Several technologies are known to exist for making panels for displaying varying alphanumeric messages, in particular for roadsigns or for advertising displays. Such panels are often implemented by assembling unit modules or subassemblies which are constituted by a portion of the main screen and an image-creating device. Optical fiber panels make it possible:
to display a plurality of pre-established symbols or messages of various colors and shapes;
to flash at an adjustable frequency and thus attract attention; and
to possess a high level of brightness in the observation direction with low electricity consumption, thereby remaining visible even under extremely unfavorable conditions.
The device may be of the electromechanical type having, for example, occultation means associated with one or more optical fibers for each point or pixel of the screen.
Whatever type of lighting is used, light sources always suffer from the drawback of presenting a large amount of dispersion in their performance. Panels comprising a plurality of light sources therefore lack uniformity in message display, since each of the subassemblies cannot reproduce the same brightness. In addition, light sources such as arc lamps, halogen lamps, or lasers, for example, deteriorate over time, and often differently within a single batch of such sources. As a result the differences in brightness between the subassemblies of a given panel can only get worse over the lifetime of the light sources. |
Q:
Tutorials on LDPC error correction codes
Please consider this as soft question.
Recently, I have been studying channel coding and in particular error correction codes. I am looking for best tutorial (easy to understand) on LDPC error correction codes.
Including the decoding of such codes too.
I am looking forward for your suggestions.
A:
"Channel codes - Classical and Modern" by William E. Ryan and Shu Lin should be a great place to learn about both linear codes and LDPC codes in particular as the book devotes a huge part to the latter topic with a self-contained introduction to the former.

A review of natural and modified betulinic, ursolic and echinocystic acid derivatives as potential antitumor and anti-HIV agents.
The aim of this review is to update current knowledge on the betulinic, ursolic and echinocystic acids and their natural and semisynthetic analogs, focussing on their cytotoxic and anti-HIV activities. Then, the last results of the authors' team on unusual semisynthetic derivatives of these triterpenoids will be presented in order to establish structure/activity relationships. |
Confusion among world soccer officials and a lack of clear challengers suggest a murky path lies ahead toreplace FIFA President Sepp Blatter. He resigned yesterday as U.S. authorities confirmed they are trying to gather evidence linking him to a sweeping investigation into alleged corruption at world soccer’s governing body. Meanwhile, further doubt has been cast over whether Russia and Qatar will host the next two World Cups after losing Mr. Blatter, the strongest supporter of their bids. The Qatar stock market fell sharply today following news of his departure. But to many, his resignation couldn’t come soon enough. “Sepp Blatter was the Last Man on Earth to realize that soccer needed a de-Blattering,” writes our sports columnist Jason Gay. |

Preaxial polydactyly: a model for defective long-range regulation in congenital abnormalities.
Point mutations in the long-range, limb-specific regulatory element of the SHH gene are responsible for the human limb abnormality called preaxial polydactyly (PPD). Disruptions of regulatory elements in developmental genes are a small but increasingly significant class of mutations responsible for congenital defects. Identifying regulatory elements that might reside hundreds of kilobases from their relevant genes is difficult but rendered possible by the emerging field of comparative genomics. Genetic analysis of PPD highlights the notion that regulatory mutations might generate phenotypes distinct from any of those identified for coding region mutations. |

TÁNAISTE AND MINISTER for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore has begun a four day visit to Israel and Palestine today.
He is due to meet local business people in Gaza later today to hear about the continuing impact of the Israeli blockade on the Gaza economy.
Gilmore said that the search for peace in the Middle East is a “core objective” of Irish foreign policy.
During the course of the visit the Tánaiste will also meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Foreign Minister Riad Malki as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor. He will also meet with Israel’s controversial Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman.
“We know well from our own experience how difficult the process of making peace can be, particularly taking the first crucial steps,” said the Tánaiste.
The Tánaiste will begin his visit in Gaza today where he will meet with the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and visit some schools and projects run by UNRWA.
He will also meet with non-governmental organisations dealing with human rights issues in Gaza.
“The search for peace in the Middle East remains a core objective of Irish foreign policy,” said Gilmore. “In my discussions with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, I will be underlining Ireland’s and the EU’s continuing strong desire to see substantive direct peace talks begin as soon as possible”.
Earlier this week low-level talks between Israelis and Palestinians ended without any breakthrough. |
Q:
How to use static functions to call UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum() with completion handler?
I am able to call UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum and handle the completion without problem:
class A {
func saveNow() {
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(someImage, self, "saveImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:", nil)
}
func saveImage(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>) {
// handle completion
}
}
However, if I want to make saveNow() a static function, I am not able to set the completionTarget & completionSelector correctly so that I can handle the completion:
class B {
static func saveNow() {
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(someImage, /* how to set here */)
}
static func saveImage completionSelector(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>) {
}
}
How to modify class B if I want to use static functions?
A:
What you'd need to do is to set the target to YourClassName.self.
I.e.,
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(someImage, YourClassName.self, "saveImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:", nil)
By the way, your function name is not correct:
//Note the space between saveImage and completionSelector
static func saveImage completionSelector(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>)
I think it should be:
static func saveImageWithCompletionSelector(image: UIImage, didFinishSavingWithError error: NSError?, contextInfo:UnsafePointer<Void>)
Thus, we may need to make a corresponding change:
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(someImage, YourClassName.self, "saveImageWithCompletionSelector:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:", nil)
I just ran a quick test with the aforementioned change and suggestion; there should be a pop-up requesting for authorization for accessing photo album.

Q:
Does webmatrix Database class uses ADO.Net internally?
Is Database class just a wrapper for ADO.NET which makes use of db simpler ? What's its limits ?
A:
Yes - the Database Helper is a wrapper around ADO.NET. It is designed to minimize the code that a beginner needs to get started with querying databases, similar to how its done in PHP. Its limits depend on your point of view. As someone who is just starting to learn web development and databases, you might think that the helper is a stroke of genius. As a professional developer, you might not like the fact that it returns dynamic types or that it doesn't prevent people dynamically constructing their SQL and potentially opening up their application to SQL injection attacks.

Errors involved in the existing B-term expressions for the longitudinal diffusion in fully porous chromatographic media Part II: experimental data in packed columns and surface diffusion measurements.
Peak parking experiments have been performed on three RP-HPLC different columns, using two different components and a variable mobile phase composition. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the B-term diffusion expressions currently used in the literature (which are all Knox-type models) should be replaced by the effective diffusion expressions that have been developed in the frame of the effective medium theory (EMT). Although the EMT-expressions are not fully accurate either (the mathematics of the complex interactions between different diffusion zones that are in close contact are too demanding to catch them in an exact analytical expression), they at least are physically sound and do not violate Maxwell's basic law of diffusion. Further they also provide a much better approximation of the numerically calculated effective diffusivity in the theoretical test situation considered in part I. The present study shows that the values of the surface or stationary phase diffusion coefficient that are derived from peak parking models can depend heavily on the employed B-term model. The EMT-based B-term expressions lead to values of the surface diffusion coefficient that vary much less strongly with the phase retention factor than if one of the Knox-type models is used to analyze the data. This implies that, since all peak parking experiments that have been performed in the past have all been interpreted with a Knox-type model, the conclusions that have been drawn from these studies should all be moderated or at least revisited. |
Insight Trumps Knowledge
Insight Trumps Knowledge
Most of us spend our lives pursuing knowledge when what we really need is insight. Throughout our education and our careers we strive to learn things that we hope will bring us success. While knowledge is certainly important, a great insight will beat it every time.
For example:
People had been experimenting with electricity for well over a century and researchers all over the world understood how it worked; one of them invented the light bulb and the infrastructure that made it viable.
Many companies knew how to make automobiles—and were doing it very profitably; a guy named Ford started doing it on an assembly line.
Many companies were selling cosmetics when one woman decided to do it in a way that provided non-traditional jobs to other women, selling to women. She created Mary Kay.
Sears and K-Mart were once two of the most successful retailers in the world. They knew their business, until a company in ruralArkansasbegan selling in places those companies considered too small to bother with and Wal-Mart overtook them.
IBMunderstood the computer business like no one else in the world—or so it thought. So it gave what it considered to be the least profitable part of a new venture to a fledgling company called Microsoft.
Thousands of entrepreneurs saw dollar signs on the Internet; one realized that the way to leverage that new medium was with, of all things, books. He called it Amazon.com.
Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Mary Kay Ash, Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos. They’re just a tiny fraction of all the examples one could give of people whose insight trumped everyone else’s knowledge. Any business school graduate could quickly list many more.
It’s no different inside organizations. Does anyone who has worked in a large company more than a few months believe that promotions go to those who “know” the most? (And even when they do, is that always good?)
One of business’ greatest truisms is that you must know your customer. Yet you can know your customer quite well and still get thumped in the marketplace—by someone who has figured out something that even your customers don’t yet know about themselves. (See above list.)
Knowledge is not only less powerful than insight; there are times when what we think we know can become one of our greatest obstacles. (IBM, Sears…)
If some genie ever offers you a choice between profound knowledge and profound insight, choose insight. |
Q:
VB Object reference not set to an instance of an object
I am simply trying to load an xml file and I cannot figure out how. Here is my code:
Dim root As Xml.XmlDocument = Nothing
root.Load(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "C:\XMLFile1.xml")
It compiles without errors but then gives me "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when I step through the debugger and it reaches that second line. The file exists where it is supposed to. I've tried almost every variation of the above lines that I could find online (ie with just the path within the parentheses in the second line etc) but still get the same issue.
A:
Look closely at what you're doing:
Dim root As Xml.XmlDocument = Nothing
This line says to create a variable called root but set it to Nothing. That is, don't assign it an instance of any actual object. Then:
root.Load()
You're trying to use the object, which you just explicitly defined as not being an object.
The error has nothing to do with your XML file, it never gets that far. You need an actual instance of an object before you can call members of that object. I think what you're looking for is this:
Dim root As New XmlDocument
root.Load(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "C:\XMLFile1.xml")
This creates an instance of an XmlDocument object and then invokes the Load member on that object. (Though I think the path is wrong, but that's another issue entirely. I can't imagine any path information preceeding the drive letter...)

The subject matter disclosed herein generally relates to controlling a compute circuit and, more particularly, to controlling post-silicon configurable instruction behavior of a compute circuit.
Currently, core logic development can be completed many months to years in advance of a product launch. For example, currently, some timelines have core logic development complete about three years before the logic is returned in silicon and shipped as a product to a customer making it generally available.
This means that decisions are taken very early for the project on the exact implementation of instructions, even before the software teams designing products to run on the core logic have refined and finalized their requirement for a new instruction. In the past, this has led to adding new instructions in hardware that turned out to not be used by software because they did not fulfil all requirements. Accordingly, a lot of development effort and silicon area is potentially wasted. Also, the new instructions may need to be supported for all next generations of chip, increasing the burden and potential waste. Thus, the elongated development time can make it difficult to react to changes e.g. in open source software, when a new technology emerges and a similar instruction is implemented by another and the software tailored for that new instruction.
Currently, in order to take advantage of the most recent instructions, a new machine would be needed to have a competitive implementation that can handle the new instruction technology. However, a new release of a chip can take years and even if the timelines are accelerated, metal layer changes are expensive and the management of existing versions of the chip are challenging.
Alternatively, software can be coded to work around the existing limitation of the hardware instruction, resulting in slower code and overall lower system efficiency and speed. Further, software rewrites can also be cost intensive and are slow to react to changes in open source software. Further, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation can be used but these devices have limited bandwidth (are “far” from the processor cores) and have a large implementation bill.
Accordingly, there is a desire to provide a system and/or method to handle the special cases in instruction coding that evolve over time by the time a circuit is brought to market. |
What sets it apart from military ammo is that the military is required to use ball ammo. Believe it or not, police forces do not use anything like what the military does when it comes to outfitting officers with ammunition.
Ball ammo is most definitely not preferred defensive ammo because it tends to pass through your target rather than expend the majority of its energy inside of the threat.
The TAP ammo is designed to limit over penetration so that a round will not go through an assailant or if a round misses its target it will not continue on through multiple walls. The VMax round loaded in that hornady ammo will create a devastating wound and will end a threat rather quickly if you ever have to use it. |
The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and method for forming an image on a predetermined printing medium and, more particularly, to an image forming apparatus and method suitable for printing a barcode on a printing medium.
In general, various printing apparatuses for printing on printing media (to be referred to as a printing sheet hereinafter) such as a paper sheet, cloth, plastic sheet, OHP sheet, and the like have been proposed, and they can include print heads based on various printing schemes, e.g., a wire-dot scheme, thermal scheme, thermal transfer scheme, and ink-jet scheme.
Of these schemes, an ink-jet scheme which is one of a class of low-noise, non-impact schemes that eject ink continous schemes (including a charge particle control scheme and spray scheme) and on-demand schemes (including a piezoelectric scheme, spark scheme, bubble-jet scheme) depending on their ink droplet forming methods and generation methods of ejection energy.
In the continous scheme, ink is continously ejected, and charges are given to only a required number of ink droplets. The charged ink droplets become attached to a printing sheet, but other ink droplets are wasted. In contrast to this, in the on-demand scheme, since ink is ejected only as required for printing, ink is not wasted, and the interior of the apparatus is not contaminated with ink.
In the on-demand shcme, since ink ejection is repetitively started and stopped, the response frequency is lower than that in the continous scheme. For this reason, the on-demand scheme realizes high-speed printing by increasing the number of nozzles that ejext ink droplets. Hence, most of currently commercially available printing apparatuses adopt the on-demand scheme, and printing apparatus with such ink-jet print head is commercially available in the form of output means of an information processing system, e.g., a copying machine, facsimile apparatus, wordprocessor, a printer as an output terminal of a personal computer or the like, and the like, since it can attain high-density, high-speed printing.
An ink-jet printing apparatus commonly comprises a print head, an ink tank that supplies ink to the print head, a conveyance means for conveying a printing sheet, and a control means for controlling these components. A carriage that mounts the print head for ejecting ink droplets from a plurality of orifices is serially scanned in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of a printing sheet, and the printing sheet is intermittently conveyed by an amount equal to a printing width in a non-printing state. By repeating such operations, a significant, two-dimensional image is printed. This printing method prints by ejecting ink onto a printing sheet in correspondence with a print signal, and is widely used as a silent printing method with low running cost.
When a full-line print head on which nozzles for ejecting ink are arranged on a line in correspondence with the paper width of a printing sheet is used, printing for the paper width is attained by continuously conveying the printing sheet in a direction perpendicular to the nozzle array of the print head. With this print head, higher-speed printing can be accomplished.
Furthermore, a color ink-jet printing apparatus forms a color image by overstriking ink droplets ejected by a plurality of color print heads. In general, in order to perform color printing, three print heads corresponding to three primary colors, i.e., yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C), or four print heads corresponding to black (Bk) in addition to the above three primary colors, and ink tanks corresponding to the individual heads are required. Recently, an apparatus which mounts such three or four color print heads and can form a full-color image has been put into practical use.
Moreover, in the FA (factory automation) and SA (store automation) fields as well, demand has arisen for dedicated printing apparatuses since they can timely output commodity management labels/tags printed with color commodity pictures, distribution labels that classify destinations by colors, and POP and shelf display labels/tags in retail stores, convenience stores, and the like. Such printing apparatus comprises a barcode generator since it must print barcodes for management in the individual fields.
The demand for the ink-jet printing apparatuses as excellent printing means is increasing in various industrial fields (e.g., apparel industry), and also, further improvement of image quality is being sought.
As energy generation means for generating energy for ejecting ink in an ink-jet print head, an electromechanical energy conversion element such as a piezoelectric element or the like is used, as described above, or an electro-thermal conversion element having a heating resistor is used to heat ink.
Of such means, a print head (so-called bubble-jet head) that ejects ink using heat energy (using a film boiling phenomenon) can attain high-resolution printing since the ink orifices can be arranged at high density.
In order to achieve stably readable barcode printing by the ink-jet print head arranged in the ink-jet printing apparatus with the above arrangement, stable ejection and a constant line thickness ratio of barcodes must be maintained to print barcodes that comply with barcode standards.
Such requirements can be met by, e.g., temperature control of the heads to stabilize the ejection amount.
However, in the distribution and FA fields, and the like, a large quantity of printing is often done per job, and it is hard to stabilize the ejection amount by the conventional temperature control alone. As the number of prints per job becomes larger, the ejection amount increases, and the black bars of barcodes become thicker. As a result, stable reading precision cannot be assured.
In general, in a dedicated barcode printing apparatus that exclusively prints barcodes, a single print head is arranged, and prints barcodes by a monochrome thermal transfer or ink-jet method. Even when a versatile printing apparatus is used, barcodes are normally printed using a single color. Hence, in a color printing apparatus having a plurality of heads as well, barcodes are normally printed using a single color (in general, black).
In barcode printing by a print head for printing a barcode, troubles inherent to the printing schemes (e.g., disconnection of a head, skewing of a ribbon, or the like in the thermal transfer scheme; ejection errors of a head, mislanding of ink, or the like in the ink-jet scheme) are fatal. That is, when a barcode printed using the printing apparatus that has suffered such troubles is read using a barcode reader, reading errors occur or such barcode cannot be read. For this reason, in the above-mentioned conventional barcode printing method, barcode printing is disabled when such troubles have occurred. |
Q:
NSTableView reload automatically when i resize window How to disable it
NSTableView reload automatically when i resize window and i calculate something when table reload,now i have problem because it's reload automatically.how to disable it? i found below answer but doesn't work
[self.tbl setFocusRingType:NSFocusRingTypeNone];
A:
You can't. A table view does not have internal storage for the values in the table. It uses the data source as its storage. If resizing the table view requires that it draw new rows or columns, or even redraw existing rows and columns, it must consult the data source to obtain the information necessary to do that.
What you're learning is that it is inappropriate to do expensive calculations in the data source methods. From the documentation for -tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row::
tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row: is called each time the table
cell needs to be redisplayed, so it must be efficient.

The advent and growth of computer networks enables businesses to provide customers and other businesses access to documents from an increasing number of network-based resources, such as Web servers, database servers and enterprise systems. To maintain proper business practices, a business must ensure not only that information published in these documents is accurate, but also that the information is suitable for the purpose which it is provided, such as the price of a product is matched with the correct product in a product catalog. To this end, businesses typically rely on content management systems to control the publication of documents associated with their business.
One type of a content management system is a software-based system that executes processes for managing content for electronic publishing. It supports a variety of document formats and provides access to content generated by different entities. Although this versatility makes a content management system an ideal resource publishing documents in a network environment, problems may arise when synchronizing documents obtained from separate sources. This problem is aggravated when modifications to documents are not limited to a single piece of information, but to an entire class of information in a business processing chain. For example, a change to data to a first document may require a similar or different change to a second document implemented by the processing chain. Thus, there is a need to provide an efficient way of communicating changes to documents across various entities of a business and its business processing chain such that the changes are synchronized among the various documents impacted by the change. Further, there is a need for an efficient manner of enforcing relationships between information included in documents implemented by a business processing chain to ensure valid information is published with a document. |

Socio-economic differentiation in Burkina Faso’s cotton sector
ESS faculty member Leslie Gray's (with co-author Brian Dowd) newly published paper examines how liberalization reforms in Burkina Faso’s cotton sector have led to socio-economic differentiation.This research helps us understand the differences among Africa farmers, particularly with respect to their access to land, inputs and broader social institutions and networks.In particular, new grower cooperatives have become a site for wealthier farmers to exert influence on how debts are repaid and inputs distributed, largely to the detriment of poorer producers. |

Contrasting patterns of natural variation in global Drosophila melanogaster populations.
Despite the popularity of Drosophila melanogaster in functional and evolutionary genetics, the global pattern of natural variation has not yet been comprehensively described in this species. For the first time, we report a combined survey using neutral microsatellites and mitochondrial sequence variation jointly. Thirty-five populations originating from five continents were compared. In agreement with previous microsatellite studies, sub-Saharan African populations were the most variable ones. Consistent with previous reports of a single 'out of Africa' habitat expansion, we found that non-African populations contained a subset of the African alleles. The pattern of variation detected for the mitochondrial sequences differed substantially. The most divergent haplotypes were detected in the Mediterranean region while Africa harboured most haplotypes, which were all closely related. In the light of the well-established African origin of D. melanogaster, our results cast severe doubts about the suitability of mtDNA for biogeographic inference in this model organism. |

I’ve been doing quite a lot of research about laptop repairing course. It really takes time, effort, and money in fixing a hard laptop problem. Proper laptop repair tools must be used to avoid cracking and damaging components when repairing. Because of the technicalities involved, such as when laptop motherboard repairing is needed, professional laptop repair technician must be consulted.
There are not many video tutorials that feature complete and detailed course about the basics of repairing laptop. The information I share you on this website may help you about the technicalities and other important things you need to know if you are really that interested to learn or possibly make it a profitable business.
Laptop Repairing Course for Motherboard Repair
It is not easy to learn and fix your own laptop, especially the motherboard. Aside from required technical knowledge, you may have to experience painful cost if you are not careful in doing the repairing process. The challenge starts in the troubleshooting process that involves determining which component in the motherboard is failing.
Testing different kinds of laptop is even more difficult. Laptops differ in many ways which is set by manufacturers uniquely. Their motherboard is usually designed to fit into the housing of the manufacturers new model. So, different troubleshooting techniques may need to be used. Some experts say getting into a laptops’ basic core is like breaking into the federal reserve.
After the troubleshooting process, a critical decision whether to repair or to replace the component has to be made in consideration of availability of replacement and the cost. But before making this hard decision, you need to be skillful enough in performing assembly and dis-assembly using proper laptop repair tools and identifying components and their functions. This is the basic skill you have to develop to become a laptop repair specialist.
Fix PC Motherboard Desktop Problem Quick and Easy
In comparison, desktop PC motherboard repairing is easier to perform. Most system cases are easy to open since the only tool needed is phillips screwdriver. There are some screw-less system cases that don’t need screwdriver because the screws are designed for easy removal. Internal components can be easily removed and replaced because of the big space inside the case.
Desktop PC motherboards are governed by standards such as ATX that defines the size, layout, and features of the chassis. This allows component customization and lower costs of assembly and repair. Troubleshooting process is the same with laptop motherboard repair but is easier done.
In recent years, a more technical approach in motherboard repair has been growing in demand. Chip level repair of PC hardware components like the motherboard are now performed. Hardware components are made up of numerous semiconductor devices such as transistors, electrolytic capacitors, ICs, etc.
These small components can cause computers to behave strangely if they fail. Therefore, chip level repair by replacing these defective components may solve the problem. However, especial kinds of tools, equipment, and software may be need to be used to perform this task.
Repairing and upgrading desktop and laptop components will require you to use laptop repair tools. You can buy a laptop repair tool kit to get the complete set. Before you open up the case, be sure to read your laptop repair manual for guidance.
You need to have the following tools in repairing desktop and portable devices:
Hooked pick for routing cables and getting into small areas.
Digital multimeter for testing power supplies and general voltages.
Screwdriver kit with various tips such as different sized regular and Phillips bits, Torx bits, and small spanners for removing difficult screws.
Craft knife for cutting and prying.
Pliers for prying and grabbing small wires.
Wire cutters.
Soldering iron in case any wires need to be reconnected.
Super glue in order to repair small plastic cracks and more.
You need to undergo laptop training course to learn how to use these tools properly. There are lots of computer repair courses available online and offline. Basic knowledge about laptop maintenance is also recommended to clean and take care of the components properly and extend its life.
There are also available laptop repair videos you can use to learn the basics. I recommend the laptop repairing course made by Thomas James. The videos contain detailed, step-by-step video tutorials on how to repair/replace basic components of laptops such as CD/DVD drives, battery, LCD, motherboard, and other parts on various manufacturers including Apple Macbook.
Laptop computers are just personal computers for mobile use. So, when you learn laptop repairing you also learn desktop PC repair and vice versa. Desktop PCs and laptops are technically the same in terms of software. This means that PC repair software generally works on both types. Software installation and troubleshooting such as Operating System installation, configuration, etc. are generally the same as long as their processor manufacturer (e.g. Intel or Apple) are similar.
PC Repair Software
There are many free PC and laptop repair software available to download for various platforms and operating systems. The software can help diagnose and repair common system problems. But some problems are still beyond the ability of the software to correct. These software are used by desktop and laptop repair specialist along with otherlaptop repair tools.
Desktop and Laptop Viruses
All types of computers are affected by viruses. This includes all types of portable devices such as tablets. A virus is a malicious program that is capable of destroying files and programs of a computer. Laptop virus repair is the same with desktop virus repair because viruses are just programs. There are many free antivirus software available to download on Internet. There are also free online virus scanning services available on the Internet. These online services can reliably scan your computer for virus using their latest updated virus definition.
Desktop and Laptop – The Difference
The real difference therefore between desktops and laptops is their size and shape. Physically, desktop PCs are bigger while laptops are smaller and compact making them portable. So, the difference is more on hardware troubleshooting and repair, maintenance and upgrade. For example, laptop motherboard repairing and laptop maintenance process is a lot more difficult to do than in desktops. |

Transition to chaos in continuous-time random dynamical systems.
We consider situations where, in a continuous-time dynamical system, a nonchaotic attractor coexists with a nonattracting chaotic saddle, as in a periodic window. Under the influence of noise, chaos can arise. We investigate the fundamental dynamical mechanism responsible for the transition and obtain a general scaling law for the largest Lyapunov exponent. A striking finding is that the topology of the flow is fundamentally disturbed after the onset of noisy chaos, and we point out that such a disturbance is due to changes in the number of unstable eigendirections along a continuous trajectory under the influence of noise. |

Neural origins of psychosocial functioning impairments in major depression.
Major depressive disorder, a complex neuropsychiatric condition, is associated with psychosocial functioning impairments that could become chronic even after symptoms remit. Social functioning impairments in patients could also pose coping difficulties to individuals around them. In this Personal View, we trace the potential neurobiological origins of these impairments down to three candidate domains-namely, social perception and emotion processing, motivation and reward value processing, and social decision making. We argue that the neural basis of abnormalities in these domains could be detectable at different temporal stages during social interactions (eg, before and after decision stages), particularly within frontomesolimbic networks (ie, frontostriatal and amygdala-striatal circuitries). We review some of the experimental designs used to probe these circuits and suggest novel, integrative approaches. We propose that an understanding of the interactions between these domains could provide valuable insights for the clinical stratification of major depressive disorder subtypes and might inform future developments of novel treatment options in return. |

[Plasma lipoproteins in humans: metabolism and relation to atherosclerosis].
For a better understanding of atherogenesis it is important to consider the results from basic research in pathophysiology, pathobiochemistry and clinical research with special focus on the endothelium, the smooth muscle cells, macrophages, platelets and the plasma lipoproteins. The penetration of low-density lipoproteins through the endothelium, the contact of these particles with the potential foam cells, the effect of various cellular migratory and growth factors, the prostaglandin system and the hormonal status are important factors in the mechanisms leading to the formation of the atherosclerostic plaque. Disturbances in lipid metabolism are rarely recognized by signs such as formation of xanthomata. Even the measurement of plasma lipids does not always allow conclusions to be drawn with regard to the complicated relationship between lipoprotein concentrations and their potential risk. To estimate this risk biochemical and clinical interpretation must be performed individually and under consideration of various factors. This also holds true for the choice of therapeutical management. The therapy of lipid metabolism has to be an approach to the therapy of atherosclerosis with reduction of elevated low-density lipoprotein concentrations as the most important goal. Therapeutic management should be individually assessed, taking all known risk factors into account. |
Stochastic reduction method for biological chemical kinetics using time-scale separation.
Many processes in cell biology encode and process information and enact responses by modulating the concentrations of biological molecules. Such modulations serve functions ranging from encoding and transmitting information about external stimuli to regulating internal metabolic states. To understand how such processes operate requires gaining insights into the basic mechanisms by which biochemical species interact and respond to internal and external perturbations. One approach is to model the biochemical species concentrations through the van Kampen Linear Noise Equations, which account for the change in biochemical concentrations from reactions and account for fluctuations in concentrations. For many systems, the Linear Noise Equations exhibit stiffness as a consequence of the chemical reactions occurring at significantly different rates. This presents challenges in the analysis of the kinetics and in performing efficient numerical simulations. To deal with this source of stiffness and to obtain reduced models more amenable to analysis, we present a systematic procedure for obtaining effective stochastic dynamics for the chemical species having relatively slow characteristic time scales while eliminating representations of the chemical species having relatively fast characteristic time scales. To demonstrate the applicability of this multiscale technique in the context of Linear Noise Equations, the reduction is applied to models of gene regulatory networks. Results are presented which compare numerical results for the full system to the reduced descriptions. The presented stochastic reduction procedure provides a potentially versatile tool for systematically obtaining reduced approximations of Linear Noise Equations. |
Q:
OnBeforeUnload ajax request not working on IE8 a IE9
Hi I have been searching alot for a solution to be able to be able to send an ajax request when the user closes the browser.So far all I have found is the onBeforeUnload event.This is what I have so far:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
async: false,
url: '/Home/Get/'
});
});
and I have also tryed using the native javascript:
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
async: false,
url: '/Home/Get/'
});
};
Now my interesest is not to recieve back the callback I only want to be able to execute a method on the server side when the browser closes.
This seems to work reliable on chrome , firefox an IE10 , but it does not work on IE9 and IE8 at all.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
A:
You can try to use a synchronous request to do that.
Browsers may not wait an asynchronous request complete(or even established.)
here is another similar question here, please refer to it.
but there is one thing you should care about is: when using synchronous ajax call, user's browser will be blocked until the ajax call complete. It's not good for the user experience. And even worse, if your some bug happened in your server and the ajax request can not complete, the browser will be not responding. so be careful to do this!
BTW, for a good design, the server should not rely on the ajax request sent by the client to do some clean-up job. If you have to do such a job, use some other techniques, such as implementing a heartbeat mechanism.

Intellectual genocide
Rarely do I ever rant or even say too much on Facebook considering it’s essentially only used to feed us endorsements and research our likes to subconsciously exploit our consumer driven nature, however I do feel a strong urge to educate the malignant tumors of the world. Those whose purpose seems only to the spreading of idiotic normalcies.
So I went forward with my rant. On Facebook of all platforms. Maybe the continuation of building a society on illiterate, internet obsessed zombies who are given free reign to speak without a hint of knowledge finally got to me or perhaps I just felt like climbing up on the old soap box. It really is interchangeable in my current mind numbing situation. Anyhow boys and girls back to the rant…
I get it not everyone is vegan. Most likely because it’s far too difficult of a commitment for this simplistic generation. I can respect that you’ve been indoctrinated into believing that killing beautiful creatures and consuming them is far healthier than ummmmmm vegetables 👌 but it’s just not.
I will digress in that thought and simply ask that you educate yourself, not judge, and most certainly do not place your small town, “need” to hunt for population control rhetoric down the throat of those who believe in cruelty free forms of living.
Truth be told we are taking over their land with our incessant breeding and the real need for population control is for those humaniish beings who believe in humane slaughter.
Again I digress.
So going forward… I have no sympathy for the ignorant, the lazy, the “anti” anything not understood. Trust me there is hope out there. With a little time you may grasp the concept of empathy. If you know nothing about veganism or any other “controversial” topic you should read up. I have some literature that you are welcome to borrow. |

Q:
Translation of a Macklemore lyric
We are creating our own family crest, and would like a translation of a lyric "no freedom til we're equal". I've looked on Google Translate, but quickly realised it's going to end up reading like a dodgy tattoo. I can see that changing the wording on this slightly, gives very different translations, so I guess I'm looking for the closest in style and meaning. Any help would be appreciated.
A:
The following phrase should suit you just fine if your desire is an entirely literal translation, rather than something more pragmatic:
Lībertās nūlla dōnec aequālēs sumus.
or Lībertātem nūllam habēbimus dōnec aequālēs sumus.
Which translates literally to:
No freedom until we are equal.
We shall have no freedom until we are equal.
I included habēbimus in the original phrase as I felt that it made more clear to whom the freedom would belong; however, it can be dropped without removing any critical meaning.
Since you mentioned that this phrase would be included in a family crest and a tattoo, you probably don't want either to have the orthography of my previously provided quote, but rather, in the orthography of Classical Latin (all capitals, lack of a letter uU, apices marking long vowels, etc):
LIBERTAS•NVLLA•DONEC•AEQVALES•SVMVS
or LIBERTATEM•NVLLAM•HABEBIMVS•DONEC•AEQVALES•SVMVS
But, the final style is obviously up to you. You can read more about the orthography of Classical Latin (with both formal and informal orthographies described) here.
A:
Your motto made me recall Ovid's famous line:
Donec eris felix multos numerabis amicos.
As long as you are happy you will have many friends.
Imitating this and holding on to hexameter, I arrived at this suggestion:
Donec eris mihi par poteris tibi vivere liber.
As long as you are my equal you can live your own life free.
This is not exactly what you wished.
I needed some poetic licence to fit the metric constraints, but I personally feel that hexameter makes a motto more classy.

The need for materials that display high specific strength, stiffness, and toughness in excess of those displayed by single phase engineering materials has resulted in the development of composites derived from two or more non-homogeneous materials, where a reinforcing material, generally of greater strength and/or stiffness, is dispersed within a continuous bulk matrix material. Composites allow the properties of the bulk material to be tailored for a specific application. A very useful type of composite is a laminar composite with pluralities of laminae, where each lamina contains unidirectional or woven reinforcing fibers, which are combined to form a composite. The orientation of the fibers can differ from one lamina to another in a stack of laminae. The reinforcement is predominately in the direction of the reinforcing fibers in the laminae, in-plane, with little or no reinforcement to the common perpendicular to the fibers, the thickness of the laminar composite. The ultimate performance of laminar composite materials is heavily influenced by the strength and toughness of the interlaminar region where adjacent laminae intimately contact.
Enhancement of the interlaminar strength in composite materials has been achieved by four primary methods: interleaves, where a thin interlayer of an adhesive, which can be a second composite material, is placed at the interface between laminae; nanocomposite matrices, where the matrix material is further reinforced by a second reinforcing nanomaterial; Z-pinning, where laminae are connected by extending fibers through the thickness by weaving, knitting, braiding or stitching; and fiber whiskerization, where the reinforcing fibers are decorated with “whiskers” of a like or dissimilar reinforcing material. Limitations to employing these technologies have not facilitated their widespread adoption in commercial composites. For example: interleave methods reduce the composite's in-plane strength; nanocomposite matrices require costly resin transfer molding (RTM) processes and complex dispersion techniques; Z-pinning requires expensive tooling and leads to damage of the reinforcing fibers and can form defects that initiate composite failure; and fiber whiskerization remains costly and poses significant manufacturing challenges.
Hence, there remains a need for interlaminar reinforcement that maintains the laminar composite's in-plane properties yet is low cost, environmentally benign, and compatible with commercial prepreg processing. Furthermore, the method of preparing the laminar composite should be readily adaptable to a commercial production scale without the requirement of advanced tooling or resin transfer processes. |
Xerostomia: current streams of investigation.
Xerostomia is the subjective feeling of dry mouth, and it is often related to salivary hypofunction. Besides medication-related salivary hypofunction, Sjögren syndrome and head-and-neck radiation are two common etiologies that have garnered considerable attention. Approaches to treating and/or preventing salivary hypofunction in patients with these conditions will likely incorporate gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and tissue engineering. Advances in these disciplines are central to current research in the cure for xerostomia and will be key to eventual treatment. |

The iconic Canadian ball hockey rink at Kandahar Airfield, its boards adorned with faded Maple Leaf flags, has been dismantled.
A dozen Canadian embassy staff, including Ambassador Ken Neufeld and a few soldiers, played a final game of shinny last week on the concrete slab in the infield of the airfield’s boardwalk before U.S. army engineers helped take down the boards.

“I gotta say, it was a lot of fun,” Neufeld said. “But it was emotional, too.”
A Canadian soldier on his fourth tour in Afghanistan, who asked that his name not be published because of the sensitive nature of his current work, said that “to be part of the ceremony and bring those boards back, it felt like a healthy closing of a chapter.
“Strange to think we were playing hockey in the desert but there we were. It was a very positive experience. We sweated blood and tears for that place. It will always be part of me.”
The boards of the rink are to be flown to CFB Trenton to eventually be put on display at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. There have also been discussions about exhibiting some of the mementos at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. |
Integrating Social Services and Home-Based Primary Care for High-Risk Patients.
There is a consensus that our current hospital-intensive approach to care is deeply flawed. This review article describes the research evidence for developing a better system of care for high-cost, high-risk patients. It reviews the evidence that home-centered care and integration of health care with social services are the cornerstones of a more humane and efficient system. The article describes the strengths and weaknesses of research evaluating the effects of social services in addressing social determinants of health, and how social support is critical to successful acute care transition programs. It reviews the history of incorporating social services into care management, and the prospects that recent payment reforms and regulatory initiatives can succeed in stimulating the financial integration of social services into new care coordination initiatives. The article reviews the literature on home-based primary care for the chronically ill and disabled, and suggests that it is the emergence of this care modality that holds the greatest promise for delivery system reform. In the hope of stimulating further discussion and debate, the authors summarize existing viewpoints on how a home-centered system, which integrates social and medical services, might emerge in the next few years. |

Slipline® PRS
SlipLine®—trademarked and engineered by BlueFin—is a pipeline remediation solution that combines ingenuity and technical bench strength to solve routine, problematic occurrences with flowline integrity. In a search for measures that would provide economical rehabilitation, BlueFin devised an asset-saving procedure that allows for a high-pressure composite pipe to be placed inside a carbon steel pipeline. This procedure has multiple points of value: bi-directional flow for gas lift needs, bi-directional flow for chemical injection points, and secondary flowline containment for degraded pipelines. The worth-capacity of this service rests solely on application expertise, which allows for tremendous cost benefit and mitigation of environmental impact for sensitive geographical areas. |

abstract: 'Language is a social phenomenon and variation is inherent to its social nature. Recently, there has been a surge of interest within the computational linguistics (CL) community in the social dimension of language. In this article we present a survey of the emerging field of ‘Computational Sociolinguistics’ that reflects this increased interest. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of CL research on sociolinguistic themes, featuring topics such as the relation between language and social identity, language use in social interaction and multilingual communication. Moreover, we demonstrate the potential for synergy between the research communities involved, by showing how the large-scale data-driven methods that are widely used in CL can complement existing sociolinguistic studies, and how sociolinguistics can inform and challenge the methods and assumptions employed in CL studies. We hope to convey the possible benefits of a closer collaboration between the two communities and conclude with a discussion of open challenges.'

Optical biosensors to analyze novel biomarkers in oncology.
Many cancer types are characterized by poor survival and unpredictable therapy response. Easy-to-perform molecular analyses may help patient stratification and treatment tailoring. Several integrated devices have been proposed to overcome current analysis equipment limitations. They offer improved sensitivity and easy availability of parallel detection. Particularly, unlabelled optical biosensors combine the manifold advantages of integrated sensors (e.g. easy handling, portability and low-volume requirement) with detection of target molecules in their original form. Here, we review integrated optical biosensor current features, and discuss their possible application to the detection of protein variants from body fluids, with particular regard to histone modifications. Indeed, histone post-translational modifications are a set of epigenetic markers frequently deregulated in cancer. Available technology does not allow a comprehensive analysis of all histone modifications in a single patient. Thus, label-free optical biosensors may pave the way to the discovery and detection of a novel class of biomarkers in oncology. |
Q:
The optimal way to reverse engineer a binary classification problem
I am not sure if this question is more suitable for CS, theoretical CS or math so feel free to improve the description and migrate it.
In a scenario very similar to popular binary classification machine learning contests, competitors are required to submit their answers to the test set containing N data points. The accuracy of the submission will be announced. The competitors can then submit a new answer, and the new accuracy will always be published, no matter improved or not.
If the competitor has no information about the test set at all, what is the optimal way (in the sense that the least submissions are needed) to crack the challenge?
A:
Your problem is tackled in Vaishampayan, Query Matrices for Retrieving Binary Vectors Based on the Hamming Distance Oracle. Vaishampayan relates this problem to one considered in Lev and Yuster, On the size of dissociated bases, and the upshot (if I understand things correctly) is that a random test set of size $O(N/\log N)$ (for an appropriate hidden constant) would do if you don't care about carrying the decoding procedure efficiently. Vaishampayan describes a more structured solution using $o(N)$ tests which can be implemented efficiently.

Q:
$http.get and $templateCache
Could someone explain to me the following code:
$http.get('./template.html', {
cache: $templateCache
}).then (function(response){
console.log(response.data);
});
I understand response.data will be equal to the whole content of template.html, however what about the object
{cache: $templateCache}
What does it do?
A:
Here is a line from documentation for $http service:
cache – {boolean|Object} – A boolean value or object created with $cacheFactory to enable or disable caching of the HTTP response. See $http Caching for more information.
So by specifying {cache: $templateCache} you tell Angular to cache HTTP response in internal cache data map, accessible as $templateCache service. It means that if you request ./template.html again with $http.get or by using template as source in ngInclude directive, it will not be redownloaded but will be retrieved from cache.

Tips – My Most Valuable Advice
One of the suitable regions of residence in Huntsville. You should find a reputable Huntsville new homes for sale to facilitate your relocation to Huntsville. If you are looking for a new home then you should be guided by certain important factors otherwise you might not enjoy your stay in the region. The article aims to inform you of some of the tips for buying a house in Huntsville. First, you should check if you can afford the house.
The location of the house that you want should also be taken into consideration. The location should be decided upon based on the social amenities that you will be in need of. Areas such as market and schools should be accessible without incurring any cost. The house should be located in a secure area. This way, you will get to minimize the amount of money that you will spend on transportation. If you do not have a car, then the house should be near to public transportation means.
The other tip is knowing the distance of the house from nearby school and the workplace. The most suitable house should be at a walkable distance away from school and workplace or business premise. In the end, you will lower the time and money consumed. The number of rooms in the house should also correspond with the size of your family. The luxury and comfort of the house is usually proportional to the size. You should also take into consideration the future growth of your family. There are probabilities that your house will get small as your family gets big. Therefore, ensure the house that you buy will meet your future needs concerning size.
The terms of payment of the house is also another factor to consider. If you are not in a position to pay for the house in cash, you should look for the most convenient terms of payment. For mortgages, the down payment and the installment should be set a limit that you can afford. With an affordable down payment and regular installments you will be able to pay for the house without experiencing financial difficulties and constraints.
The length of time that you are planning to stay in the house is also another factor to consider. You should choose to rent instead of buying if you intend to live for a few years. If you want to occupy the house for a limited duration then buying will be a waste of money. Therefore, you should ask the seller to provide you with the cost of both renting and buying so that you can compare. By considering the above-discussed factors you will find a suitable house and enjoy your stay in Huntsville.

Nature's Best Photography: Antelope Canyon, Ariz.
Peter Lik’s photograph of Antelope Canyon is today’s featured picture from Nature’s Best Photography. Click the related links below to see more amazing nature photography.
Peter Lik / Nature's Best Photography
Located near the border between Utah and northern Arizona, the tranquil Antelope Canyon is named for the herds of wild pronghorn that roamed the area long ago. Water running through the sandstone over the past millennia has sculpted graceful passageways, where shafts of light occasionally shine down from “slots” above.
Photographer Peter Lik said:“The biggest lesson I have learned in photography is that timing is everything. No matter how perfect your technique and equipment, if you aren’t in the right place at the right time, you simply won’t get the shot. In the underground caves of Antelope Canyon, I knew the summer sun would pass directly overhead at midday. As my only opportunity for the shot approached, a narrow sliver of light beamed down through a keyhole onto the sandy canyon floor. At the precise moment I clicked the shutter, my Navajo Indian guide threw a handful of dust into the light. It wasn’t until weeks later, when I finally got to review the results of the shoot, that I was able to see the ghostlike human form that emerged." |
Firmware Support Enables Fast Boot Implementations: Product Brief
Firmware Support Enables Fast Boot Implementations: Product Brief
Intel® Firmware Support Package (Intel® FSP) provides key firmware components for initializing Intel silicon, including the processor, memory controller, chipset, and certain bus interfaces, as needed. It can be easily integrated into a boot loader of the developer’s choice, such as coreboot*, Wind River VxWorks*, BIOS, Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), Linux,* and open source firmware. Intel® FSP is easy to adopt, economical to build, and scalable to design, thereby reducing time-to-market. As it is not a stand-alone boot loader, it must be integrated with a host boot loader infrastructure to carry out other functions. This includes initializing non-Intel components, conducting bus enumeration, and discovering devices in the system.

This invention pertains to new and improved operable wall systems. More specifically it is directed to operable wall systems which are particularly adapted to include and/or use comparatively heavy and/or large wall panels.
The expressions "operable wall" and "operable wall system" are currently utilized to designate walls or partitions capable of being manipulated so as to divide a comparatively large room or space into two separate rooms or spaces and which are also, of course, capable of being manipulated so as to join two separate rooms or spaces into a single larger room or space. These operable walls or wall systems are commonly utilized in many different applications. They are frequently employed in connection with comparatively large meeting or banquet halls because they enable those responsible for the management of such establishments to provide either comparatively large or comparatively small rooms or spaces as needed in particular circumstances.
Such operable walls or operable wall systems have been constructed in a number of different ways. Virtually all of such operable walls or wall sytems include a type of track structure or track means, a plurality of elongated wall panels having upper edges generally adjacent to the track structure and a plurality of trolleys connecting the upper edge of the wall panels with the track structure in such a manner so as to permit the wall system to be manipulated between an open or unfolded configuration in which the panels are located in substantially an edge to edge relationship so as to define or form a partition or wall and a closed or folded configuration in which the panels are located adjacent to one another in a stacked or side by side orientation.
It is not considered that an understanding of the present invention requires a detailed discussion of all of the various different operable walls or wall systems which have been constructed so as to utilize parts as are described in the preceding connected or associated so as to obtain the mode of operation briefly indicated in this discussion. Most commonly, prior operable wall systems have utilized a single trolley in association with each wall panel employed in the system. Normally these trolleys have been located along the upper edges of the wall panels and the panels have been joined in edge to edge relationship by hinges or similar elements connecting the side edges of the panels.
Structures of this type are unquestionably highly utilitarian in many applications. However, structures of this type are not considered to be particularly desirable for use in operable walls or wall systems where, for one reason or another, it is necessary to utilize comparatively large and or heavy wall or similar panels. The reasons for this are also not discussed in this specification because it is considered that an understanding of this invention is unrelated to a detailed understanding of problems and complications encountered in connection with the particular type of prior known operable walls or operable wall systems noted in the prior discussion. It is considered important to note, however, that the present invention is related to a recognition of a need for new and improved operable walls or wall systems which can be utilized with comparatively large and/or heavy wall panels. |

This invention relates to the field of genetic markers for disease.
In most cases the complex genetic contribution to cancer and other disease susceptibility remains to be elucidated. Efforts have focused on identification of potentially pathogenetic allelic variants of individual candidate loci. To increase the probability of identifying such variants, this invention focuses on interaction of candidate loci. According to this invention, it is a candidate locus interaction, rather than simply a candidate gene inquiry, that serves as the principal means of discovery. |

Despite clear evidence supporting the effectiveness of cannabis at treating a variety of conditions, the plant has long been classified as a Schedule I drug by the US government, painting it as a substance with a high risk of abuse and no accepted medical use. Recently, however, the FDA submitted a recommendation to the DEA to review the plant’s current status, perhaps an indication that the federal government is considering a change to this outdated and erroneous classification.
The catch: nobody except the FDA and DEA knows what that change would be and what information it will be based on.
Perhaps this is a sign that the FDA and DEA are beginning to cave under the pressure of the general public, the majority of whom support legalization. Given the DEA’s horrible track record with cannabis and patients who use it, however, the secretive nature of this decision is concerning. When considering a change to a drug’s classification via the Controlled Substances Act, the government must take into account a thorough medical and scientific review.
With the closed-door nature of the process, the general public will not know what new information is being considered and what the proposed new classification will be until after the decision has been made.
In an interview with Marijuana.com, who first broke the story, Mike Liszewski of Americans for Safe Access said, “We hope the agencies will become more transparent and give medical marijuana patients the respect they deserve.”

[Influence of physical activity on quality of life in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis].
The present study aimed to conduct a review on the association between exercise and quality of life in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. A search was performed in PubMed, SciELO, SpringerLink and Sport Discus databases to identify relevant articles that addressed this association. We used the following descriptors in the English and Portuguese languages: osteoporosis, exercise, menopause, women, physical activity, quality of life/osteoporose, exercício físico, menopausa, mulheres, atividade física, qualidade de vida. Regarding quality of life and physical aspects like muscle strength and balance, with the exception of two studies, all others have reported improvement in quality of life and in physical domain of participants. Intervention with exercise has proved essential to improving the quality of life of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Activities that aim at the improvement of muscle strength and balance are essential to prevent falls, and consequently to reduce the incidence of fractures in this population. |

# Packer Plugins
Plugins allow new functionality to be added to Packer without
modifying the core source code. Packer plugins are able to add new
commands, builders, provisioners, hooks, and more. In fact, much of Packer
itself is implemented by writing plugins that are simply distributed with
Packer. For example, all the commands, builders, provisioners, and more
that ship with Packer are implemented as Plugins that are simply hardcoded
to load with Packer.
This page will cover how to install and use plugins. If you're interested
in developing plugins, the documentation for that is available the
[developing plugins](/docs/extend/developing-plugins.html) page.
Because Packer is so young, there is no official listing of available
Packer plugins. Plugins are best found via Google. Typically, searching
"packer plugin _x_" will find what you're looking for if it exists. As
Packer gets older, an official plugin directory is planned.
## How Plugins Work
Packer plugins are completely separate, standalone applications that the
core of Packer starts and communicates with.
These plugin applications aren't meant to be run manually. Instead, Packer core executes
these plugin applications in a certain way and communicates with them.
For example, the VMware builder is actually a standalone binary named
`packer-builder-vmware`. The next time you run a Packer build, look at
your process list and you should see a handful of `packer-` prefixed
applications running.
## Installing Plugins
Plugins are installed by modifying the [core Packer configuration](/docs/other/core-configuration.html). Within
the core configuration, each component has a key/value mapping of the
plugin name to the actual plugin binary.
For example, if we're adding a new builder for CustomCloud, the core
Packer configuration may look like this:
<pre class="prettyprint">
{
"builders": {
"custom-cloud": "packer-builder-custom-cloud"
}
}
</pre>
In this case, the "custom-cloud" type is the type that is actually used for the value
of the "type" configuration key for the builder definition.
The value, "packer-builder-custom-cloud", is the path to the plugin binary.
It can be an absolute or relative path. If it is not an absolute path, then
the binary is searched for on the PATH. In the example above, Packer will
search for `packer-builder-custom-cloud` on the PATH.
After adding the plugin to the core Packer configuration, it is immediately

Q:
How to extract public key from a .Net DLL in C#?
I want to extract public key, not public key token, in C# from a autenticode signed .Net DLL?
A:
To get a public key from an Autenticode signed .Net library use the following code:
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("dll_file_name");
X509Certificate certificate = assembly.ManifestModule.GetSignerCertificate();
byte[] publicKey = certificate.GetPublicKey();
But this will work only if the certificate was installed into Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Otherwise, GetSignerCertificate() returns null.
The second way allows to get a certificate even if it isn't in Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
X509Certificate executingCert = X509Certificate.CreateFromSignedFile("dll_file_name");
byte[] publicKey = certificate.GetPublicKey();

Careful selection of sample dilution and factor-V-deficient plasma makes the modified activated protein C resistance test highly specific for the factor V Leiden mutation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate critically the recently modified activated-partial-thromboplastin-time (APTT)-based activated protein C (APC)-resistance tests, which are more specific for the factor V Leiden mutation than the first generation APC-resistance tests. The only modification to these tests is the predilution of the plasma sample in factor-V-deficient plasma. The intended effect of this predilution is to bring the concentrations of all clotting factors, except factor V, to the same normal levels. This, in principle, makes the tests also suitable for assaying the plasma of patients treated with oral anticoagulants and heparin, or of patients with a lupus anticoagulant. However, not every factor-V-deficient plasma is suitable for this application. Because the factor V:factor VIII ratio is important in establishing the APC ratio, the factor-V-deficient plasma should contain a sufficiently high factor VIII concentration. We also found that the optimal dilution to obtain the same APC ratios for patients, whether or not treated with coumarins or heparin, is not the same for each test or factor-V-deficient plasma. We compared two modified APTT-based APC-resistance tests (one developed in our laboratory and one commercial) with respect to their ability to discriminate between carriers and non-carriers of the factor V Leiden mutation. Both modified tests gave complete separation of carriers and non-carriers of the factor V Leiden mutation whether or not they are treated with anticoagulants. This makes these tests very suitable for routine screening. |

The gaming industry, like the voiceover industry or the genre fiction industry is not very big, when you really get down to it. In fact, among creators, the overlap between "industry" and "community" makes almost a perfect circle. Everyone pretty much knows everyone else, and good news travels as quickly as bad.
Yesterday, one of the truly great people in the gaming industry, who I think we all believed had reached maximum character level, surprised us all and leveled up a little bit more:
If you know of Dork Tower, then you’re already squee-ing in excitement right alongside us. If you don’t know what Dork Tower is, then either you’re about to add a new layer of happiness to the Photoshop composite of your life, or you’re slowly beginning to realize you didn’t click through to the Monkey Bites blog.
Dork Tower has, in its decade of life, existed as a standalone comic book, a featured comic in Dragon, Scrye and Games magazines, and one of the earliest regular webcomics online. Its creator, John Kovalic, is also the illustrator and co-creator of world-renown games Munchkin and Apples to Apples. But perhaps his greatest creation is his new daughter, whose existence has transformed him from a simple, Bruce Banner–like comics and game illustrator, into a hulking green(bay) GeekDad. Which is where we come in.
This is kind of like my favorite indie television show getting picked up by a major network. It's such a perfect match, I can't believe nobody ever thought of it before. You know those people who are so delighted to be a parent, they sort of jingle and glow and levitate off the ground with joy when they talk about their kids? That's John. You know those guys who you know you can speak to in the most obscure geek dialect, secure in the knowledge that they'll grok you? That's John.
Congratulations to John and GeekDad, and to all their individual readers who are about to discover an awesome new level of the dungeon to explore. |
Effects of hyaluronidase, trypsin, and EDTA on surface composition and topography during detachment of cells in culture.
Cultured human embryo fibroblasts (HLM18) were labeled with [3H]glucosamine and Na35SO4, and then treated with testicular hyaluronidase, trypsin, or EDTA. Macromolecular material from the surface of these cells was characterized by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and cetylpyridinium chloride precipitation while the associated morphology of cell detachment was studied by phase contrast and scanning electron microscopy. Release of surface glycosaminoglycans by testicular hyaluronidase did not cause cell rounding or detachment. EDTA did not release cell-surface components, but caused cell contraction and detachment morphologically similar to that caused by trypsin. Large amounts of cell-surface glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans were released by trypsin. From these observations it is concluded that hyaluronic acid is not a principal adhesive agent in the attachment of cells to a substrate. It is suggested that both EDTA and trypsin may have their primary effect upon the cytoskeleton. |
Q:
Drop down menu flickering except in firefox
I'm having a problem similar to this one Drop Down Box Keeps flickering - JQuery and CSS with a drop down menu flickering when I move the mouse over it, except that it doesn't seem to happen in firefox. I put an alert in the mouseout event I have on it and found out that every time I moved from one <li> to another inside the menu the alert was triggered. Here is the important parts of the html code behind it.
<!--// HEADER BAR //-->
<div id="header">
<!--// NAVIGATION LINKS //-->
<div id="navigation">
<!--// AUTHENTICATED //-->
<div id="options" class="authenticated">
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript: toggleAccount()" class="account" title="Account">/</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!--// ACCOUNT MENU //-->
<div id="account_container" style="display: none;" onmouseout="hideAccount();">
<div id="account">
<ul>
<li>Options...</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As you can see, the "account_container" div is the drop down menu. It first appears when the user clicks on the account li under authenticated and disappears either when the user clicks on the li again or mouses out. The navigation div has it's height set to 40px in the css, so I thought it might be a positioning problem like in the linked question, but setting the height to auto didn't fix it, and I can't take the account container out of the navigation bar because that will mess up it's positioning. Why is the browser detecting the shift from one menu item to another as a mouseout event and how can I prevent it?
EDIT:
Could I do something like Andy E's answer to this question? Could I change onmouseout="hideAccount()" to onmouseout="hideAccount.call(this)" and detect if the mouse is over a child element of the dropdown inside the hideAccount function? If so, how would I go about that? For reference, here's the hideAccount function:
function hideAccount(){
//alert("mouse out!");
$(".account_container").hide();
}
A:
Solved it by changing the hideAccount function to this:
function hideAccount(event){
var to = event.relatedTarget || event.toElement;
if(this.contains(to)){
return;
}
else{
$(this).hide();
}
}
The problem was that every browser except Firefox was detecting the move from the account_container to any of it's children as a mouseout. Technically, when the mouse is over one of the list elements inside the container, it is no longer over the container itself for some reason. I guess firefox was the only browser to check if the mouse had moved into a child element before hiding. What fixed it was putting in javascript to check to see if I was moving to a child element before trying to hide.

Symmetrical lateralization of function in the auditory system of the cat: effects of unilateral ablation of cortex.
We have presented behavioral evidence suggesting that one function of auditory cortex is to attend to stimuli at the contralateral ear. Further, behavioral and anatomic evidence shows that the neural mechanisms for this function probably depend on a pathway that crosses at the level of the medulla, bypasses the superior olive, and ascends to the contralateral inferior colliculus. At higher centers there are several auditory pathways from thalamus to cortex, as well as descending pathways from cortex, and some of these pathways may play a role in selective listening with one ear. |
Q:
Should interlocked implementations based on CompareExchange use SpinWait?
Below is an implementation of an interlocked method based on Interlocked.CompareExchange.
Is it advisable for this code to use a SpinWait spin before reiterating?
public static bool AddIfLessThan(ref int location, int value, int comparison)
{
int currentValue;
do
{
currentValue = location; // Read the current value
if (currentValue >= comparison) return false; // If "less than comparison" is NOT satisfied, return false
}
// Set to currentValue+value, iff still on currentValue; reiterate if not assigned
while (Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref location, currentValue + value, currentValue) != currentValue);
return true; // Assigned, so return true
}
I have seen SpinWait used in this scenario, but my theory is that it should be unnecessary. After all, the loop only contains a handful of instructions, and there is always one thread making progress.
Say that two threads are racing to perform this method, and the first thread succeeds right away, whereas the second thread initially makes no change and has to reiterate. With no other contenders, is it at all possible for the second thread to fail on its second attempt?
If the example's second thread cannot fail on the second attempt, then what might we gain with a SpinWait? Shaving off a few cycles in the unlikely event that a hundred threads are racing to perform the method?
A:
My non-expert opinion is that in this particular case, where two threads occasionally call AddIfLessThan, a SpinWait is unneeded. It could be beneficial in case the two threads were both calling AddIfLessThan in a tight loop, so that each thread could make progress uninterrupted for some μsec.
Actually I made an experiment and measured the performance of one thread calling AddIfLessThan in a tight loop versus two threads. The two threads need almost four times more to make the same number of loops (cumulatively). Adding a SpinWait to the mix makes the two threads only slightly slower than the single thread.

Kan't Fail Kale......by Joyce Oroz
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you greenery, better known as vegetables. Your Mama pushed them on you, your doctor pushes them and your grocer peddles them. I recently met a new vegetable friend … rather stand-offish, deep green and curly. Turns out—lots of people have run into my friend, kale. In fact, these people have convinced me that I should eat kale for good health. Great. How does one eat Kale? After a bit of experimentation, I came up with a delicious way to prepare this new mineral-packed vegetable. Here is my recipe for Kan’t Fail Kale………makes two servings—double it if you want more.
Combine all ingredients in sauce pan, cover and simmer until kale is limp—five to ten minutes.
Kale BasicsIn Season: Kale turns sweeter in cold weather, so it's at its best from mid-fall through early spring.What to Look For: Choose kale with firm, deep-green leaves, avoiding any that are wilted or have yellow spots.How to Store: Keep kale in the coldest part of your refrigerator, loosely wrapped in a plastic bag. Though it seems like a sturdy vegetable, kale will quickly wilt and turn bitter |
Q:
communicating with SAS datasets from R
I have a bunch of datasets that are in SAS format. I would like to avoid using SAS since I think R provides more than enough functionality for me. Therefore, is there a package that would allow me to interact with the SAS datasets from R? I have the SAS software installed but I would like to avoid coding things in multiple languages.
A:
Since you have SAS, you can use Frank Harrell's 'Hmisc' package which has sas.get and sasxport.get functions. It also has a bunch of utility functions: label,sas.get, contents,describe. For those without a SAS license, package 'foreign' has read.ssd, lookup.xport, and read.xport.
EDIT1: I will also mention that Anthony Joseph Damico recently announced a package to parse SAS INPUT code into read.fwf code. From its description file: " Using importation code designed for SAS users to read ASCII files into sas7bdat files, the SAScii package parses through the INPUT block of a (.sas) syntax file to design the parameters needed for a read.fwf() function call."
EDIT2: There is also a package by Matt Shotwell called 'sas7bdat' with read.sas7bdat(file) that describes its function as " Read SAS files in the sas7bdat data format."
