Attentional bias for negative information, i.e. difficulties in disengagement from negative stimuli, is considered to be one of the core mechanisms involved in the onset and maintenance of depression. However, current attention training procedures aimed at reducing this bias have shown limited success. In addition to the reliability and validity concerns generated by the use of dot-probe paradigm in these procedures, an important factor is the limited consideration of motivational influences in the use of attention training. Therefore, in the current study we examined whether

And id like to convert it to an object with the timestamps as the keys, and arrays of objects corresponding to that date. If that key already exists, then add the object to the corresponding array associated with that key { 1541482236000: [{ "id": "-LP9_kAbqnsQwXq0oGDT", "value": Object { "date": 1541482236000, "title": "First", }, }, { "id": "-LP9_kAbqnsQwXqZZZZ", "value": Object { "date": 1541482236000, "title": "Some other title", }, }, .... more objects here ], 1541482236001: [{ "id": "-LP9_kAbqnsQ1234", "value": Object { "date": 1541482236001, "title": "Another title", }, }, .... more objects here ] } I was able to achieve something similar using reduce. However it does not handle adding objects to the array when their key already exists. calendarReminders = action.value.reduce((obj, reminder) => { dateKey = moment(reminder.value.date).format('YYYY-MM-DD') obj[dateKey] = [reminder] return obj; }, {}); How can I do this? A: You just need to check whether the object is already a key and if not add it with the value of an array. Then you can just push() into it: let arr = [{"id": "-LP9_kAbqnsQwXq0oGDT","value": {"date": 1541482236000,"title": "First",},},{"id": "SomID","value": {"date": 1541482236000,"title": "Some other title",},},{"id": "A different ID","value": {"date": 1541482236001,"title": "A third title",},}] let calendarReminders = arr.reduce((obj, reminder) => {

In the power steering systems of automobiles, solid particles developed through wear of the system parts are present in the fluid causing contamination, increased friction and raised fluid temperatures. These particles also increase deterioration of the hoses and seals. Therefore, it is desirable to refine the power steering fluid by filtering such particles. Presently, there are known filters which employ a paper filtering element together with a relief valve made of a combination spring, valve disc and seat arrangement. Such known filter devices are generally complex, involving the spring and valve seat arrangement, and therefore are expensive to manufacture. Also, such known filter devices are often not reliable due to the spring arrangement employed. There are other known types of filter devices being used in automobiles which are less expensive than the above-noted power steering filter devices but which are not suitable for the same purpose of filtering the fine particles existent in power steering systems and, consequently, such known filters also do not provide adequate and reliable relief valve means in the filter. Examples of such filters devices are the floating oil screens used in the oil sumps of engines as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,192,432 to Gulick, U.S. Pat. No. 2,508,952 to Kline and U.S. Pat. No. 3,662,887 to Uhlhorn, Jr. Such patents disclose devices mounted or floating in the oil sump of an internal combustion engine to prevent sludge and the like from entering the oil pump. When the screen becomes badly clogged with foreign matter, the suction pull on the screen will open a valve formed by a portion of the screening element and a wall portion to allow oil flow without screening. In such known oil sludge filter devices, the wire screen element is intended for filtering out relatively large particles and sludge and is inappropriate for filtering fine particles, even if the screened mesh openings were made smaller. The screen material is highly flexible and subject to random deformation and, therefore, the screen valve may easily open under unintended variable and minor conditions not due to clogging, such as slight variations in suction pressure and very small build ups of heavy sludge against the very flexible screen causing a suction sufficient to move the screen valve into an open position. Also, the non-rigid nature of the screen material affords it no spring force to return it to its original closed position once the minor suction fluctuation is reduced to normal. This absence of rigidity, or memory, could result in the screen valve opening and remaining open even after the minor suction fluctuation is removed. This

The following theorem, whose proof is essentially due to B. Weiss [@weiss2001], shows that the class of groups admitting computable normal F[ø]{}lner monotilings is closed under group extensions. \[thm.weiss\] Let $$1 \to (E,\imath_E) \overset{\id}{\to} (F,\imath_F) \overset{\psi}{\to} (G,\imath_G) \to 1$$ be an exact sequence of computable groups such that $\id, \psi$ are computable homomorphisms. Suppose that $([E_k,\calQ_k])_{k \geq 1}, ([G_m,\calS_m])_{m \geq 1}$ are computable normal F[ø]{}lner monotilings of the groups $(E,\imath_E)$ and $(G,\imath_G)$ respectively. Then there is a computable normal F[ø]{}lner monotiling $([F_l,\calR_l])_{l \geq 1}$ in the group $(F,\imath_F)$. We begin by describing an auxiliary construction that provides us with ‘computable’ sections of computable sets in $F$ over $G$. Let $T \subseteq F$ be a computable set. Let ${\mathbf{1}_{T}}$ be the characteristic function of $T$. Now we construct a characteristic function of a computable section $T'$ of $T$ as follows: $${\mathbf{1}_{T'}}(n) := \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } {\mathbf{1}_{T}}(n)=1 \text{ and } ((\forall \ l < n \ \ \psi(n)\neq \psi(l)) \vee (n=\ue));\\ 0 & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}$$ That is, $T'$ is the set of the first members of each $E$-coset in $T$ except for the coset $\ue E$, on which we pick $\ue$ instead if $\ue \in T$. Since the functions ${\mathbf{1}_{T}}, \psi$ are computable, it is easy to see that ${\mathbf{1}_{T'}}$ is computable as well. In particular, the function $x \mapsto \psi^{-1}(x)'$ from $G$ to $F$ is computable

We need a Farm Bill that is as good for farmers and the land as it is for eaters. The Farm Bill debate is currently in full-swing in the U.S. Senate this week. The sprawling legislation covers food stamps, subsidies, international food aid, research grants — it literally dictates what and how we eat. And right now, the Farm Bill gives all the power to the biggest food companies, which they wield with impunity over farmers and consumers. But an amendment to the bill – the Packer Ban, introduced by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Kent Conrad (D-North Dakota) – could begin to address this unfair advantage that giant food companies have over farmers. A tiny number of corporations sit between fewer than a million full-time farmers and 300 million eaters. Only a handful of companies sell seeds and fertilizer to farmers, buy their crops and livestock, process the fruits of farmers’ labor into manufactured food, and sell it at a declining number of gigantic supermarket chains. Those that sell supplies and equipment charge farmers high prices. Meanwhile, the processors and meatpackers that buy from farmers pay low, and consumers see a smaller number of choices at often-higher prices at the grocery store. The lack of competition is especially severe in livestock markets where, between 2000 and 2010, the United States lost 89,000 beef cattle operations (more than 10 percent) and 19,000 hog operations (about 20 percent). Just four companies dominate meat processing in the Unites States, controlling 80 percent of the marketplace. With few buyers, farmers rarely get a competitive price for their livestock. At the local level, there are often only one or two meatpackers buying livestock and often times both companies are represented by the same person, making it impossible for a farmer to negotiate a fair price. Meatpackers increasingly own their own cattle in order to manipulate the market. The companies buy livestock on the open market when prices are low but slaughter their own livestock when bidding prices rise. This puts long-term, downward pressure on the price of livestock and allows meatpackers to manipulate what farmers and ranchers earn. These persistently low livestock prices effectively work to push small and medium-sized farmers out of business, while still leading to increased consumer food prices because large meatpackers don’t face enough competition to force them to pass on savings to consumers. The Senate’s version of the bill retreats from the gains made in the 2008 Farm Bill to ensure

ORDER ON MOTION FOR ALLOWANCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE ALEXANDER L. PASKAY, Chief Judge. This Chapter 11 case, instituted by William Alton (Debtor), presents a novel question for this Court's consideration. It involves the right of the State of Florida (State) to have an unpaid unemployment claim allowed and charged against the estate of the Debtor as a first priority claim pursuant to Sec. 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The underlying facts relevant and germane to the claim of the State are without dispute and are as follows: The Debtor is an individual and was at the time pertinent a general partner of an entity, Madison Hotel Management, Ltd. (Madison Hotel), a limited partnership. In mid-1985, Madison Hotel filed its own voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11. In due course it was authorized to continue to operate its one and only asset, a facility known as the Princess Martha Hotel located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The liability asserted by the State is for the unpaid unemployment tax incurred by Madison Hotel, and based on its failure to pay the appropriate unemployment tax for the fourth quarter of 1985 and the first and second quarters of 1986. The claim of the State is in the amount of $4,090.44. The Debtor, the general partner of Madison Hotel, subsequently filed his own voluntary petition for relief. The Chapter 11 case of the Madison Hotel was ultimately dismissed for its inability to effectuate a plan of organization, but the individual case of the Debtor is still pending. It is the contention of the State that the Debtor as general partner of the Madison Hotel is legally liable for the debts of Madison Hotel, and since this liability is based on the unpaid unemployment taxes incurred post-petition by Madison Hotel and that of the Debtor, the debt is properly chargeable against the Debtor's estate pursuant to § 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and must be accorded administrative claim status pursuant to § 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, it is contended by the State that under applicable local law, Sec. 620.71, Fla.Stat., the partnership was automatically dissolved upon the commencement of a bankruptcy case, therefore, the partnership case of Madison Hotel was actually the Debtor's case, and thus he is not only vicariously, but primarily liable for unpaid unemployment taxes incurred originally by Madison Hotel. For this reason the unpaid unemployment taxes should be properly chargeable against his estate as costs

------ xaedes As a research scientist: ~7 hours (after breaks), of which only 3h are programming. The rest is organizational stuff like meetings, writing research proposals, answering emails, making powerpoints, supervise students, etc... ~~~ wowsig So do you count your work hours as 3 hours or 7? And curious, if you try and optimise for more 'real work' time? I feel I'm quite hard on myself and consider it unnatural if I read an article or even browse randomly at work. ~~~ xaedes A few months ago I had the feeling I get nothing done (programming), because of all the other stuff I had to do. That is why I started tracking my time consumption on a half hour base. "If you want to control something you need to measure it" was my thinking. The time tracking itself doesn't cost much time. Did it earlier for my private life for a few months. The first weeks my average programming time was only 1.5h! I slowly got it up to 3h now. But do I count it as 3h or 7h work? Hm - As a student I sure had more time for programming itself. But I actually get more work done now. I can much easier pursue multiple projects and delegate work to students. It is just that I didn't (have to) see all the organizational stuff that needs to happen beside the programming itself as a student. The other 4h I do valuable stuff. Some of it should imho be done by others, but we are currently a little bit short on staff..^^ It's a nice learning opportunity though. So to answer your question: I would count the whole 7 hours. ~~~ xaedes But honestly all the work-related reading on the web (e.g. hackernews) I do should count as work time too. Then you can add some 4 hours or so. ~~~ ajeet_dhaliwal How do you decide if it's work-related reading/browsing or not?

Although the mechanisms involved in dentinogenesis are unknown, it is clear that a unique set of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins participates in the formation of predentin and its subsequent mineralization to form dentin. Mature odontoblasts secrete collagen at the cell border and non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) at the mineralization front (possibly through odontoblastic processes). Here NCPs form complexes with collagen. Carbonate apatite crystals are formed and this site-specific

The larger amount of Fn adsorbed onto HAP1 particles as compared with HAP2 particles is in agreement with previous work showing a decrease in Fn adsorption with increasing size of HAP nanoparticles.^[@ref25]^ Adsorption of serum proteins has also been found to increase on polymer scaffolds containing smaller and less crystalline HAP nanoparticles.^[@ref35]^ It should be noted that our results in Figure [4](#fig4){ref-type="fig"}B indicate the amount of Fn adsorbed per unit volume and may not be relevant to Fn adsorbed per unit surface area onto the nanoparticles. Each voxel (0.4 × 0.4 × 1.0 μm^3^) can accommodate approximately 10K of HAP1 or 1K of HAP2 nanoparticles (assuming reasonable thickness). Additionally, single HAP1 particles have higher surface area to volume ratios than single HAP2 particles. Thus, the higher level of fluorescence measured for HAP1 compared to HAP2 could result from both the larger quantity and larger surface area of HAP1 particles per voxel, even if the same amount of Fn adsorbed per unit surface area onto HAP1 and HAP2 particles. However, our FRET results in Figure [4](#fig4){ref-type="fig"}A suggest that Fn adopts a more compact conformation and hence takes less space when adsorbed onto HAP1, implying that there could be more Fn adsorbed per unit surface area on HAP1 compared to HAP2. Moreover, we observe a correlation between the quantity and the conformation of Fn adsorbed, with larger Fn amounts correlating systematically to more compact Fn conformations. This correlation can be attributed either to a reduced space available for each Fn molecule adsorbed or to protein--protein interactions that stabilize compact Fn conformation at high surface coverage (in particular on HAP1 surface). Our data are in agreement with previous work reporting a similar relationship between the interfacial concentration and conformation of Fn adsorbed onto hydrophobic polystyrene, in which the authors suggested that molecular packing and protein--protein interactions at high Fn bulk concentration reduced Fn molecular unfolding.^[@ref40]^ On hydrophilic surfaces, such as mica, the orientation and conformation of Fn have been shown to depend on surface coverage as well, where increasing specific interactions with collagen-related peptides is observed at higher surface coverage.^[@ref41]^ In fact, our FRET results show that Fn molecules adsorbed onto atomically smooth mica at very low bulk concentration (50 μg/

With the little bit of code you've shown, you're doing a number of things wrong. Based on this line: imageViewTutorial.image = UIImage(named: tutorialImages[I]) it looks like you have one UIImageView and you are setting its .image property 3 times, instead of creating 3 different image views. Also, there is nothing in your code indicating how you are setting the frames of the image views. I highly recommend using auto-layout instead of explicit frames - makes things much, much easier going forward. Here is a complete example. It will create a square (1:1 ratio) scroll view 20-pts from the top with 20-pts padding on each side, and a UIPageControl below. It then adds a horizontal UIStackView to the scroll view. That stack view will hold the image views. Once the image views are added, the stack view will automatically define the "scrollable area" -- no need for calculating .contentSize. Here's what it will look like: Everything is done in code, so just assign the class of an empty view controller to SlidesExampleViewController ... no @IBOutlet or @IBAction connections needed. class SlidesExampleViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate { lazy var pageControl: UIPageControl = { let v = UIPageControl() v.backgroundColor = .brown return v }() lazy var scrollView: UIScrollView = { let v = UIScrollView(frame: .zero) v.backgroundColor = .yellow v.delegate = self return v }() lazy var stackView: UIStackView = { let v = UIStackView() v.axis = .horizontal v.alignment = .fill v.distribution = .fill v.spacing = 0 return v }() let tutorialImages: [String] = ["1", "2", "3"] override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .white scrollView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false pageControl.translatesAutores

An example of a microphone array including a plurality of microphones arranged in array is disclosed in Patent Literature 1. According to Patent Literature 1, first and second microphones are disposed with a predetermined distance D therebetween in a microphone array. A third microphone is disposed between the first and second microphones, being spaced by a distance D/2 from the first and second microphones. A fourth microphone is disposed at a location between the third and first microphones, being spaced by a distance D/4 from the first and third microphones. A fifth microphone is disposed at a location between the third and fourth microphones, being spaced from the third and fourth microphones by a distance D/8. A sixth microphone is disposed at a location between the fifth and third microphones, being spaced from the third and fifth microphones by a distance D/16. A seventh microphone is disposed at a location between the sixth and third microphones, being spaced from the third and sixth microphones by a distance D/32. A eighth microphone is disposed at a location between the seventh and third microphones, being spaced from the third and seventh microphones by a distance D/64. Audio signals from these microphones, which form microphone units, are processed by beam forming. More specifically, the first through third microphones form a first microphone unit; first, fourth and third microphones form a second microphone unit; the third through fifth microphones form a third microphone unit; and the third, fifth and sixth microphones form a fourth microphone unit. The third, sixth and seventh microphones form a fifth microphone unit; and the third, seventh and eighth microphones form a sixth microphone unit. The audio signals from the first and second microphones in the first microphone unit are multiplied by a factor 0.5, and the audio signal from the third microphone is multiplied by a factor 1. The audio signals from the first through third microphones multiplied by the respective factors are combined by combining means into a composite signal. Similarly, in each of the second through sixth microphone units, the audio signals are processed in such a manner that the audio signals from the microphones located at the opposite ends of that microphone unit are multiplied by a factor of 0.5 with the audio signal from the microphone at the center of that microphone unit being multiplied by a factor 1, whereby a composite signal is formed. The thus produced composite signals are combined to thereby provide the microphone system with sharp directivity over a wide frequency range. Further, the audio signal from each of the microphones

The Carmarthen transmitting station was originally built by the BBC in 1964/65 as a relay for VHF radio and VHF television. The site was built on a 135 m ridge to the north of Carmarthen itself, and entered service on 15 March 1965. The transmission station is now owned and operated by Arqiva. UHF 625-line colour television was never radiated from this site: the main transmitter at Carmel (20 km to the east) provided that service to the town from 1973 when it opened. The 405-line VHF television service closed across the UK in 1985, but according to the BBC's transmitter list and the BBC's internal "Eng. Inf." magazine, Carmarthen was due to close early - in the first quarter of 1982. From that point onwards the site just relayed FM radio until 6 June 2011 when a single multiplex of DAB radio was added. Channels listed by frequency Analogue television 15 March 1965 - First Quarter 1982 The site provided BBC 405-line VHF television to the towns of Carmarthen and Abergwili which, being sited in a river estuary, could not reliably receive a signal from Wenvoe, 85 km to the east. Analogue radio (VHF FM) 15 March 1965 - January 1973 According to the BBC's R&D report, the original frequencies for the FM radio services were as shown below. January 1973 - May 1978 The three original radio services were still on their original frequencies as late as January 1973, but ERPs had been slightly increased to 10 W per channel by then. By May 1978 all three transmission frequencies had been moved by 400 kHz and all three were transmitting in stereo by that time. † Radio 4 was replaced by BBC Radio Cymru when it launched in January 1977. May 1978 - Late 1980s The new frequency plan continued unchanged until Radio 1 gained its own frequency. Late 1980s - present Radio 1 was given its own frequency as more of Band II became available for broadcasting after the bandplan changes of 1988.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annie Flanagan Valerie pushed Puna to take on more responsibility as a team leader and to work with an English tutor to broaden Puna’s future opportunities. “We like to use what happens here as examples of success stories,” said Valerie. “And it is not my success, it is what they contribute.” PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annie Flanagan Puna and Valerie have become close. “She’s so kind, she loves everybody,” Puna says of Valerie. “Most companies want you to speak English. She hires everybody.” PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annie Flanagan Over the last five years, Puna has taken on greater responsibilities at work. She’s a team leader at the factory, arriving early to set up the line and staying late to do paperwork. Her husband, Chandra Sanyashi, works the night shift. PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annie Flanagan Grand Prairie Foods is a family-owned factory that makes prepared foods, like breakfast sandwiches, for hotels, hospitals and brands like Hormel. Factories of all sorts have become increasingly automated, but there’s no easy way to automate putting sausage on a biscuit. The low unemployment rate in Sioux Falls has made workers scarce, which is one of the reasons the Loudenbacks came to rely on the refugee community. The area’s growing immigrant community has not come without tensions. Last year, refugee resettlement groups decided to bring fewer people to the area, concerned about animosity toward new immigrants. In 2017, President Trump announced he would cap refugee admissions nationwide at 45,000, a historic low. PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annie Flanagan After she finishes work, Puna comes home and cooks for her family. Puna’s son and mother-in-law, Chabi, often sit by Puna as she makes dinner over the portable gas stove in the garage. “I cook there all the time because if I cook inside it smells bad,” says Puna. “I like my house to smell good.” PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annie Flanagan When the Sanyashi family first arrived in South Dakota, they were among only a handful of Bhutanese and Nepali families in Sioux Falls.

No. 11-3223 JOSE J. L OERA, JR., Petitioner-Appellant, v. U NITED S TATES OF A MERICA, Respondent-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division. No. 2:10-cv-00453-PPS—Philip P. Simon, Chief Judge. A RGUED JANUARY 15, 2013—D ECIDED M AY 7, 2013 Before P OSNER, W OOD , and T INDER, Circuit Judges. P OSNER, Circuit Judge. The petitioner, Jose Loera, asks us to set aside his conviction on the ground that his trial lawyer had been ineffective. See 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Loera had been indicted back in 2005 on drug charges. In re- sponse to a motion to suppress, the judge had forbid- den the government to offer evidence of what the peti- tioner had told DEA agents after he allegedly asked for a lawyer. After repeated continuances the judge dis- 2 No. 11-3223 missed the indictment (though without prejudice), on the ground that the delay resulting from the continu- ances had violated the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 et seq. Loera was reindicted and again sought to sup- press his statements to the agents. But this time the judge—the same judge—denied the motion on the ground that actually Loera had not told the DEA agents he wanted a lawyer. So the statements were admitted into evidence. The jury convicted Loera and the judge sentenced him to 240 months in prison. We affirmed the conviction and sentence. 565 F.3d 406 (7th Cir. 2009). Loera faults his lawyer first for having failed to argue to the district judge that the denial of the motion to sup- press in the first round of the criminal proceeding should be binding in the second round—the trial—by virtue of the doctrine of collateral estoppel; and second for having failed to argue in that first round that the delay in the proceeding had violated not only the Speedy Trial Act but also the

I started Googling when I was about nine years old, at the latest. My brother, who is five years old, has used Google since he was three or four. My entire life, I have been able to investigate my interests and other bits of information, with individual independence. If a news story interests me, I have been wired, by habit and what-have-you, to seek out the info when and from whom I want it. A local news program once teased a fluff piece about some record-breaking octopus. They were hoping it would entice viewers enough to sit through the commercials and watch it when the program returned. In the past, this would have been the case. But instead, because that subject piqued my interest, I went ahead and looked it up very quickly online. Immediately, through Google News, I had access to dozens of articles to whet my appetite. I got the jist of the subject, and then I moved on. All of this before the commercials on TV were over. When the program returned, they dedicated seconds to the subject, and moved on. There was a huge difference between what I knew about the subject from what I learned online, and the very little I would have known if I had only relied upon the TV news segment. Entire generations are wired to rely on the latter, the youngest ones are wired to Google. My parents, who are still rather young--they are both 41--are more likely to just wait for the news program to return. These cultural differences blow my mind. They remind me how dynamic culture is, and how much it has changed even throughout the course of my short life. I told my five-year-old brother a couple weeks ago, that the internet is not very old, and there was a long time when people did not have it. It was hard for him to grasp a time when people did not have Google. I have to admit, I ask myself that very same question all of the time. (Head Explodes) ~~~ NathanKP Exactly. I can foresee that soon television news programs will find it harder and harder to attract viewers as the newer generation with its use of the Internet for news turns away from the television networks. It'll be interesting to see what they do

DESCRIPTION: The long term goal of this study is to understand how mammalian CNS neurons and glia are generated. The murine cerebral cortex contains a large number of restricted neuronal progenitor cells at very early stages of embryogenesis. The remaining cells are multi-potent stem cells that are capable of generating both neurons and glia. An small number at early stages are restricted glial progenitors. Despite their relative rarity, cortical stem cells appear to be a major source of neurons and the major source of glia at

We reviewed the incidence and severity of scoliosis in 93 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who had been rehabilitated in light-weight knee-ankle-foot orthoses at the point of loss of ambulation, between the ages of 6 and 12 years. There was an inverse relationship between the severity of the scoliosis and the age walking was lost in the orthoses. The scoliosis was less severe in the 20 boys (22%) who walked in their orthoses

2. Materials and Methods {#sec2-materials-12-01885} ======================== The workflow ([Figure 1](#materials-12-01885-f001){ref-type="fig"}) follows a typical multiscale approach \[[@B31-materials-12-01885]\] where microscopic behaviour is described using a representative volume element (RVE) and global response is simulated using homogenisation of the RVE (first step). Statistical representation of the microstructure is evaluated by varying the RVE size until stabilization of homogenised properties occurs, i.e., a statistical volume element (SVE) is obtained. The sensitivity of the homogenised properties to changes in constituent properties, i.e., fiber and matrix properties, are analysed with the aim of assessing the importance of individual input parameters, since not all of them are necessarily well known. Homogenised properties can be measured experimentally \[[@B32-materials-12-01885]\], but the goal here is that no experimental calibration \[[@B33-materials-12-01885]\] or inverse micromechanics is used. There are two reasons for this: First, experimental work can be expensive and time-consuming if it is needed every time an input parameter changes. Second, using inverse micromechanics or model calibration makes experimental validation redundant. The second step in the workflow is to insert the homogenised properties into a macroscopic model, which takes the component geometry, boundary conditions and load cases into consideration. The response of the macroscopic model can be validated experimentally by loading the component and comparing measured strain values with simulated strain. The macroscopic model is used to identify critical areas in the structure. The third step in the workflow involves using the critical locations for defining displacements and boundary conditions for the RVE so that they are relevant with the practical application in mind. The effect of known defects found using advanced non-destructive testing \[[@B16-materials-12-01885]\] or postulated defects can now be evaluated in microscale with loading conditions relevant to real-life applications. The simulated failure strength of a defective component can thus be calculated and compared to experimentally obtained failure loads. Ideally, this process allows the estimation of residual strength of a defective component based on in-service inspection results. The macroscopic model and case study presented in this paper is three-point bending of a pultruded UD CFRP beam. Constituent properties and micrographs are used to create the RVE and to obtain homogenised composite properties. The critical location is identified from the

Hi I'm working on a software project for work that inflects english words into their various derived forms. e.g. work (verb) -> works, working, worked. My main problem at the moment is that I need to standardize some naming conventions or categories for each inflection type in my program, and then funnel scraped data from across the internet into these categories. For nouns it was fairly easy since there is just plural and possessive (correct me at any point if there is an error). For adjectives I have base form, superlative, and comparative. For verbs the situation is more complicated. I have a mood -> tense -> person -> number hierarchy currently that was brought over from the Italian language system. I want to be clear that I do not need a category for every possible combination, and I do not need separate categories for conjugations that use auxiliary verbs, only those which inflect the verb's form. I want a minimum set of categories that will fully describe all possible flexed regular & irregular verb forms. For instance from what I can tell https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/be#Conjugation "be" is the most irregular verb and has 8 different forms, so ideally I'd like to have at most 8 categories. At the moment, when I say "category" I mean a single combination of multiple "aspects". Sorry if I am using jargon loosely or improperly, I'm learning things as I do research for this project. So far I have the following jumble of aspects: Moods: indicative, imperative, subjunctive, infinitive, participle Tenses: present, past, preterite Persons: first person, second person, third person Number: singular, plural An example of a category might be indicative, present, third person, singular for work -> works. I do not need to keep this hierarchy, I can use any flat or nested structure necessary. However, I need to know how a standard conjugation table (from wiktionary for example) might map onto it. Currently I'm most worried about moods and tenses. For instance is the preterite identical to the past form? I understand that it's used to describe a different tense but it seems like the base inflection is the same. Can I get rid of one, and if so which? The moods were mostly just copied and pasted

Edge enhancement and smoothing non-linear algorithms are also known, particularly in the printing of alphanumeric text. The idea is to find edges (sharp tonal transitions, e.g, between an eye and the surrounding eye lid) in the source data and render them both continuous, rather than appearing to have steps, and sharp at the target resolution without blurring the values of pixels which lie on different sides of the edge. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,394,485 (Lowe et al., assigned to the common assignee of the present invention) discloses a Method and Apparatus for Smoothed Scaling of Facsimile Images. U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,728 (Lund et al., assigned to the common assignee of the present invention) teaches a pixel thinning methodology in a Raster Imaging Device Speed-Resolution Product Multiplying Method and Resulting Pixel Image Data Structure. U.S. Pat. No. 5,446,804 (Allebach et al., assigned to the common assignee of the present invention) discloses a method for Magnifying Digital Image[s] Using Edge Mapping where to magnify the image, an edge map is produced for certain image boundary conditions, generating one or more additional pixels in locations among the original pixels and expanding the distances between the pixels so that the resolution of the locations of the pixels becomes the same as the original pixels. Conversely to pixel replication and bilinear interpolations, edge enhancement and smoothing algorithms may not be very effective in terms of improving smooth textures and transition zones. There is a need for a data resolution enhancement methodology applicable to data representative of any data structures representing functional and structural aspects of physical objects or activities where subsets of the data can be extracted from the entire data set and interpolated. In the application of the present invention for image data processing, there remains a specific need for a method of improving low resolution data which will improve the visual quality of the entire source image across the entire spectrum of content. The method for improving resolution should be effective for both graphics images and alphanumeric text. Data filtering as used in the present invention is well known in the art. Texts such as Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing, by Anil Jain (copr. 19, Prentice Hall publishers) review such techniques. Specifically for printing technology, the use of data filtering is made in U.S. Pat. No. 5,

Moti Mahal Delux is a global chain of restaurants with over 150 franchises in India and around the world. After the partition of India in 1947, the first Moti Mahal in Delhi founded by Kundan Lal Jaggi, Kundan Lal Gujral and Thakur Dass was one of the first restaurants to introduce the Punjabi cuisine to the rest of the world and many famous dishes include tandoori chicken, butter chicken and dal makhani. History 'Moti Mahal' was founded by Kundan Lal Jaggi, Kundan Lal Gujral, and Thakur Dass in Delhi in 1947, they worked at a small eatery called Moti Mahal, owned by a man named 'Mokha Singh' in Peshawar, British India, from 1920's to 1947. Moti Mahal was the first to dig up a tandoor right in the middle of the eatery and since then Peshawar was introduced to the culinary art of tandoori chicken by them. This was a success and soon there was in demand for Tandoori at social gatherings and wedding feasts where they would use an improvised tandoor. After the partition of India in 1947, they fled to Delhi with their family. In Delhi, the 3 partners bought a thara (booth) in Daryaganj area, then considered a newer part of Old Delhi and then they started Moti Mahal, Daryaganj Moti Mahal further went on to invent butter chicken and dal makhani. This brought about a revolution in taste and a place on the International Gourmet Map. Thus was born the Moti Mahal Restaurant, which contributed significantly to putting India on the food map of the world. Indian leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Zakir Hussain among various foreign dignitaries like Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. have visited Moti Mahal to sample Moti Mahal’s innovations – its tandoori delicacies on various occasions. And M. Maulana Azad, the great Muslim leader, reportedly told the Shah of Iran that while in India he must make two visits – to the Taj Mahal and Moti Mahal. Later in 1970`s Kundan Lal’s son Mr Nand Lal '

He was also told the company, which has an extensive customer list across a wide range of industries including rail, automotive, nuclear and aerospace, had purchased a six acre site at the Walker Business Park in Blackburn for future expansion. WEC Group commercial director Wayne Wild explained the group’s growth was based on continual investment in cutting edge machinery and in diversification. He also urged more government support for businesses the size of WEC Group, which aren’t SMEs but are not operating on the scale of industrial giants such as Rolls-Royce. He said: “We are caught in the middle, between SMEs and the bigger powerhouse groups, and as a result I feel we are being largely ignored. “The support network exists for SMEs, but if we want to look at European funding, for instance, then we have to do it ourselves, with no support at all. And we have to finance the bid ourselves.” The shadow cabinet member, who was accompanied by local Labour parliamentary candidate Will Straw on his visit, said Britain needed more companies like WEC. And he said laying out policies to support job-creating businesses would play an important part in the unfolding election campaign. He said: “For me it is incredibly important. The point of our policies is to grow those sectors of the economy that produce decent, fulfilling, well-paid jobs and help us pay our way in the world and compete. “A business like WEC Group illustrates what we are trying to achieve more of. It has grown through sustainable long-term investment, has a good business model, treats its workers well and therefore has good levels of productivity. “The problem is, we as a country don’t have enough companies like the WEC Group.” He said the government needed to back sectors like engineering and added it was important to provide access to sources of capital so businesses could invest in the long term. And he also praised WEC Group’s award-winning training academy – the only one of its kind in the country, saying: “We have a chronic skill shortage.” Ten per cent of the WEC workforce is now made up of apprentices.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE The facts of this case are undisputed. Plaintiffs are Miguel A. Aponte and his wife, Belivia S. Aponte. Miguel Aponte was a deputy sheriff for the Wake County Sheriff's Department. Because Aponte could speak Spanish, he was asked to assist the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in the execution of a federal search warrant and a federal arrest warrant. The target of these warrants was to be arrested on federal criminal charges for conspiracy to distribute cocaine and heroin. The warrants were executed on the morning of December 14, 1994. The raid team consisted of six federal agents and Deputy Sheriff Aponte. Once the team had positioned itself at the apartment specified in the warrants, one federal agent knocked on the door and announced, "Federal Agents! We have a search warrant, open the door!" Aponte repeated the announcement in Spanish. The agents then used a master key to open the door. The door only opened about three inches, where it was caught by a chain. The federal agents again announced the order to open the door; and again Aponte repeated in Spanish. When there was still no response, the agents forced the door and announced, "Police! Police Officers! Search warrant, we're coming in!" Aponte repeated in Spanish. As the raid team entered the apartment, one federal agent lost his balance and fell forward. When the agent tried to regain his balance, his gun went off. As a result, Deputy Aponte was shot in the foot. Deputy Aponte retired from the Wake County Sheriff's department as of September 19, 1995. He is entitled to North Carolina Workers Compensation due to the disability arising from the gunshot wound to his foot. Aponte also filed for and was granted Federal Workers Compensation. The Department of Labor determined that Aponte was covered under the Federal Employee's Compensation Act (hereinafter "FECA"), under 5 U.S.C. § 8191; and that Aponte was entitled to the total amount of FECA, which is greater than the North Carolina Workers Compensation. 5 U.S.C. § 8192(a).

~~~ rajan_chandi Thank you. We're just building this for connecting hackers. It seems to be getting attention...approached 100 users in 3 hours. We'll figure something. What's ur suggestion? ------ icode 1) Chat doesnt work here. Im on Firefox 7.01 2) I see a guy and he looks like hes chatting with someone. So I probably see the wrong stream? 3) When I switch, only the text switches. The video stream stays the same. In other words: Nothing works. ~~~ rajan_chandi It works differently. It is not face 2 face chat. It is like you're checking out other people when other people are checking out other people. If you like them and their project and technology - you write them an email. We'll add phone call feature later. Chatroulette is good but people don't like to be passed on. There is some negativity that we don't want on our site. Thank you for your detailed review and feedback. ------ rajan_chandi MVP is ready. The idea is to connect hackers with an intent of building something cool together by complementing skills. We believe if this gets adoption - It can double the number of new companies created every year. We'll love your feedback. ~~~ tfb Doesn't seem to work at all for me on Chrome 15 on Windows 7, so I suspect it isn't working for pretty much everyone else. ~~~ ThePawnBreak It's working for me on Chrome 15 on Windows 7. ~~~ rajan_chandi Thank you.

Because this is inside another function. Also, you have to check if you didn't click the element itself. If you delete if(!$(event.target).closest('.navbar-toggle').length) The class gets added, but directly deleted. if ($('.navbar-toggle').hasClass('active') ) returns true, because you added that class few lines before.

A known method, capable of carrying out scientific measurements of dielectric constants in wood and materials containing wood, uses a pair of electrically conductive plates of the same dimensions applied on opposite sides of the wooden sample to fill all the space between the plates with this sample. An alternating current is then applied to the capacitor formed by the two plates and the sample. Theoretically, the capacitor may be applied to several points of a piece of wood to detect changes in the dielectric constant thereof. However, this procedure presents numerous disadvantages: the plates along with the supply leads have to be applied to opposite sides of the wooden sample, which is often impracticable; PA1 filling the space between the two plates with the sample is impossible when an internal member of an already erected building structure should be inspected; PA1 electrocution hazards exist as conductive material is generally present in the structures under investigation; and PA1 the measurements must be compared to known values, which requires calibration. PA1 the stud sensor requires calibration to be operational; PA1 if the initial calibration is made over a point to be detected, that is a point of high density corresponding to the position of a stud, the stud sensor will not detect the studs; it will not detect the points of high density as long as the calibration is made over a point of low density through trial and error; PA1 after successful calibration, the stud sensor will indicate points on the wall where the density is higher than that of the point of the last calibration; PA1 frequent calibration may be necessary; PA1 the stud sensor will not produce meaningful readings or may give misleading indications in the presence of thicker surface material, as is often the case in wood lath and plaster walls and in gypsum board walls and ceilings where thick layers of plaster are present to level off joints; PA1 it cannot operate meaningfully on wooden board or plank finish, because of the thickness of such a finish and the generally significant variations in density from one board or plank to the other; PA1 it will not operate either in the presence of electrically conductive fasteners used in walls and ceilings, and more generally in the case of wood board finish floors; PA1 within its range of sensitivity, it will signal the presence of electrically conductive materials, without depth discrimination; PA1 it presents a low resolution in the detection of conductors. PA1 the sensing device comprises a plurality of electrically conductive second sensor plates electrically connected together; PA1 the first plate and the plurality of second plates are mounted on a common plate support;

Ross has a dream of riding off to Mexico to retire from the hard work of the range, but he doesn't have much money saved up. Frank suggests they rob a bank and head for Mexico together. While Ross thinks this over, he and Frank brawl with Hansen's men at a saloon. Buckman intends to withhold their pay to make restitution for the saloon's damages. Desperate for money now, Ross agrees to the holdup. He takes banker Billings to town at gunpoint while Frank holds the banker's wife, Sada, hostage at home. Ross rides back with $36,000. Before making a getaway, he gives Billings $3,000 so that Buckman's other cowboys won't lose any pay they have coming. Sada tells her husband to keep the money and not inform the sheriff. A posse is formed that includes Buckman's two sons, hot-tempered John and easy-going Paul, told by their father that no cowhand of his is going to get away with breaking the law. Ross and Frank get as far as Arizona and go into town for supplies. Ross hires a prostitute while Frank plays poker. A card player dislikes Frank's winning of a huge pot and shoots him in the leg. Ross comes to his partner's aid and a shootout commences, leaving several people dead. Back home, Buckman and Hansen have a run-in that results in both their deaths. John and Paul hear about their father's fate from a Tucson sheriff. Paul wants to turn back but John becomes obsessed with fulfilling the old man's last request, catching the bank robbers. Frank refuses to see a doctor, and his leg injury grows much worse. Ross has to pull him behind a horse on a stretcher. Frank dies from the wound just before John and Paul turn up on the trail, where Ross is gunned down. Disgusted with the entire affair and sorry he had to shoot Ross, Paul rides off, leaving John alone struggling to return Ross' dead body to the scene of his crime. The movie ends with a flashback of Ross riding a bucking bronc while Frank cheers him on.

This game reminded us there is no clock in baseball. But the game itself is like a minute hand, slowly circling around until it hits each number again. In the eighth inning, Hosmer made an error that nearly cost his team the game. With a runner on second and the game tied, 3–3, New York’s Wilmer Flores hit a sharp ground ball toward Hosmer at first. Hosmer should have made sure he kept the ball in front of him, so the runner couldn’t score. But that’s easy to type and harder to do in an instant. As Hosmer said later, “It’s one of those plays where you’ve got to decide whether you’re going in and get it, or sit back and get the hop. I was a little in between, but tried to go and charge it.” The ball hit the side of his glove; Hosmer admitted he “definitely” should have made the play. The runner scored; Hosmer thought that would win the game for the Mets. But then came the ninth. Gordon took the Mets' dominant closer, Jeurys Familia, as deep as any hitter can, over the centerfield fence. Hosmer was stunned. He didn’t even know what to say. He hugged Gordon. “I was the happiest person in the stadium at that point,” Hosmer said. “I had no words, That’s all I could tell him, was, ‘I just want to hug you right now.’” The minute hand was swinging toward Hosmer again. He struck out swinging in the bottom of the 10th. He was intentionally walked in the 12th​, and the Royals failed to score. And then came the 14th. #http://www.120sports.com/video/v155736280/royals-win-game-1 Baseball’s longest games often end suddenly, with one swing. That was not the case in Game 1. In the 14th​ inning, the Mets slowly suffocated. Third baseman David Wright bobbled an Escobar ground ball, and his rushed throw to first base pulled Lucas Duda off the bag; Escobar was safe. Duda had to hold the speedy shortstop on first, and that allowed Ben Zobrist to poke a single through the hole that Duda had vacated. Escobar advanced to third with no outs

3 MCL 769.34(2) provides that “the minimum sentence imposed by a court of this state for a felony enumerated in part 2 of chapter XVII committed on or after January 1, 1999 shall be within the appropriate sentence range under the version of those sentencing guidelines in effect on the date the crime was committed.” (Emphasis added.) -2- so our review is limited to plain error affecting substantial rights. Id. at 392. To satisfy the plain-error standard, a defendant must show that “an error occurred, that the error was plain, i.e., clear or obvious, and that the plain error affected substantial rights.” Id. at 393. Further, reversal is only warranted if the error “resulted in the conviction of an actually innocent defendant or seriously affected the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings.” Id. In this case, the trial court assessed 15 points under OV 5 for serious psychological injury to the victim’s family on the basis of testimony taken after the jury was dismissed. Accordingly, the court assessed the points on the basis of facts that were not admitted by defendant or found by the jury. Defendant had a prior record variable (PRV) score of 0, placing her in PRV level A (0 points), and an OV score of 80, placing her in OV level VI (more than 75 points). MCL 777.64. Deducting 15 OV points would reduce defendant’s OV score from 80 to 65 and “change the applicable guidelines minimum sentence range,” Lockridge, 498 Mich at 399, from 29 to 57 months to 19 to 38 months (OV level V—50 to 74 points). In Lockridge, 498 Mich at 395, citing Crosby, 397 F3d 117-118, our Supreme Court held that all defendants “(1) who can demonstrate that their guidelines minimum sentence range was actually constrained by the violation of the Sixth Amendment and (2) whose sentences were not subject to an upward departure” are entitled to a remand to determine whether the trial court committed plain error. Therefore, defendant is entitled to a Crosby remand pursuant to Lockridge. On remand, the trial court should first give defendant the opportunity to decline resentencing. Lockridge, 498 Mich at 398. We affirm the scoring of OV 5, but order a Crosby remand pursuant to Lockridge

Opioids are used for successful cancer pain management and adequate analgesia without excessive adverse effects in patients \[[@B1]\]. The availability and consumption of opioids have increased, and opioids other than morphine, such as oxycodone, have become more widely used. These drugs affect three types of the opioid receptor and subtypes of *μ* receptors differently \[[@B2], [@B3]\]. Therefore, individual variations in response to opioids must be considered in the management of cancer pain. Oxycodone and morphine have distinctly different pharmacological profiles; however, constipation during oxycodone treatment also occurs like in morphine treatment \[[@B4]\]. 2. Case Report {#sec2} ============== A 54-year-old man was referred to the emergency department for severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. He had undergone radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal six months before; however, he underwent additional radiotherapy again for recurrence of disease. He was otherwise healthy and with no history of abdominal diseases. He had taken oxycodone 10 mg daily for moderate to severe cancer pain in the ear. Initially, he did not complain of constipation, and his cancer pain was well controlled. However, the pain gradually increased over a period of several months, and the dose of oxycodone was increased to 80 mg. His ear pain then worsened and he suddenly became constipated. His dose of oxycodone was then increased to 100 mg, and he was given magnesium hydrochloride for the constipation. However, he self-medicated with oxycodone at dosages of up to 180 mg/day. After five days, he suddenly complained of diarrhea, hence, the laxative was stopped. However, his diarrhea worsened, and acute, severe abdominal pain occurred 6 days after the development of diarrhea, and then he visited the emergency department. An abdominal exam showed a flat, slightly hard abdomen with normal bowel sounds. He showed tenderness in the mid-lower abdomen, but no rebound tenderness. Digital examination of the rectum was performed, and hard stool was detected. Abdominal radiography showed a large amount of gas in the colon, and a computed tomography scan also showed colonic gas and a large stool mass blocking the rectum ([Figure 1](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}). This patient was treated with hydration and stool extraction, and the abdominal pain gradually ceased. His pain is now well controlled by percutaneous fentanyl administration. 3. Discussion {#sec3

Wind turbines convert wind energy to electrical energy by using the wind to drive the rotor of generator, either directly or by means of a gear box. The frequency of the AC power that is developed at the stator terminals of the generator is directly proportional to the speed of rotation of the rotor. The voltage at the generator terminals also varies as function of speed and, depending on the particular type of generator, on the flux level. For optimum power, the speed of rotation of the output shaft of the wind turbine will vary according to the speed of the wind driving the wind turbine blades. To limit the power at high wind speed, the speed of rotation of the output shaft is controlled by altering the pitch of the turbine blades. Power converters are, for example, used for matching the variable frequency AC power provided by the generator to the nominally constant frequency AC power of the grid. In a first stage of such a power converter a rectifier is used to convert the AC power delivered from the generator to a DC power. This DC power is fed to a so called DC link. In a second stage, called inverter, the inputs of which are connected to the DC link, the DC power is converted to an AC power matching the grid frequency. In general, the inverters are circuits used for converting DC power to AC power. They are equipped with switches for connecting the inverter phase terminal outputs to the positive or negative busbar of the DC link. The switching pattern for opening and closing the switches is provided on the basis of a pulse width modulation scheme which defines the timing for connecting the inverter outputs to the high or the low DC voltage level through the respective switches. During the times in which a switch is open a current flows from the DC link to the grid or vice versa. Other methods for determining the switching regime for the switches including direct control or predictive control are also applicable. The inverter may be controlled according to a power factor demand signal representing a power factor requested by the grid operator, where the power factor is given by the ratio of the real power to the apparent power (the apparent power is the square root of the sum of the squares of the real power and the reactive power). Instead of controlling the inverter according to a power factor demand the inverter can also be controlled on the basis of a real power demand and a reactive power demand. Furthermore, instead of controlling the inverter directly according to a power factor demand, or a real power demand and reactive power demand, it can also be controlled according to current

Biography Ganapati Muni was born in Kalavarayai near Bobbili in Andhra Pradesh on 17 November 1878. His parents, Narasimha Sastri and Narasamamba had three sons, Muni being the second. Ganapati, when 18 years old, set out and wandered from one place to another, residing in places like Bhuvaneshwar, where he performed his tapas. When Ganapati was staying in Varanasi he learned of an assembly of Sanskrit scholars in the city of Nabadwip in Bengal. He participated in it and on passing the tests in extempore Sanskrit prose and poetry, was conferred the title 'Kavyakantha'. He was then 22 years old. He returned home at the age of 25. From Kanchipuram he came to Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai) in 1903 to perform tapas. At that time he visited Ramana Maharshi, who was then known as Brahmanaswami, before he accepted a teaching post in Vellore in 1904. He wrote his devotional epic hymn "Uma Sahasram," One Thousand Verses on Uma (goddess Parvathi), after accepting Ramana Maharshi as his Guru on 18 November 1907. He also met Sri Aurobindo on 15 August 1928. Ganapati Muni died at Kharagpur on 25 July 1936. Influence Ganapati Muni's teachings are laid out in his magnum opus, 'Uma Sahasram' and other works like 'Mahavidyadi Sutras'. They helped to reduce popular prejudice about the teachings of Tantra. His students include T.V. Kapali Sastry. Literary works Umasahasram An anthology of the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, along with English translations. References Books Gunturu, Lakshmi Kantam.

Kinematical analysis ==================== As the existence of young objects at large distances from the star forming regions of the Galactic disk is potentially interesting, we have performed a kinematical analysis for PG 1002+506. Although no proper motion information is available, it is possible to use the observed radial velocity of a star to constrain its evolutionary history. A detailed description of the method of analysis is given by Rolleston et al. (1997). We first consider a scenario whereby PG 1002+506 has a zero velocity component parallel to the Galactic disk, and ejection has occurred perpendicular to the plane of the Galaxy. We have corrected the observed heliocentric velocity for the effects of differential rotation (Fich et al. 1989), assuming that the halo co-rotates with the disk, to determine the stellar radial motion $(v_r)$ with respect to a standard of rest defined by its local environment. Our initial assumption implies that the observed radial velocity is a component of the stellar space motion $(v_z)$ perpendicular to the disk. We then attempt to show that PG 1002+506 could have reached its present position in the Galactic halo within its evolutionary lifetime, while reproducing the observed radial velocity, and calculating the required ejection velocity. These calculations have adopted the gravitational potential function of House & Kilkenny (1980). This analysis implicitly assumes that the star is ejected from the disk shortly after birth, consistent with cluster ejection simulations. The results of the kinematical analysis are given in Table 1. Given the large z-distance, it is not surprising to find the “time of flight” to be larger than the evolutionary age. We have therefore considered the effects of errors in the derived atmospheric parameters and the radial velocity measurement. By optimizing the values of $T_{\rm eff}$ and $\log g$ such that they are self-consistent within the errors, it is possible to increase the evolutionary age, so that it is greater than the predicted flight time. For example, adopting values of $T_{\rm eff} = 13,750$ K and $\log g = 4.0$ would imply an age of 115 Myr for a mass of 4.0 $M_{\odot}.$ Allowing an error of 15 km s$^{-1}$ in the observed heliocentric velocity also decreases the estimated flight time, but not significantly, to 84 Myr. Conclusions =========== PG 1002+506 appears to be a young, rapidly rotating B5Ve star at a

On the way to commit a bank robbery a gang of outlaws call off at a remote house in order to steal a horse. The house is owned by Amanda, a beautiful young widow who catches the eye of gang member Graham Dorsey. 2016 release from the Dutch singer/songwriter. Fake It Till We Die is Anouk's eleventh studio album and the follow-up to Queen For A Day, which was released earlier this year. After Anouk Teeuwe's breakthrough in 1997, she's had numerous hit singles in the Dutch and Belgian charts. Anouk represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden. Her song made it to the final - the first since 2004 for the Netherlands; and finished ninth. Anouk's musical style has been described as a combination of Joan Osborne, Melissa Etheridge and Alanis Morissette. She is known for explosive rock songs but has also made small and fragile songs. In addition to her pop/rock sound, she also experiments with soul, funk and hip hop. 'Fake It Till We Die' is the brand new studio album by controversial Dutch pop/rock singer Anouk. Her eleventh studio album is full of personally tinted songs. The first single is 'Down Daddy Down'. 'Fake It Till We Die' is the follow-up to 'Queen For A Day' which was released earlier this year in March. For this album Anouk once again worked with her regular producer duo from Sweden, Tore Johansson and Martin Gjerstad. Anouk is playing three live shows in the Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam on the 24st, 27th and 31st of May 2017, of which two shows are already sold-out. The Good Life is the debut album on Sony Masterworks from renowned jazz trumpeter, Till Brönner, Germany's best known and best-selling jazz artist. The album is conceived for relaxed moments and draws inspiration form the great American jazz songbook, including new arrangements of works made famous by Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole and many more. Along with his masterful trumpet playing, The Good Life also features Brönner singing on eight of the tracks and includes two original songs written by the 2-time Grammy nominee. Featuring an all-star band John Clayton/bass, Anthony Wilson/guitar, Larry Goldings/piano and Jeff Hamilton/drums The Good Life is an intimate

====== yellowapple > If your passion is dealing crack cocaine, should you do it? I actually think so, if the passion is indeed that specific. If not, then perhaps it's a passion for dealing in general, in which case a job as a sales rep or a startup founder would be the best bet :) (or, perhaps it's a passion for crack cocaine, in which case whatever, don't let me judge your life choices). Also, the article assumes that social impacts must be "good" (which further begs the question of what "good" means). A crack cocaine dealer can certainly have a "social impact", even if that impact is "more people addicted to crack cocaine". > We found that the most important four factors for being satisfied in your > work are: The first three out of four reasons go hand in hand with passion for one's work. If I'm passionate about being a crack cocaine dealer, for example, I'm more likely to find my work meaningful, I'm more likely to form meaningful relationships with my colleagues (depending on how you define "colleague", granted), and I'm more likely to be good at my job. Incidentally, observation #4 tends to also exist for being a crack cocaine dealer; from what I understand, it pays well and has excellent job security, so long as you can dodge the fuzz sufficiently well. > Finally, “follow your passion” encourages the idea that there’s one perfect > path for you Only if one believes that one may only have a single passion. I have multiple passions, like writing programs, watching cartoons of magical technicolor miniature equines, making fun of hipster ninja rockstar web-scale Wangular.js Ruby on Fails ThongoDB devops on Hacker News, and - of course - getting people addicted to crack cocaine (in roughly that order). That would mean at least four perfect paths for me, maybe more. Now, if this were a cartoon of magical technicolor miniature equines, where once you hit puberty a tattoo of some abstract concept gets magically and permanently tattooed onto your buttocks to visually remind everyone of what you're now permanently destined to do for the rest of your life, then perhaps this argument would have some merit

DESCRIPTION Abstract: This proposal is to pursue a highly innovative general theory that integrates evolution, developmental biology, epigenetics, and disease. Epigenetics is the study of information heritable during cell division other than the DNA sequence, and it underlies normal development and is important in cancer and possibly other common disease. I have been involved in this field since my discovery of altered DNA methylation in cancer in 1983. Since that time, I and others have grappled with how to incorporate epigenetics into evolutionary

Few investigations have been conducted to ascertain the job satisfaction of certified physicians in PHCFs in Shandong province following China's recent health system reforms. Accordingly, the current study has been conducted in order to help policymakers to improve strategies designed to enhance physicians' job satisfaction. Methods {#Sec3} ======= Study design {#Sec4} ------------ This study was designed to analyse current working conditions and to measure the job satisfaction of certified physicians working in PHCFs in rural Shandong in order to ascertain the factors influencing job satisfaction. Sampling {#Sec5} -------- Shandong Province, one of China's typical densely populated and economically developed regions, governs 17 prefectural-level cities. It has a good medical personnel foundation. By the end of 2016, there were 643,000 health care technicians in Shandong Province, of whom 245,000 were certified physicians, including 126,000 physicians working in rural areas. There is uneven economic development and an imbalance in medical resources among the eastern, middle, and western parts of Shandong Province. Therefore, a thorough survey of the job satisfaction of certified physicians in Shandong would provide general and representative data. Stratified random sampling was used in this study. It is a fact that the economy of Shandong is more developed in the east and less towards the west. First, two prefectural-level cities were randomly selected from the economically developed areas in the east, the developing areas in the middle, and the less-developed areas in the west, for a total of 6 prefectural-level cities. Second, two counties in each city were randomly selected, for a total of 12 counties. Finally, 12 CHs and 30 THs were randomly selected in those counties. In total, 540 copies of a questionnaire were distributed to certified physicians at the selected PHCFs. Trained research assistants distributed and collected the questionnaire. The survey was conducted from June to August 2016. Valid responses were received from 495 physicians (valid response rate: 91.6%). The questionnaire was anonymous and all participants provided informed consent prior to the study. Instrument {#Sec6} ---------- A review of the literature indicated that many instruments have been used to investigate the job satisfaction of different groups of people, such as village doctors, THC employees, and community health workers \[[@CR31], [@CR36]--[@CR41]\]. However, those tools were not conductive to the aim of the current study. The

In general, large dump trucks transport a construction material, such as sand or gravel. A large dump truck consists of a combination of a deck on which a baggage is loaded, and a cylinder that lifts the deck. The deck is classified into a floor type deck and a frame type deck depending on the existence of a reinforcement material on a bottom surface of the deck. The cylinder in this case is determined according to each deck type. The deck on which a construction material, such as sand or gravel, is loaded, is usually manufactured to have sufficient stiffness. In order to easily load and unload the construction material loaded on the deck, the deck is installed to rotate in a backward direction relative to the dump truck and to ascend. A loading bay, such as a combination of a floor type deck 100 and an eye end cylinder 110 or a combination of a frame type deck 120 and an outer cover cylinder 130, as illustrated in FIG. 1, is mainly used. Here, the top of the eye end cylinder 110 is connected to a cylinder hinge of the floor type deck 100, and the bottom of the eye end cylinder 110 is connected to a sub frame. A lower-side bracket of the outer cover cylinder 130 is connected to a lower pocket face of the frame type deck 120, and the bottom of the outer cover cylinder 130 is connected to a sub frame. The combination of the floor type deck 100 and the eye end cylinder 110 has a simple structure, is light-weight and is cheap. However, due to weak torsional stiffness, when the loading bay is lifted in an inclined place, the loading bay may be turned over and thus, reinforcement of the deck is required. The combination of the frame type deck 120 and the outer cover cylinder 130 has large torsional stiffness and high adjustment stability, and any special reinforcement of the deck is not required. However, it has a complicated structure, is heavy and is expensive. For these reasons, dump trucks made in Korea usually use the combination of the floor type deck and the eye end cylinder, and dump trucks made in countries other than Korea usually use the combination of the frame type deck and the outer cover cylinder. For example, various types of loading bays are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,357,457, Korean Patent Laid-open Publication No. 2007-0045079, Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 2007-331677, and Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 06-191341.

The trigger of the camera comprises two stages. In the first stage, the signals of nine channels are summed. This sum-signal is clipped to suppress effects of baseline fluctuations in case of high noise conditions. A comparator converts this signal into a a digital signal. Four of these signals are again summed and discriminated slightly below the threshold for a single input signal. This second step mainly reduces fake triggers from noise of the electronics itself by suppressing too short trigger signals. Changing the comparator thresholds, the dependence of the total trigger rate on the threshold settings can be investigated. For low thresholds the rate is dominated by noise and photons from the diffuse night-sky background. For high thresholds, random triggers by artificial coincidences are suppressed, and only simultaneously arriving photons from cosmic-ray induced showers will trigger the system. #### Results For rates above 10MHz, the system saturates. Below, the trigger rate is dominated by random coincidences of night-sky background photons turning into triggers caused by coincident photons from cosmic-ray induced showers. To prove the stability of the gain over a longer time-period and its independence of the ambient light condition, several ratescans have been taken between March and July 2012 with changing light conditions. Fig. \[fig:Ratescans0V\] shows 26 ratescans taken with light conditions ranging from dark night to almost full moon ($\approx 90\%$). It is visible that the shower induced part of the curves is independent of the ambient light conditions corresponding to a stable gain. More on measured current, light condition, trigger threshold and rate can be found in [@bib:threshold; @bib:ratescans; @bib:moon]. Conclusion ========== The camera of the FACT telescope is now operated since 20 months and has proven the applicability of silicon photo sensors in real-life focal plane installations, in particular, in Cherenkov telescopes. To achieve a stable operation, of the applied Geiger-mode avalanche photo diodes, a feedback system adapting the applied voltage according to temperature readings and the measured current has been developed. Three different methods to measure the gain of the system directly or indirectly were applied. They show consistent results on gain-stability. The presented results are limited by the calibration procedure of the bias voltage system, which is currently improved. The most precise and direct method, the extraction of the dark count spectrum, has shown a long-term stability over several months under changing temperature conditions at the few percent level

9 The Secretary or his delegate shall, to the extent he deems it practicable, cause officers or employees of the Treasury Department to proceed, from time to time, through each internal revenue district and inquire after and concerning all persons therein who may be liable to pay any internal revenue tax, and all persons owning or having the care and management of any objects with respect to which any tax is imposed. 10 Section 7602 gives the IRS a more specific grant of authority. By it, the IRS is empowered to examine records and witnesses (secured by summonses, if necessary) for the purpose of determining the correctness of returns and the liability of those who fail to make returns. In essence, section 7602 gives the IRS the necessary tools to effect the broad mandate of section 7601. Section 7602 reads as follows: 11 For the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of any return, making a return where none has been made, determining the liability of any person for any internal revenue tax ... or collecting any such liability, the Secretary or his delegate is authorized- 12 (1) To examine any books, papers, records, or other data which may be relevant or material to such inquiry; 13 (2) To summon the person liable for tax or required to perform the act, or any officer or employee of such person, or any person having possession, custody, or care of books of account containing entries relating to the business of the person liable for tax or required to perform the act, or any other person the Secretary or his delegate may deem proper, to appear before the Secretary or his delegate at a time and place named in the summons and to produce such books, papers, records, or other data, and to give such testimony, under oath, as may be relevant or material to such inquiry; and 14 (3) To take such testimony of the person concerned, under oath, as may be relevant or material to such inquiry. (Italics ours.) Taxpayers Compliance Measurement Program 15 The enforceability of an IRS summons pursuant to a TCMP audit was the subject of a recent opinion in United States v.

------ xgbi Serious question: what's to salvage from the brain of a terminal brain cancer child? This strikes me as a very silly way to preserve a human being. If they really wanted to give their child a "chance" to live a full life, they should have cryogenized her sooner, no? (It might be illegal, though.) ~~~ listic Personally, I'm with you on this. Cryonically suspending a person that died from brain damage or debilitating disease has even more fleeting chance for success. Unless there's a chance that at the moment of death the conscience is still there (due to great redundancy in the brain), it might be futile, after all. This is one issue that I believe all cryonics companies and advocates prefer to wholly overlook. I imagine it should be terrifically hard to let go of your child and ' _kill_ ' them preemptively, for them to have a hope of later life. Even if the parents did even consider that option. As far as I see it, cryopreserving a person that is not legally dead (' _cryothanasia_ '?) _might_ be possible, but no cryonics company has procedures in place to arrange for it and I am not aware of anyone that has been preserved this way. At least, it is necessary to move to a country where voluntary euthanasia is legal and the associated autopsy is not mandatory, and you are on your own with this. [1] This is another issue that cryonics companies and advocates prefer to overlook. Cryonics is still very niche as it is. People are still very reluctant to arrange for cryopreservation beforehand, as it is. Cryonics companies have their hands full with just continuing to operate and convincing people to use their services. For there to exist people that are _fully rational_ about their own or their loved ones' death, and think about it more deeply than the cryonics companies and advocates, is a whole next step entirely: I am unaware of such people yet.

\"N9: above all, patients just need to feel that they can just talk; it's about them ... how things get sorted out, wee things and feelings get picked up\" The motivator to overcoming any uncertainly was the development through interaction of the patient-nurse relationship (which was valued highly where it existed). Nurse participants recognised that a patient's emphasis upon the 'expert' 'knowing best' created an imbalance in their relationship. Participants revealed how they created and sustained meanings and understandings of healthcare and nursing by talking about their changing expectations and beliefs and relating them to the present day. Meanings emerge in local contexts and situations through interaction with others, and wider historical understandings are drawn upon to do so \[[@B48],[@B49],[@B52]\]. The emergence of meanings is an achievement in everyday life in which meanings are created and sustained in performance in interaction \[[@B50]\]. For the participants, creating and sustaining meanings and understandings emerged in, and of, interaction as it took place. In the process of creating meaning within interaction, patients and nurses draw upon the past to perform in the present -- an evolutionary process in which the past articulates with the present. In this process, some past meanings are sustained and new meanings are created about how to perform in interaction. Their expectations and beliefs have or are changing as a consequence of their contemporary experiences: \"P9: It's daft when you think about it... only going to the health centre when you're ill... it's no called the illness centre. Years ago health didn't come into it much at all... as they say; the future of the community depends on health. At least now, things are more open... like mental health. Nurses have much more to do now... they're trained for it ... they work alongside other people like the doctor rather than separate.\" Comments such as these represented a largely positive view of changes in community healthcare, and identify what were seen as positive aspects of the evolving role of the nurse and transformation in healthcare: \"N12: I know that some people attending the health centre are quite baffled by who does what now until they get used to it. A lot of that relates to the extended roles we \[nurses\] have, and the specialist roles that are designed to meet patient' needs ... although I don't think they always realise that. I suppose it has become very different over the last few years\" Patients have

While many products are transported in packages or containers, many other products are transported in bulk where the desired amount of product is placed into the vehicle that is to be used to transport the product. The vehicles typically used to transport bulk products include trucks, trailers, rail cars, carts, wagons, and other various containers with open tops. These vehicles typically include an open top to facilitate placing the bulk product into the vehicle. To reduce the potential of product falling out of the vehicle as the vehicle is moved and to reduce the potential of the product being damaged by environmental factors, it is customary to place a cover over the open top of the vehicle. To facilitate placing the bulk product into the vehicle, the cover is typically retractable such as rolling up. An example of one such cover is marketed under the designation SRT-2 by AgriCover such as is illustrated in FIG. 1. This tarp system uses the tarp to pull the roll tube across the hopper as it rolls up the tarp. An internal torsion spring in each spool (similar to a garage door spring) is preloaded to provide tarp tension in the closed position. As the tarp is being rolled up and begins to grow in diameter, the roll tube begins moving faster than the cable is unrolling and the spools begin to turn slightly on the roll tube, winding the spring even tighter. This increase in speed occurs because the tarp diameter becomes larger than the spools and the roll tube moves farther per revolution than the spools whose circumference remains the same. To close the tarp, the motor reverses and the torque tensioned spools “reel in” the cable, pulling the tube back across the hopper. Other side roll-up tarp systems are marketed by Michel (FIG. 2) and Shur-Co., the assignee of this patent application, under the designation Super Duty Swing Arm Electric System (FIGS. 3-4). Both of these tarp systems use extension springs and spools that are rigidly mounted to the roll tube. Michel's tarp system uses a tapered grooved spool and Shur-Co uses a narrow, flat bottom, grooveless cable spool. Both systems pull cable from a side mounted tube at a 90° angle as the roll tube moves across the caps. Both systems unroll cable from their respective spools as the tarp is opened. Both systems' roll tubes move further than the amount of cable unrolled, which

At the Berlin Radio Show in August 1931, Ardenne gave the world's first public demonstration of a television system using a cathode ray tube for both transmission and reception. (Ardenne never developed a camera tube, using the CRT instead as a flying-spot scanner to scan slides and film.) Ardenne achieved his first transmission of television pictures on 24 December 1933, followed by test runs for a public television service in 1934. The world's first electronically scanned television service then started in Berlin in 1935, culminating in the live broadcast of the 1936 Summer Olympic Games from Berlin to public places all over Germany. In 1937, Ardenne developed the scanning transmission electron microscope. During World War II, he took part in the study and application of radar. In 1941 the "" of the "Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften" was awarded to Ardenne, and in January 1945, he received the title of "Reichsforschungsrat" (Empire Research Advisor). In the Soviet Union Von Ardenne, Gustav Hertz, Nobel laureate and director of Research Laboratory II at Siemens, Peter Adolf Thiessen, ordinarius professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin and director of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut für physikalische Chemie und Elektrochemie (KWIPC) in Berlin-Dahlem, and Max Volmer, ordinarius professor and director of the Physical Chemistry Institute at the Berlin Technische Hochschule, had made a pact. The pact was a pledge that whoever first made contact with the Russians would speak for the rest. The objectives of their pact were threefold: (1) Prevent plunder of their institutes, (2) Continue their work with minimal interruption, and (3) Protect themselves from prosecution for any political acts of the past. Before the end of World War II, Thiessen, a member of the NSDAP, had Communist contacts. On 27 April 1945, Thiessen arrived at von Ardenne's institute in an armored vehicle with a major of the Soviet Army, who was also a leading Soviet chemist, and they issued Ardenne a protective letter (Schutzbrief). All four of the pact members were taken to the Soviet Union. Von Ardenne was made head of Institute A, in Sinop, a suburb of Sukhumi

They are mostly promotional tools for me, otherwise I wouldn’t bother wasting more time on the computer with them. The newest fad that I like, are widgets. These cool looking “online ads” are bits of code that these social media sites allow you to paste your info onto blogs and any other online sources. Online Forums: the most obvious benefit to these is to network with your peers. A side benefit to this is that the photographers that you develop relationships with can end up in a link trade which helps with search engine rankings. Also, these are people that you can swap insights with, image critiques, and good company to go shooting with. I regularly participate on the Nature Photographers Network because these are people whom I consider to be my peers. Photo.net is also a great source for general information though I don’t actively participate on that site. A good idea to employ with these sites is to include your URL’s in your signature as a promotional tool for your website every time that you comment in addition to being link juice. I would also recommend spending some time on the photo business forums which are listed under the links on the right. I won’t elaborate on Flickr right now because I have serious reservations about the overall culture of that site. Twitter: Many people use this to “tweet” every detail of their personal lives, but I try to minimize that in favor of promoting my photography activities. I have some photographers on my follow list on Twitter so it’s a good word of mouth PR outlet. Twitter is pretty mainstream with the web 2.0 crowd so it is definitely worth investigating. Even art buyers follow photographers on Twitter so it’s an easy way to provide updates on what you’re doing professionally. Another cool thing about Twitter is the widget that you can put on your blog to help your readers keep up to date with you. Become a fan of my Facebook artist profile in order to enter a drawing for 10, 12×18 inch Lightjet Archival fine art prints of your choice. Facebook is another source where you can add your RSS feeds and mass-email people on your friends list. Almost everyone uses Facebook these days so if you have the right contacts then it could be worth your time.

That the Supreme Court does not extend this rule to instructions on included offenses, at least of the character involved here, seems clear from the following language found in People v. Chessman, 38 Cal.2d 166, 187-188 [238 P.2d 1001]: "As to crime (2), grand theft of an automobile, there is ample evidence ... to show that he intended to steal it. But, defendant says, the evidence would also permit the inference that he took the car with intent merely to deprive the owner of possession temporarily; i. e., the lesser offense of violation of section 503 of the Vehicle Code; and the jury should have been so instructed. ... If defendant wished to raise this contention, he should have requested an instruction as to the lesser offense and argued the matter to the jury." Here appellant neither requested the instruction nor argued the matter to the jury. In this respect his case is on all fours with that of Chessman. See also People v. Johnson, 99 Cal.App.2d 717, 727 [222 P.2d 335]; People v. Zabel, 95 Cal.App.2d 486, 489 [213 P.2d 60]; People v. Arguilida, 85 Cal.App.2d 623, 625 [193 P.2d 478]; People v. Dunlop, 79 Cal.App.2d 207, 211 [179 P.2d 658]. [3] Appellant's last contention is that the district attorney was guilty of prejudicial misconduct in commenting in his opening and closing arguments to the jury on appellant's failure to testify. No objection was made to these comments on the trial of the action. No motions were made to strike these remarks from the record or to instruct the jury to disregard them. It would seem that appellant is thus in no position to complain about them on appeal. (People v. Perry, 14 Cal.2d 387, 396 [94 P.2d 559, 124 A.L.R. 1223]; People v.

I would prefer to continue buying physical books because I like having them around the house (except for technical books which have a limited shelf life). That way I can read them again, give them to people, etc. I like the serendipity of looking at my bookshelf and rediscovering. But I don't keep newspapers or magazines. If I need access to their archives I'll pay for it. If I could subscribe for a reasonable fee on a DX that would be ideal. At the US prices for magazines and newspapers I can imagine subscribing to much more content if I had a DX.

It is caused by LIS1 haploinsufficiency, resulting from sporadic mutations in the LIS1 gene. LIS1 has been implicated in the platelet activating factor and cytoplasmic dynein pathways, but current evidence suggests that defects in the latter are responsible for the brain developmental disease.

Synthetic pyrethroids, a major insecticide group, are used worldwide to control agricultural and household pests. Mammalian metabolism of pyrethroids was substantially launched in the 1960s and 1970s by the research groups of Professor Casida and Sumitomo Chemical Co., which made great contributions to the elucidation of their metabolic fates. They showed that ester hydrolysis and oxidation play predominant roles in mammalian metabolism of pyrethroids and that rapid metabolism leads to low mammalian toxicity.

Despite overwhelming interest and investigation into the topic of vaginal cuff dehiscence, one variable that has not been well described in previous studies is the patient. Studies have shown that demographic factors such as obesity, smoking, and advanced age are associated with an increased risk of wound breakdown and wound infection; however, these studies focused on open abdominal incisions \[[@CR14], [@CR15]\]. The goal of our study was to evaluate if patient-related variables may play a role in the healing of the vaginal cuff. Through performing a retrospective, case-control study, we aimed to discern if, in addition to surgical factors, specific demographic and clinical variables predispose patients to vaginal cuff dehiscence following varying modes of total hysterectomy. Methods {#Sec2} ======= This study was a retrospective, matched, case-control study that examined demographic, clinical, and surgical characteristics of women who experienced a vaginal cuff dehiscence following total hysterectomy compared to women who did not experience this complication. Institutional review board approval was obtained from the University of Pittsburgh prior to initiation of the study. Pertinent *Physicians' Current Procedural Terminology Coding System*, 4th edition (CPT-4) procedure codes and *International Classification of Diseases*, 9th revision diagnostic codes were used to identify all women who had a repair of a vaginal cuff dehiscence at Magee-Womens Hospital, which is a large, urban, university-based teaching hospital, between January 2000 and December 2011. Surgeons included general gynecologists, gynecologic oncologists, urogynecologists, and gynecologists trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Patients were excluded if their primary surgery (hysterectomy) was not performed at our institution. Cases of vaginal cuff dehiscence were matched 1:5 temporally and by route of hysterectomy. Thus, for each case of dehiscence, diagnostic codes were used to identify the next five uncomplicated hysterectomies performed at Magee by the same route as the case. We controlled for route of hysterectomy as previous studies have shown an increased risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence following TLH compared to a vaginal or abdominal approach \[[@CR3]--[@CR9]\]. Five controls per case were obtained to maximize study size while appreciating that minimal statistical power is gained by increasing this ratio beyond 1:4 or 1:5 \[[@CR16]\].

Q: $X$ a normal r.v , calculating $\mathbb{E}(e^{\lambda X})$ $X\sim { \mathcal{N}( \mu , \sigma^2) } $ a normal r.v, $Y = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} $ The solution says $\mathbb{E}(e^{\lambda X})= \mathbb{E}(e^{\sigma \lambda Y}) e^{\lambda \mu} = e^{\sigma^2 \lambda^2 + \lambda \mu} $ But what I find is : $\mathbb{E}(e^{\lambda X}) = e^{ \frac{ \sigma^2 \lambda^2}{2} + \lambda \mu} $ I can't see that I made a calculation mistake: $ \mathbb{E}( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ) = \int y \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-y^2/2} $ which gives $Y$ ~ ${ \mathcal{N}( 0 , 1) } $ $ \mathbb{E}(e^{ \lambda Y} ) = \int e^{\lambda y} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-y^2/2} = e^{\lambda^2/2} \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-(y-\lambda)^2/2} = e^{\lambda^2/2}$ Now for $e^{\lambda X}$: $ \mathbb{E}(e^{ \lambda X} ) = \mathbb{E}(e^{ \lambda \sigma Y + \mu \lambda} ) $ $= e^{\lambda \mu}\mathbb{E}(e^{ \lambda \sigma Y } ) $ $= e^{\lambda \mu} \int e^{\lambda \sigma y } \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-y^2/2} $ $= e^{\lambda \mu + \mu ^2\lambda^2/2} \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-(y-\sigma \lambda)^2/2} = e^{\lambda \mu + \mu ^2\lambda^2/2}$ EDIT : I made a typing mistake, I meant : $= e^{\lambda \mu + \sigma ^2\lambda^2/2

In electronic chip carrier packages, moisture can cause various problems such as delamination, corrosion, formation of plated fiber shorts, chip cracking and debonding. This may result in yield loss and/or functional failure during assembly and reliability testing. Organic packages are particularly susceptible to moisture due to the hydrophilic nature of resins such as epoxies and polyimides when exposed to moisture, and are susceptible to the brittleness of glass reinforcement interfaces. U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,957 to Urushima shows a process for building/assembling a chip onto a flexible film member. The assembly process involves using a piece of resin, to encapsulate the wire bond leads and act to hold the chip to the film. While the purpose of this resin is in part to prevent corrosion/oxidation, and to mechanically protect the wire bond leads, it is used in an entirely different location and with a completely different purpose than the present invention. U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,957 describes the use of a wire bond encapsulant which is applied only to the wire bond area. The present invention, on the other hand, involves using a protective coating over substantially the entire assembled package including, chip, wires (if used), or solder joints and the chip carrier. U.S. Pat. No. 5,436,203 to Lin covers the concept of building an EMI shielded chip carrier package by shielding the chip and wire bonds. The bottom is shielded with a buried power plane or reference plane, and the top is shielded with a conductive encapsulate. The two shielding layers are electrically connected via plated thru holes. The chip and wire bonds are first covered with a non conductive encapsulant. Lin is different from the present invention for substantially the same reasons as Urushima above. U.S. Pat. No. 5,496,775 to Brooks discloses using stacked and bonded metal balls as the electrical connection points. The chip is enclosed in an encapsulation material. The primary function of the encapsulant material appears to be to provide mechanical support for the chip and ball towers. The encapsulation is performed in two steps. First, a layer of encapsulant is formed within a mold or cavity. Next, the ball stacked chip is placed in the cavity and additional encapsulant is flooded into the mold and around the stacked ball towers. These two encapsulant layers form part of the chip package. The primary subject covered by Brooks appears to be the concept of

Professional career 2009 Muñoz turned professional in September 2009, two weeks prior to the first stage of the LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament in California, in which she finished second and advanced to the final stage in December. Back in Spain, she received a sponsor's exemption into the 2009 Madrid Ladies Masters, and made her professional debut on 1 October on the Ladies European Tour (LET). After shooting a 64 (−9) in the final round, she won the three-round event on the first playoff hole, defeating former ASU teammate Anna Nordqvist with an eagle putt; Muñoz earned €50,000 and a three-year LET exemption. Following a rain-shortened one-round victory in Barcelona for €5,000 on the Banesto mini-tour in late October, Muñoz finished fifth at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament in December in Florida to earn full playing privileges on the LPGA Tour for 2010. She ended the year ranked 179th in the Women's World Golf Rankings. 2010 In her rookie season of 2010, Muñoz made the cut in her first eleven events, and won over $402,000 in LPGA competition with two top ten finishes. She made the top twenty in the three majors she played, was 30th on the money list, and 17th in scoring. Muñoz handily won the competition for LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year with 704 points; the runner-up was compatriot Beatriz Recari with 419. She won an additional €26,380 in five events on the Ladies European Tour (total 2010 LET earnings were €96,633 in seven events, with €70,253 from the two events co-sanctioned by the LPGA). Muñoz ended the year at 41st in the world rankings. 2012 Muñoz notched her first LPGA Tour victory at the Sybase Match Play Championship in Gladstone, New Jersey with a 2 and 1 victory over Candie Kung. In the semifinal round of match play against Morgan Pressel, Muñoz trailed by two through 11 holes. Pressel appeared to have won the 12th hole, which would have given her a three-hole lead over Muñoz, but a slow-play penalty was ruled against Pressel. Muñoz ended up winning the semifinal match against Pressel, 2 and 1. The victory in May vaulted Muñoz from 27

--- abstract: 'The finite time end of entanglement between two decohering qubits can be modified by local, unitary actions performed during the decoherence process. Depending on the time when such action is taken, the end can be speeded up or slowed down, or even averted all together. This phenomenon offers practical applications for the stabilization of entangled quantum states. Details concerning hastening or delaying the finite time end of entanglement are presented for two qubits which decay spontaneously into statistically independent reservoirs.' author: - 'A. R.  P. Rau$^{1*}$, Mazhar Ali$^2$ and G. Alber$^2$' title: 'Hastening, delaying, or averting sudden death of quantum entanglement' --- Entanglement is a key feature of the quantum physics of more than one particle. From its historical beginnings [@EPR] to the current practical interest in it as a core resource for the field of quantum information sciences [@Nielsen], this property of quantum systems continues to fascinate and to shed new light onto the nature of our quantum world. The fields of quantum computing, quantum cryptography and key distribution [@QKD], and quantum teleportation[@teleport] all rely on having entangled states of two qubits. Since each qubit is inevitably subject to decoherence and decay processes, no matter how much they may be screened from the external environment, it is important to consider possible degradation of any initially established entanglement. In particular, there has been increasing discussion of what has been called “sudden death", a finite time when the entanglement disappears even under decoherence mechanisms which may be only asymptotic in time [@end; @Eberly; @Almeida]. Clearly, such finite time disappearance of entanglement can seriously affect its application in any of the above fields. It is well known in the context of spontaneous emission processes [@spontaneous] or delayed choice experiments [@delayed], for example, that characteristic quantum phenomena and effects of decoherence can be influenced significantly by suitable actions, such as measurements. Therefore, it would be of interest if A(lice) and B(ob), the two members of the entangled pair, can take suitable individual actions when faced with the prospect of loss of entanglement to postpone that end. Some studies on changing the initial state into an equivalently entangled but more robust state have been carried out [@initialization]. In this Letter, we deal with the more direct question that, even given an initial state and a set up which will

Discussions concerning the academic, political, and aesthetic aspects of culturism Thursday, July 10, 2008 Hollinger's "postethnic" ideal and culturism David Hollinger’s Postethnic America: Beyond Multiculturalism is one of the most famous books on diversity in academia today. Hollinger seeks to gently guide us away from the excesses of multiculturalism, without abandoning our modern appreciation of cultural pluralism. But he does not really guide us anywhere. Rather than going "beyond multiculturalism," we need to turn in a culturist direction. His term “Postethnic” denotes a concept by which we can both maintain and transcend our heritage. The “ethnic” part recognizes that there is some diversity and allows you to choose to identify with it. The “post” part means you recognize that the ethnic identites are not solid. I share his enthusiasm for ethnic intermarriage and agree that the government should ditch ethnicity boxes on its forms. But his "postethnic" idea is too easy. He is really just a fancy multiculturalist. Hollinger says, to avoid balkanization, we need to have culturally neutral “civic nations." Herein, he commits a serious multiculturalist fallacy. The West has a culture. Democracy, separation of church and state, freedom of speech and thinking females should have rights are not universal. The multicultural idea that Western nations are just neutral spaces for random cultures to congregate denies our heritage and undermines our soveriegnty. Hollinger notes that warrior Masai masters treat their women with less respect than cattle. Clitoridectomy and Saudi values do not accord with those of western feminists. But once people with such values move here, Hollinger assures us that we will be able to talk them into human rights culture via “intersubjective reason.” This means all diversity will naturally and quickly give way to Western values without any culturist policies because diversity is apparent, but not real. Unlike multiculturalists, culturism takes culture seriously. Basic cultural disagreements exist and conflict happens. Some cultures value education less than others. Some prize big families that start at early ages. Some cultures have seriously anti-Western values. Some believe in polygamy. Some cultures applaud criminality, some are violent. Hollinger's idea that "we can all just get along" because competition and diversity don't really exist,
