by a 24-h i.v. infusion (0.5 microg/kg/min). Iberiotoxin reduced the vasorelaxant effect of nitroglycerin (E(max)) by 60% in endothelium-intact arteries and 13% in endothelium-denuded arteries (P<0.05). Development of nitroglycerin tolerance did not affect the response to iberiotoxin in the venous vascular segments (P>0.05) and (compared to arterial segments) veins were less sensitive to BK(Ca) channel blockade (30% reduction in E(max)) or endothelial removal. The results suggest that primarily arterial effects of nitroglycerin are significantly inhibited by changes in the activity of the endothelial BK(Ca) channels. Although endothelial BK(Ca) are likely regulators of mechanisms underlying arterial tolerance development to nitroglycerin, they do not appear to play a role in human venous nitroglycerin tolerance development.employers want in their company. But with part-time jobs sometimes just as difficult to find as graduate jobs, could the solution to this ‘up-skilling’ be in the form of voluntary work?

There is a widely accepted view amongst voluntary organisations, policy makers, the general public and often the jobless themselves that volunteering can have a positive impact in the search for employment. The most obvious reason being that employers will look for experience on a CV; a lone 2:1 on an A4 piece of paper will soon get lost in the pile of other applications.

The experience of working for a voluntary organisation will teach you valuable lessons that are transferrable to the world of paid work; time-keeping, reliability and balancing different tasks are all crucial skills both in the


be focussing solely on previous work experience and failing to recognise the voluntary work that can produce the same valuable skills that paid work does. Peter Cheese, CIPD Chief Executive, urged more employers to ask about the experience candidates might have in this area and, in doing so, they may realise that the exact skills they’re looking for are the ones the candidate has developed through voluntary work.C., for respondent Potomac Electric Power Co.
Vernon E. West, Corp. Counsel for the District of Columbia, and Lloyd B. Harrison, Asst. Corp. Counsel, both of Washington, D. C., for respondent Public Utilities Commission of the District of Columbia.
HOLTZOFF, District Judge.
These are three appeals from orders of the Public Utilities Commission of the District of Columbia increasing rates for electric power furnished by the Potomac Electric Power Company. Each of the appellants is a consumer and claims that the increases granted by the Commission are not warranted. The appeals were consolidated for hearing.
These appeals are taken pursuant to a statute, D.C.Code, 1940 Ed., Title 43, Section 705, which confers on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia jurisdiction to hear and determine any appeal from an


United States, 272 U.S. 658, 663, 47 S.Ct. 222, 71 L.Ed. 463. The judicial function is exhausted when there is found to be a rational basis for the conclusions approved by the administrative body."
The questions that this Court may consider, therefore, are: first, whether the Commission has committed any error of law vitiating its order; second, whether its conclusions are adequately supported by findings of fact; and third, whether the findings of fact are sustained by substantial evidence.
Before entering on a discussion of the merits, a preliminary procedural matter should be mentioned. The applicable statute, in effect, provides that in order to be qualified to appeal from an order of the Commission, the party claiming to be aggrieved must make an application to the Commission for reconsideration withingas companies to reduce interstate wholesale rates. The companies sought a review of the order. One of the objections raised was the failure of the Commission to separate property used in intrastate business from that used in interstate commerce. The Court considered such a segregation unnecessary. It sustained the action of the Commission. In its opinion it referred to The Minnesota Rate Cases and Smith v. Illinois Bell Tel. Co., supra, but distinguished them on the ground that they involved State regulation of interstate rates of companies doing both an intrastate and interstate business. On this point the Court made the following comments, 324 U.S. at page 589, 65 S.Ct. at page 833, 89 L.Ed. 1206:
"When Congress, as here, fails to provide a formula for the Commission to


General Services Administration, who testified in behalf of the United States, expressed the view that 5.5% would be a liberal rate of return, and that there was no justification for any return in excess of that. He recommended that the company be placed on a 5.5% basis.
Each of the three witnesses supported his opinion by detailed oral testimony and numerous documentary exhibits. Among them were charts showing the Federal Reserve Board index of prices of utilities stocks from 1920 to 1950, and a chart disclosing the ratio of yield on bonds of public utilities during the same period. A more detailed discussion of the evidence would be out of place. The foregoing summary indicates that there is sufficient foundation for the finding of the Commission that 5.5% wouldsleep without CPAP. She already had the electricity service disconnected.

Comments for Can I Die If The CPAP Power Goes Out?

If you have concerns about losing power you get an Uninterruptable Power Supply, the kind you would purchase for your computer or stereo. CPA uses such a low-level o power that one of these should support the unit until the power is restored.

We had a thunderstorm that caused a brown-out, that is the lights flickered. This set my CPAP into cool down mode. It was like someone banging on my mask and wok in a flash. Ordering another UPS this week.

and work in the home. Complete information was also provided on family
composition, type of living quarters, housing accommodations, fuel and

use, purchase of reading materials, educational expenses,
miscellaneous occupational expenses, gifts furnished, taxes paid,
automobile expenses, personal care costs, and a detailed appraisal of
all changes in family assets and liabilities over the course of the
previous year. Families also reported the quantity of food items

different methods of using income remaining after expenses were met,
e.g., investing in stocks or putting money in savings. In addition,
the survey explored in detail the subject of housing, e.g., previous
and present home ownership, value of respondent's dwelling, and
mortgage information. Further questions concerned life insurance
(including number of policies, types, and premiums) and common stock
ownership, purchases, and sales. The 1950 survey included a separate
questionnaire for farmers that contained differing questions on
sources of income and housing. Personal data include number of people
in the spending unit, age, sex, and education of the head, and the
race and sex of the respondent.

The present invention relates to thermotropic aromatic polyester(amide) fibers, more particularly to the monofilaments of such polymers, and to processes for obtaining such monofilaments.
The production from thermotropic aromatic polyester(amide) of conventional multifilament fibers formed of a large number of filaments of low elementary diameter (typically from about 20 to 30 xcexcm) or of unit monofilaments of large diameter (at least 40 xcexcm) by melt-spinning the polymer, generally followed by heat treatment referred to as post-polycondensation, is a known technique.

To obtain these aromatic polyesterthe polymer having recurrent units A and B previously defined, was particularly beneficial to obtaining an initial modulus Mi of between 2500 and 4000 cN/tex, more preferably at least equal to 3000 cN/tex and less than 4000 cN/tex. For such preferred conditions, when the process is used to obtain single-threads of circular section of a diameter of 100 to 200 xcexcm, furthermore, more preferably, the following conditions are used: the spinning rate (see Vf hereafter) lies within a range from 500 to 1000 m/min and the thickness of the layer of gaseous fluid (Ag) is selected to be greater than 0.50 meters and less than 2.0 meters.

Rules of vision – part II (27 Oct 2016)

Rules of visiongap confines the optical mode laterally and vertically, while the sub-wavelength size of the resonator localizes the optical mode longitudinally. Consequently, the resonator supports only a single dipole mode near the wavelength of 1500 nm with a mode volume of only 1.3 × 10^−5^ λ~0~^3^ that can be excited efficiently by simple top illumination. Furthermore, the high density of uniform resonators in the array, made possible by nanoimprinting, results in very high transmission efficiency of 1.4\~13% such that the plasmon resonance can easily be explored in simple transmission measurements. Finally, we demonstrate the advantage of such resonator arrays for biosensor applications. For surface coverage of the BSA molecules, the gap mode showed surface sensitivity up to 69 nm/nm as the modal height approaches the thickness of the adsorbed BSA layers.

Movie S1 (a)](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"} and [(b)](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"} also show propagations of resonant and non-resonant light, respectively, normally incident on a 5-nm gap resonator. At resonance, the incident wave is funneled through the gap so that a large fraction of the incident light is transmitted. Off resonance, the incident wave is nearly completely reflected, with very little transmission through the resonator.

Measurement of resonant transmission through the gap
----------------------------------------------------

The dipole-like gap-plasmonic WGMs also enable their efficient excitation by vertical illumination, and their observation in a simple transmission measurement. [Figure 3a--f](#f3){ref-type="fig"} show the calculated and measured transmission spectra for the resonator arrays shown in [Fig. 1d--f](#f1){ref-type="fig"}. The agreement between measured and observed spectra is excellent, with an experimental transmission of 13% obtained from the resonator with 15 nm gap. The transmission is reduced to 1.4%calculated to be proportional to the pitch.

### Surface sensitivity

In order to confirm the results of simulations and measurements, and to reveal the advantage of the resonator structures, we demonstrate sensitivity for surface change of the resonator arrays. We first investigate numerically the sensitivity of the resonator structure. As shown in [Fig. 4a](#f4){ref-type="fig"}, when the structures are fully emerged in an analyte, the bulk sensitivity is estimated to be 800\~1,500 nm/RIU, quite high among the resonator-based sensors but modest when compared to existing Kretschmann SPR systems[@b43]. However, we note that bulk sensitivity is simply proportional to the extension of the optical mode into the analyte, and does not fully reflect the advantage of the molecular range optical confinement provided by gap plasmon resonators. This is demonstrated in [Fig. 4b](#f4){ref-type="fig"}, which


array structure in a 10% BSA solution for 3 hrs at room temperature. The uniformity of the BSA layer was confirmed by the near independence of the changes in the transmission spectra upon the location of the beam spot (data not shown). [Figure 4c--e](#f4){ref-type="fig"} shows the measured transmission spectra for resonator arrays shown in [Figs 1](#f1){ref-type="fig"}, [2](#f2){ref-type="fig"}, [3](#f3){ref-type="fig"} after BSA coverage. For the resonators with large gaps, an accurate estimate of the peak shift is difficult due to the presence of the transmission dip at 1142 nm, as discussed above. However, for resonators with estimated gap sizes of 15 nm and 5 nm, a clear shift of 75 nm and 250 nm, corresponding to surface sensitivity of 21 nm/nm and 69 nm/nm, respectively, can be observed. We note that it is possible to shrink the gapanother important resonator parameter is the Q factor of the resonator. [Figure 4g](#f4){ref-type="fig"} shows the measured and calculated Q factors of resonators with different gap sizes, as obtained from Lorentzian fittings on the experimental transmission spectra. As the gap size decreases from 15 nm to 5 nm with concomitant decrease of mode volume from 8.2 × 10^−5^ λ~0~[@b3] to 1.3 × 10^−5^ λ~0~[@b3] and increase in the surface sensitivity from 21 nm/nm to 69 nm/nm, the Q factor remains nearly constant, decreasing from 7.2 to 6.2 only. Consequently, the FOM of the resonator-based biosesnors, which we define to be FOM = (Sensitivity/FWHM)[@b53] is also highly enhanced upon reduction of the gap sizes, as shown in [Fig. 4h](#f4){ref-type="fig"}.

The radiation lumen is sealed at the distal end of the catheter body to fully retain the irradiation ribbon and its incorporated radioactive material.
A guidewire channel is formed on the catheter body, separate from the radiation lumen, with at least a portion of the guidewire channel being formed near the distal end of the catheter body. In a first embodiment, the guidewire channel can be formed as a channel alongside the distal portion of the catheter body. In this first embodiment, the guidewire channel can be sufficiently long to reach the area of the stenosis while also passing through a guide catheter O-ring. A guidewire channel


can be rotated to orient the bent portion of the guidewire in the direction in which it is desired to displace the catheter. Then, the guidewire can be slightly withdrawn, pulling one or more bends back into the distal end of the guidewire channel. The bend in the guidewire can cause the guidewire to exert a force against the wall of the guidewire channel, resulting in the desired flexing of the catheter body in the direction of the force, placing the distal end of the catheter in the desired radial location.
To implement an alternative method of use, the catheter may also be provided with a means for positioning the radiation source radially within the blood vessel. Most often, this positioning means will be used to center the radiationend of each loop can be attached to an expansion means which is movable longitudinally by the user to move the free ends of the wire loops toward the attached ends. This movement causes the loops to expand outwardly. The loops can be mounted at spaced intervals about the periphery of the catheter body, to center the catheter within the blood vessel upon expansion. The expansion means can be relatively stiff wires designed to push on proximally located free ends of the wire loops, or they can be wires designed to pull on distally located free ends of the wire loops. Self expanding wire loops would expand without the aid of such expansion means, upon withdrawal of a retaining sheath.

it associates with nascent transcripts through specific heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) ([@R9], [@R10]); and it is involved in long-range chromatin organization ([@R11]--[@R13]) and DNA damage repair ([@R14]--[@R16]). Despite recent progress, the mechanisms whereby nuclear actin regulates gene expression remain unclear.

Recent studies have revealed that serum stimulation induces dynamic assembly of nuclear actin filaments, which regulates the SRF-MAL signaling pathway, a key pathway involved in inducible gene expression ([@R17]). Noteworthily, we and others reported that serum stimulation also markedly changes the dynamics of "transcription factories" ([@R18], [@R19]), which are discrete RNA polymerase II (Pol II)--clustered foci implicated in gene regulation ([@R20]--[@R24]). Thus, it would be intriguing to determine whether these two serum stimulation--dependent phenomena are physiologically connected. Here, we formulate a hypothesis that nuclear actin regulates inducible transcription by5-ethynyl uridine (EU) and Click Chemistry--based conjugation of dyes to EU (Materials and Methods). We quantified the colocalization between Pol II clusters and nascent RNA by pair cross-correlation analysis ([@R28]) and found that the colocalization was evidently higher than that of pixel-permutated images (fig. S1, C and D). Together, we reason that Pol II clusters form on specific serum-response genes for active transcription upon serum stimulation.

Serum stimulation enhances the spatiotemporal dynamics of Pol II clustering
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We previously reported that Pol II forms clusters in the nucleus and that these clusters appeared and disappeared in an asynchronous manner ([@R19]). To quantify the spatiotemporal dynamics of Pol II clusters at higher resolution, we recorded live-cell photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) ([@R26]) images of this stable cell line ([Fig. 2A](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). Pair-correlation analysis ([@R28])


the cluster parameters in cells overexpressing these actin mutants compared to those under normal growth condition (fig. S4). These results suggest that dynamic polymerization and depolymerization of nuclear actin is required for enhanced-level Pol II clustering upon serum stimulation but is dispensable for basal-level Pol II clustering under normal growth condition.

Besides, a recent study investigated the role of nuclear actin in basal-level transcription and Pol II clustering ([@R49]), complementing our work in inducible transcription under external stimuli.

Our data suggest that nuclear actin may work as a dynamic scaffold to foster the formation of enhanced-level Pol II clusters through a phase separation mechanism ([Fig. 6](#F6){ref-type="fig"} and fig. S8). The phase separation of N-WASP through its proline-rich motif has been shown to facilitate Arp2/3-branched actin polymerization ([@R42]). The phase separation of Pol II through the CTD of the RPB1 subunit is regulated by CTD phosphorylation and plays a role in promoter escape and transcription elongation ([@R40], [@R41], [@R43]). N-WASP and Arp2/3 physically associate with Pol II, and this

Sample preparation for ImmunoFISH
---------------------------------

The sample was prepared for ImmunoFISH as previously described ([@R58]), with minor modifications. For each hybridization, we used the DNA probe (2 ng/μl) in hybridization solution (namely, 100 ng of the FISH probe was precipitated and dissolved in 50 μl of the hybridization buffer). The hybridization buffer contained 50% formamide, 10% dextran sulfate, 2× SSC, and 1% Tween 20. Unlabeled competitor DNA (Cot-1 DNA and salmon sperm DNA) was added to the probes to inhibit nonspecific hybridization. The concentration of the competitor DNA was approximately 10 to 50 times that of the probe DNA. Therefore, we added 100 ng of the labeled probes, 10 μg of the unlabeled salmon sperm DNA, 1 μg of the unlabeled human Cot-1 DNA, and nuclease-free waterIn today’s world, tech has evolved to the point where consumer standards are at an all-time high.

Supporters of the Common Core Standards claim that the new expectations will prepare students for college, touting certain skills that are needed to succeed beyond the high school classroom. However, nothing within the Common Core seems to mimic the amount of choices that are afforded you when you attend college. Universities pride themselves as a place where you can challenge your intellect, experiment with your interests, and develop your own sense of intrinsic motivation. To achieve this, you’re allowed to pick and choose the classes you want to take, within the limitations of the major you selected. But how often do we see this type of freedom in high school curricula? How much can the Common Core really prepare students for college if they don’t

At the close of the semester, students presented their work in a Ted Talk style presentation. I attended their Ted Talk 20%, and my expectations were blown away. Kelli had briefly shared some of the students’ successes with me prior to the Ted Talk, but hearing the students talk about their projects really displayed what they learned, which was so much more than the typical high school curriculum could provide.

Among the many academic skills that were honed as the students learned the details of their projects, there were two qualities that really jumped out at me as I sat in the auditoriuma copy to admissions@tisc.edu.

In the sponsorship letter, it should be clearly stated that the sponsor will cover all school and living expenses.

"There is also the question of the mystifying speed with which vibrations travel through the Moons hard, interior layer. As Werner von Braun tells us: The velocity (of seismic waves seems to gradually increase down to a depth of about 15 miles then there is a sharp increase. This increase can only be accounted for by a change to a denser material...At a depth of 40 miles, the velocity is estimated to be about 6 miles per second... No rocks examined thus far would, under the actual pressures expected to be at a lunar depth of 40 miles, transmit seismic impulses at speeds


as high as 6 miles per second. (Popular Science January, 1972 pp. 67-68)." "What kind of material would carry sounds at that speed? Strange that a check of the speed of sound through the probable intermixture of metals (Iron, Titanium, Beryllium, Molybdenum, and Yttrium) that exists in the outer maria averages out to be about 6 miles per second...

Its too far out to be a true satellite of Earth... Its too BIG to have been CAPTURED by the Earth. The chances of such a capture having been effected and the Moon then having taken up a nearly circular orbit about the Earth are too small to make such an eventuality credible. "

" But, then, if the Moon is neither a true satellite of the Earth nor a captured one, what is it?

    Assessing and improving the quality of data are fundamental challenges for data-intensive systems that have given rise to numerous applications targeting transformation and cleaning of data. However, while schema design, data cleaning, and data migration are nowadays reasonably well understood in isolation, not much attention has been given to the interplay between the tools addressing issues in these areas. We focus on the problem of determining whether the available data-processing procedures can be used together to bring about the desired quality characteristics of the given data. For an illustration, consider an organization that is introducing new data-analysis tasks. Depending on the tasks, it may be a priority for the organization to determine whether its data can be processed and transformed using the available


it preserves all the tuples present in *LocVisits* before the application of the procedure. We shall soon see how to encode these guarantees into our framework.

Suppose that after a while, the requirements of one of the partner agencies of the organization impose an additional requirement: Relation *LocVisits* should also contain information about the age of the patients. Suppose the organization also has a relation *Patients*, where the patient age is recorded in attribute *age*, together with [*facility*]{}and *patientId*. To migrate the patient ages into *LocVisits*, one needs the following steps: First add the attribute [*age*]{}to *LocVisists*, and then update this table so that the patient ages are as recorded in *Patients*. We observe that all the procedures involved in this operation can be captured using the same frameworkegds as pre- and postconditions, and that our safe queries are all conjunctive queries. The last example calls for extending the language used to define procedures.

Data Exchange
-------------

We have already seen an example of specifying data-migration tasks as black-box procedures. However, a more detailed discussion will allow us to illustrate some of the basic properties of our framework. Following the notation introduced by Fagin et al. in [@FKMP05], the most basic instance of the data-exchange problem considers a source schema ${{\cal S}}_\text{s}$, a target schema ${{\cal S}}_\text{t}$, and a set $\Sigma$ of dependencies that define how data from the source schema are to be mapped to the target schema. The dependencies in $\Sigma$ are usually tgds whose left-hand side is compatible with ${{\cal S}}_\text{s}$, and the right-hand side is


$\sum_{F \in {\mathcal{F}}} {\frac{1}{\binom{n+2}{{\left\lvert{F}\right\rvert}+1}}}\le \frac{1}{2}+o(1)$.

In general, if we had a better matrix instead of $M_{{\mathcal{Q}}}$ that we could use, we could even hope for the following daring conjecture about our “shifted” Lubell function, which generalizes a conjecture of Griggs and Lu [@GLu]. Let $e(P)$ (resp. $e^{\#}(P)$) be the maximum number $m$ such that for all $n$, the union of the $m$ middle levels of $2^{[n]}$ is $P$-free (resp. induced $P$-free).

If $P$ is a poset of dimension $d$, then for every $P$-free family ${\mathcal{F}}$ we have$\sum_{F \in {\mathcal{F}}} {\frac{1}{\binom{n+2d-2}{{\left\lvert{F}\right\rvert}+d-1}}}\le \frac{e(P)}{4^{d-1}} +o(1)$ and thus $|{\mathcal{F}}|\le (e(P) + o(1))\binom{n}{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}$ and for every induced $P$-free ${\mathcal{F}}$ we have $\sum_{F \in {\mathcal{F}}} {\frac{1}{\binom{n+2d-2}{{\left\lvert{F}\right\rvert}+d-1}}}\le \frac{e^{\#}(P)}{4^{d-1}} +o(1)$ and thus $|{\mathcal{F}}|\le (e^{\#}(P) + o(1))\binom{n}{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}$.

Human basophils possess receptors for interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-4. The effect of 3 days of intravenous administration of IL-2 and/or IL-4 on basophil histamine release was examined in three groups of patients receiving IL-2, IL-4, or the combination of agents as part of a protocol to treat malignant melanoma or renal cell carcinoma. Because all patients received ranitidine for control of side effects, a control group of patients receiving ranitidine for Zollinger-Ellison's syndrome was also studied. IL-4 significantly inhibited IgE-mediated histamine release, while there was a trend for enhancement of IgE-mediated histamine release by IL-2. Administration of the combination of IL-2 and IL-4 did not alter IgE-mediated basophil


qualities to different users due to their difference in transceiver design, geographic location, etc. The idea is to have the user with the best condition on a channel use it. This diversity gain can be obtained to some degree by using techniques like stopping time rules whereby a user essentially judges for itself whether the condition is sufficiently good before transmitting, which comes as a byproduct of utilizing temporal diversity.

We note that the above forms of diversities are often studied in isolation. For instance, temporal diversity is studied in a multiuser setting but with a single channel in [@Zheng:2009:DOS:1669334.1669354; @Tan:2010:DOS:1833515.1833882]; spectral diversity is analyzed for a single user in [@Shu:2009:TSC:1614320.1614325], among others. More specifically, [@Zheng:2009:DOS:1669334.1669354] used temporal diversity in a multi-user setting and developed optimal stopping policies [@uclastopping].maximize the ratio between this reward and the total amount of time spent in the decision process (summing up the delays involved in switching and contention as a result of the actions), i.e., the effective or average throughput or data rate. While this appears to be a standard rate-of-return problem, an inherent difficulty arises from the fact that different channels have different statistics, and thus the rewards generated and the delays experienced, respectively, are not independent across channels. This prevents the use of the renewal theorem to turn the expectation of the aforementioned ratio (average throughput) into a ratio of expectations as is commonly done. To address this difficulty, we will make the following simplification: instead of maximizing the overall rate of return for each successful transmission over


may be obtained using $\lambda^{*} = \frac{\int_{\lambda^{*}}^{\bar{X}^i} x f_{X^i}(x)dx}{P(X^i \geq \lambda^{*}) + {t}^c_i/T}$ and verifying[^4] that the resulting $\lambda^{*} \geq c_i$.

The quantity $c_i$ defined above is the expected reward of SWITCH, while $\lambda^*$ is the threshold for making a decision between the set {STOP, SWITCH} and STAY. The optimal policy given in the above theorem is illustrated in Figure \[ill\_policy\], which can be viewed as a sequence of two YES/NO questions used in decision making involving two thresholds. (1) If $\lambda^*< c_i$, then the optimal decision is either STOP or SWITCH depending on whether $x> c_i$. If the current condition is very good ($x>c_i$) then the decision is STOP; otherwise SWITCH. In this case the reward from switching is sufficiently good that we will never consider STAY. (2)E\{V^{'}_{i}\}, \forall i \in \Omega$. \[lemma2\]

This lemma conveys the intuition that when the load increases, competition increases leading to longer delays. Thus the expected throughput decreases in general. We next establish the stability of the system under the nested stopping policy, starting with an assumption.

No channel is dominant, i.e., there is no single channel that will attract all arrivals under the nested stopping policy. \[assupsta\]

This assumption excludes the extreme case where a single channel is of far better quality (e.g., very high data rate) that even considering the cost in competition it is beneficial to always switch to this channel, no matter the conditions observed in the other channels.

The arrival processes are ergodic under the nested stopping policy and Assumption \[assupsta\]. \[staiid\]

channel than channel 1. We also consider a more practical AWGN wireless channel model considering both propagation loss and shadowing effects. The transmission rates are given by the Shannon capacity formula for AWGN channels: $R = \log(1+\rho | h |^{2}) \textrm{ nats/s/Hz}$, where $h$ denotes the random channel gain with a complex Gaussian distribution. Moreover, the cdf of transmission rate is given by $F_R(r) = 1 - \text{exp}(-\frac{\text{exp}(r)-1}{\rho}), r \geq 0$. Consider a scenario with five channels with average SNR $\rho$ given by $10, 25, 20, 30, 10$, respectively, and similar performance results are observed as shown in Figures \[wlfig1\] and \[wlfig2\].

The Markovian channel model

We now simulate the nested stopping policy under a Markovian channel model. We model all five channels’ state (again taken to be the instantaneous    75     25     50     25

The performance results are shown in Figs. \[mcfig4\] and \[mcfig6\]. With a slow changing model, users are more likely to transmit using the currently sampled rate instead of releasing it and waiting for a future opportunity while risking another contention period. In other words, opportunistic access in this case provides only marginal improvement over the non-opportunistic method. We also provide the decision table in this case in Table \[table2\].

[Diagnosis of subtypes and lateralization for primary hyperaldosteronism].
To evaluate the value of CT and posture stimulation test (PST) in the differential diagnosis and lateralization of primary hyperaldosteronism(PA). Retrospective study was done based on the clinical data and pathological examinations of 22 patients with PA. The baseline plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) of most aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) was over 250 pg.ml-1. In the diagnosis of APA, the sensitivity of CT was 75% and the specificity of CT was 100%; the sensitivity and specificity of PST were 87% and 100%, respectively. The examination results of CT and PST had no statistical significant correlativity (P > 0.05) and had bad consistency (P > 0.05), and the diagnostic efficiency of them had no significant difference (P > 0.05). The baseline PAC and theshould focus on predictability levels significantly above 0 in order to fill confident about/trust the signal.

Endothelin (ET)-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor that participates in cardiovascular diseases. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a novel fibrotic mediator that is overexpressed in human atherosclerotic lesions, myocardial infarction, and experimental models of hypertension. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), CTGF regulates cell proliferation/apoptosis, migration, and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation. Our aim was to investigate whether ET-1 could regulate CTGF and to investigate the potential role of ET-1 in vascular fibrosis. In growth-arrested rat VSMCs, ET-1 upregulated CTGF mRNA expression, promoter activity, and protein production. The blockade of CTGF by a CTGF antisense oligonucleotide decreased FN and type I collagen expression in ET-1-treated cells, showing that CTGF


What is the greatest thing in sports? Is it championships? Records? Honours? In the Palestra, the University of Pennsylvania basketball arena, a plaque offers a different perspective on the greatest thing in sports. It reads: “To win the game is great. To play the game is greater. But to love the game is the greatest of all.” This is a refreshing reminder that sports are, after all, just the games we played with joy as kids.

A religious leader once asked Jesus about greatness: “Which is the great commandment?” (Matt. 22:36). Jesus responded by challenging that leader to love—love God and love others. Jesus said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the firstfor the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

The coalition also is concerned that legal immigrants will have their fingerprints in the database, searched millions of times a year, along with other criminal and civilian prints. This violates the principle of equal treatment under the law, Bedoya said.

The group also pointed to 2012 research that found that facial recognition technology has lower rates of accuracy for black people, women and young people.

Such shortcomings are compounded by the fact, the coalition says, that blacks and Latinos are arrested at disproportionately higher rates than whites, putting them at greater risk of being placed in a suspect pool.

But FBI officials said that any potential lead is drawn from a photo lineup of between two and 50 candidates and the result is reviewed by two technicians

Despite these analytical issues, METs often produce decades of phenotypic data, whichin GWAS, including 8 quantitative phenotypes and 14 qualitative phenotypes created from visual scores and/or specific measurements ([Figure 2A](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}). The output from the R script used to standardize the phenotypes across locations and years can be found online at <http://rpubs.com/alice_macqueen/CDBN_Phenotype_Standardization>.

We generated phenotypes associated with location code, year, and genotype information. A total of 70 location codes were created as four-letter abbreviations with the U.S. state or Canadian province abbreviation as the first two letters, and the specific site abbreviation as the second two letters. Five location codes ending in "2" corresponded to a second trial grown at that location and year, usually with a treatment such as drought or disease applied. Location codes were associated with latitude, longitude, elevation, and other location-specific metadata (Table S2), while genotypes were


GAPIT, and by selecting the number of PCs that maximized the Bayesian information criterion. Typically, zero to two PCs were used (Table S3). The final Manhattan plots were created using the ggman R package. Plots of intersecting sets were created using the UpSetR package ([@bib34]). Candidate genes within a 20-kb interval centered on the peak SNP with *P*-values above a Benjamini--Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) threshold of 0.1 were examined further. In a balanced GWAS panel that had many identical genotypes, this interval size was suitable for capturing LD in the data ([@bib47]).

### Comparison to published genome-wide associations in common bean: {#s8}

Out of the 21 BLUPs estimated from CDBN phenotypes, a group of 13 also had published associations from GWAS on common bean. To compare the major associationsto determine the narrow-sense heritability, *h*^2^, potentially explainable by GWAS. *h*^2^ varied between 6 and 73% in the 21 phenotypic BLUPs ([Table 1](#t1){ref-type="table"}), reflecting the substantial amount of environmental variation in the data set. We then determined the correlations between the BLUPs of CDBN phenotypes or the genetic correlations. Correlation coefficients between BLUPs of CDBN phenotypes varied between −0.75 and 0.81, and most phenotypes were significantly correlated (Figure S1). Two major groups of phenotypes were positively correlated: biomass, days to flowering, plant height, zinc deficiency score, days to maturity, blackroot presence/absence, and early vigor were in the first of these groups, and white mold damage score, growth habit, seed yield, harvest index, lodging, rust damage score, bean common mosaic virus damage score, and halo blight damage score were


maturity, plant height, and seed appearance score. It was also associated with increases in common bacterial blight (CBB) damage score, harvest index, root rot damage score, rust damage score, seed fill duration, white mold damage score, and zinc deficiency damage score ([Figure 3D](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}). Here, higher damage scores indicate increased levels of damage. The alternate allele for the SNP on Pv01 at 42.2 Mb was associated with significant decreases in biomass, days to flowering, growth habit (as an increased tendency toward determinacy), harvest index, lodging score, plant height, and seed yield, and increases in root rot damage score ([Figure 3E](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}). The allele was also significantly associated with earlier "earliest year in the CDBN," indicating that this allele has been declining in frequency in entries in the CDBN over time.entries.

Third, our results are consistent with the recent history of breeding efforts in common bean, and provide a map of the genomic regions that have been associated with improvement in the species. Using mash, we found two major genomic regions on Pv01 associated with many CDBN phenotypes ([Figure 3B](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}). Though SNPs for mash were chosen to have low LD (r^2^ \< 0.2), significant SNPs nonetheless highlight two, large linked regions on chromosome 1 that have effects on many phenotypes. Regions of this size (15 and 11 Mb) with evidence for significant effects almost certainly require the presence of multiple linked genes with effects on multiple phenotypes. Linked effects do not preclude pleiotropic effects occurring at single loci within this large region, though molecular confirmation of pleiotropy is still

Or: Why a pan of black beans is like burnt orange toile is like a poem. And why we need them all.

Textile art by my friend Patty (using my Daily Shorty method).

Not too long ago, I spent an afternoon cooking a meal for friends struggling with a very painful loss. I was reeling from the news myself, which I’d received the evening before. The only thing I know to do for someone in pain, besides listen, is to feed them. So I went through my pantry, came up with a dish I could make, and started cooking.

As I tasted the black beans that were an element of the dish, as I added a little heat, some acid, a bit of floral sweet, my breathless anger—why should they havejust keep adapting to the new me, with ever-changing targets and ever-evolving strategies.

As for the writing itself, I am a vertical writer who has learned how to incorporate some horizontal habits. And I’ll mention one other element of my process because I’ve discovered that it surprises people when they hear it, yet I can’t understand why: I never consider a story finished (well, as finished as possible, anyway, which is more how I see a story that I think is ready for submission) until I have gone through that final draft for the purpose of examining every single individual word. Is this word necessary? Yes, I think it is. Can you justify that belief? Yes, I think I can. Okay, how about this word? You know, now that


you ask me, I have to say that this word is unnecessary. There, it’s gone. Okay, how about this word? And so on.

And so ends my part of this tour! Next week, my friend and fellow alum Stephanie Friedman will talk about her process. Stephanie writes short stories that start off quiet but then sneak up on you before you’re quite prepared, which makes the surprise revelation or action or image particularly satisfying. As I’ve told her a couple of times, her work reminds me of Grace Paley, and I don’t see how a writer can ever go wrong doing that. She’s also an astute reader, a generous teacher, a loving wife and mom, and just an all-around thoroughly fantastic person. Here’s a page devoted to the DailyChronic amitriptyline treatment induces hippocampal NGFI-A, glucocorticoid receptor and mineralocorticoid receptor mRNA expression in rats.
Adult male rats were treated with the antidepressant drug amitriptyline for 21 days and the expression of specific transcription factors was examined. NGFI-A mRNA expression was increased in the hippocampus and in the cerebral cortex. MR mRNA was increased in the hippocampus while GR mRNA was increased in selective hippocampal regions. There was no change in the NGFI-B mRNA expression. Thus, NGFI-A may be a mediator of plasticity-related phenomena induced by antidepressant drugs.

A:

It appears as though you have a program set up too automatically run GEDIT when starting a shell (Or you're trying to open it). This won't work via ssh because you don't have an X-Server running in your current session.
As for the issue with running ssh -X -l root your-machine-name your copy of ssh wasn't compiled to support the -X option
Basically you:

Need an X-Server running in your session
Need to recompile ssh with support for -X optioon

# 9.9 Go  channel 实现原理分析

channel一个类型管道，通过它可以在goroutine之间发送和接收消息。它是Golang在语言层面提供的goroutine间的通信方式。

众所周知，Go依赖于称为CSP（Communicating Sequential Processes）的并发模型，通过Channel实现这种同步模式。Go并发的核心哲学是不要通过共享内存进行通信; 相反，通过沟通分享记忆。

下面以简单的示例来演示Go如何通过channel来实现通信。

```
package main
import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)
func goRoutineA(a <-chan int) {
	val := <-a
	fmt.Println("goRoutineA received the data", val)
}
func goRoutineB(b chan int) {
	val := <-b
	fmt.Println("goRoutineB  received the data", val)
}
func main() {
	ch := make(chan int, 3)
	go goRoutineA(ch)
	go goRoutineB(ch)
	ch <- 3
	time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
}

```

结果为：

goRoutineA received the data 3

上面只是个简单的例子，只输出goRoutineA ，没有执行goRoutineB，说明channel仅允许被一个goroutine读写。

接下来我们通过源代码分析程序执行过程，在讲之前，如果不了解go 并发和调度相关知识。请阅读这篇文章

说道channel这里不得不提通道的结构hchan。

### hchan

源代码在src/runtime/chan.go

```
type hchan struct {
   qcount   uint           // total data in the queue
   dataqsiz uint           // size of the circular queue
   buf      unsafe.Pointer // points to an array of dataqsiz elements
   elemsize uint16
   closed   uint32
   elemtype *_type //

U.S. Pat. No. 6,046,586, entitled “Crossed-loop resonator structure for spectroscopy,” describes a resonator structure including a first resonator having a first resonator loop formed by a hollow channel with conductive walls and a second resonator having a second resonator loop formed by a hollow channel with conductive walls.1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for insulating beverage containers and container stock material. In particular, the present invention relates to an insulated, paper-based beverage container or stock material having improved insulation properties and a method of producing these insulated containers or stock materials.
2. Description of the Background Art
Current standard paper cup stock permits excessive heat transfer through the wall of an insulated beverage container. Accordingly, a user""s hand becomes uncomfortably or sometimes even painfully hot when excessive heat transfer is permitted through the container wall. This may require the user to be inconvenienced by having to release the container due to the excessive heat of the container""s contents. An analogous but opposite situation can occur with very cold beverages, where

Provide context

Context sets the stage for a successful delivery. By communicating how everything interrelates, people are much more likely to understand the importance of what they're looking at. Ensure that the design is self-contained and doesn't break people out of the experience except for when it's entirely necessary to communicate purpose.

Avoid jargon

Remember that the experience is about them (the customer), not you (the business). Like going to a foreign country and expecting the lady behind the counter to understand English, it's just as rude to talk to your visitors using lingo that's internal to your companyget through. Designs should have flourishes of warmth, kindness, whimsy, richness, seduction, wit—anything that incites passion and makes the person feel engaged and energized.

Less is more

This isn't necessarily about minimalism, but it is important to make sure that everything in the design has a purpose. Some things are purely functional; other things are purely aesthetic. But if they aren't adding to the overall positivity of the experience, then take it out. Reduce the design to the necessary fundamentals and people will find it much easier to draw themselves in the white space.

Be consistent

Navigational mechanisms, organizational structure and metaphors used throughout the design must be predictable and reliable. When things don't match up between multiple areas, the experience can feel disjointed, confusing and uncomfortable. People will start to question
