I've been using Google Scholar search engine for a while in order to find scientific articles for my master thesis, but I've come to notice that the search algorithm is not as good as the real google search engine.   I feel that Scholar requires quite specific search terms in order to find the right articles. Does anybody share my experience and is it true that the Google Scholar search engine is worse at searching than the main Google Engine?
How is Google Scholar compared to other academic search engines and catalogues such as ScienceDirect, Scopus, and universities' own online catalogues--in terms of the following?   comprehensiveness of search (i.e. can fetch all the ever published relevant titles, whether the user have access to full-texts or not) accuracy and precision of results advanced search features usability  Are there good reasons for (or against) using Google Scholar as the only literature search tool for PhD research? Does the answer of (2) depend on the research discipline?
My daughter bought a ticket for a flight with a layover in Emirates (from Dallas, Texas to India). She had a stop of 48 hours in Dubai. When she was checking in in Dubai for Delhi, she was informed that her visa for India has expired in 2012. Did Emirates not have an obligation to check the visa for India before selling a ticket? Does a Readied spell immediately use a spell slot? Grid search vs. random search for hyperparameter tuning I am interested in comparing the computational cost of grid search vs. random search algorithm for hyperparameter tuning. Is random search computationally less expensive then grid search? Is there an article/paper that talks about this topic? Thank you, Backstory: I've been developing a game with LibGDX for the past two years, and I've seen it refactored more times than I remember.  I jumped on the iOS iKVM port as soon as it was released. But I've been struggling with it ever since in regards to cross platform networking.  Kryonet will not port over to iOS unfortunately. So it's either I ditch Kryonet, or lose a large chunk of my target audience (iOS Users)  My question for you is:  I noticed LibGDX has cross platform classes ready for sockets and HTTP Requests, but no documentation exists for these sockets at all.  Has anyone used these sockets at all in the past, and does anyone know how they work? I was reading through some of the questions and answers here on the Rings of Power and I just wondered why the ring effects, affected different races in a slightly different way.  I know other questions ask and answer some of these things, but I just wondered why the Rings of Power caused greed in Dwarves for ever more amounts of treasure.  It's true that Dwarves loved mining and loved wealth and were built of sturdier stuff than men, but why did the Rings of Power not control Dwarves in the way the other Rings of Power controlled men and why did it produce greed and not invisibility? Are we slightly lighter during the day and slightly heavier at night, owing to the force of the Sun's gravity? What is an intuitive way of understanding Ostrogradsky instability? Is there a way of explaining why no differential equations in physics exceed order two without delving into Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics - i.e. from Newtonian mechanics? Moreover, is there such an alternative proof, which focuses more on physical reasoning than abstract mathematics? I noticed that sometimes my code gets highlighted in different colors when rendered.   What is syntax highlighting? How does it work? Why isn't my code being highlighted correctly? How do I report a bug or request a new language? How do I use syntax highlighting? What languages are currently available on Stack Exchange? How do regular expressions differ from wildcards used to filter files Proving $\sum_{k=1}^n k k!=(n+1)!-1$ What is the difference between "thee" and "thou"? How to Compact geodatabases in multiple directories using ArcPy? I am trying to write a script to walk through all folders in my workspace and find and compact all geodatabases in my workspace.  I feel like I'm on the right track but I am stuck.  import acrpy, os from arcpy import env  arcpy.env.workspace "C:"  for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(arcpy.env.workspace)     for file in files         if ".gdb" in file:         workspaces = arcpy.ListWorkspaces("*", "FileGDB")             for workspace in workspaces:             arcpy.Compact_management(workspace)   I am using ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Desktop. Should I use "or" or "nor" in the following case? I wasn't forcing myself to say anything, or/nor trying to be funny.   "Or" sounds more grammatically correct to me. But "nor" has more Google results. So I'm confused. The Download CSV link seems broken in SEDE query result window I've created   which works nice. I would really like to download those results as an CSV file. Therefor I click on the provided link on the right hand side of the screen called Download CSV. The result is:  The webpage cannot be found  https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/csv/202355?UserId=187606 I expected: A file in CSV format. It looks like a regression of  Queries without a parameter work as advertised. Can this be fixed? Mount ext4 partition with >4KiB block size I'm attempting to mount a partition from a NAS and the block size is 65536 bytes, this is above my distribution's precompiled kernel memory paging size of 4KiB, so I cannot mount it normally.  Which kernel compilation parameters would I need to change to get a memory paging size large enough?  Would it be possible under the x86-64 architecture?  EDIT: There doesn't seem to be an option for it in make xconfig unless I'm just missing it.  From page_types.h under arch\x86\include\asm  /* PAGE_SHIFT determines the page size */ #define PAGE_SHIFT  12 #define PAGE_SIZE   (_AC(1,UL) &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK   (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))`   It doesn't look to be configurable.  I could change this number directly to 16 and it would probably make pretty explosions and destroy Tokyo.  I shall probably try it later this evening. How to avoid ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or IndexOutOfBoundsException? Has 'Ubuntu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? I updated Ubuntu last night (sudo apt get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt get upgrade) and to  my surprise this morning I didn't find the 'Ubuntu Software' app and there's a new entry called 'Snap Store' which when opened looks just like the old 'Ubuntu Software' app. So has 'Ubunu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? And if yes, why? Evaluation of $$\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7} = $$   $\bf{My\; Try::}$ I have solved Using Direct formula::  $$\sin \frac{\pi}{n}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{n}\cdot......\sin \frac{(n-1)\pi}{n} = \frac{n}{2^{n-1}}$$  Now Put $n=7\;,$ We get   $$\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{4\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{5\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{6\pi}{7}=\frac{7}{2^{7-1}}$$  So $$\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7} =\frac{\sqrt{7}}{8}$$  Now my question is how can we solve it without using Direct Formula, Help me  Thanks How to show $\alpha\int_a^cf(x)dx+\beta \int_c^b f(x)dx =0$ means $f(x)=0$ everywhere $?$ Question :  Let $$f\ :\ [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb R$$   be  continuous . And  there  exist  constants  $\alpha$  $\beta$  such  that  $\forall c\in [a,b]$  $$\alpha \int_a^c f(x)dx +\beta \int_c^b f(x)dx =0 $$   Prove  that  $f=0$  allover  $[a,b]$.  Attempt :(not much useful )   Since  the  equation  holds  for  all  $c\in [a,b]$   , if  take  $c=a$  then  we  have $$\beta \int_a^b f(x)dx =0 $$  And  taking  $c=b$  we  get $$\alpha \int_a^b f(x)dx=0 $$  See  if  both  $\alpha=0$  and  $\beta=0$  hold  then  there  is  nothing  to  do . If  only  one  of  them  is  $0$   and  the  other  is  non-zero  then  from  the  last  two  equations  we  get $$\int_a^b f(x)dx =0 $$ and  this  does   not  ensure   $f$'s  being  identically  $0$  on  $[a,b]$ (for  example : $f(x)=sin x$  and $a=0$,$b=2\pi $ ) .   So  our  only  possibility  is  that  both $\alpha \neq 0$  and $\beta \neq 0$  must  hold .  Now  I  cannot  proceed  any  further  from  this  point . Please  give  me  some   hints  as  to  what  to  do  next .  Thaanks. Determine value of the limit:  $$L=\lim_{n\to \infty}\sqrt[n]{1^2+2^2+\cdots+n^2}$$  My try:  $$1^2+2^2+\cdots+n^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$$  Hence: $$L=\lim_{n\to \infty} \sqrt[n]{\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}}=?$$  But, come here, i do not know how, because please help me.
