In most cases, Christian authors associate each miracle with specific teachings that reflect the message of Jesus.In The Miracles of Jesus, H. Van der Loos describes two main categories of miracles attributed to Jesus: those that affected people (such as Jesus healing the blind man of Bethsaida), or "healings", and those that "controlled nature" (such as Jesus walking on water). The three types of healings are cures, in which an ailment is miraculous remedied, exorcisms, in which demons are cast out of victims, and the resurrection of the dead. Karl Barth said that, among these miracles, the Transfiguration of Jesus is unique in that the miracle happens to Jesus himself.According to Craig Blomberg, one characteristic shared among all miracles of Jesus in the Gospel accounts is that he delivered benefits freely and never requested or accepted any form of payment for his healing miracles, unlike some high priests of his time who charged those who were healed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_miracles |
In Matthew 10:8 he advised his disciples to heal the sick without payment and stated, "Freely ye received, freely give. "It is not always clear when two reported miracles refer to the same event. For example, in the healing the centurion's servant, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke narrate how Jesus healed the servant of a centurion in Capernaum at a distance. The Gospel of John has a similar but slightly different account at Capernaum and states that it was the son of a royal official who was cured at a distance. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_miracles |
In most cases, ELM is used as a single hidden layer feedforward network (SLFN) including but not limited to sigmoid networks, RBF networks, threshold networks, fuzzy inference networks, complex neural networks, wavelet networks, Fourier transform, Laplacian transform, etc. Due to its different learning algorithm implementations for regression, classification, sparse coding, compression, feature learning and clustering, multi ELMs have been used to form multi hidden layer networks, deep learning or hierarchical networks.A hidden node in ELM is a computational element, which need not be considered as classical neuron. A hidden node in ELM can be classical artificial neurons, basis functions, or a subnetwork formed by some hidden nodes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_learning_machine |
In most cases, IPMNs are diagnosed based on clinical and radiographic criteria. If fluid from the cyst is aspirated, the CEA level is typically elevated. Confirmation of the diagnosis with tissue is rarely necessary.By histopathology, IPMN is characterized on light microscopy by Mucinous epithelial cells, and growth within the pancreatic ducts. Mucin 5AC is a useful immunohistochemistry marker. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraductal_papillary_mucinous_neoplasm |
Characteristic genetic alterations are those of KRAS and GNAS.Further subtyping of IPMN can be done as either: Gross pathology: Main duct, branch duct, and mixed duct lesions, which determines surgical management. Main duct lesion is the segmental or diffuse dilatation of main pancreatic duct greater than 5 mm without other causes of obstruction. Meanwhile, branch duct lesion is the pancreatic cyst more than 5 mm that communicates with the main duct. The mixed duct lesions fulfills both criteria above. By light microscopy and immunohistochemistry: Gastric, intestinal, pancreaticbiliary, and oncocytic. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraductal_papillary_mucinous_neoplasm |
In most cases, Java support is unnecessary in Web browsers, and security experts recommend that it not be run in a browser unless absolutely necessary. It was suggested that, if Java is required by a few Web sites, users should have a separate browser installation specifically for those sites. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(software_platform) |
In most cases, OMS starts with an acute flare-up of physical symptoms within days or weeks, but some less obvious symptoms such as irritability and malaise may begin weeks or months earlier. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opsoclonus_myoclonus_syndrome |
In most cases, a 1031 exchange proceeds as described above, where the relinquished property is first sold, then the replacement property is purchased. The IRS has also determined that the reverse sequence also will avoid capital gains taxes, provided certain requirements are met. This is called a "reverse 1031" or "reverse Starker". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1031_exchange |
In a reverse 1031 exchange, the taxpayer first buys the replacement property. The taxpayer has 45 days (after obtaining title to the replacement property) to identify the relinquished property that will be sold. The sale of the relinquished property must close within 180 days from the purchase of the replacement property. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1031_exchange |
The taxpayer cannot hold direct title of both properties during the reverse 1031 exchange process. Either the relinquished property or the replacement property must have its title held by a Qualified Intermediary throughout the exchange process. The first option is for the taxpayer to transfer title of the relinquished property to a Qualified Intermediary at the start of the process; the Intermediary holds title to the replacement property throughout the process, until it is sold. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1031_exchange |
The taxpayer can immediately take title to the replacement property when purchased. Alternatively, when the replacement property is purchased, title is immediately taken by the Qualified Intermediary, who holds title throughout the process. After the taxpayer sells the relinquished property, the intermediary will transfer title of the replacement property to the taxpayer. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1031_exchange |
In most cases, a central bank has the exclusive power to issue all forms of currency, including coins and banknotes (fiat money), and to restrain the circulation alternative currencies for its own area of circulation (a country or group of countries); it regulates the production of currency by banks (credit) through monetary policy. An exchange rate is a price at which two currencies can be exchanged against each other. This is used for trade between the two currency zones. Exchange rates can be classified as either floating or fixed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_unit |
In the former, day-to-day movements in exchange rates are determined by the market; in the latter, governments intervene in the market to buy or sell their currency to balance supply and demand at a static exchange rate. In cases where a country has control of its own currency, that control is exercised either by a central bank or by a Ministry of Finance. The institution that has control of monetary policy is referred to as the monetary authority. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_unit |
Monetary authorities have varying degrees of autonomy from the governments that create them. A monetary authority is created and supported by its sponsoring government, so independence can be reduced by the legislative or executive authority that creates it. Several countries can use the same name for their own separate currencies (for example, a dollar in Australia, Canada, and the United States). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_unit |
By contrast, several countries can also use the same currency (for example, the euro or the CFA franc), or one country can declare the currency of another country to be legal tender. For example, Panama and El Salvador have declared US currency to be legal tender, and from 1791 to 1857, Spanish dollars were legal tender in the United States. At various times countries have either re-stamped foreign coins or used currency boards, issuing one note of currency for each note of a foreign government held, as Ecuador currently does. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_unit |
Each currency typically has a main currency unit (the dollar, for example, or the euro) and a fractional unit, often defined as 1⁄100 of the main unit: 100 cents = 1 dollar, 100 centimes = 1 franc, 100 pence = 1 pound, although units of 1⁄10 or 1⁄1000 occasionally also occur. Some currencies do not have any smaller units at all, such as the Icelandic króna and the Japanese yen. Mauritania and Madagascar are the only remaining countries that have theoretical fractional units not based on the decimal system; instead, the Mauritanian ouguiya is in theory divided into 5 khoums, while the Malagasy ariary is theoretically divided into 5 iraimbilanja. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_unit |
In these countries, words like dollar or pound "were simply names for given weights of gold". Due to inflation khoums and iraimbilanja have in practice fallen into disuse. (See non-decimal currencies for other historic currencies with non-decimal divisions.) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_unit |
In most cases, a designated marksman rifle will share the caliber and possibly even the ammunition type used by standard issue rifles. DM rifles may be issued with standard ball ammunition, or special match grade loads, such as 7.62 mm NATO 'M118LR' sniper round. Sniper rifles are (almost exclusively) deployed with match grade ammunition in order to take advantage of their full effective range and accuracy potential; in addition, some sniper rifles are chambered for specialized ammunition, such as .338 Lapua Magnum or .338 Norma Magnum, that they do not share with common weapons. In the U.S. military, designated marksman rifles chambered for 5.56 mm NATO have available the 5 g (77 grain) match grade Mk 262 Mod 0/1 cartridge that enhances the effective range to roughly 600–800 m (2,000–2,600 ft). Chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum or .338 Norma Magnum, the range can exceed 1,400 m (4,600 ft). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_marksman_rifle |
In most cases, a fetus with CPAM is closely monitored during pregnancy and the CPAM is removed via surgery after birth. Most babies with a CPAM are born without complication and are monitored during the first few months. Many patients have surgery, typically before their first birthday, because of the risk of recurrent lung infections associated with CPAMs. Some pediatric surgeons can safely remove these lesions using very tiny incisions using minimally invasive surgical techniques (thoracoscopy). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_pulmonary_airway_malformation |
However, some CPAM patients live a full life without any complication or incident. It is hypothesized that there are thousands of people living with an undetected CPAM. Through ultrasound testing employed in recent years, many more patients are aware that they live with this condition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_pulmonary_airway_malformation |
Rarely, long standing CPAMs have been reported to become cancerous.Very large cystic masses might pose a danger during birth because of the airway compression. In this situation, a special surgical type of delivery called the EXIT procedure may be used. In rare extreme cases, where fetus's heart is in danger, fetal surgery can be performed to remove the CPAM. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_pulmonary_airway_malformation |
If non-immune hydrops fetalis develop, there is a near universal mortality of the fetus without intervention. Fetal surgery can improve the chances of survival to 50-60%. Recently, several studies found that a single course of prenatal steroids (betamethasone) may increase survival in hydropic fetuses with microcystic CPAMs to 75-100%. These studies indicate that large microcystic lesions may be treated prenatally without surgical intervention. Large macrocyst lesions may require in utero placement of a Harrison thoracoamniotic shunt. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_pulmonary_airway_malformation |
In most cases, a half-giant is the result of a union between a human and a giant. Often they are of normal size or slightly larger and either have abnormal or supernatural abilities, or are unusually strong and hearty.One notable half-giant is Antaeus of Greek mythology who is the son of Poseidon and Gaia.In Arthurian legends, Galehaut and Guinevere were also considered half-giants. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-giant |
In most cases, a positive skin test is used in identification of allergies, but the activation of basophilic granulocytes with anti-IgE, the expression of the CD63 antigen on the cell surface (plasma membrane) allows identification of the allergen responsible for the hypersensitivity reaction without performing the common scratch test. Only a little amount of blood is needed for this experiment, which makes it comfortable to use since one can perform it in parallel to a normal blood checkup. It can be used for different allergies (e.g. bee venom, drugs, contrast media). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basophil_activation |
In most cases, a retroverted uterus is a normal variation present from birth. There are other factors, however, that can cause the uterus to become retroverted. Pelvic surgery, pelvic adhesions, endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, or the labor of childbirth can change the position of the uterus to retroverted. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroverted_uterus |
In most cases, a single view is not sufficient to show all necessary features, and several views are used. Types of views include the following: | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawings |
In most cases, a trial (test) lead placement is performed in order to assess whether the stimulation will work as expected. Local anesthetic is applied to the back of the neck and a Tuohy needle is advanced towards the location of the greater occipital nerve and lesser occipital nerve under fluoroscopic guidance. When the location is confirmed, a temporary lead is placed through the needle before the needle is carefully removed. Electrical impulses are sent through the lead and its position is adjusted until the patient reports a "pins-and-needles" sensation, called paresthesia, across the areas of the nerves. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_nerve_stimulation |
If paresthesia is successfully achieved in the right place, permanent leads are usually implanted at a later date. In some cases, the trial leads are left in for up to one week to see whether there is any relief of symptoms.Permanent lead placement may be carried out under general anesthetic or local anesthetic with sedation. First, a small incision is made at the base of the skull, then a Tuohy needle is advanced under fluoroscopic guidance towards the location of the greater occipital nerve and lesser occipital nerve on one side of the head. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_nerve_stimulation |
When the lead is adequately positioned through the needle under fluoroscopic guidance, the needle is carefully removed and the lead is fixed in place. Since most patients require two leads, a second lead is usually inserted and fixed in place on the other side of the head in the same way. The lead(s) are then tunneled to a neurostimulator device which is usually implanted the buttock, chest, low abdomen, beneath the shoulder blade or below the clavicle. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_nerve_stimulation |
In most cases, affected individuals carry the tetrasomy in every cell in their bodies. However, some people have the tetrasomy in some of their tissues but not in others; this is referred to as the mosaic form of the syndrome, and often results in less severe symptoms. Non-mosaic tetrasomy 9p is most often the result of abnormal chromosome separation during the formation of eggs or sperm. In contrast, the mosaic form is often a result of a nondisjunction event that occurs early in embryonic development. The type and number of tissues affected in the mosaic form is dependent upon the timing and location of the abnormal division within the developing embryo. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrasomy_9p |
In most cases, allogrooming is an action that is learned from an individual's mother. Infants are groomed by their mothers and mimic these actions on each other and the mother as juveniles. This action is reciprocated on other group members (non-mother or of a different rank) more often once the individual is a fully developed adult and can follow normal grooming patterns. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_grooming |
In most cases, an incident-light meter will cause a medium tone to be recorded as a medium tone, and a reflected-light meter will cause whatever is metered to be recorded as a medium tone. What constitutes a "medium tone" depends on meter calibration and several other factors, including film processing or digital image conversion. Meter calibration establishes the relationship between subject lighting and recommended camera settings. The calibration of photographic light meters is covered by ISO 2720:1974. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_metering |
In most cases, an index is used to quickly locate the data records from which the required data is read. In other words, the index is only used to locate data records in the table and not to return data. A covering index is a special case where the index itself contains the required data fields and can answer the required data. Consider the following table (other fields omitted): To find the Name for ID 13, an index on (ID) is useful, but the record must still be read to get the Name. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index |
However, an index on (ID, Name) contains the required data field and eliminates the need to look up the record. Covering indexes are each for a specific table. Queries which JOIN/ access across multiple tables, may potentially consider covering indexes on more than one of these tables.A covering index can dramatically speed up data retrieval but may itself be large due to the additional keys, which slow down data insertion and update. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index |
To reduce such index size, some systems allow including non-key fields in the index. Non-key fields are not themselves part of the index ordering but only included at the leaf level, allowing for a covering index with less overall index size. This can be done in SQL with CREATE INDEX my_index ON my_table (id) INCLUDE (name);. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index |
In most cases, an optical triangulation sensor is mounted near the top of the swinging door frame, inside a long extruded aluminum tube with an optical window facing the floor. An 880 nm LED light source emits a collimated, near-infrared light beam. The beam bounces off the floor and is received by a photodiode positioned adjacent to the LED source. A second photodiode (or a linear array of photodiodes) is positioned farther along the length of the sensor. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_sensor |
When the emitted beam bounces off the floor, the reflected energy is almost exclusively concentrated on the first adjacent photodiode. When a human or object moves into the optical path, the reflected beam bounces back from the object. Since the beam is no longer traveling the full optical path length to the floor, its reflected angle changes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_sensor |
One of the adjacent photodiodes then receives the optical energy and the sensor responds by sending a signal to the automatic door controller. At that point the door stops, slows or reverses, hence averting a collision and providing safety. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_sensor |
Triangulation sensors are found on a number of door brands and manufactured by several sensor manufacturers. One example is the SuperScan-II from BEA. Other products from other manufacturers are also available. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_sensor |
In most cases, an ore does not consist entirely of a single ore mineral but it is mixed with other valuable minerals and with unwanted or valueless rocks and minerals. The part of an ore that is not economically desirable and that can not be avoided in mining is known as gangue. The valuable ore minerals are separated from the gangue minerals by froth flotation, gravity concentration, electric or magnetic methods, and other operations known collectively as mineral processing or ore dressing.Mineral processing consists of first liberation, to free the ore from the gangue, and concentration to separate the desired mineral(s) from it. Once processed, the gangue is known as tailings, which are useless but potentially harmful materials produced in great quantity, especially from lower grade deposits. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ore_deposit |
In most cases, bacteria provide the fungus with some form of metabolic benefit while the fungus often provides a suitable living environment. Burkholderia sp. in R. microsporus have been found to produce rhizoxin, an inhibitor of mitosis originally thought to be produced by R. microsporus itself. The production of rhizoxin by Burkholderia sp. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungal-bacterial_endosymbiosis |
leading to the death of plant cells allows R. microsporus to gain greater access to nutrients. The bacteria also appears to play a role in dictating asexual spore formation in R. microsporus. The benefit gained by the bacteria in this case is not specifically known. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungal-bacterial_endosymbiosis |
In other cases such as N. punctiforme and Ca. G. sporarum, nutrient exchange exists between the partners. N. punctiforme are autotrophic cyanobacteria capable of fixing nitrogen and provides G. pyriforme with fixed nitrogen. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungal-bacterial_endosymbiosis |
Ca. G. sporarum, on the other hand, has been found to increase the content of fatty acids, a method of usable organic carbon storage, in G. margarita while relying heavily on its AM fungi host to provide key nutrients suggesting that nutrient exchange is a two-way interaction. The AM fungi host relies on the plant host for its nutrients. Interactions between bacteria and fungi are based on benefits to metabolism and represent complex interactions between bacterial, fungal and plant components. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungal-bacterial_endosymbiosis |
In most cases, building a computer themselves is much cheaper than buying a prebuilt one, when they compare the specifications. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custom_built_PC |
In most cases, criminal prosecutions are pursued by the state in order to punish offenders, although some systems, such as in English and French law, allow private citizens to bring a private prosecution. Conversely, civil actions are initiated by private individuals, companies or organizations, for their own benefit. Government agencies may also be a party to civil actions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
Civil and criminal cases are usually heard in different courts. In jurisdictions based on English common-law systems, the party bringing a criminal charge (in most cases, the state) is called the "prosecution", but the party bringing most forms of civil action is the "plaintiff" or "claimant". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
In both kinds of action the other party is known as the "defendant". A criminal case against a person called Ms. Sanchez would be described as "The People v. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
(= "versus", "against" or "and") Sanchez," "The State (or Commonwealth) v. Sanchez" or " v. Sanchez" in the United States and "R. (Rex, Latin for "King" but spoken as "The Crown") v. Sanchez" in England and Wales, amongst other Commonwealth realms. But a civil action between Ms. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
Sanchez and a Mr. Smith would be "Sanchez v. Smith" if it were started by Sanchez, and "Smith v. Sanchez" if it were started by Mr. Smith (though the order of parties' names can change if the case is appealed).Most countries make a clear distinction between civil and criminal procedure. For example, a criminal court may force a convicted defendant to pay a fine as punishment for their crime, and the legal costs of both the prosecution and defence. But the victim of the crime generally pursues their claim for compensation in a civil, not a criminal, action. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
In France and England, however, a victim of a crime may incidentally be awarded compensation by a criminal court judge. Evidence from a criminal trial is generally admissible as evidence in a civil action about the same matter. For example, the victim of a road accident does not directly benefit if the driver who injured them is found guilty of the crime of careless driving. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
The victim still has to prove his case in a civil action, unless the doctrine of collateral estoppel applies, as it does in most American jurisdictions. The victim may be able to prove their civil case even when the driver is found not guilty in the criminal trial, because the standard to determine guilt is higher than the standard to determine fault. However, if a driver is found by a civil jury not to have been negligent, a prosecutor may be estopped from charging them criminally. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
If the plaintiff has shown that the defendant is liable, the main remedy in a civil court is the amount of money, or "damages", which the defendant should pay to the plaintiff. Alternative civil remedies include restitution or transfer of property, or an injunction to restrain or order certain actions. The standards of proof are higher in a criminal case than in a civil one, since the state does not wish to risk punishing an innocent person. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
In English law the prosecution must prove the guilt of a criminal "beyond reasonable doubt"; but the plaintiff in a civil action is required to prove his case "on the balance of probabilities". Thus, in a criminal case a crime cannot be proven if the person or persons judging it doubt the guilt of the suspect and have a reason (not just a feeling or intuition) for this doubt. But in a civil case, the court will weigh all the evidence and decide what is most probable. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_procedure |
In most cases, financial regulatory authorities regulate all financial activities. But in some cases, there are specific authorities to regulate each sector of the finance industry, mainly banking, securities, insurance and pensions markets, but in some cases also commodities, futures, forwards, etc. For example, in Australia, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) supervises banks and insurers, while the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is responsible for enforcing financial services and corporations laws. Sometimes more than one institution regulates and supervises the banking market, normally because, apart from regulatory authorities, central banks also regulate the banking industry. For example, in the USA banking is regulated by a lot of regulators, such as the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the National Credit Union Administration, as well as regulators at the state level.In the European Union, the European System of Financial Supervision consists of the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) as well as the European Systemic Risk Board. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_regulation |
The Eurozone countries are forming a Single Supervisory Mechanism under the European Central Bank as a prelude to Banking union. There are also associations of financial regulatory authorities. At the international level, there is the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the Joint Forum, and the Financial Stability Board, where national authorities set standards through consensus-based decision-making processes.The structure of financial regulation has changed significantly in the past two decades, as the legal and geographic boundaries between markets in banking, securities, and insurance have become increasingly "blurred" and globalized. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_regulation |
In most cases, fiscal sponsorship is offered at scale by local community foundations and capacity-building nonprofits. Each fiscal sponsor will have their own rules and policies as to how you can apply for sponsorship, what fees they charge and how quickly they expect the sponsored project to apply and receive 510c3 status from the IRS. Generally you should expect to pay a small application fee of $100-$500 and then anywhere from 4%-15% of donation revenue to the sponsor for their services. The Fiscal Sponsorship Directory contains a list of organizations offering fiscal sponsorship. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship |
This list is not exhaustive and you should contact your local community foundation to see if they can support your charitable project as a fiscally sponsored entity. In addition to going directly to nonprofits to seek fiscal sponsorship, there are new companies forming to aid in the formation of fiscal sponsorships. Organizations like Hack Club, Ribbon, University Impact, and the Givinga Foundation are going in a different direction and trying to leverage software to improve the fiscal sponsorship product. These organizations offer improved functionality, with lower fees as a result of the technology they chose to use. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship |
In most cases, gardeners are expected to pay monthly or annual dues to pay for water, infrastructure, garden-provided tools, water hoses, ordinary maintenance, etc. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_gardens |
In most cases, horses are trained and selected specifically for therapy before being integrated into a program. Therapy programs choose horses of any breed that they find to be calm, even-tempered, gentle, serviceably sound, and well-trained both under saddle and on the ground. As most equine-assisted therapy is done at slow speeds, an older horse that is not in its athletic prime is sometimes used.Equine-assisted therapy programs try to identify horses that are calm but not lazy and physically suited with proper balance, structure, muscling and gaits. Muscling is not generally considered to be as important as the balance and structural correctness, but proper conditioning for the work it is to do is required. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_horseback_riding |
Suitable horses move freely and have good quality gaits, especially the walk. Unsound horses that show any signs of lameness are generally avoided.The welfare of the horse is taken into consideration. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_horseback_riding |
Each individual animal has natural biological traits but also has a unique personality with its own likes, dislikes and habits. Paying attention to what the animal is trying to communicate is helpful both in sessions of EAAT, but also to prevent burnout for the horse. Some programs refer to the therapy horse as an "equine partner". Other programs view the horse as a "metaphor" with no defined role other than to "be themselves." Equine Facilitated Wellness programs, particularly those following the EFW-Canada certification route view the horse as 'sentient being': "The equine is a sentient being, partner and co-facilitator in the equine facilitated relationship and process". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_horseback_riding |
In most cases, if an analytic continuation of a complex function exists, it is given by an integral formula. The next theorem, provided its hypotheses are met, provides a sufficient condition under which we can continue an analytic function from its convergent points along the positive reals to arbitrary s ∈ C {\displaystyle s\in \mathbb {C} } (with the exception of at finitely-many poles). Moreover, the formula gives an explicit representation for the values of the continuation to the non-positive integers expressed exactly by higher order (integer) derivatives of the original function evaluated at zero. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_continuation |
In most cases, including even simple curves, there are no closed-form solutions for arc length and numerical integration is necessary. Numerical integration of the arc length integral is usually very efficient. For example, consider the problem of finding the length of a quarter of the unit circle by numerically integrating the arc length integral. The upper half of the unit circle can be parameterized as y = 1 − x 2 . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifiable_curve |
{\displaystyle y={\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}.} The interval x ∈ {\displaystyle x\in \left} corresponds to a quarter of the circle. Since d y / d x = − x / 1 − x 2 {\textstyle dy/dx=-x{\big /}{\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}} and 1 + ( d y / d x ) 2 = 1 / ( 1 − x 2 ) , {\displaystyle 1+(dy/dx)^{2}=1{\big /}\left(1-x^{2}\right),} the length of a quarter of the unit circle is The 15-point Gauss–Kronrod rule estimate for this integral of 1.570796326808177 differs from the true length of by 1.3×10−11 and the 16-point Gaussian quadrature rule estimate of 1.570796326794727 differs from the true length by only 1.7×10−13. This means it is possible to evaluate this integral to almost machine precision with only 16 integrand evaluations. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifiable_curve |
In most cases, isolated diaphragmatic rupture is associated with good outcome if it is surgically repaired. The death rate (mortality) for diaphragmatic rupture after blunt and penetrating trauma is estimated to be 15–40% and 10–30% respectively, but other injuries play a large role in determining outcome. Herniation of abdominal organs is present in 3–4% of people with abdominal trauma who present to a trauma center. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragmatic_rupture |
In most cases, it is preferred that a malfunctioning launch vehicle is fully neutralized at altitude. In those cases, an errant rocket is destroyed before it hits the surface, combusting and dispersing its propellants far away from the ground in a manner that is as controllably as possible. The resulting destruction is required to scatter rocket parts over a small area, ensuring the majority of the parts stay within the launch corridor and are able to cause as little damage or injuries as possible. This is done by detonating high explosives, usually linear shaped charges, in specific areas of the rocket, which initiates structural failure and renders the vehicle aerodynamically unstable. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_safety_officer |
On liquid-fueled rockets, the propellant tanks are cut open to spill out their contents. This way, the FTS takes advantage of the highly explosive nature and mixability of liquid rocket propellants, destroying the vehicle with its own fuel. The rocket's engines are usually also destroyed or disabled. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_safety_officer |
On rockets containing hypergolic propellants, the common bulkhead of the rocket's tanks is ruptured to ensure the toxic propellants mix and combust as much as possible when flight is terminated. On rockets fueled by cryogenic propellants, the tanks are perforated from the side to prevent excessive mixing and combustion of propellants, as an FTS is not allowed to detonate propellants and cause a violent explosion.Solid-fuel rockets cannot have their engines shut down, but splitting them open terminates thrust even though the propellant will continue to burn, as the explosive charges break the rocket and its fuel into small pieces. In some cases, only the nosecone might be removed from a solid rocket, with the risk that the remainder of the rocket explodes violently and cause injuries or damage upon impact with the ground or water. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_safety_officer |
In most cases, juvenile arthritis is caused by the body attacking its own healthy cells and tissues, i.e. autoimmunity, causing the joint to become inflamed and stiff. Once the joint has become inflamed and stiff, damage is done to the joint and the growth of the joint may by changed or impaired. The underlying cause in the malfunction of the autoimmune system is unknown; dietary habits and emotional state seem to have no effect on the disease. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_arthritis |
In most cases, lead poisoning is preventable by avoiding exposure to lead. Prevention strategies can be divided into individual (measures taken by a family), preventive medicine (identifying and intervening with high-risk individuals), and public health (reducing risk on a population level).Recommended steps by individuals to reduce the blood lead levels of children include increasing their frequency of hand washing and their intake of calcium and iron, discouraging them from putting their hands to their mouths, vacuuming frequently, and eliminating the presence of lead-containing objects such as blinds and jewellery in the house. In houses with lead pipes or plumbing solder, these can be replaced. Less permanent but cheaper methods include running water in the morning to flush out the most contaminated water, or adjusting the water's chemistry to prevent corrosion of pipes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning |
Lead testing kits are commercially available for detecting the presence of lead in the household. Testing kit accuracy depends on the user testing all layers of paint and the quality of the kit; the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) only approves kits with an accuracy rating of at least 95%. Professional lead testing companies caution that DIY test kits can create health risks for users that do not understand their limitations and liability issues for employers with regard to worker protection. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning |
As hot water is more likely than cold water to contain higher amounts of lead, use only cold water from the tap for drinking, cooking, and making baby formula. Since most of the lead in household water usually comes from plumbing in the house and not from the local water supply, using cold water can avoid lead exposure. Measures such as dust control and household education do not appear to be effective in changing children's blood levels.Prevention measures also exist on national and municipal levels. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning |
Recommendations by health professionals for lowering childhood exposures include banning the use of lead where it is not essential and strengthening regulations that limit the amount of lead in soil, water, air, household dust, and products. Regulations exist to limit the amount of lead in paint; for example, a 1978 law in the US restricted the lead in paint for residences, furniture, and toys to 0.06% or less. In October 2008, the US EPA reduced the allowable lead level by a factor of ten to 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter of air, giving states five years to comply with the standards. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning |
The European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive limits amounts of lead and other toxic substances in electronics and electrical equipment. In some places, remediation programs exist to reduce the presence of lead when it is found to be high, for example in drinking water. As a more radical solution, entire towns located near former lead mines have been "closed" by the government, and the population resettled elsewhere, as was the case with Picher, Oklahoma, in 2009. Removing lead from airplane fuel would also be useful. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning |
In most cases, liver function will return to normal if the offending drug is stopped early. Additionally, the patient may require supportive treatment. In acetaminophen toxicity, however, the initial insult can be fatal. Fulminant hepatic failure from drug-induced hepatotoxicity may require liver transplantation. In the past, glucocorticoids in allergic features and ursodeoxycholic acid in cholestatic cases had been used, but there is no good evidence to support their effectiveness. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_toxicity |
In most cases, many risk factors for precancerous conditions and lesions are the same risk factors that determines individuals vulnerable to a specific cancer. For example, individuals with cervical or anal infection with oncogenic, or cancer causing, strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) are at higher risk for cervical and anal cancers, as well as for cervical and anal dysplasia. Similarly, sun or especially UV exposure is an important risk factor for both actinic keratosis which can progress into melanomas as well as skin cancer. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precancerous_condition |
Smoking is a risk factor for premalignant (as well as malignant) lung lesions. Hereditary conditions that are risk factors to cancer can also be risk factors to premalignant lesions. However, in many cases, precancerous conditions or lesions can be sporadic and idiopathic in nature, meaning that they are not associated with a hereditary genetic risk factor to the particular cancer, nor with a direct causative agent or other identifiable cause. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precancerous_condition |
In most cases, master blending is a skill achieved after years of experience. Notable examples of individuals in the industry who have achieved master blender status include: Stephanie Macleod: Macleod is the first woman to serve as master blender for John Dewar & Sons, the Scotch whisky maker behind the Dewar's brand. Rachel Barrie: Currently the master Scotch blender for BenRiach Distillery Company, Barrie has also served as master blender for Morrison Bowmore Distillers and Glenmorangie. She is credited as being the first female whisky blender (2003). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_blender |
Joy Spence: The longtime master blender for Appleton Estate Rum, Spence is credited as the first female master blender in the spirits industry (1997). Melanie Asher: The owner of Macchu Pisco, Asher is the first woman to own a pisco – a South American type of brandy – export company. Jassil Villanueva Quintana: The master blender for Brugal & Co. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_blender |
Rum, she is the first woman and the youngest individual to serve as "maestra ronera" for the company. Dr. Jim Beveridge: Beveridge serves as master blender for Johnnie Walker Scotch whiskies, made by Diageo. Richard Paterson: In his role as master blender for Whyte & Mackay, Paterson is responsible for the Dalmore line of whiskies. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_blender |
Nicknamed "The Nose", he has a $2.6 million insurance policy on his nose issued by Lloyd's of London. Colin Scott: A longtime Scotch whisky blender, Scott serves as master blender for Chivas Brothers, a division of Pernod Ricard. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_blender |
His career also includes experience at Glenlivet Distillers and Seagram. Billy Leighton: Leighton serves as master blender for the Jameson Irish Whiskey line produced by Irish Distillers. Kirsteen Campbell: Campbell is the first female master blender for The Famous Grouse, a producer of Scotch whisky. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_blender |

In most cases, microorganisms live in harmony with their hosts via mutual or commensal interactions. Diseases can emerge when existing parasites become pathogenic or when new pathogenic parasites enter a new host. Coevolution between parasite and host can lead to hosts becoming resistant to the parasites or the parasites may evolve greater virulence, leading to immunopathological disease. Human activity is involved with many emerging infectious diseases, such as environmental change enabling a parasite to occupy new niches. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_infection |
When that happens, a pathogen that had been confined to a remote habitat has a wider distribution and possibly a new host organism. Parasites jumping from nonhuman to human hosts are known as zoonoses. Under disease invasion, when a parasite invades a new host species, it may become pathogenic in the new host.Several human activities have led to the emergence of zoonotic human pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and rickettsia, and spread of vector-borne diseases, see also globalization and disease and wildlife disease: Encroachment on wildlife habitats. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_infection |
The construction of new villages and housing developments in rural areas force animals to live in dense populations, creating opportunities for microbes to mutate and emerge. Changes in agriculture. The introduction of new crops attracts new crop pests and the microbes they carry to farming communities, exposing people to unfamiliar diseases. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_infection |
The destruction of rain forests. As countries make use of their rain forests, by building roads through forests and clearing areas for settlement or commercial ventures, people encounter insects and other animals harboring previously unknown microorganisms. Uncontrolled urbanization. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_infection |
The rapid growth of cities in many developing countries tends to concentrate large numbers of people into crowded areas with poor sanitation. These conditions foster transmission of contagious diseases. Modern transport. Ships and other cargo carriers often harbor unintended "passengers", that can spread diseases to faraway destinations. While with international jet-airplane travel, people infected with a disease can carry it to distant lands, or home to their families, before their first symptoms appear. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_infection |
In most cases, modern Raman spectrometers use array detectors such as CCDs. Various types of CCDs exist which are optimized for different wavelength ranges. Intensified CCDs can be used for very weak signals and/or pulsed lasers. The spectral range depends on the size of the CCD and the focal length of spectrograph used.It was once common to use monochromators coupled to photomultiplier tubes. In this case the monochromator would need to be moved in order to scan through a spectral range. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raman_spectrometer |
In most cases, motoring dynamometers are symmetrical; a 300 kW AC dynamometer can absorb 300 kW as well as motor at 300 kW. This is an uncommon requirement in engine testing and development. Sometimes, a more cost-effective solution is to attach a larger absorption dynamometer with a smaller motoring dynamometer. Alternatively, a larger absorption dynamometer and a simple AC or DC motor may be used in a similar manner, with the electric motor only providing motoring power when required (and no absorption). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer |
The (cheaper) absorption dynamometer is sized for the maximum required absorption, whereas the motoring dynamometer is sized for motoring. A typical size ratio for common emission test cycles and most engine development is approximately 3:1. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer |
Torque measurement is somewhat complicated since there are two machines in tandem - an inline torque transducer is the preferred method of torque measurement in this case. An eddy-current or waterbrake dynamometer, with electronic control combined with a variable frequency drive and AC induction motor, is a commonly used configuration of this type. Disadvantages include requiring a second set of test cell services (electrical power and cooling), and a slightly more complicated control system. Attention must be paid to the transition between motoring and braking in terms of control stability. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer |
In most cases, multiple sets of values or data are used to test the same functionality of a particular feature. All the test values and changeable environmental components are collected in separate files and stored as test data. It is also useful to provide this data to the client and with the product or a project. There are techniques to generate Test data. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_testing |
In most cases, mutilation wounds appear to be clean and carried out surgically. Mutilated animals are sometimes reported to have been drained of blood and show no sign of blood in the immediate area or around their wounds. According to Howard Burgess, nearly 90 percent of mutilated cattle are between four and five years old.In some cases, strange marks or imprints near the site have been found. In the famous "Snippy" case, there was an absolute absence of tracks in a 100 ft (30 m) radius of the carcass (even the horse's own tracks disappeared within 100 ft (30 m) of the body.) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_mutilation |
But within this radius, several small holes were found seemingly "punched" in the ground and two bushes were absolutely flattened. In Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, June 1976, a "trail of suction cup-like impressions" was found leading from a mutilated three-year-old cow. The indentations were in a tripod form, 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, 28 inches (71 cm) apart, and disappeared 500 feet (150 m) from the dead cow. Similar incidents were reported in the area in 1978. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_mutilation |
In most cases, no obvious cause for CML can be isolated. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Myelogenous_Leukemia |
In most cases, nuclear ballistic missile submarines generally resemble attack subs of the same generation, with extra length to accommodate SLBMs, such as the Russian R-29 (SS-N-23) or the NATO-fielded and American-manufactured Polaris, Poseidon, and Trident-II missiles. Some early models had to surface to launch their missiles, but modern vessels typically launch while submerged at keel depths of usually less than 50 metres (160 ft). Missiles are launched upwards with an initial velocity sufficient for them to pop above the surface, at which point their rocket motors fire, beginning the characteristic parabolic climb-from-launch of a ballistic missile. Compressed air ejection, later replaced by gas-steam ejection, was developed by Captain Harry Jackson of Rear Admiral Raborn's Special Project Office when a proposed missile elevator proved too complex. Jackson also derived the armament of 16 missiles used in many SSBNs for the George Washington class in 1957, based on a compromise between firepower and hull integrity. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_Missile_Submarine |
