and extreme weather events. Sensitivity analyses, which consider the influence of one parameter on the objective at a time by assuming other parameters as constant, have been adopted as a paradigm to evaluate uncertainties in the parameters and their influence \[[@pone.0174680.ref029]\]. The parameters under investigation include corn market price *P*, irrigation water price *C*^*w*^, other farm operating cost $C_{ij}^{m}$, overhead cost *C*^*o*^, water use efficiency *γ*, and seasonal water limit *W*^*l*^. The ranges of corn market price *P* and irrigation water price *C*^*w*^ are based on historical data, while the ranges of other parameters under investigation are ±25% of the base level.

As shown in [Fig 3](#pone.0174680.g003){ref-type="fig"}, the parameters with largest impact on annual net profit are corn market price *P* and irrigation water price *C*^*w*^. The significant variationlimit, now the model allows different precision levels (size and shape of decision unit) between seed type selection and irrigation frequency design. Variables *y*~*ru*~ and *z*~*su*~ are included to indicate that each decision unit for seed type selection could have multiple irrigation frequencies and vice versa. Constraints [6](#pone.0174680.e014){ref-type="disp-formula"} to [11](#pone.0174680.e019){ref-type="disp-formula"} are added to Model II, and this new model is referred to as Model III. Model II can be viewed as a special case of Model III with a certain irrigation pattern.

Although Model III could capture any regular size and shape of decision unit in theory, three special irrigation patterns are investigated considering the irrigation system limitation, namely, Pattern 1: same irrigation frequency for each row (contains eighteen land units); Pattern 2: same irrigation frequency for each column


between the highest profit (from Pattern 1, Pattern 2 or Model II) and profit for Pattern 3.

[Table 4](#pone.0174680.t004){ref-type="table"} summaries the annual net profit for three irrigation patterns under sixteen scenarios of seed type precision levels. As shown in the last column of [Table 4](#pone.0174680.t004){ref-type="table"}, the RGI ranges between 2.00 to 2.42, which means that if the farmers have already decided the precision level of seed types selection, approximately 100% to 142% increase of net profit could be achieved by applying customized irrigation management. These increases are more significant under square decision units for seed type selection. On the other hand, if the farmers only allow precision management on seed type selection and use uniform irrigation frequency for the whole farmland (Pattern 3), the best gain ratio is 1.81.placed this band so that it includes the redshifted CO(1-0) line at $\nu_{\rm obs}$$\sim$34.808 GHz ($\nu_{\rm rest}$=115.27 GHz). The observations were done using 3C286 for bandpass and flux calibration. The complex gains were corrected with intermittent short scans every $\sim$6.5 minutes on the secondary VLA calibrator J1419+3821, which is located at $\sim$4.5$^{\circ}$ distance from MAMMOTH-I.

The VLA data were reduced with the Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA; @mcm07; CASA team et al. in prep.). We imaged the data using natural weighting and a spectral resolution of 30 [kms$^{-1}$]{}. Because of the faintness of the CO, no deconvolution was applied. The resulting root-mean-square (rms) noise level is 0.057 mJybeam$^{-1}$ channel$^{-1}$. The synthesized beam is 2.6$^{\prime\prime}$$\times$2.3$^{\prime\prime}$, with a position angle (PA) of $-75.2^{\circ}$. The CO emitters that we discuss in this


We started an ALMA program in Cycle-6 that will address this issue.

### The northern galaxy (A) {#sec:regionA}

About 50kpc north-east of region B lies a galaxy that is clearly detected in both CO(1-0) and the HST image (Fig.\[fig:sourceA\]). Roughly half of the CO(1-0) emission is associated with the stellar body of the galaxy. The remaining half of the CO emission stretches outside the galaxy in what appears to be a wide tail of gas. The velocity dispersion of the gas remains approximately the same, from FWHM$_{\rm CO}$$\sim$170[kms$^{-1}$]{} on top of the galaxy to FWHM$_{\rm CO}$$\sim$190[kms$^{-1}$]{} for the extended feature. The extended emission stretches across $\sim$25kpc in the direction of region B, filling an area with very little light detected in the HST image. We argue that the extended feature in regionbehind bubbles created by a radio-loud AGN, which buoyantly rise through the cluster atmosphere [@rus16; @rus17; @tem18]. As we will discuss in Sect.\[sec:evolution\], studies of the radio-loud Spiderweb Galaxy showed that such a scenario of AGN-driven cooling appears to be viable at high redhifts [@gul16; @emo16 see also models by @li14; @mcn16]. However, while MAMMOTH-I contains an obscured powerful AGN [@arr18b], currently there is no active radio jet detected. Given that gaseous structures with the observed low velocity dispersion would be transient on the time-scales of radio-AGN activity ($\ga$10$^{7}$ yr), additional mechanisms, such as magnetic fields, would likely be needed to prevent the cold gas from dispersing [see @rus16]. Alternatively, for low-$z$ BCGs, galaxy interactions can cause entropy fluctuations in the hot gas that induce gas cooling [@oli19;


velocity dispersion than the galaxies [@emo16].

The above similarities and differences raise the intriguing possibility that MAMMOTH-I is a system much like the Spiderweb Galaxy, but in an earlier stage of evolution.

Conclusions {#sec:conclusions}
===========

We used the VLA in its most compact D-configuration to trace CO(1-0) emission of cold molecular gas in the Enormous Ly$\alpha$ Nebula of MAMMOTH-I ($z$=2.3). We detected CO in four regions that are associated with either galaxies or groups of galaxies that occupy the inner 150 kpc of the nebula. We derive the following main conclusions:\
\
$\bullet$ The total mass of molecular gas that we detect in MAMMOTH-I is M$_{\rm H2}$=1.4($\alpha_{\rm CO}$/3.6)$\times$10$^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$.\
\
$\bullet$ Roughly 50$\%$ of the CO emission is found at various places in the CGM, stretching across scales of up to $\sim$30 kpc. The other $\sim$50$\%$C., et al. 2006, MNRAS, 366, L1

length Fully Qualified Domain Name
("FQDN") in DNS wire format of the requested start point of the
chain. This entry is the 'lowest' known entry in the DNS chain
known by the recursive server seeking a CHAIN answer for which it
has a validated DS and DNSKEY record. The end point of the chain
is obtained from the DNS Query Section itself. No DNS name
compression is allowed for this value.
5. Protocol Description5.1. Discovery of Support
A Forwarder may include a zero-length CHAIN option in a regular query
over any transport to discover the DNS server capability for CHAIN.
Recursive Resolvers that support and are willing to accept CHAIN
queries over source IP verified transport respond to a zero-length
CHAIN received by including a zero-length CHAIN option in the answer.
If not already using a source IP verified transport, thenot vulnerable
for this type of abuse, the UDP protocol is vulnerable to this.
A Recursive Resolver MUST NOT return CHAIN answers to clients over
UDP without source IP address verification. An example of UDP based
source IP address verification is [EDNS-COOKIE]. A Recursive
Resolver refusing a CHAIN option MUST respond with a zero-length
CHAIN option to indicate support for CHAIN queries when a proper
transport is used. It MUST NOT send an RCODE of REFUSED.
8.3. Privacy Considerations
A client producing CHAIN queries reveals a little more information
about its cache contents than regular DNS clients. This could be
used the fingerprint a client across network reconnections. If DNS
privacy is a concern, a CHAIN query client MAY try to use a DNS
transport that provides privacy, such as [DNS-over-TLS] or a trusted
DNS server that is contacted through a VPN

o The upstream Recursive Resolver receives a DNS query over TCP with
the CHAIN Closest Trust Point set to "com.". After accepting the
query it starts constructing a DNS reply packet.
o The upstream Recursive Resolver performs all the regular work to
ensure it has all the answers to the query for the A record of
"www.example.com.". It does so without using the CHAIN option -
unless it is also configured as a Forwarder. The answer to the
original DNS question could be the actual A record, the DNSSEC
proof of non-existence, or an insecure NXDOMAIN response.
o The upstream Recursive Resolver adds the CHAIN option to the DNS
response as follows:

Self-similarity
---------------

Unlike traditional Poisson traffic, where short-term fluctuations average out over a longer period of time, self-similar traffic maintains burstiness at all time scales.

### Definition

Before giving the definition of self-similarity, we first introduce the concept of an aggregated process: given a process $X = (X_{i}: i = 1, 2, 3, ...)$, its aggregated process is $X^{(m)} = (X_{k}^{(m)}, k = 1, 2, 3, ...)$, where $m$ is the block size, $X_{k}^{(m)} = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{j=m \cdot (k-1)+1}^{m\cdot k} X_{j} $. In other words, $X^{(m)}$ partitions the original series $X$ into non-overlapping segments of size $m$, and then averages over each segment.

A process $X$ is called *exactly second-order self-similar* [@crovella_explaining_1995; @willinger_self-similarity_1995] with parameter $H = 1 - \beta/2$, $0 < \beta < 1$, if $R_{m}(k) = R(k)


distribution is to draw a log-log plot of the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF), and a roughly straight line is expected to be seen in the plot. However, this is only a necessary but not sufficient condition for a power-law distribution.

In order to validate that a time series $X$ follows a power-law distribution, we first fit a power-law model to $X$, and then run the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test [@press_numerical_2007]. If the $p$-value of this significance test is below 0.05, the power-law hypothesis is rejected. Note that if a time series follows a power-law distribution, its log-log transformed CCDF is expected to be qualitatively similar at different scales, and hence it also exhibits self-similarity.

Work your core. When many people think of core strengthening, they think of stomach crunches. Crunches are helpful for building abdominal muscles, but contrary to popular belief, crunches won't do much to lose the layer of fat stored in your belly, and can actually cause significant damage to the spine.[35] Instead, try a workout routine that strengthens your whole core, like yoga, or try abdominal presses and planking.[36]

Of all the big West End musicals, Chess is a bit of an anomaly. Based around an idea by lyricist Tim Rice, with music by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (who, let’s face it, know more than a thing or two about composing a catchy song), it was initially a concept album, before being adapted into this theatrical version. It’s a real ensemble piece that presents a considerable challenge to anybody reckless enough to mount a production. Luckily, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is more than up to the task and they thrill a packed audience at the Festival Theatre with a skilful display of all things theatrical that is breathtakingly good. Indeed, I have to keep reminding myself all the way through, that I’m watching


if you like. The position of these satellites doesn’t change in the sky, and they’re not used in calculating DOP, so this is optional.

Next, you need to set the location at which you plan to use your GPS. File => Station opens up the following window:

Here you can enter and save locations for where you will be making your observations from. Under Station Name, the drop-down menu will let you choose from previously-saved station locations. To create a station that is saved in this menu, you have three choices:

1. Type in the station name into the box at the top, enter the latitude, longitude, height above sea level (meters), and the elevation cutoff (the altitude below which a satellite is considered likely to be blocked by terrain). Onceof a degree or so.

In the area below the position, you can set the date and starting time for when you plan to use your GPS to measure positions, as well as the duration and time resolution of the calculations. The “Today” button conveniently enters the current date into these boxes. The program doesn’t change this day as the actual date changes, so you’ll have to make sure it’s set correctly every time. And you should also set your “Time Zone” correctly using the button; set it to the Standard Time Zone for your area, and check the Daylight Savings Time box if your area uses DST.

Elevation Cutoff will exclude from the calculations all satellites below that altitude in the sky; the idea here is that you’re compensating


systems and things like that. So there are some functions that I exercise some central authority over and we try to save money, you know we have UC Press and we have the digital library and so forth, and we have the telescopes and we have the institute. I would say there are some system-wide activities that I’m in charge of. We set some of the admissions parameters but the actual admission is done on campuses. Government relations, law stuff, risk management, which is insurance and what happens when if something goes wrong in a lab or if a student is injured somewhere. But the really big policy issues are for the Board of Regents.

So they need to be nimble, and they need to be able to respond to the president’s healthcare initiative and all that, so I’m perfectly willing to look at that and be more flexible. But this is a great university system and I don’t think this is what the chancellor wants, but we’re not talking about a declaration of independence here, 1776-style. We’re talking about flexibility, and I can appreciate that. Sometimes I think, why am I so much in the compensation business, and to some extent why am I so much in the tuition business, and all the others?

Report certain sorts of criminal activity, and research grants and we’re out of here. That’s the national policy. But we have had more national policies on healthcare and so forth. There aren’t matching programs, by and large. The president’s made some movement in this direction, but if you’re the legislature, you give up dollars by not funding medical care. In higher education, you’re not giving up dollars that they see. In reality, they’re giving up a lot of dollars, but it’s not Washington dollars today. What they’re giving up is economic growth and employment.

Risk Factors" below,be a meaningful metric in evaluating the performance of our Technology Brands stores due to the frequently changing nature of revenue streams and commission structures associated with this segment of our business. Instead, we measure the performance of our Technology Brands stores by using comparable store gross profit, which is calculated using a similar methodology as comparable store sales, but replacing sales with gross profit in the calculation. During the 13 weeks ended April 29, 2017 , comparable store gross profit for our Technology Brands stores declined 18.7%.

Video Game Brands

United States

Segment results for Video Game Brands in the United States include retail GameStop operations in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Guam, the electronic commerce websites www.gamestop.com and www.thinkgeek.com, Game Informer magazine and Kongregate, our leading platform

Australia

Segment results for Australia include retail and e-commerce operations in Australia and New Zealand. Net sales in the Australian segment for the 13 weeks ended April 29, 2017 increased $ 26.8 million , or 24.4% , compared to the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2016 . The increase in net sales was primarily the result of an increase in comparable store sales of 18.2% , the positive impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $3.2 million and the opening of 23 new Zing branded collectibles stores since the prior year quarter. The increase in comparable store sales was driven by video game hardware and software due to the launch of the Nintendo Switchbuild our award winning homes on 3 distinct lot sizes within the community.

Berkman has spent most of his life in Texas. He was born in Waco, attended New Braunfels Canyon High School, went to college at Rice, and was drafted by the Houston Astros in the first round in 1997, playing 12 years with the organization before getting dealt to the Yankees in 2010.

Share This(subject specific)? Are teachers' emotions dependent on the group of students they are teaching (group specific)? We chose to focus on three emotions that have been shown to be of particular salience for teachers in the classroom---namely, enjoyment, anger, and anxiety \[[@pone.0129630.ref009]\].

Insight into the degree to which teacher emotions are person, subject, and group specific has far-reaching implications for assessment and intervention applications. If teacher emotions are shown to be predominantly shaped by the person, then generic approaches to their assessment could be used (e.g., "How do you generally feel when teaching?"), and intervention programs could focus on general emotion-regulation techniques. In contrast, if teacher emotions also proved to be shaped by the subject and/or student group, then assessment should be tailored to these levels of specificity (e.g.,


"How do you feel when teaching math/when teaching this group of students?"), and interventions should be designed to attend to the peculiarities of teaching certain subjects or particular groups of students. To date, established scales for the assessment of teacher emotions, and programs aimed to optimize teachers' emotional experiences are scarce. Thus, a further aim of the present research is to provide empirically supported recommendations for the development of such assessment instruments and intervention programs.

The Person and Context Specificity of Teacher Emotions {#sec002}
------------------------------------------------------

It is a long-standing and widely-acknowledged assumption in psychology that a person's behavior and experience is a function of both the person and their situation \[[@pone.0129630.ref010]\]. Nevertheless, the person-situation debate concerning the consistency of behaviors and experiences across situations is still a heated one \[[@pone.0129630.ref011]\]. Forplay a role in determining how people feel. For the present research, context was defined as the academic content (i.e., the academic subject taught) and social context (i.e., the particular group of students taught).

Another way of addressing the question of context specificity is to record people's reports of their emotional experience in a one-shot design, while formulating items explicitly with respect to various different contexts (i.e., "In context A, I feel...", "In context B, I feel..."). Then, correlations between context-specific emotion scores can be assessed. If correlations between context-specific emotion scores are low, inferences from a person's emotional experiences in one context to another context cannot be made reliably, and thus the considered contextual factors seem to play a role in determining how people feel.

Discussion {#sec022}
----------

Study 2 replicated and extended the results of Study 1. Addressing the teacher/group confound of Study 1, we focused on subject teachers who, in Germany, typically teach at least two (albeit related) subjects to several different groups of students within one school year. Thus, we could additionally analyze the group specificity of teachers' emotions in this study. In general, the findings on the person specificity of teacher emotions, as demonstrated in Study 1, could be replicated within Study 2. Furthermore, even across the closely related subjects of mathematics and physics, teacher enjoyment again proved to be clearly subject specific, and significantly more so than anxiety. The evidenceassumption that human behavior and experiences are determined both by personality and situational factors \[[@pone.0129630.ref010]\], researchers to this day continue to debate the actual consistency of human behaviors and experiences across situations \[[@pone.0129630.ref011]\]. As far as emotions are concerned, it is widely accepted that people differ from one another in the frequency and intensity with which they experience certain emotions, and thus emotions can be considered traits. On the other hand, emotions can also be considered states that strongly fluctuate from moment to moment within each individual \[[@pone.0129630.ref022]\]. As such, the between-person versus within-person variability remains a particularly intriguing question when it comes to emotions.

The present research utilized the profession of teaching as one particular example of the wide variety of contexts within which these principles of human


intriguingly, also on par with levels of teachers' enjoyment, anger, and anxiety, as perceived by students \[[@pone.0129630.ref045]\].

Our first aim was to examine the person specificity of teacher emotions: Are the emotions teachers experience while teaching unique to the individual teacher? The findings across both studies indeed underscored the person specificity of enjoyment, anger, and particularly anxiety.

Our second aim was to examine the context specificity of teachers' emotions: Do teachers' emotions vary within teachers according to various contexts they encounter? Our findings are able to offer differentiated insight into this question. Study 1 addressed the subject specificity of emotions for teachers teaching disparate academic subjects (German, mathematics, and the sciences) to a single group of students. Study 2 extended these results by investigating the subject specificity of emotions forup-regulate their enjoyment and down-regulate their anger and anxiety during teaching most generally (see e.g., \[[@pone.0129630.ref057]\] on teachers\' sponaneous use of emotion regulation strategies in the classroom, or \[[@pone.0129630.ref058]\]).

Beyond such general approaches, our findings also imply that both assessment and intervention could profit from considering subject specific and group specific factors. As such, assessments targeting subject- and/or group-specific teacher emotions (e.g., "How much enjoyment/anger/anxiety do you feel when teaching subject x/this particular group of students") might be even more meaningful than context-general assessments. Interestingly, the degree to which student motivation can and should be understood as context specific versus generalized across contexts is a similarly debated topic \[[@pone.0129630.ref059], [@pone.0129630.ref060]\]. To illustrate, Marsh and Yeung \[[@pone.0129630.ref061]\] argued that ''researchers should consider multiple dimensions of self-concept particularly relevant to the


concerns of their research, supplemented, perhaps, by more general measures" (p. 526). The same may apply for the assessment of teacher emotions.

With respect to intervention, the findings imply that teachers should be instructed to focus on what causes their emotions when teaching a particular subject and/or a particular group of students. For example, this may include classroom activities specifically tailored to teach certain challenging content areas, or classroom management strategies that are specifically designed to tackle certain problems arising within a particular group of students.

To conclude, we encourage investigators to consider both person- and context-specific variables when investigating teachers' emotions and when designing assessments and intervention programs. This should be conducive to the validity of measures of teacher emotions and to the quality of interventions targeting these emotions.

Gastric mucosa of fetal rats undergoes striking developmental changes during the last few days of gestation in utero. To investigate some aspects of this process, gastric explants from 18-day fetuses (4 days before birth) were maintained in organ culture for 3 days, then assessed by light and electron microscopy. The epithelia from base line uncultured stomachs were stratified and morphologically undifferentiated. During culture in basic medium (Leibovitz L 15), modest maturation of antral and fundic architecture occurred, characterized by epithelial invagination to produce small pit-glands. Secretory granules appeared in occasional epithelial cells, and cytochemistry indicated that most were mucous granules. Addition of pentagastrin (10(-9) to 2 X 10(-7) M) did not induce further morphological maturation

Another demonstrated mechanism of resistance to anti-proliferation and to apoptotic signals is based in the differential delivery of retinoids to nuclear receptors by CRABP2 or FABP5^[@CR26],[@CR27]^.

This CRABP2/FABP5 ratio reached pre-eminence a few years ago as a mechanism to explain response to retinoids, but current evidence supports a complex panorama with many possible mechanisms in interplay and with lack of demonstrable participation of the CRABP2/FABP5 ratio in the retinoic acid response of some cells^[@CR30]--[@CR32],[@CR35]^.

Trump thinks his dad shouldn’t release his taxes because then there would be “a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about.”

Well, I’m sure it’s true that out here among us little people in the great beyond of non-billionaire-land, there are some who know very little about taxes and who couldn’t do much with Donald Trump’s returns, but there are also an awful lot of us for whom taxes are a part of a lifelong adult learning curriculum that even brings an excruciating, annual deep-dive refresher course. And then there’s a not insignificant number of true experts who would surely be willing to leaven our collective intelligence to bring to ahigh level — even the highest — the accumulated sum of our efforts to analyze those truly amazing, surely stupendous, the likes of which ain’t never been seen before Trump tax returns.

There is just so much to say about Through His Eyes. It’s absolutely another 5 star read by Nikki Ash. I fell in deep serious love with this book. My favorite thing about it was Quinn (the heroine) and the realness her character portrays. She is every woman!!! There was no sugarcoating her pain and insecurities. She told a story of the immense power a significant other can have over our self-worth . I love that Nikki told this story from a prospective of all those woman who’ve been torn down,


all of Nikki’s books, but Through Her Eyes has moved into the top spot. What an inspiring message - easily one of my favorite books of 2019!

Quinn is a single Mom who doesn’t always see her worth. Her past experiences have gotten into head and will not allow her to fully live. When Lachlan seems interested in her, she alwSo powerful!

Quinn is a single Mom who doesn’t always see her worth. Her past experiences havehid away in fear. Lachlan’s love allows her to soar and to see herself in a new light. Her broken soul is becoming whole once again.

The love in this book…could Lachlan be any sweeter? Holy hotness! His love not only for Quinn but for her daughter too, I am not sure which made me swoon more. And the updates…the UPDATES… for all the Imperfection Love series gang!! It is very hard to let go of bond you form with each and every one of these characters.

As a bigger girl, I can fully relate to Quinn. It doesn’t matter how much confidence you have, there will always be that little voice that says you are not good enough. Someone will always be thinner, prettier, funnier… I can only imagine

Use a separate partition to host tomcat's webapps

I'm setting up s serie of tomcat server.
And i've read a security guide.
They say that, it's a good idea to host tomcat's webapps folder on a different partition than the rest of tomcat files.
I'm wondering if it really worst the effort.
I'm running tomcat 7 on a ubuntu install, with no additional servicve on the machine.
So is it a good idea?
edit: the document is from cisecurity.org

A:

Yes, it is a good idea. Putting application files, especially upload and tmp folders, on separate partitions/logical volumes is a good practice. Any folder where disk usage can grow without warning should be a separate partition. The most critical folders to protect from filling up are root (/), and /tmp.

One concept that has been successfully employed to enhance the entertainment value of a game is the concept of a “secondary” or “bonus” game that may be played in conjunction with a “basic” game. The bonus game may comprise any type of game, either similar to or completely different from the basic game, which is entered upon the occurrence of a selected event or outcome in the basic game.

The public nature of an act is not always

persons are gathered may be regarded as a public place for the purpose

true when the act is of such a nature as to bring discredit upon the armed

of the locus, but because of the actual presence of other persons.

Soon though it becomes clear that everything is becoming to much and Gleeson is most moving when he presents Cahill even losing his ability to always smile to the police. One of his best scenes is when Gleeson shows Cahill losing almost all his reserve and Gleeson portrays it as Cahill completely breaking down but constantly trying to keep himself together though he simply is not able to. Gleeson gives a great portrait of Cahill's emotional rise and fall as he shows that he is basically finished mentally even before he receives his fatal wounds from the I.R.A.

Anthony Wong did not receive an Oscar nomination for portraying Tung in Beast Cops.

Beast Cops is a bit of an odd filmman incapable of seeing the error of his ways. I love this performance, which is even very entertaining due to Barrymore's energetic style, yet that never takes away even an ounce of the viciousness of his characterization.

Henry Travers did not receive an Oscar nomination for portraying Clarence Odbody, angel second class, in It's A Wonderful Life.

Henry Travers first speaks rather early in the film as he is called upon by God and Joseph to be the one to go down to Earth to help George Bailey (James Stewart) before he takes his life. Before Clarence can go help him though he is first given George's back story which is about the first two thirds of the film. During this time Clarence makes the occasional comment, and you could


such a sweetness in his performance, which never feels too much or forced, but rather is truly angelic.

Travers also manages to bring a certain kookiness to the role that he also so carefully portrays as it could easily become cloying but Travers is only ever endearing in his portrayal of it. Travers has a very sly comic timing and manner in his performance. He never distracts too much away from the importance of the emotions concerning George's story and brings these humorous moments flawlessly into these scenes. Travers is actually quite unassumingly hilarious as Clarence as he makes the character's naivety and somewhat absentmindedness both funny yet just so very charming at the same time. This is one of those performances where you could almost take any linereally in the beast as he seems to only earnestly urge Belle to love if rather than trying any overt romantic gestures. With the sweetness though Marais is quite moving in his depiction of the Beast slowly weakening resolve and the way it seems that the Beast is far more fearful of the beauty than she is of him.

The chemistry he and Day strike is most unusual really yet so affecting in a rather otherworldly fashion. The connection they create though absolutely works. What I like most in this version though is in the pivotal scene where the Beast becomes the Prince. What I love about is Day and Marais don't quite present it as you might think. Instead of instantly embracing each other or anything like that


there is instead a certain awkwardness both actors bring to the scene. This awkwardness is a good thing though kinda making it like the beast now as the Prince does need to reintroduce himself again since he has become a man again. Marais brings a certain hesitation as if the Beast is making sure she still loves him even though he's no longer the beast. Both of their performances in this scene allows them to earn their happy ending much more as they take the moment to recognize the transition, and give it the wondrous quality it needs.eyes cannot see it, or of a different skin color or place of origin.

We should learn how to best love those who are close to death. We should pray for holy deaths for them and for ourselves, recognizing that Jesus brings us to new life with Him through His death and resurrection. We should pray for the grace to build a true culture of life. And we should affirm the goodness of life in all that we do and say.

years. Because this appeal presents preclusion issues, we cannot avoid describing the history in some detail; we will simplify where we can. Stylemaster was and Matrix continues to be in the molded-plastics industry. Starting in 1994, Stylemaster bought plastic injection molds from an outside vendor and had them shipped directly to *543 Matrix. Matrix fashioned the molds into plastic storage containers for Stylemaster (think the long plastic storage bins that slide under beds), which in turn distributed the containers to big-box retailers like Kmart and Target. Over time, Stylemaster had difficulty paying Matrix's invoices and the relationship soured. As of November 1997, Matrix claimed that Stylemaster owed it approximately $2.4 million. The two companies negotiated a solution whereby Matrix claimed a first-priority lien over the molds in itsfor the motion was that Stylemaster had engaged in "significant acts of fraud, dishonesty, incompetence and/or gross mismanagement" and "intentionally and fraudulently induced Matrix IV to produce and ship it goods with no intention of paying for those goods." The motion also alleged that Stylemaster had misrepresented that the large, expedited orders were from Kmart when they actually went directly into Stylemaster's inventory.
Without ruling on the motion to dismiss, the bankruptcy court ordered the auction sale to proceed and set a date for filing written objections to the sale. Matrix filed another objection, arguing that Stylemaster, by not properly disclosing its assets, had discouraged potential bidders and given an unfair advantage to J.R. Plastics, an insider, in the bidding process. The bankruptcy court issued an order approving the


alleged prebankruptcy scheme, Matrix has no RICO or commonlaw fraud claim.
Matrix also contends, quite implausibly, that it never actually pleaded fraud in its opposition to the bankruptcy sale or in the adversary proceeding. Matrix claims that because it withdrew its motion to dismiss the bankruptcy case and removed the mention of "fraud" from its supplemental statement of facts in support of equitable subordination, the present allegations of conspiracy to defraud were never put before the bankruptcy court. This is hardly an accurate representation of the bankruptcy proceedings. Even accepting the proposition that the withdrawal of the motion to dismiss and the recharacterization of the equitable-subordination defense took some of the fraud allegations off the table, it is abundantly clear that Matrix doggedly pursued its claim of fraud throughoutthe bankruptcy proceedings. Matrix's objection to the asset sale and its equitable-subordination defense in the lien-priority proceeding turned entirely on allegations that a fraudulent scheme was afoot. More fundamentally, Matrix's argument ignores that identity of claims for res judicata purposes has nothing to do with legal theories; the key is that the claims arise from the same core of operative facts. Matrix's equitable-subordination defense in the lien priority proceeding rested on the same *549 fraud allegations Matrix raised and lost in its objection to the § 363 sale; in turn, these same allegations form the basis of the RICO and fraud claims asserted here.
Finally, there can be little doubt that the bankruptcy court rendered final judgments on the merits. The bankruptcy orders confirming the asset sale under §


of the interplay between claim-preclusion principles and the bankruptcy court's authority to render final judgments. To explain Barnett thus requires a short detour into the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction. The Bankruptcy Code provides that "[b]ankruptcy judges may hear and enter final judgments in `all core proceedings arising under title 11, or arising in a case under title 11.'" Stern, 131 S.Ct. at 2604 (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(1)). Section 157(b)(2) provides a nonexhaustive list of "core" proceedings; as relevant here, these include "determinations of the validity, extent, or priority of liens" and "orders approving the sale of property." See 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(K), (N). Bankruptcy courts may also hear actions that are "related to" core proceedings but cannot resolve these "noncore" proceedings unless all parties consent. Id. § 157(c)(1),did not mention res judicata or claim preclusion explicitly, but the phrase "[i]n light of the judgment in the bankruptcy matter" makes it clear that Gateway would argue preclusion. This inference is reinforced by the fact that Matrix's attorneys had already been fighting Gateway's preclusion defenses in the shareholder litigation.


transition" (Fischer-Kowalski and Haberl [@CR17]; Krausmann et al. [@CR38]). However, long-term socio-ecological research has thus far largely focused on the extraction of biomass and energy from the environment, and knowledge gaps exist with regard to how much and which type of energy was used in the process of biomass extraction.

The ratio of energy outputs to inputs, or energy return on investment (EROI), is a concept suitable to shed light on this issue. It was first developed in a study on migrating fish (Hall [@CR32]) and later applied in the investigation of the energy efficiency of fossil energy generation (Cleveland et al. [@CR8]; Murphy and Hall [@CR45]; Guilford et al. [@CR26]; Court and Fizaine [@CR10]). In parallel, the same concept was applied to agricultural systems (Pimentel et al. [@CR49];et al.

The case studies vary greatly in terms of climatic conditions and agricultural structure, and display distinct trajectories over time. They also differ substantially regarding the degree of administrative integration (e.g., one county or several villages) as well as the area extent, the North American case studies exceeding the European ones by factors of up to 50. Still, each case study represents an agricultural landscape emerging from the specific local biogeographic conditions and the sum of agricultural and forestry practices of farmers operating there at

Three major energy flows through agroecosystems were accounted (Galán et al. [@CR18]; Tello etal. [@CR57], Fig. [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}b):**Final produce** comprises all biomass products from the regional agroecosystem which are used by the local community or sold to markets, including crops and wood derived from the land (land final produce) and livestock products (livestock final produce).**External inputs** encompass energy embodied in labor, household wastes, non-local biomass entering the agroecosystem (market feed or seeds), and industrial energy inputs (energy embodied and used in machinery, mineral fertilizers, pesticides, and electricity). External inputs are usually connected to economic costs and, depending on their composition, may result in a variety of environmental impacts, most prominently the emission of CO~2~ from fossil energy use, or the use of external land for biomass imports.**Biomass reused** includes local reinvestments into the agroecosystems, such as livestock feed and litter, local seeds, and


all the case studies in the time period investigated, with the exception of Vallés, where it declined by 26% due to the abandonment of traditional biomass intensive fertilizing techniques. The flows of biomass reused were the most important energy input into agroecosystems throughout the time period in most case studies and retained levels comparable to those of external inputs at the end of the twentieth century. Trends of total inputs consumed in agroecosystems (Fig. [2d](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}) therefore resemble those of biomass reused until the mid-twentieth century. Only towards the end of the twentieth century did total inputs consumed increase due to external inputs, while biomass reused remained stable. The methodology adopted here displays that the agroecosystem energy transition is characterized by a shift from largely local energy inputs (biomasswent into Photoshop and added another texture to the sky elements and then back into Lightroom again, for a few radial filters and some adjustments using the Local Adjustment Brush.

The population of patients with conotruncal cardiac malformations at-risk for deletions of 22q11.21 to q11.23 is large. Therefore, a rapid DNA- based screening method to detect individuals at high risk for deletions will be required. Thus, we propose to develop and apply a multiplex PCR- based screening assay using highly polymorphic DNA markers. Individuals at risk for deletions will be further screened by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) utilizing 22q11.2-specific cosmid clones which span and flank the cardiac critical region. Utilization of multi-colored fluors for simultaneous hybridization of multiple probes to interphase nuclei will help us to estimate the extent of deletions for selected individuals. We will test the hypothesis that differences in size, location, parent of origin, and etiology of the deletions within 22q11 account for thephenotypic variability observed between CCHD patients with deletions. Furthermore, we suggest that variability in the clinical manifestations between affected members of families may result from change in the size of an inherited deletion during meiosis. To test this hypothesis, we will correlate the size and location of the deletions with the clinical findings the genes discovered and their expression pattern. We will compare the size of deletions in multiple affected family members and test for imprinting effects by determining the parent of origin in patients with deletions. Finally, we propose that 22q11 may rearrange by centromeric exchange with other acrocentric chromosomes. We will examine the prevalence of such "cryptic translocations" as a mechanism associated with generating 22q11.2 deletions. Finally, we propose that the conotruncal heart defects may be


caused by abnormalities of a single gene in the cardiac critical region. To test this hypothesis, we will examine the evidence for the presence of a cardiac critical region in 22q11.21 to 22q11.23 by examining locus associations in CHD families or looking for mutations in specific "candidate" genes in non-deleted patients.see only virtual pids, and all lower layers see only real pids. This is analogous to an operating system design in which a higher layer sees the disk as a filesystem, and a lower layer sees the disk as a collection of disk blocks. In a similar way, DMTCP provides layers to virtualize filenames, environment variables and myriad other names.

In this way, an end user can implement a fault injection plugin layer such that all code below that layer sees injected faults, while higher layers do not see the injected faults. Additionally, such a layer can be instrumented to gather information such as the cumulative number of faults.

DMTCP also provides an API for the application or a plugin to either request a checkpoint or to avoid a checkpoint.


saved as part of a checkpoint image make such migrations challenging. We added DMTCP extensions (plugins) to virtualize the environment and the file paths. This allows a process to be restarted on a different system by changing the values and the paths. Another extension that we added to DMTCP allows a user to explicitly control the checkpointing of files used by their application at the granularity of a single file.

Interfacing with hardware and closed-source, third-party libraries
------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardware emulators communicate with the host software via high-speed interfaces. Any in-flight transactions at checkpoint time can result in the data being lost and inconsistent state on restart. Thus, it is important to bring the system to a quiescent state and drain the in-flight data on the buses before saving the state. Further,above is about the state that’s preserved when a resource is allocated at checkpoint time and needs to be deallocated at restart time. While the restarted process inherits its state from the checkpoint image, its environment (thread ids, in the above case) might have changed on restart. An application author with domain expertise can extend the DMTCP checkpointing framework to recognize and virtualize these resources. The state could be a part of the locks that are acquired by a custom thread-safe malloc library, or the guard regions created by a library to guard against buffer overflows, or the libraries that are loaded temporarily.

the Intel and Mentor Graphics DMTCP-based plugins and other code were of necessity proprietary. This work has shown how the DMTCP plugin model can be used to provide a flexible model enabling full cooperation, while avoiding the more extreme roadmaps of either fully application-specific code or transparent, system-level checkpointing with no knowledge of the proprietary aspects of the Mentor Graphics hardware emulator.

What do U think of? The CPU or VGA? Everything is well seated, no doubt 'bout that. The fact is that the VGA produces more heat than all the rest together (well, this was the case without the Zalman), and is placed below the CPU, and as U know, hot air is lighter than the "cold" one, and it goes up, to the CPU and warms things up. Well, it's not hot like hell, but it gets a little bit warmed when playing. I saw on the internet that the X1900 series VGA produces a lot of heat but 89 degrees was for me way to hot, although there was written that this is normal for X1900 series.

Click tomodel of [ACF]{}$_0$ then there exists $p_0 \in {\mathbb{N}}$ such that $\phi$ is true in any model of ${\sf ACF}_p$ for $p > p_0$.

Part (1) is precisely Theorem \[T:ACcompleteness\]. For part (2) suppose that $\phi$ is true over some field satisfying the axioms of ${\sf ACF}_0$. Then by part (1) it is true for every such field, and by Lemma \[L:goedel\] we conclude that there exists a formal proof for $\phi$ in ${\mathcal{L}_{\operatorname{ring}}}$ using only the axioms of [ACF]{}$_0$. Since the proof of $\phi$ involves only finitely many sentences in ${\mathcal{L}_{\operatorname{ring}}}$, it follows that the set of primes $$P_\phi := \{p \mid \neg \psi_p \text{ occurs in the proof of } \phi\}$$ is finite, where $\psi_p$ is defined in . Hence for $p > \max (P_\phi)$ there is a formal


is subordinate to $\chi$. Furthermore equality holds if and only if ${\mathfrak{s}}$ is a polarisation of $\chi$. Finally we say that a Lie subalgebra ${\mathfrak{s}}\subseteq {\mathfrak{g}}$ is a [*weak polarisation of $\chi$*]{} if ${\mathfrak{s}}$ is isotropic for the form and $$\begin{aligned}
\label{e:weakpolarisationdim}
\dim({\mathfrak{s}}) = \frac{1}{2}(\dim({\mathfrak{g}}) + {\operatorname{ind}}({\mathfrak{g}})).\end{aligned}$$

The proof of Theorem \[mainthm\] rests on the existence of solvable weak polarisations for linear forms, and the following result is the key step.

\[P:solvablepolarisationsexist\] For all $n, d \in {\mathbb{N}}$, there exists $p_1 = p_1(n,d) \in {\mathbb{N}}$ such that if:

1.  $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > p_1$;

2.  ${\mathfrak{g}}$ is a Lie algebra of dimension $n$ over $k$;

3.  there exists a faithful representation $\rho : {\mathfrak{g}}\rightarrow {\mathfrak{gl}}_d(k)$;

then for every $\chi \in {\mathfrak{g}}^*$ there is a solvable weak polarisation ${\mathfrak{s}}\subseteqany $(f, A, \chi) \in k^{n^3 + nd^2 + n}$ we consider the following four claims:

1.  $f = (f_{i,j;l})$ are the structure constants of a Lie bracket $[\cdot, \cdot]_f$ on $k^n$;

2.  the Lie algebra $(k^n, [\cdot, \cdot]_f)$ has index equal to $r$;

3.  the linear map $k^n \rightarrow {\operatorname{Mat}}_d(k)$ given by $v_i \mapsto A_i$ is a faithful Lie algebra representation $\rho : k^n \rightarrow {\mathfrak{gl}}_d(k)$;

4.  There exist elements $x_1,...,x_s \in k^n$ where $s = \frac{1}{2}(n + r)$ which are linearly independent and span a solvable Lie subalgebra ${\mathfrak{s}}$ of $(k^n, [\cdot, \cdot]_f)$ such that $\chi([{\mathfrak{s}},{\mathfrak{s}}]_f) = 0$ and $\rho({\mathfrak{s}})$ is upper-triangularisable inside ${\mathfrak{gl}}_d(k)$.

Now consider the following statements indexed by $r$: $$\begin{aligned}
\Phi_r & : & \forall (f, A, \chi) \in k^{n^3 + d^2 n + n}


upper-triangularisable in ${\mathfrak{gl}}_d(k)$.

\[C:chchchchchangesagain\] For all $d \in {\mathbb{N}}$ there exists $p_0 = p_0(d) \in {\mathbb{N}}$ such that if $k = \overline{k}$ is a field of characteristic $p > p_0$, if ${\mathfrak{g}}\subseteq {\mathfrak{gl}}_d(k)$ and $M$ is a simple ${\mathfrak{g}}$-module with $p$-character $\chi$ then $M$ is a quotient of a module of the form ${\operatorname{Ind}}_{\bar {\mathfrak{s}}}^{{\mathfrak{g}}, \chi} (M_0)$, where $\bar {\mathfrak{s}}$ is a restricted Lie subalgebra of ${\mathfrak{g}}$ which contains a solvable weak polarisation of $\chi$, and $M_0$ is a one-dimensional $U_\chi(\bar {\mathfrak{s}})$-module.

Fix $d \in {\mathbb{N}}$, let $p_0 := \max\{d, p_1(1, d), p_1(2, d),...,p_1(d^2, d)\}$ where $p_1(n,d)$ was defined in Proposition \[P:solvablepolarisationsexist\], and let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > p_0$. Let ${\mathfrak{g}}\subseteq {\mathfrak{gl}}_d(k)$ be restricted and let $\chi \in {\mathfrak{g}}^*$. Thanks to Proposition \[P:solvablepolarisationsexist\] we know thereof the theory of algebraic group schemes, following [@DG:1970], [@Jan03]. Throughout the subsection we fix a commutative unital ring $R$, we write $R{\operatorname{-alg}}$ for the category of $R$-algebras, and we say that $k$ is an [*$R$-field*]{} if $k$ is both a field and an object of $R{\operatorname{-alg}}$. An affine algebraic group scheme $G$ over $R$ is a functor from $R$-algebras to groups, naturally equivalent to one of the form ${\operatorname{Spec}}_R R[G] := {\operatorname{Hom}}_{R{\operatorname{-alg}}}(R[G], -)$ where $R[G]$ is some $R$-algebra. We call $R[G]$ the co-ordinate ring of $G$. We say that $G$ is of finite type over $R$ if $R[G]$ is a finitely generated $R$-algebra. The archetypal example of an affine algebraic group scheme is ${\operatorname{GL}}_d$. Endowing an $R$-algebra $R[G]$ with the structure of an affine algebraic group scheme

Basal forebrain grafts in the hippocampus and neocortex: regulation of acetylcholine release.
The regulation of acetylcholine (ACh) release from cholinergic neurons transplanted to the hippocampus or neocortex was studied by microdialysis in awake rats. Fetal basal forebrain tissue was implanted as a cell suspension or solid graft into the fimbria-fornix-lesioned hippocampus, or as a cell suspension into the frontal cortex after excitotoxic lesion of the nucleus basalis. Several months after transplantation, microdialysis probes were implanted in areas of the hippocampus or frontal cortex reinnervated by the grafts. The grafts restored lesion-induced deficits in steady-state ACh release up to normal or above normal levels in both hippocampus and frontal cortex. The responses to KCl and tetrodotoxin suggested that the ACh release exhibited normal firing-dependent properties. By applying various behaviorally arousingrandom and independent?

For many PRNG designs, instances initialized with sequential seeds can lead to random sequences with undesirable correlations.  This is illustrated in a post on the Unity Blog.

This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
Computing systems are often used for servicing large groups of individuals, such as employees at companies, etc. In order to accommodate the workloads associated with or demanded by such individuals, the computing systems typically comprise a plurality of electronic equipment such as computer servers, telecommunications devices, etc. Usually, such equipment is located together at a particular location (e.g., in data center, a server room, etc.) for centralized administration, and is housed in standardized racks and rack-mountable equipment enclosures. In connection therewith, and in order to facilitate such administration, card readers are often housed with the equipment in the racks and are provided in communication with the equipment. In particular, the card readers are15 may not be able to slide through the openings 23 (the openings 23 are typically configured to only allow access to the card slots 21). Accordingly, in order to position the card readers 15 in the rack 1, the card readers 15 are typically coupled to the support bracket 13 first, and the support bracket 13 is then coupled to the vertical rails 5 of the rack 1.
Corresponding reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release.

The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the Risk Factors included in the Company's recentThe isolates were characterized for virulence to barley leaf rust resistance genes by inoculating at least two replicates of a barley leaf rust differential set including 12 Rph genes (1). Previous methods used for inoculation, incubation, and pathotyping were followed (1). Infection types were scored on a 0 to 4 scale where 2 and below indicated resistance and 3 and above indicated susceptibility (4). The three isolates collected from Doyce barley displayed large pustules with infection types 3,3+ to cultivars Estate (Rph3) and Cebada Capa (Rph7). Avirulent isolates of P. hordei displayed infection types 0; to 0;1c to Estate and ;n to 0;1n to Cebada Capa (1). The data indicated that all three isolates were virulent to both barley leaf rust resistance genes Rph3 and Rph7. Though combined


Fundamentally, omni takes a function, inspects the function's parameter names, and executes the function with the parameters as identified by their names. A common use case is building up routes for use in ExpressJS without having to do explicit require calls in every route file:Q:

Purpose of a resistor in active filter circuit

I am currently analysing this circuit, and even though its purpose is clear to me I am unable to tell what is R17 supposed to do. Is it there just to set gain? I would be grateful for any explanation, as I don't have that much experience with hardware

A:

This is a second order Sallen-Key filter.
R17 is basically a piece of wire, at least compared to the input resistance of the op-amp, and sets its gain to approximately unity.
Why use a resistor instead of a bit of wire? It's the same value as R18. This means that input bias currents drawn by the amplifier tend to create the same drop in R17 and R18, giving the filter as close to zero DC


recall was assessed. Findings indicated that dissociation was related to higher distress ratings following the film but was not related to acceptance of misinformation. However, avoidance scores were related to increased recall of misinformation items, and reported experiences of intrusions were related to greater accuracy. These results are discussed in light of the paradoxical negative emotion hypothesis.        claimName: {{ template "fullname" . }}-db2u-sqllib-shared
