Q:

Microsoft.Bot.Builder.CognitiveServices.QnAMaker.QnAMakerDialog How to override not found?

I'm working with QnAMakerDialog and cannot figure out how to override the "not found". I am able to override RespondFromQnAMakerResultAsync but that is not called when no answer is found. I tried setting the default message to null or empty string but then QnAMakerDialog automatically response "No match found!" when it doesn't find a match!
I don't want a message when no match is found because I'm just forwarding the message to a LuisDialog. How do I stop this message!!!
Side note: I understand that some Gary guy has a different version of a QnAMakerDialog that does this but I'd really like to just use the standard one from Microsoft. Is this possible?

Foxes is a 1980 American  coming of age drama film directed by Adrian Lyne from a screenplay written by Gerald Ayres. The film stars Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Sally Kellerman, Randy Quaid, and Cherie Currie. It revolves around a group of teenage girls coming of age in suburban Los Angeles toward the end of the disco era.

Foxes was theatrically released on February 29, 1980, by PolyGram Pictures.
The film was Foster's penultimate major film appearance before taking a sabbatical from acting to attend Yale. It also marked the acting and directing debuts of Currie and Lyne, respectively. It received several positive reviews from critics and was a moderate box office success grossing $7,470,348 in North America. The film has attained a cult status and is often cited

of positive charges centered at the interpenetrating lattice which will be defined later. The average number of electrons per site $n$ is fixed such that the whole system is neutral. Electrons hopping between all n.n orbitals feel a potential arising from the extra positive charges and the electron-electron repulsion. The diagonal energies $\epsilon _{i}$ in Eq. (1) will result here from a self-consistent calculation involving the Coulomb energy due to the charges at the positive and negative interpenetrating lattices. This is the main contribution of this paper to the study of magnetic coupling between layers. The Coulomb interaction, which is the most relevant ingredient in the model, takes the following form: $$\begin{aligned}
  H_{Coul} &=&-\sum_{i,l}\frac{e^{2}n_{i}q_{l}}{\epsilon ~\left\vert
      R_{i}-R_{l}\right\vert }+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i\neq j}

In this paper we focus on the CT effects on the separator (planes $i=13$ to $ 26$). To study the magnetization in these planes we define first $ S_{zi}=(n_{i\uparrow}-n_{i\downarrow})$ the magnetic polarization at each PM plane. We show the effect of $Q_{int}$ on the magnetization inside the PM displaying $S_{zi}$ as function of $i$ for the antiferromagnetic arrangements (Fig. \[fig3\](a)) of the FF layers. We observe that the amplitude of the oscillations of $S_{zi}$ at the interface increases with $Q_{int}$ while the opposite occurs far from the interface, a change of sign of $S_{zi}$ occurs for different values of $ Q_{int}$ as one can observe in Fig. \[fig3\](a).

\[mart\] For all $\beta>0$ and for all continuous and positive functions $f$ with compact support, the quantity $A^{\beta,M} (f)$ is finite, different from zero, and does not depend on the choice of $M > 0$ such that $f=0$ outside the interval $[-M,M]$; therefore, we can write: $A^{\beta} (f) := A^{\beta,M} (f)$. Moreover, for all $s \geq0$, the density $D^{\beta}_s$ of the restriction& = & \bigl| \bigl(e^{\rho s} \widetilde
{\Phi}^s (\psi) - \langle \psi| e_0 \rangle e_0 \bigr) (l)\bigr|

\langle \psi| e_0 \rangle e_0 \bigr\Vert _{L^2(\nu)} \\
&\mathop{\longrightarrow}\limits_{s \rightarrow\infty} &
0.\end{aligned}$$ By applying this convergence to $\chi_v$, one obtains the pointwise (and in fact uniform) convergence (\[833\]).

Now, it remains to prove (\[832\]).

For $s \geq1$, $l > 0$, by (\[38\]) and (\[79\]), $$\begin{aligned}

J_l (u,v) = [\widetilde{\Phi}^{u-1} (J_{\bullet} (1,v)) ](l).$$ Moreover, by (\[831\]), $$J_{l} (1,v) \leq C e^{-2.9v} v^{-1/2} e^{-l^2/8(1+v)},$$ which

Further, even when it is done by the same operator, the same result may not be reproduced if the operator does not have a clear standard for his or her determination of the selection and/or the drawing. Particularly, as mentioned above, the case of scoliosis may require the once-a-month follow-up of the bow scale of the spine. Therefore, the reproducibility should be kept and is a very important factor for the diagnosis of the scoliosis.

Your plan is good, however I would suggest not tying up a dedicated thread waiting for the work to be done. Switching from a new ManualResetEvent(false) to a new SemephoreSlim(0,1) will let you use WaitAsync() which would allow you to use async/await in your Do method and freeing up the thread to do other work. (UPDATE: This really should be a TaskCompletionSource instead of a Semaphore Slim, but I will not update this example, see the 2nd part below)
public async Task<bool> Do(int input)
{
    using(var completion = new new SemephoreSlim(0,1))

  in great detail. For example, literally no information is given on how the ship interior was designed.

The ship is exhibited in a theme park called Ark Encounter, the total cost of the park, complete with the ship was some $120 million, according to Haaretz.

The aim of the project is to "convince visitors that the world was created less than 6,000 years ago, that Noah was 600 years old when the flood took place, that he spent 70 years building the ark and that 6,744 animals belonging to 1,398 species were on the vessel," Haaretz reports. According to the report, the founders got these precise numbers after performing calculations using information contained in the Book of Genesis.

It is unclear how the founders aim to prove their point, as it


clearly took much less than 70 years to construct the replica, finished two years ago. The exhibition inside the vessel includes animatronic interactive figures of every animal believed to have been saved by Noah, including, well, dinosaurs.

According to the proprietors of Ark Encounter, dinosaurs lived on Earth less than 6,000 years ago, along with people.

However, there are problems with the project besides mere matters of science/religion debate. According to Tri-State Freethinkers, a Kentucky atheist organization, the entire project is riddled with controversy.

First, they point out that it is inappropriate to build a theme park around a tale of genocide, murder and incest.

"It is not a cute story, it is a horrible story. This is a story of genocide and incest. God killed everybody," says Jim Hunt from theFor indispensable reporting on the coronavirus crisis, the election, and more, subscribe to the Mother Jones Daily newsletter.

During a news conference on Thursday, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said the process to dismantle Obamacare will include stripping all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, but he did not provide much further detail.

His remarks come two days after a Republican-led House investigative panel released a report that recommended the health care provider be defunded. The investigative panel—created to examine allegations that Planned Parenthood was selling fetal tissue for profit—was then disbanded, because it was not reauthorized for a new Congress. Planned Parenthood was never found guilty of any wrongdoing at the state or federal level, despite multiple GOP-led investigations.

Democrats immediately denounced the move. “I just would like to speak individually

2. Description of the Related Art
Dynamic random access memory (DRAM), for example, DDR1/2/3 and GDDR3/4, usually performs a core operation using a main clock signal and interfaces with a memory controller using a data strobe signal. In other words, data is transmitted in synchronization with the data strobe signal. The main operation of the core operation is accessing a memory cell array, i.e., a core of the DRAM, that is, writing data to or reading data from the memory cell array. At this time, the main clock signal and the data strobe signal have the


same frequency. Therefore, when data is transmitted at a rising edge and a falling edge of the data strobe signal, the data is transmitted at a double data rate (DDR) with respect to the main clock signal. When a semiconductor apparatus operates in a DDR mode, a data interface speed is two times faster than a core speed.
With the development of high-speed graphics and games and the increase in speed of the memory controller, it is desired to increase the data interface speed of the semiconductor apparatus, e.g., DRAM. However, since it is very difficult to increase the speed due to the structure of the core circuit in the DRAM, there is a limit to increasing the frequency of the main clock signal. For this reason, only theBiographies

Wanting to have a family and discovering it is difficult can be devastating for couples – but with the advances in technology and medicine, more are turning to fertility clinics to undergo in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive techniques. Costs for undergoing such procedures in the United States can be astronomical – and many families can’t afford the high costs and drawn out process.

Turning to fertility clinics around the world makes it possible to have a family – fertility specialists and health care professionals are highly educated and experienced – at a fraction of the cost of IVF or other procedures done in the United States.

India Medical Tourism has a success record when it comes to helping couples have children. Patients are provided with numerous services, including:

going to marry this guy, and he’s totally trashing himself.” (Which, by the way, was not true, but you know how Satan loves to deceive us!) I failed to heed Ephesians 4:26, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” I failed to heed Romans 12:19, which teaches clearly, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.” Why? Because only God can mete out vengeance and still retain his righteousness… because only God is perfectly just and holy.

For humans, vengeance is a beautiful, poison apple that—if eaten—will plunge the victim into a sleep of death. In fact, for twenty-five years I felt like Snow WhiteMap<Long/*uid*/, DefaultRole> uid2Role = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();

statute did not empower the Department of Health to determine whether the ordinance was in compliance with the enabling legislation under which the ordinance was enacted.

We need not and do not decide under what circumstances this provision of section 15 of the Illinois Nursing Home Act might apply. It suffices to say that these actions presented, respectively, an administrative review proceeding and a "justiciable matter" over which section 9 of article VI of the Constitution of 1870 vested the circuit court with jurisdiction. Clearly under section 7 of article VI, the appellate court also had jurisdiction.

In the administrative review action the circuit court held that the Chicago Nursing Home Ordinance violated section 15 of the Illinois Nursing Home Act and was invalid for the reason that it failedinvalid.

Much of the appellate court opinion and substantial portions of the briefs of the parties are directed to the question whether the ordinance provided sufficient standards for the Chicago Board of Health in adopting rules and regulations. Because we hold the ordinance invalid for failure to comply with section 15 of the Illinois Nursing Home Act we do not reach this issue.

The judgment of the appellate court is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.

MR. JUSTICE SCHAEFER, dissenting:

The severely literal interpretation of the statute, which requires that a municipal ordinance incorporate literally or by reference the standards of the State Department of Public Health, is not a necessary interpretation. The State Department may well have interpreted the word "ordinance" to include the regulations of the municipal board of health adopted pursuant to the

is, in theory, a recovery mechanism, but it’s one that feels incredibly dull to watch and gives no outplay satisfaction. It’s very easy for matches that should be exciting to end up feeling like a PVE endeavor, where it becomes a question of properly closing for the early game team and one of waiting for the one outscaling.

When balancing issues that regard the competitive scene, keeping the game engaging and fun to watch should be at the forefront of priorities. Both from a perspective of entertainment and actual competition, ganking looks like the main mechanic that should be encouraged to punish pushing lanes.

What this means is that we must be looking at how the jungle works when we look to balance the strength of pushing champions. While otherachieved with Mad Lion’s pushing botlane and a stronger jungling duelist, where the roaming from Falco would be very hard to punish.

It can only be concluded that, in the aforementioned scenario of drafting three pushing lanes, the consequences would be direr than ever before for the enemy team. By nerfing the main counterplay to shoving waves under the turret, Riot has tilted the metagame further in favor of the very champions they were nerfing.

The PCR detected 15 CL cases in which the diagnosis was neither clinically nor histologically suspected. Leishmaniasis was confirmed in seven suspected patients in whom the classical techniques failed to detect the parasite. L. infantum was identified in all cases. A systematic review of CL cases in GLUO patients from European countries identified 45 reported cases. In L. infantum endemic areas, a high percentage of GLUO are due to Leishmania infection. The main consequences are delayed diagnosis and underestimation of the real incidence. PCR performed on paraffin-embedded tissue proved to be a reliable tool for diagnosis of CL/ML and must be performed routinelytube cuff pressure was measured continuously. Continuous intra-operative cuff pressure measurements only briefly approached critical values at 40 mmHg at the beginning of surgery resulting from spreading of tissues especially during splitting of the sternocleidomastoid muscle compartment and lateral displacement of carotid sheath.

During the further procedure, especially during microdiscectomy, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage fusion and osteosynthetic stabilisation, cuff pressure was not increased.

Hyoid bone appeared unusually large. Otherwise there was no other significant surgical observation that could have led to laryngeal dislocation. The total operating time was 195 min.

Post-operatively, after removal of the drapes, swelling of the left side of the throat became evident. The initial suspicion was a surgery-induced hematoma, but laryngeal structures could be clearly palpated within the swelling, such that intra-operative dislocation of the larynx was probable.


Extubation was therefore postponed and a computed tomography (CT) scan was performed subsequently.

The cervical spine CT scan \[[Figure 1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}\] and 3D reconstruction \[[Figure 2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}\] showed fixation of the right dorsal portion of the overly elongated hyoid bone and the right superior horn of the thyroid cartilage leftward and behind the osteosynthesis plate. This resulted in a leftward dislocation of the entire larynx \[Figures [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"} and [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}\]. Furthermore a large hematoma was ruled out as a cause of swelling in CT scan.

and international exposure Utah would receive from recreating the magic of 2002.

The decision to bid for a future Winter Games comes after the state's Olympic Exploratory Committee unanimously recommended in October that Salt Lake City again go after the worldwide sporting and cultural event. The panel report was sent to the U.S. Olympic Committee, which hasn't decided whether to field an American bid city for 2026.

The Salt Lake Games were widely heralded by the International Olympic Committee and the rest of the sports world as the best-ever Winter Olympics after overcoming both the impact of an international bribery scandal and 9/11.

Although easier and cheaper to manufacture, silver and gold mirrors have a major drawback over dielectric mirrors. Fluorescence is partly quenched by the presence of the metal in its vicinity. In particular, the fluorophores couple to non-radiative surface plasmon (SP) modes of the metallic thin-film through their near-field components [@Barnes2003; @Fort2008]. SPs are transverse collective oscillation modes of the conduction electrons that propagate along the surface of a conductor. They are associated to evanescent electromagnetic (EM) fields which exponentially decay in intensity with increasing surface distance [@Raether1988; @Barnes2003]. The unique properties of SPs fostered numerous technological breakthroughs in optics, optoelectronics [@Ozbay2006; @Barnes2003] and nanosensors [@Anker2008]. In the present work, we applied these concepts to biosensing devices. Our approach is characterized by its simplicity of use and its


namely the squared coefficient of correlation between the experimental distribution of the signal and the fitted Gaussian functions. The relative standard deviation RSD corresponds to the distribution width. The relative constancy of both $R^2$ and $RSD$ for each type of substrate indicates that the presence of the metallic thin film does not affect the signal dispersion on the DNA microarray, at the scale of the microarray-reader spatial resolution ($5~\mu$m). This is of major importance to ensure that both qualitative and quantitative measurements can be performed with high reliability on the silver-coated substrates.

The state Senate on Thursday approved a measure that would gradually raise the minimum wage in California from the current $8 an hour to $13 in 2017, despite warnings from the California Chamber of Commerce that the bill is a “job killer.”

Warning: Gay Left politicians at work!

Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) said his bill is necessary to help lift many of the 7.9 million Californians being paid minimum wage out of poverty. “Income inequality has been spoken of by our president as the defining challenge of our time,” Leno told his colleagues.

He said the current minimum wage is so low it allows many who receive it to get public assistance. “It is our tax dollars that are subsidizing the largest corporations paying these poverty wages.” Leno said.

If there are no such integers, raise ValueError.

The MultSum method loops over the numbers from abs(int(cval / 2)) downwards to abs(int(cval / 2)) - abs(cval * 2). The usual way to loop over numbers in a range in Python is to use the range function. Here you might write something like:
c = abs(cval) // 2 + 1
for factor in range(-c, c + 1):
    # ...

If aval is 1, then FactorQuad prints the two factors on separate lines and returns True, otherwise it prints the two factors on the same line and returns None:

"It's a terrible way to live. You know it doesn't matter how clean you are," he said. Sunrise Manor residents are weary of having to place their belongings in plastic bags and bins because of bedbugs. (CBC)

"Once they come, they're there, and you have to wait for someone to come in and fumigate. And then after they fumigate it's just a matter of a period of time and [the bedbugs are] back."

Housing Nova Scotia's Stephen Richard said it disturbs him to hearearly chapter, Pinker asks us to consider why some verbs are both content- and container-locative. For example, we can say, 'Jared sprayed water on the roses,' and also, 'Jared sprayed the roses with water.' But other verbs only allow one option. You can say, 'Amy poured water into the glass,' but not, 'Amy poured the glass with water.' Why? And how do children learn so quickly what all the exceptions are?

Pinker first suggests there is no rule that explains why some verbs are suitable for locative alternation and others are not, and thus sends us off down a series of grammar-filled psycholinguistic dead ends before revealing that there is in fact a rule that distinguishes 'spray' from 'pour'. One transforms the object and the other does not. But

which are determined by the inherent optical properties of the water column; *R~b~(λ)* depends on substrate composition, but *R~b~*~1~*/R~b~*~2~ is assumed constant across bottom types and the ratio will therefore not vary spatially). Consequently the equation can be used to estimate *d* on a pixel by pixel basis, based on the remotely sensed variable *X*. Bottom reflected radiances *L~b~*~1~ and *L~b~*~2~ are directly derived from image data by extracting pixel digital numbers (DN) for two bands, as the difference and ratio based calculations of the equation slope and intercept make precise knowledge of absolute radiance values unnecessary.

Based on the above theoretical development \[[@B15-sensors-15-25287]\] propose the OBRA method to determine the optimal band ratio that should be used to map bathymetry from passive optical image data. OBRA calculates *X*the range of suitable wavelengths for depth estimates might be limited in the presence of more spectrally distinct substrates. None of their studied sites had an extensive vegetation cover.

2.3. OBRA: Data Collection {#sec2dot3-sensors-15-25287}
--------------------------

Our input for OBRA consists of *in situ* point measurements of submergence depth values and reflectance spectra for three macrophyte species Water Crowfoot, Fennel Pondweed, and Spiked Water Milfoil, collected with a GER1500 hand-held field spectroradiometer. [Figure 1](#sensors-15-25287-f001){ref-type="fig"} shows examples of reflectance data obtained for Water Crowfoot. Hyperspectral resolution reflectance spectra are shown for three different submergence depths (1.5--40 cm). The spectra clearly show how reflectance from the macrophyte cover decreases with depth at variable rates depending on wavelength. Due to limited access to the river and limited availability of specific vegetation species at different depths


The resulting spectral sinuosity was applied across the full image surface, resulting in a mask which was then subtracted from the original image.

For marine environments, models have been developed to remove sunglint from images of water surfaces. They mask glint based on sun-viewing geometry, using surface slope statistics. This approach is not suitable for high resolution data (\<100 m) \[[@B24-sensors-15-25287]\]. In fluvial environments surface topography is dependent on other factors than wind speed, while wind direction in the river channel will be unpredictable. Alternative methods using NIR/VIS differences are also not suitable for this situation as they assume little or no upwelling NIR radiance (e.g., from benthic vegetation) \[[@B24-sensors-15-25287]\]. Instead sunglint is dealt with by excluding the highest DN values from the model calculations. Due to the relativelyregion, where only Water Crowfoot produces R^2^-values of over 0.5 for combinations of green wavelengths. Some of the lowest R^2^-values in this region (655 nm, 670 nm) are associated with chlorophyll absorption. All macrophyte species however still have some wavelength combinations in the VIS range that are significantly (99%) correlated with depth.

the analysis of toxins should be harmonized in order to take into account the changes in toxin concentration \[[@B5-toxins-08-00175]\].

The current protocol for analysis is defined by the EU \[[@B4-toxins-08-00175]\] on the basis of a chromatographic separation with mass spectrometric detection and quantification. The method, given the wide variety of matrices and toxins, is open to fit the technical capabilities of all laboratories, but it has several uncontrolled factors, such as the instrumental technology, a strict need for certified toxin standards, the source and quality of reagents and approaches to perform the analysis such as mass methods, and the toxin solvents and instrument model on toxin quantification, which may render large variations in the final toxin values. We have reported the influence of solvent brands and the use ofwater loss is very small and that toxicity is unaltered, even though we show that DTX3 is destroyed at a certain level by heat, and largely (50%) by sterilization. Another technical aspect to bear in mind, although we have not studied it, is the reduction of water content after frying the flesh for the canning industry, where a 20% loss of water has to be added to the steaming process.

3. Conclusions {#sec3-toxins-08-00175}
==============

In this study, we demonstrate that DTX3 in seafood is destroyed by heat under steaming conditions and that this destruction depends on the matrix environment. Although the total toxicity does not decrease, the sterilization is a stability issue for the toxins and steaming decreases the amount of DTX3. The total toxicity decrease is 50% since OA and


without matrix. The calibration concentration points used were in the range 1.56 to 100 ng/mL and 1.56 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL and no deviations in higher concentrations and in the amount of toxin calculated were reported ([Figure 1](#toxins-08-00175-f001){ref-type="fig"}). The final matrix effect was estimated to be about 2.5 times higher than the methanolic calibration line. The effect was especially high with the highest concentrations. In each analysis, a methanolic and a spiked matrix calibration line were reproduced for calibration purposes.

4.3. Recovery {#sec4dot3-toxins-08-00175}
-------------

The recovery was calculated with three different experiments: Two mussel matrices of known concentration were used, a matrix of certified reference control mussels and a mussel tissue homogenate. The mussel matrices were extracted using the procedure described in the harmonized Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) published by theof House Republican’s earmark ban as it pertains to defense. “Committee level national security decisions” may accessorize that pig for a masquerade ball, but behind that mask is still an undisciplined mass of pork.

F^T \rangle$ denote the magnitude of the vacuum expectation values (vevs) of the F-terms of the dilaton and modulus supermultiplets $S$ and $T$. For simplicity we will assume the presence of a single dominant modulus $T$.\

forming in outflowing material of V1647 Ori have also been observed, but these have a P Cygni profile and a symmetric emission component [@2007ApJ...670L..29B], a different line profile from that of the OH in HD 100546. While we cannot rule out that the ro-vibrational OH lines we observe form in a disk wind that gives rise to a blue-shifted excess, our profile is distinct from the other profiles in the literature attributed to a disk wind.

Secondly, transonic turbulence in the disk (e.g., driven by the magnetorotational instability) produces spatial inhomogeneities in the temperature and density distribution of the disk. If they are large, such inhomogeneities might produce an OH line profile as asymmetric as observed. Simulations by find 1$\sigma$ fluctuations from the mean density of $\sim$10%. A much larger fluctuationcontribution to the line profile. As a result, the lack of smooth continuity between the eccentric inner annulus and the rest of the circular disk does not appreciably affect our line profile.

Discussion {#sec:Discussion}
==========

Massive Companion
-----------------

One possibility for the origin of the eccentricity of the inner disk is tidal interactions with an embedded gas giant planet. When a gas giant planet forms in a disk, tidal interactions between the planet and the disk cause the inner edge of the outer disk to grow eccentric . In these hydrodynamic simulations, the 1:3 Lindblad resonance induces the eccentricity. The 1:2 Lindblad resonance has a damping effect on the generation of the eccentric structure. Thus the gas must be cleared from this region of the disk.

For companion masses greater than q=0.003, where q


One caveat is that if the orbiting planet warms the inner rim of the disk in its vicinity, the emission line profiles may shift position in velocity space as the planet moves through its orbit. If confirmed, this observation provides additional circumstantial evidence that the gap in the disk at 13 AU has been opened by a massive companion.

Other possible explanations for the line asymmetry include an origin in a wind or a turbulent disk atmosphere. If the asymmetry is a consequence of disk turbulence, the profile shape should vary stochastically with time, and we would not continue to see the profile that we now observe. If the profile arises in a wind, the asymmetry should also be present in other molecular line diagnostics that probe similar physical conditions.

stromal tumors with peritoneal metastasis in relative detail by imaging data. We did not find any visible signs of recurrence or metastasis, and the unresectable one located in front of the rectum decreased in density and gradually becomed smaller in size. Now it becomes a linear shadow. The whole process took 4 years.

In conclusion, we reported a case of a jejunal GIST with multiple peritoneal metastases at the time of diagnosis, which grew twice as much in 2.5 months and had a postoperative history of prostate cancer. It was curatively resected before imatinib therapy, and all peritoneal nodules except the unresectable one located in front of the rectum were excised. After surgery, imatinib has been taken. The patient remains well 4 years after the operation, without any signsnamely Trichrome, Calcofluor fluorescent, or Fungi-Fluor stains, which are effective ways to identify parasites in the brain. Sediment in the urine may also be a key factor of this condition.

Treatment of Brain Parasites in Dogs

Medications

Your veterinarian may prescribe a medication to treat the parasites if he feels your dog’s condition is treatable. Drugs that may be effective in mild cases of parasitic encephalitis are fenbendazole, ivermectin, or thiabendazole. Depending on your dog’s particular diagnosis, as well as the type of parasite involved, your veterinarian will choose the best medication possible for your loved one.

Anti-Seizure Drugs

Other medications may be given if your dog is suffering from seizures. Medications include diazepam or phenobarbital. If your dog is having a great deal of inflammation, a steroid may be given to reduce


general, I would say yes, the parasite could be transmitted, possibly by inhaling the parasite, eating feces contaminated with the parasite, or drinking stagnant water where the parasite may be living. It may be a good idea to keep Coco away from this island, or keep him on a leash to prevent contact if possible.

The location of the I-picture is determined by a picture start code and a picture type code.
In the digital television receiving and/or storing apparatus shown in FIG. 1, where a TV program is stored in the storage apparatus 106, only program packets related to the TV program, each of which has a TS packet shape, are stored. Therefore, where the TV program stored in the storing apparatus 106 is played, reference information for playing the TV program, for example, the PAT, the PMT, and the location of the I-picture, must be extracted from read program packets. However, since the PAT and the PMT are scattered in the TS stream, a delay in reconstructing the PAT and the PMT is encountered, thus slowing down quick play. Accordingly, the


new WIMP parameter space [@cerdeno_scintillating_2014].

In this paper, we simulate the expected background discrimination power and sensitivity to WIMPs of a scintillating calorimeter with an alkali halide target for different exposures and under various assumptions about phonon detector resolutions. We also study the sensitivity of a background-rejecting detector such as this to an annual modulation signal. Lastly, the technical feasibility of this type of detector is explored.

Expected performance of alkali halide scintillating calorimeters {#sec:detector_performances}
================================================================

In this section, we discuss what performances can be expected from alkali halide detectors in terms of scintillation and phonon signals. We base our design on CRESST scintillation-phonon devices [@Angloher:2012tx]. The standard cylindrical size of the scintillators (height and diameter 4 cm) yields an individual detector mass of 184 g for NaI (density 3.67 g/cm${}^3$) and 227 g for CsI (density 4.51 g/cm${}^3$).CsI (128 K [@Marshall:1969gl]), or surface degradation due to hygroscopicity [@Schaffner:2012ei]. Possibilities to remediate this have not been exhausted and include optimization and adjustment of the utilized temperature sensor (concerning its size, the material and gluing technique used to attach it to the crystal). Therefore in the rest of this analysis, we consider two scenarios for detector performance. In the first, optimistic, case, we assume that performances can be brought into line with those from current CRESST CaWO$_4$ detectors with glued sensors [@Lang:2010bt]. We interpolate their phonon resolution by a function that depends on the square root of the energy: $$\label{eq:phonRes_1}
\sigma_P (E) = \sigma_P(0) + \sqrt{\frac{E}{122 \mbox{ keV}}} (\sigma_P(122\mbox{ keV}) - \sigma_P(0)).$$ with a baseline noise of $\sigma_P(0)=210$ eV, and a resolution at high energies (122 keV) of $\sigma_P$(122 keV) $=840$ eV. The system is assumed


t - t_0}{T} \right) \right\}.
\label{Mike_modeq}$$ where $DC$ is the time-independent signal+background contribution, and $\alpha = A/DC \geq 0$ is the ratio of AC modulation amplitude to DC level. Using this function, we define an unbinned extended likelihood function [@cowan_statistical_1998]: $$L(\theta) = \frac{\mu (\theta)^n}{n!}e^{-\mu (\theta)}\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n} g(t_i;\theta)
\label{Mike_Leq_1}$$ where $n$ is the total number of data points, and $g \equiv f/\mu$ is the probability density function of $f(t;\theta)$ with an expected number of events $\mu$ defined as $$\mu(DC,\alpha,t_0) = DC \left\{ \tau + \frac{T}{2\pi } \alpha \left[ \cos \left( 2 \pi \frac{ t_0}{T} \right) -  \cos \left( 2 \pi \frac{ \tau - t_0}{T} \right) \right] \right\}$$ i.e. the total integral of $f(t;\theta)$ over the exposure time $\tau$.

For each data MC, the likelihood function is maximized for the modulation hypothesis, with thethe method allows to quantify the probability that a given feature in the periodogram is a fluctuation of the null hypothesis, as opposed to a true periodic feature. Since in our case we are looking for a modulation with a known period of one year, the null hypothesis can be rejected with a confidence level $1-p_0$ provided the power at that frequency is at least $- \ln p_0$ [@scargle_studies_1982] (this simple criterion would not hold were we looking for power at an unknown frequency).

We have evaluated the expected sensitivity of the Lomb-Scargle test statistic by applying it to our data MCs, generated with a one-year modulation, to obtain the expected distribution of power with a period of one year. The results are shown in Fig. \[fig:LS\_1\] where we plot a

Cachexia is a devastating syndrome characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and fat mass that accompanies many chronic pro-inflammatory diseases including cancer.^[1](#CIT0001)^ Importantly, cachexia occurs in more than 50% of cancer patients, especially in pancreatic and advanced breast cancer.^[2](#CIT0002),[3](#CIT0003)^ Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC), an important adverse prognostic factor, not only increases patient morbidity and mortality but also reduces the efficacy of treatment.^[4](#CIT0004),[5](#CIT0005)^ However, there is no explicit mechanism about tumuor-derived factors that simulate catabolism in muscle and adipose tissue considered the main characteristics of cachexia progression. Consequently, exploring the pro-cachectic factors and developing interventions is considered the key event for preventing or reversing cachexia.

The mechanism about cancer-triggered weight loss is highly complex. Loss of skeletal muscle in CAC derives from a decrease in protein synthesis and an

We next found elevated P-P38 expression but significantly lower P-ERK1/2 expression in C2C12 cocultivated with tumoral exosomes than in muscle cells alone ([Figure 2D](#F0002)). We next evaluated the expression levels of P-PPARγ and PPARγ as primary markers of catabolic modulation, indicating that P-PPARγ and PPARγ were dramatically downregulated in C2C12 incubated with the exosomes from both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells relative to normal muscle cells and this finding was supported by the use of CytoD that partially reversed those

Exosomes were isolated from conditioned medium derived from MDA-MB-231 cells cocultivated with mature adipocytes for 3 days. The purified particles displayed typical exosome morphology and size and contained CD36, TSG101 and CD81 (Figure 4A--C), which was consistent with previous reports on exosomes.^[9](#CIT0009)^ To observe exosome uptake by adipocytes, breast cancer-secreted exosomes were labeled with red fluorescence. After being treated with exosomes for 4 hours, mature 3T3-L1 cells were densely packed with exosomes ([Figure 4D](#F0004)), indicating rapid cellular uptake of exosomes by adipocytes.10.1080/21623945.2018.1551688-F0004Figure 4.Breast cancer cells cocultured with adipocytes show altered exosomal miRNA expression profiles.

Q:

Tricky query: Get average only of latest records

I have three models:
Supplier
  |
Price - Book
  |
PriceType

Price is the joint table for the other three models.
Every month, the latest Prices get collected. As a consequence, every Book / Supplier / PriceType combination has multiple Prices, collected at different points in time. Only the last Price for this combination is the Price I'm interested in.
I now want to know, what is the average Price over all Books for a particular PriceType / Supplier combination, ignoring all prices except the last Price for that particular combination.
Is there a way to do this on the database (Postgres) level rather than writing something terribly slow like this:
prices = []
Supplier.first.books.each do |book|
  latest_price_for_book = Price.joins(:price_type, :book).where("price_types.id = ?


Track end connectors are used to secure pieces of track together in strands for tractive engagement with terrain by vehicles such as tanks. Several methods are used to secure the end connectors, the most common being that shown in FIG. 1. In this case the track pins are milled locally for engagement with a wedge. A bolt holds the wedge in a complementary slot in the track pin, so that the connector retains the track pin. A problem exists with the FIG. 1 design because if the bolt loosens, the wedge can disengage from the slot and the end connector can separate from the track. The track is thus broken and the tank is disabled. It is necessary to retorque the bolts often in order to avoid theat 00:05?

a number of targeted surveys (see the review by F. Camilo and the contributions by A. Possenti and B. Jacoby in this volume) that have benefitted from increased computational resources, new large-bandwidth pulsar backends (primarily at 20cm, and improved search algorithms. Approximately half of the currently known $\sim$80 pulsars in 23 GCs[^1] were found in the past four years. During the last three years we have been searching more than 30 GCs with the Arecibo and Green Bank telescopes. The high time and frequency resolution of these data, along with newly developed search algorithms [@rem02; @rce03], makes us significantly more sensitive than past surveys to sub-millisecond pulsations as well as to pulsars in ultra-compact binary systems. To date, we have confirmed 13 new MSPs in six GCs.

Observations
============

Arecibo
-------

We observed all 22 GCsseems to lie in or near the “gap” splitting the Black-Widow type binaries and the more massive Ter5A-like systems (see the contribution by P. Freire in this volume). Timing measurements of pulsars M13A$-$D show them all to be old ($\tau_{\rm c} > 2 \times
10^9$ yr) with very low surface magnetic fields (B $< 7 \times 10^8$ G). Calculations similar to those in @phi92b show that the measured spin-up of M13D constrains the mass-to-light ratio in the core of the cluster to be $>$ 2 M$_{\odot}$/L$_{\odot}$ (Ransom et al., in prep.).

M30
---

M30 is a core-collapsed cluster at a distance of $\sim$8kpc. Using the GBT, we discovered two MSPs in the cluster, one of which (PSR J2140-2310A) now has a full timing solution. M30A is an eclipsing 11-ms MSP in a 4.2hr orbit


where the pulsed emission is eclipsed $\sim$20% of the time (see fig. \[fig:eclipsers\]). Arrival time delays of duration up to 1$-$2ms are visible during eclipse ingress and egress when scintillation (which is very strong towards the cluster) is favorable. M30A has likely been detected in X-rays by [*Chandra*]{} and possibly in the optical by [*HST*]{}. M30B (PSR J2140-23B) is a 13-ms pulsar that we have only seen once (but at very high significance in two pulsar back-ends) presumably due to scintillation. The pulsar is in a very eccentric orbit ($e>0.5$) with an orbital period of 1$-$10days and a companion of minimum mass $~0.35$. Future detections will allow the measurement of $\dot\omega$ (and hence the total system mass) and probably relativistic $\gamma$ which will provide the masses of both companions. MoreIsabella.

Recent data demonstrated the therapeutic potential of CD24 blockade with monoclonal antibodies which promoted the phagocytic clearance of CD24+ cancer cells in vitro and in vivo \[[@CR45]\]. A potential advantage of targeting CD24 instead of CD47 is its absence on RBCs. However, CD24 is also present on B-cells, neutrophils, neurons and epithelial cells, and healthy B-cells are efficiently phagocytosed by macrophages upon anti-CD24 therapy. The expression of Siglec-10 is also not restricted to macrophages \[[@CR46]\]. The above raises the concern of antigen sink and/or safety issues due to targeting of the Siglec-10--CD24 axis.

the decline of liberal democracy between two world wars. The old continent witnessed the greatest atrocities and shame in the history of the world. The brilliant idea and practice of the Enlightenment collided with Hitler's fascism and was shattered.

In his last book "Chess Story," Stefan Zweig, an Austrian Jew, tells the story of a man who is unable to find a way out in a world in which humanitarian values have disappeared because of the terror and repression of the Nazis. After wandering in various parts of the world, Zweig, who had considered cultural life the foremost source of human happiness and freedom, said he had both lost his language and his spiritual motherland, Europe, and committed suicide together with his wife.

The book tells of a chess gamebetween Mirko Czentovic and Dr. B. Actually, Zweig describes the battle between good and evil under the guise of a battle between black and white chess pieces. In a sense, we can call it a fight between Europe and Hitler's fascism. Czentovic, who symbolizes Hitler, represents the ability to obtain a victory – despite having a dull intellect– by focusing only on a single point and making cunning moves. On the other hand, Dr. B, who is good and modest by nature, shows us how one is overcome by evil thoughts and changes as he imitates his rival and succumbs to his ambitions. We realize that evil people can rule in cold blood since they are devoid of feelings and emotional reactions.

         This year, Christmas came early to the Internet Archive. On Saturday, the generous philanthropist behind the Pineapple Fund gave $1 million dollars in Bitcoin to the Internet Archive. This anonymous crypto-philanthropist explains, “I saw the promise of decentralized money and decided to mine/buy/trade some magical internet tokens. …Donating most of it to charity is what I’m doing.” We so admire this donor using Bitcoin as the currency of giving this season, and are honored to be the recipients of such a gift. Whoever you are, you are doing a world of good. Thank you.

Permanent access to websites, software, books, music…that is our mission. These gifts help make it happen.

It is especially gratifying to see those who dreamed big about Bitcoin using their wealth to support innovation across the


Home prices shooting up in Ithaca area; makes home-buying challenging

As Ithaca adds residents and jobs, in some ways it is also the victim of its own success, especially in the housing market.

Ithaca's well-performing economy and the city’s increasing population contrasts with decreasing populations in other upstate cities.

While many cities were significantly affected by the foreclosure crisis, Ithaca actually had increasing housing costs and lenders continued to lend money.

The average price of homes in the Ithaca City School District increased from about $120,000 in 1999 to close to $275,000 inbut what is important is that the Fed Chairman usually gets his way without any dissent. That hasn’t been true lately. The Fed’s unconventional measures have unsurprisingly not been too popular with the FOMC’s more conventional members. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped Bernanke from trying to reach a consensus. He thinks he needs to. Bernanke recently told Roger Lowenstein that he thinks any policy that doesn’t get at least a 7-3 majority simply won’t be credible. This political calculation gives the hawks more policy influence than they would otherwise have. And now it looks like there are more hawks. As Greg Ip of The Economist has pointed out, most of Bernanke’s colleagues now want to raise rates before he does. He increasingly looks isolated. Even if Bernanke is inclined


Stern and Thomas Hoenig, with the last two also in Bernanke´s FOMC.

Why, for example, during Greenspan´s years Thomas Hoenig, with all his ‘hawkishness’ never had ‘top billing’ in the media and never had the gall to dissent in eight consecutive meetings?

Or take the case of ‘hawk’ Laurence Meyer who joined the Board in 2006. In one of his first speeches as Fed Governor, Larry Meyer innovated by richly detailing the framework (model) that he uses to make the predictions that ultimately will guide his monetary policy vote:

[L]let me be specific about the causal structure of the model that underpins my judgment with respect to appropriate monetary policy action. I am a strong and unapologetic proponent of the Phillips Curve and the NAIRU concept. Fundamentally, the NAIRU framework involvesthe determination of the momenta of all final state particles, it can also be used for further studies of the angular distributions in the production and decay of the selectrons. In particular, it provides an independent direct verification that the selectrons are scalar particles. This analysis will be presented elsewhere [@inprep].

This paper is organised as follows: In Section \[sec:2\] we discuss the production and subsequent decay of selectron pairs in $e^-e^-$ collisions, and how these processes are generated. In Section \[sec:3\] we briefly describe the model, outlining some important features, and we select two illustrative scenarios for $\mu^+ \mu^-$ and $q \bar q$ final states. In Section \[sec:4\] we describe how the reconstruction of the selectron masses is achieved and we present our results. Section \[sec:5\] is devoted


GeV and the two terms are added in quadrature. We apply “detector” cuts on transverse momenta, $p_T \geq 10$ GeV, and pseudorapidities $|\eta| \leq 2.5$, the latter corresponding to polar angles $10^\circ \leq \theta \leq 170^\circ$. We also reject events in which the leptons and/or jets are not isolated, requiring that the distances in $(\eta,\theta)$ space $\Delta R = \sqrt{\Delta \eta^2+\Delta \theta^2}$ satisfy $\Delta R \geq 0.4$. We do not require specific trigger conditions, and we assume that the presence of charged leptons with high transverse momentum will suffice. Finally, for the Monte Carlo integration in 8-body phase space we use [RAMBO]{} [@rambo].

Overview of the model and selection of scenarios {#sec:3}
================================================

The aim of the present work is to demostrate that the selectron masses can be successfully reconstructed withthat the observed signal corresponds to selectron pair production. Additionally, the electron energy distributions display end points at the energies expected for $\tilde e_L \tilde e_L$ and $\tilde e_R \tilde e_R$ production in each of the cases analysed, providing independent determinations of the selectron masses and further supporting the evidence for selectron pair production. Obviously, the hypothesis of selectron pair production can also be confirmed by comparing the reconstructed masses with the selectron masses precisely measured in other processes [@feng:2001; @blochinger:2002].

In $e^- e^-$ collisions, selectron pair production requires the exchange of a Majorana neutralino in the $t$ channel, but does not prove that [*all*]{} the neutralinos are Majorana particles. However, if the neutralino mixing matrix is precisely reconstructed in other experiments [@zerwas2; @zerwas1; @bartl2], the measurement of the


$I_3^f$ and $Q^f$ are, respectively, the weak isospin and charge of fermion $f$.

Effect of beam polarisation {#sec:B}
===========================

The TESLA design offers the possibility of electron polarisation up to $\pm 80$%, which provides several advantages for our study, reducing the $\tilde e_R \tilde e_L$ background and enhancing the $\tilde e_L \tilde e_L$ or $\tilde e_R \tilde e_R$ signals. The cross sections for selectron pair production with longitudinally polarised beams can be related to the unpolarised cross sections in a very simple way. Since selectron mixing is negligible, for initial electrons with definite helicity the only non-vanishing amplitudes for selectron pair production are $e_L^- e_L^- \to \tilde e_L \tilde e_L$, $e_R^- e_R^- \to \tilde e_R \tilde e_R$ and $e_R^- e_L^- \to \tilde e_R \tilde e_L$. This allows to write the crossthe conservative bound $m_{h^0} >111$ GeV.

[^4]: This applies for $\tilde e_L \tilde e_L$ and $\tilde e_R \tilde e_R$ production, but not for $\tilde e_R \tilde e_L$, in which case the selectron masses cannot be reconstructed.

[^5]: Although by construction $m_{\tilde \chi_2^0}^\mathrm{rec}
    = m_{\tilde \chi_2^0}$, forcing the system of equations to have a real solution relaxes this equality in some cases (see the preceeding paragraph).


The present application is the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371 of PCT/IT97/00283, filed Nov. 18, 1997.
The subject of the present invention is the use of molecules that activate the CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor) receptorxe2x80x94such as hCNTF (human CNTF) or mutants of hCNTFxe2x80x94as active principles in the formulation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the treatment of obesity and of related diseases. The term hCNTF mutant is intended to mean an amino acid sequence that can in theory be derived from hCNTF by substitution of one or more amino acids.
Obesity, which affects  greater than 30% of the adult population in the industrial world, is a major public health problem, since it is associated with type II diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and increased mortality rate. Obesity is the result ofa positive energy balance, as a consequence of an increased ratio of caloric intake to energy expenditure. Treatment is generally unsuccessful due to the operation of mechanisms that restore adipose mass after both intentional or unintentional changes (1). The lipostasis theory postulates that the size of the body fat depot is regulated by a feedback loop, constituted by adipocyte-derived circulating molecules that act on the hypothalamus to decrease appetite and increase energy expenditure (2).
The recently identified 16-kilodalton plasma protein leptin (3) fulfills many of the criteria expected from such a lipostatic hormone. It is expressed in adipose tissue, and its plasma levels are highly correlated with body mass index in rodents and humans (4). The absence of leptin in obese (ob/ob) mutant mice leads to a massive increase
