Let   be independent, identically distributed real-valued random variables with common characteristic function . The empirical characteristic function (ECF) defined as 

is an unbiased and consistent estimator of the corresponding population characteristic function , for each . The ECF apparently made its debut in page 342 of the classical textbook of Cramér (1946), and then as part of the auxiliary tools for density estimation in Parzen (1962). Nearly a decade later the ECF  features as the main object of research in two separate lines of application: In Press (1972) for parameter estimation and in Heathcote (1972) for goodness-of-fit testing. 
Since that time there has subsequently been a vast expansion of statistical inference methods based on the ECF. For reviews of estimation methods based on the ECF the reader is referred to Csörgő (1984a), Rémillard and Theodorescu (2001), Yu (2004), and Carrasco and Kotchoni (2017), while testing procedures are surveyed by Csörgő (1984b), Hušková and Meintanis (2008a), Hušková and Meintanis (2008b), and Meintanis (2016). Ushakov (1999) and Prakasa Rao (1987) (chapter 8) are also good sources of information on the limit properties of the ECF process, as well as on estimation and goodness-of-fit testing via the ECF.
One of the lines of research that deserves special mention is ECF testing for independence by means of distance correlation as originally suggested by Székely et al. (2007). This approach has become extremely popular and is currently under vigorous development. We refer to Edelmann et al. (2019) for a recent survey on distance correlation methods. 
Another popular line of research is goodness-of-fit testing for multivariate distributions, with special emphasis on testing for multivariate normality; for more information on this topic the reader is referred to the review by Ebner and Henze (2020).  This approach of ECF-based goodness-of-fit testing has been generalized by Chen et al. (2022)  to testing fit for arbitrary elliptical distributions by means of modification of the two-sample test initially suggested by Meintanis (2005).   
A recent account of the basic ECF-based goodness-of-fit methods for testing symmetry, homogeneity and independence may be found in Chen et al. (2019).

William Henry Morgan (January 20, 1825September 3, 1878) was an English American immigrant, lawyer, and educator.  He served as a Union Army officer in the American Civil War, serving as adjutant to General Cadwallader C. Washburn throughout the war.  He received an honorary brevet to brigadier general in 1865.

Biography
Morgan was born in England, in 1825, and emigrated to the United States, settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Career
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, he volunteered for service in the Union Army and was enrolled as a 2nd lieutenant in the 2nd Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment, serving as adjutant to Colonel Cadwallader C. Washburn.

In June 1862, Washburn was appointed brigadier general commanding a cavalry brigade under General Samuel Ryan Curtis's Army of the Southwest.  Morgan went with Washburn as adjutant of the brigade and was promoted to captain in this capacity in August 1862.  Washburn was subsequently promoted to major general and given command of all cavalry forces in West Tennessee; Morgan remained adjutant to Washburn and was promoted to major.  Morgan served with Washburn through the war and received an honorary brevet to brigadier general.

After the war, Morgan remained in the service for several years organizing militia volunteers in Tennessee, and subsequently moved to New Orleans, Louisiana.  He died of Yellow Fever at New Orleans in 1878.

Innocent Bystanders is a 1972 spy thriller directed by Peter Collinson that was filmed in Spain and Turkey. It stars Stanley Baker and Geraldine Chaplin. The screenplay was written by James Mitchell based on his novel The Innocent Bystanders (1969). Mitchell had previously written several John Craig spy thrillers under the name James Munro.

Plot
John Craig (Baker) is an aging British secret agent who is tasked with returning a defector, the Russian scientist Kaplan (Sheybal) who has foregone science for a modest life as a goatherd in Turkey. Craig faces opposition from his boss, his younger replacements, an American secret agent, a Turkish hotel keeper, and an organization of Russian Jews hostile to Kaplan. Craig's mission is complicated by Miriam (Chaplin), an innocent bystander who is taken hostage.

Reception
Roger Greenspun was dissatisfied with what he termed the "general inconsequence" that the script evokes. However, Greenspun expressed that Chaplin's performance was "so reticent and so appealing as to constitute a small personal triumph. She is granted the film's only moments of quiet intelligence. She fills these moments with delicate intimacy that contrasts with everything else in the film that really does suggest a reservoir of feeling to oppose the lives around her that are wasted in mere action." Time magazine noted the standout performances of Donald Pleasence as the Head of British Intelligence and Vladek Sheybal as a minor agent.

WSEK (910 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a classic country music format. Licensed to Burnside, Kentucky, United States, the station is currently owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.

History
The station went on the air as WKEQ in 1984. The station was owned by a group headed by Greensburg, Kentucky native Lynn Pruitt. WKEQ launched with a country music format with studios on US 27. WKEQ launched a Top 40/CHR FM sister station as WJDJ (93.9 FM; now WSEK-FM) on August 16, 1985. In 1999, WSEK flipped to a gospel music format from the Solid Gospel network (now Singing News Radio). By 2005, the station had switched to a sports radio format.

In 2001, the First Radio conglomerate was sold to Clear Channel Communications. In November 2006, Clear Channel announced that it would place its Somerset cluster up for sale. The following May, Clear Channel announced a buyer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based GoodRadio.TV. However, the deal fell through due to financial difficulties, and the stations remain owned by now-iHeartMedia.

On August 9, 2005, the station changed its call sign to WLLK; it changed to WSFE on August 18, 2005.

On June 1, 2016, the station switched its calls to the current WSEK and began airing classic country music, pushing the News Talk Information format to WSFC.

Club Deportivo Laredo is a Spanish football team based in Laredo, in the autonomous community of Cantabria. Founded in 1927, it plays in Segunda División RFEF – Group 1, holding home matches at Campo de Fútbol San Lorenzo, which has a capacity of 2,500.

History
CD Laredo was founded in 1927 with the name of Sociedad Deportiva Charlestón. In 1932 the club won the Regional Final against Madrid of Santander (Racing reserve team) 4:1. That was a huge success in the beginning of its history. After the Spanish Civil War, due to a temporary law forbidding the use of foreign words in football club names, the team's official denomination changed to the current Club Deportivo Laredo.

In 1987, the club promoted for the first time to Segunda División B. Despite being immediately relegated, the club returned to the third tear just one year later, but it finished again in the relegation positions.

Since 1990, Laredo played uninterruptedly in Tercera División. In the 2018-19 season the club won silver medals by finishing just 6 points behind the champion UM Escobedo.

Joseph Paul Tierney (February 8, 1903, in New Haven, Connecticut – April 8, 2004, in Hamden, Connecticut) was an American sprinter.  Representing the United States, he ran the 400 metres in the 1928 Olympics.  Tierney won his heat in 49.8, but finished fourth in his quarter-final (won in 49.2 by Canadian Phil Edwards, who would become a five time Olympic bronze medalist) and was eliminated.

Running for Holy Cross, Tierney won the 1925 IC4A 440-yard title in 47.9; the time was his lifetime best and the best in the world that year.

Tierney survived until age 101, one of the few Olympic centenarians.

Feed The Deed, also known as #FeedtheDeed, is a social media pay-it-forward initiative that started in February 2014. Participants film themselves performing a creative random act of kindness, then nominate friends and family to continue on the chain. The participant usually uploads a video or pictures of the kind act to Facebook, then will tag four or five friends in the post. The nominated person is generally told to complete the task within 24 hours.

Since this initiative was started, over 10,000 #FeedtheDeed posts have been uploaded to various forms of social media. The trend is most popular in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Mexico, but has since spread to over 30 countries. The act of kindness can be anything – from donating food and clothes to the homeless, to giving blood.

History 
Feed The Deed originated as a response to the Neknominate drinking game, in which participants film themselves drinking alcohol then nominate friends to do the same.

Josh Stern, a medical student at the University of Ottawa, posted his original #FeedtheDeed video to his Facebook page. He was then contacted by his friend Russell Citron, who is president and founder of the non-profit organization Kindness Counts. The two decided to collaborate on the project by taking Stern's #FeedtheDeed moniker and running it through Citron's organization Kindness Counts.

Stern says that the inspiration for #FeedtheDeed came from a YouTube video in which Brent Lindeque decided to use his neknomination to give food to a homeless man instead of drinking alcohol. Lindeque is currently running a similar campaign in South Africa called #ChangeOneThing.

Feed the Deed has been run through the "Kindness Counts" Facebook page.

Hydrogel from wood-based nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) is used as a matrix for 3D cell culture, providing a three-dimensional environment that more closely resembles the conditions found in living tissue.

As plant based material, it does not contain any human- or animal-derived components. Nanocellulose is instead derived from wood pulp that has been processed to create extremely small, nanoscale fibers. These fibers can be used to create a hydrogel, which is a type of material that is made up of a network of cross-linked polymer chains and is able to hold large amounts of water.

Overview 
As the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in the survival, proliferation, differentiation and migration of the cells, hydrogels mimicking natural ECM structure are considered as potential approaches towards in vivo –like cell culturing. GrowDex is NFC hydrogel for 3D cell culture commercialized by UPM, Finland.

Material properties 
NFC fiber network structure and dimensions in hydrogel resemble human ECM. Stiffness can be tuned to optimize the conditions for each cell type. Shear-thinning property of the material makes the gel ready to use without cross-linking or gelification step. The nanocellulose hydrogel can be completely degraded by cellulase enzyme treatment while retaining the 3D cell structures.

Applications 
NFC hydrogel in 3D cell culture offers a platform for various biomedical applications. Different cell lines and cell types have been cultured in NFC, including e.g. differentiation of human hepatic cells to functional organotypic cultures, and proliferation of human pluripotent stem cells. Organotypic liver cell cultures can be used in drug discovery for testing liver toxicity and metabolism of the novel drug candidates. The possibility to use the hydrogel with robotic dispensers enables its use in high throughput screening (HTS) formats.

Additionally, 3D cell culture using wood-based nanocellulose hydrogel can be used for tissue engineering.
