THE NEED
Homes in the village of Armenta, Honduras only receive water one day a week.In addition the medical center that treats both people and animals often goes without water for days, greatly hampering their ability to adequately serve the community. The people we visited are allowed to fill up their pillas (home water storage facility) one day a week. They draw all water for drinking, preparing food, laundry, bathing, sanitation, etc, from that single home storage source throughout the week.
PROJECT SCOPE
The goal of our site assessment trip will be to gather all information necessary to develop a Master Water Plan for the community. This will include recommended enhancements to their existing Water Program including things like; developing ways to improve maintenance and capital fund generation, improved water distribution layout and monitoring practices, maintenance education and a physical implementation of a phased-in improved water distribution system to meet their current water needs as well as make provision for future expansion.
FUTURE INVOLVEMENT
We have already built a pedestrian bridge for this community over another waterway that previously divided the community in half. We eagerly look forward to working with them to fund, develop and implement a reliable clean water system. Beyond this project we anticipate looking into ways to effectively handle all the “grey water” this project produces. We recognize this as a “good challenge” to have and one we eagerly look forward to. |
A Dallas-area state representative has introduced legislation aimed at preventing anyone from discriminating against those who want to research intelligent design in Texas. Rep. Bill Zedler of Arlington sponsored House Bill HB2454 because he believes that colleges are keeping important research into the controversial theory from happening.
"It appears there is academic freedom to debate every issue other than this one," he said.
Calling it a "free speech issue," Zedler believes that those who want to study this particular theory do not have equal footing with other scientists.
"Some schools have a guy out there praising Hugo Chavez and nothing happens to him. You have others espousing communism and nothing happens," he explained. "Lo and behold, you talk about anything that might lead to intelligent design, I mean to tell you, [they] are gonna go after you."
Zedler claims that professors are being denied tenure and even losing their jobs because they want to spend university research dollars looking into the theory of intelligent design. When asked if he could cite specific examples, he was unable to, but said we could e-mail him for that information. At the time of posting, we had not received a response to our request for information in that regard.
For his part, Zedler says researchers should be able to "follow the evidence" regardless of where it leads. He believes no one should be discriminated against no matter what theory they put forth and he hopes HB2454 will prevent witch hunts against those who would want to study any theory.
"What this will do is basically put everybody on notice that somebody shouldn't have to be tarred and feathered [for this]," he said.
Zedler doesn't believe more left-leaning scientific research like whether homosexuality is a choice or part of genetic code is being discriminated against, but he claims the bill is necessary for legitimate research into intelligent design. |

Client (computing)
A client is a piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a service made available by a server. The server is often (but not always) on another computer system, in which case the client accesses the service by way of a network.
Overview
A client is a computer or a program that, as part of its operation, relies on sending a request to another program or a computer hardware or software that accesses a service made available by a server (which may or may not be located on another computer). For example, web browsers are clients that connect to web servers and retrieve web pages for display. Email clients retrieve email from mail servers. Online chat uses a variety of clients, which vary on the chat protocol being used. Multiplayer video games or online video games may run as a client on each computer. The term "client" may also be applied to computers or devices that run the client software or users that use the client software.
A client is part of a client–server model, which is still used today. Clients and servers may be computer programs run on the same machine and connect via inter-process communication techniques. Combined with Internet sockets, programs may connect to a service operating on a possibly remote system through the Internet protocol suite. Servers wait for potential clients to initiate connections that they may accept.
The term was first applied to devices that were not capable of running their own stand-alone programs, but could interact with remote computers via a network. These computer terminals were clients of the time-sharing mainframe computer.
Types
In one classification, client computers and devices are either thick clients, thin clients, or hybrid clients.
Thick
A Thick client, also known as a rich client or fat client, is a client that performs the bulk of any data processing operations itself, and does not necessarily rely on the server. The personal computer is a common example of a fat client, because of its relatively large set of features and capabilities and its light reliance upon a server. For example, a computer running an Art program (such as Krita or Sketchup) that ultimately shares the result of its work on a network is a thick client. A computer that runs almost entirely as a standalone machine save to send or receive files via a network is by standard called a workstation.
Thin
A thin client is a minimal sort of client. Thin clients use the resources of the host computer. A thin client generally only presents processed data provided by an application server, which performs the bulk of any required data processing. A device using web application (such as Office Web Apps) is a thin client.
Hybrid
A hybrid client is a mixture of the above two client models. Similar to a fat client, it processes locally, but relies on the server for storing persistent data. This approach offers features from both the fat client (multimedia support, high performance) and the thin client (high manageability, flexibility). A device running an online version of the video game Diablo III is an example of hybrid client.

Q:
Change the url of asp.net page from code behind
I am trying to change change the url of current aspx page to the other url on a click of button. Using Request.Url.AbsoluteUri i can get the url but is it possible to modify?. If yes, what actions will it take i mean will it be a new request or a post back.
Please let me know your views.
Thanks,
Mehul makwana
A:
No, it's not possible to modify the URL of the current page from code behind.
When the code runs, a new request or postback is already in progress, so the current page will not exist any more once the new response is complete.
When the page that is currently being created loads in the browser, it's URL will be used instead of the URL of the current page. This URL has already been decided before the request, so you can't change that either.
What you can do is to use the Response.Redirect method to return a redirection page to the browser with the URL that you want. The browser will then make another request to the server to get the page with that URL.
If you want to change the URL of the page to get without using a redirect, doing it in code behind is too late. You have to change what the button does using client script, so that it requests the new URL directly without doing a postback.
A:
You can use Response.Redirect() or Server.Transfer(), although I'd use the former rather than the latter.

Enzyme replacement therapy in Anderson-Fabry's disease: beneficial clinical effect on vital organ function.
Two recent randomized trials pointed out the beneficial effect of enzyme replacement therapy on biochemical parameters in patients with Anderson-Fabry's disease. Clinical end-points, such as amelioration or stabilization of renal function deterioration, or improvement of left ventricular hypertrophy have not been evaluated in depth. We report the case of a patient whose moderately impaired renal function was stabilized with the start of enzyme treatment. In addition, left ventricular hypertrophy tended to regress. To our knowledge this is the first observation of clinical efficacy of the enzyme replacement therapy in Anderson-Fabry's disease in patients with moderately impaired renal function. |
Preparation of early Drosophila embryonic fillets (before cuticle deposition).
This article describes the dissection of early Drosophila embryos to generate flat or fillet preparations. For the procedure, a modified chamber or well is designed using glass slides and sealant. Embryos are dissected by removing the chorionic (outer) membrane (performed outside the chamber) and then removing the vitelline (inner) membrane (performed inside the chamber and under saline). |
Q:
Protect static files using jwt authentication
I'd like to protect static files with JWT authentication. Is it possible to achieve without cookies? As I know the most common scenario for JWT is to pass token in request body or header, making AJAX call. But when browser requests static files (JS, CSS ... ), there is no way to add body to this request. So the only way is to store jwt token in cookie? Or there are others?
Update
Did you have specific objections to a cookie?
Im reading articles, and everyone is passing jwt token in body or Authorization header. I develop website with admin panel - SPA application, so Im wondering, should I protect html, bundle.js, css of this panel with cookie or protect only API and make these files public. Just want to know what is the common flow. And I thought, maybe it's possible somehow, to protect these files with Authorization header (like Basic Auth) but using JWT
A:
Most often it is unnecessary to protect static assets (e.g. .html, .css, .png, .js, etc.) files and protecting your API endpoints would suffice.
However, if you retrieve the assets (e.g. HTML fragments for an SPA) using AJAX, then you can pass the JWT as a header inside your request and in the backend your web server can inspect the header and return the HTML fragment only if the current user is authorized to access it.
Also you can store the JWT inside local storage and configure your AJAX library to get the token from the local storage and add it to your requests before sending them to the server.

Occlusive portal vein thrombosis as a new marker of decompensated cirrhosis.
Natural history of liver cirrhosis is divided into compensated and decompensated stage. Traditionally, the markers of decompensated cirrhosis include ascites, variceal hemorrhage, hepatic encephalopathy and jaundice. The clinical importance of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is increasingly recognized in patients with liver cirrhosis. The presence of PVT is not only an independent predictor of failure to control active variceal bleeding and prevent variceal rebleeding, but also significantly associated with increased mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. Besides, it greatly influences the technical success and outcome of endovascular interventional treatment and liver transplantation for liver cirrhosis and its secondary portal hypertension. Thus, we hypothesize that PVT should be regarded as a critical marker of decompensated cirrhosis, whether clinical events such as the development of ascites, encephalopathy, and variceal bleeding occur or not. Our hypothesis adds PVT into the definition of decompensated cirrhosis and reminds clinicians and investigators that PVT plays a vital role in natural history of liver cirrhosis. Further, it is essential to construct a new system of preventing and treating liver cirrhosis in the presence of PVT. |
Q:
Grothendieck topology on stacks/fibred category
Let $p : \mathcal{S} \rightarrow \mathcal{C}$ be a stack (or fibred category, I do not know if just being a fibred category is enough) over the site $\mathcal{C}$.
I have read somewhere (I forgot where but I think on "Stacks project") that the site $\mathcal{C}$ induces a Grothendieck topology on $\mathcal{S}$ (something to do with a definition of strongly Cartesian) but I forgot the link and also the proof.
Can somebody explain to me the proof of this result (or the link)?
A:
Given an object $U$ of $\mathcal{S}$, I would declare a collection of arrows $\{f_\alpha:U_\alpha\rightarrow U\}$ in $\mathcal{S}$ to be a cover of $U$ in $\mathcal{S}$ if their image $\{p(f_\alpha):p(U_\alpha)\rightarrow p(U))\}$ is a cover for $p(U)$ in $\mathcal{C}$ in the sense of Grothendieck topology on $\mathcal{C}$.
This gives a Grothendieck topology on $\mathcal{S}$.

A generation ago, transgender Americans were widely regarded as deviants, unfit for dignified workplaces, a disgrace for families. Those who confided in relatives were, by and large, pitied and shunned. For most, transitioning on the job was tantamount to career suicide. Medical procedures to align a person’s body with that person’s gender identity — an internal sense of being male, female or something else — were a fringe specialty, available only to a few who paid out of pocket.
Coming out meant going through life as a pariah.
Being transgender today remains unreasonably and unnecessarily hard. But it is far from hopeless. More Americans who have wrestled with gender identity are transitioning openly, propelling a civil rights movement that has struggled even as gays and lesbians have reached irreversible momentum in their fight for equality. |

Q:
How can I import the images of the configurable product in simple product?
I need to send my products for Amazon but I created simple products through configurable products. So simple products are no images.
How can I assign the images of configurable products to simple products to send them the Amazon?
A:
First, backup your database in case I'm wrong.
Let's say that $configurableProductId is the configurable product id.
Now you can run this script for a configurable product.
//load the configurable product - not a very fast way to do it, but you need a load to fetch all the images
$confProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($configurableProductId);
//get the images
$gallery = $product->getData('media_gallery');
//get the instance for the media_gallery attribute
$mediaGalleryAttribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', 'media_gallery');
//get access to a model that handles the image association to products
$resource = Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/product_attribute_backend_media');
if (isset($gallery['images'])) {
//get all simple child products ids
$simpleProductIds = $conProduct->getTypeInstance()->getUsedProductIds();
//for each simple product
foreach ($simpleProductIds as $productId) {
//for eahc image from the main product
foreach ($gallery['images'] as $image) {
//build an array with imag settings
$data = array();
$data['entity_id'] = $parentId;
$data['attribute_id'] = $mediaGalleryAttribute->getId();
$data['value'] = $image['file'];
//save the image and get the id
$lastId = $resource->insertGallery($data);
//set the label and position for the new images
$data = array();
$data['value_id'] = $lastId;
$data['label'] = $image['label'];
$data['position'] = (int) $image['position'];
$data['disabled'] = (int) $image['disabled'];
$data['store_id'] = (int) $product->getStoreId();
//finish the job
$resource->insertGalleryValueInStore($data);
}
}
}
If you need to get all the configurable products ids you can do this:
$productsIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('type_id', 'configurable')
->getAllIds();

Fracture-dislocation of the tarsal navicular in a soccer player.
We describe an unusual injury of the mid-tarsal region in a soccer goalkeeper. The injury occurred in a training game as a result of an abduction-plantar-flexion. Radiographs showed a fracture-dislocation of the tarsal navicular. The patient was treated by closed reduction with percutaneous fixation using two Kirschner wires. The end-result was satisfactory but the patient felt pain in the mid-foot during and after sports activities and was unable to continue playing as a goalkeeper. |

Optimal control of a collection of parametric oscillators.
The problem of effectively adiabatic control of a collection of classical harmonic oscillators sharing the same time-dependent frequency is analyzed. The phase differences between the oscillators remain fixed during the process. This fact leads us to adopt the coordinates: energy, Lagrangian, and correlation, which have proved useful in a quantum description and which have the advantage of treating both the classical and quantum problem in one unified framework. A representation theorem showing that two classical oscillators can represent an arbitrary collection of classical or quantum oscillators is proved. An invariant, the Casimir companion, consisting of a combination of our coordinates, is the key to determining the minimum reachable energy. We present a condition for two states to be connectable using one-jump controls and enumerate all possible switchings for one-jump effectively adiabatic controls connecting any initial state to any reachable final state. Examples are discussed. One important consequence is that an initially microcanonical ensemble of oscillators will be transformed into another microcanonical ensemble by effectively adiabatic control. Likewise, a canonical ensemble becomes another canonical ensemble. |

Artificial neural networks for determination of enantiomeric composition of alpha-phenylglycine using UV spectra of cyclodextrin host-guest complexes: comparison of feed-forward and radial basis function networks.
In this work feed-forward neural networks and radial basis function networks were used for the determination of enantiomeric composition of alpha-phenylglycine using UV spectra of cyclodextrin host-guest complexes and the data provided by two techniques were compared. Wavelet transformation (WT) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used for data compression prior to neural network construction and their efficiencies were compared. The structures of the wavelet transformation-radial basis function networks (WT-RBFNs) and wavelet transformation-feed-forward neural networks (WT-FFNNs), were simplified by using the corresponding wavelet coefficients of three mother wavelets (Mexican hat, daubechies and symlets). Dilation parameters, number of inputs, hidden nodes, learning rate, transfer functions, number of epochs and SPREAD values were optimized. Performances of the proposed methods were tested with regard to root mean square errors of prediction (RMSE%), using synthetic solutions containing a fixed concentration of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and fixed concentration of alpha-phenylglycine (alpha-Gly) with different enantiomeric compositions. Although satisfactory results with regard to some statistical parameters were obtained for all the investigated methods but the best results were achieved by WT-RBFNs. |

Translation Elongation Factor 1alpha (EF-1alpha) is a central protein involved in delivering aminoacyl-tRNAs to the ribosome and assuring incorporation of the appropriate amino acid during protein synthesis. While this protein is extremely abundant, the cell needs to modulate the activity or levels of EF-1alpha for normal cellular growth since inappropriate expression of EF-alpha results in transformation of cell lines and occurs in many carcinomas. Further, changes in the activity of EF-1alpha occur during aging and alter longevity. The goal of this project is to understand the mechanisms that regulate efficient and accurate translation. There are many different mechanisms to assure the accurate and efficient translation of an mRNA, and it is clear these mechanisms converge on the action of EF-1alpha. The central role of EF-1alpha in elongation and its interactions with proteins and RNAs that modulate its activity are a very important factor in this process. Our previous studies support the hypothesis that changes in translational fidelity in cells harboring mutations in EF-1alpha are a result of many different effects on gene expression in vivo. Current models of elongation predict these include indirect effects that result from changes in the pool of active EF-1alpha x GTP and thus the occupancy of the A-site of the ribosome. However, EF-1alpha also directly affects this process through the presentation of aa-tRNA to the ribosome, the determination of cognate codon-anticodon interactions, and the hydrolysis of GTP required for kinetic proofreading. The use of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae allows analysis of the translation elongation cycle both in vivo and in vitro. This proposal describes a set of biochemical studies of mutations predicted or designed to analyze both direct and indirect effects of EF-1alpha on accurate gene expression. Purification and analysis of wild-type and mutant EF-1alpha proteins in the partial reactions of translation elongation will determine the causes of the in vivo translation and growth phenotypes of these mutations. Furthermore, this information is utilized to apply genetic approaches to identify and characterize factors that modulate EF-1alpha activity; the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (EF-1Beta) and the GTPase activating factor (the ribosome). This analysis will also identify novel factors that affect or regulate acurate elongation. This coordinated approach is a unique method to extend our understanding of the many EF-1alpha dependent steps required for accurate and efficient gene expression. |
Complement and coagulation: strangers or partners in crime?
The convergence between complement and the clotting system extends far beyond the chemical nature of the complement and coagulation components, both of which form proteolytic cascades. Complement effectors directly enhance coagulation. These effects are supplemented by the interactions of complement with other inflammatory mediators that can increase the thrombogenicity of blood. In addition, complement inhibits anticoagulant factors. The crosstalk between complement and coagulation is also well illustrated by the ability of certain coagulation enzymes to activate complement components. Understanding the interplay between complement and coagulation has fundamental clinical implications in the context of diseases with an inflammatory pathogenesis, in which complement-coagulation interactions contribute to the development of life-threatening complications. Here, we review the interactions of the complement system with hemostasis and their roles in various diseases. |

The primary use of air fresheners is to mask odor. A technically advanced air freshener is one that provides longer lasting performance. A need exists for the determination by means of the use of an effective testing system of physical-chemical properties that control the sustained performance of an air freshener fragrance.
It is, accordingly, an object of my invention to devise apparatus and a process for the simultaneous evaluation of an air freshener's performance for its hedonics, intensity, volatile content, diffusivity and weight loss as a function of time in a controlled environment of temperature and air mixing. It is another object of my invention to combine the advantages of a laboratory system that allows for only analytical measurements and a full scale test of odor performance in a specifically designed environment that allows only sensory testing.
Nothing in the prior art provides a system whereby a controlled environment that allows for both sensory and analytical measurements of a fragrance's performance as is the case in my invention. |

Q:
How do I get events in the X window system without pausing execution?
I need to get events from the X window system without pausing the execution of my program. Currently, I use XNextEvent(dpy, &xev) to get the events, but is there way to get events and run my own code simultaneously?
A:
while (XPending(dpy))
{
XNextEvent(dpy, &e);
switch (e.type)
{
case Expose:
break;
// Manage events...
default:
break;
}
}
XPending(Display *display) : Return the number of events in the Queue for the associated display.
You can remplace XNextEvent(dpy, &e); by one of this functions, for get events only for specified Window / Mask or the two at same time :
XCheckTypedEvent();
XCheckTypedWindowEvent();
XcheckWindowEvent();
These 3functions are non-blocking.
For exemple, if you want to fecth event for a specified Window only, you can do :
while (XcheckWindowEvent(dpy, window, your_event_mask, &e))
{
switch (e.type)
{
case Expose:
break;
// Manage events...
default:
break;
}

Q:
Updating objectURL in JavaScript
Suppose I am receiving data from a video chat and I need to add the data to the video element in the HTML page.
So here is the code:
var payload = []; // This array keeps updating, since it is getting the data from the network using media stream.
var remoteVideo = document.getElementById('remoteVideo');
var buffer = new Blob([], { type: "video/x-matroska;codecs=avc1,opus" });
var url = URL.createObjectURL(buffer);
remoteVideo.src = url;
Now, I am getting data in the buffer. How do I update the url i have created instead of creating a new one again to view the video?
A:
I think you might not need to update the url at all using MediaSource,the process goes like this:
Create a MediaSource Object.
Create an object URL from the MediaSource using createObjectURl
Set the video's src to the object URL
listen tosourceopen event and when it occurs, create a SourceBuffer instance.
Use SourceBuffer.appendBuffer() to add all of your chunks to the video.
But pay close attention to MediaSource limitations and considerations.
EDIT:
I found this Answer which explains the process described above more precisely and also points out the considerations you should take, and also an example.

Women's decision making regarding hysterectomy.
To describe the decision-making process of women who choose hysterectomy for treatment of benign disease or distressing symptoms. Qualitative design based on grounded theory, using semistructured interviews. Participants were interviewed in their homes or at their place of employment. Ten women who were premenopausal prior to hysterectomy. Decision making began when the women recognized abnormal body changes or bothersome symptoms. Four major processes were identified. "Seeking Solutions" was characterized by information seeking, information processing, and utilization of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments in an attempt to cure the disease and/or alleviate symptoms. "Holding On" included managing symptoms, rearranging activities of daily living to accommodate symptoms, and waiting. "Changing Course" was characterized by an abrupt change from Holding On to focusing on hysterectomy as the solution to the distressing symptoms. During "Taking Charge," the women displayed purposeful actions directed at arranging and preparing for surgery. Understanding the process of decision making will enable nurses to provide support for women who choose hysterectomy for treatment of benign gynecologic diseases and/or distressing gynecologic symptoms. Nurses' support of women's decision making should include referrals, education, and emotional support. In addition, nurses can help these women improve their quality of life by assisting them with symptom management. |
Statistics of the optical intensity of a chaotic external-cavity DFB laser.
We study experimentally and theoretically the first- and second-order statistics of the optical intensity of a chaotic external-cavity semiconductor DFB laser in fully developed coherence-collapse. The second-order statistic is characterized by the autocorrelation, where we achieve consistent experimental and theoretical results over the entire parameter range considered. For the first-order statistic, we find that the experimental probability-density function is significantly more concentrated around the mean optical power and robust to parameter changes than theory predicts. |
[Proposal for the implementation of an interdisciplinary program to support the work of the nursing staff].

External coaptation.
The goal of any method of fracture repair should be the early return of total limb function and the prevention of fracture disease. This can be accomplished through adhering to the basic principles of good patient and fracture assessment, choosing the correct method of fracture repair, and appropriate patient care. The complications of external coaptation can be minimized by appropriate patient and fracture assessment as well as correct cast and splint application. Choosing external coaptation as a method of fracture repair can be rewarding as long as the appropriate steps are taken to ensure success. |
pH-responsive properties of hollow polyelectrolyte microcapsules templated on various cores.
Hollow polyelectrolyte microcapsules made of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and sodium poly(styrene sulfonate), templated on various cores, manganese and calcium carbonate particles or polystyrene latexes, were investigated. The polyelectrolyte multilayers respond to a change of pH, leading to a swelling of the capsules in basic conditions and a further shrinking when the pH is reduced to acidic. The nature of the core and the subsequent dissolution process have an influence on this pH responsiveness, and the structuring effect of tetrahydrofuran on the multilayers has been demonstrated. Increasing the molecular weight of the polymers or the number of layers causes also a rigidification of the structure and modifies the pH response. |

Methemalbumin: reality and myth.
The ability to form methemalbumin by binding oxidized heme is described frequently as a characteristic of albumin from all animal species. Actually, only albumin from a limited number of species makes methemalbumin. Lack of recognition of interspecies differences has led to the myth of methemalbumin in domestic animals. The literature on methemalbumin is reviewed including the chemical characteristics of true methemalbumin and the misuse of mythical methemalbumin. |
(CNN) Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' lead in New Hampshire continues to hold, according to the second release from a tracking poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire for CNN.
Saturday's interviews, which make up roughly a quarter of the poll's sample, show Klobuchar having her best day in the tracker so far, while Warren had her worst.
Still, the major contours of the race have held steady: Sanders continues to outpace Buttigieg by a wide margin among those who have definitely made up their minds about whom to support, while the two top contenders run about even among those who have yet to commit to a candidate.

This invention relates to typewriters and more particularly relates to a device used in conjunction with a typewriter to aid in precisely locating a character space among other typewriter characters.
In many cases after a letter has been typed and proofread an error is found, after the paper is taken from the typewriter. To avoid completely retyping the page, the letter is reinserted into the typewriter, erasure made where necessary, and then an attempt is made to place the correct character in the erased space.
This is a very difficult procedure. Once the paper has been removed from the typewriter it is quite difficult to realign a given line correctly and also to locate the space in relation to the type hammer bearing the character to be inserted.
In some cases the foregoing problem arises even if the paper is not removed from the typewriter due to slippage of the paper as it is rolled in the typewriter, and/or the paper nearing the bottom.
The present invention overcomes these difficulties in alignment by providing a new and improved device which permits the typist to make a sample strike of the character to be inserted, which device is attached to the paper bar of the typewriter and may easily be moved between an operative and an inoperative position.
Briefly stated, the invention, in one form thereof, comprises a member which is slidable along the paper bar to a position where it is out of the way and does not interfere with typing. The device is also rotatable on the paper bar and has a transparent sheet which will extend behind the card holder or line guide. The transparent sheet is preferably curved, so as to be complimentary to the curvature of the roller or platen of the typewriter.
An object of this invention is to provide a new and improved device for enabling a typist to add a character in the proper spacing on a typewritten sheet of paper.
Another object of this invention is to provide such a device which is located on the typewriter and may be easily moved into and out of an operative position. |

Q:
Linq Newbie. Can I write this Linq query more concise?
Dim entName = "Some Auto Dealer"
Dim whereEntity As Expression(Of Func(Of Entity, Boolean)) = Function(en) en.ENTY_Name = entName
Dim login = Repository(Of Entity).Create().FindSingle(whereEntity)
Dim whereDealer As Expression(Of Func(Of Dealer, Boolean)) = Function(dlr) dlr.Entity.Equals(login)
Dim dealer = Repository(Of Dealer).Create().FindSingle(whereDealer)
Dim whereContract As Expression(Of Func(Of MBI_Contract, Boolean)) = Function(c) c.Dealer.Equals(dealer) AndAlso c.Vehicle.Make.Equals(ford)
Dim fordContractsFromPSAuto = Repository(Of MBI_Contract).Create().FindAll(whereContract).ToList()
How can I write this better? It works and it's pretty fast, but it seems kind of overkill to me. The FindSingle and FindAll take Expression(Of Func(Of T, Boolean)) as an arg for the Where clause. This is my first dabble at writing Lambda expression so please forgive me if it looks bad.
Note Repository is a generic class and Create is a factory method that returns a DataContext object. This application is using LinqToSql.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
~ck in San Diego
A:
I'm a C# programmer, so I'm sorry if this suggestion doesn't really apply; In C#, I would typically use one line that contains the lambda and the method call; eg:
var login = Repository<Entity>.Create().Single(en => en.ENTY_Name == entName);
I think you could do something similar in VB like:
Dim login = Repository(Of Entity).Create().FindSingle( _
Function(en) en.ENTY_Name = entName)
This probably comes down to personal preference though...
As an alternative, you could rewrite the whole thing using the query-like syntax; I don't use it very often so I can't convert your very quickly, but it'd be more like:
Dim contract = From c in Repository(Of MBI_Contract) _
join d in Repository(Of Dealer) on c.Dealer equals d _
where d.Entity.ENTY_Name = entName _
select c

Bitcoin is the Future, Not NFC, Says PayPal President David Marcus
Bitcoin has more potential to revolutionize commerce than near-field communication (NFC) technology does, PayPal president David Marcus said at the LeWeb conference in Paris today.
Marcus stressed he is a big fan of bitcoin and has a personal stash of the digital currency, but said the majority of people don’t currently understand what bitcoins actually are, CNET reports.
“People are confused. They think because it’s called cryptocurrency it’s a currency. I don’t think it is a currency. It’s a store of value, a distributed ledger,” he said.
While Marcus is largely positive about bitcoin, he doesn’t have many kind words to say about NFC, calling it “technology for the sake of technology”.
“Instead swiping or using a PIN pad, they’re tapping. How is that really better? How is that changing your life? People don’t want that,” he said.
Marcus wants payments to become more seamless. He sees a future where consumers won’t have to visit a checkout to pay for their goods, they will use wireless technology to pay from wherever they are in a store.
“Today a merchant has Internet connectivity at the point-of-sale terminal. All the consumers have phones with wireless networks. Why do you need to be at a place in a store to make a payment?” he said.
Marcus concluded that, over the coming years, retail chains really have some work to do to reinvent themselves and their payment systems.
Just last month, eBay president John Donahoe told the Financial Times that PayPal could, one day, incorporate bitcoin. He also stated that digital currency is going to become a “very powerful thing”.
The e-commerce group is keeping its eye on bitcoin and, in the meantime, it’s focus is on incorporating reward points from retailer loyalty schemes with its PayPal wallet. |
Rogue waves in a multistable system.
Clear evidence of rogue waves in a multistable system is revealed by experiments with an erbium-doped fiber laser driven by harmonic pump modulation. The mechanism for the rogue wave formation lies in the interplay of stochastic processes with multistable deterministic dynamics. Low-frequency noise applied to a diode pump current induces rare jumps to coexisting subharmonic states with high-amplitude pulses perceived as rogue waves. The probability of these events depends on the noise filtered frequency and grows up when the noise amplitude increases. The probability distribution of spike amplitudes confirms the rogue wave character of the observed phenomenon. The results of numerical simulations are in good agreement with experiments. |
Epigenetic immunomodulation of hematopoietic malignancies.
Significant progress has been made in the clinical management of hematologic malignancies; nevertheless, a proportion of patients still remains unresponsive to available therapeutic options. Furthermore, patients who respond to specific therapeutic regimens may still require additional treatment to eradicate minimal residual disease. In this scenario, novel immunotherapeutic strategies may significantly impact on the clinical course of hematopoietic tumors in different clinical stages of disease. Among immunotherapeutic approaches under development, promising clinical results are being obtained with vaccination of patients with solid malignancies against cancer testis antigens (CTA), which belong to a growing family of methylation-regulated tumor-associated antigens (TAA) shared among human malignancies of different histologies. Based on these notions, the emerging preclinical and clinical evidence suggest that an immunomodulatory role for epigenetic drugs is highly relevant; in fact, by interfering with DNA methylation, these compounds induce or upregulate the constitutive expression of CTA on actively proliferating neoplastic cells. This novel activity of epigenetic drugs combines with their well-known cytotoxic, pro-apoptotic and differentiating activities in hematopoietic tumors that are extensively described in other chapters of this issue. This review will focus on the expression of CTA in hematopoietic malignancies, on their epigenetic regulation, and on the foreseeable immunotherapeutic implications of DNA hypometylating drugs to design new CTA-based chemo-immunotherapeutic approaches in patients with hematopoietic tumors. |

How to count rows form mysql with PHP
Trying to get total count of rows using variable in sql query but not able to get that can anyone here help me with this ?
<?php
$business = $value['business_name'];
//echo $business;
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM listings_reviews WHERE business_name = '$business'";
$result = $conn-> query($sql);
$row = $result -> fetch_assoc();
//print_r ($row) ;
$rating = implode($row);
echo $rating;
?>
A:
Give an alias to your COUNT(*) in the SQL, for example, here I have aliased it to cnt.
Then in PHP you can identify clearly the variable of the $row array
$business = $value['business_name'];
//echo $business;
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS cnt FROM listings_reviews WHERE business_name = '$business'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$rating = $row["cnt"];

What is exactly a cross face position in BJJ?
I'm training BJJ but my native language is not english. I tried translation but it didn't work as well.
So I'm wondering: what is a cross face? I see people mentioning this cross face position, when passing the guard.
I apreciate!
A:
A crossface is a way to gain positional control of an opponent while working from side control (side control is also called cross side or side mount). The gist of it is that you are driving shoulder pressure into the chin of your opponent to mitigate his/her mobility. More specifically, using a crossface helps prevent your opponent from turning toward you so that they can either hip away from you or roll into you to initiate some sort of escape.

George Monbiot had an article in the Guardian on Monday about bastardised libertarianism and its inability to understand the real freedoms being fought for by environmentalists and social justice advocates. However, Monbiot’s treatment of environmentalism’s threat to libertarianism was a bit sloppy. He got sucked into the negative freedom and positive freedom debate, and although he worked his way to the correct conclusion ultimately, I felt like the clarity was lacking.
So I want to explain more clearly just how much environmentalists stick in the side of libertarian ideology. First, consider what libertarians of the sort Monbiot criticizes are really about philosophically: they favor a procedural justice account of the world based heavily on property rights. This is the newest face of libertarianism. Gone is the appeal to utility and desert. The modern libertarians try to prop up their political ideas almost solely through a rigid formalism of property rights.
I have written before about the problem with the procedural accounts of property rights, but here I want to just accept the libertarian property rights premise. Somehow individuals can grab up pieces of the world and exclude those pieces from everyone else forever. Once those individuals become owners of their respective property, nobody else can touch that property or do anything whatsoever to that property without their consent. Coming onto my property without my consent is a form of trespass under this picture. Doing anything to my property — whether it be painting it, dumping stuff on it, or causing some other harm to it — is totally off limits.
So environmentalists point out that carbon emissions are warming the planet, one consequence of which is that harm will be done to the property of others. Most environmentalists — being the leftists that they generally are — do not make too much of the property rights issues, but one certainly could. Coal plants release particulates into the air which land on other people’s property. But no permission is ever granted for that. Coal plants do not contract with every nearby property owner to allow for them to deposit small amounts of particulate matter on their neighbors’ land. They are guilty of a form of property trespass.
Beyond that, all sorts of industrial processes have environmental externalities that put things into the air or the water that ultimately make their way into the bodies of others. This is a rights-infringing activity under the procedure-focused libertarian account. The act of some industry is causing pieces of matter to land on me and enter into my body. But I never contracted with them to allow them to do so.
The air and the atmosphere is an especially problematic issue for libertarians. Who owns those things? Libertarians might try to argue that you own the air above your land, but air — or the matter that it is made up of — does not stay above your land; it moves around the world. Any matter released into the air is sure to find itself to someone else’s property, causing a violation. The atmosphere might seem like something nobody owns and therefore something anybody can dump things into. But with climate change, we know that greenhouse gas emissions are causing the world to warm, the consequences of which will include damage to the property of others all over the world. Yet again though, greenhouse gas emitters have not contracted with every single property owner in the world, making their emissions a violation of a very strict libertarian property rights ideology.
The short of is that environmentalists totally smash open the idea that property rights theories can really account for who is permitted to do what with the land that they own. Almost all uses of land will entail some infringement on some other piece of land that is owned by someone else. So how can that ever be permitted? No story about freedom and property rights can ever justify the pollution of the air or the burning of fuels because those things affect the freedom and property rights of others. Those actions ultimately cause damage to surrounding property and people without getting any consent from those affected. They are the ethical equivalent — for honest libertarians — of punching someone in the face or breaking someone else’s window.
That is why environmentalism is such a huge problem for libertarians, and it is no doubt why so many of them are skeptical of the effects of climate change or other environmental issues. Admitting that someone’s use of their own property almost certainly entails an infringement on someone else’s property makes the whole libertarian position basically impossible to act out in the real world. A landowner could never get individual contracts with literally every single person that might ever be affected by the owner’s land-use (e.g. operating a coal-burning power plant). But a libertarian that was honest about environmental externalities would require such a landowner to undertake precisely that impossible task. |
The demonstrators included “Black bloc” protesters, who wear masks and black clothing to present a unified front as they disrupt events, making it difficult for police to recognize individuals in the group. They are often seen at protests organized by groups such as Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street, destroying property and setting fires. They torched a limousine in Washington last month on the day of Trump’s inauguration, and a group spray-painted buildings and smashed electrical boxes during a demonstration in Portland, Ore., earlier in January. When a group of them arrived at Berkeley, it swiftly changed the tenor of the peaceful demonstration.
Some students organized to try to protect the campus and businesses nearby, and then to pick up broken glass, scrub graffiti off buildings and clean the campus after the violence.
William Morrow, president of the Associated Students of the University of California, said in a statement that the cleanup effort showed what Berkeley students care about. “Last night was not reflective of that,” he said; students were expecting a peaceful protest, an exchange of opinions and a dance party, “but outside agitators infiltrated our community and didn’t treat it with the respect for our historic tradition of non-violence.” |

‘Mental’ musings
“Mental,” a procedural show offered in a psychiatric ward premiering tonight on Fox, gives us exactly what you’d expect. Instead of House solving the disease of the week or a cop solving the crime of the week, we now have a psychiatrist solving the mental illness of the week. Of course, that’s slightly unfair. He makes the turning point of the week with his patients because you can’t solve mental illness in a week. (In reality, I doubt there are many turning points made in the space of a week, either.) Still, if you put the ludicrous nature of the premise aside, the show is enjoyable enough. Star Chris Vance (Whister on “Prison Break”) is charming enough (and his resemblance to a young Sting is eerie) as Dr. Jack Gallagher, who brings his maverick ways to the clinic, upsetting the status quo. Annabella Sciorra is his boss, who may have a thing for him. Oh, and Jack has some deep, dark personal secret because you can’t be a show called “Mental” without ripping something off from “The Mentalist.” I’m thinking Fox doesn’t have much faith in this series based on the post-season premiere. |
Optical networks are increasingly relied upon for communications and data transfer activities. However, while many data transfer activities involve communications across large geographical distances, the spatial expanse of “proprietary networks,” or those networks controlled by individual network providers, is often somewhat more limited. As a result, some network providers have sought to implement a system in which each network provider shares access to its own proprietary network, or “domain,” with other network providers. In that case, optical signals would be passed from one domain to another, thereby expanding the spatial communications capabilities of all users. By employing such a system, network providers hope to enable national and international communications services in line with customer demands.
One of the significant obstacles to the above system of network sharing is ensuring network interoperability, or the ability of one domain to effectively receive, process, and/or propagate optical signals from another domain. Specifically, in many cases, network providers are related to the communications service providers, and the various domains are configured to be consistent with specific communications methods and protocols. Components included in the network forming each domain, while well-suited for handling intra-domain optical signals, are often ill-suited to interacting with inter-domain optical signals, due to an inability to recognize degradation of the signals. Until recently, solutions to this issue focused on mainly software-implemented strategies to allow optical signals to be recognized by different domains. However, software solutions have failed to completely solve the problem, due to the requirement to reveal proprietary network information in order to create the software. As such, there is a need for an optical communications system in which domain interoperability is enhanced. |
Q:
How to specify a database schema in PowerDesigner
I want to export my model to a PostgreSQL database. If I do so as is, the objects are built in the Public schema, because the model doesn't specify a schema, and Public happens to be the default. Does anyone know a way to specify a schema in PowerDesigner?
I can change the default schema in the database, but that seems a little cheesy to me. I ought to be able to control that in my modeling tool, it seems to me.
A:
Go to the Tools Menu
Go to Model Options
Under Category>Model Settings>Table & View
Then you'll see Default owner on the right side.
Response to comment
PD is a great tool because it's very easy to try out simple cases. Follow these steps.
Create a new PDM for PostGRES
Add a table_1 (to it add columns_1, columns_2, columns_3)
Add a new user called DBO (make sure to set the NAME and the CODE to DBO)
Make the change I describe to the model options
Add a table_2 (to it add columns_1, columns_2, columns_3)
Now right click on the PDM in the browser pane and choose the preview tab.
You'll see:
Notice how the preview for table_2 has DBO. in front of the table name EXACTLY as you desire. I've also included in the screencap the screen for the List of Tables. You get to that via the Model menu. Notice how the owner is set to the DBO user for table_2, exactly like in the previewed DDL. If you go into the properties for table_1 or use this screen to change ALL of your tables en masse, all of your DDL will work the way you want.

The map $ \varphi $ is a map with for any $ \alpha \in Aut(F_n) $ the $(i,j)$-th entry of the matrix $ \varphi(a) $ is the sum of exponents of the letter $x_j$ in the $ a(x_i)$.
$F_n$ denotes the non-abelian free group generated by $n$ elements
A:
The easiest way to see this is to note that this map factors through an abelianization of $F_n$. Namely, if we quotient by the commutator subgroup then an element $x_{i_1}x_{i_2}\cdots x_{i_n}$ reduces to $x_1^{m_1}x_2^{m_2}\cdots x_n^{m_n}$, where $m_i$ is the sum of the exponents of $x_i$ in the expression. For any automorphism $\alpha:F_n\to F_n$ there is a corresponding automorphism $\alpha':\mathbb{Z}^n\to\mathbb{Z}^n$ where $\alpha'(x_i)$ is the element obtained by combining the powers of each generator. But $\alpha'$ is exactly the element of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ that $\alpha$ is mapped to.

The use of antidepressants has been associated with falling in the elderly, a serious problem. The aims of this research are to use a three- dimensional motion analysis system and psychomotor/mood tests to test the hypotheses that amitriptylene more so than desipramine more so than paroxetine affect gait and the propensity to trip and that changes in psychomotor performance or mood are correlated with changes in gait from baseline. |
Sint-Jansbeek
The Sint-Jansbeek () is a stream in Arnhem, which streams down from the hills of Zijpendaal through the Sonsbeek park and the inner city of Arnhem to the river Rhine. The Sint-Jansbeek has always been an open stream, but the part in the inner city is covered since the city moats were filled in the 19th century. The stream from the source in Zijpendaal through the park Sonsbeek is still open.

Health Ministry Postpones Pot Farm Plan
The Public Health Ministry has postponed growing marijuana for medical and research purposes due to a delay in the paperwork required to allow two universities to legally grow marijuana in the Northeast.
The farming is now expected to begin next week or early next month.
Rajamangala University of Technology Isan’s (RMUTI) Sakon Nakhon campus and Kasetsart University’s Chaloem Phrakiat campus in Sakon Nakhon were yesterday due to begin growing marijuana to supply the Phra Achan Fan Acharo Hospital in the same province to produce medical cannabis, said Dr Marut Chirasetthasiri, director-general of the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTTAM), on Tuesday.
Dr Marut said that because more documents were still required to be submitted before the marijuana cultivation could begin, the beginning of this particular plan would have to be postponed.
As for Daycha Siripatra, a Thai folk medicine practitioner and president of the Khaokwan Foundation, a medical cannabis advocacy group, his professional certification is still pending until the new regulations on folk medicine certifications are issued, according to Dr Marut. |
I am Chef Enis LeConnard. You haven’t heard of me because I run the most exclusive restaurant in this quadrant. It’s so expensive, you can’t even afford to know its name—let alone where it is. Because of my restaurant, the Michelin folks are busy designing a new logarithmic star system just to keep French Laundry from being categorically lumped with McDonald’s.
So, I’m certain you’ll find it a treat that I’ve deigned to hand you my techniques and recipes. Be forewarned: it’s not my fault if they don’t work for you. After all, you’re not a particularly good cook. You can’t expect to succeed. But you can try. I will help. Good luck. |

Hawlings River
Hawlings River is a tributary of the Patuxent River in Montgomery County, Maryland. The watershed covers an area of about . The headwaters of the river originate in the area north of Laytonsville, and the river flows southeast, entering the Patuxent about below the Triadelphia Reservoir. Portions of Hawlings River flow through
Rachel Carson Conservation Park and Hawlings River Stream Valley Park. Tributaries of the Hawlings River include Mount Zion Tributary, Reddy Branch, Olney Mill Tributary, Gregg Tributary, and James Creek. The river and its tributaries total about of streams.

Conventionally known inkjet printers include paper moving type inkjet printers and flatbed type inkjet printers. Paper moving type inkjet printers use ink heads that move in a primary scanning direction to print on media carried in an auxiliary scanning direction (perpendicular to the primary scanning direction) by a carrier device. Flatbed type inkjet printers use ink heads that move freely in the primary scanning direction and auxiliary scanning direction to print on the media. In these conventional inkjet printers, color inks of various colors are discharged from moving ink heads onto the media to perform color printing on the media.
In the color printing process using the inkjet printers described above, visible color inks, also called process color inks, such as cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K) which reflect light in their respective wavelength ranges, are generally used. The visible color inks in various colors are discharged from their individual ink heads for color printing to take place.
However, the brightness of the images printed in color using the visible color inks or process color inks is limited because of the limited brightness of the visible color inks. The problem lies in that the brightness of a combination of process colors cannot exceed a certain threshold. For example, even if a user feels that the brightness of an image is lacking upon viewing a finished piece of printed media, the brightness of the image beyond what is inherent in each of the visible color inks cannot be obtained.
As such, a color inkjet printer that can enhance the brightness of a printed color image is desired. |
Q:
Why we use GPG signatures for file verification instead of hash values?
for example here they put a gpg signature to verify what you download is what they really made. but why they just don't put a SHA256 hash value ? because its much more faster to check it and sometimes gpg may not be installed on our machine but SHA is something everywhere available also you even can upload the file on virustotal.com and it give you the hash !
if hash is secure why they use gpg if is not secure why we use hash values for everything ?
A:
When you check the hash value, you have to check it against a reference hash value: this does not solve the problem, just moves it around. You still have to make sure that you got the correct hash value. If the hash value is obtained through the same channel as the software package (i.e. you both got them from a HTTPS Web page), then you have gained nothing against attackers: if the attacker could alter the package, then he could also recompute the hash and alter the hash value you obtain so that you would not see any problem. Typically, someone who hijacks the download server itself.
Hash values "alone" are good at detecting random transmission errors (e.g. a router with bad RAM), not intentional alterations.
Digital signatures offer an enhanced service: they link the package to the individual who produced it, regardless of intermediate servers. With a GPG signature, you can download the package from a shady mirror site and still do not have to fear the package being bugged.
As for performance, know that signature verification will have the same cost as computing a hash, plus an extra mathematical operation which even an asthmatic PC should be able to do within a few milliseconds. I seriously doubt you could actually observe that extra cost.

Limitations of monotherapy trials in epilepsy.
Monotherapy is considered optimal management for most patients with epilepsy, but designing monotherapy trials in epilepsy has proved to be a complex endeavor. Consideration of the validity of evidence for efficacy, potential risks to patients, clinical applicability of results, and effects of dosing and titration rates on efficacy and tolerability creates unique challenges. This article reviews pertinent aspects of trials of conversion to monotherapy in refractory patients and equivalence trials in newly diagnosed patients to better understand their limitations. Despite the inherent difficulties in designing monotherapy trials in epilepsy, previous monotherapy studies have provided important information for clinical management with new treatments. |
A case is commonly used for containing things. Conventional cases are of two types. One type has a separate case body and case cover. The other type has the cover connected by ordinary means for movement on the body. However, the former case has been found to suffer from the case cover falling down on the ground if opened carelessly. The later case has been found to suffer from the need to use two hands when opening the case cover. This is inconvenient when one desires to hold things with one hand, and to use the other to take things out of the case.
Having reviewed the above-mentioned disadvantages in conventional cases, the present invention is disclosed below with the improvements in a case which comprises one embodiment of the present invention. |

Current practice in endodontics.
The aim of this series of six articles is to improve the quality of endodontic treatment in general dental practice by considering what is currently being taught in dental schools. This first article considers the rationale behind endodontic treatment, what we are aiming to achieve and why. It looks at the dental and medico-legal issues which dictate the standards of our practice, and sets out the programme for the series. |
Q:
Is querying the model from the viewmodel anti-pattern?
I use Linq-to-SQL to create my models. I have a Movies table that lists all of the users' favorite movies.
In my VM, I'll have access to a current user. I want to call to my linq entity to get all the users favorite movies. Is it bad practice to have the actual linq query to the Movies table directly in a method in my VM?
Public Class MyVM
Public Sub GetMovies()
'some linq query to get the movies based on the user's id
End Sub
...more stuff...
End Class
Or, should I have that method in my model and only call a GetAll(ByVal id as Integer) function from the model or a repository?
I'm pretty new to patterns. I know patterns are more of a guide, but I'd like to follow it correctly before I make those determinations when the situation arises.
A:
A view model is there to represent your data, for example on a view (in ASP.NET MVC).
For example lets say you have a view that has to display user data. You will return a User object by ID from a service or repository call (to a database). You will then map this User object to the view model. Then you would return this view model to the view and the view will use it to display the user's data to the client.
If I could then I could show you some C# code. I don't have time to go look up the VB.NET equivalent.

Running back Daryl Richardson only played four snaps in the team’s second preseason game.
It wasn’t because he’s falling out of favor with the coaching staff, though. It’s because the team has already seen all that they needed to see from Richardson to know that he’d be in the backfield when the offense opens up the season against the Cardinals. That was coach Jeff Fisher’s explanation at a Monday press conference that confirmed where things have been heading for some time.
“From a starting standpoint, yeah, I think Daryl would probably take the first snap against Arizona,” Fisher said.
It doesn’t hurt that Isaiah Pead won’t be available Week One because of a suspension, but Fisher made it clear that Richardson wasn’t starting by default. Fisher has said that he doesn’t anticipate having a bell cow back, so Pead should still see a good amount of work. Being the first guy up always has its advantages, though, and Richardson looks like a good fit for the overall move toward more spread looks after the acquisitions of Tavon Austin and Jared Cook. |

A mutation in the yeast mitochondrial core RNA polymerase, Rpo41, confers defects in both specificity factor interaction and promoter utilization.
The yeast mitochondrial RNA polymerase (RNAP) is composed of the core RNAP, Rpo41, and the mitochondrial transcription factor, Mtf1. Both are required for mitochondrial transcription, but how the two proteins interact to create a functional, promoter-selective holoenzyme is still unknown. Rpo41 is similar to the single polypeptide bacteriophage T7RNAP, which does not require additional factors for promoter-selective initiation but whose activity is modulated during infection by association with T7 lysozyme. In this study we used the co-crystal structure of T7RNAP and T7 lysozyme as a model to define a potential Mtf1 interaction surface on Rpo41, making site-directed mutations in Rpo41 at positions predicted to reside at the same location as the T7RNAP/T7 lysozyme interface. We identified Rpo41 mutant E1224A as having reduced interactions with Mtf1 in a two-hybrid assay and a temperature-sensitive petite phenotype in vivo. Although the E1224A mutant has full activity in a non-selective in vitro transcription assay, it is temperature-sensitive for selective transcription from linear DNA templates containing the 14S rRNA, COX2, and tRNAcys mitochondrial promoters. The tRNAcys promoter defect can be rescued by template supercoiling but not by addition of a dinucleotide primer. The fact that mutation of Rpo41 results in selective transcription defects indicates that the core RNAP, like T7RNAP, plays an important role in promoter utilization. |
Q:
Can you use Azure CDN without having to upload the files to Azure storage?
I have a website where I would like to cache the few images/stylesheets/javascript-files I have. Is it possible to have Azure CDN point directly on the files on my server, and then cache them, instead of having to upload them to an Azure storage?
A:
It's not possible. Azure will not allow you to configure arbitrary domain as origin domain to support origin content pull. The only available targets are existing azure website, cloudservice or storage account.

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a blade monitoring system. Specifically, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system for monitoring the health of compressor blades.
Compressors, such as gas turbine compressors, receive inlet air from an air source and compress that air so that it may be later combined with fuel in a combustion chamber. The gas created from combustion of the compressed air and fuel mixture is then used to force rotation of blades within the gas turbine, and correspondingly, perform mechanical work on a shaft coupled to those blades. Over time, portions of the gas turbine compressor may become damaged. Gas turbine compressor blades may become damaged, for example, by particles, foreign objects, and/or corrosive elements in the inlet air, as well as excessive high cycle and low-cycle fatigue during compressor operation. Damage to gas turbine compressor blades may cause inefficiencies in gas turbine operation and/or unwanted vibrations in the compressor. In some cases, compressor blade damage may cause liberation of one or more blades, resulting in catastrophic damage to the compressor. |

Q:
Set of functions parametrized by value
I want to build a set of related functions parametrized by a function variable (the function encapsulates a coordinate transformation). I.e., for some variable:
val transformation : float * float -> float * float
I want to build at runtime a set of functions based on this transformation. Now, in "mainstream" imperative languages, I'd normally go for some kind of object with methods. I know those are possible in OCaml too, but I've also read that in OCaml, it's generally preferable to use modules (i.e., a functor here, I presume).
Should I build an object with methods, or a module (via functor)? And if the latter, how should I code it? I plan to go with object, as I think I'd know how to write it; as to module, I'm confused and not sure if what I want is possible. But I'd love to learn "the better way" if you can help me with it. I want something like:
val make_set_of_functions : (float * float -> float * float) -> 'magic
where 'magic is a module (or object).
TIA!
A:
OCaml provides several mechanisms for generalization and abstraction. Sometimes it is not obvious which one to choose. In that case, I usually suggest to use the most lightweight mechanism available, in other words, do not use a mechanism that gives you more than you need (unless you anticipate that in the future you will need more).
So, you have the following choices:
Functor
Function
Class
Object
Functor
Functors provide the most powerful generalization mechanism. They use module types to specify abstractions and modules as implementations. This comes with a cost of course. Many people find, that functors are syntactically heavy.
module type Coordinates = sig
val transform : (int * int) -> (int * int)
end
module Canvas(Coord : Coordinates) = struct
let draw obj =
let x,y = Coord.transform obj.coords in
...
end
And here is the usage:
module Canvas = Canvas(Minimap)
Canvas.draw world
Function
A module is just a compound data structure, that can contain functions, types, and other modules. When it is compiled, the types and other ephemeral declarations are removed, so the module representation is actually the same as the representation of a record. A functor is actually compiled as a function, parameterized by a record. It looks like, that we're not trying to parametrize our "set of functions" with any types or modules, so we can just use Occam razor, and use a record directly, without module encapsulation, e.g.,
type canvas = {
draw : object -> unit;
...
}
let canvas xform = {
draw = (fun obj -> ... );
...
}
And usage:
let canvas = canvas xform
canvas.draw world
Class
Classes, like modules, also encapsulate several fields into one entity. They can contain methods (i.e., functions) and instance variables. They can't contain types, however. The main difference between classes and modules is that class functions bind to each other not at the compile time, but at runtime (so called late binding). It means, that whenever you call a class method, you're actually not calling a concrete function, but you're invoking a whatever function is currently written in the slot associated with the invoked method. Basically, that means, that a class is a set of mutually recursive functions, that can be mutated during runtime. In other words, the mutual recursion is open, i.e., a user of your class can change the implementation of any method, via the inheritance. Basically, for you, it means, that you can't trust your own methods and that the type of your object is not fixed, but is open. All these together makes reasoning about classes very hard, so if you don't need open recursing, then I would suggest keeping away from classes. To protect the idea of classes, I would like to notice that they are good for implementing AST visitors, interpreters, and other algorithms that work with data structures that are inherently recursive.
So here is the example:
class canvas xform = object
method draw : obj -> unit =
let x,y = xform obj.coords in
...
end
Usage
let canvas = new canvas xform
canvas#draw world
Objects
When you define a class, you're actually defining a blueprint, that describes how to create objects of that type. But in OCaml, it is not required for an object to be derived from a base class, or to be created using a class. For an object to be recognized as an instance of a class it must provide all methods, that are specified in this class (with matching method types of course). In other words, OCaml type system is not nominal, but structural -- if an object has all the methods, and all the types of methods are included in the required type, then the object is of that type. So, when you are expressing something as a class, then you're actually anticipating that someone will inherit your class, and change methods implementation. This puts an extra restriction on your implementation, and types of your methods. So, if you're not anticipating the inheritance, it is better just to use an object (however, if you're not anticipating an inheritance, then why to use classes at all). Here is the syntax example:
let canvas xform = object
method draw : obj -> unit =
let x,y = xform obj.coords in
...
end
Yep, just substitute class with let, and you will create a value, instead of a class. But this substitution will give you a big advantage in your quarrels with the type checker. Here comes the usage example:
let canvas = canvas xform
canvas#draw world
Summary
There are actually other mechanisms, that are more obscure, like using first class modules. But following the Occam razor principle, we will cut them of the posting. Of all the mechanisms, that I've shown so far, I would suggest you either functors or records. If you think, that at some point in time, you will abstract the coordinates representation, then I would suggest using functors. If you want to keep it simple and concrete, then use records. Don't use classes unless your functions are mutually recursive, and you want your users to hook into your methods.

MODEM: a multi-agent hierarchical structure to model the human motor control system.
In this study, based on behavioral and neurophysiological facts, a new hierarchical multi-agent architecture is proposed to model the human motor control system. Performance of the proposed structure is investigated by simulating the control of sit to stand movement. To develop the model, concepts of mixture of experts, modular structure, and some aspects of equilibrium point hypothesis were brought together. We have called this architecture MODularized Experts Model (MODEM). Human motor system is modeled at the joint torque level and the role of the muscles has been embedded in the function of the joint compliance characteristics. The input to the motor system, i.e., the central command, is the reciprocal command. At the lower level, there are several experts to generate the central command to control the task according to the details of the movement. The number of experts depends on the task to be performed. At the higher level, a "gate selector" block selects the suitable subordinate expert considering the context of the task. Each expert consists of a main controller and a predictor as well as several auxiliary modules. The main controller of an expert learns to control the performance of a given task by generating appropriate central commands under given conditions and/or constraints. The auxiliary modules of this expert learn to scrutinize the generated central command by the main controller. Auxiliary modules increase their intervention to correct the central command if the movement error is increased due to an external disturbance. Each auxiliary module acts autonomously and can be interpreted as an agent. Each agent is responsible for one joint and, therefore, the number of the agents of each expert is equal to the number of joints. Our results indicate that this architecture is robust against external disturbances, signal-dependent noise in sensory information, and changes in the environment. We also discuss the neurophysiological and behavioral basis of the proposed model (MODEM). |

[RESOLVED] StructInsert issue (n00b with Structures/Arrays)
Hello, all.
I'm new to working with Structures, and I'm getting an error message. I'm sure it's old-hat to most of you - I'm pretty sure this is a rookie mistake.
I'm trying to loop through form fields; I have hidden fields that contain the original value of displayed fields, to check and see which fields have been updated. For the fields that have a value different than the hidden, I'm adding to a structure for updating a database.
I'm getting the following error message:
You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.Boolean as a structure with members. |
Jeff Kao, a lawyer and data scientist in the San Francisco area who analyzed the e-mails and posted his research online, said that the FCC could have taken steps to weed out bogus comments as online companies such as Amazon and Yelp do. "It's disappointing that the process has been left to be a dumping ground for people with an agenda on the internet," he said. |
Our private investigators utilize numerous surveillance methods to match your specific requirements. Prior to the start of your case, preliminary site reconnaissance is conducted to determine the best course of action. During this initial phase, our private investigators document the surroundings in detail to construct a well-organized and effective surveillance plan. Our investigators are highly trained in covert surveillance to avoid being detected.
We understand that surveillance is not only conducted within the confines of a vehicle. We have implemented alternative techniques in the event the subject travels to a location not accessible by vehicle. Below are the type of surveillances our agency offers.
Fixed Surveillance
The fixed surveillance, or “stakeout,” requires officers to surreptitiously observe people and places from a distance. Variations include the one- and two-person surveillance methods.
Two-Person Surveillance
Tw0-person surveillance methods are more complex to run, but provide two bonuses. Investigators can change positions more often, which greatly reduces the possibility of detection. This technique is also called the ABC Method, whose name refers to the investigators’ assigned roles. Person A stays behind the suspect, followed by the second investigator.
Undercover Operations
Undercover operations amount to another form of surveillance, but in this method the investigator plays an active role in revealing criminal or civil activities. For example, an undercover investigator might begin infiltrating the group by adopting the same hobbies or jobs as the suspects. This is a common practice when dealing with non-compete business related investigations or theft investigations. |
