The full optimization of the design and operation instruments whose functioning relies on interaction radiation with matter is a super-human task, due to large dimensionality space possible choices for geometry, detection technology, materials, data-acquisition, information-extraction techniques, interdependence related parameters. On other hand, massive potential gains in performance over standard, "experience-driven" layouts are principle within our reach if an objective function fully...
New physics theories often depend on a large number of free parameters. The precise values those parameters in some cases drastically affect the resulting phenomenology fundamental processes, while others finite variations can leave it basically invariant at level detail experimentally accessible. When designing strategy for analysis experimental data search signal predicted by new model, appears advantageous to categorize parameter space describing model according corresponding kinematical...

Through time, the large ceremonial centers of Peruvian pre-Hispanic coast have played an important role as Pachacamac, renowned for its famous oracle, which was site cult and pilgrimage, where use water entered largely into ritual functions during Inca age before. The sanctuary's landscape included sea, valley lomas (ecosystem grassy, seasonal knolls), a complex elaborate system springs canals seem to both natural table waters nearby Lurin river. In this sacred there are over fifty buildings...
New, deep HST photometry allowed us to identify and study eight compact bright ($M_V -5.8$) star clusters in the outskirts of star-forming isolated dwarf galaxy NGC 5238 sun $). Five these are new discoveries, six appear projected onto and/or aligned with tidal tails recently discovered around this galaxy. The partially resolved into stars, their colour magnitude diagrams reveal a well-developed red giant branch, implying ages older than 1-2 Gyr. Their integrated luminosity structural...
