A Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is a pair of functional blocks commonly used in high speed communications. These blocks convert data between serial data and parallel interfaces in each direction. The generic SerDes has two functions, the Parallel-to-Serial converter, sometimes called the Parallel-In Serial-Out (PISO) block, and the Serial-to-Parallel converter, sometimes called the Serial-In Parallel-Out (SIPO) block. The SIPO block has a serial clock and data inputs. The serial clock may have been recovered from the data stream using a clock recovery technique. The SIPO block then divides the incoming serial clock down to the parallel rate.
Typically, one or more SerDes blocks of an integrated circuit device may send occasional bursts of control signals (or keep-alive signals) at a fixed frequency to another integrated circuit device to ensure that the communications link between both integrated circuit devices is established and ready at all times. However, there is a concern that the SerDes blocks run continuously (i.e., at all times) regardless of whether there is a data signal to be sent between the two integrated circuit devices. This may result in increased power consumption and may inadvertently degrade performance and reliability of the integrated circuit device. |

Are Endosymbionts better Taxonomists than Scientists?
Two morphologies of Millepora, currently classified as separate species, exist in the Bahamas. Millepora complanata, is found primarily in shallow waters, possessing wide, smooth branches whereas Millepora alcicornis, is found primarily in deeper waters, possessing thinner, knobby branches. Upon discovery of a range of intermediate morphologies, questions arose concerning whether these different morphologies represent different species or whether the differences result from phenotypic plasticity of the two recognized species. Results from reef abundance surveys and ultrastructure morphometric analyses support the two species hypothesis. However, a genetic analysis of rDNA revealed the presence of two distinct cryptic clades that are independent of morphology. This suggests that the current taxonomy of the Millepores may not be accurate.
In order to resolve this taxonomic dilemma, we are taking advantage of the mutualistic association that Millepores form with the dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium. These obligate photosynthetic symbionts allow corals to thrive in shallow, nutrient-poor tropical seas and provide energy required to deposit calcium carbonate skeletons. Recent evidence has suggested that these symbionts are extremely diverse and fall into two categories: generalists and specialists. Specialists have been shown to form species-specific associations with their host corals. We are attempting to determine whether Symbiodinium-host specificity can be used as a diagnostic tool to better understand the phylogenetic relationship between the Millepores.
We have isolated Symbiodinium DNA from coral tissue and have begun a genetic analysis of the symbiont. Our hope is to uncover host-specific specialists that will lead us to a comprehensive understanding of speciation in the Millepore complex. |
From β-hCG values to counseling in tubal pregnancy: what do women want?
Tubal pregnancy represents an entity that every gynecologist will encounter during professional life. Because of the high prevalence among the pregnant population, standardized protocols are needed in order to choose the optimal strategy for each case. Accurate ultrasound pictures are supporting a more precise diagnosis of ectopic tubal pregnancy, the evolution of which should be closely monitored in follow-up with serial β-hCG values. Laparoscopy, intramuscular methotrexate, and active expectant management are all involved, however, tailoring the best treatment to the patient's needs is the challenge to focus on. This manuscript describes how in routinary practice an evidence-based diagnostic process should be the key factor to go for the best possible management. When possible, a longsighted less invasive approach should be preferred, aiming to preserve the patient's fertility for years to come. An optimal choice of the management should involve the patient or the couple in the decision-making process to reach the ultimate goal of compliance. |

Q:
How can one experimentally measure the velocity of water flowing through a pipe?
I am planning to investigate the effect of bend curvature of a pipe on velocity of water. For this, I will need to find the velocity of water through various pipe bends. Would placing an object in the water such that the objects velocity can be measured and equated to the waters velocity do the trick?
A:
I assume you want to see the velocity profile and not just the average velocity?
If so a common method (used for all the photos in Tritton) is to introduce a small particle/dye into the fluid. If you have see-through pipes you can quite easily caluclate the velcity of the particle/dye. You can then change the radius at whoch it gets introduced to see the velocity profile.
In order to stop turbulance I would recommend a slow or viscous fluid (low reynolds number), do you know about dynamical similarity?

Hufnagel procedure reconverted by endovascular leaflet dislocation and extirpation.
Before the development of standard aortic valve replacement, Hufnagel treated aortic insufficiency by implanting a ball-valve prosthesis in the descending thoracic aorta. In a patient who, after four major thoracic procedures, ultimately received two mechanical bileaflet valves in series (one in the ascending and one in the descending aorta), the downstream prosthesis became progressively immobilized, with total blockage of the leaflets in the open position due to insufficient transvalvular negative pressure gradient. After evaluation of this particular situation in an experimental model, we predicted blockage of the downstream prosthesis, once the ascending valve had regained normal function, and easily cleared the blockage of the distal valve by removing the two leaflets using balloon inflation. Normal circulation was clinically restored in three separate steps. (a) Normal function was re-established surgically in the ascending aorta position. (b) A second thoracotomy was avoided by endovascular dislocation of both blocked descending thoracic leaflets through endovascular balloon inflation. (c) Both leaflets embolized to the level of the left common iliac artery, where the nearly intact leaflets were removed surgically, finally creating a near-normal circulatory situation. |
Drain (surgery)
A surgical drain is a tube used to remove pus, blood or other fluids from a wound. They are commonly placed by surgeons or interventional radiologists.
Use
The routine use of drains for surgical procedures is diminishing as better radiological investigation and confidence in surgical technique have reduced their necessity. It is felt now that drains may hinder recovery by acting as an 'anchor' limiting mobility post surgery and the drain itself may allow infection into the wound. In certain situations their use is unavoidable.
Drains may be hooked to wall suction, a portable suction device, or they may be left to drain naturally. Accurate recording of the volume of drainage as well as the contents is vital to ensure proper healing and monitor for excessive bleeding. Depending on the amount of drainage, a patient may have the drain in place one day to weeks. Drains will have protective dressings that will need to be changed daily/as needed.
Complications
Drains have a tendency to become occluded or clogged, resulting in retained fluid that can contribute to infection or other complications. Thus efforts must be made to maintain and assess patency when they are in use. Once a drain becomes clogged or occluded, it is usually removed, as it is no longer providing any benefit.
Types of drains
Surgical drains can be broadly classified into:
Jackson-Pratt drain - consists of a perforated round or flat tube connected to a negative pressure collection device. The collection device is typically a bulb with a drainage port which can be opened to remove fluid or air. After compressing the bulb to remove fluid or air, negative pressure is created as the bulb returns to its normal shape.
Blake drain - a round silicone tube with channels that carry fluid to a negative pressure collection device. Drainage is thought to be achieved by capillary action, allowing fluid to travel through the open grooves into a closed cross section, which contains the fluid and allows it to be suctioned through the tube.
Penrose drain - a soft rubber tube
Negative pressure wound therapy - Involves the use of enclosed foam and a suction device attached; this is one of the newer types of wound healing/drain devices which promotes faster tissue granulation, often used for large surgical/trauma/non-healing wounds.
Redivac drain - a high negative pressure drain. Suction is applied through the drain to generate a vacuum and draw fluids into a bottle.
Pigtail drain - has an exterior screw to release the internal "pigtail" before it can be removed
Davol
Chest tube - is a flexible plastic tube that is inserted through the chest wall and into the pleural space or mediastinum

The role of podiatric medicine in the health-care team. A paradigm shift.
As physicians, podiatric medical doctors should not define themselves as medical professionals who treat the foot and ankle but rather as medical professionals who prevent, diagnose, and treat people who have foot and ankle problems. Patients who come to see podiatric physicians often have other health-care issues, and because of the education and training that doctors of podiatric medicine receive, they are uniquely qualified to identify and respond to findings not only related to the pedal extremity but also that may affect overall health, have a major effect on quality of life, and even help reduce overall health-care costs. The role of podiatric medicine as a truly integrated branch of medical care needs to be reassessed. |

Contemporary and future aerospace vehicle structural requirements appear to find advantageous features in the recent advances in filamentary composite materials. Structural designs utilizing composite materials to exploit the unidirectional nature thereof appear promising in aerospace structural components. Relatively thin resin preimpregnated carbon, graphite and other fiber tapes are commercially available wherein the fibers are parallel monofilaments that extend the length of the tape. Thin laminates of these tapes have been utilized heretofore but efforts to cure thick laminate sections have been difficult and have resulted in low quality of uneven physical property characteristics due to the entrapment of air or polymer by-products within the laminate caused by premature cure of the outer perimeter areas that close off the venting paths of the by-products and air. This has also caused density variation through the laminates since, as the thicker laminate warms and becomes viscous, the laminating pressures usually cause more resin flow or movement than desired to thereby create a washing effect or disorientation of the fibers and a resulting reduction of the directional strength. Further, as these prior art attempts to form thick laminates were cured, the chemical reactions of the polymer created heat via exothermic reactions faster than the surrounding surface could dissipate it. This caused the polymer to boil off by-products faster than they could escape with a corresponding temperature increase accelerating the cure and trapping bubbles in the laminate.
There is therefore a definite need in the art for a process to prepare relatively thick laminate sections of composite materials for use in aerospace vehicle structures.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and unobvious process for laminating and curing relatively thick sections of resin preimpregnated fiber tape.
Another object of the present invention is a process for making laminate composite structural elements having controlled orientation of the monofilament fibers in the laminates.
A further object of the present invention is a process to produce void free thick composite laminates.
An additional object of the present invention is a process for securing partially cured composite laminates together to form a unitary structure. |
A number of Doctor Who fans noticed that Peter Capaldi, when he first came on stage after the announcement that he would be the next Doctor, did the lapel grab that William Hartnell sometimes did. It was almost certainly intentional.
As we reach what would, if the time lords’ limit on regenerations were enforced, be the Doctor’s final life, and as we have a return to the role being played by an actor who is the age of the original actor when he first played the role, this echo of a classic Hartnell mannerism is fitting. |
Genome of Serratia nematodiphila MB307 offers unique insights into its diverse traits.
A pigment-producing species of Serratia was isolated from the rhizosphere of a heavy metal resistant Cannabis sativa plant growing in effluent-affected soil of Hattar Industrial Estate, Haripur, Pakistan. Here, we report the genome sequence of this bacterium, which has been identified as Serratia nematodiphila on the basis of whole genome comparison using the OrthoANI classification scheme. The bacterium exhibited diverse traits, including plant growth promotion, antimicrobial, bioremediation, and pollutant tolerance capabilities including metal tolerance, azo dye degradation, ibuprofen degradation, etc. Plant growth-promoting exoenzyme production as well as phosphate solubilisation properties were observed. Genes for phosphate solubilisation, siderophore production, and chitin destruction were identified in addition to other industrially important enzymes like nitrilase and lipase. Secondary metabolite producing apparatus for high value chemicals in the whole genome was also analysed. The number of antibiotic resistance genes was then profiled in silico, through a match with Antibiotic Resistant Gene and CAR database. This is the first report of a S. nematodiphila genome from a polluted environment. This could significantly contribute to the understanding of pollution tolerance, antibiotic resistance, association with nematodes, production of bio-pesticide, and their role in plant growth promotion. |

Methods for providing therapeutic agents to treat damaged spiral ganglion neurons.
Sensorineural hearing loss, characterized by damage to sensory hair cells and/or associated nerve fibers is a leading cause of hearing disorders throughout the world. To date, treatment options are limited and there is no cure for damaged inner ear cells. Because the inner ear is a tiny organ housed in bone deep within the skull, access to the inner ear is limited, making delivery of therapeutic agents difficult. In recent years scientists have investigated a number of growth factors that have the potential to regulate survival or recovery of auditory neurons. Coinciding with the focus on molecules that may restore function are efforts to develop novel delivery methods. Researchers have been investigating the use of mini osmotic pumps, viral vectors and stem cells as a means of providing direct application of growth factors to the inner ear. This review summarizes recent findings regarding the molecules that may be useful for restoring damaged spiral ganglion neurons, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various delivery systems. |
Effects of anoxia on cerebral blood flow in the rat brain: evidence for a role of adenosine in autoregulation.
The purpose of these experiments was to determine the utility of a new method for monitoring CBF using a venous outflow technique with an extracorporeal circulation and to examine the effects of agents that potentiate or antagonize the actions of adenosine on the blood flow response to brief periods of anoxia. The results demonstrate the ability of the new technique to detect the increases in CBF in response to anoxia. Caffeine, an adenosine antagonist, reduced the intensity and duration of the anoxia-induced hyperemia. Dipyridamole and papaverine, inhibitors of adenosine uptake, potentiated the increase in CBF during anoxia. The results support the hypothesis that adenosine plays an important role in regulating CBF during anoxic episodes. |
Q:
Doctrine - A relationship between entity A and related entities B and C
I'm making a game in Symfony/Doctrine. I have two tables "Model", which represents a 3D model, and "Texture", a list of textures that can be applied to each model. There's a one to many relationship between them (one Model has many textures).
Now there are a bunch of other entities (Monster, Character, Prop etc.), that need to have texture AND model information. I need to set up a relationship that says "This Monster has this Model AND this Texture" (but since Model and Texture are themselves related, I couldn't use a Dragon model with a Goblin texture - it would have to be a valid pair.)
The problem is that I feel having both ->model and ->texture properties is redundant because one can be calculated by the other. There's no database-layer checks that texture A actually goes with model B.
I thought initially that I would only have ->getTexture(), and create a "fake" model getter, like a)
public function getModel()
{
if ( $this->texture ) return $this->texture->getModel();
}
Other approaches would be -
b) Have both ->getModel() and ->getTexture() within the Monster entity, and add a validation rule that checks that the Model and Texture match up. The downside here is that I'm effectively creating redundant data, and I have a lot of validation rules to add everywhere.
c) Add a ModelInstance class which creates a relationship between Model and Texture. The downside here is that there are more queries/complexity overall, and the simple relationship between Model and Texture isn't there any more - it's been replaced by something more complicated. We'd also have to add a unique constraint on Texture.
Would love to hear how other people approach this problem!
Thanks,
James
A:
Since a texture can belong to one and only one model then:
public function getModel()
{
if ( $this->texture ) return $this->texture->getModel();
}
is perfectly fine.
Just need to make sure that whatever is calling getModel can handle a null results. You will save yourself some headaches if you just require all monsters to have a texture and thus a model.
It does seem a bit strange to me that the same texture could not be used for different models.
You might also ask how often do you want to query by model. If you will be doing it quite a bit then you might want to go ahead and just add model to monster even if it is a bit redundant.

Apoptosis, the process of active cell death, is a phenomenon important in the etiology and treatment of various diseases, including cancer. Existing cancer therapies kill tumor cells often by inducing apoptosis, and tumor cells that develop resistance to apoptosis can therefore be refractory to therapy. An understanding of the mechanisms of apoptosis is thus essential groundwork for the development of novel approaches to cancer therapy. Previous studies using cell-free systems and cultured cells have shown that the cytochrome c protein can play an important role in the activation of caspases (apoptotic proteases). However, evidence also shows that under some circumstances, caspases can be activated in a manner independent of cytochrome c. To test the hypothesis that cytochrome c is required for apoptosis in multiple tissues, the investigators will employ a genetic approach in mice. Homozygous null mutations of the somatic cytochrome c gene would be lethal, because this protein is required for mitochondrial respiration. However, they have identified mutant or variant forms of cytochrome c that exhibit no, or drastically reduced, pro-apoptotic activity in vitro, while retaining electron transport function. The investigators propose to generate mice in which the wild-type cytochrome c gene is replaced by one or more of these apoptosis-defective cytochrome c genes. If apoptosis in these mutant animals is disrupted in certain tissues, then this will confirm the hypothesis that cytochrome c is required for apoptosis in those tissues. However, if apoptosis proceeds normally, then it will be concluded that apoptosis pathways independent of cytochrome c predominate. These experiments will decide how important cytochrome c-mediated apoptotic pathways are in vivo and will help in the future design of pro-apoptotic therapy for cancer. |
Q:
Existence of all suprema iff existence of all infima?
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completeness_(order_theory)#Relationships_between_completeness_properties
"the existence of all suprema ... equivalent to the existence of all infima. Indeed, for any subset $X$ of a poset, one can consider its set of lower bounds $B$. The supremum of $B$ is then equal to the infimum of $X$"
My question is, can $B$ be the empty set?
My idea is that $B$ cannot be the empty. This is because if we consider the empty set, then all elements of the poset is an upper bound of the empty set. But the poset has no lower bound because $X$ has no lower bound, so there is no least upper bound on the empty set, contradicting the existence of all suprema. Is this argument sound?
A:
The trick here is that if there exists a supremum of $X$ for every subset $X$ of a poset $P$, then there exists the supremum of the empty set in $P$, that is, $\bigvee\varnothing \in P$.
It follows that $\bigvee\varnothing = \bigwedge P$, and this covers the case that you rose, because if $X$ had no lower bound, then $\bigwedge X = \bigvee\varnothing \in P$, a contradiction.
So this means that if there is a subset with no lower bounds, then there must be some subset without supremum.

Q:
do you put your calculations on your sets or your gets .
which is better ???
public class Order
{
private double _price;
private double _quantity;
public double TotalCash
{
get
{
return _price * _quantity;
}
}
or
public class Order
{
private double _totalCash;
private double _price;
private double _quantity;
private void CalcCashTotal()
{
_totalCash = _price * _quantity
}
public double Price
{
set
{
_price = value;
CalcCashTotal();
}
}
public double Quantity
{
set
{
_price = value;
CalcCashTotal();
}
}
public double TotalCash
{
get
{
return _totalCash;
}
}
A:
There are tradeoffs. If the calculations simple and does not take a long time, then put it in the get. It makes your life easier, because you don't have to worry about doing the check in every set that total price is dependant on, which could lead to mistakes.
If the calculation takes a lot of time, then you could also take a hybrid approach. You could set a IsDirtyTotalPrice boolean in all the dependant sets, and then do the calculation on the fly in the get and cache it so that the get only calculates the variable when it needs to. You don't do the calculation in the sets because there could be a lot of them, and you wan to do the calculation as few times as possible.
public class Order
{
private double _totalCash;
private double _price;
private double _quantity;
private _IsDirtyTotalCash = true;
private void CalcCashTotal()
{
_totalCash = _price * _quantity
}
public double Price
{
set
{
_price = value;
_IsDirtyTotalCash = true;
}
}
public double Quantity
{
set
{
_price = value;
_IsDirtyTotalCash = true;
}
}
public double TotalCash
{
get
{
if(_IsDirtyTotalCash)
{
_totalCash = CalcTotalCost();
_isDirtyTotalCash = false;
}
return _totalCash;
}
}
}
A:
Typically I try to put them on set since the value they generate will be stored internally and only need to be calculated once. You should only put calculations on get if the value is likely to change every time its queried.
In your price/quantity example, you could actually have a single separate method that recalculates the quantity when either price or quantity is set.
A:
The first is better because:
It's shorter.
It's easier to understand.
It's slightly presumptuous to recalculate TotalCash every time either price or quantity gets set. It should be as lazy as possible and only calculate when requested.
That being said, putting the calculation in the setter effectively caches it, so if you run into a performance issue, that could be a useful change (at the expense of clarity).

Q:
Differenect ear from maven and eclipse
I have a maven project. Then I use mvn package, I get a ear file. I manually deploy it in WAS and it's worked.
But then I use Eclipse:
Export -> EAR file and manually deploy it's not work
Add project to WAS Server through Eclipse -> it's not work
What is the problem?
A:
Project Properties>Deployment Assembly, check if Maven Dependencies are present
It should look like:
If not present, add them via Add button.

Defects in electrical connections between circuit elements can lead to a reduction in electrical conductivity between the circuit elements. Defects can also lead to the formation of undesired conductive pathways between electrical circuit elements. To restore proper functioning to circuit elements, it may be necessary to repair such defects. |

Combined point mutation in KRAS or EGFR genes and EML4-ALK translocation in lung cancer patients.
A total of three cases with novel constellations regarding mutation patterns in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are reported. The mutation patterns that are observed are novel and unexpected. First, a combined simultaneous KRAS mutation and EML4-ALK translocation, both in the main tumor and a bone metastasis, were observed, these mutations are assumed to mutually exclude each other. A further two cases include a father and a daughter, both of whom are suffering from NSCLC with different EGFR mutation patterns. A common cause was assumed; however, could not be deduced to mutations in the KRAS, BRAF and EGFR genes. The aforementioned cases are important, as it must be taken into account that mutations previously assumed to be exclusive can occur in combination, may influence the clinical outcome and may require different therapy compared with single mutated tumors. It has to be discussed whether diagnostic algorithms need to be adapted. The cases of father and daughter show that further unknown factors can influence development of NSCLC. |
Modulus Ratings of a Rod
When purchasing a rod, it seems that most manufacturers try to sell there product based on modulus ratings. Modulus is a term used to describe the stiffness to weight ratio. An elastic modulus is the mathematical description of an object or substance’s tendency to be deformed elastically (non-permanently) when a force is applied to it. Therefore when a blank increases in modulus ratings, it is also increasing its ability to store & release the energy it stores when flexed via a cast or fish. The higher the (true) modulus of a rod is, the lighter and more sensitive it will be. With an increase in modulus, cost increases and resilience decreases.
While this seems logical to use as a selling point to sell more rods, as some do with their IM6 modulus rating, IM7, IM8…etc. as far as I know, there isn’t an industry standard to define modulus rating in graphite, but rather based more on a range depending on the manufacture formula. Therefore one rod may be rated the same as another, but could be less expensive because it is a lower modulus blank. Just because a rod is expensive and has a high modulus doesn’t ensure that the blank design is the right one for the application you are looking for. Many blanks are designed for a specific fishing technique, where others are a standard blank with the intended application/technique of the rod not factored in, i.e. technique or species taken into account. Other factors to consider in blank design are length, diameter, taper, wall thickness and material along with how the material is placed on the mandrel to create the blank. All factors above will determine the rods action, taper, weight, and strength.
While all of this can be somewhat confusing, it’s best not to get caught up in all of the modulus hype and just use a rod that is designed for the intended technique. When properly done, the angler can expect to hook up with more fish by being able to feel the strike faster as in jig fishing or in some instances slower, such as using crankbaits, which allows the fish to inhale the bait. |
The present invention generally relates to a flat-panel display device which comprises memory modules added to display pixels and used in a still image display mode, and more particularly to a flat-panel display device in which the display pixels are electrically separated from the memory modules in an ordinary display mode other than the still image display mode.
For example, liquid crystal display devices are widely used as monitor displays for portable information terminals such as portable phones and PDAs (Portable Digital Assistants), since the devices have such characteristics as thinness, compactness and lightness. The portable information terminals generally operate using power from a rechargeable battery. Thus, the available period of the portable information terminal considerably depends on the rate of consuming the battery power. Under the circumstance, active research has been made to reduce the power consumption of the liquid crystal display device.
In recent years, the memory technology represented by SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) is used for reducing the power consumption of the liquid crystal display. With SRAM technology, memory modules are added to the display pixels forming a display screen. Each memory module is electrically connected to a corresponding display pixel by a connection controller. When an external driving circuit supplies a video signal in this state, the video signal is captured by a pixel switch and supplied to the display pixel. The memory module holds the video signal supplied to the display pixel and drives the display pixel according to the video signal. Thus, in the case where frequent update of the display signal is not required, a still image can be displayed by causing the output operation of the external driving circuit to be intermittent.
In the field of liquid crystal display devices, frame-inversion driving is generally known. In this driving, the polarities of video signal voltages to be applied to the display pixels are inverted, for example, every vertical scanning (frame) period in order to prevent uneven distribution of liquid crystal materials. In addition to frame-inversion driving, H-line inversion driving and V-line inversion driving are known and used for suppressing generation of flicker. In H-line inversion driving, the polarities of the voltages are inverted in units of display pixels of one or more rows. In V-line inversion driving, the polarities of the voltages are inverted in units of display pixels of one or more columns. In liquid crystal display devices containing memory modules, the H-line inversion driving is used in the ordinary display mode and the frame-inversion driving is used in the still image display mode, for example, to further reduce the power consumption. The connection controller is used not only for controlling the electrical connection between the display pixel and the memory module, but also for controlling the polarity inversion described above.
However, with respect to the liquid crystal display devices containing memory modules, it is reported that a significant number of defective pixels appear on the display screen in the ordinary display mode. |
Adaptation and novelty: teleological explanations in evolutionary biology.
Knives, birds' wings, and mountain slopes are used for certain purposes: cutting, flying, and climbing. A bird's wings have in common with knives that they have been 'designed' for the purpose they serve, which purpose accounts for their existence, whereas mountain slopes have come about by geological processes independently of their uses for climbing. A bird's wings differ from a knife in that they have not been designed or produced by any conscious agent; rather, the wings, like the slopes, are outcomes of natural processes without any intentional causation. Evolutionary biologists use teleological language and teleological explanations. I propose that this use is appropriate, because teleological explanations are hypotheses that can be subject to empirical testing. The distinctiveness of teleological hypotheses is that they account for the existence of a feature in terms of the function it serves; for example, wings have evolved and persist because flying is beneficial to birds by increasing their chances of surviving and reproducing. Features of organisms that are explained with teleological hypotheses include structures, such as wings; processes, such as development from egg to adult; and behaviours, such as nest building. A proximate explanation of these features is the function they serve; an ultimate explanation that they all share is their contribution to the reproductive fitness of the organisms. I distinguish several kinds of teleological explanations, such as natural and artificial, as well as bounded and unbounded, some of which but not others apply to biological explanations. |

Human Loyalty and Community
At the core of human society is an attempt to create and establish a sense of normalcy based upon loyalty in the sense of belonging to society. This begins early in life and is created through the sense of belonging by being special and unique by having a family. The fact is that having a family is simply common and it is not unique or special. This is used by society to maintain the status quo of those in power. They play on the fears of human beings create the need to belong in a sense that if one does not belong there is something wrong with them. Without this attitude many games or systems in society would perish.
This technique of loyalty and belonging plays on the lack of the sense of self and the need to feel whole of each person. Society sets the standard that feeling whole is done through acquiring a sense of belonging to and with other human beings. If this program is maintained there is a very subtle dependency created that assures society of its control of individual human beings. Those human beings who do not succumb to this programming are seen as outcasts, weirdos or strange people. From this sense of loyalty the idea of community is corrupted. The idea of community is based on fear and lack not only sharing of abundant resources both physical and emotional. |

General considerations concerning viscous materials in ophthalmic surgery.
Currently available viscous substances are Methylcellulose, Chondroitin sulphate and Hyaluronic acid. All of them consist of large molecules that vary in their degree of viscosity, electrical charge and elasticity. Viscous substances are tools for spatial tactics. An analysis of the physical properties leads to the indication for their use in surgery. Like every other instrument, a special technique has to be learned in order to get maximum benefit and to avoid side effects. |

Car trouble? Are you might sick and tired attached to the overheating and unquestionably the non-stop oil leaks? Sometimes there are things your we can’t troubleshoot, as well well, what mechanics has the potential to do – only this company can do. You may not always figure out your current cause of an oil leak just by your individual own diagnosis. You would definitely need to check out a mechanic in a powerful auto repair shop. But, looking for a ideal auto repair shop may well be a difficult and as well as challenging process. How write you know you’re taking the right shop? What are the factors your entire family should consider?
The first thing an individual should do is very you should drop from the shop to see if they have trained, hardworking mechanics and high end equipment. Of course, there are also other things you need that will check out. There must be always more than joins the eye. An automobile repair shop that presents itself classy and well held doesn’t necessarily mean it’s can provide you complete with good customer care, truthful work and reasonable expenses.
It is literally best which will know anything about motorcar repairs so that anyone are in no way caught without guard when conversing going the mending. You should also prove cautious in the shops that take advantage connected an unknowledgeable client. When people situation that the individual don’t find out much going something, you may purchase the circumstance to rip you off, or worse, tell you will to eat something permanent that really isn’t really harmed.
You should probably also start thinking about feedback information about the shop. Ask all around. If yourself know any individual who gets any experience with your shop, new music to that or the girls comments. The concept always pays to be inquisitive.
Do a major background check on currently the auto recover shop. You need if you want to know suppose the shop’s mechanics are unquestionably highly showed and accredited.
Ask about a developed estimate in major repairs. You do compare dollar figures with more auto sort out shops by checking the group out in your. You is going to give remaining shops a nice phone call or enjoy their web to performed the preliminary research to help save time. Then you would as well as want to check into the great of fabrics the garage uses for their clients, and the brands of their parts as well.
You without doubt also really want to ask for consistent promotions as well as , offers to be able to save you have money. Make sure you find done about their specific service assurance. Aside by means of the rates, you likewise deserve good customer insurance. Make assured they entertain all the questions along with answer one thoroughly. |
Q:
The French accents (marks above vowels)
I have read a lot about the accents (these little marks that appear above vowels ) in French. But I can't differentiate between them at all.
So I have two questions, can I ignore them while I am learning French ( at least in the beginning) ?
Can anyone explain it SIMPLY ?
A:
You can't ignore them since they change the pronunciation (most of the time) and the meaning. They are like real letters.
Some words just have letters with an accent so you have to learn and write them like that:
du = some; dû = due (pronunciation doesn't change)
a = has; à = to/in/at/etc. depending on the context (pronunciation doesn't change)
mais = but; maïs = corn (pronunciation changes)
The past participle for the first group verbs always ends with a -é:
manger = to eat
je mange = I eat/I'm eating
j'ai mangé = I have eaten
The pronunciation between mange and mangé is not the same.

Sarbat da bhala
Sarbat da bhala is the final term in the Sikh prayer called the Ardas. The term outlines one of the most important of Sikh principles and is a point that is repeated in the Sikh Scriptures. The Sikh concept of sarbat da bhala which means "blessings for everyone" or literally "may everyone prosper". This statement is repeated by all practising Sikhs at least twice daily as part of their Nitnem (daily prayers). This concept is central to Sikhism and forms a very important and essential role in the religious philosophy of the Sikh Gurus.
The Ardas ends with the line:
To put this in very concise and clear language, the term invokes the Sikh to request, pray and ask the Almighty for the well-being of all of humanity, prosperity for everyone in the worldwide community, global peace for the entire planet.
A Sikh selflessly prays daily for "all to prosper"'. This gesture comes from the clear and pure teaching of Gurbani (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) and forms the Gurmat code of conduct. Gurbani tells us that there are "no others", "there is only One". The same "One God resides within all". We are "all the children of that One God". As the potter makes pots of different forms and colors from the same basic clay; and as the goldsmith moulds jewellery of various types, colors and shapes from the same single homogeneous material, gold; similarly, we are all born of the same One Light: "There is no difference".
Accordingly, by instruction from the Gurus, the true Sikh begs for "the good for all beings" of the world. Because he knows that within every one of us resides the same One God – the Sikh should realise that he is "one with the rest".

Star Wars Commander
A Force-Infused Clash Of Clans
Supercell’s Clash of Clans has inspired a number of “homages,” but few have managed to be quite as sticky as the original. The latest challenger has the Force on its side, though.
Star Wars Commander gives players control of either the Empire or the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Players will build a base, train units, and base invasions against the computer or other players.
The game takes players across locales from Episodes IV - VI with either the might of Imperial AT-STs, AT-ATs, and other machines for war or the heroes of the Alliance like Han Solo and Chewbacca on your side.
Star Wars Commander is available for iOS devices now as a free download, with in-app purchases.
Facepalm. I used to love playing Star Wars strategy games on PC years ago: Rebellion, Force Commander, Galactic Battlegrounds, Empire at War... But this looks like such watered down trash. Thanks mobile gaming for helping to bring weak sauce versions of the game types I used to play. I have no interest in touching this on iOS even though its free to play... actually especially because its free to play.
Wow.. First came MOBAs...
Now what are they going to call this new genre...? gee...
MOBAs and games like Clash of Clans aren't my type of games.. Don't really get how people like these kind of games. :|
I'm upset with these latest Star Wars games. There are plenty of fun mobile games, but recently none of them have been Star Wars games. I hope that Star Wars will get its own, original mobile game sometime soon. Before DICE's Battlefront hits the scene. If not that, before Visceral and BioWare have released their Star Wars games. |

Photoactivatable substrates for systematic study of the impact of an extracellular matrix ligand on appearance of leader cells in collective cell migration.
Epithelial cells migrate as multicellular units. The directionality and speed of these units are determined by actively moving leader cells. It is important to understand how external cues affect the appearance of these leader cells in physiological and pathological processes. However, the impact of extracellular matrices (ECMs) is still controversial, because physically-adsorbed ECM proteins are amenable to protein remodeling, and uncontrolled cluster geometry can vary migration phenotypes. Here, we demonstrate a photoactivatable substrate, which we used to study the impact of a cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) ligand on leader cell formation in MDCK cells. This robust platform allowed us to investigate the effect of cRGD density on leader cell formation, in any given cluster geometry, with minimized ECM remodeling. Our results show a biphasic response of leader cell appearance upon reducing the surface cRGD density. The increase, in leader cell appearance, within the higher density range, is not only associated with the weakening of circumferential actomyosin belts, but also reduction of cellular mechanical tension and intercellular junctional E-cadherin. These results indicate that cRGD-mediated cell-ECM interactions positively regulate mechanical and biochemical coupling within cell clusters; both are critical for the coordination of cell collectives and eventual reduction in the appearance of leader cells. |

Q:
Javascript include namespace
I've a file foo.js with a namespace like this:
// foo.js
const Foo = {
hello: () => {
console.log('Hello world!');
}
}
module.exports = Foo
Now in my file imports.js i can do this:
// imports.js
global.Foo = require('./foo.js');
so in any js files I can call Foo.hello();
Now the question is: in a specific js file is there a way to call hello() without Foo, like using namespace Foo of C++?
A:
Just use require('./foo.js').hello like this:
// In Imports.js
global.Hello = require('./foo.js').hello;
Or if you need to use other things in foo, just create an alias
global.Foo = require('./foo.js');
global.Hello = Foo.hello
Or if you want to use imports, import hello directly:
import {hello} from './foo.js'
Importing it can have space advantages if you're using tree shaking in a build step, because it doesn't have to include unused exports in your bundle.

Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians was happy that the team would be putting on the pads. He wasn’t happy with everyone’s performance in pads, however.
“It was a little raggedy, more raggedy than I thought it was,” Arians said after practice, via JoeBucsFan.com. “The noise level went up and some guys messed their pants. But we’ll grade the film.”
When Arians grades the film, it sounds like plenty of guys will be getting not an A or a C but an S.
“Mental errors, we had some guys today just crap their pants today in pads,” Arians said.
If a football player is going to crap his pants, it’s better to crap his pants in practice than during a game. The challenge will be to learn from the practice-variety pants-crapping and keep it from becoming an in-game poopfest. |
Q:
get cloudformation_facts for multiple cloudformation stacks with with_items in ansible
I have multiple clouformation stacks, and stored their names as a list in CF_TEMPLATE_ITEMS
Now I am trying to gather information about all of them (at the end I want to have the stack_output of all of them):
- name: Get all facts for all cf stacks
cloudformation_facts:
stack_name: "{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ CF_TEMPLATE_ITEMS }}"
Unfortunately, afterwards cloudformation contains only the information for the last stack. It seems the information for the others are overwritten.
Can I somehow cat the facts for all cloudformation stacks from of list of stack names?
A:
Yes, cloudformation_facts overwrites cloudformation fact with every run.
To collect data from every run, register loop result and reformat it to a clean dict, like this:
- cloudformation_facts:
stack_name: "{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ CF_TEMPLATE_ITEMS }}"
register: cf_tmp

The described invention relates in general to an obstacle detection system for use with vehicles, and more specifically to an overhead obstacle detection and avoidance system that includes an ultrasonic sensor and processing unit for determining the height of an overhead obstacle and comparing that height to the maximum height of a vehicle.
Large trucks and tractor-trailer units are commonplace in modern society and are used on a daily basis for transporting a multitude of items from one place to another. The highway system in the United States as well as in most other countries includes numerous bridges and overpasses that may create difficulties for the operators of trucks and tractor-trailer units due to the fact that the height of some vehicles exceeds the clearance required to safely travel under these obstacles. If a truck or tractor-trailer unit exceeds the required clearance of a bridge or overpass, and the operator of the vehicle is not able to make that determination prior to encountering the obstacle, a collision will occur. These collisions often result in extensive damage to both the vehicle and the section of the roadway involved. The operator of the vehicle, the operators of other vehicles on the affected section of road, and even pedestrians crossing a bridge or overpass may also be injured or even killed.
Despite the problems described above, few systems for allowing vehicles such as trucks or tractor-trailer units to avoid collision with overhead obstacles are commercially available. Many previously developed systems are either prohibitively expensive to install, are prohibitively difficult to use, or are only somewhat effective for their intended purpose. Thus, there is an ongoing need for a reliable, relatively inexpensive and easy to install detection system for allowing large (i.e., tall) vehicles to avoid costly and dangerous collisions with overhead obstacles such as bridges and overpasses. |

The highly sensitive perineal area is effectively unloaded, preventing any discomfort. OrthoCell Inlays in the seating area generate the best possible pressure distribution. The innovative OrthoCell material ensures maximum reset forces and is also more durable and lighter than gel. |
Q:
Attachment in email template
On a custom object, I have a file storing a Google Docs file id.
With the URL, I can download the HTML code of the doc :
https://docs.google.com/document/d/ID/export?format=html
I'd like to attach this HTML code in a visualforce email with :
<messaging:attachment filename="{!relatedTo.Name}.pdf" renderAs="PDF">
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/document/d/ID/export?format=html"></iframe>
</messaging:attachment>
But my attachment is empty.
How can I do ?
A:
This page seems to suggest that Iframes don't work in email.
What you could try to do is make a callout in your controller to get the HTML response and render the HTML response into the email via apex prior to sending it so that it's not nested within an iFrame tag.
public class HTMLController {
public String Body {get; set;}
public HTMLController(){
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndPoint('https://docs.google.com/document/d/ID/export?format=html');
req.setMethod('GET');
Http http = new Http();
HttpResponse resp = Http.send(req);
this.Body = resp.getBody();
}
}
Then in the output:
<apex:component controller="HTMLController" access="global">
<apex:outputText value="{!Body}" escape="false"/>

Retrograde and submental intubation.
Direct laryngoscopy remains the technique of choice for placing an endotracheal tube (ETT). However, alternative techniques are needed for the difficult airway or unsuccessful intubation. Retrograde intubation may be used in adult or pediatric patients, whether awake, sedated, or obtunded. Contraindications include nonpalpable neck landmarks, pretracheal mass, severe flexion deformities of the neck, tracheal stenosis, coagulopathies, and infections. Submental intubation allows simultaneous access to the dental occlusion and nasal pyramid without the morbidity associated with tracheostomy. Contraindications include patients who require long periods of assisted ventilation and a severe traumatic wound on the floor of mouth. Complications include localized infection and sepsis, poor wound healing or scarring, and postoperative salivary fistula. |

The present invention relates generally to evaporator installations, and more particularly to evaporators for processing radioactive liquid wastes in a nuclear power plant.
Until relatively recently the need for an evaporator system in nuclear power plants was confined to controlling the concentration of primary water, i.e. the liquid heat transfer medium between the atomic pile and the steam generators of the plant. This liquid, which normally contains sodium sulphate or boric acid, was sufficiently free of scale forming contaminants and sufficiently uniform in concentration that it could be evaporated without excessive scaling in a conventional calandria or long-tube-vertical (LTV) evaporator, wherein circulation through the heat exchanger was obtained by thermal gradients, as opposed to pumping or other mechanical circulation means.
It has recently been recognized in the operation of nuclear power plants that liquids accummulated from floor drainage systems and other internal reactor-related sources constitute a potential radiation hazard, and must therefore be handled and disposed of as radioactive waste material, typically by sealing the waste in concrete drums or barrels, and then burying it either on land or at sea. Because of the relatively high expense of the disposal process, it is highly desirable that the radioactive liquid waste be concentrated prior to being sealed in the containers for burial. To this end the waste may be first processed in one or more evaporator stages, wherein a large portion of the liquid is removed as harmless non-radioactive steam or water vapor leaving concentrated liquor for disposal.
Unfortunately, the concentrated waste liquor, which unlike primary water may contain suspended solids such as calcium, sodium and magnesium carbonates and sulphates in variable and unpredictable concentrations, is prone to boil and produce scaling in the heat exchanger and the other components of the conventional calandria and LTV natural flow evaporator systems heretofore used in the primary water concentrating process. This eventually reduces the efficiency of the evaporator to the point that its utility in the concentrating process is seriously impaired. While it is possible to remove some of the accummulated scaling by boiling out the evaporator system with a suitable solvent, it eventually becomes necesaary to shut down and dismantle the system so that insoluble scales and plugged tubes can be cleaned by mechanical means. Because the liquor within the evaporator systems is highly radioactive and the systems are therefore normally installed in concrete vaults for shielding and are not easily accessible, dismantling prior-art systems for descaling or repair has been a time-consuming and expensive operation.
While forced circulation (FC) evaporators, where a pump or other mechanical circulation means is provided to circulate the liquor, overcome the scaling problem to a large degree by keeping the liquor circulating at a controlled rate with carefully controlled temperature gradients within the heat exchanger whereby boiling is restricted to the evaporation chamber, the use of these evaporators for concentrating radioactive liquids has been avoided in the past because of their use of a pump. Heretofore, such pumps, which were arranged below the level of the liquid in the system and therefore necessarily required a shaft seal resistant to the passage of the fluid being pumped, required frequent servicing which could be accomplished only with great difficulty because of the surrounding radiation shielding and the high radiation levels of the liquor. Furthermore, the use of a pump was considered objectionable because it increased the volume requirements of the system and made necessary additional access passageways, thus significantly increasing the required radiation shielding around the evaporator.
Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a new and improved evaporator system for concentrating radioactive liquid wastes in a nulcear power plant or the like.
It is a more specific object of the present invention to provide an evaporator system for a nuclear power plant or the like which can be more readily dismantled for descaling or repair.
It is a still more specific object of the present invention to provide a new and improved evaporator system which can be serviced without being drained.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an evaporator for a nuclear power plant which minimizes scaling and the need for periodic maintenance.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an evaporator system which can be serviced from one access plane.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved pump mounting and assembly for an evaporator system.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a circulation pump for an evaporator system which provides a minimal need for periodic maintenance.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a circulation pump for an evaporator system which can be serviced from one access plane without draining the system. |
Q:
Change JS code in order to work with GTM (arrow function and spread expression)
I use this JS code to get title value from a elements in a series of li :
var res = [...document.querySelectorAll(".breadcrumb li:not(:first-of-type) > a")].map(el => el.getAttribute("title")).join(" - ");
alert(res)
I have to use it in Google Tag Manager but it doesn't work because GTM doesn't support ECMASCRIPT6.
How arrow function and spread expression can be changed to make it works with tag manager?
A:
You can call Array.prototype.slice on the NodeList to convert to an array. The arrow function can just be replaced with a regular function:
var res = []
.slice
.call(document.querySelectorAll(".breadcrumb li:not(:first-of-type) > a"))
.map(function (el) {
return el.getAttribute('title')

This invention relates generally to optical focus detectors and, more particularly, to electrooptical detectors for providing an indication of the focus error with respect to a radiant energy beam impinging on a surface. Such focus detectors are useful in a variety of applications, but are particularly well suited for use in automatic focus control systems, such as might be used in recording or playback apparatus in which information is recorded on, or played back from a recording surface by means of a beam of light or other radiant energy.
By way of a more specific example, one type of disc recording system, used for recording video or other information, records information on a disc surface by means of a laser beam focused onto the recording surface by an objective lens, the intensity of the beam being modulated in some manner to produce corresponding changes in an optical condition of the surface. During playback of the recording, a laser reading beam is also employed and is focused on the recording surface as the disc is rotated. A reflected portion of the reading beam is then directed to a photodetector device, which provides an electrical signal from which the recorded information can be reproduced. In both the recording and playback modes of operation, accurate control of the focus of the beams is critical to successful operation of the apparatus.
Focus detectors of the prior art have utilized a central disc and concentric photodetector elements to measure the focus error of a beam. However, such devices do not exhibit the precision and linearity needed for some applications. Accordingly, there is still a significant need for a precise focus detector capable of measuring both the magnitude and direction of focus error. Ideally, such a detector should have a substantially linear response characteristic for some distance on both sides of the point of zero focus error, i.e., the output signal generated by the detector should be practically proportional to the focus error, which can be measured as a distance of displacement of the objective lens. The present invention satisfies this need. |
Conical third-harmonic generation of optical vortex through ultrashort laser filamentation in air.
We experimentally generate third-harmonic (TH) vortex beams in air by the filamentation of femtosecond pulses produced in a lab-built Ti:sapphire chirped pulse amplifier. The generated TH beam profile is shown to evolve with increasing pump energy. At a sufficiently high pump energy, we observe a conical TH emission of the fundamental vortex and confirm that the conical radiation follows the conservation law for orbital angular momentum. We further investigate the far-field angularly resolved spectra of the TH wave to analyze the conical emission angle. We theoretically verify that the formation of the conical TH vortex results from the phase-matching between the fundamental and TH waves during the filamentation process. |

Well operations, including well drilling, production or completion operations, particularly for oil and natural gas wells, utilize various uphole and downhole well components and tools, particularly rotatable components and tools, which must maintain a high abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of sliding friction under extreme conditions, such as, high temperatures and high pressures for their efficient operation. These include many types of rotatable rotors, shafts, bushings, bearings, sleeves and other components that include surfaces that are in slidable engagement with one another. These high temperatures can be elevated further by heat generated by the components and tools themselves, particularly those that are used in the downhole operations. Mud motors, for example, can generate additional heat during their operation. Materials used to fabricate the various uphole and downhole well components and tools used in well drilling, production or completion operations are therefore carefully chosen for their ability to operate, often for long periods of time, in these extreme conditions.
In order to maintain a high abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of sliding friction these components and tools frequently employ a surface coating, such as various chromium hardcoats. While such coatings are generally effective to provide the desired abrasion resistance and coefficient of sliding friction, they are known to be susceptible to corrosion upon exposure to various well environments, particularly fluids that include chlorides.
Therefore, the development of materials that can be used to form well components and tools having the desired combination of high abrasion resistance and low coefficient of sliding friction, as well as high corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride environments, is very desirable. |
Create a new app
The setup
The docs don’t bring this up at all, but there are two things needed to get access to device’s camera roll:
declare photo library usage
link the RCTCameraRoll library
Photo library usage declaration
In order to access user’s private data on iOS, like location, camera roll, contacts, etc, the application has to get the user’s permission.
For that, the application metadata has to list the reason why it needs a particular permission.
Without this, no prompt will be shown, and the application will crash when trying to access the private data.
To use the camera roll, Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description, or NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription, should be set.
To set it, first open the Xcode project:
open ios/CameraRollPicker.xcodeproj
Then, select CameraRollPicker in the left sidebar, and go to the Info tab.
You should see a screen like this:
Under Custom iOS Target Properties, hover over any item, say Bundle name and click the plus icon.
In a new row, click the selector arrows and select Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description.
In the Value column, enter the text description of why the camera roll is needed.
For example, We need access to photos as it's the core app experience.
Whew! That wasn’t so hard!
Link the RCTCameraRoll library
React Native provides the ImagePickerIOS API which we are going to use.
To actually use it, though, the RCTCameraRoll native library is needed, and this is not documented.
It comes with React Native, but by default, it is not included in the project. |
The hallmark of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is the activation of autoreactive T ells and, as a consequence, the destruction of the islets of Langerhans. Most individuals do to develop this disease from which we conclude that normal mechanisms exist which prevent autoimmunity and that these are circumvented in autoimmune predisposed individuals. We hypothesize that in normal mice and humans peripheral tolerance mechanisms prevent the destruction of islets, although the level at which this prevention occurs is not yet established. We further hypothesize that in autoimmune predisposed NOD mice, that these mechanisms fail and, as a consequence, autoimmunity results. Our previous studies have established that sch peripheral tolerance mechanisms exist in mice of the B6 genetic background, though the mechanisms have not been elucidated. In this grant we will use covalently linked MHC-peptide complexes in conjunction with T cells from TCR transgenic mice to elucidate the mechanisms of peripheral tolerance of CD4 T cells in congenic mice of the B6B10 background. We will also determine the nature of the defects in peripheral tolerance in autoimmune predisposed NOD mice. We will elucidate which cells mediate peripheral tolerance mechanisms and specifically we will test the hypothesis that tissue cells and/or tolerogenic antigen presenting cells mediate peripheral tolerance. |

M64 sits in the constellation Coma Berenices, which is a bit low in the sky setting in the west at sunset, so is pretty much un-observable at the moment, and I think that remote robotic telescopes in the northern hemisphere won't allow you to observe that low.
Really it is a Spring constellation, though might come into view for imaging Feb onwards, depending on the telescope location.
If you are at school, you could try to get them to get you access to the Faulkes Telescopes, which have some nice big robotic telescopes.
There are a lot of galaxies available at the moment, so you might need to pick a different one depending on your project needs. |
Management of systemic venous anomalies in the pediatric cardiovascular surgical patient.
Systemic venous anomalies are rare and heterogeneous entities. Although these anomalies are rare in the general population, they occur more frequently in the subpopulation with congenital heart disease. In and of themselves, most of these lesions have no physiologic significance. However, in the setting of congenital heart disease these lesions may significantly alter surgical treatment. This review is dedicated to these lesions. |
Q:
Javascript data structures library
I'd like to ask for recommendation of JavaScript library/libraries that supply an implementation of some basic data structures such as a priority queue, map with arbitrary keys, tries, graphs, etc. along with some algorithms that operate on them.
I'm mostly interested in:
The set of features covered,
Flexibility of the solution - this mostly applies to graphs. For example do I have to use a supplied graph implementation,
Use of functional features of the language - again it sometimes gives greater flexibility,
Performance of the implementation
I'd like to point out that I'm aware that it's possible to implement using JavaScript the following data structures:
A map, if key values are either strings or numbers,
A set, (using a map implementation),
A queue, although as was pointed out below, it's inefficient on some browsers,
At the moment I'm mostly interested in priority queues (not to confuse with regular queues), graph implementations that aren't very intrusive as to the format of the input graph. For example they could use callbacks to traverse the structure of the graph rather than access some concrete properties with fixed names.
A:
I recommend to use Closure Library (especially with closure compiler).
Here you have a library with data structures goog.structs.
The library contains:
goog.structs.AvlTree
goog.structs.CircularBuffer
goog.structs.Heap
goog.structs.InversionMap
goog.structs.LinkedMap
goog.structs.Map
goog.structs.PriorityQueue
goog.structs.Set
As example you can use unit test: goog.structs.PriorityQueueTest.
If you need to work on arrays, there's also an array lib: goog.array.
As noted in comments, the source has moved to github.com/google/closure and the documentation's new location is: google.github.io/closure-library.
A:
You can try Buckets is a very complete JavaScript data structure library that includes:
Linked List
Dictionary
Multi Dictionary
Binary Search Tree
Stack
Queue
Set
Bag
Binary Heap
Priority Queue
A:
Probably most of what you want is built-in to Javascript in one way or another, or easy to put together with built-in functionality (native Javascript data structures are incredibly flexible). You might like JSClass.
As for the functional features of the language, underscore.js is where it's at..

The World Series champion Washington Nationals visited the White House Monday, and two players in particular showed their support for President Trump.
Catcher Kurt Suzuki sported a MAGA hat while addressing the crowd. Trump had just propped him up for his solo home run in Game two, the first home run ever hit by a Hawaiian-born player in World Series history, to which Suzuki responded, “I love you all.” (RELATED: Washington Nationals Cap Off Historic World Series Victory)
First baseman Ryan Zimmerman, the first player ever drafted by the Nationals after the franchise relocated from Montreal, called the visit “stuff you dream about.”
“To see all the fans show up, the parade, looking at the crowd here, we couldn’t have done it without you,” he told the crowd before explicitly thanking POTUS. “I would like to thank you for keeping everyone safe in our country and for continuing to make America the greatest country to live in in the world.”
Several players declined Trump’s invitation on Monday, including third baseman Anthony Rendon, who will likely be the top free agent on the market this offseason.
The Nationals’ World Series party came back to Washington, DC over the weekend, when the city celebrated the franchises first ever championship with a parade on Saturday. |
Basement Flooding- Check Out Before it Turns into Reality
Water in your basement might be the last thing you want to ever see in your life. A smell of dampness even sends a chilling wave through your spine. Due to careless habits of homeowners while construction or maintenance of their houses, flooding basements or standing water in basements has become a common problem in the country. This water peeping into the house spoiling your interiors and flooring act as a catalyst for the growth of molds causing the problem to multifold times.
So are you pondering if you have committed any mistake or not and remembering if you have used waterproof options for everything or not as advised by your consultant? But what if you get to know that there are many causes of water entering your basement and you need to look for all the entry points to understand if your basement is safe or not.
Let’s check out some of the leading causes of basement flooding because the basement is one of the best spots in the house maybe as a room, or as a storage area.
Leading causes of basement flooding
Clogged gutter system- You might be sitting back and thinking that your extensions in your gutter systems and the water will always be flowing in an away direction from your house. But that’s not true, if you don’t have a gutter guard system, your gutter might have got clogged, because of which water might be overflowing towards the foundation. Or it might have swelled the walls of the basement, bursting into the basement through cracks or basement windows.
Solution– Only a good gutter guard can save your basement and give you a sign of relief. Other than this you need to make sure with regular check-ups that there is no clogging in your gutter, as this can save your lot of money and time.
Bad drainage system installation– One very common reason is the misplacement of downspouts i.e. they are placed within 6ft closeness to the basement wall, because of which they start flowing towards the foundation.
Solution– Check properly that the gutter extensions are facing in the right direction and are at right distance from your house so that they is no chance water breaking into your house basement.
If you are feeling that problem of water entering your basement has become a daily headache in heavy rainfall then you need to check your basement ceiling and basement flooring. There is a very high probability that your basement tiles of the floor are placed lose, because of which water is getting space to penetrate.
Solution– Take good measures if the seal is loose at the earliest.
Final thoughts
The leading causes of basement flooding increase multiple times during heavy rainfall posing more danger to your house. You need to be smart enough to check all the faults and take measures on time like getting your gutter system cleaned or getting checked all the window leaks, floor leaks. You can use French drainage systems as they are highly recommended to the houses to shun away water. |
A Person-Centered Approach to Cardiovascular Genetic Testing.
Cardiovascular genetic counselors provide guidance to people facing the reality or prospect of inherited cardiovascular conditions. Key activities in this role include discussing clinical cardiac screening for at-risk family members and offering genetic testing. Psychological factors often influence whether patients choose to have genetic testing and how they understand and communicate the results to at-risk relatives, so psychological counseling increases the impact of genetic education and medical recommendations. This work reviews the literature on the factors that influence patient decisions about cardiovascular genetic testing and the psychological impact of results on people who opt to test. It also models use of a psychological framework to apply themes from the literature to routine cardiovascular genetic counseling practice. Modifications of the framework are provided to show how it can be adapted to serve the needs of both new and experienced genetic counselors. |
Q:
React Router: doesn't update browser url
I'm learning React making a small single page app. Just added react-router-dom today and building it out to do routes and private routes. All is well except for one thing: When the user enters a malformed url in the browser bar, the user should be rerouted to the index (WORKS!), but the browser url bar is not updated on this redirect. Oddly enough, when I hit a private route while not authorized, the redirect DOES update the url bar. What am I missing?
router.js:
const PrivateRoute = ({auth: authenticated, component: Component, ...rest}) => (
<Route {...rest} render={(props) => (
authenticated === true
? <Component {...props} />
: <Redirect to='/login/'/>
)}/>
);
export default function Router() {
const auth = useSelector(isAuthenticated);
return (
<Switch>
<PrivateRoute auth={"auth"} path={"/dashboard/"} component={DashboardContainer}/>
<Route path={"/about/"} component={AboutContainer}/>
<Route path={"/login/"} component={LoginContainer}/>
<Route path={"/terms/"} component={TermsContainer}/>
<Route path={"/"} component={IndexContainer}/>
<Redirect push to={"/"}/>
</Switch>
);
}
A:
I believe your issue is a result of not specifying that the paths should be exact matches, therefore any route will match with your route that is specified as:
<Route path={"/"} component={IndexContainer}/>
Try adding the exact prop to all of your routes (except for your redirect), and you should properly get redirected to the home page with the correct URL.
More details on the exact prop here: React : difference between <Route exact path="/" /> and <Route path="/" />

Q:
SwiftUI - CNContactViewController NavigationBar problem
I am trying to implement CNContactViewDelegate to be able to show detail of the CNContact. And apparently, I am the first one to implement it with SwiftUI and getting problems. Anyway, I can see the detail of CNContact with using UIViewControllerRepresentable but I have an issue with the NavigationBar, which there is gap between the Contact's image and StatusBar -because of the NavigationBar and NavigationLink I think- and this gap is not there in the native Contacts app and apparently in this link that implemented the framework in UIKit.
Here is the code;
struct ContactsListView: View {
@ObservedObject var contactsModel: ContactsViewModel
var body: some View {
NavigationView{
List {
//After some ForEach's and Section's
//This view is working.
NavigationLink(destination: ContactDetailView(contact: self.$contactsModel.contacts[sectionIdx].contacts[contactIdx])) {
Text(self.contactsModel.contacts[sectionIdx].contacts[contactIdx].givenName)
}
}
.navigationBarTitle("Contacts")
}
}
}
struct ContactView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
@Binding var contact: CNContact
func makeCoordinator() -> ContactView.Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ContactView>) -> CNContactViewController {
let controller = CNContactViewController(for: contact)
self.navigationBarHidden(true)
return controller
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: CNContactViewController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ContactView>) {
print(context)
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, CNContactViewControllerDelegate {
var parent: ContactView
init(_ contactDetail: ContactView) {
self.parent = contactDetail
self.parent.navigationBarHidden(true)
}
}
}
In the ContactView, both of those self.navigationBarHidden(true)'s are not working. As an example of the problem here is the native app's screenshot;
And here is the result of my code;
A:
As the question is got an upvote I thought I can share my half way solution. This solves the gap however during the transition to detail there is a glitch of navigation bar with background color. After the transition it is becoming clear.
struct ContactDetailView: View {
var contact: CNContact
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.clear
ContactView(contact: self.contact)
.navigationBarTitle("", displayMode: .inline)
}.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top)
}
}
struct ContactView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
var contact: CNContact
func makeCoordinator() -> ContactView.Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ContactView>) -> CNContactViewController {
let controller = CNContactViewController(forUnknownContact: contact)
controller.allowsActions = true
controller.allowsEditing = false
controller.delegate = context.coordinator
return controller
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: CNContactViewController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<ContactView>) {
print("updated")
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, CNContactViewControllerDelegate {
var parent: ContactView
init(_ contactDetail: ContactView) {
self.parent = contactDetail
}
func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController, didCompleteWith contact: CNContact?) {
}
func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController, shouldPerformDefaultActionFor property: CNContactProperty) -> Bool {
return true
}
}
}

About The Essence of This Fractal: This fractal form streams energy from the animal kingdom in a connection to our hearts. For the deep devoting love that IS every dog…. Every animal in the collective charge of all humans (man) is part of the great force attempting to teach humans the essence of unconditional love and the lessons behind primal survival instinct and human behaviors. Being still and making connection with this great energy and consciousness can only spark a caring action to well from within and seek a way to express as a gratitude for [their] efforts to help humans heal the deep empty spot that is hidden within that calls for the joy and unconditional constant love that only a dog (but yet in a way all animals) can show us, and offer us in such a simple way as by just being what, and who, they are…. man’s best friend. |
Sitting is the New Smoking
When I joined my current team last summer - a Total Rewards group with a thriving employee wellness department - one of the first things I noticed (and heard people talking about) was the fast growing notion that sitting forprolonged periods of timecould be just as bad for someone's healthas being a heavy smoker. Being someone that lost a parent to lung cancer, I've been pretty anti-smoking in all its forms for as long as I can remember; but here I am, an HR professional who finds themselves sitting through huge chunks of their day either checking email, working on a report/presentation/something involving my computer, or sitting at a conference table for a meeting. And with this came a more clear understanding of why the people in my department were so often found standing up, wandering around the back of the room, and the like at organization wide meetings over the last several years - they got it, they tried to help others get it, and now I'm working somewhere that the idea of being more up and about and active is a growing part of the culture. So, I've started to embrace that culture with little things by parking in the back lot which forces me to take the stairs up to my office and when possible walking to someone's desk to respond to quick and easy questions as opposed to firing off another email - but I'm left wondering what are some other things I can do?
One area I can control and enact immediate change upon is how my team of managers meets - we have a group session every other week where we discuss what's been taking place in their areas the past two weeks, what's boiling at the moment, what victories they and their teams have had, and what they see coming on the horizon. The agenda is generally loose and is as much as anything an opportunity for my managers to build relationships, understand how their functions are impacting others, and to have an opportunity to simply debrief. We could have these meetings in my office or a conference room or we could take the steps down to the courtyard and have a walking meeting (an initiative I was able to start yesterday thanks to what looked like lingering rain clouds holding off).
Another area I have some modicum of control over is how my staff does their work, we went through a recent office remodel and we tried to make sure that employees had adequate space and resources (we were moving to smaller workstations), but we also wanted to make sure they had the right kinds of resources (appropriate lighting, wrist friendly mice, good chairs, foot supports, etc.). Now as I think about what we might be able to do looking forward, I get excited about the prospects of innovations like StandDesk- an affordable, user friendly, and aesthetically pleasing sit/stand work desk that's closing out a super successful Kickstarter campaign - needless to say, I'm trying to figure out how I can secure one in the future. But don't take my word (and excitement) for it, check out the video below (and then try and tell me you don't want one too): |
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) made a discovery that could lead to more efficient power plants and new way of extracting energy from the atmosphere, according to a press release.
The researchers were performing work on an extension of a previous project when they unexpectedly discovered tiny water droplets to cause an electrical charge when they form on a super-hydrophobic surface and "jump" off.
The previous work, from the same team, showed the droplets could in fact leap off the super-hydrophobic surface instead of simply rolling down and dropping due to gravity. The spontaneous leaping occurs when the droplets of water condense on a metal surface with a certain super-hydrophobic coating and with the release of excess surface energy.
"We found that when these droplets jump, through analysis of high-speed video, we saw that they repel one another midflight," co-author Nenad Miljkovic, an MIT post-doctoral student, said. "Previous studies have shown no such effect. When we first saw that, we were intrigued."
The researchers were able to confirm the reaction of the water droplets was caused by a net positive electrical charge by introducing an electrode. When they used a positively charged electrode, the droplets were repelled, but the negatively charged one attracted them toward it.
During the charging process, the droplets form a double layer of paired positive and negatively charged surfaces. The leaping occurs when neighboring droplets coalesce and the two different charges separate extremely quickly.
The authors reported their findings in the journal Nature Communications.
Miljkovic said the whole process is so fast, "It leaves a bit of charge on the droplet, and the rest on the surface."
Because the droplets could jump off of a condenser surface, a component vital to most of the world's electricity-generating power plants, many could benefit from the researcher's findings. With the proper mechanism, power plants all over the world could become more energy efficient.
Miljkovic also said there is another use for the team's discovery: converting ambient air condensation into power. He said this would be made possible by placing two metal plates parallel to one another with droplets jumping off one and being collected by the other.
"You just need a cold surface in a moist environment," Miljkovic said. "We're working on demonstrating this concept." |
