Q:
Opening JQuery Dialogs from JQuery Dialogs
I am currently working on a bit of JS, and have run into an interesting issue. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, as I don't see any reason it shouldn't work, but I'm not getting any results. I am running the following code:
$('#am_schedDetailModal').dialog('option', 'buttons', [{
text: 'Delete',
click: function () {
$('#am_confirmationDialog').html('Are you certain you wish to delete this entry?');
$('#am_confirmationDialog').dialog('option', 'buttons', [{
text: 'Yes',
click: function () {
deleteScheduledEntryAt(cellID);
$('#am_schedDetailModal').html('');
$('#am_schedDetailModal').dialog('close');
$('div', this).html('');
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}, {
text: 'No',
click: function () {
$('div', this).html('');
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}]);
$('#am_confirmationDialog').dialog('open');
}
}]);
The problem is that when I run this code, the second dialog doesn't appear. The first dialog appears, and the other buttons work fine, but the 'Delete' button has no effect at all. There is no error (according to FireBug), but nothing shows up. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Thanks to Kevin van Hoorn, it appears that this was a pretty simple mistake- I created the second dialog in the code, but forgot to actually initialize it.
A:
You have to append that div to something before trying to use it.
Like
document.append('<div id="am_confirmationDialog" />');

Six areas of theoretical population genetic research are to be developed. Studies of linkage and fertility selection, including the properties of genetic modifiers of recombination will be continued. Models of mixed inbreeding and outcrossing, appropriate to plant population genetics, will be constructed. The interaction of the mating system with epistatic selection and population subdivision will be elucidated for one and two gene systems. Exact analysis of the question of optimal mutation rates is our third area of research. The fourth concerns whether the even sex ratio, previously shown to be genetically optimal when sex is controlled by a single gene, is optimal with more complex sex determination. Our studies of cultural transmission and evolution will include both evolutionary modelling and data analysis of traits of mixed genetic and cultural etiology. Finally we continue our exact genetic modelling of kin selection with two linked loci and in subdivided populations. |

Statistics of the slope-method estimator.
The slope method has customarily been used and is still used for inversion of atmospheric optical parameters, extinction, and backscatter in homogeneous atmospheres from lidar returns. Our aim is to study the underlying statistics of the old slope method and ultimately to compare its inversion performance with that of the present-day nonlinear least-squares solution (the so-called exponential-curve fitting). The contents are twofold: First, an analytical study is conducted to characterize the bias and the mean-square-estimation error of the regression operator, which permits estimation of the optical parameters from the logarithm of the range-compensated lidar return. Second, universal plots for most short- and far-range tropospheric backscatter lidars are presented as a rule of thumb for obtaining the optimum regression interval length that yields unbiased estimates. As a result, the simple graphic basis of the slope method is still maintained, and its inversion performance improves up to that of the present-day computer-oriented exponential-curve fitting, which ends the controversy between these two algorithms. |

But at Dismas House, board members from the same family have been paid three or four times more than that.
Bureau of Prisons officials refused to comment on the pay of Dismas House board members and executives. The Post-Dispatch filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the contract between the bureau and Dismas House, but the government indicated the request could take up to a year to process.
Howard said he couldn’t find a copy of the contract to share with a reporter.
He said the salaries that show up on the tax records are a surprise to him. Howard is on the board of Forward Assist, and the tax records say the board members viewed and approved the 990s before they were filed. Howard said he never saw them.
“I don’t think they were paid that much,” Howard said in an interview. “If that’s the case, I need a raise.”
He later viewed the IRS 990s himself and verified to the Post-Dispatch that its interpretation of the Dismas House salaries was accurate. |
Outpatient Treatment of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections in the Emergency Department.
One of the most commonly treated infections in the emergency department (ED) is an uncomplicated urinary tract infection. Multiple classes of antibiotics are frequently used to treat this condition, but not all have equivalent efficacy, and many may confer risks to not only the patient but society as a whole if used on a large scale. These antibiotic selections should also be guided by local antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and general multidisciplinary recommendations for therapy should be developed on a local scale to assist prescribing patterns. The proactive development of a routine approach to reviewing and addressing positive cultures following discharge from the ED should also be developed and implemented in order to ensure that optimal patient care is provided. The objective of this review is to assess the available literature to isolate which antibiotics and approaches to care are the most appropriate options for treating uncomplicated outpatient urinary tract infections in the ED. |

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of breast lesions.
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a safe, cost-effective, and accurate technique, which has no contraindications and causes little discomfort. There is no breast lesion for which fine-needle biopsy is not appropriate. Results are available quickly to the patient and physician and aid in decision making about the necessity for excisional biopsy, mastectomy, or radiation therapy. False-negative rates may be decreased by adherence to proper technique and strict cytologic interpretation. A negative cytology report in the face of a clinically suspicious lesion mandates excisional biopsy. Fine-needle biopsy is valuable for diagnosis of breast cancer and can be easily learned and used by the clinician. Combining it with clinical examination and mammography increases the accuracy of diagnosis. |

CISPA: Lawmakers Plan to Reintroduce Anti-Privacy Bill
Many Republicans and Democrats are avowed enemies of the US Constitution, and of basic rights and liberties. From The Hill:
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House
Intelligence Committee, said he plans to re-introduce the Cyber
Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) with Intelligence
Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) this year . . .
CISPA aimed to thwart cyberattacks by making it easier for private
companies to share information about cyberthreats and malicious source
code with the intelligence community and the Department of Homeland
Security. The bill enjoyed support from a broad swath of companies,
including Facebook and AT&T, because they said legal hurdles slowed
down information sharing about cyber threats between industry and
government.
Civil liberties groups and privacy advocates
launched online protests against the bill because they argued that it
lacked sufficient privacy protections and would increase the pool of
people's electronic communications flowing to the intelligence community
and the secretive National Security Agency (NSA). |
[The respiratory reactions to thyroliberin action on the ventral surface of the medulla oblongata].
Applications of the TRH to the brain stem ventral surface of anesthetized rats increased the lung ventilation and essential changes in the breathing pattern. At the same time, electrical activity of inspiratory neurons was enhanced and that of expiratory neurons reduced (the ambiguous nucleus area). The data obtained suggest a major role of ventrolateral medulla in realization of the TRH respiratory effects. |
In this presentation I discuss the ways in which restaurateurs in Yucatán and Seville are deploying the notion of innovation. The first one, has been promoted as a synecdoche for all Mexican Food, disregarding the Caribbean rather than Mexican influences in Yucatecan food. The second, an invention by US nutritionists, has been from its inception a translocal construct involving Seville among other Mediterranean cities. In this talk I describe the strategies of innovation and retro-innovation deployed by chefs and restaurant owners seeking to attract and maintain their clientele. |

This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for analyzing images of rock samples to determine petrophysical properties.
In hydrocarbon production, obtaining accurate subsurface estimates of petrophysical properties of the rock formations is important for the assessment of hydrocarbon volumes contained in the rock formations and for formulating a strategy for extracting the hydrocarbons from the rock formation. Traditionally, samples of the rock formation, such as from core samples or drilling cuttings, are subjected to physical laboratory tests to measure petrophysical properties such as permeability, porosity, formation factor, elastic moduli, and the like. As known in the art, some of these measurements require long time periods, extending over several months in some cases, depending on the nature of the rock itself. The equipment used to make these measurements can also be quite costly.
Often, petrophysical rock properties are measured in the laboratory at ambient environmental conditions, with the rock sample at room temperature and surface atmospheric pressure. However, the sub-surface environment of the rock in the formation can differ significantly from that of ambient laboratory conditions. For example, the weight of overburden sedimentation on formation rock, which increases with increasing burial depth, causes compaction of the formation rock, which is reflected in reduced porosity and permeability as compared with surface ambient conditions.
Subsurface rock formations are also subjected to changes in in situ stress/strain conditions as a result of hydrocarbon development and production. For instance, the stress conditions at a point in a rock formation adjacent to a drilled borehole will differ from the original in situ stress conditions at that same point prior to drilling. In addition, the injection and extraction of pore fluids, as occurs in field production, sets up changes in pore fluid pressure from that prior to production, which also causes changes in in situ stress conditions. Different stress or strain conditions from these and other causes can significantly alter the petrophysical properties of rock relative to the same rock under ambient conditions. Of course, it is the subsurface petrophysical properties of the rock under its in situ stress conditions that are of most interest for purposes of appraisal, development, and production of the field.
To compensate for the effect of changes in in situ stress, conventional laboratory measurements of porosity, permeability, electrical conductivity, and other petrophysical properties can be physically measured in the laboratory under a variety of stress and strain conditions. It has been observed, however, that the equipment and technician time required to artificially apply these physical conditions in the laboratory can be prohibitively expensive, as compared with tests performed under room ambient conditions, and can also require significantly more time to carry out, especially for complicated rock types. Moreover, the range of laboratory-applied stress and strain conditions for the measurement of a particular petrophysical property is often quite limited, and may not accurately represent the in situ subsurface conditions.
Even if equipment for measuring rock properties under confining stresses and pressures is available, the estimation of petrophysical properties of a given rock sample under several different stress/strain conditions is often not possible, because the microstructure of the rock sample may be permanently deformed by one or more of the loading and unloading stress/strain cycles. This deformation may occur, for instance, when measuring petrophysical properties of a given rock sample initially under hydrostatic stress conditions (i.e., where the sample is subjected to uniform confining pressure) and then measuring the petrophysical properties of the same rock under uniaxial stress conditions (i.e., where stress is applied in only a single direction, with no applied stress in all other directions). In that case, subsequent iterations of the measurement experiment on the same sample can result in a different petrophysical property value or other change in physical behavior that is not representative of the true stress/strain response of the rock. The measured petrophysical properties in the second and subsequent stress experiments may thus differ significantly from the true in situ values sought for those stress experiments.
Because of the cost and time required to directly measure petrophysical properties, the technique of “direct numerical simulation” has been developed for efficiently estimating physical properties, such as porosity, absolute permeability, relative permeability, formation factor, elastic moduli, and the like of rock samples, including samples from difficult rock types such as tight gas sands or carbonates. According to this approach, a three-dimensional tomographic image of the rock sample is obtained, for example by way of a computer tomographic (CT) scan. Voxels in the three-dimensional image volume are “segmented” (e.g., by “thresholding” their brightness values or by another approach) to distinguish rock matrix from void space. Numerical simulation of fluid flow or other physical behavior such as elasticity or electrical conductivity is then performed, from which porosity, permeability (absolute and/or relative), elastic properties, electrical properties, and the like can be derived. A variety of numerical methods may be applied to solve or approximate the physical equations simulating the appropriate behavior. These methods include the Lattice-Boltzmann, finite element, finite difference, finite volume numerical methods and the like.
However, conventional direct numerical simulation is generally limited to rock samples under ambient stress/strain conditions, in that images obtained by X-ray tomographic images or other imaging techniques (e.g., FIBSEM) are generally acquired under ambient conditions. This is because the mechanical equipment required to induce stress/strain conditions are not routinely attached to imaging equipment, or cannot feasibly be so attached, due to the nature of either or both of the imaging and mechanical devices. In those cases in which imaging and mechanical testing have been combined, such as by using special sample holders that are transparent to X-ray tomography, such combined experimental apparatus is highly specialized and extremely expensive, and may involve health and safety risks. |
Diagnostic systems are used by technicians and professionals in virtually all industries to perform basic and advanced system testing functions. For example, in the automotive, trucking, heavy equipment and aircraft industries, diagnostic test systems provide for vehicle onboard computer fault or trouble code display, interactive diagnostics, multiscope and multimeter functions, and electronic service manuals. In the medical industry, diagnostic systems provide for monitoring body functions and diagnosis of medical conditions, as well as system diagnostics to detect anomalies in the medical equipment.
In many industries, diagnostic systems play an increasingly important role in manufacturing processes, as well as in maintenance and repair throughout the lifetime of the equipment or product. Some diagnostic systems are based on personal computer technology and feature user-friendly, menu-driven diagnostic applications. These systems assist technicians and professionals at all levels in performing system diagnostics on a real-time basis.
With the advent of the microprocessor, virtually all modern vehicles have come to utilize onboard computers to control and monitor engine and electrical system functions. Such vehicle onboard computers typically interface with a multiplicity of sensors and transducers, which continuously detect vehicle and engine operational parameters and provide representative electrical signals to the onboard computer. The data collected and processed by the onboard computer can be useful in the diagnosis of vehicle engine and electrical system malfunctions. Thus, the vehicle onboard computer typically includes a communication port connector that allows certain of the collected data to be transmitted to an independent computer analyzer, which may process the data, store the data, or present the data in a visual format that can be interpreted by vehicle maintenance and repair technicians.
In conjunction with these technological developments, a variety of specialized computer analyzers, or vehicle diagnostic tools, have been developed and marketed to provide vehicle maintenance and repair technicians access to the data available from the vehicle onboard computers. The current technology includes a variety of hand-held vehicle diagnostic tools, frequently referred to as scan tools, with considerable processing capabilities, typically incorporating an integral display and capable of displaying the onboard computer data in a variety of graphical formats that allow vehicle technicians to view and interpret the data.
A typical diagnostic system includes a display on which instructions for diagnostic procedures are displayed. The system also includes a system interface that allows the operator to view real-time operational feedback and diagnostic information. Thus, the operator may view, for example, vehicle engine speed in revolutions per minute, or battery voltage during start cranking; or, with regard to the medical field, a patient's heartbeat rate or blood pressure. With such a system, a relatively inexperienced operator may perform advanced diagnostic procedures and diagnose complex operational or medical problems.
However, if an operator or technician is unable to detect an operational problem and the onboard computer has not detected a fault condition, a potential failure condition may in some cases go unnoticed. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a method and apparatus that can be executed on diagnostic systems to collect historical operational data corresponding to normal and failure conditions, analyze the data and compare the results of the data analysis to test data gathered from a specific test subject in order to diagnose potential failure conditions that otherwise might be overlooked. |

Nowadays the usage of wireless sensor networks, with either static or mobile nodes, has been an area of growing interest. From the simplest applications of monitoring, i.e. environmental parameters, to the most complex search and rescue applications, the localization of the various nodes of the network is fundamental. In the situation at which the network has mobility there is additionally a need of the ability to efficiently navigate.
Due to the fact that in many of the applications, i.e. search and rescue situations where the time of action is critical, is impossible to perform a previous planning and building of a framework, anchor free relative localization methods become indispensable.
In this dissertation several relative localization and navigation techniques, based only on the RF signal of the wireless communications, are studied. On the subject of localization, different parameters related with the communications were tested. These are significant because of the necessity of studying the impact of such factors in calculating the network topology. On the subject of navigation the resulting work was experimentally evaluated, with emphasis on the comparative evaluation of the several methods presented in this dissertation, namely a simple oblivious method based on random directions and another one based on MLE - Maximum Likelihood Estimator. The results show the superiority of MLE concerning the speed of getting to the target at the cost of extra computations. In particular, in the scope of this dissertation we have made a small autonomous robot move between to RF beacons, using RSS information, only. |

Interstitial radiation for treatment of primary brain tumors using the Brown-Roberts-Wells stereotaxic system.
While techniques and practice of stereotaxic surgery have been available for decades, recent technical and theoretical advances have allowed for a rebirth of this neurosurgical subspecialty. One of the newer applications of this technique is the stereotaxic treatment of malignant brain tumors. This method depends on the CT-guided placement of a tiny coaxial catheter system precisely on target within the tumor area. Radioactive sources in the catheter deliver a precise amount of radiation over a specific time course. The system is then removed. Follow-up of the patients who undergo this procedure continues throughout their lives. |
Q:
How to reload datagrid in wpf
I have a WPF application where I want to select item from datagrid and pass to textbox. after that on add button selected gridrow must be remove. I have a stored procedure to remove from table. And at same time reload the table in same datagrid.
I tried this code
private void refresh()
{
datagrid1.items.refresh();
}
private void btnAdd_Click(object Sender, RoutedEventArg e)
{
refresh();
}
private void datagrid1_SelectionChange(object Sender, RoutedEventArg e)
{
var selectedrow = datagrid1.selectedItem as datarowview;
var id = selectedrow["Tagid"]; // Here I get error that object reference is not set is an instance of an object
string s = conver.tostring(id);
txttextbox1.text= s;
}
After click add button, I get the error
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
A:
You are forcing your selected item as datarowView which it is not, cast to correct type
var selectedrow = datagrid1.selectedItem as DataRowView
SelectedItem is type of object that is bound to grid not row
Try doing this
private void datagrid1_SelectionChange(object Sender, RoutedEventArg e)
{
var selectedItem = datagrid1.selectedItem as MY_Custom_Object;
var id = selectedItem.Tagid;
string s = Convert.ToString(id);
txttextbox1.text= s;

Monoclonal antibody therapy in rheumatoid arthritis.
Monoclonal antibodies bind to their targets with high specificity and therefore have excellent potential as therapeutic agents. Biotechnological advances have allowed the production of large quantities of engineered monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use. Recent research in rheumatoid arthritis has identified important mediators of synovitis. Monoclonal antibodies targeting these have been tested in clinical trials over the last decade. Anti-cytokine therapies, in particular anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha monoclonal antibodies, suppressed inflammation and produced rapid symptomatic improvement. Anti-lymphocyte monoclonal antibodies produced long-lasting disease suppression in animal models of rheumatoid arthritis. The use of depleting anti-lymphocyte monoclonal antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis had been disappointing as they did not penetrate the synovial joint in sufficient quantity to suppress disease without producing severe and protracted peripheral blood lymphopenia. Consequently, their use in rheumatoid arthritis had been abandoned. In contrast, clinical trials of non-depleting anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis showed that they could suppress synovitis. However, it remains unclear whether they could lead to prolonged disease improvement. |
Q:
Is there a better way of serializing objects in C#?
One of my colleagues challenged me to put this code up here to see if anyone can think of a better way of doing this.
It's two methods to serialize and load objects from disc. The load uses a generic parameter to specify the type of object that is being loaded.
public static class IO
{
public static void SaveObject(string path, object obj)
{
using (Stream stream = File.Open(path, FileMode.Create))
{
IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
formatter.Serialize(stream, obj);
}
}
public static T LoadObject<T>(string path)
{
using (Stream stream = File.Open(path, FileMode.Open))
{
IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
T obj = (T)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
return obj;
}
}
}
A:
Well serialization is an aspect to the classes which is usually treated orthogonal - meaning the classes should know almost nothing about it. "Almost" because you have cases where objects should not be serialized (like proxies) or have members which should not be serialized.
For this the serialization attributes where invented - there is even an IsSerializable property on the Type class. In that way your approach is already very good in the sense that objects don't have to do anything to be serialized except using the attributes. The bad thing is that you only catch errors at runtime and not compile time. You could put some safeguards in place like an ISerializable marker interface and add a type restriction to your IO class but that might not be possible (3rd party libs) or a lot of effort (changing all classes around). You could even go that far to offload the serialization to the objects so they know exactly how to de/serialize but I doubt it's worth the effort whereas you should be able to catch most runtime problems with unit tests.
The only real problem I can see is that you might deserialize an object of type B where as you are actually trying to deserialize type A. Now I would say there is no difference to your serializer throwing an invalid cast exception or knowing that you are deserializing the wrong type before you have finished - in both cases you have a problem and your application can't do what it's supposed to.
You can get around version problems with the BinaryFormatter with a custom serialization binder or you might want to consider a xml serializer.

Erditse
Erditse is a god of the ancient Aquitaine Gaul, known by only one inscription which was discovered, in the 16th century, by Joseph Justus Scaliger on a votive altar found in the Parliament of Toulouse. The inscription was published in Inscriptiones totius orbis Romani antiquae by Jan Gruter.
The votive altar has now disappeared. It was likely to come from the Pyrenees as many other votive altars found in the region of Comminges and dated from the 1st to the 4th century.
The inscription was correctly deciphered for the first time by Eugène Camoreyt:
Erditse d[eo?] / consacran(i) / Borodates / v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito).
It suggests the existence of an association of people worshipping together this deity.

While most of us have seen the movie “Dawn of Justice” and loved or hated it, it is nevertheless a great reminder of the awesomeness of two amazing superheroes: Batman and Superman. And as a special treat: the Amazonian Princess, Wonder Woman and The Flash.
These amazing characters have been with us since the early days of our childhood, taking us to their super-universe on and on again throughout adulthood.
Regardless of their story’s movie adaptation (or any kind of adaptation), we will always have them in our hearts and always criticize someone else’s interpretation of someone who we fell that we know so well.
The movie has served as a reminder to me of these incredible superheroes and here is my undying love and admiration for them – in the cutest way possible.

Deciphering the extra-telomeric function of Rap1, a metabolic regulator counteracting obesity Agnel Sfeir Project Summary: The telomere-binding protein Rap1 is part of the protective protein complex that binds mammalian telomeres. It was recently found to have additional non-telomeric functions, acting as a transcriptional cofactor for different biological processes. To explore its function more thoroughly, we disrupted mouse Rap1 in vivo and reported its unanticipated role in metabolic regulation and body-weight homeostasis. Rap1 inhibition resulted in dysregulation of hepatic and adipose function, leading to glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, liver steatosis, and excess fat accumulation, resulting in eventual late-onset obesity. At the cellular level, Rap1 appears to play a pivotal role in the transcriptional cascade that controls adipocyte differentiation. Using a separation-of-function allele, we found that the metabolic function of Rap1 is independent of its recruitment to TTAGGG binding elements found at telomeres, we identify a number of possible interactors that might aid Rap1 in its metabolic function. In conclusion, our recent study, together with ongoing experiments, underscores an intriguing function for the most conserved telomere-binding protein, forging an interesting link between telomere biology and metabolic signaling. In this project, we will decipher the underlying mechanism by which Rap1 controls metabolism. Specifically, we will explore the in vivo function and mechanism of Rap1 using a set of molecular and genetic tools. We hypothesize that Rap1 regulates adipose tissue function, mainly by impinging on the transcriptional cascade that controls the remodeling of white-to-beige fat. The impact of Rap1 on metabolic gene expression is most consistent with its propensity to behave as an adaptor protein, acting within the context of a larger transcriptional complex that we plan to characterize. The extra-telomeric function of a bone fide telomere binding protein raises the intriguing possibility of telomeres behaving as a storage site for this transcriptional regulator, thereby regulating Rap1 nucleoplasmic pools available to participate in metabolism. All in all, our study is expected to provide insight into Rap1 function in metabolic control, which is pivotal for understanding dysregulation that arises when this process is mismanaged, for example in age-dependent metabolic disorders. Furthermore, our study might help identify potential therapeutic strategies for regulating excess fat accumulation and protecting against metabolic derangements. |

[Endometrial hyperplastic changes and precancerous conditions: terminology and classification].
The paper presents the data available in the literature on the debated aspects of the terminology and classification of endometrial hyperplastic lesions, precancerous conditions of the corpus uteri. Particular emphasis is laid on the low reproducibility of the histological diagnosis of endometrial changes in accordance with the WHO criteria. Focus is on the disadvantages of a morphometric study for diagnosing endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia. The authors show it expedient to simplify the WHO classification and to adopt the uniform criteria for and terms of endometrial hyperplastic changes and precancerous conditions. |

Q:
Parsing the javascript reduce documentation
In Mozilla's Reduce docs page I found the syntax below:
arr.reduce(callback[, initialValue])
The square brackets throw me off.
I have code like this that works:
const selectedItems = selectedItemsList.reduce((itemObject, item) => {
return {
...itemObject,
[item]: this.props.areasList.find(area => area.id === item)
};
}, {});
I do not use square brackets. I provide a callback and an initial value, separated by a comma. Can anyone elaborate on why the doc shows the syntax that it does for reduce? I only figured out the code in this post that I have by looking at other examples.
A:
The square brackets mean that the initialValue parameter is optional, i.e. you don't have to provide it. You shouldn't actually place these brackets in your code.

This invention relates to an illuminated apparatus for warming pre-moistened towellettes while in their pre-packaged dispenser.
Recently the marketplace has provided us with a convenient sterile way to clean the human anatomy by means of disposable pre-moistened towellettes. These towellettes have become primarily used for baby cleaning during a diaper change. However, the towellette moistening solution may produce a disquieting effect when the towellette is placed in contact with the baby's skin. This can be eliminated by raising the temperature of the towellettes above room temperature. This invention provides a convenient, inexpensive means to warm the towellettes while maintaining the sterile integrity of the pre-packaged dispenser. Its illumination can also serve as a night light in the baby's room. Unlike the prior art, the invention accommodates both currently marketed cylindrical and rectangular shaped pre-packaged towellette dispensers warms the pre-moistened towellettes while in their pre-packaged dispenser and the sterile integrity of the towellettes is undisturbed by its use. |
Q:
Is Haskell mature enough for web applications?
Seems that there are not much work done on Haskell for web. People uses it
as a learning tool for functional
programming more than business. Has
anyone developed and deployed web
application on Haskell, yet? Please,
share the links.
The next session comments might change my mind
and plan something else which could
be also useful in terms of business.
Guidance, Guidance,
Please!
I'm planning to learn a functional programming language and I picked Haskell.
Is Haskell "cooked" enough to develop a commercial web application? Or should I start looking for other options, maybe even something other than a functional programming language, if it is worthy?
Investment in learning a language is very expensive and I want to make sure Haskell is really worth it to learn.
Guidance, Please.
A:
Ramiz,
Your title mentions "commerical web applications," while your question doesn't, so I'm assuming that the end goal is to write a web application using a functional programming language.
If this is the case, I recommend that you start with yaws, a fast HTTP server written in the functional concurrent programming language Erlang. You'll learn the ups and downs of twisting PHP-like scripts into a functional mindset, much of which you can then translate into your work with Haskell.
If you'd really like to stick with Haskell, and the choice of language is more important to you than the general functional approach, then take a look at the Real World Haskell book. That will give you a sense of how the language solves common problems that you might be interested in tackling while you learn the language.
A:
As you learn new languages, the investment required decreases. Even if you start with Haskell, the functional knowledge you gain will help you learn other languages.
It also depends what language you come from. If you come from Java I'd suggest scala, if you come from .net I'd suggest f#
A:
I for one consider Haskell to be my secret weapon - that tool that gives me a little edge over other developers, and frequently find places to used it in my consulting jobs.
DSLs, for example, are pretty hot these days in custom software. Haskell is a ridiculously good fit for this type of work.
If that isn't the kind of "commercial" environment you have in mind, some kind of polyglot project is probably best (I think good UI is one of Haskell's weaknesses). I have a project going right now that has Haskell running as a fast cgi "service" in the back end (I tend not to like 'frameworks' too much, and really don't like the ones available for Haskell right now), served up by a Flex (Adobe Flash Platform) front end. The eventual intent for this project will be to be sold commercially* to smaller-to-medium sized businesses as a financial planning aid.
Last thing I'll say is that, while I personally love Haskell, I think its FP in general that provides the biggest direct benefit. To this end, if you find yourself eyeing another FP language such as F#, Scala or Erlang, and think it'll be a better fit then I say run with it.
*Actually, the project will be used internally for at least a year before marketting to outside parties begins.

Q:
no controller ngModel on directive though it works fine
I have a directive which has both ngChange & ngModel, which works with input tag. its working as expected but i do get error in console:
Error: No controller: ngModel
i have two directives, the outerdirective is like below
return {
restrict: 'E',
transclude: true,
replace:true,
template:getTemplate,
require: ['^form']
}
and the inner directive summary is:
return {
scope:{csModel:'@ngModel',csChange:'&ngChange'},
restrict:'E',
link:linkFunction
}
I am not able to understand the reason for the error: here is the plunker plunker link for the same.
A:
the problem is with your directive definition..
element.replaceWith($compile(template)(scope));
replace this line of code with:
element.html(template);

Q:
Passing a complex objects array from client to server WITHOUT ajax
I have a form that I would like the users to submit to the server.
The (simplified) model looks like that:
public class MyData
{
public int MyInt { get; set; }
public ICollection<ComplexObject> MyArray { get; set; }
}
public class ComplexObject
{
public int MyComplexObjectInt { get; set; }
public string MyComplexObjectString { get; set; }
}
The controller action that receives this object looks like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(MyData model)
{
...
}
I have a "ComplexObject" array in the client side (jQuery) that I populate with user's input.
The problem: How can I set the "MyArray" value to contain the jQuery array values and retrieve this array in the controller?
Note: I've googled this issue quite a bit and all the solutions I've found talked about ajax. I'm not interesting in these solutions and I wonder if it can be done without ajax.
Thanks.
A:
If something can be done with AJAX it can be done using a standard POST or GET request just as well. If your endpoint is process.aspx you just need to use <form action="process.aspx"> instead of $.ajax('process.aspx').
So if you need to get some data from your backend, combine it with user-provided data then process it on the server with a full round-trip (not AJAX) you can use a form and hidden inputs:
<form action="process.aspx" method="POST" id="myForm">
<input type="hidden" name="MyInt" value="<%= MyInt %>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ComplexObject" value="" />
</form>
Then when you need to send the ComplexObject along with MyInt, you can serialize that object as JSON string, put it into the hidden field and submit the form:
$('[name="ComplexObject"]').val( JSON.stringify( userObject ) );
$('#myform').submit();

A tale of two presidents: The one we voted for – and Obama
This is a tale of two presidents – the one we hope we have and the one we actually have. It is also a tale of two kinds of violence – the surgical and the indiscriminate – and how the latter blurs the distinction between self-defense and something far more sinister.
This story began last year, when the White House told the New York Times that President Obama was personally overseeing a “kill list” and an ongoing drone bombing campaign against alleged terrorists, including American citizens. Back then, much of the public language was carefully crafted to reassure us that our country’s military power was not being abused.
In the Times’ report – which was carefully sculpted by Obama administration leaks – the paper characterized the bombing program as “targeted killing” with “precision weapons.” It additionally described “the care that Mr. Obama and his counterterrorism chief take in choosing targets” and claimed that as “a student of writings on war by Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, the president believes that he should take moral responsibility” for making sure such strikes are as precise as possible.
The unstated deal being offered to America was simple: Accept a president claiming unprecedented despotic authority in exchange for that president promising to comport himself as an enlightened despot – one who seeks to limit the scope of America’s ongoing violence.
Many of the president’s partisan supporters would never have agreed to such a bargain if the executive in question were a Republican. They would have expressed outrage at news that, according to the Times, the president was “count(ing) all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants” even when those males happen to be innocent civilians. But because it was a Democratic commander in chief, many liberals tacitly agreed to the deal, reassuring themselves that this was a president who would only use violence in the most narrow ways.
That, though, brings us to the second part of this parable – the part that unfolded earlier this month when blood-soaked reality crashed the myth. In this latter chapter, we learned that the president isn’t personally overseeing “targeted” killing – he is evidently overseeing indiscriminate killing.
That was the key discovery in NBC News correspondent Richard Engel’s report finding that “the CIA did not always know who it was targeting and killing in drone strikes” approved by the president. Employing so-called “signature strikes,” the president has been authorizing the assassination of people “based on their patterns of behavior” according to Engel – that is, based simply on where a person “meets individuals, makes phone calls and sends emails.” In all, the identities of up to a quarter of those assassinated were unknown at the time that the president’s drone strikes went forward.
The deep-thinking moralist that we were told was in the White House might look at this and worry that in fighting terrorism we have resorted to engaging in terrorism. After all, deliberately killing people without regard for their identity seems like an effort to terrorize a whole population. Indeed, as this week’s stunning new video series by documentarian Robert Greenwald illustrates, such violence seems eerily similar to the kind of terrorism that our government publicly decries.
But, then, that’s this saga’s big reveal. In embracing such tactics, this parable’s main character shows that he probably isn’t the pious Aquinas-loving saint his aides present him as and that many hoped he would be. This story instead increasingly looks like a cautionary tale about a wholly unenlightened authoritarian who displays little concern about which particular lives he is choosing to end.
This, of course, is not a particularly new or unique story. It is, in fact, the oldest story in human history: the story of how power corrupts and how absolute power corrupts absolutely.
An example of what? Who said they were outside of war zones? Eric Holder didn't say it in his statement.
Well I guess if what you say is correct, and everywhere is a war zone, we can take out anyone, anywhere, as long as we think they are a threat, even an American without due process. So you folks who live in that building or even village, better hope there's not a suspect in your midst or you're done for. It seems to me this technique will by far grow more terrorists/sympathizers than it will eliminate...
We've set a new standard? No. I can't even imagine what new standard it is that you think we've set.
Do you think Pakistan would be smart to do that?
I think the only standard set was one of our own--if you are harboring threats to the US and won't put an end to it (or helps us do so), we are going to do it ourselves.
If the tables were turned and the US was harboring another country's Osama-like bad guy, and the US did nothing, I suppose I couldn't blame the other country for taking action on its own. I find this unlikely to happen.

Yes; very unlikely...but I'm seeing it from an angle like this; just because I'm the biggest kid in class, do I think it's right to go around and punch other kids in the face...trying to punch me back would be stupid, so you'd better not.
I'm not arguing with you or Patteau on this...I just don't get the logic...not sure how well thought out this is long term.

What technique is that? Firing weapons at the bad guys? Innocent people are always going to get caught up in it. It should be minimized as much as possible. How many innocent people were killed when we dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
I wonder how many of the people droning on about drones have never thought twice about A-bombs on Japan.
Covert operations are not a new thing. I'm not sure I understand your concern.
Of course you're not concerned, as long as there was some blood and death you would probably cheer a drone striking you.

Your reasons were collateral damage and too covert.
The first one isn't unique to drones.
The second is just silly considering we're talking about war with terrorists. I guess you're against the military's stealth aircraft as well.
Nope, I just tire of having the same arguments with you. When pressed you refuse to believe that anything done under the banner of the Democratic party is wrong. You revert to party shill. It's not worth discussing with you.

Party shill--Much of the party disagrees with me on this.
I'm arguing on the same side as Patteau--you think I like that?
I think it is "wrong" to kill innocent people. Doesn't matter if by drone, rocket, or machine gun fire. It should be minimized as much as reasonably possible.
I didn't agree with much of anything W Bush did regarding the 'war on terror' but the one thing that made sense was when he finally started using drones.

I'm asking questions about "end game"...what's really in our best interest. In WWII those techniques made nations succumb...there weren't splinter nations that propped up and started a new war all over again...but this is a totally different animal...and the newly bred terrorists whose family we blew to pieces don't need an army to do what they want and like I said, my concern is that we're creating more than we eliminating..."end game".

I think that is a legit concern. This thread started off about drones, and my take was that drones aren't the issue. A drone-type attack could happen with other types of weaponry. You seem to be saying we shouldn't be going after these folks in foreign countries at all.
I don't know what the "best' way to go about it is, but I don't think letting them set up a base to plot and relying on playing good defense is a great move. I also don't think invading and re-building an entire country is a great idea (Iraq). Isolated strikes against specific targets seems the way to go. Not perfect, but I'm open to other approaches.
I'm no war hawk, unlike Patteau the avowed and proud neo-con , I just don't know of a better way right now.
Well I guess if what you say is correct, and everywhere is a war zone, we can take out anyone, anywhere, as long as we think they are a threat, even an American without due process. So you folks who live in that building or even village, better hope there's not a suspect in your midst or you're done for.
Try to think this through. Don't make me spoon feed every last detail to you.
Congress is empowered to declare war by the Constitution. The President is empowered by the Constitution to command our military during time of war. Congress declared war on al Qaeda, it's associates, and it's benefactors in it's Authorization to Use Military Force. That doesn't mean the President can start raining drone strikes down on tea party members or the AP (although to be honest, the AP hasn't always behaved admirably in it's coverage of the GWoT).
Do you really think the President can get away with ordering a strike against an apartment building in Des Moines just because some junior jihadist lives in Apt. 2A based on his Constitutional war fighting perogatives? There's a huge difference between striking a suspect in a village in the midst of a hostile country with no local government control (or an unfriendly government) and striking a suspect who lives next door to the police station in Peoria, IL.
If you're an American who has decided to join the Jihad and hole up with al Qaeda members in the tribal regions of Pakistan or the lawless regions of Somolia though, you shouldn't count on your day in court.

Maybe. I think there might be a cross-over point somewhere. The most important strikes, e.g. taking out al Qaeda cadre members or jihadists who are preparing an imminent attack, probably do more good than harm. Rampant, indiscriminant use of drone strikes where collateral damage is substantial and the target is of minimal importance might do more harm than good. And as I acknowledged, there's a PR factor involved beyond the reality of what's going on too. I don't see any reason to believe that we're currently doing more harm than good though. A lot of the complaints we're hearing about drone strikes are coming from people who would be complaining about any kind of military action we take.

Like I said, not my topic, but other countries are using drones like we are? We didn't set the standard on this type of terror warfare?
Other countries are, yes.
I guess you can say we set the standard in the sense that we got there early in the game (I don't know if we're the first to use them or not), but we didn't break any embargo on their use or anything like that. If we hadn't learned how to do it first, someone else would have. If we're doing things right, we should strive to set as many of this kind of standard in military hardware as we can. Our national defense is based on the fact that we have a technology edge over our potential adversaries.

What is the difference between drone strikes and the British infantry square of the Napoleanic era in this respect?
Are you going to be upset if another country uses drone strikes on us, but you'll be perfectly fine if they march some infantry over, square up, and start shooting? Of course not. None of it is OK for the other side to do to us.
But when the other side *is* doing things to us and we decide that we're sufficiently pissed off enough to go to war with them, why should we go to war without drones? I can understand if we want to try to maintain a global agreement on reluctance to use nukes, but I don't understand why anyone would think a drone is more like a nuke than it is like a missile, a howitzer shell, or an air strike.

Q:
Which files to upload on github?
I am new to frontend development, but I feel like I'm getting there. I'm currently creating a website for myself, however I still want to learn and do best practices. In that process I want to upload my project to GitHub.
I have created my initial project-framework with yeoman, package managed any js with bower, created a bower.json for any dependencies, compiled and minified my code with Grunt.
Which files would make sense to upload to GitHub? I don't think my entire directory would make sense?
My initial thought to upload:
index.html
main.css
main.js
bower.json
gruntfile.js
Below is my entire directory created in Yeoman
Gruntfile.js
bower_components
package.son
app (directory)
dist (directory created by grunt)
test (directory created by yeoman(?))
bower.json
node_modules (directory created by yeoman)
A:
Your project basically includes source code(which are created by developers), management configuration file(like bower.json, package.json etc.). All of these files need to be put on github. Other files like node_modules/, bower_components/, which can be downloaded from internet should not be put on github. You may think about this situation, all the files which need to support your web application logic should be put on github. Other files which can be downloaded can be ignored. In another way, you create the project structure and init the git repository. Which files should be needed if other people clone this repository to their machine?

Along with the development of the display technology, a flexible display device with a display mode close to a conventional display mode will come into people's view very quickly. Due to such feature as being bendable, it is able for the flexible display device to provide special user experience.
Currently, the flexible display device, e.g., a flexible display Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) device, still adopts a structure similar to a conventional rigid display device, i.e., a cathode layer on a flexible substrate is formed by an entire layer made of a metal, such as aluminium, silver or magnesium.
However, as compared with the rigid display device in the related art, the flexible display device needs to be bent repeatedly, so as to meet different usage requirements. In addition, a binding force between the cathode layer and an organic material layer is very small. After being bent repeatedly, the cathode layer may be easily broken and meanwhile separated from the organic material layer, so a service life of the flexible display device may be seriously adversely affected. |

DOYO Live, Youngstown’s first-ever content marketing and interactive design conference, will take place tomorrow at Youngstown State University.
It’s an important milestone in Youngstown’s decades-long recovery and, in my estimation it’s more proof that people from outside the region recognize the Valley as a place to learn, to grow and do business.
For more proof one needs only look to the technology companies emerging from the Youngstown Business Incubator (and other businesses choosing to relocate to the YBI campus from New York and California), America Makes and the power of additive manufacturing, and the millions-of-dollars in grants and gifts flowing into YSU for research and education.
Want more proof? People who left the Valley to find opportunities in other cities are returning with a new business acumen, fresh perspectives on the role technology plays in our personal and professional lives, and an impressive network of business contacts.
Professionals like marketing consultant, Dennis Schiraldi, who followed job opportunities in New York City, Cleveland and Columbus, only to return to Youngstown three years ago to be a part of the revitalization.
Following our talks at TEDxYoungstown, Schiraldi shared with me his vision for bringing a first-class social media marketing conference to Youngstown.
Note that Lori Shandor, co-founder of TEDxYoungstown, was instrumental in spurring that conversation (even if she doesn’t know it). TEDxYoungstown brought a lot of people together to talk about technology, business and opportunities.
In some ways, DOYO is a continuation of those TEDx talks, albeit with a focus on marketing and interactive media.
Eighteen months later, we’re seeing Schiraldi’s vision come to life.
Schiraldi now gets to add “Founder of DOYO Live” to his impressively expanding resume of experiences.
We also refer to Schiraldi as DOYO’s chief evangelist, a title he now proudly displays on his Facebook page and LinkedIn profile. If that title sounds familiar to you, it’s also the title bestowed on Jim Cossler, CEO of the YBI.
The title is significant because it recognizes these individuals as leaders who preach growth and opportunities available in Youngstown to people outside the region.
Cossler does this by luring great tech start-ups to the Valley.
Schiraldi is doing this by bringing leading social media, marketing and design experts to share their knowledge with professionals from Youngstown and beyond.
On a personal note, Schiraldi is also a part-time instructor in our department of communication at YSU. I’ve witnessed first-hand the evangelical power he brings to the classroom, energizing the next generation of social media marketers, right here in our own backyard.
In many ways, social media has made the world smaller. You don’t need to be in New York City or Chicago, Shanghai or Dubai, to meet amazing professionals, to network, and to learn about the future of social media and marketing.

Measurements and models of synchronous growth of fission yeast induced by temperature oscillations.
Pulsing of temperature in a fermentor at intervals coincident with cell generation time was used to induce synchrony in a population of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Measurements of culture protein, RNA, and DNA during synchronous growth confirm continuous synthesis of protein and RNA and discontinuous synthesis of DNA as previously reported. Flow microfluorometry of populations at different times during the synchrony cycle was used to monitor the changes in single-cell protein. RNA, and DNA frequency functions. These measurements illustrate very clearly the degree of synchrony and patterns of macromolecular synthesis and also confirm previous estimates of the cellular protein contents characteristic of dividing cells. Additional insights into single-cell kinetics and division controls are provided by two-parameter flow microfluorometry measurements and by mathematical modeling of population dynamics. Such data are necessary foundations for robust population balance models of microbial processes. |
Central Highlands Terrane
The Central Highlands Terrane, also known as the Grampian Terrane, is a sequence of early Paleozoic metamorphic rocks containing many igneous intrusions. It stretches from the Great Glen Fault, south-east down to the Highland Boundary.
The terrane contains mostly gabbro and gneiss that show intrusions of granite and dolerite. Limestones in the region also contain many fossils such as trilobites and brachiopods.

Q:
In IE6, how can I determine if window.open is redefined?
I have this odd problem with a third party script. On our site a popup window loads a demo of one of our applications when a link is clicked. The third party script is supposed to popup an additional window underneath at the same time or sometime thereafter.
(Yeah this sounds crazy but the popups must load in this way.)
Of course this works fine in FF3.
Problem is in IE6 only the third party script pops up, but not the demo popup. If I click the link again the demo popup works.
After the thirdparty script saves it's session cookie it's window doesnt popup anymore but then the Tools popup works. (if i reload the page and it saves the cookie info -- this is the expected behavior. the third party popup should only load on the first session)
Seems to me that at some point down the wire windows.open isnt getting called properly because of some timing issue or windows.open being redefined somewhere. I don't see any error messages.
To pinpoint the issue I thought I'd have to see whats going on with the windows on the click.
I guess I need some help in figuring out what information I should look for to try and debug this issue.
A:
This'll tell you if you're dealing with the real window.open or a redefined one:
var isOpenNative = /\[native/.test(window.open+'');

I Think I’ve Sold My Soul To Michael Schur…
There’s a chance you may not know who Michael Schur is, and that’s okay. I don’t expect you to. He’s the mastermind behind shows like The Office [US] (writer), Parks And Recreation (creator/producer/writer), and more recently, Brooklyn Nine-Nine (creator/producer). Parks And Rec is one of my favourite shows ever, and so many times, I’ve considered writing a post on why it’s amazing and why you should all watch it right away, but now I have an excuse to do so as I’ve come to terms with the fact that Michael Schur can make anything and I will watch it. He was also an SNL writer for a few years and played Dwight’s cousin Mose in The Office. Though he didn’t make these shows alone, he played a big part in their existence and for that, I am a huge fan! |

Q:
PostgreSQL Sequences across sessions
If two clients simultaneously insert into a table that has a unique sequenced column, can one client get a unique_violation? In other words, can both clients get the same result from calling nextval() ?
I did a quick google search, but couldn't find anything.
A:
As is covered in detail in the PostgreSQL documentation for sequences:
CREATE SEQUENCE
sequence manipulation functions
no two nextval calls on the same sequence may ever return the same value, even in concurrent transactions. In other words two separate nextval calls for the same sequence can never return the same value. This results in some other anomalies, like "holes" in the sequence values appearing where a transaction rolls back, which are again described in the documentation.

Touch sense panels and screens are used in a multitude of applications for user interfacing with consumer appliances, commercial and industrial control panels, etc. A plurality of touch sensors, e.g., capacitive, inductive, resistive, arranged in a matrix may each be individually actuated by placing an object such as a finger over specific areas of the touch sensor matrix. Each of the plurality of touch sensors arranged in the matrix has a defined area of activation and once the touch sensor matrix is design, no variation from its design layout is possible. Also fabrication of the matrix of touch sensors in the panel and supporting electronics thereto can be complicated and expensive. |
Q:
Grab word out of sentence
I've seen "split string" for this sort of thing, but I need something specific. I need the program to identify if the user put in a specific word into a sentence. I'm using it to program a very, VERY shoddy, basic AI program.
If the user inputs something like, "What is your name?" it will recognize that the user said "name" and go to a random name generator.
What is the code for grabbing a specific word (ignoring case) from a sentence so I can use it later (like in an if-else or something)?
A:
it is possible to use Regex that support word boundary in Java
Pattern patt = Pattern.compile("\\bname\\b");
Matcher m = patt.matcher(" v padaname bla");
System.out.println(m.find());
m = patt.matcher(" your name?");
System.out.println(m.find());

Immunotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Despite longstanding efforts in basic research and clinical studies, the prognosis for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains poor. About half of the patients are not medically fit for intensive induction therapy to induce a complete remission and are treated with palliative treatment concepts. The patients medically fit for intensive induction therapy have a high complete remission rate but the majority suffers from relapse due to chemo-refractory leukemic cells. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation as post-remission therapy can significantly reduce the likelihood of relapse, but it is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Novel therapeutic concepts are therefore urgently sought after. During recent years, the focus has shifted towards the development of novel immunotherapeutic strategies. Some of the most promising are drug-conjugated monoclonal antibodies, T-cell engaging antibody constructs, adoptive transfer with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, and dendritic cell vaccination. Here, we review recent progress in these four fields and speculate about the optimal time points during the course of AML treatment for their application. |

A new report published by the European Union Intellectual Property Office identifies a wide range of 'business models' that are used by pirate sites. The organization, which announced a new collaboration with Europol this week, signals Bitcoin and the Tor network as two key threats to ongoing anti-piracy efforts.
To avoid enforcement efforts, pirate sites often go to extremes to hide themselves from rightsholders and authorities.
Increasingly, this also means that they use various encryption technologies to increase their resilience and anonymity.
Several of these techniques are highlighted in a new report published by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
The report gives a broad overview of the business models that are used to illegally exploit intellectual property. This includes websites dedicated to counterfeit goods, but also online piracy hubs such as torrent sites and file-hosting platforms.
EUIPO hopes that mapping out these business models will help to counter the ongoing threat they face.
“The study will provide enhanced understanding to policymakers, civil society and private businesses. At the same time, it will help to identify and better understand the range of responses necessary to tackle the challenge of large scale online IPR infringements,” EUIPO notes.
According to the research, several infringing business models rely on encryption-based technologies. The Tor network and Bitcoin, for example, are repeatedly mentioned as part of this “shadow landscape”.
“It more and more relies on new encrypted technologies like the TOR browser and the Bitcoin virtual currency, which are employed by infringers of IPR to generate income and hide the proceeds of crime from the authorities,” the report reads.
According to the report, Bitcoin’s threat is that the transactions can’t be easily traced to a person or company. This is problematic, since copyright enforcement efforts are often based on a follow-the-money approach.
“There are no public records connecting Bitcoin wallet IDs with personal information of individuals. Because of these Bitcoin transactions are considered semi-anonymous,” EUIPO writes.
Similarly, sites and services that operate on the darknet, such as the Tor network, are harder to take down. Their domain names can’t be seized, for example, and darknet sites are not subject to ISP blockades.
“Through the use of TOR, a user’s Internet traffic is encrypted and routed in specific ways to achieve security and anonymity,” the report notes.
While the report doesn’t list any names, it describes various popular torrent, streaming and file-hosting sites. In one specific case, it mentions an e-book portal that operates exclusively on the darknet, generating revenue from Bitcoin donations.
Most traditional pirate sites still operate on the ‘open’ Internet. However, several sites now allow users to donate Bitcoin and both The Pirate Bay and KickassTorrents both have a dedicated darknet address as well.
EUIPO is clearly worried about these developments, but the group doesn’t advocate a ban of encryption-based services as they also have legitimate purposes.
However, it signals that these and other trends should be followed with interest, as they make it harder to tackle various forms of counterfeiting and piracy online.
As part of the efforts to cut back various forms of copyright infringement, EUIPO also announced a new partnership with Europol this week. The organizations launched the Intellectual Property Crime Coordinated Coalition which aims to strengthen the fight against counterfeiting and piracy. |
The ABO(H) blood group antigens appear to become dedifferentiated or are incompletely developed in many cases of cancer, particularly those characterized by marked anaplasia or metastases. Such losses could reflect deficiencies of the corresponding blood group transferase enzymes which are normally present as gene products. In malignancies characterized by deficient blood group activity it seems appropriate to determine whether such losses are due primarily to blood group transferase enzyme deficiency, or, alternatively to deficient acceptor molecules which cannot accept a specific sugar when its corresponding enzyme is normally available. It is also possible that some cancers produce both conditions which might be local or generalized depending on the nature and extent of the disease. It is proposed to study this problem prospectively as follows: tissue extract will be prepared from carcinomas mainly those of gastrointestinal origin, and from other malignancies such as acute leukemia. By means of hemagglutinin inhibition and agglutinin absorption, we will determine patterns of altered ABO(H) and carbohydrate specific lectin activity which might be characterized enough to be of potential value in cancer diagnosis or immunology therapy. Parallel studies will be carried out on smears and histologic sections of tissue using agglutination and fluorescent labelling methods. Comparisons will be made with corresponding normal tissues and organs. In cases where blood group deficiencies are demonstrable, specific blood group transferase enzymes will be searched for in tissue extracts and serum to determine whether they are local and/or general reflections of such changes in a blood group antigen. Blood group deficient cells from cancer patients will also be examined in the presence of normal amounts of transferase enzymes corresponding to the patients normal erythrocytic group to determine the functional status of the acceptor molecules on these cells. The possible usefulness of such tests in cancer diagnosis will be determined in serial patient investigation. |
Insight into catalyst speciation and hydrogen co-evolution during enantioselective formic acid-driven transfer hydrogenation with bifunctional ruthenium complexes from multi-technique operando reaction monitoring.
Transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone from formic acid/triethylamine mixtures catalysed by the Ikariya-Noyori complex [(mesitylene)RuCl(R,R)-(TsDPEN)] has been investigated using simultaneous high-resolution FlowNMR and FlowUV-Vis spectroscopies coupled with on-line sampling head-space mass spectrometry and chiral high-performance liquid chromatography using an integrated, fully automated recirculating flow setup. In line with previous observations, the combined results show a gradual switch from formic acid dehydrogenation to hydrogen transfer mediated by the same Ru-hydride complex, and point to a Ru-formate species as the major catalyst intermediate. Hydrogen bonding in the formic acid/triethylamine mixture emerges as a sensitive 1H NMR probe for the transfer hydrogenation activity of the system and can be used to locate optimum reaction conditions. |
Shocking video shows Texas police attacking black teens at pool party
Sunday morning, a video was released online showing officers brutally handling a group of teenagers dressed in swimwear.
The incident reportedly took place this weekend in McKinney, Texas — where a resident was having a pool party. Allegedly, neighbors were concerned about the large group of black children who were in attendance at the event and called the police to intervene.
Authorities arrived immediately to the predominately white neighborhood and proceeded to chase and handcuff the frightened partygoers without providing much information as to why.
At one point in the clip, an officer can be seen pinning a young girl in a bathing suit facedown into the grass while grabbing her by her braids. She and her friends hysterically scream as she is cuffed. The adults in the neighborhood are seen helplessly watching on as the girl sobs.
All throughout the clip, several detained young boys try to explain to the police that they just arrived to the scene and were not involved in whatever complaints had been made. They also appear confused as to why they have been cuffed. The video ends with the officer chastising the boys for “being part of the mob.”
The video itself seems to be taken by two young white men who briefly appear at the beginning of the clip. Despite filming the incident, they are treated politely by the officer, in stark contrast to his behavior with the other children.
An update on this story (including the police department’s reaction) can be seen here. |
Parapharyngeal abscess: diagnosis, complications and management in adults.
Parapharyngeal abscess may cause life-threatening complications. Peritonsillar abscess and tonsillitis may result in parapharyngeal abscess. Since the introduction of antibiotics, the incidence of parapharyngeal abscess secondary to tonsillitis and peritonsillar abscess has decreased dramatically. We present five cases of parapharyngeal abscess resulting from tonsillitis and peritonsillar infection extending to the parapharyngeal space in adult patients. Two were complicated by mediastinitis despite early treatment by wide spectrum antibiotics. We believe that early diagnosis and aggressive antibiotic treatment with early surgical drainage in cases associated with pus collection are the key points in preventing serious and fatal complications. We emphasize the diagnostic role of computerized tomography (CT) scan and the importance of early and proper drainage of these abscesses. |
Allergenic cross-reactivity among pollens of Urticaceae.
Common antigenic determinants have been observed between Parietaria and Urtica dioica pollen. The four Parietaria pollens selected (P. judaica, P. officinalis, P. lusitanica and P. mauritanica) are shown to possess a high allergenic homology. IgE-binding structures, homologous to the P. judaica main allergenic polypeptide (Pj10), were found in the other species by immunodetection. Monoclonal antibodies specific to the Pj10 polypeptide recognized proteins from the four Parietaria pollens. Skin prick test and RAST inhibition yielded results that also indicated a high allergenic cross-reactivity among these pollens, with homologous peptides bearing common antigenic and allergenic determinants. On the other hand, U. dioica pollen showed only a slight allergenic similarity to Parietaria. The potential allergenic activity of these pollens is discussed. |
Antibiotic prophylaxis for arthroscopic surgery.
Because the incidence of infection in arthroscopic surgery is very low, one can argue both for and against the use of prophylactic antibiotics. Administering antibiotics adds expense and introduces the potential for both exposure to allergic reactions and selection of resistant organisms. Antibiotics are given to prevent deep infection; such treatment may require further surgery, prolonged use of intravenous antibiotics, high costs, and outcomes that may be less than satisfactory. An answer to this controversial issue would require a study that includes large numbers of patients to make it adequately statistically powered because the incidence of infection is so low. No such research has yet been performed, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has not produced an advisory statement addressing this issue. It is the opinion of this author that antibiotic prophylaxis is indicated for arthroscopic surgery. Despite surgical team best practices, mistakes can occur. This has led the AAOS to issue an advisory statement to prevent wrong-site surgery. Similarly, complacency with repetition may produce breaks in sterility that may occasionally go undetected. Antibiotic usage may help to reduce infection in such circumstances. Arthroscopic procedures are not always performed in healthy patients. The risk of infection in "high-risk" patients, such as those with diabetes, immune problems, and skin disorders, may be reduced by prophylactic antibiotics. How one defines a case as arthroscopic can be debated. If small incisions are made, or if the scope is used for only a portion of the procedure, many would still consider the case to be arthroscopic. Surgeries are becoming more complex, which adds to their duration. Some cases also involve the use of implants such as interference screws and suture anchors. It is my opinion that antibiotics should be used in these situations. The potential exists for litigation in cases of infection. Medicolegally, it is easier to argue that all measures were taken to prevent infection if prophylactic antibiotics were given, although patient care issues supersede defensive medicine. Risk of infection in arthroscopic surgery is multifactorial, and antibiotic prophylaxis is only one facet of the issue. Although it is my opinion that antibiotics are recommended, others could be justified in supporting the opposite opinion, pending appropriately designed and adequately powered future investigations. |
Simulation of CA3 region of hippocampus by kinetic models.
The global activities of the hippocampal CA3 field which are induced by stimuli coming from entorhinal cortex have been investigated through computional experiments. The simulations are based on a mathematical model formulated within the frame of a kinetic theory of neural systems. To obtain a description closer to the real biological system, the kinetic model has been supplemented with elements describing the dynamics of neurotransmitters in synaptic clefts. Because high frequency activities occur in the CA3 field, elements for the description of receptor saturation and vesicle depletion phenomena have also been taken into account. The computational experiments show that CA3 model reacts to simulated stimuli from entorhinal sources activating the pyramidal neurons. This activity self-organizes within some limited areas, and spreads to the whole CA3 as a patterned reverberation of short period which requires both excitatory and inhibitory neural populations. The reverberating activity is then stopped by massive inhibition produced by slow-inhibitory neural population. The relationships between the parameters linked to the synaptic dynamic and the elements characterizing these patterns have been investigated. |

Bong-Joon Ho‘s film Snowpiercer is finally on the verge of being released in the US, and in its original cut, to boot. To announce that imminent release, The Weinstein Company has released a new Snowpiercer red-band trailer. And it’s a good time for the promo, as the film’s star, Chris Evans, is riding high on the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If there was ever a time to put out an explicit look at this film in which the remnants of humanity break down into class warfare aboard a train that keeps them all alive, it’s now.
A word of warning: those who have seen Snowpiercer say this trailer shows quite a lot. I haven’t seen the film yet, so can’t vouch for or refute that. So go in with it in mind.
The surviving members of humanity struggle to survive amidst a world covered in ice on a supertrain where the poor and the rich are constantly at odds in the English-language debut of filmmaker Bong Joon-ho (The Host). |
Spanning organizational boundaries to improve care and service: inpatient and outpatient chronic peritoneal dialysis.
The University of Michigan Health Systems (UMHS), an academic, tertiary care health system, provides chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) along an inpatient-outpatient continuum that gives patients access to an integrated system of settings, services, and care levels. An evaluation of key indicators was conducted to determine the quality of PD services as chronic dialysis clients were admitted to one UMHS inpatient unit. The challenge of matching the chronic PD patient's needs with the appropriate level of care along the health care continuum was addressed. This information presents an effective way to use quality data to improve PD care practices and patient outcomes. |
In power transmissions, a oil reservoir or sump is provided from which a pump draws fluid for delivery to various components within the transmission. The pump sends the fluid to a valve body which distributes the fluid under various pressures to a torque converter and to various transmission components as well as directing oil to a transmission oil cooler.
The transmission oil cooler returns the fluid to the transmission cross section lubrication system wherein various bearings and other rotating devices are lubricated. The transmission sump must contain enough oil to maintain the pump inlet covered and account for transmission oil in transit between the oil cooler and the transmission sump. That is, the oil directed to the lubrication circuit becomes oil in transit once the transmission is put in operation thereby reducing the level of the oil in the sump. Thus, the initial sump fill must be at a sufficient level to account for the in transit oil and maintain the pump inlet covered at all times.
In transit, oil volume is very large at cold temperatures due to the viscosity of the oil. As temperature increases, oil volume in transit decreases as viscosity decreases, thereby increasing oil level in the sump. In prior art devices, this increase in volume is normally accommodated by a secondary storage reservoir or by making the original reservoir sufficiently deep thereby making room for oil expansion. |
Q:
Get facebook profile picture update time using graph api for android
Can anyone tell me how to get the update datatime for profile picture of facebook friend using Graph API for android.
In simple words I need to know when a person updated his/her profile picutre in my android application.
Thanks
A:
The user object has a field called updated_time, which reflects some profil updates, including the profile picture. (Although I seem to recall that this was limited to updates occurring within a certain timespan, so you might have to check that regularly.) To see whether it was their profile picture that was updated, or something else, you would have to compare the URL with the previous one, I guess.
The better/easier way would probably be to access the user’s album, look for the one with "name": "Profile Pictures"/"type": "profile", and request the details of it’s cover_photo field. (The current profile picture is always the cover picture of that album.)
Then, when looking the ID of the cover photo up, you’ll get the two fields created_time and updated_time.
Depending on what exactly you are trying to achieve, you might have to store the last update’s timestamp somewhere in your app for comparison.

Q:
Can one signal that a target has not been rebuilt, from its recipe?
In GNU make, is there any way to detect or forcibly signal that a (phony) target hasn't resulted in any rebuild action even though its recipe has been triggered?
What I want is a recursive make call, like:
target: subtarget
# recipe
.PHONY: subtarget
subtarget:
$(MAKE) -C subdir something
Of course it's quite possible that the recursive make call finds there's nothing to make for something. But by that time, since the recipe for subtarget has been started, the recipe for target will also always be executed. Is there any way to avoid this?
(I have seen that the GNU manual advises against using phony targets as prerequisites, but that in itself seems quite a restriction of their usefulness.)
Seems to me this should be a common problem, but I've not found any references. Any help is much appreciated.
ADDED: in the context where I want to use this, I don't necessarily know what something builds exactly: it, too, might be a phony target that eventually creates a bunch of *.xyz files that I do not know or want to know at this level (separation of concerns and all that). Otherwise it would be easy to add subdir/something as a prerequisite to subtarget.
A:
No, there is no way to signal make to not run a target. Make looks only at modification times to tell when to rebuild something.
However, make will not rebuild a target if none of its prerequisites are newer than it is, even if the recipe for that prerequisite was invoked.
So, in your situation you need to remove the .PHONY, then have target depend on something, not on some phony rule subtarget. Finally you have to ensure that subtarget itself is always run. A simple way is with the old-school FORCE method (note this is not special to make; naming it FORCE is just a convention). Something like this:
target: something
# recipe
something: FORCE
$(MAKE) -C subdir $@
FORCE: ;
Now something is always remade (so the sub-make always runs), but target will only be remade if something actually changes its timestamp.

In a typical telephone system, a subscriber's telephone is connected to a central office switching system by a subscriber loop consisting of two metallic conductors (referred to as "tip" and "ring" respectively). The subscriber loops are organized into cables which are routed to the premises of subscribers and potential subscribers. The subscriber loops terminate on a main distribution frame that services the particular region.
The subscriber loops are connected to terminals on one side of the main distribution frame, and the input lines to the central office switching system are connected to terminals on the other side. The main distribution frame makes the assignments between input lines to the central office switching system and the subscriber loops. In order to connect a new telephone subscriber onto the telephone company's central office switching system, a connection must be made from an input line of the central office switch to the desired subscriber loop. This connection will be referred to as a "call path." Presently, most of the call path connections are made manually. It would be more efficient and less costly to make the connections automatically from a remote location. Some main distribution frames can do this by utilizing switch matrices. A typical switch matrix contains hundreds of relay modules which are themselves smaller switch matrices. Each relay module contains many independently operable crosspoint switches. Each crosspoint has a double-pole, single-throw switch which connects both the tip and ring conductors.
The crosspoint switches in the switch matrix allow pairs of signal lines to be connected. The operations of the switch matrix must be organized so that when the crosspoint switches make the connections to form the call path, other lines in the switch matrix are not affected. Each line into the switch matrix must be capable of being connected to any of the lines out of the switch matrix (provided the line in question is not already connected to another input line). In general, a switch matrix is capable of connecting any of N input lines to any of M output lines without disturbing existing connections. A relay module with n input lines and m output lines has nxm crosspoints.
A call path from an input line to a subscriber loop may take many different paths through the switch matrix. Each call path involves a number of relay modules and crosspoint switches within the relay modules. If a crosspoint connection fails, by the crosspoint switch not closing or opening when desired, the call path will not be operable. A crosspoint switch may fail by being stuck open, stuck closed, or having the tip or ring contact alone being stuck open or closed. A typical failure is such that one contact is defective and the other operational; this is called a "half-crosspoint."
A problem in utilizing switch matrices in telecommunications applications is to find a defective crosspoint switch without disturbing other existing connections. The bad switch must be identified among many good switches and, because of the many possible paths through the switch matrix which a call path may take, the defective crosspoint switch must also be locatable independent of the length of the call path.
The detection, identification, and location of defective crosspoint switches should be done without significantly increasing the complexity of an already complex system. That is, the addition of more wires, instruments, and components for defect detection would complicate the existing system and add greatly to costs.
Further, efficient telephone operation requires that accurate detection and identification of the defective crosspoint be made from a remote location and be capable of automation, for instance, by computer control.
Since the crosspoint switches in the call paths may be rather close together in the sense that the impedance of the electrical conductors connecting these switches is small compared to the impedance of the total path through the cross-connect switch, the crosspoint detection and identification system must be capable of resolution sufficient to distinguish a defective crosspoint switch that is very close to a good crosspoint switch.
If a connection is made from the switch matrix to transmission long lines from outlying regions, there are effects from the long lines which may complicate the interpretation of signals indicating a defective crosspoint switch. An effective detection and identification system must address this problem.
The detection of faults in transmission cables has been done in the telecommunications industry by timing reflections of transmitted pulses by the fault back to the pulse source. This approach is most suitable for relatively uniform conductors which are hundreds to thousands of feet long. The timed reflection method is not suitable for switch matrix defect detection and identification because the reflections may occur because of any change in impedance along the conductor path, for instance, connectors, terminal blocks, and so on, which are not defects. Further, the accuracy and resolution of this method are not adequate for the relatively short paths found in switch matrices.
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to increase telephone service efficiency by providing a method for detecting, identifying, and locating defective crosspoint switches in switch matrices.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide detector, implementing circuit, and procedure means for detecting, identifying, and locating defective crosspoint switches in switch matrices.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a method and means for detecting, identifying, and locating defective crosspoint switches in a switch matrix without the need to modify existing switch matrices.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a crosspoint defect detection method and means which is adaptable to remote and automatic control.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a crosspoint defect detection method and means which is capable of defect resolution such that defective crosspoints which are relatively close to operable crosspoints are detectable and identifiable.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a crosspoint defect detection method and means which is capable of detecting, identifying, and locating defective crosspoints when a connection is made to a long-line conductor.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. |

Q:
How do I make parent with nowrap inherit width of inline-blocks
I'm having trouble getting a parent to inherit the width of it's children. The jsfiddle is here http://jsfiddle.net/4mk3S/
right now I just have an outer div with
white-space: nowrap;
and children divs with
display: inline-block;
I would like the outer div to inherit the width of it's entire group of children. Any help would be really appreciated, thanks!
Code :
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
.outer {
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 10px;
background: green;
}
.inner {
display: inline-block;
width: 1000px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
}
A:
add display: inline-block; to the parent also
inline-block forces the container to wrap all of its children while block (the default for div) sets the width to that of the parent
Updated fiddle
Relevant code to be changed
.outer {
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 10px;
background: green;
display:inline-block;

The present invention relates to an improved method of semiconductor testing, burning-in, and packaging.
Both standard module burn-in and wafer burn-in schemes are wasteful of time space and resource. Module burn-in requires dicing, bond, assembly, and test before burn-in, adding considerable expense to modules that fail burn-in. Wafer burn-in permits burn-in before dicing, saving the packaging cost for failing chips, but it obviously requires the inclusion of the failing chips on the wafer in the burn-in apparatus. Provision must then be provided for disconnecting shorted chips or handling very high currents while providing voltage uniformity. Thus, wafer burn-in is most cost effective for high yielding wafers.
Chip or die burn-in schemes like IBM's R3 process and TI's Diemate process avoid the packaging steps required by module burn-in. Only tested bare chips are burned-in. The R3 process permits simultaneous burn-in of a large array of chips. The chips are solder bump mounted on a ceramic substrate which can be reused a number of times. This provides advantage over the Diemate process which burns in only one chip at a time in each fixture. But the cost of the R3 process can still be expensive since the substrate can only be reused about ten or twenty times. And there is substantial cost for aligning and attaching chips to the substrate and then for removing them and preparing them for reattaching to a final substrate once burn-in is complete. Therefore the cost of producing known good die with module burn-in, wafer burn-in, the R3 process, or the Diemate process can be quite high. Thus, a better solution for test and burn-in is needed that lowers the cost, and that solution is provided by this invention. |
Medical Humanities: a question of style.
The Medical Humanities go beyond bioethics, cross over multiple disciplines and represent a new way of perceiving, seeing and thinking about illness. They represent a different view that gives value to the human side of treatment, that recognizes in self-narration an authentic and living foundation. Today, the technical aspects of medicine need more than ever to be accompanied by content derived from the arts and social or human sciences that focus on other, but not less important, aspects of being sick or in health. Everyday clinical practice in a "Medical Humanities style" can change the encounter with patients and their families, as well as the relationship with one's self and with colleagues. Adopting this wider perspective allows us to go further than contemporary biomedicine and continue to explore a unique understanding of mankind. |

Q:
java reflect method.invoke is not working
I'm trying to invoke a function using Method. The thing is the below code is not executing. I tried searching and it all ended the same. Can someone throw some light why it is not working? I had tried putting some log and it all reached until method.invoke function. There has been no exception thrown for the below code.
public String customSearchedParams() throws Exception
{
Class<?> dynamicObj = Class.forName(this.className);
Constructor<?> constructor = dynamicObj.getConstructor(long.class, long.class, long.class, long.class);
Object obj = constructor.newInstance(this.startTime, this.time, this.t1, this.t2);
Method method = dynamicObj.getMethod("getCustomSearch", new Class[]{long.class, long.class, long.class, long.class, long.class});
this.data = (String) method.invoke(obj, new Object[]{this.startTime, this.time, this.t1, this.t2, this.paramIDs});
return "SUCCESS";
}
Constructor:
public Traffic(long startTime, long endTime, long t1, long t2){
// Assign to local variables
}
getCustomSearch:
public String getCustomSearch(long startTime, long endTime, long t1, long t2, long paramIDs) throws Exception {
// do DB calls --> return JSONArray as String
}
A:
Class.getMethod() receives a variable length arguments. You should pass the classes as individual arguments instead of casting into array. Same with the invoke()
Method method = dynamicObj.getMethod("getCustomSearch", long.class, long.class, long.class, long.class, long.class);
this.data = (String) method.invoke(obj, this.startTime, this.time, this.t1, this.t2, this.paramIDs);

The present invention relates in general to electrified vehicles using a high voltage bus, and, more specifically, to accurate estimation of the effective isolation resistance present between each high-power bus and a chassis ground.
Electrified vehicles such as for electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles typically utilize a high voltage power bus driven by a DC power source which may include storage and/or conversion devices such as a multi-cell battery pack or a fuel cell. The presence of high-voltage buses creates a need for monitoring of the electrical isolation of each bus with respect to the electrically conductive components of the vehicle chassis (ground).
Any leakage resistance present between a DC bus and chassis ground must be sufficiently large. In typical leakage resistance detection systems, there is an assumption that leakage resistance will be between one of the positive or negative DC buses and chassis ground. A typical leakage detector circuit operates by periodically connecting one bus at a time to chassis ground through a current-limiting resistance, and using the resulting current flow to calculate the leakage resistance between the opposite bus and ground. The battery voltage divided by the calculated leakage resistance characterizes the electrical isolation.
The invention is based, in part, on a determination that conventional leakage resistance detection systems based on supplying a current from one bus through a known resistance to the leakage resistance between the ground and the other bus may ignore a potential balanced component of leakage resistance from both buses to ground that can sometimes result in the mischaracterization of the electrical isolation because of a potential discrepancy in the derived leakage resistance values. More specifically, a resistance may exist between the positive bus and chassis ground as well as a resistance of equal value between the negative bus and chassis ground. These resistances, both being equal in value, are hereafter referred to as symmetrical or balanced leakage resistance. A resistance on one bus to chassis without a matching value on the other bus to chassis is hereafter referred to as non-symmetrical or unbalanced leakage resistance. The additional current flow through the balanced leakage resistance may cause the prior art detection system to overestimate the composite balanced and unbalanced resistance which exists between one bus and chassis ground. Estimating this latter composite resistance is desirable in order to more accurately determine the isolation.
One typical source of a balanced leakage resistance would be a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, wherein a deionizer intended to remove ions from water being used as a coolant fails to maintain proper deionization. As ions build up, the conductance of the cooling water increases and the electrical isolation between both positive and negative fuel cell electrodes and ground is reduced. Another possible source of a balanced leakage resistance includes a symmetrical breakdown in cable insulation. |

Multifocal central nervous system demyelination and Lhermitte's phenomenon secondary to combination chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
The CRF regime (cyclophosphamide, rituximab and fludarabine) is used for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. We report a case of diffuse CNS demyelination following treatment with CRF, presenting with Lhermitte's phenomenon, and imaging and neurophysiological evidence of demyelination. Fludarabine is the most likely causative agent, although CNS demyelination has not been previously described in low dose therapy. |
Q:
Are there side effects in using Iron Blood Transformation?
In the series we see Toru activate his power every once in a while. And also disabling it every once in a while. The fact he disables it makes me wonder, do his powers have any side effects ? What exactly are his powers anyway?
A:
Iron Blood Transformation: A saboteur technique, activated by extreme mental concentration, that optimizes and redefines the user's entire body systems. This allows Toru to perform inhuman physical feats, such as repelling a feira unicorn or jumping several meters into the air. The transformation also substantially improves his combat skills and techniques, allowing him to fight against high level opponents. A drawback to using the Iron Blood Transformation is that the technique requires a huge amount of energy. When Toru transforms for the first time in a very long time, he needed a huge amount of food to restore himself or risk fainting. Another drawback is that it makes him more susceptible to poison, as the technique improves his respiratory system which would increase the flow of any poison inside him. In the anime, his hair turns red and two crimson streaks cross over his face while emitting a red aura during the transformation.

Traditional telephony carriers (Public Switched Telephony networks or PSTN) are moving towards a packet-based VoIP infrastructure. A key component of any telephony infrastructure is Call Control. Call control includes call setup and teardown. In VoIP, call control may be achieved through SIP. SIP is a standard protocol for VoIP messages. The SIP messages are text-based.
A key requirement for a robust VoIP call control infrastructure is overload control. Since VoIP is an emerging area and different components of the infrastructure are presently in a trial phase, large scale deployments of VoIP has not yet taken place. Once large scale deployments begin, call control in VoIP infrastructure will become critical in avoiding service outages and loss of revenue. Since VoIP is an emerging area, there has been little work on overload protection of VoIP servers.
In addition to landline telephony services, SIP has also been chosen as a signaling mechanism for third generation (3G) mobile telephony services, specifically by the 3GPP standards body in its release UMTS R00. The implication of this development is that overload protection for the SIP-based call control infrastructure is needed both for landline and mobile telephony services. A second implication is that in mobile telephony services, the control infrastructure has to support not only call setup and teardown, but the control infrastructure also has to handle terminal mobility between different cell boundaries. This support for hand-off represents an additional load on the call control servers.
Another important development is the use of SIP to carry instant messages (IM) and for supporting Presence. Presence is a term understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art and refers to the concept of letting interested users in the system know who is online/offline. For example, a SameTime server shows a “green” light next to someone logged in. Two methods are currently under standardization at the IETF standards body. One method, called SIMPLE, carries Instant Messaging payloads in SIP messages that conceivably will be processed by the same call control infrastructure, as networks moved towards offering converged voice and data services. Using SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence implies an additional load on the SIP based call control infrastructure.
In addition to handling call setup, teardown, hand-off and Instant Messaging, SIP call control servers need to also exchange routing information with other call control servers in order to route call setup messages appropriately.
For the reasons set forth above, there is a need in the art for a method and system of call control for SIP messages for VoIP. |
I sit in the corner and wait for the darkness to flow in and merge into the shadow that I have come to know so well. My heart beats harder as I feel the chill of your arrival. I freeze as I feel your force slam me to the wall. Taste my blood as my senses bleed shades of red. Drag my body through shards leaving a trail of blood on the floor. I wince at the warm spray that burns my wounds. Your nail slices my scalp as you peel my skin, leave my flesh naked. I feel your fingers curl around my throat, feel my pulse in your hands, hear my breath as you stab into my gut and pull it slowly, twine my entrails around my neck and over the desecrated bough of the forlorn tree. Your foul breath envelops my scream that escaped through sewn lips. I feel myself rise, levitate slowly, my feet failing to find the distant ground. I look into your face in the fading light of life and recognize a face I have known all my life - mine.

I know this is a hot take but Chris Paul is still a better basketball player than Stephen adams. Hell hes still a player that contributes to winning more than Westbrook. I wouldn't do thAt deal but if the thunder don't make a trade they are better than people think, if they hadn't traded grant I'd pick them to still be in the playoffs
I said this from day one..OKC is actually a good fit for Paul and they will be a pretty good team.
Paul/ DS
SGA/ Ferguson
Roberson
Gallinari
Adams
Paul will have a field day setting those guys up and having the ball in his hands at all times unlike in Houston. |
