The average RFD for eyes with normal axial lengths was 0.43.

in the Experimental Procedures. This conservative approach reduced the size of our data set by ∼25%, similar to the results obtained by Sogin et al. ([@b80]). The number of unique tags varied between 927 and 4563 per sample, and the number of OTUs varied between 364 and 1600 per sample ([Table S1](#SD1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). These OTUs were affiliated with 29 different phyla of the bacterial domain, and 15 OTUs with \<80% similarity to any cultured organism could not be confidently classified. The *Proteobacteria* dominated all libraries, accounting for over 80% of the total number of sequences per library, and up to 98.3% in the case of the High Flow sample HF8GH1b. Within this group, the *Epsilonproteobacteria* were the most abundant, representing from about 50% to 96% of the sequence librariesone library and unidentified operational taxonomic units (OTU)s were grouped under the category "Other and Unclassified".](mbo30002-0259-f3){#fig03}

The *Gammaproteobacteria*, mostly detected in the Low Flow samples, was the second most abundant class within the *Proteobacteria* ([Fig. 3](#fig03){ref-type="fig"}A). Sequences within this group were highly diverse, with over 60 different genera detected, most of which represented \<1% of the total number of sequences ([Table S2](#SD1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Unclassified sequences accounted for 43% of the *Gammaproteobacteria*, but this number varied between libraries and reached 98.3% in the case of the High Flow sample HF8CBb. The most abundant genera that could be confidently identified were *Leucothrix*, *Endozoicomonas,* and *Methylosarcina*. *Thiohalophilus* was another relatively abundant genus, followed by *Dasania*, which accounted by itself for more than 50% of the gammaproteobacterial sequences detected in the Low Flow sample


of composition. However, both samples from Clam Bed had significantly lower Chao1 richness and Shannon--Wiener diversity indices compared to most other samples, and high coverage values, suggesting that the microbial communities at this vent site were less complex than the other sites.

This result could be explained by a difference in sources of energy available between sites, especially between High Flow habitats, possibly limiting the diversity of the bacterial taxonomic groups adapted to the environmental conditions at Clam Bed. The observation of chemical gradients in the composition of hydrothermal fluids observed along the Endeavour Segment (Butterfield et al. [@b8]), together with the location of the sites (while the three other sites sampled are all within 150 m of each other, Clam Bed is ∼1750 m away from Grotto andthe patterns of distribution of *Epsilonproteobacteria* in hydrothermal fluids along the Mariana Arc, where the communities from individual vents seemed to be unique (Huber et al. [@b33]). These authors suggested that the high diversity of chemical conditions in hydrothermal environments might explain the distinctness of the epsilonproteobacterial populations.

Another fact to take into account is the temporal stability of the sampled habitats. Except for the Low Flow sample from Clam Bed, all samples were collected directly on active sulfide edifices, with the High Flow samples typically found adjacent to vigorous venting and the Low Flow samples further away, on the same edifice, where little or no shimmering flow was visible. These structures are known to be very unstable environments that rapidly evolve at small spatial scales, affecting the distribution

lithium, lithium's specific mechanism of action in mood regulation is still yet to be clarified. Along with the direct inhibition on glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), lithium's various effects on neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, oxidative metabolism, apoptosis, neuronal structures and glia, second messenger systems, and biological systems such as the circadian rhythm and hypothalamic--pituitary--adrenal (HPA) axis, have all been suggested to underlie lithium's therapeutic effects \[[@B11-ijms-18-02679]\]. Although the pathophysiology of BD has not been completely elucidated, a large body of literature indicates BD to be associated with significant neuroanatomical alterations \[[@B12-ijms-18-02679]\]. Such results of studies implicate, a compromised integrity of frontal--subcortical and prefrontal--limbic brain regions, in the pathophysiology of BD \[[@B13-ijms-18-02679]\]. Further evidence suggests changes in the cellular level, including dysregulation of glial--neuronal interactions, to underlie such neuroanatomical alterations\[[@B85-ijms-18-02679]\]. Numerous studies have reported decreased BDNF levels in patients with bipolar depression and mania, along with low levels of BDNF to be correlated with severity of depression and mania symptoms \[[@B86-ijms-18-02679],[@B87-ijms-18-02679]\]. *BDNF* gene polymorphisms have also been associated with the risk for BD, early onset of the disease, suicidality, propensity toward rapid cycling, and treatment response \[[@B88-ijms-18-02679],[@B89-ijms-18-02679]\]. Lithium has been suggested to prevent cellular degeneration through BDNF upregulation, with chronic lithium treatment shown to increase BDNF \[[@B90-ijms-18-02679]\].

Mitochondrial function is known to be essential for regulating neuroplasticity, apoptosis, and intracellular calcium levels. Changes in endocellular calcium have an essential role in modulating intracellular signaling cascades and neurotransmitter release \[[@B91-ijms-18-02679]\]. Defective mitochondrial function has been associated with abnormal oxidative metabolism and damage to desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contributes to


neuronal apoptosis \[[@B92-ijms-18-02679],[@B93-ijms-18-02679]\]. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in BD, with hippocampal expression of genes related to mitochondrial proteins being reduced in patients with BD \[[@B93-ijms-18-02679]\]. Furthermore, accelerated telomere shortening observed in BD, has been suggested to be greatly influenced by stress-related oxidative damage \[[@B94-ijms-18-02679]\]. Lithium has been shown to have anti-oxidative effects through various mechanisms such as increasing the antioxidants \[[@B95-ijms-18-02679]\], reducing the expression of stress proteins \[[@B96-ijms-18-02679]\], reducing proinflammatory molecules and attenuating immune responses to stress \[[@B97-ijms-18-02679],[@B98-ijms-18-02679],[@B99-ijms-18-02679],[@B100-ijms-18-02679]\], and influencing the expression of genes involved in oxidative cytoprotection \[[@B101-ijms-18-02679]\]. Studies conducted on patients with BD have reported lithium to decrease lipid peroxidation levels \[[@B102-ijms-18-02679]\], and ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction, which reverses the effects of oxidative stress \[[@B103-ijms-18-02679]\]. Previous studies have reported lithium to prevent apoptosis by modulating GSK3βthe nucleus accumbens, putamen and caudate have also been reported, but with mixed results \[[@B142-ijms-18-02679]\]. Alterations in white matter (WM) integrity have also been widely reported by numerous diffusion tensor imaging studies in patients with BD. WM tracts connecting the ACC with the amygdala and hippocampus, and the frontal lobe with the insula, amygdala, hippocampus, occipital lobe, thalamus and cingulate gyrus, have all been observed \[[@B146-ijms-18-02679],[@B147-ijms-18-02679]\]. Such compromised integrity of frontal--subcortical and prefrontal--limbic brain regions, may support an organic basis for the symptomatology of BD.

In order to investigate the putative neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects of lithium, numerous imaging studies have been conducted for the last decade. Although previous studies have also reported no effect of lithium on brain structure \[[@B148-ijms-18-02679],[@B149-ijms-18-02679],[@B150-ijms-18-02679]\], numerous studies have reported positive effects of lithium


Executive summary

Deloitte Global predicts that by end-2016 more than 80 of the world’s 100 largest enterprise software companies by revenues will have integrated cognitive technologies into their products, a 25 percent increase on the prior year. By 2020, we expect the number will rise to about 95 of the top 100.

What do we mean by cognitive technologies and artificial intelligence (AI)? We distinguish between the overall field of AI and the specific technologies that emanate from the field. The popular press portrays AI as the advent of computers as smart as—or smarter than—humans. The individual technologies, by contrast, are getting steadily better at performing specific tasks that were formerly only deliverable by humans.

Many cognitive technologies could be relevant for enterprises, including robotics, rules-based systems, computer vision, optimization, andthe need to follow explicitly-programmed instructions — is likely to be the most prevalent. It enhances a large array of applications, from classification to prediction, from anomaly detection to personalization.

Natural language processing (NLP) – whereby computers can process text in the same way as humans, for example extracting meaning from text or even generating text that is readable, stylistically natural, and grammatically correct – has multiple valuable applications when incorporated in software that analyses unstructured text.

Speech recognition – the ability to automatically and accurately transcribe human speech, is useful for applications that may benefit from hands-free modes of operation.

Deloitte Global expects the three main benefits for software companies that have integrated cognitive technologies into their products will be:

Improving core functionality. Cognitive technologies will be used to improve the


vertical specific software vendors. Such companies have received over $2 billion from venture investors since 2011. One example is Wellframe, which received $1.5 million in seed funding for its mobile app that connects healthcare providers and patients once they return home from the hospital, creating a daily to-do list for the patients with items such as medication reminders and questionnaires about symptoms. Wellframe’s machine learning engine tailors the app’s content based on answers and care regimens prescribed by the patient’s healthcare provider.

The growth in enterprise software use of cognitive technologies has been partly driven by the shift toward cloud computing. Only a subset of users of enterprise software would historically have had the scale to deploy the on-premise technologies capable of doing advanced machine learning, for example. Butto take advantage of cognitive technologies to enhance their products’ performance and utility.

Software companies should also consider applying cognitive technologies to their internal business operations, such as recruitment. One company integrated predictive analytics to forecast which job applicants were likely to have a good cultural fit and be high performing. The same technology could also predict when a target candidate might start seeking out a new job, and make recruiters aware of this.

Another company deployed a virtual support agent, based on NLP, to understand and resolve customer issues. The impact was marked: the average customer support resolution rate rose to 85 percent and the number of call center inquiries and emails fell by 22 percent.

Companies could also use cognitive technologies in managing warehouse operations and employees. If an


The invention pertains to new catalyst systems for polycondensation reactions.
The synthesis of polyesters, for example polyethylene terephthalate, requires the use of catalysts in the polycondensation step. The literature contains an abundance of patents describing the use of various catalytically active substances. Today especially antimony and titanium compounds are used on a large industrial scale in the manufacturing of polyethylene terephthalate. This is also reflected in the large number of patents that describe the use of such compounds. Polyester-soluble antimony compounds are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,965,071; 3,998,793; 4,039,515; 4,116,942; 4,133,800; 4,454,312; 5,750,635; and 5,780,575 as polycondensation catalysts. Modified antimony derivatives (stabilization by substances with double bonds to prevent reduction to metallic antimony) are, for example, subjects of U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,067,856; 4,067,857; and 4,130,552. Antimony salts ofunobserved measurement errors. In this paper, we consider two kinds of measurement errors associated with the design matrix ${\mbox{\bf X}}$ listed as follows.

1.  Additive errors. The observed covariates ${\mbox{\bf W}}= {\mbox{\bf X}}+ {\mbox{\bf A}}$, where the rows of the additive error matrix ${\mbox{\bf A}}= (a_{ij})_{n \times q}$ are i.i.d. with mean vector ${\mbox{\bf 0}}$ and covariance matrix ${\mbox{\boldmath $\Sigma$}}_A$.

2.  Multiplicative errors. The observed covariates ${\mbox{\bf W}}= {\mbox{\bf X}}\odot {\mbox{\bf M}}$, where $\odot$ denotes the Hadamard product and rows of ${\mbox{\bf M}}= (m_{ij})_{n \times p}$, are i.i.d. with mean vector ${\mbox{\boldmath $\mu$}}_M$ and covariance matrix ${\mbox{\boldmath $\Sigma$}}_M$.

Missing data can be viewed as a special case of multiplicative measurement errors with $m_{ij}$ = $I$($x_{ij}$ is not missing), where $I(\cdot)$ denotes the indicator function.

with corrupted data matrix $({\mbox{\bf W}}, {\mbox{\bf Y}})$, we will recover the coefficient matrix ${\mbox{\bf C}}^*$ sequentially in the following steps.

The first step is to solve the regular eigenvalue problem $$\begin{aligned}
\label{step1}
\frac{1}{nq} {\mbox{\bf Y}}{\mbox{\bf Y}}^{\top} {\mbox{\bf Z}}= \lambda {\mbox{\bf Z}},\end{aligned}$$ and get the estimated eigenvectors $\widehat{{\mbox{\bf Z}}}_k$ with corresponding eigenvalues $\widehat{\lambda}_k$, where $\widehat{{\mbox{\bf Z}}}_k$ are assumed to have a common normalized $\ell_2$-norm $\sqrt{n}$, matching that of the true latent predictors ${\mbox{\bf X}}{\mbox{\bf u}}^*_k$. Then the right singular vectors ${\mbox{\bf v}}_{k}^*$ can be estimated as $$\begin{aligned}
 \widehat{{\mbox{\bf v}}}_k = \frac{1}{n} {\mbox{\bf Y}}^\top \widehat{{\mbox{\bf Z}}}_k.\end{aligned}$$

The second step is to recover the sparse left singular vectors ${\mbox{\bf u}}_k^*$ with data $(\widehat{{\mbox{\bf Z}}}_k, {\mbox{\bf W}})$. Directly applying Lasso to the problem by minimizing $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2n} \|\widehat{{\mbox{\bf Z}}}_k - {\mbox{\bf W}}{\mbox{\bf u}}\|_2^2 + & of size 10000, the third measure is Normalized Prediction Error (NPE) defined as $\rm NPE(\widehat{{\mbox{\bf C}}}) = \|{\mbox{\bf Y}}_{\text{test}} - {\mbox{\bf X}}_{\text{test}} \widehat{{\mbox{\bf C}}}\|_F / \|{\mbox{\bf Y}}_{\text{test}}\|_F$. Table \[tab:synth1\] summarizes the simulation results of these three performance measures for additive, multiplicative error and missing data cases. In view of NPE and NEE in Tables \[tab:synth1\], it is clear that the performance of COSS is among the best in terms of either prediction or estimation accuracy.

Discussion {#sec5}
==========

In this paper, we have introduced a new methodology COSS to achieve scalable and interpretable estimation for multi-response error-in-variables regression under both additive and multiplicative measurement errors. It takes full advantage of recently developed sequential sparse factor estimation and the nearest positive semi-definite matrix projection, thus enjoying stepwise convexity and scalability in large-scale


when $k = r^*$. Thus, we finish the proof of Theorem \[theo2\].

**Proof of Proposition \[rho\].**

**Definition.** (Sub-Gaussian random vectors) A random vector ${\mbox{\bf w}}$ is said to be sub-Gaussian if there exists $\tau > 0$ such that $$\begin{aligned}
\label{sub-gaussion1}
\Pr (|{\mbox{\bf v}}^\top ({\mbox{\bf w}}- {\rm E}({\mbox{\bf w}}))| > t) \leq 2 \exp(-\frac{2t^2}{2 \tau^2})\end{aligned}$$ for all $t > 0$ and $\|{\mbox{\bf v}}\|_2 = 1$.

Second, we impose several regularity conditions for the multiplicative setup: $$\label{mul-cond}
\mathop{\max}\limits_{i,j}\lvert {\mbox{\bf x}}_{ij}\rvert = X_{\max} < \infty, \quad \min{\mbox{\boldmath $\mu$}}_M = \mu_{\min} > 0,$$ and introduce a few additional notations used subsequently in the proofs that ${\mbox{\boldmath $\eta$}}_k = \widehat{{\mbox{\bf Z}}}_k - {\mbox{\bf X}}{\mbox{\bf u}}^*_k$, $B = \max_{1 \leq i \leq r^*} \|{\mbox{\bf u}}^*_i \|_{\infty}$, ${\mbox{\bf a}}_j$ denotes the $j$-th column of matrix ${\mbox{\bf A}}$, $\mu_j$ denotes the $j$-thA}}^\top ({\mbox{\bf X}}_{S} {\mbox{\bf u}}^*_{S} + {\mbox{\boldmath $\eta$}})\}_j= \frac{1}{n}{\mbox{\bf a}}_j^\top {\mbox{\bf X}}_S {\mbox{\bf u}}_S^*+\frac{1}{n} {\mbox{\bf a}}_j^\top {\mbox{\boldmath $\eta$}}.\end{aligned}$$ We will bound the two terms on the right hand side successively.

For the first term, since $\|{\mbox{\bf x}}_i\|_2 = \sqrt{n}$ and the entries of ${\mbox{\bf a}}_j$ are independent and Sub-Gaussian with parameter at most $\tau^2$, applying inequality $|{\mbox{\bf a}}_j^\top {\mbox{\bf X}}_S {\mbox{\bf u}}^*_S  | \leq \|{\mbox{\bf a}}_j^\top {\mbox{\bf X}}_S \|_1 \cdot \|{\mbox{\bf u}}_S^*\|_{\infty}$ over all nodes j in the index sets yielding $$\begin{aligned}
\Pr (\lvert \frac{1}{n} {\mbox{\bf a}}_j^\top {\mbox{\bf X}}_S {\mbox{\bf u}}_S^* \rvert > \frac{\epsilon}{2} ) \le \Pr (B \Sigma_{i=1}^s \lvert \frac{1}{n} {\mbox{\bf a}}_j^\top {\mbox{\bf x}}_i \rvert > \frac{\epsilon}{2} ) \le 2\exp(- \frac{n \epsilon^2}{8 s^2 \tau^2 B^2 }), $$ where the last inequality is immediate from Sub-Gaussian inequality (\[sub-gaussion1\]). For


e}}_n )^\top$ with rows ${\mbox{\bf e}}_i$ i.i.d. $\sim  \mathcal{N} (\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{\Sigma}_E)$ satisfies $$\begin{aligned}
 \label{E_1}
                                               &   \|{\mbox{\bf E}}\|_{2}\leq\ \gamma_u (2\sqrt{n} + \sqrt{q}),  \\ \label{E_2}
 \gamma_l \left(1 - 2 / \sqrt{q}  \right) \leq &  \|{\mbox{\bf E}}\|_F / \sqrt{nq} \leq \gamma_u \left(1 + 1 / \sqrt{q} \right).\end{aligned}$$

By simple calculation, we have ${\rm E}(\mathbf{\Sigma}_E^{-1/2} {\mbox{\bf e}}_i) = {\mbox{\bf 0}}$ and ${\rm Cov}(\mathbf{\Sigma}_E^{-1/2} {\mbox{\bf e}}_i) = {\mbox{\bf I}}$ with $\rm {\mbox{\bf I}}$[Changes in the mucous membrane of the trachea and bronchi in dogs based on bronchoscopic data for the combined action of 239Pu and gamma-radiation as compared with the individual actions].

       In light of our conclusion on the defective notice


The present invention relates to an efficient lighting system which provides both normal and emergency lighting throughout a facility.
Electrical codes, both state and national, require that certain public places, for example schools, restaurants, hospitals and work places, have emergency lighting which is activated automatically in the event of a power failure. There are generally two main types of emergency lighting systems in common use, i.e., the individual unit and the Central Inverter System ("CIS"). The individual unit light is basically a set of floodlights connected to a battery. A charging and sensing circuit in the unit is connected to the standard a.c. power line and uses it to keep the battery charged, as well as to detect a power failure. When a power failure is detected, the circuitadds an interesting nutty depth. This chai is great without milk or sugar, and does not getting bitter even with oversteeping. Oversteeping will turn very spicy though.

Pretty Girls is a pretty solid puer that starts off with a dirty mushroom taste. With each infusion, it gets more sweet, mineral, and chocolate in flavor. I got 13 infusions, though I felt I should have leafed a bit more.

Doctor's estimation of patient's CV risk versus patient's actual risk, n=1089

  Doctor's estimation   Patient's actual risk
  --------------------- ----------------------- ------------
  High                  310 (40.2)              20 (6.3)
  Low/moderate          462 (59.8)


Prolonged exposure to previous high levels and the presence of established chronic changes would mean that maximal reduction may take longer than 5 years and may never reach the level of a treatment-naïve patient. However, doctors find it difficult to obtain pretreatment levels, and overestimation would occur if the patient's risk factor had been controlled over a long period of time.

Shared medical decision-making through proper risk communication ensures patients and doctors are able to weigh the risk and benefits of treatment options. The underestimation of risk as seen in this study population is likely to have significant impact on their management. Overoptimism has also been noted in other studies which described the tendency for people to be unrealistically optimistic about future life events.[@R29] The research showed that subjectstended to be optimistic of their chances for negative events when the event is perceived to be controllable. This appears to mirror our finding where patients and doctors perceived the risk for CVD as being low because of the availability of treatment and behavioural lifestyle modification steps that can be taken. The mainstay of treatment of risk factors is to prevent progression of disease. Yet, patients and doctors must understand that residual risk remains and that treatment should be continued for most despite normalisation of risk factor levels. This understanding is potentially jeopardised by optimism bias as adherence to medication and preventive behaviour have been shown to be associated with higher risk perception.[@R30]

The findings also suggest that patients and doctors estimated risk by risk factor profile or risk


CVD risk.[@R36] This finding can be used to target those at greater risk of inaccurate estimations for intervention.

Strengths and limitations of the study {#s5a}
--------------------------------------

This is a cross-sectional study that examined the risk perceptions of individual patients by both the patients and the doctors seeing these patients. The study design allowed us to capture the perceptions and practice occurring in actual consultations in primary care settings where decisions on institution of management for CVD prevention and treatment are made. This study took place in nine different clinics and covered over a thousand patient consultations.

It is possible that the doctors involved in this study may have been prompted to assess patients' CV risk due to awareness of the research being undertaken as informed consent was obtained from all participants. However,a call for participation in BioCreative 2012 Interactive Text Mining task ([@gkt441-B13]), we developed PubTator, a web-based application that provides computer assistance to biocurators ([@gkt441-B14]).

PubTator has several unique features that distinguish it from existing annotation and literature search tools ([@gkt441-B15; @gkt441-B16; @gkt441-B17]), as it is designed specifically for the needs of biocurators who have limited text-mining experience. First, PubTator is a web-based system; thus, no installation is required and not restricted to any specific computer platforms. Second, PubTator is an all-in-one system that provides one-stop service for literature curation from searching and retrieving relevant articles to annotating selected articles. As such, user input can either be a search query or a list of PubMed articles. When manual curation is completed, users can readily download and export their annotations

Why mmap a 4GB file on 32-bit armv7l succeeded?

I had the impression from the mmap(2) man page and search results, that mmap is only limited to system's available address spaces, minus the system reserved address spaces. So on 32-bit armv7l, I assume it's around 3GB = (4GB - 1GB).

left were both critical of the European Union, but while Dutheil de la Rochere characterized his stand as "anti-globalization", Feraud was more specific: he is against the policies of the IMF and the World Bank but in favour of UNCTAD and UNDP (the UN agencies in charge of trade and development, respectively) and even sympathized with the BRICS (the group formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) as a welcomed power shift.

The spokesman of Benoit Hamon emphasized instead that "only Europe can save us" in front of the "Trump- Putin threat."

The far-right representative reminded the public (mainly students of the School of Political Sciences, where the debate was held) that France "did not fall in the trap of believing [US Secretary of State] Colin Powell whenhe showed slides of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" and should not prematurely judge about chemical weapons in Syria without an international investigation.

In representing centrist candidate Macron, Severino commented that in the face of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, "nationalism is not the answer, but we need to listen [to] what the citizens are saying" and argued that "the IMF, World Bank (of which he was vice-president for Asia) and trade, they are all necessary, but need to be transformed" with a stronger regulation of banks as a most urgent step.

The current distribution of French ODA, with 60 per cent of the budget for bilateral (country to country) cooperation, 20 per cent channelled multilaterally (World Bank and UN agencies) and 20 per cent through the


EU was not challenged, nor the assumption that Africa should be a priority, followed closely by "the Mediterranean" and "la Francophonie".

Without mentioning US president Trump, the representative of Marine Le Pen agreed with his request of NATO partners to increase their military budgets and argued that 2 per cent of GDP should go to the army and that promotion of the arms industries should be part of the economic recovery policies.

On the specific issue of nuclear arms, the spokesman of Francois Fillon argued that the nuclear arsenal was "essential" for "the image and respect of France"... while hoping it would never have to be used.

The representative of Melenchon defended the need for "strategic autonomy", while at the same time emphasizing that French nuclear forces have "no visible threatspredict, all other candidates might unite against her in the second round of voting in May.

Le Pen's representative, Dutheil de la Rochere, considered migrants as a "reserve army" (of whom he did not specify) against France, arguing that assimilation is not working and "multi-culturalism equals decomposition."

All the other four panellists disagreed, with nuances in their views on migration.

Severino said that those policies would not have allowed his family of Italian roots to be in France.

Feraud reminded the audience that "all empires in history were multi-cultural" and said that "everybody deserving it should be admitted to France".

Jadot commented that [German chancellor Angela] "Merkel was left alone in her sensitive policy of accepting refugees" and Europe was now engaging in "shameful agreements with Libya and Turkey to forcefully retain migrants


Q:

How to convert dot notation to object in php?

I need a function that give an instance and a dot notation string and return its equivalent object. Something like this
public function convert($instance , $str) {
    //If $str = 'instance' return $instance
    //If $str = 'instance.name' return $instance->name
    //If $str = 'instance.member.id' return $instance->member->id
    //...
}

How can I do this

It is also clear that this never would have happened if not for the visibility, and legitimacy, of Palestinians who are nonviolently opposing Israel’s geo-political policies. For Oxfam didn’t know about Johansson’s endorsement for SodaStream – nor of the company factory in the Occupied Territories – until international activists began protesting its affiliation with Johansson.

And this is precisely why what has occurred between Johansson and Oxfam is so significant, for it has provided a high-profile test case measuring the impact, and veracity, of Palestinian efforts to mobilize international players against Israel’s undemocratic occupation.

Indie in D.C. is a monthly feature on independent makers and retailers throughout the District.

Alfonzo Gregory, 20, owns the business Shoe Resurrection. He is self-taught and has built a reputation for repairing and restoring shoes, specializing in revitalizing sneakers. He developed his business with the help of DC Community Carrot, an organization that provides mentorship for budding entrepreneurs.

Gregory works out of his home in Southeast D.C. You can reach him by texting (202) 971-2714. You can see examples of his work on Facebook (facebook.com/shoeresurrection360/) or on Instagram @hardworking_zo.

DC Community Carrot is the program that you worked with to get your business up and running. Did you know going in that you wanted to do something with shoes? How did it come about?

David, the program director, said,


doing to shoes?

People usually come in for a deep clean. I have a price range. If you are a new customer coming in I will charge you about $25.

What does a deep clean entail?

Get the shoe looking better than what it did before. I use my special product … and it makes the shoe look 100 times better than what it did before.

Did you join DC Community Carrot in order to start your business, or did you join Carrot because you thought it was a cool idea?

No. I joined Carrot because I really didn’t have nothing to do and I was looking for things to do because I knew I could do something. It wasn’t a lot of programs out there that was trying to accept me, sosystems. The trapped hot air accumulating in the upper areas of the combustion chamber is sufficient to heat the injectors to a temperature such that fuel on wetted surfaces decomposes to form a layer of coke. Coke formation is especially detrimental where very narrow orifices are used and coke layers in the order of a few thousandths of an inch can result in measurable decreases in fuel efficiency.


hybridization and the formation of the lower (LP) and upper (UP) exciton-polaritons separated by the Rabi energy $\Omega_{R}$ (Figure 1b). To observe Mie exciton-polaritons, we fabricated a polycrystalline-Si nanoparticle array with a size of 2 $\times$ 2 mm$^2$ on a fused quartz substrate by electron-beam lithography and selective dry etching (see Methods for details). A scanning electron microscope image of the nanoparticle array is shown in Figure 1d. We softly transferred an exfoliated WS$_2$ flake on top of the array and left the flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a superstrate (Figure 1c).[@eizagirre2019preserving] Accordingly, the Si nanoparticle array and the flake were sandwiched in a nearly homogeneous dielectric environment to enhance the coherent in-plane scattering of light from the nanoparticles.[@de2007colloquium; @auguie2008collective; @giannini2010lighting] The array has a square symmetry with a1$, 0) e-SLRs of the bare array, which are degenerate at $\theta=0^{\circ}$, split into two bands (denoted by the black arrows in Figure 4c) as the angle of incidence increases. The m-SLR around the resonant energy of the excitons (vertical black dashed line in Figures 4a-d) has a weaker extinction as indicated by the solid-red guide to the eye in Figure 4c. Due to the large dispersion of the ($\pm 1$, 0) diffraction orders, we only investigate the (0, $\pm 1$) SLRs of both magnetic (TE) and electric (TM) modes. With WS$_2$ 1L on top of the array, we find that the dispersion of the e-SLR splits into the LP and UP bands (the solid-blue guide to the eye in Figure 4b). Unlike the e-SLR, the m-SLR (solid-blue guide


that the band of uncoupled e-SLRs (red solid curve) redshifts 10 meV when the monolayer WS$_2$ is transferred on top of the nanoparticle array compared with the bare array (also see Figure S4b). We also obtain the Rabi energy $\Omega_{R}$ = 32 meV at $k_\parallel$= 2.4 $\mu m^{-1}$, when the UP or LP state is half mixed with e-SLRs and half with excitons (Figure 5a). Due to the high Q-factor (Q$\sim$120) of e-SLRs in the Si nanoparticle array, the Rabi energy satisfies the strong coupling condition, i.e., $\Omega_{R}>\gamma _{ex}, \Gamma _{e-SLRs} $, where $\gamma _{ex}$ = 25 meV[@wang2016coherent; @chervy2018room; @wang2019limits; @eizagirre2019preserving], $\Gamma _{e-SLRs} $ = 18 meV are the line widths of the extinction spectra of excitons and e-SLRs, respectively. These linewidths were estimated by Lorentzian fits toe-SLR) in Si nanodisk arrays and bright A excitons of monolayer WS$_2$, leading to the formation of the upper (UP) and lower polariton (LP) states. The energy difference between the UP and LP states is the Rabi energy $\Omega_{R}$. (c) Schematic of the sample.

The transmission characteristics of the optical transmission path are obtained by measuring a power of probe light. For example, a transmitter transmits probe light. The probe light is transmitted to a receiver through the optical transmission path. Here, a wavelength of the probe light is swept in a wavelength range of a target wavelength channel. Note that a transmission power of the probe light is constant. The receiver measures a received power of the probe light. Then measured values of the received power are plotted for each wavelength andThe anger about the new anti-gay laws in Russia is growing and more and more people are speaking out, writing to sponsors of the Olympic Winter games and to other companies that support Russia's economy, joining the new UN campaign 'Free & Equal' or contacting their local authorties with the demand to take a stand.

aesthetic reasons. However, the colorant, additive, or dye may significantly impair the processability of or degrade the polymer during conventional recycling processes. Further, the presence of colorant, additive, or dye may limit the potential downstream uses of the recycled polymeric material, as any color change desired in the downstream use could be limited if not impossible given the original article's color. In some cases, an article otherwise suitable for recycling is rejected completely and deposited in a landfill simply because its color is undesirable or inappropriate for a particular downstream use.
Processes for stripping dyes from or decolorizing various materials are known in the art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,227,881 discloses a process for stripping dyes from textile fabric which includes heating an aqueous solution of an ammoniumsalt, a sulfite salt and an organic sulfonate to at least 140.degree. F. (60.degree. C.) and adding the dyed fabric to the heated solution while maintaining the temperature of the solution. In addition to the costly heating and temperature maintenance step, this process has the drawback of producing fabrics which after processing exhibit a remaining color depth. U.S. Pat. No. 4,783,193 discloses a process for stripping color from synthetic polymer products by contacting the colored polymer with a chemical system. The described process uses unstable dispersions of alkyl halides and aqueous solutions of bleaching/oxidizing agents to which specified quantities of acids and surfactant/wetting agents are added. Among the drawbacks are the use of potentially hazardous halogens and the special provisions required to prevent escape of vapors which could


be frustrated unless both Mr Byers and his top civil servant Sir Richard Mottram quit.

Mr Byers told the House of Commons on Tuesday he regretted that comments he made in a Sunday television interview may have suggested he played no role in discussions leading up to Mr Sixsmith's departure.

Mr Sixsmith insists he was forced out of his job over his dealings with Mr Byers' personal spin doctor Jo Moore.

But Mr Byers enjoys the support of much of Labour's backbenches with MPs cheering him during a meeting of the parliamentary party on Wednesday.

Kennedy says Byers position is "untenable"

In the Commons on Tuesday, Mr Byers told MPs there had been a "concerted attempt by a very small number of civil servants in the press office to undermine" his department.

A major allergen/antigen, Asp fl, secreted by Aspergillus fumigatus exhibits cytotoxicity towards eukaryotic cell lines. Asp fl inhibited protein synthesis in RAW cells with an IC50 of 4.5 nM and also degraded ribosomal RNA of RAW cells at a similar concentration. Ribosomal inactivation by Asp fl may be the probable mechanism for protein synthesis inhibition. Specific ribonuclease activity of Asp fl was observed to be 100,000 U/mg. Presence of strong RNase activity in Asp fl was further confirmed by agar gels containing yeast RNA. Electrophoretic run on agarose gels showed that Asp fl degrades all species of naked RNA. Modification of histidine residues of Asp fl with diethyl pyrocarbonate and alkylation of cysteines with iodoacetamide resulted

“What’re you following me for?” Lin Yi frowned at Xiaoxiao as she walked beside him.

“They say you become who you’re always with, right?”Xiaoxiao said with a smile. “It’s fine if you don’t want to teach me how to race. I’ll just be by your side and you’ll rub off on me. I’ll become like you and we’ll both be racers!”

Lin Yi was so overcome with shock at Xiaoxiao’s logic that he couldn’t even say anything. “Do whatever you want then. I’m going home.”

With that, Lin Yi turned and went to the food street behind the school where his car was parked. Xiaoxiao kept pace with him.

“Isn’t it nice if you let me go home with you?” Xiaoxiao had made up her mind to follow Lin Yi, so no matter what he said she’d maintain a soft tone and gentle attitude.

“You don’t want your car anymore?” Lin Yi didn’t know how


to bother with her,” Lin Yi said.

“Oh, I see.” Tang Yin started getting nervous again. So Feng Xiaoxiao was here aiming straight for Lin Yi? Tang Yin felt a slight sense of danger at the thought.

“Let’s not talk about her. How’s Aunty’s business been recently?” Lin Yi didn’t want to dwell on Xiaoxiao any longer in front of Tang YIn.

“It’s alright, around three or four times the old income. If this goes on, it’ll be ten thousand plus per month!” Tang Yin was evidently really happy that her family was able to earn this much now.

“Nice. Save up and get a place. You guys can open a barbecue shop. Things’ll be much easier from that point on.” Lin Yi nodded. He could always give Tang Yin’s family aneed to know as a parent?

Use The Right Props

Let’s say that you want your child to start becoming more independent when it comes

to food. Investing in a wooden play kitchenwould be a great way to get them used to the idea of actually making their food. Sure, it wouldn’t be the real thing. But unlike in a real kitchen, your child would have far more freedom to explore the world of food in a safe and controlled way. You could even get them to pretend to follow a recipe and serve it up to friends (or teddy bears).

Of course, you don’t just have to focus on cookery. There are all sorts of different concepts you could explore, from going to work to building a castle.

It doesn’t matter what


your child builds: a fort, a rocket, a treehouse - they all engage the creative and spatial areas of the brain. So as a parent, it’s a good idea to provide the raw material they need. Although it might sound expensive, building things like forts and rockets can be very cheap, often using stuff you already have or were going to throw out. Old boxes, plastic bottles, cushions, and so on can get them started and making something exciting. You’ll often find that once you’ve provided the raw materials and prepared yourself for the mess, the kids will use their imagination and get on with things themselves.

Another bill that received final legislative approval would force Cooper's Cabinet choices to be subject to Senate confirmation, would allow Cooper to designate up to 425 state employees as his political appointees, compared to a cap of 1,500 for McCrory.

Before adjourning, lawmakers also confirmed a salaried appointment to the state Industrial Commission for the wife of McCrory's chief of staff. McCrory nominated her.

McCrory must decide whether to sign the second law passed by the General Assembly, a body that has repeatedly tugged him to the right even though he campaigned as a moderate in 2012 as Charlotte's former mayor.

Republicans insist the legislation is simply adjusting the constitutional powers already granted to the General Assembly. Many provisions had been debated for years but hadof the first and only GOP lieutenant governor of the 20th Century in the late 1980s.

A value of 5 indicates that an almost complete removal of the printed structure has occurred in the test whereas a GT value of 0 means that no printed structure has been removed. Thus, low GT values mean a good adhesion of the printed structure to the surface.

A stunning series of lopsided setbacks for Proposition 16 as PG&E wended its way through various subcommittees of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce -- losing 22-0, 12-0, and 20-1 -- which culminated with a 25-1 smackdown at the full Board, raises the question all big budget media campaigns dread:

Political consultants will tell you that every election is determined by the swing voter -- those who don't bring firm, pre-existing convictions to their voting choice but instead are subject to persuasion. In the Proposition 16 election, that effectively means Southern California -- that majority of the state which has no previous relationship with PG&E and is expected to form its final opinion on the basis of political

Control Loop {#S4}
------------

Here we consider a buck converter with a voltage feedback control. In most cases a closed loop system with a voltage mode control can be described by the equations $$\label{17}
\frac{dx}{dt}=Ax+Bf+q,\quad \sigma=Cx+\psi, \quad f=M\sigma.$$ Here $A$ is a constant square matrix, $B$ and $q$ are columns, $C$ is a row, and $\psi$ is a scalar. An operator $M$ describes a pulse modulator, so functions $\sigma(t)$ and $f(t)$ are the input and the output of the modulator, respectively. Suppose $A$ to be Hurwitz stable, i.e., all of its eigenvalues lie in the open left half-plane.

In the simplest case the control signal is defined by the formula $$\label{18}
\sigma(t)=a(V_{ref}-U(t)).$$ Here $V_{ref}$ is a constant reference signal


and $a$ is a gain. Combine (\[10\]) and (\[18\]) to obtain (\[17\]) with $$A=A_p,\qquad B=B_p, \qquad C=-aC_p,\qquad \psi=aV_{ref}, \qquad
q=0.$$

In a more general case two additional linear circuits are added to the control scheme, as shown in Fig. 3 (see, e.g., [@Eri99]).

![A closed loop system](pic3.eps)

Let state space realizations of the compensator and of the sensor gain be $$\label{20}
\frac{dx_c}{dt}=A_cx_c+B_c\xi, \qquad \sigma=C_cx_c+D_c \xi$$ and $$\label{21}
\frac{dx_s}{dt}=A_sx_s+B_s U, \qquad \eta=C_sx_s+D_s U,$$ respectively, and $$\label{22}
\xi=V_{ref}-\eta.$$

Combining (\[20\]), (\[21\]) and (\[22\]) one obtains (\[17\]) with $$\begin{aligned}
A&=\begin{bmatrix} A_p & 0  & 0\\
B_sC_p & A_s & 0 \\
-B_cD_sC_p & -B_cC_s & A_c
\end{bmatrix},
\qquad B=\begin{bmatrix} B_p \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}, \qquad
q=\begin{bmatrix}0\\ 0\\ B_cV_{ref}  \end{bmatrix},
\\[4mm]
C&=[-D_c D_s C_p, \quad -D_cC_s,\quad C_c], \qquad
\psi=D_cV_{ref}.
\end{aligned}$$

With the help of the change of variables $\tilde x=x+A^{-1}q$, equations (\[17\]) are transformed into the equations $$\label{17a}
\frac{d\tilde x}{dt}=A\tilde x+Bf,\qquadimply $$\label{66}
\sigma_* v_n > \sigma(nT)-\sigma^0(\tau^0)=\sigma_d(nT)+\sigma^0(nT)-
\sigma^0(\tau^0).$$ Write $$\sigma^0(0)-\sigma^0(\tau^0)=Tv_n \frac{d\sigma^0}{dt}(t_s),$$ where $t_s$ is some time, $0\le t_s\le \tau^0$. Since $\sigma^0(nT)=\sigma^0(0)$, (\[66\]) implies $$0>v_n\left( \sigma_* - \frac{d\sigma^0}{dt}(t_s) \right)>\sigma_d(nT).$$ Then we come to (\[60\]) with $\tilde t_n=nT$.

Case (iii). Suppose that (\[15\]) is fulfilled, so $\tau_n=T$ and $v_n = 1-\tau^0/T >0$. Set $\tau=0$ and $\tau=T$ in (\[15\]). Then $$\sigma(nT)>\sigma_1, \qquad\sigma(nT+T)>\sigma_1+\sigma_*.$$

Firstly, consider the case when $\sigma(nT)\ge \sigma_1+\sigma_*$. Then $$\sigma_* v_n= \sigma_1+\sigma_*-\sigma^0(\tau^0)\le
\sigma(nT)-\sigma^0(\tau^0)=\sigma_d(nT)+\sigma^0(0)-\sigma^0(\tau^0).$$ Arguing as above, we get $$0<v_n\left( \sigma_* - \frac{d\sigma^0}{dt}(t_s) \right)<\sigma_d(nT),$$ so we come to (\[60\]) with $\tilde t_n=nT$.

At last suppose that (\[15\]) is satisfied and $\sigma(nT)< \sigma_1+\sigma_*$. Since $\sigma(nT+T)> \sigma_1+\sigma_*$, there exists a number $\tau_s$ such that $0<\tau_s<T$ and $\sigma(nT+\tau_s)=\sigma_1+\sigma_*$. It is easily seen that (\[60\]) is valid with $\tilde t_n=nT+\tau_s$. The proof of Lemma \[L2\] is complete.

Now return to the proof of Theorem \[T1\].

the assumption that $\beta(\textbf{a},\textbf{b}) =0 $ for all $\textbf{b} \in V$ when transitioning from line 4 to line 5. Applying the result to Eq. (\[pW\]) we find that $$\label{WigUp}
p_\textbf{a}(s) W_{\rho'}(\textbf{u}) = \frac{\delta_{s,[\textbf{a},\textbf{u}]}}{2} \big(W_\rho(\textbf{u}) + W_\rho(\textbf{u} +\textbf{a}) \big).$$ By assumption, the r.h.s. is always non-negative. For the outcome $s$ to possibly occur, it is required that $p_\textbf{a}(s) > 0$. Hence, $W_{\rho'}(\textbf{u}) \geq 0$, for all $\textbf{u} \in V$. $\Box$

[We define the set ${\cal{O}}$ of directly measurable observables to be the largest possible set of Pauli observables allowed by Lemma \[InO\], $$\label{Omax}
{\cal{O}}: = \{ \pm T_\textbf{a},\, \textbf{a} \in V|\, \beta(\textbf{a},\textbf{u})=0,\, \forall \textbf{u} \in V_\textbf{a}\},$$ with $V_\textbf{a}:=\{\textbf{u}\in V| [\textbf{a},\textbf{u}]=0\}$.]{}

[*[Example:]{}*]{} To illustrate the usefulness of Lemma \[InO\], consider the following choice for $\gamma$. For brevity, we restrict to two rebits. $W^\gamma$ is specified by$$\begin{array}{rcl}
A^\gamma_\textbf{0} &=&$\textbf{a}+\textbf{b} \in V_M$. The reverse direction holds by symmetry in $\textbf{b}\longleftrightarrow \textbf{a}+\textbf{b}$. $\Box$

[*[Example.]{}*]{} Assume that $X_1,Z_2,Y_1Y_2 \in {\cal{O}}$. The outcome of the observable $Z_1X_2$ can then be inferred by measurement, i.e. $Z_1X_2 \in M$. The procedure for the measurement of the observable $Z_1X_2$, given the above set ${\cal{O}}$ of directly measurable observables, is the following. First, the observable $Y_1Y_2$ is measured, and second the commuting observables $X_1$ and $Z_2$ are measured. The measurement outcome $\mu(Z_1X_2) \in \{\pm 1\}$ then is $$\mu(Z_1X_2) = \mu(Y_1Y_2)\mu(X_1)\mu(Z_2).$$ The key point of this example is that not all pairs among the measured Pauli observables $X_1$, $Z_2$ and $Y_1Y_2$ commute; yet in the above expression for $\mu(Z_1X_2)$ we treated them as if they did. The reason that this is possible is the following.

Contextuality {#Context}
=============

In this section we establish contextuality of magic states as a computational resource, for qubit QCSI schemes satisfying the condition (P1). We also clarify how contextuality and Wigner function negativity are related, and state our most general classical simulation algorithm for qubit QCSI.

Non-contextual hidden variable models {#HVMdef}
-------------------------------------

Recall that ${\cal{O}}$ is the set of Pauli observables which can be directly measured in QCSI, $M$ is the set of observables which can have their value inferred by measurement of observables in ${\cal{O}}$, and any $C \subset M$ is a set of Pauli observables which can have their value inferred jointly, from a single copy of the given quantum state.

\[HVM1\] Consider a quantum state $\rho$ and a set ${\cal{O}}$ of observables grouping intovalue assignment $\lambda: V_M \longrightarrow \{\pm 1\}$. We may now re-phase the inferable observables, $T_\textbf{a} \mapsto T'_\textbf{a} = \lambda(\textbf{a})^{-1}T_\textbf{a}$, for all $\textbf{a} \in V_M$, such that the new observables $\{T'_\textbf{a}, \textbf{a}\in V_M\}$ have a consistent value assignment $\lambda'\equiv 1$. This means that for all $T'_\textbf{a} \in {\cal{O}}$, $T'_\textbf{b},T'_{\textbf{a}+\textbf{b}} \in M$ with $[\textbf{a},\textbf{b}]=0$ it holds that $T'_{\textbf{a}+\textbf{b}} = + T'_\textbf{a}T'_\textbf{b}$. With Eq. (\[3T\]) it thus follows that $\beta'(\textbf{a},\textbf{b})=0$ for all $\textbf{a} \in V_{\cal{O}}$, $\textbf{b} \in V_M$ with $[\textbf{a},\textbf{b}]=0$. Thus, with Lemma \[InO\], the measurement of any observable $\pm T'_\textbf{a}$ does not introduce negativity into the Wigner function defined by $A_0=1/2^n\sum_{\textbf{a}\in V}T'_\textbf{a}$. ]{}

Contextuality implies Wigner negativity {#NWNC}
---------------------------------------

In accordance with existing results [@Spekk], [@Howard], also for the present setting of QCSI on qubits it holds that a non-negative Wigner function always implies the


first, and then run the measurement sequence for $T_\textbf{a} \in M$.) Thus, by Property (ii) of Def. \[HVM1\] for non-contextual HVMs, $\lambda_\nu(T_{\textbf{a}_t}T_\textbf{a})=\lambda_\nu(T_{\textbf{a}_t})\lambda_\nu(T_{\textbf{a}})$. Finally, with Lemma \[InO\], $T_{\textbf{a}_t}T_\textbf{a}=T_{\textbf{a}+\textbf{a}_t}$, which yields the stated relation.

Next we use the induction assumption, and obtain $$\begin{array}{rcl}
\langle T_\textbf{a} \rangle_{q_{t+1}} &=&\displaystyle{\frac{1}{2p_t(s_t|\textbf{s}_{\prec t})} \left( \langle T_\textbf{a}\rangle_{\rho_t} (-1)^{s_t}  + \langle T_{\textbf{a}+\textbf{a}_t}\rangle_{\rho_t} \right)}\vspace{1mm}\\
&=& \displaystyle{\frac{1}{p_t(s_t|\textbf{s}_{\prec t})} \text{Tr} \left( \rho_t \frac{I+(-1)^{s_t} T_{\textbf{a}_t}}{2} T_\textbf{a} \right)}\vspace{1mm}\\
&=& \displaystyle{\frac{\text{Tr} \left( \left[\frac{I+(-1)^{s_t} T_{\textbf{a}_t}}{2} \rho_t \frac{I+(-1)^{s_t} T_{\textbf{a}_t}}{2} \right] T_\textbf{a} \right)}{p_t(s_t|\textbf{s}_{\prec t})}}\vspace{1mm}\\
&=& \displaystyle{\langle T_\textbf{a} \rangle_{\rho_{t+1}}.}
\end{array}$$ We thus reproduce the quantum mechanical expression within the HVM. This completes the induction step.

The induction starts at time $t=1$, where $\rho_1=\rho_\text{in}$ has an HVM description, by assumption of Theorem \[Res1\]. Thus, by induction, for every time $t\geq 1$ and every history $\textbf{s}_{\prec t}$ of measurement outcomes, the conditional state $\rho_t(\textbf{s}_{\prec t})$ has a descriptionan isometry of $k$ logical qubits into $n$ physical qubits.]{}

-   [[*[Encoded gates.]{}*]{} For any $V \in SU (\mathbb{C}^{2^k})$ and any encoded input state ${\cal{E}}(|\phi\rangle)$ prepare the encoded output state ${\cal{E}}(V|\phi\rangle)$, up to an arbitrarily small error $\epsilon$.]{}

-   [[*[Encoded outputs]{}*]{}. Measure the value of any logical observable ${\cal{E}}(X_i)$, i.e., $\{{\cal{E}}(X_i),\; i=1,..,k\} \subset {\cal{O}}$.]{}

Requirement U3 means that it is possible to physically measure any logical qubit in the standard basis.

We then have the following result.

\[UnivCon\] A QCSI scheme $(\gamma,{\cal{M}})$ on $k\geq 3$ (possibly encoded) qubits satisfying U1 - U3 is universal only if its magic states are contextual.

The full proof of Theorem \[UnivCon\] is given in Appendix \[UnivCP\]. Here we prove Theorem \[UnivCon\] under the simplifying assumption that every encoded qubit can be measured in two complementary bases rather


1 runs, but needs to be taken into account when the simulated measurement outcomes are returned. Namely, Algorithm 1 returns the values for $T^{\gamma_{[\nu]}}_{\textbf{a}_t}$, not for the $T_{\textbf{a}_t}$ with the standard phase convention $\gamma$. A conversion of those values is thus necessary, which proceeds by Eq. (\[Tdef2\]).

There is one more item to check: To employ sampling from Wigner functions $W^{\gamma_{[\nu]}}$ as a subroutine, the measurement of observables which leave positive Wigner functions $W$ positive must also leave all Wigner functions $W^{\gamma_{[\nu]}}$ positive. Denote by ${\cal{O}}_{[\nu]}$ the non-extendable set of directly measurable observables w.r.t. the phase convention $\gamma_{[\nu]}$ (i.e., the set of Pauli observables whose measurement preserves non-negativity of the Wigner function $W^{\gamma_{[\nu]}}$). Then, we have the following result.

\[SameO\] For all $[\nu]\in {\cal{S}}/V$, it holds that ${\cal{O}}_{[\nu]}={\cal{O}}$.

[*[Equivalent scheme 1.]{}*]{} In all QCSI schemes worked out to date [@Galv], [@NegWi], [@Howard], [@ReWi], the magic states are local to single or at most 2 particles. Although this is by no means necessary, we are used to those states being injected into the computation one by one. If desired, we may convert the above computational scheme into such a form, by conjugating it—the resource state, the measurable observables in ${\cal{O}}$, and the Wigner function $W^0$—under the unitary transformation $$\label{Uising}
U_\text{Ising} = \prod_{i,j\in{\cal{V}}}\left(\Lambda(Z)_{i,j}\right)^{\Gamma_{ij}}.$$ In this way, we arrive at the following equivalent computational scheme. The resource state $|\Psi\rangle$ is converted into a tensor product state of individual qubits being in the state $|+\rangle_i$, defined by $X|+\rangle =


U1 and U2, universality implies that an encoded GHZ-state can be prepared. Further, by U2 and U3 it is possible to randomly measure in one of the four contexts ${\cal{E}}(X_1,X_2,X_3)$, ${\cal{E}}(X_1,Y_2,Y_3)$, ${\cal{E}}(Y_1,X_2,Y_3)$, ${\cal{E}}(Y_1,Y_2,X_3)$. In each such measurement, the three outcomes are multiplied and it is verified whether the product matches the corresponding stabilizer eigenvalue of the GHZ state.]{}

[We will show below that if the initial (magic) state has an ncHVM description, then the simulation Algorithm 2 will fail to reproduce the quantum prediction [for the stabilizer eigenvalues of the GHZ-state]{} with a probability $\geq 1/8$. However, Algorithm 2 has been proven to be correct (See Theorem \[EffSimGen\]), and therefore computational universality and availability of an ncHVM description for the initial state cannot simultaneously apply.]{}

Effects of dietary cholesterol supplementation on growth and cholesterol metabolism of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed diets with cottonseed meal or rapeseed meal.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of cholesterol on growth and cholesterol metabolism of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed diets with cottonseed meal (CSM) or rapeseed meal (RSM). Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 550 g kg(-1) CSM or 450 g kg(-1) RSM with or without 9 g kg(-1) supplemental cholesterol. Growth rate and feed utilization efficiency of fish fed diets with 450 g kg(-1) RSM were inferior to fish fed diets with 550 g kg(-1) CSM regardless of cholesterol level. Dietary cholesterol supplementation increased the growth rate of fish fed diets with RSM, and growth rate and feed utilization efficiency of fishwith the Greens and FDP since they are Eurosceptic, and that representatives of Russia have never spoken to representatives of the AfD (clearly not true).

And although we still can’t say anything about the impact, as shown by the DFRLab, some of the messaging in the countdown to the German elections was amplified by Russian-language bots; and on Russian social media platform VKontakte, 90 percent of the most popular posts concerning the German election supported the AfD.

From an old cardboard box, Li Wen drew a clear glass bottle filled with a dark brown liquid. The yellowed label indicated that it was brewed decades ago.

“I have newer batches too,” Li said in a voice stained by caffeine and nicotine, “and I’m also making my own.” Several steps away, like a stage magician, he lifted a black cloth for the grand reveal: a glass carboy, about five gallons in volume, filled nearly to the brim with a spirit that was lighter in shade than the aged elixirs on display. At the bottom was unmistakably a bone. “Tiger, too, of course.”

Li has a small collection of tiger bone wine. His hobby of buying and selling the stuff led him to experiment with tincturing. His recipe for theno efforts have been made to block auction listings for tiger bone wine, contradicting the 1993 ban.

Li Wen didn’t offer me a drink, but he did let me smell one of his recent acquisitions. It was bottled in the 1980s, and he bought the half-liter bottle for ¥34,000, or about $5,470. One-third of it was gone because he had been nursing from it every day. When he unplugged the bottle, the aroma reminded me of the herbal rubs that Chinese chiropractors use to quicken the healing of bruises—rich, earthy, high in alcohol content but without the burn. “Pre-’90s,” he pointed out. But in his carboy was a fresh tiger bone, acquired recently. “It’s from a tiger feast. The cook saved me a leg bone.” I pointed out that

In 2013 the extremism of #Gunbullies has hit a new high. This article reviews how they have tried to silence commonsense gun owners, Moms Demand Action, domestic abuse victims and even the Newtown parents – and why the #Gunbullies will ultimately fail.

#Gunbullies & Commonsense Gun Owners

In the December 2013 issue of Guns & Ammo magazine sanity and #gunsense broke out as Dick Metcalf wrote a column entitled “Let’s Talk Limits“. He was promptly fired along with the Editor of Guns & Ammo, after gun extremists attacked the publisher for daring to print a piece that promoted a commonsense conversation about gun safety.

Who is Dick Metcalf?

Wrote the “Firearms Law” column in Shooting Times from 1976-1990

from 1976-1990 Worked with U.S. Senator Jim McClure, Congressman Harold Volkmer and NRA-ILA Executive Directorbut intimidation. This was just four moms who wanted to have a lunch meeting, it wasn’t a rally.

Shannon Watts and MDA members have been subjected to months of misogynistic and violent abuse online and via email, including threats of rape and sexual assault, and have even had home addresses published without their consent.

#Gunbullies & Domestic Violence

Turns out the NRA’s own staff are #Gunbullies. Richard D’Alauro, NRA’s field representative for the New York area, inflicted “years of domestic violence” on his wife Maribeth D’Alauro. An order of protection even had to be taken out against him in 2010, leading to his 39 pistols, shotguns and rifles being confiscated.

However he was only prohibited from carrying a gun FOR A YEAR despite his history of domestic violence.

But now Maribeth D’Alauro is


z < 1.5$ sample are significantly offset from the excitation sequence observed in nearby H II regions and SDSS emission-line galaxies. In order to fully understand the causes of this offset, which is also observed in $z\sim2$ star-forming galaxies, we examine in detail the small fraction of SDSS galaxies that have similar diagnostic ratios to those of the DEEP2 sample. Some of these galaxies indicate evidence for AGN and/or shock activity, which may give rise to their unusual line ratios and contribute to Balmer emission lines at the level of $\sim 20$%. Others indicate no evidence for AGN or shock excitation yet are characterized by higher electron densities and temperatures, and therefore interstellar gas pressures, than typical SDSS star-forming galaxies of similar stellar mass. These anomalous objects also haveDEEP2 near-IR photometric catalog, and population synthesis models limiting the stellar population age to be younger than the age of the Universe at $z\sim 1$. Thus, in a few cases, the stellar masses differ slightly from those presented in Table (2) of Paper I. As shown in the lower panels of Figure (\[fig:colormag\]), the $z \sim 1.4$ galaxies in our sample span the full range of absolute $B$ luminosities in the DEEP2 survey, from $M_{B} \sim$ -20 to -23, while the smaller set of $z \sim
1.0$ galaxies happens to cover the faint end of the luminosity function. Galaxies in both redshift intervals cover more than an order of magnitude in stellar mass and therefore should be able to probe an interesting dynamic range. Since our goal was to


$H$ band) is used to observe H$\alpha$ and \[N II\], whereas the NIRSPEC 3 filter (similar to $J$ band) is used for H$\beta$ and \[O III\]. For objects at $z \sim 1.0$, the NIRSPEC 3 filter is used to observe H$\alpha$ and \[N II\], whereas the NIRSPEC 1 filter ($\Delta\lambda
=$ 0.95-1.10 $\mu$m) is used for H$\beta$ and \[O III\]. All targets were observed for 3$\times$900 s in each filter with a 0.76$^{''}$$\times$42$^{''}$ long slit. The spectral resolution determined from sky lines is $\sim10 {\rm \AA}$ for all four NIRSPEC filters used here. Photometric conditions and seeing were variable throughout both nights, with seeing ranging from 0.5$^{''}$ to 0.7$^{''}$ in the near-IR. In order to enhance the long-slit observing efficiency, we targeted two galaxies simultaneously by placing them bothH$\alpha$ and \[N II\] lines have exactly the same redshift and FWHM, with the H$\alpha$ line having a higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). For most of the objects in our sample, the \[N II\] $\lambda$6548 line was too faint to measure. \[O III\] $\lambda$5007 and H$\beta$ fluxes were determined with independent fits. In most cases, redshifts from H$\alpha$, \[O III\] $\lambda$5007, and H$\beta$ agree to within $\Delta z = 0.0004$ ($\Delta v = 50-60$ km s$^{-1}$ at $z=1.0-1.4$). For the object 42021412, \[O III\] $\lambda$5007 lies on top of a bright sky line, and only a lower limit is given.

between the star-forming excitation sequence and the AGN branch, the sheer size of the SDSS sample still results in a set of $\sim 100$ such local objects. These objects can serve as possible local counterparts for our DEEP2 objects, with the added benefit of high S/N photometric, spectroscopic, and morphological information from SDSS. We will make use of this detailed information to understand the cause of the local galaxies’ offset in the BPT diagram, and, by extension, the likely cause of the offset among the high-redshift galaxies.

In the following sections, we compare in detail these anomalous SDSS objects against more typical SDSS star-forming galaxies. Accordingly, we analyze possible causes for their offset in terms of different physical conditions in the ionized regions, which include H II region electron density,metallicity indicator. Compared with the Main sample, all indicators except $R_{23}$ suggest that the Offset-AGN has higher ionization parameters at fixed metallicities.

The Offset-SF sample also has significantly larger electron densities, on average, than the Main sample (\[S II\] $\lambda6717$/\[S II\] $\lambda6731$ of $\sim$1.23 compared to $\sim$1.40, corresponding to electron densities of $\sim$208 cm$^{-3}$ compared to $\sim$47 cm$^{-3}$), whereas the Offset-AGN sample has only slightly higher electron densities than those of the Main sample (\[S II\] $\lambda6717$/\[S II\] $\lambda6731$ of $\sim$1.37, corresponding to electron densities of $\sim$67 cm$^{-3}$). As discussed in Paper I, for fixed ionization parameter, metallicity, and input ionizing spectrum, the photoionization models presented in @kewley01a display a dependence on electron density, in the sense that model grids with higher electron density have an upper envelope in


when we divide all of the objects in our DEEP2 sample that have reliable \[O II\]-doublet measurements into two groups, according to the empirical Ka03 curve in the \[N II\]/H$\alpha$ versus \[O III\]/H$\beta$ diagram, we find that for the group below the Kauffmann curve, the median value of electron density inferred from \[O II\] $\lambda$3726/\[O II\] $\lambda$3729 is $\sim$23 cm$^{-3}$, whereas for the group above the Kauffmann curve, the median value is $\sim$159 cm$^{-3}$. This difference in electron density as a function of position on the BPT diagram is qualitatively consistent with what we have found for SDSS objects (Table (\[tab:sdssabundance\]); electron density N$_e$ \[cm$^{-3}$\] of 190$\pm$12 for the Offset-SF compared to 28$\pm$5 for the Main), lending independent support for our method of using Offset-SF objects as localanalogs for the H II regions in our high-redshift sample. In principle, we could examine the ionization parameter indicator, $O_{32}$, for our DEEP2 objects, using \[O II\] from DEIMOS and \[O III\] from NIRSPEC spectra. However, at this point, the comparison does not seem useful, as it would suffer from large systematic uncertainties, due to the manner in which the optical and near-IR spectra were collected and flux-calibrated.

A related question is whether objects that are more offset in the \[N II\]/H$\alpha$ versus \[O III\]/H$\beta$ diagram have higher average SFR surface density than objects with less offset within our DEEP2 $z \sim 1-1.5$ sample. The spatial extent of H$\alpha$ emission contains information about galaxy sizes. However, we can only measure the extent along the slit, which does not necessarily reflect


the host-galaxy properties, most importantly smaller sizes and higher star-formation rate surface densities. Our conclusion drawn from analyzing the SDSS data has been further verified by the fact that the DEEP2 objects more offset from the local excitation sequence in the BPT diagram also have higher electron densities than those closer to the local sequence. We cannot rule out either the contribution from AGN and/or shock excitation, or the difference in H II region physical conditions, for the unusual emission-line diagnostic ratios of high-redshift star-forming galaxies.

3.  We have quantified the effects of different H II region physical conditions on the strong-line metallicity calibrations. The direct electron temperature method was used to estimate the “true” metallicity difference between offset SDSS objects with anomalous line ratios and more typical objectsof my head that are just as overpriced as NYU, so if you’re looking to blow wads of cash for a liberal arts degree that’ll throw you into crippling student debt, you’ve got options.
