Q:
Redirect from index page in Spring and Tomcat
I have a Spring application, which is running on Tomcat say at: http://example.com/foo/
DisplatcherServlet is mapped to app/*, for example, index page is:
http://example.com/foo/app/index.html
This is so because I have other servlets (for HttpRequestHandlers), e.g. mapped to service/*. This scheme is convenient to use because this way app/ and service/ can have different security settings.
What I want is http://example.com/foo to redirect to http://example.com/foo/app/index.html.
How do I achieve this?
A:
In your web.xml, you can define a welcome file, seen when navigating to the root of the app:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
You can then make a tiny index.jsp that redirects to where you want:
<% response.sendRedirect("app/index.html"); %>

Raviv had a fever on Wednesday afternoon, hours after his third PCV shot. We took it in stride, thinking that the fever was because of the shot. But it went on until nighttime until the following day. We of course got worried, especially with the daily “Dalawang bata nanaman ang namatay sa dengue ngayon”. For several weeks now, that kind of news signals that TV Patrol is about to start. It also jumpstarts my fears for my baby. Add to that the fact that two of our household help had dengue simultaneously. And so on Raviv’s 2nd day of fever, had went to the hospital lab to get a complete blood count with platelet.

Radiotherapy planning for lung cancer: can we do better?
Modern radiotherapy planning and treatment techniques allow the delivery of treatment with considerable geographic and dosimetric precision. Uncertainties and variability in the radiotherapy process prior to this stage, that is, localization of the target volume, has received little systematic study. The results of a planning study in non-small cell carcinoma of the lung are presented to highlight the possible variability in the planning process, both at an inter-clinician and intra-clinician level. The implications of this survey, both in terms of treatment outcome and training issues, are discussed. |
Physicians and alcoholics. Factors affecting attitudes of family-practice residents toward alcoholics.
Family-practice residents rated alcoholics as weaker, sicker and more hopeless and aimless than average persons on an adjective semantic differential, and diabetics as sicker than average persons. The implications for the diagnosis and treatment of alcoholism are discussed. |

Spurred by graphic images from recent police uses of force at UC campuses, Gov. Jerry Brown has requested that state police officers review their policies for using force and make changes to their guidelines accordingly.
In a Monday letter to the state Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training, Brown wrote that he was “seriously concerned that the rules governing use of force … are not well understood in the context of civil disobedience and various forms of public protest,” citing police use of pepper spray and other forms of force at recent “occupation” protests at UC campuses.
The protests at UC Berkeley and UC Davis, in which protesters were hit with batons and sprayed with pepper spray, respectively, have drawn widespread condemnation. The university has pledged a review of its police policy while both campuses are undertaking reviews of their own.
Brown has spoken with both UC President Mark Yudof and former Los Angeles Police Department Chief William Bratton — who Yudof charged with leading the UC’s police policy review — about police use of force, according to Brown spokesperson Elizabeth Ashford.

Conventionally, a capacitor structure in an integrated circuit may either be a flat parallel-plate capacitor structure or a trench capacitor structure. Capacitance per unit area for these flat parallel-plate capacitor structures or trench capacitor structures is based on dielectric thickness of the capacitor structures. This is unlike a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) finger capacitor structure where the capacitances depend on the overlapping conductive segments.
The MOM finger capacitor structure is a common circuit component within an integrated circuit. The MOM finger capacitor structure can be used within a loop filter circuit, an inductance-capacitance voltage controller oscillator (LCVCO) circuit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, a power supply decoupling circuit or a ground decoupling circuit. Most of these circuits require a small-sized yet a precisely-designed MOM finger capacitor structure (e.g., the ADC circuit).
However, it is difficult to manufacture the small-sized yet precisely-designed MOM finger capacitor structure. One of the reasons is due to backend of the line (BEOL) process variations. The other reason is the capacitances requirement for a particular circuit may vary as a manufacturing process matures. The abovementioned reasons coupled with the limitations arising from new generation processes, especially where each metal layer may have conductive segments routed in a single direction only, make it difficult to manufacture the MOM finger capacitor structure within an integrated circuit. |
Gifts from abroad
Hello,I wonder if anyone here's got some experience dealing with tax on gifts received from abroad who could advise me on the following: a would-be customer (who is a UK resident) is going to receive money from the parents from a non-EU country. I tried reading some information provided on the gov.uk website but it's not very clear to me if there's any UK tax to be charged on it, if the gift needs to be declared to the UK tax authorities or how to go about it.The UK bank does not seem to oppose to the transaction so I am not sure whether I am troubling myself for nothing.All your comments will be greatly appreciated. |
Q:
How can I build two interactive web-sites from one GNU makefile and mostly the same source?
I'm using GNU Make to build a dynamic web site but I need to build two versions. As a net result currently I run my makefile using two command line incantations. This is inefficient and can result in errors (I don't always remember to run both versions or make a typing error and they fail) thus I want to make it one build.
The Command Line incantations are:
sudo make release build=test
sudo make release build=release
The two incantations activate ifeq blocks that set the path and modify some files.
Part of the much simplified (to help readability) top level makefile:
subs = today tomorrow
files = index.php foot.php
ifeq ($(build),test)
export path = /var/www/html/cgi-test
$(shell cp -f head-test.php head.php)
$(shell sed -i '/"DB"/c\ define("DB", "db_test");' subs.php)
else ifeq ($(build),release)
export path = /var/www/html/cgi-new
$(shell cp -f head-release.php head.php)
$(shell sed -i '/"DB"/c\ define("DB", "db_new");' subs.php)
endif
.PHONY: all go
all:
$(MAKE) go
@for ALL in $(subs);\
do $(MAKE) -C $$ALL all || exit $$?;\
done;
go:
cp $(files) $(path)/.
The sub-makefiles have a very similar structure but don't need the ifeq blocks because the files and paths have already been setup.
I think I can simply move the shell commands into the .PHONY rules but I can't do that with the exports because I get errors "export: : bad variable name".
I could do it with a batch file and call the makefile twice but that sidesteps the problem rather than cures it and I wish to learn from the process.
So can anybody show me the way to do this in a makefile?
Thanks to Tripleee here is the answer that finally worked back ported to match my starting post. The one major change is that I have gone back to 'all' as the rule I expect to start the build habits die hard! - Thanks

The reason the export can't be moved into a recipe is that you are using the export command of make itself, not the shell's command with the same name.
You absolutely should not use sudo unless you specifically require the output files to be owned and only writable by root. Even then, running as much as possible as a regular user would be proper hygiene; maybe add a sudo command inside the Makefile to copy the files to their final location.

Brides say no to sozzled grooms at the altar
Left at the altar - alone and drunk. That was the fate of two grooms in normally patriarchal Bihar when their would-have-been brides and their families walked out on them because they were simply too sozzled.
Left at the altar - alone and drunk. That was the fate of two grooms in normally patriarchal Bihar when their would-have-been brides and their families walked out on them because they were simply too sozzled.
While one incident took place in Rohtas district's Khaira village, the other was in Aurangabad's Judahi village.
Savita Kumari from Khaira called off the wedding when she found her groom sloshed to the gills minutes before the ceremony Sunday night. Dressed in traditional red finery, the plucky woman, in her 20s, was informed by her friends that the groom was drunk and refused to marry him.
"I decided not to marry a man who is drunk ahead of wedding. That was an indicator that he was not a responsible man and unfit for me," she said.
She found full backing from her relatives, family sources said.
"She refused to marry the man who was drunk. I did not force her to marry against her wishes," her father Devender Ram said.
He approached the police but was advised not to do anything about it. "Police have no role if a woman refuses to marry a drunk groom," a local police official said.
In the second case the same night, Lalan Singh took an equally courageous stand when he took the call not to get his daughter married to a drunk and asked the 'baraat' to return.
"The drunk groom was exposed when he came to our house. He was so drunk that he assaulted some people and threw chairs at women during the pre-wedding rituals," Lalan Singh was quoted as saying.
The groom's father Balram Singh said his son's friends had mixed alcohol in his cold drinks, but Lalan Singh would have none of it.
"I was adamant not to marry my daughter to a man who was drunk on his wedding night," Lalan Singh said, recalling how he asked them to go back.
The families of two brides represent a welcome trend in Bihar, where such stories were virtually unheard of till a few years ago. The pattern in large swathes of the state, particularly in the villages, was, and still is, the bride being spurned for reasons such as insufficient dowry. |
Characterization of the tryptic map of recombinant DNA derived tissue plasminogen activator by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
A detailed tryptic map is presented for recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is utilized as an on-line HPLC detector for tryptic mapping of this glycoprotein. The additional dimension provided by mass spectrometry gives considerably more detail about the complex tryptic map and significantly enhances the high-resolution chromatographic separation by distinguishing by mass any coeluting components. Through this improvement, the proline isomers of a tryptic peptide were observed eluting over a broad range of retention times. The glycopeptides of rt-PA are observed as well as any corresponding nonglycosylated peptides. In addition, the carbohydrate heterogeneity is readily observed, allowing analysis of the carbohydrate composition. The characteristic diagonal patterns formed by glycopeptides in a contour plot of the data allow rapid recognition of the glycopeptides. |

The use of meter actuated pilot valves for the relayed operation of main flow control valves and the advantages achieved thereby are well known and understood. In systems capable of dispensing a predetermined amount of liquid, wherein a flowmeter actuates a pilot valve to effect closure of the main valve when a predetermined quantity of liquid has been delivered, it is frequently essential particularly when delivery is made at high flow rates to stage the closure of the main control valve. One reason for this is to minimize the shock which would otherwise occur if the main valve were to be suddenly completely closed from a full open, high flow rate position and another reason is to permit effecting a more precise cutoff at the instant a predetermined amount has been delivered.
Various pilot and main valve constructions and their arrangements in such systems have been proposed. In some prior arrangements the pilot valve is mounted on or incorporated within the main valve body and mechanically connected to flowmeter actuated preset mechanism spaced therefrom by linkage. In other prior arrangements solenoids are employed to operate pilot valves which solenoids are energized through meter actuated switching means.
The mechanical connection of a pilot valve to meter actuated preset mechanism when considerably spaced therefrom by linkage introduces the potential for inaccuracies in the precise motion transmission required and the necessary frequent adjustment thereof to maintain an acceptable degree of accuracy has been found troublesome. The solenoid operation of pilot valves substantially increases the cost when staged closure of the main valve is required because multiple solenoid operated valves are required to stage the closure of the main valve. Moreover, solenoid operation of the pilot valves requires a suitable source of electrical power which is not always available. |
Rolling-circle amplification in DNA diagnostics: the power of simplicity.
Due to its robustness and simplicity, the rolling replication of circular DNA probes holds a distinct position in DNA diagnostics among other isothermal methods of target, probe or signal amplification. Major rolling-circle amplification approaches to DNA detection via posthybridization probe/signal turn-by-turn enhancement are briefly overviewed here with an emphasis on the new concepts and latest progress in the field, including the single-molecule and single-mutation detection assays as exemplary applications. Underlying mechanisms, current controversies and principal advantages of rolling-circle amplification are also considered. Possible future directions for the further advancement of this diagnostic methodology are outlined. |
“At this time I do not see any benefit in opening further investigations," said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. | Getty Top House Republican: No new probe on Russia
The most senior House Republican on intelligence matters said Monday that his committee will not launch a new investigation into reports of Russian election interference.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, said in a statement that a new probe would “duplicate” other actions already being taken by the intelligence community. Instead, his panel will monitor the already existing investigations being run by various intelligence agencies, he said — and keep a close eye on the Obama administration’s final report on Russian meddling, due out in late January.
“At this time I do not see any benefit in opening further investigations, which would duplicate current committee oversight efforts and Intelligence Community inquiries,” Nunes, a member of Trump’s transition team, said in the statement. “We will also closely oversee the production of the report on these attacks requested by President Obama to ensure its analytical integrity.”
Nunes’ statement came several hours after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said several Senate committees will be running their own investigations. The Washington Post reported Friday that the CIA has concluded that Russian meddling in the U.S. election was an explicit attempt to tilt the contest against Hillary Clinton in favor of Trump.
Trump has called the CIA’s findings “ridiculous” and said it was “time to move on.” But a number of top Senate Republicans have said the issue is too serious to overlook. Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain even called for the creation of an independent panel to investigate — something McConnell said isn’t necessary.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Hill, House Republicans have been less enthusiastic about launching new probes. Some of the most dogged oversight members, like Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Trump’s soon-to-be CIA director, Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), have said little about the matter.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), in a statement Monday, broadly decried “any state-sponsored cyber attacks” and “any foreign intervention” in the democratic process. But, notably, he did not call for a new, stand-alone investigation. Rather, he endorsed a continuation of an ongoing probe of “cyber threats posed by foreign governments and terrorist organizations to the security of the United States” — a probe Nunes has been working on all year.
And even then, Ryan said any questions about Russia’s interference “should not cast doubt on the clear and decisive outcome of this election.”
“We must condemn and push back forcefully against any state-sponsored cyberattacks on our democratic process,” Ryan said, later adding: “As I’ve said before, any foreign intervention in our elections is entirely unacceptable.”
A Republican congressional staffer familiar with the House’s work said House investigators are fine with the Senate’s decision to start something new, but their approach won’t be the same.
Nunes, for his part, agreed in his statement that his panel would still be “conducting vigorous oversight of the investigations into election-related cyber attacks” — even if it’s not exclusively targeting Russia’s actions.
“Seeing as cyber attacks, including Russian attacks, have been one of the committee’s top priorities for many years, we’ve held extensive briefings and hearings on the topic,” Nunes said in the statement. “As the FBI, CIA, and other elements of the Intelligence Community continue their investigations into these attacks, the House Intelligence Committee will remain a vigilant monitor of their efforts.”
House Democrats, however, have already labeled Nunes’ plans insufficient.
“Russian meddling during our presidential election merits a bipartisan, joint investigation by the House and Senate Intelligence Committees,” said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on Intelligence.

Q:
Which programming guidelines for a chess network application?
I'd like to implement a simple chess peer to peer network application : one instance of the program may register friends player, and when one friend is "connected" (I mean both available by another program instance and registered as friend), I can ask him to play a game.
As I know J2SE language, as well as Swing framework, I tried to start coding, using Sockets. The problem is that I need a way to
register my friends (or other accounts)
get the friend ip, for creating a socket (it will be the same problem on the other side) : with the problem of dynamic ip adresses.I mean that a serialized adress may not be valid anymore
be informed that the other side has "connected"
I think that first and third point can be resolved if I use a PHP server which will have all informations for all registered users.
This is how the application should work :
First, before trying to connect each other, the users must register an account on a PHP server that I'll have to implement (with MySQL database)
When launching the application, the user logins by giving its username and password. So that the application will be able to retrieve friends (and stats for example) thanks to the server
When two friends are ready to play together, the server give all needed informations (such as ip adress) to both player application instance.
My main difficulties will be for the (de)serialization of dynamic IP Adresses, and for retrieving informations about a user on the PHP server.
What do you suggest ?
A:
Instead of peer to peer, why not have a central server in which connections are handled and the server's responsibility is to connect the peers together. This also facilitates easier security, acquisition of IP Address and other information that could be kept for storage by the server.
A nice threaded-server in which each connection causes server to spawn a thread and connect that thread to another and thus set up peer to peer would be cool.
This virtualized peer to peer would be simpler and easier to manage in my opinion.

Data verification
Data verification is a process in which different types of data are checked for accuracy and inconsistencies after data migration is done.
It helps to determine whether data was accurately translated when data is transferred from one source to another, is complete, and supports processes in the new system. During verification, there may be a need for a parallel run of both systems to identify areas of disparity and forestall erroneous data loss.
A type of Data Verification is double entry and proofreading data. Proofreading data involves someone checking the data entered against the original document. This is also time consuming and costly.

Q:
Why didn't they call for this character's help sooner?
We see in the post credit scene of Avengers: Infinity War, where Nick Fury seemingly sends a message for help to Captain Marvel and he has her number on speed dial, or if that was a pager.
In an interview, Kevin Feige stated that Captain Marvel would be the strongest character they have introduced.
So why did Nick Fury didn't call for her help sooner? She could've helped them defeat early on when he hadn't gathered all of the Infinity Stones.
A:
When I saw the movie I thought the same thing, like where is Nick Fury in all this chaos. My only way to explain the situation is that Nick Fury probably doesn't even know that anything is happening in Wakanda at all.
In the post credit scene, we see him, on what looks like any other day, there is no panic on the streets, he is not rushing anywhere to do something like you would in a middle of a world ending event.
Also when Thanos's henchmen came to New York, they shortly fought Iron Man and the others, and soon, carried them into space, where they would stay for the rest of the movie. That way Iron Man couldn't really inform him of anything.
All of the events that occur afterwards in the movie are happening very fast, one after another so there isn't really any time gap, or time jump, between start and finish of the movie.
One could say, how can't he know, the New York attack was all over the news?
That is true, but only consequence of that event is Tony Stark missing, they didn't attack New York with an army like they did in Wakanda, so that really wasn't a world ending event so that he needs to call Captain Marvel (they've seen much worse). And like I said, while they may be investigating what happened to Tony, other events are all happening very fast that they simply didn't have the time to hear what is happening at Wakanda (probably on the same day).
A:
So why did Nick Fury didn't call for her help sooner?
The situation was contained within the AVENGERS throughout the movie until the big blowout which resulted in the world knowing what happened. Let us consider the movie events:
A big circular spaceship arrives... A fight occurs in New York and promptly by the end of the fight, the spaceship is out of New York and Earth. So in this perspective, the Avengers have already succeeded and there are no more spaceships...
Bruce Banner contacts Cap and until Cap and co. meets Rhodey in Avengers facility, the council was merely thinking of the accords and all...
The next big event occurs in Wakanda and considering it's top-secret status, it's not known much outside...
TLDR: The Thanos threat was not known until much later...
Now let us consider the perspective of Nick Fury:
He believed in the Avengers for the first alien invasion when apparently he could have Captain Marvel then and there...
Ultron was handled by the Avengers when Captain Marvel could have knocked them out..
So Captain Marvel was reserved only for extinction-level events dubbed CODE RED and considering people were dis-integrating in front of him, he assumes the Avengers have failed and that's when he goes for the last option available... As to why she is considered for only and extinction-level event, we have to wait for the "Captain Marvel" movie.
A:
SHIELD was basically destroyed after Captain America: Winter Soldier, and Nick Fury "died". He doesn't have the same level of immediate news and access that he previously enjoyed. The Agents of SHIELD tv series shows that at this time, SHIELD is considered an underground (if not terrorist) organisation. This, combined with Wakanda's mostly secretive nature, means that he wouldn't know about what was happening over there.
While it's certainly conceivable that he was aware of the New York/spaceship attack, the news reports shown were discussing (if I remember correctly) a missing Tony Stark afterwards. Nick may have assumed, without any other contradictory information, that since the spaceship is gone Iron Man has handled it.
Thanos is not a threat that Nick knows about (as far as we've seen so far).
With no Tony(missing), and no Steve (on the run), when he sees what happens to Maria Hill, he sends a message to (presumably) Captain Marvel.

The right way to be fired.
Nearly all of us will lose our jobs sometime, but is there a right way to be terminated? What differentiates fired employees who make the best of their situations from those who do not? One answer is mind-set. Many workers unconsciously hold a "tenure mind-set," believing in the promise of employment security. By contrast, other workers hold an "assignment mentality," seeing each job as one in a series of impermanent, career-building stepping-stones. Most corporate board members and CEOs have this latter mind-set and consider their executives to be filling terminal assignments; people who possess this mentality usually rebound swiftly when fired. But when employees who hold a tenure mind-set are suddenly fired or laid off, the authors say, they can fall into three common traps. Executives who have overidentified with their jobs and feel indispensable to their organizations get caught in the "lost identity" trap; they react to termination with anger and bitterness. In the "lost family" trap, employees possess tight-knit, emotional bonds with coworkers. When terminated, they feel betrayed and rejected. And finally, some introverted executives fall into the "lost ego" trap; they quietly retreat without negotiating fair termination packages and may settle for less satisfying work the next time around. To prepare for the eventuality of termination, the authors suggest that executives adopt the assignment mind-set at all times. They should keep their social networks alive, include a termination clause in employment contracts, and consider hiring an agent. If warning signs warrant, they might even volunteer to be terminated. By assuming control over the way they are fired, people can gain control over their careers. |
Walter Freeman III and the Chaotic Nature of Dreams.
The contributions and life of Walter Freeman III are celebrated through an understanding of the neurodynamics of the dreaming brain. Beginning with a brief review of the universal dynamics of self-organizing systems, this paper turns to an exploration of dreaming through the application of concepts from chaos theory to brain activity during REM-state dreaming. Recent studies of the electrophysiology of the brain during REM state dreaming are reviewed, such as the active inhibition of sensory stimulation and, especially in REM sleep, alterations in the brain's dominant neuromodulatory systems, bombardment of the visual cortex with bursts of PGO activity, increased limbic system activity, and a reduction of activity in the brain's prefrontal regions. The paper briefly examines these findings in terms of the experience of dreaming itself as revealed by dream reports. The results suggest a reconciliation of brain-based and content-based attempts to understand the nature of dreaming. |
Nomenclature associated with chemical characterization of and compatibility evaluations for medical product delivery systems.
Delivery systems are used to store, contain, and/or administer liquid pharmaceutical products. Gaining an understanding of the chemical composition of such a delivery system is necessary with respect to effective system development, registration, and production. Additionally, the ability of the delivery system to impact the chemical composition of the contacted product may define the safety and/or efficacy of the product. Assessing the compatibility of the delivery system and the product is thus both necessary and desirable. The nomenclature associated with compatibility assessments has not been standardized, oftimes leading to conflicting or confusing information. This manuscript puts forth a nomenclature which classifies those chemical entities which participate in the system/product interaction and delineates the various extraction strategies which may be used in compatibility assessments. |
Say It, Don’t Jinx It!
Call me superstitious or NOT, because am not (I don’t fear black cats *cheeky grin* okay yikes! Just lied, they creep the hell-out-of me) but I have always had this thing with jinxing exciting moments. Like say you are in an extremely happy mood just because maybe someone is making you happy or you’re expecting something to come through and it’s not been confirmed or you’re eagerly waiting for an event that’s yet to come but you want to keep those exciting things at hush hush, so that you don’t jinx it.
Jinxing it in this case, is the exact opposite of what you’re experiencing or expecting happening. Like you becoming sad for whatever reason, or the thing you’re expecting gets turned down or the event is just a miss. Basically, a spoiler to the good things. So I got to thinking about it at some point, very critically I must say *cough*, in the hope that it sounds scholarly, why would I think that saying what am feeling or expecting be a jinx. If anything, what you confess with your mouth somehow becomes because your heart listens and your mind acts upon it. So if you avoid saying the nice things you are feeling, expecting and desiring, then your heart and mind listen and act upon your thoughts and that’s how you give room for the worst.
There’s was this evening I was beyond happy, you know the kind where everything is extremely funny with the full laughing to rib aches and tears at every word uttered. Then I don’t know how this happened, but in my mind I was questioning it and was like, “am too happy, I just hope the next level is still happy.” I was even going to mention it, I think on twitter (I mean that’s where it feels like you’re shouting at the rooftop when you’re in the comfort of your couch), but I was like nooo, I’ll jinx it. To my surprise, in not so long, something just dampened my moods, must’ve been a disagreement or something. But I hadn’t even said it *sob* I just thought it. Well a thought is also a confession, apparently. Now I figure.
You jinx it when you don’t say it! You thinking that something will turn out the worst should you say it is being pessimist O_O. No, I didn’t read this anywhere, it’s just a thought process. So to be positive and bring forth positive outcomes during moments and situations:
Say It, Don’t Jinx It!
In short, what am trying to say is don’t question your happiness, you deserve every bit of it. Even when it’s challenged or taken away, always try to get it back for its yours to have, own and flaunt! Have a Terrific Tuesday and be more than blessed *wink*. It’s CAT week, let me dash off to read, wish me luck now. Okay bye, for now!
Signing Off ~~~ *Kawi*

Impact of ionic and nanoparticle speciation states of silver on light harnessing photosynthetic events in Spirodela polyrhiza.
Owing to wide range of applications, nanotechnology is growing expeditiously. Likely negative impact of nanoparticles (NPs), which are inevitably released into our surroundings, on living organisms is of growing concern. Findings presented here are outcome of investigations carried out to evaluate the impact of ionic and NP speciation states of silver on light harnessing photosynthetic events in Spirodela polyrhiza fronds. Fronds exposed to ionic speciation state showed significant decline in PS (photosystem) II efficiency (Fv/Fm; variable fluorescence/maximal fluorescence), while those exposed to silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) showed marginal decline. Accordingly, decline in amplitude of Chl a fluorescence transients was sharper in fronds treated with Ag+ than those treated with Ag-NPs. Of the various phases Chl a fluorescence transient, J-I phase [which reflects reduction of plastoquinone (PQ) pool] was most sensitive to both Ag+ and Ag-NPs. Phenomenological yield models, built using Biolyzer software, revealed that fronds exposed to Ag+ possessed significantly lower potential to trap and harness absorbed light energy for photochemical reactions than those exposed to Ag-NPs. Accordingly, dissipation of absorbed light energy as heat was significantly higher in fronds exposed to Ag+ than those exposed to Ag-NPs. These findings revealed that NP speciation state of silver is significantly less toxic to light harnessing photosynthetic machinery of S. polyrhiza, compared to ionic speciation state. |
Commentary Compiled by Alex Grabtree
After we endured the division within the community because of the planned Ku Klux Klan rally between the Mayor and the police force and the NAACP, then we see the city face a complete lock-down of the city in a Security State that will close the Downtown area for one day. We find that homeless people will be adversely impacted because of the KKK rally.
NEOCH is hosting the Seventh Annual Homeless Stand Down all day service fair. Every service that a homeless person might need is provided at one location. There are medical services, donations, jobs information and sixty social service providers available for help. This year, we planned to have a Municipal Judge and City Prosecutor at the Stand Down in an attempt to clear up misdemeanor cases of homeless people. They could plead them out and be assigned community service at the Stand Down. This was modeled after the program in Cincinnati that has proven very successful.
The municipal judge was enthusiastic, the legal community was looking forward to this opportunity, but the Klan takes precedence. The City Prosecutors will all be in training on Friday before the Klan rally (the day of the Stand Down) to go over arrest protocols for the rally. They could not spare any staff to attend the Stand Down.
This must be marked down as a huge victory for the Klan. They have successfully attracted attention to their mission of hate for one month in Cleveland and they are basically shutting down municipal operations for two days. It is amazing that a call for hate has brought so much attention while a call for justice in our community hardly creates a ripple. |
Don't Call Me Cute: A Plea From A Short Girl
Don't Call Me Cute: A Plea From A Short Girl
Back when I started school, I was so tiny that even the smallest off-the-peg uniform had me resembling Tom Hanks at the end of Big, all trailing cuffs and quarterback shoulders. Turning up on my first day in the ensuing knockoff was my less than dizzying introduction to bespoke fashion. In High Wycombe in the early ‘90s, gingham wasn’t the big deal it is now.
"Look how CUTE you are!" friends shriek when I show them the class photo from that year. "LOOK AT YOUR TEENY FEET!" In the photo, my feet – admittedly teeny – dangle miles above the floor. Even I can see I’m adorable.
There are perks, of course. Most people will let me slip in front of them at gigs and music festivals; dating is (marginally) easier without the threat of a Rod Stewart-Penny Lancaster situation; and in Topshop, if the dress I want has sold out in my size on the main floor, I’ll often find it lurking in the Petite section. I hold fast to these little victories, for each is accompanied by a dozen defeats.
My teenage dream of dancing on Top of the Pops was dashed when I learned you had to be at least 5ft 4in to stand a chance of getting work; likewise my backup dream of becoming an air steward (I may have taken that "reach for the stars" memo too literally). Rush hour on the Tube is nerve-shredding: I can’t reach the overhead bar so if I find myself beyond touching distance of an upright, I have to pray for as tight a crush as possible, to keep from falling. As for what’s on the top shelf of my wardrobe – your guess is as good as mine.
But that’s all cosmetic, really. What narks me off is this perception that small equals girlish, delicate, dainty. Cute. Who decided that all the adjectives for women of diminutive stature should be similarly dinky? Why the collective jaw-drop when a short woman turns out to be powerful? Try googling "small female celebrities" – you’ll notice the results are depressingly uniform in tone. "You’d never know how tall Gaga is judging by her ginormous presence," gasps one writer, "but Mother Monster barely stands over five feet tall. Pretty surprising, considering the way she owns a room."

Then there’s Simone Biles, the incredible US gymnast who won four gold medals at the Rio Olympics. Media coverage of her performance was universally adulatory – words like "eye-popping", "strength" and "brilliance" abound – yet you’d be hard-pressed to uncover an article that doesn’t make a point of her height – even in women’s gymnastics, where athletes tend to be on the smaller side anyway. (Biles, if you must know, is 4ft 8in.)
Let’s be honest, though; I can’t imagine Lady Gaga losing sleep over a handful of "Fuck me sideways that woman is minuscule"-type editorials. The damage is done in the real world, to those of us without 67m Twitter followers or a stash of Olympic medals to waggle in the faces of our belittlers. I may be the eldest of three children, with a job and a flat and a demonstrable ability to keep out of trouble but, around my family, I revert to impractical, head-in-the-clouds liability. My mother visibly crumpled with relief when I arrived in Australia for my brother’s wedding earlier this year, having travelled out alone. “Did you know what to do?” she asked, as we discussed the flight. As if I hadn’t been on a plane before… Increasingly I wonder whether years of bear hugs and being told "I do worry about you, Katy, you’re so tiny" has coloured not just my mother’s impression of me but my impression of myself. Tell someone something often enough and they’ll start to believe it.
I've already resigned myself to making considerably less money than my taller colleagues over the course of my career. There are, apparently, certain "noncognitive abilities or social skills that are correlated with stature and rewarded in the labour market." Well, what about the former boss who would pantomime reeling back in shock whenever I spoke up for myself? Or the number of visitors at a recent university open day who asked my little sister – the tutor – what she was hoping to study? After a while, she said, the satisfaction of wrong-footing people gave way to exasperation. If these are the social skills deemed worthy of reward – rudeness and a tendency to patronise – then I'll take my circumscribed earning potential and run, thanks.
In the grand scheme of things, I know there are more pressing concerns. I know that having the space to air my woes is a luxury not afforded to many people with actual problems. But man, I’m tired of lads (it’s always lads) in the pub resting their pint glasses on my head. Or seizing me as an opportunity to bolster their fragile masculinity. "STOP FUCKING PICKING ME UP I’M NOT A BARBELL" I want to scream as yet another muscle-bound city boy hoists me over his shoulder. Perhaps I should make more of an effort to put my foot down. To call out the next person who dares equate my size with my strength. To take up more space in the world. In the meantime, can everyone agree to stop calling us short women "cute"? After all, we’re the perfect height to kick you in the shins. |
Q:
How to manage global variables in Spec Flow
I have a following test of my controller
[Binding]
public class RegisterUserSteps
{
private AccountController _accountController = new AccountController();
private ActionResult _result;
[When(@"the user goes to the register user screen")]
public void WhenTheUserGoesToTheRegisterUserScreen()
{
_result = _accountController.Register();
}
[Then(@"the register user view should be displayed")]
public void ThenTheRegisterUserViewShouldBeDisplayed()
{
Assert.AreEqual("Register", _accountController.ViewData["Title"]);
}
}
it works fine but it doesn't look good because i don't want to make global/class level variables . So what could be the alternate of these variables in spec flow . Because when we go into big application and single step file contain many scenarios then it will be a mess and will be hard to manage .
Thanks in advance
A:
I tend to use ScenarioContext.Current["KeyName"] so that I can define steps in different classes. See the specflow documentation: sharing data between bindings for more detail and some alternatives

Barbaloot – Goofy meets serious in this obvious homage to Dawn of the Dead. As reporter Frank West, it is your job to helicopter yourself into the violent territory of Willamette and find out what’s going on. The tone of this game is a constant whiplash, moving from ridiculous weapons, moves, and characters, to serious plot elements and story. But don’t be fooled, it blends together very well. While you could just mow down zombies to your heart’s content, using a variety of items from full out guns to potted plants, skateboards, and nerf launchers, there are other goals for you to accomplish. Being a reporter, it is your duty to get to the bottom of what is going on, and spread it to the world, and these clues are linked to time-sensitive missions that must be completed before a certain time. Everything in this game is time sensitive, really, and it may be hard for you to rescue everyone and still complete the main questline. I personally find that part of the fun, as finding good routes and getting better weaponry largely reduce the amount of lost quests. Overall, an extremely solid game that’s both fun to finish the story of, and just mess around in.
Divekick
Barbaloot – Who ever has looked at a fighting game and thought “this is far too complex for me. i wish there was something much simpler.” Well, friend, Divekick is for you. Everything in Divekick is done through two buttons, a gimmick that feels like it would get old fast if it wasn’t so well designed. The game basically boils down to spacing and angles. It couldn’t get too much simpler. The whole game is a deconstruction and satire of fighting game culture, so expect to see a healthy spattering of memes and references throughout. Don’t let that deter you though, the game still has plenty of depth to go around. Not to mention it’s simple but charming artwork, and very good ost, and I think you’ll be falling in love in no time.
Dragon Quest IX: Echoes of an Elusive Age
ladyjuice – This is my first game of the Dragon Quest series. The story isn’t boring or repetitive and I always felt compelled to go through with it. I loved all the main characters in the game and felt they all had purpose and individuality. Game play was well designed, the only complaint I’ve had was that the enemies were always too easy. Very appealing art style and soundtrack. I’m looking forward to playing more from this series.
Until Dawn
ladyjuice – If you like horror movies you will really enjoy playing this cinematic game. You get to choose who lives and dies throughout the whole game making it worth more than one play through. A creepy setting, a cabin, and a group of teenagers are the perfect ingredients for a horrific time. |

Q:
output pdf using stream
How do I output the pdf using expressjs:
var fs = require('fs');
var PdfPrinter = require('pdfmake/src/printer');
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
var printer = new PdfPrinter();
var first = 'Another paragraph, this time a little bit longer to make sure, this line will be divided into at least two lines';
var dd = {
content: [
first,
'Another paragraph'
]
};
var pdfDoc = printer.createPdfKitDocument(dd);
pdfDoc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('basics.pdf')).on('finish',function(){
//success
});
pdfDoc.end();
});
A:
You can pipe the output to res (after making sure that you set the correct Content-Type):
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
var printer = new PdfPrinter();
var first = 'Another paragraph, this time a little bit longer to make sure, this line will be divided into at least two lines';
var dd = {
content: [
first,
'Another paragraph'
]
};
// Make sure the browser knows this is a PDF.
res.set('content-type', 'application/pdf');
// Create the PDF and pipe it to the response object.
var pdfDoc = printer.createPdfKitDocument(dd);
pdfDoc.pipe(res);
pdfDoc.end();
});
(although I can't say that it yields legible PDF's for me, but neither does the code when run standalone or any of the pdfmake examples)

Q:
Why are eunuchs allowed to ride the cart to Vaes Dothrak?
In A Game of Thrones the following paragraph indicates that, on the ride to Vaes Dothrak, a cart is used to transport eunuchs, cripples, women giving birth, the very young and the very old:
Khal Drogo had offered him a place in a cart the next day, and Viserys had accepted.
In his stubborn ignorance, he had not even known he was being mocked; the carts were for eunuchs, cripples, women giving birth, the very young and the very old. That won him yet another name: Khal Rhaggat, the Cart King.
Why are eunuchs allowed to ride the cart?
A:
They are not considered "men" within the full context of the word.
As you can see, the rest of the people mentioned are all weak: cripples, women giving birth, the very young and the very old. All of them are weak and most likely not able or allowed to ride a horse, therefore the Dothraki would consider eunuchs equal to cripples (which they are, in a way).
The Dothraki traditions are a little different from our own.
At Daenerys' wedding, she notes that the male Dothraki would mate with whoever, whenever and wherever they wanted. So a male Dothraki without the ability to mate, would be considered less of a man.
Just like @HorusKol said in the comments, this is a way to show how low their status is.

The invention relates to systems and methods for removing extraneous image material of a document being digitally scanned to provide an enhanced copy including all of the desired data and image information of the originally scanned document but omitting as much extraneous image material as possible without affecting the desired data and image information.
Documents frequently are scanned from a paper copy, or a “copy-of-a-copy”, or the like into a digital representation by means of a digital scanner. The digital representation thus created usually is initially in the form of a sequence of pages, each represented as a sequence of pixels or “run-lengths”. The digital representation produced by scanning of the document often contains undesirable image elements referred to as “noise” in addition to the “essential data” or “desired data” making up the essential meaning of the images of the document. Furthermore, the essential data may be geometrically distorted from its ideal form in either a linear or non-linear manner. The amount and type of noise and/or distortion depends upon both the particular digital scanning process used and the quality of the scanned document. It is important to remove as much noise and distortion from the scanned representation as possible, both to improve the esthetic appearance of “enhanced” or “cleaned” copies of the document reconstructed from the digital representation, and to make text and other images in the “reconstructed” document more legible. This is especially important if the scanned document is to be processed by optical character recognition (OCR) software. Furthermore, for some kinds of encoding, such as run-length encoding, a digital representation including noise requires more storage space in which to store the digital representation. Also, more time is required for digital processing of image data including noise.
The removal of noise and correction of distortion is referred to herein as “enhancement” or “clean-up”. Usually, clean-up of digitally scanned images from a document requires substantial human intervention. For example, a human operator may be required to delineate regions on the document in which speckles are to be removed and/or to specify a maximum speckle size for removal in each region. The operator also may be required to specify the orientation of the document so that it can be rotated to correct for a small amount of skewing introduced during the scanning process. Such manual interventions are time-consuming, and need to repeated for each document or page to be “cleaned up.
Thus, there is an unmet need for an automatic system and technique for fast, inexpensive “clean-up” of noise and distortion in images digitally scanned from an original document or the like which ensures that no desired or essential image data will be lost. |
Pigments from Soil Bacteria and Their Therapeutic Properties: A Mini Review.
Advancement in research on dyes obtained from natural sources e.g., plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms is widening the application of natural dyes in various fields. The natural dyes substituted their synthetic analogs at the beginning of twentieth century due to their improved quality, value, ease of production, ease of dyeing and some other factors. This era of dominance ended soon when toxic effects of synthetic dyes were reported. In the last few decades, pigments from micro-organisms especially soil derived bacteria is replacing dyes from other natural sources because of the increasing demand for safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable natural product. Apart from application in agriculture practices, cosmetics, textile, food and paper industries, bacterial pigments have additional biological activities e.g., anti-tumor, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, immunosuppressive anti-viral, and many more which make them a potential candidate for pharmaceutical industry. Optimization of culture conditions and fermentation medium is the key strategies for large scale production of these natural dyes. An effort has been done to give an overview of pigments obtained from bacteria of soil origin, their dominance over dyes from other sources (natural and synthetic) and applications in the medical world in the underlying study. |
How to Write C Program to Reverse a Linked List Elements?
Linked list is the crucial data structure which contents list of the nodes. Each node has data variable to store data and node pointer to point next node in the linked list. In the previous post, we have seen the implementation of the Linked List in C. In this post, we see how to reverse the elements of linked list using three pointers.
The original Linked list will be passed to the function to reverse. It will exchange the links between every two consecutive nodes. This reverse a Linked List function will maintain two lists: one linked list contents reverse elements and second linked list contents remaining elements that need to be reversed.
Reverse a Linked list is one of the important questions to be asked in many placement interviews. I was asked to write code for this program in IBM ISDL placement.
Logically reverse a linked list function seems kinda difficult, but if you see the code for it, it is so simple and easy to understand.
Difficulty Level: Medium
Time Complexity: O(n)
We are traversing each element at one time, so its complexity is O(n).

When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression . . .
In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness . . . |
Dave Lazer’s new article for the Saatchi Gallery Magazine – ‘MUGGED’
MUGGED.
One of the problems with being called Dave is that you find yourself needlessly turning ‘round a lot. Whether someone has actually shouted ‘Dave’ or not doesn’t usually matter. There are thousands of Daves in London, but when shouted, it sounds exactly the same as ‘hey!’, ‘wait!’ and ‘mate’; thus supplementing my already busy turning ‘round schedule.
This particular superfluous turn around would prove more eventful than most. I instantly realised both that the young antagonist of the opening section of my piece had shouted “OI MATE” and that he wasn’t now, nor likely ever going to be, my ‘mate’. Mates don’t generally try to stab each other, at least not this early on in the relationship.
As he walked hurriedly towards me, he pulled a knife from his pocket, grabbed me by the bicep and introduced himself by asking, “What you got? What you got?”.
I looked down at the knife. It wasn’t the kind of cool knife that people in films get mugged with. It was a medium sized kitchen knife with a handle made of that kind of frosted clear plastic they use to make chopping boards, that looks great when you buy it, but then after a few weeks starts to look like gritted snow. I didn’t have long to ponder the aesthetics of the weapon as before I knew it, he was stood directly behind me with the knife now being held against my lower back.
I honestly can’t remember, what he said after this. I was preoccupied with the thought of having one of my kidneys punctured by my assailant’s Ikea dagger. I’ve never wanted anything to happen to my kidneys that would result in me pissing blood. I’ve always imagined pissing blood to be one of the most unpleasant disturbances the human body could possibly endure. It just sounds grim and incredibly messy.
Past this black spot, I remember everything. He’s now pocketed my phone and is rooting through my wallet. He’d had to remove the knife from my back in order to forage through the dry cleaners tickets, Starbucks coupons and Post Office receipts that make up the bulk of my wallets misleading girth, clearly disgruntled by the meagre tenner inside. Failing to realise the value of the actual wallet, he handed it back to me. Which, I suppose, I should try and see as some kind of silver lining.
As he began edging away, in an attempt to bestow some kind of Robin Hood rationale to his actions, he barked “I know this ain’t nice yeah, but a brother gotta eat”.
“What? you want to eat my phone? You want to EAT MY FUCKING PHONE?” I replied.
Except of course I didn’t say that. I didn’t say anything, I just stood there confused and still scared he’d change his mind and stab me anyway – I wasn’t going to get stabbed for being a smartarse. As he disappeared into the night he bellowed “call the Police and I’ll HUNT you and KILL you”.
Suddenly, as the immediate danger had subsided and I knew I was safe, the confusion and trepidation that had been coursing through my veins was replaced by anger and animosity. I was right by my building, I could literally see it throughout the whole ordeal. I indignantly marched through the front door and up to my flat. At some point during this extremely brief journey I must have decided that I didn’t care if he was going to ‘hunt me and kill me’, as I walked straight in and called the police.
After a brief conversation with the operator, I was informed that the Police were on their way and would be there in about fifteen minutes. I remember feeling quite impressed at the promptness of service being provided. It’s reassuring to know that my (ok, your) tax money isn’t all being spent on high speed rail links and glorified sports days.
As I was sat down waiting for the police to arrive, it suddenly occurred to me that the police were coming here. Fuck. I looked over at the table, It was almost entirely shrouded by Rizlas, tiny bits of blue cardboard, little plastic bags and residual bits of my flatmate’s exotic tobacco. I flung all of the windows open, quickly grabbed a box and began desperately filling it with anything in the room that looked the remotest bit illegal. I was going to need a bigger box.
I chucked the box into my flatmates room, closed the door, emptied all the ashtrays I could find into the bin and began spraying kitchen cleaner into the air to try and stop the flat smelling like a Haitian squat. I obviously didn’t do a good enough job, as when I opened the door to the two WPCs, they instantly started taking exaggerated sniffs and exchanged knowing glances with one another.
As I showed them into the living room, I couldn’t help but be amazed at how fat one of them was. She was seriously fat, not just out of shape, but, for a human being, entirely the wrong shape. Her uniform must have had to have been specially made at my (ok, your) expense. She was wider than she was tall. I fully accept that she has every right to be wider than she is tall if she so wishes, but her job involves chasing after people. She should definitely be less fat – she owes it to the public.
As I sat on the sofa relaying my story to the fat WPC and the less fat (but, come to think about it, still actually quite fat) WPC, I became acutely aware that it was beginning to sound a bit made up. It didn’t feel like I was recounting actual events, it felt like I was vaguely describing an episode of The Bill I’d seen a few years ago, but hadn’t really been paying attention to.
“where did the mugging take place?”
“in a dark alleyway”
“what did the mugger look like?”
“he was black and was wearing a hoody”
Starting to worry they were going to think I was making it all up to make a spurious insurance claim, I considered jazzing up some of the facts. Perhaps the mugger could have been on roller skates, maybe I could say I thought he looked ‘half black, half Chinese or something’- anything to stop this sounding like the most hackneyed, made up mugging of the year.
Thankfully, before I had the chance to embark on what I’m now sure would be an ill-advised, confusing ramble; the less fat WPC suddenly stopped writing and pointed at a large box on the floor. Poking out of the box was what looked like an absolutely massive green bong.
“What’s that?”
“erm.. it’s a hooka pipe”
“What do you smoke in it?”
“Nothing, I’ve never used it. Its purely ornamental, my sister gave it to me. I don’t even want it. I’m going to throw it away”
She then began inspecting it. What the fuck? this wasn’t a raid, I’m the victim here. I’d INVITED the police ‘round here to take a statement and now they were rummaging through my stuff. How has this happened?
“Look, its just a stupid souvenir thing. I’m not even sure it actually works, it’s nothing. Can we please get back to me getting mugged? I want to get this sorted” I said with notable agitation. She reluctantly stopped and turned her attention back to me and the fattest Policewoman in the world. “Have you cancelled the phone? You need to report it stolen to your service provider, they’ll give you a code and you need to give that to us”. I hadn’t, and as my house phone is a bright pink rotary dial, which looks cool but is entirely useless when presented with automated menus, we made our way to the computer in my bedroom so I could cancel it online.
Like an idiot running willingly into a pit of fire, I opened the door to my room and my heart instantly sank. Sat in the middle of the floor were four more hooka pipes, one was parcelled and addressed ready to post to a friend.
Before you come to the same conclusions as the b(l)obbys, let me explain- My sister works for a hotel chain and was for some reason given a load of hooka pipes as gifts. She was throwing them out and I (for reasons I cannot fully comprehend) said I wanted them. I really didn’t want them; I just thought I did, very briefly, at the time. I certainly didn’t want them now.
“And these?”, enquired the fattest Policewoman in the world, clearly wanting to get in on the Columbo-esq sleuth work displayed by the less fat, but still actually quite fat Policewoman. “Are you selling these?” she continued, sensing a completely erroneous lead. “Are you selling these bubble pipes on the internet?” she probed, pointing at the large box wrapped in parcel paper ready to be posted. “No I’m not, honestly, my sister gave them to me. Some Arabs gave them to her and she didn’t want them so she gave them to me, I don’t even want them”.
“Do you smoke cannabis David?”. “No I don’t”, I answered honestly, beginning to both panic and become distinctly incensed. “I really don’t, test my piss if you like, I don’t smoke cannabis. Do you want to take some of my piss? I will honestly piss in a bottle and you can take it and test it. Then I want you to come back here and apologise to me for calling me a drug user. Now if you don’t mind I’ll get this code from o2 and you can be on your way”
My outburst had clearly shocked them as they both sat in silence on my bed as I sat typing to someone on the o2 live chat help thingy. I don’t think I’ve ever typed so fast in my entire life, I just wanted this fucking code so I could get them out of the flat. They were making a horrible evening even worse.
I wrote down the code, handed it to the fattest Policewoman in the world and executed a loud exhale intended to convey a feeling of content, followed by a “there you go”.
“Thank you, we’ll be in touch if we manage to recover your phone”
-“Fat chance of that happening” I replied, very gingerly emphasising the word ‘fat’. |

Photo-aligned ferroelectric liquid crystals in microchannels.
In this Letter we disclose a method to realize a good alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) in microchannels, based on photo-alignment. The sulfonic azo dye used in our research offers variable anchoring energy depending on the irradiation energy and thus provides good control on the FLC alignment in microchannels. The good FLC alignment has been observed only when anchoring energy normalized to the capillary diameter is less than the elastic energy of the FLC helix. The same approach can also be used for the different microstructures viz. photonic crystal fibers, microwaveguides, etc. which gives an opportunity for designing a photonic devices based on FLC. |
NEW DELHI: With actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani entering the fray as a BJP candidate in Amethi , a war of words has broken out between her and AAP contender Kumar Vishwas over his remark that any "Irani or Pakistani" will not make any difference in the constituency."The message has reached villages. Now whether Irani comes, Pakistani comes, Italian or American... But Amethi has already taken a decision," the AAP candidate from Amethi Lok Sabha constituency said.BJP had yesterday decided to field Irani to take on Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi in Amethi.Vishwas charged that there was some understanding between BJP and Congress in the Varanasi and Amethi seats."I think BJP is doing either some face saving or some nexus, may have been through Ahmed (Patel) uncle that you give us in Varanasi, we will give you in Amethi," he saidReacting to the jibe, Irani said, "The understanding between AAP and Congress is publicly known and was very visible when they formed a government in Delhi."Taking on the AAP candidate, she said, "As far as Vishwas is concerned, I do not expect an iota of respect from him, especially being a woman. He has a history of being disrespectful towards women. That has been topic of conversation in many a channel.""In terms of calling me an Irani or a Pakistani, I am sure his general knowledge is quite reduced to when he comes to my own personal backward. I do not know whether Vishwas wants to fight the elections on issues of development. I will only say that the contest is between Congress and BJP and not between any B team of the Congress party," she said.After the party announced her nomination, Irani had said last night, "In the name of the 'family', the people of Amethi have been kept away from the fruits of development for too long. I think it is an extreme shame."She had said that a change will brought about in the country under the leadership of Narendra Modi. |

However, at the end, the local law enforcement officers provide a quick demonstration of how this technology works. I’m a believer! |
Q:
Is every filtration the natural filtration of some stochastic process?
We have a notion of natural filtrations, which intuitively represents the history of the process as the process evolves over time.
We also have a notion of filtrations in general, which are increasing sequence of sub-sigma algebras.
Naturally, the latter concept is more abstract than the former, and I am having trouble getting a concrete grip on the latter.
In particular, if we have a stochastic process X, and a filter F, I tend to look at F as a natural filtration (although we only know it's a filtration in general, and not necessarily a natural one) of some other process Y. Can we do that?
As to why I am doing what I am doing, in many practical scenarios (like quantitative finance, which I am studying), we would be directly observing the process Y (say Y is the share price process) and hence our information would be the natural filtration of Y, but we might be interested in a slightly different process X (which might be the log of the share price or some other functional transformation say). In this scenario, the natural filtration of Y is simply a filtration from the perspective of X, and not a natural one.
Thanks a lot in advance!
A:
Let $(\Omega,\mathcal F,\mathbb P)$ be a probability space equipped with a filtration $(\mathcal F_t)_{t\in\mathbb R_+}$.
For all $t\in\mathbb R_+$, let $Y_t:(\Omega,\mathcal F)\to(\Omega,\mathcal F_t)$ be defined for all $\omega\in\Omega$ by $Y_t(\omega)=\omega$. Then we clearly have $\sigma(Y_s,s\le t)=\mathcal F_t$, hence $(\mathcal F_t)_{t\in\mathbb R_+}$ is the natural filtration of the stochastic process $Y:(\Omega,\mathcal F)\to(\Omega^{\mathbb R_+},\bigotimes_{t\in\mathbb R_+}\mathcal F_t),\omega\mapsto(\omega)_{t\in\mathbb R_+}$.
So for any filtration $(\mathcal F_t)_{\mathbb R_+}$, there exists a measurable space $(E,\mathcal E)$ and a stochastic process $Y:\Omega\to E$ such that for all $t\in\mathbb R_+$, $\mathcal F_t=\sigma(Y_s,s\le t)$.
A much more interesting question would be to know whether this is true when $(E,\mathcal E)$ is fixed. For instance, for any filtration $(\mathcal F_t)_{t\in\mathbb R_+}$, does there exists a real-valued process $(Y_t:\Omega\to(\mathbb R,\mathcal B(\mathbb R))_{t\in\mathbb R_+}$ such that $(\mathcal F_t)_{t\in\mathbb R_+}$ is the natural filtration of $Y$? The answer is no, as shown is this post Is every sigma-algebra generated by some random variable?.
In many pratical scenarios like quantitative finance, as you said, you are very likely to deal with the natural filtration of an observable process $Y$ and you are interested in a different process $X$. But when $X$ is a one-to-one and onto function of $Y$, then the natural filtrations of $X$ and $Y$ are the same.

Q:
Change checkbox checked status based on $_GET parameters
I'm working on a project for a university to register the students. I'm using PHP and Ajax. I created a page to show every student data and there is a button to edit the registers (you can either update or delete one of the registers). One of the parameters that every student has is where he is either active or not. So, when you click at the edit button it sends this information via URL to the edit student page (edit.php?active=yes if the student is active or, edit.php?active=no if the student is not active).
The problem is the following: at this edit student page I have a checkbox that says "Active student" and I want it to be checked if the active=yes and not checked if active=no (maybe the admin just want to change the student's email and if this checkbox is in a different state, it will result in a wrongly activated or deactivated student.
I tried a lot of solutions but none seems to be working for me. Can you guys help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
A:
I would adjust Dialex answer to:
<input type="checkbox" name="status" value="active" <?php if(isset($_GET['active']) && $_GET['active'] == 'yes') { echo 'checked'; } ?> > Active student

A Bayesian network model for automatic and interactive image segmentation.
We propose a new Bayesian network (BN) model for both automatic and interactive image segmentation. A multilayer BN is constructed from an oversegmentation to model the statistical dependencies among superpixel regions, edge segments, vertices, and their measurements. The BN also incorporates various local constraints to further restrain the relationships among these image entities. Given the BN model and various image measurements, belief propagation is performed to update the probability of each node. Image segmentation is generated by the most probable explanation inference of the true states of both region and edge nodes from the updated BN. Besides the automatic image segmentation, the proposed model can also be used for interactive image segmentation. While existing interactive segmentation (IS) approaches often passively depend on the user to provide exact intervention, we propose a new active input selection approach to provide suggestions for the user's intervention. Such intervention can be conveniently incorporated into the BN model to perform actively IS. We evaluate the proposed model on both the Weizmann dataset and VOC2006 cow images. The results demonstrate that the BN model can be used for automatic segmentation, and more importantly, for actively IS. The experiments also show that the IS with active input selection can improve both the overall segmentation accuracy and efficiency over the IS with passive intervention. |
Q:
cannot access controls in asp.net application
I am working on an ASP.NET VB.NET Web Application. I inherited a bunch of forms from another application we have in house. I'm running into a very strange problem when working on the Login page.
This is an abbreviated version of my code:
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="Server">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<span id="Span1" runat="Server" style="Color: Red"></span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<span id="Span1" runat="Server" style="Color: Red"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:login>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</asp:Content>
I have a <span id="span1"> that is located inside my web form, within the Content part of the page. I can easily access this in my CodeBehind, and do whatever I want to do with it. However, if i move that span and put it inside the <asp:login> part of the page, it doesn't seem to recognize it, it won't let me access it in code behind, it gives me a squiggly blue line and says
span1 is not declared. It may inaccessible due to protection level
This bit is from the top of the webform in designer
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Login.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" %>
This bit is from the Login.aspx.vb page
Partial Class _Default
Just to say it again, id="span1" works perfectly fine where it is shown in the code above, but when I move it inside the I cannot reference it anymore. Since I'm talking about this issue, for that matter I cannot add any new controls inside because I am not able to reference any other controls in vb.net. (this form was pretty much copied from another project, everything works properly I'm just not sure why I'm having this strange issue)
I noticed that a lot of people have similar issues, but in my case I'm working with <asp:login> and I'm really not sure how it's affecting my controls.
EDIT: <span id="Span1" runat="Server" style="Color: Red"></span>
A:
As per my comments, and as requested by the OP...
You're hitting a problem with the naming container.
When the <span runat="server"> is outside of the <asp:Login><LayoutTemplate> it exists as an object within the page, which you can reference directly.
As soon as it's moved within that <LayoutTemplate> it becomes a child of the <asp:Login> control instead.
So to access the control, you can use the following...
CType(Logon1.FindControl("span1"), HtmlGenericControl).InnerHtml = "hello"
The FindControl will bring back an object, but it needs to be "boxed" into the correct type before you can access the InnerHtml property

Inflammatory myelopathy presenting as a cystic intramedullary spinal cord lesion.
A case of subacute progressive spinal tetraparesis had myelographic evidence of cervical spinal cord swelling and a delayed metrizamide computed tomographic myelogram (MCTM) suggested cavitation within the swollen spinal cord. Surgical exploration of the cervical cord revealed inflammatory changes only. No syrinx or intramedullary tumour was found. The accumulation of metrizamide within the spinal cord, as demonstrated by MCTM, did not represent a syrinx or a cystic tumour, but more likely an area of inflammation. Because inflammatory myelopathy may simulate an intramedullary tumor or syrinx, careful analysis of all clinical and radiological information is necessary to help make a correct diagnosis. |
[The protocol and design of etiological study.].
An accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are based on deep insight into the etiology of a disease. With the development of society, some diseases have been controlled successfully since their cause and mechanism are well understood, but a few more new diseases arose. It is necessary to study them by a proper design for establishing a correct diagnosis and effective therapy. The basic knowledge is rather important for clinicians. This paper introduces the commonly used protocol and design of etiological study with an example of the study on caries etiology. |
Histopathological patterns in dermatitis artefacta.
Dermatitis artefacta is a relevant and frequently unrecognized clinical condition associated with self-harming behavior, in which unconscious manipulation causes skin lesions. While atypical lesions and an unusual disease course may give rise to clinical suspicion of a self-induced disorder, questioning and examining these patients usually fails to confirm or clarify this suspicion. In this setting, the dermatopathologist may be faced with the question whether there are any histological signs corroborating the diagnosis of dermatitis artefacta. We conducted a Pubmed search (without time frame) using the terms "dermatitis artefacta", "factitious/factitial dermatitis", "artefactual skin" in combination with "histology" or "pathology". Given the low number of hits, we extended the search by adding terms related to certain types of injuries (for example, "burn" or "cold") in order to identify specific patterns. In general, there are only few studies investigating the histological features of factitious skin disorders. Another problem arises from the fact that, even if clinical and histological findings are suggestive of dermatitis artefacta, subsequent confirmation of the exact mechanism of injury is frequently not possible, thus leaving room for speculation. This complicates defining specific histological patterns based on the various types of injuries. Overall, the results of the present study suggest that a factitious disorder should be considered if histological findings include blistering with a mild inflammatory infiltrate, rupture of collagen fibers, multinucleated keratinocytes, or elongated and vertically aligned keratinocytic nuclei. |
Research and development in integrated microelectronics have continued to produce astounding progress in CMOS and MEMS. CMOS technology has become the predominant fabrication technology for integrated circuits. MEMS technology continues to rely upon conventional processing. In layman's terms, microelectronic integrated circuits are the “brains” of an integrated device which provides decision-making capabilities, whereas MEMS are the “eyes” and “arms” that provide the ability to sense and control the environment. Some examples of the widespread application of these technologies are the switches in radio frequency (RF) antenna systems, and accelerometers in sensor-equipped game devices. These technologies are becoming ever more prevalent in society every day. Use of integrated circuits and MEMS has limitless applications through modular measurement devices such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, actuators, microphones, and sensors including magnetic field sensors, pressure sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, chemical sensors, biosensors, and inertial sensors
Monolithic integration of MEMS devices and CMOS devices offers significant benefits enabling high volume production driving down the per-unit costs of sensor and actuator systems significantly. Micromechanical transducer systems not only need to receive analog and digital electrical inputs and transmit the output, but should also be able to measure rotation, strain, temperature, pressure, acceleration, infrared radiation, or micro fluidic chemical properties of liquids and gasses. Effective integration offers other benefits, including, simplifying interconnect issues, reduced packaging and fabrication complexity and significantly improving the overall performance and ease of use for the device.
One approach to the monolithic integration of CMOS and MEMS is to modify the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) foundry facility to fabricate micromechanical structures. In such an approach, CMOS devices and MEMS devices may be fabricated side-by-side on a semiconductor substrate. A disadvantage of this arrangement is cross talk caused by the MEMS devices and CMOS devices. Shielding has been proposed to reduce cross talk; however, use of shielding increases processing costs as well as the chip space required by the devices.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a method for fabricating an improved integrated MEMS-CMOS device. Further, it is desirable to provide an improved integrated MEMS-CMOS device. Also, it is desirable to provide an improved method for fabricating MEMS devices and CMOS devices on a substrate. 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 this background. |
Then, we need to create a dfe.conf file in our project's directory (src/hello_world/dfe.conf) to hold our application definition.For now it should be very simple, the example below targets the ioNode (simply adapt mmcu and freq variables if you're using a different platform):
You might notice the infinite for-loop at the end of the main function. Since our main function is the main entry point for our application, returning from it makes no sense. Actually, returning from it will produce unpredictable behavior as the flow of execution might end up anywhere within the program-space of our microcontroller...
For this reason it is important to keep in mind that your main function should never return.
We may now write whatever application code we want within this main function.
A library is provided as part of the Dooba SDK to simplify this: eloop.The eloop library actually implements the main function presented in the previous section. It assumes your code provides two functions:
void init() - your init function, called once during startup
void loop() - your update function, called repeatedly until power off
To use it, simply define eloop as a dependency in your application's dfe.conf file:
As explained in building with dbuild, any source file placed in our project's directory will automatically get picked up and built by dbuild.Therefore adding more files to your project is as simple as that - no need to declare them anywhere. |
Q:
Problem with using Ext.msg.alert on a popped Panel form
I'm showing myFormPanel includes a form.I'm opening this panel like :
popUpPanel = new myFormPanel();
popUpPanel.show();
I've put some validations for the form inside that panel and wanted to show such
validation error message with Ext.Msg.alert('please enter X');
Problem is; when I pop this validation message with Ext.Msg.alert myFormPanel is destroyed.
I think it is because my form and alert uses the same layer so Sencha destroys myFormPanel and shows alert message box.
How can I solve this issue? Is it possible to isolate myFormPanel popup layer and Ext.Msg.alert layer?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
A:
I think this is a bug, but you can simply set hideOnMaskTap to false overcome this.
Working example: fiddle - toggle hideonMaskTap to see the effect.
By default, this config is true, and in documentation,
True to automatically bind a tap listener to the mask that hides the window. Defaults to true. Note: if you set this property to false you have to programmaticaly hide the overlay.
It seems like Msg.alert is causing some confusion here and FormPanel think you are clicking on the mask, and hence causes the panel to dismiss. Perhaps this is the quickest way to solve your problem for now.

Freezer challenge: tomatoes, kale, bell peppers
First is Jeremy's take on vegetarian lasagna. Jeremy' isn't a big pasta fan so I think this only had two layers of lasagna noodles. He made his own red sauce with our frozen tomatoes and frozen roasted bell peppers, and some of our onions and garlic that have been stashed away. The green layer is a mix of ricotta and kale from the freezer, blended up in the food processor. Then of course lots of mozzarella sprinkled over the top.

An integrated circuit (IC) device comprises a semiconductor die in which circuitry has been formed, this circuitry including a collection of circuit elements such as transistors, diodes, capacitors, resistors, etc. To provide electrical connections amongst devices on the die and between the die and a next-level component (e.g., a package substrate), an interconnect structure is formed over a surface of the die. The interconnect structure may comprises a number of levels of metallization, each layer of metallization separated from adjacent levels by a layer of dielectric material and interconnected with the adjacent levels by vias. The dielectric layers of the interconnect structure are often each referred to as an “interlayer dielectric” (or “ILD”), and a common material used to fabricate these ILD layers is SiO2. The metallization on each layer comprises a number of conductors (e.g., traces) that may route signal, power, and ground lines to and from the circuitry formed on the die.
For some IC device applications, it may be desirable to increase the I/O (input/output) density of a semiconductor die while also reducing the size of the die. To achieve such a result, it may be necessary to decrease the spacing between conductive traces in the interconnect structure formed on the die. Space reductions include reducing the spacing between traces in the same level of metallization, as well as reducing the spacing between traces in adjacent metallization levels. As the spacing between conductors of an interconnect structure decreases, the potential for coupling capacitance between closely spaced traces and propagation delays may significantly increase. The coupling capacitance and propagation delays may be minimized by reducing the dielectric constant of the material that separates the conductive traces of the interconnect structure. Thus, manufacturers of IC devices may turn to dielectric materials having a lower dielectric constant—e.g., “low-k” dielectrics—to construct the ILD layers of the interconnect structure. Examples of such low-k dielectric materials include carbon doped oxide (CDO), fluorinated silicon glass (FSG), aerogels, xerogels, nanoporous silicon dioxide, and benzocyclobutane (BCB). However, these low-k dielectrics may have poor mechanical integrity in comparison to traditional dielectric materials (e.g., SiO2) and, therefore, may be more susceptible to cracking and/or delamination during assembly (e.g., wirebonding) and testing. |
Q:
Is it bad practice to add non standard attributes to DOM elements? - HTML/Javascript
Possible Duplicate:
Is it considered bad practice to use non-standard HTML attributes?
Hi folks,
I'm building a javascript library, the idea of which is to add functionality to various elements on page.
Easiest way for complete isolation would be to add a non standard attribute
e.g. <div special="true" >...</div>
Other alternatives are classes and onclick javascript.
Any ideas?
A:
HTML5 supports "data" type attributes, but in general for a modern day site, this would cause most sites to fail validation if they are going for any doctype other than HTML5.
So that would just be adding a barrier to entry for potential users of your library.
A:
Don't do it. I've learned the hard way that this is not cross-browser. I had a jQuery-intensive app totally fail to function in Chrome because of this.

Q:
Method name conflict for getter getId()
I'm trying to implement a getter method to get the id of an object: this method should be declared as "public int getId()".
The problem is that the object class extends the Thread class, that already have a "int getId()" method.
When i try to compile i get this error: The return type is incompatible with Thread.getId().
Is there a way to solve this problem (maybe with some kind of annotation)?
A:
No, there's no way to solve that with an annotation. But luckily for you, there's a way to solve that with better design.
Instead of extending Thread implement Runnable instead.

Lumixyl Brightening System incorporates a series of unique and powerful features to bring a brighter, healthier and more even skin tone for all skin types (including darker skin types). It started when a group of Dermatologists studied what effects Peptides can have when used on your skin. They found that certain Peptides can bind Tyrosinase – an enzyme found in your skin to produce pigment, this resulted in a reduction of pigment formation. With this revolutionary discovery, Lumixyl has now added these Peptides to their products for the effective management of pigmentation. |
Q:
Why does `rm` claim my symlink is a directory?
I made a symlink to a directory like this:
ln -s /some/directory symlink
Now I'd like to remove the symlink:
rm symlink/
This doesn't work. The error message is:
rm: cannot remove 'symlink/': Is a directory
What am I doing wrong? Why does rm claim my symlink is a directory? How to remove the symlink properly?
A:
There is this question: When should I use a trailing slash on a directory? and one of the answers says:
rm won't let you remove a symlink to a directory if there's a slash at the end
It's like you told rm the object is a directory.
rm symlink/ # wrong
rm symlink # right

Q:
Why Sharing Namespaces with Interface in C#
I have a large Project with an Interface for each class:
For example:
Project XY:
Namespace XY-
Class A,B,C
Project XY.Shared:
Namespace XY.Shared-
Class IA,IB,IC
Implemented
Namespace XY
Class A,B,C
Namespace XY
Class IA,IB,IC
Question
Whats the added value from sharing the Namespace with the Interface or is this just a Buisness Guidline ?
A:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Shared namespace" but as far as those go, it depends largely on your overall architecture.
In an N-Layered domain architecture, I would for example use the following namespaces:
MyProject.Domain.Entities.Person; // Person class
MyProject.Domain.Contracts.IPeopleRepository; // Definition of my interface
MyProject.Data.Sql.PeopleRepository; // Implementation of the interface
In large projects, it makes sense to organize interfaces (contracts) and their implementations in separate dlls (namespaces). Makes it easier to understand and read what goes where

The integration of restorations with existent partial dentures.
The relationship between an occlusal rest or clasp arm of a partial denture and the respective supporting tooth is critical and should be exact. Because of the necessity on occasion to remove the natural supportive enamel due to underlying caries, it becomes important that any restoration replacing the enamel should have the same configuration as before if the function of the rest or clasp is to be restored. This intricacy is often casually dealt with in practice. A simple but more exact technique to overcome this problem is described. |

HM17, a new polyene antifungal antibiotic produced by a new strain of Spirillospora.
An antifungal antibiotic (HM17) was obtained from a new isolate classified to the genus Spirillospora on the basis of its chemical and morphological properties. On solid media this antibiotic strongly inhibited the growth of strains of Fusarium oxysporum formae speciales albedinis, Botrytis cinerea, Gaeumaniomyces graminis and several other fungi known to be plant and human pathogens. Antifungal activity in culture collection strains of Spirillospora has not so far been reported. The u.v. absorption spectrum and physico-chemical characteristics place HM17 in the methylpentaene sub-group of polyene macrolides. HM17 is different from other known methylpentaenes. This is the first report of polyene production by a Spirillospora. |

Gavin McInnes, famous for co-founding Vice and founding the Proud Boys, said it should be a “hate crime” to punch a Nazi.
The Proud Boys got national media attention in October when they beat up a man in New York City while calling him a “faggot.”
On his webcast CRTV, McInnes’s producer Ryan Katsu Rivera said that he was called a “Nazi” at a restaurant.
McInnes said that it was an “epithet” and Rivera said it was “the worst thing” a person could be called.
Related: Founder of alt-right ‘Proud Boys’ defends calling victims ‘faggots’ during vicious beatdown
“How is ‘Nazi’ not as bad as ‘faggot?’” McInnes said, making the very old argument that being called a bigot is the worst form of bigotry there is.
“I think they’re both pretty bad,” McInnes continued. “Like, say you beat up a guy and you were screaming ‘Nazi’ as you beat him up. Couldn’t you argue that’s a hate crime?”
“Because when you beat up a gay guy and you say that word, the f-word, it’s seen as homophobic because he’s not that word, he’s a homosexual, not a f-word,” he said.
“So if you’re getting beat up, and someone says ‘Nazi’ — you’re obviously not a Nazi — then they’re using a derogatory word and they’re using ideology to beat you up, to justify it. So, it sounds like the same thing to me.”
Except, no, that’s not how it works.
A hate crime isn’t shouting “faggot” while committing a crime, it’s committing a crime while motivated by bias against a protected class. The fact that someone – like, say, the Proud Boys themselves – shouted “faggot” is just evidence about their motive, not the hate crime per se.
Moreover, Nazis aren’t a protected class, because protected classes are groups of people who could contribute meaningfully to society but who are targeted for discrimination because of stereotypes.
Nazis, on the other hand, can’t contribute meaningfully to society and they are targeted because of their actions, not false stereotypes of their actions.
So if someone punches McInnes while calling him a Nazi, they’ll get prosecuted for assault against one person, not an act of terror against the entire Nazi community. |
There Are Many Good Reasons For Buying Used Cars
Did you know that a new vehicle loses some of its value as soon as it is taken off the lot? That’s right. A new automobile becomes just like all the other used cars out there as soon as you sign on the dotted line. That is one of the many reasons why pre-owned vehicles are a better value. Models with just a thousand or so miles on them sell for a lot less. Plus, dealerships that sell these kinds of automobiles still offer buyers warranties and cash incentives.
Would the idea of a used car appeal to you more if buying one meant you could save money on insurance rates? Well, you can. The more valuable a machine is, the more you will pay for insurance. That’s because newer vehicles cost more to fix than older ones. This makes perfect sense, but some people still want to believe that it is more rewarding to own a new automobile. For one reason or another, they think used cars are only for people that cannot afford anything else. Actually, they are ideal for individuals that want more for their money. Think of all the extra things you can splurge on if you opt to purchase a machine that has just a few thousand miles on it. In most cases, used cars like these are still under the factory warranty as well. Therefore, you can take advantage of the same perk that the new model buyer gets, but you save thousands of dollars that they don’t.
Another reason for buying a pre-owned automobile is that you can trade it in sooner if you ever want to buy a model that runs on electricity or water vapor or some other unique substance. Hybrids and electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular as gas prices continue to rise. It is even starting to seem like they will become more affordable as the auto industry evolves over the coming years. If you buy a used car now, you can choose an eco-friendly model later on when manufacturers start to offer them for cheaper than ever before.
With these new considerations in mind, you are probably eager to find a local dealership that sells certified pre-owned automobiles. If you have the time while you are shopping and comparing prices, visit multiple lots in the area before you make a concrete decision on one certain make and model. The more options you give yourself, the better chance you will have of finding a vehicle that meets all of your needs. |
Driver assistance systems for highly automated driving are at present in the formative phase. Precautions with regard to functional safety concepts are often present in only very rudimentary fashion, and for the most part are still backed up by human intervention. Market introduction requires functional safety concepts that are entirely or partly fail-operational (critical faults are recognized; the minimum necessary functionality continues to be implemented safely even in the event of a fault). Present-day systems in the automotive environment are implemented predominantly in fail-safe fashion (critical faults are recognized; functionality is transferred into a safe state).
Systems for highly automated driving are technically complex. They require high computational performance and a large memory. Complete implementation of such large systems as fail-operational is possible today only with great difficulty. |
An inevitable conclusion given the applicable law. I’m glad about the result just because I think political activists are wa-a-a-ay too eager nowadays to punish thoughtcrimes with sanctions as draconian as taking away an offender’s gainful employment. Laura Ingraham was a jerk by goofing on David Hogg for his college rejections, Randa Jarrar was an exceptionally nasty jerk in turning cartwheels on Twitter over the death of Barbara Bush, but I’m reluctant to see anyone fired for something as vulgar, in every sense of the word, as spiteful jackassery.
I’m also under no illusions, though, that Jarrar’s reprieve will lead anyone on the left to rethink the Ingraham boycott or the reception conservative speakers like Ben Shapiro or Ann Coulter tend to get on college campuses. If you’re of the school that the only way to force that rethink is to give the left a hard dose of its own medicine — fire with fire, until the pain from the burn makes them recoil — then this is a setback for you, assuredly.
And there are many of that school.
Professor Jarrar’s conduct was insensitive, inappropriate and an embarrassment to the university. I know her comments have angered many in our community and impacted our students. Let me be clear, on campus and whenever we are representing the university, I expect all of us to engage in respectful dialogue. Immediately following Professor Jarrar’s tweets last Tuesday, we carefully reviewed the facts and consulted with CSU counsel to determine whether we could take disciplinary action. After completing this process, we have concluded that Professor Jarrar did not violate any CSU or university policies and that she was acting in a private capacity and speaking about a public matter on her personal Twitter account. Her comments, although disgraceful, are protected free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, although Professor Jarrar used tenure to defend her behavior, this private action is an issue of free speech and not related to her job or tenure. Therefore, the university does not have justification to support taking any disciplinary action. Professor Jarrar will remain on leave through the Spring semester, which she had previously requested before this incident. This matter has highlighted some important issues that deserve further consultation with our academic leadership.
The First Amendment spared the school from a potentially tough decision here. Because they’re a public university, they can point to Jarrar’s speech rights, shrug, and put this to bed before she becomes an academic cause celebre. If they were a private university, they’d have a hard decision to make about whether to go forward with this.
Presumably they would have fallen back on tenure in that case and said something solemn about how the institution exists for precisely this situation, to protect teachers who tell hard truths from pressure by the masses who may not want to hear them. But that’s not really true. Tenure ideally protects scholarship from popular pressure, not social-media trolling. If Jarrar were, say, conducting a statistical study of how many Iraqis were killed after the U.S. invasion and was taking flack from the government and the public because they didn’t want to face the ugly reality, that would be a paradigm case of the value of tenure. Spewing Twitter-puke about wanting to drink George W. Bush’s tears after his mother died doesn’t increase the sum of human knowledge in the same way, I dare say. Left-wing academics are usually quick to dissect how their enemies’ “principles” are little more than highfalutin conceptual cover for self-interest, whether in terms of “white privilege” or bourgeois entitlement or what have you. Their rhetorical wanking over the glories of tenure during this low-rent episode is an example of them cloaking their own self-interest in something nobler, though, insulating themselves from the consequences of petty political trash talk that virtually every other employee in America has to grapple with.
One other obvious question. Why didn’t Fresno State’s president address Jarrar’s pranking of a student crisis hotline at Arizona State in the aftermath of her Twitter episode? The school could have built a disciplinary case over that to appease critics with Jarrar left squirming in trying to mount a defense. What could she have said? “Mental health isn’t that important”?
In case your son or daughter is thinking of attending Fresno State, here’s a taste of the important scholarship and abiding respect for the free exchange of ideas to which they’ll be exposed by Randa Jarrar. |

Role of ToxS in the proteolytic cascade of virulence regulator ToxR in Vibrio cholerae.
Two of the primary virulence regulators of Vibrio cholerae, ToxR and TcpP, function together with cognate effector proteins. ToxR undergoes regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) during late stationary phase in response to nutrient limitation at alkaline pH; however, the specific function of its cognate ToxS remains unresolved. In this work, we found that ToxR rapidly becomes undetectable in a ΔtoxS mutant when cultures are exposed to either starvation conditions or after alkaline pH shock individually. A ΔtoxS mutant enters into a dormant state associated with the proteolysis of ToxR at a faster rate than wild-type, closely resembling a ΔtoxR mutant. Using a mutant with a periplasmic substitution in ToxS, we found that the proteases DegS and DegP function additively with VesC and a novel protease, TapA, to degrade ToxR in the mutant. Overall, the results shown here reveal a role for ToxS in the stabilization of ToxR by protecting the virulence regulator from premature proteolysis. |
The present disclosure relates to a low dropout regulator, LDO, circuit and to a method for controlling a voltage, in particular an output voltage, of an LDO circuit.
Here and hereafter, the terminology “LDO circuit” comprises all types of low dropout regulator circuits and also charger blocks that are implemented as low dropout regulator circuits.
LDO circuits are building blocks that are widely used for example in power management solutions. For example modern battery powered applications may require a power management which is optimized in view of quiescent current and in performance at the same time. Conventional LDO circuits may suffer from the fact that good transient load performance and low quiescent current of the LDO circuit are hard to achieve at the same time.
Existing LDO circuits may accept high quiescent current consumption. Other existing concepts may be difficult to stabilize and cause an additional current consumption, which may be a disadvantage in overall low quiescent devices. Furthermore, existing concepts may cause offset problems increasing quiescent current in some parameter ranges. |
The hypothalamocerebellar projection in the cat: branching and nuclear termination.
The hypothalamic projection to the cerebellar nuclei and cortex in the cat was studied by means of retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase complex and various fluorescent tracers. The hypothalamocerebellar nuclear projection originates from various parts of the posterior hypothalamus and reaches mainly the ipsilateral fastigial and interposed nuclei, but all nuclei receive some hypothalamocerebellar fibres. It appears from our double labelling experiments that at least one half of the hypothalamocerebellar nuclear neurones by means of axon collaterals also projects to the cerebellar cortex. Experiments with depositions of fluorescent tracers in both cerebellar hemispheres show that some hypothalamocerebellar fibres branch to reach different parts of the cerebellar cortex. Previous studies have shown that hypothalamocerebellar axons may be branches of hypothalamic efferents to other sites. However, experiments with combined fluorescent tracer depositions in the cerebellum and hippocampus gave no evidence for hypothalamic neurones with axon collaterals to both these regions. |

The business of a contact center is to provide rapid and efficient interaction between agents and customers, or prospective customers, using various interaction methods and media, including phone, fax, e-mail and messaging. A manager in a contact center typically uses force management software (FMS) to produce a schedule that includes agents assigned to work activities for specific time periods. During the workday, the FMS produces staffing statistics. The manager uses staffing statistics to adjust the number of agents assigned to particular activities when the contact center performance is either above or below contact center goals (e.g., a desired service level.) If performance exceeds the goals, the manager can reduce the number of agents. If performance does not meet goals, the manager can add more agents to the schedule.
Skills-based routing attempts to find the best available match between the needs of the customer and the various proficiencies or skills of available agents. Providing staffing statistics in a skills-based environment is difficult. One problem is providing an accurate count of agents. A multi-skill agent could be counted against more than one (skill) queue. A conventional FMS simply counts an agent with multiple skills against all queues, resulting in an miscount. Furthermore, a conventional FMS reports one combined count, rather than a count for each skill-related queue. |
Q:
Boolean does not stop a condition even if set as False
For this code :
for crop in database:
print("The current crop is :", crop)
x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = True
while x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones :
ASSESS_Tmin( crop, x, PRA)
print("x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = ", x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones)
ASSESS_Water( crop, PRA, x)
print("x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = ", x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones)
ASSESS_pH(crop, PRA, x)
I get the following results:
The current crop is : FBRflx
Checking minimum Temperatures...
x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = False
Checking the Water Resources...
Verifying if the Water Resources match with the Tmin supported by the crop...
x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = False
The soil pH of this PRA matches to the crop requirements.
This crop is edible for the current PRA !
I don't understand why the programm see that x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones is False and still runs the next functions instead of breaking the loop and switching to the next crop.
x is a class that contains all the variables I use and modify is several functions of my code. Could it be an error because the boolean comes from a class ?
A:
What you post look's like the expected behavior to me. The while loop is going reevaluate the condition only when it executes all code inside it...
If you want the while code to break in the middle, try putting breaks:
for crop in database:
print("The current crop is :", crop)
x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = True
while x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones :
ASSESS_Tmin( crop, x, PRA)
print("x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = ", x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones)
if not x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones:
break
ASSESS_Water( crop, PRA, x)
print("x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = ", x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones)
if not x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones:
break
ASSESS_pH(crop, PRA, x)
Note that it is going to be in a loop the time x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones == True. If you want to execute the code inside while just once, instead of in a loop, you can try:
for crop in database:
print("The current crop is :", crop)
x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = True
ASSESS_Tmin( crop, x, PRA)
print("x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones = ", x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones)
if not x.all_crop_parameters_match_the_PRA_ones:

The Administrative Core A consists of a highly qualified group of scientific and administrative experts assembled to maintain the focus and progress of the Program Project. This highly experienced core leadership facilitates synergistic exchange between all projects and cores. Dr. Raymond N. DuBois, serves as Principal Investigator and has the primary responsibility for all aspects of the Program. He is assisted by an exceptional group of Project Leaders and Core Directors, Scientific Advisory Board participants, administrative personnel and biostatistical staff. The Core A administrative personnel will manage annual budgets, monitor expenses, and provide timely statements of financial activities. Biostatistics, bioinformatics, computational biology, quantitative analyses and interpretation of data will be made accessible to all Program Project participants through the most appropriate experts in the Division of Quantitative Sciences at UTMDACC. This core will assume full responsibility for planning, scheduling and sponsoring all Program Project connected meetings. These meetings include quarterly steering committee meetings and videoconferences. Project and Core Leaders will routinely meet to evaluate productivity, allocate core resources and usage in addition to developing strategies and directions for future program efforts. Routine scientific videoconferences will enable investigators to share current findings, identify problems, and implement solutions. Scientific Advisory Board Meetings will be held in the first and fourth years of the Project. All review materials and evaluation procedures will be handled through Core A. Furthermore, Core A will organize and coordinate two scientific retreats per annum. Core A will prepare, collate and assemble data as well as materials necessary for annual progress reports. The oversight of any NIH and institutional reporting and compliance measures will be coordinated through Core A to fulfill all Program Project obligations in a timely fashion. |
