Let us be a bit more concrete. Given our ring of $N$ $d$-dimensional quantum systems, $L\le N$ and a subspace $S$ of ${{\mathbb{C}}^d}^{\otimes L}$, we denote $H_S=\sum_{i=1}^N\tau^i(h_S)$, where $h_S$ is the projection onto $S^{\perp}$ [^2]. If we start with a MPS $|\psi{\rangle}=\sum_{i_1,\ldots,i_N}\operatorname{tr}(A_{i_1}\cdots
A_{i_N})|i_1\cdots i_N{\rangle}$ with property C1, we will consider $L>L_0$ and, as before, the subspace ${\mathcal{G}}_L^A$ (or simply ${\mathcal{G}}_L$) formed by the elements $\sum_{i_1,\ldots,i_L}\operatorname{tr}(XA_{i_1}\cdots
A_{i_L})|i_1\cdots i_L{\rangle}$. It is clear that $H_{{\mathcal{G}}_L}|\psi{\rangle}=0$ and that $H_{{\mathcal{G}}_L}$ is frustration free. Moreover, if $N\ge 2L_0$ and $L>L_0$, then
\[uniqueGS\] $|\psi{\rangle}$ is the only ground state of $H_{{\mathcal{G}}_L}$.
[[**Proof.**]{} Reasoning as in the case of OBC one can easily see that any ground state $|\phi{\rangle}$ of $H_{{\mathcal{G}}_L}$ is in ${{\mathcal{G}}}_N$, that is, has the form $|\phi{\rangle}=\sum_{i_1,\ldots,i_{N}}\operatorname{tr}(XA_{i_1}\cdots
A_{i_{N}})|i_1\cdots i_{N}{\rangle}$. Since there is no distinguished first position, $|\phi{\rangle}$ can also be written $$|\phi{\rangle}=\sum_{i_1,\ldots,i_{N}}\operatorname{tr}(A_{i_1}\cdots
A_{i_{L_0}}YA_{i_{L_0+1}}\cdots A_{i_{N}})|i_1\cdots i_{N}{\rangle}.$$ By condition C1, $XA_{i_1}\cdots A_{i_{L_ | arxiv |

Growing up I ate the peppery root once a year, when a scoop of white or beet-stained prepared horseradish played a starring role as the "bitter herb" at my family's Passover seder.
Today, the pungent, nose-tickling condiment immediately conjures up thoughts of springtime, my parents' dining room table, and how my brother and I would compete to see who could eat the most horseradish without crying.
Recently though, while having brunch with friends, I discovered horseradish being used in an entirely unfamiliar context: as a mix-in to scrambled eggs. Was it a life changing meal? Not particularly. But it was delicious, and the experience got me thinking that maybe horseradish deserved year-round attention.
With other fiery condiments like wasabi increasingly gaining favor in American kitchens, now seems like a perfect time for a horseradish renaissance.
Native to Eastern Europe, horseradish is relative to mustard greens, broccoli rabe and, yes, radishes. It is a particularly ugly thing — not much more than a dry and gnarled brown root — and for centuries it was used only in medicinal contexts before catching on as a culinary ingredient.
My Lithuanian ancestors likely ate it as a topping on fish, cold meat, and kugel. And by the late 1600s, horseradish had traveled to central and western Europe, where Englanders favored it as a pairing for beef and oysters.
They knew then what I'm learning now: despite its fierce bite, horseradish is a surprisingly versatile ingredient. Particularly when left raw (heat mellows the spiciness), it makes a natural companion to red meat and creamy root vegetable soups, where its heat cuts through the dishes' richness.
It also perks up lighter fare from springtime salad dressings to pickled beets and eggs, adds a little kick to certain sweet dishes like applesauce, and is a classic mix-in to drinks like the bloody Mary.

BEFORE PRATHER, C.J., SMITH AND WALLER, JJ.
SMITH, JUSTICE, FOR THE COURT:
¶1. David B. Corry and Paul J. Corry appeal to this court their convictions from a trial de novo
without a jury in the Circuit Court of Amite County. On November 25, 1995 David Corry and Paul J.
Corry were charged with various hunting violations. Specifically, David Corry was charged with the
criminal offenses of hunting deer without orange, hunting deer over bait, and hunting deer without a
license. Paul Corry was charged with the criminal offenses of hunting deer without orange and
hunting without a license. On a first impression issue, we determine that § 49-7-33, our "baiting"
statute is constitutional. There is no merit to any of the issues raised by the Corry's.
¶2. The following sequence of events led up to the charges filed against the Corrys.
FACTS
¶3. Sometime around October 7, 1995, Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries conservation officer Donald
Foreman received information from a confidential source that someone was hunting deer over ground
baited with shelled corn on Micheal Cupit's(1) land. Subsequently, on November 25, 1995, Officer
Foreman, accompanied by Officer Ricky Long, went to the location where the hunting violations
were allegedly occurring. In order to reach the Cupit property, the officers crossed over land owned
by Merkle Brady and E. L. Caston. Officer Long testified that while standing on land adjacent to
Cupit's, he observed an individual on Cupit's land in a tree stand (approximately 15 to 20 feet off the
ground) with a gun but not wearing orange. Officer Long then entered Cupit's land and ascertained
that the individual in the tree stand was Paul Corry. Officer Foreman testified that he had already
crossed onto Cupit's land when Officer Long made him aware of the individual in the tree stand. The
defendants noted this difference in testimony. The remaining facts are not in controversy.
¶4. Paul Corry told the officers that his brother, David Corry, was also hunting somewhere on the
Cupit property. There was no corn found around Paul, therefore, he was only charged with hunting
deer without orange and hunting without a valid license | freelaw |
JS probably will remain the "byte code of the web", but this article adds
nothing to that trajectory.

LLVM's IR makes no stability guarantees - it can change from one release to
the next, with no backward compatibility. That's not ideal for something
you're slinging out to the web.
I believe this is the same reason Khronos defined their own IR (SPIR) instead
of using LLVM's. Needs to be stable.
~~~
CyberDildonics
That is one reason, the other is being easy and fast to process with tools.

Rusky
The article makes the argument that existing systems are easier to improve
incrementally, while designing new systems is more work and not guaranteed to
succeed.
The problem is JavaScript-as-bytecode is not especially easy to improve.
Anything you want to add/change that would make it a better bytecode has to be
balanced with the language's use by humans.
The solution to one-VM-to-rule-them-all is not to cram everything into a
higher-level system with lots of assumptions (JavaScript) or to ignore
portability (NaCl, LLVM), but to use a bytecode that's low-level enough to
implement the various assumptions needed by higher layers.
That way both C++ and JavaScript can run at full speed as well as have their
implementations changed (even across websites!) without pushing every change
through the browsers- just like native apps, with the browser providing _only_
cross-platform and security, nothing more.

There are very few cases where human use causes problems. goto is the only one
I can think of. Yet we've gotten loads of great improvements in ES6 to make it
a good compiler target, like float32 and better integer multiplication.

The invention is more preferably used in a cell containing a negative electrode having hydrogen storage alloy materials of the so-called AB5-type, a common example of which is described in the basic formula MsNiAlxMn4Co3 and MsNi5(AlxMn4Co3)x wherein Ms represents a lanthanum-rich misch metal (REM), which includes various rare earth metals and wherein 2.5<r<5.0, 0<s<2.5, 0<t<0.5, and 0<u<0.5. Hydrogen absorbing alloys of this class (i.e., AB5) are disclosed, for instance, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,216,274 (Bruning et al) and 4,375,257 (Bruning, et al).
The typical AB2-type materials, as currently envisioned, are based on TiNi2 and typically have the basic atomic structure Ni—Ti—V—Cr—Zr—X—Y wherein X and Y can be other elements of various selection. The invention is more preferably used in a cell containing a negative electrode having hydrogen storage intermetallic alloy materials of the so-called AB5-type, a common example of which are described in the basic formula MmNirCosMntAlu, wherein Mm represents a lanthanum-rich misch metal, which includes various rare earth metals, and wherein 2.5<r<5.0, 0<s<2.5, 0<t<0.5, and 0<u<0.5 and MsNiAlxMn4CO3.
Negative electrode alloys used in NiMH batteries typically comprise La, Pr and Nd as rare earth elements and Zn, Mg and Ni. Cobalt, manganese and aluminum are common additives.
The components of the NIMH battery include nickel metal grid, Ni(OH)2, nickel coated iron, potassium hydroxide electrolyte, and most importantly a nickel metal alloy powder of up to 25-30% by weight. This alloy powder has been developed to absorb considerable hydrogen and is the source of the descriptor “nickel metal hydride” battery. Under charging conditions this nickel alloy absorbs significant amounts of hydrogen as the metal hydride is formed electrochemically. Under battery discharge conditions this absorbed hydrogen reacts electrochemically back to hydroxide and water providing the electrical current of the battery.

However, tension between the two gangsters grew as Wai grew wary of Wan's high-profile persona. Teaming up with rival triad group the Shui Fong, a vicious turf war broke out in 1996 and 1997. In early 1997, an unsigned letter was sent to several newspapers in the area. It said: "Warning: From this day on it is forbidden to mention Broken Tooth Koi in the press; otherwise bullets will have no eyes, and knives and bullets will have no feelings."
In 1997 Wan briefly fled Macau to avoid two arrest warrants, one from a new anti-triad law enacted in Macau, and one for drug-trafficking from China. However, in August a Portuguese judge cleared Wan of all charges, and unexpectedly retired and moved back to Portugal the very next day.
Wan then proceeded to attack Wai in public, putting up posters claiming he was a drug trafficker and declaring that anyone visiting Wai's casinos would become his enemy. Ultimately, Wan amassed enough power and influence and took over Wai's rackets completely. By this time he was earning $6 million a month from his legal gambling establishments.
Involvement in the film industry and arrest
In the autumn of 1997, Wan approached Hong Kong movie producer Henry Fong Ping to produce a film based on his life. The result was the 1998 movie Casino (aka Ho Kong Fung Wan) starring Simon Yam as Giant, a triad boss living the high life in the Macau underworld. Wan agreed to extensive research meetings to make the film as accurate as possible, as well as using his influence on Macau to help the crew film.
One of his most outrageous stunts was to close down the Macau-Taipa Bridge for some hours to allow filming of a crucial scene in the movie. The producers had asked the Macau Government for permission to film on the bridge, closing it to traffic, but permission was denied. However, Wan wanted the scene to be shot anyway so he closed traffic from both sides of the bridge without any warning and the scene was filmed in this manner. Traffic to and from Macau was, because of this, halted for around two hours. No police intervention was made or any other measures by the Macau Government were taken to reopen the bridge to normal traffic flow on what was then one of the two links between Macau mainland and Taipa-Coloane.

The emergence of long-range temporal correlations is a non-trivial feature that can be used to test models of the Earth’s climate [@govindan]. The understanding of the long-range temporal correlations is fundamental because they characterize the interaction among the different climate components [@fraedrich]. There is some controversy with respect to the description made by large scale models of the atmospheric temperature variability [@fraedrich; @vyushin; @comment; @reply; @kurnaz]. The purpose of the present Letter is to introduce a conceptual stochastic model for the fluctuations of the Earth’s atmospheric temperature, or more precisely, its radiated energy (for a survey on conceptual climate models see, for instance, Imkeller and Monahan [@imkeller]). It will be shown that the model displays qualitative features that closely resemble observations. In contrast with other simple stochastic models of atmospheric temperature fluctuations, like autoregressive models [@kiraly; @caballero], all the parameters of the presented model have direct physical interpretation. Additionally, as it will be discussed below, the model introduced here also reveals statistical features that are reminiscent of recent observations on the spatial structure of the climate network. Therefore, this work is intended to be a contribution towards the construction of realistic and unexpensive algorithms for Earth’s climate simulation.
The model is based on energy balance [@cushman]. On Earth, as in other planets with a solid crust, the influx of solar radiation is balanced by the outflow from the surface and the atmosphere. In the simplest description of this process, the Earth is treated as a single point. Let us denote by $y$ and $x$ the global averages of the radiation emitted by the atmosphere and by the surface (oceans and land), respectively. A fraction of the Sun’s total radiation is immediately reflected back into space and another is absorbed by the atmosphere. The remainder of the flux is transmitted through the atmosphere and reaches the surface, which in turn absorbs some of the radiation and reflects the rest. The radiation absorbed by the surface is then radiated back as heat. The surface radiates the absorbed energy in the infrared (IR) region of the spectra. It turns out that the atmosphere is not transparent to IR radiation, essentialy due to the presence of the so-called greenhouse gases. Let us denote by $a$ the fraction of IR radiation absorbed by the atmosphere. A fraction $b$ of the total radiation absorbed by the atmosphere | arxiv |

Too often, Americans believe they’re waging a war on terror, forgetting that war itself is terror. That war itself is evil. That doesn’t mean that war is never justified, as it was, I believe, in the struggle against Nazi tyranny in World War II. Even in justifiable wars, however, we need to recognize that war breeds corruption; that war, in essence, is corruption, a corruption of the human spirit, of a humanity which should be held in common and nourished, but which during war is degraded if not destroyed.
John Dower recognizes this. It’s a theme he explores in his new book, The Violent American Century: War and Terror Since World War Two. Consider it a primer on war’s many corruptions, and a precis of America’s tendency toward a nationalism of callous indifference when it comes to the damages we inflict on others. It’s not happy reading, but then again wars shouldn’t be a subject for happiness.
A remarkable primer and meditation on America’s endless wars
Wars and rumors of war seem always to be with us. Some would say they’re an inevitable part of the human condition. Our historical record seems to support that grim conclusion. Yet there is another way, a more pacific path, a path toward peace. But to walk that path, we must first fully recognize the tangled undergrowth of war that imperils our every footstep. Dower’s latest book helps us to do just that.

11 thoughts on “Memories of War”
Although I agree with most everything written above, something you posited before, about “..people not having a reason to care…,” leaves me continually dispirited. That is to say, that meaningful, intraspective writing, does little more than ‘sing to the choir,’ as it were. How can we break through the strengthening forces of hyper partisanship? If citizens are unwilling to care about the ongoing wars, what will words do? I ask only rhetorically. By no means do I condone giving up.
If only we could somehow get people to care as much about their country as they do their favorite sports team or television programs? And if people did pay attention? Would we have less war, or more? Once upon a time I believed the answer was clear. Today, not so much.
Yes. I’d say first that the choir needs to | pile-cc |

David L. Kreeger argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General McGrath, Assistant Attorney General Sonnett and John R. Benney.
MR. JUSTICE BLACK delivered the opinion of the Court.
In 1942 the Government owed the petitioner a $3,104.87 refund of processing and floor taxes paid by the petitioner under the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The petitioner owed the Reconstruction Finance Corporation $5,963.51, balance on a note for borrowed money. The General Accounting Office directed the Treasury not to pay the tax refund to the petitioner, but to issue a check for the refund payable to the R.F.C. "to partially liquidate" petitioner's indebtedness to that governmental agency. As *538 authorized by 28 U.S.C. 250 (1), the petitioner then brought suit against the Government for the tax refund in the Court of Claims. The Government filed a counterclaim for the $5,963.51, asserting the right to do so under 28 U.S.C. 250 (2), which gives the Court of Claims jurisdiction to hear and determine "All set-offs, counterclaims, . . . or other demands whatsoever on the part of the Government of the United States against any claimant against the Government in said court . . ." The petitioner challenged the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims to hear and determine the counterclaim on these two grounds: (1) the Comptroller exceeded his authority in directing the Treasury to pay the tax refund to the R.F.C. instead of to the petitioner; (2) the R.F.C. should be treated in the same way as a privately owned corporation and when so treated the petitioner's admittedly valid indebtedness to R.F.C. is not a claim "on the part of the Government" entitling it to set up a counterclaim under 28 U.S.C. 250 (2). The Court of Claims, rejecting both these contentions, rendered judgment for the United States and against the petitioner for the amount it owed the R.F.C. less the amount of the tax refund. We granted certiorari.
Little need be said as to the contention concerning the alleged lack of authority of the General Accounting Office to direct the Treasury not to pay the petitioner, since we agree with the Court of Claims that its jurisdiction to hear and determine counterclaims is in no way dependent upon the preliminary intragovernmental steps which precede court action. | freelaw |
You can argue if the cause of anonymity is a greater good (I think it is), but
there are always those who are willing to give something up to support it.

I think it would be interesting to think about ways in which the core
important benefits or anonymity could be achieved through a non-anonymous
society. Anonymity is becoming fetishized in certain subgroups of western
culture, but I don't think anonymity is the real goal, but what it allows.
This is important, because while it may not be possible to salvage anonymity
in some or all locales in the future, that doesn't _necessarily_ mean we can't
salvage some of its benefits, such as protection from authority. Not that I
know how we would accomplish this, but like I said, I think it would be
interesting to think about.
~~~
nitrogen
_Maybe_ perfect equality could be a substitite for anonymity, but as long as
there are any power balances in the world, good people with minority views
(say, political activists in oppressive regimes) will need to hide from
powerful majorities.
I think a better question is how to cure the societal and individual ills that
lead to the abuses of anonymity that cause people to oppose it.

kbenson
> I think a better question is how to cure the societal and individual ills

And that as well _might_ only be solved by perfect equality. Actually, looking
at it this way, where each spectrum has a range of positive and negative
consequences, but the constrained side of the spectrum is self perpetuation
and not self correcting, reminds me of freedom of speech itself, where we just
accept the alternative is accepted (in some parts of the world at least) as
the de-facto standard because of this.
Maybe the way to frame anonymity is that anonymity _is_ freedom of speech, and
there isn't truly freedom of speech without it, so we should just accept the
ills that come with it. This is probably a known and accepted strategy and I'm
just slow on the uptake. :/

The use of melamine in the production of flexible foams using substantially linear polyols, and preferably polyether polyols, is known (see e.g. German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,815,554). Although foams of this type are flame-resistant and do not burn completely on exposure to a flame, they do not have the character of intumescent compositions. In other words, they do not undergo any increase in volume on exposure to a flame, forming a fire-repellent foam.
According to an earlier proposal, flame-resistant sealing compounds free from phosphorus and halogen may be produced using branched polyesters containing hydroxyl groups. Sealing compounds of this type are not intumescent, i.e., they do not foam on exposure to a flame.
In yet another proposal optionally foamed intumescent compositions are obtained by reacting:
(1) polyisocyanates with PA1 (2) phosphorus-containing condensation products having at least one hydroxyl group obtainable by condensing (i) primary or secondary, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic or heterocyclic monoamines and/or polyamines, which amino or polyamine may contain OH--groups, (ii) carbonyl compounds and (iii) dialkyl phosphites, optionally followed by alkoxylation, and PA1 (3) aromatic hydroxy carboxylic acids or salts thereof and PA1 (4) optionally water and/or other organic compounds containing isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms. PA1 (1) polyisocyanates with PA1 (2) phosphorus-containing condensation products having at least one hydroxyl group obtainable by condensing (i) primary or secondary aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic or heterocyclic monoamines and/or polyamines, which mono- or polyamines optionally may contain OH--groups; (ii) carbonyl compounds; and (iii) dialkyl phosphites, optionally followed by alkoxylation, and PA1 (3) polyesters containing hydroxyl groups and having an OH--number of from 140 to 300, obtained by reacting polycarboxylic acids containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms with at least two polyols selected from two different groups of the following three: PA1 (4) cyanuric acid and/or cyanuric acid derivatives and PA1 (5) optionally water and/or other organic compounds containing isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms.

Boone-Migura began his study of voice and piano in Houston before moving to pursue his Bachelor's in Voice Performance (honors) and Master's in French Language, Literature and Culture at Syracuse University. During his academic tenure he received the university's most prestigious Remembrance Scholar Award (named for the 35 students killed in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 Dec. 21, 1988 over Lockerbie, Scotland), and The SU Graduate Teaching Fellowship in French. He also studied voice and piano at the Strasbourg Conservatory of Music in Strasbourg, France. After graduating and moving to New York City, Boone-Migura began teaching French and coaching singers in French diction and the French Mélodie. He also holds a second master's degree in Vocal Pedagogy from Westminster Choir College in Princeton where he graduated with honors and distinction. In addition to coaching singer's privately in the French vocal repertoire, Boone-Migura has taught as a part-time adjunct French language faculty member at The New School and Hunter College in New York. Boone-Migura is currently a guest lecturer in the music department at The University of Hawai'i where he teaches art song literature course in French Mélodie and German Lied and vocal pedagogy.
After accumulating over ten years of project management and client relationship management experience, Boone also managed to transition into an executive role serving as the director of client relationship management at the world's largest document processing services firm CIBT, Inc in NYC. He managed a number of strategic relationships at major firms, publishing and advertising companies, including Yahoo!, MetroSource Publishing and CIBT, Inc.
In 2009, Boone-Migura founded The Art Song Preservation Society of NY, a nonprofit arts organization devoted to preserving and revitalizing the art song while simultaneously promoting the art song recital. Boone-Migura also co-hosted an internet-radio show called "A Toast To Song" sponsored by The Art Song Preservation Society of New York (ASPS) where he serves as Executive Director. ASPS's credo is "where music speaks, and words sing!" Blair founded ASPS because of his concern and deep interest in promoting this declining area of vocal literature and in honor of his mentor of twenty-two years, master French and German song specialist, Mary Trueman (1915-2008).

The size of EWP’s is relevant to the extraction of $\alpha$ via the analysis proposed in [@GL]. Let us study this effect in detail. This analysis requires measuring the (time-integrated) rates of $B^+\to\pi^+\pi^0$, $B^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $B^0\to\pi^0\pi^0$ and their CP-conjugate counterparts, and observing the time-dependence of $B^0(t)\to\pi^+\pi^-$. The amplitudes of these six processes form two triangles, as shown in Fig. \[isoanalysis\], in which the CP-conjugate amplitudes have been rotated by a common phase $\tilde{A}(\bar
B\to\pi\pi)\equiv {\rm exp}(2i\gamma)A(\bar B\to\pi\pi)$ (and similarly for $\tilde{P}_{EW}$ and $\tilde{P}_{EW}^C$). The CKM phase $\alpha$ is measured from the time-dependent rate of $B^0(t)\to\pi^+\pi^-$, which involves a term (2+)(mt) , where $\Delta m$ is the neutral $B$ mass difference. The angle $\theta$ is measured as shown in Fig. \[isoanalysis\].
The effect of the EWP amplitudes on determining $\theta$ and correspondingly fixing $\alpha$ is rather clearly represented by the small vectors at the right bottom corner of the Fig. \[isoanalysis\]. These terms, given by $(c_u-c_d)(P_{EW}+P_{EW}^C)$ and its CP-conjugate, have unknown phases relative to the $T+C$ term which dominates $A(B^+\to\pi^+\pi^0)$ and its charge-conjugate. This leads to a very small uncertainty in the relative orientation of the two triangles. \[In the limit of neglecting EWP amplitudes, one would have $\tilde{A}(B^-\to\pi^-\pi^0)=A(B^+\to\pi^+\pi^0)$\]. The uncertainty in measuring $\theta$, and consequently in determining $\alpha$, is given by . We therefore conclude that the effects of EWP amplitudes on the measurement of $\alpha$ are at most of order $\lambda^2$ and are negligible.

Tips for reducing waste at home
In the Kitchen
Get a compost pail or bucket at your local hardware store for your food and paper scraps. Take it out to your compost cart every day to reduce odors.
Use durable plates and utensils for all your dining needs. Even outdoor eating is easy with washable, reusable plastic ware. If you are expecting a large party, you can use certified compostable plates, utensils, and cups. (Make sure the products say “certified compostable” before putting them in your curbside compost bin.)
In the Bathroom
Stick a small compost bin in each bathroom to collect paper towels and tissues.
Recycle your shampoo bottles.
In the Office
Use a small recycle bin to collect office paper, newspapers, mail and magazines.
While Shopping
Buy products that are minimally packaged. Examples include cereal in plastic bags only instead of boxes, and items that have only one packaging like a box and no outer plastic packaging.
Buy products that have packaging that can be reused or recycled. Cardboard can be recycled at the curb, and white block foam packaging and bubble wrap can be recycled at the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) in Boulder. Fees may apply. Learn more at www.ecocycle.org/charm.
Buy in bulk when you can. Grocery stores have bulk dispensers that allow you to purchase the quantity of nuts, grains, beans or rice you need without a lot of extra packaging.
When cleaning out the garage or basement
Take items like old electronics, white block foam packaging, appliances, yoga mats and much more can be recycled (fees may apply) at the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) in Boulder. Learn more at www.ecocycle.org/charm.
Tips for reducing odors and pests in your compost
To reduce odors in your kitchen, take food scraps out to your compost cart every day.

I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Doretha Smaw was first employed as a Virginia State Trooper in 1982. Compl. ¶ 2. At the time of her hiring, she weighed 219 pounds. Blankenship Aff. ¶ 7. Although Smaw's weight exceeded the maximum weight allowable under the personnel guidelines of the VSP, she was accepted as a trooper with the understanding that she would reach the appropriate weight during her employment. Id.
During her nine-year tenure as a trooper, Smaw received numerous written warnings from her supervisors about the fact that her weight remained in excess of the maximum weight limitation. Compl. ¶ 15-66. In August of 1988, Smaw was examined by a VSP doctor, who found that no medical reason prevented her from reaching the prescribed weight. Def.Mem.Supp.Summ.J. ¶ 3b. The doctor suggested several ways for Smaw to attain the desired weight, and recommended that she lose three pounds per month until she reached a satisfactory weight. Id.
Pursuant to that program, Smaw was weighed monthly. Smaw was consistently unable to meet the three-pound-per-month program, and, in 1991, she was terminated from employment as a trooper. Id. at ¶ 3c. Smaw was permitted to retain employment with the VSP as a dispatcher, a position she currently holds. Id.
Smaw has filed two claims against the VSP, one under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the second under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
II. STANDARD FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, summary judgment should be granted only if "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the ... moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law."

Absolutely. If you so wish you can take the train at noon and get off at 12:30
where any temperature difference due to the sun should be minimal.

Not terribly relevant to your point, but: Noon is actually a time in the day

From the article: 'If the urban heat island theory is correct then instruments
should have recorded a bigger temperature rise for calm nights than for windy
ones, because wind blows excess heat away from cities and away from the
measuring instruments. There was no difference between the calm and windy
nights, and one study said that "we show that, globally, temperatures over
land have risen as much on windy nights as on calm nights, indicating that the
observed overall warming is not a consequence of urban development."'
This is really surprising to me. Not least because, on a sunny day, SF can go
from pleasant to brutal as soon as a breeze kicks up.

The terminology used in both these questions was specifically investigated prior to implementation of data collection. The General Register Office for Scotland commissioned Ipsos MORI Scotland to undertake cognitive question testing, to determine whether the questions were answered accurately and willingly by respondents, and what changes if any might be required to improve data quality and/or the acceptability of the response options. Cognitive interviewing is a widely used approach to critically evaluate survey questionnaires.[@R15] It tests the way respondents understand, mentally process and respond to survey materials. It enables researchers to modify survey material to enhance clarity. Retrospective probing was deemed to be the most appropriate of the different techniques available. It involved the interviewer presenting the question, the respondent answering it, and the interviewer then probing for specific information relevant to the question or to the specific answer given (eg, What does this question mean in your own words?). This research was undertaken with 102 participants with a mix of gender and age, both with and without the health conditions and disabilities (including people with more than one of the conditions). This included people with autism, intellectual disabilities, dyslexia, dyspraxia, speech impairment, mental health conditions (both milder and more serious) and other long-term conditions. The results found that the question on general health status functioned well and did not need amendment, as did the questions on long-term conditions, including intellectual disabilities and mental health condition, while the question on autism was redesigned to that listed above in order to more accurately capture the data specifically on autism. Additionally, the response 'no' was amended to 'no condition'. The other questions did not require any modification.

It is quite possible to determine all polynomials that satisfy the given integral equation. Let $p_n(x)= a_0+a_1 x+\cdots a_n x^n = \sum_{k=0}^n a_k x^k$. Substituting in we get
$$\int_1^2 \left(\sum_{k=0}^n a_k x^{2k} \right)^2 dx+5 \int_2^3 \sum_{k=0}^n a_k x^{2k}dx+7\int_3^4 \sum_{k=0}^n a_k x^k dx=\frac{1871}{30}.$$
Now it is a matter of choosing your $n$, expanding, integrating and explicitly writing down the equation. For $n=0$ we get (as mentioned in my comment)
$$a_0^2+12a_0=1871/30.$$
For $n=1$ we first get
$$\int_1^2 (a_0^2+2a_0a_1x^2+a_1^2x^4) dx + 5\int_2^3 (a_0 + a_1 x^2) dx+7 \int_3^4 (a_0+a_1x)dx = \frac{1871}{30},$$
or after integrating and collecting terms,

Setting $a_0=0$ we verify that
$$\frac{31}{5}+\frac{19\cdot 5}{3} + \frac{49}{2} = \frac{1871}{30}$$
so that $f(x)=x$ is a solution.

The present invention generally relates to the field of the Internet. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved system and method for identifying unique users accessing a web site.
2. Description of the Related Art
Internet commerce has become an increasingly popular form of commerce in the United States and throughout the world. In general, Internet-based commerce, often referred to as e-commerce, provides advantages to both suppliers and consumers. E-commerce provides vendors and service providers the ability to greatly increase their sales channel and distribution network with minimal cost. An Internet commerce site provides a convenient, effective and secure mechanism for potential buyers to browse, select and purchase goods or services in an easy and simple fashion.
An important consideration for owners and/or operators of web sites, which have been designed to handle Internet commerce, is the amount of web traffic flowing through the site. There are various metrics used to measure web traffic. Various web traffic analysis and tracking software is available to provide the owners and/or operators of web sites with detailed statistics. One commonly used metric, for example, is the number of web page accesses or web hits on a page of a web site. Many Internet sites display a counter to show the number of visitors since last counter reset. The number of web hits per page, measured over a given time period, may have a significant impact on the advertising revenues generated by the web site.
Web site logs and other software designed to measure and analyze web traffic, can provide a wealth of additional information regarding the user. For example, it may include detail such as the operating system of user's computer, web browser software used to access web site, hourly/daily/weekly frequency distribution of web hits, Internet Provider (IP) address of user, country of registration for the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP), etc.
Although it has been possible to get detailed statistics referenced above, such as the number of raw hits per web site, the data collected is often incorrect, inadequate and often misleading. Up to now, it has been difficult to accurately identify and count the number of clients accessing a web site. For example, raw hit data shows the number of times each file has been requested at a web site. It can give an idea of the number of clients visiting a web site. However, it may not be able to disclose further detail. Assuming 1,000 hits were recorded on a web site, the raw hit data may not be able to report whether the hits were generated by 10 visitors racking up 100 hits a | uspto_backgrounds |

In this section, we prove Theorems \[thm3\] and \[thm4\]. The two sides of and are rational integers, hence it suffices to show, for every rational prime $p$, that the exponent of $p$ is at least as large on the left hand side as on the right hand side (with the convention that the $p$-exponent of zero is infinity).
We fix $p$ and an embedding ${\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}}}\hookrightarrow{\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}}$, then we can think of the elements of $\Sigma$ as the embeddings $\sigma:k\hookrightarrow{\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}}$. For each $\sigma\in\Sigma$, there is a unique prime ideal ${\mathfrak{p}}\mid p$ and a unique ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$-linear extension $\tilde\sigma:k_{\mathfrak{p}}\hookrightarrow{\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}}$ of $\sigma$. Denoting by $I_{\mathfrak{p}}$ the set of $\sigma$’s corresponding to a given ${\mathfrak{p}}$, the extension map $\sigma\mapsto\tilde\sigma$ is a bijection $I_{\mathfrak{p}}\overset{\sim}\to\operatorname{Hom}_{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}(k_{\mathfrak{p}},{\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}})$ with inverse being the restriction map. In particular, $I_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is a $\operatorname{Gal}({\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}}/{\mathbb{Q}}_p)$-orbit on $\Sigma$ of cardinality $[k_{\mathfrak{p}}:{\mathbb{Q}}_p]=e_{\mathfrak{p}}f_{\mathfrak{p}}$. Let $v_p$ be the unique additive valuation on ${\overline{{\mathbb{Q}}_p}}$ extending the normalized additive valuation on ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$, and let $v_{\mathfrak{p}}$ be the normalized additive valuation on $k_{\mathfrak{p}}$. By “normalized” we mean that $v_p({\mathbb{Q}}_p^\times)={\mathbb{Z}}$ and $v_{\mathfrak{p}}(k_{\mathfrak{p}}^\times)={\mathbb{Z}}$. Then we have the important identity $$\label{eq11}

The new Sir Peter Wright production for the Royal Ballet has Clara and the Nutcracker played by adults. This was deliberate so that the two lead dancing roles could be enhanced. The production was very well recieved and even I, not a great Nutcracker fan, had lots of fun.<P>I saw Alina Cojacoro and Ivan Petrov, both in their late teens or thereabouts and they were superb. WE don't expect to see a child playing Juliet, so i really don't see why we can't have an adult play Clara, albeit that she stays in the childlike personna unlike Juliet.<P>I can understand that others may prefer to see children in these roles and that's fine as well. I wouldn't try to prescribe for people which version they should prefer.
I wouldn't prescribe, either, and I think both approaches are valid. It depends on the concept of the production.<P>JaneGrey, I agree with you that, at times, adults playing children can backfire. I remember in Baryshnikov's Nutcracker, feeling uncomfortable with some of the antics of Fritz and Friends. But some of the women did well with the kids' parts. And I thought both Gelsey (even in the video) and Marianna were wonderful. In this production, Clara is a child on the brink of young womanhood, and I didn't sense a false impulse from either of these ballerinas. It worked completely for me.<P>Re: old Divas, the first thing that came to mind for me was Fonteyn and Nureyev in R&J. She was much older than he. But during that performance, they were both teen-agers. No question about it.<P>Azlan, it was a thrill for me to do that brief stint with Boston. I don't think I was paid. If I was, it wasn't much, I'm sure. There might have been some type of honorarium, but it was a long time ago, and I honestly don't remember. I do remember walking into the Land of the Sweets on the arm of the Prince, being greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy, and genuinely feeling awe. I didn't have to act it. The dancers were very kind, and the company director Sam Kurkijian (or something like that?) was extremely complimentary. I glowed for weeks. That was better than money.

FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT
GARY JOHNSON,
F069503
Plaintiff and Appellant,
(Super. Ct. No. 12CECG00759)
v.
FRESNO COUNTY EMPLOYEES’ OPINION
RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION,
Defendant and Respondent.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Fresno County. Debra J.
Kazanjian, Judge.
Moscone Emblidge Sater & Otis; Moscone Embridge & Otis, G. Scott Emblidge
and Matthew K. Yan for Plaintiff and Appellant.
Reed Smith, Harvey L. Leiderman, Jeffrey R. Rieger and Dennis Peter Maio for
Defendant and Respondent.
-ooOoo-
During the last few years of his employment with the County of Fresno (County),
appellant Gary Johnson, was on assignment in Sacramento County. The County paid
appellant a flat monthly allowance on top of his regular salary to cover appellant’s out-of-
town living expenses.
When appellant retired, respondent, the Fresno County Employees’ Retirement
Association (FCERA), calculated appellant’s pension without including this flat monthly
allowance as part of appellant’s final compensation. Appellant filed a claim with the
FCERA seeking to have the flat monthly allowance included in his pension calculation.
The FCERA denied appellant’s claim and declared the flat monthly allowance was not
pensionable.
Appellant then filed a petition for writ of mandate in the trial court. The trial court
denied appellant’s petition on the ground that appellant’s claim was barred by a class
action settlement agreement. The court did not rule on whether the flat monthly
allowance is “compensation earnable” and therefore included in the final compensation
calculation. (Gov. Code,1 §§ 31461, 31462.)
Appellant challenges the trial court’s ruling on two grounds. Appellant argues that
the release in the class action settlement agreement does not cover his claim because the
flat monthly allowance reimbursement method did not exist when the agreement was
signed. Rather, at that time, the County reimbursed employees for expenses incurred
while on assignment on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Appellant | freelaw |

Naming the first price tends to give up too much information. The other party
now knows what you value it at (at either the highest or lowest price,
depending on the side) and can negotiate you up or down from there. It also
puts an immediate floor or ceiling on the negotiation that could burn you.
This is _especially_ true if the information is asymmetrical.
Imagine you're interviewing for your first job in a new industry/country -
they ask you what you want to earn, and you say "$50,000". Now they can either
say "oh, that's much higher than our starting rate" or "that sounds about
right" \- they'll almost never say "really? We were thinking $75k."

It might go against the business' interests to lowball a hire beyond the base
salary, and in many places it is illegal to pay someone a lesser salary than
somebody else in the same position. I've heard of the "we were thinking +$xx"
happening a few times; I guess both sides end up very happy.

First of all, get a lawyer. I went through the same thing, and talking with
lawyers helped me get my head set correctly. There are various firms in SV and
TX that focus on this sort of thing. I don't remember their names, but a web
search will surely help you find them. Talk to the lawyers, tell them what you
want, and what you got. Then have them take care of things. Otherwise, you
might end up being liable for stuff you did not know about.
Also, a lot of companies do this to take away your focus. Don't treat the
buyout as something real until the money clears. Otherwise, focus on the
business.

Another major factor which plays a role in patient not giving adequate importance to periodontal therapy requirements is the inability of periodontist to demonstrate in most of the conditions what they have achieved after treatment. For example, in endodontics, patients get relieved of pain after the therapy or gets a new crown which gives him an esthetic look and functional tooth that is so motivating for him to get the treatment. Similarly, in orthodontics, a beautiful smile even after a difficult, costly prolonged treatment of more than one year, is the incentive for which the patient is motivated to take the treatment.
We have nothing much to show as post-operative outcomes in most of the procedures except for few esthetic surgeries. Rather the patients have lot of complaints in this period. And the irony is that the procedures in which we can show results are barely asked for, by patients in Indian clinical practice scenario. The worrying aspect of these esthetic procedures are their unpredictable results. We deal with periodontal diseases in surrogate endpoints like pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, furcation involvement etc., rather than using true endpoints.
We diagnose the periodontal diseases with parameters which are surrogate, we evaluate our treatment success with same surrogate endpoints and in long term we use the same surrogate parameters to determine whether the patient has maintained the oral hygiene or not. The worst part is that we use the same surrogate endpoints even to explain to the patients what has happened at the time of diagnosis, what we plan to do and what can be expected after treatment.
What does patient understand by pocket depth or clinical attachment loss (CAL) or furcation involvement or gingival colour changes at the time of diagnosis. We try to tell them about bone loss which they cannot understand as it is not visible and they are at their imaginative best. How much a radiograph can explain the amount of bone loss to a layman is still a question unanswered. Even after the therapy is over, we evaluate the above mentioned parameters and are very elated if they have improved.
My question is, how does it matter to the patient if pocket depth is reduced or there is a CAL gain or bone gain or improvement in furcation status?
How many patients have we encountered in our practice/departments who have primarily come for the treatment of increased pocket depth or loss of attachment or furcation involvement and want them to be treated. The answer would be none till date.

Does anyone know why removing myLeads.LastName != null would cause the null pointer exception error message to go away? Just trying to understand this!
A:
Note that there is a null safe way to compare values in a case insensitive manner:
for (Lead record : records)
{
if (record.FirstName == 'test' || record.LastName == 'TEST')
{
// the == operator performs case-insensitive comparison
// it is also null safe
// the left or right operand can be null
}
}
Regardless, from a logical perspective it is useful to know how to properly perform two separate null checks here.

One approach that has been employed to address these conflicting aspects of high-voltage capacitor realization in CMOS ICs is to stack a pair of FETs with source/drain contacts connected together, or a pair of MOS capacitors, in series by forming each capacitor structure so that they share a contact in the form of a well of semiconductive material. FIG. 2 is an exemplary schematic diagram of a high-voltage capacitor 200 formed from two MOS capacitor structures 205 and 210, in accordance with the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,926,064, entitled “Floating Gate MOS Capacitor” and issued to Hariton describes a voltage-independent capacitor circuit analogous to that of FIG. 2 and describes the associated biasing circuitry required for such.
Each of the MOS capacitor structures 205 and 210 of FIG. 2 is illustrated as comprising a PMOS FET-like structure having a respective externally accessible capacitor electrode 212, 214, a floating gate 231 and control electrode 232, source/drain electrodes or power electrodes 215, a channel 220 electrically coupling the source/drain electrodes 215 of each structure 205 or 210, and a body or well contact 225. In each of the structures 205 or 210, the gate structure includes a dielectric 230 such as a conventional gate oxide, and is capacitively coupled to the source/drain electrodes 215 and channel 220 through the dielectric 230.
Each FET structure 205, 210 is shown as comprising a floating-gate electrode 231 formed on a first portion of the dielectric layer 230 and a control-gate electrode, 232, formed on and separated from the floating-gate electrode 231 by a second portion of the dielectric layer 230. Conventional floating-gate transistors incorporate separate floating gate 231 and control gate 232 structures, with only the control gate 232 typically being electrically accessible.
A conventional stacked capacitor 200 is formed by interconnecting one of the source/drain contacts 215 from each of the FETs at a common intercapacitor node 235 and employing the control-gate electrodes 212 and 214, respectively, as the first 115 and second 125 capacitor electrodes (FIG. 1). One issue with such stacked capacitors 200 is that conventional MOS or floating-gate transistor structures have no means for adjusting charge on common node 235, and, consequently, are unable to avoid one of the two structures 205, 210 carrying a disproportionate amount of the voltage impressed across the electrodes 212, 214.
Furthermore, the semiconductive structure forming the common source/drain region has leakage | uspto_backgrounds |
Its location is west of Barkingside and Fullwell Cross, north of Aldborough Hatch, south of Hainault and (distantly) west from Marks Gate and Collier Row. It is 3 miles from Ilford town centre.
History and origins of the name
The Fairlop Oak
The district took its name from an old oak tree, the Fairlop Oak, that stood in Hainault Forest when much of the area was covered in trees. The oak is said to have had a trunk sixty-six feet in circumference, from which seventeen branches issued, most of them measuring not less than twelve feet in girth. In the eighteenth century, a pump and block maker from Wapping, Daniel Day, would take his employees on an annual fair in the forest, using the oak as their rendezvous. The fair took place on the first Friday of July. They dined on beans and bacon, and this may be the origin of the English words bean-feast and beano.
The Fairlop Fair
By the middle of the eighteenth century, the annual excursion to Fairlop had become one of London's most popular entertainments, and as many as a hundred thousand people being drawn through Ilford to the fair in the forest. As a result, the area became known as "Fair" (after the fair) followed by "lop" referring to the tree flourishing after part of it was used to make Daniel Day's coffin after he died in 1767. A Society of Archers - The Hainault Foresters - under the patronage of the Earl Tylney of Wanstead House met under the Fairlop Oak.
A legend has it that Queen Anne visited Fairlop during the fair. One of the songs sung at the fair was called "Come, come, my boys", in which one verse states:
In June 1805, the oak tree caught fire, and by 1820 it was finally blown down. Its site is marked roughly at the boat house by the lake at Fairlop Waters. In nearby Fullwell Cross is a pub called the New Fairlop Oak.
In 1851, the local people complained so bitterly about the depredations caused by the local deer that the trees which had surrounded the great oak were all felled and the adjoining parts of the forest were converted into farmland.
In 1903 a station at Fairlop was opened on a new loop line that formed part of the Great Eastern Railway. In | wikipedia_en |

title: The broadband emission properties of AGN jets
---
Introduction
============
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic objects in the Universe. AGN dominate the extragalactic high-energy sky, and are very active at all wavelengths from radio to $\gamma$-rays. According to the unified model of AGN, it is believed that a super massive black hole is located in the center of host galaxy, and it fuels the whole system with matter accreted around the central engine. In the radio-loud scheme, an energetic jet is launched in the vicinity of the central engine following the warped magnetic field from the pole direction of the accretion disk. Blazars[^1] are AGN whose jets are pointing toward us, and dominate the radio and the high-energy sky. After the beginning of operations of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the *Fermi* $\gamma$-ray Space telescope in mid 2008, *Fermi*/LAT detected 709 AGN in the first 11 months, and 85% of them being blazars [@abdo10a]. The high-energy emission location in blazar systems is not yet well-understood. By using the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique, we are able to resolve jet structure and trace component ejection at milli-arcsecond scales [@lister09]. Combining the VLBI with the high-energy observatories (e.g., *Fermi*/LAT), we might be able to probe the location of the high-energy emission.

Ironically, given the unwitting status of Yorkshire's man of the moment, Azeem Rafiq, there was general agreement on the introduction of more overseas players into Twenty20 cricket and ensuring that when the competition is expanded, the counties themselves receive a fair chunk of the proceeds. That would appear an axiomatic ambition, except that the expectations in terms of salaries of cricketers from overseas have risen dramatically with the advent of the IPL and the sums of monies involved.
"IPL has changed the landscape," Mark Newton, the chief executive of Worcestershire, said, "and it has become extremely difficult to bring in players because of that. We can't do this unless the income of county clubs improves and television coverage will play a major part from 2010. There is more and more airtime during June and July when there is no football on. I have never been to a meeting of chief executives at which there has been such consensus."
Agreement in particular was reached over expanding the Twenty20 group matches programme from its present two-and-a-half weeks to five weeks' duration. If this means lopping two championship fixtures off the 16 that each county plays, then so be it, although there is no imminent plan to do so. Five home matches in the space of eight days, which was the lot of Warwickshire, were considered too many, not least at a time of so-called credit crunch. Fridays and Sundays proved to be the most popular days for spectators, for obvious reasons, and there was a natural concern that, although gate receipts were higher this year for five home matches than for four in 2007, the formula should not be over-egged.
It is conceivable that fixtures against the university centres of excellence in the early part of the season will be squeezed, so as to bring other competitions forward. The ECB is already sufficiently concerned about the coverage of championship cricket in national newspapers to be contemplating writing to sports editors. This has fallen away considerably in recent years, particularly this season, although that, of course, has in part resulted from the best, centrally contracted, players not taking part, as well as an increasing trend by papers to indulge in watching briefs on the likes of Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen. There is an increasing desire for news and exclusive stories. The football agenda has caught up with cricket. University matches are hardly reported at all, even though centres of excellence, financially supported by MCC, are thriving.

In his state action, Mr. Tyrer alleges that the defendants’
actions violated both the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment and the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment; the
federal action, by contrast, is more narrow, alleging only a due
process violation.

Mr. Tyrer in his state action also names as defendants the City
Council members in their individual capacities. But “[t]he
existence of additional parties in one suit does not of itself

Mr. Tyrer also named the City Council members as defendants in
his state suit does not undermine the conclusion that Mr. Tyrer’s
federal suit raises the same claims against the City that are being
litigated currently in his state action.

Measurement of gas permeability through membranes requires extremely sensitive gas detectors or sensors, for the quantities of measured gas are frequently quite low. It is therefore extremely important that the entire system involved in such measurements be maintained under tightly sealed conditions, particularly with respect to all of the gas flow passages leading to the gas detector. Prior art permeability measuring instruments typically utilize hoses or tubing to interconnect the necessary instrumentation, wherein each of the connecting junctions is susceptible to leakage. Since the performance of these instruments can be critically degraded by gas leakage, it is important to the design of such instruments to provide a minimum number of connections in the gas flow path.
It is also known in the prior art to construct gas permeability sensors operating under various conditions of relative humidity of the gas. Relative humidity becomes an important factor in measuring gas permeability through membranes, because the permeability of certain membranes is affected by the relative humidity of the membrane and the surrounding gas. Measuring gas permeability under conditions of high relative humidity is exceedingly difficult to accomplish, because relative humidity and temperature are closely interrelated, and it therefore becomes necessary to maintain precise control over temperature if permeability is to be measured under relatively high humidity conditions. Under these conditions it is necessary to control temperature of all of the gas flow paths in the system, for a 1.degree. C. change in temperature can easily result in a 5% change in relative humidity. Furthermore, under high relative humidity conditions a slight decrease in temperature can cause immediate condensation of the gas, resulting in liquid accumulation in the gas flow passages. Therefore it becomes extremely important to control the temperature of the entire measurement system whenever permeability measurements are desired with respect to humid gases.
Among the systems devised in the prior art for measuring permeability are a line of products manufactured by the assignee of the present invention under the general model designation "OX-TRAN." These systems have proved very effective for measuring gas permeability under widely varying conditions, although permeability measurements under high humidity conditions have necessitated relatively expensive and complex improvements to the basic system models. Examples of patented prior art technology can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,590,634 "Instrument for Determining Permeation Rates Through a Membrane," which describes a simple permeation r measuring device utilizing dry gases. U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,927 "Apparatus for Measuring Gas Transmission Through Films," Aug. 14, 1984, describes another simple measuring device utilizing multiple permeation cells.

History
Kraken (2000–present)
In 1999, Six Flags Great Adventure spent $42 million on new attractions including a prototype Floorless Coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard, Medusa (later Bizarro). The immediate popularity of the ride led SeaWorld Orlando and three other amusement parks to announce plans to install Floorless Coasters in 2000; aside from the announcement of Kraken on May 6, 1999, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom announced Medusa, Geauga Lake announced Dominator, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced Superman: Krypton Coaster. Kraken was announced as costing approximately $18–20 million. Krakens announcement more than one year out from its opening was an attempt by the park to drive international attendance.
Construction for the ride was well underway in January 2000. During construction, Superior Rigging & Erection was responsible for erecting the supports and track of the roller coaster.
On June 1, 2000, Kraken officially opened to the public. At the time of opening Kraken held the record for the tallest and longest roller coaster in the state of Florida. It held this record until 2006 when Disney's Animal Kingdom opened the Expedition Everest.
Kraken Unleashed (2017–2018)
On September 27, 2016, it was announced that the ride would go under an extensive refurbishment and reopen in 2017 with virtual reality and was renamed to Kraken Unleashed. On June 16, 2017, Kraken Unleashed officially opened to the public. In early 2018, the virtual reality headsets were removed from the attraction’s ride vehicles and the ride went back to being Kraken due to technical difficulties. They returned to the ride in June 2018. Later that summer, the virtual reality was permanently removed due to slow dispatches and excessive wait times.
Characteristics
Statistics
The Kraken stands tall. With a top speed of , the ride was the fastest roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando until the opening of Mako in summer 2016. The ride features seven inversions including two vertical loops, a dive loop, a spiraling camelback (zero-g roll), a cobra roll and a flat spin (corkscrew).
Trains
Kraken Unleashed operates with three floorless trains. Each train seats 32 riders in eight rows of four. This gives the ride a theoretical hourly capacity | wikipedia_en |
In (\[E:x2\]), the receive signal $\mathbf{y}_p$ by $N_r$ additional FD receive antennas of the PBS are forwarded via $\mathbf{W}_f$. The forwarded signal will occupy a part of transmit power of the PBS, which leads to the reduction of the transmit power for desired signals. As will be clear later, however, the forwarded signal can be used to mitigate the cross-tier ICI at PUEs efficiently with the optimized $\mathbf{W}_f$, and hence result in the improvement of PUEs’ data rate.
With (\[E:yp\]) and (\[E:x2\]) we can calculate the transmit power of the FD PBS as $$\label{E:Pout-new}
P_{out} \!=\! \mathtt{tr}(\boldsymbol{\Phi}_x) \!=\! \mathtt{tr}\big(\mathcal{E}_{\mathbf{s}_M, s_{p,k}, \mathbf{n}_p, \mathbf{z}_x,\mathbf{z}_y, \mathbf{E}_{PP},\mathbf{H}_{PP}}\{\mathbf{x}_p[t]\mathbf{x}_p^H[t]\}\big),$$ where the expectations are taken over data $\mathbf{s}_M$ and $s_{p,k}$, noises $\mathbf{n}_p$, transmitter and receiver distortions $\mathbf{z}_x$ and $\mathbf{z}_y$, channel estimation errors $\mathbf{E}_{PP}$, and self-interference channel $\mathbf{H}_{PP}$, respectively.[^2]
Assume that $\mathbf{H}_{PP}$ follows Rayleigh distribution, i.e., $\mathtt{vec}(\mathbf{H}_{PP})\sim\mathcal{CN}(\bar{\mathbf{0}}_{N_rN_t}, \bar{\alpha}_{PP}\mathbf{I}_{N_rN_t})$ with $\bar{\alpha}_{PP}$ denoting the average channel gain, which is reasonable because the transmit antennas and the FD receive antennas can be well isolated in the considered scenario as will be detailed in Section \[S:SIC\]. Then, we show in Appendix \[A:Pout\] that the transmit power $P_{out}$ can be expressed as $$\begin{aligned}

There has been some work on XRX frameworks, and clearly it would be
beneficial for anybody (users, but also implementors,) to have such a
standard packaging format for entire applications following their
rules (as WAR and EAR files can be to Java.) And they would benefit
also from a more low-level packaging format dedicated to package X*
libraries, and would build upon them. But they really are at
different levels, and I think it is fundamental to make the
distinction between both concepts.
As part of the EXPath project, and because I think this is the first
step X* technologies need for several years to enable the delivery of
libraries, I am particularly interested in a library packaging
format.
To illustrate that, I've built a very simple prototype of a package
manager for Saxon. On the one hand you have a simple GUI to install
and delete packages in a repository, and on the other hand you have a
shell script to launch Saxon (setting the classpath for extension
functions and setting catalogs to resolve XSLT imports refering to
libraries.) If those tools are built around a well-defined, open
package format, other implementations could be written (for eXist, for
MarkLogic, XQilla, Zorba... but also for oXygen, providing a one-click
implementation to install a package and then being able to enable it
in some scenarii.)
You can find the manager at http://www.fgeorges.org/purl/20090624/.
You should be able to run it simply by clicking on one of the links on
the launch.html page (through Java Web Start,) but you can also
download the JAR file (look also in the lib/ sub-directory,) putting
both JAR files in the classpath and running Java the usual way, with
the main class org.expath.pkg.saxon.PackageManagerGUI (there is also a
text interface with org.expath.pkg.saxon.PackageManagerTextUI.) You
first have to set up an environment variable EXPATH_REPO, pointing to
a directory (that will be your EXPath Packaging repository, just
create an empty directory.) The interface is very simple: choose the
install item in the file menu, and select the package file you want to

*107 -IV-
We now turn to Sonderman's argument that because Remington failed to record the vacation order as a deed, the order is void against Sonderman and cannot defeat his claim as a subsequent bona fide purchaser. The argument implicates two statutes. Remington points to N.J.S.A. 46:16-1.1, which provides that "[c]ertified copies of final decrees of the former Court of Chancery, final judgments of record of this State * * * may be recorded as deeds of conveyance in the office of the county recording officer of the county wherein the real estate is situate * * *." Its point is that the statute permits, but does not require, the recording of either the foreclosure judgment or the order he obtained vacating that judgment.
Sonderman, however, relies on N.J.S.A. 46:22-1, which prescribes the effect of the failure to record deeds or other instruments. The statute states in relevant part that
[e]very deed or instrument of the nature or description set forth in section 46:16-1 of this title shall, until duly recorded or lodged for record in the office of the county recording officer in which the affected real estate or other property is situate, be void and of no effect against * * * all subsequent bona fide purchasers * * * whose deed shall have been first duly recorded * * *.
Sonderman argues that the order vacating the tax foreclosure judgment, like the judgment itself, should have been recorded in the county deed book and that because it was not so recorded, the order is "void and of no effect" against him. For different reasons, both lower courts rejected that argument.
The Chancery Division ruled that "the Recording Act, per se, is not involved," implicitly ruling that the order need not have been recorded in the deed book. By comparison, the Appellate Division acknowledged the applicability of the Recording Act, stating that
[u]nder N.J.S.A. 46:22-1, deeds and instruments of the nature set forth in N.J.S.A. 46:16-1 are void against subsequent recording bona fide purchasers for value without notice, unless first duly recorded or lodged for record in the county recording office.
However, the book of deeds is not the only record source involved in a diligent search for duly recorded judgments. There is an obligation imposed upon | freelaw |

In terms of contractor rates that's pushing towards the top end of the market
when most devs are hovering around the $25 to $60/hr range.
So really, to make that $100/hr billable rate you will have chase a lot to
deliver that kind of value.
Most small-medium sized business aren't interested in nursing an
engineer/developer/consultant for $16k/mo. They'll only be interested in maybe
a half-day or day rate.
Even then the only value add you can bring to the table is to reduce costs for
them. No one cares about how much effort or work you put in. You're not an
employee to them. You are the consultant. They're purchasing an end product.
You either get real quick at being efficient or you're gonna wash out.
Large sized business would rather hire unless you possess some specialization
they lack or is under market. So you have to punch above your weight class.
Are your skills really worth $200/hr? If so, then you have the means to get
those jobs by offering $100/hr. But, then again, if you were able to get that
type of pay you would have just gotten a job.
To be independent, cashflow management is now the most important thing.
Followed by your sales management. To then lastly your engineering skills.
All in all, it's likely your first 1 to 2 year you'll be making far under
market until you've established a roster of clients.

Haemophilus influenzae is an important cause of human disease, producing both localized respiratory tract and systemic (bacteremic) infections. The initial step in the pathogenesis of disease due to this organism involves colonization of the upper respiratory tract. Despite the essential role of colonization, the determinants of this process remain poorly defined. We have developed an in vitro model for studying interactions between H. influenzae and human epithelial cells. In this model H. influenzae demonstrates efficient attachment and | nih_exporter |
Biocompatibility of silicon-based electrode arrays implanted in feline cortical tissue.
The passive biocompatibility of silicon-based electrode arrays was studied in feline cortical tissue. Three types of arrays were used: uncoated, coated with polyimide, and coated with polyimide over an adhesion promoter. Fifteen arrays were implanted for 24 h to determine early tissue reaction to the implantation procedure, and twelve arrays were implanted for 6 months to determine structural and material biocompatibility.

To investigate the possibility of the leaching of active metal species from Au/HT into the reaction mixtures, Au/HT was filtered from the reaction mixture at 50% conversion of 1, and treatment of the filtrate with additional stirring under similar conditions did not give any product. Furthermore, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectral (ICP-AES) analysis revealed no Au species in the filtrates (detection limit: 0.1 ppm). These results clearly proved that no leaching occurred and the deoxygenation proceeded on the Au NPs on HT.
The outstanding catalytic activity of Au NPs encouraged us to investigate the scope of epoxides in the deoxygenation ([Table 2](#molecules-16-08209-t002){ref-type="table"}). Various epoxides were efficiently converted into the corresponding alkenes with over 99% selectivity. Both aromatic and aliphatic epoxides could be deoxygenated. Epoxides having ether and hydroxyl groups were also successfully employed as substrates (Entries 9 and 16). Notably, the reducible C=O bonds of epoxyketones were tolerated in the deoxygenation (Entries 14 and 15). *cis*-Stilbene oxide and *cis*-2,3-epoxyoctane gave (*Z*)/(*E*)-alkene stereoisomers. The selectivities for *cis*-alkenes were 60% and 50%, respectively (Entries 4 and 13).

The present invention relates to a preservative-bearing gelatinous material and method of using same to preserve wooden railroad cross ties.
Wooden railroad cross ties are made decay resistant by forcing a material such as creosote into the wood cell structure under relatively high pressure. This protects the exterior wood layer but the interior is not penetrated by the creosote and is subject to attack by decay fungi whenever the exterior layer is split, cracked, abraded away or otherwise structurally compromised. Penetration of the treated exterior is common after extended service use as a result of weathering and also as a result of what is known as spike kill and plate cut.
Weathering typically causes weather checking in the form of splits or cracks running in the direction of the wood grain. These cracks provide passages for moisture to travel under the tie plate supporting the rail and into the tie spike holes and checks.
Spike kill is the mechanical enlargement of spike holes caused by cyclical train loadings on the rail, the spike and the tie plate, the relative movement between these components eventually enlarges the spike hole and exposes the untreated tie wood. This relative movement also causes plate cut, which wears or cuts away the tie at the interface between the tie plate and tie. This action tends to abrade away the treated exterior wood layer and exposes the tie interior to the intrusion of moisture and fungi spores.
Soon after railroad ties are put into service moisture sites become established, particularly in the central portion of the interface between the tie and the tie plate. This central portion never seems to dry. As a consequence, the presence of moisture and the temperature elevation brought on by exposure to the sun serve as an incubator for the growth of decay fungi. The natural balance of food, moisture and temperature accelerates destruction of the wood cells and exaggerates spike kill and plate cut in a cycle which eventually results in premature failure and costly replacement of the ties.
Osmose Incorporated, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,236,711 and 5,043,225, disclosed in its summary of the invention xe2x80x9ca thin preservative-bearing pad that is placed between the cross tie and the tie plate either at the time of the original laying of rail or during any subsequent relaying.xe2x80x9d The pad consists of a suspension of a water-soluble fungicide in a binder sandwiched between two layers of a porous hydrophilic backing material. The use of the pad relies on the omni-present | uspto_backgrounds |
Major Dooley died in 1924 at the age of 82. He left Swannanoa entirely to his wife, Sally Mae, along with several million dollars. Sallie May Dooley died in 1926 at the age of 79. She left the estate to Major Dooley's two sisters.
When the property was built it had state-of-the-art fixtures for the time. Electricity and plumbing were installed in the house. It was the first house to have electricity in Nelson County and to accomplish this it had its own power plant on the property. There also was a built-in elevator. Like Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's house 27 miles away, it had a dumbwaiter to bring food up from the basement kitchen to the dining room on the first floor.
The sisters sold Swannanoa in 1926 to the Valley Corporation of Richmond, which became the second owner of Swannanoa. They planned and opened a country club in 1929 and closed in 1932. During that time they built the stone building on the property rumored to house the region's best moonshine distillery and which was a favored supplier for government officials during Prohibition. The golf course was an 18-hole course. It was during Swannanoa's time as a country club that Calvin Coolidge had Thanksgiving dinner (1928) at the mansion. The sumptuous accommodations and isolation from the Capitol's hubbub seemed to affect Mrs. Coolidge deeply, giving her "the giddiness of a mare in the spring" according to the waitstaff. Calvin was typically silent on the subject, but seemed rather drawn and sleepy for the next day's hunting.
The United States Navy considered purchasing and renovating the property in 1942, which they calculated would cost $200,000, for the purpose of establishing a secret facility to interrogate prisoners of war. The military rejected it in favor of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp in Fort Hunt, Virginia, code named P. O. Box 1142, because it seemed unlikely that Congress would approve the purchase of such a palatial structure for the purpose. The mansion stood empty through the Great Depression and World War II until it was leased in 1949 to Walter Russell for his University of Science and Philosophy.

Next, we treat a very useful covering trick, which is essentially due to Yujiro Kawamata. We will use it in the proof of Theorem \[x-thm9.3\].
\[x-lem3.3\] Let $f:V\to W$ be a projective surjective morphism between smooth quasi-projective varieties and let $H$ be a Cartier divisor on $W$. Let $d$ be an arbitrary positive integer. Then we can take a finite flat morphism $\tau:W'\to W$ from a smooth quasi-projective variety $W'$ and a Cartier divisor $H'$ on $W'$ such that $\tau^*H\sim dH'$ and that $V'=V\times _W W'$ is a smooth quasi-projective variety with $\omega_{V'/W'}=\rho^*\omega_{V/W}$, where $\rho:V'\to V$. By construction, we may assume that $\tau:W'\to W$ is Galois.
We take general very ample Cartier divisors $D_1$ and $D_2$ with the following properties.
- $H\sim D_1-D_2$,
- $D_1$, $D_2$, $f^*D_1$, and $f^*D_2$ are smooth,
- $D_1$ and $D_2$ have no common components, and
- ${{\operatorname{Supp}}}(D_1+D_2)$ and ${{\operatorname{Supp}}}(f^*D_1+f^*D_2)$ are simple normal crossing divisors.
We take a finite flat cover due to Kawamata with respect to $W$ and $D_1+D_2$. Then we obtain $\tau:W'\to W$ and $H'$ such that $\tau^*H\sim dH'$. By the construction of the above Kawamata cover $\tau:W'\to W$, we may assume that the ramification locus $\Sigma$ of $\tau$ in $W$ is a general simple normal crossing divisor. This means that $f^*P$ is a smooth divisor for any irreducible component $P$ of $\Sigma$ and that $f^*\Sigma$ is a simple normal crossing divisor on $V$. In this situation, we can easily check that $V'=V\times _WW'$ is a smooth quasi-projective | arxiv |

One thing that hasn’t changed is the power of Rock ‘n Roll. One of the biggest names in this future’s music industry is Mok (Don Francks), an aging rock star known for his bizarre and theatrical performances. Well-known though he is, however, his career seems to have peaked some time ago, and he’s had trouble regaining momentum. Hmm. Looks like he might have some spare time on his hands. Maybe he should take up a hobby.
Well, how about summoning a demon? Yeah, that’d do. Mok has become obsessed with the notion of bringing forth a creature from the underworld to do his bidding – just what he wants it for is a little unclear, but he’s bound and determined to do it, nonetheless. (None of these are spoilers, by the way, as this is also all described in the opening crawl.)
The trouble is, he can’t do it alone. He requires a specific vocal tone, a unique voice that will complete the ritual and allow him to carry out his dark plans. He’ll know it when he finds it, but he’s been looking all over the place for such a voice, and so far he’s had no luck.
This all changes when he returns to his hometown of Ohmtown and encounters a small-time rock band made up of Omar (Paul Le Mat), Angel (Susan Roman), Dizzy (Dan Hennessey) and Stretch (Greg Duffel). Omar and Angel are the lead singers, and a couple. It’s somewhat of a bumpy relationship – he’s a bit too focused on his career, and not enough on hers – but they do seem to get along well otherwise.
In any case, Angel winds up taking the lead on the night that Mok comes calling. Wouldn’t you know it, she’s the one that he’s been looking for – she’s got the voice! He’s just got to have her, and quickly sets out trying to seduce her into his employ.
Angel, however, isn’t having any of it. Her career with the band may not have gone as smoothly as it might so far, but they’re her friends, and she’s not going to desert them just as they’re starting to have some success. Mok isn’t taking no for an answer, though – if he can’t | pile-cc |

testimony, contained McLane’s confidential information regarding rebates and pricing. Although
McKinney may not have obtained McLane’s confidential information directly from McLane, he
nonetheless possessed McLane’s confidential information either through Circle K or through Hill,
neither of whom had permission to share that information.
The record supports findings that McKinney, like Hill, possessed confidential
McLane information, and was planning to use that information to audit McLane for Circle K. Hill
8
and McKinney were hired by Leavitt to provide information in connection with the audit and,
according to Hill, answer questions. Both Hill and McKinney’s recovery was to be a percentage of
the revenue generated by the audit. Any McLane trade secrets or confidential information that Hill
or McKinney knew could be used in the audit or in Circle K’s other negotiations with McLane.
Under the circumstances, the district court could have found that it was probable that Hill and
McKinney would use confidential information, including trade secrets, for their benefit and to
McLane’s detriment. See Rugen, 864 S.W.2d at 552. We therefore cannot conclude that the
district court abused its discretion in finding a probable right to relief with regard to McKinney’s
misappropriation of trade secrets.
We overrule appellants’ first issue.
Probable, imminent, irreparable injury
In their second issue, appellants contend that the district court abused its discretion
in finding that McLane will be irreparably harmed by their participation in an audit of McLane. To
the contrary, the district court heard evidence that Hill had intimate knowledge of McLane’s
accounting practices and access to customer and pricing information. McKinney also possessed
confidential information belonging to McLane. The district court heard evidence that if Hill or
McKinney disclosed this information to any of McLane’s customers, the customers could use the
information to negotiate down prices or otherwise to renegotiate their relationships with McLane to
McLane’s detriment. It is a reasonable inference that if Hill and McKinney were to impermissibly
use McLane’s trade secrets to perform an audit, the resulting damages would be difficult to calculate.

To be clear: he made a lower receiver, a very simple part and the one that has
the serial number stamped onto it, it is the "gun" part as far as the legal
authorities are concerned.
Every other part (upper receiver, barrel, magazine, trigger, hammer, etc) are
just "parts" that one can order untracked.
Making an entire functional weapon is still beyond the scope of most
inexpensive printers.

I love how HN jumps immediately into a gun control debate and almost
completely misses the fact that what he printed is a long way from an AR-15.
It's just a piece of metal called the lower receiver. When I say lower
receiver, I believe he built just the shell not the trigger assembly or
bushings. In addition, the bolt and barrel (the upper) weren't manufactured.
But lets assume for a minute that he printed the entire thing from scratch,
how is this any different than the fact that anybody with a good machine shop
can produce a full AR-15 by hand?

Iron is essential for cell growth and division, but it is also harmful when it accumulates in cells. Therefore, the intracellular level of iron must be precisely regulated. Iron-overload diseases are primarily caused by hereditary hemochromatosis (HH)-the most common genetic disorder in Europe and the United States.

The supermode in CDRR is based on traditional micro-ring resonance, which is not that fragile. To test the stability of this sensor, a $5\ {nm} \times 5\ {nm}$ square defect is inserted at two different positions of CDRR, respectively, as given in [Figure 11](#sensors-18-00116-f011){ref-type="fig"}b,c. From the corresponding transmission spectrum of mode 2 shown in [Figure 11](#sensors-18-00116-f011){ref-type="fig"}a, the defect on outer (inner) ring only has influence on the resonance of outer (inner) ring, which can make resonant wavelength shift or create new mode. However, the mode 2 still exists with narrow FWHM in both cases, only suffers from little lower absorption or resonant wavelength change. The corresponding distributions $\left| H_{z} \right|$ of mode 2 with defect are presented in [Figure 11](#sensors-18-00116-f011){ref-type="fig"}d,e.

Here, the application for bio-sensing is discussed, the same structure parameters are chosen with outer ring radius 350 nm and gap $30~{nm}$, and still only mode 2 is focused. Since water is one of the most common solvents used in chemical and biological applications, it is necessary to test the performance of the sensor in water (*n* = 1.33), as presented in [Figure 12](#sensors-18-00116-f012){ref-type="fig"}a. When considering the concentration of solution can be reflected by the refractive index (RI), a set of different RI values around the water are used to measure the sensitivity and FOM, the transmission spectrum is given in [Figure 12](#sensors-18-00116-f012){ref-type="fig"}b. According to [Figure 12](#sensors-18-00116-f012){ref-type="fig"}c, the sensitivity in the water is 1061 nm/RIU, and the FOM of 193 can be achieved, which can prove that this sensor still has excellent performance in water.
Therefore, such structure can be a sensitive label-free and compact biosensor. A special case for the detection of the DNA hybridization is shown as follows. After the DNA hybridization, i.e., when single strand DNA | pubmed_central |

Tumor formation and ligand-specific focus formation was found when the serotonin 1c receptor was placed into NIH-3T3 cells and stimulated with a receptor specific ligand. Julius, et al., Science, 244:1057-1062 (1989). Serotonin stimulation of the transfected 5HT1c receptors resulted in mobilization of calcium, leading to a proposed link between receptor activation of the signal pathway and the biologic function of tumor formation.
A similar outcome was seen when an adrenergic alpha-1B receptor was put into NIH-3T3 and Rat-1 cells. Allen, et at., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:11354-11358 (1991). In that experiment, catecholamine stimulation of the transfected receptor produced foci formation and increased cellular proliferation in culture as well as tumorigenic behavior in nude mice. Allen, et al. further demonstrated the functional coupling of the transfected receptor to production of total inositol phosphates which can secondarily cause internal release and influx of calcium, suggesting a link between these signal transduction pathways and the malignant response.
Lastly, transfection of the odd-numbered muscarinic receptors into NIH-3T3 cells has been shown to stimulate internal calcium release and uptake, arachidonic acid release, and generation of inositol phosphates. See, Bonner, et al., Neuron, 1:403-410 (1988), Gutkind, et at., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88:4703-4703 (1991), Conklin, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 85:8698-8702 (1988), and Felder, et al., J. Pharmachol. Exp. Ther., 255:1140-1147 (1990). Additionally, ligand activation of the m1, m3, and m5 subtype muscarinic receptors resulted in tumorigenic foci formation in vitro.
Association of the products of the arachidonic acid cascade and generation or inhibition of malignancy has also been documented. Prostaglandins have been implicated in the initiation and promotion of malignancy. Honn, et at., Prostaglandin 21:833-864 (1981).

Dissolved air flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial wastewater effluents from oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants, paper mills, general water treatment and similar industrial facilities. A very similar process known as induced gas flotation is also used for wastewater treatment. Froth flotation is commonly used in the processing of mineral ores.
In the oil industry, dissolved gas flotation (DGF) units do not use air as the flotation medium due to the explosion risk. Nitrogen gas is used instead to create the bubbles.
Process description
The feed water to the DAF float tank is often (but not always) dosed with a coagulant (such as ferric chloride or aluminum sulfate) to coagulate the colloidal particles and/or a flocculant to conglomerate the particles into bigger clusters.
A portion of the clarified effluent water leaving the DAF tank is pumped into a small pressure vessel (called the air drum) into which compressed air is also introduced. This results in saturating the pressurized effluent water with air. The air-saturated water stream is recycled to the front of the float tank and flows through a pressure reduction valve just as it enters the front of the float tank, which results in the air being released in the form of tiny bubbles. Bubbles form at nucleation sites on the surface of the suspended particles, adhering to the particles. As more bubbles form, the lift from the bubbles eventually overcomes the force of gravity. This causes the suspended matter to float to the surface where it forms a froth layer which is then removed by a skimmer. The froth-free water exits the float tank as the clarified effluent from the DAF unit.
Some DAF unit designs utilize parallel plate packing material (e.g. lamellas) to provide more separation surface and therefore to enhance the separation efficiency of the unit.
DAF systems can be categorized as circular (more efficient) and rectangular (more residence time). The former type requires just 3 minutes. A particular circular DAF system is called "Zero speed", allowing quite water status then highest performances. The rectangular type requires 20 to 30 minutes. One of the bigger advantages of the circular type is its spiral scoop.

To verify that the truncated system numerically investigated here really represents (up to a certain time) the real, infinite–dimensional, model, we plotted in Fig.\[fig3\] $n_{eff}$ as a function of the number $N$ of field oscillators taken into account. We found that, at any fixed time, $n_{eff}$ converges on increasing $N$, its limit value giving the number of overall normal modes significantly excited in the infinite–dimensional system. As this value increases with time, an equilibrium state is never reached.
In summary, our numerical experiments have exposed a chaotic dynamics in the unusual case of an [*infinite*]{} dimensional, conservative system with a [*finite*]{} total energy. The dependence of time-averages on initial conditions gets lost, and, for any finite–dimensional reduction, the system reaches an equilibrium state, with equipartition of energy among the degrees of freedom of the field and of the matter.
From our results we infer that, in the real infinite–dimensional problem, there is a trend towards equipartition, the finite energy of matter being removed to higher and higher frequencies of the field. However, this process takes place at a nonuniform rate, as relaxation times of normal modes increase with their frequency. Therefore, as in an old hypothesis of Jeans[@JEANS], a real equilibrium state is never reached.
Artificial though it may appear, our model is actually [*the simplest, one-dim. model*]{} with charged particles undergoing elastic collisions inside a reflecting enclosure. We believe that more realistic models displaying the same basic features will display a similar behaviour. We also submit that quantization of this, or similar, field models may open a challenging new direction in the field of Quantum Chaos, starting from a very old problem.

2. Put Some Money in Savings
In addition to socking away money in your retirement account, put some of your paycheck into a savings account.
"As soon as you get your paycheck, set some money aside in your savings account," said Kyle Taylor, founder of ThePennyHoarder.com. "I recommend at least 10 percent. I'd even take it a step further and automate the savings process." For example, you can use an app like Digit to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account to your savings account.
Award-winning personal finance journalist Jean Chatzky is also an advocate for scheduling deposits from your paycheck to your savings account. "Automating savings is the first thing everyone should do with their paychecks," she said. "If you don't see the money, you can't spend it, and it's the best way to guarantee a secure financial future."
The best savings accounts offer liquid money that can come in handy in an emergency — or enable you to save for a big-ticket item you want. They also offer interest-growing potential. Look for an account that comes with a higher APY. With a higher APY, you can earn more interest on your savings.
Although different from a retirement account, this savings account can help you achieve your future goals. "It may sound odd coming from a banker, but there's more to life than just money," said James Capolongo, head of consumer deposit products at TD Bank. "I'm a firm believer in paying yourself first and setting aside a portion of your paycheck to invest in your future."
3. Pay Down Debt
"The first thing people should do is pay down their debt," said entrepreneur John Rampton. "Pay it all off, if possible. If not, pay the highest interest rate items first, like credit card balances."
Paying off the debt with the highest interest first can help you save money in the long term. But you should also make it a priority to pay off any debts that are past due.
"If you have large amounts of outstanding debt and the bill collectors are calling, it only makes sense to pay those debts off in a hurry — either through debt consolidation or by paying off more costly debt first, like high-interest credit cards," said Keisha Blair, co-founder of Aspire-Canada.com, an online platform that offers resources to entrepreneurs and professionals.

FRANCIS O. DAY CO., INC.
[No. 125, September Term, 1957.]
Court of Appeals of Maryland.
Decided January 22, 1958.
The cause was argued before BRUNE, C.J., and HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT and HORNEY, JJ.
Sheldon E. Bernstein, with whom were Jackson Brodsky, David G. Bress and Mark B. Sandground on the brief, for the appellant.
James R. Miller, with whom were Lee C. Miller and James R. Miller, Jr., on the brief, for the appellee.
HENDERSON, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
This appeal in a non-jury case is from a judgment for $12,412.23, in an action for breach of a written contract, dated December 2, 1954, whereby the appellee, plaintiff, agreed to construct storm sewers in Oakwood Knolls Subdivision, Bethesda, Maryland, and the appellant, defendant, to pay therefor an aggregate price of $43,000.00 The subdivision was laid out in two sections. Lots had been sold and some houses were under construction in the first section, so that construction was urgent. No lots had been sold in Section II. After completing substantially all of the work in the first section, the plaintiff declined to perform the work in the second section, on the ground that the defendant had failed to pay for the work performed and materials furnished in the first section, and had failed to obtain the necessary permits to enable it to perform the work in the second. It brought suit to recover the balance due and damages. The appellant defended on the ground that it was justified in refusing payment until all the work was fully completed, alleging that the contract was entire and indivisible, and that the *376 plaintiff committed an anticipatory breach of the contract by indicating its intention not to proceed with work in the second section at a time when there was a bona fide dispute as to payment for the work completed. The appellant also contends that the court applied the wrong measure of damages, and the proof did not support the damages allowed.
The contract is not a model of clarity. The construction work was required to be in conformity with the standards and specifications of the Montgomery County Department of Public Works and in conformity with a permit issued November 12, 1954, by the State Roads Commission.

I think a far better action than saying "oh no, swear words" would be to ask:
what code is apparently causing developers to swear and how can it be fixed?
And for what it's worth, when people are offended by mere words I counter with
"I'm offended by censorship", because I am. What is it about certain commonly-
censored materials that makes them so special? Why can't a person just change
the channel or read something else to avoid uncomfortable material? Also, why
are people so much more likely to be angry about swear words (which cause no
demonstrable harm), when things that _do_ cause harm (like wars) are more-or-
less tolerated silently? Makes you wonder.

true, code would help there instead of bikeshedding. also it would serve as
guide to anyone following the patch.

AndrewDucker
Swear words which are deliberately offensive or pejorative should generally be
avoided.
But there's no reason why flavoursome language can't be used to get across the
developer's feelings about how fucking awful the shit piece of code they've
just had to kludge something into was, and how much they're looking forward to
clearing it up in a later release.
------
eccp
Source code is not only about the implementation, but also about the approach
of the developers to express a solution to a problem. If swearing is part of
that expression, it's OK to me, but I agree that unneccesary swearing, and
being offensive to a certain group or demographic should be avoided at all.

The long-term objective of this project is to obtain detailed biochemical information and understanding of the metabolism of acetate in the strictly anaerobic microorganism Methanosarcina barkeri. Specific goals are concerned with determination of structural and catalytic properties of a high molecular mass multienzyme complex that, as previous results of this project have demonstrated, catalyzes a critical, early event in acetate decomposition--namely, cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond of acetate (as acetyl-CoA). This project has shown that tetra | nih_exporter |
Human matrix metalloproteinases-13 (HMMP13) shows a wide substrate specificity, and its expression is limited to pathological situations such as chronic inflammation and cancer. The coding sequence for HMMP13 is 86% identical to rat matrix metalloproteinases-13 (RMMP13); however, the regulation of HMMP13 and RMMP13 protein synthesis in renal mesangial cells is strikingly different. In human cells there is a discordance between HMMP13 mRNA levels and protein expression. | pubmed_abstracts |
