Maximal block in high concentrations of meperidine reached 83% for delayed rectifier K+ channels and 100% for all other channels. Meperidine blocks the Na+ channel in the same concentration range as the local anesthetic agent lidocaine (half-maximal inhibiting concentration, 172 microM) but did not compete for the same binding site as evaluated by competition experiments. Low concentrations of meperidine (1 nM to 1 microM) showed no effects on Na+ channels. The blockade of Na+ and delayed rectifier K+ channels could not be antagonized by the addition of naloxone. It is concluded that meperidine has a nonselective inhibitory action on Na+ and K+ channels of

Net neutrality means that "internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favouring or blocking particular products or websites".

The California-based company, which along with other internet companies and academia, had been called by the panel on net neutrality to its gives inputs on the matter.

It has been a frantic week for Apple, Google and Microsoft as they have tried to deal with a serious CPU vulnerability in modern processors from Intel, ARM and AMD. The security issue, which could allow for system memory to be read which could give access to passwords and other sensitive information. The significance of this issue is that it requires an OS level update to fix.

For Google and Chrome OS, the fix is already out. The Chrome 63 train for Chrome OS was released on December 15th and part of that update was fixing this issue. The issue does not impact Chrome OS devices running ARM processors. This is good news as it means a wide swatch of Chromebooks are already protected.waived.
On February 17, 1967, respondent Superior Court of Trinity County granted the father an interlocutory judgment of divorce against the mother. The terms of the interlocutory judgment and a property settlement and separation agreement entered into by the parties provided that the mother would have custody of the parties' three children, Jeffrey E. Schlumpf, born March 25, 1962, Zachrey D. Schlumpf, born December 27, 1963, and Tonya K. Schlumpf, born October 11, 1965, such custody to be subject to the father's reasonable rights of visitation. On October 2, 1967, a final judgment of divorce was entered incorporating the terms of the interlocutory judgment.
The next year, in September 1968, respondent court issued an order modifying the interlocutory and final decrees of divorce, holding that there had been no prior


made as an alternative to the father's request that the court hear the matter.
The court found that the father had lived in Wyoming for the past five years and that the children had lived with the father since 1968. One partial exception was daughter Tonya, who had resided with the mother from July 1975 to May 1976. The court noted that Wyoming is the children's home state under the Act and would therefore seem to have a closer connection with the children and one of the contestants. The court observed that the emotional well-being and education of the children as they relate to the father and his present wife can be determined in either state. The physical suitability of the father's home is not questioned by the mother.to determine the custody of the child, and (ii) it is in the best interest of the child that this court assume jurisdiction.
"(2) Except under paragraphs (c) and (d) of subdivision (1), physical presence in this state of the child, or of the child and one of the contestants, is not alone sufficient to confer jurisdiction on a court of this state to make a child custody determination.
"(3) Physical presence of the child, while desirable, is not a prerequisite for jurisdiction to determine his custody."

[5]  Our resolution of this issue makes it unnecessary to consider the mother's contention that the father waived objection to jurisdiction by failing to raise that objection prior to making an appearance in the matter.
[6]  Civil Code section 5156 provides: "(1) A court which has jurisdiction under this title to make an initial or modification decree may decline to exercise its jurisdiction any time before making a decree if it finds that it is an inconvenient forum to make a custody determination under the circumstances of the case and that a court of another state is a more appropriate forum.

"(2) A finding of inconvenient forum may be made upon the court's own motion or upon motion of a partyof child custody which have in the past resulted in the shifting of children from state to state with harmful effects on their well-being.
"(b) Promote cooperation with the courts of other states to the end that a custody decree is rendered in that state which can best decide the case in the interest of the child.
"(c) Assure that litigation concerning the custody of a child take place ordinarily in the state with which the child and his family have the closest connection and where significant evidence concerning his care, protection, training, and personal relationships is most readily available, and that courts of this state decline the exercise of jurisdiction when the child and his family have a closer connection with another state.

power at high frequencies due to fluid limitations of hydraulic flow in and out of the hydraulic cylinders. At very high hydraulic velocities, the hydraulic fluid is subject to cavitation effects when reversing directions that limits the amplitude of the movement of the reaction mass and thus the energy input in to the earth. At low frequencies it is difficult for the hydraulic vibe to have enough travel to generate a low frequency wave into the ground. For example, consider how one would generate a one Hz wave with a hydraulic vibe. A very long throw of the reaction mass is needed to generate that wavelet because the mass has to be moving down and up the full one second.       for(int i=0;i<listaBatallas.size();i++){

  Q:

Why is a "user breakpoint" called when I run my project with imported .lib, not when code is inline?

The Situation
I am writing a wrapper library for GPIB communications for setting up specific instruments according to a clients specifications to automate some of their processes. I have to use C++ and the old '98 compiler in VC++ 6.0 running on a Windows NT machine to maintain compatibility with some other devices they use regularly.
I am trying to make a class that combines some GPIB commands into easier to remember functions, while also keeping the capability of directly communicating with the instruments. To that end, I have compiled different parts of my project into different libs and dlls, each dll being a different device that they might want to communicate


When looking for reliable and efficient options to illuminate certain areas of your kitchen or bathroom, under cabinet lighting is one of the best choices that you could make. To help you select the most suitable fixtures to fit your needs, Westside Wholesale has prepared a simple guide that you can follow.

The first factor that you have to pay attention to when selecting under cabinet lighting is the type of such devices such as incandescent, fluorescent and LED types.

Incandescent under cabinet lights are available in different color temperatures and wattages and offer a wide selection of styles that you can choose from. The advantages of this type of lighting include affordable price and easy to replace light bulbs. However, incandescent lights don’t last long and require replacement onceat 37°C. Subsequently, 50 ml MTT (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) solution (2 mg/ml) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was added to each well and incubated for an additional 4 h at 37°C. The medium was then removed, and the cells were incubated with 200 *µ*l DMSO in the dark for 30 min to dissolve the violet crystals. The absorbance was read at 570 nm on an automatic microplate reader (550; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA), with DMSO as a blank control. All assays were performed in multiples of give and repeated at least three times.

Cell apoptosis assessment

Following treatment with hyperoside (0, 2, 10 and 50 *µ*g/ml) for 2 h, the H~2~O~2~ (200 *µ*M)-treated melanocytes were stained with Annexin V-propium iodide (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China), and


study, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Bcl-2/Bax and caspase 3 were measured using RT-qPCR and Western blot analyses, respectively. As shown in [Fig. 4A](#f4-mmr-13-06-4613){ref-type="fig"}, the expression of Bcl-2 was downregulated, and the expression of Bax was upregulated, in the melanocytes exposed to H~2~O~2~. Hyperoside effectively increased the relative mRNA expression levels of Bcl-2 and decreased those of Bax. As shown in [Fig. 4B](#f4-mmr-13-06-4613){ref-type="fig"}, the mRNA expression levels of caspase 3 were enhanced in the melanocytes exposed to H~2~O~2~, whereas hyperoside (2, 10 and 50 *µ*g/ml) led to a dose-dependent reduction in the mRNA expression of caspase 3, by 17.23, 64.78 and 79.23%, respectively. As shown in [Fig. 4C and D](#f4-mmr-13-06-4613){ref-type="fig"}, the relative protein expression levels of Bcl-2/Bax were decreased by H~2~O~2~ treatment, whereas hyperoside treatment effectivelyBair assured depositors that their money was protected by a hefty credit line with the Treasury.

the early days of AIDS panic when the disease was largely unknown. Now, technology exists that can detect HIV within a few weeks of infection.

Last month, an HHS panel that handles blood policy advocated tossing out the lifetime ban—but argued for replacing it with a measure that would keep any sexually active gay man from contributing to the blood supply: a ban on donations from any man who had sex with another man within the past year.

To the Democrats in Congress, that slight improvement isn’t nearly enough. The letter calls both the lifetime ban and the one-year deferral policies “discriminatory” and “unacceptable.” The lawmakers urged an end to the lifetime ban by the “end of 2014,” while also pushing for a less-stringent restriction than the one-year celibacy requirement.

“Theclasses. These ABCs define objects that
allow configuration of TLS to be applied to specific connections. They can be
thought of as factories for TLSWrappedSocket and TLSWrappedBuffer
objects.

Unlike the current ssl module, we provide two context classes instead of
one. Specifically, we provide the ClientContext and ServerContext
classes. This simplifies the APIs (for example, there is no sense in the server
providing the server_hostname parameter to ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket,
but because there is only one context class that parameter is still available),
and ensures that implementations know as early as possible which side of a TLS
connection they will serve. Additionally, it allows implementations to opt-out
of one or either side of the connection. For example, SecureTransport on macOS
is not really intended for server use and has an enormous amount of
functionality missing for server-side use. This would allow SecureTransport
implementations to

Supporting cipher suites in a truly library-agnostic fashion is a remarkably
difficult undertaking. Different TLS implementations often have radically
different APIs for specifying cipher suites, butmore problematically these
APIs frequently differ in capability as well as in style. Some examples are
shown below:

OpenSSL uses a well-known cipher string format. This format has been adopted as
a configuration language by most products that use OpenSSL, including Python.
This format is relatively easy to read, but has a number of downsides: it is
a string, which makes it remarkably easy to provide bad inputs; it lacks much
detailed validation, meaning that it is possible to configure OpenSSL in a way
that doesn't allow it to negotiate any cipher at all; and it allows specifying
cipher suites in a number of different ways that make it tricky to parse. The
biggest problem with this format is that there is no formal specification for
it, meaning that the only way to parse a given string the way


this enumerated type defines two additional flags that can always
be used to request either the lowest or highest TLS version supported by an
implementation.

This module would define four base classes for use with error handling. Unlike
many of the the other classes defined here, these classes are not abstract, as
they have no behaviour. They exist simply to signal certain common behaviours.
Backends should subclass these exceptions in their own packages, but needn't
define any behaviour for them.

In general, concrete implementations should subclass these exceptions rather
than throw them directly. This makes it moderately easier to determine which
concrete TLS implementation is in use during debugging of unexpected errors.
However, this is not mandatory.

The definitions of the errors are below:

class TLSError(Exception):
"""
The base exception for all TLS related errors from any backend.
Catching this error should be sufficientnot
be raised.
"""
class RaggedEOF(TLSError):
"""
A special signaling exception used when a TLS connection has been
closed gracelessly: that is, when a TLS CloseNotify was not received
from the peer before the underlying TCP socket reached EOF. This is a
so-called "ragged EOF".
This exception is not guaranteed to be raised in the face of a ragged
EOF: some implementations may not be able to detect or report the
ragged EOF.
This exception is not always a problem. Ragged EOFs are a concern only
when protocols are vulnerable to length truncation attacks. Any
protocol that can detect length truncation attacks at the application
layer (e.g. HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2) is not vulnerable to this kind of
attack and so can ignore this exception.

This module would define an abstract X509 certificate class. This class would
have almost no behaviour, as the goal of this module

I was able to keep myself busy as a full-time freelancer of sorts, but that inconsistency in pay became frightening. The reality of adulthood and responsibility hit me as I continued to receive upcoming bill payment notifications. I started to regret making birthday plans for myself because that could’ve been a few bills and trips to the grocery store. It was truly a time.

Hitherto, various fluorine-containing polymer compounds are proposed. The fluorine-containing polymer compounds have the advantageous effects of having properties excellent in heat resistance, oxidation resistance, weather resistance and the like. The fluorine-containing polymer compounds are used as, for example, a water- and oil-repellent agent and a soil release agent by utilizing the properties that the fluorine-containing polymer compounds have low free energy, i.e., difficulty in adherence.

Toxoplasmosis is a ubiquitous infection affecting 500 million persons around the world, with a range of incidence 12%-90%, increasing with age, education, crowding and sanitary habits. Cats are the definitive host. Infection is primarily congenital but acquired ocular infection has been documented. The review focuses on the immunopathogenesis of toxoplasmosis with emphasis on the eye problem due to its morbidity. The response to infection correlates with both parasitic and retinal antigens. The clinical picture and histopathology is a reflection of the immune response which constitutes early humeral response which presents both systemically and locally primary infection and is elevated with reactivation. This is followed by the cellular response, varying from low grade monocular infilterate a total tissue destruction with response of live parasites especially in immuno-compromised


and the fitness between the response data and the models. Valid administration means that the testing is appropriately administered to obtain the test score. It includes following the specifications to obtain the response data and the methods to score the responses. The model-data fitness serves as the final and integrative evaluation of meaning validity. In hierarchical order, the three levels address whether the construct is operational, measurable, and realizable with a specific test score.

Useful Levels or Use Validity
-----------------------------

Meaning validity is prerequisite to use validity, as a test score has to be meaningful before it can be useful. If the score meaning is valid, the test score can be used in different ways or for different purposes. When score use depends solely on score meaning, no additional variable orinstruction.

Conventionally, the instrument is the focus during test development. However, it is sensible to document, likely in the test manual, all important elements related to the taxonomy such as the content, population, different structures and methods to obtain different test scores, possible concerns during administration, and possible uses.

Real-Life Examples
==================

To demonstrate the usefulness of the taxonomy, this section provides examples of the definition and validation of construct domains for different testing practices. This information is also summarized in **Table [2](#T2){ref-type="table"}**.

is basic because the certification or licensure decision is based on criteria-driven cutoffs and no other variable is involved. For the validation process, qualitative evidence can be collected, such as expert agreement on the content and items or empirical evidence for the cutoff to support or reject the associated claims.

Intelligence Testing
--------------------

As mentioned above, one instrument can be used for different purposes, and each purpose needs to be individually validated. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC; [@B34], [@B35]) has been widely used as a measure of intelligence. Based on the updated technical documents ([@B36],[@B37]), it appears that the instrument is flexible enough to help define different test scores with specific construct domains for different purposes. The two cases shown in Rows 2 and 3 of **Table [2](#T2){ref-type="table"}** servewhich is prerequisite to the validity of score meaning. On the other hand, test validity serves as a basis of consequence evaluation. It is meaningless to talk about testing consequences before validating the score meaning and use. Meanwhile, the positive or negative consequences of score use are largely value laden, whereas test validity is essentially scientific.

The roles of test developer and user should be separated in test evaluation and development. In general, the test developer is responsible for the validity of score meaning and the intended score use. In contrast, the test user should validate and justify the score use, especially when it is different from the use intended by the developer. Note the difference between the use of test score only (e.g., secondary analysis) and the use

In the propensity score-matched patient group, the VATS approach was associated with a significant benefit regarding OS (P = 0.042). Although no significant difference was observed (P = 0.14) in the 3-year survival rate of patients who had a thoracotomy versus VATS, the 5-year survival rate among patients with VATS increased significantly (61% vs 78%, P = 0.0081).

Bucillamine (BUC) has been found to have beneficial effects in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in which the activation of endothelial cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis. The current studies examined the effect of BUC and its intramolecular disulfide form (BUC-ID) on the expression of adhesion molecules in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). HUVEC (4 x 10(4)/well) were incubated with medium M199 containing heparin and 20% FCS with endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS) for 24 h in the presence or absence of BUC or BUC-ID, after which the culture medium was replaced with ECGS free medium.

That same interview reveals that some of the sound of the baby was created by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Take note: the game focuses more on being an adveturer and the plots and stories revolving around a adventurer's life. that would mean there won't be any quests that will be as lengthy as a campaign itself. So most quests/requests will be expedited within a certain battle or 'rp challenges' to complete quests. There maybe super special quests that can reach the length of a normal campaign (subjugating a tyrant city, or eliminating a lich) but those will be reserved for higher level players or high ranked individuals.

The forward and the reverse electron transfer reactions were studied by the stopped-flow technique and yielded apparent bimolecular rate constants of (3.3 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) and (3.9 +/- 0.1) x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, in 5 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7, containing 20 mM potassium chloride and 25 degrees C. This corresponds to an equilibrium constant Keq of 0.085 in the physiological direction (DeltarG'0 = 6.1 kJ/mol).

The old zodiac signs are so played out—they've been around for hundreds of years, and it's time for something new! Fortunately, Twitter user @g_pratimaaa has come up with a way to determine your new and improved zodiac marker. Simply type "Florida man" and your birthday into Google and whatever comesThis little Nosgoth strategy and tactics guide offers a way to improve at the game quickly enough to enjoy the surprising depth of play at mid and high levels.

Update: Nosgoth is now in Open Beta - if you’re not playing yet then you should! You can start with a free booster using my friend referral link - see you in the game!

As a new player Nosgoth is pretty punishing. I still remember the confusion and slaughter of my very first game and perhaps you still remember yours.

Rather than hand out specific yet somehow unhelpful tips, such as “learn to time the charge duration on your warbow so the shot is ready when you need it”, I’ve chosen to write about a method for improving efficiently. It will help


your first 100-200 hours of play up to level 40; after that you will understand more than enough to choose your own onward path.

The guide is divided into three sections:

Basic advice and skills - aiming, listening, dying Playing to learn - set round goals, flow of play, learn from the masters Mid-level play - class counters, yomi, teamwork

Basic Advice and Skills

This guide assumes you already know the basics of play - what zoom does, how to dodge and so on. There are plenty of other guides that cover those kinds of basics. Instead I want to call out three things about Nosgoth that reward closer attention.

Aiming

Depending on your choice of class Nosgoth can be enjoyed without perfect twitch skills, but being able to aim accurately under duress willteam to win every match, these goals are largely out of your control in a randomly-filled public server.

We are not playing to win, yet. First, we are playing to learn.

Set Round Goals

Spend the time waiting for a match to start contemplating what you want to learn and improve in each round of this match. Pick a goal that is as much in your control as possible. For example, perhaps you are learning to play as a Reaver. Equip Savage Pounce and make your goal to perform four Savage Pounces and escapes in a row without dying.

This has two benefits. Firstly, you can be entirely satisfied and happy at the end of a losing round in which two teammates rage quit because you had the opportunity to work on


of Camouflage vs just standing in a bush or dark doorway, about timing my draw, about vampire psychology and the right moment to choose a new spot (protip: in an extended fight, roughly 15 seconds after my first kill a vengeful respawned vampire will come to the spot I killed them from. A different flow includes “Find a spot overlooking the first one and kill them again for bonus points”).

You won’t use the same flow forever, only until you feel you have mastered it. New ideas and adjustments will come all the time and it’s good to try these out! Just remember to separate how well you played from how well-suited your flow was to this match when looking at the results. Understanding this difference is the first+ 16*h**2 + 15*h + 11.

Prior to the character creation session, Joe provided the initial constraint: Jaron, Matt, and I were all going to play siblings in a large family (8 or so children). And our grandfather was a powerful sorcerer, long since gone. Our parents were simple farmers, mother died years ago and father disappeared around that time.

While we were waiting for everyone to assemble, I suggested that we needed more of a theme. And I suggested, somewhat jokingly, that the characters should be a butcher, baker, and a candlestick maker. The idea took hold.

In this systematic review, we idendified studies from 16 states of India. The eastern part of the country had higher prevalence of depression (48%) compared to all other regions. One possible explanation for this finding may be that all the five studies included from the East and North-East zone had used GDS tool which has higher sensitivity \[[@CR88]\]. EAG states and Assam lag behind in the demographic transition and have constituted about 46% of India's population \[[@CR89]\].

This underscores the need for more research and data on disease burden for effective planning and policymaking in EAG states. Further variable prevalence from different states emphasize on state specific efforts to address thissignificantly increased in testes of mice injected with CdCl(2). GRP78, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone, and CHOP, a downstream target of the PERK pathway, were upregulated in testes of Cd-treated mice. In addition, acute Cd exposure significantly increased testicular eIF2α and JNK phosphorylation, indicating that the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway was activated by CdCl(2). Interestingly, melatonin almost completely inhibited Cd-induced ER stress and the UPR in testes. In addition, melatonin obviously attenuated Cd-induced heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression and protein nitration in testes. Taken together, these results suggest that melatonin alleviates Cd-induced cellular stress and germ cell apoptosis in testes. Melatonin may be useful as pharmacological agents to protect against Cd-induced testicular toxicity.


of the power tool.
A conventional operator detection system for a power tool is generally comprised of three primary subsystems: a detection subsystem, a control subsystem and a reaction subsystem. The detection subsystem or sensing mechanism tracks the proximity of the operator in relation to the active portion of the power tool. The control subsystem determines the appropriate response to input received from the detection subsystem. Lastly, the reaction system or safety mechanism may initiate a protective operation, if applicable, that prevents and/or reduces potentially injurious contact between the operator and the active portion of the power tool. Each of these subsystems are further described below.
Detection subsystems operatively determine the location of the operator's body to the active portion of the power tool. Three known types of detection meansoperator to the active portion of the power tool. In one known approach, an electrical signal is transmitted through the active portion of the power tool. A receiver is coupled to the operator's body to receive the signal. When the active portion of the power tool is brought in close proximity to the receiver, the received signal is increased. As the intensity of the received signal increases, the control system determines if the signal intensity exceeds some predetermined threshold level. If so, the control subsystem may initiate some protective operation to prevent and/or reduce operator injury.
Third, contact detection subsystems generally employ various capacitive sensing techniques to determine when the operator physically touches the active portion of the power tool. In one known approach, an electrical signal is transmitted

The cytochrome P450-dependent arachidonic acid metabolite 11,12-epoxyecosatrienoic acid (0.3-3.0 microM) had no relaxant effect per se. In conclusion, EDHF and NO are both mediators of endothelium-dependent relaxations in the guinea pig basilar artery. However, during grave hypoxia, EDHF alone mediates acetylcholine-induced relaxation. The results further suggest that EDHF is not a metabolite of arachidonic acid formed by cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase or generated by another oxygen-dependent enzyme in this artery.government, create uncertainty for our economy, and impose untold impacts on both Washington state and the country.

### BCS mean-field theory (MFT)

Most of the properties of this model can be understood within BCS mean-field theory.[@degennes; @tinkham; @bcs-long] Here, in order to obtain quantitative results and to set the stage for the treatment of disorder, we explicitly take into account the lattice densities of states and Hartree corrections.

The quartic interaction is decoupled in terms of a uniform pairing potential $\Delta=U\mean{\cccc_{i\dn} \cccc_{i\up}}$ and a Hartree chemical potential $\mu^H = U \mean{n}$. Up to a constant, [^6] $$\begin{aligned}
    H_\text{MF}
    &=
    -   \sum_{ij\sigma} t_{ij} \cdag_{i\sigma}


\\ \gamma^\dag_{-\kkk\dn} }
    \end{aligned}$$ where $u_\kkk = \cos \theta_\kkk$, $v_\kkk = \sin \theta_\kkk$, $E_{\kkk}=\sqrt{\xi_\kkk{}^2 + \Delta^2}$, and $\tan 2\theta_\kkk =  \frac{\Delta}{E_\kkk}$. The Hamiltonian is bilinear in the bogolon operators: $$\begin{aligned}
    H_\text{MF}
    &=\sum_{\kkk}
        \pmat{\gamma^\dag_{\kkk\up} & \gamma_{-\kkk\dn} }
        \pmat{E_\kkk & 0 \\ 0 & -E_\kkk}
        \pmat{\gamma_{\kkk\up} \\ \gamma^\dag_{-\kkk\dn} }
    =\sum_{\kkk\sigma}
        E_{\kkk} \gamma^\dag_{\kkk\sigma} \gamma_{\kkk\sigma}
    \end{aligned}$$ (up to a constant). Therefore, expectations of bogolon operators are simply Fermi occupation factors: $   \mean{\gamma^\dag_{\kkk\sigma} \gamma_{\kkk\sigma}}
 \end{aligned}$$ Figure \[ghosal-everything\] shows the number density, pairing amplitude, and density of states from BdG calculations on $36\times 36$ lattices at various disorder strengths. At weak disorder, the number density and pairing amplitude are uniform, and the density of states has coherence peaks. At strong disorder, most sites are empty ($n_i=0$) or doubly occupied ($n_i=2$) due to the on-site attraction. However, there are still locally superconducting puddles with intermediate occupation numbers $n_i$ and finite pairing amplitudes $\Delta_i$. In fact, the sites with the smallest values of $\Delta_i$ tend to be the ones with the largest values of the local spectral gap $E_g$.

The BdG calculation shows that the spectral gap persists at all disorder strengths, and the size of the gap is approximately in agreement with the prediction from PoEE


at a temperature $T^\ast(V)>T_c(V)$. Thus, for $T_c < T < T^*$, there is a pseudogap (PG): the density of states at the Fermi level, $N(0)$, is suppressed relative to its normal-state value. This is a separation between the temperatures for pairing and long-range phase coherence occurring even in a weak coupling superconductor, this time produced by the combined effects of interaction and disorder. Figures \[schematicVTphasediagram\] and \[schematicVTdependence3D\] illustrate this picture. Although the simulations in this section were performed at finite interaction $U$, it can be argued [@ghosal2001] that the conclusions remain valid in the limit of infinitesimal interaction (Fig. \[schematicUdependence\]).

Summary
-------

The results of this section are summarized below:

-   The pairing-of-exact-eigenstates (PoEE) approximation finds that the single-particle gap remains finite for all values of disorder, but fails to describe the\Omega_\alpha}$.

Now consider the pairing bubble diagram corresponding to the creation of two fermions in eigenmodes $\alpha$ and $\beta$, as shown in Fig. \[pairingBubble\]: $$\begin{aligned}

    \quad\text{(for $0<\tau<\beta$)}
    .

Variational BdG Formalism
=========================

In this appendix we describe a variational mean-field treatment of the Hubbard model. This is the only way to decouple the Hubbard interaction in multiple channels without overcounting it.

Variational Method in Statistical Mechanics
-------------------------------------------

For a system described by Hamiltonian $\hat{H}$ at temperature $T=1/\beta$, the partition function is $$\begin{aligned}
    Z &= \Tr e^{-\beta\hat{H}}.


is convenient to adopt a $4N\times 4N$ version of the Nambu-Gor’kov matrix formalism and write the Hubbard Hamiltonian as $$\begin{aligned}
    \hat{H}_\text{true}
    &=
    -   \underbrace{
                \sum_{ijs} \half  t_{ij} \eta_{6ss'} \cdag_{is} \cccc_{js}
        }_{\hat{t}}
    -   \underbrace{
            \sum_{ilss'} \half  \Sigma^a_{il} \eta_{lss'} \cdag_{is} \cccc_{is'}
        }_{\hat{\Sigma}^a}
    +   \underbrace{
            \sum_{i} U_i x_{i\up} x_{i\dn}
        \end{aligned}$$ In , there are six densities at every site: $(m_X, m_Y, m_Z)$ are the three components of magnetization, $(F_R, F_I)$ are the real and imaginary parts of the anomalous Green function, and $x$ is the average density per spin species measured with respect to half-filling. Each of these quantities lies in the interval $[-\half,+\half]$. Explicitly, $$\begin{aligned}
    G_1 = m_X = \half\mean{\bar\psi_\up \psi_\dn + \bar\psi_\dn \psi_\up}           \quad
    G_2 = m_Y = \tfrac{1}{2i} \mean{\bar\psi_\up \psi_\dn - \bar\psi_\dn \psi_\up} \quad
    G_3 = m_Z = \half(x_\up - x_\dn)        ,\nonumber\\
    G_4 = F_R = \half \mean{\psi_\dn \psi_\up + \bar\psi_\up \bar\psi_\dn}


136A and therefore its components (including the ball 134A) must maintain their mechanical integrity when exposed to such pressures in order to maintain the isolation of the production conduit 106 to ensure that the fracturing operation is focused on the intended zone.
After ZONE 1 has been fractured (i.e., fractures 136A have been formed), plug 100B is conveyed into the production conduit 106 on the conveying apparatus 102 to a desired location between the surface and the fractures 136A (step 150E). The process of plugging, perforating, and fracturing is then repeated to isolate and fracture each zone, moving in an uphole direction. When all of the zones have been fractured, the plugs must be milled or drilled out to enable hydrocarbons to flow to the surface of the wellthrough the production conduit. While FIG. 1 illustrates a vertical portion of a well, hydraulic fracturing is often employed in horizontal portions of a well. It is not uncommon for a particular well, especially a horizontal well, to have 30-40 zones in which hydraulic fracturing is performed. Therefore, milling or drilling the numerous plugs can be a time-consuming and expensive operation. As such, there have been efforts to develop hydraulic fracturing techniques that avoid this requirement.
The first such technique employs sliding sleeve devices 200 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The sliding sleeve technique differs from the plug and perf technique in that the sliding sleeve devices 200 are integrated with the production conduit 106. For example, each sliding sleeve device 200 may be threaded to a string of

One clear example of this laser-sharp focus came with the surprise announcement of Project FN, Java Function, which is Oracle’s serverless implementation and attempt to get into the AWS Lambda market. Project FN is also open source. I spoke to the lead developer, Travis Reeder (Github Profile), downstairs in the exchange exhibition. “Think about serverless as a more granular layer below microservices. It is seamless and flawless integration into cloud machinery, you can think of it as a dynamic remote thread pool, if you want to.” You can read more about Project FN and its goals here.

“The Weather Channel had the opportunity to pull these two individuals off the road or hire a competent, law abiding driver,” the lawsuit states. “Instead, The Weather Channel made Williamson and Yarnall television stars, breaking laws, driving on private property, driving off road, in ditches, through hail storms, driving the wrong way on freeway ramps, on the wrong side of the roadway, through red lights and stop signs, all to increase the sense of danger to their television audience and sell advertisingsighted in Dickens County around the same time as the collision, and that he believed all three men were after the same one. The lawsuit says it appears Jaeger was driving away from the storm, while Williamson and Yarnall were charging right toward it, allegedly at 70 mph.

In the final moments of the video, Williamson and Yarnall approach the intersection at a high speed, breezing past a warning for a stop sign as rain pelts the windshield. They get closer to the intersection, but they don’t slow down. Instead, the engine roars louder.

My use case was to capture desktop screen which seems to be done only using GetFrontBufferData() via directX. GetBackBuffer()/GetRenderTargetData() is not the correct API to call for this case. Reference: The desktop capture with DirectX does not work and How to get the screenshot of the desktop from back buffer with DirectX.
However, any suggestions to a faster method for capturing desktop screen or optimizing the GDI way are welcome.

Did you render anything before taking the screenshot?

GetFrontBufferData - this function get the data of the screen
GetRenderTargetData - this function get the data from render target

An abdominal approach to rectovaginal and colovaginal fistula repair is considered if there is underlying colon pathology that needs to be addressed, if a diverting stoma is needed, or if the fistula is too high to reach vaginally for adequate exposure. The most likely scenario of a high colovaginal fistula is in an older patient with prior diverticular disease. These fistulas can often be visualized on pelvic examination in the left apex of the vagina, and symptoms include the passing of flatus or fecal material through the vagina.

THE despised humans. She would have found Draconas. He was carried out of the ruins right under her nose and she never noticed.

Anora made the mistake of searching for Draconas in the human form he was most fond of adopting—that of a human male of undetermined years, strong and lean, with long black hair and dark eyes. It never occurred to either her or Grald that, as Draconas saw death crackling before him, he would use his last fleeing seconds to do two things: first, as Anora had postulated, Draconas cast a defensive spell that acted as a shield, causing Anora's magic to bounce off him like a thrown spear bounces off steel. Second, as the lightning flared and sizzled around him, Draconas shifted form, choosing an illusionfor his heart . . .

Draconas dropped the spoon in the bowl, splashing hot broth all over the table and startling everyone.

"Draca?" asked Rosa anxiously. "What's wrong? Are you ill?"

Draconas looked up to find the monk's sane eyes fixed on him.

"Nothing is wrong, Rosa," said Draconas, after a pause. "I'm sorry. I'll clean up the mess I made."

The irony of the words struck him. All along, it was what he'd been trying to do. Clean up the mess.

He left the table to get a cloth. He could not help Ven. He could not save him. Melisande's son would have to save himself.

Or rather, Melisande's sons. Perhaps he could do something, after all.

Demurely, keeping his eyes lowered, Draconas went back to the table and began mopping up the spill.

The cry was every man for himself, and every man made a dash for it, pushing and shoving and sometimes knifing his fellows in order to clear a path that would save him from the terror swooping down on him. The sight of "demon" warriors had unnerved them. The sight of the dragon unmanned them.

Family Companies may Impact on Eligibility Tests for the Centrelink Age Pension

Later in your life the government provides age pension to ensure that elderly people have a minimum level of income to meet their retirement living expenses. To be eligible for an age pension you have to pass three tests. Age-test eligibility for the age pension is satisfied if you are a resident of Australia and have reached 65 years. In order to determine how much benefit you are entitled to receive the assets and income tests are used. The test that provides the lowest pension entitlement applies.

Impacts on Age Pension

The income test compares your level of ordinary income with the income threshold and determines whether you are eligible for age pension. Ordinary income includes employment income, rentalprivate trust it may affect your eligibility for the age pension. The value of the shares is included in determining the eligibility under the assets test and any dividends you may receive – under the income test. Moreover, if you have a certain level of control in a private company or trust, the income and assets of that company or a trust may be attributed to you reducing your eligibility for age pension.

The medieval legends had lived on after the gradual extinction of the poetry of chivalry, in the form partly of rhyming adaptations and collections, and partly of novels in prose. The latter was the case in Italy during the fourteenth century; but the newly awakened memories of antiquity were rapidly growing up to a gigantic size, and soon cast into the shade all the fantastic creations of the Middle Ages. Boccaccio, for example, in his _Amorosa visione_ , names among the heroesconduct of his subjects, this system must have been very highly developed.

Identifying 'good' photographs

I use deep learning to try identify which pictures I’ve taken are good (using a loosely defined version of ‘good’). The resultant convolutional neural network (CNN) performs well (0.81 AUC), helped me identify some of my own biases, and seems like a fairly interesting start for more analysis.

Overview

Applying deep learning to image recognition is not new; more recently though, deep learning has been used to rate image aesthetics (e.g., Lu) and very recently, there’s been an uptick in using deep learning algorithms to replace photographers (e.g., Fang and Arsenal[1]). I attempted something similar, albeit hugely simplified myself, largely as a deep learning exercise that was more interesting than tweaking the architecture of existing CIFAR-10 recognition CNNs.

Around 576,00 Daily Mail readers voted Liberal Democrat in 2010, a number only topped by the 796,000 or so Sun readers who voted Liberal Democrat. That Daily Mail figure is more than the equivalent figures for The Guardian and The Independent put together.

This matched up with the pattern found in 2009.

But that was 2010 and that was print readership. What about 2015 and overall readership, including online?

Here is what Liberal Democrat votes in 2015 were reading:*

The Guardian: 745,000

The Independent / i: 629,000

Daily Mail: 605,000

The Times: 501,000

The Telegraph:above (and previous general elections). There is much of a ‘Lib Dem cliche’ of Guardian and Independent voters. The big online successes of both are part of the story. As is The Sun having such a low relative online readership due to its (disappearing) paywall.

Yet it still leaves the combined Mail, Sun and Express total at just under 90% of the Guardian and Independent total. So as a rough rule of thumb, you can say that for every Lib Dem voter who is a reader of these latter two, there is nearly one other is a reader of the former trio.**

Or, if you are a Liberal Democrat campaigner and want to understand the world view of a large proportion of Liberal Democrat voters (let alone the wider electorate),


"Where are the Business Lobbyists?" White writes that many "deep-pocketed business lobbyists" in DC are "boiling with rage," over the tax showdown, but:

One of the top lobbyists in D.C. explains: "A very senior leadership aide told me this is a member to member matter now and all about caucus politics and positioning and no degree or measure of lobbying from outside interests will influence the outcome. We are spectators at a dysfunctional and buffoonic clown show."

DISCUSSION {#s3}
==========

In this study, we assessed the liver protective effects of DA *in vivo* in a BDL cholestatic mouse model and *in vitro* in human LX-2 cells. DA treatment attenuated liver damage in the BDL model as demonstrated by 1) improved mouse liver function and histology and reduced liver bile infarction, necrosis and fibrosis (Figure [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}&3); 2) enhanced liver adaptive response to BDL by up-regulating Mrp3 expression (Figure [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}); and 3) reduced liver hydroxyproline content and fibrotic markers (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}&6). Moreover, the reduced liver fibrogenesis upon DA treatment was further confirmed in human LX-2 cells (Figure [7](#F7){ref-type="fig"}).

BDL-induced cholestasis results in the loss of bile excretory function and toxic bile accumulation, leading to injury of the liver parenchyma \[[@R30]\]. However, adaptive response mechanisms can compensate for the extent


inhalation and were fixed on an animal operating table with a heating pad. After midline laparotomy, the common bile duct was isolated from the surrounding tissue and dissected between two ligature knots with 8-0 nylon suture. Sham mice underwent the same procedure, including the mobilization of the bile duct, but without dissection and ligation. Mice were placed on a heating pad while recovering from the anesthesia \[[@R22]\]. Serum and liver tissue were collected from the BDL and sham mice and stored at −80°C.

I don’t think people realize but there is a larger Israeli community living on the west coast than the east coast. Additionally almost every Israeli touring the US has a stop in Las Vegas so why not just start there?

LV is a four hour drive to LA. Being from LA I would rather drive to take the non stop to TLV from LV than take a short haul flight from LA to LV first.
Chicago and the rest of the Midwest might have sizable orthodox communities but pare very insignificant to the Israeli expats, businessmen, and tourists of the west coast

When is elal phasing the 747 out ofTotal is what slows things down here and I was wondering if there is a way to replace Total with something faster.
Any clues?

A:

I suspect that your arrays a1 and a2 are not packed, which would case a considerable slow-down.
Observe:
f[x_] := Total[a1/(a2 + x), -1]

n = Ceiling @ Sqrt @ 2000;

a1 = RandomReal[{-99, 99}, {n, n}];
a2 = RandomReal[{-99, 99}, {n, n}];

Developer`PackedArrayQ /@ {a1, a2}

{True, True}

Table[f[i], {i, 1, 50000}] // AbsoluteTiming // First

1.0296018

{a1, a2} = Developer`FromPackedArray /@ {a1, a2};

Table[f[i], {i, 1, 50000}] // AbsoluteTiming // First
