9/11 is an iconic date for Americans. It’s also iconic for militant Islamists whose goals align with Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror group. 9/11’s prominence guaranteed the Benghazi attack would send a global message. Despite Bin Laden’s death and President Barack Obama’s Jan. 5, 2012 claim that the “tide of war” was receding, in 2012 radical Islamists wanted the world to know their war on America still raged.

contrast to the above findings, the mRNA and protein expression levels of lipolytic genes (e.g., ATGL and HSL) were dramatically decreased in the abdominal WAT of Vanin‐1^−/−^ mice (Figure [2E](#advs1845-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"},[F](#advs1845-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"}). More importantly, the protein phosphorylation levels of ATGL and HSL, as well as the total lipase activities were similarly reduced in the abdominal WAT of these mice, when compared to WT mice (Figure [2F](#advs1845-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"},[G](#advs1845-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"} and Figure S2L, Supporting Information), suggesting that the activities of these enzymes were suppressed and the lipolysis rate was reduced. Similarly, circulating levels of NEFAs and glycerol were also reduced (Figure [2H](#advs1845-fig-0002){ref-type="fig"} and Figure S2M, Supporting Information), indicating that impaired lipolysis occurred when Vanin‐1 was globally deleted. Our speculation was confirmed by the analyses in human abdominal WAT samples. First, we found that the expression of Vanin‐1In contrast, such an induction was inhibited in the Vanin‐1 KO mice (Figure S3D, Supporting Information). Therefore, we speculate that Vanin‐1 is able to regulate both basal and fasting‐induced lipolysis. To confirm our hypothesis, we performed new in vitro experiments, and stimulated WT and Vanin‐1 KO primary adipocytes with ISO, a hormone that typically activates lipolysis. We found that Vanin‐1 deficiency significantly inhibited ISO‐induced secretion of NEFA and glycerol from the cells (Figure S3E,F, Supporting Information). At the molecular level, the mRNA and protein expression of ATGL and HSL were also suppressed (Figure S3G,H, Supporting Information). Further, the protein phosphorylation levels of ATGL and HSL were decreased (Figure S3H, Supporting Information). Interestingly, the hepatic expression levels of lipolytic genes were unaffected (Figure S3I, Supporting Information), indicating the tissue‐specific

We confirmed the role of Vanin‐1 in lipolysis by using HFD‐induced obese mouse model because the basal lipolysis is inhibited HFD. HFD‐fed Vanin‐1^−/−^ mice gained more body weight than the WT mice (Figure [3H](#advs1845-fig-0003){ref-type="fig"}). The fat mass of these mice were increased when assessed by NMR minispec (Figure [3I](#advs1845-fig-0003){ref-type="fig"}) and the morphological analysis (Figure [3J](#advs1845-fig-0003){ref-type="fig"}),stronger staining signals for F4/80 (markers of macrophage infiltration) in abdominal WAT of HFD‐fed Vanin‐1^−/−^ mice. Coincidence with these findings, the mRNA expression levels of macrophage marker and inflammatory genes, including *CD11b*, *Cxcl2*, *CD68*, *TNF‐α*, and *Mcp‐1*, were induced (Figure S3N,O, Supporting Information). Besides, we quantified the TG levels in the liver and muscle from HFD‐fed Vanin‐1^−/−^ mice and found TG accumulation was increased in this setting (Figure S3P, Supporting Information). In parallel, the glucose tolerance and systemic insulin sensitivity of HFD‐fed Vanin‐1^−/−^ mice were significantly impaired (Figure [3P](#advs1845-fig-0003){ref-type="fig"} and Figure S3Q, Supporting Information). At the molecular level, the AKT signal pathway plays a critical role in the regulation of insulin signaling.^\[^ [^26^](#advs1845-bib-0026){ref-type="ref"} ^\]^ Therefore, to understand the mechanism by which Vanin‐1 deficiency exacerbated insulin resistance, we analyzed the


total lipase activities, were increased in such Vanin‐1‐overexpressed mice (Figure [6G](#advs1845-fig-0006){ref-type="fig"},[H](#advs1845-fig-0006){ref-type="fig"} and Figure S7G, Supporting Information). Notably, WAT lipolysis increases FFA influx into liver to induce the physiological hepatic steatosis.^\[^ [^29^](#advs1845-bib-0029){ref-type="ref"} ^\]^ As shown in Figure S7H of Supporting Information, although the serum levels of NEFAs were slightly increased (Figure [6D](#advs1845-fig-0006){ref-type="fig"}), the hepatic lipid accumulation was not altered in response to Vanin‐1 overexpression in the abdominal WAT. One possible explanation is that at the quiescent status (here we refer to the ad libitum feeding), while Vanin‐1 overexpression in WAT causes activation of in situ lipolysis and an increase in the serum NEFA levels, such a slight increase of FFA flux can be utilized by the liver through a compensatory mechanism.

3. Discussion {#sec0015}
=============

Osteochondrosis of the medial malleolus is a rare condition described occasionally in literature [@bib0040], [@bib0045], [@bib0050], [@bib0055]. Medial malleolus could show an accessory ossification center as a normal variant in growing children. Different studies report an incidence of this secondary ossification center between 1.6 and 47% [@bib0070], [@bib0075], [@bib0080], [@bib0085].

Age, gender and sport activity may play a part in the explanation of such a high variation of results. Medial malleolus accessory ossification center usually appear from six to eleven years of age and is more frequent in female patients [@bib0050].

Sport activities could influence the formation of this accessory ossification center. Tajima et al. compared ankle x-rays of 292 children of a junior football club to 124 control subjects. He reported an accessory center in 11.2% of


osteochondrosis of the medial malleolus. We searched for "osteochondrosis" OR "apophysitis" OR "avascular necrosis" AND "medial malleolus". All of the articles found were included. Five articles discussing 6 cases of osteochondrosis of the medial malleolus were found to which we add our case ([Table 1](#tbl0005){ref-type="table"}). The seven cases studied consisted of 5 males and 2 females with a mean age of 11years (range 8--13 years) [@bib0040], [@bib0045], [@bib0050], [@bib0055], [@bib0060]. In all cases medial malleolus alteration were not related to ankle injuries and tibial fractures.Table 1Summary and comparison of published cases of medial malleolar osteochondrosis.

Field of the Invention
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to wireless devices and more specifically to receiving and transmitting signals between transceivers.
2. Description of the Related Art
Generally, a communication system includes a transmitter and receiver, which transmit and receive information signals over a transmission media such as wires or atmosphere. When atmosphere is used, the transmission is commonly referred to as “wireless communication.” Examples of various types of wireless communication systems include digital cellular, packet data paging, wireless local area networks (LAN), wireless wide area networks (WAN), personal communication systems and others.
The capacity of a wireless communication system (i.e. the number and density of users that can be serviced) is heavily influenced by co-channel interference (CCI). CCI interference from adjacent access points (APs) and nearby mobiles


represents a fundamental issue in system design and deployment. CCI occurs when signals from two access points operating on the same frequency are within a distance that allows the signals to propagate from one AP within one basic service set (BSS) to another AP within another BSS. Because the two signals are on the same channel, each AP allows both signals to pass to its respective baseband processor.
Conventionally, mitigating co-channel interference has been achieved using frequency reuse planning, and other isolation techniques that rely on the wireless medium environment.
One method for mitigating co-channel interference involves increasing the number of frequency channels available for use. When more frequency channels are available, a larger physical distance can be provided between access points using the same channel. This method may workbecome denser with the proliferation of wireless devices, distances between access points decrease and thereby increases the likelihood of CCI.
Generally in IEEE 802.11 networks all wireless devices are required to operate according to the distributed coordination function (DCF) rules. All wireless devices and access points operating under these rules must perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) before transmitting. The CCA may result in one BSS waiting for signals intended for another BSS. This is referred to as CCA capture. Due to CCA capture, the available channel capacities from two BSSs operating on the same frequency channel are shared between all of the wireless devices for both BSSs thereby degrading the overall BSS throughput.
Generally, within a single BSS, all wireless devices are usually able to hear one another. However,


the gastrointestinal tract. The exact etiology of FDG uptake in the colon is not entirely clear. Some suggest that increased FDG uptake is due to uptake into mucosal structures. Differences in the histology of the intestinal glands in the ascending colon, descending colon, rectum, and small intestine can cause regional differences in FDG uptake and standard uptake value (SUV) readings. The presence of lymphoid tissue in the colon may contribute to FDG uptake. Increased activation of glandular structures in the ascending colon compared with other regions could induce increased FDG uptake or even excretion into the lumen^\[[@B5]\]^. Muscular activity with peristalsis may be another minor contributor to physiologic colon uptake.

Aside from normal colonic uptake of FDG, both benign and malignant colonic lesions can be detected by FDG-PET. AZags return to Spokane after loss to North Carolina

The ability of business users to manage crucial business information has been greatly enhanced by the proliferation of IP-based networking together with advances in object oriented Web-based programming and browser technology. Using these advancements, systems have been developed that permit web-based access to business information systems, thereby allowing any user with a browser and an Internet or intranet connection to view, enter, or modify the required business information.
As such systems grow increasingly sophisticated, problems can arise in rolling out newer, more advanced system versions in a manner that meets the many different demands placed on the system provider.

Ken Horowitz of Sega-16 took note of Sega's reluctance to commit to releasing the service in North America as part of the reason for its lack of titles, noting, "Companies were most likely waiting for confirmation of the modem’s release before they began to commit themselves, and as time has attested, few were waiting to go ahead with development in light of Sega's 'wait and see' attitude."  Horowitz went on to criticize this issue as a problem Sega would have again with the Sega 32X in 1994, stating, "History would repeat itself in the harshest of manners only five years later. Sega's expectations of third party support for something it showed little enthusiasm for were entirely unrealistic and

I have often been thinking about the Indian concept of 'Unity In Diversity' which is touted as one of the highlights of the Indian Union. While I am personally enamoured of it, since as a child, fuelled also by reading Nehru's classic, 'Discovery of India' I am not sure if it is the mindset of every Indian.

The first impediment I think is the notion of mainland, or what, in my opinion is disputatiously known as the mainstream India. Let me gently point out that if there is a mainstream, there are many sub streams which flow into oceans or rivers of the mainstream. Their sources may be various, but they flow into a continuous and contiguous whole, if we are going to be pertinacious about our notionsthe question of disintegration. Poverty can lead to separatist feelings. The issues of Maoists are: livelihood and bad governance. There is already a talk of them joining hands with some of the North East recalcitrant groups. That is because they have a common underling, but in many cases the issues are the same for both the groups.

W&M has also implemented recycling programs in the buildings it manages, including ones that handle discarded computers -- "it's what you're supposed to do, but people don't do it," Malkin said.

The company also is recycling about half the materials it's removing from a project being done for Pitney Bowes. "You're using less landfill space, and it's product that can be used again in the future," Malkin said.

It is also the same story in other nuclear weapon states — Russia, France, Britain, Israel and North Korea. One can assume that more than half the world’s people want nuclear weapons to defend themselves.
But when asked in general terms, a majority of the earthlings will call for the elimination of nuclear weapons. In Japan, which ironically takes shelter under the nuclear umbrella of the US, only 5 percent of the people back nuclear weapons.

# Using Native Libraries in iOS

NativeScript for iOS lets you include native libraries and consume their APIs from JavaScript.

For iOS, three types of library packages are available:

1. Shared framework (`MyFramework.framework`): An ordinary shared library wrapped in a framework. Typically, contains the required `module.modulemap` file.
2. Static framework (`MyFramework.framework`): An ordinary static library wrapped in a framework. Typically, doesn't contain the required `module.modulemap` file and you need to add it manually.
3. Static library (`libMyLib.a`): Contains a headers folder (usually called `include`) with `.h` files.

Recently I've started teaching myself Ruby and as part of my quest I discovered the amazing Ruby Koan site by EdgeCase. The concept of a koan dates back to the foundations of Zen Buddhism. You might recognize the question "what is the sound of one hand clapping". This is actually part of a Zen koan. A koan is a question or story that serves as a fundamental teaching tool. A traditional Zen koan cannot be understood via rational thought but rather through intuition leading to an "Aha!" moment.

Ruby Koans, as developed by EdgeCase, consist of 274 test cases and incomplete Ruby code. Your task is to implement the code in order to make all the tests pass in classic TDD style. For those unfamiliar with


Probe into 'double salary' from City and Stellenbosch municipality

Share this article: Share Tweet Share Share Share Email Share

Stellenbosch municipal manager Geraldine Mettler allegedly drew a double salary from the City of Cape Town and Stellenbosch with the knowledge of that municipality’s mayor, Gesie van Deventer. The allegations of misconduct against Mettler topped the agenda in a document in possession of the Cape Times. The document was for a notice of an urgent council meeting in Stellenbosch yesterday. According to the document, the double payment has not been ratified. “The fraud and response committee resolved that the allegation made against the municipal manager and the executive mayor resort with council and that the matter be reported to the relevant political barriers, i.e. the deputy executive mayor and Speaker,” readthen reappeared in the exact same spot ten minutes later. As mysterious occurrences continue to occur with increasing frequency in the skies over Miami, the investigation becomes personal when the employee’s beloved wife is on one of the planes affected.

The story is inspired by the book “Ghosts of the Air” by Martin Caidin, which documents real accounts from pilots who have experienced flight anomalies.


makes explicit that the value of x requires running some code (the lookup of the value of y).
However, if you want to maintain a uniform syntax (making all the constants accessible in the same way), then you could use a class with properties (attributes which call getter and setter functions):
Constants.py:
class BunchOConstants(object):
    def __init__(self, **kwds):
        self.__dict__.update(kwds)

const=BunchOConstants(y=10,z='foo')

Your script.py:
import Constants

const=Constants.const
print(const.y)
# 10
print(const.x)
# 10

Here you change the "constant" y:
const.y='bar'

And the "constant" x is changed too:
print(const.x)
# bar

You can change x also,
const.x='foo'

and y too gets changed:

of the temple’s main lawn is the world peace pagoda, a replica of a pagoda found at the Bulguska Temple in South Korea. The pagoda’s three levels represent the three basic forms of all existence: the world of form, formlessness, and the world beyond. It also represents the three foundations of Buddhism: Buddha, the law, and the brotherhood of the monks.

Your question is a bit like asking: could a Borg drone survive a car crash? The answer of course depends on the exact nature of the accident, and there isn't anything special about the Borg in this regard.
Another thing to consider is that the Borg don't value the life of a single drone. From cbr.com, emphasis mine:

The Borg operate in such a way as to strive for perfection, which means they don't have much of a tolerance for defective parts. Parts, in this instance refers to Drones. When one Drone becomes damaged, it may be simpler to salvage the parts from it than to attempt reviving it and returning it to the collective.

      would increase the detection rate from 85 to 87%. However, basal FSH screening alone or in combination with other screening methods would cause an unacceptably high loss rate of unaffected pregnancies compared with current screening protocols, indicating that routine pre-conception basal FSH screening would not be useful to identify women at risk for a Down's syndrome pregnancy. However, when elevated basal FSH concentrations are diagnosed during subfertility evaluation, an elevated risk for a Down's syndrome pregnancy could be discussed with women who become pregnant.

No. 93.
Supreme Court of North Carolina.
November 4, 1953.
*326 Bailey & Bailey, Carl L. Bailey, Plymouth, for plaintiffs appellees.
W. L. Whitley, Plymouth, for defendant appellant.
WINBORNE, Justice.
Two questions, determinative of this appeal, are here presented for consideration and decision. 1. Was an easement in the road across the land, now owned by defendant, created by implication of law, upon the severance of unity of title by the common grantor, Axie Lane, as set forth in the facts found by the trial court? 2. If so, was such easement extinguished by the judgment in the civil action instituted by T. E. Ainsley, immediate predecessor in title of present plaintiff, against Cecil Nixon the present defendant?
In the light of applicable principles of law, applied to


fringe benefits for as long as retained and furloughed employees receive them.62   In conferring this panoply of benefits, we have held, the N & W conditions satisfy the statutory mandates of fair protection and adequate safeguards for employees in the situations to which those conditions apply.63

As the Commission acknowledged, the consolidation of freight-classification operations at Yard Center may have produced dislocations of the kind alleged by the Brotherhood.64   It does not follow, however, either that the underlying transaction must be stymied until an implementing agreement between the railroads and their unions can be reached, or that the Commission itself must adjudicate issues upon which the parties cannot come to terms.  The N & W provisions specify that either the railroad or the unionmay request and compel negotiations seeking an agreement respecting the applicability of those provisions to the transaction proposed,65 and that, should the negotiations fail, either party may submit the dispute for adjustment by a referee,66 whose decision will "be final, binding, and conclusive."67   With only narrow exceptions, the N & W conditions require arbitration by a committee of "any dispute" regarding "the interpretation, application or enforcement of any provision of" those conditions,68 and likewise make the arbitral decision "final, binding, and conclusive."69   Equally importantly, the N & W conditions expressly authorize consummation of the underlying transaction pending negotiations and arbitration, subject to an obligation on the railroad to thereafter make employees whole.70

IV. CONCLUSION

18
These considerations the Commission fully recognized.  Indeed, they formed the core


in certain kinds of cases.  When Commission approval is sought for acquisition of trackage rights in conjunction with a "consolidation or merger of ... properties or franchises," see 49 U.S.C. Sec. 11343(a)(1) (1982), the Commission affords the maximum employee protection by imposing the New York Dock conditions instead of the N & W conditions traditionally applied to trackage-rights awards.  See note 43 supra.    It is clear, however, that L & N's planned consolidation of its own operations at South Hammond Yard with those at another facility owned jointly with another railroad is not a transaction intercepted by the statute.  Section 11343(a)(1) speaks to "consolidation or merger of the properties or franchises of at least 2 carriers into one corporation for the ownership,Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at 20.  It would suffice that the Brotherhood did not make this claim in its complaint to the Commission.  See note 48 infra and accompanying text.  Moreover, as we later discuss, the question whether that or any other agreement was infringed by L & N's transfer of classification operations to Yard Center is a matter for arbitration under the N & W conditions.  See Part III infra.

This is what you call a real shot in the dark. Don got made only because its principal cast Amitabh Bachchan, Pran and Zeenat Aman wanted to help out producer Nariman Irani with his debts. They took a Salim-Javed script that everyone else in the industry had rejected and turned it into a modest production so that some money could be made out of it. The character of Don is inspired by Shammi Kapoor's role in China Town (1962). Irani lost his life during the three years that it took to can Don. It was Manoj Kumar's idea to shoot the song Khaike paan Banaraswala to add some zing to the movie. And it is the popularity of the song that made the audiences flock to watch Don.team members. Because the top team's conduct is mimicked lower down in the organization, this kind of behavior can come to pervade it.

An inability to renew

Although many top teams recognize the importance of organizational renewal, few of them institute processes that revitalize effort and commitment. Three problems can make it hard for members of a team to step back and honestly assess their own performance. These problems often have their origin in the team members' experience as middle managers. Most executives have climbed functional silos and are accustomed to defending their organizational turf. It is often difficult for such people to make the leap to broad strategic issues that have a bottom-line impact. Frequently, executives also can't adapt their leadership style to life at the top, where interactions


team cycles of action and reflection—accelerating the pace of change and making the process of discovery explicit—can have a significant effect in as quickly as three months.

What it looks like

On the face of it, a top team going through the performance improvement process resembles any other top team at work. As usual, CEOs and senior executives address a number of strands of business, but they focus on major strategic issues and work together as colleagues rather than delegate tasks to staffers, consultants, or individual team members. At a minimum, the entire top team should spend one day each month together, without staffers, doing real work as a team. Subgroups of two or three members should work together a couple of times a week on every issue the teamapplied the direction-interaction-renewal framework originally developed in the trailblazing work of Michael Jung and other McKinsey colleagues in the leadership and organization practice.

a complete rationale, relying on and citing to the records reviewed.  Moreover, the examiner offered clear conclusions with supporting data as well as reasoned medical explanations connecting the two.  See Nieves-Rodriguez v. Peake, 22 Vet. App. 295 (2008); Stefl v. Nicholson, 21 Vet. App. 120, 124 (2007) ("[A]medical opinion ... must support its conclusion with an analysis that the Board can consider and weigh against contrary opinions").  Accordingly, the Board finds that VA's duty to assist with respect to obtaining a VA examination and opinion regarding the issue decided herein has been met.

As noted in the Introduction, the Board remanded the case in February 2014 so as to obtain updated VA treatment records and a VA examination to determine whether the Veteran's chronicApp. 141, 146-47 (1999) (remand not required under Stegall v. West, 11 Vet. App. 268 (1998), where the Board's remand instructions were substantially complied with), aff'd, Dyment v. Principi, 287 F.3d 1377 (2002).

Thus, the Board finds that VA has fully satisfied the duty to assist.  In the circumstances of this case, additional efforts to assist or notify the Veteran in accordance with the VCAA would serve no useful purpose.  See Soyini v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 540, 546 (1991) (strict adherence to requirements of the law does not dictate an unquestioning, blind adherence in the face of overwhelming evidence in support of the result in a particular case; such adherence would result in unnecessarily imposing additional burdens on VA with no benefit flowing to

changing junctional electrical charges by polylysine. Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is the only AQP present in these cells, and its deletion in AQP1 null mice significantly affects cell osmotic permeability but not fluid transport, which militates against the presence of sizable water movements across the cell. By contrast, AQP1 null mice cells have reduced regulatory volume decrease (only 60% of control), which suggests a possible involvement of AQP1 in either the function or the expression of volume-sensitive membrane channels/transporters.

In a next step, the armature impacts the valve needle and opens the injector through an impulse that overcomes the necessary force to open the valve needle and the injector at high pressures and further allows for a fast opening transient.
Due to the impact of the armature on the valve needle, a velocity of the valve needle is high during opening and travel phases. On the one hand, the opening of the injector is desirable to be fast but on the other hand it is requested that a remaining portion of the impact on

abstract: 'Classical Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase space and some asymmetry may exhibit chaotic ratchet effects. The most significant such effect is a directed momentum current or acceleration. In known model systems, this effect may arise only for sufficiently strong chaos. In this paper, a Hamiltonian ratchet accelerator is introduced, featuring a momentum current for *arbitrarily weak chaos*. The system is a realistic generalized kicked rotor and is exactly solvable to some extent, leading to analytical expressions for the momentum current. While this current arises also for relatively strong chaos, the *maximal* current is shown to occur, at least in one case, precisely in a limit of arbitrarily weak chaos.'

**I. INTRODUCTION**\

Classical [@hr1; @hr2; @hr3; @hr4; @hr5; @hr6] and


of $\hbar $ [@qr6]. Quantum-resonance ratchet accelerators have been experimentally realized in recent works [@qr8; @qr9].

In this paper, we show for the first time that the phenomenon of ratchet acceleration is *not* limited to strong-chaos regimes. We introduce a realistic Hamiltonian system exhibiting this phenomenon most significantly in near-integrable regimes, corresponding now to *arbitrarily weak* but *global* chaos. The system is a generalized kicked rotor whose force function has zero mean and is characterized by two nonintegrability parameters $b_{1}$ and $b_{2}$. A global chaotic region in the $p$ direction arises also for arbitrarily small values of these parameters, i.e., the KAM scenario is not satisfied. As $b_{1},\ b_{2}\rightarrow 0$, this non-KAM  [@nkam] system tends to the well-known elliptic sawtooth map [@pa; @gmz], which has been used as aa simple necessary condition for the existence of at least one AI: $$b_{1}+b_{2} < \frac{K-2}{K-1}.  \label{ccs}$$

For the symmetric system ($b_{1}=b_{2}$), the condition (\[lai\]) reads $b_{1}<F(b_{1})$, which can be significantly simplified: $$b_{1}<\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{K}.  \label{lais}$$ It follows from condition (\[lais\]) that no period-$1$ AIs can exist if $b_{1}=b_{2}\geq 1/4$, for any value of $K$ in the relevant interval of $2\leq K<4$. This is consistent with the known fact that bounding KAM tori exist for some $K$ if $b_{1}=b_{2}=1/4$ [@plsm], which is apparently the only case of map (\[cpem\]) studied until now.

**IV. RATCHET ACCELERATION FOR** $\boldsymbol{K=3}$\

In this section, the ratchet acceleration $A$ in the case of $K=3$ will be calculated analytically in the framework of a plausible assumption (see below), supported by extensive numerical evidence and exact results. To use


close to $K=3$ one should again observe a significant increase of the absolute value $\vert A\vert$ of the acceleration as the chaos strength decreases. We have verified this numerically in parameter regimes where good accuracy could be achieved within the limitations of our available computational resources. An example is shown in Fig. 9.

![Circles: Numerical values of $A$ (obtained as described in the caption of Fig. 7) for $K=2.99$ on the path $b_{1}=0.25$ and $0.005\leq
b_{2}\leq 0.14$; this path lies entirely in domain $R$, see Fig. 3 for the nearby value of $K=3$. The Lyapunov exponent on the path varies in the interval $0.4787<\protect\sigma <0.8326$. Solid line: Analytical results from formula (\[Ab\]) for $K=3$.](fig9.eps){width="6.5cm" height="6cm"}

Our main result that the strongest Hamiltonian ratchet effect can arise in a limit of arbitrarily\mathrm{mod}(1).
\label{x2}$$ From Eq. (\[p2\]) and the first Eq. (\[x2\]), we find that $$p_{2}=2x_{2}+x_{0}-3c\ \mathrm{mod}(1).  \label{p2e}$$ Eq. (\[p2e\]) and the second Eq. (\[x2\]) imply that the region (\[B2\]) is the following set of phase-space points: $$\begin{aligned}
& &B^{(2)}=\left\{ (x,p)\right\} : \nonumber \\
& &\begin{cases}
x=-2x_1+p_1+3c\ \mathrm{mod}(1),\ \ (x_1,p_1)\in B^{(1)}, \\
p=2x+x_0-3c\ \mathrm{mod}(1),\ \ -b_2\leq x_0\leq b_1.
\end{cases}
\label{B2e}\end{aligned}$$ The region (\[B2e\]) is clearly a parallelogram of slope $2$ folded into $\mathbb{T}^{2}$, as shown in Fig. 10(c). The region $\bar{B}^{(2)}$ in Eq. (\[Bb2\]) is given by Eq. (\[B2e\]) with $x$ restricted to the interval $b_{1}<x<1-b_{2}$. Then, using also Eq. (\[p2e\]), we get for $(x_{0},p_{0})\in B$ and $(x_{2},p_{2})\in \bar{B}^{(2)}$: $$\begin{aligned}
& &\bar{M}\bar{B}^{(2)}=\left\{ (x,p)\right\} : \nonumber \\
& &\begin{cases}
p=p_{2}-3(x_{2}-c)\ \mathrm{mod}(1)=x_{0}-x_{2}\ \mathrm{mod}(1), \\
x=x_{2}+p\ \mathrm{mod}(1)=x_{0}\ \mathrm{mod}(1).
\end{cases}
\label{px3}\end{aligned}$$ The result (\[px3\]) and Eq. (\[B\]) imply Eq. (\[mb2\]).

**APPENDIX C: AIs AND THE


$B^{(2)}$ or $B\cap B^{(2)}$ but they are actually part of the region (\[B1\]). Thus, to calculate $S_{B\cap B^{(2)}}$ one must subtract from $b^{2}$ (the value of $S_{B\cap B^{(2)}}$ in the previous case) the areas of $def$ and $efg$. The area (\[SC\]) is then obtained by adding $S_{def}+S_{efg}$ to the expression (\[SC1\]). By comparing Fig. 12 with Fig. 11, it is clear that the areas $S_{def}$ and $S_{efg}$ can be calculated precisely as in Appendix D and $S_{def}+S_{efg}$ is given again by formula (\[SL\]). Therefore, the area (\[SC1\]) increases precisely by an amount equal to the area (\[SL\]) of the missing $L$ AI: $$S_{C}=3(b_{1}+b_{2})-3(b_{1}+b_{2})^{2}+(3c-3b_{1}-1)^{2}/2.  \label{SC2}$$ Similarly, when only the $L$ AI exists, one must add the area (\[SR\]) to (\[SC1\]): $$S_{C}=3(b_{1}+b_{2})-3(b_{1}+b_{2})^{2}+(2-3b_{2}-3c)^{2}/2.  \label{SC3}$$

[99]{} S. Flach, O. Yevtushenko, and*et al*.[@R23]), it is sometimes overlooked in AS analysis[@R24]--[@R30]. RASQUAL models overdispersion in total read counts and allele specific counts using a single parameter shared between the AS and between-individual components of the model. Modelling overdispersion in this way provided a very substantial increase in power and variant localisation over a Poisson-binomial model for both real and simulated data ([Fig 3e](#F3){ref-type="fig"}; [Supplementary Fig. 11](#SD1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). This result suggests that using non-overdispersed distributions to model AS signals may inflate the false positive rate, because random fluctuations in allelic ratios may not be properly accounted for (*e.g.*, [Supplementary Fig. 12a](#SD1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}).

RASQUAL also employs a novel, iterative approach to genotyping error that refines imperfect genotype calls from genome imputation. Prior to model fitting, we observed an excess of heterozygous SNPs exhibiting complete monoallelic


the null ([Supplementary Fig. 11f](#SD1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Additionally, a major advantage of modelling reference bias and mapping errors is the ability to identify and filter associations following QTL mapping.

Imprinting {#S9}
----------

Genomic imprinting is characterised by extreme allele-specific bias [@R31],[@R32] and can sometimes confound QTL mapping. An additional quality control feature of RASQUAL is the ability to highlight potentially imprinted regions. In RASQUAL, imprinting is detected by searching for sequenced features where all samples show allelic imbalance but, unlike a true *cis-*acting QTL, the identity of the silenced allele varies randomly between individuals (see [Supplementary Methods](#SD1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). RASQUAL provides an additional *P*-value that corresponds to the test for imprinting that can be used to remove putatively imprinted genes from the analysis. To test the performance of this QC filter, we identified putatively imprintedscales. Using the same procedure in permuted data we detected 56 multipeak caQTLs, of which 47 contained 1 dependent peak and 9 contained 2 dependent peaks suggesting that we find almost twice as many multipeak caQTLs as might expected under the null (OR = 2.3; *P* = 7.1 × 10^−7^). In some cases, these multipeak associations appeared to result from enhancer-promoter interactions that are perturbed by a genetic variant. For example, rs3763469 is the lead caQTL SNP for a region of open chromatin located approximately 2.5kb upstream of the promoter of the COL1A2 gene ([Fig. 4e](#F4){ref-type="fig"}) with the alternative allele predicted to increase binding affinity of the transcription factor IRF1. However, we observed that this SNP is also a caQTL for the adjacent ATAC peak located over the


paper.

An amendment snuck into the budget bill passed by the
Republican-controlled Ohio House on April 18 would force public
universities to decide between charging lucrative out-of-state tuition
rates or providing out-of-state students with documents required for
voting in Ohio, raising concerns from Democrats that Republicans are
attempting to limit voting


partisanship or gridlock in Congress.

Then came Obamacare. Brown said he was “proud” of his
vote and continued supporting the law, citing the millions of Americans it will
insure. Meanwhile, Mandel responded to the Obamacare question by saying, “The
federal government takeover of health care is not the answer.”

The fact of the matter is Obamacare is not a “government
takeover of health care.” Far from it. The plan doesn’t even have a public
option that would allow Americans to buy into a public, nonprofit insurance
pool — an idea that actually has majority support in the U.S. Instead,
Obamacare is a series of complicated reforms to the health insurance industry.
There are way too many reforms to list, but the most basic
effect of Obamacare is that more people will be insured. That’s right, in the
supposed “government takeoverduring the week of Oct. 20. Counties would have the right to tack on additional voting hours too.

The ruling is the latest chapter in Ohio's early votingsaga, and a setback for Ohio Gov. John R Kasich and Secretary of State Jon A. Husted. Both Republicans say measures to reduce early voting are an effort to make voting hours across the state more uniform. In February, Kasich signed into law a bill that eliminated Golden Week, effectively reducing the early voting period to 28 days from 35 days. Husted also issued a directive that lopped off evening and weekend hours. Such measures were necessary to reduce fraud, save money and create uniformity across the state, Kasich and his supporters have said.

The “ruling kicks the door open to having different


out of 5.6 million votes were cast early, according to the Ohio secretary of state’s office.

“This ruling will safeguard the vote for thousands of Ohioans during the midterm election,” said Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, in a press release. “If these cuts had been allowed to remain in place, many voters would have lost a critical opportunity to participate in our democratic process this November. This is a huge victory for Ohio voters and for all those who believe in protecting the integrity of our elections.”

Early in-person voting will now begin Sept. 30, not Oct. 7.

The state will review the ruling before deciding whether to appeal, said Republican Mike DeWine, a spokesman for the state attorney general.

U.S Attorney General Eric Holder says DOJ willat least get them thinking about working
together as a community for manufacturing jobs.

The Republican-controlled Ohio legislature yesterday
approved controversial election bills that reduce the state’s early voting period by one week and restrict
counties’ abilities to mail out unsolicited absentee ballot
applications. Democrats say the measures are meant to suppress voters,
but Republicans argue the changes are supposed to set uniform standards
across the state. At least one top Ohio Republican previously admitted the
measures were supposed to suppress voters, particularly “the urban —
read African-American — voter-turnout machine.” Gov. John Kasich is now
the only person that stands between the bill becoming law.

New crime lab moves forward, but Board of Elections decision remains in limbo

Hamilton County commissioners on Wednesday announced they
will accept a Mount Airy facility offered to the county as a gift by
Catholic Health Partners, opening the door to a new countymeasurable because of scattered enhancement' or 'not measurable tumour with benign enhancement pattern'. The reporting radiologists reviewed these cases and categorised them as either residual tumour not present (complete response (CR)) or residual tumour present (non-CR). At the time of the second reading the radiologists were blinded to the results of the pathological examination after surgery.

Post-processing of the DW MRI was performed using the commercially available nICE software package (Nordic NeuroLab, Bergen, Norway). ADC maps were calculated using a mono-exponential approach and all three b-values. Mean ADC for each breast tumour was obtained by manually drawing a region of interest (ROI) on the ADC map best depicting the tumour. DCE MRI and native 800 s/mm^2^ DW MR images were used to guide positioning of the ROI within the solid

Before treatment mean tumour ADC was 1.1 × 10^−3^ mm^2^/s, and there was no difference between the pCR and the non-pCR groups. Tumour ADC at Tp0 and Tp1 are shown in Fig. [4](#Fig4){ref-type="fig"}. It is noted that the non-pCR patient with a marked ADC increase (44%) was a near-pCR, pathological assessment showed residual tumour of 1.5 mm. Compared with baseline values, mean tumour ADC for the entire study population was significantly increased at Tp1 (1.4 × 10^−3^ mm^2^/s, *p* \< 0.001). Furthermore, mean tumour ADC in the pCR group (1.7 × 10^−3^ mm^2^/s; range, 1.0--2.1 × 10^−3^ mm^2^/s)was significantly higher than the mean value for the non-pCR group (1.2 × 10^−3^ mm^2^/s; range, 0.9--1.7 × 10^−3^ mm^2^/s) (*p* = 0.022).

At Tp0, ADC values were obtained from 27 lesions in 27 patients. At Tp1, the number of lesions from which ADC could be obtained was reduced to 22 due to image artefacts, scattered tumour growth or minimal disease/complete response.

which I did not notice till yesterday.

My other I-140 with PD March 2007 was pending till Jan 2008 and was approved in mid January. On the same day it was approved I noticed a soft LUD on my pending I-485 which has nothing to do with that I-140.

Now my question is, is it possible that USCIS mistakenly linked my recently approved I-140 (PD Mar 2007) to the pending I-1485? Is that possible? The reason for this worry is the soft LUD that saw on my 485 as mentioned above and the fact that my 485 receipt notice does not have a PD printed on it.

Is there anyway that I can verify which PD is linked to my 485 by contacting USCIS? I have heard of INFOPASS, would thatshort hair

Reliability of thermal quantitative sensory testing of the hand in a cohort of young, healthy adults.
The reliability of thermal quantitative sensory testing (QST) has yet to be fully established. In this study we investigated intra- and interrater reliability of thermal QST in a blinded manner. Two investigators recorded thermal detection and pain thresholds on the hand of 22 volunteers, twice on two occasions. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and coefficients of variation (CVs). Mean intraindividual differences were small for all measures except cold pain thresholds. ICC values for intra- and interrater reliability were: cold detection, 0.27-0.55; warm detection, 0.33-0.69; and heat pain, 0.39-0.86. Cold pain yielded high ICC values (0.87-0.94), but also high CV (84.9-90.2%). In young, healthy adults, thermal detection and heatway the new currency will hit up to 150 without verification if you research your bank account.

Indomethacin pretreatment reduces ozone-induced pulmonary function decrements in human subjects.
We studied whether O3-induced pulmonary function decrements could be inhibited by the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, indomethacin, in healthy human subjects. Fourteen college-age males completed six 1-h exposure protocols consisting of no drug, placebo, and indomethacin (Indocin SR 75 mg every 12 h for 5 days) pretreatments, with filtered air and O3 (0.35 ppm) exposures within each pretreatment. Pretreatments were delivered weekly in random order in a double-blind fashion. Ozone and filtered air exposures, separated by 72 h, were delivered in random order in a single-blind fashion. Exposures consisted of 1-h exercise on a bicycle ergometer with work loads set to elicit a mean minute ventilation of 60 L/min. Statistical analysis revealed significant (p less than 0.05) across pretreatment effects


for FVC and FEV1, with no drug versus indomethacin and placebo versus indomethacin comparisons being significant. These findings suggest that cyclooxygenase products of arachidonic acid, which are sensitive to indomethacin inhibition, play a prominent role in the development of pulmonary function decrements consequent to acute O3 exposure.game = Game.new(output)

The book tries to explain the reason for the error in an earlier section, but again I don't understand the explanation.

We've told the double in the first example to expect puts "Welcome to Codebreaker!" and we've satisfied that requirement, but we've only told it to expect "Welcome to Codebreaker!" It doesn't know anything about "Enter guess:"
Similarly, the double in the second example expects "Enter guess:" but the first message it gets is "Welcome to Codebreaker".

Expand the list of places where selling e-cigarettes is banned

Establish rules for the display and promotion of e-cigarettes and prohibit the testing of e-cigarettes in places where they are sold.

“We have enough evidence about vaping’s negative impact on lung health,” said Stevens Lavigne. “Furthermore, a recent study showed that teenagers who use e-cigarettes are twice as likely to go on to smoke tobacco.

“In the final analysis, it doesn’t make much difference whether it’s e-cigarette vapour or marijuana smoke – inhaling foreign substances damages your own lungs and those who breathe those substances second-hand.

“Every Ontarian has the right to breathe clean, fresh air. We urge the government to respect that right by passing thisEffect of enalapril on left ventricular mass and performance in essential hypertension.
The effect of enalapril on left ventricular (LV) morphology and function was studied in 12 hypertensive patients. The subjects were evaluated after 2 weeks of placebo and after 4 months of treatment with enalapril (20 or 40 mg once daily), using M-mode digitized echocardiograms. The drug reduced arterial blood pressure in all patients. Systemic vascular resistance decreased significantly without changes in cardiac output and heart rate. No patient had significant side effects. After treatment LV mass decreased significantly (233 +/- 46 to 204 +/- 37 g, p less than 0.01); the reduction was due to a decrease in septal and posterior wall thickness, without changes in LV diameter. LV systolic function remained unchanged, whereas peak lengthening rate


as demonstrated by the publication of reporting guidelines specific to such interventions \[[@CR1], [@CR2]\]. One way to do this is to work out the uncertainties of the trial design beforehand. A feasibility study can be used to determine whether a future main study can be done, while a pilot study is a subset of a feasibility study that resembles the main trial but with the overall aim to assess the feasibility rather than the effectiveness of a study protocol \[[@CR3]\]. Therefore pilot or feasibility studies can be conducted prior to a definitive RCT, to improve the chances of success in conducting a high-quality RCT of a physical activity intervention.

Reasons for conducting pilot or feasibility studies can fall under four categories: to inform process (e.g., feasibility of recruitment, retention,daily were eligible because they were only participating in one of the domains (i.e., daily aerobic physical activity), and a key focus of the intervention was resistance and balance training. Researchers should use a physical activity screening tool validated for the population of interest, e.g., International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity, or the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Intervention {#Sec6}
------------

A unique challenge in physical activity trials that can be evaluated in pilot/feasibility studies is feasibility of intervention implementation including fidelity of intervention delivery, assessment of intervention adherence, and consideration of factors that might influence adherence.

### Fidelity of intervention delivery {#Sec7}

There are two types of treatment fidelity that can be evaluated in pilot/feasibility studies: participant fidelity and instructor fidelity. Participant fidelity refers to whether the participant completes


on the feasibility objectives and not the secondary outcome measures. Sometimes, emphasis is placed on efficacy outcomes for which the pilot/feasibility trial was not designed or powered to assess. Outcomes related to the efficacy of the intervention can be measured, but should be treated as exploratory, and not hypothesis-testing. However, one could explore the feasibility of measuring the outcomes that will be used to assess efficacy in a future trial, e.g., potential for ceiling or floor effects, the time taken to complete assessments, and extent to which data is missing. Intention to treat analyses require imputation of missing data, but sometimes data are not missing at random e.g., because of difficulties completing performance-based measures, or higher drop-out rate in controls because of dissatisfaction with group allocation.
