In the last decade significant progress was achieved for flat (curvature zero) conical metrics, see e.g. [@Au-Sal; @Au-Sal; @2; @Spreafico; @KokotKorot; @ProcAMS; @HKK1; @HKK2]. Here, for instance, results in [@Au-Sal; @Au-Sal; @2] can be interpreted as a generalization of Polyakov-Alvarez formula to the case of flat conical metrics on a disk and on a sphere, the main result in [@ProcAMS] is a simple consequence of an analog of Polyakov formula for two conformally equivalent flat conical metrics and the results in [@KokotKorot]. Some results were also obtained for determinants of Laplacians in constant positive curvature (spherical) [@Dowker; @Spreafico3; @Klevtsov; @IMRN; @Bul] and other conical metrics [@KalvinJGA], but no Polyakov-Alvarez type formulas for metrics other than smooth or conical flat were available until now.

In the first part of this paper we prove Polyakov-Alvarez type formulasflat metric $|x|^{2\beta_j}|dx|^2$. In this paper we consider dilation analytic perturbations. Namely, we assume that $m_\varphi$ is dilation analytic in the following sense: for any $P^j\in{\operatorname{supp}}\pmb \beta$ there exists a centred at $P^j$ local holomorphic parameter $x$ such that $m_\varphi=|x|^{2\beta_j}e^{2\phi_j}|dx|^2$ and the function $\epsilon\mapsto \phi_j(\epsilon^{\frac{1}{\beta_j+1}}x)$ extends by analyticity to a neighbouhood of zero for any $x$ with $|x|<c$, where $c>0$ is sufficiently small. In particular, recent results on regularity of spherical (positive constant curvature) and hyperbolic (negative constant curvature) conical metrics [@BinXuSp; @BinXuHyp] show that any constant curvature conical metric $m_\varphi$ is dilation analytic, see also Remark \[CC\] in Sec. \[SSnon-flat\].

Let $\Delta^\varphi$ stand for the Friederichs extension of the Laplacian on $(M,m_\varphi)$ initially defined on the functions in $C_0^\infty(M\setminus{\operatorname{supp}}\pmb\beta)$. The spectrum $\sigma(\Delta^\varphi)$ of $\Delta^\varphi$ consists of isolated eigenvalues $\lambda_k$ of finite


boundary $\partial M$ (all are with respect to the metric $m_0$); the function $C(
\beta)$ is the same as in .

The non-integral terms in the right hand side of  and  are responsible for the inputs from the conical singularities and do not depend on the choice of local parameters. If the function $\varphi$ in the equality $m_\varphi=e^{2\varphi}m_0$ is smooth (or, equivalently, the metric $m_\varphi$ is smooth, ${\operatorname{supp}}\pmb\beta=\varnothing$, and $n=0$), then the non-integral terms (the last lines in  and ) disappear. As a result the f-las  and  become the well-known Polyakov-Alvarez formulas written in a slightly different “regularized” form, cf. e.g. [@Pol; @PolF; @Alvarez; @OPS; @Weisberger]. This regularization keeps the integrals in  and  finite for the conical metrics $m_\varphi$.

The assumption on dilation analyticity of $m_\varphi$ allows us to rely only on known short$x(P^j)=0$ and $x$ is a local holomorphic parameter in which the metric $m_\varphi=|x|^{2\beta_j}e^{2\phi_j}|dx|^2$ is dilation analytic. In these coordinates the Laplacian $ \Delta^\varphi$ takes the form $$\Delta^\varphi=-e^{\phi_j(r, \theta)}r^{-2}\Bigl((r\partial_r)^2+(\beta_j+1)^{-2}\partial_\theta^2\Bigr)$$ and thus falls into the class of elliptic cone operators with stationary domains studied in [@GKM]: 1) The potential $(r,\theta)\mapsto\phi_j(r,\theta)=\phi_j(x)$ is smooth up to $r=0$ due to dilation analyticity of the metric $m_\varphi$; 2) The domain of $\Delta^\varphi$ is stationary because $\Delta^\varphi$ is the Friederichs selfadjoint extension in $L^2(M,m_\varphi)$.

Let $\chi_j(r,\theta)=\chi_j(r)$ with a cutoff function $\chi_j\in C_c^\infty\bigl([0,\frac {\epsilon^{\beta_j+1}} {\beta_j+1})\bigr)$ that equals $1$ in a neighborhood of $r=0$; we extend $\chi_j$ from $D_\epsilon^j$ to $M$ by zero. Then a direct application of [@GKM Theorem 1.1] implies that the heat trace ${\operatorname{Tr}}\bigl(\chi_j e^{-t\Delta^\varphi}\bigr)$ has a short time asymptotic expansion of the form .

The answer to that question in the past might have tilted towards visiting as many customers as possible and completing as many jobs as they can rather than spend any extra time with a customer whose job has been completed to process payment. But today with the innovative technological solutions available which make collecting and processing payments easier, more convenient and a lot more secure, onsite credit card processing is an absolute must.

No matter the size of your business or type of industry, Cash flow is one of the major things that differentiates a top-performing business and an average company. Let’s assume you stick to


the old method of manually preparing an invoice and sending it to your customers; the average processing and response time can take as much as four days after the job has been done especially if you are dealing with a large organization rather than an individual.

Even when it was an individual that enlisted your services, it is common knowledge that most people generally don’t respond to invoices the same day they receive them so you should expect a lag of at least a day after whatever length of days it takes you to prepare the bill on your end.

Employing onsite mobile invoicing and onsite credit card processing helps you cut down drastically on the time it takes to process your payments.

A vertical driving circuit for selecting the pixels by a unit of a row uses a direct-current voltage of a greater absolute value than the horizontal driving circuit. Accordingly, the liquid crystal display apparatus mounted in the portable terminal uses a power supply voltage converting circuit, or a so-called DC-to-DC converter (hereinafter described as a DD converter) for converting a single direct-current voltage into a plurality of direct-current voltages of different voltage values.
A conventional DD converter in a liquid crystal display apparatus generally uses an inductor L. However, with a recent reduction in power consumption and size of portable terminals, DD converters of a charge pump type have often been used.

Before proceeding further, we would like to place this model in the perspective of existing work in the subject. Consider the “homogeneous sector", where all agents have the same (but in general mixed) strategy profile: $p^{\alpha} = x \
\forall \ \alpha$. Then Eq. (\[2.1\]) reduces to $${\dot x}_i(t) = x_i(t) [ \sum_j a_{ij}x_j(t) - \sum_{k,j} x_k(t) a_{kj}
x_j(t)] (N-1).

It has applications in diverse fields such as economics and sociobiology (where it models evolutionary games) macromolecular evolution (describing evolution of autocatalytic networks, in particular the hypercyclic feedback), mathematical ecology (Eq. (\[2.3\]) maps onto the Lotka-Volterra equation) and population genetics (where it is the continuous counterpartnear-equality of payoffs required for the existence of a strict Nash equilibrium.

Diversity and self-organization
-------------------------------

We have seen above that among the FDCEPs, only a very small subset can be asymptotically stable. Now we consider non-FDCEPs. It could happen that along with an FDCEP, some non-FDCEPs are also stable. In that case, if the community starts in the basin of attraction of a non-FDCEP, it would eventually lose its diversity. We would like to eliminate such attractors of the dynamics. It turns out that this can be achieved by imposing certain inequalities on the payoff matrix elements. Consider the following condition:

[**A2:**]{} The payoff matrix is diagonally subdominant, i.e., $a_{ii} < a_{ji} \forall j \ne i$.

The first autochtonous human case of Lyme disease in Quebec was reported in 2008 (Quebec National Institute of Public Health, unpublished observations). Black legged tick populations, the vector of *B. burgdorferi*, are now recognized as having become established in the southern part of the province, with up to 13% of ticks infected with *B. burgdorferi*\[[@B37]\]. Given these changing dynamics, the Quebec public health authorities have expressed the desire to proactively respond to this public health concern and to develop a Lyme disease management plan. As such, this is an ideal context for the use of MCDA methods forPerformance parameters on criteria varied depending on the intervention. For example, CONT1b (large scale acaricide application) had the highest parameter value (equal to 48) for criterion AEC1 (impact on habitat), meaning that this intervention would have the highest impact on habitat among all interventions included in the matrix. CONT0 (status quo), CONT11 (vaccination) and CONT12 (development of Lyme disease clinics to facilitate diagnostic and treatment) had the lowest parameter values for criterion AEC1 (equal to 1), meaning that these interventions would have the lowest impact on habitat.

For example, as shown in Table [7](#T7){ref-type="table"}, stakeholder 8 can change the weight given to the SEC2 criteria (cost for the private sector) from 0 to 100% without this change affecting the nature of the stakeholder's top three ranked interventions. However, any variations in the weight of the "PHC1-Reduction in human cases incidence" criterion beyond the range of 27.5 to 38.2 will result in a change in nature of the top ranked interventions for stakeholder 3 indicating that the results are more sensitive to this later criterion.

This centre recently published a method for synthesizing knowledge about public policies, integrating six dimensions \[[@B43]\], which can be directly correlated to our list of criteria as shown in Table [8](#T8){ref-type="table"}.

For example, to assess the social acceptability of different control interventions, a Delphi survey was conducted among the stakeholders. A more representative survey conducted among the target population could increase the precision of this performance measure. Furthermore, additional analysis using the same MCDA model structure in other geographical areas where Lyme disease epidemiology is better characterised would provide an opportunity to validate the present model.

The current communication method in place involves the diffusion of general information via the public organisation's web interface.

Future steps should include an assessment of the applicability and usefulness of the proposed models for program-level decision support pertinent to the prevention and control of Lyme disease in Canada. Moreover, building on the outcome of this project, future projects should evaluate the utility of MCDA for structuring a formal decision analysis approach for other complex public health issues (e.g.: prevention of foodborne and waterborne diseases, antimicrobial resistance, influenza, and environmental health issues) as well as within various ongoing processes and prioritization settings targeting effective multi-sectoral engagement. The development of a methodological framework for MCDA model validation would also be of great interest for the public health sector.

iPhone/iPad universal build problem with firmware version

I was doing a project as Universal binary for iPhone/iPad. I created the iPhone app side
and I was doing to complete the iPad too. I noticed one thing, on iPad classes I use the UIPopoverController class, means that when I build now for 3.2 in the Simulator, it runs te iPad one and it works fine, BUT if I want to see the iPhone version app, means 3.1.3, It give me an error of framework missing in the iPad classes.
I have no idea how to solve this problem because I cannot anymore see the iPhone version of the app and make changes. I can only remove all the iPad classes and after reimport again.
thanks guys!

A:

With the 3.2 SDK the Simulator will onlyhave to remove your popover references and you should be able to compile. However, as I said, this will only be useful if you have a physical device to test with.
If you want to use the simulator, you'll have to follow the preprocessor conditions method.

When you sit and consider the two different styles that are presented (YouTube and traditional television), they pitch the sport in very different ways. Would non-golfers still feel as bored by the game if they watched YouTube content as oppose to the professional competition content on television?

It is up to the server if and when it validates the payload for any given request, based solely on it's security policy
and the nature of the data included.

If the payload is available at the time of authentication, the server uses the hash value provided by the client to construct
the normalized string and validates the MAC. If the MAC is valid, the server calculates the payload hash and compares the value
with the provided payload hash in the header. In many cases, checking the MAC first is faster than calculating the payload hash.

However, if the payload is not available at authentication time (e.g. too large to fit in memory, streamed elsewhere, orOAuth 1.0 got timestamp

it by requiring the client to sync its clock, but provides it with tools to accomplish it.

In general, replay protection is a matter of application-specific threat model. It is less of an issue on a TLS-protected
system where the clients are implemented using best practices and are under the control of the server. Instead of dropping
replay protection, **Hawk** offers a required time window and an optional nonce verification. Together, it provides developers
with the ability to decide how to enforce their security policy without impacting the client's implementation.

make a timely and specific objection to the admission of
evidence at trial
to preserve the issue of erroneous admission of evidence for appeal.

13. A two-part test is applied to determine whether a new trial is warranted based on
newly
discovered evidence. First, the defendant must establish that the newly proffered evidence
could not have been produced at trial with reasonable diligence. Second, there must be a
reasonable probability that the newly discovered evidence would produce a different result
upon retrial.

14. In determining whether a new trial should be granted based on defendant's claim of
newly
discovered evidence, defendant's proffer of inadmissible hearsay and statements that can
be directly contradicted fails to establish that the newly discovered evidence would
produce a different result upon retrial.

Nathan B. Webb, assistant appellate defender, argued the cause and was on
the brief for appellant.

Kristivery good reason for that.

"My point is that you base your verdict on the evidence, not [defense counsel's]
convenient explanation that hey, my client was scared."

Harris did not raise an objection to the prosecutor's comments. However, his objection is
not necessary if the comments prejudiced his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process. See
State v. Jones, 273 Kan. 756, 782, 47 P.3d 783, cert. denied 537 U.S.

When reviewing an allegation of prosecutorial misconduct, an appellate court applies a
two-step analysis to determine whether a prosecutor's comments have denied a defendant his or
her constitutional right to a fair trial. First, the court must determine whether the remarks were
outside the considerable latitude that the prosecutor is allowed in commenting on the evidence.
Second, the court must decide whether the comments were

It also made available civil penalties for violations of the Act. 33 U. S. C. §§ 1319(d), 1365. The legislative history indicated that Congress intended FWPCA to provide a comprehensive solution to the problem of interstate water pollution, as we noted in Milwaukee II, supra, at 317-319.
In contrast, the Nonintercourse Act of 1793 did not establish a comprehensive remedial plan for dealing with violations of Indian property rights. There is no indication in the legislative history that Congress intended to pre-empt commonlaw remedies.[8] Only two sections of the Act, §§ 5 and 8, *238 involve Indian lands at all.[9] The relevant clause of § 8


that the Nonintercourse Acts simply "put in statutory form what was or came to be the accepted rule  that the extinguishment of Indian title required the consent of the United States." 414 U. S., at 678. Nothing in the statutory formulation of this rule suggests that the Indians' right to pursue common-law remedies was thereby pre-empted. Accordingly, we hold that the Oneidas' right of action under federal common law was not pre-empted by the passage of the Nonintercourse Acts.

IV
Having determined that the Oneidas have a cause of action under federal common law, we address the question whether there are defenses available to the counties. We conclude that none has merit.

A

Statute of Limitations
There is no federal statute of limitations governing federal common-law actions by Indians to enforce propertyover the counties' claim for indemnification. Pennhurst, supra.
The only ground the Court of Appeals and the counties offer for believing that the State has consented to suit in federal court on this claim is the fact that it violated the 1793 Nonintercourse Act by purchasing the Oneidas' land. *252 The counties assert that because the Constitution specifically authorizes Congress "[t]o regulate Commerce . . . with the Indian Tribes," the States necessarily consented to suit in federal court with respect to enactments under this Clause. See County of Monroe v. Florida, 678 F. 2d 1124 (CA2 1982) (making an analogous argument with respect to Congress' extradition power), cert. denied, 459 U. S. 1104 (1983); Mills Music, Inc. v. Arizona, 591 F. 2d 1278, 1285 (CA9 1979) (making such


We agree that this litigation makes abundantly clear the necessity for congressional action.
One would have thought that claims dating back for more than a century and a half would have been barred long ago. As our opinion indicates, however, neither petitioners nor we have found any applicable statute of limitations or other relevant legal basis for holding that the Oneidas' claims are barred or otherwise have been satisfied. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is affirmed with respect to the finding of liability under federal common law,[27] and reversed with respect to the exercise of ancillary jurisdiction over the *254A counties' cross-claim for indemnification. The cases are remanded to the Court of Appeals for further proceedings consistent with our decision.
It is so ordered.
JUSTICE STEVENS concurs in theJUSTICE, JUSTICE WHITE, and JUSTICE REHNQUIST join only Part V of this opinion.
[1]  The Treaty of Fort Harmar stated that the Oneidas and the Tuscaroras were "again secured and confirmed in the possession of their respective lands." 7 Stat. 34. The Treaty of Canandaigua of 1794 provided: "The United States acknowledge the lands reserved to the Oneida, Onondaga and Cayuga Nations, in their respective treaties with the state of New-York, and called their reservations, to be their property; and the United States will never claim the same, nor disturb them . . . in the free use and enjoyment thereof: but the said reservations shall remain theirs, until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States, who have the right to purchase."


the United States, who have made, or shall hereafter make, or attempt to make a settlement thereon." 1 Stat. 330. It imposes no obligation on the Executive to take remedial action, and apparently was intended only to give the President discretionary authority to preserve the peace.
[12]  Similarly, we find no support for petitioners' contention that the availability of suits by the United States on behalf of Indian tribes precludes common-law actions by the tribes themselves. See Poafpybitty v. Skelly Oil Co., 390 U. S. 365, 369 (1968); Creek Nation v. United States, 318 U. S. 629, 640 (1943) (citing Cherokee Nation v. Southern Kansas R. Co., 135 U. S. 641 (1890); Cherokee Nation v. Hitchcock, 187 U. S. 294 (1902); and Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock, 187 U.1799, entry in his Journal of executive actions, March 1797-March 1799 ("Signed a treaty with the Oneida nation"), reproduced in The Adams Family Papers, John Adams, Misc. (Lib. Cong. Reel No. 194). Moreover, the 1798 Treaty was included in an 1822 compilation of treaties with the Indians that extinguished Indian title in New York. H. R. Doc. No. 74, 17th Cong., 1st Sess., 8 (1822). There is no similar evidence that the 1802 Treaty was signed by the President.
[21]  The cases relied upon by petitioners likewise do not support a finding of ratification here. Rosebud Sioux Tribe v. Kneip, 430 U. S. 584 (1977), expressly reaffirmed the principles of construction which we apply in this case. Petitioners' other cases, e. g., FPC v. Tuscarora Indian Nation, 362


Nov. 11, 1794, 7 Stat. 46.
[24]  Moreover, Congress' delegation to the President is not a "textually demonstrable constitutional commitment," Baker v. Carr, 369 U. S., at 217 (emphasis added), but rather a statutory commitment of authority. We have held today that the Nonintercourse Acts do not pre-empt common-law causes of action by Indian tribes to enforce their property rights. The language in the Treaty of Canandaigua, see n. 23, supra, is likewise an insufficient basis on which to find that the Oneidas' federal common-law right of action has been pre-empted. Thus, the predicate of petitioners' argument, that Congress has delegated exclusive civil remedial authority to the President, must fail.
[25]  We note that the Commissioner's decision was based on the fact that the same claims were thenshow that the Counties . . . acted other than in good faith when they came into possession of the County Land in the claim area subsequent to 1795 and prior to January 1, 1968").

"While the conditions are much different than they were this winter, the effects are quite the same. We're placing operational guidelines on the vessel industry and shutting parts of the river," said Coast Guard spokesman Colin Fogarty.

A 15-mile stretch of the Mississippi River near St. Louis was closed late Saturday after 114 barges primarily owned by American Commercial Lines (ACL) broke free from a fleeting area and 11 of them, all containing coal, sank.

BAY 12-8039 or moxifloxacin is a new 8-methoxyquinolone with documented, improved activity against Gram-positive cocci and anaerobic bacteria. This study tested 1250 commonly isolated respiratory tract pathogens (251 Moraxella catarrhalis, 499 Haemophilus influenzae, 500 Streptococcus pneumoniae) from 1996-1997 clinical infections at more than 30 medical centers. Among the M. catarrhalis strains (81% beta-lactamase-positive) the BAY 12-8039 MIC90 was 0.06 microgram/mL, a potency equal to ofloxacin but less than all other tested fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, trovafloxacin). The H. influenzae strains were generally less susceptible to BAY 12-8039 (MIC90, 0.03 microgram/mL) than the tested fluoroquinolones, and the other comparison compounds were less active overall.

2005 season: National Championship

As a redshirt junior in  the 2005 season, Young led the Longhorns to an 11–0 regular season record. The Longhorns held a #2 ranking in the preseason, and held that ranking through the season except for one week when they were ranked #1 in the Bowl Championship Series. Texas then won the Big 12 championship game and still held their #2 BCS ranking, which earned them a berth in the National Championship Rose Bowl game against the USC Trojans. Before the game, the USC Trojans were being discussed on ESPN and other media outlets as possibly the greatest college football team of all time. Riding a 34-game winning streak, including the previous National Championship, USC featured two Heisman Trophy winners inInsulin resistance: trigger or concomitant factor in the metabolic syndrome.
The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities with insulin resistance as a major characteristic. The main adverse consequence of the MS is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Complex, mutually reinforcing interactions between obesity and insulin resistance largely account for the pathogenesis of MS. Central pathophysiologic features include: insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, chiefly present as low HDL-C together with increases in triglycerides and small dense, low density lipoprotein particles, hypertension, a proinflammatory state, with increases in acute-phase reactants, and a prothrombotic state. Although lifestyle and overeating seem to be the triggering pathogenic factors, genetic elements are also involved in the pathogenesis of MS. When present, insulin resistance results in impaired insulin action in insulin-sensitive tissues such as muscle, fat,

What is the best way to set up your development environment for Sitecore

The general guidance appears to be to install Sitecore into one folder, e.g. D:\Websites\MyWebSite and then create your Visual Studio project in a separate folder, e.g. C:\Projects\MyWebProject. You would then publish your custom code into the Sitecore folder from Visual Studio (This video explains what I’m describing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Mwcphtz4w around 13 mins in).
I have the following questions:-

Do people only store their Visual Studio project in source countrol and not the Sitecore code?
The publish option from VS into the Sitecore folder only has options for adding files or deleting anything not in the VS project. How would files removed from the VS project ever get deleted without doing it manually?

It was the Huskies' (9-1-0, 3-0-0) first victory over the Cardinal (7-1-1, 1-1-0) since 2016 in what was the first matchup with both sides in the top 10 since 2014."It was a hard-fought battle between two very good teams," Knowles Family Director of Men's Soccersaid.

We dug in, we fought and we competed, butneuroblasts, the Asense-negative type II neuroblasts do not express Prospero, hence, Prospero is not segregated to the INP daughter cell during type II neuroblast division and this may contribute to the continued proliferative activity of INPs in these lineages. This restricted proliferative potential of INPs during limited rounds of asymmetric divisions is maintained by the transcription factor Earmuff \[[@B98], [@B50]\].

The molecular mechanisms that control the limited number of asymmetric proliferative divisions of the neuroblasts in the optic lobe are thought to be similar to those that operate in the INPs of type II neuroblast lineages in the central brain, however, this has not yet been studied in more detail. In contrast, a considerable amount of information is available on the molecular control of the neuroectoderm to neuroblast transformation


as an excellent model system for understanding the mechanisms that underlie neural stem cell-derived tumors \[[@B22], [@B62]\]. Interestingly, these recent investigations have shown that both the molecular mechanisms that control asymmetric cell divisions of neuroblasts in the central brain and those that control the neuroectodermal expansion/transition in the optic lobes are prone to dysregulation which can lead to brain tumor formation.

A firm link between dysregulated asymmetric cell division and brain tumor formation has been established for central brain neuroblasts ([Figure 5(a)](#fig5){ref-type="fig"}). Indeed, a number of regulators of asymmetric cell division act as tumor suppressors in *Drosophila* neuroblasts. Thus, mutations in any one of the key asymmetrically segregated cell-fate determinants Prospero, Numb, or Brat result in brain tumors, even if these mutations are restricted to individual neuroblast clones \[[@B11],#!/usr/bin/env python

Finding diagonal matrix D and invertible matrix C such that $A=C^{-1}DC$

Consider the matrix:

Find a diagonal matrix $D$ and an invertible matrix $C$ such that $A =CDC^{-1}$. Deduce $A^3$. Do not find $C$. Make some conclusions.

be desirable to include independent contractors within ADEA coverage is clearly a matter for Congress, and emphatically not for the courts, to decide.
Plaintiff does not dispute that, thus far, the ADEA has been held to be applicable only to persons who are "employees". Rather, plaintiff suggests that this court should adopt a liberal interpretation of the ADEA and rely on Title VII precedent in interpreting the scope of the ADEA. Specifically, plaintiff claims that under Title VII, a person may bring a cause of action even though he is not a "traditional employee" as long as "some employment relationship" exists. In this case, the plaintiff was an employee of his own corporation, J. William Hayden, Inc. At plaintiff's request, La-Z-Boy paid Hayden's commissions to the corporation; the corporationHayden has not shown that the West Virginia and Northern Indiana territories were in any way similar. Without such a showing, the court has no way of evaluating the significance of such a small difference in percentage of sales growth over a three and one-half year time period and Hayden has not established a prima facie case of age discrimination.
Even assuming that Hayden has established a prima facie case and that the burden has shifted to La-Z-Boy "to articulate a legitimate non-discriminatory reason" for declining to renew Hayden's contract, La-Z-Boy has carried its burden. La-Z-Boy has established that it decided to not renew Hayden's contract because of the relatively flat sales in Hayden's territory; Hayden's failure to sell the desired mix of sleepers, sofas, and recliner sofas; customer


complaints indicating that Hayden rarely called on some of his customers; an investigation by La-Z-Boy's district sales manager, Dwight Dorwart, which confirmed that Hayden had a poor relationship with many of his customers and failed to conduct sales meetings; and Hayden's failure to submit a plan to correct these problems despite being placed on three separate six-month periods of probation.
The court finds that this evidence satisfies La-Z-Boy's burden of production and rebuts the presumption of discrimination raised by Hayden's prima facie case. Thus, the burden shifts back to Hayden to come forward with sufficient evidence to create a genuine issue of material fact on the question of whether La-Z-Boy's articulated reasons for not renewing his contract were mere pretext for discrimination. Weihaupt, supra, 874 F.2d at 428.
The employeein Weihaupt, 874 F.2d at 428.
La-Z-Boy has presented uncontroverted deposition testimony showing that its reasons for terminating Hayden were not pretextual. Specifically, the evidence has shown that La-Z-Boy did not rely on a simple mathematical formula based on total units sold in evaluating the performance of its sales representatives; that between 1987 and 1990, West Virginia's economic statistics were horrible, yet Stultz, Hayden's replacement, was able to do a satisfactory job; and that Northern Indiana was a potentially strong market during 1987 through 1990, yet Hayden was the lowest performer in the region with respect to sales of sleepers, reclining sofas, and sofas. In light of this evidence, Hayden's comparison of his sales percentages to Stultz's sales percentages does not even suggest, let alone tend to establish, that

Although 18 months post-treatment is recommended to assess clinical cure in HAT control programs due to anticipated increased drop-out rates from follow-up after 6 to 12 months, the 12-month evaluation was chosen as the primary endpoint in this study in order to maintain a robust data set for the primary analysis.

Safety was assessed through the end of treatment evaluation and included adverse events, laboratory results, vital sign measurements, physical examinations, and use of

--------

The study was open-label, since pafuramidine is administered orally and pentamidine is administered intramuscularly. However, the sponsor was blinded to treatment assignments.

Statistical Methods {#sec017}
-------------------

The primary efficacy analysis, demonstrating the non-inferiority of pafuramidine to pentamidine for the combined rate of cure and probable cure, was conducted with an alpha equal to 0.048 and non-inferiority margin (ie, delta) of 0.15. The comparison was made with a 1-sided 97.6% confidence interval (CI) for the treatment difference in parasitological cure rate. The normal approximation to the binomial distribution with continuity correction was used to construct the CI. The primary data set for efficacyanalysis was the per-protocol data set.

The efficacy analysis was carried out for the per-protocol data set (primary analysis), the intention-to-treat (ITT) data set, and the modified ITT (mITT) data set (supportive analyses). The per-protocol data set was defined as patients who received a minimum of 7 days of pafuramidine or five injections of pentamidine and who attended the test of cure assessment at Month 12 or reached an efficacy endpoint (death, non-response, or relapse) at an earlier time. Patients without lumbar puncture at Month 12 were included and their outcome was assessed based on clinical signs and symptoms and parasitological findings from any body fluid examined.

The mITT data set consisted of all patients who received the minimum amount of randomized study drug (7 or 5 days) and for


there was a problem in that it is extremely difficult to manufacture the cylindrical rollers or balls 114 with the required precision and uniformity.
Second, since the X-stage 101 and the Y-stage 102 are respectively supported by the cylindrical rollers or balls 114, the X-stage 101 and the Y-stage 102 are supported at a large number of points. As a result, there was a problem in that it is difficult to accurately move the X-stage 101 and the Y-stage 102 on a plane without play, particularly because of the nonuniform dimensions of the cylindrical rollers or balls 114 introduced due to the manufacturing error. Of course, it is conceivable to make the cylindrical rollers or balls 114 from a material that has a slight resiliency so as to absorbnull, null,

population of hybrid plants that are heterozygous for many gene loci. Conversely, a cross of two plants each heterozygous at a number of loci produces a population of hybrid plants that differ genetically and are not uniform. The resulting non-uniformity makes performance unpredictable.
The development of uniform corn plant hybrids requires the development of homozygous inbred plants, the crossing of these inbred plants, and the evaluation of the crosses. Pedigree breeding and recurrent selection are examples of breeding methods used to develop inbred plants from breeding populations. Those breeding methods combine the genetic backgrounds from two or more inbred plants or various other broad-based sources into breeding pools from which new inbred plants are developed by selfing and selection of desired phenotypes. The new inbreds are crossed with otherto the sustained presence of the device (Heiduschka and Thanos, [@B20]; Turner et al., [@B47]; Frampton et al., [@B12]). These limitations ultimately lead to an increase in electrode impedance, which in turn affects device performance. Thus, to reduce the reactive response to implanted devices, considerable efforts have been made to improve the biocompatibility of neural prostheses, including modifications of the electrode material, electrode shape, and implantation techniques (Lawrence et al., [@B31]; Szarowski et al., [@B46]; George et al., [@B15]), application of drugs to minimize reactive gliosis (Retterer et al., [@B41]; Winter et al., [@B50]; Jhaveri et al., [@B25]), and application of electrode coatings such as hydrogels (Winter et al., [@B50]; Jun et al., [@B26]; Jhaveri et al., [@B25]), layer-by-layer films (He and Bellamkonda, [@B18]; He et al., [@B19];

Cells were cultured in the presence of samples (*N* = 3 for each sample) for 2 weeks and then analyzed by the MTT cell viability assay following the manufacturer\'s instructions. Data was collected using a Versamax UV-visible micro-plate reader with measurements performed in triplicate. Pooled data from each repetition was analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA; α = 0.01). Pair-wise comparisons were performed using the Holm--Sidak method (α = 0.05).

Measurement of eluted NGF using elisa
-------------------------------------

For NGF elution experiments, sterile PEGPCL precursor solution was added to lyophilized NGF (2.5 S, Promega, Madison, WI, USA) attheir ability to exhibit a neuronal phenotype including neurite extensions upon exposure to NGF, and retract neurites after NGF is withdrawn from the culture media. In the absence of NGF, PC12 cells maintain a rounded morphology with few neurite extensions. Cells were cultured at 1 × 10^4^ cells/cm^2^ in 24-well plates overnight. Electrode arrays coated with composites containing 5 wt% BSA or 1 μg NGF/μL in the hydrogel phase were attached to the side walls of wells (one electrode array/well, triplicate for each sample; Note that cells do not contact the composite coatings directly; Figure [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}G). Cells were cultured for 2 weeks with medium exchanged every 2--3 days. Samples were compared to two controls, a positive control (*N* = 3) which received 50 ng/mL NGF added directly to the medium and a negative control (*N* = 3)


which received no NGF. Neurite extension was assessed using phase contrast microscopy (Olympus IX71) at 10× and 20×magnifications at day 7 and day 14 for all samples. Five pictures were randomly taken for each well. Neurite length (from the tip of each neurite branch to the soma) was measured using Image J software. Kruskal--Wallis one way ANOVA by ranks (α = 0.01, for non-parametric data) was applied to analyze pooled data from each repetition, whereas the Tukey test (α = 0.05) was performed for pair-wise comparisons.

Results
=======

Characterization of composite coating electrode adhesion
--------------------------------------------------------

Poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) hydrogels and PEGPCL hydrogel--PCL EFM composites adhere to electrode arrays over the short-term optical micrographs (Figures [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}A,B) and SEM (Figure [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}C). The interaction of PCL EFMs with PEGPCL hydrogels can be seen by the roughness of the coating surface nearvivo* implantation (Figures [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}H,I). These results suggest that the constraint created by PCL EFMs increases the persistence of the composite coating on the electrode surface and provide a first examination of the potential for clinical application. However, since the arachnoidea, which is substantially tougher than 1% wt/v agarose gel, provides the first barrier in real brain; more tests (i.e., *in vivo* composite-coated electrode implantation studies) are required to validate coating resistance to implantation forces.

Biocompatibility of composite electrode coating
-----------------------------------------------

Poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) hydrogel--PCL EFM composite electrode coatings did not demonstrate evident toxicity in a PC12 cell culture model. An MTT assay (Figure [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}) indicated that negative control samples (PC12 cells cultured without exposure to composites or composite electrode coatings) demonstrate no significant difference in cell number compared with samples exposed to


PEGPCL hydrogel--PCL EFM composite coatings displayed significantly longer electrode adhesion \[over 9 months in PBS bath immersion tests (Figure [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}F) and over 1 month in tissue phantom tests (Figure [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}G)\]. We also observed that coating regions not covered by EFMs (i.e., PEGPCL hydrogel only) degraded much more rapidly than regions covered by PCL EFMs (Figures [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}E,F). These results suggest that PCL EFMs physically constrain the hydrogel bolus and increase the water diffusion barrier, thereby significantly reducing hydrogel degradation and improving coating adhesion duration. It is thus possible that adhesion duration of PEGPCL hydrogel--PCL EFM composite electrode coatings could be controlled by applying EFMs of different shapes and sizes. Apart from adhesion, composite coatings were also capable of resisting implantation forces, as evidenced by insertion and removal tests incomprised of biocompatible materials, PEGPCL, and PCL, which have been extensively used in the clinic without evident cytotoxicity (Holland et al., [@B21]). Also, these biomaterials displayed NGF release durations for over 25 days (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}), near our target of 4 weeks, demonstrating their potential for future *in vivo* applications. Since NGF release profiles from composite materials are closely related to the area of PEGPCL hydrogel covered by EFMs; longer release duration can easily be obtained by changing the size and thickness of EFMs or by applying patterning techniques (e.g., photolithography) to reduce the exposed hydrogel area. NGF was eluted from composite materials at a higher concentration than from PEGPCL hydrogel boluses at each time point, especially in the first week. This indicates slower diffusion rates and degradation profiles,

People found flouting social distancing guidelines

Ensuring social distancing in the city to prevent the spread of coronavirus is getting tough due to the reluctance of common people.

Visiting a kitchen market at Shanirakhra, this correspondent found a huge number of people flouting the guidelines on social distancing there.

Although most of them were found wearing masks, they were also seen gathering in front of the shops without maintaining the required distance of 1 metre or so thought to be safe for preventing transmission of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus.Talking to many people and shopkeepers, our correspondent encountered their callous attitude towards maintaining social distancing.

Though the government is regularly urging people to stay alert and always maintain social distancing, they

www.postgresintl.comAbrogation of second-set rejection with cyclosporine.
Cyclosporine was evaluated for its ability to delay or prevent accelerated rejection in a model of the second-set immune response. Lewis rats sensitized by LBN skin grafts or subcutaneous heart fragments experienced accelerated rejection of heterotopic, vascularized LBN hearts with a mean survival time (MST) of approximately 5 days versus MST of 9.5 days for primary grafts. A short course of cyclosporine (10 mg/kg/day for 10 days) significantly prolonged graft survival in presensitized hosts to approximately 12 days (P less than 0.01) as compared with the nontreated controls. Adjunctive splenectomy failed to further extend graft survival; MSTs were 12.0 and 5.7 days with and without cyclosporine, respectively. A comparable abrogation of second-set rejection was also achieved with a short course of antithymocyte serum

The SoyTEdb web interface is organized into functional sections. Each of the main navigation tabs (Figure [1A](#F1){ref-type="fig"}) provides a specific capability for retrieving information of TEs from the database or viewing the TEs in the context of either the genetic or genome sequence maps.

Sorting TEs in an ontological category
--------------------------------------

TEs can be retrieved based on their ontological classification. A graphical representation of the ontology is presented (Figure [1B](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). Clicking on a node retrievesmenus, which also allow a quick retrieval of all of the information available for a specific TE.

Searching sequence similarity using BLAST
-----------------------------------------

Because the structural variation and distribution patterns of TEs vary among classes and among families, a single annotation pipeline cannot satisfy all users with different interests. Thus, we did not intend to develop new tools or to integrate tools currently available (except for BLAST) for sequence comparison, editing and/or assembly in our database infrastructure. However, the SoyTEdb web provides the canonical web BLAST interface, which allows users handy and quick comparison of their sequences with the soybean TEs deposited in SoyTEdb.

Discussion
==========

We established SoyTEdb under the infrastructure of SoyBase and the Soybean Breeder\'s Toolbox \[[@B31]\]. As such, SoyTEdb represents the only TE database with components of integration with a


literature, these are usually interpreted in terms of and *o*-Ps. Such a distinction requires the identification of a specific electron, whose spin couples with the positron in a specific singlet or triplet configuration. On the contrary, complete electron indistinguishability is evident in materials and compounds exhibiting a single lifetime component (the simplest example being [$\text{Ps}^-$]{}). Furthermore, we note that a Ps-like component in the spatial (or momentum) part of the wavefunction describing a positron in matter does not necessarily imply the presence of different Ps states (for example, a delocalized Ps may be present as a single superposition of singlet/triplet states).

In this work we analyze in detail this problem, providing a theoretical framework in which electron indistinguishability can be introduced in a natural way, yet preserving the conceptmaterial $\hat{H}_b$ and an interaction potential acting between these two subsystems. Considering only Coulomb interactions and neglecting atomic nuclei, which are not involved in the annihilation process, we write $\hat{H}$ as:

$$\label{Hamiltonian0}
\begin{aligned}
\hat{H} &=  \hat{H}^{(0)}_\text{Ps}({ \bm{r}} _p,{ \bm{r}} _e) +  \hat{H}_b({ \bm{r}} _1,{ \bm{r}} _2,\cdots,{ \bm{r}} _N) + \sum_{i=1}^N \left[ \hat{V}_\text{C}({ \bm{r}} _e,{ \bm{r}} _i)-\hat{V}_\text{C}({ \bm{r}} _p,{ \bm{r}} _i)\right]\\
&\equiv\hat{H}^{(0)}_\text{Ps}({ \bm{r}} _p,{ \bm{r}} _e) +   \hat{H}_b({ \bm{r}} _1,{ \bm{r}} _2,\cdots,{ \bm{r}} _N) + \sum_{i=1}^N \hat{V}_\text{int}({ \bm{r}} _p,{ \bm{r}} _e,{ \bm{r}} _i)\\
\end{aligned}$$

where $\hat{V}_\text{C}({ \bm{r}} _x,{ \bm{r}} _y)$ is the Coulomb potential between the particles $x$ and $y$. In the following we will denote $p=({ \bm{r}} _p , \sigma_p)$ and $e=({ \bm{r}} _e , \sigma_e)$ the spin-spatial coordinates of the Ps positron and electron, respectively, while numbers refer to


is generally small compared to the range of variation of $\Psi_\text{TE}( R)$, which in practical cases extends well over the cavity size, we may assume $R_{pe}\sim R_{p1}\sim R_{e1} \sim r_p \equiv R $ and write $$\label{geometrical_approximation}
\Psi_\text{TE}( R _{pe})\Psi_\text{TE}( R _{p1})n(R_{e1}) \approx |\Psi_\text{TE}(R)|^2 n( R)$$ Given that $n(R)$ has a step behavior, it’s convenient to introduce the quantity ${P_\text{out}' }$: $${P_\text{out}' }\equiv 4\pi  \int_{R_c}^{R_c+\Delta} |\Psi_\text{TE}(R)|^2 R^2{\mathop{}\!d}R$$ which is the probability of finding the Ps center of mass in the interaction region outside $R_c$, in spherical coordinates. By using the same approximation to all annihilation contributions, and changing integration variables from $({ \bm{r}} _p , { \bm{r}} _i ,\cdots )$ to $({ \bm{R}} , { \bm{r}} _{pi} ,\cdots)$, Eqs. [(\[SAPThegAnnihilation\])]{} and [(\[SAPThegAnnihilation\_2\])]{} become: $$\label{SAPThegAnnihilation2}
\begin{aligned}
S&\approx\frac{\rho_e}{2}{P_\text{out}' }\int \psi( r _{pe} )\psi( rto Eqs. [(\[NOovercountedRATES\])]{} and of course can be interpreted as in Eqs. [(\[correct\_interpretation\])]{}. In this equivalent version of the TE model, the intrinsic relative contact density in the *surface* region, i.e. when Ps is in the outer shell of thickness $\Delta^\text{TE}$, can be obtained by taking $P_\text{out} = 1$ and turns out to be: $$k_\text{out}=1-\frac{k_0 }{\rho_e} A[\nu]$$ In the limit in which the probability of having an external electron at the positron position reaches the same value of free Ps (i.e. when $\rho_e \to k_0$) $k_\text{out}$ becomes: $$\label{approximation_TE}
\lim_{\rho_e\to k_0}k_\text{out}= 1-0.472 = 0.527$$ which is very close to the expectation value of the relative contact density of *one* electron in the negative ion [$\text{Ps}^-$]{}[@PsIon_Frolov]: $$\label{Ps_ion_contact_density}
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{k_0} {\left\langle  \text{Ps}^-  \right| } \hat{\delta} _{p1} {\left| \text{Ps}^-  \right\rangle } &= \frac{1}{k_0}\int |\phi_{\text{Ps}^-}({


$P_{\uparrow}({ \bm{r}} _p)=0$ and: $$\begin{aligned}
\lambda_t &= \lambda_{3\gamma} + \frac{1}{2}P_\text{out}\frac{\lambda_{2\gamma} + \lambda_{3\gamma}}{2}\\
&= (1- \frac{1}{2}P_\text{out} )\lambda_{3\gamma} + P_\text{out}\bar{\lambda}\\
\end{aligned}$$ which is just the result of Eq. [(\[final\_Orto\_app\_TE\])]{}. This suggests a simplified picture in which Ps can be considered as such in the internal cavity region, whereas it resembles a [$\text{Ps}^-$]{} when inside the interaction region in the external shell. As a final observation, we note that for lower electron density values, the range of the shielding effect will be wider and in particular for $\rho_e = \rho_0 \approx 0.3 k_0$ it is found that the intrinsic contact density vanishes in the *surface* region: $$\label{maxshielding}
k_\text{out}= \left.1- \frac{k_0 }{\rho_e} A[\nu]\right|_{\rho_e = \rho_0} = 0$$ so that Eqs. [(\[final\_Orto\_app\_TE\])]{} become identical to Eq. [(\[NOovercountedRATES\])]{}: $$\begin{aligned}
\left.\lambda_t\right|_{\rho_0} &= \left[1- P_\text{out}\right]\lambda_{3\gamma} +  P_\text{out}\bar{\lambda}\\
\left.\lambda_s\right|_{\rho_0}  &= \left[1- P_\text{out}\right]\lambda_{2\gamma} + in a region characterized by low values of contact density and cavity size. Here, Ps wavefunction has a high overlap with surrounding electrons, so that its description as a distinct system is blurry. This is not surprising, given that in such ionic compounds the presence of internal pores or cavity is not expected. We note also that the other data showing a poor agreement with our model are mostly obtained by a free PALS analysis, that is, without any constraint on the intensities ratio. For example, 4 of the 6 points lying in the down-right corner of Fig. [\[fig:tau\_kr\_new\_01\]]{} (near the blue curve) present a / intensity ratio $I_1/I_3 \gtrsim 0.5 > 1/3$. Evidently, when free positrons annihilate in the bulk with a lifetime comparable to that of ,

could tell. My examination turned to my feet. My fears were
confirmed there too! They were also hooves now.

When I placed these on the metal floor, the
gynoids pulled me to stand, holding my arms until I gained my
balance on my hooves. The hooves arched my feet to the extreme,
like I was standing on just my toes, as if I were wearing ballet
boots, en-pointe, forcing me to bend my knees. The stretching of
my calf muscles caused too much pain if I tried to straighten
them. I felt something else on the back of my legs. A tickling
sensation, as if hair was brushing my skin with my slightest
movements. They couldn't have?

I had a long tail!

Just standing between the gynoids, I tried to
remember what had happened.

As I said, it was late, maybe onethe ring would
have been enough to create maddening sensations, but never enough
to push me over the top. It was not enough. Attached to the ring
was a loud bell on two links.

The sheer size of the breasts I'd illustrated
and the disproportionate aureoles and nipples on them had not
been enough for my over active fantasies either. These fantasizes
had made me quite rich, they sold my work, now I was living them
and they were no longer any fun. My aureoles each bore a quarter
inch thick, three inch ring fitted with a bell identical to the
one that bumped the tops of my thighs. My thumb sized nipples
were not exempted from fantasy fulfillment either.

My nipples had been fitted with truncated cones
of thin metal rods. A thin ring at the base passed through the
base


and in my crotch. These demanded my attention
and further demanded satisfaction, a satisfaction that I could
not achieve. Yes, I had been turned into a real life
manifestation of my ultimate of ultimate fantasies.

As the sky grew brighter and there were many
more cars on the road, I carefully made my way through the brush
then into the wooded patch beside the roadway. Very luckily, I
came upon a tiny stream. The water looked clear and when I knelt
then laid down, it smelled OK. If it was tainted, what difference
would there be? I'd die of thirst if I did not have water.

I did manage some degree of comfort lying on
one side, but did not sleep more than a few hours. Having driven
that road, it was well traveled during the day and I couldhad to admit that she had
seen that too. They were a real part of the ponygirl in the
garage. The hooves were not coming off of her limbs.

"So what are you going to do, keep her as
a pet?"

"Despite our differences, Bob never hurt
me, nor did he do one single thing to ever, intentionally cause
me real pain, physical or mental, Donna." Their eyes met.
Donna sensed that her sister was dead serious and kept silent.

"Look, I'm as kinky as we come, no denying
that. I've been tied up, I've been spanked, I've even been
whipped," Kinetta paused and giggled. "Maybe hard to
understand, but being whipped can be a real turn on. I
don't expect you to understand."

Latest figures on European-wide campylobacter rates suggest human infections have stabilised for the first time in five years.

But the bug remained the most commonly reported cause of food poisoning, with more than double the infection rates of the next zoological illness, salmonella, according to the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa).

It said there were 214,779 cases of campylobacter in humans in 2013, equating to 64.8 for every 100,000 people.

The report noted that, while 43% of cases resulted in hospitalisation, there was comparatively low mortality, at 0.5% – or 56 deaths.

In contrast, there were 84,000 cases of salmonella causing 59 deaths.

Testing broilers for campylobacter found 31.4% positives. However, Efsa suggested this figure may be an underestimate, because the majority of samples were taken in the Netherlands and

===============

Elastography is a medical imaging modality intended to map the elastic properties of soft tissues for diagnostic purposes that has recently been undergoing heavy development. It combines an imaging principle, that is, either ultrasonic or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with algorithms to reconstruct the stiffness maps from the raw shear wave propagation data \[[@B1-sensors-20-02379],[@B2-sensors-20-02379],[@B3-sensors-20-02379],[@B4-sensors-20-02379]\]. The references are more detailed on ultrasound elastography, given the variety of techniques and the author's background, but the conclusions are fully applicable to magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). It follows that only dynamic or shear wave methods will be reviewed since strain elastography merely delivers relative deformability as the stress is unknown. However, in static ultrasonic methods, this current dependency of the stiffness on the probe pressure can become an opportunity insteadthe formation of a fibrous scaffold. The components are organized hierarchically down to the macromolecular level, according to the morphology and function of the tissue they form. The primary constituent of the ECM is a crosslinked network of collagen and elastin, which is embedded within a gelatinous matrix of proteoglycans (PGs). This matrix is responsible for resisting and transmitting mechanical loads and regulating the hydrostatic pressure and fluid flow \[[@B13-sensors-20-02379]\]. For illustrative purposes, the reader is referred to [Figure 1](#sensors-20-02379-f001){ref-type="fig"}, where the remodeling process of cervical ECM during pregnancy is graphically described.

All the elements that compose the ECM have a load-bearing role in the mechanical response, emphasizing the importance of the content and distribution of collagen fibers in the shear modulus of the tissue. During the synthesis of


internal shear \[[@B24-sensors-20-02379],[@B25-sensors-20-02379]\]. The collagenous matrix varies greatly depending on the organ and its state. For instance, breast tissue has a collagen content of 5--10% \[[@B26-sensors-20-02379],[@B27-sensors-20-02379]\], similarly to the liver \[[@B28-sensors-20-02379],[@B29-sensors-20-02379]\]. The collagen content is higher in the cervix and prostate tissues: around 60% for the cervix \[[@B30-sensors-20-02379],[@B31-sensors-20-02379],[@B32-sensors-20-02379]\], and similar content for the prostate can be inferred from qualitative analysis \[[@B33-sensors-20-02379]\].

Elastin fibers are randomly distributed in the ECM, loosely interconnecting collagen fibers \[[@B34-sensors-20-02379]\]. During their formation elastin fibers are prestressed, and once they are assembled they discharge stress, stretching and curling the attached collagen fibers \[[@B35-sensors-20-02379],[@B36-sensors-20-02379]\]. They are used as a support in the mechanical response of collagen, operating as springs that recoil the structure to its initial state, allowing it to withstand repeated load cycles without reachingof energy, reflecting the existence of hysteretic effects. At the same time, the strain evolution is slowed to allow the viscous flow to settle. Thus, the duration and rate of loading define the dynamics of the tissue strain. Without this characteristic, the stress during physiological activities would be harmful to the active structure \[[@B68-sensors-20-02379]\].

One of the key features of viscoelastic tissues comes from the physics of wave propagation, where the dispersion is defined as a compound expression of the poroelastic and microstructural media governed by the complex fibrous multiscale microstructure of the stroma \[[@B69-sensors-20-02379],[@B70-sensors-20-02379],[@B71-sensors-20-02379],[@B72-sensors-20-02379]\]. It is also known that the amplitude and intensity of waves decays proportionally to the distance traveled. Additionally, in a highly viscous environment, where the microvasculature and hemodynamics play an important role, it is
