Many computer-related applications incorporate some level of security to restrict user access. For example, in many applications, it is often necessary that a user of a computer provide a password to log on to a computer and corresponding network. The use of a password provided by a user affords at least some level of protection against intruders that would otherwise tamper with a computer and its contents.
Although the use of a password can be advantageously incorporated in many applications, there are sometimes drawbacks associated with their use. For instance, a user can forget a password if it is not used for an extended period of time. In some cases, a user can forget his or her password after returning from a long vacation.
To make matters worse, some systems require a user to change the password on a periodic basis for heightened security. This only adds to the difficulty of keeping track of a password at any given time. Even if a password is written on a piece of paper for later reference, the paper can be easily lost or destroyed, thwarting its purpose.
A password is also easily replicated to the extent that it can be transferred from one person to another by word of mouth. Thus, if a hacker breaks into a computer system and retrieves a user's password, this key is easily passed on to other vandals who can then tamper with a computer system and its contents. Moreover, a user that is assigned a password can misplace his or her trust in a friend who carelessly reveals a password to others even though it was intended to be kept secret.
These potential drawbacks are particularly disturbing since a corporation's most valuable asset is quite often information accessible by a user logging onto a password-protected computer. |
Q:
Hot to submit a form that was loaded in modal?
After loading a form into modal-body into twitter bootstrap, how do I submit this form using modal primary button?
I don't want to set #id because this primary button have to submit every form loaded.
A:
I will go using a selector like $('#idofmodal .modal-body form').submit()
Obviously you must change this selector according to your markup (or post the markup here so I can change it according to it)

In trauma and many operative cases it is customary to insert a catheter into the bladder very early on to drain the bladder, detect some forms of internal damage, and monitor urinary output, and potentially provides passage for insertion of other instruments. Temperature measurements can be readily made by way of the catheter duct with electronic sensors now available. Internal pressure, intra-abdominal, may need to be monitored in many cases and here also electronic related sensors provide means to monitor pressure by way of the catheter access. The mucosa lining the genito-urinary and gastrointestinal tracts has vascular features that facilitate blood oxygen level determinations. The usual practice involves the use of a light source and a light sensitive sensor, attached to available body areas, that indicates oxygen level in the blood by it's light response characteristics. Externally applied, these systems sometimes become dislodged. Modern light sources and sensors suggest the use of the catheter structure as convenient access for oximeter functions. The vessels of the mucosa pulse with the heartbeat and provide a convenient pulse rate detector with readily available adaptation of the electronic signal processor activity related to the blood oxygen sensor.
The development of miniature sensors and closely related signal carriers invited and was attended by an increase in the number of data gathering functions considered necessary. The apparatus grew smaller but the number increased. The work area became cluttered. Connections of monitoring devices to external instrumentation became more tedious and invited errors. The loss of monitor information at critical points was, and is, dangerous.
There is a need to combine a number of medical data gathering intrusive devices into the envelope of one of those devices deemed necessary so that the effect of only one intrusion is borne by the patient and patient care area. Further, when time is assumed to be vital, the use of a single catheter, capable of a plurality of functions, is of value in terms of time economy and certainty of correct connections. In addition, the security of device placement and the acquisition of reliable data, being critical, is significantly advanced by the combination of these modalities.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide via the catheter apparatus a combination of data gathering functions in one catheter envelope.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a urethral catheter with a built in temperature measuring capability, a built in pressure measuring capability, a built in blood oxygen measuring capability and a built in pulse rate measuring ability, with a balloon near the insertion end of the catheter for anchoring the assembly within the urinary bladder, thus assuring the correct and stable placement of the various monitoring devices.
These and other objects, advantages, and features of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of this specification, including the attached claims and appended drawings. |
If I wanted other authorities for Jarndyce and Jarndyce, I could rain them on these pages, to the shame of—a parsimonious public.
But as it is wholesome that the parsimonious public should know what has been doing, and still is doing, in this connexion, I mention here that everything set forth in these pages concerning the Court of Chancery is substantially true, and within the truth.
There had been, he admitted, a trivial blemish or so in its rate of progress, but this was exaggerated and had been entirely owing to the "parsimony of the public," which guilty public, it appeared, had been until lately bent in the most determined manner on by no means enlarging the number of Chancery judges appointed—I believe by Richard the Second, but any other king will do as well. |
Effects of chronic hypoxia on fetal coronary responses.
This review examines the effect of high altitude and/or chronic hypoxia on cardiac mechanisms that influence perfusion of the fetal heart (e.g., tissue metabolism, coronary vessel growth, and coronary blood flow and vessel responsiveness). In response to intrauterine hypoxia, the fetal heart may either reduce its energy demand or increase its substrate and oxygen delivery as a means of sustaining cardiac function. Cardiac glycolysis predominates as a metabolic pathway of ATP synthesis in the fetal heart under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. During prolonged oxygen insufficiency, normal cardiac function is sustained by anaerobic glycolysis relying primarily on high levels of stored glycogen in the heart. Chronic hypoxia increases coronary vessel growth and myocardial vascularization in fetal hearts, although the response may depend on the presence of ventricular hypertrophy. Recent studies demonstrate that high altitude hypoxia increases both resting fetal coronary flow and coronary flow reserve as an adaptive response toward increasing oxygen delivery. Hypoxia may also directly effect local vascular smooth muscle mechanisms, resulting in altered coronary artery reactivity to circulating vasoactive substances and contributing to enhanced perfusion. Further study is needed to understand the relative importance of each of these cardiac adaptations in contributing to fetal survival. It is likely that differences in fetal coronary responses to intrauterine hypoxia are highly dependent on the gestational age and relative maturity of the animal species. |

So the website I was trying to scrape was rejecting all post requests I would send it (I tried Python, R, and PHP) and I found that I could only load the news articles with an actual browser.
Thanks to @duhaime, I used Selenium to accomplish this. Here is my code:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
# I used Firefox, but you could use Chrome or IE
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.SomeWebsite.com/login')
# I needed to stop the script here to actually login.

Q:
Confusion about 'memoryless' meaning
I am reading the book "Multiple input describng functions and nonlinear system design" written by A.Gelb and W.E.Vander Velde.
At some point it says:
Single-valued characteristics are termed memoryless; multivalued characteristics are said to possess memory.
I am a bit confused about the meaning of the 'memoryless' term. I thought that memoryless meant a function that depends only on the value at that time instant and not at previous instants of time.
What am I missing?
A:
The definition as you quoted it is only correct for static nonlinearities. The output of a static nonlinearity only depends on the input function directly, and not on its integral or derivatives. Otherwise, the nonlinearity is called dynamic (i.e. having memory). A static nonlinearity can also have memory if it is multi-valued, i.e. if there is more than one possible output value for a given input value (e.g. a system with hysteresis). Finally, a static nonlinearity is indeed memoryless if it is single-valued, i.e. if its output is uniquely defined by its input value:
$$y(t) = F(x(t))$$
where $y=F(x)$ is an injective function (i.e. each $x$ is mapped to only one value $y$).
So in sum you have
dynamic nonlinearity: has memory
static nonlinearity
multi-valued: has memory
single-valued: memoryless

A company in Zhengzhou, China’s Henan Province, has caused outrage online after some of its employees were spotted crawling on their hand and knees around a local lake because they couldn’t meet their sales targets!
The shocking corporal punishment was publicised by various local media outlets. According to the reports, at least a dozen people were seen dragging themselves on all fours on a wooden path along the lake. Their clothes were worn out and some of them were bleeding with bruises and scrapes.
When questioned about their unusual behavior, one of them told the reporter that they were being punished by their employer for their poor performance at work. One member of staff was stationed at the lake to make sure everyone finished their prescribed number of laps.
The incident took place last Friday, and photographs of the crawling sales staff were soon posted on Weibo, China’s largest social media website. Thousands of users spoke out against the inhumane treatment of the poor employees. “How can this company ever get stronger with such kind of a policy?” one user questioned. “For starters, the employees wouldn’t follow it with their whole hearts.”
“Where’s the trade union? Where’s the dignity and where’s the bottom line?” another asked.
Many found it strange that the employees complied with the management’s orders instead of refusing to crawl. “The punishment is total humiliation. But I don’t understand these employees. Why crawl just because someone else told you to do so?” a user wrote.
“I think these people can only do what their bosses order them to, because they are afraid of losing their jobs,” another reasoned. “Hope there is a proper solution for them to enjoy some dignity, while not costing them their jobs.”
Ordering employees to crawl on all fours in public is not exactly unheard of in China. Two years ago,the boss of a cosmetics company from Chongqing had his staff crawl in a busy square to test their resistance to pressure.

Review: The mariachi-flavored 'Pulling Strings' a fun little number
"Pulling Strings"
Pantelion Films
Jaime Camil stars in "Pulling Strings."
Jaime Camil stars in "Pulling Strings." (Pantelion Films)
Mark Olsen
Hot on the heels of the surprise success of "Instructions Not Included," which quickly became the all-time highest-grossing Spanish language film in the U.S., comes another movie aimed at the same audience. "Pulling Strings," also being released by "Instructions" distributor Pantelion Films, looks to do potential crossover audiences one better with a story that allows the language to be split between Spanish and English. Serving mostly as a strong calling card for star Jaime Camil, the film has an appealingly loose, slightly ramshackle charm.
The story is set in Mexico City, where Alejandro (Camil) has seen his career as a mariachi singer falter since having to focus more on raising his daughter after losing his wife. He applies for a visa so he and the little one can visit her grandparents across the border but is denied by Rachel (Laura Ramsey), a young U.S. Embassy worker who is about to be transferred to London.
When a chance encounter brings them together again and Rachel loses her boss' diplomatic laptop, Alejandro sees a chance to win her over and gain his visa. It's a flimsy, even nonsensical, premise that nevertheless throws the action in motion so that adventure, romance and a bit of singing can ensue.
The film was directed by Pitipol Ybarra from a script with four credited writers, and in this crosscultural experiment, the least convincing part, oddly, is the portrayal of the crossing of cultures. Ramsey's character understands some Spanish, while wisecracking friend and coworker Carol (Aurora Papile) seems to speak almost none. (Let's hope the actual U.S. foreign service staff in Mexico City does better in that regard.)
This is largely to allow Alejandro's buddy Canicas (Omar Chaparro) to crack wise about the girls in Spanish without them fully understanding him. As wacky sidekicks, Chaparro and Papile have a charged, goofball chemistry that nearly draws away from the main story.
Having Camil's character as a leader of a mariachi band is really a saving grace for the movie, as the occasional breaks for songs allow the film to exist as if in the heightened reality of a movie musical. In the face of Camil's full-on charm offensive, Ramsey comes across as wooden and uncertain. Playing Rachel's mother, Stockard Channing steals every scene she's in because, well, she's Stockard Channing. (About all that need be said of Tom Arnold's performance as a bumbling Embassy administrator is that he is not Stockard Channing.)
Regardless of how it matches up to the box-office numbers of "Instructions," the mariachi-flavored romantic comedy of "Pulling Strings" makes for a fun little number. |

Renal biopsy: methods and interpretation.
Renal biopsy most often is indicated in the management of dogs and cats with glomerular disease or acute renal failure. Renal biopsy can readily be performed in dogs and cats via either percutaneous or surgical methods. Care should be taken to ensure that proper technique is used. When proper technique is employed and patient factors are properly addressed, renal biopsy is a relatively safe procedure that minimally affects renal function. Patients should be monitored during the post biopsy period for severe hemorrhage, the most common complication. Accurate diagnosis of glomerular disease, and therefore, accurate treatment planning,requires that the biopsy specimens not only be evaluated by light microscopy using special stains but by electron and immunofluorescent microscopy. |
# SimpleAggregateFunction {#data-type-simpleaggregatefunction}
`SimpleAggregateFunction(name, types_of_arguments…)` data type stores current value of the aggregate function, and does not store its full state as [`AggregateFunction`](../../sql-reference/data-types/aggregatefunction.md) does. This optimization can be applied to functions for which the following property holds: the result of applying a function `f` to a row set `S1 UNION ALL S2` can be obtained by applying `f` to parts of the row set separately, and then again applying `f` to the results: `f(S1 UNION ALL S2) = f(f(S1) UNION ALL f(S2))`. This property guarantees that partial aggregation results are enough to compute the combined one, so we don’t have to store and process any extra data.
The following aggregate functions are supported:
- [`any`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/any.md#agg_function-any)
- [`anyLast`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/anylast.md#anylastx)
- [`min`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/min.md#agg_function-min)
- [`max`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/max.md#agg_function-max)
- [`sum`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/sum.md#agg_function-sum)
- [`sumWithOverflow`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/sumwithoverflow.md#sumwithoverflowx)
- [`groupBitAnd`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/groupbitand.md#groupbitand)
- [`groupBitOr`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/groupbitor.md#groupbitor)
- [`groupBitXor`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/groupbitxor.md#groupbitxor)
- [`groupArrayArray`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/grouparray.md#agg_function-grouparray)
- [`groupUniqArrayArray`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/groupuniqarray.md)
- [`sumMap`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/summap.md#agg_functions-summap)
- [`minMap`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/minmap.md#agg_functions-minmap)
- [`maxMap`](../../sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/maxmap.md#agg_functions-maxmap)
Values of the `SimpleAggregateFunction(func, Type)` look and stored the same way as `Type`, so you do not need to apply functions with `-Merge`/`-State` suffixes. `SimpleAggregateFunction` has better performance than `AggregateFunction` with same aggregation function.
**Parameters**
- Name of the aggregate function.
- Types of the aggregate function arguments.
**Example**
``` sql
CREATE TABLE t

Navigated minimally invasive facet fusion during percutaneous lumbar pedicle screw insertion: Technical note.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), or percutaneous, lumbar pedicle screw placement is commonly done, but the percutaneous nature of this makes posterior arthrodesis extremely difficult. Many times, surgeons will simply forego posterior arthrodesis, place posterior pedicle screws, and rely only on the interbody area for arthrodesis. We describe our technique of adding facet arthrodesis via the same corridor through which the pedicle screw is inserted with minimal addition of time or steps. We demonstrate our technique of how we use navigation and tubular retractors to perform posterior facet arthrodesis during percutaneous pedicle screw placement. We illustrate this technique with a case of a patient with scoliosis, intraoperative photos, and an illustrative video. We also show an intraoperative computed tomography image to help visualize the arthrodesis surfaces. With this technique, we show how there are a few additional steps that are not very time consuming to add posterior arthrodesis. MIS facet fusion can be performed in a relatively straightforward manner during percutaneous pedicle fixation without significant addition of intraoperative time or steps. It is possible to add posterior arthrodesis to percutaneous lumbar pedicle screw fusion with few added steps and minimal addition of time using navigation and MIS tubular retractors. |

In the marketplace Anxiety Can Hypnotherapy Help Treat?
Hypnotherapy has enjoyed rapid growth over the last times. As it grows in popularity, hypnotherapy is much simpler to access than ever and has been applied to wide range of topics. In this particular article good take a tour of earth of hypnotherapy and operate is previously make flip. We’ll look in the definition of hypnotherapy the actual to expect after you compromise into your hypnotherapist’s comfy couch.
According to Webster’s Dictionary hypnotherapy is psychotherapy that facilitates suggestion, reeducation, or analysis by hypnosis. Hypnosis is looked as a trance state observed as a extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened creativeness.
The aim of hypnotherapy is actually help you obtain more of the items you want, either stopping behaviours, like smoking cessation or weight loss, or starting behaviours like grow to be or stress management. A hypnotherapy session will trigger you to rethink, review and customize way information is stored inside your brain.
A typical hypnotherapy session will gently lull you into an altered state of consciousness. This altered associated with consciousness sounds like being drowsy, or zoned out money-back guarantee feeling will last for the space of the session – usually a session or 90mins. You even now awake but you are so happily involved in what the hypnotherapist says that devote more awareness of the story and less to your immediate views.
This story typically has several parts:
a beginning, called an induction assist you you settle and start to focus your attention, a bridge or deepener, this be beneficial you relax even further, the middle, this a good imaginative story about a sequence of events that changes means you see or experience a behavior, and an end, this refocuses you on your immediate surroundings and returns in order to definitely a normal wide awake state.
The information that makes up the middle part of your story is different from topic to topic. For instance, for are having hypnotherapy for smoking cessation the story might actually cover how fresh, clean air feels good in your lungs, or how a person first were children you breathed fresh air with enthusiasm and felt satisfied. By simply session is related to public speaking skills craze might actually cover how easy it end up being speak with friends at caf and the you speak in public often without any hesitation or fear. The suggestions embedded through a hypnotherapy story lead of which you rethink and change the way information is stored inside your brain. What once was seen as positive and necessary could be seen as outdated and unhelpful, what was seen as frightening and impossible can be seen as effortless and thrilling.
With every new connection comes the for different behavior, lots of people make enough connections through one session to begin new behaviours straight off of. Other people discover gradual change over the weeks following their session or will need more than one session of hypnotherapy to start to make the changes which want.
Overall, hypnotherapy is highly regarded with its wide application and the impressive results it will offer. The common uses of hypnotherapy are smoking cessation and weight loss, so confident a couple of hypnotherapists may guarantee success or your back.
When you begin hypnotherapy you can expect a therapy session to provide you with almost to sleep and to target your attention with a tale full of suggestions. Whenever relax head makes different connections these new connections can bring new behaviours and capabilitys. The real good thing about a hypnotherapy session could be felt previously days or weeks the canadian government used session all of which will literally give you a for you to rethink the person you are and how you do your best. The application of hypnotherapy is continually evolving and will continue to shape how you think about what we have the capability of. Prone to want alter your behaviours, hypnotherapy can be a remarkably relaxing way to do so. |

Basic vapor exposure for tuning the charge state distribution of proteins in negative electrospray ionization: elucidation of mechanisms by fluorescence spectroscopy.
Manipulation for simplifying or increasing the observed charge state distributions of proteins can be highly desirable in mass spectrometry experiments. In the present work, we implemented a vapor introduction technique to an Agilent Jet Stream ESI (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) source. An apparatus was designed to allow for the enrichment of the nitrogen sheath gas with basic vapors. An optical setup, using laser-induced fluorescence and a pH-chromic dye, permits the pH profiling of the droplets as they evaporate in the electrospray plume. Mechanisms of pH droplet modification and its effect on the protein charging phenomenon are elucidated. An important finding is that the enrichment with basic vapors of the nitrogen sheath gas, which surrounds the nebulizer spray, leads to an increase in the spray current. This is attributed to an increase in the electrical conductivity of water-amine enriched solvent at the tip exit. Here, the increased current results in a generation of additional electrolytically produced OH(-) ions and a corresponding increase in the pH at the tip exit. Along the electrospray plume, the pH of the droplets increases due to both droplet evaporation and exposure to basic vapors from the seeded sheath gas. The pH evolution in the ESI plume obtained using pure and basic seeded sheath gas was correlated with the evolution of the charge state distribution observed in mass spectra of proteins, in the negative ion mode. Taking advantage of the Agilent Jet Stream source geometry, similar protein charge state distributions and ion intensities obtained with basic initial solutions, can be obtained using native solution conditions by seeding the heated sheath gas with basic vapors. |

Activation of Mechanosensitive Transient Receptor Potential/Piezo Channels in Odontoblasts Generates Action Potentials in Cocultured Isolectin B4-negative Medium-sized Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons.
Various stimuli to the dentin surface elicit dentinal pain by inducing dentinal fluid movement causing cellular deformation in odontoblasts. Although odontoblasts detect deformation by the activation of mechanosensitive ionic channels, it is still unclear whether odontoblasts are capable of establishing neurotransmission with myelinated A delta (Aδ) neurons. Additionally, it is still unclear whether these neurons evoke action potentials by neurotransmitters from odontoblasts to mediate sensory transduction in dentin. Thus, we investigated evoked inward currents and evoked action potentials form trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons after odontoblast mechanical stimulation. We used patch clamp recordings to identify electrophysiological properties and record evoked responses in TG neurons. We classified TG cells into small-sized and medium-sized neurons. In both types of neurons, we observed voltage-dependent inward currents. The currents from medium-sized neurons showed fast inactivation kinetics. When mechanical stimuli were applied to odontoblasts, evoked inward currents were recorded from medium-sized neurons. Antagonists for the ionotropic adenosine triphosphate receptor (P2X3), transient receptor potential channel subfamilies, and Piezo1 channel significantly inhibited these inward currents. Mechanical stimulation to odontoblasts also generated action potentials in the isolectin B4-negative medium-sized neurons. Action potentials in these isolectin B4-negative medium-sized neurons showed a short duration. Overall, electrophysiological properties of neurons indicate that the TG neurons with recorded evoked responses after odontoblast mechanical stimulation were myelinated Aδ neurons. Odontoblasts established neurotransmission with myelinated Aδ neurons via P2X3 receptor activation. The results also indicated that mechanosensitive TRP/Piezo1 channels were functionally expressed in odontoblasts. The activation of P2X3 receptors induced an action potential in the Aδ neurons, underlying a sensory generation mechanism of dentinal pain. |

Q:
Create a View against an API controller?
I need to create a website where some of it's pages should be accessible from external clients via an API, but I still want to make regular MVC Razor views to retrieve, display and manipulate the same data.
What's the best way to achieve this?
Update
What the API will have to expose is just data manipulation.
For the web pages, I still want to benefit from the razor chtml views, I prefer not polluting my views with redundant jQ or JS nor data- attributes that consume the data.
A:
Just create an MVC project with the pages you want, and then create ApiControllers (from the Web API framework) to serve as RESTful endpoints. You can program your views to retrieve data from the API actions as JSON objects, and consume them with javascript. Other people can hit the same API actions and use the data in some other way.
If you want to start with a WebApi, and build basic views based on the same data that someone else could access via that API, you could inject your WebApi controllers into your normal MVC controllers, and invoke their methods to get the data that you need to build your ViewModels. This should work all right as long as your API controllers don't need to do anything "outside the box" like inspecting the Request object directly.
A more robust method would be to create a "Manager" layer that handles all the business logic of your application, and then have your ApiControllers be nothing but thin wrappers around calls to their respective Manager classes. This would add a little maintenance cost, but it would adhere to the Single Responsibility Principle a little better.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major clinical problem which causes perinatal morbidity and mortality. Although fetuses with IUGR form a heterogeneous group, a major etiological factor is abnormal placentation. Despite the fact that placental development requires the coordinated action of trophoblast proliferation and differentiation, there are few studies on cell cycle regulators, which play the main roles in the coordination of these events. Moreover it is still not determined how mechanisms of coordination of proliferation and differentiation are influenced by dexamethasone-induced IUGR in the placenta. The aim of the study was to investigate the spatial and temporal immunolocalization of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki67, p27 and p57 in normal and IUGR placental development in pregnant Wistar rats. The study demonstrated altered expressions of distinct cell cycle proteins and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) in IUGR placental development compared to control placental development. We found reduced immunostaining of PCNA and Ki67 and increased immunostaining of p27 and p57 in the dexamethasone-induced IUGR placental development compared to control placental development. In conclusion, our data show that the cell populations in the placenta stain for a number of cell cycle related proteins and that these staining patterns change as a function of both gestational age and abnormal placentation. |
Winning in any of those series will get you “recognized”, though I suppose it depends on what your definition of “recognized” is.
The national series are all fairly expensive to enter. That’s why they’re meant for the most serious competitors who feel they have the best chance to win.
WKA is next to dead. If you want top-level competition and to be “the man”, you gotta win at USPKS, SKUSA Pro Tour, Rotax national events, or Florida Winter Tour Rotax.
You shouldn’t start in these events though. These are where the best are racing. You need to work your way up by running local races first, then once you’ve bested everyone there, you move to regional racing, then national racing. Jumping into the deep end will only make the people lapping you really upset.
Unfortunately there isn’t a true licensing system in karting, preventing you from competing above your skill level, though some classes require you to have a minimum amount of experience before allowing you to enter. |

This invention relates generally to capturing biometric data, and more particularly, to methods and systems for capturing biometric data from users during enrollment in authentication systems and during authentication transactions.
Users conduct transactions with many different service providers in person and remotely over the Internet. Network-based transactions conducted over the Internet may involve purchasing items from a merchant web site or accessing confidential information from a website. Service providers that own and operate such websites typically require successfully identifying users before allowing a desired transaction to be conducted.
Users are increasingly using smart devices to conduct such network-based transactions and to conduct network-based biometric authentication transactions. However, some users have difficulty orienting the smart device to capture biometric data usable for generating trustworthy authentication transaction results. For example, some users have been known to position the smart device near their waist when capturing face biometric data. Many users still look downwards even if the device is held somewhere above waist level. Such users typically do not appreciate that differently positioning the smart device should result in capturing better quality biometric data. Consequently, enrolling and authenticating such users desiring to conduct network-based transactions has been known to be an annoying, inconvenient and timely endeavor. |
The Topical Microbicide Safety and Efficacy Evaluation in Nonhuman Primates contract provides preclinical testing (safety and efficacy) of topical microbicides, with or without barrier devices, using nonhuman primate models. All test products, provided by NIAID, will first complete safety evaluation with repeated intravaginal product application. If an acceptable safety profile results from these studies, a product will progress (with NIAID approval) to efficacy studies involving one or more STI. Safety measures include microbiologic and pH assessments and documentation of mucosal tissue responses as evidenced by colposcopic evaluation. Efficacy will be determined by a product's ability to prevent infection by the challenge pathogen. |

Abstract
BALB/c mice infected with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) developed myocarditis. Athymic nu/nu mice infected with the virus did not develop myocarditis, in contrast to heterozygous T-cell competent nu/+mice. MCMV-infected BALB/c mice given cyclosporin A(CsA) a drug which inhibits the activation of T cells, showed a delay in the development of myocarditis relative to CsA-untreated mice infected with MCMV. However, BALB/c mice infected with MCMV, regardless of CsA treatment, developed both anti-MCMV antibodies and autoantibodies. Nu/nu mice infected with MCMV did not produce the anti-MCMV antibody response or the multiple autoantibody response which was observed in nu/+ MCMV-infected mice. Both nu/nu and CsA-treated animals displayed greater organ distribution of viral antigen than control MCMV-infected animals. These results suggest that the presence of a thymus is required for both the development of myocarditis and the multiple autoantibody response, which includes autoantibodies to cardiac muscle, and that CsA immunosuppression does not abrogate either myocarditis or the antibody response in mice following MCMV infection. |
Q:
RSPEC fails, doesn't initialize factory
In my app, project has_many another_project.
I have the following test:
describe 'some test' do
let(:project) { create(:live_project) }
let(:another_project) { create(:another_project, :project => project ) }
# before do
# another_project
# end
it 'does something' do
expect ...
end
end
It fails unless the commented code runs.
This seems strange because the line with another_project doesn't do anything. It seems as if the factory isn't properly initialized until something points to it.
What could be the issue that makes it fail/work with/without those commented lines?
A:
It seems as if the factory isn't being properly initialised until something points to it.
That's a feature. Lazy initialization, it's called. If a thing is not used, why do the work of creating it?
Either use a let! instead of let, for things you want to always be created. Or create them in a before block.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma sparing resolving dermatomal herpes zoster lesions: an unusual phenomenon and implications for pathophysiology.
Exclusion of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) by another dermatosis has not been reported. The mechanism for the epidermotropism of helper T lymphocytes in this indolent malignancy is not known. Although there is evidence that Langerhans cells (LC) play a role in the epidermotropism of lymphocytes in CTCL, clinical or in vivo support is lacking. We describe a patient with CTCL who developed herpes zoster involving the left T8 dermatome. When his CTCL became widespread after the herpes zoster healed, the previously affected areas of herpes zoster and their periphery were clinically free of lymphoma. Immunohistochemical analysis of a clinically uninvolved patch revealed absence of CD1a(+) cells in the epidermis, consistent with loss of LC in the areas spared by CTCL. There was no loss of LC in areas affected by CTCL. This is an unusual inhibition of CTCL by a prior viral infection. The loss of LC in the clinically spared skin suggests a role for LC in the epidermotropism of lymphocytes in CTCL. |
Q:
How to make a Vmware virtual machine if you have a vmdk file
I just got a vmdk file from a Windows Xp hot cloned system which i want to run on vmplayer. How can i generate the .vmx file ? I'm on Windows XP sp3
A:
I have used EasyVMX in the past.
If you have a vmx file then you can just copy it and edit it in notepad or similar - some of the options are obvious but others need a bit of work to find out what is allowable.
(So if you accept the default name for the hard disk, it is easy to change the name of the disk file to your existing file.)

As the weather gets colder, we’re all bundling up with new sweaters from grandma. They may be a little dorky looking, and they’re almost certainly itchy…but they keep us warm! And that’s the main point, right?
But while people are lucky to have such warm clothes, our animal friends have to make do with their birthday suits. While cats and dogs might not mind, we feel awfully sorry for our poor reptilian friends, like tortoises and lizards. We bet they wish they had some nice fluffy sweaters to snuggle up in this winter…
While cats and dogs remain the undisputed kings of the pet world, turtles and tortoises refuse to be outdone, and are steadily climbing the ranks.
With their cute little eyes and the way they stand proudly in the sunshine like those majestic statues often found outside shrines, there’s no denying that tortoises and turtles have a magical charm all of their own.
And this little fella, it would seem, has been especially blessed… Read More |
For an indelible experience, stick your nose in a bottle of fish sauce—the whiff of fermented fish isn’t one you’re likely to forget. But don’t let the odor scare you. Known as nam pla (nahm PLAH) in Thailand, and nuoc nam (noo-AHK NAHM) in Vietnam, fish sauce is as crucial to the cuisine of Southeast Asia as soy sauce is to Chinese, responsible for the haunting salty flavors of dishes like Pad Thai.
Fish sauce is made by fermenting small, whole fish in vats of salty brine, drawing off the liquid, then aging it to the desired mellowness. The concept isn’t exclusive to Southeast Asia. Ancient Romans produced a similar condiment called garum—in southern Spain, ruins of garum factories date back to the Roman Empire. In a further historical twist, the condiment that reigns over every burger joint in America traces its roots to fish sauce. The word “ketchup” comes from the Chinese kêtsaip, a fish sauce that Dutch traders introduced to the West and which later inspired the tomato-based derivative.
Experiment with fish sauce by swapping it for soy sauce, but go easy as a little goes a long way. Create an Asian dipping sauce by mixing fish sauce with red pepper flakes and lime juice, or make an Asian-style broth by seasoning chicken stock with ginger, garlic and fish sauce. Fish sauce is an easy way to create umami, that sought-after savory “fifth taste,” and some cooks keep it by the stove, adding just a drop or two to bring a subtle depth to all-American gravies, stews and soups. |

About Liver Cancer Treatment
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
Liver Cancer
Liver cancer appropriately referred to as primary liver cancer is cancer resulting from cancerous cells in the liver. The liver serves to filter blood, create bile, to store and releasing sugars among other functions. Cancer from other organs can spread to the liver via blood circulation resulting in metastatic cancer. The liver is composed of many cells, which gives rise to different types of tumors, where some are noncancerous, and others are cancerous. The most common form of cancer from the liver is the hepatocellular carcinoma.
Signs and symptoms
Swelling or pain in the abdomen
Loss of appetite
Vomiting
Yellowing of the eye whites’ and the skin a condition known as jaundice
Liver cancer if detected early is treatable, hence the need to visit a doctor regularly for diagnosis. The procedure adopted depends on the stage of the liver cancer.
Surgery
This involves the treatment of the liver cancer through surgical means. Unfortunately, many people do not qualify for surgery due to the existence of other liver conditions. In other cases, cancer from the liver easily spreads through the body due to the purification process of blood. Therefore, treating the liver through surgical means could lead to eliminating the problem partially to reoccur later. However, in the present times, surgical methods have improved, and survival rates have improved tremendously.
A surgical process will use a general anesthesia and follow-up medications.
Anesthesia : A surgical process will use general anesthesia
Risks : Excessive bleeding, infection of the lung after surgery, Liver failure, Rejection of the liver by your body, the liver failing to work immediately necessitating another transplant, Loss of kidney function, Damage to the liver, Nausea, Fever, Fatigue, Pain, Loss of appetite, Mouth sores |

The present invention relates to a vehicle seat assembly with an integral child seat and in particular to such a seat assembly with features that provide for easier assembly as well as easier operation of the child seat than many integral child seats on the market today.
Integral child seat assemblies must necessarily include restraint systems for holding a child occupant therein. These restraint systems may or may not include a seat belt retractor. Those systems that do include a seat belt retractor typically mount the retractor directly to the vehicle floor pan resulting in an additional attachment point to the vehicle structure. This necessitates a modification to the vehicle structure to accommodate a seat back having the integral child seat option. The seat back of the present invention includes a retractor mounted to the seat back rather than to the vehicle. The seat back can use the same attachment points to the motor vehicle as a seat back not including an integral child seat. As a result, no modification to the vehicle structure is necessitated when the integral child seat option is selected.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the child seat belt retractor or retractors are mounted within the rotatable child seat cushion. This is preferred in that the packaging space provided in the child seat cushion for the retractor is greater than the space provided in the seat back portion of the child seat.
The child seat is comprised of a single rotating panel mounted at the base of the seat back and stored within a recess in the seat back. In the stored position, one face surface of the child seat panel forms an adult seat back surface. Deployment of the child seat is accomplished by rotating the child seat panel forward until the face surface of the child seat panel rests upon the seat cushion surface forward of the seat back. When the panel has been forwardly rotated, a recess in the seat back is revealed forming a child seat back surface rearward of the adult seat back surface of the seat back. By utilizing a single panel forming the child seat cushion, deployment is accomplished by one operation, rotation of one panel forward. The child seating surface of the child seat panel is provided with a rear portion upon which the buttocks of a child are seated and a forward portion forming a footrest for the child occupant. The footrest is preferably recessed relative to the rear seating surface.
In one embodiment of the invention, the child seat panel is provided with a secondary folding member which is rotatably mounted to the child seat panel and can be rotated from the front surface of the child seat panel. This folding member can be in the form of a storage bin, cup holder or an arm rest for use by adult seat occupants when the child seat panel is in its upright stowed position.
Further objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following description and the appended claims when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. |

Neutron- and photon-activation detection limits in breast milk analysis for prospective dose evaluation of the suckling infant.
Complex situations related to the environment, as in the regions affected by the Chernobyl accident and regions in which nuclear weapons testing were undertaken, as in Semipalatinsk, could be reflected in the trace element content in mothers' milk. The evaluation of fractional transfer to milk of ingested or inhaled activity and of the corresponding dose coefficients for the infant, following a mothers' radioactive intake, can take advantage from wide-ranging studies of elemental and radionuclide contents in mothers' milk. In this work the possibility to determine elements, such as Ru, Zr, Nb, Te, Ce, Th, U, in milk powder has been investigated. Although results from elemental analyses of breast milk are to be found in the literature, the determination of the identified elements has attracted poor attention since they are not considered essential elements from a biological point of view. Nevertheless, in the case of radioactive releases to the environment, such data could be of interest in evaluation of dose to the breast-fed infant. |
Introduction
I've implemented a couple Unix core utilities in Haskell, and want to start a series of posts going through the details - starting with simple programs like cat , seq , and which , and then moving on towards more featureful programs like uniq , tr and maybe grep .
So, let's implement cat in Haskell!
Background
cat is conceptually simple; it concatenates a series of files. It doesn't accept any flags, and has only a little dynamic behavior - if there aren't any files provided from the command line, it reads from stdin . If a series of files are provided and there's an error reading one of them, it's reported but the rest of the files are processed. cat exits with failure if there were any problems.
Module and Imports
The top of the file contains the module definition and imports. Since this is going to be an executable, not a library, we use module Main where . We'll skip going through the imports for now, but reference them as we move through the file. To follow along with the examples, you can put this header in a file and load it from ghci with :load cat.hs .
module Main where -- cat -- -- read files from the command line or echo stdin -- soldiers on when some files do not exist, but reports failure at the end import Control.Exception ( IOException , try ) import Control.Monad ( when ) import Data.Either ( isLeft ) import System.Environment ( getArgs ) import System.Exit ( exitFailure ) import System.IO ( hPutStrLn , stderr )
Data Flow
Before jumping in to find some functions that can read and print file content, let's think about the 'flow' of execution for cat . It takes arguments, attempts to convert those into file names, extracts the file content, then prints it. What about errors? Conceptually, we can think of each argument turning into either file content, or an error. Either way, we print out the content or error at the end.
When we're done, we should have something like this:
main :: IO () main = getArgs >>= collect >>= display
Haskell has a great builtin data type for this situation: Either . Translating our conceptual view of cat to Haskell looks something like this.
type Argument = String type FileContent = String collect :: [ Argument ] -> IO [ Either IOException FileContent ] collect = undefined display :: [ Either IOException FileContent ] -> IO () display = undefined
Collect
We can fill in the undefined for collect with some of the imports from before. How are we going to turn a file name into an IOException or FileContent? Let's build it from the bottom up. To read a file, we need readFile
> : t readFile readFile :: FilePath -> IO String
The problem is that readFile throws an IOException on failure. try allows us to capture the exception for handling. This is conceptually what we want; either the result of readFile , or the exception it threw.
> : t try try :: GHC . Exception . Exception e => IO a -> IO ( Either e a ) > : t try . readFile try . readFile :: GHC . Exception . Exception e => FilePath -> IO ( Either e String )
To apply these to each argument, we can use mapM , which is like map , but works on a sequence of Monad m items. It has a pretty abstract type signature, but a type check shows that it's doing what we want.
> : t mapM mapM :: ( Traversable t , Monad m ) => ( a -> m b ) -> t a -> m ( t b ) > : t mapM ( try . readFile ) mapM ( try . readFile ) :: ( Traversable t , GHC . Exception . Exception e ) => t FilePath -> IO ( t ( Either e String ))
Putting it all together, we can define collect as
collect :: [ Argument ] -> IO [ Either IOException FileContent ] collect = mapM ( try . readFile )
Stdin
What if we're not given any arguments? We need to read from stdin . This case is a bit simpler, since there isn't any reasonable possibility for an error. We can ignore the input (since there isn't any!) and get the content from stdin and print it out. getContents from the Prelude does just what we want. It reads from stdin until EOF, and returns an IO String . We'll use putStr instead of putStrLn , since the input will already have a newline.
display :: [ Either IOException FileContent ] -> IO () display [] = getContents >>= putStr
Files
The other case is when we do have some 'Error or FileContent' to work with. We want to print the error or file content either way, but errors should go to stderr , not stdout . At the end, if there were any errors, we want to set the exit code appropriately.
Our printing function needs to handle both possibilities:
toConsole ( Left exception ) = hPutStrLn stderr $ show exception toConsole ( Right content ) = putStr content
And display will apply it to each argument, and handle exiting correctly. any isLeft files is doing the work of answering "were there any exceptions?".
display :: [ Either IOException FileContent ] -> IO () display files = do mapM_ toConsole files when ( any isLeft files ) exitFailure
Main
How do we tie everything together? If we think back to the high level data flow at the beginning, we describe that exactly in Haskell for our main function.
main :: IO () main = getArgs >>= collect >>= display
Full implementation
Here's the full source. You can also find it here.
module Main where -- cat -- -- read files from the command line or echo stdin -- soldiers on when some files do not exist, but reports failure at the end import Control.Exception ( IOException , try ) import Control.Monad ( when ) import Data.Either ( isLeft ) import System.Environment ( getArgs ) import System.Exit ( exitFailure ) import System.IO ( hPutStrLn , stderr ) type Argument = String type FileContent = String collect :: [ Argument ] -> IO [ Either IOException FileContent ] collect = mapM ( try . readFile ) display :: [ Either IOException FileContent ] -> IO () display [] = getContents >>= putStr display files = do mapM_ toConsole files when ( any isLeft files ) exitFailure where toConsole ( Left exception ) = hPutStrLn stderr $ show exception toConsole ( Right content ) = putStr content main :: IO () main = getArgs >>= collect >>= display

In her most excellent trolling of Donald Trump and the reactionary tendency he represents the High Priestess of Tinsel Town, Meryl Streep, showed her own haughty disdain for a significant chunk of American society, the sporting community.
Her Golden Globes address hit so many top notes the high-handed dismissal of football (American) and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) jarred, revealing a casual prejudice not only against the sports identified but those who like to watch them.
Given the popularity of gridiron, the most viewed sport in America, that is an almost Trump-like disregard for the legitimate interests of those she doesn’t understand. It also flagged the kind of detached, contemptuous attitude of the elites towards blue collar America that allowed Trump through the White House door in the first place.
Soaring Moral Abhorrence
“So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if you kick ’em all out, you’ll have nothing else to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts,” said La Streep.
It was a fine speech, full of soaring moral abhorrence of the monstrous Trump, and who in their right mind does not feel that? But why empty her bladder on sport as if it were some kind of swamp activity for unthinking nomarks.
Let me tell you, Meryl, there is no escape route in your country that is more inclusive than gridiron, that has given the disenfranchised and marginalised black American a shot at the privileged existence you enjoy.
I’m sorry the participants and many of those they engage so powerfully are not members of book clubs, regular theatre goers or fine art aficionados. This ghastly rabble, or ‘deplorables’ as one member of America’s political elite once described them, are welcome enough, no doubt, when they turn up at a cinema with their sugary drinks and popcorn to help fill your coffers. But then they stop where the red carpet starts.
Luvvie Love-in Season
Maybe I’m a little oversensitive, groaning at the start of the annual luvvie love-in season, when the great and the good of the performing arts spread their peacock feathers on the highest stage and pontificate downwards to the great unwashed.
I mean, the cheek of it, this put-upon constituency of troubadours grouping themselves with Trump’s foreigners and the Press as the most vilified in society. Meryl was borrowing from Hugh Laurie of House fame, with that reference, a man who learned all he knows about life in the margins while slumming it at Eton and Cambridge. We’ll be sending food parcels next to Malibu and Beverly Hills, the poor little darlings.
The other contradiction in Streep’s condescension toward the jocks of this world is how well Hollywood has done out of the sport genre. Most of those applauding Meryl in the LA audience think Rocky Balboa is the most famous fighter to come out of Philadelphia.
Pioneering Souls
Indeed the steps leading up to the Museum of Art are among the city’s most famous landmarks, not as a result of any exhibits inside but because Sylvester Stallone galloped up and down them in his sweatpants.
Sport address issues, too, and importantly at grassroots level led by pioneering souls who earn not a bean for their contribution.
So when the great Meryl is up on that stage amplifying the magnificent work actors do in “entering the lives of people who are different from us, and let you feel what that feels like…breathtaking, compassionate work,” it is worth noting that there are thousands of volunteers with a whistle in their hands teaching kids how to be good citizens through engagement in sport.
The difference is they aren’t given a platform to project their values and their worth to the world. They just get on with it. Yes, you are right, Meryl, that’s not art, it’s life. And in many cases, a life saver.

Cognitive and neural determinants of response strategy in the dual-solution plus-maze task.
Response strategy in the dual-solution plus maze is regarded as a form of stimulus-response learning. In this study, by using an outcome devaluation procedure, we show that it can be based on both action-outcome and stimulus-response habit learning, depending on the amount of training that the animals receive. Furthermore, we show that deactivation of the dorso-medial and the dorso-lateral striatum with Botulinum neurotoxin A, mimicked or abolished, respectively, the effects of practice on the sensitivity of the response strategy to outcome devaluation. These findings have relevant implications for the understanding of the learning mechanisms underlying different overt behaviors in this widely used maze task. |
Variation in lethality and effects of two Australian chirodropid jellyfish venoms in fish.
The North Queensland chirodropid box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri and Chiropsalmus sp. share similar nematocyst composition and the same prey of Acetes australis shrimps in their early medusa stages; however, as C. fleckeri individuals reach larger size, the animals add fish to their diet and their complement of nematocyst types changes, allowing larger doses of venom to be delivered to prey. This study demonstrated that the venoms of the two species differ as well: despite similar effects previously documented in crustacean prey models, the two had widely different cardiac and lethal effects in fish, with C. fleckeri being substantially more potent in its ability to cause death. Comparisons between the venom delivery abilities of the two species showed that the change in nematocysts of C. fleckeri cannot alone account for its ontogenetic shift to prey fish; instead, its prey ecology clearly necessitates it having venom capable of acting efficiently to cause death in fish. Although this venom is almost certainly produced at greater metabolic cost to the animal than the less-lethal venom of Chiropsalmus sp., owing to its greater molecular protein complexity, it confers the advantage of increased caloric intake from fish prey, facilitating larger size and potentially greater reproductive output of C. fleckeri over Chiropsalmus sp. |

However, there is a shortage of medical entomologists worldwide, and there are large discrepancies in capacity building in this field. In this article, we discuss the current situation, what is needed from the medical entomologist of today, and how we can bridge this gap. |
Q:
How do I optimize this logic?
I have following scenario:-
if( condition1 == true )
{
/*
a code block or fuction call
*/
}
else
{
if( condition2 == true )
{
/*
same code block or function call
*/
}
}
Here, a particular block of code has to be executed if a condition1 is true.
Else if condition1 is false but if condition2 is true, then also same block of code has to be executed.
How can I write this logic in an efficient way so as to not write same block twice, or call same fuction twice.
A:
With a simple logical OR (very basic stuff for any language).
if(condition1 || condition2) {
// Code
}
Using == (or !=) is often discouraged, since adds verbosity needlessly. Writing condition1 is the same as condition1 == true and testing for false can be made with !condition1 (the logical NOT operator).

Multiple access schemes are employed by modern radio systems to allow multiple users to share a limited amount of bandwidth, while maintaining acceptable system performance. Common multiple access schemes include Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). System performance is also aided by error control codes. Nearly all communications systems rely on some form of error control for managing errors that may occur due to noise and other factors during transmission of information through a communication channel. These communications systems can include satellite systems, fiber-optic systems, cellular systems, and radio and television broadcasting systems. Efficient error control schemes implemented at the transmitting end of these communications systems have the capacity to enable the transmission of data including audio, video, text, etc., with very low error rates within a given signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment. Powerful error control schemes also enable a communication system to achieve target error performance rates in environments with very low SNR, such as in satellite and other wireless systems where noise is prevalent and high levels of transmission power are costly, if even feasible.
Interleave Division Multiple Access (IDMA) is a multiple access technique where different users that share the same bandwidth and time slots are separated by user specific interleavers. As the bandwidth and power become scarce to support the ever increasing throughput requirements, more complex but more efficient techniques play more important roles in future communication systems. IDMA is an effective technique that trades extra receiver complexity with bandwidth and power savings. On the other hand, in systems where the number of users is high and the block size is large, storage of a high number of long interleavers may be undesirable. Scrambled Coded Multiple Access (SCMA) addresses this complexity by using a single scrambling sequence with different shift factors for different users without any performance penalty. With SCMA, the user specific interleavers of IDMA are replaced with user specific scrambler sequences. While there is no noticeable performance difference between the two approaches, generation and implementation of scrambler sequences is significantly simpler. In fact, the same scrambler sequence with different rotation factors can be used for different users with no impact on performance, which further reduces receiver complexity. With SCMA, therefore, all of the benefits of IDMA are achieved with reduced complexity.
Similar to IDMA or random waveform Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), SCMA is a non-orthogonal multiple access technique. While orthogonal multiple access schemes such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) or Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) are implicitly too restrictive to achieve theoretical limits in fading channels, non-orthogonal CDMA, IDMA or SCMA have the potential of achieving these limits. Further, as discussed above FEC coding is typically used to improve the performance. The main difference between CDMA and SCMA is that, while in CDMA different users are separated with different signature sequences with a spreading factor greater than one, in SCMA even a spreading factor of one would be enough to detect overlapped users based on user specific scrambler sequences and iterative multiuser cancellation with FEC decoding. As a result, the available bandwidth can be used for very low rate coding which gives SCMA extra coding gain that is not available in CDMA. Actually it is also possible to use SCMA with a spreading factor greater than one. Another benefit of the iterative receiver structure of SCMA is that the system performance actually improves with power variations among the users, which eliminates the need of power control, an important requirement of traditional CDMA.
At the receiver, iterative multiuser detection or interference cancellation followed by decoding is performed to approach maximum likelihood (ML) receiver performance without excessive complexity. But for coded CDMA systems, even this iterative receiver may lead to complicated algorithms especially when the number of users is large. Typically with CDMA, the complexity of multiuser detection or soft interference cancellation algorithms grows in polynomial form with the number of users/user terminals. On the other hand, similar to IDMA, SCMA lends itself to a simple chip by chip detection algorithm whose total complexity grows only linearly with the number of users. Further, uncoded SCMA systems perform at least as well as and usually better than uncoded CDMA, and the performance gap between the two classes of schemes grows bigger for heavily loaded systems.
Further, in conventional burst mode communication systems, a transmitter transmits burst mode signals at a certain frequency, phase and timing, which is received by a receiver through a communication channel. In conventional burst mode communication systems, it is necessary to quickly estimate various parameters of the received bursts as they arrive. These parameters include detection of the presence of a burst (start time), frequency, initial phase, timing and amplitude. In typical burst transmission systems, a unique word is used to facilitate the identification of the beginning of a transmitted burst and the determination of phase offset, by the receiver. The term “Unique Word” (UW) refers to a known, pre-determined pattern (known a priori to the receiver) that is transmitted at the beginning of each burst, whereby the receiver detects the UW and synchronizes with the received bursts (i.e., the receiver estimates the burst parameters based on the detected UW). For classical TDMA systems, the same UW is used by all of the terminals.
While the complexity of SCMA grows only linearly with the number of users, however, with larger systems (e.g., having upwards of tens or hundreds of thousands of user terminals), SCMA system implementations can become relatively complex with each user/user terminal having a distinct scrambling signature. What is needed, therefore, is an approach for an SCMA system that scales more efficiently, and in a relatively less complex manner, to support a relatively large number of users/user terminals.
Some Example Embodiments
Embodiments of the present invention advantageously address the foregoing requirements and needs, as well as others, by providing an approach for an SCMA system that scales more efficiently in a relatively less complex manner, whereby individual terminals utilize respective assigned unique words and the receiver correlates received signal bursts against these UWs, which supports larger numbers of users/user terminals.
Example embodiments of the present invention provide a new SCMA multiple access approach that facilitates random access to a communications channel by a network of terminals in an efficient manner without prior coordination. In accordance with such example embodiments, unique words are respectively assigned to individual terminals, and each terminal utilizes its assigned UW for each transmitted burst. At the receiver side, a receiver correlates the received signal bursts against these UWs to determine whether one or more terminals is accessing the channel and the number of terminals accessing the channel (assuming there is at least one), to identify the scrambling signature or initial vector each such terminal is utilizing to access the channel, and to synchronize with (e.g., determine the timing and phase of) each individual received modulated signal for proper demodulation and decoding. By way of example, a moderately sized set of UWs is assigned to the terminal population, where each different UW is associated with a respective scrambling signature (or, in the case of the use of the same scrambling signature with a different seed or initial vector, each different UW is associated with a respective initial vector) for the scrambler. Accordingly, a receiver separates overlapping transmissions from multiple terminals at the same frequency and the same time slot, based on a UW correlation process employed to detect the transmitted UWs in parallel and thereby identify the number of terminals accessing the channel and the scrambling signature/initial vector of each such terminal, and to synchronize with each individual received modulated signal for proper demodulation and decoding.
In accordance with example embodiments, a communications terminal comprises and encoder, a scrambler and a modulator. The encoder is configured to encode a source digital data signal to generate an encoded signal, wherein the source digital data signal comprises a source bit stream. The scrambler is configured to scramble the encoded signal based on a scrambling signature. The modulator is configured to modulate a received sequence of data frames to generate a transmission signal for transmission via a random access channel of a wireless communications system, wherein each data frame comprises a data payload, which includes a block of the scrambled encoded signal, and a frame header, which includes a start of frame (SOF) sequence associated with the scrambling signature. The use of the SOF sequence for each frame of the sequence of data frames provides a reference for synchronization on frame boundaries and serves to designate use of the associated scrambling signature for descrambling and decoding the respective data payload of the frame. The use of the SOF sequence for each frame of the sequence of data frames serves to distinguish between the data frame and at least one data frame originating from a further communications terminal, transmitted via a common time slot of the random access channel, for which a different scrambling signature was used to scramble a respective encoded signal thereof.
In accordance with further example embodiments, a multiple access communications scheme is provided. A source digital data signal is encodes to generate an encoded signal, wherein the source digital data signal comprises a source bit stream. The encoded signal is scrambled based on a scrambling signature. A received sequence of data frames is modulated to generate a transmission signal for transmission by a communications terminal via a random access channel of a wireless communications system, wherein each data frame comprises a data payload, which includes a block of the scrambled encoded signal, and a frame header, which includes a start of frame (SOF) sequence associated with the scrambling signature. The use of the SOF sequence for each frame of the sequence of data frames provides a reference for synchronization on frame boundaries and serves to designate use of the associated scrambling signature for descrambling and decoding the respective data payload of the frame. The use of the SOF sequence for each frame of the sequence of data frames serves to distinguish between the data frame and at least one data frame originating from a further communications terminal, transmitted via a common time slot of the random access channel, for which a different scrambling signature was used to scramble a respective encoded signal thereof.
In accordance with example embodiments, a further multiple access communications scheme is provided. A transmitted signal is received via a random access channel of a wireless communications network, wherein the transmitted signal originated from a first communications terminal. A first start of frame (SOF) sequence of the transmitted signal is identified, and synchronization is attained on a frame boundary of a first data frame associated with the first SOF sequence. A first scrambling signature is determined based on the identified SOF sequence, and the first data frame is decoded using the determined scrambling signature. The first SOF sequence serves to distinguish between the respective data frame and at least one data frame originating from a further communications terminal, transmitted via a common time slot of the random access channel, for which a different scrambling signature was used to scramble a respective encoded signal thereof.
In accordance with example embodiments, a system comprises a first communications terminal and a second communications terminal. The first communications terminal comprises a first encoder, a first scrambler and a first modulator. The first encoder is configured to encode a first source digital data signal to generate a first encoded signal, wherein the first source digital data signal comprises a first bit stream. The first scrambler is configured to scramble the first encoded signal based on a first scrambling signature. The first modulator is configured to modulate a received first sequence of data frames to generate a first transmission signal for transmission via a random access channel of a wireless communications system, wherein each data frame comprises a data payload, which includes a block of the scrambled first encoded signal, and a frame header, which includes a first start of frame (SOF) sequence associated with the first scrambling signature. The second communications terminal comprises a second encoder, a second scrambler and a second modulator. The second encoder is configured to encode a second source digital data signal to generate a second encoded signal, wherein the second source digital data signal comprises a second bit stream. The second scrambler is configured to scramble the second encoded signal based on a second scrambling signature. The second modulator is configured to modulate a received second sequence of data frames to generate a second transmission signal for transmission via the random access channel of the wireless communications system, wherein each data frame comprises a data payload, which includes a block of the scrambled second encoded signal, and a frame header, which includes a second start of frame (SOF) sequence associated with the second scrambling signature. The use of the first SOF sequence for each frame of the first sequence of data frames provides a reference for synchronization on frame boundaries and serves to designate use of the first scrambling signature for descrambling and decoding the respective data payload of the frame, and the use of the second SOF sequence for each frame of the second sequence of data frames a reference for synchronization on frame boundaries and serves to designate use of the second scrambling signature for descrambling and decoding the respective data payload of the frame, even where at least one frame of the first sequence of data frames and at least one frame of the second sequence of data frames are received in a common time slot of the random access channel.

The iso-algorithm is an innovative blend of established theorems from both the investment and actuarial fields. ‘iso’ stands for isomorphic-stochastic optimization.
Taking price information as its input, the iso-algorithm neither assumes normality nor non-normality exclusively, but seeks to profit from both instances of normality and non-normality which can occur in the same stock over different periods.
A key assumption is that non-normality is the resultant mixed effect of normal distributions in other domains. As such, the iso-algorithm processes price behavior in a non-time domain, optimizes the selected portfolio, then converts back to a time series for trade execution.
A strength of the system lies in the fact that it is able to identify opportunities in any market using key characteristics of price behavior. |

This invention relates, in general, to a fluid compressor, and, more particularly, to a compressor having an improved inlet valve arrangement.
Most current reciprocating compressor cylinders utilize a piston that reciprocates in a compressor cylinder formed in a frame with outer heads used to close off the ends of the cylinder. Inlet and discharge xe2x80x9ccheck typexe2x80x9d valves are provided for controlling the intake into, and the discharge from, the cylinder, and the reciprocating piston compresses the fluid internally within the compressor cylinder confines. The valves can be mounted tangentially to the bore of the cylinder or in the heads at a variety of angles to the axis of the piston.
However half the available area is usually allocated to the inlet valves and porting, and the other half to the discharge valves and porting. Thus, only a relatively low number of inlet valves can be used at each end of the compressor. This, of course, limits the inlet valve area and therefore the compression efficiency of the compressor. |
This application relates to the art of valves and, more particularly, to valves of the type that are pressure imbalanced in the closed direction. The invention is particularly applicable for use in bubbler valves for drinking fountains and will be described with specific reference thereto. However, it will be appreciated that the invention has broader aspects and can be used for controlling flow of liquids in other environments.
Excessive water line pressure can cause a water stream from a bubbler valve on a drinking fountain to overshoot the drain pan and cause damage. It would be desirable to have a bubbler valve that would maintain a substantially uniform flow of water over a wide range of inlet pressures. |

Q:
How to display a part of a shape in Orchard CMS
in the Layout.cshtml file in own created admin theme for orchard that it contains the below code for display admin UI's header:
@if (Model.Header != null) {
<div id="header" role="banner">
@Zone(Model.Header)
</div>
}
Considering that the Model.Header contains two part for display: User.cshtml and Header.cshtml. now what i want to do is to perevent display the header, and in other word i want to display just User.cshtml part existing in Model.Header shape.
A:
Bertrand's answer is spot on for a front-end theme but as you are referring to a custom admin theme I took at look at Layout.cshtml in TheAdmin.
Just before the snippet you posted there are the following lines which build up the header and footer zones:
Model.Header.Add(Display.Header());
Model.Header.Add(Display.User(CurrentUser: WorkContext.CurrentUser));
Model.Footer.Add(Display.OrchardVersion());
Remove the first line and the header zone will just contain the User shape.

Q:
Why did Mike leave?
I don't think Mike's character should have vanished like what the creator showed in Suits. While it is true that Meghan Markle is now Duchess of Sussex and probably can't work (or something), the audience truly loved Mike individually.
There could have been a replacement of Rachel, or a dramatic break-up, maybe. The audience would have gulped the heart-breaking news like that. But simply erasing Mike was not really good.
Now if we logically think, when you move to another city, you don't totally vanish like that. Especially with the expertise of Mike Ross.
Did the creators really have to let go of Mike because of Rachel? I don't think his character was so dependent on hers. Or, was there other reason?
A:
In this interview in the Hollywood Reporter, Patrick J. Adams, who plays Mike Ross, explains that he chose to leave the show because he believed Mike Ross' story had nowhere else to go:
As we were starting to talk about renegotiating contracts [for season eight and beyond], I took a moment. Everybody was going full steam ahead and I stopped and said, "We need to think about this because this is more of my time and more of my life — and what’s the story left to tell?" [...] I had this voice in my head that said that we've told his story and if he hangs out longer, Mike is just going to be another lawyer on television. That didn’t feel right for him.
Whether you agree with him is another matter entirely, but that is why he left.
As far as I cam tell, Meghan Markle's own departure from the show had nothing to do with Adams' departure. It was just convenient timing for the writers, as it allowed them to write them both out at the same time.
For the record, Adams has not ruled out returning to the show in future, even if it's just a one-off:
I’ve said my goodbyes to Mike and to Suits, but I never close any door. When the time comes, if it felt like [returning] was the right thing to do, I’d definitely be open to it. [...] If it felt like it was the appropriate thing to bring Mike back for a big goodbye, then that’s something I could be open to.

Interactions between DNA and Gemini surfactant: impact on gene therapy: part I.
Nonviral gene therapy using gemini surfactants is a unique approach to medicine that can be adapted toward the treatment of various diseases. Recently, gemini surfactants have been utilized as candidates for the formation of nonviral vectors. The chemical structure of the surfactant (variations in the alkyl tail length and spacer/head group) and the resulting physicochemical properties of the lipoplexes are critical parameters for efficient gene transfection. Moreover, studying the interaction of the surfactant with DNA can help in designing an efficient vector and understanding how transfection complexes overcome various cellular barriers. Part I of this review provides an overview of various types of gemini surfactants designed for gene therapy and their transfection efficiency; and Part II will focus on different novel methods utilized to understand the interactions between the gemini and DNA in a lipoplex. |
Sony
Although band.it can fit on lenses from any manufacturer, these are specifically sized for the Sony line-up. The band.it can stop lens creep, act as a replacement Sony OEM zoom ring or OEM focus ring, or simply improve a photographer's grip on their lens.
Professional Sony repair shops can take time and cost hundreds. If the zoom or focus collar is simply loose, the band.its for these lenses are perfectly sized to fit in the existing grooves. |
Design of a structure-based model for protein folding from flexible conformations.
The use of coarse-grained models is important in many fields, especially those that use computer simulation to analyze large systems in processes that span long-time scales, as happens in protein folding. Among those approaches, structure-based models have been widely and successfully used for a few decades now. They usually take a single native conformation, experimentally solved, of the protein studied to determine the native contacts, which subsequently define the interaction potential for the simulation. The characteristics of the folding transition can then be analyzed from the computed trajectories. In this paper, we consider the possibility of enriching these models by considering the structural fluctuations present in the native state of a globular protein at room temperature in an aqueous environment. We use the different conformers experimentally provided when the protein structure was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as an approximate ensemble to test our methodology, which includes the definition of a global interaction potential and the analysis of the thermodynamic and structural characteristics of the folding process. The results are compared with traditional, single structure models. |

The present invention relates to a video monitoring system, and more particularly to such a video monitoring system which comprises a transmitter unit that detect predetermined detecting zones, and a receiver unit which is operated by the user to control the operation of the transmitter unit at a distance.
Regular commercially available video telephones can only transmit audio/video signals, and provides only one single picture. These video telephones cannot be linked to a video camera for image output. When a video telephone is connected, it immediately transmits detected image to the opposite party without through a recognition process. Further, these video telephones do not provide burglar-alarm function, remote control function, or automatic dialing function. If a remote control function is required, additional circuit means must be installed. |
Flight helmet
A flight helmet, sometimes referred to as a "bone dome" or "foam dome", is a special type of helmet primarily worn by military aircrew.
A flight helmet can provide:
Impact protection to reduce the risk of head injury (e.g. in the event of a parachute landing) and protection from wind blast (e.g. in the event of ejection).
A visor to shield the eyes from sunlight, flash and laser beams.
Noise attenuation, headphones and a microphone (except when included in a mask).
A helmet mounted display, mounting for night vision goggles and/or a helmet tracking system (so the aircraft knows where the pilot is looking).
The design of a flight helmet may also consider:
Comfort - including the weight, centre of gravity and provision for cooling and ventilation.
Compatibility with an oxygen mask (for high-altitude flight and NBC protection).
History of flight helmets
In the first days of aviation the leather helmets used in motor-racing were adopted by pilots as head protection. The initial design of early leather flying helmets was adapted during the 1930s to become the type B helmet which enabled the external attachment of radio earphones oxygen masks and removable goggles to protect pilots eyes from the elements.
By World War II, an oxygen mask was added to the equipment as planes flew higher where thinner air required a breathable air supply to the pilots and crew. After World War II into the Korean War, the leather headpiece was gradually replaced with a hard helmet needed as head protection during bailing out (and later with high velocity ejection). Also, goggles were replaced by a visor that was incorporated to the helmet and tinted to protect against sun. Current head gear (appears after the Vietnam War) also includes communications equipment (head set and microphones) to let pilots communicate with ground operations and their crew.

In general, a computer program consists of a sequence of instructions all of which belong to a particular instruction set. At the appropriate time, each instruction is typically loaded into an instruction register where it resides while being decoded and executed. The execution of one instruction normally involves a plurality of steps. In many processors, each of these steps is performed by the execution of a microinstruction which may be stored in a read only memory. Accordingly, for these processors, a stage is required whereby a sequence of microinstruction memory addresses are provided for one instruction. In the prior art, this has been accomplished through the use of hardware logic that decodes the instruction. Commonly, each instruction is divided into a plurality of fields, each field consisting of a single bit or contiguous bits. Examples of fields are format, operation code, address mode, register specification, etc. The number, size, and types of fields may vary within one instruction set. Generally, the hardware decode logic determines the particular format from a delineation field within the instruction and then decodes the remainder of the instruction according to that format. However, when it is desirable to emulate a different processor using a different instruction set, different hardware decode logic is required. |

This invention relates to an imaging device employing so-called transfer type pressure-sensitized recording medium consisting of a microcapsule sheet (pressure-sensitized medium) and a developing sheet or a self-developing type pressure-sensitized recording medium, more particulary, to an imaging device having a function capable of controlling an operation of a pressurizing rollers for pressurizing medium so as to begin to accurately pressurize the recording medium from the start position of an area to be pressurized.
An imaging device employing a pressure-sensitized recording medium consisting of a microcapsule sheet and a developing sheet will be described below for an example of conventional devices.
The microcapsule sheet forms a roll with its leading end to be pulled out of it in operation. The developing sheet is in cut form.
Such an imaging device generates through exposure a latent image responsive to the actual image on the microcapsule sheet. A developing sheet is then laid on the side carrying the latent image of the microcapsule sheet and both are pressurized between a pair of pressure rollers opposed to each other. This pressure operation develops the latent image formed on the microcapsule sheet into a visible image transferred to the developing sheet.
The pair of pressure rollers are normally in their standby open position, while drawing themselves to a closed position when a sensor, for instance, detects the developing paper passing a certain position having been set before the pair of the pressure rollers. The pressure rollers resume their open position when they are rotated through a certain angle after closure thereof.
However, there are some cases in which adjusting the degree of exposure of the pressure-sensitized recording medium or enlarging or reducing the image size is effected by varying a travelling speed of the pressure-sensitized recording medium. As the travelling speed thus varies, there is some irregularity in feed quantity of the developing medium and the pressure-sensitized recording medium into the space between the pressure rollers when the opposing pressure rollers of the pressure developing unit are completely brought to their closing position.
This makes the pressure-developing operation on the developing sheet start at varying start positions, resulting in a difficulty in providing an exact reproduction of the image.
Also, when employing a pressure-sensitized recording medium consisting of microcapsule sheet and developing sheet, a problem has been encountered that, if a sheet of microcapsule sheet with no developing sheet laid on it is put under pressure, the content of the microcapsules is deposited on the rollers staining the back of the developing sheet at the time of following development. Furthermore, a thickened layer of capsule content laid upon the roller surface makes pressure distribution over the pair of pressure rollers less uniform, so that the developed image suffers uneven color quality. |

Gaming systems are becoming ever larger and more complex. Geographically, a gaming system may comprise hundreds of linked or unlinked gaming devices within a single casino. In addition, the systems may now span multiple properties, with gaming machines over a wide geographic area connected to one another or associated with the same system.
Today's gaming systems may have a variety of features or functions which make the system very complex. Of course, the operational components of a gaming system are likely to include a large number of gaming machines, table games, keno stations, cashier workstations, auditor workstation, accounting workstations, and many other related system elements. These system elements are likely to be connected to a host computer via a network. Via this connection, information may be transmitted to each gaming machine or other device and information may be transmitted from each gaming machine or device. This information may comprise a wide variety of information, such as security information and gaming machine activity information.
Each gaming machine may also be associated with a player tracking network. This network may include the same communication links and host computer. However, this portion of the system is specially adapted to perform such functions as receiving player identification, such as by a player tracking card inserted into a card reader at the gaming machine, and tracking of player game play information. This information may include coin in and coin out information from the gaming machine.
A gaming machine may also be associated with a progressive network or system. Here, a group of gaming machines are associated, and amounts wagered may be placed in a common pool which can be won playing any one of the machines associated with the progressive system.
A gaming machine may also be provided with a communication link to a financial system. This system or function includes components arranged to permit a player to use a credit card or similar form of credit associated with an outside financial institution for providing credit for playing the gaming machine.
A gaming machine may also be associated with a cashless transaction system, such as International Game Technology's EZ-PAY™ system. Such a system includes components arranged to print tickets representing monetary value in lieu of dispensing actual currency or coin.
The complexity and size of these gaming systems creates a number of difficulties. It is desirable to be able to determine the location of a specific gaming machine and obtain information regarding its operation. It is surprisingly difficult to locate a particular gaming machine, given the size of the machine. However, in a large casino with thousands of machines, and considering that the layout of the casino may be changed with some frequency, the location of a particular machine is often somewhat difficult to determine.
Generally, the location is known either through a printed chart or by physically traveling to the casino to find the machine. In the first case, information regarding the gaming machine is rather singular, and more general information which may be pertinent to the location of the gaming machine, such as landmarks in the casino or relationships to other machines or banks of machines, may be lacking. In the second case, the detailed information is provided, but only to the person who travels to the gaming machine and physically observes it and the surroundings of the machine in the casino.
It is also often difficult to obtain information regarding a particular machine. The information regarding a particular machine, such as information regarding player activities, security, cashless transactions and the like may be found in different data files and with different computers or host arranged to implement the various functions or systems with which the gaming machine is associated.
A system which provides information regarding components of a gaming system, such as gaming machines and table games, including location information and game machine activity information, is desired. |
Navigation using a personal mobile device (such as a “smart” cell-phone) is commonplace, and mostly makes use of satellite based global positioning systems (e.g. GPS).
While navigation (i.e., finding one's way from the current position to a desired destination) was the “raison d′etre” for positioning technology, the capability of determining and sharing the positions of object, and in particular one's self-position spawned a myriad of other applications and services, such as Surveying and Mapping, Location Based Services (LBS) and advertisement, Social Network applications, people and vehicle tracking, etc. All this has made positioning technology very popular, and it is installed in all modern mobile devices.
Satellite GPS technology is very attractive because the vast majority of GPS receivers are relatively simple and low cost, and the required satellite signal is globally available, without the need for any additional hardware or infrastructure installation. However—it becomes useless in areas where the receivers cannot “see the sky”, or are otherwise deprived of adequate satellite signal.
Indoor shopping malls, airport terminals, trade show and exhibition venues, museums—these are just some of the venues where position based applications can be extremely useful, but where GPS technology cannot work, and one has to look for other technologies that can do the task. Existing indoor positioning technologies are mostly based on radio signals, such as WiFi, which also happens to be available in most modern mobile devices. However, these technologies lack adequate precision, or require costly hardware infrastructure installation and maintenance throughout the area where positioning is desired. |
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition. Systemic and regional hemodynamics in rats and humans.
The systemic and regional hemodynamic effects of angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have been investigated using different experimental methods (pulsed Doppler, radioactive microspheres), either in rats (normotensive NT or genetically hypertensive SHRs) or in humans (healthy volunteers or patients with congestive heart failure CHF). All ACEIs decreased systemic vascular resistance but the profile of their peripheral vasodilating properties was heterogeneous. ACEI-induced vasodilation primarily affected the kidney in rats and in humans and this effect was accompanied by a strong and consistent increase in renal blood flow. This occurred even at non-hypotensive doses in SHRs and CHF patients and resulted in a favorable redistribution of cardiac output towards the kidney. In the muscular vascular bed, ACEIs also decreased local vascular resistance in rats and in humans, whether normotensive or hypertensive. In humans, this vasodilation affected both the arterioles and the large conductance vessels, more markedly in CHF patients than in normotensive subjects. Muscular blood flow was increased and a favorable redistribution of cardiac output towards the muscle occurred. Cerebral blood flow in SHRs and carotid blood flow in humans were augmented, whereas hepatosplanchnic blood flow was increased in rats but not modified in humans. There was no major difference between the regional vasodilating profiles of the different ACEIs, but captopril was somewhat less active at the muscular level. In conclusion, ACEI-induced regional vasodilation is heterogeneous, preferentially affecting the kidney and the muscle. In the latter, both arterioles and large conductance vessels are dilated. |

Q:
Less ugly way to use sed to simply include a new line?
There are a lot of guides, handbooks, fast-guides, question/answers about it: no one are simple and objective...
It is a classical problem, near all text editors crashes with big files XML or HTML "all in one line", so we need to decide what tag will recive the \n and replace all occurences of <tag by \n<tag ... so simple. Why it is not simple to do by terminal?
The best question/answer about this case not solves: Bash: How can I replace a string by new line in osx bash? Example using that solution: sed 's/<article/\'$'\n\n<article/g' file.htm not works, need some more exotical syntax, so it is not simple as I solicitated in this question.
So, this quetion is not about "any solution", but about "some simple/elegant solution".
A:
If I understand what you are looking for you could try something like the following:
sed 's/<tag>/\n<tag>/g' file.htm
which is very close to the anwser you linked.
It already looks quite simple to me, it replaces the tag with a new line character and writes the tag again.
However I don't get the need for this '$' in your case.

Role of en and novel interactions between msh, ind, and vnd in dorsoventral patterning of the Drosophila brain and ventral nerve cord.
Subdivision of the neuroectoderm into discrete gene expression domains is essential for the correct specification of neural stem cells (neuroblasts) during central nervous system development. Here, we extend our knowledge on dorsoventral (DV) patterning of the Drosophila brain and uncover novel genetic interactions that control expression of the evolutionary conserved homeobox genes ventral nervous system defective (vnd), intermediate neuroblasts defective (ind), and muscle segment homeobox (msh). We show that cross-repression between Ind and Msh stabilizes the border between intermediate and dorsal tritocerebrum and deutocerebrum, and that both transcription factors are competent to inhibit vnd expression. Conversely, Vnd segment-specifically affects ind expression; it represses ind in the tritocerebrum but positively regulates ind in the deutocerebrum by suppressing Msh. These data provide further evidence that in the brain, in contrast to the trunc, the precise boundaries between DV gene expression domains are largely established through mutual inhibition. Moreover, we find that the segment-polarity gene engrailed (en) regulates the expression of vnd, ind, and msh in a segment-specific manner. En represses msh and ind but maintains vnd expression in the deutocerebrum, is required for down-regulation of Msh in the tritocerebrum to allow activation of ind, and is necessary for maintenance of Ind in truncal segments. These results indicate that input from the anteroposterior patterning system is needed for the spatially restricted expression of DV genes in the brain and ventral nerve cord. |
the prisoner correspondence project
Thought I ought to draw your attention to this project being organized by a group of Montreal-based queer activists:
The PRISONER CORRESPONDENCE PROJECT coordinates a direct letter-writing program for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, gendervariant, queer, 2spirit & intersexed inmates in Canada and the US, linking these communities with people who identify similarly who are outside of prison.
The project also coordinates a resource library of harm reduction practice (safer sex, safer drug use, clean needle care, safer tattooing, etc), HIV and HepC prevention, homophobia, transphobia, etc. The idea of the project is not to match people up romantically, but create accountable friendships where those involved can support and learn from one another.
As an organization, we try to be allies to prisoner struggle, and reject the ways that people a part of these communities are targeted and criminalized.
THE PROJECT IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NON-INCARCERATED FOLKS TO ACT AS PENPALS WITH INCARCERATED FOLKS IN CANADA AND THE US! Please get in touch if you want more info on becoming a penpal!
** Though the organizing collective is Montreal-based, you can still become a penpal if you’re not living in Montreal. We’re also currently trying to distribute promo materials in other cities, so please please get in touch if you want to do some out-of-town outreach (even putting up a few flyers or asking a few friends would be helpful!) **
For more information, or to otherwise get involved, please contact

In conjunction with a few other activist groups here in Montreal, the PCP (uh, too bad about the acronym) organized a screening of film responses to the AIDS crisis in the 80s and 90s earlier this week. While I’m still working through my own emotional and political responses to the films (political funerals, holy crap cried my eyes out), one thing the evening’s viewing made painfully clear was how marginalized people are routinely crushed by state policy, whether it be ignorance or purposeful criminalization. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of exclusionary injustice are deeply institutionalized, and the prison system is one manifestation where these systems of oppression are very harshly felt. Whether it’s denying incarcerated people access to materials they need to practice safer sex or denying people with AIDS the medicine they need, people deemed undesirable by social or capital standards are always going to be trampled or swept away by the state. All the more reason to pick up a pen, I say.
You can also hook up with the project’s Facebook group here, if you’re that way inclined, and you can read more about it in this Xtra.ca article. |

Possible talking point: Rep. Paul Ryan. A recent speech has people talking, as it should. An excerpt:
The question is, do we realign with the vision of a European-style social welfare state, or do we realign with the American idea?My party challenges the whole basis of the Progressivist vision of this country's future. We challenge their attack on American exceptionalism. We challenge their claim that bureaucratic centralization is the only way the US can meet the economic and social challenges of our time.Those leaders have underestimated the good sense of the American people. They broke faith with independents, Republicans, and their own rank-and-file. They walked away from the foundational truths that made America the wonder and the envy of the world. The price of their infidelity will be high.
Read the whole thing, if you get the chance. Then come back here to discuss. Is Ryan overstating the threat? Is he too confident in the GOP? Are his objections shared by the country at large? |
Absence of CFTR is associated with pleiotropic effects on mucins in mouse gallbladder epithelial cells.
Mucus of cystic fibrosis patients exhibits altered biochemical composition and biophysical behavior, but the causal relationships between altered cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function and the abnormal mucus seen in various organ systems remain unclear. We used cultured gallbladder epithelial cells (GBEC) from wild-type and Cftr((-/-)) mice to investigate mucin gene and protein expression, kinetics of postexocytotic mucous granule content expansion, and biochemical and ionic compositions of secreted mucins. Muc1, Muc3, Muc4, Muc5ac, and Muc5b mRNA levels were significantly lower in Cftr((-/-)) GBEC compared with wild-type cells, whereas Muc2 mRNA levels were higher in Cftr((-/-)) cells. Quantitative immunoblotting demonstrated a trend toward lower MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC5AC, and MUC5B mucin levels in Cftr((-/-)) cells compared with cells from wild-type mice. In contrast, the levels of secreted MUC1, MUC3, MUC5B, and MUC6 mucins were significantly higher from Cftr((-/-)) cells; a trend toward higher levels of secreted MUC2 and MUC5AC was also noted from Cftr((-/-)) cells. Cftr((-/-)) cells demonstrated slower postexocytotic mucous granule content expansion. Calcium concentration was significantly elevated in the mucous gel secreted by Cftr((-/-)) cells compared with wild-type cells. Secreted mucins from Cftr((-/-)) cells contained higher sulfate concentrations. Thus absence of CFTR is associated with pleiotropic effects on mucins in murine GBEC. |
Novel polymer biomaterials and interfaces inspired from cell membrane functions.
Materials with excellent biocompatibility on interfaces between artificial system and biological system are needed to develop any equipments and devices in bioscience, bioengineering and medicinal science. Suppression of unfavorable biological response on the interface is most important for understanding real functions of biomolecules on the surface. So, we should design and prepare such biomaterials. SCOOP OF REVIEW: One of the best ways to design the biomaterials is generated from mimicking a cell membrane structure. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayered membrane and embedded proteins and polysaccharides. The surface of the cell membrane-like structure is constructed artificially by molecular integration of phospholipid polymer as platform and conjugated biomolecules. Here, it is introduced as the effectiveness of biointerface with highly biological functions observed on artificial cell membrane structure. Reduction of nonspecific protein adsorption is essential for suppression of unfavorable bioresponse and achievement of versatile biomedical applications. Simultaneously, bioconjugation of biomolecules on the phospholipid polymer platform is crucial for a high-performance interface. The biointerfaces with both biocompatibility and biofunctionality based on biomolecules must be installed on advanced devices, which are applied in the fields of nanobioscience and nanomedicine. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Nanotechnologies - Emerging Applications in Biomedicine. |
The most widespread medium for distributing motion pictures is the videocassette. Because of the different television industry standards used throughout the world, there are an equal number of videocassette standards. An NTSC videotape sold in the United States, for example, will not play on most videocassette players to be found in England. To a far lesser extent, motion pictures are also distributed on optical disk media. These media are for the most part analog recordings, and once again media designed to play on players of one type are incompatible with players of another.
Further complicating the need to publish a given motion picture in multiple standards is the fact that there are often two versions of the same motion picture. Typically, the versions may be what are termed R-rated and PG-rated, the former, because of its violence or sexual content, being suitable primarily for adults. Motion picture companies will often produce two different versions of the same film. For example, adult-rated films are generally not shown on airplanes. There are many consumers who will not purchase an adult-rated motion picture, especially if it will be viewed by children in the household. The multiple-standards problem is compounded by the fact that a motion picture may have to be released in two versions, and each of those versions will in turn have to be distributed in multiple standards.
Digitally encoded optical disks are in theory far superior for the distribution of motion pictures and other forms of presentation. Especially advantageous is the use of "compressed video," by which it is possible to digitally encode a motion picture on a disk no larger than the present-day audio CD. Especially in the case of compressed video, where there is no real-time analog video signal on a disk, it should be possible to play the same disk throughout the world--the players in any given territory will generate an analog signal of the appropriate standard from the same digitally encoded video source information. It would be highly desirable if the same disk could store two versions of the same motion picture; such a "universal" disk would obviate the need for releasing a motion picture in multiple disk forms.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a system and method in which multiple versions of the same motion picture are stored on the same software carrier, without requiring multiple full video tracks each devoted to one of the versions.
It is another object of this invention to provide a system and method for representing information pertaining to the versions available on the disk, and a player for controlling which version is played.
It must be understood that the principles of the present invention are not limited to any particular types of carriers or any particular kinds of software. It is true that the most widespread use foreseen for the invention is by the motion picture industry, and the storage of R-rated and PG-rated versions of the same motion picture on a single disk. However, the invention is not limited to the provision of just two versions on the carrier: the principles of the invention are equally applicable to three or more versions of the same program material. (A practical application of this would be the provision of multiple versions of a tutorial on a single disk, with each version being geared for a different level of expertise.) Not only is the invention not limited to a particular number of versions, but it is not limited to a particular medium--for example, it is applicable to tape carriers and all digital storage media. Thus it is to be understood that the term "software publisher" embraces much more than a motion picture company, and the term "carrier" embraces much more than a digitally encoded optical disk. |

Land of the Free
:
Raine Stockton
Publisher's Summary
No one knows the mountains of North Carolina like Raine Stockton and her search and rescue dog, Cisco. When they are called in to search for an elderly man who has wandered away from home, it seems like a routine mission until Raine looks through her binoculars and sees something she wasn't supposed to see. A dead man is very much alive, a felon is walking around free, and Raine is the only person who can testify to the fact. The problem is that no one takes her claims seriously...except the person who wants her dead. Unwillingly thrust into the midst of an unpleasant child custody battle and a hotly contested political race, Raine finds herself questioning her own judgment and is uncertain who to trust. Is she suffering from PTSD, or has a nightmare from her past materialized to haunt her? The police tell her one thing, her common sense tells her another. But when murder strikes too close to home, the hypothetical question becomes all too real, and no one is above suspicion: not the man Raine loves, not the man she once married, not even Raine herself. And they all must choose how far they're willing to go to protect the ones they love. In this thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that includes Home of the Brave, Dog Days, and Land of the Free, Raine and Cisco face their biggest challenge yet, and when it is over nothing will ever be the same.

Effect of target composition on proton energy spectra in ultraintense laser-solid interactions.
We study how the proton density in a target irradiated by an ultraintense laser affects the proton spectrum, with analytical models and Vlasov simulations. A low relative proton density gives rise to peaks in the energy spectrum. Furthermore, a target with the protons confined to a thin, low density layer produces a quasimonoenergetic spectrum. This is a simple technique for producing proton beams with a narrow energy spread for proton radiography of laser-plasma interactions. |
Oxidative phosphorylation and ATPase activities of human tumor mitochondria.
Studies were carried out with intact mitochondria isolated from human astrocytoma, oat cell carcinoma and melanoma which were propagated in athymic mice. These human tumor mitochondria were capable of coupled oxidative phosphorylation. They also showed significant uncoupler-stimulated ATPase if defatted bovine serum albumin was included in the assay media. However, the uncoupler response curves were different and the magnitude of the ATPase activity was lower than could be obtained with mitochondria of a normal tissue, such as liver. Some of these characteristics were also exhibited by mitochondria from several animal hepatomas and Ehrlich ascites tumor. In the three tumors studied, mitochondria from oat cell carcinoma were more labile, whereas higher respiratory control ratios and greater stimulation of ATPase by uncouplers were obtained with melanoma mitochondria. The mitochondrial ATPase was not the major cellular ATPase in any of the three tumors. This was indicated by a low inhibition of the ATPase activity of tumor cell homogenates by oligomycin. A very large fraction of the cellular ATPase activities was recovered in the microsomal fractions. |
The one who held that poor, already restrained animal is just as guilty as the one who took the knife across its throat.
If an aggressive animal can upset them so much that they panic and do such a terrible thing, they do not belong on the force.
How about the people who deliver our mail, also UPS and Federal Express? How about delivery men who carry pepper spray or dog treats? They don't carry knives. It's frightening to think that police officers are carrying knives and guns if they scare that easily.
If these two officers don't both lose their jobs I will completely lose respect for the police department and the criminal justice system in Baltimore City. |
