Introduction {#Sec1}
============

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases are characterized by the aggregation and accumulation of misfolded scrapie prion protein (PrP^Sc^) in brain tissue. They can occur spontaneously (sporadic) but also be due to familial and iatrogenic causes. Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is the most common prion disease in human, followed by genetic CJD (gCJD) and iatrogenic CJD (iCJD). Different molecular sCJD subtypes, which show unique clinicopathological phenotypes and transmission characteristics \[[@CR1]\] and depend on the codon 129 genotype of the prion protein gene (*PRNP*) as well as the type of PrP^Sc^, have been reported \[[@CR2], [@CR3]\].

The adaptation of in vitro amplification systems for the detection of PrP^Sc^ in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was an innovation for the pre-mortem diagnosis. RT-QuIC analysis uses recombinant prion protein (recPrP) as aresponse were examined.

Materials and Methods {#Sec2}
=====================

Patients {#Sec3}
--------

CSF samples were collected through routine activities of the German National Prion Disease Surveillance Center associated with the University Medical Center Göttingen. Samples were derived from 110 prion disease patients, consisting of 64 sCJD, 39 gCJD (33 E200K, 6 V210I mutation carriers) and 7 FFI (D178N mutation), as well as 400 control patients. Initial data on the cohort have been published elsewhere \[[@CR7]\]. The data were used to calculate the sensitivity and specificity. All prion disease cases were neuropathologically confirmed.

The 200 retrospectively tested control patients represent those with either a clinically or pathologically defined alternative diagnosis (92 female, 108 male; aged 16--87 years; mean age 64.1 ± 0.9 years at notification). This control group consisted of AD patients (rapid progressive and classical forms), patients with depression,


at least personal data.

RT-QuIC Analysis {#Sec6}
----------------

The RT-QuIC was performed as described previously \[[@CR7]\]. Briefly, 85 μL of reaction buffer were seeded with 15 μL of freshly thawed and neat CSF to a final volume of 100 μL, with each CSF sample generally run in triplicate. Prepared plates were sealed (VWR, Hannover, Germany) and incubated in a plate reader (FLUOStar OPTIMA, BMG Labtech, Ortenberg, Germany) at 42 °C for 80 h with intermittent shaking cycles, consisting of 1 min double orbital shaking at 600 rpm followed by a 1-min break. Beta-sheet formation kinetic was determined by measuring the thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescent signal (450 nm excitation and 480 nm emission) every 30 min in relative fluorescence units (rfu). When we obtained more than 50 % positive replicates (signal ≥10,000 rfu after 80 h), the sample was considered as positive. Controls were consideredas a seeding response of more than 10,000 rfu (cut-off) in 80 h (3/3 = 100 %, 2/3 = 66 %, 1/3 = 33 % and 0/3 = 0 %), which is important for CJD diagnostic. Our data indicated that the PrP^Sc^ seed in the RT-QuIC reaction remained stable under the analysed short- and long-term storage conditions and was resistant to up to 16 repeated freezing and thawing cycles (Fig. [2a--d](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}). Under short-term storage conditions, the temperature had no significant influence on the number of positive replicates.Fig. 2Effect of various storage conditions on the RT-QuIC signal response. RT-QuIC reactions seeded with CSF from sCJD patients were analysed under short-term storage conditions (8 days) at room temperature (RT) and 4 °C (**a**, **b**), after 16 repeated freezing and thawing cycles (**c**) and after long-term storage (up to 9 years) (**d**). There was no significant trend for decreasing


below 1250 cells/μL are tolerable for diagnostics because they did not show any significant impact on the number of positive replicates and the intensity of the RT-QuIC signal (Fig. [4a, c](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}). CSF from non-prion controls, spiked with blood always revealed a negative RT-QuIC seeding response (data not shown).

Subsequently, we simulated the impact of transportation on blood contaminated samples by spiking CSF samples from sCJD (*n* = 8) and control samples (*n* = 8) with a defined amount of blood cells (5000 cells/μL) from control patients. After 0, 1, 3 and 8 days, we centrifuged the samples to remove the blood cells. The haemolysis and release of inhibitory proteins, which influence the number of positive replicates and the intensity of the RT-QuIC signal significantly, started after 3 days resulting in a false-negative RT-QuIC seeding response inas an orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) via the left-sided AP with both antegrade and retrograde decremental conduction properties. Using transseptal and retrograde transaortic approaches, a total of 25 endocardial RF applications targeting the earliest DP1 or DP2 were performed both above and beneath the mitral valve along the lateral through posterolateral MA, but failed to eliminate both the AP conduction and AVRT. Each application of RF energy using a 4-mm-tip ablation catheter (Celsius, Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, USA) was delivered for a maximum duration of 90 seconds (\<30 seconds at most locations) with a power of up to 50W. Mapping was then performed in the CS using the earliest atrial activation during constant ventricular pacing. Within just 6 seconds after commencing the initial RF application within the


result in the elimination of the LV-LA conduction via the AP. Therefore, this assumption contradicts the findings in this case.

This CSM-associated AP had some more notable characteristics unlike the previously reported left-sided APs with Mahaim-like conduction properties. First, most of the APs in the previous reports exhibited only antegrade conduction and an antidromic AVRT was induced. \[[@bb0015], [@bb0020], [@bb0025], [@bb0030]\] In contrast, the AP in this case exhibited not only antegrade but also retrograde conduction and an orthodromic AVRT was induced. Second, an intravenous adenosine administration did not induce conduction block of the AP in this case, while Mahaim-like APs are known to be usually sensitive to adenosine. Third, the CSM lies on the epicardium by nature, thus all endocardial RF applications failed to eliminate this CSM-associated APand CS8 on the posterior MA. D: Schematic representation of the retrograde AP conduction pattern conceivable in this case. The AP connected the LV with the LA via the CSM; therefore, DP1-DP2 block, indicating conduction block between the CSM and LA, resulted in the elimination of the VA conduction. The postulated course of the retrograde AP conduction is shown (inset). The gray double lines indicate conduction block by ablation.

My approach was simply to generate guesses compatible with results of previous guesses.

The problem is that I didn't find guarantied way to find this compatible
guess in time. So I was looking for guess with as small error as
possible.

The error I've used = sum(guesses, 10000*abs(guess.a -
current.a)+abs(guess.b - current.b)), where b is number of perfectly
matched pegs, and a is number of total matched colors
(results[0]+results[1] from nextGuess arguments).

Now, I generate each guess candidate by first generating compatible
color counts (first part of error sum), then generating most compatible
order.

In both of those steps I first quickly make some reasonable initial
state, then optimize it by some number of randomized changes, each
taking into account possible reduction of error. To speed up things a
lot I've maintained arrays of


the only one that
unsuccessfully attempted that, so I'm looking forward to read exactly
how he did it in the match editorial - right now I'm clueless edit: ok,
now I understand how he accomplished it: it's thanks to the brilliant
10000 * diff(hits + hints) term in the cost function). On the other
hand, vdave's "smart" discovery phase is rather intuitive (after one is
told about it, of course...), easy to understand and implement, and it's
also likely what allowed him to take the second spot in the tests.

Strategies

Our contest problem is also known as the "knapsack" problem, a special
case of the bin-packing problem. Everybody knows how to write a brute
force search algorithm to find the best fit song list. However, since
brute force search is obviously slow and our scoring system punishes
algorithms with longpower. This tweaking continued until a new strategy was found and
another tuning war began.

The third table shows how many questions are needed in total in the strategy (the sum of the lengths of all
the paths from the root of the tree to a leaf) and the expected number of questions needed (the expected
length of a path to a leaf). The numbers in the second column are rounded.
total number of questions expected number of questions
Simple 7471 5.765
Worst case 5801 4.476
Expected size 5696 4.395

Q:

work with fifo in c++ ( blocking read)

What I want to do :
1.Create and  open for writing in.fifo by process1
2.Open in.fifo for reading in process2
3.Write from cin to in.fifo by process1 line
4.Read and cout line by process2
5.When input "exit" to cin (process2), it closed file in.fifo, delete it and exit
6.process2 exit, because in.fifo has no writer
In my programs process2 doesn't exit. In c it works with read,write when O_NONBLOCK is clear , but I want to do  it in c++

A number of Christians, Hindus and Sufi, Ahmadi and Shiite Muslims have also been killed since last year, heightening fears for religious minorities in the officially secular country that comprises mainly Sunni Muslims.

Two foreigners, a Japanese farmer and a faith-based Italian aid worker, were also shot dead last year.

An English professor was hacked to death on Saturday as he walked to a bus stop. Although he had never knowingly criticised Islam, police suspect he was targeted for leading music and literature groups at his university.

It is in the Sixers' best interest to tinker around on offense with Noel and Embiid to make it work, because if they do, they could be very special on the defensive end.

  nerve and the parathyroid glands, hence keeping the morbidity at a low level. Most recently, minimally invasive surgery has been successfully used in treating both benign and malignant disorders of the thyroid gland. In the case of malignant disorders, minimally invasive surgery may become an attractive alternative to open surgery if a limited surgical extent is justified, e.g. in patients with micro-PTC (papillary thyroid carcinoma, diameter less than 1 cm). Whether a limited surgical approach is also justified in other cases, e.g. in any patient with intrathyroidal PTC or patients with micro-FTC (follicular thyroid carcinoma), remains to be shown and is the subject of ongoing investigations. One of the most intriguing recent discoveries is the identification of genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma. In these

A histologic examination of the regenerated bone was done. Eight cases were included in the evaluation, and 3 cases were excluded because they showed early escape of the distraction device. The mean (SD) area of the regenerated bone was 57.1% (26.3) in the experimental site and 41.8% (21.3) in the control site, which was not a statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). The mean (SD) hardness was 0.50 (0.17) MPa in the experiment site and 0.55 (0.29) MPa in the normal calvarial bone; the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

Regarding the substance of his critique, Pham maintains that China is hypocritically using double standards regarding ISR activities by opposing them in its 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) while undertaking them in others’ EEZs.

Pham writes:

A criminal charge may be one of the most stressful things a person can experience. Jail time, fines, forfeitures, and the overall stigma of being a convicted felon have affects that last a lifetime.

Types of Criminal Charges Handled by Egenberg, APLC

The firm handles charges in both State and Federal courts. Our experience includes drug charges, violent crimes, and financial crimes (“white collar”) including tax fraud, bank fraud, and embezzlement.

Egenberg, APLC: “Real talk” Criminal Defense

If you are currently dealing with criminal charges, you have only one chance to get it right.

Our approach to our criminal practice is simple:

If the evidence or the law leaves us something to work with, then we can prepare a defense, engage in motion practice, and try the case, if necessary.

If, however, the case


is simply not triable, then we seek the very best possible plea deal.

For most people, a criminal charge elicits a reaction of complete “denial”—not only to the authorities but also to themselves. A defendant simply “cannot believe that this is happening”.

Criminal charges impact families, jobs, marriages.

Our policy is “real talk”—and our clients have many times thanked us for it.

The work is considered relatively lacking in unity of its narrative progression. The narrative of the first frame seems unrelated to its graphics and the other frames are equally confusing: It is not clear which frames represent an enemy or an ally, or whether the speaker is the enemy, an ally or the viewer. In general the work is misleading in "spatial, temporal and psychological viewpoint".

The PA, the Bitch, and the Wardrobe: A Review of DD Atelier’s Amazonia Dress

Gentle readers, I beg your indulgence. I did a photoshoot for this absolutely fabulous dress, the Amazonia by DD Atelier, with the intention of telling a bit of a story in my review. Then as the shoot went on and even more as I looked at the pictures, I realized that really we had taken a photo essay, and that a true integration of story and review would do disservice to them both. Sometimes things take on lives of their own, and this brog has been such a lovely creative journey for


taking the offhand remarks and glances, the throwaway menial tasks. She wouldn’t go home to an empty apartment waiting for a man who wouldn’t call days after he’d promised he would. She was going to beat them at their own game. And so she began a slow but steady climb to the top, keeping the letter-opener close at hand as a reminder of where she’d been and where she was going. The rumors said the letter-opener had been instrumental in more ways than one in her achieving the astonishing success that followed, but nobody was willing to ask too many questions. It wasn’t worth the risk. By then, she was CEO of the company, and her takeover had been vicious and efficient.

Nothing but her demeanor changed, but herfrom DD Atelier that was also lovely but a bit long-waisted (and looked great on a taller friend of mine), so if you are interested in trying something and are worried about this, contact them and they can advise you on fit in their various styles. As mentioned in the story, the fabric is nice and thick and sturdy. The construction seems very high in quality, and all the seams are finished well. Other than the sleeves being quite tight (and it therefore being difficult to raise one’s arms completely), the dress is really comfortable and feels nice on. The other dress I tried was similarly well-made. I feel very comfortable recommending this dress highly, as well as recommending the company on the whole.

necessary to maintain [Leona] in her usual station of life, and to bury her," subject to court approval "of the necessity and wisdom of such [expenditure]." The residue of Leonard's estate was bequeathed to his sisters, Mildred Warrington and Delene Sheldon.
At the time of his death, Leonard held an undivided one-half interest in a 140-acre farm; Leona held the other undivided one-half interest. In the executor's final report, Leona asked that the clerk of court be directed to change title to Leonard's interest in the real estate in question "into the names of Mildred Warrington and Delene Sheldon subject to the life use of Leona Warrington." The probate court approved the final report and in its order directed the change in title requested by Leona. Thereafter, the remainderpersonstrue, neither the propriety of Leona's actions as executor nor the effect of these actions on the accuracy of record title is an issue in this case. We are not concerned with whether Leona would be equitably estopped from asserting her interest against a good-faith purchaser of the remainder interest. The issue in this case has an entirely different focus: Leona's intent to abandon her right to invade the principal.
When we examine the evidence with respect to Leona's intent, we conclude the remainderpersons have not carried their burden of proof. Even if we assume that Leona was obligated as executor to include her right to invade the principal as a limitation on title, her failure to do so could just as well have been due to inadvertence or


burden to prove claim by preponderance of evidence, evidence to support claim "must produce the stronger impression and be more convincing when weighed against [opposing] evidence"). Having rejected the basis for the district court's decision, we turn to the remainderpersons' alternative defenses.

IV. Statutory Bar of Probate Code.

Iowa Code section 633.487 precludes persons having notice or waiving notice of the final report from contesting "the correctness or the legality of the inventory, the accounting, distribution, or other acts of the personal representative" after approval of the final order and discharge of *204 the personal representative. In addition, Iowa Code section 633.489, which provides for the reopening of an estate under certain conditions, states that "a claim which is already barred can, in no event, be asserted in the reopenedthe action of the individual who holds the right to determine whether it has been waived. See Westfield Ins. Cos. v. Economy Fire & Cas. Co., 623 N.W.2d 871, 880 (Iowa 2001).
To prove estoppel, the remainderpersons rely on the fact that Leona did not assert her right of invasion during the probate of her husband's estate or in subsequent transactions relating to the real estate. In particular, they point to her failure to seek court approval for sale of the twenty-two acres to the county in 1992. They claim it is now too late, nearly thirty years later, to enforce her right.
The weakness in the remainderpersons' position is the fact that Leona had no need to invade the corpus of the property and therefore had no occasion to


were unconditionally entitled under the provisions of Leonard's will. Cf. id. (reversing district court decision denying permission to reopen estate to recalculate fees based on corrected inventory, noting recalculation of fees would not deprive executor and its attorney "of any fees rightfully owed to [them]"). In addition, there are no practical difficulties connected with reopening the estate, selling the farm, and applying the proceeds to Leona's expenses. Cf. In re Estate of Witzke, 359 N.W.2d at 185 (affirming district court's refusal to reopen estate due to practical difficulties in obtaining funds to pay petitioners, if they proved their claim, since estate assets had already been distributed). In view of these circumstances, we conclude the district court abused its discretion when it denied the conservator's petition to reopen theProteomic Screen of Brain Glycoproteome Reveals Prion Specific Marker of Pathogenesis.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are neurodegenerative disorders caused by the presence of an infectious prion protein. The primary site of pathology is the brain characterized by neuroinflammation, astrogliosis, prion fibrils, and vacuolation. The events preceding the observed pathology remain in question. We sought to identify biomarkers in the brain of TSE-infected and aged-matched control mice using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). Since the brain proteome is too complex to resolve all proteins using 2D-DIGE, protein samples are initially filtered through either concanavalin A (ConA) or wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA) columns. Four differentially abundant proteins are identified through screening of the two different glycoproteomes: Neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1), calponin-3 (CNN3), peroxiredoxin-6 (Prdx6), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).


increasing oscillating magnetic field. If both transmit and receive coils are resonant, they must be carefully tuned to be resonant at the same frequency. Resonant inductive coupling can transfer power over what is considered the electromagnetic near field, defined in terms of the wavelength (λ) of the operating resonant frequency, and in the range of the wavelength divided by two Pi (λ/2π). Even in this near field, efficiency in resonant inductive coupling falls off at a rate proportional to one over the distance between transmitter and receiver to the fourth power.
To increase the efficiency of resonant inductive coupling, losses in the coils are to be minimized. Common methods to reduce such losses include using air core coils to eliminate losses from magnetic cores, and using physically large coilschronic pain and pain from serious illnesses. Furthermore, they can be used to suppress persistent cough and diarrhea. Opiates or opioids can be broken down into several categories:

Natural

Semi-synthetic

Fully-synthetic

Endogenous opioid peptides

Opiates are alkaloids that come from the poppy plant and include morphine, codeine, and opium. People use this type of drug for both recreational and medicinal purposes. There are a variety of opiate drugs available, from legal painkillers to illegal ones, such as heroin. Some of the most common opiates available are:

Opium – Sold in a liquid or solid form, but it is most familiar as a brownish powder. It can be smoked, taken in pill form, or injected.

Melanocyte stem cells (McSCs) of the hair follicle can serve as a reservoir for melanocyte replenishment to the epidermal layer of the skin. This property has been demonstrated in patients with the depigmentation disease vitiligo, in which new pigmentation is found in a peri-follicular pattern surrounding hair follicles, following treatment with narrow-band ultraviolet B radiation (UVB). Unfortunately, repigmentation through UVB therapy is neither widespread nor durable. On the other hand, McSCs harboring mutations can serve as cells of origin for melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers. Melanoma in this context can be initiated by the activation of McSCs in response to UVB exposure. It is our long-term goal to identify the molecular mechanisms through with UVB alters the activation and migration of McSCs in order to provide aconversation and scores of others, intercepted by investigators, have added a splash of color to an otherwise dark two-year inquiry that resulted last week in the arrest of Mr. Carminati and 36 others accused of bullying their way into dozens of lucrative public tenders in the Italian capital.

Even for a country where corruption is taken for granted as a part of daily life, the revelations have stunned citizens — for uncovering a wholly new criminal ring smack in the heart of the capital, and for the staggering array of charges involving politicians across the spectrum.

The inquiry has blossomed into a national scandal and a reminder that virtually no corner of Italy is immune to criminal penetration. It has also raised fresh questions about Italy’s ability ever to reform


Q:

Deploying project JAR to artifactory programmatically

Deploy programatically created KIE-Drools-Artifact to Maven repository has come closest to what I'm trying to do.
I have artifactory set up as a remote repository for a project, and what I want to do is deploy snapshot releases to the libs-shapshot-local repository from one project so that they can be accessed via others.
As for my code, I'm working with Drools/java and I am able to create a JAR file and deploy it to the local .m2 repository from inside the program(thanks to the above question), I'm able to upload the JAR to artifactory via the maven command line, but for some reason I've been unable to get the JAR into artifactory via the java code.
I've looked through this site and a couplecombustors and pulse deflagrative combustors. Conventional steady state gas burners have been in use for years and have been described extensively in the literature. These devices are well understood and have proven reliable and efficient.
Pulse deflagration combustion systems are described extensively in the literature for various applications. Recent efforts have concentrated on transferring the technology to gas turbine applications. The pulse combustors developed thus far have relied on deflagrative combustion principles. Pulse combustor devices have demonstrated some of the inherent advantages of unsteady combustion which include: high combustion efficiency, high heat release, and low NO.sub.X production levels. The system described in this application is based on detonative combustion, which is significantly more efficient than deflagration combustion.


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a lighting device which is compact and efficient. It can be employed anywhere a concentrated light beam is necessary. The present invention would typically be used in a flashlight, a caution light, a light source, a reading light, a display or any of a multiplicity of lighting devices.
2. Description of Prior Art
A prior art design can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,730 issued to Sakai, et al. for a light emitting diode with its principles shown in FIG. 11 of the current application. In the FIG. 11 lighting device LP, light emitting diode (LED) element 1P is mounted at the top of a first lead frame 2P and electrically connected to a second lead 3P by a connectingdevice LP including the peripheral reflective surface 8P can be proportionally reduced but because LED element 1P will, if it is to maintain its light output maintain its size the ratio of peripheral reflective surface 8P size verses LED element 1P size will be reduced. A reduction in this size ratio reduces the ability of the peripheral reflective surface 8P to accurately redirect the side light resulting one again in a loss in efficiency.
Therefore, in a high efficiency embodiment the referenced prior art design is larger than desired. The large size increases manufacturing costs and due to shrinkage during molding, reduces the precision of the optical surfaces. Furthermore, the larger dimensions of the prior art design require the emitted light to pass through thick sections of transparent resin

   Extremo Norte do Tocantins Extractive Reserve

The Extremo Norte do Tocantins Extractive Reserve () is an extractive reserve in the state of Tocantins, Brazil.

Location

The Extremo Norte do Tocantins Extractive Reserve is divided between the municipalities of Sampaio (6.12%) and Carrasco Bonito (93.88%) in the state of Tocantins.
It has an area of .
The reserve lies to the north of the TO-201 highway, south of the Tocantins River.

History

The Extremo Norte do Tocantins Extractive Reserve was created by federal decree 535 of 20 May 1992.
On 9 December 2005 the Minister of the Environment appointed representatives of agencies and NGOs to elaborate the proposal for occupying the territory of the reserve.
The deliberative council was created on 23 May 2011.
The reserve is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio).
It is classed


years the families of the reserve still lived outside it in surrounding communities.
The result had been constant competition for resources and disputes with farmers, and steady clearance of the babassu to expand pasturage for livestock.

/SQSMT1 plays a pro-leukemic effect in AML through an autophagy/mitophagy-dependent mechanism \[[@B68-ijms-20-03559]\].

Altogether, the abovementioned data reveal that APL cells manifest low autophagy gene expression levels associated with reduced autophagy activity, which may favor preleukemia development and promote full leukemia transformation through cooperation with some oncogenic alterations (e.g., PML-RARα). It is worth noting that the expression of mRNA levels of ATG3, ATG4D, ATG5 and p62/SQSMT1 are also increased upon in vitro granulocytic differentiation of primary CD34+ progenitors, supporting the idea that upregulation of autophagy-related genes are common features of granulocytes/neutrophil differentiation in both normal and APL blasts \[[@B64-ijms-20-03559],[@B65-ijms-20-03559],[@B66-ijms-20-03559]\]. In fact, a recent study reported that autophagy is required for metabolic adaptation and differentiation in normal neutrophils \[[@B69-ijms-20-03559]\].

In APL cells, PML-RARα was reported to repress PU-1-dependent transcription activation of athat autophagy modulation may represent a means to restore differentiation \[[@B12-ijms-20-03559]\]. One proposed mechanism for the role of autophagy in differentiation relies on the selective degradation of the PML-RARα oncoprotein by autophagy, which allows the release of differentiation blockade in APL cells \[[@B14-ijms-20-03559]\]. This occurs through several mechanisms: one study revealed the involvement of the long-noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIRM1 in the induction of autophagy and the degradation of PML-RARα. \[[@B75-ijms-20-03559]\]. Another study showed that miR125B1 targets DRAM2 (a key regulator of autophagy) leading to inhibition of PML-RARα degradation and differentiation \[[@B76-ijms-20-03559]\]. It has also been shown that in response to ATRA, the autophagy adapter p62/SQSMT1 interacts with PML-RARα through its ubiquitin binding domain, resulting in PML-RARα degradation and differentiation activation \[[@B77-ijms-20-03559]\]. In addition, PML-RARα was also shown to


kinase complex. The initiation step is started by the formation of a double membrane known as the phagophore, which required the assistance of two complexes, including the ULK1/focal adhesion kinase family interacting protein of 200 kD (Fip200) complex and the class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/BECN 1 complex. The elongation step is mediated through the recruitment of two conjugation complexes, including the ATG5-ATG12-ATG16L1 complex and the ATG8 (LC3) complex. Upon autophagy, LC3 is first cleaved by ATG4 to produce LC3-I. The latter is recruited to the autophagosomal membrane upon its conjugation to phosphatidylethanolamine. The last step is the degradation of the contents of the autophagosome by the lysosomal acid hydrolases upon autophagosome--lysosome fusion. The autophagy adaptor proteins (e.g., p62/ sequestosome 1 (SQSMT1)) interact with specific cargoes directly or through  if (minHeapSize < MIN_HEAP_SIZE) {

Appropriating the histories of marginalized persons in this fashion causes us to feel dismissed. It’s not only because of historic injustices, but ongoing, present circumstances that they (we) experience. I’m in no way suggesting this was your intent. I quite believe you had no such intent.

As I said in my original comment, “… Perhaps if crimes against Pagans were not ongoing, we could easily (or not) dismiss such an outrageous and appropriating title.”

Finally you said:

“I am not aware of Pagans beinga position of a symbol period which does not exceed the threshold value using a proximate symbol period known in the receiver. Then, as shown in FIG. 3d, the zero detection circuit 14 detects a zero crossing from outputs of the BPF 13 and provides a symbol clock to the sampler 15 and the demodulator 16 as a symbol timing, thereby making a PN synchronization of the phases of codes of the transmitter and the receiver.

FIG. 5b illustrates a change of value in a modulo accumulator in the DCO 28. As shown in a first symbol period in FIG. 5a, a time(a number of clocks) for obtaining a maximal value in the accumulator is prolonged in a case when an output difference of the early sampler and the late sampler is negative because the accumulation unit decreases as the output difference is subtracted from the basic accumulation unit, and for a second symbol period shown in FIG. 5a, a time for obtaining a maximal value in the accumulator is shortened in a case when an output difference of the early sampler 24to Trump, you can’t touch this. But these leftist toadies never, ever learn.

So now, some deep state dirtbag has decided he can end-run classification (sound familiar?) and executive privilege and narc out The Donald to the House Dems by leveraging the whistleblower statutes. And what is the subject of said narcage? Allegedly, Trump told the Ukrainians that they should investigate why Joe Biden’s kid and brothers ended up with hugely lucrative sweetheart deals in that notorious Slavic cesspool of corruption.

To which Normal Americans reacted by asking, “Wait, Joe Biden’s kid and brothers ended up with hugely lucrative sweetheart deals in that notorious Slavic cesspool of corruption?”

It apparently again became a wrong thing to ask a foreign government to use its power to assist a sitting US president against a presidential candidate of the other party, probably on January 20, 2017.

And of course, noted particle physicist Joe – because he’s smart – is on video bragging about how he told the Ukrainians that unless they fired a nosy prosecutor who was poking around sonny’s company they could wave dasvidaniya to a US loan. So, the whole extortion argument is…awkward.

Al Qaeda Trained Bombing Suspect, Indictment Says

A federal indictment said Richard Reid, accused of trying to
down an airliner with explosives in his shoes,investigation is based on the seminal work by Pearl [@Pearl2000] and Spirtes et al. [@Spirtes2000] on causal inference (cf. [@Ramsey:2010; @Grosse-WentrupNeuroImage2011; @waldorp2011effective; @mumford2014bayesian] for applications of this framework in neuroimaging). We find that the distinction between encoding and decoding models is not sufficient for this investigation. It is further necessary to consider whether models work in causal or anti-causal direction, i.e. whether they model the effect of a cause or the cause of an effect [@Schoelkopf2012]. To accommodate this distinction, we distinguish between stimulus- and response-based paradigms. We then provide causal interpretation rules for each combination of experimental setting (stimulus- or response-based) and model type (encoding or decoding). We find that when considering one model at a time, only encoding models in stimulus-based experimental paradigms support unambiguous causal statements. Also, we


(section \[sec:cbn\]) and demonstrate how it leads to testable predictions for the causal statements cited in the introduction (section \[sec:causterm\]). We then introduce the distinction between causal and anti-causal encoding and decoding models (section \[sec:causalmodels\]) and establish a connection between these models and causal inference (section \[sec:interrel\]). This connection enables us to present the causal interpretation rules for encoding and decoding models in section \[sec:rules\]. In section \[sec:jointinference\], we show that combining an encoding and a decoding model trained on the same data can provide further insights into causal structure. We conclude this section by providing a reinterpretation of previous work on encoding and decoding models in a causal framework (section \[sec:previouswork\]).

Causal Bayesian Networks {#sec:cbn}
------------------------

By $X$ we denote the finite set of $d$ random variables representing the braineffect of $X_0$ and $X_2$, it unblocks the previously blocked path between $X_0$ and $X_2$, implying that $X_0 \not{\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}X_2 | X_1$.

The equivalence between d-separation and conditional independence enables us to infer causal relations between variables in $\widehat{X}$ from observational data. By identifying conditional independences that hold in our data, and mapping them onto the equivalent d-separations, we gain knowledge about the causal structures that can give rise to our data. This link forms the basis of the inference rules we describe in section \[sec:rules\] and \[sec:jointinference\]. We refer the interested reader to [@mumford2014bayesian] for a more exhaustive introduction to this causal inference framework in the context of neuroimaging.

Causal terminology and CBNs {#sec:causterm}
---------------------------

We now demonstrate how the causal statements, that we cited in the introduction to motivate our work,


this experimental paradigm. Features with insufficient evidence for rejection of the null-hypothesis are considered irrelevant for the present encoding model. The set of relevant and irrelevant features in an encoding model is subsequently denoted as $X^{\text{+enc}}$ and $X^{\text{--enc}}$, respectively. Assuming faithfulness, the relevance of features in an encoding model can be translated into d-separation properties that provide insights into the causal structure of the data-generating process. In particular, features in $X^{\text{--enc}}$ are d-separated from the experimental condition by the empty set while features in $X^{\text{+enc}}$ are not d-separated from the experimental condition by the empty set.

When using a decoding model to analyze neuroimaging data, we wish to identify features that help in decoding the experimental condition; that is, we wish to determine for each feature if its removal\in X_\text{+dec}$ although $X_2$ is not an effect of $S$.

Secondly, assume $S \to X_1 \to X_2$. Since $X_1$ d-separates $S$ and $X_2$, i.e. $S {\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}X_2 | X_1$, we have $X_2 \in X_\text{--dec}$ although $X_2$ is an effect of $S$.

This establishes that interpreting relevant features in anti-causal decoding models has two drawbacks. Firstly, features in $X_\text{+dec}$ are only potentially effects of $S$. And secondly, effects of $S$ might be missed, since effects are not necessarily relevant for decoding the experimental condition. This yields the following two interpretation rules:

For $C\equiv  S$: $$\begin{aligned}
        X_i \in X_\text{+dec} \centernot\iff &X_i \text{ is an effect of } S \text{, i.\,e.~} S \dashrightarrow X_i
    \end{aligned}$$

For $C\equiv  S$: $$\begin{aligned}


the fact that $\gamma \in X^\text{--enc}_\text{+dec}$.

As we have shown in the previous section, encoding and decoding models provide complementary information. We hence argue that the problem discussed in [@Todd2013; @woolgar2014coping] is not a shortcoming of decoding models, but rather a useful feature. Decoding models provide insights into causal structure that cannot be gained by only investigating encoding models. Pitfalls are not due to weaknesses of decoding models, but a result of negligent interpretation of relevant features. Our findings are thus in line with Todd et al. and Woolgar et al. and strengthen the point that MVPA results need to be interpreted carefully.

### Linear encoding and decoding models

In [@Haufe2014] Haufe et al. demonstrated that linear backward models, i.e. linear decoding models, “cannot be interpreted in terms of the studied brain processes”, as aexperimental setup and recorded data in section \[sec:exppar\]. For simplicity, we omit details of the experimental setup that are irrelevant for the stimulus-based setting. We then describe the data preprocessing steps and the derivation of our brain state features in section \[sec:exppre\]. In section \[sec:exptrain\], we train a nonlinear encoding and a nonlinear decoding model and determine the set of (ir-)relevant features for each model type. The causal conclusions, that can be derived from our analysis, are presented in section \[sec:expind\]. We first focus on each model type independently, and then discuss further causal insights that are obtained by combining encoding and decoding models.

Experimental setup and data {#sec:exppar}
---------------------------

Subjects were trained in a visuo-motor learning paradigm to maximize the smoothness of three-dimensional reaching movements performed with their right hand.


to quantify the probability of the set of observed p-values under the assumption of (conditional) independence. We reject the null-hypothesis of $S {\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}X_i$ or $S {\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}X_i | X \setminus X_i$, for the encoding or decoding side, respectively, if the resulting p-value of the KS test is below the significance level $\alpha = 0.05$. Conversely, we accept the null-hypothesis if the p-value across subjects exceeds $\beta = 0.10$. In this way, we can test each feature’s significance for encoding and decoding on a group-level, while avoiding problems in causal analysis related to pooling features across multiple subjects [@Ramsey:2010].

The resulting p-values are shown in Table \[tab:encres\] and \[tab:decres\] for the encoding and decoding analysis, respectively. For the encoding side, we find all six cortical ICs to be relevant. For thewere both indirect effects, all observed brain state features would be indirect effects.

We note that these causal conclusions are in line with the roles commonly attributed to the corresponding cortical areas. Specifically, the higher-level cortical areas represented by ICs 3–5 are only found to be indirectly modulated by the instruction to plan a reaching movement. In contrast, low-level sensorimotor and visual areas, represented by ICs 1 and 2, respectively, are found to contain at least one direct effect of the instruction to plan a movement.

Sprite_tm is a big FPGA fan and he was always looking for a nice project to polish his VHDL skills with.

Luckily the company he’s working for decided to clean up storage and throw away some broken PCBs and that’s how he got some old FPGA hardware.

“…To control all that, there was a XC2V1000; a somewhat aged but quite large Xilinx Virtex2 FPGA. Because most of its IO ended up on the various headers, this board could be easily re-used as an FPGA development board.”

He discovered a site called FPGA Arcade which offers a few recreations of old consoles and arcade games in VHDL and Verilog and he started hacking some arcade games then he decided to try his hand at creating a vector-based CRT arcade.

Sprite_tm has always likedspin he had enough confidence that he knew what he was doing to start implementing his own game.In the end he got a version of Black Widow up and running, and even built a miniature cabinet for the thing.

Sprite_tm also wrote an article that goes into all kinds of nitty gritty details about getting vector graphics games working and then recorded a video to show some of the gameplay.

Analysis also showed that older users used their phone less frequently than younger users. For every 10-year interval in age, there was a corresponding 25 per cent decrease in the number of user sessions. In other words, a 25-year-old might use their phone 20 times a day, but a 35-year-old might use it only 15 times.

The study tracked 134 volunteers, ranging from 19 to 63 years of age, through a custom app installed on their Android phones. For two consecutive months, the app collected data on lock and unlock events, choice of auto or manual lock and whether the phone was locked or unlocked while in motion. The app also recorded the duration of user sessions.

It is located at the Museum Square in the borough Amsterdam South, close to the Stedelijk Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the Concertgebouw.[8]

The museum opened on 3 June 1973. It located in buildings designed by Gerrit Rietveld and Kisho Kurokawa. The museum's collection is the largest collection of Van Gogh's paintings and drawings in the world. In 2013, the museum had 1.4 million visitors, and was the 2nd most visited museum in the Netherlands and the 35th most visited art museum in the world. In 2014, the museum had 1.6 million visitors.

Upon Vincent van Gogh's death in 1890, his work

In 1998 and 1999, the building was renovated by the Dutch architect Martien van Goor[13] and an exhibition wing by the Japanese modernist architect Kisho Kurokawa was added.[14]

Starting in the fall of 2012, the museum was closed for renovations for six months. During this period, 75 works from the collection were shown in the Hermitage Amsterdam.[15]

On September 9, 2013, the museum unveiled a long-lost Van Gogh painting that spent years in a Norwegian attic believed to be by another painter. It is the first full-size canvas by him discovered since 1928. Sunset at Montmajour depicts trees, bushes and sky, painted with Van Gogh's familiar thick brush strokes. It can be dated to the exact day it was painted because he described it in a letter to his brother,Dutchmen were convicted for the theft to four-and-a-half-year sentences, but the paintings were never recovered.[21][22] The museum has offered a reward of €100,000 for information that leads to the recovery of the paintings.[23] The FBI Art Crime Team has listed the robbery on their Top Ten Art Crimes list, and estimates the combined value of the paintings at 30 million US dollars.[24]
Buildings

The museum is situated at the Museumplein in Amsterdam-Zuid, on the Paulus Potterstraat 7, between the Stedelijk Museum and the Rijksmuseum.[25] The museum consists of two buildings, the Rietveld building, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, and the Kurokawa wing, designed by Kisho Kurokawa.[26] The museum offices are housed on Stadhouderskade 55 in Amsterdam-Zuid.[25]

The Parties
Laboy is currently confined at Woodbourne Correctional Facility (the "Facility"), New York, pursuant to a judgment of conviction of the Supreme Court of Bronx County.
Respondent Joseph Demskie ("Demskie" or "the State") is the Superintendent of the Facility. Pursuant to an agreement between the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York and the Office of the District Attorney of Bronx County, the Bronx District Attorney (the "District Attorney") represents Demskie.

Prior Proceedings
On October 23, 1992, Laboy was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree after a jury trial, and he was sentenced on November 17, 1992 to an indeterminate prison term of eight and one-third to twenty-four years. On March 22, 1994, the Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed


prior to the shooting. However, Blount never placed Laboy or a person fitting Laboy's description on the scene in her first four interviews with the police.
In her fifth interview with police, approximately eighteen hours after the shooting, Blount for the first time identified Laboy as being present on the scene along with the two black men she had already described. Blount told Detective Tebbens that she saw Laboy stand next to Arragones, put his right arm around Arragones, and place a black object against Arragones' left side as she heard a "bang" or firecracker noise. Blount also informed the detectives that she had known Laboy for approximately six months.
Based on Blount's statement, the police on June 15, 1991 brought Laboy to the 48th Precinct Station House to conducta line-up. After Blount identified Laboy in the line up, Laboy was arrested for the shooting of Arragones.

II. The Trial
Laboy was charged with murder in the second degree and manslaughter in the first degree. The state's case against Laboy rested primarily on Blount's eyewitness testimony. Consequently, the main issue at trial was Blount's identification of Laboy as the perpetrator, and Laboy's sole defense consisted of attacking the credibility of Blount's testimony. The state also presented forensic evidence that corroborated Blount's testimony that Arragones was shot in the left armpit. While this does not corroborate Blount's identification of Laboy as the perpetrator, it does corroborate Blount's account of the shooting.
On direct examination, Blount testified that other individuals, in addition to Laboy, were in the vicinity of Arragones around the


petition, which was filed before the Act took effect.

II. Laboy's Sixth Amendment Claim
Laboy contends that the state trial court denied him his Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses against him by refusing to permit petitioner to impeach the complaining witness with respect to allegedly inconsistent prior statements she made to police officers investigating the shooting. Laboy also contends that the trial court deprived him of his *740 right to confrontation by barring defense counsel from cross-examining the police officers about these statements.

A. The Sixth Amendment Right of Confrontation
The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment, which applies to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, see Pointer v. Texas, 380 U.S. 400, 85 S.Ct. 1065, 13 L.Ed.2d 923 (1965), guarantees the defendant in a criminal prosecution the right to confrontlevel of constitutional error.
Not all erroneous evidentiary rulings rise to the level of constitutional error sufficient to warrant the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus. See Taylor v. Curry, 708 F.2d 886, 891 (2d Cir.1983); Vargas v. Walker, No. CV-94-3571, 1996 WL 118555, *3 (E.D.N.Y. Feb. 28, 1996). Constitutional error occurs only in the rare case when the trial court excludes material evidence that would have created a reasonable doubt that did not otherwise exist. Taylor, 708 F.2d at 891, citing United States v. Agurs, 427 U.S. 97, 112-13, 96 S.Ct. 2392, 2401-02, 49 L.Ed.2d 342 (1976); Vargas, 1996 WL 118555, at *3.
Moreover, the Confrontation Clause generally guarantees only "an opportunity for effective cross-examination," Delaware v. Fensterer, 474 U.S. at 20, 106 S.Ct. at 294. It does


the Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses. The petitioner has thus made the requisite "substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right." Reasonable jurists could disagree with this Court's resolution of the petitioner's claim. Moreover, the question presented "deserves encouragement to proceed further," since appellate review could provide important guidance to federal habeas courts in this circuit. Therefore, a certificate of appealability will be issued.

Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, Laboy's petition for a writ of habeas corpus is hereby denied. A certificate of appealability is hereby granted on the issue of whether Laboy's constitutional right to confront witnesses was abridged.
It is so ordered.

the impeachment is done now.
The Court: And she even said on one of her answers, who are you asking me the description for. If you want to lay a foundation and say, did you give a description of the other person that Tony was talking to I suppose you can ask her, although it's not impeachment; because, no one ever asked her a description on that.
Mr. Hirsch: I will object on the grounds of hearsay. It is not inconsistent.
Ms. Ruiz: Just because Mr. Hirsch doesn't ask for a description doesn't mean that I can't ask her.
The Court: But he is not the shooter.
Ms. Ruiz: We don't know that. In this particular report, from what I gather, that is the shooter, Judge. she [sic] says that he goes toactual attempt to make the argument and thus cannot be the basis for issuing a writ of habeas corpus.
[6]  In Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967), the United States Supreme Court held "that before a federal constitutional error can be held harmless, the court must be able to declare a belief that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt." Id. at 24, 87 S.Ct. at 828. Previously, the United States Supreme Court had applied the Chapman standard to federal habeas cases. See, e.g., Yates v. Evatt, 500 U.S. 391, 111 S.Ct. 1884, 114 L.Ed.2d 432 (1991); Rose v. Clark, 478 U.S. 570, 106 S.Ct. 3101, 92 L.Ed.2d 460 (1986); Milton v. Wainwright, 407 U.S. 371, 92 S.Ct. 2174, 33 L.Ed.2d

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that blockade of the 5-HT2 or the alpha-adrenergic receptor would inhibit the 5-HT-induced decrease of microcirculatory blood flow in the masseter. In 12 rabbits, the masseters were infused with 5-HT (10(-9) mol/l) in combination with the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine (10(-6) mol/l) or the 5-HT2-receptor antagonist ritanserin (10(-6) mol/l). The effect on microcirculatory blood flow was measured by laser-Doppler flowmetry. Infusion of 5-HT induced a significant decrease in blood flow. Inclusion of ritanserin in the 5-HT infusion solution significantly inhibited thisQ:

Why is my MPMediaItem NowPlayingItem returning null?

I am incorporating the iPod player in my app.  I am able to create a queue, then play the songs.  I am not able to get the current song's property values.  I have registered for the notifications and the log shows the notifications are bing triggered.
MPMediaItem *currentItem = self.musicPlayer.nowPlayingItem;
NSLog(@"currentItem = %@", currentItem);

Log output shows: currentItem = (null)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

For anyone else who may run into the same issue, the problem was that I synced my Music after running my application.  You need to observe for Library changes:

stay focused on my life & achieve my goals but am unable to move on from past events, hurts, disappointments. Also, current disappointments keep throwing me off track. Are there any psychic techniques n practical step by step processes to help me do this?

I have to agree if your intentions are not good you will get a karmic back lash. Something you always wanna avoid.

Then another negative thing is it really can destroy relationships, yes the other person ends up liking you etc but do you really want that person to be very shy around you??? Or trying to impress you all the time instead of just being themselves around you???

As for the original poster Ive had the same problem what I did is create a new anchor,scenarios in which I talk to him, show him some affection (hug etc), remind him of the good times we had, make my case so to speak (like asking for forgiveness, explaining the situation things like that), in the visualisation? will that work? will it result in a thought transference? will they hear and understand me?

I dont believe psychic seduction is negative at all. But its not a good idea, because of the sexual restrictions our society has. It has alot of negative connotation, and trying to override those connotations and seduce a person effectively at the same time is a waste of energy. If you were to apply the same mind conditioning exercises to love, rather than seduction, you might as well have the most abundant family


When you do that, youll have results on a completely new level.

Whether psychic seduction isn't inherently negative anymore than flirting with someone is inherently negative. It is just about intent. A person with bad intent is going to use it negatively and a person with good intent will use it well. I used to know heaps of guys who used psychic seduction and the ones who were balanced and genuinely nice individuals had the most success long term. The problem with being an asshole is that at the end of the day one is still an asshole. Genuinely nice guys are people with good inner game because they are nice to themselves.

That was in contrast to takeoffs by regional jets she witnessed Thursday when she was forced her to plug her ears and shout at the person next to her, Clapper said.

Kinney said the 737-500 was quieter than not only the regional jets, but also a small corporate jet and a large corporate jet he heard take off Thursday. The 737 had a lower frequency than the other planes, he said.

In addition, Kinney said he went to the Buttermilk parking lot to hear the plane land, which was surprisingly quiet, though he noted that landing is the quietest point of a plane’s flight.

Clapper said that while it was educational to see and hear the plane, she noted that it was not an accurate representation


at the Alamodome, but they wouldn’t have been able to fit all their other events had we not had this transformation,” Matej said.

The new facility has attracted new customers, but another function of the expansion is to retain the existing organizations that use the space for conferences and annual meetings that were on the verge of getting to big for San Antonio like the Breast Cancer Symposium, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Distributech, American Assoc of Pharmaceutical Scientist, and others.

“We want to be able to grow with them,” Matej said.
