A study of_the_dark_core_in_a520_with_hubble_space_telescope_the_mystery_deepensSérgio Sacani
This document summarizes a study using Hubble Space Telescope images to further examine the dark core detected in the galaxy cluster A520 in a previous study using ground-based data. The HST data provides over 3 times as many galaxies that can be used for weak lensing analysis, significantly enhancing the mass reconstruction. The analysis confirms the detection of the dark core coincident with the X-ray peak but lacking luminous galaxies at over 10 sigma significance. Several substructures are also clearly detected, including a new one labeled P5. However, the comparison of dark matter, hot gas, and galaxy distributions remains peculiar compared to other merging clusters.

Error Reduction of Modified Booth Multipliers in Mac UnitIOSR Journals
Abstract: The fixed-width multiplier is well attractive to many multimedia and digital signal processing systems. It proposes a reduction of truncation error from 16-bit to 8-bit MSB bits (Truncated output) using simple error reduction circuit. The Fixed width modified booth multiplier is used to minimize the partial product matrix of Booth multiplication. Multiplication is binary mathematical operation scaling one number by another. Lead the design of high accuracy, low power and area in MAC unit and compare with the Wallace tree multiplier. The system will be designed using VHDL coding (Very High speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Descriptive Language). Index Terms: Multiplier and Accumulator, Most significant bits, Modified booth multiplier, error reduction circuit, fixed width multiplier

This document discusses the need for a national trade strategy in the United States that focuses on net exports, job creation, and wealth creation. It argues that past trade agreements have failed to achieve these goals because they took a tariff-based approach and resulted in unilateral disarmament against trade rivals that use tactics like currency manipulation, value-added taxes, and state-owned enterprises. The document advocates for a strategy that neutralizes state capitalism tactics and maximizes domestic market share and net exports to benefit the American economy.
This document discusses the decline of manufacturing in the US and arguments for reshoring manufacturing back to the US.

Total cost of ownership models that consider hidden costs often find domestic production to be competitive. Several companies that have recently moved production back to America are profiled. Reshoring initiatives aim to educate on these issues and encourage more production near customers to reduce costs.

songs ―Y‖ and ―Kusha Las Payas.‖ The song tells the
story of a pimp-like "afro-gipsy, Rastafari" character
named Diego who walks into a crowded nightclub at
midnight, and the DJ, as he sees Diego walk in, plays
the "twelve-o'clock anthem", "the song he desires
most". The chorus is reminiscent of Spanish, but actually
is a mangled re-wording of the 1979 rap hit "Rapper's
Delight" by Sugarhill Gang.
29. X is a novel considered to be one of the great American
novels and a treasure of world literature. The author
employs stylized language, symbolism, and the
metaphor to explore numerous complex themes. It also
includes chapters devoted to explaining various aspects
of life, as well as a cetology lesson that wouldn’t be out
of place in a biology textbook or encyclopaedia. There’s
also a chapter about chowder. It’s often told that the
reason why these sections exist is because the author
was told the novel needed to be longer – and he couldn’t
think of anything else to pad it out with.

33. Author X had posted on his website in 2011 about the
revival of the production of the film based on his book Y.
He stated that the production had been stopped so that
he could finish the sequel to Y. The film will supposedly
star Johnny Depp as the lead and Amitabh Bachchan as
a gangster with morals.
35. In 1951 Sir X went on a shooting party in ireland. He
got involved in an argument over which was the fastest
game bird in Europe, The koshin golden plover or the
grouse. That evening he realised it was impossible to
confirm in reference book whether or not the golden
plover was the fastest bird in Europe. This incident
resulted in the creation of what ?
37. On June 5, 1960, In the early
hours of June 5, 1960, four
teenagers were camping on the
shores of ____ _____, 22km away
from Helsinki. Between 4AM and
6AM, an unknown person or people
murdered three of them with a
knife and blunt instrument
wounding the fourth. The sole
survivor, Nils Wilhelm Gustafsson,
led a normal life until 2004, when
he became a suspect and was
subsequently charged. In October
2005, a district court found
Gustafsson not guilty of all charges
against him.
This incident inspired the name of
a band.
39. X is a famous TV personality but is also known for his
strong political and social views. X's comments have
both a large number of supporters and opposers. He
often comments on the media-perceived social issues of
the day such as the fear of challenging adolescent
youths, known as 'hoodies'. In 2007 he was cleared of
allegations of assaulting a hoodie while visiting central
Milton Keynes, after Thames Valley Police said that if
anything, he had been the victim. In the five-part series
X: Meets the Neighbours he travelled around Europe in a
Jaguar E-Type, examining (and in some cases
reinforcing) his stereotypes of other countries.
41. In the episode, the X was accidentally created by Homer
Simpson when he planted and fertilized his Y and Z
fields with plutonium. The result is a X that apparently
has a dried, brown Y centre, and, although being
described as tasting terrible by many characters, is also
immediately and powerfully addictive. Eventually, all of
the X plants are eaten by farm animals — except for the
one remaining plant, which later goes down in an
explosive helicopter crash with some cigarette company
lawyers.

45. But mark the Rustic, X-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.
Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o 'fare,
Auld Y wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,
Gie her a X!
These are the 2nd and 3rd last stanzas of the poem 'An
Address to X' written by Robert Burns. This poem went on
to make X the national dish of Y.
49. ―Tight, creaky leather. A big fright wig. Oh, and the X of
course. Y was almost unrecognizable in the sixties-set
fairy tale, which puts him front and centre as a tragic
Frankenstein’s monster-style creation who changes the
lives of little American suburb-dwellers.‖
