The workshop will focus on the challenges of data processing and management in networks of remote, wireless, battery-powered sensing devices (sensor networks). The power-constrained, lossy, noisy, distributed, and remote nature of such networks means that traditional data management techniques often cannot be applied without significant re-tooling. Furthermore, new challenges associated with acquisition and processing of live sensor data mean that completely new database techniques must also be developed.
Altered intrinsic functional connectivity in the latent period of epileptogenesis in a temporal lobe epilepsy model. The latent period, a seizure-free phase, is the duration between brain injury and the onset of spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRSs) during epileptogenesis. The latent period is thought to involve several progressive pathophysiological events that lead to the evolution of the chronic epilepsy phase. Hence, it is vital to investigate the changes in the latent period during epileptogenesis in order to better understand temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and to achieve early diagnosis and appropriate management of the condition. Accordingly, recent studies with patients with TLE using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) have reported that alterations of resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) during the chronic period are associated with some clinical manifestations, including learning and memory impairments, emotional instability, and social behavior deficits, in addition to repetitive seizure episodes. In contrast, the changes in the intrinsic rsFC during epileptogenesis, particularly during the latent period, remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the alterations in intrinsic rsFC during the latent and chronic periods in a pilocarpine-induced TLE mouse model using intrinsic optical signal imaging (IOSI). This technique can monitor the changes in the local hemoglobin concentration according to neuronal activity and can help investigate large-scale brain intrinsic networks. After seeding on the anatomical regions of interest (ROIs) and calculating the correlation coefficients between each ROI, we established and compared functional correlation matrices and functional connectivity maps during the latent and chronic periods of epilepsy. We found a decrease in the interhemispheric rsFC at the frontal and temporal regions during both the latent and chronic periods. Furthermore, a significant decrease in the interhemispheric rsFC was observed in the somatosensory area during the chronic period. Changes in network configurations during epileptogenesis were examined by graph theoretical network analysis. Interestingly, increase in the power of low frequency oscillations was observed during the latent period. These results suggest that, even if there are no apparent ictal seizure events during the latent period, there are ongoing changes in the rsFC in the epileptic brain. Furthermore, these results suggest that the pathophysiology of epilepsy may be related to widespread altered intrinsic functional connectivity. These findings can help enhance our understanding of epileptogenesis, and accordingly, changes in intrinsic functional connectivity can serve as an early diagnosis.
Charge-Transfer State Dynamics Following Hole and Electron Transfer in Organic Photovoltaic Devices. The formation of bound electron-hole pairs, also called charge-transfer (CT) states, in organic-based photovoltaic devices is one of the dominant loss mechanisms hindering performance. Whereas CT state dynamics following electron transfer from donor to acceptor have been widely studied, there is not much known about the dynamics of bound CT states produced by hole transfer from the acceptor to the donor. In this letter, we compare the dynamics of CT states formed in the different charge-transfer pathways in a range of model systems. We show that the nature and dynamics of the generated CT states are similar in the case of electron and hole transfer. However the yield of bound and free charges is observed to be strongly dependent on the HOMOD-HOMOA and LUMOD-LUMOA energy differences of the material system. We propose a qualitative model in which the effects of static disorder and sampling of states during the relaxation determine the probability of accessing CT states favorable for charge separation.
Q: How can I move the objects in a single direction? How can I move the objects in a single direction? Im tired of it going off course! A: Press X Y or Z to constrain the transformation to a single axis. You can also press ⇧ Shift X/Y/Z to constrain the transformation to two axes. For example, G+⇧ ShiftZ will constrain the transformation to the X/Y plane.
Q: Java doc patterns I refactored a class by moving some of the methods to different class. Since this was like an Architecture refactoring and not code refactoring, I was wondering if it is a good practice to mention in the javadoc of the new classes that it contains the methods moved from previously existing X class?. For example /** Processor that sets sequence to the payment group. This processor has been added as part of checkout refactor project and xxxMethod() method has been moved from {@link XXXFormHandler} to this pipeline processor. **/ I like this approach since it gives clear picture to any developer involved in maintaining this code. My only concern is if this is exposed as an API, then those information will be shown to everyone. A: I don’t think that this is useful. You had strong reasons to refactor the code so developers knowing the new code only should not bother with the old architecture. Developers knowing the old code only don’t know where in the new code they have to look for that javadoc and once they know, they don’t need it anymore. So they need a migration guide which exists independently of the javadoc. Regarding the last concern, if API users shall not see the particular documentation, regular comments do the right thing as maintainer seeing the source code see the comments.

San Francisco Supe Proposes Government Ganja Shop San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi wants the city to get into the drug dealing business by opening up a city-run medical marijuana dispensary. Though the law's as likely to pass as Cheech Marin is to sponsor a major public art exhibition--or something like that--it has at least been good for a chuckle: "The mayor will have to hash this out with public health officials," a spokesman for Mayor Gavin Newsom told the SF Chronicle. "It's the mayor's job to weed out bad legislation, and to be blunt, that sounds pretty bad."
[Rapid, automatic methods for identifying enterobacteria]. The biochemical testing of Enterobacteriaceae can be rapidly and automatically performed with commercial identification systems. There are three groups of identification systems: the kits, the microtiter plates and laboratory apparatus. The ratios of agreement between these new systems and the conventional tests are equivalent. The two first categories of systems are inexpensive unlike apparatus which must be utilized only in important laboratories.
[Problems of randomized controlled study on surgical adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer in Japan]. There were many clinical trials to evaluate the significance of surgical adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer, but large-scale randomized controlled study was limited in Japan. From results of these trials, the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer remained controversial. In this paper, I described the outline and summarized results of recent randomized controlled study carried out by Japan Cancer Chemotherapy Study Group for Colorectal Carcinoma and discussed various problems (case registration, ineligible cases, statistical method, follow up) of this study.
Q: Ways to leverage single code base between Windows Service and Azure WebJob I'm working on a timed recurring process that in some cases will be deployed OnPrem and in other cases deployed in the cloud (Azure). I'm researching a Windows Service and an Azure WebJob. Given that I only need the recurring process to be the timed piece, I'm thinking about having the bulk of the logic in a library with just the entry points being different between the Windows Service for the local deployment or a WebJob when deploying to Azure. Each csproj (service and WebJob) would handle only the timed loop and configuration settings then call into the library for the bulk of the work. My question is: Is there another design combination available to me that would fulfill these requirements potentially in a better way? I've read about wrapping an existing windows service in a WebJob, but I don't think that would be necessary in this case given I'm starting from scratch. A: When it comes to keeping your common code up to date, and knowing which versions are used by which applications, bets solution is to create a class library project with respected design pattern and convert it into a nuget project. you know you can host your own private NuGet repository, create your own packages, and host them internally within your own network. Here is a very nice article for"How to create Nuget package out of your class library project". You can utilize it and share it across all your code. And finally you can just callit from your windows service/WebJob. Let me know if you need any help related to designing the solution. Hope it helps.
Video-based noncooperative iris image segmentation. In this paper, we propose a video-based noncooperative iris image segmentation scheme that incorporates a quality filter to quickly eliminate images without an eye, employs a coarse-to-fine segmentation scheme to improve the overall efficiency, uses a direct least squares fitting of ellipses method to model the deformed pupil and limbic boundaries, and develops a window gradient-based method to remove noise in the iris region. A remote iris acquisition system is set up to collect noncooperative iris video images. An objective method is used to quantitatively evaluate the accuracy of the segmentation results. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. The proposed method would make noncooperative iris recognition or iris surveillance possible.
Q: How to detect if the HDMI port on an Android device has HDCP enabled? Can't find anything definitive on Android Doc and Google. If there is API to detect this, what is it and what is the API to enable/disable HDCP on the HDMI output? If there is NO API to detect this, is there a device can be used to check the HDCP flag on HDMI port? On some android devices (most notably Samsung devices), the HDMI port always has HDCP enabled. But how about other manufactures devices? Is HDCP mandatory on Google certified device? If it's not mandatory, how do major content providers's Android apps (from Big cable company teleco) prevent video output to non-HDCP protected HDMI port? A: You can try to check the Display flags: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display.html#getFlags() FLAG_SECURE or FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display.html#FLAG_SECURE and http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display.html#FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS)
The process for recovering from a situation in which compromising activity has been detected for access data associated with a user is cumbersome. First, the user must realize that the compromising activity has occurred. However, this is not a simple task as compromising activity is often not transparent. As a result, there is typically a delay from the time that the compromising activity occurred to the time that the user recognized that their access data may have been compromised. For example, conventional systems involve an entity that analyzes use of the user's access data to determine whether the access data may have been compromised. Upon the entity's analysis, the entity may call the user to confirm whether the access data was compromised. However, these calls typically require the user to verbally provide identification data among other authentication information, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Additionally, after the user authorizes disabling the use of compromised access data, there is a further delay until the user can receive new access data. For example, the user may have to wait to receive paper confirmation or perform an additional registration process online or over the phone in order to receive the new access data. This delay limits the user's ability to request access to a resource, which is inconvenient. It would be desirable to provide the user with the ability to utilize the new access data as soon as possible. Embodiments of the invention address this and other problems, individually and collectively.
Containers or packaging systems that provide indication of tampering are well known in the art. Typically, such provisions are in the form of perforation patterns formed in overlying layers in the container. Upon separation of the layers from one another in order to open the container, it is difficult if not essentially impossible to re-align the patterns in their original configuration prior to opening. However, in certain situations, perforation patterns can be sufficiently re-aligned such that without close inspection, a pattern may appear to have never undergone an initial separation or container opening. Accordingly, a need exists for an improved container tampering indicator, and particularly which more dramatically indicates a previous opening, opening attempt, and/or tampering. Although a variety of other tamper indicating provisions are known in the art, each suffers from one or more drawbacks. A common disadvantage to many known tamper indication systems is the cost of providing and/or incorporating such in a container or package. Often intricate and complex structures or configurations must be formed or incorporated in the container. These increase container cost and/or manufacturing complexity. Therefore, a need exists in the art for a tamper evident container which provides clear indication of tampering or previous attempts at opening, and yet which is relatively inexpensive to produce and incorporate in a container or package.
(classical music) - Hi BrainStuff, Cristen here. Let's talk about purity because we are surrounded by toxic stuff in this modern world. Car emissions in our air, factory runoff in our water. Herbicides and pesticides in our foods, trolls in our comment sections. If our bodies are our temples, every pizza roll is a desecration. So how could we become pure again? That got weird. Juice cleanses supposedly rid our bodies of toxins and restore our digestive systems. Depending on the specific and sometimes copyrighted cleanse, you spend a couple days to a couple weeks consuming nothing but liquefied fruits, vegetables, and maybe some nut milk. Since lots of people are pretty bad about eating enough fruits and vegetables to begin with, this may mean during a juice cleanse you'd be getting more vitamins and minerals than usual. These are substances your body needs to turn food in to energy and to grow and maintain cells. Some even have antioxidant properties which means that they can help prevent cellular damage under particular circumstances. The benefits of these vitamins and minerals are real, but keep in mind that your body can only process a certain amount of them at once. After that, you'll just excrete the rest. Research does show that eating fruits and vegetables rich in these substances can decrease some risks of some diseases in the long run, but the key phrase, in the long run. The best way to reap these benefits is to consistently eat five or more servings every day. One juice binge isn't gonna do much. Consuming nothing but juice for a few days also means you'd get a lot less fiber, fat, and protein and way fewer calories than normal. Fats and proteins are just as essential for healthy cellular functions as vitamins and minerals. And fiber in the diet is actually part of our colons normal cleansing system. Plus, fiber can slow down your bodies uptake of sugar, meaning your blood sugar level stay more stable. Without it, and considering the high levels of fruit sugars and the limited calories involved in a juice diet, you'll feel extra hungry and may experience dizzying blood sugar spikes and crashes. A day or two of this shouldn't do any harm to the average person, but restricting calories and nutrients for much longer than that can trigger starvation mode. Your body doesn't know when it's gonna get more food, so it slows your metabolism down, and when this happens too often, the change can be permanent. So is it worth it? Psychologically, maybe. You'll probably lose a little weight, due to the decrease in calories, which might be what you're looking for. And people around the world have been using short fasts to practice mindfulness for hundreds, if not, thousands of years. But, physiologically, juice cleanses don't help clear toxins out of your body. The thing is that your liver and kidneys are natural detoxifiers. They filter bad stuff out of your body all the time, but they need the full compliment of nutrients provided by a healthy diet in order to do so. But hey, I wanna know, have you tried a juice cleanse? And if so, how did it work out? And if not, what do you eat when you wanna feel better? Pizza rolls not included. Let me know in the comments, and give us a like if you learned something and subscribe so you won't miss our next video.
rssNimbus Available for Beta Testing The first demo deployment of rssNimbus, a rssCloud server for Google App Engine, is on the air for limited beta testing at http://rssnimbus.appspot.com/. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on how it works for people attempting basic pings and notifications. Be forewarned that it still needs to be hooked into GAE’s cron processes so that hourly housekeeping can be performed (i.e., expiring subscriptions, pushing out delayed notifications, etc.) Also, please note that as of this iteration, no subscriptions are being expired. You can find a test version of rssNimbus at http://rssnimbus.appspot.com/ with additional instructions on its home page for using it. Please post any comments, issues, bugs, or feedback as comments to this post. Once the final kinks are out of it and the basic UI is turned on for admin functions, a user-installable version of rssNimbus will be made available as a .zip archive for anyone who wants to take a shot at installing and running their own GAE-based rssCloud server. Hopefully that archive will be available this weekend, depending on feedback and last minute issues.

Q: Tagging strings in Java How can i tag an array of string in java ? I want to make an array of strings and tag them like : m funny s funny t boring k boring Then if the user can search for them by tagging like search : funny :: m,s A: // key is tag, value all the strings which have this tag. HashMap<String, HashSet<String>> tags = new HashMap<String, HashSet<String>>(); // words that with the tag: funny Set<String> words = tags.get("funny"); If one word can have multiple tags, then you might have another map: // key is string, value all the tags for the string HashMap<String, HashSet<String>> invertedTags = new HashMap<String, HashSet<String>>(); // tags of the word: "m" Set<String> tags = invertedTags.get("m"); A: I suggest using a Guava MultiMap of tags to strings. This way you can get all the Strings with a given tag with a single lookup. MultiMap<String, String> tagStringMap = new MultiMap<String, String>(); // load up the tag to strings. tagStringMap.put(tag1, string1); // single lookup gets everything. Collection<String> strings = tagStringMap.get(tag);
Tehran, YJC. Former president has broken out with an enormity of complaints from his days in office. In a meeting with Iraq-Iraq war veterans on Monday, former president Mohammad Khatami pointed to accusations about his relations with foreign entities as attempts toward a color revolution, saying "I am much above many of those whom they say I have met. We must indulge to give these people time to meet and speak, but I did not give time for meeting. We didn’t talk either. They lie when they say such and such person has given out a prescription for Iran or has held talks with Khatami in order to come and implement them in Iran. They say I want to act someone’s prescription in Iran whom I neither have seen nor talked to. I have taken pains for this revolution. I am a clergyman. There is my record in the revolution. I want the Islamic Revolution to be an example where Muslim and non-Muslim could say ‘I can live here, work here, and thrive here.’ I want human rights, healthy relations with the world, development, and respectable, secure life in the country to be guaranteed.” "One of the mottos of Mr. Rouhani and what has been worked on is the open atmosphere for criticism and freedom,” Khatami maintained, "Of course criticism is different from destruction. If destructive currents are not controlled, it will be the same as the Reform term when things first looked as they do now, but then ended in assassination attempts.” Khatami further said that he considers the destructive actions as organized rather than spontaneous, adding "I do not defend Mr. Rouhani, but the rights, expediency, and security of the nation. These currents disturb the nation’s security. The performers are few in number but great in influence. […] We do not want them removed. We want their influence taken from them, their immunity taken from them so that they are forced to be sensible. They have tribunes and newspapers. They can go say what they want, provided that they do not poison the atmosphere, lie, or slander.” He asserted "The existence of such Talibanic, harsh currents does not show freedom of expression or freedom of thought, but signifies destruction and disrespect for the public opinion, the Leader’s decisions, and the vibe that has come to our society.
Preparing not to move: does no-response priming affect advance movement preparation processes in a response priming task? The response-priming paradigm is frequently employed to study motor control by means of behavioural as well as psychophysiological methods. In this paradigm, response performance is studied under various preparation conditions, but in all cases participants are generally primed for action. This setting neglects an essential ability of the motor system in everyday situations, i.e. the efficient execution of a movement with and without warning. In this context the present experiment assessed the behavioural effects of a modified response-priming paradigm, in which participants were asked to execute movements when primed for action, and when the prime predicted that no response would be required. Thirty volunteers participated the experiment, which tested whether the insertion of no-response trials would affect the validity effect, and assessed the differences between invalid trials and reactions performed subsequent to no-response primes. The data showed that the validity effect is not modulated by the added no-response condition, which suggests that movement preparation mechanisms can be studied with this particular task. In addition, responses in invalid trials were substantially different from responses executed after no-response primes. These results are interpreted in relation to psychophysiological evidence on advance movement preparation. It is proposed that the performance differences between response- and no-response priming conditions may be due to different preactivations of motor regions evoked by the prime stimuli, a hypothesis to be addressed with psychophysiological measures in the future.

‘Charity’ banners pop up in London for Nawaz’s treatment LONDON: Several charity posters and pamphlets with a picture of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif have emerged in different parts of London, requesting donations for his treatment, ARY News reported on Wednesday.  The posters carrying a message for Nawaz’s treatment read that “Please donate your ‘Sadqa and ‘Zakat’ (charity) to save your’s Qaumi (National) hero.” The banners have appeared in the East London area. Read More: Ali Zaidi wants Francis Ford Coppola to make a movie on Sharif family It must be noted that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is in London nowadays for his medical treatment. Earlier today, PML-President Shehbaz Sharif, while talking to media said that medical treatment of the former Prime Minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will begin after his complete medical examination. “Nawaz has undergone some medical tests today [Wednesday] with others more to follow,” he said while briefing media over the ongoing treatment of the former premier outside the Guy’s Hospital, where Nawaz is receiving the treatment. Shehbaz prayed for the health of the three-time prime minister of the country and said that he was an asset of the country. Comments comments
Q: How to use string replace in a jquery for loop? I am trying to strip out the domain from the url - but not sure exactly how. This is what I'm attempting but as you can see console.log doesnt show anything on the second try. function show_records(data) { let html = ""; $.each(data, function(k, v){ console.log(v.url) // returns full urls eg. https://google.com v.url = v.url.replace(/https?:\/\/[^\/]+/i, ""); console.log(v.url) // returns nothing html += `<input type="radio" name="${v.url}" /> ${ v.url }<br />` }) html+='</div></div>' $('.editviewm').append(html); } What am I doing wrong here? A: As @Niet the Dark Absol Suggested, you do not need to do more codes just to achieve the hostname. function show_records(data) { let html = ""; $.each(data, function(k, v){ var url = new URL(v.url); console.log(url.hostname); html += `<input type="radio" name="${url.hostname}" /> ${ url.hostname }<br />` }) html+='</div></div>' $('.editviewm').append(html); }
Q: RegEx to match capitalized words with a single space between them I need a RegEx that would match the following: "United States" // match "United States" // not match "united States" // not match "United states" // not match " United States" // not match "United States " // not match e.g it will require every word to start with a capital letter and have only a single space between words. It also must deny any trailing or leading whitespace charcaters. Thanks A: Your description is quite vague, but as a general case, ^[A-Z][a-z]*( [A-Z][a-z]*)*$ should work without IgnoreCase flag.

Q: With Vuex, why isn't mapGetters accepting the same syntax as mapState? I have a Vue component that maps in state, mutations, actions, and getters from a Vuex store. import {mapState, mapMutations, mapActions, mapGetters} from 'vuex' export default { name: 'DefaultLayout', computed: { ...mapState({ settings: (state) => state.settings, language: (state) => state.language }), ...mapState([ 'changeRouteTo' ]), ...mapGetters([ 'isLoggedIn' ]) } ... The problem is, I cannot get ...mapGetters to work with the explicit syntax like I do with the first instance of ...mapState above. I've tried ...mapGetters({ isLoggedIn: (state) => state.getters.isLoggedIn }) and ...mapGetters({ isLoggedIn: (state) => state.isLoggedIn }) and ...mapGetters({ isLoggedIn: (state) => this.$store.getters.isLoggedIn }) But only ...mapGetters([ 'isLoggedIn' ]) seems to work. A: To use an object in ...mapGetters the syntax is as follows: ...mapGetters({ isLoggedIn: 'isLoggedIn' }) where the key is the name you want the getter to map to and the value is the name of the getter as a string
Newsdesk Tensions rise at Temple after professor’s controversial comments This week, FIRE and others have warned Temple University that it cannot punish professor Marc Lamont Hill over his controversial comments on Israel. As a public university, Temple is forbidden by the First Amendment from punishing Hill for his protected expression. Nevertheless, calls for his termination continue. Hill, who teaches media and communication, sparked controversy last week over comments he made at the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. In his speech, he called for “political action … that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.” Critics said Hill’s use of phrase “from the river to the sea,” was a threat against Israel. The Temple Times also reports that the university has refused its multiple requests for comment. On Monday, FIRE called on Englert to confirm that the university will not investigate or punish Hill’s speech. FIRE has asked Temple to respond to our letter by Friday. But given the continuing calls for his termination, Temple would do well to clearly and publicly disclaim the possibility of punishing him immediately. Yet, Temple has remained under intense pressure to punish Hill, including from one of its own trustees. Board of Trustees Chairman Patrick O’Connor, a prominent Philadelphia-area attorney, told local media that he and the board were “not happy” about Hill’s comments, and that “people wanted to fire [Hill] right away.” O’Connor also warned that Temple’s legal team was “going to look at what remedies we have.” That assertion is, of course, contrary to the First Amendment. But explain that to O’Connor’s law firm partner, who on Wednesday weighed in on the controversy. In a letter to the editor published in The Legal Intelligencer, Stephen Cozen defended O’Connor’s call to punish Hill and criticized the TAUP for “stand[ing] behind the false rubric of academic freedom.” Because he believes academic freedom protections do not apply, Cozen reasons that the “issue then is free speech and as we all know free speech has its limitations. . . [h]ate speech is one of them.” Cozen went on to opine that “the delegitimization of the state of Israel is the equivalent of anti-Semitism and is a form of hate speech.” Cozen also explained that his partner “clearly said” that “Hill’s speech was disgusting and that he would need to look at what options Temple University had.” But that’s contrary to Philly.com’s report that “O’Connor said he had instructed Temple’s legal staff to explore its options in response to Hill’s remarks.” So which is it? Is O’Connor is evaluating the speech for his own edification, or has he directed the university to launch an investigation? Meanwhile, a former Philadelphia-area congressional candidate is calling on Temple to “act” in response to a pro-Hill rally organized by Temple University Students for Justice in Palestine because it uses language used by Hill — which, again, is protected speech. “As a civil liberties group we call on you uphold Hill’s First Amendment rights,” wrote Defending Rights & Dissent. “Firing, discipling, or taking other punitive measures against Hill for his political expression is absolutely unacceptable.” FIRE agrees, and we continue to monitor the situation. We again ask Temple to abide by its First Amendment obligations and make clear that it will not investigate or punish Hill’s protected expression.
Towards drug discovery for brain tumours: interaction of kinins and tumours at the blood brain barrier interface. Cancers of the brain are intrinsically more complicated to treat than systemic malignancies due to the unique anatomical features of the brain. The blood-brain barrier prevents chemotherapeutic agents from reaching brain neoplasms, and angiogenesis occurs as the metabolic needs of the tumour increase, thus further complicating treatment. The newly formed blood vessels form the blood-tumour barrier and are distinct from the blood-brain barrier in that they are more permeable. Being more permeable, these abnormal blood vessels lead to the formation of peri-tumoural edema, which is the cause of much morbidity and mortality associated with central nervous system neoplasms. While the cause of the increased permeability is unclear, kinins have been implicated in regulating the permeability of normal vasculature. Kinins are also known to exert many inflammatory actions affecting both normal and angiogenic blood vessels, as well as tumour cells. The vasodilatory and vascular permeabilizing effects of kinins, and particularly bradykinin and substance P, have been investigated with regard to delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to neoplastic brain tissue through both vascular barriers. In contrast, kinin receptor antagonists have been found to exert effects on tumour cells that result in decreased angiogenesis, tumour cell motility and growth. Thus, many recent patents describe kinin activity on brain vasculature, which may play an integral role in the development of treatments for malignancies in the central nervous system through amelioration of angiogenesis. In conjunction, patents that discuss the ability of kinins to decrease tumour cell migration and proliferation demonstrate that kinins may offer novel approaches to brain tumour therapy in the future.
Q: AceJump key bindings not working in org-mode My ace-jump-mode bindings don't seem to work when I'm editing in org-mode. This is how I define them in my .emacs. (progn (require 'ace-jump-mode) (define-key global-map (kbd "C-c SPC") 'ace-jump-mode) (define-key global-map (kbd "C-c C-c SPC") 'ace-jump-char-mode) (define-key global-map (kbd "C-c C-c C-c SPC") 'ace-jump-line-mode) ) Instead, when editing in org-mode, C-c SPC gives on the mini-buffer: Not in table data field ... with the other bindings also failing (in different ways). I would prefer to disable these bindings from the org-mode commands they are bound to as I don't use them (for the time being at least). If that's not possible, is it possible to instead only define alternative bindings for the ace-jump commands only when working in org-mode? In general what is the "proper" way of addressing such clashes? A: Global map keys get overridden by major-mode and minor-mode keymaps. There are a couple of ways to solve the problem specific to your case: Do not bind ace-jump-mode to C-c SPC. Instead bind it to something else that does not clash like C-c C-SPC. Many might recommend using this approach. If you use org-mode frequently, or might start using it frequently in future, you do not want your personal bindings clashing with the org-mode bindings :). As the C-c SPC in org-mode-map is overriding your binding in the global-map, you can bind that particular key in org-mode-map to nil. See here. (with-eval-after-load 'org (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c SPC") nil)) Do not bind ace-jump-mode in global-map but in your own minor-mode map or using something like use-package package's bind-key* or bind-keys* macro. Above links are solutions to a prior question asked here on emacs.stackexchange, How to override major mode bindings?. A: This solution requires installing the bind-key package (available on Melpa and also installed as dependency if you install use-package). The concept of "context-aware" bindings is used here. The below code binds C-c SPC to org-table-blank-field in the org-mode-map; but only if org-at-table-p returns a non-nil value (i.e. when the point is inside an org table). You can learn more about context-aware bindings from here. (bind-keys :map org-mode-map :filter (org-at-table-p) ("C-c SPC" . org-table-blank-field)) I would even go ahead and bind almost all org-table specific bindings using this :filter arg: (bind-keys :map org-mode-map :filter (org-at-table-p) ("C-c ?" . org-table-field-info) ("C-c SPC" . org-table-blank-field) ("C-c +" . org-table-sum) ("C-c =" . org-table-eval-formula) ("C-c `" . org-table-edit-field) ("C-#" . org-table-rotate-recalc-marks) ("C-c }" . org-table-toggle-coordinate-overlays) ("C-c {" . org-table-toggle-formula-debugger))

Pravastatin activates the expression of farnesoid X receptor and liver X receptor alpha in Hep3B cells. Statins are suggested to preserve gallbladder function by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and preventing cholesterol accumulation in gallbladder epithelial cells. They also affect cross-talk among the nuclear hormone receptors that regulate cholesterol-bile acid metabolism in the nuclei of hepatocytes. However, there is controversy over whether or how statins change the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)alpha, PPARgamma, liver X receptor alpha (LXRalpha), farnesoid X receptor (FXR), ABCG5, ABCG8, and 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) which are directly involved in the cholesterol saturation index in bile. Human Hep3B cells were cultured on dishes. MTT assays were performed to determine the appropriate concentrations of reagents to be used. The protein expression of PPARalpha and PPARgamma was measured by Western blotting analysis, and the mRNA expression of LXRalpha, FXR, ABCG5, ABCG8 and CYP7A1 was estimated by RT-PCR. In cultured Hep3B cells, pravastatin activated PPARalpha and PPARgamma protein expression, induced stronger expression of PPARgamma than that of PPARalpha, increased LXRalpha mRNA expression, activated ABCG5 and ABCG8 mRNA expression mediated by FXR as well as LXRalpha, enhanced FXR mRNA expression, and increased CYP7A1 mRNA expression mediated by the PPARgamma and LXRalpha pathways, together or independently. Our data suggested that pravastatin prevents cholesterol gallstone diseases via the increase of FXR, LXRalpha and CYP7A1 in human hepatocytes.
Many organizations are moving toward cloud-based services and infrastructure as to provide on-demand services. Many enterprises now use cloud-based computing platforms that allow services and data to be accessed over the Internet (or via other networks). Infrastructure providers of these cloud-based computing platforms offer network-based processing systems that often support multiple enterprises (or tenants) using common computer hardware and data storage. This “cloud” computing model allows applications to be provided over the network “as a service” supplied by the infrastructure provider. The infrastructure provider typically abstracts the underlying hardware and other resources used to deliver an enterprise-developed application so that the enterprise no longer needs to operate and support dedicated server hardware. The cloud computing model can often deliver substantial cost savings to the enterprise over the life of the application because the enterprise no longer needs to provide dedicated network infrastructure, electrical and temperature controls, physical security and other logistics in support of dedicated server hardware. A data center is a facility that centralizes an organization's IT operations and equipment, and where it stores, manages, and disseminates its data. A data center includes equipment, such as servers for IT operations and storage hardware for storage of an organization's data. Detecting failures of equipment that is used in such data centers is important to help ensure reliability. Cloud applications increasingly depend on large volumes of data, which requires multiple tiers of storage. Multiple tiers of storage can differ in terms of their cost, capacity, latency, reliability, and power consumption characteristics. These tiers can include memory, flash memory, single disk storage, redundant array of independent disks (RAID) based storage, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, and storage area networks (SAN). RAID storage is a data storage technology that provides a way of storing the same data redundantly in different places on multiple storage devices. These storage devices are typically hard disk drive storage devices or in some cases solid-state storage devices (SSDs). RAID storage can provide fault tolerance by combining multiple storage devices into a single logical unit, or array, so that data can be mirrored at each of the storage devices in the same array. This way, if one storage device fails the data is still preserved. RAID storage can also help improve overall performance, and increase storage capacity in a system. In a typical data center, RAID-based storage systems are indispensable due to their lower cost and higher volume.

Migration of contaminants through the unsaturated zone overlying the Hesbaye chalky aquifer in Belgium: a field investigation. This paper presents the results of a detailed field investigation that was performed for studying groundwater recharge processes and solute downward migration mechanisms prevailing in the unsaturated zone overlying a chalk aquifer in Belgium. Various laboratory measurements were performed on core samples collected during the drilling of boreholes in the experimental site. In the field, experiments consisted of well logging, infiltration tests in the unsaturated zone, pumping tests in the saturated zone and tracer tests in both the saturated and unsaturated zones. Results show that gravitational flows govern groundwater recharge and solute migration mechanisms in the unsaturated zone. In the variably saturated chalk, the migration and retardation of solutes is strongly influenced by recharge conditions. Under intense injection conditions, solutes migrate at high speed along the partially saturated fissures, downward to the saturated zone. At the same time, they are temporarily retarded in the almost immobile water located in the chalk matrix. Under normal recharge conditions, fissures are inactive and solutes migrate slowly through the chalk matrix. Results also show that concentration dynamics in the saturated zone are related to fluctuations of groundwater levels in the aquifer. A conceptual model is proposed to explain the hydrodispersive behaviour of the variably saturated chalk. Finally, the vulnerability of the chalk to contamination issues occurring at the land surface is discussed.
Q: Null entity value My User model: public class User { public int UserId { get; set; } public int RoleId { get; set; } [Required] public string Name { get; set; } [Required, DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)] public string Email { get; set; } [Required, DataType(DataType.Password)] public string Password { get; set; } public Role Roles { get; set; } } My Roles model: public class Role { public int RoleId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public List<User> Users { get; set; } } But in the view the name of the Role is empty... what should I do or where is the problem the database relations or anywhere else? <dt> @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Roles.Name) </dt> <dd> @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Roles.Name) </dd> A: You can solve that problem using eager loading to load the related entity as part of your query, eg: var query= context.Users.Include(u=>u.Role).Where(...).ToList(); In the link I quote above you'll find all the options you have to load related entities. Just a FYI, your entities don't meet all the conditions that need lazy loading to create proxy classes from your entities, you can see all the conditions in this other link. You need to declare your navigation properties as virtual to be lazy loaded, but I recommend you use eager loading in this case. At the time you consult a navigation property in your view, you DbContext will be disposed, so an exception will be thrown. Update Well you can create an overload of your GetAll method where you pass as parameter the related entities you want to load: using System.Data.Entity; //... public virtual IQueryable<TEntity> GetAll(List<Expression<Func<TEntity, object>>> includes = null) { IQueryable<TEntity> query = _dbSet; if (includes != null) { query = includes.Aggregate(query, (current, include) => current.Include(include)); } return query; }

Q: How to input a custom expression for a function? Is there any way that when you run the code you can choose the expression of a function let's say f x instead of writing it down before you run the code? A: There's no simple way in OCaml to execute code that is determined at runtime. It's a statically compiled language. With some effort you could run the OCaml compiler from your code, then load the result as a shared library. Or you could link the OCaml interpreter into your program. IMHO it is usually a bad plan to execute code that is produced dynamically. It gives the program awesome power, but is extremely difficult to control (and to understand).

The primary goal of this project is to define a portable and efficient C programming interface (API) to determine the call-chain of a program. The API additionally provides the means to manipulate the preserved (callee-saved) state of each call-frame and to resume execution at any point in the call-chain (non-local goto). The API supports both local (same-process) and remote (across-process) operation. As such, the API is useful in a number of applications. Some examples include: exception handling The libunwind API makes it trivial to implement the stack-manipulation aspects of exception handling. debuggers The libunwind API makes it trivial for debuggers to generate the call-chain (backtrace) of the threads in a running program. introspection It is often useful for a running thread to determine its call-chain. For example, this is useful to display error messages (to show how the error came about) and for performance monitoring/analysis. efficient setjmp() With libunwind, it is possible to implement an extremely efficient version of setjmp(). Effectively, the only context that needs to be saved consists of the stack-pointer(s).
[From cardiac catheterization to the study of left ventricular function. Importance of relaxation and diastole in ischemic cardiopathy]. Some of the most recent developments on left ventricular function derived from Brutsaert's work on triple control of contraction and relaxation, and on the new division of the different phases of the cardiac cycle, are reviewed. This allows a re-assessment of the different hemodynamic parameters obtained from cardiac catheterization, which were then applied to relaxation and diastole and to coronary artery disease.
This paper offers a new interpretation of John Austin’s views both on assertion and on adverbs, as result of which an expressivist thesis concerning the semantics for action sentences is advanced. First, Austin’s analysis of assertion based on various, specific assertive forces and his remarks on adverbs are systematically connected in order to obtain assertive schemata for action sentences. Finally, those schemata are put to work as the expression of inferential commitments implicit in argumentative practices of different sorts (exculpatory, justificatory and illustrative) in the deployment of which, both logical contrariety and contradiction are exploited
Numerical simulation of Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy using a Generalized Multipole Technique. We numerically simulate low-loss Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) of isolated spheroidal nanoparticles, using an electromagnetic model based on a Generalized Multipole Technique (GMT). The GMT is fast and accurate, and, in principle, flexible regarding nanoparticle shape and the incident electron beam. The implemented method is validated against reference analytical and numerical methods for plane-wave scattering by spherical and spheroidal nanoparticles. Also, simulated electron energy loss (EEL) spectra of spherical and spheroidal nanoparticles are compared to available analytical and numerical solutions. An EEL spectrum is predicted numerically for a prolate spheroidal aluminum nanoparticle. The presented method is the basis for a powerful tool for the computation, analysis and interpretation of EEL spectra of general geometric configurations.
Q: Toggle Visibility in JQuery I can do this in JS, but I'm beginning to use JQuery and would prefer to develop skills for that. I have a reminder message [#CheckboxReminder] "Tick this checkbox to indicate you have checked your data". I then want to hide the reminder message when the checkbox [#IsConfirmed] is ticked, and restore it to original state if it is then unchecked. The page will be rendered with the reminder message set to a class of either Visible or Hidden; if the user has recently marked their data as "checked" the message will be hidden (but user is welcome to check the box again if they wish) I believe that JQuery toggle() can do this, but I read that it depends on the way that the #CheckboxReminder style is set to indicate visibility, and I have also read that Toggle() could get out of sync with #IsConfirmed CheckBox - e.g. rapid double clicking. Maybe I should have toggle(FunctionA, FunctioB) and have FunctionA set the checkbox state, and FunctionB unset it - rather than allowing the Click to set it? What's the best way to code this please? In case useful here's an example of what the HTML might look like: <p>When the data above is correct please confirm <input type="checkbox" id="IsConfirmed" name="IsConfirmed"> and then review the data below</p> ... <ul> <li id="CheckboxReminder" class="InitHide OR InitShow">If the contact details above are correct please make sure that the CheckBox is ticked</li> <li>Enter any comment / message in the box above</li> <li>Then press <input type="submit"></li></ul> A: Just check if the checkbox has indeed changed value before showing/hiding the message. $('#isConfirmed').click( function(){ if ( $(this).is(':checked') ) $('#CheckboxReminder').show(); else $('#CheckboxReminder').hide(); } ); The above will fire each time the checkbox is clicked, but since we first check if the checkbox is indeed checked or not it will avoid false positives.

Decidual CD8+CD28- T cells express CD103 but not perforin. Maternal lymphocytes at the fetal-maternal interface play a key role in the immune acceptance of the allogeneic fetus. Decidual NK cells have shown to contain immune modulatory properties and may facilitate fetal trophoblast invasion into maternal tissue. More recently, CD4+CD25(bright)FOXP3+ Treg cells have been shown to be concentrated in decidual tissue and to be able to suppress both fetus-specific and nonspecific responses. However CD8+ T cells form the largest fraction of T cells at the fetal-maternal interface and are the main candidates to recognize and respond to fetal-maternal HLA differences. So far limited data are available on the phenotype and function of decidual CD8+ T cells during pregnancy. Phenotypic analysis of peripheral blood and decidual CD8+ T cells showed the presence of activated CD8+ T cells as well as a population of CD8+CD103+ T cells in decidual tissue. Unlike peripheral CD8+CD28- T cells, decidual CD8+CD28- T cells do not express the cytolytic molecule perforin. The lack of perforin expression may indicate that decidual CD8+ T cells are not able to elicit a cytotoxic response, and supports the hypothesis that decidual CD8+ T cells play a role in local immune regulation. Defects in decidual CD8+ T-cell regulation or differentiation may lead to placental pathologic conditions whereby placental and fetal growth are impaired.

Q: Need some ASP.NET MVC Routing Help I've started with ASP.NET MVC recently, reading blogs, tutorials, trying some routes, etc. Now, i've stumbled on a issue where i need some help. Basically, i have an URL like /products.aspx?categoryid=foo&productid=bar Most tutorials/examples propose to map this to something like: /products/category/foo/bar where "products" is the controller, "category" is the action, etc. But i need to map it to /products/foo/bar. (without "category") Is it possible? Am i missing something? Help will be highly appreciated. Thank you advance :) P.S. Sorry for my bad English. A: (your English is just fine, no need to apologize!) You can define a route like this: routes.MapRoute("productsByCategory", "products/{category}/{productid}", new { controller="products", action="findByCategory" }) This will match products/foo/bar and call an action looking like this: public class ProductsController : Controller { ... public ActionResult FindByCategory(string category, string productid) { .... } } does this help?
Science benefits tremendously from mutual exchanges of information and pooling of effort and resources. The combination of different skills and diverse knowledge is a powerful capacity, source of new intuitions and creative insights. Therefore multidisciplinary approaches can be a great opportunity to explore novel scientific horizons. Collaboration is not only an opportunity, it is essential when tackling today’s global challenges by exploiting our fast growing wealth of data. In this paper we introduce the concept of Information-Powered Collaborations (IPC) — an abstraction that captures those requirements and opportunities. We propose a conceptual framework that partitions the inherent complexity of such dynamic environments and offers concrete tools and methods to thrive in the data revolution era. Such a framework promotes and enables information sharing from multiple heterogeneous sources that are independently managed. We present the results of assessing our approach as an IPC for solid-Earth sciences: the European Plate Observing System (EPOS).
Brexit deal imminent! Wait, no, Brexit deal off due to Theresa May’s inability to convince Dominic Raab/moody backbenchers/every Cabinet minister who aspires to lead the Conservative Party. Brexit deal back on? It depends which paper you read. Almost everyone at Westminster expects that there will be movement on Brexit some point later this week or early the next. By “movement”, of course, what they mean is that the United Kingdom will make a concession that May will desperately try to package as a defeat for the EU27. May’s problem is that she has lost the trust of both the Brexit press and the ultras in her own party, so she has a much smaller chance of selling the next concession as a great British victory.
The present invention relates to hand held exercise devices, specifically to an improved fillable hand held exercise device. Heretofore, the sole purpose of consumer goods containers and their closures has been to contain,package, store and/or display their original contents, after which they are then promptly thrown out. At most, some have had a static second life use as storage receptacles, decorative decanters, or flower vases. But very seldom do we find containers and their closures specifically designed for a novel, dynamic and functional second life use, more specifically, a fillable hand held exercise device. Although many different types of fillable hand held exercise devices are known to exist, none suggest the transition from, or similarity with, any container and dual sided closure combination, or vice versa, nor does any container and dual sided closure, or fillable hand held exercise device suggest the unique features necessary to effect such a transition or similarity. The most common fillable dumbbell product now known to exist is simply comprised of a one piece cylindrical container with a slightly narrower midsection for gripping, and a closure at the top. This type of fillable dumbbell is characterized by bells/chambers just slightly larger in circumference than its grip area because of the blow molding limitations imposed by that design, and necessitates having bells/chambers too small to adequately weight when filled with water.

The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY. The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans — most of whom aren't suspected of any crime. This program does not involve the NSA listening to or recording conversations. But the spy agency is using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist activity, sources said in separate interviews. "It's the largest database ever assembled in the world," said one person, who, like the others who agreed to talk about the NSA's activities, declined to be identified by name or affiliation. The agency's goal is "to create a database of every call ever made" within the nation's borders, this person added. For the customers of these companies, it means that the government has detailed records of calls they made — across town or across the country — to family members, co-workers, business contacts and others. And as I noted, Bush lied to us about the program. It's far worse than he promised. The NSA's domestic program, as described by sources, is far more expansive than what the White House has acknowledged. Last year, Bush said he had authorized the NSA to eavesdrop — without warrants — on international calls and international e-mails of people suspected of having links to terrorists when one party to the communication is in the USA. Warrants have also not been used in the NSA's efforts to create a national call database. In defending the previously disclosed program, Bush insisted that the NSA was focused exclusively on international calls. "In other words," Bush explained, "one end of the communication must be outside the United States." As a result, domestic call records — those of calls that originate and terminate within U.S. borders — were believed to be private. Sources, however, say that is not the case. With access to records of billions of domestic calls, the NSA has gained a secret window into the communications habits of millions of Americans. AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth giving the NSA the phone records of tens of millions of innocent Americans. Program goes far beyond what Bush claimed. UPDATE: The phone companies were NOT required to turn over our records - Qwest refused - but AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth gave the Mein Kampf salute. Pigs._________ Remember that little canard about making sure a terrorist was on one end of the line, and making sure it was an international call? Not so much. In fact, the government's goal is to get every phone record in the country - we're talking a record of every phone call you ever make or receive.

The disclosure relates generally to online systems, and in particular to training a computer model to predict whether a user device is at a location based on context information received from client devices. An online system, such as a social networking system, allows its users to connect to and communicate with other online system users. Users may create profiles on an online system that are tied to their identities and use information about the users, such as interests and demographic information. The users may be individuals or entities such as corporations or charities. Because of the increasing popularity of online systems and increasing amount of user-specific information that they maintain, an online system provides an ideal forum for content providers to increase awareness about products or services by presenting content items to online system users as stories in social networking newsfeeds or via other presentation mechanisms. Content providers may wish to measure the effectiveness of their online system content campaigns by tracking online system users who accessed the content campaign and subsequently visited the content provider's physical location. Traditionally, online systems have relied on user “check-ins” at physical locations in order to gather user location information. However, data is collected slowly using this method and is dependent upon individual users taking an action (i.e., the check-in) at the location and designating the correct physical location. Many users do not regularly, if ever, check-in to locations. Further, there are many locations where users rarely check in (e.g., grocery stores, drug stores, dry cleaners, etc.), rendering the online system's ability to predict when a user is at those locations more difficult.
The present invention relates to a display means attractively showing movable ornaments therein, and more particularly to a display means which uses a light string as the power supply to connect a light string AC motor for driving ornaments in the display means to move in different manners before a background. Such display means may be conveniently positioned on a window sill, desk top, or top of a fireplace, or may be hung or mounted on walls. The display means according to the present invention is simple in the whole structure and safe in use. The ornaments displayed in front of the display means can be designed to move lively so as to match different meaningful events. Ornaments are frequently used in holidays or festivals to create happy and joyous air. For Christmas holidays, all kinds of beautiful and cute ornaments and decorations play important roles in show windows. In conventional show windows, ornaments and decorations displayed are usually stationary and motionless, the only means used to give such ornaments and decorations some changes is their different appearances and some light strings attached to them. On the other hand, to use movable ornaments and decorations, additional costs for extra power supply and parts are extremely high. It is therefore tried by the applicant to develop a display means which has movable ornaments and decorations while the entire structure of the display means is simple.
Q: Are there any "brand" museums in Los Angeles? Atlanta has the Coca Cola museum, Munich has the BMW museum, in Maranello there is the Ferrari museum. Similarly, are there any "brand" museums in LA or its neighborhoods? I know these museums are quite popular in Europe, but haven't seen anything in LA yet. A: Okay, so I've gone through several Wikipedia pages for southern California... McDonald's Museum (also Juan Pollo) in San Bernardino Fender Museum of Music and the Arts in Corona (I assume there are some Fender instruments) Wells Fargo History Museum (Los Angeles and another one in San Diego) Lawrence Welk Museum in Escondido Related, if you like cars: Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar Petersen Museum in Los Angeles (Wilshire) plus others
Q: Package vs Library I've just started working with CMake and I noticed that they have both a find_package and a find_library. And this confuses me. Can somebody explain the difference between a package and a library in the world of programming? Or, in the world of CMake? Appreciate it, guys! A: Imagine you want to use zlib in your project, you need to find the header file zlib.h, and the library libz.so (on Linux). You can use the low-level cmake commands find_path and find_library to find them, or you can use find_package(ZLIB). The later command will try to find out all what is necessary to use zlib. It can be extra macro definitions, or dependencies. Update, more detail about find_package: when the CMake command find_package(SomeThing) is called, as says the documentation, there are two possibility: the module mode (that searches for a file FindSomeThing.cmake), or the config mode (that searches for a file named SomeThingConfig.cmake). For ZLIB, there is a module named FindZLIB, shipped with CMake itself (on my Linux machine that is the file /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindZLIB.cmake). That module is a CMake script that uses the CMake API to search for ZLIB files in default locations, or ask the user for the location if it cannot be found automatically.
Life's Dominion: An Argument about Abortion, Euthanasia, and Individual Freedom, Ronald Dworkin. As a teacher of biomedical ethics, I have constantly sought a method to motivate my students to engage in meaningful moral debate on the controversial issues of abortion and euthanasia, without risking a shouting match (as happened on one occasion). The moral views are so personalized and polarized that silence often displaces discourse. Ronald Dworkin's masterful Life's Dominion offers an innovative and insightful way through this impasse by identifying moral commitments shared by persons with different conclusions. His argument begins with "conservative" premises and winds up with "liberal" conclusions. It is a philosophical and constitutional analysis of the meaning of life and death that draws on substantive religious values. In so doing, Dworkin suggests an approach that could alter the adversarial and even violent nature of our cultural debate about the ending of life towards a more dialogic and tolerant, but not indifferent, mode....
Q: Using a Makefile with C So I have three files: jarvismarch.c (includes "jarvismarchtools.h") jarvismarchtools.c jarvismarchtools.h I would like to use a makefile to compile the aforementioned files. How would I go about this? A: The typical minimal makefile looks like this: OBJ = jarvismarch.o jarvismarchtools.o all: $(OBJ) $(CC) -o jarvismarch $(OBJ) Taking the comment of asveikau into account and adding a clean target it becomes: OBJ = jarvismarch.o jarvismarchtools.o BIN = jarvismarch CFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -ansi all: $(BIN) $(BIN): $(OBJ) $(CC) -o @ $(OBJ) clean: rm -f $(OBJ) $(BIN) (Windows users need to use .obj instead of .o) I strongly recommend against using make. It might be simple at first, but once your project grows I highly recommend a more complete build tool like SCons, CMake or Boost.Build.

First person account: the Messiah quest. The article that begins below is the fifth in a series of personal accounts to be published in the Schizophrenia Bulletin. In describing his account, the author commented: "The viewpoint is solely my consciousness. The substance of every statement and the specific words in many statements actually occurred to me. Third person narrative was chosen to convey a sense of my psychological distance from the experience. This distance was essential for accomplishing growth. I have described my emotions and thoughts as exactly as possible, and in sufficient detail for the reader to follow the sequence of change in thought from and content. In spite of certain passages in the text, I had never previously felt fervently about any religion, religious figure, or telepathy, and I had never felt harassed by the Central Intelligence Agency. The experience described followed many extreme stresses--death of a parent, end of a longtime romantic relationship, and a career change. Before these events, my emotional and social adjustment had been good...." Brief comments by two clinicans who saw the author during different phases of the experience described are appended to his account.
Connected Health Technology for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Management. Advances in computing power and wireless technologies have reshaped our approach to patient monitoring. Medical grade sensors and apps that were once restricted to hospitals and specialized clinic are now widely available. Here, we review the current evidence supporting the use of connected health technologies for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease in an effort to highlight gaps and future opportunities for innovation. Initial studies in connected health for cardiovascular disease prevention and management focused primarily on activity tracking and blood pressure monitoring but have since expanded to include a full panoply of novel sensors and pioneering smartphone apps with targeted interventions in diet, lipid management and risk assessment, smoking cessation, cardiac rehabilitation, heart failure, and arrhythmias. While outfitting patients with sensors and devices alone is infrequently a lasting solution, monitoring programs that include personalized insights based on patient-level data are more likely to lead to improved outcomes. Advances in this space have been driven by patients and researchers while healthcare systems remain slow to fully integrate and adequately adapt these new technologies into their workflows. Cardiovascular disease prevention and management continue to be key focus areas for clinicians and researchers in the connected health space. Exciting progress has been made though studies continue to suffer from small sample size and limited follow-up. Efforts that combine home patient monitoring, engagement, and personalized feedback are the most promising. Ultimately, combining patient-level ambulatory sensor data, electronic health records, and genomics using machine learning analytics will bring precision medicine closer to reality.
Distributed multi-static active acoustic networks are useful for detecting various underwater objects (targets). Such networks provide the capability to detect, localize, and track targets through the expanded geometric diversity of a distributed field of sources and receivers. However, given the variabilities in acoustic environmental conditions, sensor performance and target behavior, such networks cannot exploit their full potential without management and control methods. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a control optimization method that may be applied to the ping scheduling task of a multi-static active acoustic network to obtain improved detection, localization and tracking performance.
The coat protein is required for the elicitation of the Capsicum L2 gene-mediated resistance against the tobamoviruses. In Capsicum, the resistance against tobamoviruses conferred by the L2 gene is effective against all but one of the known tobamoviruses. Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is the only virus which escapes its action. To identify the viral factors affecting induction of the hypersensitive reaction (HR) mediated by the Capsicum spp. L2 resistance gene, we have constructed chimeric viral genomes between paprika mild mottle virus (PaMMV) (a virus able to induce the HR) and PMMoV. A hybrid virus with the PaMMV coat protein gene substituted in the PMMoV-S sequences was able to elicit the HR in Capsicum frutescens (L2L2) plants. These data indicate that the sequences that affect induction of the HR mediated by the L2 resistance gene reside in the coat protein gene. Furthermore, a mutant that codes for a truncated coat protein was able to systemically spread in these plants. Thus, the elicitation of the host response requires the coat protein and not the RNA.
Q: Selenium made a sendKeys for two fields instead of one for some reason I made a pretty simple selenium test, where I want to open web page, clear field value, start entering text for this field, select first value from the hint drop down. Web site is aviasales.com (I just found some site with a lot of controls, this is not an advertisement) I did DriverFactory.getDriver().findElement(By.id("flights-origin-prepop-whitelabel_en")).clear(); and it was working perfectly, I also checked via console that this is the only one object on a page like: document.getElementById('flights-origin-prepop-whitelabel_en') So, in next line I'm sending value: DriverFactory.getDriver().findElement(By.id("flights-origin-prepop-whitelabel_en")).sendKeys("LAX"); but it send LAX value for both "flights-origin-prepop-whitelabel_en" and "flights-destination-prepop-whitelabel_en" for some reason, then i tried DriverFactory.getDriver().findElement(By.id("//input[@id='flights-destination-prepop-whitelabel_en'][@placeholder='Destination']")).sendKeys(destinationAirport); but I got the same result: What could be a reason and how to fix this? Thank you! A: Yep... there's some weird behavior going on there. The site is copying whatever is entered into the first field into the second for reason I don't understand. I gave up trying to understand it and found a way around it. Whenever I write code that I know I'm going to reuse, I put them into functions. Here's the script code driver.navigate().to(url); setOrigin("LAX"); setDestination("DFW"); ...and since you are likely to use these repeatedly, the support functions. public static void setOrigin(String origin) { WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.id("flights-origin-prepop-whitelabel_en")); e.click(); e.clear(); e.sendKeys(origin); e.sendKeys(Keys.TAB); } public static void setDestination(String dest) { WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.id("flights-destination-prepop-whitelabel_en")); e.click(); e.clear(); e.sendKeys(dest); e.sendKeys(Keys.TAB); } You can see the functions but basically I click in the field, clear the text (because usually there's something already in there), send the text, and then press to move out of the field and choose the default (first choice).

That shouldn’t be a surprise. For years, our increasingly polarized political system has been culling moderate members. To see this in video form, click the clip below. It’s a visualization of congressional polarization beginning with the very first Congress and running right through today. And if you fast forward toward the end, where we are, you’ll see the pattern progress right in front of you: The Ds and the Rs in the middle — those are the centrists — keep disappearing, and the masses of Ds and Rs keep moving farther away from each other. That’s American politics today: two parties, no touching. And that’s part of why Snowe is retiring. “[W]hat I have had to consider is how productive an additional term would be,” Snowe said in a statement. “Unfortunately, I do not realistically expect the partisanship of recent years in the Senate to change over the short term.” She’s right. The partisanship of recent years is not likely to change over the short term. In fact, it’s likely to get worse. Snowe will probably be replaced by a liberal Democrat. Nelson will probably hand his seat to a conservative Republican. The parties will become that much more unified, disciplined and polarized. And that’s okay. Or, at least, it would be okay if America’s political institutions were prepared for it. We use “polarization” as an epithet. It’s what’s wrong with America’s politics. It’s what’s wrong with America’s political parties. It’s what’s wrong with America’s politicians. It’s what’s wrong, finally, with America. And polarization is certainly bad for moderate legislators who want to wield influence by brokering deals between the two parties. But for the political system as a whole, “polarization” is a neutral term. It simply means the two parties disagree, and clearly. It doesn’t mean they disagree angrily or unproductively or in service of extreme ideologies. To imagine this, consider two political systems. In one, the two parties aren’t polarized, because the Democratic Party is filled with conservative arch-segregationists. In another, the parties are very polarized, but it’s because everyone agrees segregation was a moral blight, and with that out of the way, the conservative Democrats who kept their seats by appealing to racism were replaced by Republicans. Which system is more extreme? Or unproductive? Or hateful? Polarization doesn’t describe people’s opinions. It just describes how those same people, with those same opinions, sort themselves. For political scientists, it was long a puzzle and a frustration that the Democratic Party contained so many conservatives and the Republican Party so many liberals. But race was the reason for much of that, and as race has receded as a driving force in American politics, the two parties have sorted themselves in a more sensible way. The problem is, the political system hasn’t responded. Our system, as any historian will tell you, was built by men who hated parties and anticipated their absence from American politics. That didn’t quite work out. But for much of American history, and particularly for much of the 20th century, our political parties have been unusually diffuse and unable to act as organized, ideological units. That left them well-suited to a system that, for reasons ranging from the division of powers to the filibuster, required an unusual level of consensus to function. But as the two parties have polarized, we’ve learned that a system built for consensus is not able to properly function amid constant partisan competition. The filibuster has gone from a rarity to a constant. Compromise has become rare. Crises of gridlock, such as the recent showdown over the debt ceiling, have become common. And no one can say that this is what the American people want: The approval ratings of Congress have been on a downward slide for decades, and they have never been lower than they are today. Snowe’s retirement will have many lamenting the endangered moderate and wondering how we can turn back the clock. But we can’t. About that, Snowe is right. Polarization is with us now and will be with us for the foreseeable future. The question is whether we will permit it to paralyze our political system and undermine our country or whether we will accept it and make the necessary accommodations. Doing so would require taking on cherished, consensus-promoting features of the old system, like the filibuster. But in today’s girdlocked world, those features no longer promote consensus. They simply promote gridlock.
I came across an article about how the SA government was tracking women in hiding by tracing their IMEI number on their GSM cell phones. IMEI is similar to a MAC address for mobile and is tied to a device regardless of SIM card changes. On CDMA phones there is an equivalent, the Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) string.
Public health accreditation and metrics for ethics: a case study on environmental health and community engagement. As public health departments around the country undergo accreditation using the Public Health Accreditation Board standards, the process provides a new opportunity to integrate ethics metrics into day-to-day public health practice. While the accreditation standards do not explicitly address ethics, ethical tools and considerations can enrich the accreditation process by helping health departments and their communities understand what ethical principles underlie the accreditation standards and how to use metrics based on these ethical principles to support decision making in public health practice. We provide a crosswalk between a public health essential service, Public Health Accreditation Board community engagement domain standards, and the relevant ethical principles in the Public Health Code of Ethics (Code). A case study illustrates how the accreditation standards and the ethical principles in the Code together can enhance the practice of engaging the community in decision making in the local health department.

Trust in the context of patient safety problems. This paper considers some implications of recent developments relating to patient safety for understandings of trust in health care contexts. Conceptual analysis focusing on patients' trust in health care providers and health care providers' trust in patients. Growing awareness of the scale of the problem of iatrogenic harm has prompted concerns that patients' trust in health care providers may be threatened and/or become inappropriate or dysfunctional. In principle, however, patients' trust may be both well placed and compatible with current understandings of safety problems and efforts to address these. Contemporary understandings of patient safety suggest that, to be deemed trustworthy, health care providers should make vigorous efforts to improve patient safety, be honest about safety issues, enable patients to contribute effectively to their own safety, and provide appropriate care and support after safety incidents. Patients who trust health care providers need not be ignorant of patient safety problems and may be vigilant in the course of their care. Iatrogenic harms do not necessarily reflect breeches of trust (not all such harms are yet preventable), and patients who are harmed might in some circumstances appropriately forgive and resume trusting. Health care providers may feel vulnerable to patients in several respects. From their perspective, trustworthy patients will act competently to optimise the outcomes of their health care efforts and to preserve health care providers' good reputations where those are justified. Providers' trust in patients may strengthen patients' trust in them and facilitate safety improvement work. Shows how, in principle, trust can be compatible with current understandings of patient safety issues and may enhance efforts to improve patient safety.

The decision by Aetna to withdraw from many ObamaCare exchanges was a predictable outrage that opens to the door not to the demise of ObamaCare, but the dramatic improvement of ObamaCare led by a grand battle by Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and progressives to enact the public option and move toward a Medicare-for-all healthcare system. Let's coin the phrase "BernieCare" to describe the kind of healthcare system that progressives believe, with some reason, would be the kind of program that voters prefer. Sanders has long been a champion of single-payer healthcare — which I personally support — but for obvious political reasons in a lobbyist-dominated Washington, single payer is highly unlikely to happen soon. Sanders, who is more of a highly skilled political and legislative tactician than pundits understand, has responded to the Aetna withdrawal from many healthcare exchanges by publicly announcing he will wage an all-out campaign to enact the public option. The Sanders response to Aetna is perfectly timed and politically powerful. The public option, which should have been enacted with the original ObamaCare program, would guarantee that every healthcare exchange will have at least one highly affordable choice for consumers to accept. The result of including a public option on healthcare exchanges would be that one of two things would happen. Either other insurers would remain on the exchanges to compete for the consumer's dollar, which would create a downward pressure on insurance premiums that benefits consumers, or Americans would enroll in the public option en masse, which would accelerate the move toward a true single-payer system. I was a vehement supporter of the public option during the original ObamaCare debate. It was a tragedy of epic proportion that the public option was not included in the final ObamaCare law, despite the fact that President Obama supported it and Democrats then had large majorities in the House and Senate. That omission occurred, despite strong public support for the public option, because of the power of insurance lobbyists in Washington, the obstruction of Republicans in Congress and the reluctance of a small number of more conservative Democratic senators to defy the insurance lobby. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Sanders and the Democratic Party are now united in support of the public option. This was one of the more important developments at the time of the Democratic National Convention when the Clinton and Sanders camps unified behind a series of platform positions that included long-held progressive policies and ideas. The BernieCare option has always been a frontal assault against the greed of certain insurance companies and the lobbying industrial complex that has dominated healthcare policy for far too long. The BernieCare strategy was dramatized during his campaign for president, where he advocated a full single-payer system, and is now advancing again with the decision of Aetna to abandon most of the ObamaCare exchanges. This strategy has taken various forms in recent years. The idea of a public option on the exchanges has always garnered strong public support. The idea of a Medicare-for-all system builds on the enormous public support for the Medicare program. And I would emphasize again today, as I have throughout the presidential campaign, that I believe the reason that Sanders dominated Republican nominee Donald Trump in match-up polls throughout the presidential campaign is that he embodies the kind of progressive populist reformation that voters prefer over the status quo or the conservative alternative. Many analysts believe that the Aetna decision to withdraw from most ObamaCare exchanges was a retaliation against the Obama Justice Department taking a strong position on egregious examples of mergers and acquisitions in the insurance industry, including a proposed but rejected merger sought by Aetna. I fully support the Justice Department's policy, deplore the Aetna withdrawals, and expect the Aetna move to backfire. Among the many reasons that Sanders is supporting Clinton for president, and turning his attention to electing other Democrats to regain control of the Senate and potentially the House of Representatives, is that he is poised to become one of the most powerful and important senators if Democrats regain control. If Democrats regain control of the Senate, Sanders will have fascinating options as to which Senate committee he will chair. He can take his revolution to the federal budget as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Even more interesting is that Sanders could have the opportunity to take his revolution to even more immediate heights as chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, if the only Democrat above him in seniority, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), chooses to chair the Senate Appropriations Committee instead. Republicans and conservatives are rejoicing at the decision of Aetna to abandon most ObamaCare exchanges, but does the GOP really want to become the party of higher insurance premiums, working as the handmaiden of insurance industry lobbyists? The stage is set for Sanders to campaign throughout the nation and in Congress for his BernieCare alternative, joined by Clinton and Democratic leaders, making the Democrats the party of lower insurance premiums, the great change agent battling lobbyists and influence peddlers who want to stick it to American families and consumers. It will be ironic — and wonderful for liberals — if BernieCare saves ObamaCare and the big winners are American consumers.
LAUSANNE - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday harshly criticized the American government and the other world powers currently negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program, telling ministers at the weekly cabinet meeting that the "Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis" was a danger to humanity that must be stopped. As the talks entered their fifth day in Lausanne, Switzerland, Netanyahu told his cabinet: "I am deeply troubled by the emerging agreement with Iran in the nuclear talks," said Netanyahu during a start of a cabinet meeting on Sunday. "The agreement confirms all of our fears and even worse." U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif opened the day with their eighth meeting in four days. Netanyahu met on Sunday morning at his office in Jerusalem with U.S. Senate majority leader, Republican Mitch McConnell, and spoke over the weekend with Senate minority leader Harry Reid, who announced that he was stepping down from his position. In what sounded like a barb aimed at the White House, Netanyahu stated that he heard from both veteran senators about "strong and uncompromising support for Israel." Later this week, House Speaker John Boehner is expected to arrive in Jerusalem for a meeting with Netanyahu. The prime minister said that the developing nuclear deal also bears the danger of what he called "Iran's conquest of the Middle East." Referring to the Iran-allied Houthi militia's recent takeover of large parts of Yemen, Netanyahu said: "Iran is using proxies to try and take over the strategic straits of Bab el-Mandab, which could alter the balance of world seafaring and oil supply. Iran is enacting a pincer strategy from north and south to take over the entire Middle East. The Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis is extremely dangerous to humanity and must be stopped." At the same time Netanyahu made his comments, the negotiations between Iran and the six world powers continued at the Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel in Lausanne. After an hour-long meeting on Sunday morning between Kerry and Zarif, the two will meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond.
The president’s comments effectively wiped away the more conventional statement he delivered at the White House a day earlier when he branded members of the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists who take part in violence as “criminals and thugs.” RIGHT? WRONG? NO OPINION? President Donald Trump says he may grant a pardon to former Sheriff Joe Arpaio following his recent conviction in federal court, prompting outrage among critics who say the move would amount to an endorsement of racism.
A direct role for Sox10 in specification of neural crest-derived sensory neurons. sox10 is necessary for development of neural and pigment cell derivatives of the neural crest (NC). However, whereas a direct role for Sox10 activity has been established in pigment and glial lineages, this is more controversial in NC-derived sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs). We proposed that sox10 functioned in specification of sensory neurons, whereas others suggested that sensory neuronal defects were merely secondary to absence of glia. Here we provide evidence that in zebrafish, early DRG sensory neuron survival is independent of differentiated glia. Critically, we demonstrate that Sox10 is expressed transiently in the sensory neuron lineage, and specifies sensory neuron precursors by regulating the proneural gene neurogenin1. Consistent with this, we have isolated a novel sox10 mutant that lacks glia and yet displays a neurogenic DRG phenotype. In conjunction with previous findings, these data establish the generality of our model of Sox10 function in NC fate specification.
Students at Berkeley High School walked out of class last week to protest campus administrators' response to allegations of sexual assault. It all began after the names of boys accused of assault started appearing on the wall of a girls' restroom. Around the same time, an unnamed student filed a lawsuit against the school, alleging that her sexual assault case was mishandled. Student organizers plan to present a list of demands to the school board on Wednesday. And in the era of both the #MeToo movement and student protests, organizers hope that these policy changes will change the culture of their school. Guests:
More thoughts on West, Obama and Malveaux I went back and watched the entire video of their appearance on Tavis's show, and then thought some on it. There is a tendency to react to this sort of thing out of anger, and I kinda was angry when I first started watching. But the more I listened, the more I calmed down, as I saw what really seemed to be at work. I didn't hear a single policy disagreement in the entire interview. Not one. What I did hear was a general complaint that Obama isn't claiming his blackness--historically or politically. That sort of talk makes me cringe, if only because it's so open to interpretation and can easily slide into a sort of lazy equivalence between lefty politics and blackness. Barack Obama could have stood up and quoted Boooker T. Washington or George Schuyler and yet, I don't think that's what his critics are talking about. The specific charge seems to be essentially that Obama--for political reasons--neglected to mention Martin Luther King by name ("the preacher from Georgia" being demeaning"), that he didn't mention Katrina, that he was--in Malveaux's words--"white-washing" his speech so as not to offend good white folk. Hmmm. I took the "preacher from Georgia" riff as poetic use of understatement. MLK's significance is such these days that, in America, he is the air, the symbol of purity that ideologues of all stripes reach for to launder their cause. But, hey, I love poetry, and I'm an Obama fan, so maybe I see too much. That said, it seems to me that an attempt at white-wash which mentions "the preacher from Georgia" and references the March on Washington, is a sorry effort indeed. Are we to believe that Obama's folks, think that white voters--fresh off a week of having history drummed into them--are going to somehow miss these references? If this is the Obama campaign's idea of hoodwinking white folks, they should all be fired. I got clear when I heard Malveaux salute Clinton for referencing Harriet Tubman. The beef isn't about policy. It's not about what an Obama administration would do for black people. It's not even about Obama's blackness, per se. It's about the "black freedom struggle"--the struggle that West and Malveaux see themselves as a part of--taking credit. Look, I say the following as the son of Black Panther, as a dude who learned critical thinking from the posthumous words of Malcolm X, who idolizes James Baldwin. None of that was as important to me as family. If not for my father, I'd have no idea what "the black freedom struggle" was. If not for my mother, I would have likely dropped out school in tenth grade. Barack Obama is black man who received his essential human values from three white people. In that he isn't the first. The great Frederick Douglass learned to read from his white slave-mistress. Booker T. Washington--father of organic black conservativism--was a biracial black man. Malcolm X, in some ways inheritor of that same legacy, was a multiracial black man. But Barack is living in another time, and is the progeny of more courageous people. Bear with me if I'm lapsing into either/or, I don't mean to. But this jingoist idea that the exclusive black tradition deserves primary credit for Obama's place in history feels simplistic. Half of that evening was spent praising King and the Civil Rights movement. King's kids spoke. John Lewis spoke, and Obama spent the last five minutes of his speech connecting his struggle with the Civil Rights struggle of the past. It was cool to see that. But Barack Obama was there to do his best to convince people to vote for him in November. I don't know what other criteria there really could be for judging his speech. The last thing I want to catch this dude doing, is the Electric Slide before the inauguration. Something else also--this keeps happening with a specific group of black people. I'd hate to think that they were conflating themselves and their events with black people and "black interests" at large. Did Obama's absence from the State of The Black Union say something about black people? Or did it say something about the event itself? We want to hear what you think about this article.
