The theory and methodology for concurrent design and planning of reconfiguration fixture
A methodology for concurrent design and planning of adaptable fixture configuration and computer aided design of fixturing systems is presented. Emphasis is put on the analytical considerations involved in the optimization for the design of the locators, clamps, and supports. The accessibility/detachability condition, determination condition, and force-assemblability condition of positioning by a set of locators are derived for workpieces with smooth analytical surfaces and for prismatic components. The relative form closure is defined on the basis of geometrical reasoning, and is achieved in terms of locators and clamps. Difference performance indices are proposed in order to select the optimum placement for the locators, clamps and supports. An approach to examining the relative form closure conditions for fixturing systems is adopted based on the J-junction concept, and the corresponding procedure for computer aided planning systems including analysis and synthesis functions of fixturing systems is developed. Details of the definition and properties of the J-functions are given, together with their applications to geometrical reasoning using simplified examples of fixturing system design and configurations planning.<<ETX>>

Simple Ways to Avoid Calling for AC Repair This Winter
January 27, 2016
Simple Ways to Avoid Calling for AC Repair This Winter
Winter has arrived and right now you're counting on your air conditioner more than ever. One of the easiest ways to keep your air conditioner running efficiently is to keep up on annual maintenance and tune-ups. There are also a couple basic things you can check on yourself that might keep you from being left in the cold and in need of an emergency AC repair.
1. Keep Air Vents Open - There's wrong information out there about closing off vents in empty rooms. In theory, it appears as though would save on energy bills. However, closing off vents actually puts an increased strain on your system that can lead to issues in the future. Interior walls are not insulated and the temperature in the room then goes to other rooms in your house, making an imbalance and causing your system to work less efficiently.
2. Check Your Thermostat - Sometimes when your air conditioner isn-t working correctly, the problem is very easy - drained batteries in your thermostat. Usually, your thermostat will give a warning around a month before the battery runs out, but if you missed it, that may be the cause of your heating issues.
3. Are your vents blowing coldair instead of warm? There might be a simple explanation for it. Check and ensure your thermostat is set to "heat" instead of "cool". You never know who has been playing around with the thermostat.
Your thermostat has a fan setting. If you notice that your system is always blowing air, you may have your fan set to "on" versus "auto". The "on" switch always keeps your fan blowing, regardless if your AIR CONDITIONER is currently heating. The "auto" switch only keeps the blower running when the air conditioner is heating your home. Keep in mind, if you keep your switch set to "on" you'll have to exchange your filters more often. This then leads to...
4. Change Your Air Filter - A dirty filter is the most common reason a heating system breaks down. Dirt and debris keep air from passing around your system and that can possibly cause your air conditioner to overheat. Swapping your air conditioner filter is the easiest way to help possibly extend the life of your heating system and avoid AC repair.
Along with these easy tips, the best advice is to keep up with annual, scheduled air conditioner maintenance. If you haven't arranged your annual air conditioner service yet, you can easily arrange an appointment by giving us a call at 303-452-4146.

Methods and means of increasing operation efficiency of the fleet of electric motors in non-ferrous metallurgy
Arranging efficient operation of the fleet of induction motors (IM) in non-ferrous metallurgy is a large-scale technical and economic problem. In scientific aspect, the problem is being solved in the framework of two research lines: in developing criteria for the efficient operation of the branch IM fleet and towards the development of methods and tools for implementing the IM fleet efficient operation. The article presents the results of the authors’ work in the mentiond areas. The basis for developing criteria for efficient operation is modeling of current operational states, taking into account the IM operational aging processes. The existing methods and models are poorly focused on fixation of the changes caused by operational aging. There exists a demand for special methods and tools for modeling the IM operational conditions. A mathematical model based on Kolmogorov equations is one of these tools. The system graph and equations of the mathematical model are given. An example of a practical calculation of the no-failure operation probabilities at different rates of repair operations is given. It is stated that the offered mathematical model can serve as an instrument for developing criteria of the IM pool efficient operation. The system of periodic operational diagnostics is ment to be a key element in enhancement of the IM fleet operation efficiency. A topological method worked out for the problems of operational diagnostics is focused upon analyzing the dynamics of operational changes taking place in the IM vector space. The matrix of current deviations is a medium of objective and reliable information about the current IM technical condition. Matching the matrices of current and limiting deviations allows us to make several essential conclusions concerning the IM technical state. The reported study was funded under as a part of state assignment (project number, FSWF-2020–0019), as well as at the expense of RFBR (project number, 20-01-00283).

The absurd human is aware not only of the limits of reason but also of el guardagujas juan jose arreola absurdity of death and nothingness that will ultimately be his el guardagujas juan jose arreola her fate.
Awareness of the absurd human condition can come at any moment, but it is most likely to happen when, suddenly confronted by the meaninglessness of hectic daily routine, he or she asks the question "Why?
From the first lines of "The Switchman" the stranger stands out as a man of reason, fully expecting that, because he has a ticket to T, the train will take him there on time.
The Switchman
But it soon becomes apparent from the information provided him by his interlocutor that el guardagujas juan jose arreola uncertain journey he is about to undertake is a metaphor of the absurd human condition described by Camus. Thus, the stranger's heavy suitcase symbolizes the burden of reason he carries about, and the inn resembles a jail, the place where others like him are lodged before setting out on life's absurd journey.
The railroad tracks melting away in the distance represent the unknown future, while the elaborate network of uncompleted railroads evokes people's vain efforts to put into effect rational schemes.
Another episode involves a trainload of energetic passengers who became heroes absurd heroes in Camusian terms when they disassembled their train, carried it across a bridgeless chasm, and reassembled it on the other el guardagujas juan jose arreola in order to complete their journey.
And the conductors' pride in never failing to deposit their deceased passengers on the station platforms as prescribed by their tickets suggests that the only certain el guardagujas juan jose arreola destination is death, a fundamental absurdist concept.

• The Switchman (El Guardagujas) by Juan José Arreola, |
• The biggest internet trends, by email
In the final lines of Arreola's story the assertion of the stranger now referred to as the traveler that he is going to X rather than T indicates that he has become an absurd man ready to set out for an unknown destination. El guardagujas juan jose arreola image immediately thereafter of the tiny red lantern swinging back and forth before the onrushing train conveys the story's principal theme: Why, then, does the switchman vanish at this moment?
He vanishes because el guardagujas juan jose arreola has fulfilled his role as the stranger's subconscious by not only asking the Camusian question "Why?
Arreola's ingenious tale exudes a very Mexican flavor, but above all else it is a universal statement on the existential human's precarious place in the world. McMurray Pick a style below, and copy the text for your bibliography.
Retrieved November 23, from Encyclopedia. In their view, their elaborate system, which includes accommodations for years-long trips and even for deaths, is very good.
The switchman then tells a story of certain train rides when the trains arrived at impossible locations. Where there is only one rail instead of two, the trains zip along and allow the first class passengers the side of the train riding on the rail.
The Switchman - Wikipedia
In areas where no rails exist, passengers simply wait for the unavoidable wreck. In some cases, new towns, like the town of F.
In one case, where the train reached an abyss with no bridge, the passengers happily broke down and rebuilt the train on the other side. The railroad management was so pleased that they decided to suspend any official bridge building and instead encourage the stripping and recreation of future trains.
The stranger still wishes to travel on his train to T. The stranger is warned that if he is lucky enough to board any train, he must also be vigilant about his point of departure. The railroad company occasionally creates false train stations in remote locations to abandon people when the trains become too crowded.
As the stranger is very interested in el guardagujas juan jose arreola, the switchman once again encourages the stranger to try his luck, but warns him not to talk to fellow passengers, who may be spies, and to watch out for mirages that the railroad company generates.
Lecturas errantes: El Guardagujas, de Juan José Arreola
When the stranger asks the switchman how he knows all of this, the switchman replies that he is a retired switchman who visits train stations to reminisce about old times.
He has not ever traveled on a train and el guardagujas juan jose arreola not plan on doing so. Suddenly, a train approaches and the switchman begins to signal it.

Continuous terbinafine and pulse itraconazole for the treatment of non-dermatophyte mold toenail onychomycosis
Abstract Introduction Although dermatophytes are considered the predominant causative organisms in onychomycosis, non-dermatophyte mold (NDM) infections may be more prevalent than originally thought and may be more difficult to treat. There are limited data of oral antifungal efficacy in treating NDM onychomycosis. Method A retrospective chart review (2009–2016) was conducted in patients receiving continuous oral terbinafine or pulse itraconazole for toenail onychomycosis due to NDMs. Mycology results and percent nail affected were recorded with patient characteristics including demographics and concurrent diseases. Complete, clinical, and mycological cure were tabulated. Results Data from 176 patients were collected. Mycological and complete cure rates for terbinafine (69.8% and 17%) and itraconazole (67.5% and 22%) were not significantly different from each other. Regardless of oral treatment, age (p = .013), baseline severity (p = .016), and presence of atherosclerosis (p = .040) or hyperlipidemia (p = .033) decreased the likelihood of mycological cure, while age decreased the likelihood of complete cure (p = .001). Conclusion Continuous terbinafine and pulse itraconazole were similar in efficacy for curing NDM onychomycosis. Age was the most consistent prognostic factor affecting likelihood of cure, with factors that may influence drug reaching the site of infection also decreasing likelihood of mycological cure.

Updated on February 27, 2013
Furniture with pottery pitcher and bowls predated the modern day bathroom sink and mirror.
During the 1800s and into the 1900s, in each bedroom you would find a table or dresser designed special for daily hygiene needs.
It would hold a large bowl to use as a basin and a large pitcher to pour water from.
The furniture would be designed with an attached mirror and dowel rods on the side to hold towels.
Some of the furniture items were as fancy and ornate as a complete dresser with a marble top to a simple stand.
Shaving for men would likely include another stand or a table top shaving mirror that would be adjustable between two post.
A drawer(s) would be built in to hold the shaving equipment, while the shelf above the drawer would hold the shaving cup.
Men used a straight blade shaver and a shaving cream soap that would be mixed in a cup and applied to the face using a shaving brush.
The stand would also include a place to hang a leather strap also known as a “Strop”. The leather strop was used to sharpen the razor blade, but as many know growing up in that era, the strop was also used for spanking the children.
Complete bathing was normally a weekly event that was done in the kitchen. A large tub would be brought in and filled with water heated on the cook stove.
Because the water was hand pumped and then heated, the family all shared in the same water starting with the parents down to the youngest child.
In between bath days the pitcher and bowl would be used to take sponge baths in the bedrooms.
To save a trip to the outhouse in the middle of the night people would use a chamber pot that was also made of pottery or granite coated metal.
What is rather amazing is that in those days was the amount of clothing that people wore in homes and at work with no air conditioning. Most of this clothing was very heavy using a lot of wool.
Today most people bathe daily wearing much less layers of clothing, well you get the drift.
These old relics have become antique collector items, some of them are being reproduced while others are still being used by the Amish.

ORCID ID Source of Scholarly Identity: A Pakistani Librarians Awareness
The Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID) ID is a unique author identification for the bibliographical record maintaining source. This is a thematic paper based on qualitative methodology deep sight reviewed different papers about the ORCID ID. Its role in scholarly communication and the publishing industry. The research findings show the awareness of Pakistani scholars about the ORCID and found 5020 ORCID ID account holders which seem very low awareness about the ORCID ID. Libraries and Librarian roles are also discussed about the promotion awareness of author identification sources. This study is helpful to librarians to include ORCID ID in their respective information literacy sessions. Pakistani researcher can secure their profile and avoid duplication of ID’s. This is the first study about the ORCID ID in the Pakistani context it will help to know Pakistani authors, researchers, scholars to known about one of the most emerging author identification tools having 12.1 million author/researcher records.

Lack of concordance between physician and patient: reports on end-of-life care discussions.
OBJECTIVE
To study the effectiveness of patient physician communications regarding health care choices at the end of life. We studied communications occurring between physicians and their patients who had either terminal cancer or congestive heart failure, with less than 6 months to live.
METHODS
This pilot study used in-person interviews with 22 physicians and 71 of their (matched) patients. Subjects provided paired responses to questions regarding their conversations related to end-of-life care, including resources, attitudes, and preferences. We calculated the concordance of patient and physician reports about these discussions. We examined the physicians' and the patients' agreement on the patient's diagnosis, and on whether a variety of care options were discussed. We then measured whether physicians' were aware of their patients' preferences for pain management and for place of death. Finally, we measured physicians' knowledge of whether religious/spiritual concerns or financial concerns had affected their patients' decisions regarding end-of-life care. Both bivariate and multivariate models were used.
RESULTS
As a whole, the concordance scores were poor; however, concordance varied across domains of issues discussed. Patients with less education had significantly lower concordance scores.
DISCUSSION
We have identified domains in which the physicians and patients may be least effective in discussing end-of-life care options. Findings may help in designing interventions to improve communication, especially for patients with less education.

The Scariest Thing About Ebola
The home shared by the Liberian man and four people is a nest of infectious materials, where cleanup was delayed by more than a week due to a bureaucratic snafu. State health department officials apologize.
In Liberia, the U.S. assistance President Obama promised several weeks ago has been slow to arrive, according to The New York Times, "and logistical glitches have prevented the United States military from being able to quickly set up the hospitals and treatment centers needed to halt the virus." The general in command says it will take "several weeks" before the U.S. military is fully responsive to the months-old crisis.
Once again, Americans are reminded of the limits of U.S. social institutions—in this case various state, local, and federal government agencies and private-sector health systems that responded to the Ebola crisis slowly, inefficiently, and with a lack of candor that Americans, unfortunately, have come to expect.
Steadily, over the past four decades, the nation has lost faith in virtually every American institution: banks, schools, colleges, charities, unions, police departments, organized religion, big businesses, small businesses and, of course, politics and government. A Pew Research Center survey in October 2013 found trust in government at a near-record low. While specific federal agencies received generally high marks (including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Americans continued to lose faith in the presidency, Congress, and the two major parties.
Recommended Reading
In short, the United States faces crises of leadership and trust. Which, to me, is the scariest thing about the Ebola outbreak. I'm far less worried about the disease striking me or my loved ones than I am about what this incident says about the nation's ability to survive a true cataclysm. Whether the next existential event is Ebola or ISIS or any of the countless 21st-century horrors, we are only as strong as our institutions—and our trust in them.
Eighteen days ago, the president said, "I want the American people to know that our experts, here at the CDC and across our government, agree that the chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low." Once the disease crossed into the United States, a phalanx of administration officials sought to reassure the public.
"The system that's in place, with our health care infrastructure, would make it extraordinarily unlikely that we would have an outbreak," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Most of these public- and private-sector entities were created in the 19th century; they were expanded and contorted in the 20th century; and they're maddeningly ill-equipped for the 21st century. This indictment includes the media, an institution democratized by technology and thus desperate—prone to exploit any crisis in search of conflict, clicks, and cash. Thanks again to new technology, Americans today are both better informed and subjected to more hype.
Why does any of this matter? During the 2012 presidential campaign, I wrote a story called "In Nothing We Trust" that sought to capture the cause and effect of institutional decline. From Muncie, Ind., I wrote:
Ebola is a serious threat, but it's not the disease that scares me. What scares me is that fact that we can't trust the institutions that are supposed to deal with such threats, and we can't trust the men or women who lead them. Which means they can't help us.

Gerdkooh Hills
Gerdkooh ancient hills (Persian: تپه باستان گردکوه) consists of three hills, the tallest of which is 26 m in height. Their history has been estimated to date back to the Iron Age. The hills are located in Qaem Shahr in Mazandaran Province. In exploring this area, a 4500-year-old grave has been found, as well as objects such as disposable tableware dishes related to the Parthian Empire and Sasanian Empire. There is evidence that the hills at the time of the Sasanian Empire and Muslim conquest of Persia were part of a Castle.

Defining user risk in social networking services
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the risks faced by users of online social networking services (SNSs) in the UK and to develop a typology of risk that can be used to assess regulatory effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach – An initial investigation of the literature revealed no detailed taxonomies of risk in this area. Existing taxonomies were reviewed and merged with categories identified in a pilot survey and expanded in purposive sample survey directed at the library and information services (LIS) community in the UK. Findings – Analysis of the relationships between different risk categories yielded a grouping of risks by their consequences. This aligns with one of the objectives of regulation, which is to mitigate risks. Research limitations/implications – This research offers a tool for evaluation of different modes of regulation of social media. Practical implications – Awareness of the risks associated with use of online SNSs and wider social media contributes to the work of ...

Human Action Recognition With Trajectory Based Covariance Descriptor In Unconstrained Videos
Human action recognition from realistic videos plays a key role in multimedia event detection and understanding. In this paper, a novel Trajectory Based Covariance (TBC) descriptor is proposed, which is formulated along the dense trajectories. To map the descriptor matrix to vector space and trim out the redundancy of data, the TBC descriptor matrix is projected to Euclidean space by the Logarithm Principal Components Analysis (LogPCA). Our method is tested on the challenging Hollywood2 and TV Human Interaction datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed TBC descriptor outperforms three baseline descriptors (i.e., histogram of oriented gradient, histogram of optical flow and motion boundary histogram), and our method achieves better recognition performances than a number of state-of-the-art approaches.

Comparative Forage Yield of “Poor” Versus “Good” Grass Stands under Different Soil Fertility Regimes in Northeastern Saskatchewan
ABSTRACT Forage yield and its response to fertilizers are affected by the condition of forage stands. A field experiment was conducted on a Gray Luvisol (Typic Croyoboralf) soil at Pathlow in northeastern Saskatchewan, from 2004 to 2006, to determine if low forage yields in “poor” grass stands are due to nutrient deficiencies, other soil properties and/or species composition, and to determine if forage dry matter yield (DMY), protein concentration (PC), and protein yield (PY) in these areas could be improved by fertilization. The four fertilizer treatments: no fertilizer—nil, plus three combinations of increasing amounts of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) fertilizers (i.e., 45 kg N + 10 kg P + 12.5 kg K + 5 kg S ha−1; 90 kg N + 20 kg P + 25 kg K + 10 kg S ha−1; and 135 kg N + 30 kg P + 37.5 kg K + 15 kg S ha−1) were applied annually to the same plots in early spring of 2004 and 2005. The lower forage yield in “poor” compared to “good” grass stand areas was most likely due to differences in plant species composition, although other factors such as soil fertility and compaction may have also contributed to lower DMY. There was a significant response of DMY, PC, and PY to applied N, P, K, and S fertilizers in both “good” and “poor” grass stands in both years. The DMY, PC, and PY in the first year (2004) continued to increase up to the highest fertilizer rate used in this study, but in the second year (2005) there was no increase in total DMY in both grass stands, and in PC and PY in “good” grass stand with application of fertilizer blend beyond the 90 kg N + 20 kg P + 25 kg K + 10 kg S ha−1 rate. Fertilizer application for two years also increased the proportion of smooth bromegrass in both stands, indicating that proper nutrient management may increase the proportion of smooth bromegrass (high yielding grass species) in the “poor” growth area, thereby improving forage yields. Overall, the findings indicate that forage yields and quality in “poor” grass stand areas can be improved considerably by applying fertilizer nutrients that are lacking in the soil. Also, the significant responses observed in the “good” grass stand areas suggest that these regions of the field can also benefit from additional fertilization.

Most people have the business, the plan and the imagination, yet they often experience a lot of limitations when interested how to make a website. There are many additional requirements for business owners nowadays, such as having a good website that will have all the information in one place for the customers to see. It is not necessary to work with a full service SEO firm in the early stages, but you should have SEO consulting and SEO training. In most cases, a business website is launched without regard to SEO and then an SEO firm is bought into the game later on to look for onsite optimization opportunities. Links that reside on the actual website and inbound links that are pointing to your site are both extremely important.
The URL structure will tell you a lot about the person who worked on it, because in many cases the URL is a long string of words and characters and can be very messy. IM Creator is a simple and effective online tool that has the great capability to build an fantastic website in just few minutes that too for free of cost. The website you create using IM Creator is already Google friendly you no need to hire any SEO expert or SEO specialist to get you’re SEO work done. You just need to go to their website and choose the design whichever you like or if you want to start an website from blank, they also have the best tools to get you started creating website from the starting stage.
Next after choosing an amazing template or design for your website, now you can customize it with great content, unique text, attracting pictures and embed stunning videos on your website to make it more glamorous so that people can like your website .
Once you’re done creating your website, then you can publish the website on the internet which you have created using IM Creator by linking it to an existing domain or by purchasing a new domain name for your website.
If you have experience creating a website before, you’re probably no stranger to multiple sites that offer web creation services. But if you’re looking for a one stop shop that offers web creation, hosting, and domain name registration in one place, you can use IMCreator to build a free website. Unless you are a professional web developer, choose from one of the templates they already have. Once you have made your choice, the fun begins. Web pages for offices and professions would benefit greatly from pictures showing their facilities, their staff, or samples of their work. Examples of these are galleries of school faculty, specialist doctors in a hospital, completed architectural designs, or gym equipment. Visual representations of the office, products or services your website may contain greatly influence people’s and potential clients’ perceptions. If you are unsure of your photography skills, consider hiring a professional to produce images your website will use. Editing the text on the web pages is just as easy. Texts are contained in text boxes just like in MS-PowerPoint.
Resize the text box if the text is more than what it can hold. Click, drag and drop to reposition the text box. The top of the web editor page contains a button that allows you to manage (add or remove) pages. A second button marked ‘add an element’ allows you to add videos, text boxes, pictures, slideshows, widgets and many more. Publishing is as easy as hitting the blue ‘publish’ button on top of the edit screen, typing your domain name, and clicking ok. You are now the proud owner of a new website. Now that you know how easy it is to use IMCreator to build a free website, you can maintain your new web, create new ones for yourself and maybe even offer to create one for a friend. If you enjoyed this post, please consider leaving a comment or subscribing to the RSS feed to have future articles delivered to your feed reader. There are obviously a lot of missing answers, so plenty of individuals have no clue how to bring their companies to the Internet, not to mention about taking their businesses to the next level.
Even though this is so important, there are still businesses out there that don’t have a website.
Implementing SEO into the site architecture right from the start means that you are starting out on the right path instead of putting SEO off to worry about at a later date down the road. You should understand though that the time that a site sits un-optimized is a wasted opportunity.
A strong internal linking structure not only helps your visitors navigate through your site easily in order to find what they are looking for, but it also has an SEO benefit. Relatively short URL that includes a few keywords means that an SEO Specialist worked on it.
IM-Creator is powered by Amazon and Google, creating robust and reliable strong base for your website. The website is already search engine optimized so that you can just start posting the content and move on. For sure, you will not find a better site that offers a more comprehensive web creation service. This is not a matter of being smart or intelligent, but a matter about being technologically savvy.
Some business owners create a website, but it is often not well optimized so there is the obvious need for change. Incorporating SEO into the initial website development process is beneficial since content automatically has ranking potential. If your site is launched with SEO in mind right from the start, it means that the search engine spiders are seeing the content on the page and within the meta information that will help it to rank.
You should know that homepage is not the only one with the potential to rank in the search engines, but it’s likely that the homepage will get the majority of inbound links.
It can be a huge hassle to re-write URLs since it involves redirecting the URLs to ensure that link trust remains intact. They also give the ability to you to start a website from beginning or scratch with lots of tools and elements to make your website stand out of the crowd.
Below you can find the information about how you can create you’re own website in just 3 simple steps. Anyone who is just starting a business and wants to create a website needs to know that SEO techniques should be implemented from the beginning. Your website will gain popularity and advantage over your competition and you will get lots of business opportunities. As long as you link from one page to another page of the site, it spreads out the link trust across the site.
If you can create search engine friendly URLs from the start, it will save you a lot of trouble in the future. These days its quiet natural for everyone to own a personal website and let their family, friends and relations know what they are doing and how they are connected with the online world. As long as you also get Google Analytics up and running on the site from day one, you will be able to see important data regarding which keywords are driving traffic from early on in the process.

Quantifying the Zonal‐Mean Structure of Tropical Precipitation
The tropical zonal‐mean precipitation in climate models is well known to have substantial biases such as an erroneous double intertropical convergence zone in the Pacific, but a comprehensive quantification of these biases is currently missing. Therefore, we introduce a set of nine indicators that fully characterize the position and magnitude of the tropical extrema in zonal‐mean precipitation. An analysis of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) historical and Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations reveals large biases in the position and, especially, in the magnitude of the zonal‐mean precipitation extrema in both sets of simulations relative to observations. We find some of the nine indicators to be correlated, and that the structure of tropical precipitation can be well represented using four indicators, though these indicators are different in AMIP and CMIP. Previously defined indicators can only partly explain the biases, and so the more comprehensive terminology introduced here is a useful tool for characterizing tropical precipitation.

Previously defined indicators can only partly explain the biases, and so the more comprehensive terminology introduced here is a useful tool for characterizing tropical precipitation.","abstract_count":156,"abstract_language":"en","abstract_perplexity":-13.85376089561532,"extfieldsofstudy":["Geology"],"provenance":"pes2o_v2-0004.json.gz:998791","s2fieldsofstudy":["Environmental Science"],"sha1":"4e81e57e5d638dcb46dcdf3ca2c094b3acfebb74","sources":["ScienceParsePlus","MAG","MergedPDFExtraction","Wiley","Unpaywall"],"title":"Quantifying the Zonal\u2010Mean Structure of Tropical Precipitation","title_count":7,"title_language":"en","title_perplexity":-15.300683682159807,"top_frequencies":[{"count":12,"token":"the"},{"count":9,"token":"of"},{"count":7,"token":"in"},{"count":5,"token":"and"},{"count":4,"token":"tropical"},{"count":4,"token":"indicators"},{"count":3,"token":"zonal\u2010mean"},{"count":3,"token":"precipitation"},{"count":3,"token":"is"},{"count":3,"token":"to"},{"count":3,"token":"biases"},{"count":3,"token":"a"},{"count":2,"token":"well"},{"count":2,"token":"comprehensive"},{"count":2,"token":"these"},{"count":2,"token":"nine"},{"count":2,"token":"that"},{"count":2,"token":"position"},{"count":2,"token":"magnitude"},{"count":2,"token":"extrema"},{"count":2,"token":"precipitation."},{"count":2,"token":"Model"},{"count":2,"token":"Intercomparison"},{"count":2,"token":"Project"},{"count":2,"token":"simulations"},{"count":2,"token":"be"},{"count":2,"token":"can"},{"count":1,"token":"Quantifying"},{"count":1,"token":"Zonal\u2010Mean"},{"count":1,"token":"Structure"},{"count":1,"token":"Tropical"},{"count":1,"token":"Precipitation"},{"count":1,"token":"The"},{"count":1,"token":"climate"},{"count":1,"token":"models"},{"count":1,"token":"known"},{"count":1,"token":"have"},{"count":1,"token":"substantial"},{"count":1,"token":"such"},{"count":1,"token":"as"},{"count":1,"token":"an"},{"count":1,"token":"erroneous"},{"count":1,"token":"double"},{"count":1,"token":"intertropical"},{"count":1,"token":"convergence"},{"count":1,"token":"zone"},{"count":1,"token":"Pacific,"},{"count":1,"token":"but"},{"count":1,"token":"quantification"},{"count":1,"token":"currently"},{"count":1,"token":"missing."},{"count":1,"token":"Therefore,"},{"count":1,"token":"we"},{"count":1,"token":"introduce"},{"count":1,"token":"set"},{"count":1,"token":"fully"},{"count":1,"token":"characterize"},{"count":1,"token":"An"},{"count":1,"token":"analysis"},{"count":1,"token":"Coupled"},{"count":1,"token":"(CMIP)"},{"count":1,"token":"historical"},{"count":1,"token":"Atmospheric"},{"count":1,"token":"(AMIP)"},{"count":1,"token":"reveals"},{"count":1,"token":"large"},{"count":1,"token":"and,"},{"count":1,"token":"especially,"},{"count":1,"token":"both"},{"count":1,"token":"sets"},{"count":1,"token":"relative"},{"count":1,"token":"observations."},{"count":1,"token":"We"},{"count":1,"token":"find"},{"count":1,"token":"some"},{"count":1,"token":"correlated,"},{"count":1,"token":"structure"},{"count":1,"token":"represented"},{"count":1,"token":"using"},{"count":1,"token":"four"},{"count":1,"token":"indicators,"},{"count":1,"token":"though"},{"count":1,"token":"are"},{"count":1,"token":"different"},{"count":1,"token":"AMIP"},{"count":1,"token":"CMIP."},{"count":1,"token":"Previously"},{"count":1,"token":"defined"},{"count":1,"token":"only"},{"count":1,"token":"partly"},{"count":1,"token":"explain"},{"count":1,"token":"biases,"},{"count":1,"token":"so"},{"count":1,"token":"more"},{"count":1,"token":"terminology"},{"count":1,"token":"introduced"},{"count":1,"token":"here"},{"count":1,"token":"useful"},{"count":1,"token":"tool"},{"count":1,"token":"for"}],"year":2017},"source":"s2","version":"v3-fos"}

Children's emotion recognition and aggression: A multi-cohort longitudinal study.
Difficulty recognizing negative emotions (NEs) in children is linked to increased antisocial traits and externalizing problems. However, crucial aspects of this relation remain unclear, such as: whether NE recognition is associated with externalizing problems in general or only a particular subcomponent (i.e., aggression); whether subcomponents of NE recognition (i.e., insensitivity and misspecifications) are relatively more important; and how these relations change over the course of development. We assessed emotion recognition, overt aggression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms in an ethnically diverse sample of Canadian children (N = 150; 4-year-olds, N = 148; 8-year-olds) and followed up with them 1 year later (86.9% retention). Emotion recognition was assessed using a behavioral task and caregivers reported on children's externalizing symptoms. Children with lower NE recognition had higher initial, but not subsequent, overt aggression, even when controlling for nonaggressive externalizing symptoms (i.e., ADHD and ODD symptoms). NE recognition was not concurrently or longitudinally associated with nonaggressive externalizing symptoms. Age and gender did not moderate these findings. Both higher NE insensitivity (e.g., reporting a sad face appears neutral) and misspecifications (e.g., reporting a sad face appears angry) were significantly associated with higher concurrent overt aggression. In conclusion, both NE insensitivity and misspecifications were found to be uniquely important for children's overt aggression. These findings highlight the importance of different forms of NE recognition and differentiating between aggressive and nonaggressive externalizing problems in children.

Fourier Transform Infrared Imaging of Stereoregular Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Dissolution
Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging was used to study dissolution of stereoregular poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films in toluene, benzene, chloroform, acetic acid, and 2-ethoxyethanol. Images of the polymer–solvent interface showed that syndiotactic (sPMMA), atactic (aPMMA), and isotactic (iPMMA) samples dissolved in acetic acid and chloroform; only iPMMA dissolved in benzene, toluene, and 2-ethoxyethanol. Concentration profiles allowed quantitative comparison of each polymer–solvent system. In the cases of chloroform and acetic acid, the rate of polymer dissolution increased with increasing isotacticity. Dissolution of PMMA in chloroform was observed to coincide with development of strong polymer–solvent interactions. The results of systems containing toluene, benzene, and 2-ethoxyethanol reflect kinetic effects on dissolution, including solvent size and stiffness of the polymer backbone.

Heinrich Rudolf Hertz
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (22 February 1857 – 1 January 1894) was a German physicist. In 1888 he discovered the radio waves previously predicted by Maxwell's equations. He also proved that light is a kind of electromagnetic waves. The unit for frequency is named after him.
Hertz was born in Hamburg in 1857. He studied engineering in Frankfurt and later at the University of Munich. He completed his PhD at the University of Berlin. He taught and continued research at the University of Bonn and University of Kiel.
He died from blood poisoning in 1894.

The relation between uncooled arrays pixel size and optics in the long-wave infrared
Over recent years, the pixel size of uncooled thermal detectors has kept shrinking, going from 50 μm in the last decade to 17 μm today. The latest generation of detectors, with 12 μm pixel pitch and smaller, come with a new set of challenges. In this paper, we investigate the link between pixel size and optics cost and performance by relying on a well-defined framework and concrete examples. First, we briefly clarify the relationship between the reduction in pixel size and requirements on the optics, from both the radiometric and the resolution point of view. Within this framework, we study the effect of decenter corresponding to current state-of-the art manufacturing on performance and price of lenses. Finally we demonstrate that reducing the pixel size indirectly leads to much more demanding lenses. As the new generation of 12 μm pixel pitch arrays are emerging in the long wave infrared, lenses will become more complex and harder to manufacture. Consequently, optics with equivalent levels of performance can become more expensive.

Negotiating differences: cosmopolitan experiences of international doctoral students
Drawing on the literature on international student experiences and identities, this study discusses theories of identity from a social constructionist perspective. ‘Identification’ is the preferred term to describe a dynamic process through which students negotiate the meaning of their identities in different societies and communities. Based on interviews with 35 international doctoral students from two graduate schools in Germany, the article illustrates the significance of international mobility for education when external ‘differences’ are appreciated and contribute to cosmopolitan imaginations and when internal differences are created in relation to ‘Others’ in the host society. The article contributes to the literature on international student mobility by providing a fine-grained analysis of student identification, showing how the discourse of difference is used as a double strategy.

A Conceptual Framework for Representing Business Functions and Their Role in the Quality of E-Banking Services
E-banking is growing more and more as banks shift their processes and services from traditional means to leverage emerging technologies and to seize maximum possible opportunities of the digital economy. However, to benefit from the services provided and sustain profits and success over time, organizations should maintain a strong relationship with their customers and ensure their loyalty by providing services with high levels of quality to satisfy or even exceed their needs. In this paper, we studied the business units within a bank and other stakeholders that are involved in shaping the E-banking quality and illustrated these functions in a conceptual framework to represent how they relate to the service quality. This representation shows that everyone is responsible for achieving the desired quality level, and success sustainability is achieved by collaborating the efforts between all stakeholders inside and outside the organization.

Jean Claude Van Damme’s Son Nicolas Charged with Aggravated Assault for Allegedly Holding Roommate at Knifepoint.
TMZ reports that Jean-Claude Van Damme’s youngest son, 21-year-old Nicholas Van Varenberg, was arrested for holding his roommate at knifepoint. The arrest happened Sunday in Tempe, Arizona. Police were called to check on him because he punched an elevator in his building. They found blood leading to his apartment. After they spoke to Van Varenberg and his roommate, they found out he hurt his hand.
Twenty minutes after police left, the roommate ran downstairs and said that Van Varenberg held him at knifepoint. He claimed that Nicholas was upset that the roommate opened the door for police. Police searched the apartment and found the knife and marijuana.
Van Varenberg was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful imprisonment, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Point Made, We Suppose
Our little blog has now passed into a new realm of significance. Once we got a link at Slate. Here and there we've been linked at other big-time sites for silly reasons. For awhile a picture that we had reposted of a certain gigantic, outdoor sculpture in our area climbed to the top of the "Google Images" listing for a certain set of key words.
But now Ken Ham has taken us to task on his celebrated blog. After years of openly criticizing Answers in Genesis when it suited the SWNIDish purpose, we have been "refuted" (the term of a staffer at AIG) by Mr. Ham. He left a comment here and then developed it at his own blog, which as far as we can tell doesn't receive comments.
What to say about all this? Well, we make it a point not to respond point by point, and it's especially apt not to do so when Mr. Ham is as demonstrably stubborn in his views, persistent in his tendentious interpretations of what he reads, unable to engage in thoughtful discussion of issues, and unaware of the way that he functions socially. That is to say: (a) we know that we won't persuade him: (b) he misunderstands us about as much as he misunderstands the Bible, though with less consequence for the former than for the latter; (c) in responding as he has, he confirms for those not already persuaded by him that he is aggressive in his own criticism of others but unable to accept any criticism of himself; (d) he is somehow persistently unaware that he cannot say that people are unfaithful to God's word because they disagree with his views and at the same time say that he isn't making his views a test of faith.
But there is one point to be made, we suppose. Ham and those who follow him style Christian criticism of their organization as placing "stumbling blocks" before what would otherwise be a more effective evangelistic ministry. We're on record as disagreeing with that, most vociferously. By feeding the media machine a steady diet of press releases and events presenting an extremely young earth as indisputable biblical truth, Ham himself sets a stumbling block for anyone with the scientific savvy to understand just how unlikely such a thing is. There's no way to count such things, of course, but one doesn't have to go far to see Christianity ridiculed for believing what interpreters of the Bible as early as Augustine understood that the Bible does not say.
We think that Ham is so convinced that his approach to creation issues is so consistent, so logically watertight, that he need never give a thought to the merits of others' positions except to "refute" them. He seems frustrated by the fact that other people who claim to believe the Bible disagree with him, we suspect because he cannot fathom that others are not as persuaded by his views as he is.
Very well. We mock ourselves with the title of our blog and the pompous persona with which we write. Others may act on whatever measure of self-awareness they possess on such matters.

Perhaps SWNID should stick to criticiaing REAL ENEMIES of Christianity -- people like Martin Luther or Alexander Campbell.
Dr. Love said...
Being mocked, for many, is a spiritual discipline. You should take up an offering in order to continue this ministry.
Jim Shoes said...
I remember comments on earlier posts that mentioned the fear that many pastors in the Cincinnati area felt as AIG weaponized popular opinion against anyone who disagreed.
There's a particularly vile video loop in the museum that portrays a milquetoast preacher mouthing theistic-evolutionist platitudes while a mother tries to deal with her defiantly fidgety children in the pew. The implication was that if your pastor sounds like this, your kids will grow up disobedient. Nice.
So let's see what happens when people stand up to the bully.
Micah said...
I'm amazed that he can say with a total lack of (intended) irony that nobody at CCU is willing to "uphold the authority of God's Word" in the same blog post that he says that many wonderful pastors and theologians disagree with him.
If they don't "uphold the authority of God's Word," by what standard are they a wonderful pastor or theologian?
Anonymous said...
Yeah, Ken Ham and his AIG ministry single handedly destroyed my home church by focusing on questions and theology that does not matter. In my opinion, he's a straight pseudo-scientist who (literally) got his degree from the mail.
Anonymous said...
Does not SWNID, in a way, do the almost same thing in saying that Ken Ham persistently misunderstands the Bible and, with his insistence on a literal view of the Genesis account as the only valid view, put a stumbling block for many? Is SWNID not saying that he is being unfaithful to the intention of the Word of God? Or is SWNID that this is a test of faith? Or is their a subtle difference that this anonymous reader has overlooked.
The point of my question is this: is it not possible for someone to be unfaithful to the Word of God in some point, and still be Christian? Could Ken Ham's supposed error in this not be justified if his original view (regarding the necessity of a literal view of Genesis) were considered correct by SWNID?
A legitimate question, gentle anonymous person.
We split the hair thus:
SWNID decries the Hamish position not just because it is wrong but because Ham uses it as a wedge to separate Christian from Christian. Were Ham not so constant in describing all who depart from his view as unorthodox (not unsaved, mind you, but but his soteriology and ecclesiology are no more out of whack than many evangelicals'), we wouldn't bother to comment on him at all.
But then he wouldn't have a multimillion-dollar museum and such. It's not his position alone that raises the money, or even the concept of a museum to promote it. It's the rhetoric that makes his view the linchpin of the gospel. It's essential to everything he does to say that his way is the only way. "True from the very first word": like SWNID thinks the Bible is true except where it isn't. Sheesh.
Ham can have the SWNIDish blessing (sarcasm alert: SWNID does not have authority to grant blessings) as long as he doesn't act in so divisive a way as he has lo these twenty or so years past. Our breath will not be held in anticipation.
So yes, "almost," and there is a distinction not to be missed.
Note well that in pointing out how Ham puts a stumbling block in the way of evangelism, he does so not by believing or even advocating a young earth but by saying that a young earth is THE ONLY WAY to understand the Bible. So, says someone who knows the geology and astronomy and paleontology, I can therefore never believe the Bible.
Differently: we think Ham's young-earthism is wrong. But there's nothing exceptional about that. We think his mode of advocacy for it is dangerous to the church. That's exceptional, though sadly not unique.
On the side, we are glad to see more in the community standing up to Ham. Like the homeschooling convention that banned him from their conventions for his divisive rhetoric. See Wikipedia.
We happily report that the ripples of this altercation between us and him have been barely noticeable. No one much seems to care that SWNID isn't a Hamite.

The Military ACL
Abstract Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in the U.S. Military Service members have a 10‐fold higher incidence than that of the general population due to the physically demanding aspects of military duties. Although some controversy exists on the specific techniques or reconstruction, these injuries are uniformly reconstructed due to the requirements of their occupation and the effect of these injuries on their future careers. As such, understanding the care of the military Service member's ACL may help optimize the care of the physically active injured knee.

Microfluidic Chip with Sandwich Structure for Terahertz Spectra of Glycerol
we adopt the microfluidic chip technique to detect liquid samples through THz- TDS system. The microfluidic chip has a sandwich structure which comprises cover, substrate and microchannel layer. The materials of cover and substrate is cycloolefin copolymers (zeonor 1420R), which has a very high transmittance for THz wave, and the microchannel layer is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Through van der Waals force, the cover, substrate and microchannel layer are sealed together. The cover and substrate have the same thickness, that is, 1.5mm, and the length, width and depth of the microchannel are 30mm, 80um and 50um, respectively. The size of detection area of THz wave in the microchannel is 3.5mm in diameter. Using the microfluidic chip to detect the glycerol with a concentration of 98%, and the experimental results prove the feasibility of this method.

Feehery: Freedom Caucus follies
Feehery: Freedom Caucus follies
© Greg Nash
Ah, the Freedom Caucus.
As former President Barack ObamaBarack Hussein ObamaWhy did it take so long for Trump to drain the swamp of Pruitt? President Trump is tougher on Russia in 18 months than Obama in eight years Obama in Kenya for launch of sister’s sports center MORE might have said, this was a teachable moment for President Trump.
I am tempted to ask the question of this querulous, rebellious, iconoclastic collection of right-wing dunderheads: freedom from what?
Legislating? Good sense? Constitutional government? Republican majority status?
The Freedom Caucus is what remains of the Tea Party after Trump took over the best parts.
The Tea Party was a rebellion against the status quo, against Obama, against the Republican establishment, and against business as usual in Washington, D.C. Trump was presidential manifestation of that movement.
And like Trump, the Tea Party movement was not nearly as anti-government, nor libertarian nor classically conservative as some of its benefactors would have liked.
Tea Party adherents didn’t want Medicare or Social Security privatized, or more tax cuts for the rich, or a smaller government that couldn’t control our country’s borders.
It’s not abundantly clear what the Freedom Caucus is for, and that is the essential challenge for the Trump White House. We do know what they are against, and that seems to be any deal put before them at any time by any leader. And that seems to answer the question asked earlier. They want the freedom to vote no on everything.
But that raises the question: How does the Republican majority govern when that majority is made by fellows who always vote no?
Here are five options:
1. Ignore them. President Trump can go tell the Freedom Caucus to go pound sand, but only if he decided to pursue a broadly bipartisan agenda that garners wide support in both the House and Senate. Such an agenda would include huge investments in infrastructure, a bipartisan immigration reform bill, tax relief for middle class Americans and an anti-poverty agenda. The downside to pushing this strategy is that there is no evidence that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will play nice with the president. She might be the most partisan minority leader in the history of the House, and she has little interest in bailing out her Republican colleagues.
2. Offset them. White House chief of staff Reince Preibus hinted that the president might seek to outflank the rebels by offsetting them with conservative Democrats in the House and the Senate. This would allow Speaker Paul RyanPaul Davis RyanGOP lambasts Trump over performance in Helsinki Trump stuns the world at Putin summit Former Trump aide says he canceled CNN appearance over 'atrocious' Helsinki coverage MORE (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-Ky.) to produce a conservative-light agenda with some sweeteners added to entice them to the table. The obvious flaw in that strategy is that because of redistricting, there are no Blue Dogs left in the House, so there would be nobody to negotiate with to produce such an agenda.
3. Humiliate them. The president hinted at this during the healthcare negotiations. He campaigned in Kentucky in an effort to throw a brushback pitch at Sen. Rand PaulRandal (Rand) Howard PaulLewandowski: Trump-Putin meeting advances goal of world peace Rand Paul to travel to Russia after downplaying election meddling Implementation of a 'universal basic income' program would be a disaster MORE’s (R-Ky.) head. He also threatened to go after Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) in North Carolina, although in an exceedingly gentle fashion. To get the attention of these members, he will have to do more than make appearances in their districts or states or tweet at them. He will have to fund a campaign to attack them directly, with paid advertising and perhaps with some help from Breitbart News. But Breitbart has been an unreliable ally, and I have my doubts that such a campaign would much more than make them heroes to their constituents.
4. Threaten to beat them at the ballot box. One option would be to declare that to be a member of the Freedom Caucus is to be a member of a different party, kick caucus members out of the GOP and off of committees, cut them off from fundraising and mount electoral challenges in general elections. That could be enough to scare enough of them to leave the caucus and provide enough votes to give Ryan a governing majority.
5. Accede to their demands. The president could just do what the Freedom Caucus wants and pass a repeal bill without a replacement, pass tax cuts without any reform elements, get rid of huge chunks of government, kick all illegal aliens out of the country, breach the debt limit. The problem, of course, is that all is this is very risky politically and could usher in a Democratic majority in the House in two years. Of course, if that were to happen, the Freedom Caucus would be free to do what it does best, vote no on everything.
Feehery is president of QGA Public Affairs and blogs at www.thefeeherytheory.com.

[Mortality and worsening of prognosis for patients with aortic stenosis while on the waiting list].
In a prospective study, 99 consecutive patients with an operative indication due to severe aortic stenosis (AS) were put on a surgical waiting list. The waiting time to aortic valve replacement (AVR) averaged 6.3 months (0.5-19 months). There were 58 men and 41 women with a mean age of 61 years (21-82 years). The patients were divided into three groups: group 1 (N = 81) with an uneventful stay on the waiting list; group 2 (N = 11) with significant worsening of a prognostic index; and group 3 (N = 7) with patients who died during the waiting time. The waiting list death rate was 13.5%/patient-year compared with a post-AVR death rate of 4.9% patient-year (p < 0.05) with a mean post-AVR follow-up of 5.7 years. According to a prognostic index (Cox regression model) at inclusion, group 2 patients had a predicted 7-year post-AVR survival probability of 72%, but only of 61% according to their prognostic index immediately preoperatively; their observed 7-year post-AVR survival was 60%. Logistic regression analysis identified high age, short duration of symptoms, signs of severe hypertrophy and strain in the ECG, female gender, and deranged left ventricular diastolic function (related to severely increased left ventricular muscle mass) as independent predictors of prognostic worsening and death while on the waiting list. The predictive models did not allow sufficiently accurate identification of the patients at risk during the waiting period. The consequences of a surgical waiting period averaging 6 months are serious for AS patients. The death rate is high and a subgroup worsens its prognostic profile with a significantly reduced post-AVR long-term survival as the result.

Low-bitrate distributed speech recognition for packet-based and wireless communication
We present a framework for developing source coding, channel coding and decoding as well as erasure concealment techniques adapted for distributed (wireless or packet-based) speech recognition. It is shown that speech recognition as opposed to speech coding, is more sensitive to channel errors than channel erasures, and appropriate channel coding design criteria are determined. For channel decoding, we introduce a novel technique for combining at the receiver soft decision decoding with error detection. Frame erasure concealment techniques are used at the decoder to deal with unreliable frames. At the recognition stage, we present a technique to modify the recognition engine itself to take into account the time-varying reliability of the decoded feature after channel transmission. The resulting engine, referred to as weighted Viterbi recognition, further improves the recognition accuracy. Together, source coding, channel coding and the modified recognition engine are shown to provide good recognition accuracy over a wide range of communication channels with bit rates of 1.2 kbps or less.

Together, source coding, channel coding and the modified recognition engine are shown to provide good recognition accuracy over a wide range of communication channels with bit rates of 1.2 kbps or less.","abstract_count":161,"abstract_language":"en","abstract_perplexity":-13.85120645921478,"extfieldsofstudy":["Computer Science"],"provenance":"pes2o_v2-0000.json.gz:1462381","s2fieldsofstudy":["Computer Science","Business"],"sha1":"d45dfc26ce69dfb16b5a2646c6217c84df757b9f","sources":["MAG","CiteSeerX","Crawler","AMiner","Anansi","DBLP","Unpaywall","ScienceParseMerged","Grobid"],"title":"Low-bitrate distributed speech recognition for packet-based and wireless communication","title_count":9,"title_language":"en","title_perplexity":-15.220140115027633,"top_frequencies":[{"count":8,"token":"the"},{"count":7,"token":"recognition"},{"count":7,"token":"channel"},{"count":7,"token":"to"},{"count":4,"token":"speech"},{"count":4,"token":"for"},{"count":4,"token":"and"},{"count":4,"token":"a"},{"count":4,"token":"as"},{"count":3,"token":"coding,"},{"count":3,"token":"coding"},{"count":3,"token":"are"},{"count":3,"token":"with"},{"count":3,"token":"of"},{"count":2,"token":"distributed"},{"count":2,"token":"communication"},{"count":2,"token":"present"},{"count":2,"token":"source"},{"count":2,"token":"decoding"},{"count":2,"token":"erasure"},{"count":2,"token":"concealment"},{"count":2,"token":"techniques"},{"count":2,"token":"or"},{"count":2,"token":"is"},{"count":2,"token":"shown"},{"count":2,"token":"we"},{"count":2,"token":"technique"},{"count":2,"token":"at"},{"count":2,"token":"engine"},{"count":1,"token":"Low-bitrate"},{"count":1,"token":"packet-based"},{"count":1,"token":"wireless"},{"count":1,"token":"We"},{"count":1,"token":"framework"},{"count":1,"token":"developing"},{"count":1,"token":"well"},{"count":1,"token":"adapted"},{"count":1,"token":"(wireless"},{"count":1,"token":"packet-based)"},{"count":1,"token":"recognition."},{"count":1,"token":"It"},{"count":1,"token":"that"},{"count":1,"token":"opposed"},{"count":1,"token":"more"},{"count":1,"token":"sensitive"},{"count":1,"token":"errors"},{"count":1,"token":"than"},{"count":1,"token":"erasures,"},{"count":1,"token":"appropriate"},{"count":1,"token":"design"},{"count":1,"token":"criteria"},{"count":1,"token":"determined."},{"count":1,"token":"For"},{"count":1,"token":"decoding,"},{"count":1,"token":"introduce"},{"count":1,"token":"novel"},{"count":1,"token":"combining"},{"count":1,"token":"receiver"},{"count":1,"token":"soft"},{"count":1,"token":"decision"},{"count":1,"token":"error"},{"count":1,"token":"detection."},{"count":1,"token":"Frame"},{"count":1,"token":"used"},{"count":1,"token":"decoder"},{"count":1,"token":"deal"},{"count":1,"token":"unreliable"},{"count":1,"token":"frames."},{"count":1,"token":"At"},{"count":1,"token":"stage,"},{"count":1,"token":"modify"},{"count":1,"token":"itself"},{"count":1,"token":"take"},{"count":1,"token":"into"},{"count":1,"token":"account"},{"count":1,"token":"time-varying"},{"count":1,"token":"reliability"},{"count":1,"token":"decoded"},{"count":1,"token":"feature"},{"count":1,"token":"after"},{"count":1,"token":"transmission."},{"count":1,"token":"The"},{"count":1,"token":"resulting"},{"count":1,"token":"engine,"},{"count":1,"token":"referred"},{"count":1,"token":"weighted"},{"count":1,"token":"Viterbi"},{"count":1,"token":"recognition,"},{"count":1,"token":"further"},{"count":1,"token":"improves"},{"count":1,"token":"accuracy."},{"count":1,"token":"Together,"},{"count":1,"token":"modified"},{"count":1,"token":"provide"},{"count":1,"token":"good"},{"count":1,"token":"accuracy"},{"count":1,"token":"over"},{"count":1,"token":"wide"},{"count":1,"token":"range"},{"count":1,"token":"channels"}],"year":2002},"source":"s2","version":"v3-fos"}

Two-rectangular-printed-spiral antenna with U-strip
The two-rectangular-printed-spiral antenna with U-strip is proposed. The increasing electrical length and impedance matching is performed by using two spiral arms and adding U-strip. There is no ground plane for this antenna structure. The size is relatively small. The measured return loss is -12.435 dB at 433 MHz with 5.455 % bandwidth (428-452 MHz). The measured absolute gain is about -5 dBi. The performance of this small antenna is efficient for many wireless applications especially wireless sensor networks of ITS.

The Bike Doctor NYC
A new kind of bike repair service
Bart Busschaert is a retired semi-professional racer who moved from Belgium to NYC a few months ago. Since them he has opened an innovative mechanical services company called the Bike Doctor NYC. His site allows you to schedule the good doctors time, and he will even pick and drop off your bike, or do your work at your house so you can learn from him. Dont forget to pepper him with questions about racing the pros while he is there, he has some amusing stories.
Bart still manages to get on his bike a few days a week and rip the legs off unsuspecting lunch time cyclist who might just assume they can hold his wheel, or thats what this guy I know told me happened to him. This is Bart’s first submission to the site, he will try and answer any follow up questions you have. You can also find him on Facebook where he frequently communicates with his clients.
Don’t let your brake pads rub on your rims
A part of the bike that is often neglected or overlooked is the brake cable. Most of us know that the brake is a crucial device to prevent us from crashing but only few realize that it can also have a tremendous impact on your performance as a competitive cyclist.
Any friction in the brake cable may cause the brake to prevent to return properly to the ‘neutralposition. The decreased distance between the brake shoes and the rim increases the chance of friction while riding. When riding at a steady pace you probably won’t notice much, but sometimes and that’s why it is especially important for racers the wheel tends to slightly move sidewards as a you will put your wheel in danger of rubbing u the brake shoe. This is especially true when you are in a break away, in a sprint or when you are riding on bad roads.
There are several reasons the smooth movement of a cable can be inhibited. The most important ones are dirt and a lack of lubricant, but also corrosion or of the inner cable and/or outer casing.
So what can we do about it?
1. Always check your brakes before you go out of the door! This is basically a matter of safety, but it also helps detecting problems in an early phase.
2. Inspect the cable for cracks or cuts after a crash or any other potentially harmfull event (e.g. transport,…).
3. Include the cables in your maintenance scheduleor ask your mechanic for it. Keeping the cables clean and regularly lubing the outer casing helps preventing sluggish movement or even seizure.
• Replace the cable is it is broken, frained, getting stiff or whenever you notice visible damage on the cable or outer casing.
• We would generally recommend to replace the cables at least once a year.
Tip: If you want to spend a little more to help reducing some of the maintenance described in this article, you may consider installing a coated cable set. This type of cables has it’s own coating and needs no lubricating.
Enjoy your rides !
Bike Doctor NYC
like the sound of it, but probably wrong pitch for this site, I think even squid 5s know how to check a brake cable. and is “frained” the same as frayed?
Actually I think he has a good point, it may be obvious to some but many racers don’t seem to look at there brake cables, and often think there is something wrong with their brakes or that they need new pads.
Bike Doctor NYC
I agree, the subject might be “too obvious” for experienced racers…however, a lot of mechanical trouble happens due to some sort of “negligence” (training is obviously taking most of your time)
If you still feel that this is just a little detail, I can asure you that you wont feel the brake pad rubbing the wheel right away…but you’ll pay in cash after 100miles!
Bike Doctor NYC
Thanks for the challenge, but my racing days are over and I’m out of shape. But I’ll be happy to meet you for a training ride!
Great idea, hope it goes well.
If I recall, none other than Lance Armstrong rode a good portion of one stage with a brake rubbing. Good advice….
My brakes feel like they’re rubbing all the time since I’m going so slow. Only, they’re not rubbing. What should I do?
Funny story: I used to ride with a guy who was always worried that his brakes were rubbing and would reach down to adjust them on the fly. One day he did that while descending and his thumb got caught between the fork and a spoke. Amazingly his finger didn’t break because it was exactly parallel to the spoke. Still, he wasn’t able to ride home and had to call an ambulance. The EMT on the scene was also a cyclist and after hearing the story says “Oh, I was going to tell you that it looks like your brakes are rubbing.

Chapter 117: Ruler of Darkness (1)
TL: Haku
Editor: Hungry Panda
Ian, who had returned to Ollibus Village again after many twists and turns, immediately went to Ikael's house.
Ikael warmly greeted Ian, who had returned.
"That's right, I definitely think preparations are complete."
After checking the pattern that was engraved on Ly's forehead, Ikael wore a satisfied expression.
"Yes. I think I've done everything that I can do."
At Ian's words, Ikael nodded his head.
"Good work, Ian. I should show you the place where Orvil is now."
Ikael paused a moment to take a breath, and Ian waited patiently for his next words.
His words continued.
"Orvil is sealed at the top of Moonlight Peak."
"Moonlight Peak?"
"That's right. Moonlight Peak is at the southernmost part of Forlas Plateau."
Ikael, who paused to take a breath, opened his mouth again.
"Have you never seen the peak that rises above the clouds, which is so sharp it's incomparable to any other peak?"
There was a place that Ian roughly assumed was correct.
He already knew the geography of Forlas Plateau well because of Harin's cooking ingredients.
'I think it's that place that Harin and I needed to turn around from last time after trying to go up because there was no path…'
Of course, he could go up if he just rode his Griffin, but at that time, because there was no reason to go up there like that, they had just passed by.
"Then if I go there, will I be able to find Orvil right away?"
Ikael shook his head.
"No, of course not. Wait a moment."
After speaking, Ikael pulled out a small pebble that let out a dim light from his chest and handed it to Ian.
"If you go up the peak and into the centre of the open space at the very top, there is an altar that will go up to about your waist. If you stick this stone in the middle of that, the barrier that surrounded the whole peak will lift."
Ian received the white pebble from Ikael and lifted it up.
The interesting thing was that he could barely feel a weight from the pebble.
"But do you have a way to go up there? It won't be easy to go up by climbing the wall."
Ian nodded his head.
He had Pin.
"Yes. I have a method, so you don't have to worry about that."
"Good, good."
"Anyways, by any chance, is there anything that I should be cautious of?"
"Hmm… Things you should be cautious of…"
After thinking about it for a moment, Ikael spoke.
"First of all, you'll need to go as fast as possible."
Ikael pointed to the sky.
As it was the evening, they could see the round moon that hung high in the sky all by itself.
"That's because two days from now, it will be a full moon. Once it's a full moon, all of Orvil's abilities will increase by almost double."
"I see."
It was definite that he was an opponent that would be a burden to face just as is, but for his stats to increase double the amount.
'I need to finish this before then no matter what.'
Ikael's words continued.
"However, don't go this instant, but go after the sun rises tomorrow morning."
"I'm assuming he gets stronger when it's just night as well."
At Ian's assumption, Ikael nodded his head.
"That's right. It's not necessarily that his stats become stronger at night, but he has an Inherent Ability that he can only use in darkness. If possible, fight him during the daytime."
"What is that ability that you're talking about?"
"It's an ability called 'Darkness Encroachment' that turns his whole body into pitch black fog. If Orvil goes into Darkness Encroachment state, it nullifies 70% of the attacks received."
Ian, who heard those words, grumbled to himself.
'I have no idea how long the duration is, but isn't this a fraud skill? Can I get this skill somewhere? This Darkness Encroachment or whatever…'
Ian, who heard a couple more matters that he needed to be careful of afterwards, firstly moved towards Forlas Plateau.
He had no intentions to fight him immediately right now, but because he was planning on going right up to the location and log out to try to fight him right away after logging in tomorrow morning.
'Orvil or whatever, I'm going to catch him quickly.'
"What? A festival?"
"Yeah, a festival."
"What does that have to do with me?"
While looking at Jinsung, who stared at him blankly with a puzzled expression, Yoohyun wore a dumbfounded expression.
"What do you mean what does that have to do with you, dude, are you not a student at this school?"
Jinsung slightly frowned.
"Is attendance mandatory? The time I spend attending classes is a waste for me right now as well, so do I really have to attend such a thing?"
At Jinsung's complaining, Yoohyun wore a troubled expression.
'What should I do? I don't know about the other guys, but I need to make Jinsung attend no matter what…'
The festival went on for three days, and although there was a lot of different things going on, there was one event that Jinsung was absolutely needed for.
That exactly was the E-sports competition that was opening on the second day during the track meet.
The E-sports competition was an event where departments were ranked based on their score with a total of ten different types of games, and there was an awards ceremony depending on the highest-ranking departments, with the prize money and benefits being quite big.
'Even if we don't get the prize, the expectations of the professors is quite big as well…'
As much as it was the first year that the department was formed, the professors were hoping for the existence of the VR department to become widely known in the school through the festival.
Yoohyun began to slowly persuade Jinsung.
"They're doing a E-sports competition on the second day at that festival, and if we win there, then a portion of scholarships will come out for the next semester…"
Had about ten minutes passed like that.
At Yoohyun's long and persistent persuasion, Jinsung eventually promised to come to the festival just on the second day.
'Still, since I'm a little interested in the E-sports competition.'
From hearing the explanation, there was not one game amongst the ten events including Kailan that Jinsung hadn't played.
With the intentions of playing the games from his past for the first time in a while, Jinsung also accepted Yoohyun's suggestion.
After actually thinking about it positively, he was looking quite forward to it.
"You could say all of the darkness cleared at this rate, right?"
Ian, who quickly ran home and logged onto Kailan as soon as his morning classes ended, mumbled as he looked up at the sky once.
It was about 11 o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already high up in the sky.
Amongst his Familiars, Ian summoned just Pin for now.
"Pin, Summon!"
Kku-ruk- Kkuk-kkuk-!
Pin, who was summoned, happily flew up to Ian and sat down.
As he was now bigger in size than even Ian, he couldn't sit on his shoulders or anything like that, but Ian still thought Pin was cute.
"Pin, please take me up to the top there."
As Ian got on top of his back, Pin carefully began to flap his wings.
Flap- Flap-.
He wasn't as skilled in riding on Pin's back yet, but still, compared to before, his posture had become more stable.
"Pin, do you want to try flying with a little more speed?"
As if Pin was waiting for Ian's words, he began to flap his wings faster little by little.
At the strong wind that suddenly blew in front of him, Ian quickly lowered his posture.
'Whew, Pin is really fast once he starts gaining speed.'
As the wind that blew from the opposite direction was too strong, he thought that he could just fall like that at the slightest slip up.
'If I fall from this height, then I will immediately fall to death.'
Ian moved the balance of his body here and there as he tried to adjust riding on Pin's back.
And shortly after, he was able to step foot on top of the incredibly high mountaintop.
"When you look at it from the bottom, it looks really sharp, but coming up here now, it's quite spacious. That's a relief."
From Ian's perspective, where he needed to manage multiple Familiars, it couldn't help but be unfavourable the narrower the space.
It was even more so at a place where it was immediately a thousand-mile cliff if they broke away from each other.
Ian summoned all of his Familiars.
And from his chest, he pulled out the pebble that he received from Ikael.
'So, this is the key that will lift the seal, huh?'
Ian strode up to the centre of the empty space.
And just like Ikael said, an altar-like thing that was short in height was there.
And as he approached it and checked the top of it, Ian was able to know the place that the pebble went into right away.
'It must be here, right?'
As he placed it in a small, round, groove-like place, the pebble rolled and was sucked into a place like a helix-type hole in the middle of the altar.
As a mechanical noise rang out from within the altar, Ian became slightly nervous.
However, as nothing else happened, he wore a flustered expression.
However, just then…
A white light began to ooze out from within the altar.
The Sealing of Forlas Darkness is invoked.
'What the hell? The seal is not lifted but invoked?'
Something was a little weird, but Ian, who checked the system message, took a couple steps backwards.
"Everybody prepare for battle!"
As he did so, in the next moment, a completely unexpected phenomenon began to arise.
Crack- Cra-cra-crack-!
Beneath Ian's feet, it began to crack.
"What the hell is this?"
And didn't the high-rising mountaintop begin to collapse downwards?
Thud- Thu-thud-!
Ian couldn't help but firstly Summon Release Ddukdae.
Ly, Lake, and Halli could ride the collapsing boulders here and there and not fall, but in Ddukdae's case, not only was his Agility too low to do that, but he was too big in size.
"Ddukdae, Summon Release!"
Ian, who Summon Released Ddukdae, hurriedly got on Pin's back.
And he diligently watched the Familiars, who jumped around frantically on top of the collapsing altar.
It was in order to immediately Summon Release them if they looked like they were going to even accidentally fall.
Ba-ang- Bang-!
As the giant peak collapsed, incredibly loud booms and clouds of dust spread out in every direction.
However, even despite that, Ian couldn't lose his mind.
'Since the seal has been lifted, the Orvil will definitely appear from somewhere!'
It was a situation where it was truly a relief that he could ride on top of Pin.
Ian eventually couldn't help but be forced to even Summon Release Lake, who was unable to move as nimbly as Halli or Ly and was falling between the boulders.
'Whew, this is a big problem. To have to fight Orvil without Ddukdae or Lake…'
And had about ten minutes passed like that?
The peak that had completely collapsed to the point that even its shape was unrecognizable had become a giant hill made of piles of stones.
"Pin, let me down."
And Ian also came down from Pin's back and stepped foot on top of the pile of stones.
'No, but when exactly is Orvil coming out?'
It was at that moment.
As a bizarre sound rang out, incredibly strong beams of purple light began to be sucked into the middle of the pile of stones.
With a dazed expression, Ian watched that scene.
This was because the beams of light that were being sucked in from every direction was presenting a grand sight much like a meteor shower.
The beams of light gathered in the middle of the boulder pile and formed a giant sphere.
And in the giant sphere of light, a dark shadow began to faintly appear.
'Is that… Orvil?'
Just when Ian was about to strengthen his eyesight and check the identity of the dark shadow within the light, the rays of light burst out in every direction while letting out a loud boom.
The boulders that flew out in all directions because of the explosion continuously smashed into Ian and his Familiars.
You have received a large impact. Your Vitality has been reduced by 970. You have received a large impact. Your Vitality has been reduced by 1225.
It wasn't a large amount of damage, but as his Vitality was cut down even before the battle began, Ian frowned.
'Damn it, what the hell?'
However, that wasn't the end.
A giant shadow rose from the spot where the pile of stones burst out from.
As Orvil's howl rang through the air, a shock wave exploded out in all directions.
'Dark Fenrir Orvil' has used Inherent Ability 'Darkness Emission'. As you have been afflicted by 'Darkness Emission', your Vitality has been reduced by 6718.
Ian shouted before he even realized.
"No, what kind of crazy damage is this?!"
Ly had gone into a critical condition from just one hit.
Because Halli and Pin didn't have as paper-like bodies as Ly, they still had over half of their Vitality left, but they had still definitely received a huge amount of damage.
And lastly, a system message that was just one line long additionally popped up.
The world has been encased in darkness.

Notes on Generalised Nullvectors in logarithmic CFT
In these notes we discuss the procedure how to calculate nullvectors in general indecomposable representations which are encountered in logarithmic conformal field theories. In particular, we do not make use of any of the restrictions which have been imposed in logarithmic nullvector calculations up to now, especially the quasi-primarity of all Jordan cell fields. For the quite well-studied c_{p,1} models we calculate examples of logarithmic nullvectors which have not been accessible to the older methods and recover the known representation structure. Furthermore, we calculate logarithmic nullvectors in the up to now almost unexplored general augmented c_{p,q} models and use these to find bounds on their possible representation structures.
Introduction
In recent years the study of conformal field theories (CFTs) which also exhibit indecomposable structures in part of their representations has become an interesting and promising topic of research. A variety of applications of this sensible generalisation of ordinary CFTs, which are also commonly known as logarithmic CFTs, have already surfaced in statistical physics (e.g. [1,2,3,4]), in Seiberg Witten theory (e.g. [5]) and even in string theory (e.g. [6,7]). For a more complete survey of applications pursued so far as well as an introduction to the field see [8,9,10,11].
Up to now the main focus of research has been put on a special class of logarithmic CFTs, the c p,1 models. The representation theory of their rank 2 indecomposable representations has been analysed completely in [12,13,14,15] and a thorough understanding of the representations of the modular group corresponding to the enlarged triplet W-algebra [16] of these models has been reached in [17,18,11]. Especially the c 2,1 = −2 model has been understood very well as it is isomorphic to a free field construction of the symplectic fermions [19,20].
But going beyond representation theory we find that the calculation of explicit correlation functions proves to be much more intricate and tedious than in the ordinary CFT case [21,22]. The construction of nullvectors, the key tool in CFT for the calculation of correlation functions, has already been addressed in [23,24,25,26] for the case of indecomposable representations. However, the type of these logarithmic nullvectors calculated so far only describes a very special case. Already in the c p,1 models the generic logarithmic nullvectors are beyond the scope of this procedure.
On the other hand, the c p,1 models are only quite special representatives of the general class of augmented c p,q models [18]. Although these models have already been addressed in some papers (see e.g. [27]), not much is known yet, neither about higher rank representations nor about nullvectors nor about correlation functions. There are, however, good indications that exactly these models might describe important statistical systems, such as perlocation. Especially the augmented c 2,3 = 0 model seems to be of high interest in this respect [4].
The main goal of this paper is to show how to calculate logarithmic nullvectors in general, to give explicit examples and to use the information about the existence of nontrivial logarithmic nullvectors to explore the unknown structure of a more general class of logarithmic CFTs, namely the augmented c p,q models.
In section 2 we give a short review of the special version of nullvector calculations which has been performed up to now in logarithmic models. In section 3 we discuss the limitations of this ansatz and propose a more general procedure which is capable of calculating all lowest logarithmic nullvectors in the c p,1 models. In particular, our new method does not rely on the quasi-primarity of all Jordan cell fields. In section 4 we then briefly introduce what we mean by generic augmented c p,q models. We use the methods of the preceding sections with slight modifications in order to obtain constraints on what embedding structures possibly yield rank 2 indecomposable representations in these models. For this we will concentrate on the "smallest" model exhibiting this more generic behaviour, the augmented c 2,3 = 0 model. But any emerging structures should immediately generalise to any c p,q model.
Jordan cells on lowest weight level
Let us briefly recall the construction of nullvectors in a logarithmic representation in which the states of the Jordan cell are all lowest weight states [23,24,8]. We will especially clarify the respective procedure in [8] and give a proof of the proposed logarithmic nullvector conditions. In the following, we will concentrate on Virasoro representations and try to keep close to the notations of [8].
A Jordan cell of lowest weight states with weight h of rank r is spanned by a basis of states |h; n = 1 n! θ n |h ∀ n = 0, . . . , r − 1 on which the action of the Virasoro modes is given by L 0 |h; n = h |h; n + (1 − δ n,0 ) |h; n − 1 ≡ (h + ∂ θ )|h; n , L p |h; n = 0 ∀ p > 0 .
As already defined in [8], θ is a nilpotent variable with θ r = 0 and a handy tool to organize the Jordan cell states with the same weight. Due to their almost primary behaviour with the only defect of an additional term in the indecomposable L 0 action we will call the |h; n logarithmic primary. We also note that |h; 0 is indeed a true primary state.
Using this information about the action of the Virasoro modes one can easily deduce that the action of any function of the Virasoro zero-mode and the central charge operator f (L 0 , C) on such a Jordan cell state is given by [8] f (L 0 , C) |h; n = n k=0 1 k! ∂ k ∂h k f (h, c) |h; n − k . (1) On the other hand, calculation of logarithmic two-point-functions yields the following Shapovalov form of these Jordan cell states [21] h; k|h; l = 0 ∀ l + k < r − 1 1 ∀ l + k = r − 1 D l+k−r+1 ∀ l + k > r − 1 (2) for constant D j , j = 1, . . . , r − 1.
We now want to construct vectors which are null on the whole logarithmic representation. Following [8] we choose the general ansatz with a(θ) = r−1 i=0 a i 1 i! θ i and the usual multi-index notation for the modes L n . Choosing the states |h; j instead of |h; ∂ j θ a(θ) on the right hand side would have yielded the same generality of the ansatz and in the end the same set of solutions. We prefer this special ansatz, however, for two reasons. First of all it already incorporates our knowledge that in this form of logarithmic representations there will only be a nontrivial action of the L 0 modes in the end of the nullvector calculation and that this is given by derivatives wrt θ onto lower ranks. This justifies the ∂ j θ part of the ansatz. On the other hand, by including lower orders of θ i into a(θ) we solve for nullvectors of lower rank subrepresentations at the same time. For this we will always treat the a m as arbitrary parameters. Now, we can calculate the level n nullvector conditions for arbitrary k and n l , |n l | = n, as follows (the index l indicates a suitable enumeration of the multi-indices n): where in the second step we used (1) due to the logarithmic primarity of the Jordan cell ground states |h; m as well as in the third step the Shapovalov form (2). As we want to keep the a m as arbitrary parameters the nullvector conditions on |χ h,c are equivalent to the identical vanishing of all A ′ n l (m, k). Let us calculate the terms proportional to δ t,m−j−k in A ′ n l (m, k) first: It is important to notice that the A n l (m − k) indeed only depend on the difference m − k.
We now show that the vanishing of the A n l (m−k) is necessary and already sufficient for the vanishing of the nullvector conditions in (4) by using complete induction over m − k. For m − k = 0 we trivially find A ′ n l (m, k) = A n l (m − k). This can easily be inferred from (4) noting that in the fourth line the summation over t actually only runs from 0 to m − j − k, consequently the one over j only from 0 to m − k. On the other hand we find for general m − k But this vanishes due to the induction assumption A n l (t) = 0 for all t < m − k. Hence, the vanishing of A ′ n l (m, k) is equivalent to the vanishing of A n l (m − k) and therefore the statement is proven. Now, if we regard these calculations with a r−1 as the only non-vanishing parameter we see that we still retain the whole set of conditions, A n l (r − 1 − k) = 0 for all k = 0, . . . , r − 1. On the other hand, taking another a i with i < r − 1 as the only nonvanishing parameter automatically yields the respective set of conditions for a rank i + 1 nullvector, a nullvector of a rank i + 1 logarithmic subrepresentation. This indeed justifies our chosen ansatz as well as keeping the parameters a m arbitrary.
Furthermore, this calculation shows that any nullvector wrt a (logarithmic or irreducible) representation is automatically a nullvector to any larger logarithmic representation containing the former one as a subrepresentation.
The third fact we would like to stress is that, generically, the nullvector of some rank r logarithmic representation is not a pure descendant of the Jordan cell state with rank index r, but always contains descendants of the other Jordan cell states with lower rank index, including the groundstate of the irreducible representation.
Logarithmic nullvectors for c p,1
Already for the well-studied c p,1 models, however, the representations with Jordan cells on the lowest level analysed in the preceding section are not the end of the story but rather only very special cases [13]. For the generic rank 2 logarithmic representations in these models one needs a generalised way of calculating logarithmic nullvectors, which we will develop in the following. We will introduce these representations using the notational conventions of [13] and will then transfer to notations which are more adapted to our procedure.
In figure 1 we have depicted the two possible types of rank 2 Virasoro representations which appear for c p,1 as calculated in [13]. The dots correspond either to generating fields, i.e. fields which are not describable as descendants of some other field, or to singular descendants of these which, although they are null in the module of their Figure 1: Types of rank 2 representations in c p,1 models parent field, have a non-vanishing Shapovalov form with some other field of the whole rank 2 representation. The crosses, on the other hand, represent true nullvectors of the whole rank 2 representation. And finally, the arrows indicate which fields may be reached by the application of some polynomial in the Virasoro modes. But as remarked in the last section, nullvectors which are built in part on the second (or any higher) Jordan cell field always have to contain contributions from descendants of the primary field (and possibly lower Jordan cell fields) as well. The corresponding arrows have to be understood in this way. The naming of the fields follows the convention in [13], where the indices m, n refer to the Kac labels corresponding to the weight of the Jordan cell fields. The case of a Jordan cell built solely on logarithmic primary fields which we discussed in section 2 and which corresponds to case A in figure 1 is just the exceptional case for the lowest lying representations ("lowest" in the sense of integer differences between the weights of the cyclic states). The generic rank 2 representation which is shown as case B in figure 1 contains an extra field ξ m,n with lower weight than the Jordan cell which serves as a parent to the primary field φ m,n , the generator of the irreducible subrepresentation of the Jordan cell. Certainly, φ m,n needs to be a singular descendant of ξ m,n in order to be primary. It is normalised such that the coefficient of the L l −1 term is 1. Furthermore, the second field building the Jordan cell, the so-called "log-partner" ψ m,n , is not logarithmic primary any more but is mapped to ξ m,n by some polynomial of positive Virasoro modes. As argued in [13], if there is no additional nullvector on ξ m,n on a level lower than φ m,n , this polynomial can be chosen as monomial such that (L 1 ) l ψ m,n = β ξ m,n L p ψ m,n = 0 ∀ p ≥ 2 for l = h(φ m,n ) − h(ξ m,n ) and constant β depending on the representation. In this setting L 1 maps ψ m,n to the unique l − 1 descendant ξ D of ξ m,n with This kind of representation requires a more general ansatz of logarithmic nullvectors. Loosing the prerequisite of logarithmic primarity of all Jordan cell fields we cannot assume that only polynomials in the Virasoro null-mode and the central charge operator contribute to the matrix elements in the calculation of the nullvector conditions -we now have to take into account operators (L −1 L 1 ) j , j > 0, as well. Hence, the relation between the nullvector polynomials on the different Jordan cell states is not governed by the action of L 0 and, thus, derivatives by θ alone. An ansatz of the form (3) is not reasonable any more.
Instead, we propose the more general ansatz for the generic rank 2 representation Here we choose a notation close to section 2 describing a state by its weight and enumerating Jordan cell states according to the L 0 action L 0 |h; n = h |h; n + (1 − δ n,0 ) |h; n − 1 .
The ansatz (6) certainly incorporates general level n descendants of φ m,n = |h; 0 as |h; 0 is just a level l descendant of ξ m,n = |h − l itself. However, we need this more general ansatz (6) because building descendants only on the Jordan cell states we would miss out several states of the rank 2 representation which are descendants of level n + l of ξ m,n = |h − l , but cannot be written as descendants of φ m,n = |h; 0 . This ansatz leads to the following complete set of nullvector conditions as well as for any s, t > 0. Several remarks are necessary. The functions F (1) , . . . , F (4) indicate what polynomials of Virasoro generators we can reduce the interior of the above matrix elements to by successively using the Virasoro algebra, the level matching condition as well as properties of the states which these modes are applied to. Although we are not able to reduce these to polynomials solely of L 0 and C as in section 2, these properties make possible a fair amount of reduction to functions which are polynomials only of specific combinations of the four operators L −1 , L 0 , L 1 and C. More specifically the function F (2) actually only depends on terms proportional to L l −1 , L l −1 L 0 , L l −1 L 2 0 , . . . as well as L l −1 C, L l −1 C 2 , . . . This follows from the fact that to the right this function acts on a primary field, to the left however on a field which vanishes under the action of L p , p ≥ 2, and whose weight is just at level l above |h − l .
As discussed earlier, we do not retain such nice interrelations between the nullvector polynomials as in section 2 which could be cast into the θ calculus. But we can still find remnants of such relations as e.g. by looking at the nullvector conditions given by the application of level n descendants of |h; 0 onto the nullvector ansatz These conditions are clearly a subset of the conditions (8) as |h; 0 is just a descendant of |h − l . Now we make use of the Shapovalov form (2) to deduce that the only terms contributing to the matrix elements in (9) can come from contributions of F (1) n j ,n (L l −1 L l 1 , L 0 , C) |h; 1 which are proportional to |h; 1 . But then we can insert these vanishing equations back into (7) concluding that the terms in (7) proportional to D 1 (of the Shapovalov form) already vanish on their own -a consequence of a subset of the relations (8). This is a reminiscence of the fact that in section 2 the conditions A ′ n l (m, k) can be split into the conditions A n l (m − k) which only depend on the difference m − k. Hence we can conclude that any logarithmic nullvector of the proposed kind does not depend on the constants of the Shapovalov form. Now one can put the Virasoro-algebraic calculations on the computer and solve the resulting equations for possible logarithmic nullvectors. Details about the implementation can be found in appendix A. We have calculated this for the c 2,1 = −2 representation R 2,1 with lowest lying vector ξ 2,1 at h = 0 and Jordan cell (φ 2,1 = L −1 ξ 2,1 , ψ 2,1 ) at h = 1, a representation of type B (see figure 1), and found the following first nontrivial nullvector at level 6 (above the lowest lying vector) This level is indeed the expected one as the Kac table of c 2,1 = −2 gives us a third nullvector condition for h = 0 exactly at level 6 as well as a corresponding second nullvector condition for h = 1 at level 5. Hence, we confirm the existence of a further nontrivial nullvector at the expected level in the logarithmic rank 2 representation R 2,1 derived by different means in [13].
We notice that up to the overall normalisation of this state the nullvector polynomial applied to the second Jordan cell state ψ 2,1 is unique. On the other hand, the nullvector polynomial on ξ 2,1 , which serves as a correction to the effects of the indecomposable action on ψ 2,1 , still exhibits three degrees of freedom. But we know that there is an ordinary nullvector at level 2 above h = 1 in the irreducible subrepresentation whose descendants span a parameter space of dimension three at level 5 (above h = 1). Adding such a descendant of this nullvector will certainly not alter our equations and, hence, accounts for the additional three degrees of freedom m i , i = 1, 2, 3.
In the same manner one can calculate logarithmic nullvectors in all rank 2 logarithmic representations in the c p,1 models, limited only by computer power and memory. We give a second example for a type B logarithmic nullvector in appendix B.
Possible logarithmic nullvectors for c 2,3 = 0
The c p,1 models might be the best-studied logarithmically conformal models but they still are quite special cases of the general augmented c p,q models, which we still know much less about. Hence, an even more exciting question than the above construction of predicted logarithmic nullvectors surely is whether one can use these techniques to explore the shapes of the supposedly more complicated logarithmic representations in general augmented CFTs. In the following we will attack this question for the augmented model c 2,3 = 0 which seems sufficiently generic to show all the features of general augmented c p,q models.
Some facts about augmented Kac tables
Minimal models manage to extract the smallest possible representation theory from the Kac table of some central charge c p,q by mapping all weights to some standard cell using the relations [28] h r,s = h q−r,p−s The only weights which these relations do not relate to anything are the weights on the border of the Kac table, i.e. the weights for r = q or s = p as well as their integer multiples. But as these do not appear in any fusion rule of the other fields in the bulk of the Kac table they are simply ignored. Augmenting the theory with fields beyond this standard cell has led to the construction of consistent CFTs containing representations with non-trivial Jordan blocks, examples of logarithmic CFTs. These theories can be associated to Kac tables which comprise the standard cell for larger parameters p and q yielding the same conformal charge; these parameters are usually odd integer multiples of p and q, i.e. we deal with the standard cell of c np,nq , n ∈ (2N − 1). Hence, these theories also contain fields with weights on the border of the original smaller Kac table as well as fields in the corners, which are the intersections of the borders. To give an example, we indicated the borders as areas with lighter shade, the corners as areas with darker shade in the augmented Kac table of c 2,3 given in table 1; the bulk consists of the unshaded areas. All fields of the augmented Kac tables yield independent representations only subject to the relations (10) for the augmented cell, i.e. p → np, q → nq. This is the result of the nontrivial fusion of the fields on the border and the corners with themselves and the fields from the bulk. Indeed, this fusion behaviour prevents the theory from just becoming a tensor product of several independent minimal model sectors.
Actually, the only well studied models up to now are contained in the series c p,1 , p = 2, 3, . . . (see e.g. [13,14,17,18,8]). These models are not generic in that respect that they do not contain any nontrivial bulk in their Kac table; they only consist of fields from the border and corners.
The first and easiest example which exhibits a non-empty bulk of the Kac table is the augmented c 2,3 = 0 model with the Kac table of c 6,9 = 0 which we will explore more closely in the following using our techniques of logarithmic nullvectors. As mentioned before, the corresponding Kac table is given in table 1.
The fact that we can restrict the representation theory of our CFT to a finite field content as with the above cells of the Kac table certainly relies on the enlargement of the symmetry algebra from a simple Virasoro algebra to a nontrivial W-algebra, be it either in the minimal model or the augmented model case. In the following, however, we will restrict our focus to the Virasoro algebra and representations thereof. Still, having the possibility of such an enlarged W-algebra in mind, we will mainly focus on representations connected to weights in the augmented Kac table cell keeping in mind that from the point of view of the Virasoro algebra there is an infinite tower of representations.
Weights on the corners and borders of the augmented Kac table
of c 2,3 = 0 We propose that fields associated to weights on the corner and the borders of the augmented Kac table of c 2,3 = 0 are contained in the same types of representations as the corresponding ones in the c p,1 models. The weights on the corners of the Kac table, h = −1/24, 35/24, actually only appear once modulo the relations (10) and accordingly only exhibit the usual two nullvector conditions. Hence, there are no new (logarithmic) representations to be expected besides the ordinary irreducible Virasoro representation built on groundstates with these weights. Indeed, these weights give exactly the prelogarithmic fields which have been shown to be primary and to generate an irreducible representation, but not to admit an embedding into any larger indecomposable representation [29].
The weights on the borders of the Kac table actually appear in the same kind of triplets of two equal conformal weights and one which is shifted by some positive integer as we know it from the c p,1 models (again modulo the relations (10)). The triplets are T 1 := {1/8, 1/8, 33/8}, T 2 := {5/8, 5/8, 21/8} and T 3 := {1/3, 1/3, 10/3}. We also find the same nullvector structure concerning these weights within the Kac table as we know it from the corresponding representations of the c p,1 models. Hence, we have checked the existence of the typical logarithmic nullvectors for all cases which were accessible to computer power and memory.
First we have checked for the first logarithmic nullvector in representation type A (see figure 1) and found the expected ones for all three triplets, on level 8 for T 1 , on level 10 for T 2 as well as on level 9 for T 3 . The result for T 1 can be found in appendix C.
A check for the first logarithmic nullvector in representation type B was only possible for the triplet T 2 . In this case, we have a Jordan cell for h = 21/8 with a lower lying field at h = 5/8. We find the first nontrivial logarithmic nullvector at level 16 which seems to be just at the limit of our current computing power and ability. The first logarithmic nullvectors for type B representations corresponding to the other two triplets are expected at even higher levels, at 18 and 20 for T 3 resp. T 1 . This is indeed compatible with our above proposition and a nice and nontrivial check for its validity. The above proposition is also substantiated by the analysis of possible modular functions of the corresponding W-algebra [30].
Weights in the bulk of the augmented Kac table of c 2,3 = 0
For possible logarithmic representations corresponding to weights in the bulk of the Kac table, however, we do not have any prototypes yet. Hence, we are now going to explore the main candidates for such representations and elaborate constraints on their shapes using our techniques of constructing logarithmic nullvectors. We notice two main differences to the situation on the borders.
First of all, the bulk of the augmented Kac table of c 2,3 = 0 (see table 1) exhibits an even higher abundance of equal numbers (up to integer shift) than in the c p,1 models, which is a clear sign of logarithmic representations there. Up to the relations (10) we actually find a nonuplet N = {0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, 7} of weights which are equal up to integer shift and which contain one weight with triple degeneracy, h = 0. It does not seem very likely that this nonuplet just splits into three triplets of the types analysed above. On the contrary, the analysis of the corresponding modular functions even suggests the possibility of a rank 3 logarithmic representation, and certainly predicts the existence of several more complicated rank 2 logarithmic representations constructed with weights within this set [30].
On the other hand, we have to notice that the embedding structure for nullvectors is different in the bulk in contrast to the linear embedding structure on the border (discussed in [13]). In the bulk the embedding structure is given by the more generic two string twisted picture, depicted in figure 2, which can be calculated according to general arguments in [31] or the Virasoro character formula of [32]. 1 Now, inspecting the nonuplet N of bulk weights we expect the usual irreducible representations to the integer weights h = 0, 1, 2, 5, 7 as well as rank 2 representations corresponding to Jordan cells at weight h = 0, 1, 2. We have depicted a list of possible candidates for rank 2 representations corresponding to these bulk weights in figure 3. These pictures represent the low lying embedding structure of these candidates Type C. The calculations for the type C representations have been performed using the methods of section 2. For this type we even managed to calculate one rank 3 logarithmic nullvector; i.e. the first rank 3 logarithmic nullvector with lowest weight Jordan cell at h = 0 appears at level 12.
Type E. We were able to apply the procedure of section 3 directly to the type E representation because we do not encounter any additional nullvector below the level of the Jordan cell and because we can take (L 0 − h) to map |h; 1 to a proper singular descendant of |h − l , i.e. L −1 |h − l .
Type F. In case of the type F representation we actually encounter an additional nullvector below the level of the Jordan cell. This can, however, be remedied quite easily. Due to the lower lying nullvector at level 1 there is no state which L 1 could map |h; 1 to. But certainly L 2 can take the job to map |h; 1 directly down to |h − l , a mapping unique up to normalisation. This yields the new conditions L 2 |h; 1 = β |h − l L p |h; 1 = 0 for p = 1 and p ≥ 3 .
The singular descendant in the Jordan cell is therefore given by |h; 0 = L −2 |h − l . This feature of an additional nullvector below the level of the Jordan cell clearly shows the novelty of the bulk representations in contrast to the ones on the border described in [13]; it arises due to the more intricate embedding structure for these bulk representations compared to the embedding structure for representations on the border. A generalisation to similar cases with additional nullvectors on levels lower than the Jordan cell seems straightforward though more tedious due to the more complex embedding structure of nullvectors which are not on the "nice" level 1.
Type D. The case of the type D representation is more questionable. Here, we actually do not have a singular descendant of |h − l on the level of the Jordan cell, hence no primary state which (L 0 − h) could map |h; 1 to. A priori it is not clear whether it is necessary for L 0 to map |h; 1 to a singular descendant of |h − l . Hence we took (L 0 − h) to map |h; 1 to the only existing descendant of |h − l at level 1 which is though not singular, i.e. L −1 |h − l . The results of possible logarithmic nullvectors, however, do not seem to offer a particular rich structure up to the accessible levels (see table 2).
We include the explicit results for the two cases E and F in appendix D. It is quite interesting to inspect e.g. the result for type F. Although we actually did not impose the relation L −1 |h − l = 0 into the computer programme, the result incorporates such a nullvector or, to be a bit more cautious, at least the independence of the result from this particular descendant; indeed, all descendants of L −1 |h − l just appear with free parameters. This corresponds to the additional freedom due to lower nullvectors in the irreducible subrepresentation discussed in the end of section 3. On the other hand, the second singular vector on |h − l on level 2 does not pop up in the same manner as a possible nullvector in this result; rather, the result is consistent with our ansatz where we actually impose that the level 2 singular vector on |h − l is not a nullvector for the whole rank 2 representation. Hence, we take the first observation of the independence from L −1 |h − l as a strong hint that a representation where both these singular descendants are not null in the whole logarithmic representation is not favoured by our calculations.
Conclusion and outlook
In the preceding sections we have elaborated the procedure how to calculate generic logarithmic nullvectors. This generalises former computations, which assumed that all fields in Jordan cells were (logarithmic) quasi-primary. We have calculated several examples of such nullvectors in rank 2 indecomposable representations, for two c p,1 models as well as for the more generic augmented c 2,3 = 0 model. Although these logarithmic nullvectors do not enable us to write down the whole indecomposable representations and hence to decide which of these representations are realised in our model, they nevertheless provide us with severe constraints about the number of states on the lower levels for all inspected candidates. As discussed for representation type F one can even use the calculated logarithmic nullvector to give strong arguments for the existence of singular vectors of the irreducible subrepresentation as nullvectors of the whole indecomposable representation.
On the other hand, we would like to stress again that we can regard the augmented c 2,3 = 0 model as a prototype for the general augmented c p,q models. As for the series of c p,1 models where one encounters the same structure of singlets on the corners and triplets on the borders throughout the series, we find the same structures which we have described in section 4 for all c p,q models: singlets on the corners, triplets on the borders and nonuplets in the bulk -only with a larger variety for larger models. And, most importantly, we find the same kind of relations between the levels of possible nullvectors and the differences between the weights in the n-plets as the ones described for c 2,3 = 0 in section 4.
Concerning the classification of nullvectors in logarithmic CFT [23,25,26], we observe that the generic nullvectors of rank 2 exist precisely at the levels one would guess from the Kac table, where the level has to be counted from the conformal weight of the Jordan cell. Within the bulk, it seems possible that even rank 3 generic nullvectors exist. However, we have only been able to calculate one example of a rank 3 logarithmic nullvector in the h = 0 sector of the c 2,3 model so far.
Thus, we made use of the information about logarithmic nullvectors to give a rough picture about how the embedding structure of rank 2 logarithmic representations might look like for the up to now almost unexplored augmented c p,q models.
Certainly one can now use these explicitely constructed rank 2 nullvectors to calculate corresponding correlation functions and hence analyse the physical dynamics of these theories. This would have to proceed along the lines indicated in [24].
On the other hand, one seems to be very close to finally pinpoint the full structure of the rank 2 representations in the c 2,3 model and, hence, in all c p,q models. In order to achieve this it seems necessary to bring together the constraints on possible rank 2 representations calculated in this paper with the knowledge about the representation of the modular group corresponding to the inherent enlarged W-algebra. Indeed, this larger symmetry algebra makes it possible to uniquely fix any representation of c 2,3 if one knows the multiplicities of states up to level 7. But it is still not clear how to combine Virasoro representations to full W-representations. These considerations are subject to ongoing research [30]. Furthermore, the construction of these representations will supposedly also settle the long standing puzzle around the structure of the vacuum character in the augmented c 2,3 = 0 model (see e.g. [27]). On the other hand, it does not seem too far out of reach to construct generic W-nullvectors along the lines set out in this work. The knowledge of such nullvectors would enable us to prove rationality, or at least C 2 -cofiniteness, for augmented c p,q models using the approach of [33].
After completion of this work the article [34] appeared which proves the equivalence between the c 2,1 model as a vertex operator algebra and a corresponding quantum group and conjectures a similar result for general c p,1 models. This manifestation of the Kazhdan-Lusztig correspondence as an equivalence for the case of the c p,1 models leads to a highly interesting insight in the quantum group structure of these conformal field theories and might facilitate the classification of representations in these models. We hope that results as the ones about logarithmic nullvectors in this article will finally lead to a generalisation of [34] to general c p,q models, although regarding our still very small knowledge about these models this seems still a long way to go.
A Implementation of the logarithmic nullvector calculation on the computer
The calculations performed for this article have been implemented in C++ using the computer algebra package GiNaC [35]. We constructed new classes for the algebraic objects fields, fieldmodes, products of fieldmodes as well as descendant fields. The implemented Virasoro relations (as well as possibly further commutation relations) are used for direct simplification of descendant fields towards the normal ordered standard form as soon as these are constructed. It is important to note that within the procedure the application of modes to the field has priority to the commutation of modes in order to reduce the blow-up of the number of terms within the calculation. The calculation of matrix elements is performed in two steps. First all fieldmodes within the matrix elements are used to construct a descendant state on the ket-state which is then automatically simplified (see above). Then the correct coefficients are picked using the properties of the bra-state as well as the Shapovalov form.
The main property which has to be implemented into the fields, besides their conformal weight (and possibly fermion number), is their behaviour under the action of nonnegative Virasoro modes. We picked conformal primarity as the standard and implemented deviations from that in a list which is pointed to by a member of each instance. E.g. for calculations of representation type B (see figure 1) we had to implement the indecomposable L 0 action as well as the non-vanishing L 1 action which maps |h; 1 to the unique level (l − 1) descendant of |h − l with properties (5).
B An explicit nullvector for c 3,1 = −7 As a further example for a type B rank 2 logarithmic nullvector (see figure 1) we give the respective nullvector with lowest lying vector at h = −1/4 and Jordan cell at h = 7/4 in the augmented model of c 3,1 = −7 which appears at level 10. For the sake of reasonable brevity we have set the overall normalisation to 1 and also eliminated any freedom due to the existence of lower nullvectors in the irreducible subrepresentation by setting any further free parameter to 0; the parameter β certainly still remains as it is a parameter of the representation as introduced in section 3: C Explicit nullvectors on the border of c 2,3 = 0 In the following we give the explicit form of the nullvector of type A for the triplet T 1 , which has a Jordan cell at lowest weight h = 1/8 and appears at level 8. We have set the overall normalisation to 1 in this expression; any further free parameters, however, appear as calculated (noted as m i ). We also note again that β is not a free parameter of the logarithmic nullvector calculation but a parameter of the representation as introduced in section 3: We also give the type B logarithmic nullvector for the triplet T 2 , which has a Jordan cell at h = 21/8, a lowest weight at h = 5/8 and appears at level 16. As this expression is very lengthy we have again set the overall normalisation to 1 and also eliminated any further freedom by setting any further free parameter to 0: D Explicit nullvectors in the bulk of c 2,3 = 0 In the following we give the explicit form of the nullvector of type E which has a Jordan cell at h = 1, lowest weight h = 0 and appears at level 12. Again, for the sake of brevity, we have set the overall normalisation to 1 and also eliminated any further freedom by setting any further free parameter to 0; again, the parameter β remains as it is a parameter of the representation as introduced in section 4: The explicit form of the nullvector of type F which has a Jordan cell at h = 2, lowest weight h = 0 and also appears at level 12 is given below. As we need the full beauty of this result in the argument of section 4 any free parameter appears as calculated (noted as m i ); only the overall normalisation we have set to 1:

Altered cortical thickness and attentional deficits in adolescent girls and women with bulimia nervosa.
BACKGROUND
Frontostriatal and frontoparietal abnormalities likely contribute to deficits in control and attentional processes in individuals with bulimia nervosa and to the persistence of dysregulated eating across development. This study assessed these processes and cortical thickness in a large sample of adolescent girls and women with bulimia nervosa compared with healthy controls.
METHODS
We collected anatomical MRI data from adolescent girls and women (ages 12-38 yr) with full or subthreshold bulimia nervosa and age-matched healthy controls who also completed the Conners Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II). Groups were compared on task performance and cortical thickness. Mediation analyses explored associations among cortical thickness, CPT-II variables, bulimia nervosa symptoms and age.
RESULTS
We included 60 girls and women with bulimia nervosa and 54 controls in the analyses. Compared with healthy participants, those with bulimia nervosa showed increased impulsivity and inattention on the CPT-II, along with reduced thickness of the right pars triangularis, right superior parietal and left dorsal posterior cingulate cortices. In the bulimia nervosa group, exploratory analyses revealed that binge eating frequency correlated inversely with cortical thickness of frontoparietal and insular regions and that reduced frontoparietal thickness mediated the association between age and increased symptom severity and inattention. Binge eating frequency also mediated the association between age and lower prefrontal cortical thickness.
LIMITATIONS
These findings are applicable to only girls and women with bulimia nervosa, and our cross-sectional design precludes understanding of whether cortical thickness alterations precede or result from bulimia nervosa symptoms.
CONCLUSION
Structural abnormalities in the frontoparietal and posterior cingulate regions comprising circuits that support control and attentional processes should be investigated as potential contributors to the maintenance of bulimia nervosa and useful targets for novel interventions.

Helena: The Subversive Persona of an Ideal Christian Empress in Early Byzantium
The present paper explores the ways in which the social memory of the mother of Constantine the Great was reconstructed, judged, and appreciated between the late fourth and ninth centuries, in an effort either to qualify or challenge commonly held perceptions of her. My evaluation of the symbolic significance that clergy and laity accorded to Helena broadens our understanding of the official position of empresses in the world of Byzantine politics: both empress and emperor mattered in terms of power, without suggesting that the former was of equal importance to the latter. The portrayals of Helena involve their own paradoxical and subversive qualities.

Incidence of Metachronous Distant Metastasis and ypN Classification Influence Patient Survival in Endosonographically Confirmed uT3 Rectal Cancer after Neoadjuvant Therapy and R0 Resection: A Historical Cohort Analysis
Background: Tumor response after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (NRC) prior to surgery and other parameters are likely to have an influence on the survival rate of patients suffering from T3 rectal cancer. Methods: 51 patients (17 female, 34 male; 59.0 years; Apache < 9 points: 95.1%; ASA I-II 88.3% and ASA III 11.8%) were treated with NRC (50.4 Gy; 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid) 4-6 weeks prior to surgery because of uT3 rectal cancer (G2: 96%; adenocarcinoma 86.3%; cUICC II 62.7%). NRC led to a tumor response (TR) (ypT0-ypT2) in 45.1% (ypT0N0M0 7.8%). Results: Neither the age of patients nor Apache/ASA score, histology, UICC staging, ypTNM, Dukes staging, infiltration of vessels, surgical procedure, local recurrence nor TR had a significant influence on the patients' survival time. Patients with metachronous distant metastasis (MDM) during the follow-up period (mean: 8.2 years; 1 month to 14.5 years) and patients with ypN1-ypN2 had a significantly shorter survival time. Conclusions: NRC prior to surgery leads to a remarkable TR rate but has no significant impact of TR on the patients' survival time. Occurrence of MDM during the follow-up period and ypN1/N2 status do have a greater influence. It is necessary to investigate larger cohorts of patients in the future to obtain more conclusive results and to define factors with influence on survival.

Remote Diagnostics and Troubleshooting a Good Fit for Mining Operations
Mining Operations Dig Remote Diagnostics: Connections to Remote Machines Speed and Simplify Machine Maintenance
Dan HebertBy Dan Hebert, PE, Senior Technical Editor
You get a frantic call from a customer on Friday morning. One of your machines is down, and they can't figure out how to get it back up and running, so you book a last-minute and very-expensive flight.
When you arrive at the customer site, you're tired and more than a little peeved with the customer for ruining your weekend. The customer is breathing down your neck, but you need some time and space to diagnose and correct what turns out to be a fairly complex problem.
This is a snapshot of life for many machine control professionals in the bad old days before remote diagnostics. Nowadays, remote connections enabled by the Internet, wireless technologies and other telecommunications advancements allow automation pros to routinely and quickly diagnose and correct problems anywhere in the world from the office. This not only saves time and money. It also allows complex analysis to be done in an ideal off-site environment, free from distractions and omnipresent anxious clients.
Physically separating problem analysis from machine-operating locations confers many advantages. It cuts cost for each machine because complex analysis tools can be staged at one central location instead of at each machine. It reduces travel costs and makes it easier to retain employees. It lessens the number of experts required to maintain machines. Finally, it improves analysis because automation pros can service machines from a comfortable and safe location. Examples abound.
Electromechanical shovels used in open-pit mining operation are huge mobile machines capable of loading 100 tons of ore into a truck per pass. Traditionally, it has been difficult to apply condition monitoring and predictive techniques to these shovels due to inadequate analysis algorithms and equipment, as well as the harsh environment.
Traditional vibration analysis is the main tool for predictive maintenance on rotating machines. It's performed by Fourier transforms that assume constant rotational speed. This doesn't work for mining shovel machines, so a different approach is needed.
A story on the National Instruments' ( web site explains how the University of Concepción in Chile developed a vibration-analysis algorithm suitable for analyzing the vibration signals of electromechanical shovels. Once the algorithm was ready, it was implemented as the core of a continuous remote monitoring system.
The monitoring system consists of onboard equipment, a remote server and wireless network equipment. The onboard NI CompactRIO system acquires simultaneous signals from accelerometers, encoders and strain gages.
Acquired data is stored temporarily on the CompactRIO internal Flash and later downloaded automatically via a wireless link to a remote master server. At the remote location, the data is processed, compared against complex alert and alarm parameters, and stored in a database.
Once the data is processed and stored, it is available for further user visualization, analysis, manual processing and trends management on the server or on any computer with network access to the database. As of April 2008, nine shovels reportedly are continuously and remotely monitored at four different open-pit mining locations in Chile, two of which are among the biggest copper mines in the world.
Siemens' ( remote response command center is situated in the middle of its mobile mining solutions engineering team. Mines are located in very remote and often inhospitable areas. It's very costly to fly out experts to correct a problem or install new software, both in terms of travel and machine downtime.
The command center enables field service engineers and system design engineers to sit behind a desk and perform problem analysis at a moment's notice using Siemens' remote access system.
"From this secure war-room environment, qualified factory experts can connect to machines all across the world and have access to all of the troubleshooting tools available onboard the machine," says Daniel Robertson, business development manager for mobile mining solutions at Siemens Energy & Automation. "Remote access not only enables access to the diagnostic tools, it also provides access to drive control systems and other hardware. This makes loading new software or adjusting parameters easier, faster and cheaper."

South Carolina and Nevada Takeaways: Messages Get Results
Donald J. Trump came into South Carolina with momentum after a big win in New Hampshire — and he seemed to try his best to undercut himself. He attacked George W. Bush, a popular figure in the state, for his handling of terrorism and the Iraq war. He repeatedly picked fights with the well-liked Gov. Nikki R. Haley. He held forth on national television about his friendships with Howard Stern and Michael Jackson.
All that may have cost him some support: Exit polls showed late-deciding voters were more likely to back other candidates. But Mr. Trump still finished 10 percentage points ahead of his nearest rivals.
Republicans have been frustrated by Mr. Trump’s seeming imperviousness to the usual rules of politics. But after he blundered and blustered his way to victory in South Carolina, it is clearer than ever: Nothing short of a broad onslaught is likely to derail him.
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida has long declined to go after Mr. Trump, and he did not shift into attack mode on Saturday. But he drew an implicit contrast with the man who has defined the Republican race with his heated language about immigration and Islamic terrorism.
Standing with Ms. Haley, who is of Indian descent, and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is black, Mr. Rubio sketched a tableau of the Republican Party as he might represent it. He promised to lead a conservative movement made up of the children of immigrants and single parents.
It is unclear whether his vision for the party is one that its activist base, enamored so far of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Mr. Rubio, will embrace. Mr. Rubio won over a fairly upscale coalition — college graduates and relatively moderate conservatives — but as the race barrels toward Super Tuesday, he will need to do more than that.
The fifth- and sixth-place finishers in South Carolina have no apparent path to winning the Republican nomination, but Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and Ben Carson showed why their presence in the race remained significant.
Mr. Kasich won a little less than 8 percent of the vote after campaigning in a moderate tone and stressing his Washington experience. He almost certainly drew support away from Mr. Rubio and Jeb Bush. As long as he persists in the race, he will be a roadblock for Mr. Rubio in middle-of-the-road primary states, where Mr. Trump might be vulnerable.
Mr. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon whose campaign organization has crumbled, pulled about 7 percent of the vote. A Christian whose faith defines his political persona, Mr. Carson likely undermined Mr. Cruz’s efforts to corner the evangelical vote. He has vowed to press on, just as Mr. Cruz prepares to compete across a number of Bible Belt states on March 1.
Many African-Americans were loyal and enthusiastic supporters of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, and black New Yorkers helped elected Hillary Clinton to the Senate in 2000 and 2006. But black Democrats abandoned her in droves during the 2008 presidential race as they embraced Barack Obama and contributed to her ultimate defeat.
On Saturday in Nevada, Mrs. Clinton got her groove back with African-Americans: According to entrance polls by Edison Research, she won 76 percent of black Nevada voters, compared with 22 percent for Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
No other result from the Nevada caucuses bodes better for Mrs. Clinton as she heads to South Carolina for its primary next Saturday and then competes through the South on Super Tuesday, since many of those states have large numbers of black voters.
After Mrs. Clinton’s defeat in the New Hampshire primary, she sharpened her political message to focus on breaking “barriers” that keep black and Hispanic Americans from rising in society and earning a high-quality education, good jobs and fair treatment from police officers and the criminal justice system.
Mrs. Clinton, her campaign surrogates and her television commercials repeated these themes throughout Nevada, and her campaign aides portrayed Mr. Sanders as preoccupied with attacking the political system and Wall Street rather than helping real people.
According to entrance polls, Mrs. Clinton won among women and low-income voters — two groups she lost to Mr. Sanders in New Hampshire. Moreover, she seemed to hit on a message that showcased her caring side, a quality that some voters have wanted to see.
Mr. Sanders has been delivering the same message about America’s “corrupt” economic and political system since April. Most politicians would have expanded and refined their themes over time, but his constancy has been held up as a sign of authenticity. Even when he faced a new challenge in Nevada — winning over black and Hispanic voters — he did not markedly change his stump speech. And he lost.
In South Carolina, more than half the Democratic electorate is African-American. Mr. Sanders still expresses confidence that his tirades against Wall Street and the campaign finance system will resonate with those voters. But he is planning to campaign in Massachusetts and Virginia next week.
By only campaigning part-time in South Carolina and not honing his message to black voters, Mr. Sanders risks being seen as writing off a core constituency of the Democratic Party and narrowing in his appeal at a time when a leading candidate ordinarily would be trying to grow his base of support.
The 2016 primaries and caucuses have begun. See results and upcoming primary dates.
Write a one or two sentence summary. Donald J. Trump blundered and blustered his way to victory in South Carolina, while Hillary Clinton won Nevada with a sharper message about equality.

One should realize the basics of Mc Servers and host it. What are MC Servers? These are fundamentally large-scale computers that have fast internet additions that are running the latest game MINECRAFT and you can effortlessly get connected to them and play Mc with your friends! Now you have an alternative, this can either be your own computer (run your own Mc server) OR you can pay for a person to do all the hard work (buy server hosting).
How to control your own Mc host from house?
Even though it is expected (and well, rather delightful… for those computer nerds amidst us) to own a Mine Craft host on your own PC, over time this can convey more headaches than you initially considered. First of all, running a thing from your home PC will be exceedingly draining on your system assets. Even though most new computers running Windows 7 or Vista come with high hasten multi-core CPUs and adequate RAM (memory) to run a game server, the place will likely be distinct when a hardworking program starts utilizing up your resources. In addition to the supplemented internet bandwidth you need is likely to be a gigantic bottleneck.
In addition to this, you have to address that you will be dedicating your appliance to one cause, being a MineCraft Host. This means that you won’t be adept to play Mc on your PC that is setting registered as host program, as your CPU % and RAM are actually being masticated up (as cited earlier)! Sitting there and supervising the machine while your associates play Mc doesn’t sound like as much joy. It also signifies that you will not be able to use your PC (now a MC host) for an allotment of the other jobs you are used to. As said before, address that if there are other individuals (family members, room-mates, work colleagues) using the identical Internet connection, they are likely going to wonder why the Internet is so slow while you are happy with your own register! In this regard, you should invest some time in knowing more about minecraft and its host program.
The other key constituent is that if you were running the program, you would need to contain it swapped on and connected to the Internet 24/7, to endow people to play when they preferred. If it is swapped off or your Internet connection is not employed, that means there will be no Mc! (So, you would be getting many furious phone calls from your friends telling you to switch to the hosting program on!) Other things like residential internet attachments, frequently having to restart the computer and Windows shut-downs can affect the up-time. It is because of these reasons that people want to know more about the services of the cheapest minecraft server hosting business.
Another last component to address is that setting up a cheap minecraft server hosting is like setting up any web server that is multiplayer and running game. In case you did not have the chance to set one up before, you will need to have a lot of endurance and a good comprehending of your own TCP/IP mesh, how to set port-forwarding on your router, permitting traffic through your firewall, modifying your anti-virus backgrounds, and so on.
All of these things can lead to annoyance, which is why people eventually recommend going with hiring the services of the cheapest minecraft server hosting business; after all wouldn’t you rather spend your time construction an awesome world with your associates and thereby enjoying Mc?

Low eddy current RF shielding enclosure designs for 3T MR applications
Magnetic resonance–compatible medical devices operate within the MR environment while benefitting from the superior anatomic information of MRI. Avoiding electromagnetic interference between such instrumentation and the MR system is crucial. In this work, various shielding configurations for positron emission tomography (PET) detectors were studied and analyzed regarding radiofrequency (RF) shielding effectiveness and gradient‐induced eddy current performances. However, the results of this work apply to shielding considerations for any MR‐compatible devices.

Estimation of Center of Mass Trajectory using Wearable Sensors during Golf Swing.
This study suggests a wearable sensor technology to estimate center of mass (CoM) trajectory during a golf swing. Groups of 3, 4, and 18 participants were recruited, respectively, for the purpose of three validation studies. Study 1 examined the accuracy of the system to estimate a 3D body segment angle compared to a camera-based motion analyzer (Vicon®). Study 2 assessed the accuracy of three simplified CoM trajectory models. Finally, Study 3 assessed the accuracy of the proposed CoM model during multiple golf swings. A relatively high agreement was observed between wearable sensors and the reference (Vicon®) for angle measurement (r > 0.99, random error <1.2° (1.5%) for anterior-posterior; <0.9° (2%) for medial-lateral; and <3.6° (2.5%) for internal-external direction). The two-link model yielded a better agreement with the reference system compared to one-link model (r > 0.93 v. r = 0.52, respectively). On the same note, the proposed two-link model estimated CoM trajectory during golf swing with relatively good accuracy (r > 0.9, A-P random error <1cm (7.7%) and <2cm (10.4%) for M-L). The proposed system appears to accurately quantify the kinematics of CoM trajectory as a surrogate of dynamic postural control during an athlete's movement and its portability, makes it feasible to fit the competitive environment without restricting surface type. Key pointsThis study demonstrates that wearable technology based on inertial sensors are accurate to estimate center of mass trajectory in complex athletic task (e.g., golf swing)This study suggests that two-link model of human body provides optimum tradeoff between accuracy and minimum number of sensor module for estimation of center of mass trajectory in particular during fast movements.Wearable technologies based on inertial sensors are viable option for assessing dynamic postural control in complex task outside of gait laboratory and constraints of cameras, surface, and base of support.

The Contradictions of the Womenomics Campaign: Abe Shinzō's Employment Reforms and Japan's Public Service Workers
Japan, in economic terms, is possibly the most gender-unequal of post-industrial democracies. Over half of female salaried workers are relegated to non-regular status, suffering large differentials in wages and benefits, and the ratios of women holding management level positions in corporations or the civil service remain exceptionally low.1 Yet that very situation provides the government of Abe Shinzō, prime minister since 2012, an excellent opportunity to sponsor reforms that might not only reduce workplace inequality but also stimulate economic growth (Shibata 2017) and strengthen political support for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) by bolstering its faltering support among women.2 Indeed, the Abe government has made women’s workplace advancement a pillar of its economic agenda. Under the rubric of Womenomics, the government has launched campaigns to reduce the country’s large pay differentials and expand the childcare and elder care systems, policies that could greatly benefit women and childrearing couples (Dalton 2017a). Moreover, the timing is fortuitous. Japanese employers have long resisted equalityenhancing measures that could raise costs or weaken managerial control over workers, but steady economic growth has created a margin for additional spending and increasingly severe labor shortages have forced many companies to improve their treatment of nonregular employees and to introduce work-life balance (WLB) measures to attract workers.3

Cork in a Wine Bottle Challenge
Print this Experiment
If a cork falls into the bottom of a wine bottle (accidentally or on purpose), how can you get it out without ruining the cork, the bottle, or both? It’s a puzzle that seems challenging, but actually it can be solved with a simple science secret.
Key Concepts: Force and Motion
Experiment Videos
Here's What You'll Need
• Empty wine bottle
• Cork
• Rubber mallet
• Small stick
• Handkerchief or cloth napkin
Let's Try It
1. If you have an empty wine bottle, a cork, and a handkerchief lying around the house, you have the basic materials you need to attempt this challenge.
2. Put the cork back in the wine bottle. This can be a bit tricky, so push it into the top of the bottle and then use a rubber mallet to push it as far into the bottle as you can. You could also turn the bottle over and tap the cork lightly on the ground until the cork is even with the top of the bottle.
3. Use a small stick to push the cork all the way into the bottom of the bottle. Now you have what some people call an “Impossible Bottle”—a bottle that contains something that appears to be too large to fit through the neck of the bottle and that won’t easily come out. Some Impossible Bottles feature ships, decks of cards, tennis balls, scissors, knotted ropes, and many other unusual items inside them.
4. Call your friend over and present him with this challenge: “Can you pull the cork out of the bottle without destroying it or the bottle?” Remind him that he can’t set the cork on fire or put something down into the bottle that will break the cork up into small pieces or break the bottle. Let him ponder the challenge for a while. Maybe he’ll consider putting water and Alka-Seltzer down into the bottle, building up the pressure, and exploding the cork out of the bottle. Or maybe he’ll pour some liquid nitrogen down into the bottle and douse it with warm water, causing a huge cloud (and the cork) to erupt out of the bottle. (These techniques are not recommended and could cause damage to the cork, the bottle, or your friend!)
5. When your friend gives up and begs you to explain how to get the cork out of the bottle, here is one solution you might share with him. Push the handkerchief down into the bottle, leaving about half of the handkerchief sticking out of the bottle so that you can grab onto it.
6. Tip the bottle upside down and gently shake it until the cork is lodged between the handkerchief and the inside of the bottle near the neck of the bottle.
7. Grab the dangling end of the handkerchief and slowly pull the handkerchief out of the bottle. The handkerchief is slippery and so doesn’t provide the normal friction between the cork and the bottle. If you continue to pull on the handkerchief, BAM!—the cork pops right out of the bottle.
How Does It Work
There’s really no fancy scientific explanation needed to describe how the cork comes out of the bottle. It boils down to just the simple science of friction. Wine manufacturers use corks in bottles because the friction between the cork and the glass forms a nice tight seal. If you remove the friction (by using the handkerchief or a plastic bag), you can very easily pull the cork back out of the bottle. How’s that for a science mind-bender?
Take It Further
See if you can remove a cork from an empty wine bottle using a produce bag from the grocery store instead of a napkin or handkerchief. What other items could you use to try to get the cork out of the bottle?

Twisting Mechanisms of Open-End Rotor Spun Hybrid Yarns
We have developed a mechanical hybrid yam spinning system that produces different kinds of yam on a modified open-end rotor spinning frame. In order to understand the characteristics of hybrid yam and produce novel yarns, it is necessary to investigate yarn formation and the twisting mechanism in the spinning rotor during yam production. Our results reveal that the rotor revolution generally results in combining the filament yam and the staple fiber strand. The fiber twist angle of the strand in a hybrid yarn is smaller than that of a rotor spun single yam with the same spinning conditions. Although a fed filament yam has a false twist inserted by increasing the filament over-feed, the filament yarn in the hybrid yarn has a smaller level of fiber twist angle in the same direction as the twist of the staple fiber strand due to untwisting of the false twist.

Long-term results of simplified frozen elephant trunk technique in complicated acute type A aortic dissection: A case–control study
Aim To describe the long-term experience of a simplified frozen elephant trunk technique (sFETT) used in complicated acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) treatment. Methods and results Between January 2001 and December 2012, 34 patients (mean age 59.9 ± 11.0 years) with complicated AAAD (DeBakey I) underwent an emergency surgery including sFETT. sFETT consisted in gluing the dissected aortic arch wall layers with gelatine-resorcinol adhesive and video-assisted antegrade open arch aortic stent-graft deployment in the arch or proximal descending aorta. In addition to sFETT, the aortic root was addressed with standard techniques. A 30-day mortality was 14.7% (five patients) due to bleeding (1), multiple organ failure (2), and colon ischemia (2). Postoperative morbidity included neurological (2), renal (1) and cardio-pulmonary complications (4), as well as wound infection (1). Mean follow-up was 74.4 ± 45.0 months. Actual survival rates were 73.5% at 1 year, 70.2% at 5 years, and 58.5% at 13 years of follow-up. Six patients died during long-term follow-up from heart failure (1) and unknown reasons (5). Five patients required reoperation for aortic arch (3) or aorto-iliac (2) progression of aneurysm during the mid- and long-term follow-up. The remaining patients showed favorable evolution of the dissected aorta with false lumen occlusion in most cases and stable aortic diameters. Conclusions In AAAD patients, sFETT as used in our series is an easy and safe technique to repair the aortic arch. Long-term results after sFETT showed false lumen occlusion and stable aortic diameter in up to 13 years of follow-up.

Vision and Concussion: Symptoms, Signs, Evaluation, and Treatment.
Visual symptoms are common after concussion in children and adolescents, making it essential for clinicians to understand how to screen, identify, and initiate clinical management of visual symptoms in pediatric patients after this common childhood injury. Although most children and adolescents with visual symptoms after concussion will recover on their own by 4 weeks, for a subset who do not have spontaneous recovery, referral to a specialist with experience in comprehensive concussion management (eg, sports medicine, neurology, neuropsychology, physiatry, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology) for additional assessment and treatment may be necessary. A vision-specific history and a thorough visual system examination are warranted, including an assessment of visual acuity, ocular alignment in all positions of gaze, smooth pursuit (visual tracking of a moving object), saccades (visual fixation shifting between stationary targets), vestibulo-ocular reflex (maintaining image focus during movement), near point of convergence (focusing with both eyes at near and accommodation (focusing with one eye at near because any of these functions may be disturbed after concussion. These deficits may contribute to difficulty with returning to both play and the learning setting at school, making the identification of these problems early after injury important for the clinician to provide relevant learning accommodations, such as larger font, preprinted notes, and temporary use of audio books. Early identification and appropriate management of visual symptoms, such as convergence insufficiency or accommodative insufficiency, may mitigate the negative effects of concussion on children and adolescents and their quality of life.

3,000 miles away: UMass student from California speaks about wildfire devastation
‘The only thing that can be done now is to just be ready for when the next one comes’
Remnants of a neighborhood in Santa Rosa, Calif., where wildfires ravaged through the town. (Sgt. 1st Class Benjamin Cosse, California National Guard/Creative Commons)
AMHERST — Two weeks ago, University of Massachusetts Amherst sophomore Anthony Newman was startled to wake up to an emergency alert text message from his former community college, Santa Rosa Junior College, in northern California. What was even more concerning was the reason for the alert: Classes at the school were cancelled due to a safety hazard raised by nearby raging wildfires.
When Newman, a Petaluma, California native, learned that the nearby city of Santa Rosa was seriously threatened by the wildfires, he immediately called his stepmother’s family who lived there to ensure they were safe. He learned his family received a sudden knock on their door by authorities at 1:30 a.m. the night before and were forced to evacuate the town.
“They had to immediately leave their home with nothing more than the clothes on their backs,” said Newman, an environmental science major. “It was crazy.”
Newman’s family was able to find their way to safety, but their house was completely lost in the ensuing blaze. Nothing remained of where Newman’s family once lived, and with that came a newfound apprehension of the destructive power of wildfires.
These wildfires were the deadliest that the state of California has ever seen. According to CBS News, the fires have caused at least $1 billion in damages to property and have killed 42 people.
“Growing up, we would always hear about wildfires, there would always be at least one wildfire at any given time,” Newman explained. “But there was never a feeling of threat behind it. Now, that has completely changed.”
As a student over 3,000 miles away from his struggling family and friends, Newman felt it was necessary to constantly check in with the local authorities in California. He set up text alerts from his community’s sheriff’s department for hourly updates on the condition of his hometown.
Luckily, his hometown of Petaluma was spared from any major destruction, as nearby wildfires were contained. But Newman’s three younger siblings were still kept from school due to the poor air quality from the smoke and debris of nearby wildfires.
“It’s really scary. I have never had to deal with anything like this before,” said Newman. “It was hard to handle during midterms.”
Wildfires are common in areas like northern California. Drier conditions lead to the increased likelihood of a fire becoming out of control. Wind and a lack of rainfall only amplify the destructive capabilities of wildfires.
Although wildfires were once thought to mostly be caused by natural phenomenon like lightning, a recent study by Bethany Bradley, UMass associate professor of environmental conservation, and other researchers now shows the opposite. In a survey of wildfire records over the past 20 years, Bradley and researchers found that in the United States, humans were responsible for 84 percent of all wildfires and 44 percent of total area burned.
Although the California wildfires have not yet been attributed to a specific cause, Bradley explained that it would not be out of the realm of possibility they were accidentally caused by humans.
“These are exactly the hallmark of fires that would be started by people,” Bradley said. “These fires are in October, so it is well outside of the season that lightning strikes are commonly starting wildfires, and it’s also in central and northern California where it’s geographically more common for people to start fires than lightning.”
California is not the only area in the U.S. that deals with the problem of wildfires, explained Bradley. In the area of the Intermountain West, which includes the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, there are fire-prone ecosystems that are being quickly developed by people.
“You can imagine why people would want to live in Colorado or northern California, these places are beautiful,” said Bradley. “But there is always a risk, and the increased movement of people to this interface of wildlands and urban areas makes the potential for these fires to be more dangerous.”
Fire policy in areas prone to wildfires has changed over time, said Bradley. Local communities in areas like Colorado have begun to use certain architectural practices and materials when constructing homes to prevent the spread of fires. Even educational campaigns like “Smokey the Bear” have proven to be effective tools to spread fire awareness.
However, fire managers in these areas constantly walk a fine line between letting the ecosystem run its course and trying to prevent wildfires that pose a danger to people and their homes.
Bradley explained that despite these efforts to mitigate the effects of future wildfires, there are not many large-scale efforts that could completely stop fire destruction.
For now, community members in northern California push for volunteers in evacuation centers to help those affected rebuild their community. The shock of destruction still rings fresh in the minds of residents and loved ones in places like Santa Rosa.
“I still don’t really know how I feel about it, since everything happened so quickly,” said Newman. “The only thing that can be done now is to just be ready for when the next one comes.”

Q: Marion Potts taught in schools in Britain and Norway for over 25 years. The 63-year-old contracted mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer. She died in June after taking ill-health retirement in 2012. It is not known which school would have exposed Mrs Potts to lethal fibres. Over 140 UK teachers have died of the disease in the past ten years.
****
A: By. Inderdeep Bains. PUBLISHED:. 08:22 EST, 28 November 2013. |. UPDATED:. 08:44 EST, 29 November 2013. For 25 years, she dedicated herself to educating children. A passionate teacher, Marion Potts proudly pinned her pupils’ work to her classroom walls. She had no idea this simple gesture was exposing her to asbestos that would eventually lead to her death. Marion Potts was head of English at The Romsey School, in Hants,but retired two years ago due to ill health. The 63-year-old, who had worked at. numerous schools across the country and abroad, died in June from. mesothelioma, a cancer associated with the toxic substance. An. inquest heard the only place she could have been exposed to it was at. school, where it can be released from walls in older buildings when. displays are put up with drawing pins. Mrs. Potts, known to friends as Jane, is one of more than 140 UK teachers to. die from mesothelioma over the past decade, leading to calls to remove. asbestos from schools. At her inquest in Southampton, coroner Keith. Wiseman said: ‘Mrs Potts particularly mentioned a variety of occasions –. such as basic matters like putting up a display with drawing pins –. where this material would come out of the walls or when they were. damaged by pupils.’ Recording. a verdict of death from industrial disease, Mr Wiseman added: ‘I hope. all the necessary steps are taken in the future to ensure the. elimination of this substance.’ Marion Potts last worked at Romsey School in Hampshire which has been declared safe by Hampshire County Council. It is not known where she was exposed to asbestos. Marion Potts was head of English at The Romsey School and was described as 'passionate' and 'caring' The. inquest heard it was not known at which school the teacher was exposed. to asbestos. She retired from her most recent position as the head of. English at The Romsey School, in Hampshire, two years ago after falling. ill. Before that she worked at the New Forest Academy in Holbury. But. education bosses insist that both Hampshire schools where Mrs Potts. worked are safe. Only last. year an all-party Parliamentary group warned that 75 per cent of schools. nationwide expose children and staff to asbestos. Mrs Potts’ husband. Michael, 63, a retired banker, called for it to be removed from schools. immediately and said he was considering legal action. Around 2,500 people died from asbestos related illnesses in the UK in 2008 with millions thought to be affected. He. added: ‘You usually associate the disease with dockers or those working. in industrial jobs, not teachers. These buildings are 50 years old and. asbestos will come out because kids are always running around, banging. into things and people stick things into the wall. She was never made. aware of these dangers.’ Former colleagues described Mrs Potts as ‘dedicated and passionate’. Jonathan. de Sausmarez, executive head at The Romsey School, said: ‘Jane was a. very good teacher, very thorough and very professional. She cared very. much for the students.’ Hampshire. County Council leader Roy Perry said the authority had been ‘managing’ asbestos in schools since 1997. He added: ‘We inspected all. asbestos-containing materials at the New Forest Academy in August and. can reassure staff, governors, parents and pupils that the school site. is safe. ‘Romsey School. will have been checked by the council from 2005 onwards, prior to. becoming an academy, and it would have received a clean bill of health. as we are not aware of any problem there.’ Asbestos. was widely used in the UK as a building material up until 1985 when the. use of most types was banned. It was completely banned from new. buildings in 1999. The toxic. material is closely associated with Second Consortium of Local. Authorities schools, which are prefab buildings developed as a temporary. measure in the 1960s in response to the baby boom. National. Union of Teachers representative Pete Sopowski said: ‘There’s a huge. problem in schools. It’s a case of which schools don’t have it rather. than which do.’
Q: Vivid is a well-known and respected company in the porn industry. Vivid puts big budgets behind its movies, not only to get talent and directors. The company has made a name for itself in the celeb sex tape market.
****
A: In August, while 450 of Hollywood's A-list guests gathered at a lavish estate in California to celebrate Kim Kardashian's fairytale wedding, about 2 million people honored the special occasion in their own way: by watching "Kim Kardashian, Superstar," the hardcore sex tape she made with musician Ray J. on the website of the adult video company Vivid Entertainment. Vivid is one of the most well-known companies in the porn industry -- its superhero parody flick "Batman XXX" was the best-selling adult movie of 2010, according to adult video news (AVN). "When we started this business about 26 years ago, it was completely different than it is today," says Vivid founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch. "It was a very small business. The people in the business didn't really talk about it; they were sort of underground. Over time, it really started to change and I think we had a lot to do with that. We began to really court the media, go out there and talk about our movies and talk about our girls." Vivid further distinguished itself from other companies by putting six-figure budgets behind its movies, not only to get talent and prominent adult film directors like Axel Braun and B. Skow, but for high production value, quality writing (yes, pornos have scripts!) and marketing. In the '80s, a billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles promoted Vivid's stars and the company hired a publicist and created media kits, all of which had never been done in that industry before. "These things that were so obvious in the mainstream world, we brought to adult," Hirsch says. "We were able to get articles written in Time, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, where they were talking about the business of adult (films) and how much money there was in it. That turned the tide away from people thinking all of the girls are drug addicts and prostitutes and this is sort of the last stop." Today, a top in-house Vivid production takes about six months from start to finish and can cost several hundred thousand dollars. Vivid also decided to follow the old Hollywood studio model of signing their female actresses, also known as Vivid Girls, to exclusive contracts. "The theory being," Hirsch says, "that if we were going to spend the money on promoting them, we didn't want the girls to make movies for other companies." Jenna Jameson, now retired, is still widely regarded as the most famous and successful Vivid Girl. Currently, Vivid has only two contract girls, Allie Haze and Capri Anderson, the latter of whom is best known for being the woman who was with Charlie Sheen at New York's Plaza Hotel last October in one of the well publicized events that ultimately cost him his job on the TV show "Two and a Half Men." In addition to the skin-flicks that Vivid has produced over the last two decades, the company now has a very successful parody division that puts an X-rated spin on mainstream Hollywood blockbusters like "Batman," "Iron Man," "Spider-Man," and "Star Wars." In addition to its own productions, Vivid is also known for buying celebrity sex tapes. More than 10 years ago Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee caused a stir when a sex tape from their honeymoon was leaked to the public. Vivid bought the Internet rights and that video remains Vivid's best-performing celebrity tape ever, according to Hirsch. "Although at some point," Hirsch says, "I expect the Kim tape to surpass that." Since then, Vivid has purchased Paris Hilton's famous "1 Night in Paris," and tapes featuring former "Girl Next Door" Kendra Wilkinson, actor Laurence Fishburne's daughter Montana Fishburne, former WWE wrestler Chyna, country singer Mindy McCready, "American Idol" finalist Jessica Sierra and reality show star Tila Tequila. "With the Internet, people feel more comfortable with celebrities than ever before," Hirsch says. "They follow them on Twitter and on Facebook, so it's just a natural progression that they'd be interested in seeing them in an adult movie where they're much different than we're used to. The fact is that if you look at the celebrity tapes that have come out, if you look at Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, it's done nothing but help their careers." Montana Fishburne cited Kardashian's meteoric rise as the inspiration for her foray into the adult industry. She told TMZ, "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape." Kardashian sued Vivid when Vivid first made the sex tape public. The legal battle ended with a monetary settlement in which Kardashian would share in the profits, Hirsch said. Vivid puts a lot of resources into its celebrity division. "It's so important to have unique content," Hirsch says, because "the typical stuff" can be watched free on the Internet. "When it comes to celebrity tapes, there are very few of them," he says. "Remember, there are a few thousand adult movies produced every year; there's maybe three celebrity tapes. "There is not a single day that goes by that we don't get a phone call from some guy claiming to have some tape on some celebrity." Ninety-nine percent of them, he says, "are bogus." What's his dream celebrity tape? Hirsch once answered that question by naming Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Today he says, "Kate and William wouldn't be too bad." But let's get realistic. "We're often surprised by some of the people we don¹t think would do it and show a little passing interest," Hirsch says. "But I¹m not going to name any names. You'll just have to see."

Agonist‐Induced Activation of Rat Mesenteric Resistance Vessels: Comparison Between Noradrenaline and Vasopressin
The effects of noradrenaline (NA, 10−5 M) and [arginine8]vasopressin (AVP, 107 M) on tension in Ca2+ -free medium and on membrane potential, and the inhibition of NA- and AVP-induced contractions by isradipine, have been compared in mesenteric resistance vessels (MRVs) from Wistar–Kyoto (WKY) rats. The release of intracellular Ca2+ by AVP contributed significantly less to its tension development than does that by NA. Nonetheless, the concentration-response curves for inhibition by isradipine of NA- and AVP-induced tonic tension were nearly identical. Similarly, these two agonists produced the same degree of membrane depolarization. In addition, both agonists were able to stimulate large contractions in vessels previously depolarized by 80 mM K−. AVP also stimulated 45Ca influx into rat cultured aortic smooth muscle cells. In contrast to the stimulation of 45Ca influx by KCI depolarization, the agonist-stimulated 45Ca influx was insensitive to inhibition by organic Ca2+ antagonists. It is concluded that Cap+ entry through receptor-operated Ca2+ -permeable channels (ROCs) may contribute to agonist-induced activation of rat aortic and MRV smooth muscle.

Sensing and Presencing Rare Plants through Contemporary Drawing Practice
Navigating through three distinct sites of knowledge ‐ the seventeenth-century treatise on Malabar’s plants, Hortus Malabaricus; historical herbaria; and protected areas of remote forests and coastal regions of Kerala ‐ the project will stimulate innovative
modes of drawing through considerations relating to the collection and preservation of rare plants. Generating a distinctive body of artworks at world-leading plant science research facilities and in the bio-diverse South Indian rainforest, the research asks: can drawing represent the vulnerabilities
and resilience of rare plants, not through illustration and gathering information by creating marks on a substrate, but as a material phenomenon that can generate new knowledge?

The genetics of morphological and behavioral island traits in deer mice
Animals on islands often exhibit dramatic differences in morphology and behavior compared to mainland individuals, a phenomenon known as the "island syndrome". These differences, such as changes in body size and aggression, are thought to be adaptations to island environments, where there are high resource levels, low predation, limited dispersal, and thus high population densities. However, the extent to which island traits have a genetic basis or instead represent plastic responses to environmental extremes is often unknown. Here, we revisit a classic case of island syndrome in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from British Columbia. Previous field studies suggested that Saturna Island mice evolved several island traits, including higher body weight and reduced aggression relative to mainland populations. Using historical collections, we show that Saturna Island mice and those from neighboring islands are approximately 35% (~5g) heavier than mainland mice. We then collected mice from two focal populations: Saturna Island and a nearby mainland population. First, using molecular data, we find that these populations are genetically distinct, having diverged approximately 10 thousand years ago. Second, we established laboratory colonies and find that Saturna Island mice are heavier both because they are longer and have disproportionately more lean mass. These trait differences are maintained in second-generation captive-born mice raised in a common environment, implying a strong heritable component. In addition, island-mainland hybrids are heavier when born to island mothers than to mainland mothers, revealing a maternal genetic effect on body weight. Next, using behavioral testing in the lab, we also find that wild-caught island mice are less aggressive than mainland mice. However, lab-raised mice born to these founders do not differ in aggression, regardless of whether they are tested in conditions that induce low or high aggression, suggesting the large behavioral difference observed between wild-caught island and mainland individuals is likely a plastic response. Together, our results reveal that these mice respond differently to environmental conditions on islands – evolving both heritable changes in a morphological trait and also expressing a plastic phenotypic response in a behavioral trait.

TaqI digestion reveals fractions of satellite DNAs on human chromosomes.
Restriction endonuclease TaqI has been known as a nonbanding restriction endonuclease when it is used on fixed human chromosomes. However, a specific TaqI digestion can be obtained after varying experimental conditions such as concentration of enzyme, time of incubation, and volume of the final reaction mixture. This digestion consists of an extensive DNA loss in heterochromatin subregions of chromosomes 1, 9, 15, 16, and Y. These regions essentially coincide with those corresponding to the main chromosome locations of satellite II DNA, whose tandem repeated units contain many TaqI target sequences, and some satellite III DNA domains enriched in TaqI sites.

SLU7 and a novel activity, SSF1, act during the PRP16‐dependent step of yeast pre‐mRNA splicing.
Understanding the mechanism of pre‐mRNA splicing requires the characterization of all components involved. In the present study, we used the genetically and biochemically defined yeast PRP16 protein as a point of departure for the identification of additional factors required for the second catalytic step in vitro. We isolated by glycerol gradient sedimentation spliceosomes that were formed in yeast extracts depleted of PRP16. This procedure separated the spliceosomal complexes containing lariat intermediate and exon 1 from free proteins present in the whole‐cell yeast extract. We then supplemented these spliceosomes with purified proteins or yeast extract fractions as a functional assay for second‐step splicing factors. We show that SLU7 protein and a novel activity that we named SSF1 (second‐step factor 1) were required in concert with PRP16 to promote progression through the second catalytic step of splicing. Taking advantage of a differential ATP requirement for PRP16 and SLU7 function, we show that SLU7 can act after PRP16 in the splicing pathway.

Taking advantage of a differential ATP requirement for PRP16 and SLU7 function, we show that SLU7 can act after PRP16 in the splicing pathway.","abstract_count":159,"abstract_language":"en","abstract_perplexity":-14.54046481377141,"extfieldsofstudy":["Biology","Medicine"],"provenance":"pes2o_v2-0006.json.gz:337684","s2fieldsofstudy":["Biology"],"sha1":"5add119b6e849bac374256111c91cb6066fb18a9","sources":["MergedPDFExtraction","Unpaywall","Wiley","MAG","Medline"],"title":"SLU7 and a novel activity, SSF1, act during the PRP16\u2010dependent step of yeast pre\u2010mRNA splicing.","title_count":15,"title_language":"en","title_perplexity":-18.4161755941896,"top_frequencies":[{"count":11,"token":"the"},{"count":8,"token":"of"},{"count":5,"token":"and"},{"count":5,"token":"a"},{"count":5,"token":"yeast"},{"count":5,"token":"in"},{"count":4,"token":"SLU7"},{"count":4,"token":"PRP16"},{"count":4,"token":"for"},{"count":4,"token":"that"},{"count":3,"token":"step"},{"count":3,"token":"splicing"},{"count":3,"token":"we"},{"count":3,"token":"We"},{"count":2,"token":"novel"},{"count":2,"token":"act"},{"count":2,"token":"pre\u2010mRNA"},{"count":2,"token":"splicing."},{"count":2,"token":"present"},{"count":2,"token":"protein"},{"count":2,"token":"as"},{"count":2,"token":"required"},{"count":2,"token":"second"},{"count":2,"token":"catalytic"},{"count":2,"token":"spliceosomes"},{"count":2,"token":"were"},{"count":2,"token":"proteins"},{"count":2,"token":"with"},{"count":2,"token":"show"},{"count":1,"token":"activity,"},{"count":1,"token":"SSF1,"},{"count":1,"token":"during"},{"count":1,"token":"PRP16\u2010dependent"},{"count":1,"token":"Understanding"},{"count":1,"token":"mechanism"},{"count":1,"token":"requires"},{"count":1,"token":"characterization"},{"count":1,"token":"all"},{"count":1,"token":"components"},{"count":1,"token":"involved."},{"count":1,"token":"In"},{"count":1,"token":"study,"},{"count":1,"token":"used"},{"count":1,"token":"genetically"},{"count":1,"token":"biochemically"},{"count":1,"token":"defined"},{"count":1,"token":"point"},{"count":1,"token":"departure"},{"count":1,"token":"identification"},{"count":1,"token":"additional"},{"count":1,"token":"factors"},{"count":1,"token":"vitro."},{"count":1,"token":"isolated"},{"count":1,"token":"by"},{"count":1,"token":"glycerol"},{"count":1,"token":"gradient"},{"count":1,"token":"sedimentation"},{"count":1,"token":"formed"},{"count":1,"token":"extracts"},{"count":1,"token":"depleted"},{"count":1,"token":"PRP16."},{"count":1,"token":"This"},{"count":1,"token":"procedure"},{"count":1,"token":"separated"},{"count":1,"token":"spliceosomal"},{"count":1,"token":"complexes"},{"count":1,"token":"containing"},{"count":1,"token":"lariat"},{"count":1,"token":"intermediate"},{"count":1,"token":"exon"},{"count":1,"token":"1"},{"count":1,"token":"from"},{"count":1,"token":"free"},{"count":1,"token":"whole\u2010cell"},{"count":1,"token":"extract."},{"count":1,"token":"then"},{"count":1,"token":"supplemented"},{"count":1,"token":"these"},{"count":1,"token":"purified"},{"count":1,"token":"or"},{"count":1,"token":"extract"},{"count":1,"token":"fractions"},{"count":1,"token":"functional"},{"count":1,"token":"assay"},{"count":1,"token":"second\u2010step"},{"count":1,"token":"factors."},{"count":1,"token":"activity"},{"count":1,"token":"named"},{"count":1,"token":"SSF1"},{"count":1,"token":"(second\u2010step"},{"count":1,"token":"factor"},{"count":1,"token":"1)"},{"count":1,"token":"concert"},{"count":1,"token":"to"},{"count":1,"token":"promote"},{"count":1,"token":"progression"},{"count":1,"token":"through"},{"count":1,"token":"Taking"},{"count":1,"token":"advantage"},{"count":1,"token":"differential"}],"year":1995},"source":"s2","version":"v3-fos"}

Problem: Write a positive (OPTIONS:

A: Named after the famous Breton butter pastry, Boulangerie Kouign Amann looks as though it could be as old as many of the pastry stores in Paris and with chipped signage in red and yellow you'd barely notice it unless you were looking - though judging from my ten minute visit the locals certainly know it is there. Manned by two bakers and a young woman serving as the hostess and cashier it was not long after I entered that I was asking in French, then in fluent English if I knew what I wanted and deferring to allow others to proceed I browsed the options largely to wait for a the last slice of the restaurant's namesake to be packed up so a new, fresh one would be procured from the wire racks; at that point I stepped forward and placed my order for the two items I'd come for plus a third selection at the young woman's suggestion. With each item packed in brown paper and a modest tab of two toonies and a loonie paid I stepped into the street to enjoy my items and beginning first with the item suggested by the server I nearly went back inside to buy more as the Raspberry Custard Danish would prove to be the best Danish I've ever had - a flaky butter pastry stuffed with rich vanilla custard at its center plus a half-dozen ruby colored berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. Soft and dense but with a light crackle along the edges plus soft hints of butter and cream melding with the slightly tart raspberries - it was remarkable to put it lightly. Moving next to my selections, well, when an outstanding almond croissant isn't the best pastry of the day you know you ordered right. Beginning first with the croissant, a double-baked beauty loaded with sliced toasted almonds and a light dusting of powdered sugar, it was perhaps the messiest version of the pastry I've ever tasted as it shattered with each bite releasing crumbs, almonds, and sugar in plethora. With a soft center rife with butter and only a kiss of frangipane it was divine - I almost went back for another. For the final bite - the signature Kouign Amann, but this time different from those I'd experienced prior as the large butter pastry was actually a cheese-like wheel subsequently cut into slices with a crackling caramelized top and bottom surrounding what essentially tasted like butter and sugar suspended in air. Light and perfect, texturally complex, and still warm - if you live within a roadtrip of Montreal this is reason enough to go (amongst so many others.)

Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive) review?
Answer: Location, Location, Location. This place suffers because its in the tomb known as Lincoln Square. If you are lucky enough to have a seat where you can see the mall "activity", it will be homeless men, mall-walkers, health insurance mega-corporation employees, and an occasional congressman. When you add to that the fact that the service is horrible, the decor dingy, and the food sub-par, you get two stars from me. This community hosts the nation's public university with the largest enrollment of Asian students, over 6,500 Chinese and Koreans. So we know and respect good Asian food. This is not good. Its oily, trite, and nothing unique about it. Getting a pair of chopsticks in this place is more difficult than asking for them in McDonalds. I am only refraining for one-starring them because the food improved the most recent time I was there and I have hope for the future. Avoid the Twice-Cooked Pork because it is white and steamed, instead of the dark sliced pork typical of the dish. Avoid the fried rice because it is just white steamed rice with soy sauce and grease poured on it.

Output: Their quinoa veggie burger is the best veggie burger I've had in a long time. It's not dry, it's flavorful and has texture to it. This is a place where I consciously choose to make room for dessert. The bread pudding is amazing, it's light, it's fluffy, it's sweet but not *just* sweet. You know how some desserts just seem to have only one taste setting and they might as well have brought you a huge pile of sugar? The souffle is delicious as well. Nice atmosphere, relaxed but classy.

Ultrasonic fetal weight estimation and tolerance to measurement error: a comparative analysis.
The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that volumetric formulae for fetal weight estimation are more tolerant to measurement error than exponential models. A mathematical model of normal fetal growth was constructed, using published British reference standards for biometric variables. Observed measurements were computer-generated by contaminating reference measurements with error terms according to their published coefficients of variation. The error in weight estimation was computed as the percentage difference between weight estimates derived from the observed biometric variables and the true measurements. A total of nine weight estimation formulae were tested. Campbell's formula appeared to be most affected by observational errors, especially before 38 weeks. In this range, they varied up to 9%. The most tolerant was Shepard's formula, with errors of only approximately 2.8%. Other formulae showed errors of approximately 5-6%. With the exception of Campbell's formula, the effect of gestational age was minimal. There was no correlation between percentage error and fetal size. Combining ultrasound biometric variables into a fetal weight estimate does not always exaggerate the errors of the original measurements. There were no significant differences between volumetric and exponential formulae.

Embrace The Suck
h/t WRSA
Italy Lombardy region is on the brink. Retired doctors summoned, nursing students field promoted to graduation. Just under 10% of Lombardy's #COVID19 cases need ICU. 10% of doctors/nurses have already caught #coronavirus and in quarantine. Jesus.
The head of the Lombardy's intensive care crisis unit says the health system is on the brink of collapse, intensive care being set up in hallways. By March 26 they predict ~18,000 #Covid19 cases in Lombardy, of which ~3,000 will need intensive care.
The U.S. will not automagically do it better because "'Merica, f**k yeah!". In fact, more than likely, we'll do it worse. 50 states' licensing boards are not going to overnight drop their standards for getting a nursing license. Which license only confers on a shiny new grad the 80% likelihood than on any given day, they won't kill their patient outright. It takes six months of baby-steps precepted training to make a specialty nurse that can operate without training wheels, and 10-18 months' time practicing in that specialty to become a certified functional badass. You won't teach nurses how to function faster simply by pointing a blowtorch up their butts, and getting a license is a wee bit more involved than getting a diploma from the Wizard of Oz.
And we're not set up (and never have been), outside the 4 BL-IV level bio-hazard wards in the entire U.S., to deal with a highly infectious pandemic, nor surge capacity anywhere to 4000% of normal census.
Not. Going. To. Happen. Evah.
So what you'll get, is what I've described on these pages previously.
A FEMA Kung Flu Treatment Center in a sports auditorium, or convention center.
No isolation. lots of cots in an open-air open-grid coughatorium. Genius!
No licensed personnel (except some poor schlub or two, holding the bag and supervising an army of well-meaning amateurs).
No PPE equipment for staff, and certainly nowhere near enough of anything, but patients.
Were talking, on our best day, Crimean War-era levels of hospital care.
(Hint: Horrible hospital care put the "crime" into Crimean. 900,000 soldiers out of 1,650,000 soldiers on all sides died in it, most from disease, not combat or wounds from it.)
Care so bad Florence Nightingale had to invent modern nursing science to fix the death rate. How did America do at that? Google Civil War hospitals 6-10 years later, and Clara Barton. Same damned thing, even with years of a head start.
Because you can't pull hospital beds (just regular ones, let alone ICU beds) for millions of people out of your ass on the fly if you don't know what you're doing, and we won't do that either. By the time anyone realizes this and takes it to heart, it's going to be time for bulldozers and bonfires.
I repeat for emphasis:
Shit Mardi Gras.
This is why I keep telling you to do things so you don't get this virus. Maybe you'll be in the lucky 80%, for whom it's just a PITA. Millions of your friends, neighbors, and your family, FFS, may not be as lucky. Start working out how you and yours might start self-quarantining, before it becomes mandatory instead of an option. And if you can do so, do it.
And you should take a long, loving look at the healthcare system that was the envy of the world. Take some souvenir photos. If this goes Shit Mardi Gras, like it apparently has in Italy, it's probably going bye-bye for the duration. If not altogether and for good.
Pay close attention to those last two points at the bottom.
Math optional, but recommended. When 40% of your staff is
symptomatic, in a viral outbreak with a 2-28 day latent
period, you're not crippled; you're DONE.
Start wrapping your heads around the increasing likelihood of those unpleasant realities.
It'll hurt less than waiting until you do a faceplant in the brick wall at 60MPH if you wait until five minutes after it's already too late.
Like the government - here, there, everywhere - is doing.
I'd love - LOVE - if I turn out to be all wrong on this (as would half a dozen armchair sceptics with low-level IQs and government-level critical thinking skills).
And I'm frankly scared shitless of being spot-on. It's not fun to contemplate.
But I've yet to see any promising news from anywhere, and I've been sciencing the shit out this since late January, when it hit radar.
And a curmudgeonly pessimist is rarely ever disappointed in how things turn out, but occasionally pleasantly surprised.

Our COVID-19 patient is dead, but luckily at least one of our nurses that was quarantined for the virus turns out NOT to have it.
Now we wait for the others.
Tasties said...
Have you heard anything about how it affects young children? I have a 4 yr old and a 6 month old. If we have to do any “self-quarantining”, they’re gonna get it.
I have heard conflicting information. Some reports are “kids don’t even show symptoms”. Some are “kids are like the elderly”. Or you hear nothing.
EasyCompany said...
So, what should someone like me do?
I have endocarditis and take warfrin and need to get tested for it regularly.
I get check at the hospital because the clinic is filled with people/kids that, at least a third, are hacking & coughing.
If I tell my cardiologist that I'm not going because of C-19, can they declare me as "non-compliant" and drop me?
I live in rural northern Michigan and finding doctors isn't easy and there is only one healthcare system (Munson) in this area.
Anonymous said...
Beds - no. Hammocks - maybe. Takes up less space and entire assembly can be boiled for killing virus (I think - no idea if that would kill COVID strain). Tying poles to sides can convert to stretcher if required.
EasyCompany - my condolences. I am in much same predicament (replaced mechanical heart valve some years back requires blood thinners) and I have only a 90 day warfrin supply. I intend to call my GP today and see if I can get more. Good luck finding a solution !!

Thanks again.

Hey guys,
has anyone seen anything about the early patient that was sent to Nebraska and admitted to the BL-4 ward?
Or heard anything out of USAMRIID or Nebraska?
I'm still curious about the jewish lawyer in NY and why nothing mentions where he might have picked up his case. That multipage article with his wife's apology and more background only mentions Miami in passing at the very end. It's odd, because every single article about a case lists or speculates about where the case might have originated, but not this guy.

I think we are prepared. But keep looking for opportunities missed. Luckily as of last weekend here in S New England most of the sheeple are still enjoying the CDC hopium and thinking, 'its just the flu'. Good. Keep em calm and from buying up everything until I'm sure I've got all we need. Plan is when they are freaking I'll be at home chilling but prepared to man the defenses if needed.
I too was hoping I was 'wasting money' starting back in Jan. Oh well. Another case of no way out but through.

There is stupid and then there is MO stupid. Our first case identified this weekend in St. Louis county. Family said they would self-quarantine. Evidently, their version of self-quarantine was for the father to take his other daughter to the school dance that shit. Now public health officials in St. Louis country are telling the family if they don't self quarantine, they will forced quarantine them. Oh, BTW, the infected family member just got back from Italy and took AMTRAK from Chicago to St. Louis on their return trip.

You've got 21st century medical issues requiring 21st century drugs so you're pretty much screwed when supply chains falter. BUT rather than *totally* give in to that fact you might look to 19th century medicines for the heart but realize that you'll most likely get the lower mortality rates of that same century. Before aspirin we had white willow bark that contains Salicin. Apparently, Beethoven died from an overdose! (kidney damage)
Natural blood thinners are turmeric, ginger (also contains salicylic acid), cinnamon, cayenne and Vitamin E. There's lots of scientific research on cayenne (boosts circulation and lowers blood pressure)so out of the list cayenne would be #1 with turmeric coming in 2nd. Cayenne is good (mixed with hot water) for heart attack and stroke victims. Do your own research! Also in my medicine cabinet is bentonite clay. It can be taken internally for food poisoning and applied externally on wounds and spider bites. Again, lots of research on how it works with staph infections, MRSA, etc.
Note to Aesop: When it's down to field medicine with limited supplies I'd prefer a wee bit of plant hopium before throwing in the towel completely. I'm an old school herbalist and you're a modern drug guy but we're most likely gonna be peddling back in time when Native American mud was really amazing stuff.

What bothers me is the CDC, Canada, and god knows who else have had samples of this virus for years and done exactly what? These morons cost billions of dollars a year and their not even developing vaccines? Partnering with FEMA for better outbreak response? Maybe just stockpiling enough PPE to handle this sort of thing?
To me it's as ignorant as an army planners not ordering bullets!
George True said...
One thing that struck me from the nursing home status update is the ratio of patients (120) to staff (180). That is 1.5 staff members per patient. I never realized just how many people it takes to care for elderly people in long term care facilities. If (when) this hits LTC facilities everywhere, probably at least a third of the staff is going to get it too. Another third of the staff might very well leave and never come back. There will be essentially skeleton crews trying unsuccessfully to adequately care for the elderly and infirm residents. The death rate in these facilities is likely to be quite high. These folks already have one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel.

WRT mask use, in just this one article from Italy, the ordinary people are 7 for 7 wearing good respirators incorrectly. I can see in the pix that they don't have the straps positioned properly, or have not formed the nose wire to fit their faces.
Most of the masks are just surgical masks, serving only to keep chunks out of your mouth and to keep your chunks in, and even then, as simple as those masks are, there are at least two people wearing them incorrectly.
Among the uniforms and medical "auxiliary" people, the ones with actual respirators have only about 2/3 are worn correctly, and many have just the surgical mask for protection.
No wonder it's spreading.
and no, I don't think their use of masks should be restricted, but we'd be much better served by having them shown the correct way to wear them, so that good respirators with exhaust valves even, aren't completely wasted.

I've read from a couple of (questionable) sources that KungFlu contains TB as a third component which is why children ages 5-12 fare better. However, in this early report from "The Lancet" they studied a familial cluster and asymptomatic children had ground-glass lungs according to the CT scan. A one year old recovered and was released from hospital.
With ordinary influenza-bro we expect to fully recover and carry on as before. With this virus we don't know what "recovery" looks like. We don't know if the lungs healed or if the kids got reinfected and succumbed. We've got enough cases in the US, like the first patient in Washington state that recovered, to use as lab rats. Maybe some super-spreaders from cruise ships and throw in a couple of autopsies from the Kirkland nursing home for good measure.
In the meantime, we don't know just how deadly (or not) this bug really is and our Top Men at the CDC and scientific institutions are looking like blatant criminals with each passing day.

Kind of like, you live in an earthquake zone. Put some more rebar in your foundation. Type info.
Seems to me every time one of these situations comes along. The guy that's been extorting money to cover it all along is the most flatfooted/surprised that something happened of the crew.
And as for testing vaccines. I knew a guy in Vacaville state prison/hospital that use to get paid for doing medical trials.

My wife an RN, just called me from the hospital. There are no Kung Flu cases yet, but we live in a fairly remote part of the eastern Sierras. The surge tent was set up last week.
One of the surgical techs my wife works with just received a call from a friend who is in Italy and has been on vacation there. There 14 friends from the US touring together in Italy. All 14 have come down with Kung Flu. I suspect they were using public transportation. One of the group is a 30 year old male in good shape. He was placed on a ventilator and taken away to a place unknown.
Perhaps there is something to the suggestion that Italy and Iran have a more virulent strain of the Kung Fly that can infect younger people as well as old.

So, I took my 86 y/o mom to the oral surgeon to consult on a procedure, was in the room when he came in, I stood to be polite he reached out to shake my hand I just raised them and shook my head, and said no offence he seemed annoyed at that and said the "well media has a lot of folks scared lately" O wanted to say check please but it was not my call, we have a follow up April 6, I wonder what the odds are his office will be closed by them.

Between you and CA at WRSA, I would like to hear any thoughts on a post WuFlu reckoning.
From our Administration, thru the CDC, down to local health officials, school administrators, etc. etc. Will the people demand accountability?
An under-informed buddy asked (via text) if I was going to car show this Friday. Big event, indoor venue, sponsored by O’Reilly Auto Parts. I said no and that O’Reilly should rethink having the event. In my mind, O’reilly is assuming the risk by having the event. They have an identifiable Board...
Now transpose that to the college where my daughter works. No closure until profs get lesson plans online. So instead of telling profs get your shit in one sock, 40,000 student continue to mingle. I see the Chancellor around town...
I would think that our state and county politicians, bureaucrats, and emergency managers would be lucky if all they took away from a pandemic was a lifelong limp or needed to be spoon fed for 6 months. Do cruise line COO’s have PSDs?
Probably the most that people will due is stage a protest, cause those work so well.

Hello all. A word to the wise. I have seen reports of wu-flu being detected in the air ducts of hospital rooms that have been used for isolating patients. I have installed commercial HVAC systems for going on 30 years. Every hospital I have worked on and there have been dozens have return air systems that recirculate the air in the hospital after conditioning and freshening. There is generally no cleansing of virus or bacteria in the air stream. If you need to take someone to a hospital be prepared to where an n-95 mask when in any hospital for any reason.

Here's the "Brutal Truth" per Covid-19...hat tip to WRSA...enjoy!!!
soapweed said...
A foot in the forest: Sir, As a former owner/slave/peon of a heavy commercial/industrial mechanical service contracting firm for 30 years, we have had multi year service contracts in 7 major hospitals in Colo, Wyo, and SD. and additional work on a short term basis with others. You are correct that the return air systems are one of the many Achilles heels in the healthcare facilities. The neg pressure treatment areas are few and quite small in treatment net square footage.
Doctors keeping up with treatment protocols and supplemental/alternative education is zip, unless it involves a convention in Vegas or Aspen
We are sooooo pleased with retirement, we feel for the political ass sucking involved with plant maintenance honchos and hack directors you now must endure for a paycheck......
Unknown said...
I am not as prepared as I'd like but will isolate and feelingmake do. I too am thinking of the 'after' more and more that this can only end in a fight. Not sure how or what but this event is going to be used for every excuse ad to why the financial system collapses to gun control. Want to bet the organizers of the 2A march and their families are already on the quarantine list? That Trump will get sick? The options for the controllers are unlimited... (evil laughter)

[Interaction of lung cancer cells and fibroblasts].
Fibroblasts are found to secrete several factors, but complex interactions between cancer cells and fibroblasts are not well known. In this report, it was discussed how fibroblasts derived from lung cancer tissues affected lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. As results, the growth of 4 of eight cancer cells was promoted by any medium conditioned by fibroblasts (C.M) in vitro. Fifty percent of the 12 fibroblasts had some effect on promoting the growth of cancer cells, but had no effect on suppressing cancer cells. The C.Ms promoting the growth of cancer cells in vitro exerted the same effect in nude mice, too. Coinoculation of fibroblasts and cancer cells into nude mice gained higher tumorigenicity than cancer cells alone with no relation to their subclasses. It was suggested that to examine the effect on promoting the growth of cancer cells by fibroblasts derived from lung cancer tissues in vitro was able to prospect how fibroblasts affected cancer cells in vivo and fibroblasts made some good condition to transplanted cancer cells into nude mice by means different from growth factors.

I had just turned 21, and was extremely curious about sex with another man.
First time with a man. True story.
I had just turned 21, and was extremely curious about sex with another man. A
little history first. In 5th grade, I tasted my first cock when I licked my
neighbors dick. Me, my neighbor and his brother were looking at my dad's
magazines and somehow the conversation came up for me to try his dick in my
mouth. His brother seemed cool with it, and I thought what the hell.
His shorts were unzipped, and out came a 5" cock already erect, and dripping
slightly. I opened my mouth, and dropped to my knees. I tried to fit as much
into my mouth as I could. The salty taste of piss was strong. The younger
brother watched as his brothers dick went in and out of my mouth a few times.
It was very short lived though. I thought my parents would be home soon. Had I
known they weren't due back for another 30 min, I would have kept sucking my new
favorite treat. Sadly, that was the last dick I tasted for 7 more years.
In 6th grade, I discovered how sensitive my ass was when I was in the tub. The
warm water and bubbles felt so good as my finger circled my asshole, and after a
little ass tickling, I decided to edge my finger inside. Deeper and deeper
until my cock was rock hard, I began stroking myself till I had cum all over my
chest. Soon after, I then began to turn my toys into makeshift dildos.
A few years later, I discovered my parents had some toys, which I promptly used
when they were gone at work. I still played with my ass, and one of my
girlfriends even managed to slip a finger inside me once in a while as she
jacked me off.
Sadly, we broke up, and no other girlfriends that I had weren't even wanting to
try putting a finger in my ass, so I had another dryspell.
After I turned 18, I decided to check out the Book Ranch, our local porno shop.
They had video booths and my first few visits, I began to wonder why people kept
knocking on my locked door. I didn't realize what they wanted until I
accidentally opened the door to one guy on his knees, and a thick cock in his
This was before the gloryholes were cut. My curiosity got the better of me one
day. I saw one guy watching me as I made my way to the back of the store to
watch another video. I dont remember what he looked like just that he had a
nice cock.
I stepped into the booth slowly, and did not lock the door. As I fumbled
through my pockets for some quarters, the door slowly creaked open, and I turned
my head, smiled, and turned back to the tv screen and made way for him to come
I instinctively dropped to my knees, and took him into my mouth. His cock
smelled of sex, and his pubes kept tickling my nose, but I kept taking his dick.
Licking the tip, kissing the sides, just like I've seen the porno girls do it.
I wanted to taste his cum, so I grabbed the base and stroked his cock so that I
was jacking his dick with a closed mouth for his load. Within minutes, I was
rewarded for my efforts. I gagged a little, as it splashed my tongue, but was
soon swallowing a white hot load.
He zipped up and left, and I was still feeling the effects of a stiff body as I
wasn't used to being in that position. I had a few minutes left from my
quarters, so I started browsing the channels. I saw a few hot facial scenes,
then grabbed my rock hard cock, and blew a load into my palm.
This did not go to waste as I quickly slurped it down. I licked my palm dry,
zipped up, and headed for home to use a freshly purchased dildo (my own now) on
my ass.
Over the next few years, I would sometimes receive a blowjob when I went in,
which also felt great. I still wondered how a cock would be in my ass. I know
my toy felt great, but I wanted the real thing.
After I hit 21, I could go to the bars, and we had just 1 gay bar in town. I
left home, and got to the gay bar around 9 or so. It was right before
Thanksgiving, and it had snowed the night before.
The bar wasn't too crowded, everyone must have went back home for the holidays,
so I went up to the bar, sat down and ordered a beer. A couple beers later I
think I had enough courage to start talking to the guy a few stools down.
He soon found out that I was curious about getting fucked in my ass, and he let
it slip that he had a hot tub. We finished our drinks and I followed him to his
place. The warm water against a cold night always feels good.
He gave me a brief tour of his place, and we ended up in the changing area. His
tub was outside, about 15' away from the house. I said I dont have a suit, and
he told me it wasnt a problem and started to drop his pants.
So I began to take off my shirt, watching him get undressed as well. I pulled
my pants and underwear off which revealed my rock hard cock for a second. Before
I had a chance to stand all the way up, his warm lips were wrapped around my
dick. His tongue felt amazing as his mouth engulfed me.
He was at least 20 years older than me. I was pretty tense at the thought of
being totally nude with a man I just met. After a couple of long deep throats,
he handed me a towel and said there would be more of that outside as we stepped
into the cold night.
We made our way to the tub and hung our towels on a chair and beers next to the
tub. After entering the hot tub, we made some idle chitchat, as he scooted
closer to me. His hands begain rubbing my legs under the water, helping me
relax more.
He was about 6.5" hard, and uncircumsized. I'd seen a couple uncut dicks in the
showers, but never had a chance to touch one, but that was about to change.
A few beers, the hot water, the brief blowjob, and the cool air gave me the
courage to reach out to his cock.
We stroked eachother under the water, and his lips began to kiss my neck. He
licked my neck, and chest, and then my nipples. I told him I wanted to taste
his dick, and he stood up, with a rock hard prick inches away from my mouth.
I used both my hands on him, pulling back the extra skin exposing the head, the
water dripped off his almost hairless body. I slowly licked the tip. My tongue
wrapped around the head and I took my first uncut cock into my mouth. My saliva
soon flowed down his shaft.
His hands set on my head, began guiding my mouth back forth, in and out of my
mouth. I braced my body by putting my hands on his waist. It felt so good for
him to fuck my mouth. Here I was, just turned 21, and was stark naked in the
dawn of winter, sitting in a hot tub with a rock hard cock in my mouth. And it
felt good. I'm sure my actions could have been caught on camera, but I didnt
I remembered my experiences in the tub, and decided to start tickling his ass
with my finger. I used a little of the saliva that was sliding down his shaft
and down to his balls on his ass. I could hear him moan. After a minute or so
of this, I was soon rewarded with a few small streams of his cum in my mouth.
I gulped it down, and needed a chaser. I turned around to grab my beer, and the
sneaky son of a bitch had my cheeks spread open. I thought he was going to use
his finger on my ass like I just did his. What I felt next was not his finger.
Instead, it was his tongue, I almost came right there. His tongue darted all
over my asshole, I had no choice but to put my beer down and reach behind myself
and spread my cheeks for him. I was in extacy with each flick of his tongue.
I leaned back and said I wanted his cock inside me. He told me to finish my
beer and head inside. The beers, the heat, and chill of the night began to
combine with a freshly swallowed load, and the sensation of a tongue on my ass
got me dizzy. I stumbled inside, and told him i had to pee.
When I returned to his living room, he already had some porno on the tv. My
eyes became glued to his set watching 2 beefy men fuck and suck eachother. He
said to lay down on my back, as a rubber went over his shaft. With a few squirts
of lotion, he lubed my asscrack up, slowly going over my virgin hole. I felt
the pressure of his finger start to penetrate me.
With a nod of my head, his finger went deeper, ensuring I was lubed on the
inside. A few more moans and I felt my ass stretch more as his second finger
slipped inside me. I started stroking my cock very slowly. Little droplets of
precum were oozing out of my slit, and I rubbed it over the top of my head.
A few more minutes of him fingering my ass, I nodded that I was ready. I rolled
over on my stomach, and got propped up on my knees. I felt another squirt of
the cold lotion against my hot asshole, and then I felt the head of his cock
pressing into me. He kept telling me to relax, and soon his cock inched inside
This felt like the biggest thing I'd had in my ass ever, but I wanted more. It
felt really good the further he went inside. I kept watching the video he put
on, and he seemed to be timing his thrusts with those on the screen. As soon as
I saw that cock release from the ass on tv, I knew he was gonna cum. Again.
In seconds I was feeling hot splashes of cum on my back. My ass was still
gaping, so in back went his dick inside me. I rolled over, and he pushed back
inside me while I stroked my cock faster and faster. In seconds, cum began to
shoot all over my stomach, and chest, and each time his dick hit my prostate, I
shot a bit further. By the time my orgasm subsided, I was drenched in my own
cum covering my entire chest and was now running down my face and neck.
I cleaned up, headed home, and jacked my cock again to what just happened.
Let me know your comments, this is my first story.

5 March 1770: The Boston Massacre
The Boston Massacre by Paul Revere
The Boston Massacre by Paul Revere
A great deal of tension existed between the American colonies and the British government in the 1760s. In 1767 the Townshend Acts were passed by the British parliament in an attempt to enforce trade regulations and establish its right to tax the colonies.
The acts were unpopular with the colonists and customs officials felt they required military support to enforce them. British troops were deployed to police areas that were seen as becoming ungovernable, 3500 in Boston alone.
On 5 March 1770 a platoon of eight soldiers were sent to disperse an angry crowd that had gathered around an argument, between a soldier and a wig maker’s apprentice, over an unpaid bill. The crowd threw icy snowballs at the platoon, who panicked and opened fire.
Three civilians, Crispus Attucks, James Caldwell and Samuel Gray, were killed instantly at the scene. Two others, Patrick Carr and Samuel Maverick, died of their wounds later.
The soldiers were tried for murder but were successfully defended by future president John Adams in two trials. The trial of the platoon’s leader, Captain Preston, took place between 24 and 30 October 1770. The second trial between 27 November and 14 December 1770 was for the soldiers who fired the shots.
The popular opinion of the colonists was that the shootings were a deliberate act and an engraving by Paul Revere helped to promote this view. Prints of Revere’s engraving, showing defenceless civilians being fired upon by a line of British soldiers, were widely circulated. It was also reproduced on the front page of the Boston Gazette.

Religion and Rural Society: South Lindsey, 1825–1875. By James Obelkevich. Pp. xiv + 354. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976. £12.
1620s' (10), and thereby falls into the interpretative trap laid by the momentous religious changes of that decade. Not only does McGee's definition involve labelling the then archbishops of Canterbury and York, Abbot and Matthew, 'Puritans'; it also makes nonsense of English religious developments during the previous sixty years or, rather, it commits him to the view that 'Anglicans' were a suppressed minority under Elizabeth and James 1. In fact, as Calvinist bishops like Carleton and Davenant pointed out at the time, Puritanism in the 1620s was redefined by Arminians so as to include Calvinist predestinarian teachings. The problem posed by this redefinition has dogged Church of England history ever since and its importance cannot be overemphasised. Professor McGee seeks to distinguish his 'Anglicans' and 'Puritans' on die basis of their attitudes to different parts of the decalogue, concerning respectively"'man's duties toward God' and 'his neighbours'. In so doing he treats doctrinal Calvinists as 'Puritans', commenting that 'most Anglicans had a more optimistic opinion of the potential of human nature and reason' whereas 'all Puritans knew . . . that man's only hope was to recognise his own sinfulness and to pray for the grace to grapple with it' (70, 85-6). His book as a whole is open to much the same objection as can be levelled against its predecessor, John F. H. New's Anglican and Puritan, because both tend to disregard changes in historical reality. One such change is hinted at by McGee's all too brief sketch of the publisher Michael Sparke, lamenting in the mid-seventeenth century the bygone days of'preaching' archbishop Abbot. McGee's 'Anglicans' are novel products of the Laudian ascendancy and their emphasis on works as distinct from grace is a recent phenomenon. The same qualification holds for his discussion of 'Anglican' and 'Puritan' views concerning obedience. Seen in this revised light, however, some of the material which he assembles is interesting, for example on the theology of the Falkland circle. Intriguing, too, is the section on charity. Yet Laud's 'change of course' was the reverse of'slight' (225). It constituted a revolution.

SEM of glomerular microcirculation with special attention on afferent and efferent arterioles.
A re-evaluation on the glomerular microcirculatory unit was made by a simple corrosion casting technique coupled with SEM. The morphological details of minute vessels forming the microcirculatory unit of the glomerulus were described. In addition, new information concerning the major difference between afferent and efferent arterioles was documented. Using a low viscosity plastic as a casting medium, the afferent arterioles were readily distinguishable from the efferent arterioles. A single row of ovoid endothelial impressions was evident at the hilus of the afferent arteriole, suggesting the occurrence of a sphincter on this vessel but not on the efferent vessels which did not show impressions of endothelial cells.

Optically Active Vibrational Spectroscopy of α-Aminoisobutyric Acid Foldamers in Organic Solvents and Phospholipid Bilayers.
Helical α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) foldamers show great potential as devices for the communication of conformational information across phospholipid bilayers, but determining their conformation in bilayers remains a challenge. In the present study, Raman, Raman optical activity (ROA), infrared (IR) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopies have been used to analyze the conformational preferences of Aib foldamers in solution and when interacting with bilayers. A 310 -helix marker band at 1665-1668 cm-1 in Raman spectra was used to show that net helical content increased strongly with oligomer length. ROA and VCD spectra of chiral Aib foldamers provided the chiroptical signature for both left- and right-handed 310 -helices in organic solvents, with VCD establishing that foldamer screw-sense was preserved when the foldamers became embedded within bilayers. However, the population distribution between different secondary structures was perturbed by the chiral phospholipid. These studies indicate that ROA and VCD spectroscopies are valuable tools for the study of biomimetic structures, such as artificial signal transduction molecules, in phospholipid bilayers.

Laparoscopic management of bile peritonitis after liver biopsy.
Bile peritonitis is an infrequent complication of liver biopsy and is usually treated by supportive care or laparotomy. Fever, peritoneal signs, and hemoconcentration developed in a 56-year-old man 7 hr after biopsy. At laparoscopy, a large amount of cloudy, bilious fluid was aspirated using a suction-irrigation device. No liver injury or bile leak was seen. The patient gradually improved and, although he required percutaneous drainage of the subhepatic bile collection, did well. This case illustrates the new use of laparoscopy to manage bile peritonitis after liver biopsy. Compared with conventional laparotomy, this procedure has the advantages of lower intraoperative risk, shorter recovery time, and superior visualization of peritoneal contents.

Negative Creep
Back again, with a meme to complete. It arises from some comments thread in which Larry Teabag tried to pin down Paulie Hippy over the latter's definition of "negativism", a term he's fond of using.
Paulie seems to hold some weird ideas about the usefulness of blogs and what should be done with them. While I have some sympathy with his belief that people, generally, should spend more time making positive proposals than they do complaining, this strikes me as uncomfortably close to If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. That drove me up the wall when my mother said it years ago, and I'm inclined to respond with obscene gestures now.
So, I am a negativist, and I see little problem with being one. That's as much as I have to say on the subject, since Dsquared has already said it far better than I could.
Anyway, Larry wanted me to come up with seven things of which I'm in favour. I could use this for a short, sharp, witty post stuffed with absurdities, but I'm in more of a drawn-out, rambling, hectoring jeremiad mood... so I'll go with some basic beliefs I've formed after years of arsing about online.
1) I am strongly in favour of everybody chilling the fuck out.
It doesn't matter what the situation is, it's guaranteed that some joker will be mining it for maximum political benefit. Regardless, unless the story is Sky To Fall Tomorrow, the sky is not falling and it's probably worth calming down a bit. Which leads me to...
2) I'm in favour of bloggers recognising their own essential fartiness.
Even if the sky is falling, it will likely be indifferent to your deeply-held antipathy towards it.
3) I urge everyone to say exactly what they mean without dicking about.
e.g. "I favour strong action against terrorists," when you actually mean "I favour massive bombardment of heavily-populated urban areas, even if it doesn't actually kill many terrorists."
Or, "British workers must become more flexible to enliven the economy," when you mean "British workers must take pay cuts, work longer hours, sacrifice holidays and be prepared to move house at the drop of a hat."
Respect, as they say, goes both ways - it's basic good manners to assume that your readers are intelligent enough to notice attempts to sugarcoat unpalatable suggestions. This is why I started The Encyclopedia of Decency - not because the subjects were the worst for disingenuous bullshit, but because they disseminate it in such large quantities and don't get called on it nearly often enough. However...
4) I'm in favour of self-awareness, because nobody is perfect.
I'd like to think that my opinions were formed in the spirit of even-handedness and unbiased thought. Sadly, I suspect they're little more than a half-assed bundle of prejudices and wishful thinking, and that others may be similarly deficient. This is why we occasionally do and say stupid things, and I'm inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt for one-off acts of random daftness. Thus...
5) I'm strongly in favour of hot sauce, for the chilli is a divine gift handed down to humanity by the creator himself.
6) I'm in favour of general civility...
... but there are plenty outright malignant shits online, and the correct response to them is mockery. The author of this book is a prime example, but there's far, far worse out there. And finally...
7) I'm strongly in favour of short blog posts, and this one has gone on long enough.

The Behavior of the Salesforce Tower, the Tallest Building in San Francisco, California Inferred from Earthquake and Ambient Shaking
The newly constructed tallest building designed in conformance with performance-based design procedure in San Francisco, California is a 61-story building equipped with an accelerometric array that recorded the January 4, 2018 M4.4 Berkeley earthquake. The building is designed with concrete core shear walls and perimeter gravity steel columns. The earthquake records as well as on-demand recorded ambient responses of the building are studied to determine its dynamic characteristics and building-specific behavior. At the level of shaking of either the earthquake or ambient excitation, the frequencies and low modal damping ratios (<2%) are similar. The building exhibits torsional behavior most likely due to abrupt asymmetrical changes in the size of the core shear wall. The translational and torsional modes during the earthquake are closely coupled, which leads to a beating effect, the period of which is calculable. Due to the relatively low-amplitude shaking during the earthquake, the drift ratios were small and did not cause any damage. It is expected that during stronger shaking levels, these characteristics may change.

Highly Scalable SVM Modeling with Random Granulation for Spam Sender Detection
Spam sender detection based on email subject data is a complex large-scale text mining task. The dataset consists of email subject lines and the corresponding IP address of the email sender. A fast and accurate classifier is desirable in such an application. In this research, a highly scalable SVM modeling method, named Granular SVM with Random granulation (GSVM-RAND), is designed. GSVM-RAND applies bootstrapping to extract a number of subsets of samples from the original training dataset. Each training subset is then projected into a feature subspace randomly selected from the original feature space. Here we call a granule such a subset of samples in such a feature subspace. A local SVM is then modeled in each granule. For a new sample, it is firstly projected into each granule in which the local SVM is fired to make a prediction. After that, all SVM predictions are aggregated by Bayesian Sum Rule for a final decision. GSVM-RAND is easy to be parallelized and hence efficient and highly scalable. GSVM-RAND is also effective by integrating a large number of weak, low-correlated local SVMs.

In this research, a highly scalable SVM modeling method, named Granular SVM with Random granulation (GSVM-RAND), is designed. GSVM-RAND applies bootstrapping to extract a number of subsets of samples from the original training dataset. Each training subset is then projected into a feature subspace randomly selected from the original feature space. Here we call a granule such a subset of samples in such a feature subspace. A local SVM is then modeled in each granule. For a new sample, it is firstly projected into each granule in which the local SVM is fired to make a prediction. After that, all SVM predictions are aggregated by Bayesian Sum Rule for a final decision. GSVM-RAND is easy to be parallelized and hence efficient and highly scalable. GSVM-RAND is also effective by integrating a large number of weak, low-correlated local SVMs.","abstract_count":180,"abstract_language":"en","abstract_perplexity":-14.281855270967402,"extfieldsofstudy":["Computer Science"],"provenance":"pes2o_v2-0003.json.gz:1615986","s2fieldsofstudy":["Computer Science"],"sha1":"1696987178f9c9c4091b056650af9f0552e17fa9","sources":["IEEE","CiteSeerX","DBLP","ScienceParseMerged","Anansi","Grobid","Unpaywall","MAG"],"title":"Highly Scalable SVM Modeling with Random Granulation for Spam Sender Detection","title_count":11,"title_language":"en","title_perplexity":-14.717878508771316,"top_frequencies":[{"count":11,"token":"a"},{"count":9,"token":"is"},{"count":6,"token":"SVM"},{"count":6,"token":"of"},{"count":5,"token":"the"},{"count":4,"token":"and"},{"count":4,"token":"in"},{"count":3,"token":"email"},{"count":3,"token":"such"},{"count":3,"token":"GSVM-RAND"},{"count":3,"token":"to"},{"count":3,"token":"feature"},{"count":3,"token":"local"},{"count":2,"token":"with"},{"count":2,"token":"Random"},{"count":2,"token":"for"},{"count":2,"token":"Spam"},{"count":2,"token":"subject"},{"count":2,"token":"A"},{"count":2,"token":"highly"},{"count":2,"token":"number"},{"count":2,"token":"samples"},{"count":2,"token":"from"},{"count":2,"token":"original"},{"count":2,"token":"training"},{"count":2,"token":"subset"},{"count":2,"token":"then"},{"count":2,"token":"projected"},{"count":2,"token":"into"},{"count":2,"token":"granule"},{"count":2,"token":"each"},{"count":2,"token":"by"},{"count":1,"token":"Highly"},{"count":1,"token":"Scalable"},{"count":1,"token":"Modeling"},{"count":1,"token":"Granulation"},{"count":1,"token":"Sender"},{"count":1,"token":"Detection"},{"count":1,"token":"sender"},{"count":1,"token":"detection"},{"count":1,"token":"based"},{"count":1,"token":"on"},{"count":1,"token":"data"},{"count":1,"token":"complex"},{"count":1,"token":"large-scale"},{"count":1,"token":"text"},{"count":1,"token":"mining"},{"count":1,"token":"task."},{"count":1,"token":"The"},{"count":1,"token":"dataset"},{"count":1,"token":"consists"},{"count":1,"token":"lines"},{"count":1,"token":"corresponding"},{"count":1,"token":"IP"},{"count":1,"token":"address"},{"count":1,"token":"sender."},{"count":1,"token":"fast"},{"count":1,"token":"accurate"},{"count":1,"token":"classifier"},{"count":1,"token":"desirable"},{"count":1,"token":"an"},{"count":1,"token":"application."},{"count":1,"token":"In"},{"count":1,"token":"this"},{"count":1,"token":"research,"},{"count":1,"token":"scalable"},{"count":1,"token":"modeling"},{"count":1,"token":"method,"},{"count":1,"token":"named"},{"count":1,"token":"Granular"},{"count":1,"token":"granulation"},{"count":1,"token":"(GSVM-RAND),"},{"count":1,"token":"designed."},{"count":1,"token":"applies"},{"count":1,"token":"bootstrapping"},{"count":1,"token":"extract"},{"count":1,"token":"subsets"},{"count":1,"token":"dataset."},{"count":1,"token":"Each"},{"count":1,"token":"subspace"},{"count":1,"token":"randomly"},{"count":1,"token":"selected"},{"count":1,"token":"space."},{"count":1,"token":"Here"},{"count":1,"token":"we"},{"count":1,"token":"call"},{"count":1,"token":"subspace."},{"count":1,"token":"modeled"},{"count":1,"token":"granule."},{"count":1,"token":"For"},{"count":1,"token":"new"},{"count":1,"token":"sample,"},{"count":1,"token":"it"},{"count":1,"token":"firstly"},{"count":1,"token":"which"},{"count":1,"token":"fired"},{"count":1,"token":"make"},{"count":1,"token":"prediction."},{"count":1,"token":"After"},{"count":1,"token":"that,"}],"year":2008},"source":"s2","version":"v3-fos"}

Engaging the Religiously Committed Other: Anthropologists and Theologians in Dialogue
Anthropology has two tasks: the scientific task of studying human beings and the instrumental task of promoting human flourishing. To date, the scientific task has been constrained by secularism, and the instrumental task by the philosophy and values of liberalism. These constraints have caused religiously based scholarship to be excluded from anthropology’s discourse, to the detriment of both tasks. The call for papers for the 2009 meetings of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) recognized the need to “push the field’s epistemological and presentational conventions” in order to reach anthropology’s various publics. Religious thought has much to say about the human condition. It can expand the discourse in ways that provide explanatory value as well as moral purpose and hope. We propose an epistemology of witness for dialogue between anthropologists and theologians, and we demonstrate the value added with an example: the problem of violence.

I'm and I, not an E. Yes, if you didn't know what I was talking about I'm talking about extraversion - I for Introvert and E for Extrovert. I'm very intrigued with personality tests because I like to know more about human behavior. Which is also why, I find Criminal Minds sooooooo interesting. A lot of my friends thought that I'm pursuing Psychology but nope, I'm not. I did, however, said and thought before that I to have something to do with Criminology (totally inspired by Criminal Minds, yo) when I was back in form 4. But after that, I changed my mind la, duh.
It's difficult to "be myself" especially when I'm around with people that I don't know. Probably because I care too much of what people think about me. Probably because I want to protect my own image. Probably because I'm just fearful.
"Shyness is about fear of social judgment" - Susan Cain
So crap, I'm both shy and introverted?!
Sometimes, I feel like withdrawing from the world because I don't think people understand. I feel like I'm being misunderstood so many times that I just want to cut off from this world and stay comfortable in my own shell and I like it this way. I do have friends who think I should "cheer up" when I'm all feeling is being drained out because of a long day in college and after I recuperate, I'm okay!
I like to be alone but doesn't mean I totally hate social interactions. I like to hang out with friends but let's just say if it's a back-to-back event, I think I'll just choose one and I don't mind staying home the rest of the time. I could spend days at home, doing things alone but I know my friends could never do that, they'll die. LOL. Extroverts. Haha. My advantage, cause I don't have to spend a single cent when I stay at home XD
People need to start to understand how others respond to stimuli, introverts and extroverts a like. When we have the understanding, we changed our expectations towards them, then there's less complication and we become more empathetic.
Watch this. : )
She's speaking from the Western-culture background but still quite relevant.
"Stop the madness for constant groupwork. Just.. stop it"
OMG, YES! As much as I enjoy the fruits of working in groups (the aftermath of working together), the process of working with other people just eats me up sometimes because I'm so frustrated - I'm overpowered by the majority and I refuse to speak up. -_-; Okay, partly I know it's my fault for not speaking up but I'm learning.

Video of the Week: Arsenal 1 - 0 Blackburn Rovers
This has got to be the video of the week because Arsenal lost (AT HOME!) to Blackburn Rovers and crashed out of the FA Cup.
I'm a Gunner fan but sadly the Gunners have no more balls to load the cannon anymore and this season's performance is utterly tragic despite them still "trying" to get the "oh-so-prestigious" Champions League spot. Yaya, sure. Trophies are not everything but there is not passion or desire to win at all. Blame the board, blame the owner, blame Wenger and blame the players. All have to take part of the blame for Arsenal's horrible performance this season. Too inconsistent.
I can imagine if I were at England, I'll probably go watch games at Emirates if I can afford it. And tickets are not cheap. The Emirates stadium has been constantly filled with fans but I guess the numbers should be decreasing soon. Why pay so much to watch your favourite team play half-heartedly? Memang padan muka if Arsenal goes down the drain. Better if less people watch the games, less people purchase any jersey and make sure there's less money for them. See if they are going to finally stop taking advantage of the loyal fans.
Fatty New Year
HOWDY! How's your Chinese New Year peeps? Got fatter yet?
I realized that a lot of people have been baking/frying their own Chinese New Year cookies or delicacies this year. My mum included. I contributed in rolling some popiah + chicken floss and peeling off the crabsticks. LUL. Others mostly done by mum's effort.
I just finished my assignment which took me forever to finish it because I was slowly adding points and stuffs. Partly cause I was kinda procrastinating also. :1 Reading about politics and historical facts kills me. T_T While it is quite interesting to read it like some sort of biography, it sucks to write an assignment about it. Urgh.
Nothing really special about this CNY. This CNY has and will be about foooooodddd, shandy and family and friends. One thing I hate about CNY is that you have to put on a mask when you meet your distant relatives.. Everyone turns to a hypocrite. It's like "I hate you but I have to put on that fake smile" kind of situation. Eww. As you grow older, you don't really look forward to CNY just because of angpows anymore.
Oh yeah, how's Valentine's? This year's Valentines seems to be quite downplayed or not much of a hoo-haa really, except for yesterday. All the lovey dovey pictures pop up :P
And, just realized.. so many people that my family directly or indirectly knows had passed away last July and August. Life.. who would have thought?
Sorry, random thoughts. Now back to enjoying the last day of holiday and start my next assignment. I am lifeless. >_>
Where Should You Use Your Baucar Buku 1 Malaysia (BB1M) ?
HELLO EVERYONE! This is the blogpost for BB1M 2013. For BB1M 2014 guides, please refer to the 2014 version (CLICK HERE)
LATEST UPDATE: (1/3/13) - Borders Malaysia
PREVIOUS UPDATE: (26/2/13) - Times Bookstore & MPH Bookstores
PREVIOUS UPDATE: (20/2/13) - Big Bad Wolf Books & BookXcess
University students, rejoice! If you haven't known yet, back in September 2012, the budget for 2013 was announced by our Prime Minister. Based on the budget, university students would be given Baucar Buku 1 Malaysia (BB1M) worth RM250 courtesy of the government.
I noticed that bookstores in Malaysia are making promotions for students to spend their vouchers in their outlets and I'm really spoilt for choice. I felt like I'm being seduced to make a decision on where to spend the vouchers. Which to choose?! My friend suggested a brilliant idea - compile the promotions and blog about it. So, here's the list of promotions by the various bookstores in Malaysia that are offering promotion for the BB1M voucher.
1) Borders Malaysia
Fine print on the poster: Valid Malaysian IC must be presented together with the voucher. Not applicable for purchase of magazine and Non Book. Not exchangeable for cash. Must be used in full and any unused amount will not be refunded. Other terms and condition may apply. Terms & Conditions as set by Ministry of Education are applicable.
1. Spend RM250, GET: Borders discount vouchers, radio shack batteries, Chatime beverage, BCard + voucher booklet, Starbucks beverage, Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
2. Spend RM150, GET: Borders discount vouchers, BCard + Voucher booklet + Starbucks beverage
Comment: Based on my experience, BCard + Voucher booklet is not really worth it although they claim it is worth RM300. Most of the vouchers are the kind you don't always use. The deal is quite enticing because of the Starbucks beverage, Krispy Kreme and Chatime. Other than that, not much a good deal for myself.
UPDATE (1/3/13):
Comment: BORDERS up their game again as they throw in a contest!
Prize up for grabs include:
1. Monster iSport Immersion Athlete's Headphone worth RM820
2. Auvio Foldable Headphone worth RM99.90
3. Gigaware USB Stereo Headset worth RM89.90
4. Gigaware USB Notebook Speaker worth RM79.90
5. RadioShack 25-Piece Mini Toolset worth RM56.90
Check here to see how to join the contest.
2) MPH Bookstores
1. Spend RM150 - get RM5 MPH book voucher
2. Spend RM250 - get RM10 MPH book voucher
3. Snap a photo of your happiest moment using BB1M at MPH bookstores and stand a chance to win exciting weekly prizes like iRiver Story HD x10 and MPH RM50 book voucher x50 and even HP/Canon printer x2 on bonus weeks.
For more contest details and mechanics, please refer to MPH CLICK
Comment: Not a very attractive deal with MPH. However, the amount of weekly prizes is quite a deal to be made and the contest is not based on lucky draw, higher chance for those who are good in contest.
Source: MPH Click
UPDATE (26/2/2013): MPH CLICK just up their game. They threw in more prizes for their contest. Here's the updated list of goodies:
Main Prize: 1 Pair of Air Ticket to Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific
Weekly 1st Prize: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini
Weekly 2nd Prize: 10 x iRiver Story HD
Weekly 3rd Prize: 50 x MPH Book Voucher
Bonus Weeks: 2 x HP/Canon Printer
3) Popular Book Co
Goodies: click---> (WIN MACBOOK PRO!)
1. Spend RM250 BB1M voucher, GET RM50 gift voucher + 1 year Popular card
2. Spend RM150 BB1M voucher, GET RM10 gift voucher + 1 year Popular card
3. Spend a minimum of RM150 BB1M voucher and stand a chance to win monthly prizes like Samsung Galaxy Note II x1, Samsung Galaxy SIII x1 and iPad with Retina Display 16GB x3
4. Spend all RM250 BB1M voucher and stand a chance to win the grand prize: Apple Macbook Pro 15-inch: 2.3 GHz with Retina Display, Apple iPhone5 32GB
Setback: You must spend 80% of your BB1M voucher on books.
Comment: I'd say this is one of the best deals available. The contest prizes are really attractive - however, very limited and the contest is based on lucky draw. What are the chances? :/ But if you never try, never know!
4) Big Bad Wolf Books
Comment: So, Big Bad Wolf Books already made an announcement that BB1M vouchers can be used in the Big Bad Wolf Aftermath Sale from 28th February. We know that books are really very, very, very cheap when you get it from BBW. Based on the BBW Books sales in December, the price of books is really irresistible. I'm just waiting to see if BBW is going to throw some mind-blowing promotion or contest for us.
UPDATE (20/2/2013): BBW just threw in a really gooood deal!
5) Times Bookstore
UPDATE: 26/2/2013:
1. Instant rebate: 10% off on books and stationery. Terms and condition applies.
Comment: I'd rather spend elsewhere seriously. Lol.
6) BookXcess
1. Spend all RM250 BB1M vouchers, GET free BookXcess membership and RM20 BookXcess voucher
Pending is Times and BookXcess. I found out that both the mentioned bookstores are accepting the BB1M vouchers but have not revealed any promotions to seduce me yet. Let's just see if they are offering any soon.
UPDATE (20/2/2013): BookXcess is offering something very awesome! :D Refer to the poster under Big Bad Wolf Books.
7) Kinokuniya
1. Spend RM200 with BB1M voucher, get RM20 rebate voucher
2. Spend RM250 with BB1M voucher, get RM20 rebate voucher + Kinokuniya Limited Edition Journal
Seriously, Kinokuniya? I think you can do better than that : )
*Keep checking for more updates.
Video of the Week: Paperman Disney Animated Short Film
Love this video! I don't know why either. It's not like the storyline is awesome or what but has got Disney's magical touch somehow. And there's no dialogue at all! Loved the music. And the drawings look rather familiar. Especially the guy character. But I can't seem to remember from which cartoon :(
