Cumengeite, also known as cumengite, is a secondary mineral that was named after mining engineer Bernard Louis Philippe Édouard Cumenge, who found the first specimens. It is easily confused with diaboleite. It is a valid species that was first described prior to 1959, and is grandfathered now, but it has been a valid species since 1893, since pre-International Mineralogical Association Properties It is brittle and conchoidal, meaning it is easily breakable, and the fracture of it makes small, conchoidal fragments. It is an epitaxial mineral, which is a form of crystal growth. During the growth, the new crystalline layers are formed with at least one well-defined orientation. The crystal itself is pseudo-cubic, meaning its shape resembles that of a cube. When this uncommon mineral forms epitaxial overgrowths with boleite however, where the inner cubic core is boleite, and the outer protruding mineral which forms in triangular shape is cumengeite, the two mineral form a shape similar to a star. It has octahedral, "diamond-shaped" or cubo-octahedral crystals. It usually appears on the faces of boleite or pseudoboleite, as an intergrowth. It has dichroic attributes, which in this case means the mineral breaks up the light into different beams of different wavelengths, making the light passing through them break and come out in different colors. Cumengeite is soluble in HNO3. It mostly consists of lead (55.08%), chlorine (18.85%) and copper (16.09%), but otherwise it has oxygen (9.32%) and hydrogen (0.66%) in it. Mining Although it has several localities, the most significant one, where it is a type locality is at the Boleo district, specifically at the Amelia mine in Mexico. Til these days, that mine is the only one that had produced well-formed cumengeite crystals of any significance. Cumenge, the one who found the mineral also collected it from its type locality, Boleo. It appears in lead or copper deposits' secondary, oxidized zone. The mineral'ssmelter slag is immersed into the

> Paula McSteen is a scientist known for her research on plant genetics. In 2020 she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Education and career McSteen received her B.A. from the University of Dublin Trinity College and earned her Ph.D. in Plant Developmental Genetics in 1996 from the University of East Anglia. In 2010 she joined the faculty of the University of Missouri as an associate professor, having previously worked as an assistant professor at Pennsylvania State University. As of 2021 she is a professor at the University of Missouri. She then moved to using corn as a genetic model. She has examined the role of multiple genes by corn, including research into bif2 barren inflorescence2 which plays a role in regulation of hormones needed during the development of corn. Through examination of corn that produced malformed ears, McSteen determined that the gene vt2, short for vanishing tassel2, was absent, which means reduced levels of the hormone auxin and leads to malformed ears of corn. In 2019, McSteen found the barren stalk2 gene, ba2, which impacts the development of the cells that give rise to ears of corn. In the course of learning about this gene, she found that this mutation had first been found in the 1930s, but then knowledge about its role was lost.

Endothelial cell tropism or endotheliotropism is a type of tissue tropism or host tropism that characterizes an pathogen'sability to recognize and infect an endothelial cell. Pathogens, such as viruses, can target a specific tissue type or multiple tissue types. Like other cells, the endothelium Cellular features and mechanisms There are a multitude of endothelial cell features that influence cell tropism and ultimately, contribute to endothelial Innate immune system Cell surface receptors Viral pathogens capitalize on cell surface receptors that are ubiquitous and can recognize many diverse ligands for attachment and ultimately, entry into the cell. These ligands not only consist of endogenous proteins but also bacterial and viral products. Once the virus is anchored to the cell surface, virus uptake typically occurs using host mechanisms such as endocytosis. One method of viral uptake is through clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). The cell surface receptors provide a binding pocket for attachment and entry into the cell, and therefore, affects a cell'ssusceptibility to infection. In addition, the receptor density on the surface of the endothelial cell also affects how efficiently the virus enters the host cell. For instance, a lower cell surface receptor density may render an endothelial cell less susceptible for virus infection than an endothelial with a higher cell surface receptor density. The endothelium contains a myriad of cell surface receptors associated with functions such as immune cell adherence and trafficking, Coagulation Transcription Factors & Viral Replication After entry into the cell, these intracellular parasites require factors in the host cell to support viral replication and release of progeny virions. Specifically, the host factors include proteins, such as transcription factors and polymerases, which aid in replicating the viral genome. Therefore, the sole entry into a live host does not necessarily result in propagation for viral progeny as the cell may not contain the critical transcription factors or polymerases for virus replication. Furthermore, within the viral genome, there are

genome. Therefore, the sole entry into a live host does not necessarily result in propagation for viral progeny as the cell may not contain the critical transcription factors or polymerases for virus replication. Furthermore, within the viral genome, there are not only instructions to synthesize viral proteins but also other virulence factors such as genes, cellular structures, and other regulatory processes that enable a pathogen to control the host'santiviral responses. These virulence factors can counter the host defense mechanisms that attempt eliminate the infection via the host'simmune system. Host defense mechanisms Endothelial cells also possess intrinsic antiviral responses which leverage the host'simmune system to battle the infection or restrict viral replication. In response to the virus production in the cell, the host cell can release a protein such as cytokine like Interferon Examples and effects on viral pathogenesis Coronaviruses Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Flaviviruses Dengue virus Filoviruses Ebolavirus Orthomyxoviridae Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 Applications Technologies of study and Lentivirus Depending on the biosafety level (BSL) also known as the pathogen or protection level, there are different levels of biocontainment and approvals required to study the pathogen; this protection level affects how and where the pathogen is studied. While these summarizes focus on endothelial cell tropism, these techniques also apply broadly to various methods in virology. These summaries do not provide comprehensive list but are representative of common platforms to study emerging infectious diseases. In vitro approaches Immortalized cells offer a renewable resource to study variety of pathogens. The characterization of the endothelial tropism allows researchers to modify either the cell to display the receptor that the virus'sglycoprotein interacts with to attach to the cell.

(in progress) Direct communication with Earth is impossible on the far side of the Moon, since transmissions are blocked by the Moon. Communications must go through a Communications satellite The types of orbits near the equilibrium points, include Lyapunov stability The satellite is based on the Chang'e 2 design. It utilizes the CAST100 small satellite bus with an aluminum honeycomb sandwich plate structure, and several 3D-printed parts. Communication with the lunar surface is accomplished in the X band, using a high-gain deployable parabolic antenna, the largest antenna used for a deep space exploration satellite. The lunar link uses PCM/PSK/PM modulation in the forward link and BPSK in the backward link. The forward link data rate of the lander and the rover is 125 bit/s. The return link data rate is up to 555kbit/s for the lander and up to 285kbit/s for the rover. Data transmission to the Earth operates in the S band in BPSK modulation mode, using a single mid-gain helix antenna at a data rate of up to 10Mbit/s. Mission On 20 May 2018, several months before the Chang'e 4 mission, the Queqiao was launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in China, on a Long March 4C rocket. The spacecraft took 24 days to reach L2, using a gravity assist at the Moon to save propellant. On 14 June 2018, Queqiao finished its final adjustment burn and entered the mission orbit, about from the Moon. This is the first lunar relay satellite ever placed in this location. The instrument is intended to perform a wide range of observations in the low-frequency radio regime, such as studying space weather and characterizing the radio background environment at L2. The far side of the Moon is an ideal environment for radio astronomy, because the Moon can shield instruments from man-made radio frequency interference coming from the Earth.

She was known for being a mathematics professor and the founder of the computer science program at Winston-Salem State University and retired from the university as a professor emeritus. Along with Vivian Burke, she was the first African American woman to become alderman of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine in 2017 for her work. Early life and education Virginia Kimbrough was born on October 7, 1917, in Advance, North Carolina, one of nine children. Although her family was African Americans Her family sent her away to live with a great aunt, so that she could obtain a better education at North Carolina's Atkins High School (North Carolina) She later earned a master'sdegree from New York University, and took courses from the University of Wisconsin, Atlanta University, University of Chicago, and North Carolina State College. She completed a doctorate in education at the University of Sarasota in 1976, with the dissertation Development of mathematics self-instructional learning packages with activities from the newspaper for prospective elementary school teachers enrolled at Winston-Salem State University. Career Kimbrough post-college returned to Atkins High School as a mathematics teacher. There, in 1943, she married George Newell, who had been her biology teacher at the same school, changing her name to Virginia Newell. They had two daughters together: Glenda and Virginia, who are both physicians. Newell and her husband both taught at several institutions in Atlanta and Raleigh, North Carolina, including Washington Graded and High School, John W. Ligon High School, and Shaw University, where Virginia Newell was an associate professor of mathematics from 1960 to 1965. George Newell passed away in 1989.

His father had served as a soldier in World War II and qualified for the Soldier settlement (Australia) After completing at Numurkah High School, he left home and moved to Melbourne. He studied at the University of Melbourne, graduating in 1967 with a BSc major in genetics and a sub-major in zoology. During vacations, he worked at the CSIRO as a technician, in the team that was developing a vaccine for contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. Still at the University of Melbourne, he went on to graduate with a MSc in 1971. He undertook his doctoral studies at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with a PhD in 1974 and a DSc in 1984, presenting the thesis Studies in human genetics and cytogenetics The proposal of prenatal testing to diagnose genetic diseases has sometimes been controversial for Sutherland, because it raises the question of what to do if problems are detected. Service to professional organisations Sutherland was the president of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO) from 1996 to 1997, and he was involved in establishing the professional body in 1977, which grew into the Human Genetics Society of Australasia, and he served as its president from 1989 to 1991. Recognition In the 1998 Australia Day Honours, Sutherland was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for service to science and in 2001, he was awarded a Centenary Medal.

Psilocybe alutacea is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. It was described in 2006 and is known from Australia and New Zealand. It is Coprophilous fungi Taxonomy and naming Psilocybe alutacea was described by Y.S. Chang and A.K. Mills in 2006. The holotype was collected by Chang in 1990 in Tasmania and deposited at the herbarium in Hobart, with the accession number HO132672. The species was placed in the Psilocybe section Semilanceatae according to Gaston Guzman Etymology The alutacea Specific name (botany) Description The Pileus (mycology) Microscopic characteristics Basidiospore Distribution and habitat Present in Australia and New Zealand. In Tasmania collections were made at Snug Falls Track, Mount Field National Park (Pandanus Walk) and Kermandie Falls (Upper Track). Found growing solitary to sub-gregarious on cow dung; also collected on horse and wombat dung. Sometimes in leaf litter or from soil in mossy areas. Similar species Members of the Psilocybe section Semilanceatae, genetically similar species and small brown Coprophilous fungi Psilocybe liniformans has a convex to applanate cap, and is known from the Pacific Northwest and Chile. Psilocybe pelliculosa is closely related with a similar appearance. It occurs predominantly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada, where it grows in litter in coniferous woods. Psilocybe tasmaniana is similar in its original description, distribution and corprophilous habit but microscopic features differ; pleurocystidia in that species are reportedly abundant, and fusiod-ventricose, with short necks.

Negotiations The first round of negotiations were conducted trilaterally between Brazil, West Germany, and France. In April 1975, the United States sent a four-person delegation to the negotiations to lobby for safeguards to prevent Brazil using the technology or plutonium to make nuclear weapons. The agreement was signed by foreign ministers and Hans-Dietrich Genscher on June 27, 1975, in Bonn, West Germany. Reactions During a visit to West Germany in 1977, Vice President of the United States Walter Mondale lobbied the West German government to withdraw from the deal. Brazil The Brazilian Physical Society issued a statement that disagreed with the premise that Brazil required a nuclear program of that magnitude, given its vast Hydroelectricity References Citations Bibliography * * * Category:1975 in Brazil Category:1975 in West Germany Category:1975 treaties Category:Nuclear technology in Germany Category:Nuclear technology in Brazil

Frank Rieber (March 12, 1891 – June 30, 1948) was a pioneering Geophysics decades before the industry performed similar research. His patents related to reproducible seismograms would lead to the ability to better locate petroleum, and gain widespread use and recognition by improving the fidelity of seismographs in accurately depicting underground rock strata and oil structures, particularly in areas with complex geological formations. Early years and education Frank Rieber was born in Placerville, California, on March 12, 1891, the son of Dr. Charles Henry Rieber, esteemed long-time Dean of the College of Letters and Science at the University of California at Los Angeles, and Winifred Smith Rieber, a skilled professional artist, well known for her portraits of famous philosophers, educators, and scientists. Rieber graduated from Berkeley High School (California) During World War I, Rieber was a secretary of the California War Inventions Committee and a member of the Submarine Defense Commission. It was during his war work with sonic Submarine detection system Invention of the "Sonograph" During the period from 1932 to 1935, Rieber investigated, and in some cases patented, methods of reducing surface disturbances at the shot and at the receiving point, methods of shortening wave transients, and methods of separating waves arriving from different directions. The method combining most of the results of his research he called the "Sonograph," which involved recording the seismogram traces as reproducible sound tracks and subsequently reproducing them in variably phased combinations and through various filters to reduce the various types of interference, particularly that due to waves arriving from different directions. Death in New York City He moved to New York around 1940, shortly before WWII. He died at the age of 56 on March 12, 1948, at his residence-laboratory in New York City from a heart attack after suffering for years from a serious heart affliction His heart problems rarely diminished the zeal with which he pursued his professional goals.

Yount went to the Middle East on 1 October 1941 as part of the US Iranian Mission, which was headed by Colonel Raymond A. Wheeler. It was set up to support the British and Soviet Union (USSR) forces in the region, although the United States was not yet a belligerent in World War II, and the USSR did not yet qualify for Lend-Lease aid. The USSR was officially declared eligible to receive Lend-Lease on 7 November, and the United States entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the following month. Yount was promoted to Major (United States) On 11 March he moved to the China-Burma-India Theater (CBI), where he was promoted to Lieutenant colonel (United States) On 5 October 1942, Yount arrived back in Basra, where, with a small advance party that arrived from the United States, he established the headquarters of the Military Railway Service. This was to take over the running of the Trans-Iranian Railway US railway units began arriving at Khorramshahr in December, starting with the 711th Railway Operating Battalion. It was followed by the 730th Railway Operating Battalion and the 754th and 762nd Railway Shop Battalions. A fifth battalion, the 791st Railway Operating battalion, was formed in Iran in May 1943. To control them, the headquarters of the 702nd Railway Grand Division arrived in December 1942, and Yount formally assumed command of both it and the Military Railway Service on 9 February 1943. The Military Railway Service became the 3rd Military Railway Service on 10 April 1944. By this time it controlled 4,000 men in the five battalions, along with 15,000 Iranian ISR employees.

> John Kendall Kruschke is an American psychologist and statistician known for his work in connectionist models of human learning, and in Bayesian statistical analysis. He is Provost Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington. He won the Troland Research Award from the National Academy of Sciences in 2002. Research Bayesian statistical analysis Dissemination Kruschke'spopular textbook, Doing Bayesian Data Analysis, There is an accompanying online app that interactively does frequentist and Bayesian analyses simultaneously. Kruschke gave a video-recorded plenary talk on this topic at the United States Conference on Teaching Statistics (USCOTS). Bayesian analysis reporting guidelines Bayesian data analyses are increasing in popularity but are still relatively novel in many fields, and guidelines for reporting Bayesian analyses are useful for researchers, reviewers, and students. Kruschke'sopen-access Bayesian analysis reporting guidelines (BARG) provide a step-by-step list with explanation. For instance, the BARG recommend that if the analyst uses Bayesian hypothesis testing, then the report should include not only the Bayes factor but also the minimum prior model probability for the posterior model probability to exceed a decision criterion. Assessing null values of parameters Kruschke proposed a decision procedure for assessing null values of parameters, based on the uncertainty of the posterior estimate of the parameter. This approach contrasts with Bayesian hypothesis testing as model comparison . Ordinal data Liddell and Kruschke showed that the common practice of treating ordinal data (such as subjective ratings) as if they were metric values can systematically lead to errors of interpretation, even inversions of means. The problems were addressed by treating ordinal data with ordinal models, in particular an ordered-probit model. Frequentist techniques can also use ordered-probit models, but the authors favored Bayesian techniques for their robustness.

an ordered-probit model. Frequentist techniques can also use ordered-probit models, but the authors favored Bayesian techniques for their robustness. Models of learning An overview of Kruschke'smodels of attentional learning through 2010 is provided in reference. That reference summarizes numerous findings from human learning that suggest attentional learning. That reference also summarizes a series of Kruschke'smodels of learning under a general framework. Dimensionality in backpropagation networks Backpropagation . The algorithms also improved the speed of learning. Exemplar-based models and learned attention The ALCOVE model of associative learning of R. M. Nosofsky. These models mathematically represent stimuli in a multi-dimensional space based on human perceived dimensions (such as color, size, etc.), and assume that training examples are stored in memory as complete exemplars (that is, as combinations of values on the dimensions). The ALCOVE model is trained with input-output pairs and gradually associates exemplars with trained outputs while simultaneously shifting attention toward relevant dimensions and away from irrelevant dimensions. An enhancement of the ALCOVE model, called RASHNL, provided a mathematically coherent mechanism for gradient descent with limited-capacity attention. The RASHNL model assumed that attention is shifted rapidly when a stimulus is presented, while learning of attention across trials is more gradual. These models were fitted to empirical data from numerous human learning experiments, and provided good accounts of relative difficulties of learning different types of associations, and of accuracies of individual stimuli during training and generalization. Those models can not explain all aspects of learning; for example, an additional mechanism was needed to account for the rapidity of human learning of reversal shift (i.e., what was "A" is now "B" and vice versa). The highlighting effect When people learn to categorize combinations of discrete features successively across a training session, people will tend to learn about the distinctive features of the later-learned items instead of learning about their complete combination of features.

When people learn to categorize combinations of discrete features successively across a training session, people will tend to learn about the distinctive features of the later-learned items instead of learning about their complete combination of features. This attention to distinctive features of later-learned items is called "the highlighting effect", and is derived from an earlier finding known as "the inverse base-rate effect". Kruschke conducted an extensive series of novel learning experiments with human participants, and developed two connectionist models to account for the findings. The ADIT model learned to attend to distinctive features, and the EXIT model used rapid shifts of attention on each trial. A canonical highlighting experiment and a review of findings was presented in reference. Hybrid representation models for rules or functions with exceptions People can learn to classify stimuli according to rules such as "a container for liquids that is wider than it is tall is called a bowl", along with exceptions to the rule such as "unless it is this specific case that is called a mug". A series of experiments demonstrated that people tend to classify novel items, that are relatively close to an exceptional case, according to the rule more than would be predicted by exemplar-based models. To account for the data, Erickson and Kruschke developed hybrid models that shifted attention between rule-based representation and exemplar-based representation. People can also learn continuous relationships between variables, called functions, such as "a page'sheight is about 1.5 times its width". When people are trained with examples of functions that have exceptional cases, the data are accounted for by hybrid models that combine locally applicable functional rules. Bayesian models of learning Kruschke also explored Bayesian models of human-learning results that were addressed by his connectionist models. The effects of sequential or successive learning (such as highlighting, mentioned above) can be especially challenging for Bayesian models, which typically assume order-independence. Instead of assuming that the entire

models of human-learning results that were addressed by his connectionist models. The effects of sequential or successive learning (such as highlighting, mentioned above) can be especially challenging for Bayesian models, which typically assume order-independence. Instead of assuming that the entire learning system is globally Bayesian, Kruschke developed models in which layers of the system are locally Bayesian. This "locally Bayesian learning" accounted for combinations of phenomena that are difficult for non-Bayesian learning models or for globally-Bayesian learning models. Another advantage of Bayesian representations is that they inherently represent uncertainty of parameter values, unlike typical connectionist models that save only a single value for each parameter. The representation of uncertainty can be used to guide active learning in which the learner decides which cases would be most useful to learn about next. Career Kruschke joined the faculty of the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington as a lecturer in 1989. He remained at IU until he retired as Provost Professor Emeritus in 2022. Education Kruschke attained a B.A. in mathematics, with High Distinction in General Scholarship, from the University of California at Berkeley in 1983. In 1990, he received a Ph.D. in Psychology also from U. C. Berkeley. Kruschke attended the 1978 Summer Science Program at The Thacher School in Ojai CA, which focused on astrophysics and celestial mechanics. He attended the 1988 Connectionist Models Summer School at Carnegie Mellon University.

František "Franz" Wald (9 January 1861 – 19 October 1931) was a Czech professor of chemistry who contributed to metallurgy, analytical and physical chemistry. He questioned atomic and molecular approaches to understanding chemical phenomena. Wald was born at Brandýsek, near Slaný, where his father, originally from Chemnitz, Germany, was a foreman of a workshop of the Austrian Railways. His mother was from Karlsbad. Wald went to school at Kladno and received a grant from the Austrian State Railways to study at Prague. Although German adopted a Czech nationality. He worked at the laboratory of Pražská železářská společnost, the main ironworks in Kladno. He became a chief chemist in 1886. In 1908 he became a professor at the Czech Technical University, Prague. Wald examined chemical phenomena using the laws of thermodynamics, rather than examine them through ideas from atomic theory. He wrote on this in his Die Energie und ihre Entwertung (1888). His second book Chemie fází (Prague, 1918) examined his idea of phase as a fundamental concept rather than atoms.

over the Crackenback Range, near Jindabyne The southeast Australian foehn is a Westerlies Ranging from cool to hot (depending on the season), the effect occurs when westerly winds descend steeply from the Great Dividing Range onto the coastal slopes, thereby causing major adiabatic compression (the rate at which temperature decreases with altitude) and a substantial loss of moisture. The effect is known by other names, such as the Australian chinook, the Great Dividing wind, the Great Dividing foehn or simply westerly foehn. Typically occurring from late autumn to spring, though not completely unheard of in the summer (particularly in eastern Tasmania), the foehn effect mainly occurs when a westerly or south-westerly frontal system (which brings rainy and windy weather to southern capitals like Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide) passes over the Great Dividing Range and thereby provides clear to partly cloudy, relatively warmer conditions on the lee. at the coolest (which is usual during polar blasts) to as high as – All depending on the conditions on the windward side. Origins moves northwards. The foehn effect on the coastal plains of southeastern Australia is mostly linked with the passage of a deep low pressure system or westerly cold fronts across the Great Australian Bight and southeastern Australia that cause strong winds to reorient virtually perpendicular to some parts of the Great Dividing Range, predominantly between late autumn into winter and spring, particularly during a negative Antarctic oscillation As such, the Great Dividing foehn is one the few reasons why Sydney, among other places on the coastal plain, registers high temperatures in the warm season but seldom attains cold maximum temperatures in the winter. Furthermore, when the warm season north-westerly winds strike (such as the Brickfielder), the hottest and driest areas of southeastern Australia will generally be located along the southern coastal region of NSW in the lee of the Great Dividing range and coastal escarpment due to the foehn effect.

Much lower relative humidity figures would also observed in these leeward stations. Formation File:Foehn wind illustration.svg The southeast Australian foehn is distinguished by three criteria; surface winds which blow from the mountains' direction, a sharp rise in air temperature in the leeward side of the mountains, and an accompanying diminution in Atmospheric river During these conditions, an orographic cloud band, or the Föhn wall, builds up along the ridgelines of the southeastern highlands due to condensation of moisture as the air ascends the windward slopes. Meanwhile, the Föhn arch, with its broad layer of altostratus cloud, shapes downwind of the mountains in the ascending component of a standing lee mountain wave. In weather maps, a band of clear air called the Föhn gap, which is over the downwind of the Great Dividing region, can be seen between the wall and arched cloud cover. This foehn wind can be referred to as thermodynamically driven. A vertically propagating gravity wave over the affected region exists. The descending motion over the coastal escarpment is stronger than that over the primary range and is connected with more powerful shear. The downslope winds tend to be strong, particularly near the lee'ssurface of the coastal escarpment. Smaller-scale, trapped lee waves over the affected region exist, and their incidence, together with the strong wind shears, signal significant turbulence throughout the boundary layer, which is concordant with the heavy gusty surface winds registered on the leeside. In southeastern Queensland, foehn winds are associated with prefrontal/pre-trough gradient northwesterly winds, post-frontal west to southwesterly gradient winds linked with anticyclonic ridging over southern Australia, and as well as Australian east coast low Leeward zones *From north to south, the westerly foehn strongly affects areas that lie

Just as the fibbinary numbers can be formed by reinterpreting Zeckendorff representations as binary, the Moser–de Bruijn sequence can be formed by reinterpreting binary representations as quaternary. A number n is a fibbinary number if and only if the binomial coefficient 3nn is odd. Relatedly, n is fibbinary if and only if the central Stirling numbers of the second kind Every fibbinary number f_i takes one of the two forms 2f_j or 4f_j+1, where f_j is another fibbinary number. Correspondingly, the power series whose exponents are fibbinary numbers, B(x) 1+x+x^2+x^4+x^5+x^8+, obeys the functional equation B(x) xB(x^4)+B(x^2). provide asymptotic formulas for the number of integer partitions in which all parts are fibbinary. If a hypercube graph Q_d of dimension d is indexed by integers from 0 to 2^d-1, so that two vertex (graph theory) Every number has a fibbinary multiple. For instance, 15 is not fibbinary, but multiplying it by 11 produces 165 (101001012), which is.

Charles P. Clemens (1842 – November 29, 1895) was a soldier, reverend, and state legislator in Mississippi. He represented Clarke County, Mississippi in the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1874 and 1875. In 1873, the Weekly Clarion reported on his candidacy describing him as a colored "carpetbagger" and accused him of abandoning his wife and four children when he moved to Mississippi to seek office. However, on his army discharge papers he was listed as widowed and his next of kin was listed as a daughter named Nora Brown. During his time in the house he was a member of several committees including Public Education, Federal Relations, Railroads, and Public Works. He was buried at the Forest Hill cemetery in Piqua, Ohio.

The contested garment (CG) rule, also called concede-and-divide, is a division rule for solving problems of conflicting claims (also called "bankruptcy problems"). The idea is that, if one claimant'sclaim is less than 100% of the estate to divide, then he effectively concedes the unclaimed estate to the other claimant. Therefore, we first give to each claimant, the amount conceded to him/her by the other claimant. The remaining amount is then divided equally among the two claimants. The CG rule first appeared in the Mishnah, exemplified by a case of conflict over a garment, hence the name. In the Mishnah, it was described only for two-people problems. But in 1985, Robert Aumann and Michael Maschler have proved that, in every bankruptcy problem, there is a unique division that is Coherence (fairness) * If one says "all of it is mine" and the other says "all of it is mine", then this one shall swear that he owns no less than half of it, and this one shall swear that he owns no less than half of it, and they shall divide it between them. * If one says, "all of it is mine" and the other says "half of it is mine", then the one who says "all of it is mine" shall swear that he owns no less than three quarters of it; and the one who says "half of it is mine" shall swear that he owns no less than one quarter of it; the former takes three quarters and the latter takes one quarter." Many claimants To extend the CG rule to problems with three or more claimants, we apply the general principle of consistency (also called Coherence (fairness) * If the total value of the estate is only 100 dinars, the wives divide the estate equally. * If there were 200 dinars in the estate, the first wife takes 50 dinars, while the other two wives

Coherence (fairness) * If the total value of the estate is only 100 dinars, the wives divide the estate equally. * If there were 200 dinars in the estate, the first wife takes 50 dinars, while the other two wives take three dinars of gold each, which are the equivalent of 75 silver dinars. * If there were 300 dinars in the estate, the first wife takes 50 dinars, the second takes 100 dinars, and the third takes six dinars of gold, the equivalent of 150 silver dinars." Constructive description The CG rule can be described in a constructive way. Suppose E increases from 0 to the half-sum of the claims: the first units are divided equally, until each claimant receives _i(c_i/2). Then, the claimant with the smallest c_i is put on hold, and the next units are divided equally among the remaining claimants until each of them up to the next-smallest c_i. Then, the claimant with the second-smallest c_i is put on hold too. This goes on until either the estate is fully divided, or each claimant gets exactly c_i/2. If some estate remains, then the losses are divided in a symmetric way, starting with an estate equal to the sum of all claims, and decreasing down to half this sum. Properties The CG rule is self-dual. This means that it treats gains and losses symmetrically: it divides gains in the same way that it divides losses. Formally: CG(c,E) c - CG(c, c - E). Game-theoretic analysis The CG rule can be derived independently, as the Nucleolus (game theory) Piniles' rule Zvi Menahem Piniles, a 19th-century Jewish scholar, presented a different rule to explain the cases in Ketubot. His rule is similar to the CG rule, but it is not consistent with the CG rule when there are two claimants. The rule works as follows: * If the sum of claims is

A strategic bankruptcy problem is a variant of a bankruptcy problem (also called claims problem) in which claimants may act strategically, that is, they may manipulate their claims or their behavior. There are various kinds of strategic bankruptcy problems, differing in the assumptions about the possible ways in which claimants may manipulate. Definitions There is a divisible resource, denoted by E ( Estate or Endowment). There are npeople who claim this resource or parts of it; they are called claimants. The amount claimed by each claimant i is denoted by c_i. Usually, _i 1^n c_i > E, that is, the estate is insufficient to satisfy all the claims. The goal is to allocate to each claimant an amount x_i such that _i 1^n x_i E. Unit-selection game O'Neill describes the following game. * The estate is divided to small units (for example, if all claims are integers, then the estate can be divided into E units of size 1). * Each claimant i chooses some c_i units. * Each unit is divided equally among all agents who claim it. Naturally, the agents would try to choose units such that the overlap between different agents is minimal. This game has a Nash equilibrium. In any Nash equilibrium, there is some integer ksuch that each unit is claimed by either k or k+1 claimants. When there are two claimants, there is a unique equilibrium payoff vector, and it is identical to the one returned by the contested garment rule. describes the following game. * Each claimant proposes a division rule. * The proposed rule must satisfy the property of order-preservation (a claimant with a higher claim must have weakly-higher gain and weakly-higher loss). * All proposed rules are applied to the problem; each claimant'sclaim is replaced with the maximum amount awarded to him by a proposed rule. * The process repeats with the revised claims. The process converges. Moreover, it has a

loss). * All proposed rules are applied to the problem; each claimant'sclaim is replaced with the maximum amount awarded to him by a proposed rule. * The process repeats with the revised claims. The process converges. Moreover, it has a unique Nash equilibrium, in which the payoffs are equal to the ones prescribed by the constrained equal awards rule. describes a dual game, in which, at each round, each claimant'sclaim is replaced with the minimum amount awarded to him by a proposed rule. This process, too, has a unique Nash equilibrium, in which the payoffs are equal to the ones prescribed by the Constrained equal losses Amount-proposal game Sonn describes another sequential game of offers. It is parametrized by a two-claimant rule R. * The highest claimant (say, claimant 1) suggests a division. * Each other claimant can either accept or reject the offer. ** Any claimant that accepts the offer, leaves with it. ** Any claimant kthat rejects the offer, receives the outcome of rule R on the two-claimant problem for k and 1, on the sum of the offers for k and 1. * The highest claimant receives the remainder. * The process is repeated with all the rejecters. If R satisfies resource monotonicity and Supermodular function Corchon and Herrero'sgame Corchon and Herrero describe the following game. It is parametrized by a "compromise function" (for example: arithmetic mean). * Agents propose division vectors, which must be bounded by the claims vector. * The compromise function is used to aggregate the proposals. A two-claimant rule is implementable in Dominant Strategy Costly manipulations of claims Landsburg considers a two-claimant setting in which a claimant may manipulate by pre-donating some of his claims to the other claimant. The payoff is then calculated using the Nash Bargaining Solution. In equilibrium, both claimants receive the payoffs prescribed by the contested garment rule.

Ella Louise Stokes Hunter (died 1988) was an American mathematics education Early life and education Hunter was born in Petersburg, Virginia. After graduating Peabody High School, she attended Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, the predecessor institution to Virginia State University. She went to Howard University, joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and graduating in 1920. She earned a master'sdegree in education from Harvard University in 1925. Although African American women such as Alberta Virginia Scott had previously graduated from Radcliffe College, she may have been the first to earn a degree from Harvard proper. Later in life, while working as a faculty member at Virginia State, Hunter became a doctoral student at the University of Virginia, studying mathematics education and doing her doctoral dissertation research on the transition from high school to college mathematics. She completed her Ph.D. in 1953, becoming the first African-American woman to earn a degree at the university, two months after another doctoral student in education, Walter N. Ridley, became the first African-American with a degree from the University of Virginia. Career and later life After graduating from Howard University, Hunter became an instructor at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, where she taught for many years. In 1921, she was one of six instructors there who banded together to found the Delta Omega graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha (originally called the Nu chapter), and later she became its first historian and eighth president. On the faculty at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, she met John McNeile Hunter, who began teaching electrical engineering there in 1925 and later became the third African American to earn a doctorate in physics. They married in 1929, and their daughter Jean, later a research psychologist, was born in 1938. Hunter became "known for her mentorship of Black students, particularly Black women studying math". Mathematician Linda B. Hayden recalls her as one of the faculty mentors who encouraged her to

daughter Jean, later a research psychologist, was born in 1938. Hunter became "known for her mentorship of Black students, particularly Black women studying math". Mathematician Linda B. Hayden recalls her as one of the faculty mentors who encouraged her to go on to graduate study. Mathematician Gladys West saw Hunter and her husband as "the first model of a power couple", and Hunter as a mentor who "still had something to prove, and maybe she felt like she was carrying the weight of other women on her shoulders". By 1948, she had been promoted to associate professor. After retiring from Virginia State University, Hunter continued to teach at Saint Paul's College (Virginia) Recognition The annual student research conference at the University of Virginia was renamed as the Hunter Research Conference in 2020, in Hunter'shonor. The conference had previously been named for Jabez L. M. Curry, but his name was removed over his historical advocacy of slavery, opposition to school integration, and service as a confederate officer in the American Civil War.
