Colour terms and offsets {#secOff}
------------------------

Comparison of the simulated and scattered data with the observational data, showed small – but notable – colour differences between [*Galaxia*]{} predicted colours and observed colours at the level of several hundredths of magnitude to a few tenths of a magnitude. This is not entirely surprising, inasmuch as the [*Galaxia*]{} predicted colours rely entirely on synthetic model atmospheres and model filter profiles.\
We therefore used “benchmark” features in the observed data, to align the two sets of data. Figure\[figLandmark\] shows example contours (rather than grey scales) of source density in J–W1/W1–W2 after these offsets were determined and applied. Offsets were determined using observed stars with G=9-14.5 from a number of features: the M-dwarf branch at J–W1$\approx$1; the     23   9.83

What are the $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ in the Sampling Distribution of $\bar{X}=\frac { 1 }{ n } \sum _{ i=1 }^{ n }{ X_{ j } } $?

The sampling distribution of $\bar{X}$ defined in a book that I am reading is $\bar{X}=\frac { 1 }{ n } \sum _{ i=1 }^{ n }{ X_{ j } } $.
I know $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ are random variables. But what is confusing to me is that should $n$ here be seen as the number of observations or the number of trials in each observation?
If the $n$ here is the number of observations, then, does that mean that the $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ are mean values of their own individual trials? For example, $X_1$ is the average of say 10


trials. So $X_1$ itself is $X_1=\frac { 1 }{ 10 } \sum _{ i=1 }^{ 10 }{ Y_{ i } } $, where $Y_{1...10}$ are the trials made in the observation set of $X_1$. In this case, however, $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ are more of like constant instead of random variables any more. Then it shouldn't be just $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ but $\bar{X_1}, \bar{X_2}, ..., \bar{X_n}$ and $\bar{X}=\bar{X_1}, \bar{X_2}, ..., \bar{X_n}$. But this doesn't look like how it is defined.
Then, if the $n$ here is the number of trials in each observation, then $\bar{X}$ is just the mean value of the trials in this single observation, which again doesn't make a lot of sense because this is just average of one set of observation. From my understanding,boundaries on its behavior.

The Perpetrator

The shooter who killed 58 people and injured more than 500 was confirmed as Stephen Paddock. Since he took his own life and left little to provide information about his motives, his life and persona became the focus of reports across the media.

This article in the BBC exemplifies the typical ‘regular guy, gone wrong’ narrative seen in most accounts; a quiet accountant who some people found weird with a troubled past but no criminal record. These adjectives and descriptions abounded almost as much as the image of an unkempt Paddock in a white t-shirt smiling to camera, seemingly harmless and friendly in a slightly zany sort of way.

of time they will need to transfer some quite significant operational and IT teams,” a source at a French financial regulator said.

“It is logical that it will happen in a progressive way and that technical constraints are taken into account (by a regulator).”

Irish regulators, too, are considering the practical and logistical constraints firms face in having to do a number of things in a relatively short time frame, Gerry Cross, Director of Policy and Risk at Ireland’s Central Bank said last week.

“We are open to thinking constructively about how this practical sequencing challenge might be addressed, how things might be arranged so that the various objectives can be met, without of course undermining our commitment to our responsibilities,” Cross said.

European regulators need to clarify which transitional arrangements willbe approved and offer flexibility on an ‘interim fix’ at the onset of the Brexit process or risk disruption to financial markets, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) industry body said in report this week.

“Some banks are also considering migration to a short-term or transitional way of operating in order to be ready for Brexit,” the report, which analyzed the Brexit planning measures of 15 banks of varying sizes and from different home regions.

“Their plans are therefore dependent upon regulatory approvals for transitional operating arrangements.”

Investment banks with large sales and trading operations, which buy and sell foreign exchange, debt, equities and other financial instruments for clients across Europe, require specialized talent and regulators who are familiar with sometimes esoteric financial instruments.

mudd, my first garden was nothing but wood chips, mostly bark and leaves. I


just finished a book,, ruth stout no work garden book,, and she says to mulch everything. my last house we used as a mulch dump all the time, it went from sand hole to paradise!!! even at the farm and several landscapes we add mulch wood flour or chips to lawns to add OM at some level.

some will say that the wood will steal N from the soil, ok lets say yes, but does it go any place?? and I have never seen it rod from on top of the soil, just catch what may have evaporated or volatilized in the first place.

that is where humus starts in the forest, trees are cannibals.....

Go ahead and use it.

If it was fresh hardwood mulch that was worthveggie beds containing only one or two plants in each bed. The plants produced well and required little attention as far as water requirements. Everything else we watered daily. This in subsoil conditions and with no fertilizer imputs.

The area I intend to use this year has been fertilized and limed, a cover crop planted and horse manure/bedding incorporated last fall. I will also be useing the same area that I used the hardwood mulch in last year, with more of the same mulch material top dress applied this year. Time will tell if I am makeing headway.

If you read and reread this article you will find this is probably the answer to soil transformation. The most fertile soils came from old growth OAK forests.
This all has nothing to do with the bark or trunk of big trees but the new growth that is less than 2.75 inches - this wood contains all the good stuff. Grind it down and incorporate it into the top inch (5cm's) of soil - disc it in and you will have a major component of creating REAL humus - you still may need to inoculate mycorrhizae to get the glomalin going. Basically Myco/glomalin + RWC (Ramial Wood Chips) = Humus or really good living topsoil.

We really need to start looking at forests not as timber but- LOL?

It took about three years of liming and rototilling to break the rocks down into something that resembled dirt, but the soil went from red to almost black and grew veggies great with zero irrigation except for nature. On that plot I used buckwheat as a covercrop to help concentrate calcium levels and clover legumes to help build organic matter and put N into the soil. We dont use large amounts of synthetic ferts, but will add P and K as well as dolomite to build up the soil levels of these missing nutrients.

The ITS comprised the modified agility T-test, squat jump, counter movement jump, maximum standing ball-throw velocity test, maximum jump ball-throw velocity test, and 20-m sprint. Oral temperature (OT) and vigilance were evaluated before and after the ITS. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE), blood lactate [La], and glucose [Gl] were recorded after each ITS. Short-term performance, recovery of physical performance, and OT were not affected by MEL ingestion after the ITS. Moreover, MEL did not affect cognitive performance or RPE scores after the ITS. However, [La] and [Gl] (p < 0.05 for both) were decreased after MEL ingestion. MEL has no effect on the recovery of physical performance but may affect glucose utilization and

 (the generalized BBM equation) went beyond general results on the pushforwards of Gaussian measures by nonlinear transformations such as Ramer’s [@RA]. It was shown in [@TzBBM] that a key step to showing absolute continuity is to establish a smoothing effect on the nonlinear part. In [@OTz1], the first and third authors studied the transport of Gaussian measures for the cubic NLS with quartic dispersion. An additional difficulty compared to [@TzBBM] is the absence of explicit smoothing coming from the nonlinearity, thus requiring the use of [*dispersion*]{} in an explicit manner. In [@OTz1], such dispersion was manifested through the normal form method. In this paper, we improve the result in [@OTz1] to the optimal range of Sobolev exponents by pushing the normal form method to the limit. Furthermore, we present


energy estimate with the analysis of the evolution of truncated measures. As in [@OTz1], showing a smoothing of the nonlinear part for requires normal form reductions. The main improvements over [@OTz1] here comes from a more refined implementation of the normal form reductions, inspired by [@GKO].

In the following, we first describe a rough idea behind this method introduced in [@TzBBM]. Let $\Phi(t)$ denote the solution map of sending initial data $u_0$ to the solution $u(t)$ at time $t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. Suppose that we have a measurable set $A \subset L^2({\mathbb{T}})$ with $\mu_s(A) = 0$. Fix non-zero $t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. In order to prove quasi-invariance of $\mu_s$, we would like to prove $\mu_s(\Phi(t)(A)) = 0$.[^2] The main idea is to establish the following two properties:

-   Energy estimateby estimating $\frac d{dt} \mu_s(\Phi(t) (A))$. In particular, by applying Yudovich’s argument [@Y], we obtain[^4] $$\begin{aligned}
\mu_s (\Phi(t)(A)) \leq C(t,  {\delta}) \big(\mu_s ( A)\big)^{1-\delta}
\label{Yudo}\end{aligned}$$

for any ${\delta}> 0$. In particular, if $\mu_s(A) = 0$, then we would have $\mu_s(\Phi(t)(A)) = 0$. See [@TzBBM; @OTz1; @OTzXEDP] for details.

As the quotation marks indicate, both (i) and (ii) are not quite true as they are stated above. In [@OTz1], we first performed two transformations to and transformed the equation into the following renormalized equation: $$\begin{aligned}
{\partial_t}{\widehat}v_n
& = -i \sum_{\substack{n = n_1 - n_2 + n_3\\n \ne n_1, n_3}}
e^{-i \phi(\bar n) t} {\widehat}v_{n_1}{\overline}{{\widehat}v_{n_2}}{\widehat}v_{n_3}
+ i |{\widehat}v_n|^2 {\widehat}v_n,
\label{4NLS1}\end{aligned}$$

where the phase function $\phi(\bar n) $ is given by $$\begin{aligned}
\phi(\bar n) = \phi(n_1, n_2, n_3, n) = n_1^4 - n_2^4 + n_3^4 - n^4.
\label{phiX}\end{aligned}$$

Note that this


reduction of to via two transformations on the phase space is another instance of global analysis. See Subsection \[SUBSEC:3.1\]. This reformulation exhibits resonant and non-resonant structure of the nonlinearity in an explicit manner and moreover it removes certain resonant interactions, which was crucial in establishing an effective energy estimate in Step (i). By applying a normal form reduction, we introduced a [*modified*]{} energy $E_t = \|u(t)\|_{H^s}^2 + R_t$ for some appropriate correction term $R_t$. See - below. We then established an energy estimate on the modified energy $E_t$, provided $s > \frac 34$. In Step (ii), in order to justify such a change-of-variable formula, we considered a truncated dynamics. Moreover, we needed to introduce and consider a change-of-variable formula for a [*modified*]{} measure associated with the modified energycontinuity criterion and conclude that $u^{\omega}$ in  is almost surely continuous when $s > \frac 12$. This in particular implies that the solution formula is well defined for initial data distributed according to $\mu_s$, $s > \frac 12$, and the corresponding solutions exist globally in time. We denote by ${\widetilde}\Phi(t)$ the solution map for the dispersionless model .

We now state our second result.

\[THM:sing\] Let $s > \frac 12$. Then, given $t \ne 0$, the pushforward measure ${\widetilde}\Phi(t)_* \mu_s$ under the dynamics of the dispersionless model is not absolutely continuous with respect to the Gaussian measure $\mu_s$. Namely, the Gaussian measure $\mu_s$ is not quasi-invariant under the dispersionless dynamics .

This is a sharp contrast with the quasi-invariance result for the cubic 4NLS in Theorem \[THM:1\] and for the cubic NLS


other hand, we combine this almost sure constancy of the modulus of continuity at time $t = 0$ and the solution formula to show that the modulus of continuity at non-zero time $t\ne 0$ does not satisfy the conclusion of the law of the iterated logarithm with a positive probability. Lastly, for $s > \frac 32$, we reduce the proof to one of Cases (i), (ii), or (iii) by differentiating the random function.

The existence of a quasi-invariant measure shows a delicate persistence property of the dynamics. In particular, this persistence property due to the quasi-invariance is stronger than the persistence of regularity[^8] obtained by the usual well-posedness theory. While the dispersionless model enjoys the persistence of regularity in $H^{\sigma}({\mathbb{T}})$, ${\sigma}> \frac 12$, Theorem \[THM:sing\] shows that the Gaussian4NLS in .

Let $S(t) = e^{-it {\partial_x}^4}$ be the solution operator for the linear fourth order Schrödinger equation . Denoting by $v= S(-t) {\widetilde}u$ the interaction representation of ${\widetilde}u$, we see that $v$ satisfies the following equation for $\{v_n\}_{n \in {\mathbb{Z}}}$: $$\begin{aligned}
{\partial_t}v_n
& = -i \sum_{{\Gamma}(n)} e^{-i \phi(\bar n) t} v_{n_1}{\overline}{v_{n_2}}v_{n_3}
+ i |v_n|^2 v_n \notag\\
& =: {\mathcal{N}}(v)_n + {\mathcal{R}}(v)_n,
\label{NLS5}\end{aligned}$$

where the phase function $\phi(\bar n)$ is as in and the plane ${\Gamma}(n)$ is given by $$\begin{aligned}
{\Gamma}(n)
= \{(n_1, n_2, n_3) \in {\mathbb{Z}}^3:\,
 n = n_1 - n_2 + n_3 \text{ and }  n_1, n_3 \ne n\}.
 \label{Gam1}
 \end{aligned}$$

Recall that the phase function $\phi(\bar n)$ admits the following factorization. See [@OTz1] for the proof.

\[LEM:phase\] Let $n = n_1 - n_2 + n_3$. Then, we have $$\begin{aligned}
\phi(\bar n) =


N}({\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N} v)(t)\bigg),
\label{Gibbs2}\\
F_{ r, t }(v) & =
F_{ r,\infty,  t }(v): =
{\mathbf 1}_{\{ \| v\|_{L^2 } \leq r\}} \exp\bigg( \sum_{j = 2}^\infty {\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_0( v)(t)\bigg).\notag \end{aligned}$$

It follows from Proposition \[PROP:energy\] that $$\begin{aligned}
{\mathbf 1}_{\{ \| v\|_{L^2 } \leq r\}}
\exp\bigg( \sum_{j = 2}^\infty \big|{\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_{0, N}( {\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N}v)\big|\bigg)
& \leq \exp\bigg(\sum_{j = 2}^\infty
C_0(j)  r^{2j}\bigg)
\leq C(s, r),\end{aligned}$$

uniformly in $N \in \mathbb{N} \cup\{\infty\}$ and $t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. Hence, we have $$\begin{aligned}
Z_{s, N, r} = \int_{H^{s-\frac{1}{2}-}} F_{N, r, t}(v) d\mu_s \leq C(s, r),\end{aligned}$$

uniformly in $N \in \mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ and $t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. See also Remark \[REM:t1\] below. This shows that $\rho_{s, N, r, t}$ and $\rho_{s, r, t}$ in and are well defined probability measures on $H^{s-\frac 12 -{\varepsilon}}({\mathbb{T}})$, ${\varepsilon}> 0$. Moreover, the following lemma immediately follows from the computation above as in [@OTz1terms of ${\widetilde}u (t)= S(t) v(t)$ and (ii) the invariance of $\mu_s$ under $S(t)$ (Lemma \[LEM:gauss\]). See also Remark \[REM:tdepend\] below. The same comment applies to the normalizing constant ${\widehat}Z_{s, N, r}$ defined in .

A change-of-variable formula
----------------------------

Next, we go over an important global aspect of the proof of Theorem \[THM:1\]. Given $N \in {\mathbb{N}}$, let $d L_N = \prod_{|n|\leq N} d{\widehat}u_n $ denote the Lebesgue measure on $E_N \cong {\mathbb{C}}^{2N+1}$. Then, from and with , we have $$\begin{aligned}
d \rho_{s, N, r, t}
& = Z_{s, N, r}^{-1}
{\mathbf 1}_{\{ \| v\|_{L^2 } \leq r\}} e^{ \sum_{j = 2}^\infty {\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_{0, N}({\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N} v)}
 d\mu_s\notag\\
& ={\widehat}Z_{s, N, r}^{-1}
{\mathbf 1}_{\{ \| v\|_{L^2 } \leq r\}} e^{- {\mathcal{E}}_{N, t}({\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N} v)}
dL_N \otimes
 d\mu_{s, N}^\perp, \end{aligned}$$

was applied to the evolution equation satisfied by the interaction representation. In [@GKO], (ternary) trees and ordered trees played an important role for indexing various multilinear terms and frequencies arising in the general steps of the Poincaré-Dulac normal form reductions.

Our main goal here is to implement an infinite iteration scheme of normal form reduction applied to the $H^s$-energy functional[^17] $ \| v(t)\|_{H^s}^2$, as we saw above. In particular, we need tree-like structures that grow in two directions. For this purpose, we introduce the notion of bi-trees and ordered bi-trees in the following. Once we replace trees and ordered trees by bi-trees and ordered bi-trees, other related notions can be defined in a similar manner as in [@GKO] with certain differences to be noted.

\[DEF:tree1\] Given a partially ordered setfirst generation. On the other hand, we did not apply the divisor counting argument to the frequencies of the first generation in the proof of Lemma \[LEM:sum1\] above. Instead, we simply used to control the first generation. By using only the factor $\mu_1 = -2 (n^{(1)} - n_1^{(1)})(n^{(1)} - n_3^{(1)})$ (and not the entire $\phi_1$) for the summation, allows us to exhibit the required smoothing in Proposition \[PROP:energy\].

Normal form reductions {#SUBSEC:NF}
----------------------

With the notations introduced in Subsection \[SUBSEC:tree\], let us revisit the discussion in Subsection \[SUBSEC:41\] and then discuss the general $J$th step. We first implement a formal infinite iteration scheme of normal form reductions without justifying switching of limits and summations. We justify formal computations at the end of this subsection. Let $v \in C({\mathbb{R}}; H^\infty({\mathbb{T}}))$ be a

\sum_{{\bf n} \in \mathfrak{N}({\mathcal{T}}_2)}

\prod_{a \in {\mathcal{T}}^\infty_2} v_{n_{a}}
 \notag\\
& =: {\partial_t}{\mathcal{N}}_0^{(2)}(v)(t) +  {\mathcal{R}}^{(2)}(v)(t) + {\mathcal{N}}^{(2)}(v)(t).
\label{N^1}\end{aligned}$$

Compare with . In the second equality, we applied the product rule and used the equation to replace ${\partial_t}v_{n_b}$ by the resonant part ${\mathcal{R}}(v)_{n_b}$ and the non-resonant part ${\mathcal{N}}(v)_{n_b}$. In substituting the non-resonant part ${\mathcal{N}}(v)_{n_b}$, we turned the terminal node $b \in {\mathcal{T}}^\infty_1$ into a non-terminal node with three children $b_1, b_2,$ and $b_3$, which corresponds to extending the tree ${\mathcal{T}}_1 \in \mathfrak{BT}(1)$ (and ${\bf n }\in \mathfrak{N}({\mathcal{T}}_1)$) to ${\mathcal{T}}_2 \in \mathfrak{BT}(2)$ (and to ${\bf n }\in \mathfrak{N}({\mathcal{T}}_2)$, respectively).

\[LEM:N\^J+1\_2\] Let ${\mathcal{N}}^{(J+1)}_2$ be as in . Then, given $v \in H^s({\mathbb{T}})$, $s > \frac 12$, we have $$\begin{aligned}
| {\mathcal{N}}^{(J+1)}_2(v)|  \longrightarrow 0,
\label{X1a}\end{aligned}$$

as $J \to \infty$.

We point out that one can actually prove Lemma \[LEM:N\^J+1\_2\] under a weaker regularity assumption $s \geq \frac 16$. See [@OW]. For our purpose, however, we only need to prove the vanishing of the error term ${\mathcal{N}}^{(J+1)}_2$ for sufficiently regular functions; our main objective is to obtain an energy estimate (on the modified energy ${\mathcal{E}}_{N, t}$ defined in ) for solutions to the truncated


In fact, one can show that $\mathfrak{S}_N( v)$ converges to $\mathfrak{S}_\infty( v)$ for any $v \in L^2({\mathbb{T}})$.

Recall from that ${\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_0( v)$ consists of a sum of the multilinear forms associated with ordered bi-trees ${\mathcal{T}}_{j-1} \in \mathfrak{BT}(j-1)$. Given $N \in {\mathbb{N}}$, the multilinear form ${\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_{0, N}( v)$ is obtained in a similar manner with the following modifications:

-   We set $ v_n = 0$ for all $|n| >N$. This corresponds to setting $v_{n_a} = 0$ for all $|n| >N$ and all terminal nodes $a \in {\mathcal{T}}_{j-1}^\infty$.

-   In view of , we also set $v_{n_a} = 0$ for all $|n| >N$ and all parental nodes in ${\mathcal{T}}_{j-1}$. This amounts to setting $v_{n_a} = 0$ for all $|n| >N$ and all non-terminal nodes $a \in {\mathcal{T}}_{j-1}^0$.

In particular, wefrequencies at non-terminal nodes $a \in {\mathcal{T}}^0_{j-1}$. Then, by writing $${\text{I \hspace{-2.8mm} I} }_j = {\widetilde}{\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_{0, N}( v) - {\widetilde}{\mathcal{N}}^{(j)}_{0, N}(  {\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N} v),$$

it follows from the multilinearity and the boundedness in $L^2({\mathbb{T}})$ (Lemma \[LEM:N\^J+1\_0\]) that the second term ${\text{I \hspace{-2.8mm} I} }_j$ tends to 0 as $N \to \infty$, by simply writing the difference in a telescoping sum. More precisely, we write ${\text{I \hspace{-2.8mm} I} }$ as a telescoping sum, replacing $2j$ factors of $v_{n_a}$, $a \in {\mathcal{T}}^\infty_{j-1}$, into $2j$ factors of $({\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N} v)_{n_a}$. This introduces $2j$ differences, each containing exactly one factor of $v - {\mathbf{P}}_{\leq N} v$ (tending to 0 as $N \to \infty$). We then simply apply Lemma \[LEM:N\^J+1\_0\] on each difference.

Similarly, we can show that ${\hspace{0.5mm}\text{I}\hspace{0.5mm}}_j$ in tends to 0 as $N


$\operatorname*{Re}u$ and $\operatorname*{Im}u$ are independent stationary Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes (in $x$) on $ [0,2\pi)$. Recall that the law of this process can be written as $$\label{rep1}
u(x) \stackrel{\mathrm{d}}{=} {\mathbf{P}}_{\ne 0}w(x) + g_0
= w(x) -\fint_0^{2\pi}w(y) dy  + g_0,$$

where $w$ is a complex OU bridge with $w(0)=w(2\pi)=0$ and $g_0$ is a standard complex-valued Gaussian random variable (independent from $w$).

We now recall the law of the iterated logarithm for the Brownian motion (see [@RW I.16.1]):

\[LEM:LIL1\] Let $B(t)$ be a standard Brownian motion on ${\mathbb{R}}_+$. Then, for each $t \geq 0$, $$\label{LIL1}
\limsup_{h\downarrow 0} \frac{B(t+h)-B(t)}{\sqrt{2h\log\log \frac{1}{h}}}=1,$$ almost surely.

It follows from the representation , the absolute continuity[^24] of the Brownian bridge with respect to the Brownian motion on any interval $[0,\gamma)$, $\gamma<2\pi$, and the absolute continuity of the OU bridge with respect tosuch a way that $$B^H(t)-\widehat{B}^H(t)$$ is a $C^\infty$-function on $(0,2\pi]$. Moreover, if $H \ne \frac 12$, then the laws of $B^H$ and ${\widehat}B^H$ are equivalent on $[0, T]$ for $T < 2\pi$ (and mutually singular if $T = 2\pi$).

Recall Kakutani’s criterion [@Kakutani] in the Gaussian case.

\[LEM:Kakutani\] Let $\{g_n\}_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}$ and $\{{\widetilde}{g}_n\}_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}$ be two sequences of centered Gaussian random variables with variances $\mathbb{E}[g_n^2]=\sigma_n^2>0$ and $\mathbb{E}[{\widetilde}{g}_n^2] = {\widetilde}{\sigma}_n^2>0$. Then, the laws of the sequences $\{g_n\}_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}$ and $\{\tilde{g}_n\}_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}$ are equivalent if and only if $$\sum_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}} \bigg( \frac{{\widetilde}{{\sigma}}^2_n}{{\sigma}^2_n}-1\bigg)^2<\infty.$$

From , we have $$\begin{aligned}
\operatorname*{Re}u_s(x)
& = \operatorname*{Re}g_0 + \sum_{n \geq 1}
\bigg(  \frac{\operatorname*{Re}g_n+\operatorname*{Re}g_{-n}}{{\langle n \rangle}^s}\cos (n x)
+  \frac{-\operatorname*{Im}g_n +\operatorname*{Im}g_{-n}}{{\langle n \rangle}^s}\sin(nx)\bigg).
\label{fBM2}\end{aligned}$$

Then, applying Lemma \[LEM:Kakutani\] to the sequences $$\bigg\{{\widetilde}{g}_0 t, \ \sqrt{2}\frac{{\widetilde}g_n}{n^{H+\frac12}},\ \sqrt{2}\frac{{\widetilde}g_n'}{n^{H+\frac12}}\bigg\}$$ and $$\bigg\{  \operatorname*{Re}g_0, \ \frac{\operatorname*{Re}g_n+\operatorname*{Re}g_{-n}}{{\langle n


\rangle}^3}
= \sum_{n=M}^N \frac{1}{n} + O\bigg(\sum_{n = M}^N \frac{1}{n^3}\bigg)
= \log N - \log M +O\left(\frac{1}{M}\right)
\label{LIL18}\end{aligned}$$

for $N > M \geq 1$, we first see that $N(k) \ge C_1 e^k$. Using once again, $$\begin{aligned}
\log N(k) + O(1)=
\sum_{n=1}^{N(k)} \frac{n^2}{{\langle n \rangle}^3}
\leq k +  \sum_{n=1}^k\frac{1}{N(n)+1}
\leq k + O(1), \end{aligned}$$

giving $N(k) \leq C_2 e^k$. Putting together, we have $$\begin{aligned}
C_1 e^k \leq N(k) \leq C_2 e^k.
\label{LIL19}
 \end{aligned}$$

Now, we define a sequence $\{X_{k}\}_{k\in {\mathbb{N}}}$ of independent Gaussian random variables by setting $$X_k = x\sum_{n=N(k-1)+1}^{N(k)}\frac{n}{{\langle n \rangle}^\frac{3}{2}}(g_n-g_{-n}).$$

Then, we have $$\mathbb{E}\big[|\operatorname*{Re}X_k|^2\big] =
\mathbb{E}\big[|\operatorname*{Im}X_k|^2\big] =  x^2\big(1+ O(N(k)^{-1})\big).$$

Finally, define $L(|x|)$ by $$L(|x|)=\inf \left\{ k: N(k) \ge \Big\lfloor \frac{1}{|x|}\Big\rfloor \right\}.$$

Then, from , we have $$L(|x|)=\log \frac{1}{|x|}\cdot (1+o(1)).$$

Applying Khintchine’s law of the iterated logarithm to the sum $$S(x) = \sum_{k=1}^{L(|x|)} X_k,$$

we find $$\limsup_{x\to  0} \frac{S(x)}{2^{\frac 32}|x|\sqrt{\log\frac{1}{|x|}\log\log\log{\frac{1}{|x|}}}}=1$$ almost surely.broker between Jerusalem and Damascus, Turkey, at Israel’s request, stepped into the role.

Abstract

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pimobendan, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor and calcium channel sensitizing agent, was hypothesized to decrease the severity of pulmonary hypertension (PHT) in a prospective short-term, double-blinded, crossover design, with a long-term, open-label component. Ten dogs with a peak tricuspid regurgitant pressure gradient (TRPG) [greater than or equal to] 50 mmHg on echocardiogram were enrolled. PHT was secondary to myxomatous valve disease in 8 of the dogs, and chronic pulmonary disease in 2. Dogs were examined on days 0, 14, 21, 35, and 91. In the 35-day short-term phase, dogs were randomly allocated to receive either placebo or pimobendan (0.18-0.3 mg/kg, PO q12h) for 14 days. Following a


1 week washout, the dogs received the alternative treatment for 14 days. All dogs then received pimobendan for 8 weeks. Data was analyzed using a two-period crossover design. Short-term comparison of pimobendan vs. placebo: All dogs had a decreased peak TRPG on pimobendan therapy in comparison to placebo (p=0.0061), with a mean decrease of 16.37 ± 12.89 mmHg. All dogs demonstrated a significant decrease in NT-proBNP levels while receiving pimobendan (p=0.0023), with a mean difference of 708.8 ± 508.6 pmol/L. A significant improvement in the summed QOL score was noted in 9/10 dogs (p=0.016). Long-term comparison of day 0 vs. 91: 9/10 dogs showed a decreased peak TRPG (p=0.03), with a mean decrease of 14.0 ± 15.6 mmHg.

But White House spokesman Josh said in Earnest that even the President's golfing raises money for serious statecraft, through side bets on individual holes. He said Obama can perform all his duties and attend to and create crises while on the road, as Wikia has given him a free iPad.

The Republican opposition in Congress has been silent on the use of Democratic Party money to run the government, as its leadership is in court, suing to get Obama to obey the law. They have filed a writ known as the Pretty Please — the same form that Obama himself used to ask Vladimir Putin to cough up the data recorder of downed Flight

The Republicans have offered no policy alternatives, as they believe any actual ideas might interfere with their march to recapture the Senate this November, a task that is crucial to enabling them to repeal Obama-care (either that, or apply minor tweaks so that it "works" better).for each serum sample after the seroneutralization was performed in mice. In cattle, the established minimum antitoxin levels were surpassed by 1.19, 3.71, and 10.74 IU/mL for alpha, beta, and epsilon toxins, respectively. In sheep, the antibody levels were also higher than the minimum antibody levels, this time by 0.34, 3.71, and 5.66 IU/mL respectively; and, in goats, these numbers were 0.70, 3.71, and 6.91 IU/mL respectively.

When the antibody levels of the recombinant vaccine were compared with those of the commercial vaccine, the former exhibited higher mean levels of neutralizing antibody. In cattle, the recombinant formulation was capable of inducing levels of 1.08, 2.51, and 7 IU/mL higher than the commercial vaccine against alpha, beta, and epsilon toxins, respectively. In sheep, these values were 0.11, 1.88, and 2.52 IU/mL higher, while, in goats,


they were 0.7, 1.54, and 2.85 IU/mL higher than the commercial vaccine. According to the statistical analysis, rAlpha was able to induce significantly higher responses in cattle (P \< 0.01) and goats (P \< 0.05), but not in sheep ([Fig. 2A](#f2){ref-type="fig"}). rBeta antigen induced significantly higher levels only in cattle (P \< 0.05; [Fig. 2B](#f2){ref-type="fig"}), while rEpsilon was able to induce significantly higher levels in all three species (P \< 0.01 for cattle and sheep, and P \< 0.05 for goats; [Fig. 2C](#f2){ref-type="fig"}). The negative controls of each species did not contain any detectable neutralizing antibody levels and were, therefore, omitted from [Tables 2](#t2){ref-type="table"}, [3](#t3){ref-type="table"} and [4](#t4){ref-type="table"}.

Neutralizing antibody levels induced in ruminants are lower than in rabbits
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the administration of the recombinant vaccine, the antibody levels induced in rabbits, which is the animal model for testing *C. perfringens* vaccines,separately, cattle generated 23.04, 33.70, and 9.43 IU/mL against the respective toxins. However, the results were converted from non-standard tests, rather than calculated directly in IU/mL, and, as commented by the authors, these conversions may have reduced the precision of the results. Moreover, antibody levels of the group immunized with the three antigens together were not mentioned, although it was reported that this group exhibited similar antibody levels against each of the antigens. In the present study, 200 μg of each of the three antigens were used to formulate the recombinant trivalent vaccine using Al(OH)~3~ as adjuvant. In this case, the vaccine was able to induce 5.19, 13.71, and 12.74 IU/mL in cattle. These titers were lower than those described by Jiang *et al*.[@b18], but offered the advantage of using the well-known


for this test in accordance with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) directive n° 23[@b24], which regulates *C. perfringens* vaccine commerce in Brazil. The procedures were based on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)[@b10], European Pharmacopoeia[@b11], and Code of Federal Regulations Title 9 (CFR 9, USA)[@b12] for measuring alpha, beta, and epsilon antitoxins, respectively. Briefly, 1 mL of each standard toxin (NIBSC) was incubated at 37 °C for 1 h with 1 mL of each pooled sera in serial dilutions from 1:1 to 1:32. Then, ten Swiss Webster mice weighing 18--22 g were intravenously inoculated with 0.2 mL of each sample and subsequently observed for 72 h for survival and then euthanized if necessary. The procedure was repeated with intermediary dilutions of the sera to identify the lower protective dilution.non-parametric test to determine significant differences in the immune response against each toxin each of the ruminant species exhibited. Moreover, the antibody levels generated in rabbits were compared with those generated in cattle, sheep, and goats using a paired, two-tailed, Wilcoxon non-parametric test to determine significant differences between each of the toxins for both commercial and recombinant vaccines. Since all animals of the group of goats immunized with commercial vaccine had the same antibody titers against alpha toxin, these values were the only exception to the statistics. For the first comparison, a paired, two-tailed, Wilcoxon non-parametric test was performed, while for the second, no test was applicable. The software Prism v5.01 (GraphPad) was used to calculate significant differences.

and that its roles in behavior reflect these functions.

In order to dissect out the individual roles of *lov* in different subsets of neurons we undertook neuronal cell-type specific knockdown of *lov*, using the Gal4 system \[[@pone.0160233.ref008]\] in combination with *lov* RNAi. A series of neuron-specific Gal4 lines were screened for their effects on development and behavior when driving *lov* RNAi. Given that *lov* is expressed in almost all of the external sense organ (eso) neurons of the embryonic PNS we particularly sought Gal4 drivers that would express *lov* RNAi uniquely in eso lineages. The transcription factor Cut is essential for the maintenance of eso lineages \[[@pone.0160233.ref009]\] in both the embryo and the adult wing margin \[[@pone.0160233.ref010]\]. Regions of the *cut* locus that drive expression in the embryonic esosothers noticeably smaller than controls. By day 5 after hatching \~30% of the larvae had died and a further \~30% died before pupation ([Fig 3B](#pone.0160233.g003){ref-type="fig"}). Strikingly, those that reached wandering phase showed no tunneling at all in the agarose substratum ([Fig 2B](#pone.0160233.g002){ref-type="fig"}). Only \~ 20% of the larvae survived to adulthood. The effects of *lov* knockdown with *btl*-Gal4 were even more detrimental. Larvae were sluggish and showed very little growth, with \~65% dying outside the food during days 1--5 after hatching ([Fig 3B](#pone.0160233.g003){ref-type="fig"} and [S2 Fig](#pone.0160233.s002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). As for *cut(ue)*-Gal4, no larvae tunneled in the agarose substratum ([Fig 2A](#pone.0160233.g002){ref-type="fig"}), but in contrast to *cut(ue)*-Gal4, no larvae survived long enough to attempt pupation. For *lov^91Y^*-Gal4 \> *lov* RNAi, essentially no defects in the parameters measured were detected: larvae grew and


in the *lov* knockdown tracheae, we quantitated a 50% increase in cell number for Tr10 over Tr9 ([Fig 10](#pone.0160233.g010){ref-type="fig"}). This quantitation probably underestimates the increase in cell number in Tr10. In *lov* knockdown DTs, the region posterior to Tr10 containing the smallest cells is almost always damaged such that its boundary with Tr10 is obscured. We therefore delineated the region we called Tr10 conservatively and thus probably excluded some Tr10 cells from our calculations.

Sir Alexander Matthew Busby, CBE, KCSG (26 May 1909 – 20 January 1994) was a Scottish football player and manager, who managed Manchester United between 1945 and 1969 and again for the second half of the 1970–71 season. He was the first manager of an English team to win the European Cup and is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time.

Before going into management, Busby was a player for two of Manchester United's greatest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool. During his time at City, Busby played in two FA Cup Finals, winning one of them. After his playing career was interrupted by the Second World War, Busby was offered the job of assistant coach at Liverpool, but they were unwilling to give him openssl.verify.mode: ""

A universal consensus is yet to be reached on the etiology and pathogenesis of TES but many theories have been proposed. Coelomic Metaplasia explains a pathologic stimulus could induce mesothelial cells to differentiate into endometrial cells due to the common embryonic origin of both cell lines \[[@bib0040]\]. The migration theory suggests the migration of endometrial tissue implants from the uterus through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity \[[@bib0055]\]. Micro-embolization theory explains the lymphogenous spread of endometrial tissue emboli from the uterine cavity to the lungs \[[@bib0055]\]. Finally, Sampson's theory - which states that retrograde


menstruation causes intraperitoneal spilling of endometrial cells and subsequent adhesion to the peritoneal surface \[[@bib0060]\].

TES presents as any of 4 distinct clinical entities: catamenial pneumothorax (CP), catamenial hemothorax (CH), catamenial hemoptysis (CHt) and lung nodules \[[@bib0020],[@bib0025]\].

51 years after Star Trek: The Original Series first aired on U.S. American TV, Star Trek: Discovery is updating the franchise for the 21st century. Like TOS was in the 60s, Discovery is firmly rooted in the zeitgeist and current political climate—a fact that has led to surprising amount of backlash from some corners of the fandom. Thanks to the advantage of streaming platforms over network television, the series is also updating the largely episodic structure of the earlier installments to a morethe pressure on Bravo, who was forced to save twice and watch another shot go just over the bar in a 10-minute spell.

Sociedad pulled one back when Agruirretxe beat Gerard Pique and passed the ball across the goalmouth for Alberto de la Bella to tap into goal past a stranded Victor Valdes in the 64th.

"One of our starting premises was not to allow them to score in the first few minutes, which is something we've done in other years, and look what happened," said de la Bella. "Playing like this in the Camp Nou makes it very difficult for us."

In the 76th minute, Messi dribbled past three defenders before crossing to Bartra who flicked the ball into goal to complete the rout.

An interrogation of cognitive findings in pediatric obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.
Current findings in the field of psychology have led to increased interest and a new conceptualization of disorders characterized by repetitive behaviors, namely the obsessive compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs). Scant research, however, has sought to collect and categorize the extant research on pediatric OCRDs. Particularly, no adequate review of the pediatric cognitive literature existed until now, despite the clear implication of abnormalities in neuroanatomical structures and cognitive functioning in adult samples. While evidence for cognitive dysfunction in pediatric samples is presented, this paper also suggests that differences in cognitive dysfunction may indeed exist between adults and youth with OCRDs. Specifically, those irregularities present in said youth at varying developmental stages may impact the origination and maintenance ofin U.S. Pat. No. 5,795,322. Other devices rely on the principles of the Archimedes-type screw, such as a one-piece solid machined screw to break up and/or remove clot.
In many instances, the luminal treatment techniques include infusing the vessel or treatment site with fluid (saline or a thrombolytic agent) to assist in breaking up the clot or tissue into a particle size that can then be aspirated through a lumen of the treatment device or using a secondary catheter hooked up to a source of vacuum/suction. Depending on the method of fragmentation and the consistency of the clot or tissue, the particle size can vary. If the material is not thoroughly fragmented, the larger particles can build up in the catheter and block the aspiration lumen.

Preparation of cannulated skeletal muscle arterioles {#s2e}
----------------------------------------------------

Isolation of the skeletal (gracilis) muscle arterioles of the rat and diameter measurement of the arterioles were performed as described earlier [@pone.0078184-Lizanecz1]. The internal diameters of the cannulated skeletal muscle (m. gracilis) arterioles were determined at the midpoint of the arteriolar segment by videomicroscopy. Cannulated arterioles were incubated in a physiological solution (PSS, composition in mM: 110 NaCl, 5.0 KCl, 2.5 CaCl~2~, 1.0 MgSO~4~, 1.0 KH~2~PO~4~, 5.0 glucose and 24.0 NaHCO~3~ equilibrated with a gas mixture of 10% O~2~ and 5% CO~2~, 85% N~2~, at pH 7.4.). Experiments were started after the development of a spontaneous tone in response to intraluminal pressure of 80 mmHg. First, acetylcholine (1 nM--10 µM) was used to determine dilatativereceptor sensitivity or (ii) a difference in TRPV1 receptor density in skin and skeletal muscle arterioles as been concluded by Fernandes et al [@pone.0078184-Fernandes1]. As the matter of the first hypothesis a recent study designed to detect pharmacological differences between TRPV1 populations in the sensory nerves and in the arteriolar smooth muscle proved that these TRPV1 populations are pharmacologically different: some TRPV1 agonists were irritative (a measure of sensory neuronal TRPV1 activation), but without vasoconstrictive effects [@pone.0078184-Czikora1]. Capsaicin evoked vasoconstriction was mediated by direct activation of arteriolar smooth muscle located TRPV1 and was missing in TRPV1 knock out mice, suggesting that both the irritation (sensory neuronal response) and vasoconstriction (smooth muscle response) are mediated by TRPV1 [@pone.0078184-Czikora1]. As the matter of the second hypothesis (different expression of TRPV1


in perivascular nerves) a clear tissue specific difference was described. Arteries in the skin were densely innervated by TRPV1 positive fibers, in contrast with arteries in the skeletal muscle [@pone.0078184-Kark1]. This fact suggests that sensory neuron mediated dilation plays a dominant role in the skin upon TRPV1 stimulation, but may have a limited effect in the skeletal muscle.

TRPV1 was found to be important in inflammation affecting arteriolar diameter. The most prominent contribution of TRPV1 stimulation to the neurogenic inflammation is the local release of neuropeptides (such as CGRP and substance P) from the sensory neurons [@pone.0078184-Zygmunt1], which is missing in capsaicin desensitized rats [@pone.0078184-Szolcsanyi1]. However, it was found recently, that TRPV1 stimulation also increases the plasma concentration of PACAP-38, an anti-inflammatory peptide [@pone.0078184-Helyes1], and somatostatin [@pone.0078184-Helyes2] suggesting aother kind of neuropathies result in a decrease in TRPV1 expressing sensory neurons, mediating vasodilation. As a result, patients with diabetes may have an impaired regulation of blood flow leading to the dominance of smooth muscle TRPV1 mediated vasoconstrictions over the physiological sensory neuronal TRPV1 mediated vasodilations. This altered vascular response may contribute to the progression of the disease in the skin.

The apparent difference between sensory neurons and vascular smooth muscle cells in response to high capsaicin stimulation (desensitization) described in this work may be explained by at least two mechanisms. First, vascular smooth muscle cells are able to proliferate, therefore the seriously damaged TRPV1 expressing cells may be replaced. Alternatively, capsaicin damage is less severe in vascular smooth muscle cells compared to sensory neurons. To test this


item whose
price is numCoins coinTypes while minimizing the amount of coins he has after receiving the change.
Can someone suggest the pseudocode for the body of this function to get the correct resulting change to
minimize the resulting number of coins?  Optimization would be nice to, but first how to get it working?
I'm really stuck here.  Here I've written the starting code in C++, but the problem is language-independent.
#include <iostream>
#include <array>
#include <algorithm>

enum CoinType {A, B, C, D, E, NumCoinTypes};

struct Currency {
    std::array<int, NumCoinTypes> coins;
    Currency (int a, int b, int c, int d, int e) : coins ({a,b,c,d,e}) {}
    void print() const {
        for (int x : coins) std::cout << x <<' ';
        std::cout << "  total coins = " << std::accumulate (coins.begin(), coins.end(), 0) << '\n';
    }
};

    struct Value { int numCoins;  CoinType coinType; };
    Value value;

    Currency currency(a,b,c,d,e);

v, the amount for which you want to make change (e.g., in the example I gave above, v = 30). n[i] represents the minimum number of coins needed to make change for value i. We know n[0] = 0, and n[1] = 1 (because there is a 1 cent piece). Then we calculate the other n[i] in order. n[i] = min { n[i-c]+1 where c is a coin in the set}. So in the example {1, 10, 25}, we have n[2] = min {n[2-1]+1} = 2, n[3] = min {n[3-1]+1} = 3, n[4] = min{n[4-1]+1} = 4, ..., n[9] = 9, and n[10] = min {n[10-1]+1, n[10-10]+1} = min {10,1} = 1, ... . Once you have n[v], you work backwards, figuring out which coin c results ininequitable in holding them liable for the resulting injury. The doctrine of comparative negligence does not mandate abandonment of joint and several liability. In fact, a majority of other jurisdictions considering the issue have retained joint and several liability. See Schwartz, Comparative Negligence, § 16.4, p 93 (Supp 1978)."
The particular issue in the instant case involves the applicability of the Michigan contribution statute. This statute provides that the release of one of two or more joint tortfeasors discharges the party released from all liability for contribution and reduces the claim against the remaining party by the amount of the release or the amount of the settlement. MCL 600.2925d; MSA 27A.2925(4). If the statute had been applied in the instant case, plaintiff's damages would have been reduced in the


to become stricter about rejecting papers that don't conform to the policy, and apply pressure to the editors of journals that haven't yet adopted it.

But it seems that peer reviewers will have to shoulder some responsibilities as well. It's their job to provide a scientific vetting, and they're best positioned to identify when a trial registration is too vague to be valuable or describes experiments that wind up being at odds with the eventual publication. The journals could obviously help them by requiring that reviewers get trial registration information from the authors and instructing them to compare the registration with the results, but, ultimately, the reviewers will have to follow through.

SystemVerilog: How come the enum next() method cannot be used in a constant function?

I have a package containing a number of packed-struct typedefs and I am trying to write a CONSTANT function to tell me the maximum bit width of these structs. Each struct has an explicit message_type which is enumerated. I believe the below function I have written should be interpreted by the compiler as constant, but I am getting the error "(vlog-2118) The function 'get_max_message_length' is not a valid constant function" (this is in ModelSim).
Can anyone tell me why this function is not constant? After debugging I have determined that it is the enum method 'next()' that is causing it to be interpreted wrong. Any possible alternate solutions? Thank you in advance!

have held that in order to qualify for a
departure under this section a defendant must be suffering from some-
thing greater than "emotional problems," United States v. Gentry, 925
F.2d 186, 188 (7th Cir. 1991), or "hardship," United States v.
Johnson, 979 F.2d 396, 401 (6th Cir. 1992). A defendant must also
demonstrate that his or her "significantly reduced mental capacity"
bears a causal relationship to the crime. United States v. Goossens, 84
F.3d 697, 702 (4th Cir. 1996); see also United States v. Sammoury,
74 F.3d 1341, 1345-46 (D.C. Cir. 1996); Gentry , 925 F.2d at 188.
This causal connection must consist of more than an emotional weak-
ness that leaves one open to suggestion. Rather, in order to qualify for
a diminished capacity departure, a defendant must show an inability
"to process information or to reason." Goossens,Increased iron content in the putamen of patients with striatonigral degeneration.
We measured the total content of iron, copper, zinc and manganese in the putamen of four patients with striatonigral degeneration (SND) and age- and gender-matched normal controls. The iron content in the SND patients was five times greater than in the controls. Electron microscopic histochemistry revealed the iron reaction products in the pigments showing a triphasic pattern of coarse, electron-dense globules, fine granular and fibrillary materials, and lamellated structures. These findings suggest that increased iron deposition may be related to pigment formation in the putamen of SND.


Hydraulic demolition, also known as hydro-demolition, is a well-known art practiced by forcing an erosive material, generally a liquid such as water, through nozzles at sufficiently high pressure to produce a jet stream that disintegrates the materials of which buildings and structures are made thereby deconstructing the structural surface.
The term “structural surface” as used herein includes vertical walls, angled walls, curved walls, and any type of structural surface regardless of orientation or function that is amenable to having an opening cut therein by the apparatus and method disclosed below.
The terms “cut,” “cutting,” and “deconstructing” are used interchangeably herein to refer to the use of hydro-demolition technology to remove constituent material from a structural surface.
“Work-face” is used herein to refer to the area of a structural surface that isselectively switching between the low-beam and high-beam light-distribution patterns, beam emission in a fog-lamp light-distribution pattern, and the like.

Q:

Concatenate Numpy arrays with least memory

Not I have 50GB dataset saved as h5py, which is a dictionary inside. The dictionary contains keys from 0 to n, and the values are numpy ndarray(3 dimension) which have the same shape. For example:
dictionary[0] = np.array([[[...],[...]]...])
I want to concat all these np arrays, code like
sample = np.concatenate(list(dictionary.values))

this operation waste 100GB memory! If I use
del dictionary

It will decrease to 50GB memory. But I want to control the memory usage as 50GB during loading data. Another way I tried like this
    sample = np.concatenate(sample,dictionary[key])

It is still using 100GB memory. I think all the cases above, the right side will create a new memory block to save, and then assigned to the left side, which will double the memory during calculations. Thus,bringing usually colder waters to the surface.

The resulting density (mostly controlled by temperature in these systems, but sometimes affected by salinity in areas with river influences) shows a strong horizontal gradient. A strong horizontal gradient in density is the definition of strong baroclinicity. That strong gradient can even be visible in a temperature front when the thermocline reaches the surface (SST image below).
Additionally, the density gradient can establish a thermal wind balance that results in a coastal upwelling current jet flowing in the same direction of the wind. The horizontal gradient in density is proportional to the vertical gradient in velocity
$\mathrm{{\delta\rho\over\delta x} \propto {\delta v\over\delta z}}$ . As velocity is zero at the bottom, this results in a strong velocity near the surface. This


related to the number of children their husbands/communities expected them to have. Some women secretly obtained birth control in order to shelter their families from the economic hardships that they would face with having more and more children. In some cases, their husbands would begin to suspect this and abuse them or use it as an excuse to have extra-marital affairs with other women (often bringing home sexually transmitted infections or HIV). In many settings, women bear the brunt of raising families. As a result their individual health is extraordinarily important to the health of an individual female’s family as well as community.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture was created in the 1860s. By the 1890s, the USDA was beginning to become involved in livestock inspections. In 1905, the U.S. government had a call to action when Upton Sinclair polemic against unsanitary working conditions at the expansive Chicago stockyards was published as a magazine serial. This became a national issue in part because the millions of animals were slaughtered and processed each year were distributed via

Some time during the summer months of 2005, R.J. Conley observed union pamphlets in the company parking lot and informed his father of that fact. Additionally, R.J. "heard employees talking about a Union around the workplace" and "probably" disclosed that information to his father as well. Nevertheless, no overt efforts at unionization of the Conley Trucking drivers occurred until October 2005, when Teamsters organizer Rick Kepler *633 met at an area restaurant with drivers Jeremy Thompson, Ata Thunderdance, Roger Rosenogle, and Dan Gulliver. A second meeting organized by Kepler convened at a Lucasville fast-food establishment on Sunday, October 23, 2005, and was attended by Thompson, Thunderdance, Rosenogle, Gulliver, Tim Gilbert, and Stevetap and additional care that could not be provided in an office setting. Once Gilbert's wife was readmitted to the hospital, Gilbert and his daughter drove to Conley Trucking so that Gilbert could receive his weekly paycheck. Gilbert was handed an envelope by Holden, an envelope that Gilbert discovered contained not only his paycheck but also a notice that he had been terminated from his employment due to his "Absenteeism/Tardiness."
According to one of the affidavits provided by Thompson, anti-union comments continued to be made by Conley Trucking management officials after Gilbert's termination. For example, Thompson stated in one affidavit:
About 1 week to 1.5 weeks after Gilbert was fired I was at the shop. About 4 or 5 other drivers were there. Roger Rosenogle was there. Dave Jordan, a


and I opened my coat to show him that I did not. Delmas said that he would fight the Union and would shut the company down. He said that if we stopped right now, no one would lose their jobs, but if it didn't stop right now, we would all lose our jobs. Delmas said that he would shut the company down if we unionized. He said he would use scab labor. . . . Delmas said that the Union was good years ago, but was not worth a fuck now. Delmas said that he would fire anyone he wanted and that he owned the company and could do anything he wanted anytime and that no one short of the President of the United States could tell himthan the slightest amount of other evidence,'" the administrative law judge determined that the affidavits should be admitted as substantive evidence to be evaluated and weighed in the same manner as other non-hearsay testimony.

In so ruling, the administrative law judge explained the rationale for his decision as follows:
[W]hile mindful that Board proceedings are to follow the F[ederal] R[ules of] *636 E[vidence] "so far as practical," in my view federal labor policy concerns would render decidedly impractical adherence to an evidentiary rule that precluded the administrative law judge from having discretion to substantively consider these pretrial affidavits.

In doing so, the administrative law judge concluded that "Thompson's testimony at the hearing was thoroughly untruthful." Id. at *4. Nevertheless, he refused to view all contrary evidence as necessarily credible and worthy of belief; instead, the administrative law judge required corroboration of the allegations made in Thompson's affidavits before allowing those statements to serve as substantive evidence made against Conley Trucking.
As a result, the administrative law judge recommended dismissal of some charges brought against the trucking company and *637 found violations of the Act in other circumstances.

In its request for relief, Conley Trucking asks "that the Board's decision be vacated in its entirety and the complaint of the General Counsel be dismissed." As noted by the Board and by general counsel, however, Conley Trucking failed to present proper objections before the Board to some of the administrative law judge's conclusions and recommendations. Indeed, the company's exceptions to the administrative law judge's finding "that [it] violated Sec. 8(a)(1) of the Act by threatening employees that bargaining with the Union would start from zero" fail "to allege with any degree of particularity . . .

R.J. Conley also confirmed during his testimony that his father told company employees that if they "wanted more control over the business . . . they could buy and drive their own trucks instead of Unionize," and "added that he would sell them a truck and would, in fact, sell them his entire business." In addition, Delmas Conley himself admitted at the administrative hearing that he made comments to the employees about "outsiders running [the] company" and that he would sell his trucks and his business to the workers if they desired.e.g., Alvin J. Bart and Co.; Bay Refrigeration Corp.; or (5) testimony that was subject to cross-examination in a prior trial or that was sworn to before a grand jury, see, e.g., De Sisto v. United States, 329 F.2d 929 (2d Cir.1964).
Conley Trucking's argument in this regard is, however, unpersuasive. The fact that prior decisions allowing hearsay testimony as substantive evidence have, to-date, fallen into neat pigeonholes does not mean that other scenarios are not possible or legally supportable. This court, for instance, has stated broadly that administrative law judges are "not obliged to strictly adhere to the Federal Rules of Evidence." 3750 Orange Place Ltd. P'ship, 333 F.3d at 666. Similarly, the Seventh Circuit, discussing the relevant provision of 29 U.S.C. § 160(b), recognized that "[t]he Board

What we are left with is that Gilbert was not a stellar employee, who, with his drinking incident, two driving mishaps, poor (but not as bad as many others) attendance, and an abysmal record of missed loads worked steadily without incident until the employer learned (and unlawful[ly] discussed with Thompson) that Gilbert was involved with union activities. Only then was he fired, ostensibly *644 for absenteeism, later expanded to encompass any and all other shortcomings, real or invented for litigation. The Act protects both stellar and poor employees, and those in between, from unlawfully motivated discharge. The salient truth is that Gilbert's * @param url The validated url for the loading page.

manual work.

It is also easy to configure python on CI (like travis).

If you want automatic python installation, try looking on JetBrain’s python-envs plugin. But be careful because it has some caveats (for example, on windows python could be installed automatically just once and requires manual un-installation).

Travis configuration

To make plugin work on travis you’ll need sudo and install pip manually:

Usage

Module format is: name:version (will mean name==version in pip notion). Non strict version definition is not allowed (for obvious reasons). Dependencies are installed in declaration order. If duplicate declaration specified then only the latest declaration will be used:

python.pip 'module1:2.0', 'module2:1.0', 'module1:1.0'

Will install version 1.0 of module1 because it was the latest declaration.

Dependencies are installed with pipInstall task which is called before any declared PythonTask.

Virtualenv

When you declare any pip modules, plugingo away.posted by fshgrl at 11:48 AM on July 12, 2012 [7 favorites]

You've talked to the dog owner and you've talked to the landlord. There's nothing passive aggressive about calling the police. Take your phone outside with you when you take your dogs out and if he lets his dogs out call the police/animal control.

Also, I don't see why you need to move just because of this. Keep calling the police and eventually the dogs won't be let out off-leash. True, you may have a neighbor that hates you but unless he is crazy and tries to be aggressive himself its not the end of the world.posted by mikepop at 11:48 AM on July 12, 2012 [1 favorite]

Call animal control, because seriously, fuck irresponsible pet owners who can


not saying that means you shouldn't do it, nor am I saying that the neighbor would be right to do that, but I am saying that as you consider the pros and cons, one vote in favor of making another effort to resolve it informally is that as long as you also have problematic dogs, your situation as far as making official complaints is a bit more tricky than it otherwise would be. Because I have to say, while having dogs run up to your dogs and scare them kind of stinks, so does having a neighbor's dogs bark and bark.

Again, not blaming you just encouraging you to think about all the possible ramifications of deciding you're going to go strict-compliance with the neighbor. Not saying you shouldn'tAM on July 12, 2012 [3 favorites]

If the dogs are in his yard, and they are non-aggressive, then I have to agree with fshgrl that you need to try to make this work more before detonating the nuclear option (Animal Control). Is there a fence of any kind? Would your neighbor be amenable to a play-pen sort of situation?

I'm no fan of unleashed dogs, and I think your neighbor is probably an idiot, but depending on how your yard and duplex are structured, you might be able to work something out.posted by ablazingsaddle at 11:59 AM on July 12, 2012 [1 favorite]

I agree that I wasn't clear because I did not ask outright when I first spoke to him. But I asking the landlord should have been at


dogs all the time, if I know who the owner is. My dog isn't particularly fearful of other dogs, but they are still a nuisance and it's incredibly unsafe (for themselves!) for them to be running around.posted by muddgirl at 12:06 PM on July 12, 2012 [1 favorite]

Call animal control for the sake of your neighbor's dogs. If you really feel you need to, you can tell your landlord or the neighbor directly that the neighbor's dogs need to be leashed when outdoors since there is no fence or you will call animal control. Just make sure you get an idea of what would happen to the dogs once animal control gets involved. Does the owner get a citation, do the dogs get taken away put in theask him outright to do. Passive-aggressive is picking up your dogs and going inside in a huff because his dogs are out off-leash again, and thinking about calling animal control but not saying to the guy "leash your damn dogs or I'll call animal control." In general, passive-aggressive is not taking action, not being clear, expecting somebody else to figure out what you want done and do it for you.posted by headnsouth at 12:44 PM on July 12, 2012 [9 favorites]

The beginning of that last paragraph isn't clear. It's not passive-aggressive to call animal control after dealing directly with the guy, and involving the landlord directly, and having his dogs remain off-leash.posted by headnsouth at 12:47 PM on July 12, 2012

I have a really hard time dealing with


your dogs protection and his, especially if his dogs are gallivanting through the neighborhood.

Yes it would be nice if you could have some non-territorial bonding between the dogs, at a neutral location like the park, but from what it sounds like with this neighbor, that won't exactly be an option.

I've called Animal Control on my neighbor before, and I'm pretty sure he would have known it was me. He left his dogs out all day and all night most of the time, and even though the yard was fenced in they barked constantly out of boredom (they were Blue Heelers, so way to smart and energetic to be left alone outside all day long with no stimulation). It was annoying all the time, but one day one ofit comes to things like this. It's not that you weren't clear enough, it's just that your interpretations of what constitutes a clear request may differ.posted by Rock Steady at 1:13 PM on July 12, 2012

BTW... I do not think that you are overacting. You rearranged your set up because your dogs were causing an inconvenience to him as a courtesy. I would expect him to do the same.posted by Quincy at 1:16 PM on July 12, 2012

I don't know if they bark during the day as I'm not home and neither is he, but I do keep them away from things like open windows so they can't see outside. The are confined to a side of the house where the windows are closed and shades are down


let out once recently, it ould have been an oversight. However, if it happens again, don't screw around with your neighbor. You've talked to him and you've talked to the landlord--I wouldn't bother doing it again--sounds like a case of nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. What he's doing is illegal as well as inconsiderate. I'm sure you don't really want to watch his dogs get into a fight or get hit by a car. Call animal control and ask them to patrol your area.

Good on you for training your dogs and trying to control the barking issue!posted by BlueHorse at 1:22 PM on July 12, 2012

and retinal sensitivity 6 months after the treatment and at the final visit. On the other hand, Hasegawa et al[@b9-opth-10-1305] reported that the final decimal visual acuity varied from 0.3--1.2 after ME resolution even with an intact EZ line at the central fovea. Thus, they concluded that the presence of an intact EZ line at the central fovea may not be a good indicator of the visual recovery.

Kriechbaum et al[@b28-opth-10-1305] reported that the functional parameters, such as the BCVA, presence and size of a scotoma, and overall macular sensitivity were significantly associated with the morphologic OCT findings after anti-VEGF therapy for ME secondary to RVO. In their study, the CRT and mean retinal thickness had an important impact on the BCVA. They reported that the microperimetry outcomes hadof undetectable EZ in the eleven eyes which did not have ME resolution. In addition, the PROS length was manually measured by the caliper function with the built-in software, and the measurements of PROS length may be susceptible to measurement errors because the length is relatively short compared to that of the other layers.[@b32-opth-10-1305]

The retinal sensitivity was significantly improved at 1, 3, and 6 months and at the final visit compared with the baseline. Mylonas et al[@b13-opth-10-1305] evaluated the microperimetry changes in the retinal sensitivities in patients with acute ME secondary to BRVO during a follow-up period of 12 months with intravitreal ranibizumab treatment. The retinal sensitivity improved significantly under therapy from 9.47 dB at baseline to 12.53 dB at 12 months which is consistent with our results.

Shadow Over Gotham

In fact, the whole film acts as a condemnation of vigilante justice. Batman is particularly bad at fighting the idea of crime. Sure, a transforming car and mad ninja skills are useful in a fight, but using these powers in the dark, without the rule of law or open conduct as a masked dictator (Batman is explicitly compared to Caesar) does nothing to support society and only feeds into the Joker’s plans. The Joker has an unlimited number of minions (including within the police department), Batman limits himself to a handful of allies. Batman inspires no one but idiots in hockey pads and the Joker himself, while the Joker brings out the worst in criminals, the general populace, and most obviously, in Gotham’s best defender, HarveyFS: Energy Take 5 with sub and stands
