Amplitude and Width Manipulations in Fitts' Paradigm: Comment on Heath et al. (2011) and Heath et al. (2016) | ABSTRACTHeath, Weiler, Marriott, Elliott, and Binstead (2011) and Heath, Samani, Tremblay, and Elliott (2016) have claimed that there are dissociable movement times for amplitude and width manipulations in the Fitts' paradigm. This may to some extent be true, but the Heath et al. (2011) and Heath et al. (2016) data do not support that contention, as shown in this comment. It is shown that data from the research of Heath et al. is not in the range of index of difficulty where ongoing visual control would be used and hence their fits of data to Fitts' law are spurious. The data of Heath et al. (2011) for arm movements and for the primary eye saccade submovements of Heath et al. (2016) are well correlated by the ballistic movement time equation of Hoffmann (1981) and Gan and Hoffmann (1988). When the ballistic equation is used to model data for constant amplitude and constant target width conditions, the effects of the amplitude and width manipulations disappear. Other research indicates that the independent... | s2orc_title_abstract |

Question about sanding back frame (for a repaint) | So I'm in the process of rebuilding my 1981 CX500. I've spent a bit of time pulling it apart (too long actually, just over 2 years) and I'm now down to restoring the frame and then onto everything else from the ground up.
I just wanted to ask a few questions about sanding back my frame. I'm now down to bare metal (after stripping off the paint) and at the stage that I'm trying to get it ready for a primer coat.
I have a few pictures here and just wanted some advice.
Number one you'll notice is that there was a decent amount of minor surface rust (bike is over 31 years old and hadn't been touched since factory). It's in a weird sort of "spider-web" like fingers. Is this normal? I thought it was strange, however it is just surface rust which I assumed would have accumulated over that amount of time. Perhaps the original paint (or powdercoat, not sure what it was) has cracked and the webs are where water got in.
Anyway I'm cutting it back with a cutting disc and that's going well (not too abrasive) but since it's on an angle grinder it's hard to get in all the nooks and crannys so I am resorting to hand sanding with 180 grit where I can.
I plan on maybe a finer grit paper if I need to after the basic sand back.
So my questions:
Is 180 grit too abrasive (too many scratches) to paint a primer straight onto? Will I need to sand back with something like 400 before the primer / base coat goes on (considering that *I will* sand in between primer coats with 800 - 1200 grit)? (example of a *rudimentary* hand sand here
Am I sanding back enough? There is still slight grooves (sort of like deep scratches, with no rust in them) that exists after I sand off the spider webs. Do I need to remove the grooves altogether?
Could anyone point me to any "frame preparation" guides? I did do some searching and couldn't find anything as to whether or not I had to get down to super-smooth metal to then paint a primer or whether maybe 180 or 240 grit was fine enough.
Thanks! | reddit_title_body |
who fired the first shots at huningen | Siege of Hüningen (1796–97) fortress became more dire. The batteries called "Charles" and "Elizabeth" that girded the fortress downstream (see map in box) poured balls and shells into the fort, destroying the pontoons connecting the island fortifications to the mainland on both sides. Eventually the battery "Ferdinand" (located more or less due east) added to the shelling. The Austrians continued to expand their trenches and redoubts, creating an earthwork along the Swiss border. From these angles, the Austrians could deploy deadly artillery and musketry fire into the French positions.

Temporal trends of element concentrations and ecophysiological parameters in the lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea transplanted in and around an industrial area of S Italy | This study investigated the temporal trends of element concentrations and ecophysiological parameters (integrity of cell membranes, membrane lipid peroxidation, and sample vitality) in thalli of the lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea transplanted in and around an industrial area of S Italy from May 2010 to May 2011, once every 3 months. Element accumulation at levels indicating that the atmosphere of the study area was polluted by most elements occurred only during the third trimester of exposure, and the ecophysiological parameter best reflecting this trend was sample vitality expressed in terms of activity of the enzyme dehydrogenase. Among the available climatological parameters, the different amount of rainfall during the exposure period may influence the results, especially the number of hours with rainfall >16 mm/day, which is the threshold between light-moderate and moderate-heavy rainfall in the Mediterranean area. | s2orc_title_abstract |

When did republicanism and the capability approach arise? | A pair of overlapping political perspectives arising toward the end of the 20th century are republicanism (or neo- or civic-republicanism) and the capability approach. The resurgent republican movement aims to provide an alternate definition of liberty from Isaiah Berlin's positive and negative forms of liberty, namely "liberty as non-domination." Unlike liberals who understand liberty as "non-interference," "non-domination" entails individuals not being subject to the arbitrary will of anyother person. To a liberal, a slave who is not interfered with may be free, yet to a republican the mere status as a slave, regardless of how that slave is treated, is objectionable. Prominent republicans include historian Quentin Skinner, jurist Cass Sunstein, and political philosopher Philip Pettit. The capability approach, pioneered by economists Mahbub ul Haq and Amartya Sen and further developed by legal scholar Martha Nussbaum, understands freedom under allied lines: the real-world ability to act. Both the capability approach and republicanism treat choice as something which must be resourced. In other words, it is not enough to be legally able to do something, but to have the real option of doing it. | squad |

BEES ALGORITHM BASED OPTIMUM DESIGN of OPEN CANAL SECTIONS | Engineering optimization has been used in a wide spread of fields that attracts the attention of designers. One of the engineering optimization problems is the optimization of the open canals which are mostly used as water transfer structures in water resources. Design of open canal structures is a complex task due to the fact that the designer has to select suitable dimensions of sections within certain range of values and such selection should satisfy the flow requirements to convey a specific discharge in the canal. In this study, dimensions of cross sections of open canals are optimized by using bees algorithm in order to investigate performance of this algorithm in the optimum design of open canal problems. Four design problems are considered to optimize and results obtained from these problems are compared to results obtained from previous studies. | s2orc_title_abstract |

A story of guardian angels (x/post Chrsitianity) | Lemme introduce myself. I'm a Catholic seminarian, going to college in St. Paul, Minnesota. Whatever you may think about guardian angels, I firmly believe in them and today I feel so blessed to have one.
Today me, my roommate, and a fellow seminarian went on what we call a "Fun Run", which is basically parkouring around campus and then running along the Mississippi and climbing the bluffs along the river. On one bluff we scaled my roommate and I nearly died. We were going up a nearly vertical bluff and my roommate grappled on top of a slab of rock sticking maybe 45 degrees out of the bluff. After he got up, I grabbed onto it and tried to pull myself up. The slab, probably over six inches thick, cracked down the middle and fell down the bluff. Had I been a foot to the right it would have came down on top of me and I would have been a goner... had it broken when my roommate was standing on it we both would have fallen down the bluff. After the run was over our fellow seminarian (who climbed the bluff a different way) realized that we should thank our guardian angels... for they were pushing my roommate off of the rock before it cracked and pushing me to the left to keep us from falling to our deaths.

The study was carried out by the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman, Italy .
Researchers conducted a whole-genome study of the Tyrolean iceman .
They found he had an increased genetic risk for coronary heart disease .
In particular, the iceman's genome featured several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
These SNPs have been linked with modern-day cardiovascular disease . | Scans of Otzi the iceman have already given unprecedented insights into how our ancestors lived, but the latest find could be one of the most significant. Not only have researchers discovered the 5,300-year-old mummy suffered from atherosclerosis - narrowing of the arteries due to fatty deposits - they have found he may have been genetically predisposed to the condition. This is significant because evidence of genetic tendencies are notoriously difficult to obtain due to the degradation of remains. Following a whole-genome study of the iceman (pictured) researchers discovered he had an increased genetic risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). In particular, the iceman's genome featured several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been linked with modern-day cardiovascular disease in more recent studies . The find also highlights that despite lifestyles becoming more sedentary since Otzi was alive, genetic predisposition and risk for the condition today appears to be very similar to that in ancient times. Atherosclerosis is a potentially serious condition where arteries become clogged up by fatty substances known as plaques or atheroma. The plaques cause affected arteries to harden and narrow, which can be dangerous as restricted blood flow can damage organs and stop them functioning properly. If a plaque ruptures, it can cause a blood clot. This can block the blood supply to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or it can block the blood supply to the brain, triggering a stroke. Source: NHS Choices . The research was carried out by Professor Albert Zink from the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman at the European Academy of Bolzano in Italy. Following a whole-genome study of the Tyrolean iceman, a glacier mummy from the Alps, the researchers discovered he was at increased risk of coronary heart disease. In particular, the iceman's genome featured several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been linked with modern-day cardiovascular disease in more recent studies. This is of particular interest because CT scans of Otzi have already revealed major blockages in several major blood vessels, including the carotid arteries, distal aorta, and right iliac artery. This is of particular interest because computed tomography (CT) scans of Otzi (pictured) have already revealed major calcification in several major blood vessels, including the carotid arteries, distal aorta, and right iliac artery. All of which are strong signs of generalised atherosclerotic disease . Otzi (pictured) was unearthed in September 1991 by German tourists trekking through the Oetz Valley, after which he was named. His perfectly preserved body is stored in his own specially designed cold storage chamber at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Italy at a constant temperature of -6°C . The authors added that modern traditional cardiac risk factors - such as being overweight, smoking, lack of physical activity, and a high fat diet - can generally be ruled out in a person from this era. In particular, the genetic sequencing data demonstrates that Otzi had a very specific genetic mutation - namely that he was homozygous for the minor allele (GG) of rs10757274, located in chromosomal region 9p21. This is currently seen as being among the strongest genetic predictors of heart attacks, and has been confirmed in several studies as a major risk factor for heart disease. The 5,300-year-old ice mummy, known . as Otzi, suffered from the world's first-known case of Lyme disease - a . bacterial parasite spread by ticks, according to DNA analysis. Analysis also revealed Otzi was 5ft 2 inches (1.5 metres) tall, had brown . eyes, had relatives in Sardinia, and was lactose intolerant. He was unearthed in September 1991 by German tourists trekking through the Oetz Valley, after which he was named. He was believed to have been around 46 years old when he died. The iceman has been crucial to the understanding of how prehistoric people lived, what they wore and even what they ate. The iceman's tattoos (pictured) which are largely seen on the parts of his body that endured wear-and-tear, lead archaeologists to liken the practice of tattooing to acupuncture, which is itself an ancient treatment for joint distress . For example, researchers examining the contents of his stomach worked out that his final meal consisted of venison and ibex meat. Archaeologists believe Otzi, who was carrying a bow, a quiver of arrows and a copper axe, may have been a hunter or warrior killed in a skirmish with a rival tribe. A hole in his collarbone suggested he was killed by an arrow, then a brain scan concluded he died from a fall. But research from the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen (EURAC) in Germany more recently discovered he suffered brain damage likely caused by a blow to the head. Researchers also believe he was arthritic and infested with whipworm, an intestinal parasite. The iceman's tattoos, which are largely seen on the parts of his body that endured wear-and-tear, lead archaeologists to liken the practice of tattooing to acupuncture, which is itself an ancient treatment for joint distress. His perfectly preserved body is stored in his own specially designed cold storage chamber at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Italy at a constant temperature of -6°C. Visitors can view the mummy through a small window. Alongside his remains is a new Otzi model created using 3D images of the corpse and forensic technology by two Dutch artists – Alfons and Adrie Kennis. ‘Our ancestors going back thousands of years show signs of atherosclerosis,’ said the researchers. Archaeologists believe Otzi (reconstruction pictured) who was carrying a bow, a quiver of arrows and a copper axe when he died . ‘Even though our human ancestors lived far different lives than we do, their environments and lifestyles were not protecting them against the development of atherosclerosis.’ They added: ‘What is similar between now and then is the human genetic material, our genome, were uncovered to predispose the carrier to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. ‘However, our ancient ancestors were certainly susceptible to many other conditions, such as infectious diseases, nutritional deprivation, and trauma. '[These] often resulted in death at an early age, before atherosclerotic heart disease had a clinical impact.’ Future genetic studies of ancient humans have the potential to provide more insights into the presence and possible changes of genetic risk factors in our ancestors. ‘The study of ancient humans and a better understanding of the interaction between environmental and genetic influences on the development of heart diseases may lead to a more effective prevention and treatment of the most common cause of death in the modern world,’ concluded the researchers. | cnn |

Average and local magnetic moments on Fe atoms in microcrystalline and amorphous Fe100−xPx alloys | Abstract We have measured the concentration dependence of the average magnetic moment per Fe atom mFe(x) in microcrystalline and amorphous Fe-P alloys obtained over a wide concentration range using electrochemical deposition. The model of local magnetic moments has been used to described mFe(x). On the basis of this model the effects of phosphorus on the value mFe are explained in terms of the parameters of the local environment of the Fe atom. | s2orc_title_abstract |

1. Muscarinic cholinergic receptors have been identified and characterized by radioligand binding studies in human peripheral lung tissue. The tissue was obtained at thoracotomy of 12 patients, of whom four had chronic obstructive lung disease. 2. The radioligand l-quinuclidinyl[phenyl-4-3H]benzilate (3H-QNB) was used to label the muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Binding was saturable, protein dependent and showed a high affinity and stereospecificity. Specific binding could be inhibited by agonists and antagonists; molar inhibition constants determined for the agents used were of the same order of magnitude as those reported for 3H-QNB inhibition in various tissues of laboratory animals. Inhibition experiments with agonists resulted in Hill slopes which were significantly different from unity, indicating multiple binding sites. The stable GTP analogue guanyl-5′-imidodiphosphate had no effect on the Hill slopes of agonists or antagonists. 3. The number of binding sites was significantly less in lung tissue from patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. | SummaryMuscarinic receptors in human tracheal smooth muscle were characterized by radioligand binding and functional studies. Specific [3H]-(−)-quinuclidinylbenzilate ([3H]-(−)-QNB) binding to tracheal smooth muscle membranes was reversible, stereoselective and of high affinity (Kd=47±4 pmol/l;RT=920±120 fmol/g tissue). Inhibition of specific [3H]-(−)-QNB binding by the M-1 selective antagonist pirenzepine was found to occur at relative high concentrations classifying the muscarinic receptor population as belonging to the M-2 subclass.Inhibition of specific [3H]-(−)-QNB binding by muscarinic agonists revealed the presence of high and low affinity sites in nearly equal proportions. 5′-Guanylylimidodiphosphate converted high affinity sites into low affinity sites although its effect was minimal. Log dose-contraction curves of methacholine had Hill coefficients of 1.10±0.04 with pD2-values of 6.75±0.02.Inhibition of specific [3H]-(−)-QNB binding by methacholine, however, was best described by a two binding site model with pKi-values considerably lower. The difference between these affinity values points to the presence of substantial receptor reserve. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
