description: Mass spectrometry data may be affected by random noise and baseline drift due to experimental instruments and conditions, posing significant challenges for detecting spectral peaks, particularly when identifying weak and separating overlapping peaks. To increase the sensitivity and enhance the resolution, we propose a mass spectral peak detection algorithm that integrates resolution enhancement and image segmentation. Initially, the extended Mexican hat wavelet is proposed by integrating the peak sharpening method with its wavelet. This approach accurately transforms mass spectra into wavelet space using the continuous wavelet transform. Subsequently, the triangular single-peak thresholding method, a more suitable threshold segmentation approach for spectral analysis, is introduced to identify ridges in the two-dimensional wavelet space. Compared to traditional Otsu and its improved variants, long-tailed single-peaked histograms are more effectively processed by this method with lower computational complexity, enabling faster identification of segmentation thresholds and image segmentation. Ultimately, peak positions are determined by utilizing ridge and valley lines in wavelet space along with the original spectrum. To evaluate the performance of the peak recognition algorithm, two metrics are introduced: the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the balanced F score (F1 score). When compared to multi-scale peak detection (MSPD), continuous wavelet transform and image segmentation (CWT-IS), the developed approach is more suitable for weak and highly overlapping peaks. The robustness and practicality of the method are verified through peak detection using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra.

description: We address the problem of complementing higher-order patterns without repetitions of existential variables. Differently from the first-order case, the complement of a pattern cannot, in general, be described by a pattern, or even by a finite set of patterns. We therefore generalize the simply-typed λ-calculus to include an internal notion of strict function so that we can directly express that a term must depend on a given variable. We show that, in this more expressive calculus, finite sets of patterns without repeated variables are closed under complement and intersection. Our principal application is the transformational approach to negation in higher-order logic programs.

description: We are discussing a universal non-unitary map M subsequent to a generic unitary map U, whose von Neumann entropy gain coincides with the calculated thermodynamic entropy production. For many-body quantum reservoirs we prove that M can be the averaging over all translations of the spatial frame. Assuming the coincidence of microscopic and macroscopic entropy productions leads to a novel equation between entropy gain of frame averaging and relative entropy. Our map M turns out to coincide with the older one called twirl, used recently in the theory of quantum reference frames. Related results to ours have been obtained and we discuss some of them briefly. Possible relevance of frame averaging (twirling) for real world irreversibility is mentioned.

description: Cancer development is driven by genomic alterations. Given that cancer progresses as an evolutionary process, cancer drivers have been computationally identified through the analysis of signals of positive selection. One of these signals is the unexpected clustering of somatic mutations, which has been shown to complement recurrence and functional impact based methods in the detection of driver genes. However, computational methods face the challenge of accurately calculating the expected mutation rates. Interestingly, recent work has shown that mutation rates can be estimated using the probabilities of k-nucleotide context substitutions, which avoids the use of genome-wide covariates and extends the applicability of such algorithms to non-protein coding regions of the genome. Given the need of combining different up-to-date methods based on different signals of positive selection, we have implemented OncodriveCLUSTL, a new sequence-based clustering algorithm to detect significant clustering signals across the genome. OncodriveCLUSTL is based on a local background model derived from the tri- or penta-nucleotide context substitutions extracted from the cancer cohort under analysis and can be applied to coding and non-coding regions from any species. Our method is able to identify known clusters of somatic mutations and well-known cancer drivers in coding regions, outperforming the existing OncodriveCLUST and complementing other methods based on different signals of positive selection. The algorithm is available as a Python 3.5 installable package and the source code, together with running examples, can be found at https://bitbucket.org/bbglab/oncodriveclustl under GNU Affero General Public License.

description: Abstract: "Certain tasks, such as formal program development and theorem proving, are inherently higher-order because they fundamentally rely upon the manipulation of higher-order objects and predicates. Computing tools intended to assist these higher-order tasks are at present inadequate in both the amount of 'knowledge' they contain (i.e., the level of support they provide) and in their ability to 'learn' (i.e., their capacity to enhance that support over time). The application of a relevant machine learning technique -- explanation-based generalization (EBG) -- has been limited to first-order problems. We extend EBG to generalize higher-order values, thereby facilitating its application to higher-order domains.Logic programming provides a uniform framework in which all aspects of explanation-based generalization and learning may be defined and carried out. First-order Horn logics (e.g., Prolog) are not, however, well suited to higher-order applications. Instead, we employ [lambda]Prolog, a higher-order logic programming language, as a framework for realizing higher-order EBG. This requires extending [lambda]Prolog with the necessity operator [box] of modal logic, which leads to the language [lambda][superscript [box]]Prolog. The necessity operator elegantly captures the distinction between domain theory and training instance upon which EBG depends. We develop a meta-interpreter realizing EBG for [lambda][superscript [box]]Prolog and provide examples of higher-order EBG.EBG has been described as 'speed-up' generalization in that its results, while improving performance, do not address previously unsolvable problems. By extending the framework with user interaction, EBG becomes a means by which user-provided search-control knowledge may be mademanifest. This facilitates application to domains in which unguided problem solving is often intractable. Of particular interest to us, and thus investigated here, are theorem proving and formal development."
Cell Lysate as a Platform Technology for Biocatalytic Synthesis and Nucleic Acid Amplification

Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: The research presented in this Thesis focuses on the enzymatic synthesis of value-added products using cell lysates prepared from E. coli as low-cost biocatalysts. Naturally abundant endogenous enzymes are leveraged where possible and these are augmented with heterologous proteins, incorporated by recombinant overexpression, to create multi-enzymatic cascade reactions. A robust ATP regeneration system was developed, utilizing the endogenous acetate kinase (Ack) with acetyl phosphate. Application to biocatalytic synthesis of UTP from uridine was demonstrated by incorporation of a recombinant uridine kinase (Udk). This cell lysate catalyzed the one-pot synthesis of UTP, CTP and 5-fluoro-UTP from the respective nucleosides, with only substoichiometric amounts of ATP when acetyl phosphate was added to the reactions. These endogenous enzymes were also applicable to the synthesis of all naturally occurring dNTPs and NTPs from the corresponding monophosphates, and these could be employed in biotechnological processes that require the triphosphates for synthesis of nucleic acids. This Ack-mediated ATP regeneration strategy was then applied to the synthesis of dNTPs from stable, unphosphorylated deoxynucleosides, utilizing a recombinant deoxynucleoside kinase (dNK). This was optimized for direct combination with PCR, enabling a one-pot dNTP synthesis to PCR process. Moreover, by co-expression with a DNA polymerase, a cell lysate was prepared from a single culture that contained all the necessary enzyme activities for dNTP synthesis and PCR. Cell lysate was also utilized for the one-pot synthesis of UTP from low-cost biological building blocks, specifically ribose and nucleobases. This led to the development of an efficient cell-lysate-based multi-enzymatic cascade reaction for the synthesis of UTP via phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). This cascade was high yielding, producing 1.4 g.L 1 UTP from equimolar amounts of ribose and orotic acid. This biosynthetic strategy was also applicable to the synthesis of ATP and GTP from adenine and guanosine respectively. Finally, the application of lysate-mediated ATP regeneration to carboxylation was investigated, by recombinantly overexpressing acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC). As part of this investigation endogenous phosphotransacetylase (Pta) in cell lysate was employed for biocatalytic synthesis of acetyl CoA from acetyl phosphate. This led to the development of a cell-lysate-mediated synthesis of 3-hydroxypropionate from acetyl phosphate, utilizing recombinant ACC and malonyl CoA reductase (MCR) in combination with the endogenous Pta. Attempts to improve the productivity of this cascade by incorporating a heterologous ACC led to the development of a strategy for post-translational biotin addition to heterologous ACC subunits in E. coli. Overall, this work serves to demonstrate the potential of cell lysates as a platform for synthetic biology and expands the scope of their application.
Higher Order Connectors

description: A critical issue for architectural design is the nature of the glue, or connectors, with which a system's parts are combined. Thus an important first step toward improving our ability to compose parts is to make to make connectors explicit semantic enties, where they can be documented, analyzed, and (sometimes) used to generate code. A number of notations for software architecture do precisely this. However, a key second step is to understand operations over connectors. In principle, such operations would permit one to produce new connectors out of old ones, adapt existing connectors to new contexts of use, and factor out common properties of connectors so they can be reused. In this paper we argue that the use of "higher order connectors" is one way to achieve this goal.

description: Soil nitrogen (N) availability is critical to root function and morphological traits, which reflect strategies for nutrient uptake and survival of plants. However, these factors have rarely been studied in temperate old-growth forests, especially understory shrubs. Therefore, we conducted an 8-year continuous N addition field experiment in Lesser Khingan Mountains northeastern China, including four N treatments. The results showed that under low and medium N treatments, the root diameter of all shrubs generally increased, which was caused by the increase in root stele diameter and cortical thickness, which were mainly regulated by soil NH4+-N. Low N treatment significantly increased the ratio of stele to root diameter, promoted the development of stele and tracheid characteristics, and thus improved the transport capacity of fine roots. High N treatment decreased the cortical thickness of all shrubs, but increased the total area and number of tracheid, which might have a significant positive impact on the growth of fine roots. These results suggest that N deposition may affect the physiological function and activity of fine roots by affecting their diameter, cortical thickness, and stele diameter. Collectively, plants can adjust their root nutrient absorption strategies to adapt to changes in the nutrient environment.

description: The deployment of moral sentiments—humanitarian governance—both at an international and domestic level is a defining aspect of our times. Despite lofty aspirations, this ideology results in a global system of governance where domination and assistance are explicitly linked. Far from benign benevolence, humanitarian ideals are employed by international organisations to manage refugees while maintaining the legitimacy of the nation-based, global order. In an era punctuated by rhetoric and practice regarding the securing of national borders, the Bhutanese are an elite group of among refugees who represent a global community’s humanitarian heart. After two decades living in camps run by the UNHCR, the Bhutanese refugees are being resettled. Following 18 months of multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork, in South Australia and in Nepal, it became evident this group had an insightful understanding of the expected behaviour of a refugee. Such expectations included mourning a lost nation; constituting a community; and requiring social reform. The Bhutanese actively cultivated an image of domesticated (controlled) subjects eligible for ongoing care and support. This performance required the Bhutanese to transform or mask their existing values and social norms. These performances provided a veneer of compliance that masked action. It is through these various junctures of expectation, performance, and contestation that their dynamic experiences are fruitfully examined. The well-meaning discourse of humanitarianism absolves the conscience of the global community in the face of ever increasing evidence of injustices caused by nation building. Though the Bhutanese are a specific group, their experiences are reflective of the mores, values, and assumptions of our world. This ethnography illustrates how humanitarian ideals actively contour refugee identity to maintain the global order. Refugees must reinvent themselves to mirror the expectations of the governing institutions. It underscores that in accepting the role of humanitarian subject, refugees must abandon their role as contributors to the nation state and become satisfied with the position of guests. As supplicants in global reconstitutions, refugees articulate both the grand aspirations and the desperate shortcomings of a new, humanitarian system of global relationships.

description: A fundamental and widely applied concept used to study surface flow processes is the advance-time curve characterized by an empirical power law with an exponent r and a numerical prefactor p (i.e., x = p*t^r). In the literature, different values of r have been reported for various situations and types of surface irrigation. Invoking concepts from percolation theory, we related the exponent r to the backbone fractal dimension Db, whose value depends on two factors: dimensionality of the system (e.g., two or three dimensions) and percolation class (e.g., random or invasion percolation with/without trapping). We showed that the theoretical bounds of Db are in well agreement with experimental ranges of r reported in the literature for two furrow and border irrigation systems. We also used the value of Db from the optimal path class of percolation theory to estimate the advance-time curves of four furrows and seven irrigation cycles. Excellent agreement was obtained between the estimated and observed curves.

description: In [Pal13] (arXiv:1106.4540) the second author proved that the sequence of "oriented" configuration spaces on an open connected manifold exhibits homological stability as the number of particles goes to infinity. To complement that result we identify the corresponding limiting space, up to homology equivalence, as a certain explicit double cover of a section space. Along the way we also prove that the scanning map of McDuff in [McD75] for unordered configuration spaces is acyclic in the limit.

Microscopic description of fission in odd-mass uranium and plutonium nuclei with the Gogny energy density functional

description: The parametrization D1M of the Gogny energy density functional is used to study fission in the odd-mass Uranium and Plutonium isotopes with A=233,\ldots,249 within the framework of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) Equal Filling Approximation (EFA). Ground state quantum numbers and deformations, pairing energies, one-neutron separation energies, barrier heights and fission isomer excitation energies are given. Fission paths, collective masses and zero point rotational and vibrational quantum corrections are used to compute the systematic of the spontaneous fission half-lives t$_{SF}$, the masses and charges of the fission fragments as well as their intrinsic shapes. Although there exits a strong variance of the predicted fission rates with respect to the details involved in their computation, it is shown that both the specialization energy and the pairing quenching effects, taken into account fully variationally within the HFB-EFA blocking scheme, lead to larger spontaneous fission half-lives in odd-mass U and Pu nuclei as compared with the corresponding even-even neighbors. It is shown that modifications of a few percent in the strengths of the neutron and proton pairing fields can have a significant impact on the collective masses leading to uncertainties of several orders of magnitude in the predicted t$_{SF}$ values. Alpha-decay lifetimes have also been computed using a parametrization of the Viola-Seaborg formula.

description: The 2021 general election in Samoa was followed by a series of controversial events, including the use of the gender quota as a strategy for the incumbent government to hold onto power. The first In Brief of this two-part series describes the events and gives an explanation of Samoan gender norms. This part discusses the introduction of the gender quota and comments on the attempted use of this temporary special measure (TSM) as a strategy to decide the government. Dr Mema Motusaga writes with experience as an advocate for women’s equality in all spaces. Her doctoral thesis, Women in Decision Making in Samoa, includes a detailed discussion of the introduction of temporary special measures that resulted in the introduction of a gender quota. This personal perspective does not necessarily reflect the views of her employer.

description: Various lattice gas automata have been proposed in the past decades to simulate physics and address a host of problems on collective dynamics arising in diverse fields. In this work, we employ the lattice gas model defined on the sphere to investigate the curvature driven dynamic structures and analyze the statistical behaviors in equilibrium. Under the simple propagation and collision rules, we show that the uniform collective movement of the particles on the sphere is geometrically frustrated, leading to several non-equilibrium dynamic structures not found in the planar lattice, such as the emergent bubble and vortex structures. With the accumulation of the collision effect, the system ultimately reaches equilibrium in the sense that the distribution of the coarse-grained speed approaches the two-dimensional Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution despite the population fluctuations in the coarse-grained cells. The emergent regularity in the statistical behavior of the system is rationalized by mapping our system to a generalized random walk model. This work demonstrates the capability of the spherical lattice gas automaton in revealing the lattice-guided dynamic structures and simulating the equilibrium physics. It suggests the promising possibility of using lattice gas automata defined on various curved surfaces to explore geometrically driven non-equilibrium physics.

description: Collapse models postulate that space is filled with a collapse noise field, inducing quantum Brownian motions which are dominant during the measurement, thus causing collapse of the wave function. An important manifestation of collapse noise field, if any, is thermal energy generation, thus disturbing the temperature profile of a system. The experimental investigation of collapse-driven heating effect has provided, so far, the most promising test of collapse models against standard quantum theory. In this paper, we calculate the collapse-driven heat generation for a three-dimensional multi-atomic Bravais lattice, by solving stochastic Heisenberg equations. We perform our calculation for the mass-proportional Continuous Spontaneous Localization collapse model with non-white noise. We obtain the temperature distribution of a sphere under stationary-state and adiabatic surface conditions. However, the exact quantification of effect highly depends on the value of cutoff in the collapse noise spectrum.
description: In v2, wrong normalization constant was used for the polarization of multi-atomic crystals. The corresponding formulas are revised in this version using correct normalization. The Debye model of acoustic branches is used for further quantification of collapse-driven heat generation

description: Sterile neutrinos with keV masses can constitute all or part of the cosmological dark matter. The electroweak-singlet fermions, which are usually introduced to explain the masses of active neutrinos, need not be heavier than the electroweak scale; if one of them has a keV-scale mass, it can be the dark-matter particle, and it can also explain the observed pulsar kicks. The relic sterile neutrinos could be produced by several different mechanisms. If they originate primarily from the Higgs decays at temperatures of the order of 100 GeV, the resulting dark matter is much ``colder'' than the warm dark matter produced in neutrino oscillations. The signature of this form of dark matter is the spectral line from the two-body decay, which can be detected by the X-ray telescopes. The same X-rays can have other observable manifestations, in particular, though their effects on the formation of the first stars.

description: Dialogue agents are often designed with the tacit assumption that at any one time, there is but one agent and one human, and that their communication channel is exclusive. We are interested in examining situations in which multiple heterogeneous dialogue agents need to interact with a human interlocutor, and where the communication channel becomes necessarily shared. To this end we have constructed a multi-agent dialogue test-bed on which to study dialogue coordination issues in multirobot scenarios.

description: Common organic coatings are hardly conductive and seldom applied in electromagnetic shielding fields. Thereby, the thermoplastic conductive nanocomposites, waterborne silicon-acrylic emulsion (SAE) merged with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and silica sols (Si), were prepared via co-blending method. Compared with neat SAE, the conductivity of composite latex (5 wt.% MWCNT and 1.5 wt.% Si) was raised nearly seven orders of magnitude, and the tensile strength and Young’s modulus were enhanced to 366% and 177%, respectively. The contact angle was raised from 59° to 84°. The curing temperature was decreased by 12.8 °C. These enhancements proved that the addition of MWCNTs and silica sol could boost the electrical, mechanical, curing, heatproof and waterproof performances of SAE, which will be employed in high-property conductive paint areas, including the flexible and stretchable devices.

description: Complex networks hosting binary-state dynamics arise in a variety of contexts. In spite of previous works, to fully reconstruct the network structure from observed binary data remains to be challenging. We articulate a statistical inference based approach to this problem. In particular, exploiting the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, we develop a method to ascertain the neighbors of any node in the network based solely on binary data, thereby recovering the full topology of the network. A key ingredient of our method is the maximum likelihood estimation of the probabilities associated with actual or non-existent links, and we show that the EM algorithm can distinguish the two kinds of probability values without any ambiguity, insofar as the length of the available binary time series is reasonably long. Our method does not require any {\em a priori} knowledge of the detailed dynamical processes, is parameter free, and is capable of accurate reconstruction even in the presence of noise. We demonstrate the method using combinations of distinct types of binary dynamical processes and network topologies, and provide a physical understanding of the underlying reconstruction mechanism. Our statistical inference based reconstruction method contributes an additional piece to the rapidly expanding "toolbox" of data based reverse engineering of complex networked systems.

description: The performance of all subsystems of the CMS muon detector has been studied by using a sample of proton--proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected at the LHC in 2010 that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 40 inverse picobarns. The measured distributions of the major operational parameters of the drift tube (DT), cathode strip chamber (CSC), and resistive plate chamber (RPC) systems met the design specifications. The spatial resolution per chamber was 80-120 micrometers in the DTs, 40-150 micrometers in the CSCs, and 0.8-1.2 centimeters in the RPCs. The time resolution achievable was 3 ns or better per chamber for all 3 systems. The efficiency for reconstructing hits and track segments originating from muons traversing the muon chambers was in the range 95-98%. The CSC and DT systems provided muon track segments for the CMS trigger with over 96% efficiency, and identified the correct triggering bunch crossing in over 99.5% of such events. The measured performance is well reproduced by Monte Carlo simulation of the muon system down to the level of individual channel response. The results confirm the high efficiency of the muon system, the robustness of the design against hardware failures, and its effectiveness in the discrimination of backgrounds.

An Assessment of Bougainville's President Toroama Part One: A Little-known New Leader
Creators: name: Regan, Anthony

Year: 2021

description: his is the first of three linked In Briefs about the record of Ishmael Toroama, elected President of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (hereinafter Bougainville) in September 2020. Toroama is little known outside Bougainville. The limited publicly available information about him emphasises his roles as a prominent fighting leader, of fearsome reputation, with the Bougainville Revolutionary Army (BRA) and as a BRA representative in the signing of the 2001 Bougainville Peace Agreement (BPA). Since the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) was established in mid-2005, he has often been discussed in Bougainville as being a ‘warlord’. These three In Briefs seek to address the gap in knowledge about him so that a more considered assessment can be made. This first In Brief outlines Toroama’s origins and then his little-known but remarkably consistent record as a peacebuilder in Bougainville.

description: The jellium is a model, introduced by Wigner (1934), for a gas of electrons moving in a uniform neutralizing background of positive charge. Wigner suggested that the repulsion between electrons might lead to a broken translational symmetry. For classical one-dimensional systems this fact was proven by Kunz (1974), while in the quantum setting, Brascamp and Lieb (1975) proved translation symmetry breaking at low densities. Here, we prove translation symmetry breaking for the quantum one-dimensional jellium at all densities.

Heterogeneous Latch-based Asynchronous Pipelines

description: We present a technique to automatically synthesize heterogeneous asynchronous pipelines by combining two different latching styles: normally open D-latches for high performance and self-resetting D-latches for low power. Theformer is fast but results in high power consumption due to data glitches that leak through the latch when it is open. The latter is normally closed and is opened just before data stabilizes. Thus, it is more power-efficient but slower than normally open D-latches. We propose a module selection optimization that assigns each pipeline stage to one of these two latching styles. This is performed by an automated algorithm that uses two types of heuristics: (1) it uses the Global Critical Path (GCP), to assign D-latches to stages that are sequentially critical, and (2) it estimates potential datapath glitching to make SR-latch assignment decisions. The algorithm has quadratic-time complexity and experiments that apply the algorithm on several media processing kernels indicate that, on average, the heterogeneous pipelining algorithm achieves higher performance and is more energy efficient than either the homogeneous D-latch or SR-latch pipeline styles.
Development of a new analysis technique to measure low radial-order p modes in spatially-resolved helioseismic data

description: In order to take full advantage of the long time series collected by the GONG and MDI helioseismic projects, we present here an adaptation of the rotation-corrected $m$-averaged spectrum technique in order to observe low radial-order solar p modes. Modeled profiles of the solar rotation demonstrated the potential advantage of such a technique. Here we develop a new analysis procedure which finds the best estimates of the shift of each $m$ of a given ($n,\ell$) multiplet, commonly expressed as an expansion in a set of orthogonal polynomials, which yield the narrowest mode in the $m$-averaged spectrum. We apply the technique to the GONG data for modes with $1 \leq \ell \leq 25$ and show that it allows us to measure lower-frequency modes than with classic peak-fitting analysis of the individual-$m$ spectra.

description: Introduction: Malignant germ cell tumors (MGCT) can occur in both genders. In this study, we present eight cases of mixed ovarian MGCT in patients. Most patients reported in the current study are young women, among whom clinical characteristics of gonadal dysgenesis associated MGCT were rarely reported. Methods: Comprehensive information of eight patients with mixed ovarian MGCTs, including patients’ age, clinical features, tumor markers, imaging findings, surgical records, pathology, karyotyping tests, chemotherapy and follow-up were collected. Surgical specimens were evaluated by two specialized gynecologic pathologists. Results: All patients received surgery, while seven received chemotherapy. Among them, two received a second surgery and three patients received hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after gonadectomy. Four of five patients with amenorrhea were found to have 46, XY karyotype. All patients showed no sign of recurrence at the latest follow-up. Discussion: Karyotyping or genetics testing in patients with amenorrhea is necessary, especially for patients with pelvic mass, which can help surgeons to evaluate the necessity of gonadectomy before surgery. The patients with gonadal dysgenesis associated mixed ovarian MGCT seem to have better prognosis and long survival time. Thus, HRT, an option that can improve life quality, is worth considering for these patients after gonadectomy.
Searching for new homogeneous sine-Gordon theories using T-duality symmetries

description: The Homogeneous sine-Gordon (HSG) theories are integrable perturbations of $G_k/U(1)^{r_G}$ coset CFTs, where $G$ is a simple compact Lie group of rank $r_G$ and $k>1$ is an integer. Using their T-duality symmetries, we investigate the relationship between the different theories corresponding to a given coset, and between the different phases of a particular theory. Our results suggest that for $G=SU(n)$ with $n\geq5$ and $E_6$ there could be two non-equivalent HSG theories associated to the same coset, one of which has not been considered so far.
