Q:

Migration to Content Builder from Classic Content

I mainly use an AMPScript email to create&send emails using Triggered Send. The AMPScript email (script) loads the required information from content html files and values from the Data Extensions depending on the REST API request sent to the associated Triggered Send.
I have a lot of content html files and not sure where to start to migrate all this stuff. I have a main html content that works as a template. I have different footers depending on different conditions. And different content depending on the purpose of the emails. Different languages as well.
For the classic content tool I was using a php library to update contents and data extensions from our server. Is there anything similar to that library in Content Builder?.Q:

"cf. with" vs "cf."?

The abbreviation cf. according to Wikipedia should be read as compare. Which, therefore, of the following would be a more correct statement:

1) The properties of the electric field are given below (cf. with the magnetic field).
2)The properties of the electric field are given below (cf. the magnetic field).

A:

Although cf. has the sense of compare, it is a formulaic expression and not a drop-in replacement for compare.
Several references clarify this by expanding the meaning to "compare with" - e.g. wiktionary and Oxford Dictionaries.
Usage guides with examples also show cf. followed immediately by the reference. Examples: your wikipedia link (cf. Vehicle Code section 4321 ...) and APA style  (cf. Zeller & Williams, 2007).

Which, therefore, of the following would be a more correct statement ...

Joint AVMA-FVE Statement: The Roles of Veterinarians in Ensuring Good Animal Welfare
Joint AVMA-FVE Statement: Responsible andGlobal Monitoring Agent position has developed into a more proactive rather than a simple surveillance role, with oversight of the position description assigned to the CIVA on its establishment in 2007. The current position description, now titled Director of International Affairs (DIA) as approved by the EB in November 2011.

Dr. James Nave, AVMA Past President, served as the Global Monitoring Agent for the first six-year term (2001-2007) and was reappointed by the EB to a second six-year term. Dr. Nave is not eligible for reappointment as DIA when his term ends in 2013.

The DIA chairs the CIVA and provides a report back to the EB after each meeting. The EB reviews said reports typically at its November and April meetings.

AVMA Staff Coordinator for International Affairs

With EB acceptance of


this position has continued serving as primary staff consult to the Council on Research (COR) and Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG), and as secondary staff consultant to the COE and American Board of Veterinary Specialties (ABVS). In 2011, 35% of the current Staff Coordinator's time was spent on international activities (includes CIVA); this is reflected in the salary and benefits expenses within the E&R Division. In 2012, this will be increased to 50%, because a new Assistant Director position was created within the E&R Division to assume, among other things, primary staff responsibility for COR and secondary responsibility for ECFVG. It is anticipated that this new position will be filled in the 4th quarter of 2011. Additional time spent on international activities will allow the currentis held in May of each year at OIE Headquarters in Paris, France. Throughout the year, this liaison coordinates AVMA input to the USDA (US Delegate to the OIE) from AVMA entities on revisions and additions to the OIE Terrestrial and Aquatic Animal Health Codes and Diagnostic Manuals. Comments from the AVMA, which are received from a number of entities staffed within the Education &Research, Scientific Activities, and Animal Welfare Divisions, are highly valued by the USDA and help ensure the US veterinary profession's voice is heard on the international stage. These comments are published online at www.avma.org/issues/animal_welfare/international_issues.asp.

Unrestricted expenses include:
Salary and benefits for ECFVG program staff (does not include salary or other costs for IT, business, or legal support, etc.)
Twice yearly ECFVG meetings

Restricted ECFVG program income and expenses are referred collectively as the Quality Assurance Program (QAP).

Quality Assurance Program income is generated from the quality assurance fee ($725/candidate) paid by each candidate on initial registration into the certification program; expenses are restricted to those activities that assure quality of ECFVG program steps, including:

Development and maintenance of the Clinical Proficiency Examination (CPE)

AVMA Objective—The objective of the Association shall be to advance the science and art of veterinary medicine, including its relationship to public health, biological science, and agriculture.

Does the mission/objective of the international entity integrate with the current AVMA Strategic Plan (goals and objectives)? In other words, will AVMA's membership in/involvement with the international entity help the AVMA achieve one or more of its critical goals or objectives as defined in the Strategic Plan?

Does membership in/interaction with the international entity unnecessarily duplicate ongoing efforts of the Association?

Are other AVMA affiliate organizations members of the international entity? If so, does AVMA membership add value to the international entity above that of the affiliate organization? If not, would an affiliate group be better suited for membershipfrom the AVMA Executive Board, Council on Education (COE), and the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), has now met four times (October 2007, February and October 2008, and February 2009). During the first two meetings, CIVA members and invited representatives from the World Veterinary Association (WVA), Department of Defense Veterinary Service (DoD/VS), and US Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service/International Services (USDA/APHIS/IS) reviewed the Association's history of involvement in global issues. This history, dating back to the 1990s, centered initially on accreditation of veterinary education at international institutions in accordance with the rigorous standards established by the AVMA Council on Education for US and Canadian schools, as well as building relationships with other veterinary associations. In 2001, the AVMA Executive Board also approved creation

If budget projections exceed 105% of the Executive Board travel line item, mandatory review and potential action by the Executive Board is required.

Mode of Travel

All air travel funded by the AVMA, including international, shall be booked at the coach class rate. Higher than coach class rate may be used only when emergency travel status exists and/or booking at the coach class rate is not available. Prior approval should be sought and a written explanation of the higher than coach class booking must accompany the traveler's expense report form. Whenever possible, individuals traveling on AVMA business should use US-based air carriers.

All persons traveling byclass air rate plus associated costs of traveling from residence to airport, airport to point of destination and return. When traveling via POA, the cost of meals, tolls, and lodging shall be included in determining not-to-exceed coach class air travel. Mileage reimbursement shall conform to the standard mileage allowance permitted by the Internal Revenue Service.

Taxi, Buses, Limousine, and Other Carriers

Public carriers may be used as necessary to conduct the business of the organization. Public carriers may be used from residence to airport when the use of public carriers is more economical than the use of a POA. At a traveler's discretion, public carriers should be chosen that are both reasonable and economical.

Intra-city transport is permissible when deemed necessary to conduct the business of the organization. Receipts for all


listed above

Ability to communicate with clients, colleagues, and staff effectively.

Ability to work within the diverse disciplines that comprise veterinary medicine in accordance with appropriate professional codes of ethics and conduct

Adequate knowledge of veterinary business operations, resource management, personnel management, and finances.

Adequate knowledge of the role of research in furthering the practice of veterinary medicine and the need for life-long learning to ensure currency of knowledge and skills.

The accreditation of veterinary education is essential to ensure educational programs meet high standards and strive for continuous quality improvement. Accreditation is best accomplished through a process of peer review that is independent, objective, and impartial. The standards of accreditation must be dynamic and consistently applied to ensure they meet the changing needs of society.

The findings were included in a report released Monday by the Independent Commission of Inquiry.

The commission, established by the government in July 2018, says it was “tasked to investigate allegations of human rights violations and related issues” after terrorist attacks in 2017 by a Rohingya insurgent group in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

The Myanmar government responded to the attacks with a military-led crackdown against the insurgent group, known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army.

More than 730,000 Rohingya fled Rakhine state to neighboring Bangladesh during the weekslong crackdown that was widely condemned internationally.

FILE - Rohingya refugees are seen gathered for a


ceremony to mark the second anniversary of their flight from Myanmar, at the Kutupalong refugee camp in Ukhia, Bnagladesh, Aug. 25, 2019.

The United Nations said mass rapes and murders were carried out “with genocidal intent.” Hundreds of villages and thousands of homes were also burned to the ground during the crackdown.

The commission said there were “reasonable grounds” to conclude that government security forces were among the “multiple actors” who committed possible war crimes and serious human rights violations during the campaign. “

The killing of innocent villagers and destruction of their homes were committed by some members of Myanmar’s security forces through disproportionate use of force during the internal armed conflict,” the commission said.

Let’s put this another way. If you’ve worked on a large and heavily-documented system, how often were your documents read? I mean REALLY? Did you deliver value, or did you make sure you followed the process? Did you deliver quality1, or did you ensure the checklist for the project’s “quality gate” was met?

I’d love any of our readers to chip in with more...

]]>We’ve all heard of code smells right? These are the tell-tale signs that things aren’t right. I haven’t heard anyone talkingof a lack of capability as much as anything. You need to change your ops procedures from “click through the wizard” to “write a shell script” for everything they do. Once you have the shell scripts to do everything, from provisioning and configuring infrastructure to application deployment your task to automate end-to-end becomes a heck of a lot easier. There are plenty of tools out there that will process a YAML file full of bash commands.

Sometimes I find the inability to deploy automatically is a key factor in release constipation. The inability to consistently deploy flags releases as risky, and hence something to be avoided. Releases should be seen as low-risk and something to be embraced. You get this from automation, and automated quality control.

Planned Production Downtime

This follows


against.

What could possibly go right with this? Every build you’re running needs to be on a clean stack so you know you haven’t got cross-contamination from anyone else’s changes.

If different testers are running different sets of tests concurrently on the same environment how can you be sure that they’re not affecting each other? (A fix for that is to automate your test suite and run it as part of your release pipeline).

Quality depends on repeatability. You need isolation of your environments to achieve this. If you have no isolation your process smells.

Test Outcome Reports

It’s not unusual for system integrators to agree to writing a report when they “deliver code” that describes the quality of it. What’s the point? If you’ve set up your CI properly you should alwayshave 100% of tests passing, or else you’re not protecting your branches properly. You should also be setting minimum coverage requirements on the branches as well. I can give you the stats on quality after every build I do. Why write this down in a report?

The answer, sadly, is that test reports are a process smell of testing-as-an-event. If you have decent CI and automated results available from every build you don’t need to report on quality, you enforce it.

The above points are by no means exhaustive and are intended as a guide to get you thinking about the issue of process smells. What is there in your organization that is a symptom of underlying process stinkers? Contact us via the website or add to the comments below


put your turf down and your plants in. Then you tend to it regularly. You prune and weed, add a little, remove a little. Optimise. Nurture.

I then get clients to understand that manual processes undermine their ability to deliver. This is a biggy. If you do anything manually, no matter how well you document the steps, you always get different results. Eventually, always. Software quality depends on repeatability. Manual processes are not guaranteed repeatable. Manual processes are therefore the enemy of quality.

More than this. Manual processes don’t scale. If it takes me 20 hours this week to deploy something, it will take me 20 hours next week. If I need 10 deployments next week it will take 200 hours (or even more as everyone dies of boredom andQ:

What are the differences and similarities between MVC and MVVM?

What is the difference between MVC and MVVM?

I am new in Asp.Net MVC pattern. I just have few questions related to MVC and MVVM

What issues do these patterns address?
How are they similar?
How are they different?

A:

in ASP.NET MVC the request comes in from the web server and is handled directly by the Controller. The Controller determines the appropriate View and populates it with Models. The Controller then releases these instances to the underlying system which renders a result to the client. You can see that the Controller is first and last to act.
In MVVM, the UI (the View), faces the user and takes user input directly. Within the View, Commands within the ViewModel (which is the DataContext


of the View) are triggered by this activity. Control flows to the ViewModel which interprets what the View has sent it and prepares its Models. After control flows back to the View it updates itself according to changes in the Models. If a new View is required, the ViewModel communicates this with the NavigationService (or whatever method of navigation your application uses), which is the purview of the Window or Frame--UI components. You can see that the ViewModel isn't first and last to act; the View plays a much greater role than in MVC.
As far as choosing which one is best, I would tend to be guided by tooling support.

Many young NASCAR followers, who enjoy NASCAR amazing machines and the sport's competitive nature, will watch some upcoming key races,Richard Danner was joined by the heads of the Yale and Harvard law libraries for a discussion on the function and future of the modern law library, followed by a ceremony and reception.

Celebrating two remarkable spaces
Attendees explored the renovated Law Library, named in honor of J. Michael Goodson '66, which includes a new façade, larger windows in the reading room and mezzanine, and seating arrangements that take advantage of the two-story glass window walls that bathe the space in natural light. They also took note of the easy access to library, computing, web, and media services in the main “reading room.”

That our alumni chose to support the school this tells me that they not only remember how special this community is, but that they’re committed to keeping it that way.”

Why does this matter? Pressure is one of Luke Rockhold’s greatest assets and one of Yoel Romero’s biggest weaknesses. The thought of being made to work and move constantly, on someone else’s terms, for twenty five minutes must have Romero sweating bullets. He prefers to slink around the cage like a big cat between meals, until he decides—almost on a whim—that it’s time to make a run at ending the fight.

Word out of Columbus suggests that Nathan Horton will be out of the lineup for the Blue Jackets' game against the Stars on Wednesday. In and of itself, that's hardly news. The big winger has been hampered with injuries all season. He's missed 40 games so far, four of them as a result of a lower-body issue that currently has him on the sidelines.

But here's the thing: Wednesday's game in Dallas is something out of the ordinary. It's the game that had to be suspended and rescheduled after the heart scare suffered by Rich Peverley of the

title: Numerical comparison of a constrained path ensemble and a driven quasisteady state
---

\[intro\]Introduction
=====================

Equilibrium thermal systems obey the principle of detailed balance [@vanKampen], a physical law concerning the rates of a system’s microscopic dynamical processes, which can ultimately be traced to the statistics of the heat bath that supplies noise to the system. A class of far-from-equilibrium system, that shares the Hamiltonian of an equilibrium system, can be defined by a subset of the equilibrium ensemble of phase-space trajectories, conditioned by a finite flux [@Evans04; @Evans05; @Jack10; @Chetrite13]. That is to say, those members of the equilibrium ensemble of systems, which exhibit amotion of the many deterministic degrees of freedom). This model allows us to investigate a phase-space with non-trivial momenta as well as positional coordinates.

Because the model has continuous degrees of freedom, the “microstates" that we analyse are, by necessity, not strictly single states, but finite regions of phase space, which we define in two different ways. In the first test (section \[test1\]), we assume that momentum degrees of freedom are well thermalized and therefore irrelevant, while positional degrees of freedom make distinct transitions between minima of a potential that play the role of microstates. In the second test (section \[test2\]), we divide phase space into a grid of coarse-grained “microstates" characterised by both positional and momentum coordinates, and study transitions between the cells of that grid. Comparing the two characterisations


of the same system — with and without regard of momenta — reveals some important issues concerning the statistical mechanics of deterministic systems in non-equilibrium environments.

The model
=========

The model, in which we measure transition rates for comparison with the predictions for constrained ensembles, is depicted in Fig. \[model\]. It consists of a one-dimensional chain of simple rotors. The dynamical variables are the angles $\theta_i$ of the rotors (each labelled by its index $i$) relative to some overall reference direction, and their angular momenta $I\dot{\theta}_i$ where the moment of inertia $I$ will henceforth be set to unity without loss of generality. Nearest neighbours in the chain apply equal and opposite torques to each other, thus exactly conserving angular momentum.

Unlike Ref. [@Evans10], in which only the zero-mass, over-damped regime with added noise wasstudied, here we investigate the deterministic model in which the torques are purely conservative, being the negative gradient of the potential $U(\Delta\theta)=-\cos(\Delta\theta)-\cos(4\Delta\theta)$ shown in Fig. \[UFig\]. This symmetric function of the angular difference between the rotors, $\Delta\theta_i \equiv \theta_{i+1}-\theta_i$, has four wells, allowing us to measure and compare the transition rates between various states, approximating microstates.

The equations of motion are $$\label{EOM}
    \frac{\partial^2 \theta_i}{\partial t^2} = U'(\Delta\theta_i)-U'(\Delta\theta_{i-1}),$$ with $U'$ being the derivative of the function $U$. The boundary conditions are periodic, and the equations of motion are numerically time-stepped using the Velocity Verlet algorithm [@VelVerlet], that approximately conserves energy in the absence of external work. The time step used was $10^{-3}$, as this was found to be sufficiently small to obtain data that were independent of time


because the system heated up more quickly at higher shear rate, therefore spending less time in the chosen energy interval.

We choose to characterize the macrostates by their potential energy density because it is well defined, whereas kinetic energy density in the sheared periodic system depends on system size and rest frame. We chose as low an energy as possible, whilst still achieving statistically significant counting, in order to observe non-trivial variations in transition rates, controlled by an interplay between interactions and driving (rather than just a shear-dominated high-temperature regime).

To check that our protocol truly yielded quasi-steady-state results that are independent of initial conditions, we performed detailed comparisons at $\dot{\gamma}=0.4$, $1$, $1.6$ and $2$. For each of these shear rates, we performed a further set of 250 simulations withnoisy non-equilibrium reservoir, and driven by it. This situation is directly analogous to an equilibrium system, for which the [*microstate*]{} (rather than the motion) must be uncorrelated with its surroundings in order for Boltzmann’s law to hold and the reservoir to be regarded as weakly coupled. Subject to the assumption of uncorrelated dynamics, then, we regard each gap as an independent system, with phase-space coordinates $(\Delta\theta,\Delta\dot{\theta})$, for which we can test the statistical laws stated in section \[intro\].

\[test1\]Test 1: Transition rates between potential wells
---------------------------------------------------------

If transitions between potential wells are rare on the time-scale of temporal correlations in $\Delta\dot{\theta}$ (i.e. the gap “forgets" its value of $\Delta\dot{\theta}$ between transitions in $\Delta\theta$), then momenta can be neglected, and potential wells can be regarded as effective microstates, labelled $a$, $b$, $c$ and $d$


natriuretic peptide plasma levels, and pulse oximetry were also evaluated. Of 54 patients with chronic heart failure, 50 (93%) exhibited vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D serum levels <50 nmol/L) or elevation of parathormone (serum levels >65 pg/mL). These two parameters were inversely correlated. In multivariate analyses including age, gender, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathormone, pulse oximetry, cardiothoracic ratio, calcium, phosphorus, glomerular filtration rate, albumin, creatine kinase, end-diastolic diameter and fractional shortening of the systemic ventricle, and ratio of early diastolic transmitral flow velocity to mitral annular velosity, only the parathormone serum levels (P < .01) remained independently associated with brain natriuretic peptide plasma levels. Moreover, in multivariate analyses including the same variables minus parathormone serum levels, both pulse oximetry (P < .01) and glomerular filtration rate (P < .01) remainedindependently associated with parathormone levels. Vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism are common in patients with congenital heart diseases and heart failure. Serum parathormone and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels correlated with several clinical heart failure markers, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may deteriorate heart function in congenital heart disease patients.

Discussion {#S004}
==========

The aim of the study was to reassess the factor structure of the EDSIS and AESED in a single and stable diagnosis cohort of carers. The size of the sample enables robust reassessment of scales, including possible item exclusion and factor structure examination for overall and subscale scores. Results from the CFA provide support for the validity of the existing four-factor structure for the EDSIS and the five-factor structure for the AESED for carers of a severe and enduring AN patient group. Multiple group CFA examined the stability of these factor structures across primary and secondary carers. Standards of weak invariance for the EDSIS and strict invariance for the AESED were achieved by supporting the robustness of the factor structure and the internal reliability for the itemsvalid and reliable measures which are sensitive to change are crucial. There is evidence to suggest that elements of caregiving are modifiable following skills-based carer interventions with improved sufferer outcomes (Goddard, MacDonald, & Treasure, [@CIT0007]) and the results of this study provide further validation of two measures as tools to assess these elements in a homogenous sample of carers of someone admitted for inpatient care with AN. From a clinical perspective, well-validated tools to assess caregiving enable robust assessment of the specific difficulties faced by ED carers and results from this study and those of Coomber and King ([@CIT0004]), suggest that specific difficulties may be dependent on illness presentation and duration. This is important for caregiving interventions targeting relevant behaviours. We hope that this research will pave the

Shenzhen (China) (AFP) - Thousands of Chinese military personnel waving red flags paraded at a sports stadium in a city across the border from Hong Kong on Thursday, an AFP reporter witnessed.

Armoured vehicles were also seen inside the stadium in Shenzhen, with the event taking place as concerns build that China may intervene to end 10 weeks of unrest in Hong Kong.

State-run media reported this week that the elements of the People's Armed Police (PAP), which is under the command of the Central Military Commission, were assembling in Shenzhen.

Some of the personnel inside the stadium on Thursday had armed police insignias on their camouflage fatigues, according to the AFP reporter.

The security forces could be seen moving in formation inside the stadium, and occasionally running, while others rode aroundPPARgamma transcriptional activity. Co-transfection of opossum kidney cells with dominant negative mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase significantly depressed basal PPARgamma transcriptional activity but had no effect on that induced by either insulin or C-peptide. Both insulin- and C-peptide-stimulated PPARgamma transcriptional activity were attenuated by wortmannin and by expression of a dominant negative phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase p85 regulatory subunit. In addition PI 3-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of PPARgamma was observed after stimulation by C-peptide or insulin. C-peptide effects but not insulin on PPARgamma transcriptional activity were abolished by pertussis toxin pretreatment. Finally both C-peptide and insulin positively control the expression of the PPARgamma-regulated CD36 scavenger receptor in human THP-1 monocytes. We concluded that insulin and C-peptide can stimulate PPARgamma activity in a ligand-independent fashion and that this effect is mediated by PI

This is a motion by a union, pursuant to Rule 65, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C.A., for a preliminary injunction to compel an employer to comply with an arbitration award reinstating *215 an employee discharged for violation of a company rule prohibiting gambling. The employee had been convicted for the knowing possession of policy slips upon the employer's premises during working hours. The


main action seeks permanent enforcement of the award together with damages. Jurisdiction is grounded on the Labor-Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 185, and the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.A. § 9.
Injunctive relief before trial on the merits should be granted most sparingly. A strong showing of a reasonable probability of success in the main action and irreparable injury are indispensable prerequisites to the granting of such a drastic remedy. This is especially so where, as here, a preliminary injunction would not merely preserve the status quo pendente lite, but grant the party seeking it a substantial part of the ultimate relief obtainable after a successful trial. Securities and Exchange Commission v. Capital Gains Research Bureau, Inc., Docket No. 26942 (2 Cir., December 18, 1961); Speedry Products,Inc. v. Dri Mark Products, Inc., 271 F. 2d 646, 648 (2 Cir. 1959). The court must, therefore, appraise the merits of this controversy to determine whether the union is entitled to the extraordinary equitable relief it seeks.
There is no dispute that a company rule prohibited gambling on the employer's premises under penalty of immediate discharge. Admittedly, the employee was discharged for violation of that rule following his indictment, prosecution, and conviction in the County Court of Westchester County for knowing possession of policy slips on the employer's premises during working hours. The union challenged "the propriety" of the employee's discharge, and after exhaustion of grievance procedures under a collective bargaining agreement, the parties submitted the dispute to arbitration.
Following hearings, the arbitrator found that the employee had knowingly


violated the plant rule against gambling and as a result had been convicted of a crime. Nevertheless, and despite the absence of evidence indicating any other reason for the discharge, the arbitrator concluded that the employee had been discharged without just cause. As he saw it, the employee's misconduct called for disciplinary action, but discharge was too harsh a penalty in view of the hardship inflicted on the employee's wife and four children, his seniority, good record, punishment by the authorities, and the lack of any disciplinary action against four other employees whom the arbitrator, but not the authorities, felt were guilty of the same offense. Accordingly, he directed the company to reinstate the employee without back pay from the date of discharge.

Foetal cells have been used extensively in biology and medicine for many years without much public knowledge for their importance, especially in the development of necessary vaccines. Foetal cells are differentiated cells with high expansion, regeneration and low immunogenic properties. They can be isolated from foetal tissues, which follow embryonic stage after 9 weeks of development. Foetal skin cells offer an ideal solution for effective and safe cell therapy and tissue engineering for several reasons including; a) cell expansion capacity from one organ donation; b) minimal cell growth requirements; c) adaptation to biomaterials for delivery; and, d) resistance to oxidative stress.

In the next series of experiments, we addressed the potential mechanism by which manuka was causing decreased cell viability. Loss of cell membrane asymmetry, detectable by Annexin V staining, represents one of the earliest events in apoptosis. B16.F1 cells were harvested at 24, 48, or 72 hrs after treatment with different concentrations of manuka honey (range 0.3% to 5.0%) or taxol (at a final concentration of 10 ng/ml), stained with Annexin V-FITC and PI, and subjected to flowcytometric analysis. As can be seen in [Figure 3](#pone-0055993-g003){ref-type="fig"}, there was a dose-dependent, and time-dependent, increase in the number of cells undergoing apoptosis (Annexin V-positive) after culture with increasing concentrations of manuka honey.low complexity events, through the FSC and SSC parameters, and dead cells by using the FVS-510 marker (BD Biosciences).

Induction of anti-PspA4Pro antibodies by immunization with NP/NCMPs {#sec015}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Mucosal immunization targeting the lungs was done with the resuspension of NP/NCMP PspA4Pro. Purified protein was used as control in parenteral (PspA4Pro sc) and mucosal (PspA4Pro lungs) immunizations. Mice received two doses of the formulations with a 15-day interval and anti-PspA4Pro IgG titers were


\[[@pone.0191692.ref011]\]. Our group has shown that PspA4 is able to induce antibodies with broad reactivity \[[@pone.0191692.ref012]\], but this previous work was done using parenteral immunization with alum as adjuvant.

Since only protection against pneumococcal challenge with a strain expressing PspA from the homologous family was observed, further improvements in the formulation are needed. Besides the inclusion of a PspA from family 1, NPs composed of polymers other than PGA-co-PDL and/or the inclusion of adjuvants to the formulations may help in improving the immune response. In fact, the use of a TLR2-ligand adjuvant in a formulation delivered to the lungs elicited protective responses in mice against an aerosol challenge with *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* \[[@pone.0191692.ref030]\]. Delivery to the lungs of NPs conjugated with the tuberculosis antigen Ag85B with the adjuvant CpG elicitedwas booked for a show in Rockford and he brought a van full of people from Chicago with him. On top of that, he even arrived an hour early. Pares demonstrated a mastery of the three most important elements of the business, being funny, being reliable, and drawing a crowd.

different levels of autistic traits in an information sampling task adapted from \[[@pcbi.1006964.ref040],[@pcbi.1006964.ref041]\]: On each trial of the experiment, participants could draw samples sequentially to accumulate evidence for a probabilistic inference and would receive monetary rewards for correct inferences. Each additional sample may increase their probability of correct inference but also incur a fixed monetary cost. In order to maximize expected gain, participants should draw fewer samples when each sample had higher cost or provided higher evidence, and vice versa. We manipulated the cost and evidence per sample and compared participants' performance to optimality. We found that different levels of autistic traits were accompanied by different extents of deviation from optimality. Compared to their peers, participants with higher level of autistic traits received higher rewards in the zero-cost−2.43, *p* = .042) or high cost (*t*~188.90~ = −3.51, *p* = .002) in the low-evidence conditions but was little influenced by cost in the high-evidence conditions ([Fig 2F](#pcbi.1006964.g002){ref-type="fig"}; also see [S1C Fig](#pcbi.1006964.s002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). In the low-evidence conditions, the observed slopes imply that higher AQ led to lower sampling variability under zero cost (*t*~140.52~ = −2.22, *p* = .028) but higher sampling variability under high cost (*t*~154.23~ = 2.50, *p* = .014).

Taken together, participants with different levels of AQ differed in both the mean and SD of sample sizes. Participants with higher AQ had higher efficiency in the zero-cost, low-evidence condition, which was associated with less undersampling and lower sampling variability. Meanwhile, higher AQ corresponded to lower efficiency and higher sampling variability in the high-cost, low-evidence condition.

Bimodal decision times


each participant using maximum likelihood estimates. For each fitted choice model, with some additional assumptions, we were able to model participants' DTs and fit the additional DT parameters using maximum likelihood estimates as well (see [Methods](#sec008){ref-type="sec"}). The sum of the log likelihoods for choices and DTs was used for further model comparisons, which was mathematically equivalent to the log likelihood from modeling the joint distribution of choices and RTs (see [Methods](#sec008){ref-type="sec"} for proof). We compared the models in goodness-of-fit using the Akaike Information Criterion corrected for small samples (AICc) \[[@pcbi.1006964.ref044],[@pcbi.1006964.ref045]\]. The ΔAICc for a specific model was calculated for each participant with respect to the participant's best-fitting model (i.e. lowest-AICc) and then summed across participants. We also used the group-level Bayesian model selection \[[@pcbi.1006964.ref046],[@pcbi.1006964.ref047]\] for random effects modelthe three cost conditions), and evidence decay rate (one parameter). We computed the correlation between participants' AQ score and each parameter, correcting for multiple comparisons separately for each parameter group. Only a negative correlation between AQ and the zero-cost second-thought probability was marginally significant (*r*~*S*~ = −.22,*p* = .07, uncorrected *p* = .023), which suggests that higher AQ participants were less likely to use the second stage to reconsider stopping sampling in the zero-cost conditions, where the optimal strategy was to sample as many as possible. Though intuitive and consistent with the AQ effects on efficiency, we found this correlation would vanish when only the participants who were best fit by the ${Cost}\underset{C–cond}{\overset{continue}{\rightarrow}}{Evidence}$ model were included (*r*~*S*~ = −.02,*p* = .86) and thus might have been an epi-phenomenon


we modeled, because the second stage is only probabilistically recruited, factors considered in the first stage would effectively leverage a greater influence on the sampling choice than those of the second stage. In other words, always being cost-first means the sampling choice is mainly determined by cost-related factors, while sometimes cost-first and sometimes evidence-first means the sampling choice is more of a tradeoff between cost- and evidence-related factors. Neither strategy is necessarily optimal but may approximate the optimal strategy in different situations: The former is closer to optimal when the optimal strategy does not depend on evidence, while the latter is closer to optimal when the optimal strategy varies with both cost and evidence. Participants' differences in strategic diversity thus explain the autistic trait-related differences we observed insome attrition expected.

### IQ test {#sec012}

Combined Raven Test (CRT) was used to measure participants' IQ for control purpose. Raw CRT scores of all 114 participants averaged 67.69 (s.d., 4.71) and ranged from 41 to 72. Six of the participants (scoring from 41 to 58) fell out of two standard deviations of the mean and was excluded from further analyses along with four other participants (as mentioned above). The remaining 104 participants had a mean CRT score of 68.65 (s.d., 2.82; ranging from 61 to 72), corresponding to a mean IQ score of 117.68.

### AQ test {#sec013}

Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) questionnaire \[[@pcbi.1006964.ref018]\] was used to quantify participants' autistic traits. AQ questionnaire is a 4-point self-reported scale with 50 items measuring five type of autistic characteristics: social interaction, attentional switch,


multiplicity of the contrasts was controlled by a single-step adjustment, which used multivariate *t* distributions to estimate the critical value for conducted contrasts \[[@pcbi.1006964.ref078],[@pcbi.1006964.ref079]\].

LMM1: decision efficiency is the dependent variable; fixed effects include an intercept, the main and interaction effects of AQ, cost, and ratio (evidence); random effects include correlated random slopes of costs and ratios within participants and random participant intercept.

LMM2: sampling bias (mean number of actual sampling minus optimal number of sampling; $\overline{n_{s}-n_{opt}}$) is the dependent variable; the fixed and random effects are the same as LMM1.

LMM3: standard deviation of the number of sampling (*SD*(*n*~*s*~)) is the dependent variable; the fixed and random effects are the same as LMM1.

LMM4: mean decision time (DT) across all sampling choices of a condition is the dependent variable; the fixedkey press, only DTs for continuing sampling were analyzed. Before any analysis of DTs, outliers of log-transformed DTs were excluded based on nonparametric boxplot statistics, with data points lower than the 1st quartile or higher than the 3rd quartile of all the log-transformed DTs by more than 1.5 times of the interquartile range defined as outliers.

### Correlation analyses based on modeling results {#sec019}

Spearman's rank correlations (denoted *r*~s~) were computed between AQ and model measures (model parameter or model evidence), and between model measures and behavioral measures (efficiency, $\overline{n_{s}-n_{opt}}$, or *SD*(*n*~*s*~)). Except for the statistics in [Fig 6C](#pcbi.1006964.g006){ref-type="fig"}, multiple correlation tests were corrected using false discovery rate (FDR) to avoid the inflation of false alarm rates with multiple comparisons.

To test whether the curve of correlation coefficients between cost-evidence strategy

At the company's annual benefit Sept. 25 in Rosslyn, selections from "Hamlet" and "Much Ado About Nothing" will be performed in the language that was invented for the Klingon characters of the "Star Trek" films. Actors will be speaking the verse in two languages, English and Klingon, and the lines in each will correspond to the Bard's signature meter: iambic pentameter. The translations are courtesy of the Klingon Language Institute, a Pennsylvania group that published "The Klingon Hamlet" several years ago, in addition to composing the Klingon version of "Much Ado About Nothing."

We have calculated an increase of 6 – 9% in density and 5 – 6% in temperature during the passage of the EUV wave. We have compared the variation in temperature with the adiabatic relationship and have quantitatively demonstrated the phenomenon of heating due to adiabatic compression at the wave front. However, the cooling phase does not follow adiabatic relaxation but shows slow decay indicating slow energy release being triggered by the wave passage. We have also identified that heating is taking place at the front of the wave pulse rather than at the rear. Our results provide support for the case that the event under study here is a compressive fast-mode wave or a shock.'

@Long2008; @Veronig2008; @Warmuth2011; @Muhr2014]. Taking advantage of the quadrature configuration of the STEREO satellites, many authors were able to study the 3D structure and evolution of EUV waves [@Patsourakos2009; @Kienreich2009; @Ma2009; @Veronig2010; @Temmer2011]. It was estimated that most of the EUV wave emission is coming from heights of 80 – 100Mm above the photosphere [@Patsourakos2009; @Kienreich2009] which is comparable to 1 – 2 coronal scale heights (distance from the photosphere over which the pressure scales as a factor of 1/e).

The high cadence and resolution of AIA has helped in improving the knowledge of kinematics of wave fronts and to identify secondary wave components. With regard to solar atmospheric research and plasma physics in general, it is hugely important to study how these waves affect the local plasma andbe between 80 – 100 Mm [@Patsourakos2009; @Kienreich2009]. For the calculations here we assume $h=90$Mm.

We also made difference DEMs (referred to as $\Delta$DEM henceforth) by subtracting the DEM of the base image (taken at 01:45UT) from the DEM at each subsequent time step. This was used to better illustrate the changes in the DEM during the passage of the EUV wave. This can be considered to be similar to background subtracted images or base images for the purpose of image enhancement.

Study along 55$\degree$ direction {#55direction}
---------------------------------

In Figure \[profiles\] we show the perturbation profiles from AIA 211Å channel along 55$\degree$ direction at five different time steps corresponding to before (panels 1, 2), during (panel 3) and after (panels 4, 5) the passage of the EUV wave from ROI55, marked in red. The average flux from this region taken from all the six AIA coronal channels were used as inputs for the DEM analysis.

The curves resulting from our DEM analysis are shown in Figure \[dem\]. The left panels correspond to DEM curves derived from the perturbation profiles constructed from the original data.in DEM values and is comparable to the background emission. The middle row corresponds to the DEM and $\Delta$DEM when the EUV wave pulse was at ROI55 while the bottom two rows of this figure shows the DEM and $\Delta$DEM when most/all of the wave pulse has moved out of ROI55.

![Average density **(top)** and temperature **(bottom)** derived from the DEM evolution at ROI55 as a function of time. Thin black lines represent the absolute errors while the thick shorter lines show the relative error.[]{data-label="density"}](DensityEerr_55roi){width="8.7cm"}

Using equations \[temp\_eq\] and \[dem\_eq\] we derived the averaged temperatures and densities, respectively, from the DEMs obtained with the original data (left panels of Figure \[dem\]). Figure \[density\] shows the time evolution of the derived quantities along with its errors. The temperatures and densities obtained in the


adiabatic process are plotted as blue plus symbols and the temperature changes obtained from the DEM diagnostics are plotted as red diamonds. The absolute temperature scale is plotted on the right axis. For ease of viewing the errors are shown in the legend rather than on the data points.[]{data-label="adiabatic"}](adiabatic_55roi){width="8.5cm"}

We calculated the absolute errors in density to be of the order of 0.16$\times10^8$cm$^{-3}$ and those in log$_{10}$T to be of the order of 0.06 dex. We note here that the main contribution to the error in density is from the error in the value of $h$ which is $\approx$10%. In this paper we discuss about the relative changes and not the absolute values. Hence, we want to determine errors which are more relevant to the current study rather thanthe panels of Figure \[profile210\] where it appears. Such brightenings have been previously reported for different events [@Delannee1999; @Attrill2007; @Cohen2009; @Muhr2011].

From Figure \[profile210\] we see that the brightening does not exist prior to the passage of the EUV wave (top panel). By comparing panel 2 with panels 3, 4 and 5 we can say that the brightening occupies the same position as the first appearance of the EUV wave pulse and continues to remain there at least for the next 15min. In panel 5 of this figure we see that a secondary stationary brightening is formed adjacent to the first one after the EUV wave pulse has moved forward. The clear distinction of the wave pulse from the stationary brightening is difficult. We selected ROI210 such that it does not


the 210$\degree$ direction has been previously interpreted as compression of plasma near the foot points of opening field lines due to the expansion of CME flanks [@Delannee1999; @Muhr2011] or as ongoing reconnection between expanding flux ropes and surrounding favorably oriented magnetic field [@Attrill2007; @Cohen2009]. In either case this could result in energy release and associated temperature increase. We see the effect of this when we compare the densities and temperatures at ROI210. Firstly, the density in ROI210 does not return to the background level as it did in ROI55. Secondly, there is an increase in temperature even after the density has reached its peak. These observations can be attributed to the presence of the secondary stationary brightening which occurs at ROI210 (see panel 5 of Figure \[profile210\]).

The Lies That Form Our Consciousness And False Historical Awareness

My generation associated dystopias, such as George Orwell’s 1984, with the Soviet Union, a country in which explanations were controlled and criticism of Stalin would land a person in the Gulag.

We thought of the United States and our life here much differently.

But with the passage of time the difference between life in the Soviet Union in the 20th century and life in the Western world today is disappearing.

Today, the journalist Julian Assange is undergoing the same kind of state terror and torture as any Soviet dissident, if not worse.

The Western media is as controlled as the Soviet media, with print, TV, and public radio serving as a propaganda ministry for government and the interest groups that control government.

Social media,were allied with the British against Germany.

Never before in history has the very last power to mobilize been blamed for starting a war. But facts never get in the way of court historians.

The genesis of the war was the desire on the part of two of the Russian Tsar’s ministers for Constantinople and the French president for territory, Alsace-Lorraine, lost to Germany in the 1870 Franco-Prussian war.

These schemers used Austria’s response to the assassination of the Austrian archduke in Serbia, which they likely orchestrated, to declare war as Germany was the protector of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.

American president Woodrow Wilson secured an armistice to the World War, which had senselessly destroyed millions of lives, by promising Germany that if she agreed to an armistice, there would be no territorial


Essential role of NOXA1 in generation of reactive oxygen species induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein in human vascular endothelial cells.
Oxidative stress induced by superoxide plays an important role in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. NAD(P)H oxidase is a principal enzymatic origin for superoxide in vasculature. Recently, novel homologues of cytosolic components of NAD(P)H oxidase, Nox organizer 1 (NOXO1) and Nox activator 1 (NOXA1), are identified. On the other hand, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in endothelial cells via lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1). In the present investigation, the authors examined the expression, the regulation, and the role of NOXA1 in the generation of ROS in endothelial cells. The expression of NOXA1 was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Dihydroethidium method showed that ox-LDLRNC ban him from debates? Can that really be done? The answer is yes. The RNC, just as the Democratic National Committee (DNC), is considered a private club. They make their own rules. The DNC isn’t holding a single debate until October—something that candidates like Martin O’Malley aren’t happy about. But there’s nothing they can really do.

Since many conservatives vote Republican to support our free-market, smaller-government agenda… This is sad news. The Republican Party needs to leave this critical decision up to voters. There is clearly a top front-runner (Donald Trump!) who is leading every poll by historic margins. He should be allowed to continue making his case and speaking freely… But The Donald MUST be allowed in every debate.

in low doses, to humans but more or less lethal to bugs and while these chemicals can be applied safely, so it is claimed, the sheer scale of their use and the fact that not everyone who uses them is careful in their application is problematic. It now appears from three recent studies that even when used properly, where bees are concerned, these chemicals are toxic. Moreover, the Bayer products were approved by the EPA for use based on a study funded by Bayer which was later discredited by EPA scientists!

So, there's a lot of evidence that to points to Bayer pesticides as a, if not the, causative agent behind CCD.

generality of this mechanism of activation and found that redox-mediated activation is restricted to the LTGF-beta1 isoform. Next, we used scavengers to determine that ROS activation was a function of OH(.) availability, confirming oxidation as the primary mechanism. To identify which partner of the LTGF-beta1 complex was functionally modified, each was exposed to ROS and tested for the ability to form a latent complex. Exposure of TGF-beta1 did not alter its ability to associate with LAP, but exposing LAP-beta1 to ROS prohibited this phenomenon, while treatment of ROS-exposed LAP-beta1 with a mild reducing agent restored its ability to neutralize TGF-beta1 activity. Taken together, these results suggest that ROS-induced oxidation in LAP-beta1 triggers a conformational change that releases TGF-beta1. Using site-specific mutation, we identified a methionine residue at aminothat col10a1 expressing osteoblast progenitors are dispensable for regeneration. Intriguingly, however, after ablation of osterix (osx)/sp7-col10a1 double-positive osteoblasts, col10a1 cells exclusively gave rise to joint cells in the intersegmental region thus identifying a pool of lineage-restricted joint progenitor cells. To identify additional sources for regenerating osteoblasts, we performed clonal lineage analysis. Our data provide the first evidence that after ablation of mature osteoblasts in medaka, transdifferentiation does not account for de novo osteoblast generation. Instead, our findings suggest the presence of lineage restricted progenitor pools in medaka, similar to the situation in zebrafish. After osteoblast ablation, these pools become activated and give rise to fin ray osteoblasts and intersegmental joint cells during regeneration. In summary, we conclude that col10a1-positive cells do not represent an exclusive source for osteoblasts


FRIDAY, March 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A panel of U.S. Food and Drug Administration experts on Thursday unanimously recommended approval of a new at-home stool test that screens for colorectal cancer with more than 90 percent accuracy.

The 10-member committee said the benefits of Exact Science Corp.'s Cologuard test outweigh its risks, the Associated Press reported. The FDA is not obligated to follow its panels' recommendations, but usually does.

The panel's blessing comes on the heels of a study published earlier this month that found Cologuard had a very high accuracy rate in spotting colon cancer.

Last year, nearly 143,000 new cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed in the United States and almost 50,000 Americans died of the disease, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute.

Yet, one-third of Americans failbelieve that major national military assets were largely dropped after the Mysterian invasion, but groups like the U.S. National Guard and the JSDF were still active in case of natural disaster or kaiju attack. There was more emphasis on international military aerospace forces to prevent alien invasion, but less ground troops. That made it easier to shift funding into research (hence the maser cannons or advanced space tech), and perhaps allowed a greater proportion of national resources to be used for recovery after kaiju attacks. Incorporating elements of the Harryhausen film catalog---specifically, the Rhedosaurus' attack on New York and the Pentapus attack on San Francisco---wouldn't alter that, as those two cities suffered relatively little damage and both attacks took place before the Mysterian invasion. But they still would

As much time, effort, and resources are spent on civil defense drills, they must have a lot of air raid shelters or rather, kaiju raid shelters. These shelters had to be capable of handling the rapid shifts of hundreds of thousands or millions at a time in small groups of a few hundred, so they certainly would need a lot of them.

However, over the three floors and half-a-dozen rooms filled with his assorted explorations, for me, the most affecting works remain his Seaforms, devised from his 80s experiments with cast-iron moulds, which allowed him to construct the thinnest sheets of glass with a fascinating, ridged texture.

World War II training camp. It is an informal community of squatters, snowbirds, homeless residents, veterans, and artists like Austin, all making their homes in this unhomely desert environment wedged between an active gunnery range and the Imperial Valley’s industrial agriculture.

Leftover from the military camp, the basic elements of a town are here: roads, reservoirs, sewers, slabs, and foundations. After the camp was disbanded in 1946, the eponymous concrete slabs were left behind when the wooden buildings moved to Niland, the nearest town, four miles away. The slabs that remain today are cracked and partially covered with sand, and the camp’s original roads are pocked with holes and rutted with tank tracks. The million-gallon cisterns are empty; manholes have been filled in and their covers salvaged long ago.Sea’s dusty veil. Between slats to the east, we could see plumes of smoke rising from ordnance that had been dropped on the bombing range.

Slab City is here because it is a so-called Section 36. In America’s westward expansion, the National Land Ordinance of 1785 and subsequent land acts, including California’s 1853 survey, overlaid the land with a grid and divided each township into 36 sections. In this system, every township had two square-mile plots—Section 16 and Section 36—reserved for public education. Many have been sold by states to help fund schools, but this particular Section 36 has lingered as a small piece of public land, a forgotten square of desert atop East Mesa along the Imperial Valley’s ancient shoreline.

Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, GA), a natural phenolic acid has been reported as a strong antioxidant. Therefore the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of GA and dodecyl gallate (DGA) against acute and chronic carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity.
