agrees with perturbative expansion in $b$ of some field theory with local action $\mathcal{A}\left(  b\right)  $, but at the point $\lambda_{1}$ the $S$-matrix tends to some rational scattering matrix corresponding to the $S$-matrix of a non-linear sigma model on a symmetric space. Near the point $\lambda_{1}$ it can be considered as a deformation of a symmetric scattering. In this case it is natural to search  for the dual theory as sigma model with target space looking as a deformed symmetric space. The metric and other characteristics of sigma model on the manifold is subject to very rigid conditions, namely non-linear renormalization group (RG) equations [@FRI]. If one has found the solution of RG equations which gives the observables in the sigma model theory, coinciding with those derivedare important for the calculation of UV asymptotics in perturbed CFTs. These amplitudes serve also for identification of CFTs in different representations. In particular, for justification of dual SM representations.

In section 3 we explain the general properties of deformed $CP\left(
n-1\right)  $ SMs with fermion and write the action of perturbed CFTs, constructed in section 2. We conjecture that these QFTs provide a dual description of deformed $CP\left(  n-1\right)  $ SMs with fermion.

In section 4 we represent the action of dual QFT in the form suitable for the perturbation theory in parameter $b.$ We provide non-local integrals of motion which form the Borel subalgebra of $SU(n)_{\mathrm{q}}$ and generate $SU(n)_{\mathrm{q}}$ symmetry of the scattering theory. We describe the spectrum and scattering theory of this QFT.

In section 5


and study their deformations by different fields in different regions of integers $m,l$ and $h$ (Coxeter number of $G$). We study their RG propertied and show that these QFTs provide an independent description of a large variety of SMs on the deformed symmetric spaces. Finally we give a simple inequality which provides a necessary condition for a sigma model to have nice duality.

Conformal field theory and reflection amplitudes
=================================================

We consider  CFT, which has the hidden $sl(n)$and $sl(n-1)-$ symmetries and can be described by $2n-1$ fields$$\{\varphi,\vartheta,\vartheta_{0},\vartheta_{n}\}=\{(\varphi_{1},..,\varphi_{n-1}),(\vartheta_{1},..,\vartheta_{n-2}),\vartheta_{0},\vartheta_{n}\} \label{f}$$ We introduce the parameters $a,b$ satisfying the relation$$a^{2}-b^{2}=1 \label{ab}$$ and denote as $c$ the parameter$$c=\frac{\sqrt{n+b^{2}}}{\sqrt{n(n-1}} \label{cc}$$ Let $h_{j}$ are $n$ vectors in $n-1$ dimensional space (the wights of fundamental representation of $sl(n)$) with the scalar products: $$h_{i}\cdot h_{j}=\delta_{i,j}-\frac{1}{n}$$ and $\eta_{j}$ the vectors inbe written as$$\mathcal{A}_{c}=\frac{\delta^{\mu\nu}+\varepsilon^{\mu\nu}}{4\pi
}{\small \Sigma\kappa}\int d^{2}x\left(  J_{a,\mu}\left(
I\mathcal{+\mathrm{i}\kappa}A(g_{c})\mathcal{R}A(g_{c})^{-1}P\right)
_{a,b}^{-1}J_{a,\nu}\right)  , \label{accos}$$ where $g_{c}$ is the coset element of the group from the numerator of coset, $P$ is the projector operator which annihilates the currents from denominator of coset and ${\small \Sigma}$ the numerical factor.

To simplify the expressions we consider here the case $n=3,$ i.e. the deformed $CP\left(  2\right)  $ SM (the same consideration can be done for any $n,$ using eq(\[accos\]) and results of appendix B). The matrix $g\subset
SU\left(  3\right)  $ can be taken as (see appendix B)$$\begin{aligned}
g  &  ={\small e}^{\mathrm{i}\lambda_{3}\eta_{1}+\mathrm{i}\lambda_{8}\eta
_{8}}\left(
\begin{array}
[c]{ccc}{\small \cos\theta}_{3} & {\small 0} & {\small e}^{-\mathrm{i}\beta_{3}}{\small \sin\theta}_{3}\\
{\small 0} & {\small 1} & {\small 0}\\
{\small -e^{\mathrm{i}\beta_{3}}\sin\theta}_{3} & {\small 0} & {\small \cos
\theta}_{3}\end{array}
\right)  \left(
\begin{array}
[c]{ccc}{\small \cos\theta}_{1} & {\small e}^{-\mathrm{i}\beta_{1}}{\small \sin\theta

{\small -e^{\mathrm{i}\beta_{1}}\sin\theta}_{1}


particles is not limited. This contradiction disappears only for special values of $\gamma,$ namely when$$\Delta_{1}=\frac{\pi\gamma^{2}}{1-\gamma^{2}}=\frac{\pi}{k},\quad\gamma
^{2}=\frac{1}{k+n},\quad k=0,2,3.. \label{qcc}$$ It means that we have a well-defined QFT only for special values of $\gamma$ (quantization of coupling constant)$.$ The similar phenomenon has place for all values of $n.$ The analysis of scattering theory shows that theory is well-defined only for $\gamma^{2}=\frac{1}{k+n}$ with positive integer $k$.[^5] The condition$$\frac{1}{\gamma^{2}}=-b^{2}=k+n \label{end}$$ will be considered in the next section.

Rational CFTs, their perturbations and sigma models
===================================================

In this Section we discuss some important points (in particular, another integrable deformations of SMs) which were not considered in the main body of this paper.

$\mathit{1.}$  In section 6 we discussed the SMs and Ricci flows related with massive QFTs. However there are massless Ricci flows associated with SMs with singularcharge of $\mathcal{M}\left(  G,m,l\right)  $ is$$c\left(  G,m,l\right)  =\frac{r\left(  h+1\right)  lm\left(  l+m+2h\right)
}{\left(  l+m+h\right)  \left(  m+h\right)  \left(  l+h\right)  } \label{cG}$$ where $r$ and $h$ are rank and Coxeter number of $G,D=r\left(  h+1\right)
=\dim\left(  G\right)  .$

The action of integrable perturbed CFT $\mathcal{M}\left(  G,m,l\right)  $ is$$\mathcal{A}_{G}=\mathcal{A}_{G}\left(  CFT\right)  -\kappa\int\Phi\left(
x\right)  d^{2}x\label{aGml}$$ For $\kappa>0$ these QFTs are massive, the particles for finite $m,l$ are the kinks[^6], and exact relations between the masses of these particles and coupling constant $\kappa$ are known [@F2] .

Here we consider the relations between QFTs (\[aGml\]) and SMs in different regions of integers $m,l$ and $h$. The simplest region corresponds to $m>>l$. In the limit $m\rightarrow\infty$ our QFT can be written


bosonic particles and Majorana fermions have the same mass $M$ and form the multiplet of the group in the numerator of the coset. The dimension of such multiplet equals $D_{m}=$ $n_{f}+n_{b}^{(s)},$where $n_{b}^{(s)}$ is the number of stable bosons. The UV central charge of such QFT is given by $c_{UV}=n_{b}+\frac{1}{2}n_{f}.$ These equalities together with (\[cfen\]) put rather rigid restrictions on the nice dual theories with affine Toda bosonic part in the weak coupling region.[^8] It is easy to see that for the theories considered in this paper and in [@FL] they are satisfied.

$\mathit{4.} \ $Here we consider conditions for the existence of an infinite family of integrable QFTs with nice duality without assumptions about purely bosonic part and UV convergence in perturbation theory. It means that such QFTs can be describedMatrix of the (1+1)-Dimensional Toda Chain, Phys. Lett. B 89 (1979) 389-395

MCs were allowed to migrate for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 5% CO~2~ at 37°C. The cells that had migrated were recovered from the underside of the membrane, detached with trypsin-EDTA (0.05%), washed and resuspended in M199 medium. Finally, the cells were stained with propidium iodide and counted over 1.5 min by flow cytometry (FACS Canto II cytometer; BD Biosciences).

Effect of Tamoxifen on cell cycle, apoptosis, and wound healing {#s2c}

![Tamoxifen reverts the MMT induced by TGF-β1 *in vitro*.\
Omentum-MCs were stimulated with TGF-β1 during 48 hours and then the cells were either left untreated, treated with TGF-β1 or treated with Tamoxifen (6 or 10 µM) during additional 48 hours. **(A)** Phase-contrast microscopy shows that Tamoxifen reverts partially the non-epithelioid morphology of omentum-derived MC treated with TGF-β1. **(B)** Quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrates that administration of Tamoxifen (6 µM) after TGF-β1 withdrawal restores partially E-cadherin expression.

By contrast, Tamoxifen treatments were unable to revert the spindle-like shape of effluent-derived MCs to an epithelioid morphology ([Figure 2](#pone-0061165-g002){ref-type="fig"}) and to re-induce the expression of E-cadherin


on PD fluid-induced angiogenesis, blood vessels of the parietal peritoneum were stained with an anti-CD31 antibody. As expected, in the peritoneum from control saline-treated mice the expression of CD31 was confined to deeper vessels located in the muscular tissue ([Figure 9A](#pone-0061165-g009){ref-type="fig"}). However, there was a significant increase in the number of submesothelial vessels in PD fluid-instilled mice when compared with the control mice; and administration of Tamoxifen to PD fluid-instilled mice significantly reduced this angiogenesis ([Figures 9A and 9B](#pone-0061165-g009){ref-type="fig"}). To further explore the effects of Tamoxifen on angiogenesis, the effluent levels of VEGF were measured in the different experimental conditions. PD fluid exposure strongly increased the concentration of VEGF in the peritoneal cavity, and administration of Tamoxifen significantly reduced the levels of this factor ([Figure 9C](#pone-0061165-g009){ref-type="fig"}). The protectivebe dealt with.

Met Police chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe insisted officers should always visit someone who has been the victim of a break-in.

But Mrs Thornton, , the £252,000-a-year head of the National Police Chiefs' Council, is adamant that budget cuts mean that police have to change the way they work.

She said forces needed to shift their focus away from 'traditional' crimes, – admitting that officers might not call round for offences such as an iPad being stolen by intruders.

It also emerged that Leicestershire Police have been refusing to attend attempted burglaries at houses with odd-numbers in a bizarre cost-cutting measure.

After a trial scheme the force found it had no impact on the number of incidents or victim satisfaction.

Now Mrs Thornton has suggested that members of the public should send

The problem, Petersen
said, is that student feedback

To elicit summative information

The Faculty Evaluation

included using a

two questionnaires administered

Confusion of the student

Bus Riders Union (Los Angeles)

The Bus Riders Union (BRU) (also called  (SDP) and ) is a United States civil rights social movement organization established in Los Angeles, California in 1994. Led by a planning committee, its multilingual membership is drawn from the predominantly low-income, African-American, Latino and Asian mass transit ridership of Los Angeles County. The BRU's central focus has been policies of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) that it identifies as racial discrimination. The BRU attracted international attention when it successfully sued LACMTA under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act in 1994 and its example has inspired similar efforts to organize mass transit passengers.

Formation
The Bus Rider's Union is a project of the Labor/Community Strategy Center (LCSC) that began as an outgrowth ofon the rating and that means that we think the risks currently on the rating are to the downside," said David Beers, the S&P global head of sovereign ratings, on "Fox News Sunday."

However, Beers said markets were reacting to the debt crises in some European countries and fears of a global economic slump, rather than the U.S. credit downgrade alone.

Both Beers and Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer at Legg Mason Capital Management, told the Fox program that they don't expect the U.S. downgrade to cause a spike in interest rates, one of the possible results of the higher risk now attached to U.S. debt.

"I don't think we'll pay more in interest," Miller said, calling the downgrade more of a symbolic event than an economic event.

validation error occurs for name field and not age. Then if I restart node server and try first with user role, the age validation is caught but then for all subsequent requests age validation will be checked irrespective of role. What could be the problem? If there any other method to achieve this, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

A:

Validations are permanent for models. This way is not working.
You need to create a custom validator :
Members.validateAsync('name', function(err, done){
  var role = getRole();
  if(role === 'admin'){
    if(!this.name) err();
  }
  done();
}, {message: 'name should be filled'});

Members.validateAsync('age', function(err, done){
  var role = getRole();
  if(role !== 'admin'){
    if(!this.age) err();
  }
  done();
}, {message: 'age should be filled'});

       and giving them counselling and drugs if they are infected and lecturing everyone who is not infected about safe sex and perhaps giving them condoms. This has been tried and has failed. Amazing amounts of money have been thrown at HIV and the result has been a continuation of very high levels of transmission and a distinct lack of understanding of why some countries and parts of countries have such profound HIV epidemics and why some do not.

So, like other diseases, HIV epidemics are not just a matter of dealing with a particular pathogen, you must also consider the host and the environment. Looking at it (and other diseases) from this point of view, there are a lot of ways of spending 381 billion Tanzanian shillings aside from


some of their own employees who happen to be working in those countries and have to use the same medical facilities as the natives. Don't worry, that has probably never happened, though that doesn't stop them from warning their employees.

Ignoring other diseases, health in general, water and sanitation, nutrition, environmental conditions and structural conditions in the fight against HIV has been unbelievably stupid. Equally stupid is the failure to ensure that there were adequate health structures in place to implement various HIV prevention and treatment initiatives, however misguided some of these may have been. In fact, in countries like Kenya, health structures were being dismantled from the 1980s onwards at the instigation of institutions like the World Bank (yes, the one that came up with the Global Fund!).

Inand several other countries seem keen to follow Kenya's lead, despite the Kenyan's change of mind. Chalker and others who follow this tendency to conflate counterfeits, generics and fakes then go on to deny that their stance could jeopardize availability of affordable generic drugs, such as ARVs. But their denial sounds hollow when they go to so much trouble to confuse generics with counterfeits and fakes.

Of course, there may also be counterfeit drugs and fake drugs in circulation. When drugs are priced so that no one in developing countries can afford them, in the hope that aid money will be used to purchase them, it's not surprising that some people will try to cash in on the market for cheap drugs. If the pharmaceutical industry is concerned about


the fact that it is quite easy to make a good profit from counterfeit and fake drugs, they need to sort out their own pricing policies, perhaps by taking a look at what the 'market' can tolerate. Otherwise they might be accused of depending on subsidies and of rigging the market, which would be quite intolerable.

Chalker expresses her concern at the 'extra burden counterfeiting places on health services in developing countries'. If she is worried about health services being burdened, it is branded goods she should target. If she thinks that health services will be unable to afford the growing need for ARVs, she needs to champion the cause of those producing affordable generic versions of the grossly overpriced branded drugs that her friends in the pharmaceutical industrypartners who also have many partners, HIV is not transmitted quite so fast. If it was, HIV prevalence would be a lot higher, in every country in the world, not just in Uganda. The partners of HIV positive people can remain HIV negative for many years, even if they are having regular, unprotected sex. HIV just doesn’t spread that quickly through heterosexual sex.

What the doctor needs to do is calculate how many times each of the 8 people per district would have had to have sex with the 20 others and how many times they would have to have sex in order to infect two others each, given the probability of heterosexual HIV transmission per sex act. That’s not a simple calculation and I won’t even attempt it


or be related to at least one HIV positive person, as is the case in Kenya.

Nyanza province, in the South West of Kenya, has a prevalence of 13.9%, twice that of the next highest prevalence, Nairobi, at 7%. But the Luo tribe, consisting of only around three million people, has the highest prevalence of any tribe in Kenya. At 20.2%, it’s over two and a half times the next highest tribe, the Maasai, at 7.9%. If Ireland had an epidemic like that of the Luo, there would be 555,500 HIV positive Irish people. Think of the dependency ratio and the health care bill.

I like to think that if that number of Irish people were infected with a chronic, life threatening illness, it wouldn't take long before it wasthe donor far more than the recipient, as it appears now.

Those in the Aids industry often talk about gender and empowerment in relation to reducing HIV transmission. But what do they mean? Do they mean that women would be able to protect themselves from HIV if only their rights were recognised, such as the right to decide when, where, with whom and under which circumstances to have sex? Well, gender inequality is repulsive in many ways and it has numerous negative consequences. Gender equality is a human right and we should strive for full gender equality everywhere and remove barriers to equality.

But in developing countries like Kenya, people face all sorts of risks that make them vulnerable to diseases, not just HIV. And the risk


safe. Westerners travelling to developing countries, especially in Africa, are often warned about medical and other treatment that could carry the risk of exposure to HIV and other blood borne diseases. But Africans are not warned.

An unusual exception to the practice of warning Westerners (and not bothering about people in developing countries) seems to be occurring at the moment. I don't think people visiting South Africa for the World Cup are being warned about non-sexual risks, although they are hearing plenty about the sexual risks. Some of them will probably feel they have had enough sex by the time they get to South Africa. Others may only feel their appetites whetted.

69,000 children infected in one year! What are the possibilities? That their mothers are all HIV positive (themore likely to be infected than if you are from Northern Cape. And if you are from an urban slum, you are over 5 times more likely to be infected than if you are from an urban non-slum area. If you are from a rural area, you are far less likely to be infected, regardless of whether you are from a slum or a non-slum.

Females between the ages of 20 and 29 are over 6 times more likely to be infected than males of the same age group. Just in case these figures suggest that the predominantly well off male and younger visitors to the World Cup could be at an advantage, they will be mainly in urban areas and if they happen to visit medical or cosmetic


health institutions, African governments or HIV donors for investigations. In most African countries, the number of women infected far exceeds the number of men infected. And though women's groups fall over themselves to get their issues heard, they don't seem to be outraged that women seem to comprise the largest number of victims of medically transmitted HIV.

Endoscope and biopsy equipment were found to have been insufficiently sterilized after nine patients became sick. There was also a contaminated anaesthetic involved. These are problems that African hospitals face all the time. They often don't have the equipment to sterilize everything properly, nor even enough trained staff to carry out the work. African hospitals also have the problem of old equipment, shortages of equipment and the need to reuse things thatare designed to be disposable. Health workers are not going to do without gloves just because there is a shortage. How many options do they have?

In Australian hospitals, people are far less likely to be infected with HIV, hepatitis or other serious illness. But in African countries, where only the sickest go to hospital and many serious diseases are endemic, the risks are very high. But patients becoming ill after receiving medical treatment in African hospitals is so common that this is unlikely to trigger any kind of investigation, as happened in the Australian instance. And if people die, there are unlikely to be any questions asked. Many people die every day of all sorts of things. Health workers have little enough time to deal with sick people,


availing of these services. Whether these claims are true or not is anyone's guess, I've seen no evidence to back them up.

It seems likely that even if people visiting South Africa don't know how to protect themselves, those working in the sex industry will. One hopes so, after decades of warnings about the dangers of sex and HIV. If these warnings haven't worked by now, perhaps those spending public money on them should rethink their HIV strategy.

But what about the dangers of non-sexual infection with HIV? Neither those in the West coming over to South Africa nor those living in South Africa are likely to have had so many warnings. Tourists may well be aware of non-sexual risks, such as tattoo parlours, cosmetic outlets like barber shops and,a long time, HIV prevalence was higher in richer sectors of the population. And this trend was as true for rich women as for rich men. The problem with everything that Bungudu says is that it all presupposes the truth of the behavioural paradigm. And it all ignores the obvious conclusion, that sexual behaviour does not explain why HIV is so high in some African countries and so low in most other countries.

Continuing the official line, which I suppose he has to do if wants funding to continue, Bungudu reflects on the fact that prevention messages are not getting to remote communities. He completely misses the fact that HIV prevalence in remote areas has always been lower than in urban areas. But once ‘messages’ start reaching these areas,

Correlation between the rate of asymmetry volume of maxillary sinuses and clinical symptomatology in the silent sinus syndrome: A retrospective study about 13 cases.
The "silent sinus syndrome" (SSS) also known as imploding antrum syndrome or chronic maxillary sinus atelectasis consists of painless enophthalmos and inward retraction of the ipsilateral maxillary sinus walls. The aims of the present study were: i) to look for a correlation between the level of volume asymmetry of the maxillary sinuses and the presence of ophthalmological and rhinosinusitis signs, ii) to determine the benefits of a middle meatal antrostomy in SSS cases, and iii) to evaluate the preventive role of neuronavigation surgery in the morbidity of this specific surgery. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 13 patients operated on for a SSS by middle


1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to coiled disk springs used as a support for machines and appliances. More particularly, the present invention relates to a coiled disk spring formed by closely winding a deformed wire or a strip into a coil shape with the face of the wire or strip inclined with respect to the coil axis and further to a coiled disk spring obtained by undulating this coiled disk spring in a circumferential direction of the coil.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Disk springs have heretofore been used as support springs for machines and appliances in which a plurality of disk springs 2 are stacked up in parallel with one another, as shown in FIG. 8, so that the restoring force as springs is increased.
However, inthe production of disk springs, since a sheet material must be punched out by a press, there is such a problem that the yield of the material is low and the production cost is high.
When the sheet material is punched out by the press, the resulting springs can only have a predetermined thickness.
Further, when the disk springs are assembled into a stack 3 by stacking up the springs, mistakes are likely to occur, such as variations in the number of disk springs to be stacked up or mixing of inverted pieces in the stack.
A coiled wave spring as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has also been employed. This spring is produced by closely winding a strip 5 into a coil shape while bending the strip into a

present invention is formed using any conventional apparatus such as, for example, extrusion apparatus, injection mold apparatus, or the like.

The higher frictional contact between the inner chamber and outer casing is preferably brought about by a force fitting arrangment between the inner chamber and outer casing. That is, the allowance between the cross-sectional exterior of the inner chamber and the cross-sectional interior of the outer casing is virturally non-existent or such that an interference fit exists therebetween. This fit makes it relatively difficult to move the inner chamber with respect to the outer casing.

If necessary, further enhancement of the frictional contact between the two contacting surfaces can be achieved by utilization of a rough surface either for the exterior of the inner chamber, the interior of the outertheir next step will be. And shifting economies and life circumstances often send us down the wrong career path, or down one that isn’t a perfect fit for our skills and personalities—even if we are often unaware of it. But it is possible—even if you already have a foothold in a career—to make changes that will result in renewed passion and success that is greater than anything you’ve ever imagined.

With his straightforward, no-nonsense approach, Smith itemizes and dismisses all the usual excuses, fears and worries that people hide behind when trying to find their true direction. He shows how it is possible to change course and get on the right path. It won’t necessarily be easy, but if you follow Smith’s guidance, your career dreams can come true.

the effects.

Additionally, hiring someone is not a one-time business transaction. Going through the process of sourcing, interviewing, and hiring – this is just the tip of the iceberg. The significant investments are made once a new hire joins the team. Organizations must constantly put time and resources into a new employee to ensure that they fully develop into their role (business leaders estimate this initial onboarding cost to be around $240,000 per employee). Unfortunately, when a new employee turns out to simply be a bad hire, this extensive investment is utterly wasted.

Added to this wasted time is the reality that a bad hire will not carry their weight. Inevitably, the rest of the team is going to feel the burden of this. Greg Scileppi, President of international staffingoperations at Robert Half, addresses this point by explaining, “Hiring a bad fit or someone who lacks the skills needed to perform well has the potential to leave good employees with the burden of damage control, whether it be extra work or redoing work that wasn’t completed correctly the first time.”

Fallout From the Ripple Effect

Factor in all of these variable indirect costs, and it becomes clear that a bad hire can have a seriously negative impact on employee morale and organizational productivity. In fact, based on a CareerBuilder study, 39% of employers identified loss in productivity as the number one cost of a bad hire, with 33% identifying a lowered employee morale. Furthermore, Robert Half found the following:

Supervisors spent 17% of their time, or about one day a

Avoid Bad Hires by Hiring the Right Recruiters

From the research above, the cost of one bad hire becomes more clear. However, imagine if the next bad hire at your organization was responsible for making subsequent hiring decisions. You know the saying, “one bad apple spoils the bunch?” It becomes extremely applicable if a bad hire turns out to be involved in the recruitment activities at your organization. In this case, the fallout from that one bad hire is compounded by each new hire that they make going forward. Zappos founder Tony Hsieh realized the cost of this exact mistake within his own organization. In this interview, he explains his belief that the fallout from bad Zappos hires, and their subsequent bad hires, cost his company overelement forms a greater proportion of the frill's exposed area, and was thus more likely to be injured, than in Centrosaurus (e.g., Figure 1). We tested this hypothesis by comparing the prevalence of lesions in the entire frill of both taxa and still found a significant difference between the two (3 pathological and 84 non-pathological specimens for Centrosaurus; 10 pathological and 59 non-pathological specimens for Triceratops; P = 0.012; see Materials and Methods for full explanation). Instead, the evidence appears to be most consistent with the majority of cranial abnormalities in Triceratops being generated by the horns of conspecifics. The observed instances of periosteal reactive bone and healing fractures are consistent with such non-random trauma, and the elevated rates of abnormal bone morphology within the frill bones are


consistent with predictions from modeling of horn-to-horn combat [2]. This suggests that the cranial ornamentation of ceratopsids, particularly Triceratops, was not only for visual display but that the horns also had a real role in physical combat. It is important to note that we do not claim to infer a precise cause for individual pathologies on certain specimens (that a slip of a horn during a specific bout caused the injury to the jugal in YPM 1822, for example; Figure 2A). Certainly, at least some of the pathologies noted here may not be due to combat. We only claim that the overall pattern in all of the specimens is consistent with intraspecific combat in Triceratops. Non-ceratopsid neoceratopsians (e.g., Protoceratops), the evolutionary predecessors of ceratopsids, possessed a thin, enlargedrows representing taxon and columns representing pathological state. For associated specimens preserving both right and left elements, each side was counted separately in the matrix. This is appropriate, because the pathologies counted here presumably represented discrete events in the life of the animal instead of systemic conditions [14]. In order to test the hypothesis that rates of lesion occurrence within elements were independent of taxon, a G-test of independence was applied to each 2×2 matrix [14], [15]. A significant test indicated that rate of occurrence was not independent of taxon. The squamosal, relative to the parietal, forms a greater proportion of the frill in Triceratops than in Centrosaurus (Figure 1). In order to test whether this could explain why Triceratops more commonly exhibited lesions on the squamosal (because


SHANGHAI, April 19 (Reuters) - When Nissan Motor Co Ltd was preparing to launch the Venucia marque with itsChina venture partner two years ago, it sourced more componentslocally to keep costs down - and was sent mislabelled parts andsun visors that melted in the heat.

This is a big step for Japanese automakers that have built aglobal reputation for quality through close relationships withknown and trusted suppliers, many of whom they own and controland with whom they jointly design and develop components.

But, at the fast-growth end of thebehaviour on smaller scales. In particular, given the observed large scale expansion of the universe the question is to what extent does this expansion influence the behaviour on astrophysical scales, and more precisely what are its effects on e.g. the planetary orbits, galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Among the earliest works on this question are those by McVittie [@McVittie] and Einstein & Straus [@Einstein-Straus] (see [@Krasinski] for more historical references). Historically it was McVittie who first found a perfect fluid spherically symmetric solution to Einstein’s field equations which could be interpreted as describing a point particle embedded in an expanding Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime [@McVittie]. This interpretation has been questioned by some authors subsequently (e.g. Sussman [@Sussman88], Gautreau [@Gautreau] and Nolan [@Nolan98]). The generally accepted ansatz to model the


2-sphere in space. Furthermore, for standard interior source fields such as vacuum, electrovacuum or perfect fluids, the interior itself must be spherically symmetric, with the boundary comoving with the cosmological flow [@Mars; @Mars01]. This implies therefore that static objects which can be embedded in FLRW models must be spherical, and as a result the Einstein–Straus model is, in this sense, not robust.

This result once again raises the question of the possibility of embedding general static cavities in more general universe models (which we refer to as the [*Generalised Einstein–Straus problem*]{}). Also, since realistic cosmological models cannot be expected to be exactly homogeneous and isotropic, the question arises as to what happens if these symmetry assumptions concerning the exterior metric are further relaxed.

There are two different ways to studycorresponds to types $V$ and $VII_h$ and (\[11.3\]) corresponds to types $I$, $III$ and $VII_0$. These classifications are summarised in Table \[table:bianchis\]. The cases with $n=0$ admit a multiply transitive $G_3$ on $S_2$.

The axial Killing vector associated with the metric (\[comp\]) is $\vec\eta_1=\p_w+nk\p_x$, which can be easily shown to define a regular axis at $y=0$, that is .. \[eq:condregaxis\] tends to 1 as $y\to 0$. The axial Killing vector $\vec\eta_1$ together with $\vec\eta_2=\p_x-\epsilon y \p_y$ generates an Abelian subgroup $G_2$ on $S_2$. For the purposes of this paper it is desirable to express the metric in a form adapted to both $\vec \eta_1$ and $\vec \eta_2$. To do this, we perform the following coordinate transformations to cylindrical coordinates $$\begin{aligned}
\label{transf}
x&\to&z+nk\varphi\nonumber\\
y&\to&r e^{-\epsilon z} \nonumber\\
w&\to&\varphi \\
t&\to&t\nonumber\end{aligned}$$ which brings the compact metric


The preservation of the cylindrical symmetry implies that the axial Killing vectors from both sides have to coincide at the matching hypersurface. Since the tangent spaces of both $\sigma^+$ and $\sigma^-$ are going to be identified (see Section (\[geom\])), we only have to impose $
d\Phi^- (\p/ \p\phi)=
\p/\p \tilde\varphi'|_{\sigma^-}\equiv \vec{e}^-_2.
$ The image of the vector $\partial/\partial \zeta$ must complete the basis of some $G_2$ on $S_2$ subgroup of the $G_3$ on $T_3$ admitted by $(\mm2^-,g^-)$. Therefore the image of $\p/\p\zeta$ takes the form \[general-form\] d\^-()= a . |\_[\^-]{}+ b .|\_[\^-]{}+ c .|\_[\^-]{}e\^[+]{}\_3, where $a, b$ and $c$ are arbitrary constants, such that the inequality .|\_[\^-]{}>0 \[eq:onS2\] gives the necessary and sufficient condition for having spacelike orbits, implying $b\neq 0$. Now condition (\[eq:onS2\]) will be automatically satisfied once the preliminary\BD_{,t} E_{,\rho}.$$

The explicit conditions {#matchLRS}
-----------------------

We shall now study the explicit matching conditions across non-space-like hypersurfaces (so that neither $\dot t$ nor $\dot T$ can vanish on $\sigma$) for the $LRS$ homogeneous spacetimes (\[compact\]) by substituting the metric functions (\[idents\]) in the above junction conditions. We start by considering the exterior conditions (\[exterior\]). Condition (I) implies that the only possible matchings are those satisfying \[ext1\] (a\_[,t]{}0)(b\^2\_[,r]{}+a\^2n(F+k) 0 ). Similarly, condition (II) gives \[ext2\] (a\_[,t]{}0)(n=0). Combining conditions (\[ext1\]) and (\[ext2\]) and excluding matchings that hold only across a single value for $r$ corresponding to $\Sigma_{,r}\eqq 0$ (see Lemma \[singler\]), we find that \[a\] a\_[,t]{}0 is a [*necessary condition*]{} for the required matching which, since $\dot t\neq 0$ on $\sigma$, implies $a_{,t}=0$ and thus \[aconst\] a(t)=[constant]{}(). Considering the remaining exterior condition


this type of source is $(G_{03})^2=(G_{00}+G_{22})(G_{33}-G_{22})$ (see [@MATHO; @Vera-thesis]), which can explicitly be cast in the form \[pf\] (b b\_[,tt]{}-b\_[,t]{}\^2-k) =0, so that $\rho=G_{22}+G_{00}-G_{33}$ and $p=G_{22}$. The vanishing of the first term in (\[pf\]) results in $G_{00}+G_{22}=-2\epsilon/\beta^2$. In order to have a perfect fluid we also need $G_{00}+G_{22}\neq 0$ to have the same sign as $\rho+p$. As a result, we are left with the case $\epsilon=1$, which implies $\rho+p<0$. In this case both $\rho$ and $p$ are constants such that $\rho+3 p=0$.

Therefore, in order to have a perfect fluid satisfying the dominant energy condition (i.e. $\rho+p>0$) we can only consider the vanishing of the second term in (\[pf\]). We shall consider the cases $\epsilon =1,0$ in turn. For the case $\epsilon=1$, equation $\beta^2\left(b b_{,tt}+b_{,t}^2\right)+2 b^2=0$ gives $b(t)=
 c_1model.

The no-go result above then tells us that [*a $G_4$ on $S_3$ LRS cosmological model cannot contain a locally OT cylindrically symmetric static cavity*]{} except for the very particular stiff-fluid case mentioned above. Theorem \[bigone\] rules out not only static cosmological strings in LRS cosmological backgrounds, but also static cavities which are locally cylindrically symmetric, as for instance, bottle/coin-shaped objects. Furthermore, it implies that [*no astrophysical object described by a non-stiff fluid type $G_4$ on $S_3$ LRS metric can be embedded into a locally OT cylindrically symmetric static background*]{}. Importantly, these results hold irrespective of the matter content in the static part.

Concerning global configurations, as discussed above, we can go further and apply our results to the case of spatially homogeneous non-static exterior spacetimes. This follows from the


can be matched to a spatially compact and simply connected locally cylindrically symmetric static region across a non-space-like hypersurface preserving the symmetry are given by (\[exteriords2\]) with $k=0,-1$.

The same remarks made about Theorem \[loi\] regarding the interior apply here. Finally, from Theorem \[bigone\] we obtain

\[bigonecoro\] The only possible non-static spatially homogeneous perfect-fluid spacetimes, satisfying the dominant energy condition, that can be matched to a spatially compact and simply connected locally cylindrically symmetric static region, across a non-space-like hypersurface preserving the symmetry, is given by (\[exteriorpf\]). The possible Bianchi types of the $G_3$ on $S_3$ are I, III or VII$_{0}$ and the equation of state is that of a stiff fluid.

The last corollary amounts to a no-go result, namely that [*there is no possible evolving perfect-fluid Bianchi spacetimes withbe placed in a location that can be easily hidden. The hidden incision endoscopic surgery (HIDES) trocar placement allows for the incision site of the trocar to be placed in a similar easily to conceal location on the abdomen while skiving in the subcutaneous fat and entering through the fascia at a higher more optimal location for robotic assisted surgery ([@B17]). In a recent survey of the general population regarding incision location for pediatric urologic surgery, many preferred incisions that could be covered by undergarments; however, this study fails to address that surgical incisions especially in children tend to heal well and fade over time ([@B18]). We have noticed in our patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery, that their port site incision scars are barely noticeable at follow-up appointments.


some facilitation in retraction, it is a static assist. If any changes need to be made, the surgeon must pause what they are currently doing to move the fourth arm, decreasing surgical efficiency.

In adult urology, the placement of additional laparoscopic ports allows for an active bedside assistant which has allowed for improved outcomes in complex procedures such as robot assisted partial nephrectomies. However, the reluctance to place additional ports due to cosmetic considerations in the pediatric population eliminates the role of a dynamic surgical facilitator. In an attempt to circumvent this limitation, many surgeons will use a hitch stitch to act as a retractor. While this technique is sufficient in simpler reconstructive procedures, the hitch stitch is static with limited ability to change positioning once it is placed.

Some people have these effortless lives; they’re naturally thin, they’re quick to laugh, they work to play, they enjoy their time off, they don’t give much thought to trifling matters and somehow everything is easy for them, things go their way, and they almost never suffer a bad day. These people give off a certain glow – and make the others around them seem not so much dull in comparison but almost tarnished. Meet Richard and Anthea (Michael W.

The attack on social activist Swami Agnivesh by Chhatishgarh special police forces and its pet organisation Salwa Judum shows how intolerant and authoritarian could become BJP government led by Raman Singh.

DAR-ES-SALAAM: Cricket diplomacy is infectious. While Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was ushering his Pakistani counterpart Yousaf Raza Gilani into the Punjab Cricket Stadium in Mohali, faraway Tanzania, east Africa, too witnessed camaraderie between diplomats of the south Asian neighbours.

In Dar-es-Salaam, which views cricket with as much mystification as do many parts of the world, Pakistan’s envoy, Tajammul Altaf, pulled off his own version of cricket diplomacy.

Along with the local Pakistani community, Altaf invited the Indian high commissioner K V Bhagirath and a group of visiting Indian journalists and Indians residing here to a cricket party. For a moderating influence, the new Turkish ambassador, who preferred to concentrate on the food, was also roped in to join the festivities.

Bhagirath, a cricket aficionado, was palpably excited:for the contrast with the heartbreak that the Pakistani nation would have experienced at the defeat, summed up the focus of Gilani’s trip – peace through cricket.

Gilani pointed out that his delegation comprised members from every party represented in Pakistan parliament, thereby indicating that his reciprocation to his counterpart’s invite had the backing of every shade of political opinion.

Gilani, who knows Singh well having met him earlier, recognized Punjab governor Shivraj Patil — he reminded that Patil was the Speaker of Lok Sabha when he was Speaker of the Pakistan assembly. He also knew quite a few other leaders from the Indian side.

Gilani stressed on the need for peace between the two neighbouring countries, sharing a blow-hot blow-cold relationship. Chaperoned by minister-in-waiting Sachin Pilot, Gilani said there was


need for more exchanges between political leaders, MPs, social representatives and people. He said there was need to focus on areas that were beneficial to both countries.

We Indian did win the semi-final world cup cricket match with Pakistan but that means TO MANY MILLION Indians that we won the WORLD WAR!! Similarly millions Pakistanis feel that they lost the World War. Still it was a game, nothing more. Rather than Pakistanis mourn for a match lost, they should take a deep breathe and think that in the last few years because of their religious fanaticism, they have lost much more in Pakistan itself and around the Globe. If they take their own national social, religious, political and economical condition sovehicle.

Mumbai additional commissioner (traffic) Brijesh Singh said, ”Vehicles will not be allowed beyond the Princess Street flyover to the west of the stadium. Only vehicles of VVIPs and police cars will be exempted.”

For the first time, the traffic police have marked out separate lanes for spectators’ vehicles to ease traffic flow. ”Diversions will start from Worli and further away at Haji Ali. There will be heavy police deployment at diversion points,” said Singh.

Spectators have been advised to keep their tickets in hand and keep to the right lane. Cautionary boards will be placed at important points along the route. ”There will be several security checks. So, spectators should arrive at least three hours before the match,” deputy commissioner Nandkumar Chaugule said.

According to Gandhi (1929:293), KALLENBACH was introduced to him (n.d.) by a Mr Khan (possibly Kazi Behlol Khan) who discovered in KALLENBACH ‘deep down … a vein of otherworldliness and introduced him to me. Then I came to know him I was startled at his love of luxury and extravagance … at that time he was single, and was spending Rs 1 200 monthly on himself, over and above house rent. Now he reduced himself to such simplicity that his expenses came to Rs 120 per month.’ The reference to KALLENBACH’s loveof it.

With them, honesty is not merely the best policy, and on that account only to be observed when it is profitable, but it must be adhered to at all cost and in all circum- stances. With them, might is not right, but right is always might. They can have nothing to do with the doctrine of the survival of the fittest! They have to live and let live.

In 1904 he met Mohandas Gandhi, who was then working in South Africa. He was highly influenced by Gandhi’s ideas of Satyagraha and equality among human beings and became his intimate friend and a dedicated devotee. In 1910 Kallenbach, who was a rich man, donated to Gandhi a thousand acre (4 km²) farm belonging to him near Johannesburg. The farm was used to run Gandhi’s famous “Tolstoy Farm” that housed the families of satyagrahis. Abandoning the life of a wealthy, sport-loving bachelor, he adopted a simple lifestyle, vegetarian diet and equality politics of Gandhi on this farm.[2] In Gandhi’s words, they became

New Book Raises Question: Was Gandhi Gay?

Comments (24)

By Tripti Lahiri

Courtesy Knopf

More than six decades after his death, Mahatma Gandhi remains a polarizing figure—either revered or despised. So the arrival of a new book on him is a chance for those with well-formed unflattering opinions of Gandhi to trot


a trenchant critic of Gandhi refered to him as the “Father of the Nation” and acknowledged the mass awakening movement which Gandhi had initiated perhaps for the first time in human history. The impact of Gandhi can be seen in Egypt today and in all the third world countries; something which the western media would love to ignore if they could. As far as self sufficient villages are concerned, Gandhi was in touch with the Indian reality and more so than other arm chair philosophers. Even today, most governments of the world including western governments try to provide as many benefits as possible to local populations in rural areas to make them self sufficient and hence provide migration. The western world view needs to re-orient itself.

[...] in thewho? Some poor writer in desperate need of cash. He’s so poor that he wants to make money by humiliating a poor country’s dead person. Mr. Lely.. what ever why don’t you go meet Mr Gandhi and ask him, wait, you can’t because he’s in heaven and you are going to hell.

Albeit Gandhi packaged his apparent malice in rhetoric of non-violent resistance. Who is right? Could Gandhi be cruel? Did cruelty inform Gandhi’s character? Might Gandhi have been inconsistent enough in his practice of non-violence resistance to accede to Islamic violence in Palestine against Jews fleeing the Nazis horror? We will never know unless brave souls challenge Gandhi’s hagiographers.RecommendLink

Indians being deeply religious are very prone to worship anyone who claims to be a man of God. Gandhi used religion extensively to acheive that. Gandhians


but academic trivia; and academics love to discuss trivia to death, just to show that they are intellectuals. Who cares Gandhi’s ideosyncracies; after all, everybody has his/her ideosyncracies. And Americans have their ideosyncracies too — they just talk about sex; I wonder if they have any sex; if they had, they won’t be yakyaking about it..3 RecommendationsLink

In response to Hugho Cunninghum; “I have long wondered if it was purely coincidence that Indira chose to marry someone with the surname “Gandhi”. Growing up immersed in politics, she would have been intelligent enough to foresee the political advantage, if the prospective groom was otherwise compatible.”

Feroz Gandhi was adoptedup desks to recruit Indians to fight for British in WW1, for which British gave him the highest honours. Unfortunately (or fortunately), WW1 ended soon, and hence Gandhi’s effort did not really provide many recruit; by the time they were ready to go, war ended.

Gandhi offered his services for the Boer War (1900-1902, when he did not even think of freedom). His offer was rejected because it was considered a White man’s war, between white people (English and Dutch), and was to be fought by white men. So, he offered ambulance services for picking up the wounded and dead, which British accepted.1 RecommendationLink

the insistence of the Muslim League had become too much and the violence was flaring too much. Incidentally, there were a couple of instances where he fasted to force the stoppage of Hindu-Muslim riots. In my judgment he did all that he could.

Lastly, you can’t pick on minute instances to downplay Gandhi. The man was beyond many things. He wasn’t a God or a Supra Soul. He was definitely beyond many of us.

An for this unwashed Tory hack (Andrew Roberts) to malign him is probably because his motherland lost to Sri Lanka in cricket recently and he is probably in need of money. So he wrote a gossipy column.

That’s it.RecommendLink

The early Christian theologian, St Augustine, did the same thing almost two millennia before Gandhi. Augustine recounts in, I believe, his ‘City of God’, how, to prove that he had conquered the needs of the flesh, he used to lie in bed naked during the hot summer nights in his villa on the shores of the Mediterranean with his (former) concubine. It seems a hard-wired human concept that if we deny our sexuality, somehow our gods will love us more for it.He didn’t see fit to give up his opulent

So you are stating that Gandhi should have known (when he chose Nehru) that Nehru’s family would continue to occupy the ruling position in the post-Independence India? Answer: Gandhi was not a good enough visionary to guess who precisely will rule India, though he was a visionary to the extent that he wanted Indians to rule themselves.

Or, are you stating that Gandhi should have sought a written commitment from Nehru that none of his heirs and successors would rule India for a long time to come?

Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are not rulingto write stuff that seeks a wider audience through salacious and gossipy shortcomings of an otherwise stellar individual.

“This is a classical example of self-acclaimed morally superior people trying to assassinate others’ characters.”

No, I neither consider myself to be morally superior or inferior; nor do I claim Gandhi was morally superior. He was practically and pragmatically superior.

If you really want to know what Gandhi’s coming did to India, you should read “Coming of Gandhi”, a chapter in Jawaharlal Nehru’s “Discovery of India”. I read it in my grade school and I know how Gandhi, the ultra alpha male, led an otherwise drowsy pack of Indians to rise up and how he packed courage into an otherwise docile population.
