.

TL;DR: In this article, the abundance and weak-lensing mass measurements of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey maxBCG cluster catalog are used to simultaneously constrain cosmology and the richness-mass relation of the clusters.
Abstract: We use the abundance and weak-lensing mass measurements of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey maxBCG cluster catalog to simultaneously constrain cosmology and the richness-mass relation of the clusters. Assuming a flat ?CDM cosmology, we find ?8(? m /0.25)0.41 = 0.832 ? 0.033 after marginalization over all systematics. In common with previous studies, our error budget is dominated by systematic uncertainties, the primary two being the absolute mass scale of the weak-lensing masses of the maxBCG clusters, and uncertainty in the scatter of the richness-mass relation. Our constraints are fully consistent with the WMAP five-year data, and in a joint analysis we find ?8 = 0.807 ? 0.020 and ? m = 0.265 ? 0.016, an improvement of nearly a factor of 2 relative to WMAP5 alone. Our results are also in excellent agreement with and comparable in precision to the latest cosmological constraints from X-ray cluster abundances. The remarkable consistency among these results demonstrates that cluster abundance constraints are not only tight but also robust, and highlight the power of optically selected cluster samples to produce precision constraints on cosmological parameters.

TL;DR: This nanopore detector with a support vector machine (SVM) to analyze DNA hairpin molecules on the millisecond time scale and can discriminate between individual DNA hairpins that differ by one base pair or by one nucleotide.
Abstract: RNA and DNA strands produce ionic current signatures when driven through an α-hemolysin channel by an applied voltage. Here we combine this nanopore detector with a support vector machine (SVM) to analyze DNA hairpin molecules on the millisecond time scale. Measurable properties include duplex stem length, base pair mismatches, and loop length. This nanopore instrument can discriminate between individual DNA hairpins that differ by one base pair or by one nucleotide.
