The oxidation of 6-methyltetrahydropterin and tetrahydrobiopterin coupled to the formation of tyrosine by phenylalanine hydroxylase generates a precursor species to the quinonoid product that is tentatively identified as a 4a-hydroxy adduct based on its spectral similarity to the 4a-hydroxy-6-methyl-5-deazatetrahydropterin. The rate of appearance of this intermediate and that of tyrosine are equal and hydroxylase catalyzed in accord with the completion | pubmed_abstracts |
CD28 is required for the thymic generation and peripheral maintenance of a functional Treg population. CD4+ Foxp3+ Tregs are key negative regulators of T cell-mediated immunity and are required for the control of spontaneous responses to self through several mechanisms ([@B59], [@B60]). Contact-mediated suppression relies on CTLA-4 interactions with its ligands and is discussed in detail below. Bystander suppression is mediated by suppressive cytokines, mainly IL-10 ([@B61]) and TGF-β ([@B62]) produced by activated Tregs, and by induction of cytokine starvation in target cells by IL-2 clearance ([@B63]). B7 ligand recognition plays an important role in Treg development and function, summarized in Table [1](#T1){ref-type="table"}. In CD28-deficient NOD mice, the percentage of peripheral Tregs is strongly reduced ([@B64]). Similar reductions are observed in NOD mice lacking both CD80 and CD86, leading to the conclusion that the B7--CD28 interaction is required for the formation of the full Treg repertoire. The reduction in the percentage of Tregs in NOD mice treated with B7-blocking CTLA-4-Ig correlates with a higher incidence of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes ([@B64]). Subsequent analysis revealed that Treg deficiency in CD28^−/−^ mice can be traced back to thymic development. The percentage of Treg precursors among thymic CD4 single-positive cells is significantly reduced in CD28^−/−^ mice as well as in NOD mice injected with anti-CD80 and CD86 antibodies ([@B65]), and in B7 double knockout mice ([@B66]). Peripheral homeostatic expansion of Tregs -- but not effector T cells -- in normal syngeneic hosts is also strongly suppressed by anti-CD80 and CD86 antibodies ([@B66]). A mechanistic explanation for the thymic requirement for CD28 was proposed by Tai et al. ([@B67]) who examined the consequences of CD28 deletion in a TCR-transgenic model. Mice expressing the AND TCR and its agonist ligand, a pigeon cytochrome *c* peptide, were found to effectively induce thymic Tregs only in the presence of CD28. This means that while a strong selection signal through TCR is indeed required ([@B68]), it is not sufficient for the full initiation of the agonist selection program leading to the generation of Tregs, and that a co-stimulatory signal from mTEC-expressed B7 molecules through CD28 is also required.

The eventual goal, which really isn't that much more complicated,
is to generate a gif animation, where each successive frame shows
what happens when sea level rises, say, another foot.
In any case, a quick glance at the gif suggests that my naive interpretation of the data's lat,lon grid is, in all likelihood, generally more-or-less correct. And I probably don't need anything more accurate/precise for the intended purpose. But it would be nice (and I'd still like) to have more thorough documentation than what's cited above. Anybody have that info, or just a link to it would be great. Thanks.
E d i t # 2 ------------------
Just to illustrate the intended use, below's an animation, focusing on the Florida region of the f10g tile. Each successive frame raises sea level (actually, lowers the elevation of each land pixel, leaving ocean unchanged) by one meter. The first frame is raw data, and there are 30 frames in all, and then repeat. Of course, one meter times 30 is kind of extreme, but the NOAA data's in meters, so I don't immediately have any finer vertical resolution available. And it's just a prototype illustration (but I know where I'm buying my retirement home:).
The colortable/colorkey is also different than the first gif above,
with light_green-->dark_green for the first twelve meters, and then yellow up to 100 meters, as follows

ROM is a type of solid state memory. Each ROM cell is fabricated with a desired logic state. In other words, a bit of binary data is permanently stored in a ROM cell either in a logic state of “0” or “1” depending on whether there is a conductive path between a bit line and a VSS line. In accordance with a definition of a ROM cell's logic, when a logic state of “1” is stored in a ROM cell, there is a connected path from a bit line to a VSS line. On the other hand, when a logic state of “0” is stored in a ROM cell, there is no connected path from the bit line to the VSS line. The definition of “0” and “1” described above can be swapped depending on different applications.
As technologies evolve, semiconductor process nodes have been scaled down for high density ROM integrated circuits. As a result, the form factor of ROM integrated circuit has been improved from shrinking the semiconductor process node (e.g., shrink the process node towards the sub-20 nm node). As semiconductor devices are scaled down, new techniques are needed to maintain the electronic components' performance from one generation to the next. For example, low leakage current transistors are desirable for high density and high speed ROM integrated circuits.
Fin field-effect transistors (FinFETs) have emerged as an effective alternative to further reduce leakage current in semiconductor devices. In contrast to the prior planar MOS transistor, which has a channel formed at the surface of a semiconductor substrate, a FinFET has a three dimensional channel region. In a FinFET, an active region including the drain, the channel region and the source protrudes up from the surface of the semiconductor substrate upon which the FinFET is located. The active region of the FinFET, like a fin, is rectangular in shape from a cross section view. In addition, the gate structure of the FinFET wraps the active region around three sides like an upside-down U. As a result, the gate structure's control of the channel has become stronger. The short channel leakage effect of conventional planar transistors has been reduced. As such, when the FinFET is turned off, the gate structure can better control the channel so as to reduce leakage current.
The three-dimensional shape of the FinFET channel region allows for an increased gate width without increased silicon area even as the overall scale of the devices is reduced with semiconductor process scaling, and in conjunction with a reduced gate length, providing a reasonable channel width characteristic | uspto_backgrounds |
Lynae Larson is an American former marathon runner, who won the 1978 Chicago Marathon. She failed to qualify for the 1976 Summer Olympics.
Personal life and early career
Larson was born in 1953 and studied at Dickinson State College, where she began running. In her sophomore year, Larson set four meeting records at the North Dakota Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women event. She set records in the 440-yard run, long jump, 200-meter low hurdles, and the 880-yard run. In 1975, Larson won the long jump, 50 metres hurdles, 880-yard run and 1-mile run events at the same competition, and set a meeting record in the mile run. From 1976 to 1977, Larson was the coach of the Dickinson State girl's track and field team. The following year, Larson was a high school gym teacher in Brookings, South Dakota. In 2002, Larson worked as a schoolteacher in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She also worked as Women's Athletics Director at Dickinson State College.
Career
Larson failed to qualify for the marathon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics, after withdrawing into the qualification event due to an injury.
Larson won the 1978 Chicago Marathon, in a time of 2:59:25. She received no prize money, as the event only began awarding prize money in 1982. After the race, other runners were complaining about the 10:30 start, which had most runners finishing in heat, but Larson instead was concerned that the delayed start time affected her travel home, as she had to drive six hours back to Brookings, South Dakota, to work the next day. A race sponsor said the start time had been chosen to accommodate all entrants who lived outside the city.
Larson competed at the 1979 Chicago Marathon, and was leading until around from the finish line, when she was overtaken by 15-year-old Laura Michalek. Larson eventually finished around a minute behind Michalek. In the same year, Larson won the second ever Lincoln Marathon, taking 31 minutes off the winning time from the previous year.
In 1984, Larson won the Kaypro Super Run in Las Vegas. The event was only for amateur athletes, one from each of the 50 states of the US. Larson qualified as amateur as she had not competed at the Olympics. The promised prize money was $500,000, awarded as $10,000 per | wikipedia_en |
Next, we need to generalize Eckart dissipative thermodynamics to the case when also chemical diffusion, (lepton diffusion in this case) is present. Therefore, we need to consider the lepton conservation equation (n Y\_eu\^+ n Y\_(u\^+n\^))\_[;]{}=0, where $n^{\alpha}$ is the neutrino four–velocity with respect to the frame comoving with matter (see [@Thorne], [@IS]), with $n^{\mu}u_{\mu}=0$ and $n^{\mu}n_{\mu}=1$. Defining the neutrino flux as $f^{\alpha}=n Y_{\nu}n^{\alpha}$, that satisfies $u_{\alpha}f^{\alpha}=0\,$, and using the continuity equation (\[cont\]) we obtain the equation of lepton conservation $n u^{\alpha} (Y_L)_{,\alpha}=-f^{\beta}_{\,\,;\beta}$. This latter equation is particularized for lepton diffusion, which is relevant for nascent neutron stars, but it is a general conservation equation for massless particles. Therefore, the set of equations we have is the following:
- Continuity equation: (nu\^)\_[;]{}=0.
- Energy conservation equation (stress-energy tensor projected onto $u$): u\^\_[,]{}+u\^\_[ ;]{}(+p)+q\^\_[ ;]{} +q\^u\^u\_[;]{}=0.
- First law of thermodynamics: d=dn+nTds+n\_ dY\_L.\[newfirst\]
- Lepton conservation: nu\^Y\_[L,]{}=-f\^\_[ ;]{}.\[Ydot\]
Together they give: nTu\^s\_[,]{}=-q\^\_[ ;]{}+\_ f\^\_[ ;]{} -q\^u\^u\_[;]{} .\[sdot\] Let us now define the entropy flux as in [@Israel], S\^=snu\^+-\_. Notice that when degenerate neutrinos dominate the transport of energy and particles, $q_\alpha=\mu_{\nu} f_\alpha$ and there is no entropy flux. By taking the divergence of the entropy flux, we have TS\^\_[ ;]{}= -(D\_T+Tu\^u\_[;]{}) -f\^TD\_ , where we have defined $\eta\equiv\frac{\mu_{\nu}}{T}$.

After the standard introduction atop a balcony with Congress as a backdrop, the D.C. Top Chef puts the popular mise en place Quickfire challenge front and center. Had everyone been asked to cook, we’d have gotten the usual mélange of dishes, with some overachievers underachieving and vice versa, and no real sense of who the contenders are this season. Granted, no challenge will tell us everything about how the season is going to shape up, but it stands to reason that those with refined knife skills are very likely to be refined in other areas. And lo, a pair of tough-talking, “alpha-male” types emerge as the persons to beat: Kenny, who zips through three of the four stages in first place (including breaking down four whole chickens at a rate of 10 seconds per), and Angelo, who ultimately wins the Quickfire (and $20,000) with his roasted wing & thigh, curry onion jam, and potato noodles.
Playing the role of hubristic culinary hotshot to the hilt, Angelo also emerges as the early villain of Season Seven, announcing his absurd ambition “to be the first contestant to win every single challenge” and likening his cooking to “an orchestra with flavors.” Still, I prefer brash, overconfident chefs who can cook to the brash, overconfident chefs who don’t know what they’re doing, and there’s the expected abundance of the latter early on. The Elimination challenge asks the chefs to divide into four groups and create individual dishes that most strongly represent where they’re from—all for the 300 or so partygoers (including The Bachelor from The Bachelor!) celebrating cherry blossom season. With the best and worst from each group up for victory and elimination, respectively, the two top Quickfire competitors, Angelo and Kenny, are given the advantage of choosing someone weak to square off against. Tactically, it’s only a minor edge, since nobody knows for sure how good or bad anyone else is yet; on a more personal level, it’s likely to cause friction between the Quickfire champs and the chefs they assume suck the most.
Surprise, surprise, the chefs who make head-slappingly stupid decisions are punished for it later. You had to know Jacqueline was in trouble when she talked about her desire to prove that self-taught cooks who cater can win Top Chef. Then | pile-cc |

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI'I
MICHAEL J. MATSUKAWA, Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF HAWAI'I 2011 REAPPORTIONMENT COMMISSION; and
SCOTT NAGO, CHIEF ELECTION OFFICER, STATE OF HAWAI'I,
Respondents.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and McKenna, JJ.)
Upon consideration of respondents 2011 Reapportionment
Commission and Chief Election Officer's motion for
reconsideration and/or clarification of the January 4, 2012 order
and the January 6, 2012 opinion granting the petition for a writ
of mandamus, the papers in support and the record, it appears
that the lack of complete information about the non-permanent
status and location of Hawaii's non-residents is no basis for
disregarding the express mandate of the Hawai'i Constitution,
article IV, section 4, that only permanent residents be counted
in the population base for the purpose of reapportionment of the
state legislature.
It further appears that the January 6, 2012 opinion
discussed and disposed of the sole issue presented in
petitioner's petition as to whether the inclusion of non
permanent residents in the population base for the 2011 Final
Reapportionment Plan constituted an error in the Reapportionment
Plan. How the Commission identifies the non-permanent resident
population for apportionment under article IV, section 4 and
whether the Commission must follow the procedures set forth in
HRS § 25-2 in preparing and filing a new reapportionment plan
were not issues in petitioner's mandamus proceeding.
It finally appears that the January 6, 2012 opinion
advises the Commission that apportionment under article IV,
section 6 requires the Commission to "make an honest and good
faith effort to construct districts as nearly of equal population
as is practicable. . . . [M]athematical exactness or precision

I'm a fan and contributor to Lucy, which is mentioned briefly in the header:
<http://incubator.apache.org/lucy/>
While Lucy did start out as a C port of Lucene (hence the name), it's since
broken any attempts at Lucene compatibility. Instead, it's aiming to be a fast
and flexible standalone C core with bindings to higher level languages. Since
it's growing out of Kinosearch, it's best developed bindings are in Perl, but
support for all the usual suspects (Python, Ruby, etc.) is planned.
Technically, the main difference from Lucene is that it gets cozier with the
machine: the OS is our VM. It's mostly mmap() IO, and we're very conscious of
paging and cache issues. While we're trying to maintain 32-bit back
compatibility, we take full advantage of 64-bit solutions when they offer
themselves. The scripted bindings are also very cool --- you can do things
like make callbacks to scoring methods in your script language to truly
customize your results.
If for some reason you're not finding what you need in Lucene and Solr, check
it out. We just became a full Apache incubator project, and are eager to get
more developers involved. You'll find clean C code, decent documentation, and | hackernews |
Existing mRNA quantification methods As it is becoming increasingly apparent that gene expression in individuai cells deviates substantially from the average behavior of cell populations (Raj and van Oudenaarden, 2008), new methods that provide accurate integer counts of mRNA copy numbers in individual cells are needed. Ideally, such methods should also reveal the intracellular locations of the mRNAs, as mRNA localization is often used by cells to spatially restrict the activity of RNA binding proteins (St Johnston, 2005).

Thousands of man-made chemicals are annually released into the environment by agriculture, transport, industries, and other human activities.

RPS3 induces maturation and activation of mouse BMDCs, THP-1 cells, and human DCs {#Sec15}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To confirm the effects of RPS3 which binds to TLR4, we used recombinant RPS3 from E.coli in all experiments due to productivity and convenience. Firstly, we determined the effects of RPS3 on mouse BMDCs by characterizing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and IFN-β. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, and IFN-β were all significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner in DCs treated with RPS3 compared to untreated DCs (Fig. [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}A). In addition, the expression levels of co-stimulatory molecules CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC class I were also increased in DCs treated with RPS3 compared to untreated DCs (Fig. [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}B). To evaluate the activation of signaling pathways, mouse BMDCs were treated with RPS3 in a time course over an hour. The levels of p-ERK, p-P38, and p-JNK and p-AKT were all found to be elevated (Fig. [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}C). To assess NF-κB activation, we measured the degradation of the inhibitory IκB-α protein (Fig. [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}C). The activation of DCS by RPS3 was carried out using protein purified from *E. coli* in such a way that endotoxins were removed from the preparation. As a negative control, GFP prepared in an identical manner was used; LPS was used as a positive control since it is a known TLR4 ligand. We assessed LPS contamination of the RPS3 protein preparation used to treat DCs and showed that it was not as a result of endotoxin contamination from *E. coli*. Treatment with polymyxin B (PMB) decreased the effects of LPS in DCs, whereas the effects of RPS3 in DCs were not affected but instead were decreased by proteinase K treatment (Additional File [2](#MOESM2){ref-type="media"}: Figure S4). These results indicate that RPS3 can induce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increase the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, and activate signaling pathways in mouse BMD | pubmed_central |

According to Claim 6 of the present invention, the laser control apparatus takes a correction between an A/D converter detecting a current control voltage at the reproduction and a D/A converter controlling a bias current at the recording, and even when full scales are different or offsets are present between the A/D converter and the D/A converter, the bias power can be set highly precisely.

Drug use is a serious problem at HMP Chelmsford according to HM Inspectorate of Prisons (42.6% of prisoners failed drug tests) and organised gangs supply prohibited items. Inspectors describe, "significant concerns about safety" and excessive levels of violence, much of the violence is due to supply and use of prohibited substances. Overcrowding and under-resourcing are blamed. Peter Clarke said the rising violence, suicides, accessibility of drugs and bad living conditions made him consider using the Urgent Notification protocol, which would make the Justice Secretary take action. In one month, prison authorities seized £15,000 worth of illegal goods. There were 17 suicides at Chelmsford during the 8 years to 2018 and 5 of them were since the inspection in 2016. For examples of suicides, see Notable former inmates. Deborah Coles of Inquest said the prison was, "incredibly unsafe [the rate of suicides] suggests that the plethora of recommendations following previous self-inflicted deaths have not been implemented. Inquests repeatedly identify the same systemic failings with dismal regularity. Recent inquests into deaths at Chelmsford prison have highlighted failures around the management of self-harm procedures, a lack of staff training in mental health awareness, inadequate risk assessments and failures in responding to bullying. The failure to implement existing guidelines on the care of those at risk indicates a lack of care, neglect and inhuman treatment from punitive and often inflexible prison regimes." Coles urged the setting up of a national group to supervise how lessons from inquests and reports are carried out, the group to be accountable to Parliament. Problems inspectors drew attention to included that 40% of prisoners who did not take part in activities were locked in their cells for up to 22 hours a day and items including mattresses and pillows were in short supply. The Howard League for Penal Reform maintain Chelmsford was designed to hold 521 men but the prison actually held 700 men when it was inspected.

Finally, we turn to the apparent variations in the planet’s phase curve. From Figure \[fig:planet-phase-curve-var\_Analysis\_of\_Kepler76b\], variations in $A_{\rm cos}$ and $A_{\rm sin}$ amount to variations of about 40% in $A_{\rm planet}$ around a median value of $50.5 \pm 1.3$ ppm. Meanwhile, $\delta$ has a median value of $-9^\circ \pm 1.3^\circ$ (an offset east of the sub-stellar point) and swings between about $-40^\circ$ (an eastward offset) and $+20^\circ$ (a westward offset). Figure \[fig:Aplanet-delta-var\_Analysis\_of\_Kepler76b\] shows the range of $A_{\rm planet}$- and $\delta$-values, along with a linear fit which incorporated the per-point uncertainties in $A_{\rm planet}$ and $\delta$ [@boggs1990orthogonal].
The Kepler-76 system closely resembles the HAT-P-7 system – both have hot ($>$ 6,000 K) stars hosting large ($>$ 1 ${\rm M_{Jup}}$) short-period planets with observed [[*Kepler*]{}]{} secondary eclipses indicating dayside brightness temperatures $>$ 2,700 K. As discussed in Section \[sec:Introduction\], @2016NatAs...1E...4A applied a model similar to ours, searching for changes in the planet’s phase curve, finding statistically significant fluctuations in $\delta$ between about $6^\circ$ eastward and $9^\circ$ westward of the substellar point over timescales of tens to hundreds of days. That study then applied a model involving atmospheric transport of aerosols and found good qualitative agreement between the model and their observational results. Our results are qualitatively similar, although with much larger apparent swings in $\delta$. In addition, we were able to detect statistically significant variations in the planet’s phase curve amplitude, while @2016NatAs...1E...4A did not.
Discussion and Conclusions {#sec:Discussion}
==========================
As discussed in @2016ApJ...828...22P, the phase curve offset for an eclipsing planet arises, in part, from the competition between thermal emission from the hottest regions and reflection from highly refractive cloud regions on the dayside. Although the daysides of hot Jupiters like Kepler | arxiv |

The workers had been on strike since walking off their jobs last August. Late last month a judge ruled that the company had violated labor law and ordered the workers reinstated with back pay to May 6. The workers returned to their jobs last week, but on the same day, Stella Doro announced it was shutting the factory in three months because the union had failed to make any meaningful concessions that would stop the company from losing money.
The union is also seeking to reopen negotiations over both the expired collective bargaining agreement and Stella Doro officials decision to close the plant and relocate production.
The company cannot simply ignore the decision of a federal administrative law judge and it cannot punish the workers at Stella Doro for exercising their rights under law, said Joyce Alston, president of Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Local 50.
Calls to Stella Doro, Brynwood and their attorney, Mark Jacoby, were not returned. The company released a statement last week charging union leadership with failing to grasp that any business that cannot operate profitably must seek changes that will enable it to do so.
Elbert Tellem, the assistant regional director of the NLRB, confirmed the unions filings, but would not otherwise comment.
Labor lawyer Michael Weber, a senior partner at Littler Mendelson, said the workers attempt to link the closing to union activity was not surprising. They could argue it, but if the company can show legitimate business reasons for their actions, they have every right to go where they can operate profitably, he said.
The former regional director of the NLRB, Dan Sullivan, said that because Stella Doro indicated that it was not going out of business completely and would continue to produce products after the shutdown, the union may have a case. They have to prove the reason for closing was union activity and not, as the employer says, economic motivation, he said.
He said the union would likely point to the timing of the plant closing announcement, which occurred soon after the judges decision, and that the company would continue to stand by the position that it was losing money.
A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the mayor appointed a mediator in April, but that the two sides were unable to resolve their differences. He said the tax abatements Stella Doro received are available to any business that builds | pile-cc |

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Jorge Espinosa, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before HUBBART, NESBITT and JORGENSON, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
The defendant, Miguel Angel Fernandez, appeals from a final judgment of conviction and sentence of life imprisonment for burglary of a structure with an assault or battery with a firearm, robbery with a firearm, and kidnapping with a firearm. We affirm the judgment of conviction. However, because the trial court erred in applying the sentencing guidelines, we remand for resentencing within the guidelines range.
First, we hold that the trial court did not err in excluding as hearsay two out-of-court statements relating to defendant's alibi defense. No offer of proof was made to indicate what the excluded evidence would have revealed. The Florida Evidence Code, Section 90.104(1)(b), Florida Statutes, provides:
(1) A court may predicate error, set aside or reverse a judgment, or grant a new trial on the basis of admitted or excluded evidence when a substantial right of the party is adversely affected and:
* * * * * *
(b) When the ruling is one excluding evidence, the substance of the evidence was made known to the court by offer of proof or was apparent from the context within which the questions were asked.
"It is axiomatic that failure to proffer what the excluded evidence would have revealed precludes appellate consideration of the alleged error." A.McD. v. State, 422 So.2d 336, 337 Fla. 3d DCA 1982) (citations omitted). Although we assume that the testimony would have been favorable to the defendant, we cannot speculate as to what that testimony would have been. See A.McD., 422 So.2d at 336. ("The bare question, `Have you ever been subject to any disciplinary investigations?' provides no insight as to its relevancy."); Woodson *439 v. State, 483 So.2d 858, 859 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986) ("The witness' response was not `apparent' from the context of the question.")
The absence of proffer in the present case precludes our review of the alleged error. Because Fernandez does not contend that the answers sought from Officer Vermillion were also inherent in the questions asked, the absence of proffer precludes our review of that alleged error as well.

>Will smartphones be able to include much larger sensors in the future?
Perhaps, like Nokia pureview did - however that phone is slightly larger than
the average smartphone.
>Is there some new physics that obviates the need for a large sensor?
No, but technology will advance so that small sensors will be sufficiently
good to 99% of consumers. There's progress in sensor technology ever year.
There's also progress on the processor side, which has been/is apparently a

Literature review provided no references of human amniotic membrane used as a biologic dressing to aid reconstruction of the nose. Evidence demonstrating efficacy in epithelialization and pain reduction along with anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring properties pointed to human amniotic membrane as an ideal option for nasal reconstruction \[[@rjw174C6]--[@rjw174C8]\]. This case report presents a patient in which dehydrated human amniotic membrane (EpiFix; MiMedex Group, Inc., Kennesaw, GA) was used to facilitate healing of the lower third of the nose.

A 56-year-old male presented status post assault with human bites to the tip of his nose, left ala, right ear and first digit of his left hand. He denied nasal obstruction and no facial fractures were associated. He denied of consciousness and reported no other trauma. Past medical history was significant for hypertension controlled with Lisinopril, diet and exercise. Patient denied tobacco and illicit drug use but reported occasional alcohol use. Physical exam revealed a well-developed, well-nourished adult Caucasian male in no acute distress. There was a 22 × 18 mm full thickness skin and subcutaneous tissue defect present on the nasal tip. The columella and left ala were similarly involved. The perichondrium and nasal cartilage remained intact and undamaged. Nasopharyngoscopy with a zero degree nasopharyngoscope revealed a slight right septal deviation without evidence of intranasal trauma, discharge or mucosal bleeding. Involvement of the patient\'s right auricular pinna was very superficial and treatment was deferred. No facial lacerations, bony abnormalities or palpatory tenderness was appreciated. Facial weakness and neurologic deficits were also no appreciated. Bilateral involvement of the hands and upper extremities also appeared very superficial and treatment was deferred.
Debridement of the nasal tip and adjacent structures was performed using standard sterile technique and local anesthesia. The defect measured 25 × 20 mm following debridement and the perichondrium and nasal cartilage was confirmed intact and without evidence of disease or injury. Dehydrated human amniotic membrane was fashioned to the dimensions of the defect and affixed to the wound. The allograft did not overly the native integument. Suture fixation was deferred.

The preamble of the IEEE 802.11 data packet is used by the receiver to initiate spreading code synchronization is always transmitted as the DBPSK wave form. This permits all receivers to identify the transmitted waveform and, if the receiver is capable, switch to a higher rate mode of operation for interaction a particular WLAN device. The header of an IEEE 802.11 data packet which includes a cyclic redundancy check code, a packet payload transmission rate indicator, and payload length signal may be transmitted as either a DBPSK or DQPSK waveform.
To achieve higher data rates, the IEEE 802.11b revision adopts Complementary Code Keying (CCK) to replace the 11-chip Barker sequence for modulating data packet payloads. Complementary codes or binary, complementary sequences are polyphase codes comprising a pair of equal finite length sequences having the property that the number of pairs of like elements with any given separation in one series is equal to the number of pairs of unlike elements with the same separation in the second series. As a set, these code sequences have unique mathematical properties that facilitate distinguishing between code words at the receiver even in the presence of substantial noise and multipath interference. For an 11 Mbits/s data rate the information data stream is divided into eight bit segments. The values of six of the data bits are used to generate one of 64 unique subcodes. The values of the two remaining data bits are used to select one of the DQPSK phases for rotating the selected subcode producing 256 possible codewords for transmission. Systems operating in the 5.5 Mbits/s mode use two data bits to generate one of four subcodes and two bits are used to select one of the four DQPSK phases. With a symbol rate of 1.375 Msymbols/s, an eight chip spreading code, and a chipping rate of 11 MHz the high data rate waveform occupies approximately the same bandwidth as that of the 2 Mbits/s DQPSK waveform of the lower rate systems. As a result, the ISM band is sufficiently wide for three non-overlapping higher data rate channels promoting interoperability of the lower and higher data rate systems.
In a receiver, the “as received” analog signal is converted to a digital signal and correlation is used to strip the PN or spreading code from the digital signal. In the CCK modes utilized by the higher data rate systems, a bank of correlators followed by a largest correlation value detector is used to detect the modulation. The CCK codewords | uspto_backgrounds |
JavaOS is an operating system with a Java virtual machine as a fundamental component, originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Unlike Windows, Mac OS, Unix, or Unix-like systems which are primarily written in the C programming language, JavaOS is primarily written in Java. It is now considered a legacy system.
History
The Java programming language was introduced by Sun in May 1995. Across the following six months, the Java platform and its ideas propagated through the world. Jim Mitchell and Peter Madany at JavaSoft designed a new operating system, codenamed Kona, written completely in Java. In March 1996, Tom Saulpaugh joined the now seven person Kona team to design an I/O architecture, having come from Apple as Mac OS engineer since June 1985 and co-architect of Copland.
JavaOS was first evangelized in a Byte article. In 1996, JavaSoft's official product announcement described the compact OS designed to run "in anything from net computers to pagers". In early 1997, JavaSoft transferred JavaOS to SunSoft. In late 1997, Bob Rodriguez led the team to collaborate with IBM who then marketed the platform, accelerated development, and made significant key architectural contributions to the next release of JavaOS, eventually renamed JavaOS for Business. IBM indicated its focus was more on network computer thin clients, specifically to replace traditional "green screen" and UNIX terminals, and to implement single application clients. The Chorus distributed real-time operating system was purchased for its microkernel technology.
JavaSoft has granted licenses to more than 25 manufacturers, including Oracle Corp, Acer Inc., Xerox, Toshiba Corp, and Nokia. IBM and Sun announced the cooperation for JavaOS for Business at the end of March 1998.
In 1999, Sun and IBM announced the discontinuation of the JavaOS product. As early as 2003, Sun materials referred to JavaOS as a "legacy technology", recommending migration to Java ME, leaving the choice of specific OS and Java environment to the implementer.
Overview
JavaOS is based on a hardware architecture native microkernel, running on platforms including ARM, PowerPC, SPARC, StrongARM, and IA-32 (x86). The Java virtual machine runs on top of the microkernel. All device drivers are written in Java and executed by the virtual machine. A graphics and windowing system implementing the AWT API is also written in Java.

Limit theorem {#sec:limit_th}
=============
In this section, we present a limit theorem of the QW as $t\to\infty$ by using the Fourier analysis which is one of the standard methods to derive limit theorems of the QWs [@Konno2010; @Machida2011; @InuiKonnoSegawa2005; @InuiKonno2005; @SegawaKonno2008; @KonnoMachida2010; @ChisakiKonnoSegawaShikano2011; @GrimmettJansonScudo2004]. The long-time limit theorem plays an essential role to draw asymptotic behavior of the QW after many steps. The time evolution of the QW provides the Fourier transform $\ket{\hat{\Psi}_{t}(k)}=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{Z}} e^{-ikx}\ket{\psi_t(x)}\,(k\in\left[-\pi,\pi\right))$, the relation $\ket{\hat{\Psi}_{t+1}(k)}= \hat U(k)\ket{\hat{\Psi}_{t}(k)}=\hat U(k)^t \ket{\hat\Psi_{0}(k)}$ , where $\hat U(k)=(e^{ik}\ket{0}\bra{0}+e^{-ik}\ket{1}\bra{1})U$. After straightforward calculation by the Fourier analysis, for $r=0,1,2,\ldots$, we get $$\begin{aligned}
\lim_{t\to\infty}\mathbb{E}\biggl[\biggl(\frac{X_t}{t}\biggr)^r\biggr]=&\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{dk}{2\pi} h(k)^r\,\biggl[\biggl\{\left|\braket{v(k)|\hat\Psi_0(k)}\right|^2+\left|\braket{v(-k)|\hat\Psi_0(-k)}\right|^2\biggr\}\nonumber\\

NU said it expects that 40 of its affected IT employees will be rehired by the outsourcers "and will still work at NU facilities."
In response to their lobbying efforts, several Connecticut legislators in 2003 introduced a series of bills to limit H-1B visa use, arguing that it was being used to transfer jobs overseas. The efforts were unsuccessful and eventually the Connecticut organization that fought visa use disbanded.
Utility jobs had been considered among the more stable in Connecticut, at least until NU merged last year with Boston-based utility NStar.
Company officials at the time told regulators and lawmakers that the merger would lead to savings. Once word leaked out last month that NU was considering offshore outsourcing in its IT department, state lawmakers responded.
"Shipping these good-paying jobs away will not just hurt Connecticut's economy, but it could also pose a serious security threat," said State Rep. Joe Aresimowicz, a Democrat and House majority leader, in a statement last week.
Connecticut's unemployment rate is at 8.1%, the 35th highest in the nation, and the state's labor pool has seen a slight decline in size this year.
In a statement today, NU said: "We spent a great deal of time over the last year studying our combined, post-merger IT department and determined we had two very distinct business models - neither of which was best practice when compared with current IT models. In order to meet customer expectations and deliver the latest IT solutions, we have designed one integrated, forward-looking, technology-savvy organization."
NU said the transition will begin in November and will last through June of 2014. The utility is offering employees a voluntary separation package.
John Miano, a programmer and attorney who founded the Programmers Guild, said that when he started following IT offshoring in mid-1990s, "most of the (news) coverage was over incidents like this (NU's move) and there was shock."
Now, most of the H-1B news coverage is about how bringing in more H-1B workers will create jobs, said Miano.
"The sad thing is these companies don't save any money doing this," said Miano. "The problem is there is no management consulting dollars for telling people the risks and why nots of offshoring."

RIDGE, District Judge.
On reconsideration of a Division No. 5 order favorable to petitioners' application for a certificate of convenience and necessity as a contract motor carrier, the Interstate Commerce Commission (two members dissenting and one member not participating) found "that applicants (petitioners) * * * have failed to show that the proposed operation will be consistent with the public interest and the national transportation policy, and that the application should be denied." Petitioners brought the instant review action to annul, set aside and enjoin said order. We have jurisdiction in the premises by virtue of Sections 1336, 1398, 2284, and 2321-2325, Title 28, U.S.C.A.
In their complaint, petitioners allege that the report and order of the I.C.C. so entered is unjust, arbitrary, unreasonable and without any basis in fact or law, in that the I.C.C. erroneously (a) considered a certificate of convenience and necessity of Frozen Food Express, a protesting motor carrier in the proceeding, which was issued subsequent to the date of filing of petitioners' *818 application with the Commission; (b) considered the operating authority of Frozen Food Express and Refrigerated Transport, Inc., when said carriers did not petition for reconsideration of the Division No. 5 order; (c) considered the operating authority of Refrigerated Transport a protesting motor carrier which was not placed in the record; (d) and the operations of Refrigerated Transport thereunder when that motor carrier submitted no evidence as to its fitness, operations and equipment, to reasonably provide the supporting shipper with adequate motor carrier service; (e) considered a trip-lease arrangement of Frozen Food and Refrigerated Transport when the agreement relating thereto was not in the record before the Commission; (f) and was in fact shown to be an illegal operation by said motor carriers; (g) in incorrectly interpreting and construing the scope of operating authority of Frozen Food as a common carrier; (h) and failed to consider petitioners' challenge of the Examiner's qualifications that heard and granted the application of Frozen Food for such authority; (i and j) considered rail service as being direct and adequate to meet the particular needs of the supporting shipper when no evidence was offered by rail protestants and connecting rail carriers in respect to their willingness and ability to meet the particular needs of such shipper; and (k) in not finding as matter of law that the supporting shipper | freelaw |
1) How often are changes made to these CSS files? It seems to me that caching
would be far more crucial than any marginal benefit of this practice. Also,
what of allowing multiple CSS files to download in parallel via multiple
<link> tags?
[nitpicking from here out]
2) Why does his minify code remove all whitespace and then remove whitespace
before '{' and after ':'? They're already gone.
3) Removing all whitespace makes the assumption that no whitespace is
necessary. This will completely break, among other things, font-family: "Some
Embedded Font";

They've been going out a week; I mean, that's not (a) serious (relationship).
I wondered if she was speaking correctly, which is presumable, since she was a native American English speaker. But more often I here the for when people talk about duration. So is it also possible to leave out for? Maybe only in the informal register?
EDIT: There was a heavy stress on the word week. Does it play a role in this matter?
EDIT#2: ... OK. It's more suitable as an answer.
A:
Short answer: I would say that for can be omitted, but everyone may not agree with me. Its felicity may depend on context.
My answer focuses on the question you overheard, but my comments apply also to the question in your title ('I've been doing this (for) a week').
As a native speaker (AmE), I tend to think that whether for is necessary depends on the construction, context, and current usage, as well of course on the speaker's dialect or idiolect.
I certainly would rarely say
[Can you] wait for a second/a minute, I need to tie my shoe.
I would omit for in the sentence above. This is true whether I express it as an imperative (not using can you) or a question. Ngrams seems to back me up on this:
A search using second in both phrases returns a flat line (comparatively zero results) for the expression with for.
Another construction where the omission of for seems well suited is
I'm gone ten minutes/two days and (come back) and this is what happens?
Again, a short(er) period of time seems to work better here.
Thus
They've been going out a week and this is what happens?
seems fine.
As for the original sentence
They've been going out a week; I mean, that's not (a) serious (relationship),
in general, it might sound better with some qualifier such as only or now:
They've been going out a week now; I mean, that's not (a) serious (relationship).

As illustrated in the timing chart shown in FIG. 1, for example, in shading correction performed during the non-stop DF operation in accordance with the known technique described above, an instruction to perform a carriage operation is issued after the setting of a carriage driving operation and the setting of a reading operation for shading correction are performed after a time point t1 at which the reading operation of a previous document is completed. That is, the image reading device receives a reading preparation request from a controller (D1), sends a memory request to the controller (D2), and receives a memory access permission notification from the controller (D3). Thereafter, at the time point t1 at which the reading operation of the previous document is completed, the image reading device starts a pre-reading DF shading correction. Then, at a time point t2 at which the pre-reading DF shading correction is completed, the image reading device starts the reading operation of the next document. Further, at a time point t3 at which the next document is moved outside an image effective range, the image reading device completes the reading operation. According to the timing illustrated in FIG. 1, the sheet feeding operation of the next document starts after the completion of the reading operation of the previous document and before the completion of the sheet feeding operation of the previous document in the DF reading operation. Further, the DF document feeding operation is completed when the sheet feeding operation of the next document is completed.
According to the above-described timing, the time TD between the previous document and the next document in the non-stop successive sheet feeding operation corresponds to the sum of a processing time Ts of the DF shading correction and a preparation time Tp for the DF shading correction, and represents a pre-reading DF shading correction time. The time TD is represented as the following equation:TD=Tp+Ts (1)The time TD is also represented as the following equation:TD=t2−t1 (2)
It is to be noted that productivity is determined by the processing time, that is, the shorter the processing time the greater the productivity. However, the way in which known apparatuses including that described above operate makes it difficult to reduce the processing time and improve the productivity, for reasons which are discussed in greater detail below.
FIG. 2 is a detailed timing chart illustrating the above-described time TD. As can be observed from the drawing, the preparation time Tp for the DF shading correction corresponds to the sum | uspto_backgrounds |
History and impact
People Water builds wells and provides clean water for people in countries such as Nicaragua, India, Ghana, and Haiti. The company's first project was based in Nicaragua in a village called Taquezal where they repaired and built wells. After the success of their first mission, the company went onto multiple cities and villages in the other countries listed above. There were two projects completed across the country of Ghana, Africa that affected 750 people. The Haiti well project, finished on September 20, 2012, directly affected 7,150 people. In April 2012 People Water named Ken Bretschneider, an entrepreneur and business executive, the new CEO in hope to bring in stronger leadership and expand the company. More recently People Water has done fundraising in attempt to provide typhoon victims in the Philippines with clean water.
The bottle
People Water emphasizes the structure and design of their bottles. What they call "The Anatomy of the Bottle" has nine main components. The first and second components can be found at the very top of the bottle. First, is the screw on cap and the second is the thumbprint that is placed on the top of the cap. People Water says that the thumbprint is there to represent humanity and show each person as an individual. Components three through seven can all be found on the body of the bottle. The third of these is the “Drop for Drop” slogan printed around the top of each bottle. Fourth, is replacing the “O” in the word bottle with recycling logo reminding drinkers to recycle their bottle. The fifth component is a QR Code that the customer can scan with a smart phone. Upon scanning the customer can see which project they are helping to fund. Sixth is making a bottle that is eco-friendly and seventh is simply putting the company name “People” on the bottle. The last two components actually have to do with the water itself. Eighth, People Water states that they only use 100% natural spring water. The final component is that the water remains Bisphenol A (BPA) free. The bottles come in two different sizes, and a .
Marketing
Much of the marketing includes the use of social media. People Water can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Many videos have been taken of various projects and placed on the People Water website for viewing. Also, People Water was voted and chosen to be the official bottled water for the 2014 People's Choice Awards.

Stellar clusters are known as good ‘laboratories’ for studying member stars. By fitting isochrones, one can obtain distance, age and sometimes get information on metallicity of a cluster. Our project is focused on finding open clusters rich in pulsating B-type stars and subsequent seismic modeling of their members by means of ensemble asteroseismology (hereafter EnsA). EnsA takes advantage of the common parameters of the members of a cluster (e.g. age and metallicity) to put additional constraints on seismic models of member stars. It is applicable to open clusters rich in massive pulsating stars. The most promising are $\beta$ Cep stars for which many interesting results were already obtained by means of seismic modeling [e.g. @Aerts2003; @Pam2004; @Dup2004; @Dasz2010]. One of the best candidates for application of EnsA is NGC6910 [@Kol2004], for which pulsation parameters were obtained as a result of the international observational campaign [@Pig2008; @Sae2010]. In the era of nano-satellites, new possibilities of seismic studies of stars belonging to bright, nearby star clusters occured. An example is $\alpha$ Per open cluster.
![Variable stars in the color-magnitude diagram of IC4996.[]{data-label="VarCMD"}](fig1-VarCMD){width="9cm"}
New observations and results
============================
The results of the observations of NGC457 and preliminary results of the search for variable stars in IC1805 were published by [@Moz2014] and [@Moz2012], respectively. Recently, we performed also search for variable stars in another young open cluster, IC4996. Observations of IC4996 were made between 2007 and 2014 in Bia[ł]{}ków Observatory (Poland) during 50 observing nights. The observations were carried out with a 60-cm reflecting telescope with the attached CCD camera covering $13^\prime\times12^\prime$ field of view. About 7500 CCD frames were acquired through the $B$, $V$, $R$, $I_{\rm C}$ and narrow-band H$\alpha$ filters. We detected 81 variable stars (Fig. \[VarCMD\]), of which 71 are new. One new $\beta$ Cep star was found.
In total, in three open clusters (NGC457, IC1805, and IC4996) we have detected 231 variables. Among the most | arxiv |

There certainly seemed to be Wednesday as students from the hosting Piñon Unified School District swept six of the 10 positions at the Chinle Agency Spelling Bee to qualify for the Navajo Nation Spelling Bee on March 13.
Eighth-grade champion Catherine Lopez and runner-up Raquel Tom were from Piñon Middle School and Piñon Accelerated Middle School, respectively; seventh-grade champ Nykesha Nez was from Piñon Middle; and both the fifth- and fourth-grade champions, Chenoa Begaye and Latisha Mike, hailed from Piñon Elementary as did fourth-grade runner up Nigel James.
Only the sixth-grade match, won by Cameron Fuller (home-schooled) with Cina Curley (Canyon de Chelly Elementary) as the runner-up, did not include a top finisher from Piñon.
Chinle Elementary claimed the fifth-grade runner-up, Casey Jones, while the seventh-grade runner-up, Mikail Morgan, was from Chinle Junior High School.
Even Piñon's elementary school sponsor, library technician Presilita Bia, was hard-pressed to explain her team's success.
"It's only my second year as a sponsor, and these kids have only had a week and a half to study," she said, explaining that she was out sick most of December. "I gave some of them a word list, but they lost it."
advertisements
She did say the kids had good luck with words — a lot of the words used in Wednesday's bee had come up at the school's spelling bee as well.
The bee also featured Chinle Agency's first home-schooled winner, Fuller, who was a force to be reckoned with last year, when she represented Mesa View Elementary and won the lower-grades round of the Navajo Nation bee.
It was fortunate her parents, Greg and Regina Fuller, had pulled her out to home-school her this year, or she wouldn't have been able to compete; Mesa View didn't field a team this year.
Greg Fuller said he and his wife, a nurse at Chinle's IHS hospital, were somewhat at a loss helping their precocious daughter study for the bee.
"We couldn't find anyone who had entered a home-schooled child in the spelling bee," said Greg Fuller, a stay-at | pile-cc |

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MERARDO ALCARAZ-DIAZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. EP-02-CR-1690-ALL
--------------------
Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Merardo Alcaraz-Diaz appeals the sentence imposed following
his guilty plea conviction of being found in the United States
after deportation/removal in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326.
Alcaraz contends that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)
define separate offenses. He argues that the prior conviction
that resulted in his increased sentence is an element of a
separate offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) that should have been
alleged in his indictment. Alcaraz maintains that he pleaded
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 03-50103
-2-
guilty to an indictment which charged only simple reentry under
8 U.S.C. § 1326(a). He argues that his sentence exceeds the
two-year maximum term of imprisonment which may be imposed for
that offense.
In Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235
(1998), the Supreme Court held that the enhanced penalties in
8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) are sentencing provisions, not elements of
separate offenses. The Court further held that the sentencing
provisions do not violate the Due Process Clause. Id. at 239-47.
Alcaraz acknowledges that his argument is foreclosed by
Almendarez-Torres, but asserts that the decision has been cast
into doubt by Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U | freelaw |

I propose to investigate the role of calcium and cyclic nucleotides in the physiology of the vertebrate rod photoreceptor. It is well established that these substances are involved in generating the rod's electrical response to light. However, the difficulty of observing the light regulation of calcium and cyclic GMP in the intact rod has precluded a clear understanding of their functional roles. I will address this problem by measuring light evoked changes in extracellular calcium concentration in the space surrounding the rod outer segments, utilizing a planar calcium-sensitive membrane electrode | nih_exporter |

So far, we have analysed the *co-occurrence* of financial institutions in the set of the 25 best ranked institutions, weighted by their ranks. These ranks were based on their activities, i.e., *total derivatives*. As a result, we could reconstruct the weighted network of counterparty risk which also reflects the importance of the nodes. This network was reconstructed (a) on a time resolution of one quarter year, to show the dynamics of the network (Fig D in [S1 Appendix](#pone.0136638.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"}), and (b) on the time aggregated level ([Fig 8](#pone.0136638.g008){ref-type="fig"}).
To further analyse the mutual dependence between the best ranked institutions, we now calculate different correlations. The network of counterparty risk has revealed how the co-occurrence changes over time. But will the OTC derivatives of institution *i* increase, or decrease, if the same measure of institution *j* increases? Answering this question allows some more refined conclusions about the dependence between these institutions.
The simplest measure is the *Pearson correlation coefficient* *ρ*, which points to a *linear* dependence between two variables. As explained above, for each institution *i* we have a dataset **a** ~*i*~ = {*a* ~*i*~(1), *a* ~*i*~(2), ..., *a* ~*i*~(*T*)} available which contains up to *T* entries about its quarterly activity *a* ~*i*~(*t*) measured by means of its total derivatives. We recall that some of these entries are zero whenever institution *i* was not listed among the best 25 ranked. Let us define the mean value and the standard deviation of each of these samples as: $${\overline{a}}_{i} = \frac{1}{T}\sum\limits_{t = 1}^{T}a_{i}\left( t \right)\;; s_{i}^{a} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{T - 1}\sum_{t = 1}^{T}\left\lbrack a_{i}\left( t \right) - {\overline{a}}_{i} \right\rbrack^{2}}.$$ The Pearson correlation coefficient with respect to the variable *a* is then defined as $$\rho_{ij}^{a} = \frac{1}{T - 1}\sum\limits_{t = 1}^{T}\mspace{180 | pubmed_central |

Amlodipine fumarates and particularly amlodipine hemifumarate may exist in a solvent-free form or it may be isolated as a hydrate or a solvate. The hydrates and solvates of amlodipine fumarate, especially hydrates or solvates of amlodipine hemifumarate, form another aspect of the invention.
Amlodipine fumarate may be characterised by a variety of ordinary methods such as IR spectrum, m.p., DSC curve, etc. The structure and amlodipine/fumaric acid ratio may be proven by measuring 1H-NMR spectrum and/or by titration methods.
Amlodipine fumarate is converted to amlodipine free base in vivo and thus it basically shares the pharmaceutical activity of amlodipine. Accordingly, the compound may be used as a suitable form of amlodipine for administration of amlodipine into a patient in need thereof. Particularly, due to its limited solubility in body fluids, amlodipine hemifumarate is the advantageous salt form of amlodipine, especially for manufacturing slow or modified release final forms, but the use thereof is not limited thereto.
Amlodipine fumarate is a useful calcium channel blocker and thus can be used to treat any cardiac condition that would be benefited by administration of a calcium channel blocker. In particular, the amlodipine fumarate can be used to treat or prevent hypertension or angina by administering an effective amount to a patient in need thereof. The specific form of angina is not particularly limited and specifically includes chronic stable angina pectoris and vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal""s angina). The compound can be administered by any suitable route including orally or parenterally. The xe2x80x9cpatientsxe2x80x9d intended to be treated include human and non-human animals especially humans and non-human mammals.
The compound is usually administered as part of a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, a further aspect of the invention is a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing hypertension or angina that comprises an effective amount of amlodipine fumarate and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Excipients include any inert or non-active material used in making a pharmaceutical dosage form. For example, tablet excipients include, but are not limited to, calcium phosphate, cellulose, starch or | uspto_backgrounds |
Chinchpada is a panchayat village located in Nashik division of the Kandesh region of Maharashtra state in India. The village used to be called Bodhgaon. Administratively, Chinchpada is under Navapur Taluka, Nandurbar District, Maharashtra. There is only the single village of Chinchpada in the Chinchpada gram panchayat.
It is located on National Highway 6, running from Hazira (near Surat) in Gujarat to Kolkota, West Bengal. It is about 100 km from Dhule and about 120 km from Surat.
Infrastructure
Chinchpada is a pleasant place lined by hills on one side.
Chinchpada is famous for the Chinchpada Christian Hospital, which is governed by the Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA), New Delhi. The Hospital was established in 1942 as a small clinic, and later it was upgraded to a 15-bed hospital that continues to provide healthcare services to the predominantly tribal population in the surrounding villages. It was incorporated into EHA in 1974. The hospital, known for its low cost quality health care, currently has 50 beds and attracts a lot of patients referred there for surgeries, medicine, cancer treatment, palliative care, and maternity services. The hospital has a 4-bed fully equipped ICU and 24/7 quality nursing care under trained and experienced doctors.
Chinchpada is also well known for its railway station, which was constructed by the British government during the colonial era. The rail lines connect Surat to Bhusawal, two of India's big railway junctions.
Culture
The majority of the village's population is engaged in the educational services sector.
'Unity in Diversity' can seen in this town, as Marathi, Marwari, Gujarati, Adivasi, and Sikh communities live here with love and peace.
Educational Facility
Four high-schools and one Junior College provide educational facilities to the community.

A direct experimental determination of the phase-space density $d=
\langle n \rangle/(2R\Delta)^3$ in high energy collisions is not easy. The sources created in such collisions feature strong collective expansion [@Pratt95; @He96], and therefore only small fractions of the total collision region (so-called regions of homogeneity) contribute effectively to the two-particle correlator [@He96]. This means that in the parametrization (\[21\]) we should use $R^2 = R_{\rm hom}^2 + 1/(4\Delta^2)$ where $R_{\rm hom}$ is the (pair momentum dependent) homogeneity radius which, in the absence of strong multi-pion effects, is equal to the HBT radius parameter $R_{\rm
HBT}$. Without more detailed model studies it is then, however, unclear what fraction of the total observed multiplicity $\langle n
\rangle$ comes from a single such homogeneity region.
On the other hand Fig. 3 suggests that, within our model class of event ensembles, the ratio ${\langle n\rangle^2 \over \langle
n(n-1)\rangle}$ is a useful indicator for the average phase-space density $d$ in the source and thereby also for the expected multi-pion symmetrization effects on the 1- and 2-particle spectra which need to be taken into account in an extraction of the source size from HBT measurements.
In the experiment one usually fits the two-particle correlator with the functional form $$C^{\rm exp}(\bbox{p}_1,\bbox{p}_2) =
C^{\rm exp}(\bbox{q,K}) =
{\cal N} \left( 1{+}\lambda |f(\bbox{q,K})|^2\right) ,$$ where the function $f$ vanishes as $\bbox{q}\to \infty$. Obviously, ${\cal N}$ depends on the chosen definition of the correlation function: For the definition (\[I\]) the normalization is always ${\cal N}^{I}=1$ (see Eq. (\[17\])), while for the definition (\[II\]) it is ${\cal N}^{II} = {\langle n\rangle^2 \over \langle
n(n-1)\rangle}$ (see Eq. (\[18\])). But in both cases ${\cal N}$ is well-defined and thus should not be treated as a free | arxiv |

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of ArkansasBefore LOKEN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
1
Four Arkansas inmates appeal the district court's dismissal without prejudice of their 42 U.S.C. 1983 action filed against various prison officials challenging various conditions of their confinement. The district court1 dismissed the suit under 42 U.S.C. 1997e(a) for failure to exhaust available prison administrative remedies. In their pro se brief on appeal, plaintiffs admit "that they made a mistake in prematurely filing their lawsuit," but argue that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing the suit without prejudice because their prison grievances were in process when the suit was filed, and some grievances were administratively denied before the district court ruled.
2
Section 1997e(a) provides that "[n]o action shall be brought with respect to prison conditions under [ 1983] by a prisoner confined in any jail, prison, or other correctional facility until such administrative remedies as are available are exhausted." When multiple prison condition claims have been joined, as in this case, the plain language of 1997e(a) requires that all available prison grievance remedies must be exhausted as to all of the claims. Here, it is apparent that at least some of the plaintiffs' many claims were not fully exhausted at the time the district court dismissed the action without prejudice.
3
Defendants filed a motion requesting an initial hearing en banc to consider whether our decision in Williams v. Norris, 176 F.3d 1089, 1090 (8th Cir. 1999) -- that it is improper to dismiss without prejudice when available prison administrative remedies are exhausted "at the time the [district] court ruled" -- is contrary to the plain language of 1997e(a) ("no action shall be brought"), as construed by a number of our sister circuits. See, e.g., Perez v. Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections, 182 F.3d 532, 534- 35 (7th Cir. 1999); Brown v. Toombs, 139 F.3d 1102, 1104 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 525 U.S. 833 (1998); cf. Underwood v. Wilson, 151 F.3d 292, 296 (5th Cir. 1998), cert. denied, 526 U.S. 1133 (1999). We need not address that issue because it is clear from the record | freelaw |

Why mothball nuke plants when they are not in danger from tsunamis seeing as
how they are miles inland in Southern Germany? Was there a public outcry after
Fukushima? Seems like keeping the nuke plants running locally would obviate
the need for this high euro spend on HVDC as cool and all as the tech sounds.
~~~
claudius
> Was there a public outcry after Fukushima?
Yes. Originally, the social-democrat/green government of 1998-2005 planned to
shut down all nuke plants until 2020 or so, but the conservative/liberal
democrats government that took over in 2009 stopped that, mostly against the
will of the public. After Fukushima, there was such a huge backslash that our
dear chancellor decided it might help her popularity more if she changed her
mind.
And while tsunamis are rather rare in Stuttgart, the upper rhine rift is an
active earthquake zone, and since we unfortunately are not allowed to just
sell the waste to Russia to dump in Siberia, we also have to dispose of it
somewhere in Germany. If you look at a population-density map, you will find
few places with few enough people to accept highly radioactive nuclear waste.
You are right, however, that it is economically somewhat senseless to shut
down the nuke plants basically shortly after the subsidies/initial costs paid
off, but, well.

How is it more senseless than shutting them down any other time before the end
of their useful life? Sunk costs are sunk.
~~~
InclinedPlane
You answer your own question. The amount of useful life they have left that
goes unused is an opportunity cost. The earlier they are shut-down the larger
that cost (which necessarily must be taken up in providing power through some
other means).

The cerebellum, while once considered a brain region principally involved in motor control and coordination, is increasingly becoming associated with a range of neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric presentations. This paper reviews the dominant neuropsychological domains and neuropsychiatric conditions for which cerebellar involvement has been demonstrated, including visuospatial functioning, learning and memory, language, executive functioning, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, and schizophrenia. The paper concludes with a discussion of a potential neuropsychological localization model within the cerebellum | pubmed_abstracts |
Case report
===========
Early on October 2014, a 45-year-old woman was presented at our outpatient gynecology clinic with sudden lower pelvic discomfort and vaginal bleeding symptoms. The patient had a history of hysterectomy 13 months ago due to symptomatic multiple leiomyomas and adenomyosis.
The previous surgery was conducted as a single-port approach laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy in July 2013. Surgical findings showed an enlarged uterus of about a 14 weeks gestational age size. Both adnexa were grossly normal in appearance and the peritoneum was clear with no signs of endometriosis. The vaginal vault was sutured vaginally using a 1-0 vicryl. No complications were observed during the postoperative period and the patient was discharged as scheduled. The histology of the uterus was confirmed as adenomyosis with leiomyoma with a secretory phase endometrium. Follow up examinations at 3 and 6 months showed no complications and thus no additional follow-ups were required afterwards.
However on October 2014, after more than a year from her last check up, the patient appeared at our clinic complaining of sudden pelvic discomfort and vaginal bleeding symptoms. Pelvic examinations showed no signs of active bleeding. Yet, a dark wine colored papule suggestive of a small hematoma or ulcerative lesion was observed upon the previous operative vaginal vault site ([Fig. 1.](#F1){ref-type="fig"}).
Her vitals were stable and she showed no signs of fever. The pain was tolerable during manipulation of the vault site. The ulcerative lesion was suspected as an old hematoma or granulation formation of the previous hysterectomy vault or possibly due to an unknown malignancy or cancerous change.
For further investigation, a quick excision biopsy using sharp scissors was performed under local anesthesia at the outpatient operation room. Bleeding control was done with sutures and tampon gauzes were inserted intravaginally. Nevertheless, the patient returned to the clinic within a few hours with excessive bleeding. Upon re-examination, active bleeding was visible at the vault site, and additional maneuvers including sutures were performed for hemostasis.
The pathology reports showed normal vaginal tissue with non-specific loss of surface epithelium and subepithelial hemorrhage. The diagnosis was uncertain but any kind of malignancy could be ruled out.
Ten days later, the patient revisited our clinic with another incidence of massive vaginal bleeding with large clots. She looked pale and anemic in general with vital signs showing an increased pulse with a decreased blood | pubmed_central |

Maybe some parts of this code seems a little strange because I removed some of my types to not add extra pointless code.
Anyway the error come from the mapDispatchToProps, it seems like it's ok with a single fat arrow but when I start to chain them I get this error (even if they return an object).
A:
As the error mentioned actions must be plain objects but when you chain the functions, you are actually passing a function (the next one on the chain) and not an object.
The problem here for you is that you want to pass an extra argument in addition to the actual DOM event, like the name of the input, i.e: "password", "user" etc...
Then why not just give the input a name and grab it in the action creator function (same as you do with the value attribute).
Your form can look something like this:
const Form = ({ inputChange, form }) => (
<div>
<input name="user" onChange={inputChange} type="text" value={form.user} />
<input name="password" onChange={inputChange} type="password" value={form.password} />
</div>
);
const mapState = state => ({
form: state
});
const mapDispatch = {
inputChange
};
const ConnectedForm = connect(
mapState,

)(Form);
And inside your action creator:
const inputChange = ({ target }) => ({
type: INPUT_CHANGE,
payload: {
value: target.value,
inputName: target.name
}
});
and your reducer can handle it, something like this:
const reducer = (state = {user: '', password: ''}, action) => {
switch (action.type) {

The invention further relates to an optical receiver, clock recovery means and a non-linear optical element.
Such a transmission system is known from the article xe2x80x9c10 Gbit/s all-optical regeneratorxe2x80x9d by W. A. Pender et. al. in Electronics Letters 31st August 1995, Vol. 31, No. 18. pp. 1587-1588.
The transmission rate of optical transmission systems is increasing rapidly, due to improvements of optical components such as lasers, modulators, multiplexers and demultiplexers. The transmission rate approaches the limit of capabilities of the used electrical components such as photo detectors and modulators. To overcome this limitations there is a trend to use time division multiplex in which a plurality of optical signals with a bitrate of e.g. 10 Gbit/s are multiplexed into an optical signal with a higher bitrate e.g. 40 Gbit/s. This multiplexing can completely be performed by optical means.
In the receiver the received optical signal has to be demultiplexed by optical means because using electrical components for handling such a high bitrate signal is very difficult. Such optical demultiplexing requires the availability of an optical clock signal. Because this clock signal has to be synchronized to the received input signal, the receiver comprises clock recovery means to extract the required optical clock signal from the received signal. In the optical transmission system according to the above mentioned article, clock recovery means using only optical components are used.
The clock recovery system according to the above mentioned article is based on mode locking of a ring-laser in which the received optical signal is injected. A ring laser comprises an optical amplifying device having its output coupled to its input by means of a feedback loop. Mode locking is a phenomenon that results in the generation of optical pulses having a repetition rate which is a multiple of the reciprocal of the round trip delay of the combination of amplifier and feedback loop. The phenomenon is caused by non-linear amplitude and phase transfer in the feedback loop. To obtain said non-linear amplitude and phase transfer a non-linear element is present in the feedback loop.
In the transmission system according to the above mentioned article the non-linear element comprises 1 km dispersion shifted fiber followed by a polarizer. A first non-linear effect comprises a change of the polarization state in dependence of the amplitude of the optical signal in the 1 km dispersion shifted fiber. A second non-linear effect is a phase shift | uspto_backgrounds |
Rosie Vanier
Rosie Vanier is a British singer and keyboard player from Cornwall. She was a founding member and the front woman of Rosie and the Goldbug; following the break-up of the band in 2009, she embarked on a solo career, and went on to form the trio Lightknife in 2014.
Life and career
Vanier grew up in Bodmin Moor "on a plot of land with no electricity, no heat, no TV, just a piano". Her mother and part-Native American father used to go on cycle tours in Europe, playing folk ballads along the way to entertain passers-by. She studied music at Roehampton University, and then returned home to Cornwall to form Rosie and the Goldbug in 2007, with bass player Lee "Pixie" Matthews and drummer Sarah "Plums" Morgan. Rosie and the Goldbug soon built up a reputation as a live band in Cornwall and started to attract wider attention. They toured Europe with Cyndi Lauper for most of 2008.
The band released an eponymous album on their manager's label, Lover Records, produced by Jim Eliot of electropop duo Kish Mauve; Vanier entered into writing partnerships with Marcella Detroit and Glaswegian band El Presidente for several songs on the record. In August 2009, Vanier announced via the band's MySpace site that "Rosie and the Goldbug are over". Vanier then embarked on a solo career, under the management of Fachtna O'Ceallaigh, who has worked with Sinéad O'Connor, U2 and the Boomtown Rats; she completed her debut solo EP, Ep1, in November 2010. Since going solo, she has collaborated with Adam and the Ants guitarist and songwriter Marco Pirroni, who was introduced to her by O'Ceallaigh, writing and recording new tracks together. She released a second EP, Black Cats and Black Stars, in October 2011, with a third, Neon Nightmare, following in early 2012, supported by a solo UK tour; the EP's title track was featured on a Music Week cover-mounted compilation CD in early February.
In early 2013, after some time out recording material in New York City, she was touring again with a band comprising Goldbugs bass player Matthews and drummer Bubs Taylor. Summer 2014 saw the release of the Bad in Love EP, under the band name Lightknife. Summer 2015 saw | wikipedia_en |

#### Realizing set
By computing the [Fréchet distance]{} using the modified Alt and Godau algorithm, we obtain an ordered, potentially non-minimal realizing set $\mathcal{E} = \{ e_1, \ldots, e_l \}$. The algorithm must find an event that is contained in a realizing set. Let $E_{k}$ denote the first $k$ events of $\mathcal{E}$. For now we assume that the events in $\mathcal{E}$ end at different cell boundaries. We use a binary search on $\mathcal{E}$ to find the $r$ such that $E_r$ contains a realizing set, but $E_{r-1}$ does not. This implies that event $e_r$ is contained in a realizing set and can be used to split the curves. Note that $r$ is unique due to monotonicity. For correctness, the order of events in $\mathcal{E}$ must be consistent in different iterations, for example, by using a lexicographic order. Set $E_r$ contains only realizing sets that use $e_r$. Hence, $E_{r-1}$ contains a realizing set to connect cell $(1,1)$ to $e_r$ and $e_r$ to cell $(m,n)$. Thus any event found in subsequent iterations is part of $E_{r-1}$ and of a realizing set with $e_r$.
To determine whether some $E_{k}$ contains a realizing set, we check whether cells $(1,1)$ and $(m,n)$ are connected without “using” the events of $\mathcal{E} \backslash E_{k}$. To do this efficiently, we further modify the Alt and Godau algorithm. We require only a method to prevent events in $\mathcal{E} \backslash E_{k}$ from being used. After $L^R_{i,j}$ is computed, we check whether the event $e$ (if any) that ends at the left boundary of cell $(i,j)$ is part of $\mathcal{E} \backslash E_{k}$ and necessary to obtain $L^R_{i,j}$. If this is the case, we replace $ | arxiv |

Assistant Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Leon Eugene Grayson seeks to appeal the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006)
petition. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice
or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C.
§ 2253(c)(1) (2006). A certificate of appealability will not
issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2006). When the
district court denies relief on the merits, a prisoner satisfies
this standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists would
find that the district court’s assessment of the constitutional
claims is debatable or wrong. Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473,

>There's a hatred of mathematics in mainstream American culture that runs
very, very deep
Completely agreed. As an immigrant, I can say it is very much a US thing.
Haven't seen this much math-hate, but more importantly, math-utilitarianism,
as in the US. In Asian countries & in Europe ( UK, France especially), people
don't constantly fixate on stupid questions like "what is it good for ? ",
which is ultimately a proxy for "how do I make money with this thing ?". But
when I taught math here in the US as a graduate student TA, the majority of
questions focussed on this single metric - usefulness.
So math texts here are forced to invent bogus problems like "You want to house
pigs with 500 feet of fencing. What dimensions of your rectangular pen will
house the most hogs ?". Then the American kid says, Ah! Now I see the point of
all this! Let l be the length of my pen and b its breadth. You want me to
maximize the area of my pen l _b subject to 2l+2b=500 so I can house the most
pigs! Ok so I see that b = 250-l, so l_ b is 250l - l^2, so I take its
derivative & equate to zero & l=125, b=125, and that's the biggest pen that
can house the most pigs. Very nice!
In other countries, you simple wouldn't come up with all these sort of bogus
utilitarian problems in animal husbandry. Students here learn exponentials &
Taylor expansion as part of "how do I compute compound interest on my bank
account", because that's supposedly the only legitimate use of e^x !
I honestly found teaching pre-calc, calc-1 & calc-2 a complete travesty,
because the theorems & the entire courseware was essentially perverted - it
was all in service of how to make use of the math for some bogus application,
rather than learn it for its own good. The worst was when I had to teach how
the horizontal range of parabolic trajectories varied - the textbook had
examples of the US bombing Japan, & the students went to work computing the
best possible angle for firing the missile, so that it would fly across in | hackernews |
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a common and devastating disease which is increasing in incidence. Although easy and inexpensive to detect by ultrasound, most aneurysms are small when detected and there is currently no medical regimen which will inhibit their growth. There is an increasing body of evidence implicating a family of matrix degrading enzymes, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in AAA. Although both MMP-9 and MMP-12 may have a role in AAA, we have identified | nih_exporter |
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) signal through FGF receptors (FGFRs) mediating a broad range of cellular functions during embryonic development, as well as disease and regeneration during adulthood. Thus, it is important to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms that modulate this system. Here, we show that FGFR-1 can interact with the TNF receptor superfamily member fibroblast growth factor-inducible molecule 14 (Fn14) resulting in cardiomyocyte cell cycle reentry.

Genomic DNA was isolated from a fresh culture biomass of Achromobacter sp. B7 grown on tryptic soy agar (TSA) and lysed in EDTA-saline buffer (0.15 M NaCl, 0.01 M EDTA, pH 8.0) with 10 mg ml^−1^ lysozyme for 2 h at 37°C. Genomic DNA was isolated with the Promega Wizard kit and a modified Marmur procedure ([@B5]). DNA was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 system (GATC Biotech, Germany), generating 10,102,770 pair-end reads of 150 bp each and yielding a total of 1,525.5 Mb. Standard genomic library preparation was performed with an optimized protocol, and standard Illumina adapter sequences were used. Sequence reads were trimmed, using Sickle (version 1.33) ([@B6]), with a Phred quality score threshold of 30. A subset of 6,666,666 high-quality paired-end reads with a total of 904,208,607 bp was obtained. Additionally, DNA was sequenced with an Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION instrument. A library was prepared with the ONT rapid barcoding kit (SQK-RBK004). Albacore version 2.1.10 was used for base calling, which yielded a total of 2,260 Mb distributed in 217,643 reads. The subsets of Illumina paired-end reads (904 Mb) and base-called Nanopore reads (2,260 Mb) were used to perform a hybrid assembly, using hybridSPAdes from SPAdes version 3.11.1 ([@B7], [@B8]). The hybrid assembly resulted in a final closed and complete chromosome sequence of 6,236,552 bp with a G+C content of 64.8%.
The B7 genome was annotated with the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) version 4.6 ([@B9]), which identified 5,578 coding sequences and 57 tRNAs.

The present relates to a method and a system of switching-over from a regular communication control processor (hereinafter abbreviated to "CCP") connected to a plurality of host computers to a backup CCP, and particularly relates to a method and a system of automatically switching-over from a regular CCP to a backup CCP in case of failure of the regular CCP.
A system having regular and backup CCPs connected to a plurality of host computers has been disclosed in HITAC manual "Program Product VOS3 Communication Management XNF, Introduction and Practical Use", 8090-3-172, 63-7 (1988), Hitachi, Ltd. One program is stored in both the regular and backup CCPs before a link state is established between the regular CCP and the respective host computers. In case of failure of the regular CCP in the system, all the communication lines connected to the regular CCP are manually switched over to the backup CCP through a line switch. Then, an operator command is issued from the respective host computers to release the link state established between the regular CCP and the respective host computers and establish a new link state between the backup CCP and the respective host computers to thereby perform switching-over for the regular CCP to the backup CCP (Prior Art 1).
On the other hand, a communication system in which dual-system CCPs are connected to each other through health check lines has been disclosed as "Load Distributed Communication Control Processor" in JP-A-6354846. In the system, one CCP monitors the state of the other CCP so that, in case of failure of one CCP, the communication line connected to the failure CCP is connected to the other CCP (Prior Art 2).
Now consider the case where the Prior Art 1 is applied to a communication system having a plurality of host computers operated on the basis of one program and separated into one master host computer and slave host computers, two CCPs of the same hardware construction separated into a regular CCP connected to the respective host computers to be operated on the basis of the program and a backup CCP, and a line switch for collectively switching lines between the two CCPs. In case of failure of the regular CCP, a long time is required for recovery from the failure because operator commands must be issued from all of the host computers connected to the new regular CCP which is changed from a backup CCP into a regular CCP (that is, human thought and operation must be used). | uspto_backgrounds |
According to the Campaign Legal Center, Bopp filed 21 of the 31 lawsuits it associated with challenging campaign finance regulations. All told, Bopp has spent 30 years fighting limits on campaign spending and is credited with changing the political landscape of the 2012 election. According to the Center for Responsive Politics. "It's safe to say that groups on the left and right have Jim Bopp to thank for their new-found freedom."
In an interview with PBS' Frontline in 2012, Bopp said he was defending a "basically absolute" interpretation of the right to political free speech under the First Amendment. He said he is working to eliminate or loosen campaign spending limits, and to eliminate donor-name-reporting requirements.
A study conducted in 2014 showed that Bopp was one of a comparatively small number of lawyers most likely to have their cases heard by the Supreme Court.
Bopp represented a group of plaintiffs, including Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Republicans Overseas, and current and former U.S. citizens living in foreign countries, in a legal challenge to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) filed in 2015. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Crawford v. U.S. Department of Treasury, alleged that a number of provisions of the act unconstitutionally violate privacy rights of U.S. citizens, while burdening both private individuals and the financial institutions that they patronize. In April 2016, U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Rose of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio dismissed the suit for lack of standing.
Republican Party membership and activism
Bopp is known for his staunch social conservatism, and his past and present clients are "a who's who of social conservatism," including the Traditional Values Coalition, the Home School Legal Defense Association, Concerned Women for America, and the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Bopp is particularly known for his opposition to all forms of limits on money in politics and his role as counsel for groups seeking, often successfully, to strike down campaign-finance limitations.
He became Indiana's Republican National Committeeman on the Republican National Committee in 2006, and became the RNC's Vice Chairman in 2008. His tenure on the RNC ended in 2012 when he was defeated for another term by John Hammond at the state Republican convention. Bopp said after the convention that he was defeated because he supported Richard Mourdock over incumbent Richard Lugar for the | wikipedia_en |
Orbital dynamics of double pulsars in SME {#sec:model}
=========================================
When the pure-gravity sector of the minimal SME is considered, it will cause secular evolutions of the orbits of double pulsars. Since timing observations of double pulsars could obtain its value very precisely, the periastron advance plays a much more important role in constraining $\bar{s}^{\mu\nu}$ and, with widely used notations in celestial mechanics, it reads [@Bailey2006] $$\begin{aligned}
\label{domegadtsme}
\bigg<\frac{d\omega}{dt}\bigg>\bigg|_{\mathrm{SME}} & = & -\frac{n}{\tan i (1-e^2)^{1/2}}\bigg[\frac{\varepsilon}{e^2}\bar{s}_{kP}\sin\omega+\frac{(e^2-\varepsilon)}{e^2}\bar{s}_{kQ}\cos\omega-\frac{\delta m}{M}\frac{2na\varepsilon}{e}\bar{s}_k\cos\omega\bigg]\nonumber\\
& & -n\bigg[\frac{(e^2-2\varepsilon)}{2e^4}(\bar{s}_{PP}-\bar{s}_{QQ})+\frac{\delta m}{M}\frac{2na(e^2-\varepsilon)}{e^3(1-e^2)^{1/2}}\bar{s}_Q\bigg],\end{aligned}$$ where $M = m_1+m_2$, $\delta m = m_2-m_1$ ($m_2>m_1$) and $\varepsilon = 1-(1-e^2)^{1/2}$. In this expression, the coefficients $\bar{s}_{\cdot}$ and $\bar{s}_{\cdot\cdot}$ for Lorentz violation with subscripts $P$, $Q$ and $k$ are projections of $\bar{s}^{\mu\nu}$ along the unit vectors $\bm{P}$, $\bm{Q}$ and $\bm{k}$. The unit vector $\bm{k}$ is perpendicular to the orbital plane of the binary pulsars, $\bm{P}$ points from the focus to the periastron, and $\bm{Q}=\bm{k}\times\bm{P}$.

Magic Meatballs are designed to playfully familiarize children with lab-grown meat. Young people are more prone to overconsumption of proteins and fats, and are more sensitive to the hormones and antibiotics used in conventional meat production. Luckily, lab-grown Magic Meatballs can be tailored precisely to a child’s individual needs.
The basic meat consists solely of animal protein, and the combination of fats, omega-3s and vitamins is completely customizable. Colors and flavors can also be added to the neutral base to make the meat change color or crackle in your mouth. Magic Meatballs actively involve kids with the meat they eat, so that future generations will more readily accept protein grown in labs.

As the planet’s population speeds towards 9 billion, it’s becomes impossible to continue consuming meat like we do today. Will we all be eating rice and beans? Grasshoppers perhaps? Scientists hope to keep us eating vertebrate protein with in vitro meat. Grown in bioreactors from animal cells, in vitro meat could be a sustainable and humane alternative to raising a whole animal from birth to slaughter. The first lab-grown hamburger is expected within the next few months.
But why should lab-grown meat look like the meat we consume today? Growing protein in bioreactors could lead to entirely new forms of meat with radically different aesthetics, materials and eating rituals. While these new products might seem unfamiliar and artificial, much of the meat we already consume is divorced from the animal’s natural form: Ground beef, smoked sausages, and chicken nuggets.
A selection of these future in-vitro meat scenarios is currently shown at the highly recommended Food Culture: Eating by Design exhibition at the Design Huis in Eindhoven (NL). As you might not happen to be in the neighborhood, we will also publish them online over the next few weeks. The projects were coached by Menno Stoffelsen, Koert van Mensvoort, Cor van der Weele, Daisy van der Schaft and Ronald van Tienhoven. Illustration by K. Cheng.

Sheriff Brice called Martinez and asked him to meet with Springer at the courthouse for an
interview. Martinez was not informed of hisMiranda rights or his rights under the Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure prior to this interview. During the interview, Martinez told Springer of three
instances of sexual conduct withthe complainant. Thefirst instance Martinez reported occurred at
Martinez's shop. Martinez said the complainant performed oral sex on him. After this admission,
Martinez reported a second instance that occurred when Martinez's family and the complainant's
family were vacationing together. Martinez said the complainant beganto performoral sex on him
but Martinez interrupted and stopped it. Martinez also reported a third instancethat occurred at the
complainant's house. Martinez said the complainant again performed oral sex on him, and
Martinez then penetrated the complainant's anus with his penis. At the end of the interview,
Springer gave Martinez the Miranda and Texas statutory warnings and then asked Martinez to
reduce his oral statements to writing. Martinez did so, and Springer arrested him.
Martinez was charged with two counts of sexual assault against a child. See TEX. Penal
Code Ann. § 22.011(a)(2) (West 2011). One count alleged Martinez intentionally or knowingly
caused the penetration of the complainant's mouth with Martinez's sexual organ. See id.

§ 22.011(a)(2)(B). The other count alleged Martinez intentionally or knowingly caused the

jury convicted Martinez and assessed his punishment at five years' imprisonment for the first
count, and ten years' imprisonment for the second count. The trial court ordered Martinezto serve
his sentences consecutively.

Martinez contends the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress all oral and
written statements stemming from the interview with Springer. He argues the oral statements
should be suppressed because they were the product of a custodial interrogation and he was not

Dopaminergic neurons control aspects of mood, cognition and movement, and are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of brain disorders including drug addiction. A central regulator of dopaminergic neurotransmission is the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) that is expressed exclusively in dopaminergic neurons and is responsible for clearance of extracellular DA. Psychostimulants such as amphetamines and cocaine elicit dramatic behavioral phenotypes primarily by targeting DAT directly and increasing extracellular DA concentration. DA neurons are functionally heterogeneous and morphologically complex, with | nih_exporter |

Three-fourths of the population came from Afghanistan, while the remaining came from Somalia and Iran ([table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"}). There were no significant differences between the countries of origin and the variables included in this article. A minority (36%) were able to read in their own language. Mean number of serious lifetime events experienced was 6.1 (SD 2.3), range 1--11. Most of the participants (96%) had experienced at least one of the serious life events listed. The most frequently reported experiences were life-threatening events (82%), physical abuse (78%) and loss of a close relative (78%). The official age assessment found a mean age of 18.4 years (SD 2.4), range 15--28, which meant that 72 (56%) participants were considered to be adults. Of this 'adult' group, 36 participants were allowed to stay at the care centres for adolescents, while the rest had to move to centres for adults. None of the participants received psychiatric treatment during the study. Overall, there were no significant changes in the level of symptoms within the study period (p≥0.084), neither for HSCL ([table 2](#T2){ref-type="table"}) nor for PTSS.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to methods, systems and apparatus for managing digital communications systems. More specifically, this invention relates to identifying types of modems or other communication devices, such as by manufacturer, model number, and software version, used in a communication system such as an ADSL system.
2. Description of Related Art
Digital subscriber line (DSL) technologies provide potentially large bandwidth for digital communication over existing telephone subscriber lines (referred to as loops and/or the copper plant). Telephone subscriber lines can provide this bandwidth despite their original design for only voice-band analog communication. In particular, asymmetric DSL (ADSL) can adjust to the characteristics of the subscriber line by using a discrete multitone (DMT) line code that assigns a number of bits to each tone (or sub-carrier), which can be adjusted to channel conditions as determined during training and initialization of the modems (typically transceivers that function as both transmitters and receivers) at each end of the subscriber line.
In recent years, various DSL modems from a variety of manufacturers and vendors have been deployed to customers in a variety of DSL and other communication networks. While some customers are using the latest and/or popular types of modems, other customers may be using very old and/or less common types of modems. Very little effort is made to track the implementation, use and changes to modem type used by customers, meaning that operators and/or other parties have little information about what those customers are using on their respective networks. Generally, an “operator” is a telecom or other service provider who operates the network and provides the service itself. Standardized mechanisms within the existing deployed base of modems that supposedly allow the modems to identify their vendor ID, version ID, and serial number have not been implemented, or have been implemented incorrectly, and are thus ineffective for identification of modems.
Current techniques for acquiring such customer/modem type information are costly and generally ineffective. They may include making a special effort to contact customers directly to collect such information, which is time consuming, highly inefficient and very costly. Operators and others also may collect information whenever there is a “truck roll” (that is, a service call to the customer's premises for repair and/or maintenance work). However, operators and the like attempt to keep the number of truck rolls to a minimum and this is a very inefficient way to collect information about customers and the types of modems they are using.

On 26 August 1944, Evans sailed from Eniwetok to screen the fueling and aircraft replacement group for the assault and occupation of the Palau Islands, and arriving at Ulithi on 30 October, served on patrol and escort duty there through 11 January 1945. After a special assignment to hunt submarines near Yap and to bombard that island, from 11 to 13 January, Evans sailed to Saipan, from which she screened transports to the landings on Iwo Jima on 19 February. She conducted shore bombardment and supported the troops ashore with harassing fire on Japanese positions, then screened escort carriers until 8 March, when she sailed to Ulithi.
Evans cleared Ulithi on 21 March 1945 to screen escort carriers in pre-invasion air strikes on Okinawa and served with them through the 1 April assault on the island, and until 2 May, when she put into Kerama Retto. Eight days later, she got underway with for a radar picket station northwest of Okinawa. During the first night on station, 10–11 May, enemy planes were constantly in evidence; more than a hundred attacked the two destroyers and the two LCSs with them. Evans fought determinedly against this overwhelming assault, shooting down many of them, but in quick succession, four kamikazes struck her. After engineering spaces flooded, and she lost power, Evans crew strove to save her, using portable fire extinguishers and bucket brigades. They succeeded, though 32 were killed and 27 wounded, and the ship was towed into Kerama Retto on 14 May for repairs. She was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for high gallantry and achievement.
After emergency repairs at Kerama Retto, Evans was towed to San Francisco, where she was decommissioned on 7 November, and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 28 November 1945. She was sold for scrap on 11 February 1947.
Honors
In addition to the Presidential Unit Citation, Evans received five battle stars for her World War II service.

Analysis of Possible Mechanisms
-------------------------------
As we have shown earlier [@Khar98], such uncorrelated behavior of $R_s(H_{r\!f})$ and $X_s(H_{r\!f})$, as we observed for our samples (Fig. \[fig1\]), cannot be explained by any of the known theoretical models, including Josephson vortices [@Halb97] (where $r_{JF}<1$, $\Delta R_s$,$\Delta X_s\sim H_{r\!f}^n$, $0.5<n<2$), heating of weak links [@Golos95] ($r_{HE}<1$, $\Delta R_s,\Delta X_s\sim H^2$) and the RSJ model [@Halb97] ($r_{RSJ}<1$, $\Delta R_s$ increasing in a stepwise manner and $\Delta X_s$ oscillating with $H_{r\!f}$), intrinsic pair breaking or uniform heating [@Golos95] (for both mechanisms $r<10^{-2}$, and $\Delta R_s,\Delta X_s\sim H^2$). We can also rule out the mechanism of the superconductivity stimulation by microwave radiation [@Eliash], recently claimed by us [@Khar98] and Choudhury et al. [@Choudh97]. In this mechanism, the dc magnetic field decreases the order parameter, increasing both $R_s$ and $X_s$, which we do not observe for any of our samples. Moreover, we see that even in the low-power regime $H_{dc}$ can cause reduction of both $\Delta R_s$ and $\Delta X_s$, which is not explained by the above model at all.
The most plausible mechanism responsible for the decrease in $R_s$ and $X_s$ with both $H_{r\!f}$ and $H_{dc}$ fields seems to be field-induced alignment of the spins of magnetic impurities, which are likely to be present in most HTS (particularly in YBaCuO) [@Kres1]. This mechanism was recently claimed by Hein et al. [@Hein97] to explain their results on non-monotonic behavior of $R_s$ and $X_s$ in $H_{dc}$ and $H_{r\!f}$ for YBaCuO thin films. | arxiv |

Inquiry: I am having trouble finding a job as a bank teller. It may be because I am way overweight. Although I could do the job, I would need some accommodation from the employer...but no one has offered a job. Do I have any legal rights?
-- Sally, Norwalk
Response: Your legal rights will largely depend on whether your obesity condition will be considered to be a "disability" or not. There are state laws and federal laws (ADA) that prohibit disability discrimination.
The letters "ADA" stand for a federal law: Americans with Disabilities Act. This law took effect on July 26, 1992. It applies to employers with at least fifteen employees. Connecticut state law also prohibits disability discrimination by employers with at least three employees. Its law is similar to the ADA.
Prohibited
As with the other employment discrimination statutes which prohibit age, race, sex, religious and national origin discrimination, the ADA and the state disability laws outlaw discrimination against the handicapped in all employment practices ---- including recruiting, hiring, placement, training, promotion, transfer, benefits and discharge (among others).
Who Is Protected?
The ADA protects applicants or employees who are "qualified individuals with disabilities." Note the word "qualified" ---- just having a disability doesn't mean you are protected by the law. One has a disability under the ADA if he/she is:
1. a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, or
2. a person who has a record of such impairment, or
3. a person who is regarded as having such an impairment.
Individuals with substantial, chronic (on-going) impairments that limit major life activities such as speaking, walking, talking, hearing, seeing, breathing, etc. are individuals with a disability. Various medical conditions such as the following would usually be considered to be a disability: diabetes, epilepsy, AIDS, paralysis, mental retardation, M.S., substantial loss of hearing or vision, etc.
Even individuals who are currently healthy but who have a history of a disabling condition would be considered to be covered by the ADA. An example would be an employee who is currently in remission after having had cancer.
Those employees who are regarded as having a disability by their employer -- but aren't actually disabled -- are also considered to be | pile-cc |
