Q:
What does the "RAILS_GEM_VERSION" setting do exactly?
What is the purpose of the RAILS_GEM_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb? Is it supposed to stop your app from running under an unexpected version of Rails?
I just keep Rails updated to the latest release on my laptop and in production. Since I do that, can I comment out RAILS_GEM_VERSION or should I set it for some reason?
A:
Since you can have more than one version of Rails installed on your system (you can check with gem list rails), your application needs to know which version it is supposed to use. It won't be very clever just to "keep Rails updated to the latest release" and let the application use the newest version, since since new version of Rails could very easily break it (every new release means some changes to the API). This constant is irrelevant, however, if you "freeze" the version of Rails your app is build for, in the vendor folder. Btw. freezing Rails is a good practice, since your app is then more independent on the environment.

The present invention relates, in general, to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to such structures having a barrier layer of titanium.
Diffusion barriers are typically used in semiconductor manufacturing when it is desired to prevent diffusion of certain materials used to form various conductive, semiconductive, or insulating layers of a semiconductor device. An example of one situation where it is desirable to prevent such diffusion is the formation of metal contacts to silicon, such as in a platinum to silicon contact. In the absence of a diffusion barrier between the platinum and silicon, platinum atoms diffuse into the bulk silicon material and silicon atoms diffuse into the bulk platinum material. Further, at the elevated operating temperatures typically used for semiconductor devices such as some chemical sensors, the platinum and silicon will diffuse and react to form platinum silicide at the contact interface. This diffusion and reaction severely degrade the quality of the contact, including an increase in contact resistance.
Also, in certain chemical sensor applications the sensor will be exposed to an oxygen-containing ambient. In the absence of a diffusion barrier, oxygen from the ambient being sensed can diffuse into interior portions of the sensor containing silicon and chromium, which can be oxidized by this diffused oxygen.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to have a diffusion barrier that would prevent diffusion of metals, silicon, and oxygen while maintaining contact integrity, including during operation at elevated temperatures. |

Q:
Add Class Based on Style Attribute
The CMS I'm using doesn't seem to apply a class name if the element is floated left or right. I was hoping to not have to mess with the TinyMCE code stuff, and instead do this with jQuery.
Right now, when I align an image to the left or right, it will add the styles inline with the image like so:
<img src="image.jpg" style="float:left">
I was hoping that for those elements that have that style applied, I could add a class name of "alignleft". I tried this, but it does not work:
$( 'a[ style=' + 'float: left;' + ']' ).addClass( 'alignleft' );
Thoughts?
A:
I'd suggest selecting the possible elements that might be float: left and then filtering to find those that are, and adding the class-name of alignleft to those:
$('a, img').filter(function(){
return this.style.float === 'left';
}).addClass('alignleft');
This approach avoids the requirement that the style attribute must begin with the, and be exactly, style="float: left;", including the precise white-space.
Of course, this approach does require that the float: left is assigned in the inline style attribute; if there's a chance that it might be assigned in a stylesheet, whether external or in the head of the page, then you'd have to use jQuery's css() method (which can call getComputedStyle() or currentStyle() to parse those stylesheets (unless you want to do so yourself), leading to:
$('a, img').filter(function(){
return $(this).css('float') === 'left';
}).addClass('alignleft');

Health care management according to Ben Franklin.
The evolution of health care management in the 20th century has been from physician/nurse to health administration generalist to management specialist to political leader. I foresee an increase in the number of physicians and nurses in institutional leadership positions; and the increasing concentration of health care resources in multi-institutional systems will facilitate career development in continuing education. The challenge to educational programs will be the synthesis of the health sciences and the management sciences. The health care CEO of the 1990s will learn to behave like a prime minister by the 21st century. |
Q:
Laravel: Get softdeleted row in a query builder consult
How do I get a row that was sofdeleted for example
This is my code:
$mov = $emp->movimientos()->where('movimiento.linea_id', intval($request->id_caso))->with('producto_nombre', 'costo_promedio');
I have this consult, one movimientos is related with a costo_promedio, but if in some case acosto_promedio is softdeleted the result in my consult $mov will give me null in the part of costo_promedio.
The thing is, where do I have to puth the withTrashed() method to get all data even the ones that were softdeleted
Thx for the help
A:
Use with() with a closure:
$mov = $emp->movimientos()
->where('movimiento.linea_id', intval($request->id_caso))
->with([
'producto_nombre',
'costo_promedio' => function($query) {
$query->withTrashed();
}
]);

Kinetics of the antigen:antibody reaction. Light scattering and particle size measurement using photon correlation spectroscopy.
Many techniques for the estimation of specific proteins measure light scattered by, or the turbidity of, suspensions of antigen:antibody aggregates formed in fluid-phase reactions. Although the shapes of reaction curves obtained are well documented, interpretation of the data in relation to the laws of light scattering and the mechanism of the antigen:antibody reaction are poorly described in the literature. Using photon correlation spectroscopy it has been shown that antigen:antibody complexes continue to grow in size even when no further increases in scatter intensity or turbidity are apparent. |
[Debate on abolishment and preservation of traditional Chinese medicine during the Republican Period].
The issue on preservation and abolishment of traditional Chinese medicine was reflected in many ways during the Republican Period. The written debate of both sides was really another important yet sharp form of struggle between them. The debate, lasting several years, dealt with many aspects of TCM, including yin and yang, medical education, abolishment of traditional Chinese medicine, and national Medicine issue. This debate involved not only the medical circles itself, but also the mass, and even the political circles. The nature of the debate was evolved continually from the original medical theory to ideological and cultural and even the political consciousness fields. |

In general, various panels such as floor warming panel, etc. have so far been manufactured by injecting liquid of a heat insulating material such as urethane foam, etc. into an outer shell structure interior in a hollow planar shape with conduit tube for passing heating medium through it being arranged, thereby forming an integral heat insulating layer. However, in injecting liquid of the heat insulating material such as urethane foam, etc. into the outer shell structure, the liquid running at a high speed collides with the outer shell structure, which tends to cause displacement of those fixed parts such as stud nuts which have been tentatively secured at positions inside the outer shell structure, where they meet the gushing liquid of the insulating material, or breakage and damage to those joined portions at such colliding positions with the consequent high rate of yield of disqualified product.
Similarly, in the injection into the outer shell structure of the liquid such as urethane foam, etc., the liquid running at a high speed collides with the inner wall of the outer shell structure opposite to the injection port from the direction substantially perpendicular to it, on account of which the liquid in the outer shell structure takes a random flowing direction to cause, in most cases, unfilled portion, i.e., mold cavity to be created at the center part of the outer shell structure which is structurally unstable with the consequent high rate of yield of disqualified product. |
Electrowetting on dielectric experiments using graphene.
We report electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) experiments using graphene; a transparent, flexible and stretchable nanomaterial. Graphene sheets were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, and transferred to various substrates (including glass slides and PET films). Reversible contact angle changes were observed on the Teflon-coated graphene electrode with both AC and DC voltages. Nyquist plots of the EWOD reveal that the graphene electrode has higher capacitive impedance than gold electrodes under otherwise identical conditions, suggesting a lower density of pin-holes and defects in the Teflon/graphene electrode than in the Teflon/gold electrode. Furthermore, we have observed reduced electrolysis of the electrolyte and smaller leakage current in the dielectric layer (Teflon) on graphene electrodes than on Au electrodes at the same Teflon thickness and applied voltage. We expect that the improved EWOD properties using graphene as an electrode material will open the door to various applications, including flexible displays and droplet manipulation in three-dimensional microfluidics. |

International standardization of laboratory control of oral anticoagulant therapy: a survey of thromboplastin reagents used for prothrombin time testing.
The prothrombin time (PT) test is the primary measurement in the laboratory control of oral anticoagulant treatment. The traditional expression of PT test results, either as percentage prothrombin activity or PT ratio, is inadequate for international communication and comparison because the values depend on the nature of the thromboplastin test system used. The WHO recommended universal scale of reporting PT results is based on calibration of local thromboplastin systems against an international reference preparation. This scale is the International Normalized Ratio (INR). Application of the INR scale in clinical practice should be encouraged by External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes, which improve its precision. Many physicians are insufficiently aware of the different sensitivities of rabbit thromboplastins, which result in different anticoagulation intensities being employed in different clinics. Improvement in the situation can only be achieved by continuous education. The more widespread use of the INR scale should facilitate international comparison of anticoagulation results and eventually consensus on optimal target values. The introduction of the INR to countries not already using it, particularly the USA, should be strongly encouraged by all physicians with an interest in anticoagulation and especially those undertaking the long-term management of patients with prosthetic heart valves. |
News Transfer Rumours West Ham
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has identified Olivier Giroud as his main target for this transfer window according to various sources including Sky Sports and the reliable @ExWHUEmployee on Twitter.
The Frenchman wants regular playing time at Arsenal, but with the North London club targeting Alexandre Lacazette, it’s unlikely Giroud will have his wish. It has been reported Arsenal would let go of Giroud for a fee in the region of £20m.
West Ham would face competition from French side Olympique Lyonnais, though. The French side are said to be looking for a replacement for Alexandre Lacazette, who could be on his way to Arsenal. The only thing that seems to be making the deal difficult for the signing of Olivier Giroud is Arsenal’s lack of depth in the striker position, with Chilean superstar Alexis Sánchez seemingly on the way out, leaving Arsenal with just Lucas Pérez and the injury-prone Danny Welbeck.
West Ham source, known as ExWHUEmployee on Twitter, has since said that the signing of Olivier Giroud is reliant on Arsenal bringing in a suitable replacement. The Hammers are also in a very similar situation with Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, despite being snubbed by him last season. He has since grown frustrated at the lack of game time and is looking to leave Chelsea, whether it be a permanent or on loan signing, leaving West Ham with a possible decision to make, given both parties are interested in the move. |

Customizing Horizon
===================
Changing the Site Title
=======================
The OpenStack Dashboard Site Title branding (i.e. "**OpenStack** Dashboard")
can be overwritten by adding the attribute ``SITE_BRANDING``
to ``local_settings.py`` with the value being the desired name.
The file ``local_settings.py`` can be found at the Horizon directory path of
``horizon/openstack-dashboard/local/local_settings.py``.
Changing the Logo
=================
The OpenStack Logo is pulled in through ``style.css``::
#splash .modal {
background: #fff url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat center 35px;
h1.brand a {
background: url(../images/logo.png) top left no-repeat;
To override the OpenStack Logo image, replace the image at the directory path
``horizon/openstack-dashboard/dashboard/static/dashboard/images/logo.png``.
The dimensions should be ``width: 108px, height: 121px``.
Modifying Existing Dashboards and Panels
========================================
If you wish to alter dashboards or panels which are not part of your codebase,
you can specify a custom python module which will be loaded after the entire
Horizon site has been initialized, but prior to the URLconf construction.
This allows for common site-customization requirements such as:
* Registering or unregistering panels from an existing dashboard.
* Changing the names of dashboards and panels.
* Re-ordering panels within a dashboard or panel group.
To specify the python module containing your modifications, add the key
``customization_module`` to your ``settings.HORIZON_CONFIG`` dictionary.
The value should be a string containing the path to your module in dotted
python path notation. Example::
HORIZON_CONFIG = {
"customization_module": "my_project.overrides"
}
You can do essentially anything you like in the customization module. For
example, you could change the name of a panel::
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
import horizon
# Rename "User Settings" to "User Options"
settings = horizon.get_dashboard("settings")
user_panel = settings.get_panel("user")
user_panel.name = _("User Options")
Or get the instances panel::
projects_dashboard = horizon.get_dashboard("project")
instances_panel = projects_dashboard.get_panel("instances")
And limit access to users with the Keystone Admin role::
permissions = list(getattr(instances_panel, 'permissions', []))
permissions.append('openstack.roles.admin')
instances_panel.permissions = tuple(permissions)
Or just remove it entirely::
projects_dashboard.unregister(instances_panel.__class__)
.. NOTE::
``my_project.overrides`` needs to be importable by the python process running
Horizon.
If your module is not installed as a system-wide python package,
you can either make it installable (e.g., with a setup.py)
or you can adjust the python path used by your WSGI server to include its location.
Probably the easiest way is to add a ``python-path`` argument to
the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` line in Apache's Horizon config.
Assuming your ``my_project`` module lives in ``/opt/python/my_project``,
you'd make it look like the following::
WSGIDaemonProcess [... existing options ...] python-path=/opt/python
Button Icons
============
Horizon provides hooks for customizing the look and feel of each class of
button on the site. The following classes are used to identify each type of
button:
* Generic Classes
* btn-search
* btn-delete
* btn-upload
* btn-download
* btn-create
* btn-edit
* btn-list
* btn-copy
* btn-camera
* btn-stats
* btn-enable
* btn-disable
* Floating IP-specific Classes
* btn-allocate
* btn-release
* btn-associate
* btn-disassociate
* Instance-specific Classes
* btn-launch
* btn-terminate
* btn-reboot
* btn-pause
* btn-suspend
* btn-console
* btn-log
* Volume-specific classes
* btn-detach
Additionally, the site-wide default button classes can be configured by
setting ``ACTION_CSS_CLASSES`` to a tuple of the classes you wish to appear
on all action buttons in your ``local_settings.py`` file.

Q:
How persist using XMLParse with JPA
I have an XML Parse as the example I picked up on the internet of channel codeur java:
public class Example{
public void getParserXML(String f){
Obtain and configure a SAX basead parser
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
Obtain object for SAX parser
SAXParser saxp = null;
try {
saxp = factory.newSAXParser();
} catch (ParserConfigurationException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Example.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (SAXException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Example.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
Default handler for SAX handler class
all three methos are written in handler's body
DefaultHandler handler;
handler = new DefaultHandler(){
boolean bnamePerson = false;
boolean bagePerson = false;
String namePerson, agePerson;
PersonEntity personEnt = new PersonEntity();
CallPersist callPer = new CallPersist();
This method is called every time the parser gets an open tag '<'
identifies which tag is being open at time by assingning an open flag
Public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException{
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("namePerson")){
bnamePerson = true;
}
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("agePerson")){
bagePerson = true;
}
}
Public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException{
}
Print data stored in between '<' and '>' tags
Public void characters(char ch[], int start, int lenght)throws SAXException{
if(bnamePerson){
System.out.println("Name Person is "+new String(ch, start, lenght));
namePerson = new String(ch, start, lenght);
personEnt.setName(namePerson);
bnamePerson = false;
}
if(bagePerson){
System.out.println("Age is "+new String(ch, start, lenght));
agePerson = new String(ch, start, lenght);
personEnt.setAge(agePerson);
bagePerson = false;
}
callPer.persistPerson(personEnt);
}
};
try {
saxp.parse(f, handler);
} catch (SAXException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Example.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Example.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
The function CallPersist just have this:
public void persistPerson(PersonEntity personEnt){
EntityManager em = EntityManagerHelper.getEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.getTransaction().commit();
em.persist(personEnt);
em.clear();
em.close();
}
Notes:
For JPA does not returnner an Atomicity error, I put the ID manually.
The programm execute normal, but the data not are persists.
What the way right for resolve this?
A:
The order of the transaction calls are wrong.
It should be:
public void persistPerson(PersonEntity personEnt){
EntityManager em = EntityManagerHelper.getEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.persist(personEnt);
em.getTransaction().commit();
em.clear();
em.close();
}

Distributed Data Movers (DDM)
In most software archive architectures there often exists some sort of bottleneck when moving data (I/O) to and from the “archive.” These architectures are problematic, causing unknown server sizing as well as limitations to load level as performance needs grow. In a StorNext-based architecture, the actual data movement is handled by a Distributed Data Mover (DDM), which acts as the conduit for passing data to and from primary storage to the storage tiers. As the archive becomes more active, you can simply add more DDMs to scale the system performance. These movers enable reads and writes of file copies for data preservation and retrieval while still providing fast access to data via the copy on primary disk. |

Hydraulic lash adjusters (also sometimes referred to as “lifters”) for internal combustion engines have been in use for many years to eliminate clearance (or “lash”) between engine valve train components under varying operating conditions, in order to maintain efficiency and to reduce noise and wear in the valve train. Hydraulic lash adjusters regulate the transfer of energy from the valve actuating cam to the valves through hydraulic fluid trapped in a pressure chamber in the plunger. During each operation of the cam, as the length of the valve actuating components varies as a result of temperature changes and wear, small quantities of hydraulic fluid are permitted to enter the pressure chamber, or escape therefrom, thus effecting an adjustment in the length of the lash adjuster, and consequently adjusting the effective total length of the valve train. In certain applications, the overall length is adjusted by configuring the rocker arm of the valve train to pivot on the lash adjuster.
Lash adjusters often incorporate subassemblies of multiple components, including plungers. Minimizing the number of components in a subassembly reduces the amount of time and resources required to assemble the lash adjuster. |

Q:
Javascript 'if' statement using .includes()
I have an array containing file paths as strings. I need to search through this array & make a new array including only those which contain a certain word. How would I create an if statement that includes the 'includes' method?
Here's my code so far:
var imagePaths = [...]
if(imagePaths.includes('index') === 'true'){
???
}
Thank you in advance
A:
You don't need to compare booleans to anything; just use them:
if (imagePaths.includes('index')) {
// Yes, it's there
}
or
if (!imagePaths.includes('index')) {
// No, it's not there
}
If you do decide to compare the boolean to something (which in general is poor practice), compare to true or false, not 'true' (which is a string).

Trump's Son On Waterboarding Is As Idiotic As His Dad
The Republican presidential candidate’s son likens the harsh interrogation technique used on suspected terrorists to everyday frat house shenanigans.
Apparently, penchant for torture runs in the Trump family.
Just this weekend, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump doubled down on his call to bring back waterboarding — one of the cruelest interrogation techniques used on suspected terrorists — and then said he wanted to “go a lot further” than that.
Proving an apple does not fall far from the tree, the real-estate mogul’s second son, Eric, has also come forward to defend his dad’s position on the matter.
“You see these terrorists that are flying planes into buildings, right? You see our cities getting shot up in California,” Eric Trump said during an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “You see Paris getting shot up. And then somebody complains when a terrorist gets waterboarded, which quite frankly is no different than what happens on college campuses and frat houses every day.”
Although his appearance on “On the Record” wasn’t that long, but he still managed to paint a rather disturbing image of what supposedly goes on inside the fraternity houses.
“You know the man would keep this country safe,” the young Trump added. “There is no question about it.”
As Gawker pointed out, Eric Trump went to Georgetown, where Greek life had been limited until recently, so there is a good chance that he doesn’t know much about frat house shenanigans. Or maybe he doesn’t understand what waterboarding really is.
But if it's so innocuous, we're sure the younger Trump will volunteer to give waterboarding and try — and then tell us if it's as harmless as a college prank. |

Energy and facility management software
Energy and facility management software is a term used to refer to an enterprise-wide platform for handling technical data related to buildings and stems from the merger of EMS (energy management software), CAFM (Computer Aided Facility Management) and EAS (Energy Accounting Software). As such it involves the gathering and processing or information that is required for maintaining acceptable indoor comfort level while minimizing energy use.
Purpose
An EFMS serves a dual purpose:
Tactical: On a day-to-day operational level an EFMS will help improve comfort level where required while minimizing energy consumption. Should comfort level not be an issue, the EFMS will focus processes and resources on reducing energy spending.
Strategic: On a mid-to-long term scope an EFMS will support the development strategy of the organization with information that will support managerial decisions such as systems, vendors or processes efficiencies, ratings and critical areas etc.
Method
Information Classes
To achieve its purpose an EFMS integrates several informational classes in a common processing environment, mainly:
Energy consumption information information commonly handled by an EMS and derived from online metering devices (such as Electric Energy meters and Gas meters).
System information such as HVAC systems settings, sensor readings etc. commonly resident in a BMS.
Assets Information, such as building size, floor number and area, cooling capacity of installed HVAC systems, maintenance logs etc. commonly found in a CAFM system.
Weather information commonly derived from internet weather feeds or locally installed sensors.
Occupancy / Use information such as room occupancy of a hotel or customers served at a retail store commonly found in an ERP.
Utility bills information commonly resident in an EAS (Energy Accounting Software).
Components
An EFMS should be consisted of at least the following modules:
Visualization / Dashboard Module which will present graphical or table illustrations of energy information (from EMS), system information (from BMS) and Billing information (from EAS).
Alarming Module which will create and manage alarms based on given threshold values and / or Faults Detection & Diagnosis detection methods.
Work Order Module which will create and manage notifications of alarms directed towards appropriate users. The Work Order Module will manage actions of users related to each fault along the Fault Cycle (birth, detection, diagnosis, action, evaluation).
Data Sources Module which will manage the connection to and synchronization with the various data sources such as energy management systems and metering devices, BMS, EAS, ERP etc.
Reporting Module which will manage the creation and distribution of energy and facility reports.
Processes
The processes performed in an EFMS fall under the categories of:
Entry Processes which may be tactical such as the automated synchronization with a BMS or ERP or ad hoc such as the manual entry of utility bills data or the upload of a maintenance log.
FDD Processes (Faults Detection & Diagnosis) which may include sub-processes for setting various thresholds, selecting from a list of rules which ones should be applied to each specific building / installation and the tactical application of rule sets and threshold values to an FDD scanning process of building related data.
Work Order Processes which include processes for relaying alerts and faults to users and managing the actions they undertake until the issue is resolved.
Reporting Processes which involve tactical creation of visualization elements and reports or ad hoc querying processes for data mining and faults investigation.
Applications
Applications of integrated EFMS suites will benefit mostly organizations with either very large and busy facilities, such as malls, hotel complexes and transportation hubs the complexity of which challenges operational efficiency and organizations with many buildings dispersed across remote locations such as retail chains, restaurant chains, banks and food store chains which operate medium-sized buildings that stretch facility management operations to high costs.
Commercial property managers that plan and manage energy efficiency projects generally use a software platform to perform energy audits and to collaborate with contractors to understand their full range of options. The Department of Energy (DOE) Software Directory describes EnergyActio software, a cloud based platform designed for this purpose.

Resolution of RNA using high-performance liquid chromatography.
High-performance liquid chromatographic techniques can be very effective for the resolution and isolation of nucleic acids. The characteristic ionic (phosphodiesters) and hydrophobic (nucleobases) properties of RNAs can be exploited for their separation. In this respect anion-exchange and reversed-phase chromatography have been successfully employed in the analysis and/or isolation of RNAs. In some cases, particularly tRNAs, chromatographic separations which rely upon multiple interactions between the solute and mobile and/or stationary phases have been highly effective. Mixed-mode chromatography involving simultaneous ionic and hydrophobic interactions, has been employed to resolve complex mixtures of tRNAs. Hydrophobic-interaction chromatography using gradients of decreasing salt concentration and weakly hydrophobic stationary phases has allowed the resolution of some tRNA mixtures as well as the analysis of modified materials. |

Q:
What causes a notch in the atrial pressure?
I wanted to know why there is a sort of fluctuation in "E" in the tracing of the atrial pressure right before the mitral valve opens (not the notch because of the Aortic valve closure).
Source for image:
Costanzo- Physiology
P.S. The x-axis is time
A:
The left atrial pressure tracing here is not the best part of this figure. It might have some pedagogical value if it were discussed in the text, but it's not.
Measuring left atrial pressure directly requires a puncture or a pathological condition (e.g., a septal defect). This is why you'll typically see pulmonary capillary wedge pressure instead of direct left atrial measurements. This tracing corresponds more to a simplified rendering of what would be expected in a wedge pressure tracing, vs. direct left atrial measurements. The fluctuation appears to be an exaggeration of the response to pulmonic valve closure. As discussed in the same chapter in Costanzo, on inspiration, the pulmonic valve closes after the aortic valve. This would correspond to splitting in the second heart sound and, at times, a brief blip in wedge pressure. It is not nearly so clear in an actual tracing, though.
If you look a little lower in the figure, you'll see the fluctuation you're interested in corresponds with the tail end of the second heart sound.

Almost wants to make me pack up my suits and move from San Francisco to NYC. This lovely young woman and yesterday’s equally lovely lady (with the marvelous hair) could teach their west cost sisters something about style. Wonderful, elegant, very sexy!
Lovely top. Love the colour. But is this it? Where’s the rest of her outfit? It seems a tad short…She must be extremely fit and has gorgeous legs. Great site by the way. (Makes me want to move to NY) Cheers!
I’m all for a bubble hem, but I believe this is a tunic top, not a dress… Unless, of course, she is wearing tan leggings (or is that fake bake? *shudder*) Yes, I’m going to suggest it: a pair of leggings (at least) or jeans, please.
She is simply ravishing. Stunning. Impeccably turned out. The sunlit hair, the gams (wow), the dress. She makes the color brown look like Spring.
If I’m not mistaken, the dress is by “Mason by Michelle Mason” (why not just call the company “Mason”? Jeesh?). I searched high and low for that dress for my wife, but couldn’t find it in her size. The one that caught my eye was the perfect shade of pea soup green.
For everyone posting critical comments I say “LIVE A LITTLE!” For how many years in one’s life would this dress be suitable? (which word is, to me, one of, if not the, most important words in fashion and design. If you’re too young for this dress, then you look slutty. If you’re too old for this dress, then you look ridiculous. There are a precious few years in one’s life where a dress like this is suitable. The dress is in no way vulgar or unsuitable. She’s certainly got the body (and how). It’s springtime in New York people! Winters are looooong. Not quite so bad as Montreal, but plenty long enough. Whether or not the dress is a top or, as I think, a dress matters not. I say she’s “spot on!” Brava!
I agree with anastasiac. I want to know what kind of shoe she went with for this look. Flat? Sandal? Wedge? Boot? The shoe would really determine the mood of the whole outfit…flirty, earthy, funky, etc.
I’m sorry, I know she is beautiful and sexy but that dress is too short for sreet wear. There is no margin for error – what if she has to reach for something or walk up some stairs in a crowded subway station?
It’s great as a cover up for a swimsuit on the beach but it’s not right for the city.
I think she looks fantastic. Her confidence – which is the biggest style element for anybody IMO – outshines the length of her dress. So it’s short, I wouldn’t get away with it, but if I had her confidence – and legs – I most certainly would be milking this dress for all it’s worth!
Also very keen to hear which shoes she wore with this, as yes, it could make or break. I’m thinking a small heel, but leather sandals would be brilliant.
i agree with the ppl saying live a little about the short hem…she looks good so if ppl r saying mean things then it might just means tht they cant pull off this short dress…they must be fatties from a small town….judging the hotties in the big city…i like it for their info…… |
Most Marketplace plans must provide breastfeeding equipment and counseling for pregnant and nursing women.
You may be able to get help with breastfeeding at no cost
Health insurance plans must provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment for the duration of breastfeeding. These services may be provided before and after birth.
This applies to Marketplace plans and all other health insurance plans, except for grandfathered plans.
Coverage of breast pumps
Your health insurance plan must cover the cost of a breast pump. It may be either a rental unit or a new one you’ll keep. Your plan may have guidelines on whether the covered pump is manual or electric, the length of the rental, and when you’ll receive it (before or after birth).
But it’s up to you and your doctor to decide what's right for you.
Your doctor’s breastfeeding recommendations
Your insurance plan will often follow your doctor’s recommendations on what’s medically appropriate. Some insurance plans may require pre-authorization from your doctor. Talk to your doctor to find out what this means for you. |

Leaving the European Union is already sending shockwaves through the economy. As an internationalist and pro-European I will do everything I can to find a way through this.
If this was simply to be a charade devised to build up grievance in Scotland to aid the campaign for independence, it would not have received our support. I will not be a pawn in a new campaign for independence.
However, I was given a guarantee from the First Minister that this was not the case and that she genuinely wanted this process to succeed. That is why we will lend our support to this process as it will need a cross-party effort to have the best chance of succeeding. |

[Role of heat shock proteins (Hsp) in human and mammalian fertilization and pregnancy. Part I].
The heat shock proteins (Hsp) are a family of highly-conservative multifunctional polypeptides which are found in all living organisms. Certain Hsp members are induced to synthesise as a response to cell stress, caused by change in the environment. Furthermore, Hsp are involved in apoptosis and serve as biomarker for cell damage. Hsp are expressed and play a role in the reproductive system of mammals. Different Hsp members have been detected in ovary and myometrium. There is a pattern of Hsp25 and Hsp70 expression in endometrium and fallopian tubes, which does not allow implantation in the tubes but provides endometrial receptivity for the blastocyst. There is marked difference in Hsp expression in the tubes of women with and without tubal pregnancy. Hsp members are also found in trophoblast and placenta. The expression remains unchanged in preterm and term placentas, but if altered, it may serve as a sign for placental pathology or preterm birth. |
The role of higher education in social mobility.
Most Americans expect the nation's colleges and universities to promote the goal of social mobility to make it possible for anyone with ability and motivation to succeed. But according to Robert Haveman and Timothy Smeeding, income-related gaps both in access to and in success in higher education are large and growing. In the top-tier colleges and universities, almost three-quarters of the entering class is from the highest socioeconomic quartile. The pool of qualified youth is far greater than the number admitted and enrolled; hence America's top colleges could enroll more moderate- and low-income students without lowering their selection standards. Higher-income parents make enormous efforts to ensure their children's academic success, while children of poor parents begin the "college education game" later and with fewer resources. Students in poor and minority neighborhoods are less well prepared academically; ill prepared to select colleges, apply for admission, and secure acceptance; and poorly informed about the cost of attending college and the availability of needs-based financial aid. Sharply rising college prices during the 1980s and 1990s, together with the growing inequality of family income, have raised the cost of attending college far more for low-income students than for well-to-do students. Financial aid has risen more slowly, and the share targeted on low-income students has been falling. The authors offer bold policy recommendations to increase educational opportunities for low- and middle-income students. These involve the development of financing structures that will increase access for students from lower-income families. Public institutions could price tuition close to real costs and use added revenues to provide direct student aid for students from low-income families. Federal subsidies to students who attend wealthy institutions could be capped, with the savings redirected to students attending less well-endowed schools, both public and private. Finally, federal and state governments could redirect to lower-income students the financial support they now provide colleges and universities. |
Ridduan Ismail, or known as TTFGA (Tukang Tangkap Foto Gembira Anda) to the online community may be known for his street-style photography, and probably named KL’s best by some.
While his photographs posted on Instagram are regarded with the epitome of professionalism, his attitude on the other hand, proves that he lacks any sense of the word.
This was due to an incident that unfolded recently on Instagram when "someone" who was not just anyone left a comment on one of his photos.
With little knowledge that Marina Mahathir was the face behind the Instagram account making a comment on the picture he captured of Zaihani Zain, TTFGA made uncalled for remarks in response to Marina’s query which caused her much confusion.
Marina received a rude response by simply asking the question: “Who is she? And what is that wonderful necklace?”
TTFGA’s rude responses can be seen below.
With a few exchanging correspondences, he finally realises who she is and deletes every single one of them, and apologises to Marina claiming he had no clue it was “her”.
Marina was quick to snub and respond, “As a matter of principle, you should not be rude to anyone, regardless of who they are.”
Well, I guess a real life lesson is learned here for TTFGA who has now put his own fame to shame. |

Everyone now knows that Biff Tannen in Back to the Future Part II was inspired by Donald Trump, which is cool. But actually, focusing on the increasingly overwhelming parallels between the Trumps and the Bluth family from Arrested Development is pretty much the only way this faction of Lost in Showbiz is going to get through the next three years. After all, the Bluths have as their patriarch a dodgy property developer who does shady deals with international figures and causes chaos in the Middle East, and the family itself is made up of three morally corrupt sons and one blonde morally corrupt daughter. Give it up, Jonathan Franzen, there’s no need to write the Great American Novel. An artistic endeavour that truly captures the American zeitgeist already exists and it is called Arrested Development (series one to three).
I used to think the most obvious overlap between the show and reality was the bullying, priapic and corrupt patresfamilias, George Bluth and Big Don. (Although I am crossing all digits that Jared Kushner, the perma-present son-in-law, will one day live his truth and join the Blue Man Group, where he belongs.) But it has become increasingly clear that the real parallel is between Gob and Don Jr, the oldest and most moronic children, still desperate for Daddy’s approval even though their 30th birthdays are but a distant memory. Although to be fair, not even Gob was so pathetic as to dress AS HIS FATHER for Halloween, as Donnie did this year. Gob looks at Donnie and thinks, “Come on, man, have some dignity.”
This week lil’ Donny took his Gob-ian tendencies to the next level when it emerged that he cited “attorney-client privilege” to avoid divulging to lawmakers a conversation he had with his father, apparently unaware that, a) he is not a lawyer, and b) neither is his father. Not even the Bluth’s family lawyer, Barry Zuckerkorn, would have tried a trick so jawdroppingly inept. Sorry, not a trick. As Gob himself would say, it was an illusion – a trick is something a whore does for money. And the Trump family wouldn’t know anything about that, of course. |
Police denies arrest of Nasarawa Attorney General
The police in Nasarawa State on Friday dismissed reports of the arrest of the state’s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Alhaji Mohammed Abdullahi, over an alleged possession of arms and ammunition.
The denial is contained in a statement signed by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Michael Ada.
The statement said the story of the arrest of Abdullahi was false, malicious and mischievous.
“The report is intended not only to smear the name of the Nasarawa State Attorney-General, but also to cause disaffection between the police and the Ministry of Justice,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted the command as saying in the statement.
It further urged the people not to use ICT as a means of destroying other person’s reputation or cause disaffection among the citizenry, but to apply it towards the development of the society. |
The Movement of Cerebrospinal Fluid and Its Relationship with Substances Behavior in Cerebrospinal and Interstitial Fluid.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) movement and its influence on substance distribution and elimination from the CSF system have been thoroughly analyzed and discussed in the light of the new hypothesis of CSF physiology. As a result, CSF movement is not presented as a circulation, but a permanent rhythmic systolic-diastolic pulsation in all directions. Such movement also represents the main force of substance distribution inside the CSF system. This distribution occurs in all directions, i.e., in the direction of the imagined circulation, as well as in the opposite direction, and depends on the application site and the resident time of tested substance, where longer resident time means longer distribution distance. Transport mechanisms situated on the microvessels inside the central nervous system (CNS) parenchyma play the key role in substance elimination from the CSF and interstitial fluid (ISF) compartments, which freely communicate. If a certain transport mechanism is not available at one site, the substance will be distributed by CSF movement along the CSF system and into the CNS region where that transport mechanism is available. Pharmacological manipulation suggests that the residence time and the substance travel distance along the CSF system depend on the capacity of transport mechanisms situated on CNS blood capillaries. Physiological absorption of the CSF into the venous sinuses and/or lymphatics, due to their small surface area, should be of minor importance in comparison with the huge absorptive surface area of the microvessel network. |
New Hair Bleach is Environmentally Friendly: “Green” Lightening Product Made from Enzymes
Researchers from Japan have developed an environmentally friendly hair bleach that can lighten hair on the head and other areas of the body without the damaging effects associated with the use of products that contain hydrogen peroxide.
New “Green” Hair Bleach
Information about what may be the world’s first environmentally friendly hair bleach was released at the 237th Annual Meeting of the American Chemical Society. The meeting is being held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The new hair bleaching agent comes from an enzyme from a strain of Basidiomyceteceriporiopsis, a type of fungus that is used to break down and clean up pollutants found in soil. Scientists discovered that this enzyme also degrades melanin, the pigment that gives hair a dark color. They believe it is the first enzyme ever found to have this characteristic.
The enzyme also is an antioxidant, which means it can fight free radicals produced by hydrogen peroxide and the damage they cause. This is important because although the enzyme is safe and effective in bleaching melanin, it needs a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to complete its chemical reaction.
Researchers are working on incorporating the enzyme into traditional hair bleaches that contain hydrogen peroxide and setting up trials on humans. Although these new hair bleach products will contain some hydrogen peroxide, the addition of the enzyme will significantly reduce the amount of the harsh chemical needed and will also make the hair bleach more effective and convenient to use.
Scientists are still uncertain how the enzyme affects melanin. They believe it breaks down the pigment through oxidation, but the exact mechanism is still unknown. This information may help researchers improve the end product even further. It is also uncertain when the new environmentally friendly hair bleach product will be available for consumers.
Traditional Hair Bleach
Traditional hair bleach, which uses hydrogen peroxide, bleaches hair by oxidizing, or breaking down, melanin. As hair grows, the new growth is dark and, if the individual wants the hair to be lighter, he or she needs to bleach the hair again, typically every two to three months. Repeatedly bleaching the hair eventually causes damage from the hydrogen peroxide, leaving hair brittle, dull, lifeless, and hard to manage.
Hydrogen peroxide also can irritate the scalp and other parts of the body. Women who use hydrogen peroxide to bleach hair on their face, especially above the lip, can experience redness, dry skin, burning, and even blisters. |
We tend to associate the Kales with Autumn and Winter, and most Kales are
at their best in cooler weather. However, Couve Tronchuda ('Tronchuda',
here), or Portuguese Kale, is coming to market now in peak form. This
variety of Kale is less cold-tolerant than its near relations the Cabbages
and other Kales, but, locally at least, it can be planted to come into
production in mid-Spring, when the other Kales are getting a bit seedy.
The morphology of the Kales varies considerably from one variety to another
- we need only compare Lacinato to Scots Kale. Couve Tronchuda looks at
first glance a lot like Collards. But the Tronchuda leaf is rounder
paddle shaped Collard and Tronchuda is a slightly bluish-green, while
Collards tend more toward yellowish-green. And the ribs, or main veins of
Tronchuda are quite prominent, giving it the varietal name 'costata'
or 'ribbed'. One
source describes Tronchuda as transitional between the Kales and
Cabbage, and this is a useful description. Tronchuda produces separate
leaves along a heavy stalk, like other Kales, but the leaves themselves are
structurally and in color quite like the outer leaves of a green Cabbage,
flattened out.
The similarity carries over to taste and texture. Tronchuda produces a
much fleshier leaf than the other Kales, with a relatively thick blade and
heavy veins or stalks which are tender enough to be easily edible - like
those of Cabbage rather than the Kales. The flavor of Tronchuda falls
somewhere between that of a Kale like Scots or Russian and that of Cabbage,
with some of the asperity of the former and less of the mustard or sulphur
sometimes found in Cabbage.
The 'traditional' use for Tronchuda (search "portuguese kale") is in a soup
with beans and sausage, where, like the other Kales, the sturdy leaf holds
up under prolonged cooking and provides flavor to the broth and color and
texture to the soup. But it's easy to think of other uses. Earlier
columns have suggested using the Kales with pasta. The heavier leaf of
Tronchuda gives it body similar to that of the chunkier pastas, so that it
can play a similar structural role to the pasta in a mixed dish, rather
than acting as a topping, as in this recipe which combines
Tronchuda, penne, diced potato, a couple of kinds of cheese, tomato puree
and mortadella sausage (made into tiny meatballs). The Tronchuda is washed
and dried, then sauteed in oil, with the potato, tomato and garlic for
about twenty minutes. This makes the base of the 'sauce', for the pasta and
Mortadella balls, if you use them. And Tronchuda could be substituted for
cabbage in most cooked dishes.
The roundish, flexible but sturdy Tronchuda leaf is perfectly suited to
'wrapping', taking the place of a pita bread or tortilla. We suggest
blanching first, to aid digestibility, unless you're going to fill the
leaves and then cook filling and leaf together. |
Most adults have small, tender, damaged areas inside muscles called trigger points. They are the size of a pencil eraser and feel like a knot when you press on them. They can be in any muscle, including the neck, jaw, back, shoulder, hip, arm and leg muscles. Trigger points are caused by injury or overusing a muscle.
A doctor performs trigger point injections by injecting into the trigger point. The fluid injected can be sterile saline, lidocaine, steroid or herbal anti-inflammatory such as Trameel. Trigger points have scar tissue inside them that prevents healthy blood flow. The fluid breaks up the knot so that the muscle will relax and normal blood flow can return to the area. Often, the patient will feel a muscle ‘release’ as when the knot is injected.
Trigger point injections are safe and often covered by insurance. They can provide significant relief for many pain syndromes. In our clinic, we also perform trigger point release with pressure or “dry needling” in which we needle the trigger point to release the knot, but do not inject fluid. |

To me the important feature of DBC is that the class's interface, as
perceived by the programmers that invoke it or that edit its source
code, is more richly expressed.
The actual run-time checking of those constraints is not as important
as the fact that the design is communicated explicitly among
programmers.
For E to be strictly better than Eiffel in this regard, it would need
to have standard conventions for DBC that all E programmers learned,
and a standard tool that extracted the interface and included the DBC
constructs.

Q:
GridView exceding memory budget
I'm following that example for creating a image gallery.For avoiding memory crash when loading a high number of images I have resized the images to the cell size using BitmapFactory.
But the problem still there when trying to load higher images or using a phone with less heap size. So i'm trying to detect when a image is visible and when it is not longer visible for reload/free the bitmap.
I detect when a cell becomes visible with
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
}
But I dont know how to detect when a View goes out of the scroll. Can you help me?
Thanks!
A:
i think here you can use the concept of "lazy list", its jst load image once and store in cache and dnt reload again and again, so just google it example were given search keyword "lazy list"

The proposed research develops computer methodology for application to problems in the neurosciences. The areas of computer methodology include: data acquisition, signal analysis, interactive graphics, and cooperative computer systems. Applications are in support of research in basic neurophysiology and clinical neurology. Analytical and computational techniques suitable for the study of both multivariable continuous and point-process physiological data will be developed to study the relationships among spike trains of discharging neurons; long-term periodicities in autonomic and central nervous system variables in sleep; interrelationships among physiological variables across sleep states; evoked responses in the human EEG, particularly in vestibular and somatosensory systems. Further development of software for a cooperative computer system, consisting of a laboratory computer, an interactive graphics terminal, and a large time-shared computer is proposed. The use of interactive graphics as a tool for modeling, simulation, analysis, and information retrieval will be pursued. This system will be used to develop a computer-graphics method for displaying brain cross-sections, for use during human stereotaxic surgery. It will also be used for testing neuronal models against experimental data, using modeling, simulation and identification techniques. The application of microprocessors for the acquisition and analysis of neurophysiological signals will be investigated. |
Comparison of simultaneous measurements of blood pressure by tail-cuff and carotid arterial methods in conscious spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar-Kyoto rats.
We determined the validity of systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured by tail-cuff blood pressure (TCBP) with direct intra-arterial measurements. In conscious, restrained Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), carotid artery (CA) BP and TCBP were simultaneously measured. In both WKY and SHR strains, highly significant correlations between CABP and TCBP were found and Bland-Altman analyses showed no bias when the two methods were compared. The limits of agreement between CABP and TCBP in WKY and SHR were wide and reproducibility of pressure measurements by either technique was poor, with some evidence for strain-dependent differences. Pressure measurements made over short time frames, however, showed close agreement between CABP and TCBP. Acetylcholine-induced reductions in pressure were equivalently detected by tail-cuff and direct arterial measurement in both strains but angiotensin II-induced pressure elevations were over-estimated by tail-cuff in SHR. Telemetered SBP measurements in conscious rats were highly variable in a strain-dependent manner. |

Q:
How to print only certain block of content in a view
I have a view that displays shipping details that you print and put on a box before shipping. But using Print module when you click the link it gives entire page to print with all the headers, footers and menus. I need only that block of text rendered by a view.
Also I couldn't make the Print module link appear in a view even though it claims it works, so I had to use View Footer Area and add some PHP to make link work.
<?php $current_url = getenv('REQUEST_URI'); ?>
<img src='/sites/all/modules/print/icons/print_icon.png'>
<a href='/print<?php print $current_url; ?>'>Print</a>
But like I said it prints entire page and I need only view content.
A:
I would look at this as most a front-end styling problem. Basically, you need to add print-only style rules that hide all the page elements you don't need. You can do this via an inline media query:
<style>
@media print {
/* @TODO: Add other selectors that remove page elements
header, footer, .my-custom-class, #my-custom-id {
display: none;
}
}
</style>
Or a better, more portable, method is to just attach a custom print CSS stylesheet to whatever view that needs to be altered for printing:
drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('theme', 'MYTHEME').'/css/print-page.css', array('media' => 'print'));

Insert external XML file into templavoila DS?
How one can insert/load external XML files into Templavoila static data structure? I have a lot of stuff for each field, mainly TypoScript settings, which can be generated outside. I want insert them into static DS...
A:
I doubt if it's possible at all (but must to say, that didn't try it never), anyway maybe better option is mapping fields as a path to the TypoScript object - and then you can easily divide it to smaller TypoScript templates and additionally externalize templates into *.ts files.

Q:
Setting the TabIndex property of many form controls in Visual Studio?
What is the most efficient way to set/re-order the TabIndex properties of many form controls in Visual Studio? When I change the layout on a large form, or even on initial design, I often wonder if there's a faster way than clicking each individual control then setting the TabIndex in the properties window.
A:
While in Designer mode, select Tab Order from the View menu then click on each control in the order you want. Then remember to turn off Tab Order when you're finished, otherwise when you select a control to do something else you lose the work you've just done (I wish Tab Order would turn off when you Save..)
A:
Bring up the Form in design mode.
Click the View Menu -> Tab Order
Then a little number will show up on each form representing its tab order. Now click each item in order that you want their tab order set.
A:
To bring up the tab order in VS2012 while in Design View Click on the actual form then goto VIEW / TAB ORDER then this will enable the tab order window.
once you have finished changing the tab order go back to VIEW / TAB ORDER this will deactivate the tab order layout

Manganese-doped highly ordered mesoporous silicate with high efficiency for oxidation suppression.
Herein, we demonstrate a facile approach to manganese-doped highly ordered mesoporous silicate with oxidation-suppression function. As biocompatible supports of guest ions, the ordered mesoporous silicate was synthesized by evaporation-induced self-assembly. The phase-transition from disordered to lamellar structures in the highly ordered mesoporous structure of these porosity-tuned materials was controlled by adjusting the concentration of a lab-made polystyrene-b-polyethylene oxide copolymer. Manganese was successfully incorporated as a guest in the hexagonally packed mesoporous silicate by using an ultrasound-assisted technique. The incorporation of manganese ions into the pores of a mesoporous silicate support could be induced for host-guest functional applications. Manganese-doped mesoporous silicate structures have been examined for their use as antioxidizing agents by electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements and radical-scavenging tests. The manganese atoms in the mesoporous structures could act in a free-radical-scavenging capacity, much like manganese nanoparticles. The high efficiency of their oxidation-suppression function is extended for application to catalytic products. |
How to Create a Custom Address in Facebook Group
All Facebook groups by default have an address. However at the end there is a long number at the end which makes it difficult to remember. You can set the own group’s address which can be accessed by everyone easily.
An example is given below on how the group address of Facebook looks. It is not possible to remember the link and you would not be able to access it without any exact link.
The custom link is readable as well as can be remembered easily.
You can set the group’s custom address:
You should be the group’s admin to set link.
You can log in to your Facebook account and choose the group for which you want to set a custom URL on the left side of the page. Several groups are hidden by default in order to keep the list organized. You might have to hover the mouse over group area as well as click more button if you want to see all the groups.
Now when you are in the group click gear icon at top right of the window and choose edit group settings from menu.
You can find group address option in the Group Settings page and click on the Set Up Group Address button. You are setting up an email address for your group; the name of email would be used in the web address for group.
You can enter the desired group name in the field. Try to keep the name short as well as related to the group. Other people can remember address easily. When done click ‘set address button’. You just note that you can set the address once. Just be careful with choice. Once it is set you cannot change the name.
The Facebook group email would be in the format: your-custom-name@groups.facebook.com. The email which has been sent to this address would reach all group members.
The group address would be in the following format: facebook.com/groups/your-custom-name. This address can be sent to everyone and the group can be reached from any browser. |

Unraveling Base Stacking Driving Forces in DNA.
Base stacking is a key determinant of nucleic acid structures, but the precise origin of the thermodynamic driving force behind the stacking of nucleobases remains open. The rather mild stacking free energy measured experimentally, roughly a kcal/mol depending on the identity of the bases, is physiologically significant because while base stacking confers stability to the genome in its double helix form, the duplex also has to be unwound in order to be replicated or transcribed. A stacking free energy that is either too high or too low will over- or understabilize the genome, impacting the storage of genetic information and also its retrieval. While the molecular origin of stacking driving force has been attributed to many different sources including dispersion, electrostatics, and solvent hydrogen bonding, here we show via a systematic decomposition of the stacking free energy using large-scale computer simulations that the dominant driving force stabilizing base stacking is nonhydrophobic solvent entropy. Counteracting this is the conformational entropic penalty on the sugar-phosphate backbone against stacking, while solvent hydrogen-bonding, charge-charge interactions, and dispersive forces produce only secondary perturbations. Solvent entropic forces and DNA backbone conformational strains therefore work against each other, leading to a very mild composite stacking free energy in agreement with experiments. |
Not so fast. A low testosterone level by itself doesn't need treatment. Testosterone replacement therapy can have side effects, and the long-term risks and benefits aren't known. Only men with symptoms of low testosterone and blood levels that confirm this as the cause of symptoms should consider testosterone replacement. Talking with your doctor is the only way to know if testosterone therapy is right for you.
Recommended Related to Men
Men rarely see Thomas J. Weida, MD, for medical tests without prodding from a wife or girlfriend. When they do show up, Weida jokes that he “can see the drag marks on the carpet.”
It’s amusing, of course. But it can quickly turn serious when a man ignores important symptoms. Weida says he knows of men who got away with ignoring chest pain for a couple of weeks. Eventually, though, they died of heart attacks.
Subtle Symptoms of Low Testosterone
The symptoms of low testosterone are sometimes obvious, but they also can be subtle. Testosterone levels decline naturally in men as they age over decades, and symptoms may appear slowly. Low testosterone symptoms include:
If a man has symptoms of low testosterone and tests show he has a low testosterone level, a doctor may suggest treatment. For millions of men who have low testosterone levels but no symptoms, no treatment is currently recommended.
Forms of Testosterone Supplements
Testosterone replacement therapy is available in several forms. All can improve testosterone levels:
Skin patch (transdermal): Androderm is a skin patch worn on the arm or upper body. It's applied once a day.
Gels: AndroGel and Testim come in packets of clear testosterone gel. Testosterone is absorbed directly through the skin when you apply the gel once a day. AndroGel, Axiron, and Fortesta also come in a pump that delivers the amount of testosterone prescribed by your doctor. Natesto is a gel applied inside the nose.
Mouth patch:Striant is a tablet that sticks to the upper gums above the incisor, the tooth just to the right or left of the two front teeth. Applied twice a day, it continuously releases testosterone into the blood through the oral tissues.
Injections and implants: Testosterone can also be injected directly into the muscles, or implanted as pellets in the soft tissues. Your body slowly absorbs the testosterone into the bloodstream.
Why not a simple testosterone pill? Oral testosterone is available. However, some experts believe oral testosterone can have negative effects on the liver. Using other methods, such as skin patches, gels, orally disintegrating tablets, or injections, bypasses the liver and gets testosterone into the blood directly. |
Concrete walls are presently being prefabricated as a way to avoid the time consuming and labor intensive process of building walls with cinder blocks or pouring concrete at a construction site. By use of prefabricated concrete walls, the construction of a wall at the construction site is no longer linked to the amount of manpower available because the labor involves only installation of the previously manufactured wall. Additionally, the cost of the wall is relatively unrelated to the size of the wall.
Generally, the manufacture of a prefabricated concrete wall involves use of a casting bed that includes a set of channel members oriented in a horizontal plane. The channels are arranged in parallel, and the channels include precut notches on their innermost walls. These notches are used to support previously manufactured concrete studs which are set in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the parallel channels. A typical spacing for the notches is two feet center to center.
The channel members and frame sides joining the ends of the channel members are constructed so that the peripheral edges of the grid formed by the studs and the channels, that is, the edges forming an outside rectangle, are higher than all the other members by approximately four inches to form a frame around the entire structure. The parallel channel members which form the support for the concrete studs include cavities of considerable volume which are eventually filled with concrete to encase the ends of the concrete studs which are set into the notches in the channels with the ends of the studs extending into the cavities.
Before concrete is poured into the casting bed, sheet insulation is laid over the concrete studs and impaled upon fasteners cast into and protruding from the concrete studs, and wire reinforcing mesh is laid atop the sheet insulation, but the sheet insulation is sized so that it does not cover the cavities of the channel members.
The wall is then completed by pouring concrete into the casting bed so that it covers the insulation, the wire mesh, and fasteners protruding through the insulation, and fills the cavities in the channel members. The concrete is poured to the height of the top of the outer frame members, and once hardened, not only forms an integral exterior surface, but also bonds together the studs, the insulation, and the top and bottom support beams which are formed in the channel members. The final step of manufacture includes lifting the hardened concrete wall from the casting bed.
This method of making a concrete wall structure is undesirable though due to the length of time required for construction and low insulating values. While sheet insulation is laid over the concrete studs, this relatively thin layer of insulation does not offer adequate insulation properties. Additionally, the wire mesh does increased structural strength of the concrete wall, however, a rebar support member or the like would add even greater structural strength. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an improved method for making a concrete wall that is quicker to manufacture and has increased insulation properties and increased structural integrity. |
Q:
Regex as a command line arg for filtering lines with a particular value
I want to be able to take an argument from the command line and use it as a regular expression within my script to filter lines from my file. A simple example
$ perl script.pl id_4
In script.pl:
...
my $exp = shift;
while(my $line = <$fh){
if($line =~ /$exp/){
print $line,"\n";
}
}
...
My actual script is a bit more complicated and does other manipulations to the line to extract information and produce a different output. My problem is that I have situations where I want to filter out every line that contains "id_4" instead of only select lines containing "id_4". Normally this could be achieved by
if($line !~ /$exp/)
but, if possible, I don't want to alter my script to accept a more complex set of arguments (e.g. use !~ if second parameter is "ne", and =~ if not).
Can anyone think of a regex that I can use (beside a long "id_1|id_2|id_3|id_5...") to filter out lines containing one particular value out of many possibilities? I fear I'm asking for the daft here, and should probably just stick to the sensible and accept a further argument :/.
A:
Why choose? Have both.
my $exp = join "|", grep !/^!/, @ARGV;
my @not = grep /^!/, @ARGV;
s/^!// for @not;
my $exp_not = join "|", @not;
...
if (( $line =~ $exp ) && ( $line !~ $exp_not )) {
# do stuff
}
Usage:
perl script.pl orange soda !light !diet

Extracellular matrix (ECM) protein coated surfaces have been widely used in cell culture. In particular, fibronectin is a commonly used ECM protein used in cell culture that supports cell attachment. ECM proteins used for coating surfaces for cell culture are generally of human or other animal origin and often poorly defined. The use of such ECM proteins can be problematic, for example, in human therapeutic applications where having a defined and animal-free culture is desirable. Thus, there is a need for better defined and animal-component free surfaces that support cell attachment for cell culture. |

Following command sudo tar jcf /datos/backup/news/news.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/news news is giving "tar: Cann't stat: No such file or directory" error.
How can I solve this problem?
As it had been answered in my previous question I am using -C option in order to skip leading directories. It was working in one Ubuntu server and now in my Ubuntu Desktop it is giving that error message.
A:
If you are using -C that means you are changing directory there. Hence, if you want to tar a directory named news in /var/www you must use:

I’ll openly admit, I was never that big a fain of the animated Jungle Book movie. I like the premise, and there’s some great animation and neat songs but I thought that Disney’s execution of it was a bit too juvenile. But for some reason, this remake looked really good. All of the trailers for this were just incredible, and the all-star cast they had gathered seemed awfully impressive.
Let me start out by saying this: This is one of those ‘experience’ movies. If you have any intention of seeing this, I strongly recommend NOT waiting for the DVD. The story, just on it’s own, is fairly standard and straightforward, but the look and feel of the movie is just spellbinding.
I’m calling it right now, this film will win the Best Visual Effects Oscar. The visuals in this movie are absolutely outstanding. Not only does everything look real, but it also retains the same feeling as classic Disney animation. I’ve always liked Jon Favreau as a director, and he really steps up his game for this one, essentially transporting his audience inside a Disney movie.
And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want that?
It has a great cast, great sound design, cinematography… all that jazz. It’s all pretty darn spectacular. The only thing that’s weak is the story. But that doesn’t really matter to me, much like the story doesn’t really matter in a dark ride at an amusement park. It’s not the main focus.
The rating is tough for me. If you see it in IMAX 3D, it’s probably a five-star experience. If you wait to see it on DVD, then it’s more like four stars. So I’ll split the difference. |

The 2nd Amendment isn’t about individuals owning whatever guns they want, but it’s also not about the general population being equipped to overpower the Federal government. They were revolutionary, but they weren’t nuts; nobody’s going to write permission for violent overthrow into their Constitution.
The 2nd Amendment assures people that state militias, and any army raised by Congress, will be composed of Americans, not foreign mercenaries. That’s why it’s right next to the 3rd Amendment, which assures people they won’t have a bunch of soldiers taking over their houses.

From the moment Donald J. Trump was sworn into office, the liberal left has responded to the world-historical achievements of his presidency with a mixture of awe and jealousy. In the public sphere, however, these understandable human emotions have all too often manifested themselves as blind rage and an impassioned obsession with Robert Mueller's so-called "collusion" Witch Hunt.
According to NPR, this Mueller Mania is particularly prevalent among libs who are elderly and/or infirm:
Expectations among Democrats are sky-high as reports have emerged about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation coming to an end. In fact, expectations are so intense among some elderly, ill critics of the president that they say they want to try to hang on to see how the story all turns out.
Just as it is important to know how to discuss politics with your brainwashed lib family members at Thanksgiving, all Americans should be equipped to deal with aging, sickly relatives anxiously awaiting (most likely in vain) the results of Mueller's investigation.
For example, here is a sample New York Times front page you could bring to the hospital if things take a turn for the worse.
If they ask for details, just tell them the Supreme Court began drafting the Articles of Treason after Trump's tax returns revealed that he personally financed the annexation of Crimea. Every single Republican Senator has already voiced support for impeachment — save for Marco Rubio, who remains undecided. After the United Nations voted to establish international domain over the United States, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was able to cite the Venezuelan Constitution and declare herself the lawful president. The Green New Deal is enacted hours later.
If they decide to stick around for more good news, here's another front page sure to put a smile on the patient's face.
Yes, that's right. History was made, sort of. Chief Justice Merrick Garland swore in Hillary Clinton as the second female president in history. Pelosi had selected Clinton as vice president to "own the cons," but refused to resign until Clinton's private security forces apprehended her en route to the White House. Pelosi remains unaccounted for. House Democrats immediately elected Ilhan Omar as her replacement.
Feeling better, are we? Now show them this…
Enough said.
You should be aware, of course, that your loved one's lib tendencies, combined with old age and/or proximity to death, could make them targets for a variety of Mueller-themed scams.
It's probably best to keep their television turned off. Tell them Trump did it. |

Dendritic-cell tumor vaccines.
Most cancers remain incurable. Introduction of novel therapeutic methods, including new cytostatic regimens and targeted therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, have increased remission rates as well as improved patient survival, but the ability to cure many cancer patients remains elusive. It is thus necessary to further develop alternative strategies to improve patient prognosis. The majority of patients who respond to induction therapy inevitably relapse, mainly because of the proliferation of residual malignant cells that have escaped control by induction chemotherapy. Therefore the eradication of minimal residual disease may be crucial to prevent a relapse and achieve a long-term remission. It seems that an advantageous treatment option may be cellular immunotherapy with dendritic-cell vaccines which might induce long-term specific anticancer responses with immune memory cells, which could contribute to effective and lasting elimination of malignant cells. |
Q:
Programmatically loading all colors from res/color
The question says it all.
Is there an opportunity to programmatically load all Colors from res/color into an Array?
If you got at least the ApplicationContext it's possible to load one color for example like this:
context.getResources().getColor(R.color.MyColor);
But i want to load all into an Array.
A:
This will iterate over all color references and load the actual colors to a sparse array
SparseIntArray colors = new SparseIntArray();
Field[] refs = R.color.class.getFields(); //your R
for (Field f : refs) {
try {
int ref = f.getInt(null);
int color = getApplicationContext().getResources().getColor(ref);
colors.put(ref, color);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Suppose you have a color named my_color, you'd get it like this:
int color = colors.get(R.color.my_color);
Credit for an idea goes to @snachmsm.
Note: Run a test to see how much computing time you actually save using this method, you should not use reflection if you can avoid it.

Q:
Dockerized MySql slower in Wifi than ethernet
When I try to connect to a MySQL server that runs in a docker container(in System A) through my application(Running in system B) via wifi, it takes at least 4X amount of time than it would when both systems are connected via ethernet. I tried adding skip-name-resolve in my.cnf and mysqld.cnf but in vain. I cannot find where the problem is and how the same can be solved!
I am attaching the dockerfile below. Thanks
Dockerfile
A:
your mysql server running on system A and if you are trying to make connection vai wifi or sending request to make connection on mysql it is mya possible reason should be latency in network. if both system is different and you have exposed you mysql to internet then also it may happen.

Google chairman Eric Schmidt is on stage now at The New York Times Dealbook Conference and just had a few details to share about the Google Fiber broadband initiative. Despite the fact that the service is only available in Kansas City right now, Schmidt said that it wasn't "just an experiment, it's a real business and we're trying to decide where to expand next." Unfortunately no more details were forthcoming, but for those of us looking at the speeds Google Fiber users get with extreme envy, there's some hope that we may some day get to share in the extreme speed.
Schmidt also took advantage of a question from the audience to spell out Google's stance on the ITU proposals that could give the UN greater power in regulating the internet. "If the current proposals in the ITU go through, we're in big trouble globally," Schmidt said. Of course, Google has made its stance on the ITU very clear — Google's chairman appears to just be keeping up with the party line here. |

Festival Cooking Series: Srijayanthi (janmashtami) Deadline extended
We’ve started a new series of events on Festival Cooking. We’re a family that loves festivities – no we dont have grandiose celebrations neither do we indulge in sweets like we’ve never tasted sugar before.
But festivals give us the opportunity to celebrate the lovely little things in our culture, bond with neighbours and friends, wake up to white rice flour patterns on baked red earth (or even kolam on mosaic or tar road) , drown in the smell of camphor, be mesmerised by the golden glow of sesame oil lit lamps, sink our teeth into delicious goodies and end meals with a classic natural digestive or some such remedy for all the feasting😀
Festivals are born out of human beings’ need to congregate and escape from the routine of life for a while. Most importantly without doubt one is left with a clean fresh home at the end of festivals because the preparations call for cleaning.
We’re hosting the first of the series here – starting with Srijayanthi that is on September 4th. Thanks to the logical arguments of our fellow food bloggers – we’ve postponed the deadline to submit entries to September 10th.

As the value and use of information continues to increase, individuals and businesses seek additional ways to process and store information. One option available to users is information handling systems. An information handling system generally processes, compiles, stores, and/or communicates information or data for business, personal, or other purposes, thereby allowing users to take advantage of the value of the information. Because technology and information handling needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information handling systems may also vary regarding what information is handled, how the information is handled, how much information is processed, stored, or communicated, and how quickly and efficiently the information may be processed, stored, or communicated. The variations in information handling systems allow for information handling systems to be general or configured for a specific user or specific use such as financial transaction processing, airline reservations, enterprise data storage, or global communications. In addition, information handling systems may include a variety of hardware and software components that may be configured to process, store, and communicate information and may include one or more computer systems, data storage systems, and networking systems.
For instance, an information handling system may include multiple, interconnected data processing systems, such as personal computers, rack servers, blade servers, etc. Such an information handling system may be referred to as a collocated computer installation. An apparatus known in general as a keyboard, video, and mouse. (KVM) switch may be used to manage the data processing systems within a conventional collocated computer installation. For instance, a KVM switch may be used to selectively link a single set of input/output (I/O) devices (e.g., a keyboard, a mouse, and a display device) to a desired data processing system within the collocated computer installation.
In a conventional data processing system, the communications between the components on the motherboard and the attached peripheral devices are not secured. Likewise, in a conventional collocated computer installation, the communications between the I/O devices and the data processing systems are not secured. |
