The total daily average mobile time on the site via our smartphones is half an hour. Facebook is the third most popular app on smartphones, after email and the browser . Around 47 per cent of respondents say they look at Facebook while working out at the gym .
By . Fiona Keating . Good news for people who think they are Facebook fanatics. Unless you’re checking the social media site at least 14 times a day, you’re actually BELOW the national average. The results from a survey may confirm suspicions about how much smartphones have become an integral part of our lives. It seems that 79 per cent of smartphone users check for their devices within 15 minutes of waking up. Latest model: The HTC One can take four digital photos per second . A majority - 62 per cent - don't even wait 15 minutes, and grab their phones immediately. (Among 18-24 year olds, the numbers rise to 89 per cent and 74 per cent.) The research by IDC was sponsored by Facebook, which is the third most popular app on smartphones, after email and the browser. Around 70 per cent of smartphone users are frequent Facebook visitors, with more than half of them checking it every day. Peak Facebook time is during the evening, just before bed. On average, we visit the Facebook app or the site 13.8 times during the day, for two minutes and 22 seconds each time. The total daily average mobile time on the site via our smartphones is half an hour. Socially moble: Facebook is the third most popular app on smartphones, after email and the browser . That's roughly a fifth of all the time we spend communicating; it's only slightly less time than we spend texting. On weekends, we check Facebook more than we text. Almost half of Facebook users check on updates while out and about. The gym is one of the most popular places, with 48 per cent accessing the site. Some 46 per cent of us check it when we're shopping or running errands. And a surprisingly high number of us checking while preparing a meal – nearly half of all respondents - at 47 per cent. Movie etiquette has certainly changed since the advent of smartphones as 50 per cent of users say they have checked Facebook while at the movies. It seems that many people are using the social media site for useful purposes – around half browse news feeds, while the rest of the time is divided fairly evenly between Facebook messaging and posting updates. Half of Facebook users play games via the service on their phone a few times a day. Pinterest has practically caught up with Twitter, according to Pew Research, with 15 per cent and 16 per cent of adult US Internet users on each network, respectively. Pinterest, which launched in 2009, has experienced explosive growth, especially with a white, female and affluent user base. Women are five times more likely to use Pinterest (5 per cent vs. 25 per cent) and almost twice as likely to be white and college-educated. It’s become a magnet for hip urbanites searching for the hottest wedding gowns and apartment decor. Twitter, however, gets a lot more attention, with Middle Eastern activists using it to publicise the latest political news, without state censorship. In the United States 67 pe rcent of online adults say they use Facebook, 15 per cent of online adults say they use Pinterest, 13 per cent of online adults say they use Instagram, 6 percent of online adults say they use Tumblr, and 16 percent of online adults say they use.

Individual Cognitive Structuring and the Sociocultural Context: Strategy Shifts in the Game of Dominoes
In this article, I explore the relation between the sociocultural and individual cognitive structuring as elementary school students, high school students, and adults play the strategic game of dominoes. I present data from a study in which players at each level were observed and video-recorded during domino tournament play. Findings reveal the cognitive and mathematical skills players developed as well as how those skills were fundamentally integrated with shifts in the activity structures of the game as players got older. Implications for understanding cognition and context and for teaching and learning are discussed.

Amazing and very comfortable headset at a wonderful price!
This headset is amazing and very comfortable! The sound is very good and I was able to size it perfectly for me and I will be buying one for my wife. The gel ear seals are so comfortable and don't get hot as many of them do. So I don't have the "sweaty" feeling and my ears don't feel rubbed on like many headsets can do and they get almost chafed with some, but not these. These are so very comfortable! There is also a fabric cover for the gel ear seal and my I like to leave them on over them for added protection of both the seals as well as my ears, but my wife prefers them off. The carrying bag is so nice to carry it in and appears to be very durable to keep it in. I have been using this for about 3 weeks and very pleased with it and will post an update if I need to! We have a Cessna 175 that we have plugged these into and the sound quality is so good and it blocks out so much of the outside noise. For the price you just can't beat these! As I stated I will be buying another set for my wife and probably two more later for any passengers that we have in the back seat. I will post an update if needed as I use them to keep you posted on the durability, but I don't expect any problems. So for I highly recommend them!

Great if you want to drive completely the wrong way.....
I got this as a Christmas gift, and I had high hopes for it as I do alot of traveling in-state. It honestly depends on its mood whether I will get to the correct destination or not. I can be on the same road as my intended stop, and it will keep shouting to take turns, turn back, etc, even when I reach the destination. Other times it totally wants me to go in the opposite direction (i.e. west rather than east, although the destination is east.) Also, it is telling you to take turns and is naming roads that are over a mile ahead of where you currently are. One time I typed in a place in the next city (had the state correct, double checked it) and it actually decided to try and take me into the next state!!! SCARY. Also, the manual is on a disc and is completely awful. Hate this GPS!!!!!!!

Post Polymerization of Saturated and Unsaturated Poly(3-hydroxy alkanoate)s
Chemical modification is useful to diversify poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s, for medical and industrial applications. In this manner, transesterification reactions of poly(3-hydroxy butyrate) were carried out under reflux condition of 1,2-dichlorobenzene in the presence of 1,4-butane diol, poly(ethylene glycol) bis(2-aminopropyl ether) with molecular weights of 1000 and 2000, poly(ethylene glycol)methacrylate or glycerol at 180 °C. Addition reactions of bromine and -SH groups of 3-mercaptopropionic acid to the double bond of poly(3-hydroxy-10 -undecenoate) were also carried out. Functionalized poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s were characterized using 1 H NMR, FTIR, GPC and thermal analysis techniques.

Sustainable Land Use Forum
The Sustainable Land Use Forum (SLUF) is a local Ethiopian non-governmental organization established in 1995 in Addis Ababa. It is a network of like-minded organizations under the name “NOVIB Partners Forum on Sustainable Land Use in Ethiopia and Eritrea”. The organisation was established due to data received from a 1994 study exposing severe land degradation and unsustainable population dynamics in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Partnerships with Eritrean organizations were discontinued due to the war between the two countries in 1998. NOVIB has been gradually expanding the scope, geographic locations and diversity of its programs in Ethiopia, paving the way for SLUF in February 2002 and renamed as Sustainable Land Use Forum. In accordance with the Charities and Societies Proclamation No. 621/2009, SLUF was re-registered as an Ethiopian Residents Charities Consortium with certificate no. 0523 on November 2009. SLUF is a membership organization where membership is open to all organizations engaged in Sustainable Land Use and Natural Resources Management. As of 2014 it had 29 members consisting of 3 international and 26 local NGOs. One of the international NGOs is an Honorary Member.

She was the first woman trombonist to play in big bands during the 1940s and 1960s, but as her career progressed became better known as an arranger particularly in partnership with pianist Randy Weston.

Steady data reconciliation and gross error detection based on the assumption of bounded error distribution
Reliable process data are the key to the efficient operation of chemical plants. As a result of random and possibly gross errors, these measurements do not generally satisfy the process constraints. Thus data reconciliation and gross error detection are needed before the measurements can be used successfully. Almost all existing rectification methods are developed on the hypothesis that the measurement errors are normally distributed with zero mean and a known covariance matrix. However the errors are bounded distinctly in nature, whereas normal distribution is unbounded in both sides. A new method for simultaneous steady data reconciliation and gross error detection is presented assuming that the errors are subject to the bounded contaminated normal distribution. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on an atmospheric distillation tower.

what is the abbreviation for document extension
Doc (computing) In computing, DOC or doc (an abbreviation of "document") is a filename extension for word processing documents, most commonly in the proprietary "Microsoft Word Binary File Format". Historically, the extension was used for documentation in plain text, particularly of programs or computer hardware on a wide range of operating systems. During the 1980s, WordPerfect used DOC as the extension of their proprietary format. Later, in 1983, Microsoft chose to use the DOC extension for their proprietary Microsoft Word format. These uses for the extension have largely disappeared from the PC world. Binary DOC files often contain more text

To unveil genetic variations between the predominant soybean mosaic virus(SMV)strains in China and in the USA,as well as to reveal the potential relevance between the similarity of gene sequences and the virulence of the viruses,we isolated and sequenced the coat protein(CP)gene of Chinese SMV strain SC7 by RT-PCR and compared the SC7 sequence with those of SMV strains from the USA.Analysis is showed that the CP gene of SC7 was 795nucleotides in length and encoded 265 in amino acids'.The CP gene of SC7 and those of the strains from the USA exhibited 4%-5% nucleotide diversity and 1%-2%diversity amino acids.The conserved amino-acid sequence associated with aphid spread in the USA strains was DAG,and corresponded to DAD in SC7.The virulence of SC7 was greater than that of the SMV strains from the USA.Nevertheless,no clear relationships between sequence similarity of the CP genes from different strains and their virulence on differential hosts were found.

Echocardiographic aortic valve calcification and outcomes in women and men with aortic stenosis
Objective Sex differences in risk factors of aortic valve calcification (AVC) by echocardiography have not been reported from a large prospective study in aortic stenosis (AS). Methods AVC was assessed using a prognostically validated visual score and grouped into none/mild or moderate/severe AVC in 1725 men and women with asymptomatic AS in the Simvastatin Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis study. The severity of AS was assessed by the energy loss index (ELI) taking pressure recovery in the aortic root into account. Results More men than women had moderate/severe AVC at baseline despite less severe AS by ELI (p Conclusion In conclusion, AVC scored by echocardiography has sex-specific characteristics in AS. Moderate/severe AVC is associated with higher cardiovascular morbidity in both sexes, and with higher all-cause mortality in men. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00092677

Demonstration of the omnipresence of noise in volatilities of returns of financial instruments.Demonstration that more than 30% of SP500 securities can have percentage change in volatility of more than 10% as a result of noise filtering.In our white paper “Filtering Noise From Correlation Matrices” we have described in detail the source of noise in the correlation matrices. It is natural to assume that the same noise is present in the covariance matrix too. In particular, variances (diagonal elements of the covariance matrix - squares of volatility) contain noise as well. Our noise-filtering procedure is capable of reducing noise contained in variances in a coherent way with the noise reduction in the initial correlation matrix.

Axonal anterograde degeneration after ablation of different leg segments of the spiderCupiennius salei was traced using LM-and EM-methods. The pattern of degeneration seen in cross sections of the leg nerves close to their entry into the subesophageal ganglion shows a somatotopic organization of afferents within the leg nerves coming from different leg segments. All afferents run through the ventral part of the nerve.
SummaryCobalt filling into spider legs reveals plurisegmental receptor endings and the plurisegmental origin of motor neurons. Motor neuron dendrites are organized into two domains, one interacting with plurisegmental receptors, the other arborizing within the lateral neuropil of the leg neuromere. The intersegmental organization of both motor and sensory elements supports behavioural studies demonstrating inhibitory connections between legs.

A modernized version of an old saying goes that "If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million." Although made with reference to "YouTube", the quotation also has relevance for microbiologists when one considers how modern microscopes can be used to track biological fluorophores for hours without bleaching or phototoxicity. Confocal fluorescence microscopy provides a powerful tool for capturing dynamic processes within a cellular context that are better understood when viewed using time-lapse videos. In our laboratory we have long been interested in the links between poxvirus DNA replication and recombination and, since these are cytoplasmic viruses, such DNA-dependent processes are easily imaged throughout the virus life cycle without interference from signals coming from nuclear DNA. In this chapter we outline methods that can be used to follow the movement and replication of vaccinia virus DNA, and to also detect the products of poxvirus-catalyzed recombination reactions. We describe how to use the bacteriophage lambda DNA-binding protein, cro, as a way of labeling DNA within a cell when it is conjugated to fluorescent proteins. When used in conjunction with other fluorescent reagents, new labeling technologies, and tagged reporter constructs, these approaches can generate visually appealing and highly informative insights into diverse aspects of vaccinia virus biology.
Poxviruses replicate in cytoplasmic structures called factories and each factory begins as a single infecting particle. Sixty-years ago Cairns predicted that this might have effects on vaccinia virus (VACV) recombination because the factories would have to collide and mix their contents to permit recombination. We've since shown that factories collide irregularly and that even then the viroplasm mixes poorly. We’ve also observed that while intragenic recombination occurs frequently early in infection, intergenic recombination is less efficient and happens late in infection. Something inhibits factory fusion and viroplasm mixing but what is unclear. To study this, we’ve used optical and electron microscopy to track factory movement in co-infected cells and correlate these observations with virus development and recombinant formation. While the technical complexity of the experiments limited the number of cells that are amenable to extensive statistical analysis, these studies do show that intergenic recombination coincides with virion assembly and when VACV replication has declined to ≤10% of earlier levels. Along the boundaries between colliding factories, one sees ER membrane remnants and other cell constituents like mitochondria. These collisions don't always cause factory fusion, but when factories do fuse, they still entrain cell constituents like mitochondria and ER-wrapped microtubules. However, these materials wouldn’t seem to pose much of a further barrier to DNA mixing and so it’s likely that the viroplasm also presents an omnipresent impediment to DNA mixing. Late packaging reactions might help to disrupt the viroplasm, but packaging would sequester the DNA just as the replication and recombination machinery goes into decline and further reduce recombinant yields. Many factors thus appear to conspire to limit recombination between co-infecting poxviruses.

The Awakening of Sunshine Girl
I bought this book at the request of my 10-year-old daughter because she had read the entire first book in the series within days of getting it from her school library. She was chomping at the bit to read the next book, Awakening of Sunshine Girl, so I had to get it for her. I love that it has fueled her love for reading. When she had finished the book, she kept telling me about everything that happened in it and said that I need to read it too...of course after she has let all of her friends borrow it.

This isn't the lugz I know
So I've been buying lugz for years because thay last so long unfortunately I don't think I'll get over a year with these. First off when thay came there was stiching coming out the bottom where the sho strings end. Two after just a mouth the heal has already started to wear down. Never been disappointed by lugz until today.

The physical structure of two riffles in a lowland Danish stream was studied and its importance for the composition and density of the macroinvertebrate communities was evaluated. The two riffles were visually assessed to be very similar, but measurements revealed that they differed in overall hydraulic conditions, stability, substratum composition and consolidation. Differences affected abundance of both burrowing and surface dwelling macroinvertebrates. The unstable unconsolidated riffle had higher total macroinvertebrate abundance (4137 m−2 vs. 1698 m−2), diptera abundance (2329 m−2 vs. 386 m−2) and total estimated species richness (31.7 vs. 28.8) as well as lower evenness (0.77 vs. 0.83) than the compact riffle. Among samples within the unconsolidated riffle, variations in macroinvertebrate communities were related to differences in mean substratum particle size. Here a linear log–log relationship existed between macroinvertebrate abundance, the abundance of EPT taxa and the median particle size (r2total = 0.46, p = 0.002; r2EPT = 0.73, p < 0.001). No similar relationships were evident on the consolidated riffle. Moreover, macroinvertebrate communities on the unconsolidated riffle were dominated by species with a high colonising potential. Despite being assessed to the same morphological unit, physical variation between riffles was surprisingly high as the riffles differed substantially with respect to consolidation, substratum heterogeneity and overall hydraulic structure. Macroinvertebrate community structure and composition also differed between riffles despite being drawn from the same species pool. The findings address the question if we use the correct methods and parameters when assessing the macroinvertebrate communities at the scale of the morphological unit.
An extensive amount of literature on linkages between the in-stream physical environment and river benthic macroinvertebrates reports a number of relationships across multiple spatial scales. We analyzed data on different spatial scales to elucidate the linkages between different measurements of hydromorphological degradation and commonly used macroinvertebrate indices. A regression analysis of 1049 sites from 3 countries revealed that the strongest relationship between a biotic metric--average score per taxon--and physiochemical variables (R2 = 0.61) was obtained with a multiple regression model that included concentration of total phosphorus and percent arable land in the catchment, as well as hydromorphological quality variables. Analyses of 3 data sets from streams primarily affected by hydromorphological degradation showed an overall weak relationship (max R2 = 0.25) with the River Habitat Survey data of 28 Swedish streams, whereas moderate (R2 approximately 0.43) relationships with more detailed measurements of morphology were found in 2 Danish studies (39 and 6 streams, respectively). Although evidence exists in the literature on the importance of physical features for in-stream biota in general and macroinvertebrates specifically, we found only relatively weak relationships between various measures of hydromorphological stress and commonly used macroinvertebrate assessment tools. We attribute this to a combination of factors, including 1) the mixed nature of pressures acting on the majority of river reaches, 2) scaling issues (spatial and temporal) when relating habitat surveys to macroinvertebrate assessments, and 3) the scope of commonly used macroinvertebrate assessment systems (mainly focusing on water chemistry perturbation, such as eutrophication and acidification). The need is urgent to develop refined and updated biological assessment systems targeting hydromorphological stress for the use of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and national water-related policies.

What is our status as Linux users?
I have a little philosophical question for the new year that I would like to pose to the /r/chromeos community; what is our status as Linux users? To me, I feel that I can proudly and 100% truthfully still call myself a Linux user. I'm merely using a distribution skinned and maintained by Google (Highly modified Gentoo), as opposed to one skinned and maintained by Canonical (Ubuntu = Modified Debian (and maybe ruined, but that's a discussion for /r/linux)) However, I've seen a few people saying that Google Chrome really isn't a "true" Linux distribution. Has anyone else seen this and, if so, what is the reasoning behind this statement? From my perspective, Google Chrome is exactly what a Linux distribution should be; it is a fast, easy to maintain, secure operating system that *just works!* Thoughts?

Q about two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test
I have a sample of 2 random variables and want to examine if they originate from the same distro.Both are non-normally distributed;looks exponential but haven't performed any tests yet.So I do a two-sample KS test on matlab and also plot the overlapping CDFs. I do this for many and independent or even totally unrelated samples.I've noticed that the overlapping CDFs don't always give you an intuition of what the result of K-S will be.I've seen the K-S rejecting the null hypo,the 2 samples originated from the same distro,for CDFs that overlap very well.I've also seen the K-S not rejecting the null hypo,for CDFs that don't overlap that well. Does anyone have any advice?Is there something else I should check?
