Kinetic adsorption energy distributions of rough surfaces: a computational study.
The adsorption energy distribution usually refers to localized monolayers of adsorbate at thermodynamic equilibrium. Many papers have been published that analyze its influence on adsorption isotherms, heats of adsorption, and adsorption kinetics. However, the adsorption energy distribution, in its classical thermodynamic equilibrium sense, may be not as useful as expected. This is because many important processes involving adsorption have dynamic character and reactant particles have a finite time for penetration of the adsorbent. The above suggests that some adsorption centers located in less accessible fragments of the surface can be invisible in a dynamic process. However, under conditions allowing the thermodynamic equilibrium such adsorption centers could noticeably contribute to the adsorption energy distribution. The aim of this work is to measure the adsorption energy distributions of special rough surfaces using a dynamic method. This method is based on the molecular dynamics simulation of an ideal gas flowing over a sample surface. The ideal gas particles penetrate the surface, and at the moment of collision of a gas particle with the surface the Lennard-Jones potential energy is calculated. This energy can be identified with the adsorption energy at a given point on the surface. The surfaces used in the calculations have been created using two surface growth models (i.e., random deposition and ballistic deposition). The application of these highly disordered surfaces enables us to draw some general conclusions about the properties of real surfaces that are usually far from any deterministic geometry. |
Industrial vacuum equipment has dozens of wet and dry uses such as locating underground utilities (potholing), hydro excavation, air excavation and vacuum excavation. In addition, the equipment can be used for directional drilling slurry removal, industrial clean-up, waste clean-up, lateral and storm drain clean-out, oil spill clean-up and other natural disaster clean-up applications, signs and headstone setting, for example. The vacuum systems may be mounted to a truck or trailer and are typically powered by gas or diesel engines. The material is vacuumed up and stored in a storage tank. From there, the material may be hauled away and disposed or the tank is emptied by opening a rear hatch and dumped in a pile at the site. In addition, outside material may be imported to the location of the hole for backfill. Workers move the material by hand from the pile and fill in the excavation and holes as needed. A shortcoming of the prior art is the inefficiency and difficulty to fill the excavation (or holes) easily, quickly and with precision. Accordingly, what is needed is a method and system to excavate and fill that can both excavate material and selectively return the fill material to a site in a controlled manner. |
Manisha
Manisha is the Hindu goddess of the mind. When used in this context, it symbolizes intelligence and desire. Manisha = Mann + Iccha according to Sandhi Vicched in Hindi, which means my wish.
Category:Hindu goddesses
The word Manisha also represents the sacred Sanskrit of Bundhu-khaka. This represents all well-being in the body of a gungru showing enlightenment and happiness.
The Hindu upanishad also describes the theory of Manisha. |
Return::Type allows you to specify a return type for your subs. Type constraints
from any Type::Tiny, MooseX::Types or MouseX::Types type library are supported.
The simple syntax for specifying a type constraint is shown in the "SYNOPSIS".
If the attribute is passed a single type constraint as shown, this will be
applied to the return value if called in scalar context, and to each item in the
returned list if called in list context. (If the sub is called in void context,
type constraints are simply ignored.)

Harold & Kumar Duo Helm Fourth “Pie”
Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the creators of the “Harold and Kumar” films, have signed on to both pen and direct a fourth “American Pie” for Universal Pictures says Risky Biz Blog.
Producer Chris Weitz revealed last month that the project, entitled “American Reunion”, is trying to get as many former cast members back as possible with many of the actors apparently showing a strong interest in returning (though no deals are in place yet). Story details are under wraps.
Due to their commitment, Hurwitz and Schlossberg will likely bow out of directing “A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas” with newcomer Todd Strauss Schulson already being mentioned as a potential replacement. That film will start shooting this Summer. |
In stereoscopy using a stereo camera system, a stereoscopic image pair can be obtained from two types of camera arrangements such as parallel and converging types in the camera arrangement point of view. These types are recommended to set the base distance between the two cameras to equal to interocular distance that can provide a natural depth sense. However, the distance is too big to be implemented in many application areas such as introscopy and mobile phone. In this paper, we address that the distance is one of the weighted factors inducing depth distortion under orthostreoscopic condition compared with the depth sense in parallel and converging types. In the experiment, we show that the distance will be a factor inducting a stereoscopic depth distortion in parallel and converging type. |
Q:
Is it possible to RenderPartial a default or error View if the specified View is not found?
I am using MVC3.
I am wondering whether it is possible to render an error View if the specified View is absent.
ie if "MyTableX" is absent:
RenderPartial("MyTableX");
would return "Error.cshtml" as the Partial View, saying something like "Partial View not found" in the page.
A:
You can do something based off of this - the trick is in getting the view path.
A missing view returns an InvalidOperationException. So we really need to determine if the view is missing or if it's caused from something different. One way is to figure out how to get the IView in the filter, cast it to a RazorView and grab the path off of it - or the 'hacky' way is to do the below code, but actually look for "the view" and "was not found" in the exceptions message. Its ugly, I know, but if you want something that works tonight, thats all I got before I head to bed, otherwise try to get the view info from that filter.
This code from Phil Haack in this link may help in trying to get the path name, a quick test yielded I wasn't able to get the IView because my filterContext.ParentActionViewContext was null.
Retrieve the current view name in ASP.NET MVC?
So I wrote this basic one, but again, anything throwing an InvalidOperationException will cause this.
Also note a missing 'MissingView.cshtml" could cause an infinite loop here (untested assumption)
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = true)]
public class ViewCheckFilterAttribute : FilterAttribute, IExceptionFilter
{
public void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
{
var exception = filterContext.Exception;
if (exception is System.InvalidOperationException)
{
//ideally here we check to ensure view doesn't exist as opposed
//to something else raising this exception
filterContext.Result = new ViewResult
{
ViewName = "~/Views/Shared/MissingView.cshtml"
};
filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true;
}
}
}

Healthy and Humane Dishes Are Great News for Compassionate Celebrities
London – PETA just received word from Anton Manganaro, head chef of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), that organisers of the annual awards ceremony (the BAFTAs) have created an extraordinary, mouth-watering, animal-free menu sure to delight vegan A-listers such as Casey Affleck, Alan Cumming, Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton, Joaquin Phoenix, and Natalie Portman .
The plant-based menu will feature a mixed-grain salad with pickled vegetables, beetroot relish, and pea shoots – and that's just the tip of the iceberg! Guests will also be offered a chickpea masala served with a croquette and coriander cress, and dessert is a coconut panna cotta with a fresh raspberry and basil salad.
"We're hailing the plant-based menu at this year's BAFTA ceremony as outstanding", says PETA Director Elisa Allen. "Nominees who don't win on the night can still be awarded a gorgeous vegan meal – which is golden for their health, animals, and the environment."
PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to eat" – notes that, in addition to sparing many animals every year the horrors of the abattoir, vegans are less prone to suffering from cancer, obesity, and diabetes than meat-eaters are. They also have a lower carbon footprint. These are just some of the reasons why millions of British people are going vegan and why the number of requests for PETA's free vegan starter kit increases every year.

Capturing linear intermediates and C-terminal variants during maturation of the thiopeptide GE2270.
Thiopeptides are ribosomally synthesized, posttranslationally modified peptides with potent activity against Gram-positives. However, only GE2270 has yielded semisynthetic derivatives under clinical investigations. The pbt gene cluster from the GE2270 producer Planobispora rosea was successfully expressed in the genetically tractable Nonomuraea ATCC39727. Gene deletions established that PbtO, PbtM1, PbtM2, PbtM3, and PbtM4 are involved in regiospecific hydroxylation and methylations of GE2270, leading to the generation of various derivatives with altered decorations. Further deletions established that PbtH and PbtG1 are involved in C-terminal amide and oxazoline formation, respectively. Surprisingly, preventing either step resulted in the accumulation of linear precursors in which the pyridine-generated macrocycle failed to form, and only one of the pyridine-forming serine residues had been dehydrated. Often, these linear precursors present a shortened C terminus but retain the full set of methylation and hydroxylation decorations. |

Q:
LINQ to SQL eager loading with conditions
I'm trying to learn LINQ to SQL and i've found out about the LoadWith function. All the examples i've found will load all records from the table you specify in the LoadWith function e.g.
var dlo = new DataLoadOptions();
dlo.LoadWith<Blog>(b => b.Posts);
this.LoadOptions = dlo;
What I would like to know is if it's possible to load in this example only the last blog post?
I've tried
dlo.LoadWith<Blog>(b => b.Posts.Max());
But it doesn't like that syntax.
A:
You can do it using AssociateWith. This will work:
var options = new DataLoadOptions();
options.AssociateWith<Blog>(b =>
b.Posts.Where(
p1 => p1.SomeColumn == b.Posts.Max(p2 => p2. SomeColumn)
));
Also, if you will be loading the info into a separate class or can use an anonymous one you can just do the query as:
var query = from b in context.Blogs
//probably some where you already have
select new MyBlogs // or with no type in case it is anonymous
{
AColumn = b.AColumn, //map any other values
LatestPost = b.Posts.Where(
p1 => p1.SomeColumn == b.Posts.Max(p2 => p2. SomeColumn)
)).ToList()
}

Everyone at one time has misplaced their keys or became confused regarding what the key unlocked. Keys may be misplaced by busy mothers, fathers, students or any person who carries keys from their home, workplace, or other locations. Misplaced keys may be dropped, misplaced, or placed somewhere by the person that owns the keys. Misplaced keys result in having to rekey the lock, replace spare keys, and programming new keys.
Keys may also be utilized by real estate companies, brokers, sellers, buyers, renters, and family residents. Agents and sellers struggle to collect all the keys in a timely manner. Buyers struggle to get and identify all the keys that should be transferred to them from the seller. Keys may be utilized for entrance doors, garages, storage sheds, lawn mowers, equipment, and mailboxes. Proper and relatively easy identification and distinguishing of keys is also a critical problem as well.
Current key rings and key organizers are noisy, clunky, and time-consuming to fumble with to find the right keys to use, particularly if one has not used the key in a prior instance. Each key is typically not labelled, so it may take several attempts to match the correct key to the locked structure or vehicle. Additionally, if the key rings get lost, it may be extremely difficult to replace the entire set of keys on the key rings or organizers.
For the foregoing reasons, a key organization apparatus would be very useful to a wide spectrum of users, primarily anyone that may utilize any keys. A solution to the problem of misplaced keys and secure key storage is therefore needed by providing a key organization apparatus that physically organizes keys in one physical place.
Accordingly, a key organization apparatus is disclosed, which includes a sheet with labelled pockets. |

"The assertions about Russia’s ostensible striving to weaken or to split Europe are absurd," he said. "We have spoken continually for a buildup of broad and equitable cooperation on the European continent that along the principle of equal and indivisible security."
"President Vladimir Putin’s well-known initiative to set up a common economic and humanitarian space from the Atlantic to the Pacific also aims to attain this objective," Lavrov said.
European politicians
Russia prefers not to characterize popular European politicians as populists and not to put such labels on them, Lavrov said.
"We try not to think in this way, in this paradigm of notions," he noted. "Of course, I would prefer not to use labels of this kind, I would say that we are talking about the politicians who are voted in by the majority of European citizens," the Russian minister added. "This means that with their ideas and action programs, the politicians managed to respond to the voters’ needs and to offer their methods of resolving the issues that Europe is currently facing."
"From a practical viewpoint, it is important to understand that Russian foreign policy does not have an ideological agenda, and the main criteria for estimating our partners is their readiness to develop equal and mutual relations with Russia basing on international law and mutual respect of each other’s interests," Lavrov continued. "In this sense, we do not care too much about the party or ideological affiliation of certain political forces that came into power as a result of the citizen’s democratic choice."
At the same time, the minister noted that "Russia is a European country itself, and the European Union is not only its neighbor, but also a key trade and economic partner." "Of course, we care about what happens "at our gates," he stated. "That is why we monitor the political and social processes taking place in European states."
According to him, Russia is "open for constructive cooperation with all interested partners, not only in Europe." "Moreover, we are ready to cooperate to the extent that our partners agree on," Lavrov stressed. "In this spirit, we welcome the commitment of many European countries’ governments, including Slovakia, to maintain dialogue with Russia based on mutual respect. I am sure that the overwhelming majority of European citizens are interested in a peaceful and prosperous continent, and do not wish to go back to the confrontation of the Cold War period.". |
Rev-erbalpha, a heme sensor that coordinates metabolic and circadian pathways.
The circadian clock temporally coordinates metabolic homeostasis in mammals. Central to this is heme, an iron-containing porphyrin that serves as prosthetic group for enzymes involved in oxidative metabolism as well as transcription factors that regulate circadian rhythmicity. The circadian factor that integrates this dual function of heme is not known. We show that heme binds reversibly to the orphan nuclear receptor Rev-erbalpha, a critical negative component of the circadian core clock, and regulates its interaction with a nuclear receptor corepressor complex. Furthermore, heme suppresses hepatic gluconeogenic gene expression and glucose output through Rev-erbalpha-mediated gene repression. Thus, Rev-erbalpha serves as a heme sensor that coordinates the cellular clock, glucose homeostasis, and energy metabolism. |
Pearly penile papules: treatment with the carbon dioxide laser.
Pearly penile papules are frequently occurring lesions located over the corona and sulcus of the penis. They are asymptomatic and are considered to be acral angiofibromas. Some individuals, disturbed by their presence, request removal of the lesions. Even after patients are assured of the benign nature of the process and its relatively high incidence, prominent lesional involvement may still cause significant psychological distress. Two patients with pearly penile papules have been successfully treated with the carbon dioxide laser. A review of the literature and description of treated cases are presented. |
Enzymatic processing of uracil glycol, a major oxidative product of DNA cytosine.
A major stable oxidation product of DNA cytosine is uracil glycol (Ug). Because of the potential of Ug to be a strong premutagenic lesion, it is important to assess whether it is a blocking lesion to DNA polymerase as is its structural counterpart, thymine glycol (Tg), and to evaluate its pairing properties. Here, a series of oligonucleotides containing Ug or Tg were prepared and used as templates for a model enzyme, Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I Klenow fragment (exo-). During translesion DNA synthesis, Ug was bypassed more efficiently than Tg in all sequence contexts examined. Furthermore, only dAMP was incorporated opposite template Ug and Tg and the kinetic parameters of incorporation showed that dAMP was inserted opposite Ug more efficiently than opposite Tg. Ug opposite G and A was also recognized and removed in vitro by the E. coli DNA repair glycosylases, endonuclease III (endo III), endonuclease VIII (endo VIII), and formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase. The steady state kinetic parameters indicated that Ug was a better substrate for endo III and formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase than Tg; for endonuclease VIII, however, Tg was a better substrate. |
Q:
Unity3D removing project references in MonoDevelop
I am trying to use Mono.Data.Sqlite in my Assembly-CSharp-firstpass project. In MonoDevellop, I right click on the project, edit references, and add Mono.Data.Sqlite to the references. If I build from Mono, everything goes smoothly and and no errors are produced.
When I move back to Unity3D, I always get the error saying that Mono.Data.Sqlite cannot be found. If I then close Unity + Mono and reopen both, the reference to Mono.Data.Sqlite is gone!
Anyone know what is going on?
A:
So after further Googling and Doc reading:
Unity3D rebuilds the project files every time something changes in the Scene/Assets. This means that the added references were being reset and they couldn't be found by Unity.
The solution is to find the needed DLLs (Mono.Data.Sqlite in my case) and copy them to the Asset folder of the project.

Increasingly, people are collaborating around the globe on a variety of media, including presentations, documents, videos, graphs and photographs. Generally, large flat panel displays in a conference room are an excellent source to view media including Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations. Additionally, some furniture may include touch screen input devices so users can view video directly on the surface of a table top. Often such large items are very expensive and provide limited support for collaboration between users in remote locations. Individuals would benefit from being able to break free from these restrictions and gain a big screen virtual or augmented reality experience that is shared between both co-located users and remote users. |

This relates to a system for facilitating spatial positioning including a work space or work site, such as for example a construction site or elsewhere. For example, when the interior of a building is being finished, there is a need to determine the location of various interior features, such as the proper location of walls, windows, and doors. There are a large number of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC components that must be properly sited. Further, beams, joists, ceilings, tiles, shelves, cabinets, and other similar components that must be accurately positioned. After the construction of the interior of the building begins, positioning of various components must be accomplished quickly and with some precision with respect to the surrounding walls, ceilings and floors as they are roughed in. Typically, it has required a significant amount of labor to lay out construction points at a construction site. Teams of workers have been needed to measure and mark various locations. It will be appreciated that this process has been subject to errors, both from measurement mistakes and from accumulated errors which compound as measurements are made from one intermediate point to another. A number of tools have been developed to facilitate this process, although many of these tools are somewhat complicated to use, and require careful attention to achieve the desired accuracy.
Ranging radios offer an excellent alternative to GPS receivers for positioning applications where GPS reception is not available, such as inside a building, or where use of GPS receivers is not reliable. For example, GPS receivers require line-of-sight access to multiple satellites in order to function properly. This may not be possible in some operational settings, such as when work is being performed indoors, underground, or in cluttered environments.
Ranging radios, operating at ultra wideband (UWB) frequencies, provide very accurate measurement of distances between the radios, using time-of-flight analysis. When ranging is accomplished from multiple fixed position radios to a target radio, the relative, three-dimensional position of the target radio is accomplished through trilateration. To perform a range measurement, an originating ranging radio transmits a packet consisting of a synchronization preamble and a header. The header contains the range command with the address of the destination radio that is requested to respond to the packet. The originating radio resets its main counter at the time of this transmission, establishing a local time-zero reference. When the destination ranging radio receives the range request addressed to it, it records the time of receipt, and replies with its own packet, including the time of receipt and the time of the responding transmission in the header. The originating radio receives the ranging packet back from the destination radio, records its time of receipt and latches its main counter. The range value is then calculated and recorded, utilizing the time information to compensate for the differences in the timing clocks at the two radios.
It is desirable to provide an improved system using ranging radios to determine various positions at a work site. A difficulty arises, however, in that a ranging radio may not operate properly throughout a work site, especially if positioned close to a metal surface or beam, or completely or partially shielded from the fixed, reference ranging radios.

Human beings, I love ya, but man are we disgusting. This video by Aaron Rogers lists and animates all the scientific grossness of being a human and it gets pretty gnarly. Like how many hot tubs our saliva can fill and what our eye boogers are made from and all the other nasty stuff that comes with our human body. It's an eye opener. [Vimeo] |

Topguest Founder Geoff Lewis Joins Founders Fund as Principal
Mr. Lewis has gone to the dark side. Here's what he's looking for.
Topguest, a loyalty program that relies on social media check-ins, was acquired by Switchfly in December. It took about six months before the two companies were fully integrated, which is when Topguest founder Geoff Lewis waved goodbye. Mr. Lewis, a New Yorker by way of Canada and San Francisco, joined Founders Fund—one of Topguest’s investors—as a principal last month.
“For me it was less a decision to move to the investor side broadly, and more of a decision to join Founders Fund in particular,” Mr. Lewis told Betabeat in an email. “I’m proud of what we built with Topguest, but it’s not the type of product that will dramatically change the world for the better. Coming off of Topguest, the question for me was how can I help to make a much bigger impact in a way that’s well leveraged?”
A much bigger impact in a way that’s well-leveraged. That’s entrepreneur-speak for you. At Founders Fund, Mr. Lewis will focused on consumer Internet startups with the potential to be the next Facebook or Spotify, but he’s looking for world-changing companies in any space, at any stage, with any product, and in any region, he said.
“Founders who cannot imagine doing anything other than what they’re working on right now should get in touch,” he said. He’s at Geoff@foundersfund.com or @justglew.
Founders Fund was attractive because the firm’s partners are “deeply committed to backing transformational companies that if successful, will change the world alongside becoming multi-billion dollar businesses,” he said. The fund is invested in SpaceX, for example.
“It’s no secret that being a VC is much, much easier than being an entrepreneur, yet you still get to contribute – albeit in a small way – to the creation of meaningful companies,” he said. He’s wary of the hype cycle that comes with consumer products, though, where good investments are hard to find. “I’m the lucky guy who gets to try,” he said.
“When we were seeking financing for Topguest, I was struck by how few VCs had actually co-founded and led startups themselves. That’s a problem I want to help solve,” he said.

Intermediate shafts are typically comprised of two main components: a tubular sub-assembly and a solid shaft sub-assembly. This combination allows for telescoping of the intermediate shaft so that it may be installed in a car, and potentially collapse during a crash scenario.
The solid shaft sub-assembly is traditionally made by an interference fit between a solid shaft and a yoke. The interference is typically created by forming a serration on the yoke, and forming a complimenting but slightly different serration on the solid shaft. These slightly differing serrations create an overlap of the serration flanks on the yoke to the serration flanks on the shaft. This connection holds together the yoke and shaft so that they may form the solid shaft sub-assembly.
Some solid shaft sub-assemblies may undergo a “staking” operation to add an axial retention feature after the yoke and shaft are pressed together. This feature or “stake” is a small patch of metal on the solid shaft that is deformed past the original outer diameter.
However, with some known solid shaft sub-assemblies, the serrations may be difficult to design, difficult to manufacture, and may be easily damaged. Additionally, the interference connection may be limited in the axial retention force it can withstand before failing. Because of this limited retention force, a redundant axial retention feature is required. Traditional solid shaft sub-assemblies may also encounter difficulties during assembly. For example, the required load to press the two components together may be too high or too low, the components may not press together on a parallel path, the serrations of the components may not connect as desired, or the components may not press together for the desired distance. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an improved solid shaft sub-assembly. |
Fox News is actively encouraging President Donald Trump to behave like a tyrant.
On Wednesday, the network invited Tom Fitton, president of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch — known for promoting endless scandals in the Obama administration (including Hillary Clinton's emails) — suggested that the FBI is tainted, and perhaps should be culled.

"Forget about the FBI investigation into Clinton and Trump being compromised by these conflicts. I think the FBI has been compromised. Forget about shutting down Mr. Mueller. Do we need to shut down the FBI because it was turned into a KGB-type operation by the Obama administration?" Fitton said.
Fitton's diatribe may have very well reached President Trump's ears. After all, Fitton went on his rant on Fox News, and Trump is well-known to be an inveterate consumer of television news.
Fitton pointed to the infamous Trump dossier, which Fox News has tried to wipe aside and which was initially funded by anti-Trump Republicans.

"Fusion GPS was a Hillary Clinton campaign vendor. And the Justice Department was working hand-in-glove with it. Perhaps paying it money — I think, the suspicion is they were paying them money. Top DOJ official's wife was working with them. There was no distinction between the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Department of Justice and the FBI," Fitton told Fox News.
This statement referred to reports from conservative media outlets like Fox News that Nellie Ohr, the wife of a Justice Department official, was hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to investigate Trump during last year's presidential election (they later produced a controversial dossier that compiled rumors involving Trump's alleged connections to the Russian government). Bruce Ohr was subsequently demoted in the Justice Department's investigation.
While there were exchanges between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page that described Trump as "terrifying" and insisted that Hillary Clinton "just has to win," those sentiments were hardly unusual at that time. Even Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., famously called Trump a "kook." Most notably, there was no evidence that either Strzok or Page compromised the investigation into Trump due to their pre-existing partisan sentiments.

Fitton is just the latest conservative to abandon the "law and order" priority, instead encouraging the president to thwart an investigation into his potentially illegal activities. Last week Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro called for a "cleansing" of law enforcement officials who are investigating the president.
"There is a cleansing needed in our FBI and Department of Justice — it needs to be cleansed of individuals who should not just be fired, but who need to be taken out in cuffs!" Pirro proclaimed.

New Super Mario Bros. U announcement
New Super Mario Bros. U, previously called New Super Mario Bros. Mii, shown at E3 has shown us a lot more about the game, including new powerups, abilities, and gameplay options. For starters, if four people are playing with Wiimotes, somebody with a Wii U gamepad can help them by creating blocks or doing other various things to aid in completing obstacles and getting a new highscore. Miiverse will be heavily implemented in the game, so you can show off records and chat in the midst of the game. You can also share screenshots ingame and show off you mood. Also making a return is Yoshi, with a few new abilities as well. When he hatches, you have to feed him to make him grow, much like Super Mario World for SNES. |

Antifungal therapy for onychomycosis in children.
Onychomycosis is a chronic infection of the nail unit, and its prevalence increases with age. Treatment options for children are similar to those for adults and include both oral and topical therapies. Oral agents, such as terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole have been reported to have good efficacy and a low rate of side effects in children. Topical therapies, such as amorolfine and ciclopirox, can also be used as monotherapy or combined with oral agents to treat onychomycosis. Due to their thinner, faster-growing nails, children are more likely to respond to topical monotherapy than adults. There is currently insufficient data comparing emerging medical devices, such as laser therapy, with standard therapeutic options to recommend their use in children. |

In one of our most-appreciated article about Game of Throneswe explained why Jaqen told Arya in the House of Black and White that she finally became "no one". A lot of fans wondered why Jaqen suddenly looks pleased towards the young Stark and we think we know the reason. Keep reading if you want to know more!
Jaqen's weird behaviour.
In Game of Thrones 6x08 Arya goes back to the Faceless Men's temple with a face. She killed the Waif and pinned a face to the wall, and when Jaqen shows up she says: "You told her [the Waif] to kill me". Jaqen responds: "Yes, but here you are, and there she is [referred to the face on the wall]", adding that "finally, a girl is no one".
How Arya became no one after killing the Waif if she failed to accomplish the first and the second mission Jaqen assigned her? Not to mention that she states: "I'm Arya of Winterfell" in the final scene, proving that she's always been far from abandoning her identity...
The face on the wall is Lady Crane's.
A lot of these incongruities can be explained in a very simple way. If you look carefully to the face Arya pinned on the wall you will realize it doesn't look like the Waif's face. Whose face Arya bring into the temple? We're pretty sure it's Lady Crane's: the eyebrows of the face on the wall look very similar to Lady Crane's eyebrows (click on the picture above to accessthe photogallery).
When Jaqen tells Arya: "Here you are, and there she is", he's referring to Lady Crane's face, not to the Waif's face (that wouldn't make sense!), implying that Arya finally accomplished her mission:she pinned the actress' face to the wall as Jaqen requested.
This is the only theory that makes sense.
Since we saw Arya back in Westeros, healthy and with a brand new face, it's clear that Jaqen allowedher to leaveBraavos and that the young Stark, somehow, is now free to use the Faceless Men's disguise technique. We don't know how she obtained a new face, but we know that she must have passed Jaqen's test in the House of Black and White, otherwise he will never have granted her the permission to leave and use this kind of technique.
The only possible explanation is that Arya pinned Lady Crane's face on the wall, accomplishing the mission Jaqen assigned her in Braavos. |
Building a consensus for expanding health coverage.
Despite a flourishing economy and recent growth in employment-based health coverage, forty-three million Americans remain uninsured. Extending coverage to the uninsured is not an intractable public policy problem but could be addressed if the various health care stakeholders could only find common ground. We argue that to win broad-based support from across the ideological and political spectra, a meaningful proposal should achieve a balance between public- and private-sector approaches, focus attention on those who are most in need of assistance (low-income workers), and build on systems that work today. With the aim of pulling together a political coalition, we present a proposal specific enough to attract support but whose details will arise later, in the context of the legislative process. |
Q:
Is it possible to add a title to checkboxbuttongroup objects in Bokeh?
I'm trying to create a dashboard with a number of RangeSlider and CheckboxButtonGroup widgets as filters for a ColumnDataSource object. I'm able to put a title on the RangeSliders but CheckboxButtonGroup objects don't have that attribute.
My examples are all from the widgets documentation: link here for reference
RangeSlider example, CheckboxButtonGroup example
I thought name might be the right attribute but that doesn't appear to work as I thought. Is there some sort of approach someone has implemented to get similar functionality? Or would I just be better off using a MultiSelect as it has a title and similar function?
MultiSelect example
A:
My way of giving a CheckboxButtonGroup a title is creating a seperate text widget (Div/Paragaph/PreText) and placing it above the CheckboxButtonGroup.

Category Archives: Gun violence
Last week the vice president of the NRA, Wayne Lapierre, gave a speech designed to elicit a state of perpetual militaristic panic against violent people with mental illness. He stated; “our society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters–people so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can possibly ever comprehend them.” Lapierre finds the source of gun violence in these “monsters,” and proposes we protect our children through a national database that keeps track of the mentally ill. I believe this is a terrible idea.
“Mental illness” is not a well defined concept. Looking in retrospect at someone who goes on a shooting spree, it is easy to say they are ill in the mind. But can we really predict the potential violence of a person, and is “mental illness”–a very broad and nebulous term, really the predictor we want to use? Does it make me appreciably more likely to kill people if I talk to myself, lay in bed for months with depression, struggle to empathize, experience unexplainable amounts of anxiety, or other fairly common behaviors we like to link to “mental illness?” Could mental illness actually at times be a source of strength, like having communication challenges that come from focusing on things others do not or having depression that comes from increased sensitivity to the struggles of the world?
“Mentally ill” is a label we use to marginalize people, and I know this because I have spent a lot of time worrying about my own sanity. As a wee boy I learned, as all children do, the language and logic of my parents. This language and logic outlined a spectrum of thought and behavior that was considered “crazy” which was contrasted with a spectrum of thought and behavior that was considered “normal.”
The man who went to work everyday to provide for his children was “normal.” The man who waded into water carrying a baby over his head and declaring himself to be Jesus was “crazy” (this was a news story I vaguely remember from childhood). All good boys and girls were supposed to be “normal.” Those who were within the spectrum of “crazy” were dangerous, unpredictable, liable to make bad romances, wallow in endless sorrow, and go on violent rampages. To me, the actual behavioral confines of “normal” seemed to involve wearing middle class clothing, enjoying sports (for boys) and makeup (for girls), rooting for the home team, not feeling a great need to question authority or critique society, and tending to be uncomfortable with displays of emotion (which were often associated with “imbalance”). But I had a problem because, although I did not know if I was “crazy,” I also was not “normal.”
I was a bizarrely spiritual boy. I meditated. I had mystical experiences (a sense of oneness with the universe). I did this before I knew what meditation and mystical experiences were. I came to think of myself as “talking to god,” and I heard quotes like this from Thomas Szasz; “if you talk to god, you are praying; if god talks to you, you have schizophrenia.” But the thing was… in my mind, this talking to god was a two way street. While I was engaged in mystical experience, I had many moments of clarity where I felt the wisdom of an all-connected higher mind come to me. I also had a vision when I was three where I saw an illusionary inferno that was premonitionary of a house fire that happened moments later. Now, in truth I don’t know the significance of these experiences and, increasingly over time, I don’t care. I have met many people who I know find my story very bizarre, even inconceivable. Others relate to my story. Others try to use my story, against my permission, to validate their own religious perspective. But the point here is that I grew up feeling like a damn weird kid.
I was terrified of being crazy. It haunted my dreams. I saw the word “crazy” wielded like a club that bludgeoned all the people the bludgeoner thought deserved to be dismissed. Here are some examples of what this looks like:
“Don’t listen to John, he’s just crazy,”
“if you say you take that position, people will think you are crazy,”
“[insert political or religious group you don’t like] are just a bunch of crazies”
This deep-seated fear of insanity gained deeper perspective for me when I went to a very small college with a very politically radical population, Antioch. Prior to Antioch I learned that Anarchists, Communists, and other radicals belonged in that “crazy” range of thinking. Although in retrospect I think I had a lot of leftist inclinations, I was politically what I now call a “militant moderate”–to me the middle ground was always best. I think I felt that way, in large part, because few people accuse moderates of being crazy, and I was so scared of being diminished for who I was in my head. Because of this fear I tried to embrace “normality” and, at Antioch, I thought of people as crazy because I was internalizing my own oppression.
It took me a long time to learn this but I have figured out that actually, like the Anarchists and Communists I once marginalized, I was a radical too. Now, when I embrace my radical identity, I feel the spiritual liberation of simply being present with who I have always been. It is healing. And yet I also know that, by calling myself a radical, I open myself up to the same marginalization I have always feared–the marginalization bound within the words “crazy” and “normal.”
I realize I am somewhat conflating mental illness with abnormality but this is because they are conflated. As I said earlier, mental illness is an ill-defined term. Should you study psychiatric diagnoses you will find that “mental illness” actually is defined and diagnosed by abnormal behavior. In fact, the DSM (manual for diagnosing mental illness) keeps getting updated as society renegotiates what we consider normal and abnormal. Homosexuality, for example, used to be called a mental illness (and just spend a moment contemplating what this fact would signify for a mental illness database). And the thing is, there are many abnormal people in the world. I suspect there are far more people who exhibit abnormal behavior than those who do not. This points out that abnormality is not really about how often a behavior occurs but how shunned a behavior is in mainstream society. Many shunned behaviors are problematic (going on a killing spree, at least within one’s country, is one of them). Many shunned behaviors might actually be beneficial (like having an unusual ability to empathize or think critically). But, of all the people we might decide to label as mentally ill or abnormal, only a very small minority actually commit physical violence.
We do not live in the nightmarish world outlined by Wayne Lapierre. If we did, mass shootings and attempted mass shootings would be much more common. But thinking that our safety is constantly besieged by mad individuals causes real problems. When mental struggles and abnormal behavior are seen as excuses for marginalization people are actually disincentivized to seek and find help, which makes them more likely to act on destructive impulses. Further disenfranchisement by stamping crazy on peoples’ permanent records is an ill-informed attempt to make the world better which will actually make it worse.
So you may wonder, what do I propose to prevent violent people from acquiring weapons. Dismantle the military industrial complex! While we’re at it we can also dismantle the small-arms industrial complex (which involves the NRA). These groups benefit from guns, the use of guns, and from the mindset that guns represent legitimate ways to solve problems. In general I think we need a more serious analysis of violence in society, but unfortunately massive amounts of propaganda make it hard for us to really look at ourselves. Still, it is immoral to avoid difficult tasks just because they are difficult when peoples’ lives are on the line. And, in the spirit of seriously examining violence in our society, I ask you to ponder the following:
We are upset by the mass shootings committed by a “crazy” person in Connecticut. It is tragic, horrible, angering, and saddening. Most disgustingly, it is only a ripple in the overall waves of violence that are produced by frightened people with destructive technology. Consider how many children have been killed by “normal” people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Pakistan? Cruise missiles and drone strikes do not have an avoid children switch. Could it be that there are people with power who have an interest in dismissing and destroying human life? Could it be that this is what is done in any war, every mass shooting, and even in the label of “crazy” itself? And, if you want to further explore the expendability of human life by people with power I suggest viewing the video on this page. I will warn, it is extremely violent, disturbing, and potentially triggering. |

The prior art is replete with a variety of different computer-based email systems and related email delivery, processing, and presentation techniques. A typical email system employs a mail server that receives email messages directed to a particular domain and routes the incoming email as needed to the intended recipient. A multi-tenant database system may also support email features and functionality for a plurality of different tenants. The multi-tenant environment, however, can present certain challenges and difficulties when diagnosing or analyzing email delivery problems. For example, it may be necessary for the provider or administrator of the multi-tenant database system to respond to email “trouble tickets” associated with email problems for a large number of different tenants. Providing such email support to many different tenants can be time consuming, costly, and a drain on human resources. Moreover, determining the cause of email delivery problems may be a difficult task when dealing with multiple tenants accessing a multi-tenant database system, because a multi-tenant database system may support many tenants accessing the system at any given moment, with each tenant being managed by one or more administrators or users with certain access privileges.
Accordingly, it is desirable to have an efficient and effective methodology for monitoring and diagnosing email delivery issues, particularly in the context of a multi-tenant database application. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the foregoing technical field and background. |
Services – Getting Started & Next Steps
How To Choose The Best Cleaning Services There are many domestic cleaning services available, and it may be difficult to choose the best company. The following tips will act as a guide on the way you should select the expert domestic cleaning services. You require to get the company that exhibits professionalism in the services they render. A firm that gets your request fast and treats it with a professional level that it deserves is likely to offer great domestic cleaning services. Avoid committing your work to a firm that claims to render reasonable prices but fails to show courtesy when dealing ng with your work. It is likely to deliver service that re equal to the courtesy that you got. You should get a domestic cleaning company that is flexible. A the company that can handle your immediate wants is the best. You would not want a firm that will generalize their services which insinuate that they will eliminate laundry services when you wanted your laundry cleaned. Flexible cleaning companies usually offer that will put into consideration the cleaning services you need and charge you by the cleaning tasks you perform.What Research About Services Can Teach You
You should get a company that has substantial charges as they provide efficient cleaning services. This is not inclusive of the cheap companies that compromise on the quality of the services they offer. It means obtaining the services of a firm that will offer charges based on the cleaning services required. Choose the company that will charge you by an hour instead of the one that charges a huge amount of money generalized for all the services.Finding Ways To Keep Up With Experts
You should hire the organization that uses safe cleaning agents or the one that can use the cleaning agents that you provide Harsh cleaning agents wears items easily meaning that within a short period of time your surfaces will appear dull and your fabrics can easily tear away. Companies that use organic agents are the best.

You should also choose the company that has operated for a long time meaning that it has acquired enough experience in handling the needs of different clients. This kind of a firm should have positive reviews from the clients that have received their services before. The firm should additionally be the one that sends the same cleaner for your domestic cleaning needs. This one will understand fast the kind of services you desire and how you like them done. |
Asymmetrical hemisphere activation enhances global-local processing.
Decades of research focusing on the neurophysiological underpinnings related to global-local processing of hierarchical stimuli have associated global processing with the right hemisphere and local processing with the left hemisphere. The current experiment sought to expand this research by testing the causal contributions of hemisphere activation to global-local processing. To manipulate hemisphere activation, participants engaged in contralateral hand contractions. Then, EEG activity and attentional scope were measured. Right-hand contractions caused greater relative left-cortical activity than left-hand contractions. Participants were more narrowly focused after left-hemisphere activation than after right-hemisphere activation. Moreover, N1 amplitudes to local targets in the left hemisphere were larger after left-hemisphere activation than after right-hemisphere activation. Consistent with past research investigating hemispheric asymmetry and attentional scope, the current results suggest that manipulating left (right) hemisphere activity enhanced local (global) attentional processing. |
Q:
Biochemical coupling between two enzymatic reactions - Enzymes physically associated?
I am wondering what the exact definition of biochemical coupling between two enzymatic reactions is. I know that these two enzymatic reactions have to
share the same intermediate(s)
one is thermodynamically favorable and the other is not.
So the thermodynamically unfavorable reaction can happen when it coupled with the thermodynamically favorable reaction. I just want to confirm that : Do these two enzymes have to be physically associated with each other? Since I do not have any evidence to support the physically interactions between these two enzymes, can I still use the term "biochemical coupling"?
Many thanks.
A:
The enzymes don't need physical interactions to couple reactions. Some enzymes do share subunits which are physically associated, but this is a special case. The following review gives a sort of general example during glycolysis,
For example, in the biochemical pathway that breaks down glucose for energy, two enzymes work one after the other to create a high-energy ATP molecule:
We can also look at the peptidyltransferase reaction during the elongation step in translation. Earlier, an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase catalyzed the covalent addition of an amino acid to it's associated tRNA. The energy from breaking this bond in the ribosome provides energy for the peptidyltransferase to link the two amino acids together. This isn't assuming the ATP/GTP needed by elongation factors, etc.

Q:
What is the purpose of the pound (#) symbol in front of method names in unit tests?
I see many test descriptions such as in Mocha using the # symbol in front of methods. What is the purpose and origin of this? I've been doing it for years like a lemming so I figured it was time to ask why :)
describe('#myMethod()', function() { ... })
A:
I first saw this convention in Ruby, where class methods are referred to in text as Class.method (or, less frequently, Class::method) and instance methods as Class#method. The difference in punctuation is needed both to tell the reader what kind the method is and to disambiguate class and instance methods with the same name (not that having those is usually a good idea).
The test naming convention probably came to Javascript along with RSpec syntax (describe, it, etc.).

A wireless telecommunications system has been proposed with a central terminal, or station, at a central location in wireless communication with a plurality of subscriber terminals, or stations, at subscriber locations to implement a wireless telephony system The system is intended to be used with fixed subscriber locations rather than the more familiar mobile cellular telephone systems.
The system finds a wide variety of possible applications, for example in rural, remote, or sparsely populated areas where the cost of laying permanent wire or optical networks would be too expensive, in heavily built-up areas where conventional wired systems are at full capacity or the cost of laying such systems would involve too much interruption to the existing infrastructure or be too expensive, and so on.
In the proposed system, the subscriber terminal is required to perform wireless transmission and reception tasks, signal coding and decoding tasks, initialisation and authentication tasks as well conventional telephony tasks. Function for executing these tasks can be set up at the initial installation of the subscriber unit at a customer's location However, it may be desired to update the functions available at the customer's premises after installation. Particularly bearing in mind that the subscriber stations may be widely scattered, it is inconvenient to have to visit each subscriber station in order to provide for re-programming of the subscriber station.
It may be desirable in some instances to ensure that standard installation is effected for all subscriber stations. In other instances, it may be desirable to provide different installations at different subscriber stations. The administration in ensuring that installers have the correct equipment at subscriber stations is significant. Accordingly, it can be seen that the programming and installation of subscriber stations is a potentially costly and inconvenient operation. The invention seeks to address these problems. |

In this contract compounds will be obtained from the pharmaceutical industry, academic and Governmental laboratories. These compounds will be studied as potential pharmacotherapies for opiate abuse. Their abuse liability will be assessed as well. Test to be used include: antiociceptive assays in rodents, intraperitoneal infusion in rats, single dose abstinence suppression precipitated withdrawal in opiate-dependent non-human primates, physical dependence in naive non-human primates as well as self-administration and discrimination in primates. Compounds showing sufficient promise as pharmacotherapies will become candidates for clinical trial in human subjects. Abuse liability data developed by this contract are used to make decision as to scheduling of compounds under domestic as well as international drug control legislation. |
George Takei Unites Star Wars and Star Trek Fans Against a Common Enemy [Video]

The potential for improved abdominal procedures and approaches for tubal occlusion.
Methods of sterilization by the abdominal route are reviewed. There are wide variations in practice which reflect experience, training and resources in different countries. Clip sterilization comes nearest to fulfilling the criteria of a satisfactory method, whether performed by laparoscopy or minilaparotomy. The development of the Cambridge clip seems to offer the prospect of a significant improvement in reliability and safe application while microlaparoscopy and a smaller clip would facilitate the use of local anesthesia and decrease morbidity. |
Diets lower in meat could reduce agricultural expansion and intensification thereby reducing biodiversity impacts. However, land use requirements, associated with alternate diets, in biodiverse regions across different taxa are not fully understood. We use a spatially explicit global food and land system model to address this gap. We quantify land-use change in locations important for biodiversity across taxa and find diets low in animal products reduce agricultural expansion and intensity in regions with high biodiversity. Reducing ruminant meat consumption alone however was not sufficient to reduce fertiliser and irrigation application in biodiverse locations. The results differed according to taxa, emphasising that land-use change effects on biodiversity will be taxon specific. The links shown between global meat consumption and agricultural expansion and intensification in the biodiverse regions of the world indicates the potential to help safeguard biodiverse natural ecosystems through dietary change. |

Pot Racks
Looking for commercial pot racks for your restaurant or food-service establishment? Here at Rapids Wholesale, we have a large selection of commercial pot racks, both kitchen hanging pot racks and wall mounted pot racks for kitchen, manufactured by Eagle, one of the most reputable brands in the food-service industry today. You can also choose from a stainless steel pot rack or an aluminum commercial pot rack, depending on your preference or depending on what you require for your food-service business.
What Are Commercial Pot Racks?
Commercial pot racks are used to hang your pots and pans, so you can store them safely and sanitarily in your commercial kitchen while still making sure that they are still easy to access for you and your food-service crew. And because commercial pot racks keep your pots and pans a safe distance from the floor of your kitchen, you don’t need to worry about them getting crawled on by insects and other pets. Also, a commercial pot rack is an excellent space saver for your kitchen especially if you have very limited space.
Aside from saving your commercial kitchen some much-needed space, pot racks for kitchen use also add a certain flair to your kitchen and makes it look more professional. A good idea when going out to buy your own commercial pot rack is to make sure that it can be easily assembled so you can save yourself the time and unnecessary hassles. There are a lot of kitchen hanging pot racks out there that are very complicated to install and assemble, and this will prove to be a big problem for you and your food-service staff.
You might also want to choose a stainless steel pot rack or an aluminum commercial pot rack. For instance, stainless steel hanging pot rack is a very popular choice nowadays for restaurant business owners looking for a quality heavy duty pot rack. And with good reason: stainless steel is one of the most durable and heavy duty materials nowadays. In the case of aluminum, it is also relatively durable but its advantage over a stainless steel commercial pot rack is that it is a lot less heavier.
In addition, it is a good idea to make sure that the commercial pot rack you are going to purchase has an ample amount of hooks. Commercial pot rack hooks are often compatible for use with other commercial pot racks, so you can still use them with any model rack.
Should You Choose a Wall Mount Pot Rack or a Ceiling Mount Pot Rack?
Design-wise, there are generally two types of commercial pot racks: a ceiling mount pot rack and a wall mount pot rack. Ceiling mount or hanging kitchen pot racks are mounted on the ceiling as opposed to a wall mount pan rack that is attached to a wall.
It really depends on you and the requirements of your food-service establishment or restaurant whether you want to choose wall pot racks for kitchen use or hanging kitchen pot racks because they serve the same purpose and are both space-savers for your commercial kitchen. For variety, you can actually get both types of commercial pot racks and use them together in your commercial kitchen especially if you are running a relatively large restaurant and food-service establishment and have a lot of pots and pans lying around. |

Just kidding, still disappointed with that game. It was pretty good and the best kart racer on the Wii just not the best in the series for me.
On topic:
That Nascar Kart one that EA did was actually decent so this could be better. EA have improved massively over the last couple of years so I'm expecting a decent at best game.
Features:
* Race to the Finish Line—Face a variety of MySim opponents or take on your friends! Compete with rival racers in one-on-one duels. Get ahead of the curve with awesome power-ups such as the heat-seeking jack-o-lantern pumpkin or a bubble dropper
* Kick Your Driving into High Gear—Bring back the glory days of Speedville by winning championships, completing challenges, and more
* Design Your Own Car—Customize your car by swapping bodies, changing paint jobs and adding tons of accessories. Improve power, acceleration, and handling by mixing and matching engines, suspension, and tires
* Create Your Own MySim—Personalize your MySim's appearance with new racing-themed clothes and accessories
* Improve Your Relationships, Improve Your Ride —Befriend MySims and help them out to get car blueprints, car parts, and more
No online though, which is stupid for a game like this from a big company like EA. DS version has trackbuilder, not sure if this one does though. |
Developmental noise, ageing and cancer.
Development is a very robust but far from perfect process, subjected to random variation due to the combined factors that constitute the so-called developmental noise. The effects of early developmental noise may have long-term consequences resulting from slight differences in the make-up and organisation of the former developing system. Here we present evidence suggesting that cancer is not an acquired but an intrinsic process resulting from random factors acting during early development, thus leading to a mixture of susceptibility types that may develop cancer sooner or later, depending on the combination of the environment acting upon such different susceptibility types. We discuss evidence suggesting that some supposedly tumour-suppressor functions, such as those associated with the p53 protein, actually evolved as buffering functions against the early effects of developmental noise that might compromise the stability of embryonic cells and hence of development. Ageing is a stochastic process characterised by progressive failure of somatic maintenance and repair. We put forth the notion that progressive loss of the morphological coherence of the organism (morphological disorder) is a form of ageing, and that morphological disorder is the common theme of most types of cancer. Thus, we suggest that the exhaustion of both developmental constraints and buffering developmental mechanisms link ageing and cancer. Moreover, we propose that cancer may represent one of the most radical forms of ageing, because it generally satisfies the criteria of senescence: intrinsicality, progressiveness and deleteriousness. |

Researchers
Emilio Gattico – RCNL Director
After graduating in Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Milan, in Italy. Emilio Gattico completed his Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Pavia with a thesis on Natural Logic and Jean Piaget’s operatory logic. He started his careeras professor and researcher at the University of Cagliari. He currently teaches Psychology and Genetic Epistemology at the University of Bergamo.
Emilio Gattico is interested in the genesis of the Natural Logic and in the reinterpretation of Piaget’s philosophy, according to a historical-critical perspective. Specifically, he considers that Natural Logic could be linked to a logic of discourse. Moreover, that it should be seen mostly as Logic (understood as a scientific discipline) and not as a tool for linguistic analysis. His goal is to analyze the organization and the structuring of individuals’ discourses during their development, using the Natural Logic operations. In addition, Professor Gattico has the objective to determine the conditions under which natural logic is possible, understood as the logic of communication. Furthermore, he is providing contributions to the study of the history of Genetic Epistemology and Logic in general. |
Field of the Invention
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for performing network registration.
Description of the Related Art
VoIP networks generally rely on a session initiation protocol (SIP) registration method to identify the IP Address of devices on the network. These devices send SIP REGISTER messages, which function as indications about the device's connectivity, to SIP registration servers containing information about the location of the device. The SIP REGISTER method also serves as a means to indicate to the SIP registration server that the device is still currently active. However, in order to maintain knowledge of the device and location, SIP REGISTER messages must be sent at regular and frequent intervals from the device to the SIP registration servers. Pushing the SIP REGISTER message often imposes a burden on the device and consumes a significant amount of power, especially in the case of mobile devices such as cellular telephones or tablet computers. The SIP REGISTER messages may shorten the battery life of the device, interfere with network speed, or cause undesirable behavior in device functionality and software functionality.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a method and apparatus for performing network registration from alternate sources other than a device executing a VoIP application. |
Q:
imported data to gephi is always a string
I'm importing a .gml file into Gephi, that I build using the python module networkx. All of my node attributes and labels are imported as strings instead of floats, which is messing up several things (using node attributes for visuals, and accessing the list of nodes in the scripting console). Is there any way to import data the correct way? Will it change anything to import to Gephi as a different graph format? I'm doing this with an eye to programmatically drawing graphs in Gephi. Thanks!
A:
You should try including the ID as an attribute. Thats simpler way of solving this (I think).

Q:
"module [...] is defined in multiple files" error from Haskell compilation
I am getting the following error when i compile with the -Wall option.
ghc -o -Wall polycake polycake.hs
When I don't use the option my code compiles fine and runs as expected. What does this mean?
<no location info>: error:
module ‘main:Polycake’ is defined in multiple files: polycake.hs
polycake.hs
A:
The -o option expects the output file name as the next argument - it does not care whether that argument starts with a dash or not. So -o -Wall sets the output file name to -Wall (and does not actually enable warnings).
So the two left over arguments are polycake and polycake.hs, which ghc interprets as input file names. When an input file name does not exist and does not already end with the .hs extension, ghc will try to add that extension. So ghc polycake polycake.hs will try to compile polycake.hs twice. This leads to your error.
PS: The output file name defaults to the input file name without the extension, so you don't need the -o option at all in this case.

In some systems, an appliance provides a client computer with access to a network. In one kind of system, an appliance may provide the client computer with secure access to a private network via virtual private network (VPN) connection. The client computer may use a client agent to access the functionality or services provided by the appliance. For example, the client agent may establish a virtual private network connection to a network via the appliance. In some cases, the client agent may be installed under an administrative user or with administrative privileges. As such, any changes to the client agent may also require administrative privileges.
Typically, a network administrator may deploy an appliance to provide access to the network to a multitude of non-administrative users, such as remote or mobile users. In some cases, the administrator may install on the appliance software maintenance revisions, updates or upgrades to the appliance. In other cases, the administrator may replace an appliance with a newer version of hardware, such as another model. In one case, a newer version of the client agent is available. In another cases, the appliance may work with one or more versions of a client agent. As a result of any of these cases, the network administrator may want to deploy a different version of the client agent to the vast user community. However, the deployment and installation of the client agent to client computers of non-administrative users can be challenging as the non-administrative users do not have the required administrative privileges. Furthermore, users of the system may be frustrated with not having the most up-to-date client agent, an inappropriate version of the client agent, or having to spend the time to install or get installed the client agent.
It would, therefore, be desirable to provide systems and methods for efficiently allowing a client computer of a non-administrative user to automatically detect, install and use a changed version of a client agent. |
The ototoxic effects of ethacrynic acid in man and animals.
A review of the literature was carried out to summarize the ototoxic effects of ethacrynic acid on man and animal. The effects of this drug on the electrolytes of the endolymphatic and perilymphatic systems, on the cochlear potentials and the auditory cortical-evoked responses, were reviewed. Histological animal studies determined by light and electron microscopy were described. Potentiation of this drug with previous aminoglycoside therapy was discussed. In this paper, a human case report with temporal bone findings was present in addition to the histopathological effects of this drug which were shown in a series of animals receiving this drug over a period of time. Edematous and cellular changes in the stria vascularis, especially with animals receiving large doses of the drug, were described. No permanent alterations in the cochlear potentials resulted from the long-term therapy with ethacrynic acid. |
Q:
How to use Super-L instead of Alt in XFCE for resizing/moving windows?
In XFCE, when holding down Alt and then clicking anywhere in a window with the left button will move that window (as if by dragging the title bar), or resize the windows when clicking and dragging with the right button.
I like this feature very much, and I'm used to it, since forever. But I've always had it bound to Super-L(left "Windows"-Key).
How do I change the behavior of Alt for Super-L? I was looking at XFCE Settings Manager but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Submit different forms bootstrap tab
I want to submit different forms using bootstrap tab. I have partial views for each tab.
<div role="tabpanel">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist" id="myTab">
<li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#staff" aria-controls="staff" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Staff</a></li>
<li role="presentation"><a href="#experience" aria-controls="experience" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Experience</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("SaveStaff", "StaffInformation", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "staff" }, new { id = "form-staff" }))
{
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade in active" id="staff">@Html.Partial("_SaveStaff")</div>
}
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("SaveExperience", "StaffInformation", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "experience"}, new { id = " form-experience" }))
{
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" id="experience">@Html.Partial("_SaveExperience")</div>
}
</div>
</div>
Now, when the page loads, it correctly renders the SaveStaff partial view. But when Experience tab is clicked it doesn't show the SaveExperience partial view as tabbed view, but beneath the SaveStaff.

Put your forms inside divs and not outside:
<div role="tabpanel">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist" id="myTab">
<li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#staff" aria-controls="staff" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Staff</a></li>

Pharmacists as mid-level practitioners/providers.
With recent changes in health-care delivery, the profession of pharmacy is presented with opportunities for expanded involvement in direct patient care as mid-level practitioners/providers. Will pharmacists be proactive in realizing these opportunities? Expanding current roles to improve medication-related health outcomes for patients will require that pharmacists establish collaborative practice relationships, differentiate our unique services from those of other mid-level practitioners/providers, and share these results with the public and other health-care providers. This article encourages pharmacists to advocate for advancing pharmacy practice to meet the needs of society, to continue the dialogue regarding an expanded scope of practice for pharmacists as mid-level practitioners/providers, and to actively engage in developing these new roles. |

Determination of molecular orientation at the surface of an aerosol particle by morphology-dependent photoselection.
The orientation of fluorescent molecules on the surface of an aerosol particle has been determined by using a new technique, morphology-dependent photoselection. The excitation spectrum of the angularly averaged fluorescence from a single levitated particle is measured by using an integrating sphere levitator. By utilizing the relative intensities of resonant peaks in this spectrum and knowledge of the polarization properties of different resonances, we show that the orientation of molecules relative to the surface normal may be obtained. |

Signal transduction and the regulation of cell growth.
The need to understand and characterize critical steps controlling mitogenesis is a problem being addressed in many laboratories today. Genetic damage in cancer cells is a universal characteristic, and the search for the targets of this damage has led to the study of numerous complex signal transduction pathways which are involved in regulating cellular proliferation and differentiation. One important signal transduction cascade involved in controlling mitogenesis is the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. It is now clear that both tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors and G protein-coupled receptors regulate this pathway. Recent work from many groups has resulted in the initial characterization of the events that lead to mitogen-activated protein kinase activation by these different receptors. This review will contain a brief background of G proteins and their potential role in controlling cell growth. |

Q:
Why does .remove() not work in my setup?
I'm currently doing my first steps in jQuery and have a problem with .remove(). There are already a lot of questions from people with similar problems but they don't help me.
In a HTML file, I have a form and the following div that serves as an alert box and displays whether the form validated correctly or not. In its original state, the div contains a single button for closing it.
<div id="my-form-alert-box">
<button id="my-form-alert-button" type="button" class="close">x</button>
</div>
When the HTML page loads for the first time, the alert box should not be displayed. That's why I add the following CSS:
<style type="text/css">
#my-form-alert-box {display: none;}
</style>
When the form gets submitted and validated, I append <p>some text</p> to this div and then the alert box is displayed. When I close the alert box using the button, it disappears but the <p>some text</p> is not removed. Why is this the case?
Here is my jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {
var $myFormAlertBox = $('#my-form-alert-box');
var $myFormAlertBoxParagraph = $('#my-form-alert-box p');
$('#my-form-alert-button').on('click', function(event) {
$myFormAlertBoxParagraph.remove();
$myFormAlertBox.hide();
});
$('#my-form').on('submit', function(event) {
$.ajax({
// ...
success: function(data) {
// The content of the alert box should be removed
// and the alert box itself should be hidden also when
// the form gets submitted again and not only when the
// button is clicked
$myFormAlertBoxParagraph.remove();
$myFormAlertBox.hide();
// data contains <p>some text</p>
$myFormAlertBox.append(data).show();
}
});
event.preventDefault();
});
});
Appending the data works fine, but removing it does not. Can you help me? Thank you very much!
A:
Your initial assignment of $myFormAlertBoxParagraph will fail as there isn't a paragraph in your markup when it is called. Adding a 'placeholder' paragraph into your markup should fix it. This explains why the .remove() will fail.
For your ajax, try something like this to keep the variables assigned with their new values:
//...
$.ajax({
// ...
success: function(data) {
// Remove the existing paragraph.
$myFormAlertBoxParagraph.remove();
// This updates the paragraph object with the new one.
$myFormAlertBoxParagraph = $(data);
// Add the new paragraph and ensure the alert box is visible.
$myFormAlertBox.append($myFormAlertBoxParagraph).show();
}
});
//...
This will remove the paragraph tag from the alert box, and add the new one. There's no need to .hide() it and then immediately .show() it afterwards. However, adding the .show() after the .append() will cover you if it has been hidden by your click event.

Move virt's PSCI DT fixup code to arm/boot.c and set this fixup to
happen automatically for every board that doesn't mark "psci-conduit"
as disabled. This way emulated boards other than "virt" that rely on
PSIC for SMP could benefit from that code. |
[Precision stomatology: current status and challenges].
The completion of human genome project and the progress in medical practice have inevitably lead to the development of precision medicine, which is a medical model that proposes the customization of medical care including medical decisions, practices, and/or medical products with patient's genetic background, environmental factors and life behavior being taken into account. The current work proposed precision stomatology for the first time, and by integrating data reported in recent literature, we described the current practice of precision stomatology in multiple disciplines in modem dentistry. The clinical significance of precision stomatology and its future challenges have also been discussed. |
Role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and aldosterone antagonists in the prevention of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
Atrial arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are significant health problems and an economic burden to society. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may play a key role in the occurrence of structural and electrical remodeling, potentially explaining the development of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Angiotensin II has been shown to regulate cardiac cell proliferation and to modulate cardiac myocyte ion channels. Results of post hoc analyses from prospective clinical trials appear to show that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are most effective in the prevention of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure. It is difficult to determine if these agents are useful in the prevention of new-onset atrial fibrillation after myocardial infarction, and available evidence suggests that the benefit of ACE inhibitors and ARBs for prevention of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension appears limited to those with left ventricular hypertrophy. Patients with structural changes in cardiac muscle, such as those with heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy, appear to benefit the most from RAAS blockade, possibly due to the theory of reversal of cardiac remodeling. There is no evidence, to our knowledge, that either ACE inhibitors or ARBs facilitate direct electrical current cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation; however, it appears that RAAS blockade may be useful in the prevention of recurrent atrial fibrillation after direct electrical current cardioversion. Whether ACE inhibitors may prevent life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias or SCD is unclear. Aldosterone antagonists appear to be useful for the prevention of SCD in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Results from ongoing clinical trials are anticipated to provide further insight on the potential roles of RAAS inhibitors for the prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. |
