Use of engineered peripheral nerve autografts for spinal cord repair.
We developed a clinically compatible protocol for the production of engineered tissue for grafting into the injured spinal cord. We used autologous tissue derived from pre-ligated peripheral nerves, which avoids supply, immunocompatibility and ethical hinderances, combined with non-viral transfection, which is a versatile and non-immunogenic gene transfer method. In-vitro transfection of glial cells or primary tissue from pre-ligated rat peripheral nerve with the neurotrophic gene brain-derived neurotrophic factor significantly enhanced its expression, when quantified or labelled by immunofluorescence. Engineered tissue expressed brain-derived neurotrophic factor after being grafted into the spinal cord of rats that had received spinal contusion injury 3 weeks before. Anatomical and functional assays of repair, conducted on a small cohort, showed that the treatment may promotethe centre of the inflorescence meristem (Figure [2 M, O](#F2){ref-type="fig"}; arrowheads).

Upon fertilization, expression of *FAF1, FAF3, FAF4*, but not *FAF2*could also be detected in the developing embryo, starting from the early heart stage and lasting until torpedo stage (Figure [2Q-T](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). *FAF2*expression was, however, detectable in the funiculus (Figure [2V](#F2){ref-type="fig"}, arrowhead).

The dynamic nature of *FAF*gene regulation was confirmed by the dramatic changes in reporter gene activity observed during the first 8 days after germination (Additional File [1](#S1){ref-type="supplementary-material"} Figure S3). *FAF1::GUS*activity, for example, was initially restricted to the hypocotyl, but expression gradually shifted to the root over the following four days. Starting on day 6, *FAF1::GUS*became active in the vasculature of the cotyledons and subsequently also in the leaves. Similar, but distinct, dynamic regulation of reporter gene activity could also

Discussion
==========

The shoot apical meristem is initiated early during embryogenesis and harbours a small population of pluripotent stem cells from which all aerial parts of the plant are derived \[[@B1],[@B25]\]. Establishment and maintenance of these stem cells depends on the activity of the *WUS*and *CLV*genes, which are mutually regulating each other\'s expression in a spatial negative feedback loop \[[@B3]\]. *WUS*expression in the OC of the shoot meristem promotes stem cell fate in the cells above while the stem cells themselves secrete a small peptide, CLV3, which is perceived by CLV1 and, possibly, the CLV2/CRN receptor complex \[[@B3],[@B11],[@B12],[@B26]\]. Ultimately, CLV3-dependent signalling limits the size of the *WUS*-expressing OC. The WUS-CLV system israther dynamic and can, over time, compensate for even 10-fold differences in *CLV3*expression, indicating that *CLV3*expression confers information about stem-cell position to the underlying OC rather than information about stem cell number \[[@B14]\].

Analysis of *FAF*overexpressing lines by RNA *in situ*hybridization demonstrated that *WUS*was strongly downregulated in these lines. The fact that the expression of *WUS*was affected regardless of which *FAF*gene was constitutively expressed, suggests that the ability to repress *WUS*is intrinsic to all four FAF proteins. In wild-type, *FAF*effects on *WUS*are likely to be exerted only by *FAF2*and *FAF4*, which are the two *FAF*genes expressed in the centre of the shoot and/or inflorescence meristem in a domain that appears to be overlapping with the site of *WUS*expression.

In the *clv3-7*mutant the expression domains of *WUS*and *FAF2*/*FAF4*appear to be largely

Whole mount preparations were examined under an MZ FLIII (Leica) microscope and pictures were taken with an AxioCam HRc digital camera (Zeiss). Thin sections of tissues stained for GUS activity were prepared from paraffin embedded tissue as described above.

The width of the inflorescence meristem was determined on tissue sections stained with toluidine blue. For this purpose, serial sections of the meristem were prepared and the width of the meristem was determined from the section that passed through the centre of the meristem. The average meristem width and the standard deviation were calculated based on measurements of 15 meristems.

Furthermore, we note that the extremely voluminous record on appeal reveals patterns of behavior on the part of Plaintiffs which can only be described as contumacious or for purposes of delay.

    Message passing for the coloring problem:\
    Gallager meets Alon and Kahale

Introduction and Results
========================

A *$k$-coloring* $f$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a mapping from the set of vertices $V$ to $\{1,2,...,k\}$. $f$ is a *proper coloring* of $G$ if for every edge $(u,v)\in E$, $f(u)\neq f(v)$. In the graph coloring problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and are asked to produce a proper $k$-coloring $f$ with a minimal possible $k$. The minimal value of $k$ is called the *chromatic number* of the graph $G$, commonly denoted by $\chi(G)$. The problem of properly $k$-coloringa $k$-colorable graph is notoriously hard. It is one of the most famous NP-Complete problems, and even approximating the chromatic number within an acceptable ratio is NP-hard [@FeigeKilian98].

Message passing algorithms are popular in many combinatorial optimization problems. For example, experimental results show that [*survey propagation*]{} (a certain message passing algorithm) is effective in finding proper $k$-colorings of random graphs in the near-threshold regime [@SurveyPropagationCol]. In his seminal work [@Gallager62], Gallager in 1962 introduced the concept of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, and suggested a simple decoding algorithm based on message passing.

In 1994 Alon and Kahale [@AlonKahale97] introduced, in another innovative work, a spectral algorithm for coloring sparse (“low density”) $k$-colorable graphs, and showed that their algorithm works ${whp}$[^1] over a certain planted-solution distribution over $k$-colorable graphs on $n$ vertices.

Our


an arbitrary average vertex-degree, denoted throughout by ${{\cal{G}}^{{\rm plant}}_{n,p,k}}$. First, randomly partition the vertex set $V=\{1,...,n\}$ into $k$ classes $V_{1},...,V_{k}$, of size $n/k$ each. Then, for every $i
\neq j$, include every possible edge connecting a vertex in $V_{i}$ with a vertex in $V_{j}$ with probability $p=p(n)$. Throughout, $\varphi^*:V\rightarrow\{1\ldots,k\}$ denotes the planted coloring, where the corresponding graph will be clear from context. ${{\cal{G}}^{{\rm plant}}_{n,p,k}}$ is also referred to as the planted distribution, and is the analog of the planted clique, planted bisection, and planted SAT distributions, studied e.g. in [@AlonKrivSudCliqe; @FeigeKraut; @TechReport; @flaxman].

${{\cal{G}}^{{\rm plant}}_{n,p,k}}$ is similar to LDPC in some sense. Both constructions are based on random graphs. In codes, the received corrupted codeword provides noisy information on a single bit or on the parity of a small numberdirection, that is, by introducing new analytical tools to analyze ${\mathsf{Gallager}}$ in the colorability setting we suggest the same tools for establishing rigorous results in the ever developing study of LDPC codes.

Our results also extend naturally to other partition problems where spectral techniques provide a first approximation and then an iterative algorithm is used to find a proper solution [@AlonKrivSudCliqe; @FeigeOfek06; @Boppana87]. It would be interesting to see whether one can adjust ${\mathsf{Gallager}}$ to these settings and prove similar results to ours.

Another interesting question is to study the counterpart of code-rate in the colorability problem. Specifically, what is the “farthest" coloring from the planted one, from which one can prove convergence of ${\mathsf{Gallager}}$? A random 3-coloring will be at distance roughly $2n/3$ from the planted one. Now if every

The other possibility is that my syrup was not as thick and viscous as it was supposed to be - I had problems with the sugar recrystallizing, which caused it to have a sludgy consistency instead of thick and syrupy.

These second cookies were too crisp - probably again due to the crystallized sugar, but a little more flour wouldn’t have hurt here either.

My third formula is sort of an average of the other two, and this created the best balance of flavor and texture and the dough worked perfectly in my cookie press.

Articular cartilage repair: procedures versus products.
This review discusses the current perspectives and practices regarding the treatment of articular cartilage injury. Specifically, the authors have delineated and examined articular cartilage repair techniques as either surgical procedures or manufactured products. Although both methodologies are used to treat articular cartilage injury, there are obvious advantages and disadvantages to the application of both, with the literature providing few recommendations on the most suitable regimen for the patient and surgeon. In recent times, cell-based tissue engineering products, predominantly autologous chondrocyte implantation, have been the subject of much research and have become clinically popular. Herein, we review the most used procedures and products in cartilage repair, compare and contrast their outcomes, and evaluate the issues that must be overcome in order to improve patientshould not require any additional resources to support it.

up even more by caching the content locally, or even using CDN (content delivery networks). You can use special purpose webservers such as nginx, that are optimized for serving static content too.

Furthermore, it is simple to maintain. You can back it up in the cloud, move to a different provider, and even serve it from your own desktop. You do not need to back up a database or worry about software upgrades, portability issues, or even support.

But, what are the downsides? Let us consider the problems:

How do you create nice looking pages? Let us say that you want to create a standard look and feel. If you are the kind that use hand-coded HTML, you will cut and paste the HTML template and then edit it. Pretty soon,it becomes complex. If you want to change the look and feel, you will have to go through all the pages and edit the few lines.

How do you create standard elements of a website? For example, you want a menu scheme. If you add a new area, then you have to go to each page and add a link in the menu to this new area of website. Or, if you want to create a sitemap, you will find yourself constantly updating the sitemap.

Considering that a website has repetitive information depending on the context, static way of maintaining a website is cumbersome. That is why, even for the static websites, people prefer WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal – all of which are meant for dynamically creating websites.

In these systems


docpad, and a few more.

Out of all the contenders, for my use, I like hugo and docpad. Hugo is the simplest of the lot and extremely fast. Docpad is more versatile in supporting lot of different kind of formats, templates, and plugins. In hugo, all that I had to do was to create a hierarchy and drop in .md files as description. Based on the folder structure, it creates the menus, content layout, and the URLs. Docpad is a bit more complex, but it is also essentially the same.

Static web with high interactivity

There is a big problem with the earlier approach. Consider the example we were giving about a document management system: what if we want to search for the right document? Or, sort the documents by date?images are also responsive, this 3D effect can make the web pages come alive. To take a look at some examples, see: http://www.creativebloq.com/web-design/parallax-scrolling-1131762

Interactive HTML pages: Imagine you are telling a story, where by changing some choices, the story changes. For examples, tabs change the content. But, imagine creating new content based on the user input, not merely showing and displaying the content. For instance, once we know the name of the reader, age and other details, it is easy to change the text to incorporate those elements. Or, if we know what they need, we can directly address in a sales dialog. While I did not carry out this idea to completion, I satisfied myself which the technology and the framework to do this interactive narrative sales tool.

On the statistics front, I familiarized with basics of statistics, which is always handy. I focused on http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkbayes/thinkbayes.pdf to learn more. I followed Quora to learn about the subjects in Coursera. I wanted to get to machine learning, but that will have to wait for 2015.

Imodels are being disrupted by startups that bring new technologies and new breed of applications. While IT does not exactly lead the business transformation, at least by bringing the right capabilities, IT can support businesses better.

Internal users as consumers

Demographics of the employees are changing. More and more young people are joining the workforce. They are used to different kind of experience using modern devices and modern applications.

Even the older people are used to consumer applications: they use Gmail at home, facetime on their IPad, Facebook on their laptop, and LinkedIn at work. They come to work and they use Exchange without the benefit of Bayesian spam filters; they use Lync video instead of facetime or Hangouts; they do not even have something like Facebook or LinkedIn at work.

run at least 8 VM’s simultaneously. Someday, I can convert it to my private cloud instance, but till then, I can use it as my desktop machine with lot of personal VM’s running.

I have two 27” monitors ordered off ebay, directly from Korea. Each monitor, costing $320, offers 2560×1440 resolution, with stunning IPS display – it is the same as in Samsung Galaxy, but with large 27” diagonal size. These days, you can get them from even newegg.

To support these monitors, you need dual DVI – two of them. They do not support HDMI and VGA would negate all the benefits of such high resolution. The consumer grade reasonable one is built with GeForce GT 640, of which there are several.

Finally, I used pcpartpicker site (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/23MXv ) toput together all my parts and it showed if my build is compatible internally or not. Also, it helped me pick the stores where I can buy them from. I ended up ordering from newegg and Amazon, for most needs. I also had all other needed peripherals like Logitech mouse, webcam, and MS Keyboard etc. from before, which I used for my new computer.

Software

For software, I opted to use Windows 8.1, as I use office apps most of the time. I use ninite.com to install all my apps – they can install all the needed free apps. Here are some of the apps I installed using that app: Chrome, Firefox, VLC, Java, Windirstat, Glary, Classic Start, Python, Filezilla, Putty, Eclipse, Dropbox, Google Drive.

Faith-based organizations have become important players in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Though lesser-known than such official roles as "navigators" and "certified applicant counselors," they've been hosting speakers and alerting people who may not follow or trust other sources of information, letting them know that they can get enrolled and where to get help.

"The opportunity we have to get folks who have not had insurance -- or even the hope of getting insurance -- simply enrolled is absolutely central to how I define myself in my faith tradition following a Christ who came as a healer," said the Rev. Sally Jo Snyder, a United Methodist minister working with theConsumer Health Coalition.

Religious groups large and small are hosting speakers and putting people in touch with those who can help with enrollment.

At Carnegie Presbyterian, Ms. McGee talked with individuals, set up appointments and referred them to navigators.

"I was excited that there was a minister who was concerned about his congregation and wanted to provide assistance," she said.

And in some cases, those getting the help are the religious leaders themselves.

The Rev. Mary Ann Strader, executive pastor at the small nondenominational church, Kingdom Life Fellowship, had tried to enroll online in October but ran up against the roadblocks that plagued the early days of the HealthCare.gov website.

Her church hosted a representative late last year from Enroll America. That organization is trying to get people signed up for health coverage. The


to have it removed. But "as soon as they found out I didn't have insurance, they said there was nothing they could do."

So she had two more trips to the emergency room, "The third time it was so bad, I hadn't eaten in four days," she said. "They finally admitted me" and did the surgery. But her lack of coverage meant a longer and more painful wait for it.

At Mount Ararat Baptist Church in Larimer, more than 5,000 attendees saw a recent video presentation on the ACA, with many meeting afterward with representatives of SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, the health-care arm of the Service Employees International Union, to learn more about enrolling.

The Jewish Healthcare Foundation, working with several other local foundations, has provided a series of mini-grants to neighborhoodthe windshield of a police cruiser in downtown Grand Rapids. No officers were hurt, Belk said.
The suspect abandoned his car on I-96 and ran into the woods near Soft Water Lake and Rickman Avenue, then broke into the home.'Domestic issues' A friend told reporters that the killings stemmed "from domestic issues" and a neighbor said Dantzler had recently separated from his wife.
The home where Dantzler was believed to have taken hostages is a short distance from the Brynell Court house, where the four bodies where found earlier Thursday.
Lisa Schenden lives with her husband and their children two blocks from that home. Schenden said the homeowners are a couple whose daughter has a daughter with the suspect.
Schenden said she did not hear the shooting but did see the suspect


Christine Ann Moretz died at the scene after being shot Tuesday at Physicians Regional Medical Center in Naples. Her estranged husband, 54-year-old Jeffrey Moretz was airlifted to another hospital for treatment.

Court records show the couple was in foreclosure and in the process of divorcing. Jeffrey Moretz had been charged in 2009 with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after firing a gun in his home, but the charge was later dropped.

You see, that's how they do it. They make sure they kill the woman and then only wound themselves.

And that's how Florida's lax gun laws treat gun crime, they drop the charges so the maniac can continue to be a "lawful gun owner." We wouldn't want to infringe upon his rights, now would we?

196 CE (fall of Emperor Commodus): Military gains power over the choice of the Emperor.
235-284 CE: Empire ruled by a succession of Military rulers, most of which are short-lived and assassinated and deposed after a short rule. Diocletian's reforms reorganize the empire into a pre-feudal state with multiple (four) Emperors residing in locations distributed across the empire and therefore able to respond to local rebellions more swiftly. The reforms provide some stability, but the power remains with the warlords.
260 CE: Rome abandons the Northern parts (right bank of the Rhine) of the province Germania superior.
Starting in 381 CE: Persecutions of pagans by Theodosius (especially after 389 CE). This is not the first religious persecution in Roman history, but


how drugs and alcohol are affecting our community and other communities across Colorado and the U.S. The only way to combat these new trends is for a sheriff and his deputies to actively be involved with other law enforcement, government agencies, and the community, and take a stance that this type of criminal behavior is not acceptable in Grand County.

Initially scoffing, they are both noticeably moved by it. Tearing up, Jim informs the camera crew that Ryan can never know of the incident.

Production

"Angry Andy" was written by Justin Spitzer, his second writing credit for the season after "Garden Party". The episode was directed by Claire Scanlon, her first credit for the series. The episode guest stars Sendhil Ramamurthy as Ravi, Pam and Jim's pediatrician. Before the premiere of the episode, it was revealed that Ramamurthy would be introduced as a new romantic interest for Mindy Kaling's character Kelly Kapoor. Writer B. J. Novak explained that Ryan and Kelly "go through a heart-wrenching break-up [and the two] end up becoming bitter enemies in the office when she falls in love with


an Indian doctor. He's very handsome and a much, much better match for Kelly than Ryan is." TV Fanatic predicted that Ramamurthy's appearance in the show was done so that Kaling could exit the program, due to her commitment to her Fox series The Mindy Project.

Ratings
"Angry Andy" originally aired on NBC in the United States on April 26, 2012. The episode was viewed by an estimated 4.35 million viewers and received a 2.2 rating/6% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49. This means that it was seen by 2.2% of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 6% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast.

"All administrations and, frankly, all governments suffer from the need to sequence and decide when they focus on national security, when they focus on human rights, when they combine the two and use the leverage to address the one versus the other," said Sarah Margon, the Washington director of Human Rights Watch.

Under former president Barack Obama, human rights at least came up rhetorically and issues such as approval of arms sales were considered pressure points to influence governments, she said.

This was done to potentially reduce previously reported spermatogenesis defects in *Hmga2*^−/−^ mice ([@r5]), without affecting the influence of *HMGA2* on overall body size. *HMGA2*^−/−Stra8^ colonies were identified by PCR screening followed by sequencing, and 8/40 (20%) cell lines analyzed had the correct modification. To confirm functional disruption of *HMGA2* fibroblast cell lines derived from *HMGA2*^−/+^, *HMGA2*^−/−Stra8^, *HMGA2*^−/−^, and control fibroblast lines were analyzed by Western blot ([Fig. 1](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}). Both *HMGA2*^−/−^ and *HMGA2*^−/−Stra8^ cell lines showed the absence of HMGA2, while *HMGA*^−/+^cells had reduced levels compared with wild-type controls. Densitometry analysis showed that *HMGA2*^−/+^ cells had approximately half the level of HMGA2 compared with wild-type cells ([*SI Appendix*, Fig. S2](http://www.pnas.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1073/pnas.1721630115/-/DCSupplemental)).

This results in smaller litter sizes and reduced uterine crowding. The resulting pregnancies produced nine live offspring (five and four piglets per pregnancy) and one degraded mummy.

huge price spikes in off-patent drugs, but the bulk of the country’s drug-cost problem rests with high-priced branded medicines.

The Association for Accessible Medicines, the generic-drug lobby, came out firmly against the legislation.

“When generics provide Americans with nine out of 10 of their prescriptions at only 23 percent of total spending on drugs, it is hard to fathom why anyone would call this system broken or insist that the government commandeer the business of developing, manufacturing and distributing these medicines,” the group told POLITICO. At best, it said, “this legislation is an unrealistic distraction from policies that would meaningfully reduce drug prices, such as combating patent abuse and cultivating a robust biosimilars market.” Like generics, biosimilars are cheaper versions of drugs known as biologics — which are often veryI decided to play the étude and Schubert piece for my next recital at the community college.

Theory-based gender-transformative interventions focused on changing men\'s relations with women in South Africa and in Sweden have


a role model figure. Players supported one another and assigned leadership roles based on a collective desire to play soccer. It affirms the assertion that masculinities are fluid, not fixed, protected and defended, constantly broken down and recreated, not inherited or acquired in a one-off way (Cornwall & Lindisfarne, [@CIT0022]). It also affirms that the roles participants played in the Champions League soccer programme were the source of conflicts and conflicting messages. Here we see the struggle and contestation for social positions that exist relationally between men that Coles (Coles, [@CIT0018]) writes about. Habitus, or strategy without strategic intent (Calhoun et al., [@CIT0011]) is embedded within a system of hegemonic masculinity. Young men were able to resist on an individual level despite structural hierarchies remaining in place.

Gangs and Championsof their fellow players and the opportunity for vocational training. Crises, such as apartheid in South Africa afford opportunities to thwart historically gendered subject positions due to the pressure of expectations about self-identity/social position or the inability to receive expected satisfactions or rewards from taking up a particular gendered subject position or mode of subjectivity. For example, violence is often the outcome of an inability to control other people\'s sexual behaviour, or rather, other people\'s management of themselves as engendered individuals. In other words, the behaviour of others threatens the self-representation and social evaluations of oneself.

Conclusions {#S005}
===========

Using soccer as a vehicle for behaviour change combined with job training is a culturally compelling development tool in South Africa (Jane Rotheram-Borus et al., [@CIT0036]). It attracts a larger number of people,

Recently, dutasteride, a dual 5ARI, has been used for the treatment of AGA in the clinic, showing a different mechanism and strong therapeutic effect.[@b10-cia-14-399] Dutasteride may provide an alternative treatment for men with AGA after the inconspicuous efficacy of finasteride. Currently, there is not enough


evidence to show the merit and demerit of the two drugs.

We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dutasteride and finasteride in treating AGA during a 24-week treatment cycle.

Materials and methods
=====================

Study design
------------

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was carried out using the PRISMA[@b11-cia-14-399] checklist.

Search strategy
---------------

We searched MEDLINE (1990 to August 2018), EMBASE (1995 to August 2018), and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register to collect studies investigating dutasteride vs finasteride in treating men with AGA. The search formula was as follows: "dutasteride, finasteride, androgenetic alopecia, and RCT". The authors were contacted to offer further information from their research if necessary. Furthermore, we also searched the reference list of related articles.

Inclusion criteria and trial selection
--------------------------------------

RCTs that met the following criteria were included: 1) dutasteride vsthe MD was 0.25 and 95% CI was 0.18--0.31 (*P*\<0.00001). We found significant differences between the dutasteride group and finasteride group in the panel global photographic assessment for the vertex and frontal views.

### Subjects' assessment

Three RCTs enrolling 576 patients (290 in the dutasteride group and 286 in the finasteride group) ([Figure 3](#f3-cia-14-399){ref-type="fig"}) contained data on the subjects' assessment. The heterogeneity test showed *P*=0.02, so we adopted the random-effects model, the MD was 0.56 and 95% CI was 0.18--0.94 (*P*=0.003). We found statistical differences between the dutasteride group and finasteride group in the subjects' assessment.

Safety

Conway said on “Fox News Sunday” that Trump wants to find “the fair and humane way” to address the issue.

Last week, Pena Nieto — who has been critical of Trump's insistence that Mexico would pay for the wall — invited both the Republican nominee and Democrat Hillary Clinton to visit his country. Trump confirmed on Twitter late Tuesday that he had accepted Pena Nieto’s invitation.

Clinton, though, took a shot at Trump’s trip during an address earlier Wednesday to the American Legion convention in Cincinnati.

Legislation.gov.uk

Legislation.gov.uk, formerly the UK Statute Law Database, is the official web-accessible database of the statute law of the United Kingdom, hosted by The National Archives. It contains all primary legislation in force since 1267, and all secondary legislation since 1823; it does not include legislation which was fully repealed prior to 1991. The contents have been revised to reflect legislative changes up to 2002, with material that has been amended since 2002 fully updated and searchable.

New Statute Law Database

In December 2008 the Statute Law Database team transferred to The National Archives, which meant that the responsibility for the Office of Public Sector Information and SLD websites became the responsibility of one department. A major consideration of the transfer was to enable the rationalisation of the two websites in  Learn React

to talk to him. But first I had to knock on this door.

The door flung open, and Hannah careened into me. I stumbled back.

"What the hell?" Jamie's sister staggered back, too. She was carrying a red duffel bag that thunked against the doorframe.

"Hey," I said. Oh _crap_. I hadn't expected this. "Is—uh—is Jamie home?"

She narrowed her eyes. "He's home. Because he's sleeping."

"Of course," I said, backing up a little. "That makes sense."

Hannah popped her gum. She was four years younger than I was and athletic and kind of scary. She was always skipping school to go shopping in Kichijoji. Mika and I had seen her once, hopping the fence at the back of the football field. She was the type of person who'd get thrown out of boardingwhite paper cup.

"Issit morning?" I asked.

"Yeah, technically," he said, with more energy than I could have dreamed of mustering. "Get up. There is a couch to sit on."

I closed my eyes. Bright green spots popped behind my eyelids. "I can't. Someone's there."

"He left."

I propped myself up on my elbows. Jamie was right. There was no one there anymore. No man in skinny jeans. "Did he leave because of me?" I asked. "Did I scare him off?" And more importantly, had I been snoring? Or drooling? I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand just to make sure. It came away with a final, faded smear of red.

"No," Jamie said. "He left because I gave him a green tea latte. By the way, I've only got one


tumor size in hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer, in as many as 79% to 91% of patients \[[@B4]\]. Comparable tumor shrinkage has been reported in other metastatic liver malignancies.

Yttrium-90 microspheres can cause tissue damage due to aberrant dissemination of radioactivity to nontarget parts of the GI tract or normal hepatic tissue ([Figure 3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}). The reported incidence of GI complications after SIRT for hepatic neoplasia varies widely \[[@B7]\]. Procedure-related morbidity is as low as 5% with strict adherence to contemporary protocols \[[@B8]\]. As in our patient, radiation-induced gastric or duodenal ulceration is caused predominantly by direct mucosal radiation injury from pure beta-radiation. Additionally, mechanical occlusion of arterioles by the 30 *µ*m microspheres can contribute to ischemic injury \[[@B1]\]. The finding that ulcerations typically do not occur after transarterial chemoembolization orexample:
$$\psi(3x^2-5x)=-5x^2+3x$$
Did this help?

A:

The idea here is that the set $\{1,x,x^2,\dots,x^n,\dots\}$ is a basis for the set of all polynomials.
Take your favorite polynomial $p(x)$, and write it down as:
$$p(x) = 1 + 2x +15x^2 + x^4$$
(or whatever the polynomial ends up being).
We can view this as a linear combination of basis "vectors":
$$p(x) = e_0 + 2e_1 + 15e_2 + e_4$$
where $e_i = x^i$.
In terms of this basis, you want a linear transformation $T$ such that $T(e_1) = e_2$ and $T(e_2) = e_1$, but $T(e_i) = e_i$ for all other $i$.
We can't exactly write down a matrix for this (because the transformation is between two infinite-dimensional vector spaces), but if we could it'd look like:
$$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & \dots & 0 \\ 0 & 0

But how did a flag born out of the American Civil War end up at a political rally in Poland in 2017? Groups across Europe have embraced the flag for their respective causes for years, and experts say some of its European fans don’t understand what the rebel flag really represents in U.S. history.

WOJTEK RADWANSKI via Getty Images A far-right activist in Warsaw, Poland, holds a Confederate flag and a White Pride flag while taking part in a July 2015 demonstration against accepting over 2,000 immigrants to the country.

Mark Pitcavage, senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, says Europeans who use the flag can typically be divided into three groups.

First, he said, there are the out-and-proud racists.

“White supremacists in Europe will often use American hatesmaller states, as the European Union did Poland,” Gonzalez wrote.

“As for Trump, I am neutral. I am here against the EU and forced migration,” the man told Gonzalez, referring to the EU requirement that member states take in a certain number of the millions of refugees fleeing wars in the Middle East.

to transmit the virus.

It's been accepted wisdom among gay men and our doctors ever since the early successes of the "AIDS cocktail" of retroviral drugs that reducing the viral load in the bloodstream and other bodily fluids of those with HIV would also reduce dramatically the risk that they could infect others. At least according to this new study, that assumption was false.

The riskiest type of sexual activity was receptive anal sex with ejaculation into the rectum; each such act carried a 1.43 percent risk of contracting HIV. If a man's partner withdrew before ejaculation, the risk dropped to 0.65 percent. Circumcised men had a 0.11 percent risk of contracting HIV for every insertive sex act, while the risk for circumcised men was 0.62 percent.

The findings are "veryto the
president that the largely homosexual population here at home.

Because
on the domestic AIDS front, Bush reverted to the Reagan-Bush policy of
malign neglect, setting policy with almost total disregard for the
health of gay and bisexual Americans, who remained at the greatest risk
of contracting HIV.

HIV prevention policy under Bush emphasized
abstinence only until marriage, ignoring the cruel irony that this same
administration was actively working to prevent gays from marrying. Did
he really expect gay men to abstain from sex our entire lives?

It
wasn’t just in AIDS policy that W. treated us not just as second class
citizens of this country, but worse even than foreigners. In yet
another irony, this additional smack in the face came from a regulation
that may actually mark the first time the U.S. government recognized

to Congress, and is held accountable for its results. No more ceremonial offices on Lafayette Square or in the White House, which have too often served only as a political shop since the beginning. Real policy responsibilities, on a real timetable, and real accountability.

And Congress must be held to account as well. This idea that one or the other is the "better" party on AIDS is now shown for the charade that it is. The Republicans have been the ones who delivered on funding and reforms far and above the Democrats before or after them, but they've also been playing ideological and religious politics with AIDS since the beginning, from gay-bashing in the early days to ineffective abstinence-only and absurd anti-condom prevention requirements today, at the expense ofpeople's lives. The Democrats have been long on sweet words and militant political support against discrimination (with the exception of visa policy, in which they failed miserably and were cowards until finally rectifying it this year), but have also been shamelessly provincial on funding formulas and naggingly resistent to now-desperately needed reforms in the system.

Finally, we need to heed the growing clamor from the CDC and adopt routine HIV testing in every state and territory. CDC director Julie Gerberding has been crying out in the dark to both her own administration and to Congress on this for too long. Her agency published recommendations, and then guidelines, years ago which call for making HIV testing with informed consent a routine part of medical care for all Americans aged 13


bill. This means that barring something completely unforeseen, the Senate will pass PEPFAR including the lifting of the ban. Then, it must survive a House-Senate conference and final passage, but all reports are that the House has already agreed to including the measure, and the White House also supports it. Perhaps we should rename the amendment repealing the HIV travel ban after Jesse Helms instead. Any takers?

I’m in Yosemite National Park, but just learned that former North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms has died at the age of 86. I am not sad.

Helms did more damage to the gay rights movement than any other single person I can think of in the Senate. One particular piece of legislation Helms is responsible for is his infamousignored the guidelines for too long, but state and local governments are finally realizing they have no choice. The high number of people, mostly men of color, receiving late diagnoses and entering treatment after the onset of AIDS, reflects a total failure in our national AIDS strategy. Routine testing has been the missing element. In New York City, the Bronx has decided it must find every way possible to ensure that every adult in the borough gets tested within the next three years.

Even First Lady Laura Bush says that HIV-related stigma must be ended, and that it is imperative that every American get tested for HIV. Barack Obama himself got a public HIV test when he visited Kenya. President Bush's global HIV/AIDS relief program (PEPFAR) is awaiting approval

Theoretical application {#s005}
-----------------------

Digital health technologies, as a cue to action within the health belief model (HBM) as seen in [Figure 1](#f1){ref-type="fig"}, can impact the health decision making among adolescent and newly transitioned college students.^[@B22]^ This is especially important when communicating messages about HPV and the HPV vaccine because research has shown that adolescents and college students alike are unaware of their risk of contracting the disease and how the HPV virus can be contracted. Because of this, the purpose of this research study is to determine how health care providers can utilize digital health technologies (such as


was electronically obtained, participants were promoted to begin the survey. No incentives were offered by researchers for participating in the survey, however, faculty of the courses could offer extra credit if they chose to do so.

Survey instrument {#s009}
-----------------

Using validated and reliable scales found in HPV risk perception research^[@B11],[@B24]^ and questions about technology use and digital health practices from Pew Research Center\'s Mobile Health, Health Tracking and Social Media Update Surveys,^[@B27]^ researchers developed a 54-item questionnaire, the Digital Health Solutions for Informed Decision Survey. Participants could differ in their number of responses per question. Multiple responses were possible. Participants could also decline to answer any question to which they did not want to answer.

Apart from demographical information, students provided answers to items that asked about their sexual activity behavior,to receive HPV vaccine information was low for social network sites (22%), and digital gaming (13.5%; [Table 8](#T8){ref-type="table"}).

Discussion {#s013}
==========

Evidence was explored to support strategies to facilitate digital health technologies aimed at increasing risk perception of the HPV virus and awareness of the HPV vaccine. The preferred method of communication by college students to communicate HPV risk and vaccine was internet or online websites. Strategy, use of the internet, mobile phones, SMS test messages, and mobile apps to help disseminate evidence-based HPV and HPV vaccination information to adolescents and college students was explored. Currently, most college students reported not receiving text messages from health care providers as updated to health care or messages on the HPV virus. In this study, electronic surveys explored preferred digital health technologies in addition


Fabrication of large composite parts, such as components of aircraft, often may involve kitting, layup, assembly, and/or curing of elongate composite parts that may be many tens, or even over a hundred feet long. Fabrication of such elongate composite parts presents unique manufacturing challenges.
Traditional manufacturing methods for fabricating composite parts include manually locating a plurality of plies of composite material on a layup mandrel to form a composite layup, with each ply of the plurality of plies generally being coextensive with a remainder of the plurality of plies in the composite part. The composite layup subsequently is cured, on the layup mandrel, to form the composite part. While such traditional manufacturing methods may be effective at forming smaller composite parts, they may be inefficient when applied to forminga field set by the constructor to a specific context. So a context is wrapped and the ContextWrapper delegates its implementation of the getAssets() method to that context. Let’s get back to examining the Activity class which ultimately inherits from Context to see how this all works.

You probably know what an Activity is, but to review — it’s basically ‘a single thing the user can do. It takes care of providing a window in which to place the UI that the user interacts with. Developers familiar with other APIs and even non-developers might think of it vernacularly as a “screen.” That’s technically inaccurate, but it doesn’t matter for our purposes. So how do Activity and Context interact and what exactly is going in their inheritance relationship?

Again, it’s helpful


programming when it comes to Android. For some reason, people try to bend their Android development to pre-conceived paradigms or learned behaviors.

Android has it’s own paradigm and a certain pattern that is actually quite consistent if let go of your preconceived notions and simply read the documentation and dev guide. My real point, however, while “getting the right context” can sometimes be tricky, people unjustifiably panic because they run into a situation where they need the context and think they don’t have it. Once again, Java is an object-oriented language with an inheritance design.

You only “have” the context inside of your Activity because your activity itself inherits from Context. There’s no magic to it (except for the all the stuff the OS does by itself to set variousthe positive role of farmers or community seed networks in maintaining agricultural diversity (Coomes et al. [@CR23] and references therein).

Simultaneously, public plant breeding and variety testing schemes have been strongly down-sized, while private companies concentrate more and more on a limited assortment of cash crops in an economically highly competitive market. Currently, mainstream large plant breeding companies in industrialized countries have their own Research and Development departments to increase speed and efficiency of the breeding process including marker-assisted selection based on the opportunities offered by genomics (and other "omics") in combination with advanced processing techniques of big data and modeling approaches (Yin and Struik [@CR139]). These developments require large investments in technologies and human resources. The rapid increase in technological opportunities in the primary process of creating genetic


on ecological relationships, for example the interactions of crop plants with beneficial soil organisms, such as mycorrhizas, to enhance efficient nutrient uptake (Gewin [@CR50]; Galván et al. [@CR45]), from knowledge on physiological processes affecting traits contributing to nitrogen use efficiency (Lammerts van Bueren and Struik [@CR82]), and from knowledge on plant plasticity under climate change leading to irregular weather patterns (Nicotra et al. [@CR103]). Typically, breeding initiatives in this orientation are funded publicly or through international institutions.

The strengths of this orientation are the long-term holistic perspective and the focus on ecosystem health, and sustainability and on balancing trade-offs (Table [2](#Tab2){ref-type="table"}). However, this breeding approach includes complex traits and requires many years of experience to acquire in-depth and site-specific knowledge and innovative tools for effective selection. Breeding technologies usedbest. In that sense, the corporate-based breeding orientation often makes use of trait-based approaches. Corporate-based breeding is primarily focused on the continuity of the business and has to cope with competition, resulting in market-driven firms, which concentrate on those crops or globally adapted cultivars that provide the best profit. Corporate breeding companies may range from very small companies operating at national level to multinational companies operating at international level (Barnes et al. [@CR6]). Essential in this orientation is the goal-driven, linear-economy thinking, including a top-down organization of the breeding and seed production activities.

There is an increasing need for a quick return on investments, making it necessary to protect the intellectual properties with patents on (parts of) the technology developed as is common in other industries (Howard [@CR64]). It
