Introduction
============

The thoracic duct is a central lymphatic system located in the posterior mediastinum in the lower part of the chest connecting to the subclavian region. It contributes to transport excess liquid and protein from the interstitial tissue, and lipid and lipid-soluble vitamins from the gastrointestinal tract, to the circulatory system.^[@B1]^ The anatomic variation of the thoracic duct is common, including divided channel, duplication, bilateral outflow, and right outflow.^[@B1]--[@B3]^ Therefore, it is important to know the course of the thoracic duct especially before the thoracic surgery. The damage of the thoracic duct may cause chylothorax, leading to serious metabolic, immunologic, and nutritional complications. These complications result in a relatively high mortality rate of up to 50% unless treated properly.^[@B4]^

The imaging of the thoracic ductography is challenging. Conventional lymphography withanalyses were performed with a software package (MedCalc, version 15.8; MedCalc Software, Mariakerke, Belgium).

Source images were transferred to a workstation (Ziostation; Ziosoftware, Tokyo). A board-certified radiologist with experience of the thoracic imaging more than 10 years created representative images with a curved planar reformation and a partial maximum intensity projection.

Results
=======

The acquisition time for bTFEe ranged from 1 minute 31 seconds to 2 minutes 19 seconds; that for TSE ranged from 6 minutes 30 seconds to 8 minutes 1 second.

[Table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"} summarizes the scores of visualization of the thoracic duct on bTFEe and TSE. Both sequences visualized the thoracic duct from moderately to completely ([Fig. 1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). The scores of bTFEe achieved 3 or 4 in all the sections of the thoracic duct, except for a case in the lower


of 3D balanced turbo field echo with navigator gate and cardiac-trigger by Kato et al.^[@B5]^ They reported generally good visualization of the thoracic duct. However the upper portion of the thoracic duct was less visualized with 3D balanced turbo field echo. They suggested that balanced turbo field echo may be susceptible for artifact at the air-tissue or bone-tissue boundaries. Meanwhile, bTFEe showed a relatively good visualization of the upper portion of the thoracic duct. Although the techniques including bTFEe, shimming method, and real reconstruction might have contributed to improve the visibility of the thoracic duct, we did not compare the visibility of the thoracic duct between conventional balanced turbo field echo and bTFEe in this study; the difference in visibility of the thoracic duct between both methods remainsAlthough we did not use such materials, the thoracic duct was well visualized on bTFEe. As far as healthy subjects are scanned, we assume that no supraclavicular compression is needed for MRTD on bTFEe. Furthermore, no supraclavicular compression might have contributed to the better visualization of the draining portions of the thoracic duct in the venous system in this study. On the other hand, supraclavicular compression may improve visibility of MRTD, particularly in elderly patients with narrow thoracic duct.

On steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging, resonant frequency of lipid has opposite phase to that of water, when selecting certain TR (i.e., TR = 4.6 ms at 1.5T).^[@B10]^ This phenomenon can be applied to fat-suppression technique that does not increase scan time. As such, fat signal should be negative value,


whereas water signal should be positive, on real reconstruction images (i.e., images maintaining the positive and negative signals values) on SSFP, resulting in signal difference between water and fat. Meanwhile, this signal difference should decrease on magnitude reconstruction images, where both water and fat signals are displayed in absolute value. Thus, real reconstruction technique might have some effect on suppressing fat tissue in this study, because fat tissue in the posterior mediastinum around the thoracic duct showed a relatively low intensity on bTFEe. However, we did not sufficiently assess the utility of fat suppression on bTFEe using real reconstruction technique, and this should be evaluated in the future. In addition, the method for *k*-space ordering might have affected the imaging contrast for MRTD. Morita et al.^[@B11]^ compared thein this study.^[@B12]^

Only one case showed poor visualization in the lower section of the thoracic duct on bTFEe. In this case, the lower section of thoracic duct was visualized as the low signal structure. This is expected to the reversed signal on the real image due to the magnetic inhomogeneity or inadequate shimming, particularly at the periphery in the scanned area, because the BMI of this case was the highest (i.e., 29.7) among the subjects. Another shimming method such as pencil beam second-order shimming might have improved the visibility of the thoracic duct. In addition, simultaneous observation of both real and magnitude images may be helpful to reduce the misreading of the thoracic duct in such a case because magnitude image show the data in absolute value.

Sydney, Professor John Raskoand his research team at the adjoining Centenary Institute have worked tirelessly over the last few years characterising intron retention (IR) as a distinct and vital epigenetic mechanism. They were rewarded in 2013 with apublication in Cell describing granulopoiesis as being regulated by IR through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

Importantly, epigenetic marks such as methylation at exon-intron boundaries and H3.3 lysine6 trimethylation control the rate of IR in a number of cell lines. For example, a methylated splice site may recruit Mecp2 binding to DNA, slowing the rate of RNA polymerase II elongation and increasing the chance of a splice event. The obverse of this process is that RNA pol II skips this site and retains the intron. The resulting transcripts contain a premature termination codon anda fair value much lower than CMP (current market price).”

The second scenario is that Jio puts Vodafone and Idea of business, and settles into a two-player market with Bharti. In such a case, Bharti’s stock price is worth far more than what the market is valuing it at present, he said.

“No longer comfortable with picking one (scenario), we move Bharti to NR (not rated),” he said.

The analyst also suggested that the incumbents should now seriously consider shutting down legacy technology like 2G, which cost more to run and therefore drag down their margins.

“This move would of course need the incumbents to rollout VOLTE on a war footing. Even if they don’t, we wonder if there is an economic case to keep the 2G networks running if the JioPhone

The world’s cheapest tablet, which has been pushed as part of an Indian government project, is floundering because a government agency thinks it should be soaked in water.

Accrording to MSN, companies will be invited to bid again to make the device after complaints of poor performance and problems rolling out a pilot model of the Aakash tablet.

It was thought the Aakash tablet would be an achievement of Indian frugal engineering which would end the digital divide in the country. The locally assembled machine has a cost price of around $50 and was to be sold to students by the government for $35.

First up was figuring out where the mandible had actually been found. The anonymous monk who happened upon the odd bone passed it along to the sixth Gung-Thang Living Buddha, an eminent figure thought to be reincarnated from past individuals who held the title. But the monk neglected to mention the name of the cave where he’d come across the fossil.

The team whittled the possibilities down to just one: Xiahe county’s Baishiya Karst cave, whose name translates to “white cliff” in Chinese. Excavations in the cave subsequently revealed large animal bones with cut marks andof Copenhagen, who specializes in ancient hominin proteins and led this phase of the work.

“I love the way cutting-edge techniques have been put together to make the dead speak,” says Martinón-Torres, who was not involved in the work. “Paleo-genetics was a revolution in the paleoanthropological field and now proteomics constitutes another frontier [of] research, opening a door to unforeseen dimensions of knowledge.”

Chasing the Denisovan ghosts

There are, however, limits to what can be said from proteins. Denisovans had a stunning amount of diversity. A study published earlier this year suggested that what we call Denisovans might actually be three distinct genetic lines, one of which is nearly as different from other Denisovans as they are from Neanderthals. But the similarity of proteins across groups and through generations makes it

For example, a three-rooted molar in the jaw is similar to that of a tooth in a previously described mandible known as Penghu 1, hinting that it, too, may be a Denisovan.

The success of these findings should help to rehabilitate holistic, enactive approaches in the minds of scientists wedded to what they see as the rigour of reductionism.

Enactivism sees organisms as creating their own reality through dynamic interaction with their environment, assimilating information about the outside world into their own ongoing dynamics, not in a reflexive way, but through active inference, such that the main patterns of activity remain driven by the system itself. This perspective is well described by Varela, Thompson and Rosch , and developed by Evan Thompson in his 2007 book Mind in Life , and by

Presuming the app uses a library date picker (so you don't need to test the picking of the date via button clicks), you can target that element and use the Cypress .type() command to enter the future date.
For example, the Material UI date picker docs has this input element
<input aria-invalid="false"
  id="date-picker-inline"
  type="text"
  class="MuiInputBase-input MuiInput-input MuiInputBase-inputAdornedEnd"

so the steps would be something like
cy.visit('https://material-ui.com/components/pickers');

const targetDate = Cypress.moment()
  .add(1, 'year')
  .add(1, 'month')
  .add(1, 'day')
  .format('MM/DD/YYYY')   // adjust format to suit the apps requirements

cy.get('input[id="date-picker-inline"]')
  .clear()
  .type(`${targetDate}{enter}`)  // presume you need the enter key to trigger an event

injection pressure condition such as shown by the curve 4 cannot be detected as an abnormal pressure condition because the curve 4 does not exceed the set pressure H.sub.1 in spite of the fact that the curve 4 shows an abnormal pressure condition. On the other hand, a signal informing of an abnormal pressure condition may be generated at a time when an injection pressure rises as shown by a portion M on the curve 2 in spite of the fact that the portion M is within the allowable pressure range. These adverse phenomena in a conventional monitoring apparatus will reside in that a set pressure for detecting an abnormal pressure rise is decided to be always constant in spite of the fact that an injection pressure in

only confirmed by identification of the mutation in the *LDLR* gene. However, to our knowledge no mutation has been reported in the Albanian population until now. Knowledge of the mutations in the *LDLR* gene helps to confirm the clinical diagnosis and also to identify younger affected members in a known FH family. Furthermore, presymptomatic diagnosis and early therapeutic intervention could prevent premature atherosclerosis. Thus, we undertook the present study to characterise the mutations of the *LDLR* gene in Albanian pedigrees with a clinical diagnosis for heterozygous FH.

The 81T\>G LDLR (5C\>W) gene mutation, located in exon 2, has a frequency of 18% in the Albanian population. The activity of the *LDLR* resulting from the 81T\>G mutation is reported to be reduced to 5-15%. The mutation was first described in Americans \[[@CIT0008]\] and also in Croatian and English FH patients \[Database of *LDLR* gene mutations in FH: <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/fh>\].

- Gordon's fiance is flat for me. She didn't strike me as interesting on the page and the actress didn't show many signs of being able to solve that problem. Also, as good as it was to see Detective Montoya here, making her an ex-lover of Gordon's fiancee is WAY too "small world syndrome" for me.

- Edward Nigma and foreshadowing in-jokes. Please let this beThe Penguin has a nice idea about it. Too bad it's going about it all wrong.

Remember the 80s TV series 'Crime Story'? I wanted to close my eyes an imagine that Oswald Cobblepot is to 'Ray Luca' what Gordon is tp 'Torello' if you get my meaning.

But if what I seen in the pilot is the tone, the series won't last a season.

About Me

I've been reading scripts in Hollywood for over ten years. In that time I've read for Oscar-winning production companies, and one of the "Big Five" agencies, among others. I'm here to share what I've learned.... mostly because I'm sick of reading bad scripts.

quadrature transmission and a 32-channel receive head coil. High resolution time-of-flight MRA was acquired using a three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient recalled echo sequence with the following scanning parameters: repetition time (TR) 12 ms; echo time (TE) 2.4 ms; flip angle (FA) 12°; field of view (FOV) 240 mm; acquisition matrix size 768 × 384; reconstructed matrix size 1024 × 1024; slice thickness 0.3 mm (after zero-fill interpolation); number of slices 352; and acquisition time 10 min 26 s. Conventional brain MRI, such as obtaining T1-weighted, T2\*-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, was also performed^[@bib22])^.

Data Analysis
-------------

The maximum intensity projection (MIP) images obtained by MRA, including the anterior and middle cerebral arteries focused on LSA, were reconstructed at the oblique coronal planes parallel to the LSA (thickness, 20 mm;carotid arteries was measured using ultrasound diagnostic equipment (LOGIQ 500, GE Yokogawa Medical Systems Corp., Hino, Tokyo, Japan) and the max IMT, i.e., the thickest portion detected in the scanned regions, was measured as described previously^[@bib24])^.

Statistical Analysis
--------------------

Quantitative data are presented as means ± standard deviation (SD) or as medians with interquartile range (IQR) when the data showed a non-normal distribution. The level of significance was set at *p* \< 0.05. Comparisons between the patient groups were performed employing the student *t*-test and the chi-square test or, when the data showed a non-normal distribution, the Mann--Whitney *U*-test. All statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS version 21 (SPSS Japan Inc., Tokyo, Japan).

Results
=======

The clinical characteristics of the enrolled patients, both the FH and the control group, are shown in **[Table


contribution of blood pressure to the incidence of CVD, with the contribution of TC being much smaller^[@bib26])^. In terms of the relationship between LDL-C and ischemic stroke, the Women\'s Health Study showed a positive correlation^[@bib27])^, while the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study showed no significant correlation^[@bib28])^. In the Hisayama Study conducted in Japan, the serum LDL-C level was found to be a significant risk factor for atherothrombotic stroke^[@bib8])^. On the other hand, it is well-known that statin treatment markedly reduces the risk of ischemic stroke, probably due to a vascular protective mechanism as well as to the LDL-C lowering effects^[@bib29])^.

To understand the effects of excess LDL-C, FH is the most appropriate model because of the inherently high levels of circulating LDL-C in these patients. A prospective registry studyWhat are the unique topics in the table?

The above structure is functionally identical to:

```java

```

However, the first form (passing the index as an argument to `distinct`) is faster, and won't run into array limit issues since it's returning a stream.

Bianna joins “CBS This Morning”

The CBS morning show has always had a three-person format… until now. Bianna Golodryga was introduced as a co-host on Wednesday morning, adding a fourth co-host chair to the set. The move makes a lot of sense: Golodryga is already on the show all the time as a fill-in host and/or correspondent…. . . to reflect the seriousness of what occurred here.” App. 31–32;

Naber Br. 11. But those comments do not prove that the District Court wrongly focused

on the underlying state crime. In fact, the District Court explicitly distinguished its

sentence for Naber’s violation of his conditions of supervised release from the state

sentence that triggered the violation. It did so by connecting “the seriousness of what

happened here” to “the fact that [Naber was] on supervised release and yet felt it was

acceptable in some way, shape or form to engage in further criminal conduct.” App. 31.

The District Court made clear that its sentence was meant to address Naber’s violation of

the conditions of his supervised release, reflect his extensive criminal history, and deter

him from future violations.


Naber responds that the 60-month federal sentence must have been to punish him

for his state offense because he served equal time on the state conviction. There are at

least two problems with this argument. First, the state court sentenced Naber to ten years’

imprisonment, twice the length of time imposed by the District Court. Second, the fact

that Naber’s federal sentence was equal to the parole-ineligible time he served in state

prison does not mean that the federal sentence was punishment for the state crime. This is

                                             prolonged durations of untreated psychosis showed poorer performance in recognition of facial expressions of emotion than those with short durations of untreated psychosis. This was apparent in general and especially for expressions of anger, surprise, and sadness. First-episode psychosis patients showed higher accuracy rates for recognising positive as opposed to negative emotions. The duration of untreated psychosis correlated positively with positive symptoms of psychosis. Symptom distribution differed across categories of psychosis, but there were similarities in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. These findings support recourse to early detection and intervention strategies in psychosis and provide valuable information on how first-episode psychosis patients behave in complex emotional and social situations.


Greene v The Reckoning

Morrow has been toppled and, aided and abetted by his half-brother Joe, Cal McGregor is now Prime Minister. Following an international incident and a monumental cover up, will the capitol implode whilst our heroes chose to explode?

After 15 weeks in office, Gareth Morrow (William McInnes) has been toppled and, aided and abetted by his half-brother Joe (Mark Mitchinson), Cal McGregor (Damien Garvey) is now Prime Minister. Meanwhile, a stolen kiss with the bride of the Chinese Premier’s cousin’s son causes an international incident all of Cleaver’s (Richard Roxburgh) doing.

When Cleaver accidentally lets ‘Princess’ escape, a devastated Jakub (Jacek Koman) calls in Cleaver’s now substantial debt or he loses a finger. Meanwhile, Cleaver is evicted with just an hour’s notice for subletting his apartment – andfor the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft to be launched in late 2014. The object targeted is 1999 JU3, a carbonaceous or C-type asteroid. [Photos: Asteroids in Deep Space]

The probe’s key mission is to collect and return samples from that rocky world, to help scientists better understand the origin and evolution of the solar system.

Hayabusa 2, propelled by an ion engine, would arrive at the asteroid in mid-2018, conduct a series of observations and operations and then return to Earth by the end of 2020.

The total cost of the mission is pegged at about $400 million — $150 million more than the original Hayabusa.

The budget boost is not surprising since Hayabusa 2 is going to be launched on Japan’s H2A rocket, which is larger than the M-V rocket used for


followed-up for a mean duration of 117.7 ± 8.7 months (range, 98-132 months). At the final follow-up, the clinical and functional means of the groups were compared using degree of kyphosis, visual analogue scale (VAS), and Roland-Morris and Oswestry scores. Mean patient age was 38.5 ± 2.4 years (range: 18-68 years). Fourteen and 13 patients were treated with the combined and posterior approach, respectively. Age (40.0 ± 10.3 and 37.0 ± 14.2 years; p=0.519), sex (female/male, 3:10 and 5:9; p=0.385), mechanism of injury (p=0.513), fractured levels (p=0.185), type of fracture (p=0.293), degree of kyphosis at initial admission (p=0.616), collapse (p=0.155), canal narrowing (p=0.280), follow-up (p=0.076) and accompanied limb fracture (p=0.374) were similar between groups. Duration of hospital stay was similar between two groups (p=0.102). However, blood loss wasmore effective in learning TESD both theoretically and numerically; (3) TESD is modeled and predicted effectively and efficiently. The impact of this work does not limit to the included application of the longitudinal analysis of brain images. The proposed methodology, generalized STGP, is generic to learn TESD for all spatiotemporal processes, with potential applications to genome-wide association study (GWAS) in evolution, climate change analysis, investment portfolio maintenance etc..

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section \[sec:generalized STGP\] reviews the separable Spatiotemporal Gaussian Process (STGP) and generalize it to be non-separable by introducing the time-dependence to the spatial kernel. Two model structures, the Kronecker product (model I) and the Kronecker sum (model II) are introduced to STGP and compared for learning the temporal evolution of spatial dependence


x}}|t}$ through dynamically varying eigenvalues of the spatial kernel ${{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}$.

First, the centered (spatial) GP ${\mathcal{GP}}(0,{{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}})$ is determined by its covariance kernel ${{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}$ which defines a Hilbert-Schmidt integral operator on $L^2({{\mathcal X}})$ as follows. $$\label{eq:intop}
T_{{{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}}: L^2({{\mathcal X}}) \rightarrow L^2({{\mathcal X}}), \quad \phi({{\bf x}}') \mapsto \int {{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}(\cdot, {{\bf x}}') \phi({{\bf x}}') d{{\bf x}}'$$ Denote $\{\lambda_\ell^2,\phi_\ell({{\bf x}})\}$ as the eigen-pairs of $T_{{{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}}$ such that $T_{{{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}} \phi_\ell({{\bf x}})=\lambda_\ell^2 \phi_\ell({{\bf x}})$. Then $\{\phi_\ell({{\bf x}})\}$ serves as an orthonormal basis for $L^2({{\mathcal X}})$. By Mercer’s theorem, we have the following representation of the spatial kernel ${{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}$ $$\label{eq:mercer}
{{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}({{\bf x}}, {{\bf x}}') = \sum_{\ell=1}^\infty \lambda_\ell^2 \phi_\ell({{\bf x}}) \phi_\ell({{\bf x}}')$$ where the series converges in $L^2$ norm.

To introduce theI}}_t$ in model II as follows: $$\label{eq:likern}
{{\mathcal C}}_{y|m}^\text{II}({{\bf z}},{{\bf z}}')= {{\mathcal C}}_{{{\bf x}}|t} \otimes {{\mathcal I}}_t ({{\bf z}},{{\bf z}}')=\sum_{\ell=1}^\infty \lambda_\ell^2(t) \delta_t(t') \phi_\ell({{\bf x}}) \phi_\ell({{\bf x}}')$$

In this paper, we assume the locations $\{{{\bf x}}_i\}$ are fixed. When the locations change with time, e.g. moving players in a game, they become a (vector) function of time, denoted ${{\bf x}}(t)$. Then it is more natural to define the time-dependent spatial kernel by simply substituting ${{\bf x}}(t)$ in ${{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}$ to define ${{\mathcal C}}_{{{\bf x}}|t} ({{\bf x}}, {{\bf x}}') = {{\mathcal C}}_{{\bf x}}({{\bf x}}(t), {{\bf x}}'(t))$ [@soh2012]. We will treat this case in another paper.

Then we train the models (solid lines with light shaded regions) based on the rest $85\%$ data (shorter gray ticks) and use them to predict the mean functions on the testing data set. The thick dash-dot lines are the predicted values of mean with dark shaded regions as the credible bands. In general, with more data (trials) we get better fit and prediction as they are closer to the truth, illustrated by the dash lines. In this example, model II gives similar results for the prediction compared with model I.

Lastly, we consider the prediction of covariance functions. Since model I cannot learn the covariance function well, we only test model II for the covariance prediction. Here we consider two types of prediction, namely TESD to future (Section \[sec:TESD2future\]) and TESD to neighbor (Section \[sec:TESD2neighbor\]). The left column of Figure \[fig:predcov\_STproc\] shows the prediction of covariance functions in the time direction, i.e. ${{\mathcal C}}_{{{\bf x}}|t_*}({{\bf x}},{{\bf x}})$.


19\}$. To study the spatial dependency in these brain images, we need a kernel with discrete size $25600\times 25600$, which is enormous if it is in a full matrix. In the following we introduce a spatial kernel based on the graph Laplacian. The resulting precision matrix is highly sparse and thus amenable to an efficient learning of TESD. Graph Laplacian has been a popular tool in the analysis of brain images [@shen2010; @ng2012; @hu2015; @huang2018].

Spatial Kernel Based On Graph Laplacian
---------------------------------------

*Graph Laplacian*, also known as discrete Laplace operator, is a matrix representation of a graph. It is a popular tool for image processing, clustering and semi-supervised/unsupervised learning on graphs [@chung1997; @smola2003]. For aL}}u = -\frac{1}{\rho} \nabla \cdot (\rho^2\nabla u),\quad x\in \Omega, \qquad \frac{{\partial}u}{{\partial}n} = 0, \quad  x\in {\partial}\Omega.$$

Based on the graph Laplacian, we can define the following discrete spatial kernel for the brain images [@dunlop2018] $$\label{eq:gLspat}
C_{{\bf x}}= (s_nL + \tau^2 I)^{-s}, \quad s_n=\frac{1}{n^{1-2/d}\log^{1+2/d}n}$$ where $d$ is the spatial dimension, i.e. $d=2$ for the chosen slice of brain images. Further assuming conditions (open, connected, and with smooth boundary) on the graph domain $\Omega$, [@dunlop2018] prove that for $s>d/2$ and $\tau\geq0$, Gaussian measure ${{\mathcal N}}(0,{{\mathcal C}})$ with ${{\mathcal C}}=({{\mathcal L}}+\tau^2{{\mathcal I}})^{-s}$ is well-defined on the weighted Hilbert space $L^2_\mu$. In another word, the graph-Laplacian based spatial kernel is well-behaved for large graphs including the brain images we investigate with $n=25600$ nodes.

Movie Review: The Witch (2015)

by Sherry Lipp

I really wish I could say I liked The Witch, but I’d be lying if I did. This new horror film has been getting a lot of praise from critics, but what really spurred me to see it was the endorsement from Stephen King. Granted, King is an author and his tastes in movies belong to him and shouldn’t matter all that much to me, but when someone like him says something’s scary it’s hard not to believe it. While The Witch does set a suitably dreary, tension-filled atmosphere, the story is incoherent and the scares are virtually non-existent.

The set up for the film was somewhat interesting. A young family is cast out of a small New England village because they justfourth parameter of setSpan() method. In your case the value should be SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE:

Spans of type SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE do not expand to include text inserted at either their starting or ending point. They can never have a length of 0 and are automatically removed from the buffer if all the text they cover is removed.

Like this:
VehicleCaptureSpan.setSpan(
        new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED),
        0,
        VehicleCapture.length(),
        Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
);

But if you want to set color or text style of whole text it is easier to set them with TextView parameters:
textViewTicketSummary.setTextColor(Color.RED);
textViewTicketSummary.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, size);
textViewTicketSummary.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);

UPD:
There is a small funny bug in your code. You are trying to append Strings instead of SpannableString values to

Skilled artisans will appreciate that elements in the figures are illustrated for simplicity and clarity. It will further be appreciated that certain actions and/or steps may be described or depicted in a particular order of occurrence while those skilled in the art will understand that such specificity with respect to sequence is not actually required. It will also be understood that the terms and expressions used herein have the ordinary meaning as is accorded to such terms and expressions with respect to their corresponding respective areas of inquiry and study[S1](#mmc1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}C). In the absence of profilin, CP caused partial depolymerization of 0.5 μM F-actin, corresponding to the increase in the critical concentration from 0.1 to 0.6 μM, its value for pointed end assembly ([Figure 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}B inset, blue symbols). The major change in critical concentration ([@bib67]) occurs between 90% capping (1 nM CP) and 99% capping (10 nM CP). Addition of increasing amounts of profilin to filaments containing between 10 and 100 nM CP did not promote a linear decrease in F-actin leading to complete disassembly, as observed when barbed ends are strongly capped by gelsolin (orange triangles in [Figure 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}B; Equation 2, [Supplemental Experimental Procedures](#mmc1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Strikingly, only partial F-actin disassembly was recorded ([Figures 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}B and [S1](#mmc1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}C). A stationary level of profilin-actin, which increased with CP, was established at 10 μM profilin in dynamic equilibrium with the remaining


side branching ([@bib2]). However, no experimental evidence has established a role of bound nucleotide in branching. This hypothesis, which had been discarded previously ([@bib5]), was further disproved, as no massive increase in branching activity was measured on F-ADP-Pi filaments ([@bib38]) or in the presence of BeF~3~^−^ (here, [Figure S4](#mmc1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). However, several reports showed clear evidence of side branching off F-ADP filaments ([@bib62], [@bib50]), with a very low frequency of 3 × 10^−5^ μM^−1^ s^−1^ ([@bib62]). How two mechanisms of branching could co-exist is not understood from available data.

We reasoned that different morphologies of individual dendritic structures initiated from a single nucleus would be obtained within the "side-branching only" versus the "end-branching only" mechanisms. While end branching generates a dichotomic fractal morphology, side branching increases the branching density on older, longerif branching occurred mainly from the side of filaments, the branching frequency derived from the value of d~0~ would generate such densely branched filaments that individual branches would be unresolvable in TIRF. In contrast, the next branching event B~1~ on the mother filament takes place at a 3-fold larger distance d~1~ from B~0~ ([Figure 6](#fig6){ref-type="fig"}C). Moreover, the distances d~1~, d~2~, and d~3~ between consecutive branching points B~0~, B~1~, B~2~, and B~3~ along the same mother filaments (see [Supplemental Experimental Procedures](#mmc1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}) had the same value of 2.5 ± 0.3 μm (925 ± 100 subunits) (N = 250, 150, and 50 for d~1~, d~2~, and d~3~ respectively ([Figure 6](#fig6){ref-type="fig"}C).

Most branching events occurring in the plane of observation generated mother and daughter filaments of equal length ([Movies S1](#mmc2){ref-type="supplementary-material"} and [S2](#mmc3){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Branching at an angle from the plane generated

In this study we determine the functional impact of two distinct BSEP mutations on transporter localization and function in two unrelated PFIC-2 patients showing a drastically different response to partial external biliary diversion (PEBD). Our data demonstrate that residual bile salt transport by BSEP is likely required for a beneficial outcome of PEBD.

INTRODUCTION
============

Chronic cholestasis is a major cause of severe liver disease in young children. Apart from biliary atresia, four types of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) are currently diagnosed. While PFIC-4 is caused by leaky bile canalicular tight junctions due to mutations in the *TJP2* gene\[[@B1]\], PFIC-1 towas obtained from patients or their parents. Bile samples from both patients were collected by external drainage. Bile samples from six non-cholestatic patients were collected intraoperatively. These patients were operated for oncological reasons and bile was collected from the common bile duct before routine gallbladder removal. Six bile samples from the common bile ducts were collected from patients with obstructive cholestasis (2 × PSC, 2 × choledocholithiasis, 1 × benign and 1 × malignant bile duct obstruction) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC).

Solid phase extraction of bile acids and analysis of BS profiles by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed as described previously\[[@B6]\].

Sequencing of *ABCB11* (BSEP, NM_003742.2), *ATP8B1* (FIC1, AF038007) and *ABCB4* (MDR3, NM_018849.2) was performed using genomic DNA extracted from EDTA blood and standard sequencing as described


the EYFP-tag and introduction of the p.T919del and p.G1032R mutations were performed using the DREAM method\[[@B20]\]. For immunofluorescence studies, HEK293 cells seeded onto coverslips were transfected at sub-confluence with 2 μg of plasmids using polyethyleneimine (MW 25 kDa; Sigma Aldrich). For isolation of plasma membrane vesicles, cells were transfected at a confluence of 30%-40% with 30 μg of each plasmid per 15-cm diameter cell culture dish and cultured for 48 h.

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

  A.   The CIA’s Refusal to Search (Count One).

  The plaintiff’s first argument is that the CIA erroneously

refused to search for records responsive to the Count One

Request. That request sought all “documents pertaining in whole

or in part (all years, all classifications) to a list of closed

Inspector General investigations and reports.” Ex. A to CIA

Decl., ECF No. 14-5 at 2. The CIA claims that the request was

too broad to interpret and that responding would have been

unduly burdensome.

  FOIA requires agencies to produce documents “upon any request

for records which . . . reasonably describes such records.” 5

U.S.C. § 552(a)(3)(A). A FOIA request must “enable[] a

professional employee of the agency who [is] familiar with the

subject area of the request to locate the record with a

reasonableNor did she describe how the CIA should determine

whether a record “pertain[s] in whole or in part” to such a

list. This phrase is difficult to define because a record may

pertain to something without specifically mentioning it. See

Black’s Law Dictionary (9th ed. 2009), pertain (“[t]o relate to”

or “to concern”); Latham v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 658 F. Supp.

2d 155, 157, 161 (D.D.C. 2009) (request for “any records . . .

that pertain in any form or sort to [plaintiff]” was “overly

broad, and to require the [agency] to process it would be overly

burdensome”); James Madison Project v. CIA, No. 8-cv-1323, 2009

WL 2777961, at *4 (E.D. Va. Aug. 31, 2009) (request for “all CIA

documents pertaining to . . . [t]he indexing and organizational

structure of all CIA Systems of Records subject to FOIA”


Dep’t of Justice, 578 F.2d 261,

262, 263 (9th Cir. 1978) (request for all records “under” a

particular individual’s name was a “broad, sweeping request[]”

that did not reasonably describe the records it sought); Hunt v.

                               13
CFTC, 484 F. Supp. 47, 51 (D.D.C. 1979) (request for records

that “concerned” the requester was overbroad); Fonda v. CIA, 434

F. Supp. 498, 501 (D.D.C. 1977) (requester who sought “all

documents which . . . ‘concern her’ but do not mention her name”

made overbroad request by “offer[ing] no criterion by which

defendants can determine which documents ‘concern her’”).

  This problem is especially acute because the CIA’s record-

keepingidentify employees of

this Agency who may be working to further the mission of the

Intelligence Community; and, the release could reasonably be

expected to damage the individual privacy of the employees or

contractors by disclosing their identities to the general

public.” Id. ¶ 6. At a minimum, this creates a moderate privacy

interest and “something, even a modest privacy interest,

outweighs nothing every time.” Nat’l Ass’n of Retired Fed. Emps.

v. Horner, 879 F.2d 873, 879 (D.C. Cir. 1989).17

       3.   Exemption 7(E) Withholdings.

     Plaintiff also challenges the DIA’s withholding of polygraph-

related information pursuant to Exemption 7(E) from V-27, V-29,

V-70, and V-71. Exemption 7(E) protects “records or information

compiled for law enforcement purposes . . . to the extent that

consider the segregability issue sua sponte.” Juarez v. Dep’t of

Justice, 518 F.3d 54, 60 (D.C. Cir. 2008) (quotation marks

omitted).

  In this Circuit, “non-exempt portions of a document must be

disclosed unless they are inextricably intertwined with exempt

portions.” Mead Data Cent., Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of the Air Force,

566 F.2d 242, 260 (D.C. Cir. 1977). The agency must “‘describe

what proportion of the information in the documents,’ if any,

‘is non-exempt and how that material is dispersed through the

documents.’” Elec. Frontier Found., 826 F. Supp. 2d at 174

(quoting Mead Data, 566 F.2d at 261) (alterations omitted). Once

it does so, the agency is “entitled to a presumption that it

complied with the obligation to disclose reasonably segregable

GUEST COLUMNIST

As a lifelong resident of Jersey City and a commercial real estate broker for 27 years, I would like to offer a different perspective on Mr. Malone's Jan. 27 editorial in The Jersey Journal.

From 1994 to 2002, I was a commissioner on the city Planning Board. During that time we voted on many redevelopment plans and development applications and revisited the master plan and zoning ordinances. The city planning staff, in my opinion, is by far the best and most dedicated in New Jersey. Most redevelopment plans and applications are vetted through many meetings with developers and stakeholders with the goal of following the master plan not just for today, but into the future. It is true that there has never been 100 percent agreement,


city has planned its most aggressive development, along those hubs. In Journal Square, the core of the highest density is around the PATH terminal, with all the surrounding areas limited to development between two to 10 stories.

TAX ABATEMENT POLICIES

As a member of Mayor Fulop's real estate transition committee, we looked at and made recommendations for tax abatement policies. The new policies are directed to areas that need incentives to grow, such as Journal Square, Bergen/Lafayette and Greenville, and were drastically reduced Downtown where the market is now sustainable without incentives.

As a commercial real estate broker, it has been difficult over the years to convince investors and developers to look at Journal Square because it just did not make economic sense.

The question is why should government give tax incentives?$|D|=n$. A [*Skolem-type sequence of order $n$*]{} is a sequence $(s_1,\ldots,s_t),t\geq 2n$ of $i\in D$ such that for each $i\in D$ there is exactly one $j\in \{1,\ldots,t-i\}$ such that $s_j=s_{j+i}=i$. Positions in the sequence not occupied by integers $i\in D$ contain null elements. The null elements in the sequence are also called [*hooks*]{}, [*zeros*]{} or [*holes*]{}. As examples, $(1,1,6,2,5,2,1,1,6,5)$ is a Skolem-type sequence of order $5$ and $(7,5,2,0,2,0,5,7,1,1)$ is a Skolem-type sequence of order $4$.

Some special Skolem-type sequences are described below.

A [*Skolem sequence of order $n$*]{} is a sequence $S_n=(s_{1},s_{2},\ldots, s_{2n})$ of $2n$ integers which satisfies the conditions:

1.  for every $k\in \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ there are exactly two elements $s_{i},s_{j}\in S$ such that $s_{i}=s_{j}=k$, and

2.  if $s_{i}=s_{j}=k,\;i<j$, then $j-i=k.$

Skolem sequences are also written as collections of ordered pairs


all the pairs of rows in Simpson’s table using the above approach. The code for the program and the results can be found in Appendix. From the results, we can easily see that if we check any combination of two lines in Simpson’s Table the conditions are not satisfied in almost all of the cases. There are two cases where this conditions are satified. The first case is when we check line 3 with line 1, and we get that for $r=4+3c$, $j_1=2c$, and $j_2=6+2c$, $c\geq 2$ the system is not simple. This implies that our system is not simple when $v=24c+57$, $c\geq2$. The second case is when we check line 3 with line 2. Here, we get $r=5$ and therefore $v=59$. But $v=59$ is not congruent to$3$ (mod $6$). A TS$_3(59)$ is simple, cyclic, and indecomposable by Theorem \[kramer\].

For $n\equiv 1(\textup{mod}~4), n\geq 9$, let $S_n$ be the Skolem sequence given by Lemma \[lem1\]. This Skolem sequence is constructed using a $hL_3^{n-2}$ ([@simpson], Theorem 2, Case 1). Since $d=3$, will use only lines $(1)-(6),(14),(7'),(8')$ and $(10')$ in Simpson’s Table. Note that $n-2=7+4r$ in Simpson’s Table, so $n=9+4r$ and $v=19+8r$ in this case. Because we add the pair $(1,1)$ at the beginning of the Langford sequence $hL_3^{n-2}$, $a_i$ and $b_i$ will be shifted to the right by two positions.

Table \[hL3n-2\] gives the $hL_3^{n-2}$ from Simpson’s Table adapted to our case.

              $a_i+2$     $b_i+2$    $i=b_i-a_i$   $0\leq


     $2r+4$            -

  : $hL_3^{n-2}$[]{data-label="hL3n-2"}

So, the base blocks of the cyclic designs produce by Construction \[c7\] are $\{0,1,2\},\{0,2,v-1\}$ and $\{0,i,b_i+2\}$ for $i=3,\ldots,n$. Using the same argument as before, we show that these designs are simple.

First, we show that $i=\frac{v}{3}$ and $b_{i}+2=\frac{2v}{3}$ is not allowed in the above system. In the first two base blocks is obvious that $i\neq \frac{v}{3}$. For the remaining base blocks we check lines $(1)-(6),(14),(7')$ and $(10')$ in Table \[hL3n-2\].

Line $(1)$ $\begin{cases} 3+2j=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 2r+6+j=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(2)$ $\begin{cases} 2r+6+2j=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 3r+8+j=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(3)$ $\begin{cases} 4+2j=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 6r+14+j=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(4)$ $\begin{cases} 2r+5+2j=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 7r+15+j=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(5)$ $\begin{cases} 4r+7=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 7r+14=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow\emptyset$.

Line $(6)$ $\begin{cases} 4r+9=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 8r+17=2\frac{19+8r}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(14)$ $\begin{cases} 4r+8=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 6r+12=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(7')$ $\begin{cases} 4r+6=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 6r+11=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Line $(10')$ $\begin{cases} 2r+4=\frac{19+8r}{3} \\ 6r+13=\frac{2(19+8r)}{3} \end{cases} \Leftrightarrow \emptyset$.

Next, we have to check that $\begin{cases} i_1+i_2=b_{i_2}
\\ b_{i_1}+i_2=2n+1 \end{cases}$ or $\begin{cases} i_1+i_2=b_{i_1} \\ b_{i_2}+i_1=2n+1 \end{cases}$ are not satisfied. As with the previous case, the results can be found in Appendix. As before, when we check line 3 and line 1 the conditions are satisfied. But, in this case $v=24c+35$, $c\geq1$ which is not congruent to $3$ (mod $6$). So, a TS$_3(24c+35)$ for $c\geq 1$ is cyclic, simple, and indecomposable by Theorem \[kramer\].

\[lem2\] For every $n\equiv 2 ~ \textup{or} ~3 ~(\textup{mod}\,4)$, $n\geq 7$, there is a hooked Skolem sequence of order $n$ in which $s_1=s_2=1$

 Developing with Tomcat and Eclipse: the Definitive Guide

I'm a big fan of Jetty's clean APIs and I use it both for development and production depending on a project, but since I'm sick and tired of people bashing Tomcat just because they haven't used it or use it wrong, I put this guide together for developing webapps (but obviously mostly Tapestry) in Eclipse with Tomcat.

Here's the toolset that you should be using: Eclipse 3.6, Sysdeo's Tomcat Plugin and Tomcat 7.x ( + M2Eclipse 0.1.x depending on whether you are using Maven or not). Eclipse WTP's generic container support is dog slow and error prone, just don't use it. There are other Tomcat plugins for Eclipse but Sysdeo's plugin is the most comprehensive one.

I work at a company with several SQL Server databases I need to work with, and I need SQL Server Management Studio. Why does Microsoft make it nearly impossible to download SQL Server Management Studio? Or, if it is available, it's completely buried within some "SQL Server Express" download. I don't know what to do.Q:

How to get a digit from a string?

For example, there is a string n containing "1234".
string n = "1234"
Now, there are int a, b, c, d for storing 1, 2, 3, 4 separately.
a is 1
b is 2
c is 3
d is 4

How to get those digits from string "12345" by using a standard function?

Previously, I use the following way.
int getDigit(string fourDigitString,int order)
{
    std::string myString = fourDigitString;
    int fourDigitInt = atoi( myString.c_str() ); // convert string fourDigitString to int fourDigitInt
    int result;
    int divisor = 4 - order;
    result = fourDigitInt / powerOfTen(divisor);
    result = result % 10;
    return result;
}

To elaborate on my comment


BlackBerry today released the much-anticipated beta release of the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps and Plug-in for Android Development Tools for BlackBerry 10.2. That’s a mouthful, but all you really have to know is that the new version adds the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean runtime; you can download the latest release now directly from BlackBerry Developer.

One of the biggest gripes with the Android runtime on BlackBerry 10 and the BlackBerry PlayBook is that it’s still using the ancient Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread version, which was originally released back in December 2010. At BlackBerry Jam Europe in February, BlackBerry announced it would be updating the Android runtime to support Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (June 2012). Now it has delivered, and with the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean release to bootdid vaguely say “later in the summer.”

Developers will want to check out the release notes for both the BlackBerry Plug-in for the Android Development Tools and the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps.

calculated in part by enhancements for two prior felony convictions. Rabe’s
conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal.
       Rabe filed a state post-conviction petition in which he alleged that Smith
had provided ineffective assistance of counsel. Smith submitted an affidavit in
response to Rabe’s allegations, which the court attached to its findings of fact
and conclusions of law in denying Rabe’s petition. The state trial court
concluded:
       While counsel admits to some errors, this Court does not find the
       errors so serious that he was


not functioning as counsel guaranteed

       omissions or mistakes raise a reasonable probability that the
       outcome of the trial would be different but for the errors. Nor does
       this Court find that the minimally deficient purpose prejudiced him

We report a case of Propionibacterium acnes DNA from the explanted intraocular lens (IOL) a 76-year-old man with delayed-onset chronic endophthalmitis. The detection was by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Slitlamp microscopic examination showed cells and flare in the anterior chamber, keratic precipitates on the endothelium, and multiple white plaques on both surfaces of the IOL. Propionibacterium acnes DNA was found in both the aqueous humor and the explanted IOL by PCR. Scanning electron microscopy showed diphtheroid particles, a coating of biofilm-like deposits, as well as scattered crystals on the surface of the explanted IOL and supported the possibility of P acne colonies on the IOL.

look at later,) and of strength: However, there is a drastic change in Mulan’s appearance from that shot onwards. After she picks up her father’s sword, the next time we see Mulan, she looks like this: See the difference? Mulan’s new, wide, rounder eyes stay with her the entire time she is in her “Ping” disguise. Until the avalanche scene, where Mulan is injured. She closes her eyes in pain, and when she opens them, they look like this again: Indicating that she is about to switch back into “female” mode. Indeed, the very next scene features Mulan’s secret being discovered, and the death of the “Ping” disguise. Her eyes remain their original shape for the rest of the movie. The Swirls: This is one of my favoriteparts of the film. Take a look at the bubbles overflowing from the bath caused by Mulan as she prepares to meet the Matchmaker:

Now check out the design on the snow careening over the cliff during the avalanche, also caused by Mulan:

It’s a very cool bit of visual foreshadowing.

This isn’t the only time those swirls appear throughout the film. They’re a visual motif that is used heavily to cause callbacks in your brain, as a way to make the way things look in this animated universe make sense to you. They appear in the clouds during the “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” sequence, as another reference to Mulan’s relationship with buckets of water:

They also show up in pillars of smoke, which is a pretty crucial focal


honor his father, Shang is also looking into his father’s sword and seeing his own reflection. Like Mulan, he’s trying to see some of his father in himself.

Immediately following this, is the beginning of the avalanche battle. Shang, blinded by grief for his father, orders the last cannon to be fired directly at Shan-Yu, a tactic which would obviously leave the team to deal with hundreds of remaining Huns. Mulan, of course, has a better idea, and where does the inspiration for that come from?

Obviously, it would be just as easy to have Mulan look up and see the mountain and get her plan that way, but a deliberate choice was made to have her see it in the reflection. Homework time: Why do you suppose that is?Ellison ready for first step back Bullets forward may return Dec. 2

Washington Bullets forward Pervis Ellison has been medically cleared to begin working out with the team, and could be in uniform when the team is host to the Seattle SuperSonics on Dec. 2.

It's the best news the Bullets have received on Ellison, who on May 12 underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove cartilage from both knees.

Ellison was examined yesterday by Dr. Steve Haas, who said the knees were fit enough for the 6-foot-10 forward to begin drills. However, Ellison has yet to be cleared to scrimmage at full speed.

Hampered by leg problems since his rookie season, when he was the top pick of the 1988 draft by the Sacramento Kings, Ellison was expected to be back on the


harms.

Take, for example, two comparable people, with similar economic circumstances in childhood, and who both suffer from depression or other mental health problems.What the study found is that if one is a childhood sexual abuse survivor, and the other is not, the childhood sexual abuse survivor is still far more likely to have negative labour market outcomes.And this is 30 years or more after the abuse itself.

“The Long-Term Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse on Incomes and Labour force Status” which is published in a short summary today, found that CSA was slightly more prevalent among women than it was among men (6.7% vs 5.6% of all those surveyed.)

Some 8% of men and 6% of women aged between 50 and 64, and who were not sexually abused as children,County, since 1975 attorney Lewin's practice has been dedicated solely to handling criminal defense.

Criminal convictions in Massachusetts carry stiff penalties, which may include lengthy prison sentences, large fines, GPS monitoring and - in cases of sexual abuse - sex offender registration. With so much at stake, solid, zealous legal representation is the only true option for those who want to protect their rights. Because these penalties are so severe, those accused of any crime should seek representation from an attorney whose entire practice is devoted to criminal defense.

Warner said that he's come out of the hearing "with more questions than when I went in." He said that Coats and Rogers were both willing to characterize their conversations with the president, arguing that they didn't feel pressure, but Warner ridiculed them for not sharing the content of those discussions.

Warner said he's "pretty frustrated" that there is a deference to a special prosecutor and he said while their "feelings response" is important, so is the contents of their communications with Trump.

"The president is not above the law," Warner said.

Warner asked if it would be concerning if the president intervened in an investigation.

"If anybody obstructs an investigation, that would be a subject of concern," Rosenstein said, adding that it would investigated appropriately.

If you were strictly investing in your local country's stock market, would you be missing out on anything? Ever wonder whether one should look at foreign markets?

Well, assuming that your country's local stock market valuation isn't extremely high--if the whole market is high and expected to remain high, one has reason to look overseas (or to different asset classes)--and ignoring macro factors--you have reason to invest overseas if you have an opinion on future currency exchange rates, political risk, global economic secular themes, etc--there is really one big reason one should consider foreign markets.

The single biggest reason (except for macro and overvaluation reasons) to consider foreign markets has to do with the composition of your local market. For most countries, certain industries or sectors may

Provisions related to out-of-network care were included in federal parity due to concerns that plans would restrict access to mental health providers by establishing networks that did not include providers with appropriate clinical training or accessible and valid contact information, making it difficult for patients to access services in-network \[[@CR2], [@CR3]\] or that plans would use limits on the out-of-network benefit to discourage potentially high cost patients from choosing their plan. Financial burden was also a concern. Out-of-network providers often balance bill patients, charging patients the difference between provider list price and insurer reimbursement \[[@CR4]\].

Yet, in one study of the effects of a state parity law in Oregon, only 4--9% of mental health patients initiated treatment with a psychiatrist \[[@CR14]\], indicating changes in psychiatrists' participation in networks may have limited effects on out-of-network utilization overall, since such a high proportion of patients see other provider types. As suggested above, plans may have increased the number of non-psychiatrist mental health providers in networks in response to parity implementation.

Note the alternating signs in the ‘scattering’ terms in these equations. These arise because of the fact that every other ‘corner’ in an envelope is actually an exchange with an antiparticle. The two envelopes naturally partition the states into two

Entwined Pairs and Diffusive Scaling
====================================

Symmetric binary random walks have a well-known scaling that allows a description in the continuum limit. This scaling is termed diffusive scaling and corresponds to $$(\delta )^{2}/(2\epsilon )\,\rightarrow D\qquad \mathrm{{as}\qquad }\epsilon
\rightarrow 0  \label{limit}$$where $D>0$ is a diffusion constant. The reason that this scaling ‘works’ is simply because the *mean-square* end-to-end length of a symmetric binary random walk increases as the number of steps $n$, so (\[limit\]) is the natural scaling for such walks.

In the Entwined pair model above, if we choose $\alpha $ and $\beta $ to be asymptotically $1/2$ then the underlying envelopes are asymptotically symmetric binaryare the usual Pauli matrices, $\sigma
_{q}$ is $-i\,\sigma _{y}$ and $I$ is the $2\times 2$ identity matrix. Keeping only the lowest order terms this is $$\begin{aligned}
\left(
\begin{array}{cc}
\beta E_z^+ & -\alpha E_z^- \\
\alpha E_z^+ & \beta  E_z^-\end{array}
\right)  &=&\frac{1}{2}(I+\sigma _{q})+\frac{1}{2}(\sigma _{z}+\sigma
_{x})\delta \frac{\partial }{\partial z}+\ldots   \nonumber \\
&+&\frac{1}{2}(I+\sigma _{q})(\delta ^{2}\frac{\partial ^{2}}{\partial {z}^{2}})-\frac{1}{2}(I-\sigma _{q})v(z)\epsilon   \label{expand} \\
&&  \nonumber\end{aligned}$$The term in (\[expand\]) that is independent of both $\delta $ and $\epsilon $ is an unnormalized finite rotation. If we are going to match solutions of the difference equation to that of a differential equation we must correct the normalization and the finite rotation. To correct the normalization we write $\Phi (z,t)=(\sqrt{2})^{t/\epsilon }\Phi ^{\prime
}(z,t)$, and to avoid the finite rotation we note that $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(I+\sigma _{q}))^{8}=I$. As long as

µm) is decreased in size according to milling time and it was decreased 781.4 ± 31.2 nm after two hours and 713.0 ± 25.3 nm after four hours, respectively. However, after some time, size was not decreased anymore. Therefore, for manufacturing small dispersion system, it was judged that 4 h milling time was the best condition. Each SPAN and PDI value of nanosuspension manufactured through 4 h milling was 1.31 and 0.24, showing comparatively narrow size distribution and zeta potential was −19.0 ± 1.9 mV, showing its appropriateness as suspension ([Table 1](#pharmaceutics-10-00140-t001){ref-type="table"}). It is known that a suspension keeps its stable state when its zeta potential is over 10 mV in absolute value \[[@B48-pharmaceutics-10-00140]\].

After reconstitution, checking particle size, SPAN, PDI, RDI, and zeta potential of the nanosuspension, redispersibilitybe dispersed well on reconstitution with aqueous solution, resulting nanosuspension with a slightly larger mean particle size than the milled nanosuspension before spray-drying process. The slight increase in the mean particle of dispersed system size may be elucidated by the formation of larger particles due to coalescence or aggregation during the spray-drying process as reported in the previous study \[[@B35-pharmaceutics-10-00140]\]. Our data show that the RDS can be efficiently reformed into nanosuspension upon reconstitution without any change of characteristics such as particle size, distribution, RDI, and zeta potential.

### 3.2.2. Solid-State Characterization {#sec3dot2dot2-pharmaceutics-10-00140}

Internal structures of the solid could be changed by high energy and heat during the milling and spray-drying processes, causing problems in quality of pharmaceutical products \[[@B51-pharmaceutics-10-00140]\]. Microscopy, DSC, and PXRD technique are frequently applied for internal


peaks of CXB were clearly observed in the physical mixture and RDS. Unlike DSC analysis, the specific peaks representing CXB in X-ray diffractograms were almost identical in both physical mixture and RDS. Taken together, it is indicated that internal structure is not likely changed by milling, spray-drying, or Tween 80 used to manufacture nanosuspension and RDS, and the CXB's crystallinity is consistently maintained.

### 3.2.3. Physical Stability {#sec3dot2dot3-pharmaceutics-10-00140}

In spite of various advantages of nanosuspension, it is known that there are problems of physical unstability such as aggregation, sedimentation, and phase separation due to dramatic increases in surface and Brownian motion \[[@B10-pharmaceutics-10-00140],[@B60-pharmaceutics-10-00140]\]. Therefore, nanosuspension should be tested for stability during its storage period. In this study, the respective stability of nanosuspension and RDS was checked during 12 weeks ([Figure 5](#pharmaceutics-10-00140-f005){ref-type="fig"}± 2.5 mV (12 weeks), respectively, maintaining almost identical values. The RDI value is about 106−108%, which means that the redispersibility of the RDS is very good. These results obviously show that the RDS containing CXB can be reformed into initial nanosuspension upon reconstitution without any change of unstability index during storage.

3.3. Dissolution Study {#sec3dot3-pharmaceutics-10-00140}
----------------------

The profiles of CXB dissolved from CXB powder, nanosuspension, RDS, and marketed product were shown in [Figure 6](#pharmaceutics-10-00140-f006){ref-type="fig"}. The dissolution profiles were found to be similar at pH 1.2 and pH 6.8. The aqueous solubility of CXB powder is very low about 3--7 μg/mL when analyzed in vitro \[[@B61-pharmaceutics-10-00140]\]. Considering the pKa of CXB (i.e., 11.1), CXB solubility is not likely to vary from pH 1.2--8.0, corresponding to the in vivo range in the
