Laad et al. (2004) in France analyzed the seasonal variations in the appearance of the stroke and the influence of meteorological factors on their appearance. The study was a population-based Dijon registry of stroke and included 3287 patients from 1985 to 1998. The difference from one season to another was significant only for the total number of strokes, with a minimum from July to September and a maximum in October. Detected are correlations with meteorological data for the total number of strokes. They pointed to the influence of temperature and relative humidity on days with stroke or 1-5 days earlier ([@R10]). In our study, when testing the null hypothesis about the effects of relative air humidity on days with and without CVI's, (where the null hypothesis denies the influence of the facto and working confirms the influence of humidity) compared to the average values of relative humidity is monitored in two months with the highest stroke incidence and four weeks with most strokes within these months, there was no effect of the average relative humidity on the incidence of stroke. It was found only by this test in 2005 the average relative humidity had influence on the incidence of CVI's. The influence of relative humidity showed the increased incidence of stroke and at extreme values: first at a very low average humidity (38%), followed by a very high (98%). The influence of fluctuations in relative humidity is negligible during the day r = 0.07 (7 am to 14 pm), and there is a mild correlation compared to the average humidity of the day r = 0.29 to the emergence of CVI when we include all the cases. In extreme situations, with an increased number of stroke and no significant correlation between relative humidity, but only a mild correlation with changes in the average humidity of the day in relation to the previous day. Fluctuations for all analyzed parameters during the day was analyzed by comparing measurements in the period from 7 am to 14 pm, when it was most strokes during a three-year research and where it is found that there is no significant correlation between relative humidity and CVI's. Given that the measurements made in terms of 7h, 14h and 21h, analyzes were performed in these terms, but without significant results.
6.. CONCLUSIONS
===============
Patients gender in all three years of the study did not significantly influence the incidence of CVI's, women were represented slightly more (1006) or 52.12%, and men 924 or 47.87% of the cases. When testing the existence of statistical differences in CV | pubmed_central |
in Rails, database call works in development but stalls in test
I am running a test for a controller method as shown below:
it "should assigns an instance var @items including my item" do
@item = FactoryGirl.create(:item)
get :index
response.should include(@item)
end
The controller method is:
def index
@Item = Item.select_items
end
where select_items is a scope method in the Items model:
scope :select_items, where(Items.arel_table[:select_field].not_eq(nil))
In development, this works fine. In test however, I get
A 500 error when I test the controller method itself in the console
No error when I simply test the model method in the console
A permanent hang when I run the spec
In test.log, the hang happens at the last line of the following:

This invention relates to the process of gridding vases/containers, specifically to such vases/containers which are used by hobbyists and professionals alike to assist and expedite the development and shape of a floral arrangement and to assist in securing the original shape of the arrangement during handling, delivery and installation.
2. Prior Art
Retail florists commonly begin an arrangement by placing a criss-cross pattern of floral adhesive tape across the opening of the vessel, over the lip and down approximately ¼ inch to ½ inch onto the outside of the chosen vessel. The grid is then secured to the vase by tightly wrapping another piece of floral adhesive tape around the outside circumference of the lip of the vessel to bind the tape endings to the outside rim of the container, thus holding the grid work in place.
The size of the voids created by the grid is determined by the preference of the floral designer. Some designers prefer a grid with larger, fewer apertures. While others prefer a smaller, tighter net. Consequently, the ability to vary the size of the apertures and the ability to adapt the gridding to many different sizes and shapes of containers are two very important qualities.
Such a grid is an important means of keeping the stem insertions in place while the arrangement is being developed. The grid also assists in keeping the stems in place during the jostling of the finished product during the delivery process and the installation of the floral piece to its final destination. The strength and durability of the grid is obviously also very important.
Originally the reticular of tape was applied by hand, one piece at a time; first as strips of tape in one direction across the opening. Then, repeating the process in the opposite direction across the opening to eventually form a reticular or fish net pattern of tape over the entire opening. The ends of the strips are bent down over the lip and onto the outside edge of the opening. The net of tape is secured by manually running another piece of adhesive tape very tightly around the outside edge of the container/vase. In essence, the net of tape supports the stems and helps to keep the stems from flopping around during the process of building the arrangement and also during the delivery and installation processes.
Industry professionals commonly use two different styles of floral adhesive tape. The two most popular adhesives are: #1-a clear scotch tape style #2-a floral tape that is solid dark green on the outside surface with a white adhesive underneath.Both are produced on rolls | uspto_backgrounds |

Game summary
The first half of the National Championship Game featured 13 lead changes and the two evenly matched teams traded baskets. Duke held the largest lead of the half at six points. Wisconsin did not shoot well early, but managed 11 second chance points as they erased the deficit. At the half, the game was tied 31–31, marking the first such tie since 1988. Wisconsin, which led the nation in fewest committed fouls per game, recorded just two first half fouls. Duke meanwhile committed seven fouls. Jahill Okafor sat the final 4:47 of the first half after picking up two fouls.
Wisconsin scored first in the second half and held the lead for most of the half as both Okafor and Justise Winslow spent extended periods on the bench due to foul trouble. Wisconsin's lead grew, reaching 9 points at the 13:25 mark, before Duke began to narrow the gap. Even as Wisconsin was building a lead, the foul situation was reversing itself – by the 11:43 mark, game fouls were even at 9 for each team. However, Okafor picked up his fourth foul at the 9:18 mark, sending him back to the bench.
Duke tied the game at 54 on a Tyus Jones jumper with 7:03 remaining. Two possessions later, Duke took the lead for the first time in the second half on a Grayson Allen basket at the 5:32 mark. With 3:30 left in the game, Okafor reentered the game with Duke holding a narrow 59–58 lead. He immediately made a difference, scoring on back-to-back possessions to give Duke a 63–58 lead.
With 1:53 left, a loose ball went out of bounds and the officials initially ruled that Wisconsin's Bronson Koenig touched it last, awarding the ball to Duke. After a lengthy replay review, the officials announced that the call would stand. A Jones 3-pointer on Duke's ensuing possession with 1:20 remaining then made it 66–58 before Frank Kaminsky narrowed the gap to 66–61. After a failed layup by Jones on a run out, Wisconsin cut the lead to 3 on a dunk. On the ensuing possession, Duke was fouled and made both free throws. A Wisconsin miss sealed the victory and Duke won by a final score of 68–63.
Jones finished with a game-high 23 points, while | wikipedia_en |

Due to a recent endeavor that my wife is entering into I have been researching business software. Almost all of them are overkill unless you can find an IT guy who has programmed a specialized software for his own beekeeping business. QB is well accepted in the accounting world but so are some others. The advantage I see about QB is there are so many people using it so it is easier to get help because as you would expect "free support" is a term used loosely these days.
I am looking towards online software's to alleviate the problem of hardware crashes and maintenance. It will also give me off site access which is necessary. Unfortunately I had to go to Quickbooks online "plus" instead of "essentials" to get class tracking which is really overkill for the business my wife is in. But if you need it you need it.
The biggest nut to crack is dealing with our state government and payroll for any business. That alone kills most businesses from moving out of the hobby classification. For my personal business with no employees I use a spreadsheet and at the end of the year I do a data sort for the ins and the outs and that makes my accountant happy. I would think most bee businesses with no employees could do the same. Once you have employees you have big brother breathing down your neck and then it becomes a whole new ballgame.

Re: Beekeeping Business Accounting
I use QB for my business, its great....but a little bit of a pain.
Set it up as simple as you can to start with. When you launch the program do it with someone that has experience setting up accounts, that is going to do your accounting/taxes or is at the least familiar with QB. Some things are difficult to go back and restructure if you haven't used it.

Leonard Groves, Jr., v. Joseph Meko, Warden
SILER, Circuit Judge, concurring and dissenting in part. I concur in the majority opinion
to the extent that it affirms the denial of the writ of habeas corpus by the district court on Counts 1-4,
6. I dissent, however, on the denial of the writ on Count 5 for the reasons stated herein. As the
majority observes, in Marshall v. Commonwealth, 625 S.W.2d 581 (Ky. 1981), the Supreme Court
of Kentucky held that a defendant’s conviction for first-degree wanton endangerment during a
robbery constituted double jeopardy when the defendant was also convicted of first-degree robbery.
Id. at 582-83. Of course, we must decide whether this is still the law after United States v. Dixon,
509 U.S. 688, 703-12 (1993). The test now for double jeopardy is not whether both charges involve
the same conduct, but whether each crime requires proof of a fact the other does not. As the majority
observes, after Dixon, Kentucky courts have held that charges for first-degree wanton endangerment
and first-degree robbery pass the test under Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299 (1932). See
Crisp v. Commonwealth, No. 2004-SC-0058-MR, 2005 WL 629005, at *2 (Ky. Mar. 17, 2005),
Grider v. Commonwealth, No. 2006-CA-001999-MR, 2008 WL 299023, at *2 (Ky. Ct. App. Feb.
1, 2008).
While it is clear that first-degree robbery requires proof of an element that first-degree
wanton endangerment does not (i.e., theft), it is less clear whether the reverse is true. In other words,
it is unclear whether “us[ing] or threaten[ing] the . . . use of physical force upon another person”
while being “armed with a deadly weapon” (an element of first-degree robbery) constitutes
“manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life” and “wantonly engag[ing] in conduct

Loss of gyros would be far more noticeable at low speeds (less than 20mph)
than high speeds IMO.

jdbernard
While trail and gyroscopic forces both influence steering and stability,
neither are required. It has been shown that a bike can still be self-
balancing even without trail or gyroscopic forces, though positive trail and
gyroscopic forces do make it easier to balance and more stable (see
[http://bicycle.tudelft.nl/stablebicycle/StableBicyclev34Revi...](http://bicycle.tudelft.nl/stablebicycle/StableBicyclev34Revised.pdf)).
ithkuil's comment is the more accurate description of what is going on.
~~~
barrkel
ithkuil is saying the same thing as me, in a different way. I'm talking about
how bikes are self-stable, he is talking about how bikes are stable with
active input. Trail creates a steering feedback system. You need feedback from
lean into the steering in order to create something self-stable, and trail is
the simplest way of doing that.

A motorcycle turns by 'falling over'. For me, that and the acceleration are
the main attractions. Can't imagine this will get many motorcyclists to
convert.

Adirael
Counter steering. This thing turns like a motorcycle, it's the only way
(AFAIK) to turn a two lined wheeled vehicle at speed. It's not a Can-Am.
~~~
barrkel
It has a steering wheel. Can you imagine counter-steering with a steering
wheel? Swerving to avoid something on the road? Gyros would greatly reduce
agility if they were not deeply tied into the steering, so I wonder if the
steering isn't a direct mechanical linkage.
~~~
Adirael
Not sure, maybe. I think they'll be trying to target people who likes MCs but
are too afraid to hop in one, so it would make sense to have the counter
steering mechanically done instead of giving you the full control... I also
couldn't find anything about speed and power.

Aneurysms of the internal mammary artery (IMAA) are uncommon clinical entities \[[@RJU125C1]\] and usually occur in patients after sternotomy, placement of a central venous catheter or pacemaker leads \[[@RJU125C2]\]. Less common, these aneurysms are associated with vasculitis (e.g. Kawasaki disease \[[@RJU125C3]\]), connective tissue disorders (e.g. Marfan syndrome \[[@RJU125C4]\]), chest wall infections \[[@RJU125C5]\] or atherosclerosis \[[@RJU125C6]\]. However, changes in the structure of the vascular wall at the cellular level such as cystic medial necrosis or hyperplasia lead to loss of elasticity and formation of aneurysms \[[@RJU125C6]\].
Since rupture of IMAA leads to haemothorax and life-threatening conditions, early diagnosis and treatment is indispensable. We here report the case of a 46-year-old man with an idiopathic IMAA.
CASE REPORT {#s2}
===========
A 46-year-old man was presented to the Department of Vascular Surgery with distinct varicosis. In the context of preparation for vein stripping, chest X-ray was performed and revealed a nodular shadow attached to the pleural cupula (Fig. [1](#RJU125F1){ref-type="fig"}). Exact census of the anamnesis revealed increasing surge and numbness of the fingers depending on the load of the arm (comparable to the thoracic outlet syndrome). To further evaluate the nodular shadow on X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax with contrast medium has been drafted. The CT scan revealed a 3.6 × 4.4 cm inhomogeneous tumorous process dorsal of the left clavicle with impression of the neighbouring lung. Furthermore, it was suspected that the tumour infiltrated the left internal jugular and subclavian vein. Therefore, an additional phlebography was initiated. Phlebography confirmed the perceptions of the CT scan, but failed to shed any further light on the nature of the tumour (Fig. [2](#RJU125F2){ref-type="fig"}). Finally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was performed in order to demonstrate the exact origin of the tumour, but also failed to obtain new findings (Fig. [3](#RJU125F3){ref-type="fig"}).

Does Slick handle a collection like List/Set etc?
My question is:
My Scala's case class has parameters where a collection(i.e., List) is a part of its constructor parameters, and I wonder how to map my case class into Slick style database table or tables if necessary?
In other words, I would like to "Join tables in Slick way to map to a Json formatted case class, which is to be represented to the frontend (javascript) bits"?
Please kindly give me a shout if my question is not clear enough.
The same question is at:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scalaquery/QqZz_M-1VTg
For example,
case class ClassA (id: Int, lists: List[ClassB])
object ClassA extends TableQuery(new ClassATable(_)) {
// JSON formatter
implicit val classAFormat: Format[ClassA] = (
(JsPath \ "id").formatNullable[Int] and
(JsPath \ "lists").format[List[ClassB]]
)(ClassA.apply, unlift(ClassA.unapply))
}
case class ClassB (id: Int, name: String)
object ClassB extends TableQuery(new ClassBTable(_)) {
implicit val classBFormat: Format[ClassB] = (
(JsPath \ "id").formatNullable[Int] and
(JsPath \ "name").format[String]
)(ClassB.apply, unlift(ClassB.unapply))
}
So, the missing bit is to create ClassATable and ClassBTable in such a way that there is a bi-directional relationship by means of each one's "id"?
Many thanks,

A class like this
case class ClassA (id: Int, lists: List[ClassB]) implies that table B has to be loaded when Table A is loaded. This hard-codes the loading strategy. This is avoided in idiomatic Slick code. Instead, in Slick this is usually solved with tuples to make it more flexible. The Slick tables are then simply mapped to versions of ClassA and ClassB, which do NOT contain references to each other, only the column data. Instead, a | stackexchange |
This invention relates generally to wireless communication devices and more particularly to radio frequency transmitters used within such wireless communication systems.
2. Description of Related Art
Communication systems are known to support wireless and wire lined communications between wireless and/or wire lined communication devices. Such communication systems range from national and/or international cellular telephone systems to the Internet to point-to-point in-home wireless networks. Each type of communication system is constructed, and hence operates, in accordance with one or more communication standards. For instance, wireless communication systems may operate in accordance with one or more standards including, but not limited to, IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, advanced mobile phone services (AMPS), digital AMPS, global system for mobile communications (GSM), code division multiple access (CDMA), local multi-point distribution systems (LMDS), multi-channel-multi-point distribution systems (MMDS), and/or variations thereof.
Depending on the type of wireless communication system, a wireless communication device, such as a cellular telephone, two-way radio, personal digital assistant (PDA), personal computer (PC), laptop computer, home entertainment equipment, et cetera communicates directly or indirectly with other wireless communication devices. For direct communications (also known as point-to-point communications), the participating wireless communication devices tune their receivers and transmitters to the same channel or channels (e.g., one of the plurality of radio frequency (RF) carriers of the wireless communication system) and communicate over that channel(s). For indirect wireless communications, each wireless communication device communicates directly with an associated base station (e.g., for cellular services) and/or an associated access point (e.g., for an in-home or in-building wireless network) via an assigned channel. To complete a communication connection between the wireless communication devices, the associated base stations and/or associated access points communicate with each other directly, via a system controller, via the public switch telephone network, via the Internet, and/or via some other wide area network.
For each wireless communication device to participate in wireless communications, it includes a built-in radio transceiver (i.e., receiver and transmitter) or is coupled to an associated radio transceiver (e.g., a station for in-home and/or in-building wireless communication networks, RF modem, etc.). As is known, the transmitter includes a data modulation stage, one or more intermediate frequency stages, and a power amplifier. The data modulation stage | uspto_backgrounds |
Flurbiprofen is a member of the phenylalkanoic acid derivative family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is primarily indicated as a pre-operative anti-miotic (in an ophthalmic solution) as well as orally for arthritis or dental pain. Side effects are analogous to those of ibuprofen.
It was derived from propionic acid by the research arm of Boots UK during the 1960s, a period which also included the discovery of ibuprofen, indometacin, diclofenac, naproxen, ketoprofen, and sulindac.
It was patented in 1964 by Boots UK and approved for medical use in 1987. It was approved in the US in 1988; the first generic was approved in 1994.

An example of the density profile during a typical SGPE evolution is shown in Fig. \[fig:sim\_data\](a). The noisy density pattern reveals the fluctuating thermal modes in the low energy region, and is similar to the typical results of SGPE evolution in the case of contact interactions (e.g. see Fig. 2 of [@Davis2002a]). However, for this dipolar simulation in the metastable regime, we eventually find that a density spike emerges \[see Fig. \[fig:sim\_data\](b)\], which persists in the field. It is useful to define the instantaneous peak density of the field $$n_{\mathrm{peak}}(t)=\max_{\boldsymbol{\rho}}\left\{|\Psi(\boldsymbol{\rho},t)|^2\right\},$$ i.e. as the maximum density occurring at any grid point. In Fig. \[fig:sim\_data\](c) we quantify the behaviour of $n_{\mathrm{peak}}$ in the evolution leading up to the density spike forming: this formation is clearly revealed by the sudden onset of rapid growth of $n_{\mathrm{peak}}$ at $t\approx45/\omega_z$. To put these values of peak density into context, in Fig. \[fig:sim\_data\](d) we show the probability density function for values of density occurring in the field. This is obtained by making a histogram of the density values occurring at every grid point using the field sampled at a discrete set of times prior to the collapse. This density distribution revels that the most likely density is $\sim4/l_z^2 = n_0$. The thermal fluctuations in the field give rise to the spread in the distribution function around the most likely value, and we emphasize that the spike formation proceeds through values that are out in the tails of this distribution \[as indicated in Fig. \[fig:sim\_data\](d)\].
The time it takes for a spike to form is stochastic and can vary significantly between different SGPE simulations for identical parameters. Spike formation times tend to get shorter the closer the system is to the roton instability boundary and as the temperature increases. Once formed, the spikes grow rapidly as shown in Fig. \[fig:sim\_data\](c). Overall these qualitative observations are consistent with the spikes occurring as a thermally activated crossing of the energy barrier consistent with our simple model of Sec. \[Sec:model\].

Investors given opportunity to invest in iconic commercial asset on Sydney’s North Shore
Sydney, 20 May 2016
Centuria Property Funds Limited (Centuria) today announced that contracts have been exchanged on the Zenith, an institutional grade office asset located at 821 Pacific Highway, Chatswood. A new Centuria unlisted property fund, the Centuria Zenith Fund, will co-invest with global investment firm, BlackRock to acquire the property. The purchase price is $279.1 million. The purchase remains subject to FIRB approval, with settlement expected to occur in late July.
Commenting on the Fund, CEO – Unlisted Property Funds, Jason Huljich, said he was confident the Fund would provide attractive returns to investors due to the strong fundamentals of the location and the property itself.
“Sydney’s North Shore office market is already performing strongly, and we expect that it will continue to experience falling vacancies and strong rental growth over the next few years. The withdrawal of commercial office space in the CBD and North Shore due to residential conversion and the construction of the Metro will drive above trend rental growth and mean excellent total returns for our investor clients.
“Chatswood is a dynamic office, retail and residential area and is the North Shore’s major rail and bus hub. The new Sydney Metro rail infrastructure will further improve connectivity,” he said.
The Zenith is a landmark office asset with a diversified tenant mix. Approximately 40% of its rental income is underpinned by government tenants, and it is currently 94% occupied. It has around 44,000sqm of net lettable area with 800 car spaces and occupies a large 8,000 sqm site.
Mr Huljich said that he was pleased to be able to offer such an iconic asset to the market via an unlisted fund.
“In the current low interest rate environment, there’s no question that investors are becoming increasingly yield-driven. Distribution yields from the Zenith Fund are forecast to be 7.6% in the 2017 financial year, growing to 7.7% in the 2018 financial year. These are very attractive rates for such a high quality asset,” Mr Huljich said.
In conclusion, Mr Huljich said that the choice of The Zenith is in line with Centuria’s investment strategy, which has been primarily focused on Sydney over the past 5 years.

Rehearing Denied December 16, 1963.
*306 Charles E. Davidson (argued), Great Falls, Peter A. Schwabe (argued), Portland Ore., for appellants.
Forrest H. Anderson, Atty. Gen., Helena, N.A. Rotering (argued), Butte, for respondent.
JOHN C. HARRISON, Justice.
This is an appeal by Bozena Vinsova and Antonin Hosa, daughter and son and next of kin of Anna Hosova, deceased, from a judgment and decree entered in the estate of Anna Hosova, deceased, by the Honorable R.J. Nelson, Judge of the District Court of the Eighth Judicial District of the State of Montana, in and for the County of Cascade.
Anna Hosova died intestate at Louny, Czechoslovakia, on June 10, 1946, leaving an estate in Cascade County, consisting of an undivided one-half interest in certain farm lands of substantial value.
On January 27, 1960, Bozena Vinsova and Antonin Hosa, residents of Czechoslovakia, by their attorney filed a petition for determination of heirship and for order declaring reciprocity to exist. In this petition it was alleged inter alia, that reciprocity of inheritance rights between the United States and Czechoslovakia existed at the time of the death of Anna Hosova and still exists as required by R.C.M. 1947, section 91-520, and prayed that their rights as heirs of the decedent be determined by the court.
The State of Montana, on March 22, 1960, filed its answer denying that such reciprocity existed on June 10, 1946, the date of death of the deceased or now exists between the United States and Czechoslovakia and prayed that "the foreign heirs be put upon their proof in establishing heirship and proving reciprocity of inheritance and reciprocity of transfer as required by law."
After due proceedings the matter came on for hearing before the court, sitting without a jury on October 25, 1960. By stipulation of counsel it was agreed that the testimony of expert witnesses and other material evidence on the issue of reciprocity of inheritance would cover not only the date of death of Anna Hosova, that is, June 10, 1946, but also four other cases pending in Montana involving heirs or beneficiaries in Czechoslovakia. The dates of death in these four cases are all later *307 than the date here. However, this appeal concerns | freelaw |
Nonetheless, I know that the key desirable features are (1) to ensure that
hub-like nodes have services from all directions arrive and leave at the same
time, so that connecting passengers don't need to wait for long, and (2) that
a future arrival/departure time at a major node is somewhat predictable
without consulting the full timetable.
For trains, it's also a nice feature that trains of opposite directions will
meet somewhere predictable, so track improvements like double-tracking can be
targeted at places where crossings are likely to occur, which can cost less
than double-tracking the entire line.
Integrated clock-face timetables work best when rigid, but it requires the
spacetime of transport geography to fit into a regular pattern. But this can
mean that some improvements that would result in faster service on portions of
the network would put the the network out of sync. Because of this
complication, such incremental improvements may not happen.

For simplicity's sake assume we have two short train lines, one takes one hour
from start to finish, one takes two hours. They always meet at the same point,
everything works out. But if you can improve the track to speed up line 1 by
10 minutes everything goes out of sync.

A new species of Philautus is described from western Sarawak. The new species was collected in lower montane forest in two national parks in Sarawak and recorded from another park. It differs from its congeners by a unique combination of morphological characters, including a long, acuminate snout, long legs, and comparatively extensive toe webbing. The advertisement call of the new species differs from all calls of other species that have been analyzed so far. Comparison of the mitochondrial 16S | pubmed_abstracts |
In our study, NP dosimetry was not the primary focus, since we aimed at comparing the NP impact on cells among different labs (and not of NP) using identical cell lines and culture medium, identical NP suspensions with verified colloidal stability. Due to the homogeneity of experimental parameters, the NP effective density, fate and transport behavior were expected to be comparable among all the labs involved.
Interestingly, it turned out in the inter-laboratory experiments that small variations of the transfer process for the SiO~2~ NPs can strongly affect the stability and, hence, aggregation state of the NPs in cell culture medium. It took several rounds of careful testing and refining, until NPs from the same batch had the same properties after re-dispersion in the individual labs. Many of the factors that were found to have a distinct impact on the state of the NPs are often not been considered in similar experiments involving single or fewer laboratories. Specifically, it was observed i. e., that the power of the ultrasonic bath, an incomplete immersion of the centrifuge tubes with the NP in the ultrasonic bath, different centrifugal accelerations, and even the geometry of the centrifuge tubes, i.e. the use of small (1--3 mL) conically shaped centrifuge tubes instead of round bottomed or larger conical ones resulted in substantially aggregated samples with hydrodynamic diameters of up to 1000 nm. The impact of sonication parameters such as power output, frequency and sample volume on nanoparticle agglomeration and stability in liquid dispersions has already been shown by other authors^[@CR28]--[@CR30]^. The observed drastic effect of the container shape on the sonication processes has not been reported so far. Utmost care should also be taken whenever mailing NPs between laboratories by standard mail, as the conditions during transport are frequently uncontrolled and not reproducible, if the carrier is not well selected. Low (less than \<0 °C) and high temperatures (\>40 °C) lead to a distinct alteration of the aqueous dispersion of silica nanoparticles. Only the careful elimination of all thermal impact on the samples leads to reliable results by thoroughly standardizing the transport and dispersion procedures. This allowed us to work with high standard samples. In this context it should also be pointed out that such problems can be strongly related to the individual properties of different NPs: the polymer NPs used in this study showed reproducible properties and excellent colloidal stability already in the first round of shipment to the individual groups indicating that they are less prone to be affected by environmental factors such as | pubmed_central |
How to use UICollectionViewController in storyboard while still supporting ios 5.1?
It is a best practice to detect if a certain feature's class exists and degrade user's features depending on availability. I created UICollectionView in storyboard and a standard tableview to support ios 5.1 users. I then simply check if the user has this feature and segue to the appropriate scene. However, when I now try to compile my code I get a "dyld: Symbol not found: _UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader" This seems very anti-pattern of apple to not allow ios6.0 features in storyboard with a ios 5.1 deployment target.
if ([UICollectionView class]) {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"UserShow" sender:self];
} else {
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"UserShowTable" sender:self];
}
The above seems like a pretty reasonable approach to me...

A controller is designed to provide the same functionality as UICollectionController of iOS 6 but still supports to iOS 4/5
What developer is telling
PSTCollectionView Open Source, 100% API compatible replacement of
UICollectionView for iOS4.3+
You want to use UICollectionView, but still need to support iOS4/5?
Then you'll gonna love this project. I've originally written it for
PSPDFKit, my iOS PDF framework that supports text selection and
annotations, but this project seemed way to useful for others to to
keep it for myself :) Plus, I would love the influx of new gridviews
to stop. Better just write layout managers and build on a great
codebase.
The goal is to use PSTCollectionView on iOS 4/5 as a fallback and
switch to UICollectionView on iOS6. We even use certain runtime tricks
to create UICollectionView at runtime for older versions of iOS.
Ideally, you just link the files and everything works on older
systems. Practically, it's not that easy, and especially when you're
using subclasses of UICollectionView-classes | stackexchange |
To display the list of available buyer and seller checking accounts via the LCD display, an electronic message is sent from a data processing center or other processor back to the personal identification apparatus. This additional signal transmission, which occurs for each transaction, is time consuming and represents inefficient use of network bandwidth, as this extra messaging may further clutter already congested networks.
Alternatively, to select an account, a user employs the keypad to enter a code, corresponding to a desired account. However, requiring users to remember and enter index codes is relatively user-unfriendly, awkward, error-prone, and slow.
Patents related to U.S. Pat. No. 6,581,042 include the following by Pare, Jr., et al.: U.S. Pat. No. 6,269,348, entitled, TOKENLESS BIOMETRIC ELECTRONIC DEBIT AND CREDIT TRANSACTIONS; U.S. Pat.

No. 6,192,142, entitled TOKENLESS BIOMETRIC ELECTRONIC STORED VALUE TRANSACTIONS; and associated parent patents. Generally, these systems suffer from many of the aforementioned shortcomings of U.S. Pat. No. 6,581,042 and may further require use of an additional Personal Identification Number (PIN) that is manually entered via a keypad or other data-entry device. Unfortunately, users often forget pin codes, especially when users have several accounts, each having different codes.
Hence, in addition to requiring that users provide biometric samples, existing biometric transaction systems often require buyers and sellers to manually enter input identification codes and to manually select accounts and to approve or cancel transactions. However, such additional user input may be inconvenient and may delay shopping lines.
Furthermore, existing systems may require excessive additional infrastructure, such as processors, devices, and communication lines. The systems often do not maximize use of existing credit and ATM networks, terminals, machines, and other infrastructure. Furthermore, existing authentication and payment systems, ranging from smart cards to tokenless systems, often lack mechanisms to significantly reduce overall time required to transact business.

Health concerns
Smoke-related
Concerns have been raised as to the toxicity of the black smoke. Residents living in nearby apartments claimed that their apartments smelled of "burning plastic" and induced nausea and other symptoms. A spokesperson for the Auckland District Health Board said there had been no smoke-related hospital admissions during the first night that the fire burned, however a public health alert was issued by the Auckland Regional Public Health Service advising residents to stay away from the smoke where possible. Those who were near the site began to wear face masks. By Thursday, officials advised nearby residents to keep windows closed and shut down external ventilators in their buildings if necessary.
Water pollution
Contaminated water that had collected in the basement of the building was pumped out into the Viaduct harbour. Reports indicated there were approximately 100 vehicles parked in the basement and submerged in the water. Auckland Council issued a safety warning to residents as toxicology tests were being conducted to determine if the water posed a threat to human health or sealife.
Disruption of media broadcasts
On 22 October, 1 News continued to broadcast from its headquarters, on the same block as the fire. Just before the morning show Breakfast went to air on 23 October, they were evacuated. BBC World News aired on TVNZ 1 for 15 minutes, before Breakfast came on air, broadcasting from the streets and in a backup studio: the TVNZ BCP site, which is located under the Spark NZ building down the road from the TVNZ studios. 1 News At Midday was reduced to a five minute bulletin, and Te Karere and 1 News Tonight were cancelled; 1 News At 6pm was a full 60-minute bulletin. On 23 October, programming returned to normal, but still from the backup studio. Lotto New Zealand could not access their studio at TVNZ or their regular draw machines, so the Wednesday 23 October draw was conducted off-air at their Newmarket headquarters using their backup random number generator. It was the first time since Lotto began in 1987 that the draw was conducted completely off-air. They returned to their normal site on 30 October.
Aftermath
Political response
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern publicly praised the firefighters involved in the effort, describing them as "incredibly professional" and insisting that it would not change plans for the APEC conference in 2021. She visited the site alongside Mayor of Auckland Phil Goff, who also praised firefighters, stating | wikipedia_en |

Can cN0 and pCR limit axillary surgery in some breast cancer patients?
CHICAGO – Patients with clinically node-negative HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who achieve a pathological complete response in the breast after neoadjuvant chemotherapy could benefit from clinical trials to evaluate the option of omitting axillary node surgery in this population, according to a retrospective analysis of more than 22,000 cases in the National Cancer Database reported at the Society of Surgical Oncology Annual Cancer Symposium.
Dr. Judy C. Boughey
“With advances in systemic treatment options and targeted therapy, we are seeing high pathological response rates in patients with breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, especially in patients with HER2+ disease and patients with TNBC,” senior author Judy C. Boughey, MD, professor of surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn, said in an interview. “This is prompting the question of whether surgery on the breast and on the lymph nodes is always required and whether we can identify patients who have had an excellent response and could potentially avoid surgery.”
The analysis involved 22,695 patients who had clinical T1 and T2 disease and had NAC followed by surgery from 2010 to 2014. The goal, she said, was to evaluate rates of nodal positivity (ypN+) in patients with and without a pathological complete response (pCR) following NAC by tumor subtype across both academic and community settings.
“Response rates to NAC have increased,” Dr. Barron said. She cited previous reports that showed response rates ranging from 9%-13% for anthracyclines to 19%-26% with the addition of taxanes, and to 60%-70% with the addition of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in HER2+ disease. “Furthermore, we know that tumor biology affects response rates, with TNBC and HER2+ disease having the highest rates of pathologic complete response,” she said.
“In the current era when we frequently operate on patients, we find no residual cancer in the tissue at the time of surgery,” Dr. Barron said. “The question arises as to whether we can limit surgery in patients with a pathological complete response.” While imaging has limited ability to reliably detect pCR with 100% specificity, she noted that recent trials have shown the potential of tumor-bed biopsy to identify pCR in patients after NAC (Ann Surg.

The operating agreement also addressed the treatment of capital accounts in the event a
member withdrew from DWP. Article 9.5 provided:
Withdrawal. A Member may withdraw from the Company for any reason
after ninety (90) days’ written notice to the Company and remaining
Members. The Company shall pay to such Withdrawing Member an
amount equal to the value of such Withdrawing Member’s Capital Account
balance as of his date of withdrawal . . . within six (6) months of the
determination of such amount.
On December 31, 2010, Mr. Warner withdrew as a member of DWP with a
negative balance in his capital account in the amount of $399,657.00. Mr. Warner did
not pay DWP the negative balance in his capital account when he withdrew from the
company. In 2011, Mr. Warner received an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Schedule
K-1 Form issued by DWP depicting income to him in the amount of the capital account
deficit. Wayne Vanderford, the certified public accountant for DWP, prepared the 2011
Schedule K-1.
DWP sent a letter to Mr. Warner’s attorney on February 8, 2012, demanding that
Mr. Warner pay to the company the negative balance in his capital account or dispute the
claim and provide documentation supporting his position. When Mr. Warner failed either
to pay DWP for the negative balance or dispute the claim, DWP initiated this lawsuit on
June 12, 2012, asserting claims for unjust enrichment and breach of the operating
agreement.
Following discovery, DWP filed a motion for partial summary judgment seeking a
judgment against Mr. Warner for the negative capital account balance pursuant to Article
9.5 of the operating agreement. Recognizing that Article 9.5 does not address the
obligation of a withdrawing member to reimburse DWP for a capital account deficit upon
withdrawal, DWP asserted that it was only “logical and equitable” for such an obligation
to exist because DWP had an obligation to pay a withdrawing member’s positive capital
account balance at the time of withdrawal. The trial court agreed and, on March 17,
2015, it entered an order granting DWP partial summary judgment. The trial court

So if you were still wondering if ARM isn't directly lined up in Intel's
sights, this should dispel that notion.
For a couple of years now I've noted that one advantage ARM had that seemed
quite durable was you could put it into the SOC of your own design, but you
could not do that with an x86 chip. If Intel is willing to allow that it is a
potent weapon.

Can someone knowledgeable comment on whether Intel's foray into the realm of
ARM and embedded systems is significant? Will anything substantial change as a

Yep. Fond memories of writing an execution trace disassembler for the i960CA

The present research investigated the roles of identity fusion and impulsiveness in extreme sacrifices for romantic partners. After completing questionnaires assessing identity fusion, inclusion of other in the self, passionate love, and communal orientation, participants responded to the trolley dilemma in which they could save their partner by sacrificing themselves. Participants in the time-pressure condition were given eight-seconds to respond to the dilemma; the other group had no time constraints. Identity fusion was the only variable that significantly predicted ultimate sacrifice. Hur | pubmed_abstracts |
Generell bietet eine Telefonkonferenz den Vorteil, dass die teilweise zeit- und kostenaufwendige An- und Abfahrt wegfällt und somit die zeitlichen und finanziellen Ressourcen aller Teilnehmer effektiver genutzt werden können. Durch standardisierte Arbeitsweise konnte seit Einführung der EpiLag der wöchentliche zeitliche Aufwand bei der Vorbereitung reduziert werden.
Schlussfolgerung {#Sec13}
================
Das Epidemic Intelligence (EI)-Konzept der EpiLag stellt den Teilnehmern Meldungen über Ereignisse aus der indikatorbasierten Surveillance sowie aus der eventbasierten Surveillance aus unterschiedlichen Quellen zur Verfügung. Informationen aus beiden Komponenten können mithilfe der EpiLag beschleunigt weitergegeben und evaluiert werden. Somit können auch Public-Health-Maßnahmen rascher eingeleitet werden. Mit Einführung der EpiLag wurde eine Informationslücke geschlossen.
Die Implementierung eines nationalen EI-Surveillance-Systems sollte spezifisch auf Monitoring und Evaluation von Infektionskrankheiten, die die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung bedrohen, zugeschnitten sein \[[@CR19]\]. Da sich die EpiLag als infektionsepidemiologische Plattform zwischen nationaler Ebene (RKI) und den zuständigen Landesgesundheitsbehörden bewährt hat, könnten auch zwischen den zuständigen Landesgesundheitsbehörden und lokalen Gesundheitsämtern Telefonkonferenzen eingerichtet werden, auf denen die Teilnehmer regelmäßig, strukturiert und zeitnah infektionsepidemiologische Ereignisse diskutieren.

Citrus fruits have long been recognized as valuable sources of important nutrients. More recently, health benefits and disease-retarding or -treating benefits of citrus sources have come to be more fully recognized as advantageous and beneficial when ingested. Accordingly, there is a general belief that increasing the intake of citrus-originating foods is a beneficial and important objective in the overall scheme of human health. Citrus fruits also are enjoyed by many consumers simply because they are flavorful.
One convenient way to ingest citrus products is in the form of juice. Juice can be made easily and can be transported and consumed conveniently. Fresh, or ‘not-from-concentrate’ juice, is prized for its flavor and quality. Juice also can be concentrated and then reconstituted at the consumer's convenience. Concentrated juice also is distributed from the source to consumer in an efficient and cost-effective way. Also, juice may be more easily consumed than fruit by persons who have difficulty eating solid foods.
However, some consumers dislike certain characteristics of citrus juices, such as bitterness, acidity, off-flavor notes, astringency, browning, and a thick consistency. All citrus fruits, including grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, limes, and lemons, can present these concerns. Some consumers prefer juices that have a low level of sweetness, whereas others prefer a very sweet product. Further, it often is difficult to achieve consistency in the flavor characteristics, for example, from early in the season to late in the season.
Bitterness often is a primary concern for consumers. A low level of bitterness may provide a desirable contribution to the organoleptic properties and characteristics of juice for many consumers. Such consumers enjoy the piquant flavor note of a low level of bitterness. However, most consumers also agree that excessive bitterness adversely affects the organoleptic properties and characteristics of juice, making it unpleasant to consume. Consumers often also associate bitterness with lack of freshness, with concentrated juice, and/or with lower quality juice.
Bitter flavors are found in each kind of citrus fruits in varying quantities. There are differences in the concentrations of these flavors between cultivars of the same fruit and between fruits of the same cultivar from early in the season to late in the season. Therefore, the source of the fruit, the time of the season, and other variables, affect the concentrations of bitter flavors in fruit.
Astringency is a characteristic of juices, particularly citrus juices, that consumers | uspto_backgrounds |
Fania Recording contract and Salsa TV show
The group received much attention and soon became the opening act for Salsa luminaries such as Willie Colon, Larry Harlow, Ray Barretto and Eddie Palmieri. This exposure soon led to a recording contract with the reigning giant of the Salsa industry, Fania Records. Their debut album, "Love Is…Seguida" was released in 1974 and was well received by both the Salsa and Rock media in New York and Puerto Rico. The New York Newspaper "THE VILLAGE VOICE" Called SEGUIDA "THE SON'S OF SANTANA". The album scored a hit with “Mambo Rock”, a scorching mambo that received a great deal of exposure on both Rock and Salsa radio stations. The song became the theme for The Izzy Sanabria "Salsa" TV Show that featured Seguida as its house band. They opened the now legendary "Fania All-Stars" concert at Yankee Stadium, which ended in crowd pandemonium during Ray Barretto's and Mongo Santamaria's infamous conga duel in August 1973.
Tour and 2nd Album
The group then went LIVE IN QUAD from Electric Lady Studios as part of New York radio station WXQR's live concert series. In September 1976, they were featured at the Village Gate's Salsa Meets Jazz series. From there, Seguida took off on a tour of Northeast and was the opening act for Sly and the Family Stone, James Taylor, Richie Havens, Ace, Crown Height Affair and Elephants Memory. In the summer of 1976, Seguida took to the studio again and delivered their second album, "On Our Way To Tomorrow"...Seguida. This album was composed during the height of the Disco era and is definitely heard on Side A of the album. Side B however, returned Seguida back to form with an outstanding collection of songs that took Latin Rock to a plateau never before reached. The song “Yo Nunca Te Olvidare” is considered to be groundbreaking in its use of a totally Salsa format with English lyrics at its head, and Spanish vocal soneros during its montuno and solo sections. The song received much international airplay, and is considered by many to be the template for many of today's modern Salsa crossovers.

Consider a CO of mass $M_{co}$ in the core of a cluster containing $N_{*}$ single stars (for a discussion of binaries, see below). A tidal disruption will take place if the distance of closest approach between this CO and a star is less than the tidal radius $R_{{\rm t}}$. If all the ordinary stars had a mass $M_{*}$, the tidal disruption rate from the one CO would be $$\dot{p}_{co}(R_{t},\sigma)=2\pi G(M_{co}+M_{*})N_{*}R_{t}\sigma^{-1}V_{c}^{-1}$$ where $\sigma$ is the relative velocity dispersion and the core volume $V_{{\rm c}}$ can be written in terms of the core radius $R_{{\rm c}}$ of the GC as $V_{{\rm c}}=4\pi R_{{\rm c}}^{3}/3$. Here we are assuming that the collision cross section is dominated by gravitational focusing. The total disruption rate in a single GC is then $$\Gamma_{co}\approx\dot{p}_{co}N_{co}\approx\dot{p}_{co}n_{0}f_{co}V_{{\rm c}},$$ where $N_{co}$ is the total number of COs in the GC core, $n_{0}$ is the number density of stars in the core, and $f_{co}$ is the fraction of COs in the stellar population (see [@1992ApJ...396..587D]).
Typical GC cores have densities of $n_{0}\simeq10^{5}\:{\rm pc}^{-3}$, and a typical core radius $R_{c}=1\:{\rm pc}$ [@pry+93; @gne+97]. Typical velocity dispersions in GC cores are roughly $\sigma\simeq20\:{\rm km\:s}^{-1}$ (see e.g. @1992ApJ...396..587D). The fraction of COs in the stellar population is taken to be $f_{{\rm NS}}=0.017$ and $f_{{\rm BH}}=0.012$ (taking a Salpeter mass function between $0.6-120$ ${\rm M_{\odot}}$ ; NSs are assumed to originate from stars of mass between $8-15$ ${\rm M_{\odot}}$ and BHs are assume to originate from stars more massive than $15$ ${\rm M_{\odot}}$); however, due to NS natal kicks and binary heating of BH | arxiv |

Anatomy of a thunderstorm
Thunderstorms begin when a parcel of warm, moist air begins to rise. As the air expands and cools, the water vapour within it condenses and forms a cloud (When air masses collide). If there is sufficient atmospheric instability, the heat released by condensation will keep the air inside the cloud warmer than the air surrounding it, enabling it to grow larger and higher. The power of the rising air, or updraft, keeps millions of water droplets in suspension until they become so heavy they fall as rain.
Above the freezing line (typically 12,000 to 15,000 m above the ground in summer), the droplets form supercooled ice crystals that can grow into hailstones. When the thundercloud reaches the cumulonimbus stage and hits the tropopause (where temperature stops decreasing with height, around 12,000 m in summer), the jet stream tugs the cloud into its famous “anvil” shape, and the rising air in the cloud falls back to earth in cool, dry currents of air surrounding the warm, moist core of the storm. These downdrafts can pool at the bottom of the thunderstorm and create microbursts — brief, violent gusts of wind and rain. When the static buildup between the clashing air masses in a thunderstorm (the downdrafts carry a positive charge; the updrafts a negative one) triggers an electrical discharge, lightning forks through the sky at 145,000 km/s. The lightning heats the surrounding air, which expands at supersonic speeds, creating the mighty crashes we recognize as thunder.

South Korea was ruled by a brutal dictatorship _for decades_ , in a way not so
different from Egypt today. Yet that did not stop it from developing.
Even North Korea fares a lot better than many third world countries that have

Korea sucks is because of the pressures/blockades imposed on it by the US

In relative terms, humans and animals use comparable amounts of antimicrobials \[118 mg/PCU and 133 mg/kg, respectively ([@cit0014])\], but given that the biomass of animals raised for food exceeds by far the biomass of humans, new resistant mutations are more likely to arise in animals. Furthermore, a central distinction between animals and humans is the purpose of antimicrobial use. Unlike in humans, antimicrobial use in animals is primarily intended for growth promotion and mass prophylaxis. These uses are often administered both through feed, directly targeting the gut, and in low-dose patterns that promote the evolution of resistance ([@cit0015]). These factors suggest that the food animal reservoir is a greater source of resistance genes than humans. However, the subsequent spread of those genes to humans follows complex pathways, and recent work has highlighted that curtailing antimicrobial use in animals alone will not suffice to contain AMR in humans ([@cit0016]).
{#f0001}
GLOBAL SOLUTIONS {#sec2}
================
The use of antimicrobials in food animals could be reduced by 2030 between *9* and 80% with effective policies compared with a business-as-usual target (BAU) of continued growth of the livestock sector with current levels of antimicrobial use (see the graph). This could be achieved either by reducing the quantity of antimicrobial used per animal (targets 1 and 3) or the number of animals that we raise for food (target 2).
*Regulations.* A global regulation putting a cap of 50 mg of antimicrobials per PCU per year, the current global average amount, could reduce total consumption by 64% (target 1A). If only countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and China were to adopt this regulation, the global consumption in 2030 would already be reduced by 60% (target 1B). In the short term, target 1B may be preferred because it would have substantial impact on global consumption without targeting vulnerable farmers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who rely on the ability to treat livestock for subsistence ([@cit0017]). In some high-income countries, regulatory approaches have achieved substantial reduction in antimicrobial use within a few years and at moderate costs.

empty = (hv.Points(np.random.rand(0, 2)) * hv.Curve(np.random.rand(0, 2))).relabel('No selection')

xs = np.linspace(*scatter.range(0)+(2,))
reg = slope*xs+intercep
return (scatter * hv.Curve((xs, reg))).relabel('r2: %.3f' % slope)
Now, we create the DynamicMap which dynamically loads the regression curve data.
reg = hv.DynamicMap(regression, kdims=[], streams=[stream])
# Ignoring annotation for average - it is not relevant here.
average = hv.Curve(points, 'Date', 'r2').aggregate(function=np.mean)

In the present invention, adduct formation is prevented/minimized by performing at least one of the following steps in a process for making copolymers from tertiary amino monomers and vinyl-functional monomers:
1. Avoid formation of adduct by separating the tertiary amino monomer (e.g. dimethylaminoethyl(meth)acrylate) from the vinyl-functional monomer prior to polymerization.
2. Avoid formation of adduct by avoiding contact of water with a mixture of the tertiary amino monomer and the vinyl-functional monomer prior to polymerization.
3. Conduct polymerization at a high temperature (typically about 70 to about 90xc2x0 C., preferably about 80 to about 90xc2x0 C.) and at a suitable pH (typically about 3 to about 10, preferably about 4 to about 8, most preferably about 4 to about 6) to cause the adduct formed to be unstable and revert to monomers. Thus, monomers bound by the adduct will be liberated to copolymerize.
Preferably, acid, e.g., mineral acid or citric acid, which is one of the reactants is fed to the reactor before the monomers.
Thus, the present invention provides methods for making compositions for hand dishwashing, personal care, particularly hand soaps, body washes, shampoos, shaving creams, shaving gels and dephiliatories, which have improved foam retention, improved oil field chemicals, agricultural chemicals, fire-fighting foam, detergents, mining chemicals, flocculants and coagulants.
The present process has many advantages. Conventional processes attempt to reduce monomers by employing high initiator concentration and long reaction times. In contrast, the present invention reduces monomer with less initiator and less reaction time than conventional processes for producing low residual monomer polymers. This saves processing time conventionally needed to react residual monomers and saves energy. Also, the present process has a synergistic benefit because the lower concentration of ingredients causes adducts to dissociate faster in the present process.
These and other objects, features and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a reading of the following detailed description and the appended claims.

The service began running on 17 February 2002 and is one of the fastest train services in India, traversing the 1002 km distance in under fourteen hours, which puts it with likes of Patna, Dibrugarh, Tripura, Howarh Rajdhanis. It is faster than the previous Magadh Express Patna-New Delhi service and the Vikramshila Express, Shramjeevi express on the same route.
This train is also known as "Janta ki Rajdhani" as its fare is less than that of Rajdhani but matches it in speed and punctuality. Punctuality dents during winters slightly due to fog.
Sampoorna Kranti Express is currently the fastest train in the Superfast category of Indian Railways. The train makes only three stops between Patna and New Delhi: at Kanpur Central, Mirzapur and Mughalsarai(also known as Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction ). The train is hauled by WAP7 Engine. It has LHB coaches. It is now operated on HOG system (Hotel Load) in which the power to coaches is provided directly from locomotive instead of EOGs (Power Cars). It is the first superfast train in India to have a LHB Rake. During its run with ICF coaches it ran with the maximum length permitted in Indian Railway of 24 coaches. Now, with LHB Coaches the composition of the train carriages is as follows:
class = AC 1 Tier (01), AC 2 Tier (02), AC 3 Tier (03), Sleeper 3 Tier (09), Unreserved seating (03) Pantry Car (01) EOG (02) (Total=22 Coaches). It is among the top priority trains of Indian Railways and does speeds of 130 km/hour from 8 August 2015.
This Train Has Got Many Firsts To Its Name-
1st Non AC Superfast train to get LHB coaches.
1st Non AC Superfast train to run at a maximum speed of 130 km/h.
1st Non AC Superfast ICF Train to run at a maximum speed of 115 km/h as opposed to 110 km/h.
Traction
This train hauled by WAP 7 of Kanpur(CNB) or Ghaziabad(GZB) based locomotive end to end.

Top Gear is to be investigated by media watchdog Ofcom over Jeremy Clarkson's use of the word 'pikey', despite the BBC Trust having previously cleared the show
The word, which is used as a derogatory term for gipsies or travellers, had been scrawled on a sign reading 'Pikey's Peak', and used in a joke at Richard Hammond's expense
Viewers said the censoring of the February performance, shown on a 20 second delay with the offensive words and phrases muted, left it sounding 'like Morse code', with some questioning why it ever went ahead if so much of the song had to be censored.
However, despite the muting, some viewers said they could still hear the N-word on at least three occasions, while another rapper sharing the stage with West was heard to say 's***'.

As well as complaints from the audience at home, fellow musician Lionel Richie, who attended the show, was left unimpressed, and criticised West for his use of the N-Word.
However, Ofcom said it will not be investigating the viewers' complaints.
'We received a number of complaints that Kanye West’s language, shortly after the watershed, was offensive but we will not be taking the matter forward for investigation,' said an Ofcom spokesman.
'Having carefully assessed these complaints, we noted that before the programme ITV took steps to ensure that offensive language was not used, and during the programme to mute the majority of it'.
But the watchdog is investigating the use of 'pikey' in Top Gear, where it was scrawled on a sign reading 'Pikey's Peak', and used in a joke at Richard Hammond's expense.
Ofcom said today it will take no action over an expletive-laden Kanye West performance at this year's Brit awards (pictured)
The BBC Trust backed the show, saying there had been 'no intended racist reference', but Ofcom announced today it would be investigating the episode, which was broadcast in February last year.
The complaint to Ofcom was lodged by the Traveller Movement charity, which had initially complained to the BBC Trust - and said it was 'horrified' by the resulting decision.

"Past local miscellaneous service shall be converted to local safety service if the past service:

"(b) Was rendered in a position that has subsequently been reclassified as a local safety position; and

[6] Another formulation is provided in de Sloovere, Textual Interpretation of Statutes (1934) 11 N.Y.U.L.Q. Rev. 538; reprinted in 2B Sutherland Statutory Construction (5th ed. 1992) 315, 319 [Textual Interpretation]): "[T]he real problem of interpretation in most cases is ... the making of a satisfactory choice from the several possible meanings that the text will bear, the choice may well be one between literalness, logic, history, analysis, grammar, rhetoric, or a meaning derived from aids extrinsic of the text. But which ever is chosen, it must be justified by the whole text by fair use of language."
[7] "The classical statement is in William v. Berkeley, Plow 223, 231, (1601): `Whoever would consider an act well ought always have particular regard to the intent of it, and accordingly as the intent appears, he ought to construe the words.' It simply means that as the legislative intent appears from the text or context or as light may be thrown upon them by extrinsic aids one ought to construe the words." (Textual Interpretation, supra, at pp. 328-329.)
[8] Sacramento suggests that there is an absurdity presented because, in light of the subsequent legislation, persons hired as fire prevention, training, and investigation employees after it became effective are entitled to "local safety membership" only at the election of the local agency. This only aids a claim that the subsequent legislation is absurd. However, even as to that, reducing pension benefits for future employees presents no absurdity. (See generally, Claypool v. Wilson (1992) 4 Cal. App.4th 646, 669-670 [6 Cal. Rptr.2d 77].)

The sentence you quoted was about historians. I'm pretty sure your reply makes

"Presumably a society run by engineers will at least not neglect to invest in
infrastructure like we do."
Are you considering all of China? I'm pretty sure the U.S. overall
infrastructure is still better than theirs. They wouldn't build up anything
that wouldn't profit the state.
Maybe eventually that will change.
~~~
c1sc0
Maybe not now but it certainly _will_ be in a few years for the simple reason
that they rebuild everything from scratch and can leapfrog technologies. China
doesn't care about being backwards-compatible: they'll just tear down &
rebuild whole districts every few years. And they still have the cheap labour
to do it at a far faster pace than _any_ public infrastructure project in the
western world.

gbog
Yes, I second that (living in China, they redo ring roads overnight here). I
also heard that in China in one year they currently build more kilometers of
_bridges_ than in US they build kilometers of highways. (No link to back that,
just a hearsay.)
~~~
mrtron
Does China have have many American style highways? When I visited Beijing and
area - the multilane roads weren't connected with overpasses and ramps like
the American system. This resulted in incredibly slow traffic. Also results in
things like the 100km+ traffic jam they had this summer.
Their subway system in Beijing was very large and well connected but was still
overcrowded to the point of being unusable during rush hour.
Such a large population - must be an engineers dream.
~~~
gbog
I had the same feeling when visiting New-York. Their highways have overpasses.
What you saw in Beijing is probably not highways, it is just the normal
8-lanes roads that squares the city. Traffic is a mess in the city, for sure.
I heard they sell 1000 new cars everyday in Beijing, so it is not an easy task
to dissolve the jam. They have a law forbidding every car one day per week,
based on your plate number, so wealthy people buy two, and less wealthy use
public transport or bike once a week at least. | hackernews |
Modern techniques for the management of recurrent cardiac arrhythmias are frequently based on the results of electrophysiology studies in a cardiac catheterization laboratory. Among the most important yet difficult and time consuming aspects of these studies are the observation and accurate measurement of the timing of intracardiac electrograms. Certain preliminary observation must be made during the procedure itself (online) while more detailed analysis is done later (offline) by working through the length strip chart recording with a pair of calipers and millimeter scale.

The effect of an anabolic steroid on canine left ventricular function was studied by catheterization exposing control (n = 7) and methandienone-treated (n = 6) dogs to pacing, volume and isoproterenol tests at the beginning of the experiment and 6 weeks later. The physical performance of the animals was evaluated by submaximal exercise test (SMT), in which the steroid-treated dogs had lower heart rate than the sedentary controls (P less than 0.001).

Why did the gods send the flood in The Epic of Gilgamesh?
A previous question asks about the comparative timescale of the flood story that appears in the Book of Genesis and the one that appears in the Epic of Gilgamesh. An interesting apparent difference is that Noah was told to save himself by the same God who sent the flood, while Utnapishtim was told by Enki (Ea) who was only one of many gods.
In the Biblical flood, God wishes to destroy both humanity and the earth, because of the corruption and violence that had engulfed both due to the evil of humans (Genesis 6:9). Was there a similar motivation for the Mesopotamian flood myth? Did the gods (presumably plural) wish to destroy both humanity and the earth, or only the former, and was it because of the evil of people? Did they all sanction Utnapishtim's survival as a "good man", or was he more of a "rebel" against the will of the gods?
A:
In the "standard version" of the Babylonian epic (see the translation by Andrew George, Penguin, 1999), it is not very clear. After the gods discover that Uta-napishti has survived the flood, Ea upbraids Enlil for sending the flood without first talking to the other gods (emphasis mine):
Instead of your causing the Deluge,
a lion could have risen, and diminished the people!
Instead of your causing the Deluge,
a wolf could have risen, and diminished the people!
Instead of your causing the Deluge,
a famine could have happened, and slaughtered the land!
Instead of your causing the Deluge,
the Plague God could have risen, and slaughtered the land!
Apparently, Enlil send the flood to "diminish the people". But this raises another question: Why did Enlil want to "diminish" the people in the first place?
The standard version of the epic keeps silent on this matter, so we need to turn to another Babylonian story, namely the The Epic of Atraḥasis (sometimes spelled Atram-hasis). This story tells us that the gods created man in order to delegate the hard work to them: "Create a human being, that he bear the yoke".

Wire bonding and flip-chip interconnection are two schemes used for making contact to the die bond pads. In wire bonding, the die is attached to a substrate in a face-upwards orientation and fine wire is connected to each bond pad by a solid state joining method such as ultrasonic welding or thermo-compression diffusion bonding. In flip-chip interconnection, lumps of metal are placed on each bond pad. The die is then inverted so the metal lumps provide both the electrical pathway between the bond pads and the substrate as well as the mechanical attachment of the die to the substrate. There are many variations of the flip-chip process, but one common configuration is to use solder for the lumps of metal and fusion of the solder as the method of fastening it to the bond pads and the substrate. When it melts the solder flows to form truncated spheres. Depending on the dimensions of the solder sphere this is referred to as a ball grid array (BGA) interface or a micro ball grid array (μBGA) interface.
Semiconductor devices used as image sensors usually require a face-up orientation such that the scene of interest can be focused (or projected) on the active circuitry. For commercial reasons, it is often desirable that the die are connected to the substrate using a BGA or μBGA interface.
One approach to connect the die bond pads on the front face of the die to a BGA interface on the rear face of the die is to provide wiring traces that extends from the die bond pads over the front face of the die, down the sides of the die and onto the rear face of the die. This type of lead contact is often referred to as a “T-style contact” because the wiring trace on the edge of the die and the wiring trace on the front face of the die appears to form a “T” where they join. FIGS. 2a and 2b illustrate an example of a T-style contact.
FIG. 2a shows a schematic frontal 200 view and FIG. 2b a cross-sectional view 250 of a single T-style contact of a semiconductor package. The die is drawn upside down so the front face 201/251 is towards the bottom of the page and the rear face 202/252 towards the top of the page. A bond pad 203/253 on the front face connects to the wiring trace 204/254 on the edge of the die. The wiring trace continues to a land 205/255 on the rear face, where it joins | uspto_backgrounds |
The season 2017 proved to be Howell's most disappointing on tour and, speaking in December, said it had been 'two years of hell'. His season was ravaged by back and wrist injuries and he made only five halfway cuts from 20 events, the fewest he has ever made in a whole season resulting in his worst ever Order of Merit ranking.
He suffered another injury setback in January 2018 with a shoulder injury forcing him to retire from the BMW South African Open.
At the Nordea Masters in August 2018, Howell became just the tenth player in the European Tour's history to reach 600 career appearances.
Howell was a member of the winning European Ryder Cup teams in 2004 and 2006. As a member of the Great Britain & Ireland team in the Seve Trophy he was on the losing side in 2000, but a winner in 2003. He has also represented Europe at the Royal Trophy twice in 2006 and 2013 and has been on the winning side on both occasions. He came from 3 down with 4 to play to win his singles match in 2013 against Kim Hyung-sung as Europe pulled off an impressive fightback.
In 2014, Howell was named as part of a five-man selection panel deciding Europe's 2016 Ryder Cup captain. The panel unanimously appointed Darren Clarke to the role.
In January 2017, it was announced that Howell had been voted unanimously to succeed Thomas Bjørn as chairman of the European Tour's Tournament Committee.
Howell is represented by Octagon.
He also occasionally works for Sky Sports as a commentator and analyst as well as writing regular columns for The Golf Paper and Worldwide Golf. He is sponsored by Titleist and plays with the Titleist ProV1x ball. He was sponsored by Adams Golf for three years from May 2013 but has since returned to TaylorMade.

Generalized torsion elements
----------------------------
\[lem:rel\] In $G$, $[a,b\bar{a}b^{n-1}\bar{a}b]=1$.
The relation of (\[eq:p\]) gives $U a^b = a^{\bar{b}} U$, where $U=a \bar{b} ^{n-1} a$. Hence we have $U^b a^{b^2}=aU^b$, so $a=a^{b^2 \bar{U}^b}$. This gives $[a,b^2\bar{U}^b]=1$, which yields the conclusion.
\[lem:decomp\] Let $w(\bar{a},b)$ be a word containing only $\bar{a}$ and $b$. Then the commutator $[a,w(\bar{a},b)]$ can be expressed as a product of conjugates of the commutator $[a,b]$.
In general, we have an equation $[a,uv]=[a,v][a,u]^v$. Since $[a,\bar{a}]=1$, $[a,w(\bar{a},b)]$ is decomposed into a product of conjugates of only $[a,b]$.
\[thm:pretzel\] If $n\ge 1$, then $G$ admits a generalized torsion element.
By Lemma \[lem:decomp\], $[a,b\bar{a}b^{n-1}\bar{a}b]$ is expressed as a product of conjugates of $[a,b]$ if $n\ge 1$. We know that $[a,b]\ne 1$ in $G$, because $G$ is not abelian. (The only knots and links whose groups are abelian are the unknot and the Hopf link.) Then Lemma \[lem:rel\] implies that $[a,b]$ is a generalized torsion element in $G$.
When $n=0$, then link $L$ is the connected sum of the trefoil and the Hopf link. Since the knot group of the trefoil contains a generalized torsion element, so does $G$. For $n<0$, our argument in the proof of Theorem \[thm:pretzel\] does not work.
**Proof of Theorem \[thm:main1\].** This follows from Theorems \[thm:w\] and \[thm:pretzel\] and Corollary | arxiv |

How to Get a Radio Brand-Building Website.TALKERS columnist and noted digital radio consultant Chris Miller serves up a new article offering powerful tips on how radio web designers can create sites that contribute toward building their station’s or program’s brand without distracting from it or diluting it. He covers the process on four basic but vital fronts: layout, content, graphics and interaction. Miller asks, “What’s the difference between your site and Google, YouTube and Facebook?” He states, “Those sites have a clear reason for being, and clean, well-organized content.” He strongly suggests, “Get your page looking more Facebookish, or YouTubeEsque, and you’ll go a long way toward building your website numbers.” Miller offers some nuts-and-bolts actions to get more people back more often and clicking on more content.

Opinion: Talk Radio Must Expand Beyond Politics to Survive. Nationally syndicated talk show host Doug Stephan responds to the effects of the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke incident and the recent news involving Dial Global and its citing Limbaugh’s comments in a SEC filing. Stephan says the March incident has cost him “hundreds of thousands of dollars” and that the industry must do a better job of convincing agencies and advertisers that all talk radio should not be lumped together. Read Stephan’s piece here.

Lotus Communications Donates $50,000 to Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club. The cash donated to the Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club was not a fundraiser of contributions from listeners but a gift from Spanish sports talk KWKW, Los Angeles owner Lotus Communications. The station recently launched a major partnership with the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club. After KWKW’s community service personnel learned that the Club was in desperate need of funds in order to provide after school programs, station management decided to step in with a $50,000 check. The money wasn’t raised by listeners. Station president James Kalmenson decided to make a difference | pile-cc |

In arguing that the district court in the present case abused its discretion, defendant cites the case of United States v. Leja, 568 F.2d 493 (6th Cir. 1977). Therein, defendant's counsel had attempted to impeach the credibility of a government informant by showing that the informant's livelihood had depended entirely upon the government's compensation. The district court had allowed cross-examination of the informant as to his compensation from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for his work in the Immediate case. However, the court had refused to allow any inquiry whatever into the informant's compensation for his Previous work with the DEA. The Sixth Circuit reversed the judgment of conviction, reasoning:
11
Past rewards are actually more important than remuneration for the case at hand, since pay for the case at hand comes after the work is done. Evidence of past rewards shows what an informant can expect by making a case. It is in making a case that any deceit occurs, for once the case is made, and an investigation terminated by arrest, the testimony is virtually assured.
12
568 F.2d at 498. We find that the holding of the Sixth Circuit in Leja is sound. However, the facts of the present appeal are distinguishable from the facts of Leja. In the case now before us, the district court allowed defendant's counsel to elicit in detail the fact that the government informant had worked for the DEA on previous occasions. Further, the court ordered the government to produce the DEA's pay guidelines so that defendant's counsel could use the guidelines in his cross-examination. In Leja, on the other hand, the district court had forbidden All inquiry into the subject of the compensation, if any, that had been previously paid to the government's witness.
13
After a careful review of the record in the present case, we conclude that ". . . the jury had sufficient information to appraise the bias and motives . . ." of the DEA's informant. Skinner v. Cardwell, supra, 564 F.2d at 1389.
14
For the reasons stated above, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.

The problem with PCs is not the existence of cheapo systems like this, but the
absence of machines that compete with the Mac for industrial design and user
experience. It doesn't seem to be possible to buy a PC that isn't butt-ugly
and comes loaded with crapware, regardless of how much you're willing to pay.
My theory is that when Apple builds a computer, they know they're going to
sell millions of a particular model, so it's worth spending the time to build
it properly. PC makers have higher volume, but it's spread across thirty
models with a dozen variants each, updated yearly, so they can't waste time
making any of them particularly good.

I wonder how a Mac-like PC (no trialware, no excessive stickers, minimal

are willing to pay a premium buy Macs. The kind of people who don't or can't
appreciate that save their money and go with a PC. It's almost a cultural
issue.
I agree that when Apple can use a specific model design for years, simply
changing out the internal components for several revisions, they can put more

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The need to train the next generation of medical geneticists has never been more urgent. Our biggest challenge in Medicine is to handle the flood of genomic information associated with new methodologies such as next generation sequencing. The overwhelming power of these new technologies is transforming the traditional approach to medical diagnosis and functional investigations. This renewal training proposal will prepare the future generation to tackle a new reality in which: 1) genetic testing and technology evolves rapidly, 2) most clinical testing is done outside | nih_exporter |
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family receptors/ligands are important participants in hematopoietic homeostasis, in particular as essential negative expansion regulators of differentiated clones. As a prominent injury cytokine, TNF-alpha has been traditionally considered to suppress donor hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell function after transplantation.

In this study, we show that integrin--tTG complexes are formed inside the cell early during biosynthesis. We were unable to reconstitute integrin interaction with tTG in vitro using purified proteins, most likely because the formation of these complexes involves some as-yet unidentified intracellular intermediate(s) (data not shown). These facts might explain some previous data showing inability of purified tTG added to cells to influence cell adhesion and spreading ([Jones et al. 1997](#Jonesetal1997){ref-type="bib"}). We also generated a truncated tTG mutant tTG\[Δ592-687\] with the deleted fourth (most COOH-terminal) domain and found that although it retained enzymatic and Fn-binding activities, it did not associate with integrins and was not transported to the cell surface (data not shown). These results suggest that integrins might be involved in transporting tTG to the cell surface. Thus, the integrin--tTG interaction established in this work may provide an explanation for the surface localization of tTG reported previously ([Martinez et al. 1994](#Martinezetal1994){ref-type="bib"}; [Aeschlimann et al. 1995](#Aeschlimannetal1995){ref-type="bib"}; [Verderio et al. 1998](#Verderioetal1998){ref-type="bib"}), and consequently, for its effects on cell adhesion and spreading ([Gentile et al. 1992](#Gentileetal1992){ref-type="bib"}; [Jones et al. 1997](#Jonesetal1997){ref-type="bib"}; [Verderio et al. 1998](#Verderioetal1998){ref-type="bib"}).
How does the integrin--tTG interaction promote cell adhesion? Integrins are relatively low affinity receptors for ECM proteins, including Fn. In contrast, tTG binds with high affinity to Fn and its 42-kD fragment ([Turner and Lorand 1989](#TurnerandLorand1989){ref-type="bib"}; [Radek et al. 1993](#Radeketal1993){ref-type="bib"}), and as shown here, forms stable complexes with integrins. The presence of integrin-bound tTG on the surface creates a possibility for cells to use an additional binding site within Fn for the interaction with integrins. This potentially doubles the number of sites in the Fn matrix that cells can access in the process of adhesion and spreading. If the Fn chains are fully extended, as in the case | pubmed_central |
I am working on the following problem:
Let $k$ be a field, let $d$ be a positive integer, and let $P_d$ be the $k$-vector space of polynomials of degree $\leq d$ in $k[x,y]$. Compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the linear transformation $x\frac{d}{dx} - y\frac{d}{dy} : P_d \longrightarrow P_d$.
So far in my Linear Algebra class, we've only computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors of linear transformations from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^n$ by considering the associated $n \times n$ matrix so far. Thus, I wasn't sure exactly how to approach this one.
But, I tried approaching this just like the other problems we've done. So, in order to find the eigenvalues, we want to find $\lambda \in k$ such that $Tf = \lambda f$, where $f$ is a (nonzero) function in $k[x,y]$ (which would serve as an eigenvector) and $T$ is the linear transformation specified above. This gives *$x\frac{df}{dx} - y\frac{df}{dy} = \lambda f$.
How can I now solve equation * for eigenvalues and the associated eigenvectors ? Am I supposed to solve a corresponding differential equation? Even this is tough for me, since I'm not used to solving differential equations for functions in two variables. Or is there an easier approach that I'm not seeing?
I wouldn't think that I'm supposed to expand $f$ out to include all of its terms and solve from there -- this can get cumbersome since we're dealing with the polynomial ring in two variables $k[x,y]$.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
A:
Consider a general $d$ dimensional polynomial
$$ f(x,y) = \sum_{i=0}^d \sum_{j=0}^d a_{ij} x^i y^j. $$
Plugging into our linear operator we obtain
$$ \sum_{i=0}^d \sum_{j=0}^d (i-j -\lambda) a_{ij} x^i y^j = 0. $$
Since this needs to hold for each coefficient of $x^i y^j$, we require $(i-j -\lambda) | stackexchange |
Referring to FIG. 1, when the engine is operating normally and coolant is in the water jacket(s), the temperature inside the water jacket Tw remains lower than a predetermined high temperature or threshold temperature Tlim (85.degree. C. in FIG. 1). When the engine is shut off, however, the coolant drains from the jacket. In addition, the temperature To of the lubricant contained in the oil pan is still high for some time after the engine is stopped. Because the lubricant temperature To is around 130.degree. C. when the engine is running and the temperature To is hard to fall down. Since no coolant remains in the water jacket and the lubricant temperature To is high, the temperature in the jacket rises immediately after the engine has been stopped. The temperature may rise to a point well above the predetermined high temperature Tlim. Then, with the lubricant temperature To falling down, the temperature inside the water jacket Tw falls back below the temperature Tlim.
If the engine is subsequently restarted before the temperature in the jacket Tw falls back below the temperature Tlim, the overheat detection system will indicate that the engine is overheated. This is due primarily because coolant is not yet being supplied to the cooling jacket(s).
In order to prevent the wrong determination of overheat from being occurring when the engine is restarted immediately after being stopped, one idea may be proposed wherein no overheat detection is made during a predetermined time after the engine is started. FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of an overheat detection routine in accordance with this idea as an example.
Immediately after the engine is started, the program goes to a step S1 and checks if an overheat sensor (thermal switch) is on or off. If it is on, i.e., the temperature inside the water jacket Tw is higher than the predetermined high temperature Tlim, the program goes to a step S2 to determine if the engine has been just started or not. This state is represented by that the engine speed is less than 2000 rpm. If this is negative, the program goes to a step S3 and prevents an overheat signal from being output for 20 seconds. Then, the program goes to a step S4 to check again with the overheat sensor if it is still on. If it is positive, the program permits to output an overheat signal in a step S6. Meanwhile, if the engine speed is equal to or greater than 2000 rpm in the step S2, | uspto_backgrounds |

Introduction
============
In classical electrodynamics it is well known that accelerated charges loose energy by radiation and there is a large amount of literature concerning effective equations which include effects due to radiation damping without giving a completely relativistic description of the system of fields and charges.
A similar but more involved situation occurs in the theory of general relativity where accelerated matter emits gravitational radiation and is thus damped. The probably best studied example is the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar consisting of a strongly self-gravitating system of two stars rotating about their common center of mass. Due to the difficulties as the non-linearity and the necessity of finding appropriate coodinates it seems to be out of reach to treat a system like the one already mentioned within the full theory. Hence, it is desirable to have effective equations valid in certain limits as in the electromagnetic case.
In many applications, as e.g. the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar, the occurring velocities are small compared to the speed of light. Thus, it is a natural strategy to expand the metric in powers of $|v/c|$, ($c$ denotes the velocity of light). The contribution in order zero corresponds to the non-relativistic limit where gravity is governed by Newtonian theory. Therefore, higher order corrections are usually addressed as post-Newtonian approximations. For an overview concerning post-Newtonian expansions see [@bla]. Whereas it is relatively straightforward to establish relations between the full system and the equations of approximation, it is much more difficult to give the relation between the solutions of the two sets of equations. While order zero is done in [@ADR] for asymptotically flat solutions any further progress seems to be difficult at this point.
For this reason it seems to be useful to investigate the very similar but less involved system of charged matter coupled to electromagnetic fields. In [@KS1] and [@KS2] the first post-Newtonian approximations of the Abraham model, a model consisting of single charged particles coupled to the Maxwell fields which they create collectively, are considered yielding the Darwin corrections, order $|v/c|^2$, and radiation corrections, order $|v/c|^3$ with respect to the Newtonian limit. Explicit estimates of the error terms are given.
In the present paper we choose a model of many particles governed by a statistical approach. For sake of simplicity we assume that there are only two different species of matter with mass normalized to unity and charge normalized to plus unity and minus unity, respectively.

Another factor in how banks determine the interest rates for savings products is supply and demand. The money that customers deposit into their bank accounts is the same money that the financial institution lends out to borrowers, who pay interest on the loans. So, if the demand for loans increases, and the bank needs more deposits from which to lend, they may be inclined to increase the interest rates on their deposit accounts to make them more attractive to savers like you. On the flip side, a decreased demand for loans could result in lower interest rates on savings accounts, because the bank doesn’t need as many deposits to keep up with lending demands.
It’s also typical for banks to base their deposit account rates on “benchmark” interest rates. The federal funds rate is the rate that financial institutions charge each other for extremely short-term loans. This federal funds rate is a common benchmark for the interest rates that banks offer their customers. In other words, if the federal funds rate changes, banks will typically adjust the rates they’re offering customers on savings products like savings accounts and CDs.
Investor demand for U.S. Treasury bonds and notes is another factor, as is the Federal Reserve, which sets the federal funds rate. The Federal Reserve (often referred to simply as “the Fed”) frequently makes announcements and decisions about how monetary policy will impact rates.
The Fed influences these rates by buying or selling previously issued U.S. securities. When it buys more securities, banks end up with more money than they can use for lending, and the interest rates decrease. And when the Fed sells securities, money from the banks is tapped, resulting in fewer funds available for lending. This, in turn, forces a hike in interest rates.
Knowing which factors affect the interest rates on deposit accounts can help you to make a more informed decision when you’re shopping around for a savings product. And don’t forget to review and factor in any fees or maintenance charges associated with the account before you open it – those can take a real bite out of your earned interest if you’re not careful!
So you’re looking to stash some money away for a rainy day…or maybe a sunny vacation stay. But you’re not sure which is a better choice – a savings account or a certificate of deposit (CD).
Obviously both are designed with savings in mind. And both will earn you interest. But there are some significant differences to consider.

The Board also argues that Walker did not prove any irreparable injury that would support the issuance of an injunction. We therefore consider whether Walker's removal from the Board was an irreparable injury. In an analogous case, this Court has discussed the element of irreparable injury in the context of injunctive relief:
"Ordinarily a court of equity will not interfere with the internal affairs of a voluntary association, or assume jurisdiction to restrain its acts done or attempted *338 in accordance with its rules and within the scope of its powers. On the other hand, if the act complained of is unauthorized or unlawful and occasions irreparable injury to the complainant member for which there is no adequate and complete remedy at law, equitable relief by way of injunction will be granted. 28 Amer.Jur. section 161, page 351.
"But it is earnestly insisted that irreparable injury is not shown here.
"It is perfectly clear that the threatened acts of the respondents are unauthorized, unlawful and in direct violation of the constitution of the society. As above pointed out, this court has ruled to the effect that complainant's membership... is a property right of value; that the constitution of the society is a contract between its members, and one that the society itself must observe until changed in legal form."
Medical Soc'y of Mobile County v. Walker, 245 Ala. 135, 140, 16 So.2d 321, 325 (1944) (emphasis added). In light of the principles stated in Medical Society of Mobile County, the trial court could have properly concluded that Walker had suffered irreparable injury. Thus, we cannot reverse the trial court's order on the basis that the plaintiff had not shown an irreparable injury.
IV. The Board's Authority to Remove Walker
The Board's final argument is that it was acting within its authority when it removed Walker. We first note that the passage of time has rendered moot the issue of the Board's authority to remove Walker from the remainder of her 1999 term.
"[I]t is not within the province of this court to decide abstract or hypothetical questions, which are disconnected from the gravity of actual relief, or from the determination of which no practical result can follow."

Some password manager browser extensions circumvent password paste prevention,
so that's worth looking into.

I've resorted to autohotkey keyboard shortcuts to simulate typing in
credentials at times.
When I had to log into this one vpn for work I even used to have it open the
2fa app, click the button to copy the code, open the vpn app, enter all the
fields, and log in all from one keyboard shortcut.

I've long thought you should be able to use a hot key + insecure password to
generate a strong time limited password. Insecure password could be just the
website domain name for all it matters.

What password manager do you use? Have been using Avast PW Manager but appears

KeePassXC, LastPass, Bitwarden and 1Password are the major ones.

KeePassXC is my current favourite. Some of the keyboard shortcuts don't seem

Highly unlikely, I think. The letters are too crisp. And the way the text

The physiological effects of cyclic AMP in mammalian tissues are thought to be mediated by the action of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases. Mechanistic studies are being carried out in our laboratory on bovine cardiac muscle protein kinase, a cyclic AMP-activated enzyme which catalyzes phosphate transfer from ATP to peptide and protein substrates. In most of our work we have used the peptide substrate Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly and related peptides in which the residues on either side of the Ser | nih_exporter |

Time series analysis of average costs for mental disorder {#s2c}
---------------------------------------------------------
A sequence chart of data from 2011 to 2015 showed that hospitalisation admissions for mental disorder presented an upward trend and seasonal variations. [Table 4](#T4){ref-type="table"} shows the models and their performance. The p values of the Ljung-Box test were all over 0.05, indicating that the residuals from the models had no significant autocorrelation, which shows that these models fit the data. The results of forecasting, including observed, fit and forecast values, and credibility intervals are shown in [figure 2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}. The costs for all population, employed population and unemployed population showed increasing trends. By the end of 2030, the average costs per admission per month were estimated to be US\$7394.17 (95% CI US\$6782.24 to 8006.10) for all population, US\$7354.72 (95% CI US\$6635.07 to 8074.36) for employed population and US\$7206.24 (95% CI US\$6222.27 to 8191.02) for unemployed population. Based on the main scenario, the numbers of hospitalisations for mental disorder would be 15 738, making the total expenditure US\$110.95 million (95% CI US\$ 101.32 to 120.58 million) in 2030.

And this was not what I was expecting - I was expecting to get the same as I did in teh parent document.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and how to fix it so that the array is still an array when addressed from a child window/document?
PS. the objects aren't added to the array as stated above, they are added like this:
function objTemp()
{
this.Id = '';
this.Name = '';
};
var myArray = [];
var obj = new ObjTemp();
obj.Id = 'guid1';
obj.Name = 'name1';
myArray[myArray.length] = obj;
If that makes any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated, both for fixing my problem but also for better understanding what is going on :)
A:
The very last line might be causing the problem, have you tried replacing myArray[myArray.length] = obj; with myArray.push(obj);? Could be that, since you're creating a new index explicitly, the Array is turned into an object... though I'm just guessing here. Could you add the code used by the child document that retrieves myArray ?
Edit
Ignore the above, since it won't make any difference. Though, without wanting to boast, I was thinking along the right lines. My idea was that, by only using proprietary array methods, the interpreter would see that as clues as to the type of myArray. The thing is: myArray is an array, as far as the parent document is concerned, but since you're passing the Array from one document to another, here's what happens:
An array is an object, complete with it's own prototype and methods. By passing it to another document, you're passing the entire Array object (value and prototype) as one object to the child document. In passing the variable between documents, you're effectively creating a copy of the variable (the only time JavaScript copies the values of a var). Since an array is an object, all of its properties (and prototype methods/properties) are copied to a 'nameless' instance of the Object object. Something along the lines of var copy = new Object(toCopy.constructor(toCopy.valueOf())); is happening... the easiest way around this, IMO, is to stringency the array withing the parent context, because there, the interpreter | stackexchange |
An external force detecting device, such as an optical six-axis force sensor, has been conventionally known, in which a positional displacement of a force receiving member (i.e., measurement segment) to receive an external force applied relative to a static member (i.e., reference segment) is sensed by an optical displacement sensor, and the external force applied is calculated according to a signal outputted from the optical displacement sensor.
For example, in an optical six-axis force sensor, an external force applied is calculated with respect to six axis directions according to displacements generated in the six directions, and therefore optical displacement sensors are provided so as to measure the displacements in the six axis directions. The optical six-axis force sensor as described above includes three optical displacement sensors each of which is adapted to measure displacements in the two axis directions X and Y.
Each of such optical displacement sensors includes a light emitting diode (LED) as a light source, and a photo diode (PD) array as a light receiving element disposed opposite to the LED on a common optical axis, wherein the PD array is composed of four PDs, and light emitted from the LED is arranged to impinge on the PD array at its center area equally shared by the four PDs. In the optical displacement sensor, the positional displacement of light received at the PD array can be detected, that is to say, the relative positional displacement between a portion of the sensor having the LED attached thereto and a portion of the sensor having the PD array attached thereto can be detected. In the optical six-axis force sensor, a six-axis force is calculated according to respective outputs from the three optical displacement sensors.
Conventionally, in a six-axis force sensor using three optical displacement sensors, a light source and a light receiving element must be provided at each optical displacement sensor thus requiring a plurality (three) of light sources, which results in increased power consumption. To overcome this problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-156456 discloses a six-axis force sensor incorporating a trifurcate optical fiber which has one light entrance end and three light exit ends, and a light beam emitted from a light source is introduced into the trifurcate optical fiber from the one entrance end and split into three light beams to take three separate optical paths and to exit out from respective exit ends so as to impinge on three separate light receiving elements, respectively, thus requiring only one light source.

Rev John Drysdale, who married Mary Adam, daughter of the famous architect William Adam, was a Minister of the Tron Kirk from 1766 to 1788 and was also twice Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, though now he is chiefly remembered for his friendship with Adam Smith, the economist.
The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland met in the Tron from 1830 to 1840—the period of the "Ten Years' Conflict".
Architectural history
The Tron, as it is commonly called, was ordered to be built by King Charles I when he decided that St Giles' was to become the cathedral for the new see of Edinburgh. The land was purchased by the parish from Dr. William Scott, MD, for £1000 Scots. It was erected between 1636 and 1647 to a design by John Mylne, Royal master mason. The design mixed Palladian and Gothic elements and was inspired by contemporary Dutch architecture. The full Chamberlain's Accounts for this project are extant. The width of the building was reduced when both side aisles were removed in 1785 to accommodate the South Bridge and Blair Street leading to Hunter Square. In 1828 a new spire (designed by R & R Dickson) was constructed to replace the original, destroyed in the Great Edinburgh Fire of November 1824. The Tron closed as a church in 1952 and was acquired by the City of Edinburgh Council, the congregation moving to a new church in the Moredun area of the city. It was subsequently left to decay, and the interiors were eventually gutted. Excavations then took place under the church, from within, in 1974, which revealed some foundations of 16th century buildings in a long-vanished close named Marlins Wynd. A debate continues as to whether the internal destruction of this famous church was warranted.
Hogmanay
The Tron's position as the traditional focus of Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations has been greatly diminished in recent years, due to the expansion of the City Council's organised Hogmanay Street Party in the city centre.
However, it was announced in November 2012 that this historic venue would re-stake its claim to the city's hogmanay celebrations, with a Festival of the Extraordinary planned to include live music, film screenings and, amongst other things, a mixology masterclass.

In Sec. \[dge\] we shall see how the dependence on $m$ and $N$ through the combination $N\bar{\Lambda}/m$ follows from the large–order behaviour of the perturbative expansion in the large–$\beta_0$ limit. Having established Eq. (\[large-m-and-N\]) non-perturbatively, we know that this is indeed the leading behaviour at large $N$ and that corrections to this behaviour are suppressed by a power of $1/N$.
We see that the scale which characterizes the fragmentation process in the large $z$ region is $m(1-z)$ or, in moment space, $m/N$. This scale has a clear meaning when considering the bremsstrahlung off a heavy quark. Let us examine the emission in a frame where the quark energy $E$ is much larger than its mass. The radiation pattern (to ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$) is $$\frac{dD}{dz\,d\sin^2\theta}\simeq\frac{C_F\,
\alpha_s}{\pi}\,\frac{1}{1-z}\,\frac{\sin^2\theta}{(\sin^2\theta+m^2/E^2)^2},
\label{rad_pattern}$$ where only the leading term in the limit $z\longrightarrow 1$ was kept and the angle of emission $\theta$ is related to the gluon transverse momentum by $\sin^2\theta={k_{\perp}^2}/\left({E^2z^2(1-z)^2}\right)$. As discussed in [@Dokshitzer:fd], the radiation vanishes in the exact forward direction, but it peaks close to the forward direction at $\theta\,\simeq\, m/E$ (the ‘dead cone’), or in a boost-invariant formulation at $\vert k_{\perp}\vert \simeq m(1-z)$. So $m(1-z)$ is the typical transverse momentum of radiated gluons. The scaling law (\[large-m-and-N\]) can be understood in physical terms as the observation that the hadronization effects ($\tilde{D}(N,m^2)$ at large $N$ and $m$) are dominated by interaction with gluons of transverse momentum $\bar{\Lambda}=M-m$.

Years ago I found this Lady’s Slipper on the ridge above my cabin. I brought her with a huge ball of dirt down the hill and placed her just outside my kitchen window. Each April I wait for her, an announcemnt of another year when I am blessed with spring and hope. The Lady’s Slipper will transplant only into familiar soil. When I first came into these mountains, I felt immediately at home. My roots had never gone deep anywhere I was transplanted though there were many beautiful landscapes that I inhabited and loved. I have felt complete here on this little mountain and able to thrive and bloom in the unlikely geography of these ancient spaces. Its seasons are icons, its beauty is eucharist, its every growing inhabitant and every dying one a metaphor and a prayer.
I have begun to deeply understand Beauty as the single spiritual force that draws me through life and propels me, gives me courage, inspires me. I somehow think it should be Love or Truth..making rules as usual. But it is the Beauty in people, places and things that causes Love to arise in me and saturate me. Beauty activates Truth that then compels me to reject the shallow, the illusory and the sentimental. They are not separate forces but aspects of the One. Finally though, it is the longing for and search for Beauty that flows through my being. It is my life force. It is the gift that is given to me in this particular human incarnation. It is Beauty that invites me into the mystery of experience.
I will put on my painting clothes in a few hours and go down the hill to slather oil paint on panels and push it around, scrape through it and see what happens.
I have worked as a serious craft artist for the past twenty years, painting papers and textiles to use in the creation of one of a kind handmade journals. I have loved color and paint as long as I can remember. One incident with my parents when I was in grade school so threatened my need for praise that I refused ever again to paint “pictures”. Two sisters who achieved success as painters further influenced my decisions to write poems, work with people and finally come in by the back door in my other great loves cloth and bookarts thinking I could satisfy my need for the process of painting in other ways. The longing to paint was intentionally pushed under the surface of a busy life.
