a large proportion of identified SNPs map to non‐coding regions of the genome, where it is not straightforward to assign a functional mechanism to genetic variants [12](#voxs12217-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"}. Furthermore, owing to linkage disequilibrium (LD), many genetic variants are typically associated with the phenotype at any given genomic locus, hindering efforts to identify the exact variant responsible for the effect (causal variant) [13](#voxs12217-bib-0013){ref-type="ref"}.

Developing and implementing approaches to aid the interpretation of causal SNPs, and assigning a functional mechanism for how each variant alters a phenotype or disease state, represent an important present challenge to the field. Demonstrating potential functionality to trait‐associated variants is a necessary condition for definitive assignment of causality. Therefore, to reflect the difficulty in identifying causal variants, we refer to putative causal candidates as functional variants forinteractions by utilizing formaldehyde‐directed cross‐linking of genomic modules that are close in physical space [48](#voxs12217-bib-0048){ref-type="ref"}. For example, using ChIA‐PET and 5C, GWAS variants located in open chromatin (DNAse‐I hypersensitive sites) were found to control distant genes associated with relevant phenotypes [12](#voxs12217-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"}. Specifically, the SNP rs385893 associated with platelet count is located in a DHS site and physically interacts with its target gene, *JAK2*, which plays an important role in platelet formation with mutations in this gene being associated with myeloproliferative disorders [12](#voxs12217-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"}. Further development in this area now enables the high‐throughput, genomewide application of these techniques to assigning gene targets to variants. Novel methods such as Capture‐C and Capture‐HiC enable simultaneous assessment of genomewide SNP targets through the addition of an enrichment step using probes to select defined


it is worth trying to see where present trends are headed. Yes, it is also worthwhile trying to imagine future conflicts and their nature. But we ought to be humble, recognize the limits of foresight, and be ready to adapt to the inevitable surprises that occur.

IT'S game day. The Socceroos play The Netherlands in their second round games and it's an early kick-off.

After an early morning stroll and some time in the sun on one of Salvador's many beautiful beaches, we make our way to the FIFA fan fest site - a specifically set up location to enable all fans to watch the games as one in a unique atmosphere.

As we arrive 30 minutes before kick-off we find that in true relaxed Brazilian style this game will not be televised at the fan zone.

Wind back 24 hours and an estimated 10,000-15,000 fans packed the site to witness the Brazil v Mexico game. That was in an amazing atmosphere, showcasing just how passionate the Brazilian fans can be . The result


conditions can provide features at the same spatial location. The last step is feature extraction, as shown in Step 3 of [Figure 3](#sensors-19-02985-f003){ref-type="fig"}. This step creates the iris feature vectors in a specific data format, e.g., a binary string.

There are many existing algorithms for extracting iris features from an iris image, such as Masek's algorithm \[[@B5-sensors-19-02985]\] and the algorithm in \[[@B31-sensors-19-02985]\]. In this paper, VeriEye SDK (Software Development Kit) \[[@B32-sensors-19-02985]\] from Neuro Technology is adopted to extract iris features. Assume that $F$ is the original iris feature extracted by VeriEye SDK. This feature vector contains 2348 bytes, each of which is an integer in the range of \[0, 255\]. To reduce intra-class variation and also convert the integer values into binary, in this work, quantization is applied toSecond one is security. We are allowing users to change server configuration.

The field of this invention accordingly relates to Group VIII metal catalysts for hydrogenation and purification of terephthalic acid suitable for polyester polymers and copolymers useful in the manufacture of textile fibers. These polymers and copolymers have been made by condensing terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol and other dihydric alcohols.
As with other supported catalysts, the activity and selectivity of a Group VIII metal catalyst upon a carrier depends on numerous factors such as the amount of Group VIII metal or metals present in the catalyst, the type of support, the method by which the Group VIII metal is deposited and the distribution of the metal on the support.
Such Group VIII catalysts are limited in their ability to selectivity hydrogenate impurities in the terephthalic acid, especiallykernel (but of course, there is the Community Edition for those interested in improving the TouchPad).

Reead that second sentence from the official Open webOS Project blog again. You read that correctly, Open webOS that HP so graciously gave to the open source world will not work on any existing webOS device. That means it will never work on the TouchPad nor any of the webOS phones owned by HP's loyal customer base.

Is the inability to run on existing devices due to insufficient hardware? No, it's due to the "many proprietary components" that preclude ever running Open webOS. That's strange since HP, which is behind the Open webOS effort, also owns the existing HP webOS line.

To be fair the support for the Linux 3.3+ kernel is a legitimate reason


HP with webOS. All the while expecting them to thank HP for the open sourcing of the webOS platform which they can't fully use to extend the life of the hardware they paid for. It's safe to say for existing customers webOS is dead. Again.

Terry D. CEJA, Plaintiff-Appellant and Cross-Appellee,
v.
Robert B. LEMIRE, Defendant-Appellee and Cross-Appellant, and
The Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 05CA0335.

CASEBOLT, J.
This action arises out of an automobile accident caused by a county employee using his personal vehicle while acting in the course and scope of his employment. Plaintiff, Terry D. Ceja, appeals the order determining that defendant, the Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County (County), is immune from liability under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (GIA),


different from our construction of the term "lease." Thus, Manor is distinguishable.
In addition, the County points to numerous cases holding that, in the context of insurance policy interpretation, an employer's payment of mileage reimbursement does not constitute a lease of the employee's vehicle. See, e.g., Twin City Fire Ins. Co. v. Alfa Mut. Ins. Co., 817 So.2d 687 (Ala.2001)(employee's use of her own vehicle to perform her duties and receipt of mileage reimbursement paid by her employer did not make the employee's car a hired automobile within the meaning of the employer's automobile policy); Ins. Co. v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 663 P.2d 953 (Alaska 1983)(mileage reimbursement paid by school district to registered owner of van, who was school district employee, constituted an "operating allowance" *1097109 P.3d 1047 (Colo.App.2005)(division found that public employee's and public entity's immunity was waived under § 24-10-106(1)(a) when a trailer, which was owned by the public entity, was attached to a truck that was owned by a private entity; consequently, division was not required to address whether there was immunity under the GIA for a privately owned vehicle); Shandy v. Lunceford, 886 P.2d 319 (Colo.App.1994)(division noted that the plain language of § 24-10-118(2)(a), C.R.S.2005, indicated that a public employee driving her own motor vehicle in the course of her employment was entitled to claim sovereign immunity; however, the plaintiffs argued that the employee was not acting in the course and scope of her employment when the accident occurred); Mentzel v. Judicial Dep't, 778 P.2d 323 (Colo.App.1989)(division held that


or otherwise, which lies in tort or could lie in tort regardless of whether that may be the type of action or the form of relief chosen by a claimant and which arises out of an act or omission of such employee occurring during the performance of his duties and within the scope of his employment unless the act or omission causing such injury was willful and wanton; except that no such immunity may be asserted in an action for injuries resulting from the circumstances specified in section 24-10-106(1).
Section 24-10-106(1) sets forth six circumstances in which immunity may be waived. As noted previously, § 24-10-106(1)(a) provides that "sovereign immunity is waived by a public entity in an action for injuries resulting from . . . the operation ofof the statute.
For these reasons, we conclude that the trial court erred in determining that Lemire's *1099 immunity was waived under § 24-10-106(1)(a) for the operation of a motor vehicle.

III. Attorney Fees
The County has requested an award of its costs and attorney fees pursuant to § 13-17-201, C.R.S.2005. We agree that an award is required. See Smith v. Town of Snowmass Village, 919 P.2d 868 (Colo.App.1996)(award of attorney fees is mandatory when a court dismisses an action under the GIA for lack of subject matter jurisdiction).
That part of the order dismissing Ceja's claim against the County is affirmed. That part of the order denying immunity to Lemire is reversed, and the case is remanded to the trial court with directions to dismiss Ceja's claims against Lemire and to

The invention relates to a roll-down shutter comprising a rotating, self-locking winding shaft having coilable shutter-armor made of linked interconnected shutter elements, whereby the top-most shutter element is attached to the winding shaft.
Various methods are already known for increasing the security of roll-down shutters. One such method consists of a self-locking winding shaft that is provided with a worm drive which is only rotatable by a hand crank or a motor, that can be self-turned by motor cutoff or hand-crank and not by attacking the winding shaft. A suitable formation of the top-most shutter element together with subsequent shutter elements (usually in a shutter box), prevents any unauthorized pushing up of the shutter armor. A previous weakness was the attachment of the top-most shutter element onto the exhaust-shaft,on the winding shaft and a second binding section on the top-most shutter element in the axial direction of the shaft. The first binding section is joined to the second binding section to attach the shaft to the top-most shutter element--preferably with some looseness (play). With the assembly of the roll-down shutter, the two binding sections can simply be pushed into one another in axial direction and held together in closed-shape, whereby a removal of the top-most shutter element in any radial direction out of the winding shaft is not possible. Since a radial pushing out of the top-most shutter element is not possible with insertion into the winding shaft and releasable binding agents such as screws, bolts, or similar are not provided, the top-most shutter element cannot

Speciation and evaluation of Arsenic in surface water and groundwater samples: a multivariate case study.
The principal object of the current study was to estimate total arsenic and its inorganic speciation in different origins of surface water (n=480) and groundwater (n=240) of Sindh, Pakistan. This study provided a description based on the evaluation of physico-chemical parameters of collected water samples and possible distribution of As with respect to its speciation. The concentration of total inorganic As (iAs) and its species (As(3+) and As(5+)) for the surface and underground water was reported in terms of basic statistical parameters, principal component analysis, cluster analysis, metal-to-metal correlations and linear regression analyses. The chemical correlations were observed by PCA, which were used to classify the samples by CA, based on the PCA scores.Beşiktaş, including a Round of 16 appearance in 2017-18 UEFA Champions League.

in @vdw12. Typical objects are 1.0$\pm$0.1 kpc in both the $J_{F125W}$- and $H_{F160W}$-bands.

These dynamical masses are listed in Table \[tab:dp\], ranging from $10^{8.39}$ to $10^{10.6} ~{M_{\odot}}$, with a median mass of $10^{9.13}~{M_{\odot}}$. The uncertainty in the dynamical mass estimate comes primarily from the systematic uncertainty in the proportionality constant of 3, which relates the intrinsic velocity $v$ to the observed velocity dispersion $\sigma$, which we assume to be the same factor of 33% as @rix, since in most cases our observed line widths and physical sizes are well-constrained. Further details can be found in @maseda. @amorin12, in a study of “green peas,” observe multiple star-forming regions and gas flows which is seen as asymmetries and broad, low-intensity wings. While we do not see such clear evidence for outflowsthe results from this study, orange points are the values from @vdw, the red point is from @erb10, the green point is from @gb2, the blue lines are the results for the high/low-z bins of star-forming galaxies in @fumagalli, and the green lines are the results for the characteristic sSFR (SFR\*/M$_{\star}$, see the text for details) for narrow-band selected star-forming galaxies in @sobral. The diagonal dotted line represents the nominal detection limit from the 3D-HST survey of 2.8 ${M_{\odot}}$ yr$^{-1}$ at $z \sim 1.5$. The sSFRs are averaged over 10 Myr.[]{data-label="fig:ssfr"}](f6.eps){width="47.50000%"}

The extreme nature of the star-formation in these systems is clearly seen in Figure \[fig:ssfr\]. The stellar masses measured here are beginning to probe the same regime as @vdw and @gb2, with similar sSFR values. Note that the


$H_{F160W}$-sizes, as well as the sizes of the emission lines in the grism spectra, rule out the presence of a strong point source dominating the emission.

An exception could be *COSMOS-12102*, illustrated by the star in Figure \[fig:mex\], which is also has the largest line width in our sample. @reines find active black holes in similar mass dwarf galaxies with broad H$\alpha$ emission in the local Universe with $M_{BH} \lesssim 10^6~{M_{\odot}}$. Using their relation (Equation 5) of $L_{H\alpha}$ and FWHM$_{H\alpha}$ to $M_{BH}$, *COSMOS-12102* has a black hole mass of $\sim 10^{6.2}~{M_{\odot}}$, which is in their observed range. The mass determination is fraught with systematic uncertainties, such as variations in the geometry of the broad-line region and that at least some of the H$\alpha$ luminosity comes from star formation, butto other methods, namely the aforementioned N2 method and also the O3N2 method, both from PP04; O3N2 is the (log) ratio \[O III\]$\lambda\lambda$4959, 5007/H$\beta$/N2. For both methods, uncertainties include contributions from the error in the line ratios as well as the systematic scatter in the relations. If H$\beta$ is not detected at more than 1$\sigma$ in our LUCI1 or X-Shooter spectrum, we estimate the \[O III\]/H$\beta$ ratio from the grism spectrum. Also note that in the two instances where the N2 method is used the @maiolino calibration results in metallicities consistent with the PP04 values. Results are displayed in Table \[tab:z\], with a median $12 + \log(O/H)$ value of 7.90 (0.15 ${Z_{\odot}}$). This value agrees well with the median `MAGPHYS`-derived metallicity of 0.17 ${Z_{\odot}}$ for the full sample.

As the legalization of marijuana in Canada approaches, two city councillors want to get a head start on setting the rules and regulations.

In a letter heading to London’s planning and environment committee on Monday, Jesse Helmer and Jared Zaifman say they want to start planning early, so when legalization is approved, London will be ready.

READ MORE: Questions remain for local leaders around the legalization of marijuana

“Zoning amendments will take four to six months to research, consult the public on, and consider at committee and council. We believe it is prudent to give our planning staff sufficient time to review and report back,” Helmer and Zaifman write.

“A major question to be explored is whether locations authorized to sell cannabis will be considered underrollout.

In September, Reid told reporters, "Let's stop these really juvenile political games -- the one dealing with health care for senators and House members and our staff. We are going to be part of exchanges, that's what the law says and we'll be part of that."

That's true. Reid and his personal staff will buy insurance through the exchange.

But it's also true that the law lets lawmakers decide if their committee


and leadership staffers hold on to their federal employee insurance plans, an option Reid has exercised.

Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson emphasized, "We are just following the law."

But Republicans are already taking aim.

"I'm sure that regular Americans who just lost their insurance will feel comforted to know that Senator Reid's staff gets to keep their government plan," a senior GOP Senate aide said.

Former Reid staffer Jim Manley defended his old boss, arguing that "the only people hypocritical here are Republicans, who made this an issue in the first place."

And all four House and Senate leaders are required to relinquish their federal employee insurance plans next year and are choosing to enroll in the exchanges.I have only received half of my gift, but the half that I received so far is pretty awesome!!!!

to the sample and loses a photon to the environment. In addition, the thermal noise of the junction capacitance becomes appreciable for small capacitance values. These effects may be small, but they are non-negligible at low temperatures, especially in the context of ultimate energy resolution.

The so-called $P(E)$-theory quantifies the energy exchange with the environment, where the $P(E)$-function describes the probability of a tunneling electron to emit or absorb a photon to or from the environment [@devoret_effect_1990; @averin_incoherent_1990; @ingold_cooper-pair_1994; @ingold_charge_1992; @ingold_finite-temperature_1991]. The $P(E)$-theory has already been successfully applied in many instances, where tunneling electrons interact with the surrounding electromagnetic impedance. Examples are the Josephson effect in the charge tunneling regime [@ingold_cooper-pair_1994; @hofheinz_bright_2011], as well as general dynamic Coulomb blockade effects [@delsing_effect_1989; @devoret_effect_1990; @brun_dynamical_2012; @serrier-garcia_scanning_2013]. These two examples represent specialfit parameters are the principal resonance frequency $\omega_0$ and a damping factor $\alpha$. The dc resistance $Z(0)$ is fixed at the vacuum impedance value of 376.73$\Omega$. The $P_N(E)$-function is modeled by a normalized Gaussian of width $\sigma=\sqrt{2E_Ck_BT}$ to account for the thermal voltage noise on the junction capacitor. Because both tip and sample are superconducting, we define the charging energy $E_C=Q^2/2C_J$ using the charge of a Cooper pair ($Q=2e$) [@ingold_cooper-pair_1994], which makes it four times higher than the charging energy for a singly charged quasiparticle. Including the capacitative noise has proven essential in previous descriptions of the tunneling current as well [@jack_nanoscale_2015].

The experiments were carried out in an STM operating at a base temperature of 15mK [@assig_10_2013]. We use an Al tip and an Al(100) sample [@si], which


is superconducting at 15mK (transition temperature $T_C=1.1\,$K). Aluminum has a very BCS-like density of states with minimal intrinsic broadening [@giaever_tunneling_1962], which is why it is an excellent material for demonstrating the broadening effects in a tunnel junction, as we will show in the following.

In order to demonstrate the influence of the $P(E)$-function on density of states measurements, we have to independently determine the $P(E)$-function from a separate measurement. Since every tip in an STM is slightly different, we have to determine the $P(E)$-function for every tip separately. As both tip and sample are superconducting at 15mK, the most straightforward way to experimentally determine the $P(E)$-function is through the Josephson effect. In the sequential charge tunneling regime, where the charging energy $E_C$ is larger than the Josephson energy $E_J$of whether the tip and/or sample are superconducting or not. We note that this empirical equation holds for capacitive noise from Cooper pairs. For noise from quasiparticles, we expect the $P(E)$-broadening to be reduced by about one half. At or below 1K, the $P(E)$-broadening definitely has to be taken into account when optimizing the energy resolution. The optimizing strategy will be to increase the junction capacitance by appropriate *ex situ* tip shaping on a macroscopic scale (up to mm-scale). Increasing the junction capacitance will increase the crosstalk between tip and sample, so that a trade-off between energy resolution and STM performance will have to be made.

Due to the asymmetry of the $P(E)$-function, the spectral features in the density of states will not only be broadened, but may also


a few iterations. Treating the integral as a convolution, the calculation can be done very efficiently numerically. Care should be taken to extend the integral range to sufficiently large energies, while at the same time having a high enough numerical point density. Other than the impedance $Z_T(\omega)$, the temperature $T$ is a fit parameter in this part of the $P(E)$-function calculation.

The $P_N(E)$-function for the thermal capacitative noise of the tunnel junction has proven a non-negligible part of the total $P(E)$-function. The low frequency capacitative noise $P_N(E)$ is modeled by a Gaussian [@ingold_cooper-pair_1994]: $$P_N(E)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi E_C k_BT}}\exp\left[-\frac{E^2}{4E_Ck_BT}\right]$$ where $E_C=Q^2/2C_J$ is the charging energy for Cooper pairs ($Q=2e$). The $P_N(E)$-function does not introduce any new fit parameters as the junction capacitance $C_J$ as well as the temperature $T$ are already definedthe last stage of polymerization, the pump must have a pump-out pressure higher than the polymerization pressure, requiring a great mechanical energy. Because of such a great mechanical energy, particles contained in the aqueous antioxidant dispersion tend to break or aggregate in the pump at its ball check valve and so forth to which the mechanical energy is most applied especially when the dispersion is being fed. As the result, solid matter may accumulate at such portions to hinder the constant-rate feeding and may further block up the interior of the pump, making it impossible to feed the dispersion. The method (2) has such a great problem. This may seriously occur especially when the pump has a high pump-out pressure, and may cause a great difficulty when the

Updated at 5 a.m. ET on Tuesday

Hurricane Florence is growing in size and strength as it barrels toward the Southeastern U.S. for an expected landfall in the Carolinas later this week as an "extremely dangerous hurricane," according to the National Hurricane Center.

A hurricane watch has been issued for the U.S. east coast from Edisto Beach, South Carolina to North Carolina-Virginia border, including the Pamlico and Albemarle sounds., with storm surge watches encompassing the same area.

Swells generated by the hurricane are already affecting portions of the East Coast and Bermuda. The center said the powerful waves areadded, parts of North Carolina and Virginia could see rain totals of 10-15 inches over the next seven days.

As of 5 a.m. ET Tuesday, Florence was moving at 15 mph, some 500 miles south-southeast of Bermuda, the hurricane center said.

As it nears the U.S. Atlantic shore, Florence will also benefit from "very warm" sea surface temperatures of up to 85 degrees, the hurricane center said.

As meteorologist Stu Ostro of The Weather Channel reports via Twitter, since 1851, only four Category 4 hurricanes have made landfall north of Florida on the East Coast. The northernmost landfall was made by Hazel, a devastating and deadly storm that struck close to the South Carolina/North Carolina border in October 1954.

Forecasters say Florence will pass between Bermuda and the Bahamas on Tuesday and

Bevacizumab inhibits corneal neovascularization in an alkali burn induced model of corneal angiogenesis.
New and uncontrolled blood vessel development in the cornea is a pivotal process in the pathogenesis of several corneal diseases. These corneal diseases may finally cause blindness and managing them therapeutically is problematic. The data supporting a causal role for vascular endothelial growth factor in corneal neovascularization are extensive. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of subconjunctival bevacizumab (Avastin) on experimental corneal neovascularization in rabbits. Chemical cauterization of the cornea was performed by touching central cornea with a 5-mm-diameter NaOH-soaked cotton applicator for 10 s in 20 eyes of 20 White New Zealand rabbits. The rabbits were then divided randomly into two equal groups. Bevacizumab (2.5 mg) was administered to 10 eyes (group 1) by

substantially upward or vertically from the luminaire, performance may be achieved in present luminaires without providing fascia glow. Alternatively, in an indirect luminaire, conventional units may provide fascia glow, or luminosity, but unacceptable performance. As used in this document, the term xe2x80x9cfasciaxe2x80x9d generally refers to a variously shaped member that is selected and designed to emit light through the member. Thus, fascia may include a member made from glass, Plexiglas, various plastics, resins. Fascia also may include any material in which a wide variety of voids have been formed to create aesthetic lighting results. Thus, fascia may include trademarks, company names, almost any decorative addition imaginable, that may be etched, painted, or otherwise placed on the fascia member.
Therefore, a previously unaddressed need exists in the industry for ause a single source of light, or a lamp, that is removably positionable in the luminaire to provide the Simultaneous Tripartite Advantages.
Yet another advantage of the system for directing light from a luminaire is that a variety of different lamps may be installed in the luminaire to satisfy varying demands for the quality and quantity of light.
Another advantage of the present invention is the ability to etch or otherwise decorate fascia of the apparatus to cast a variety of aesthetically unusual light designs from the luminaire.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is a luminaire, and a method for manufacturing a luminaire, which respectively are easy to use and to practice, and which are cost effective for their intended purposes.
These and other advantages of the present invention are


light from the lamp that is not reflected front the optical surface, but instead passes through the opening in the optical surface to the multiple surface reflector assembly. A window may be mounted in the opening for focusing or filtering the transmitted light toward the multiple surface reflector assembly. In addition, a luminous direct fascia is provided. The luminous direct fascia may be slidably engageable or fixed in the housing, and is formed to emit direct light in the form of luminosity. In addition, means are provided that may be connected to the housing for energizing the lamp. Means mountable to the housing are provided for attaching the luminaire to an object, such as the surface of a wall.
It will become apparent to one skilled in the artthat the claimed subject matter as a whole, including the structure of the apparatus, and the cooperation of the elements of the apparatus, combine to result in a number of unexpected advantages and utilities. The advantages and objects of the present invention, and features of such a system for directing light from a luminaire, will become apparent to those skilled in the art when read in conjunction with the accompanying following description, drawing figures, and appended claims.
The foregoing has outlined broadly the more important features of the invention to better understand the detailed description which follows, and to better understand the contribution of the present invention to the art.

diffusion equation as well as an obvious but important fact of the formulation. Section \[sec:pp\] presents the detailed post-processing technique for the general formulation. Section \[sec:ana\] shows an analysis of the technique to establish the convergence of the post-processed quantity to the true one. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the technique, to confirm the convergence rates as well as to illustrate the validity of the local conservation in Section \[sec:num\].

Streamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin Method {#sec:supg}
========================================

We consider the advection diffusion equation $$\label{pde}
\begin{cases}
\begin{aligned}
 \nabla \cdot ( -k\nabla u + \boldsymbol{v} u ) & =f \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega, \\
u&= g \quad \text{on} \quad \partial\Omega, \\
\end{aligned}
\end{cases}$$

where $\Omega$ is a bounded open domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with Lipschitz boundary $\partial\Omega$, $k$ is the elliptic coefficient, $\boldsymbol{v}$ is the advective velocity,\phi_z, z \in v(\tau)\}$ satisfying

$$\label{eq:bvp}
- \int_{\partial t_\xi } k \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h} \cdot \boldsymbol{n}  \ \text{d} l = \int_{t_\xi} f \ \text{d} \boldsymbol{x} - \int_{\partial t_\xi } u_h \boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbol{n}  \ \text{d} l  \quad \forall \ \xi\in v(\tau),$$

where $u_h$ is the solution of . The boundary condition satisfies $$\label{eq:bvpb}
 \int_{\partial \tau \cap \partial t_\xi } ( - k \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h}  +  u_h \boldsymbol{v} ) \cdot \boldsymbol{n}  \ \text{d} l =
\int_{\partial \tau \cap \partial t_\xi } \widetilde g_\tau  \ \text{d} l
= F^\xi - Q^\xi \quad \forall \ \xi\in v(\tau),$$

where $F^\xi = \ell_\tau(\phi_\xi)$ defined as $ \ell(\cdot)$ restricted to $\tau$ and $Q^\xi = a_\tau(u_h, \phi_\xi)$ defined as $a(\cdot, \cdot)$ restricted to $\tau.$ The existence and uniqueness of the solution


\boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbol{n} \big) \ \text{d} l = \sum_{j=1}^N Q^z_j - \sum_{j=1}^N F^z_j + \int_{C^z} f \ \text{d} \boldsymbol{x}  = \int_{C^z} f \ \text{d} \boldsymbol{x}.$$ This confirms , i.e, the local conservation is satisfied on the control volume $C^z.$

An Error Analysis for the post-processing {#sec:ana}
=========================================

In this section, we focus on establishing a convergence property of the post-processing solution $\widetilde u_{\tau, h}$ in $H^1$ semi-norm by following the analysis framework in [@bush2013application]. We start with some general properties in the linear finite element space $V(\tau)$ and then establish a lemma by using those properties. In [@bush2013application], the $H^1$ semi-norm error of the post-processed solution is bounded by mainly dealing with the diffusion term while here to establish the bound of the error, we need to deal with both\|_{L^2(\tau)}, \quad \text{for} \quad w \in V(\tau).$$

Given $w\in V(\tau)$, we multiply by $w_\xi$ (the nodal value of $w$ at $\xi$) and sum over $\xi \in v(\tau)$ to yield

$$\label{eq:bvpsum}
-\sum_{\xi\in v(\tau)} \int_{\partial t_\xi} k \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h}  \cdot \boldsymbol{n} I_\tau w \ \text{d} l = \int_\tau f I_\tau w \ \text{d} \boldsymbol{x} -  \sum_{\xi\in v(\tau)} \int_{\partial t_\xi } u_h \boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbol{n}    I_\tau w \ \text{d} l$$

and from we get

$$\label{eq:bvpbsum}
\int_{\partial \tau} ( - k \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h} \cdot \boldsymbol{n} + u_h \boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbol{n} ) I_\tau w \ \text{d} l  = \int_{\partial \tau} \widetilde g_\tau  I_\tau w \ \text{d} l,$$

where $$\label{eq:poly}
\widetilde g_\tau = \sum_{\xi \in v(\tau)} ( F^\xi - Q^\xi ) P_\xi,$$ and $P_\xi$ are polynomials of degree two in $\tau$


I_\tau e_{\tau, h} \ \text{d} \boldsymbol{x} - \int_{\partial\tau} k\nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h} \cdot \boldsymbol{n} e_{\tau, h} \ \text{d} l \\
& \quad  - \int_{\partial \tau} ( - k \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h} \cdot \boldsymbol{n} + u_h \boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbol{n} ) I_\tau e_{\tau, h} \ \text{d} l. \\
\end{aligned}$$

By assuming sufficient smoothness of $k$ and using triangle inequality yields $$\label{eq:pJ31}
\begin{aligned}
J_{31} & \leq \| \nabla k \|_{L^\infty(\tau)}  \| \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \| e_{\tau,h} - I_\tau e_{\tau,h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \\
& \leq Ch_\tau \| \nabla k \|_{L^\infty(\tau)}  \| \nabla \widetilde u_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \\
& \leq Ch_\tau \| \nabla k \|_{L^\infty(\tau)}  \| \nabla w \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}} \\
& \quad + Ch_\tau \| \nabla k \|_{L^\infty(\tau)}  \|\boldsymbol{v} ) \|_{L^2{(\tau)}} \big) \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \\
& \leq Ch_\tau \| \nabla k \|_{L^\infty(\tau)}  \| \nabla w \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}  \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}} + Ch_\tau \| \nabla k \|_{L^\infty(\tau)}  \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|^2_{L^2{(\tau)}} \\
& \quad + Ch_\tau \| \nabla \cdot (u_h \boldsymbol{v} ) \|_{L^2{(\tau)}} \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}} .
\end{aligned}$$

Using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and , we get $$\label{eq:pJ43}
J_{43}  \leq Ch_\tau \| \nabla \cdot (u_h \boldsymbol{v} ) \|_{L^2{(\tau)}} \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}.$$

By appropriately choosing $\delta$ (see [@tezduyar2000finite; @tezduyar2003stabilization] for justification), we bound $J_{44}$ by $$\label{eq:pJ44}
J_{44} \leq Ch_\tau \| \boldsymbol{v} \|_{L^2(\tau)} \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|_{L^2{(\tau)}}.$$

Based on the above derivation, can be rewritten as $$k_{\min, \tau} \| \nabla e_{\tau, h} \|^2_{L^2(\tau)} \leq J_1 + J_2 + J_{31} + J_{41} + J_{42} +


are carrier’s diffusivity, $\mu_n$ and $\mu_p$ are the carrier’s mobilities, $R$ is the recombination term, and $C$ is a constant. The existence and uniqueness of the coupled system is discussed in [@mock1983analysis; @gajewski1994uniqueness]. Numerical schemes for solving this coupled system need (1) stability when drift velocities dominate their diffusivity and (2) local conservation of electron and hole current densities [@bochev2013new]. We use CGFEM to solve the first equation in and SUPG to solve the other two equations. To obtain the local conservation for electron and hole current densities, we apply the post-processing technique to the numerical solutions.

A simple test example is presented to illustrate and verify the post-processing technique. We consider equations with

-   $\Omega = [0, 1]\times[0, 1]$

-   $C=0, \lambda =1$, $ \mu_n =semi-norm errors of both the SUPG solutions and the post-processed solutions as well as their $\| \cdot \|_{m1}$ metric are shown in Figure \[fig:drift\]. The convergence rates in these plots confirm the numerical discussion in Section \[sec:cs\], which further confirm the analysis in Section \[sec:ana\].

Similarly, enthalpy change (ΔH) of the binding was negative whereas entropy (ΔS) change of the binding was positive which indicated the exothermic and entropically driven nature of binding. This pattern of temperature dependence is characteristic of hydrophobic interaction [@pone.0069982-Gaikwad1]. As discussed earlier that all the compounds (**3a--d**) were found to interact with the active site residues of papain through hydrophobic interactions at most instances during *in silico* studies, the same was observed by the analysis of Van't Hoff plots for all the proposed inhibitors at three different temperatures (32°C, 37°C and 42°C) in wet lab experiments ([**Figure 3**](#pone-0069982-g003){ref-type="fig"}). This proves the importance of these types of interactions in the positioning of compounds within the active site. Hence,caused by the gate bias application. On the other hand, peak B exhibits no dependence on the gate bias, and this lack of dependence can be attributed to photoelectrons from outside the region of interest. In our X-ray focus system using Fresnel zone plate, a center stop is used to suppress the incidence of zero-order (unfocused) X-rays^[@CR20]^. However, in practice, the center stop cannot completely stop the zero-order X-rays. Through the pinhole (about 80 μm in diameter) that is situated between the center stop and the sample^[@CR20]^, unfocused stray X-rays can irradiate the region of non-interest (about 80 μm in diameter). Although the ratio of the unfocused stray X-rays (*I*) over the incident X-rays (*I*~0~) is quite small (*I*/*I*~0~ \< 10^−3^), the integrated intensity from the region of "non-interest" due to the


binding energy of the Ga 3*d* peak drops rapidly near the gate edge when compared with the case without SiN passivation. Here, we note that spatially resolved spectra can be acquired precisely regardless of the presence of the SiN thin film. We speculate that the SiN thin film may induce the build-up of positive charges (core holes) at the surface, which are formed due to photoelectron emission. However, positive charges are easily compensated (or neutralized) by the source and metal electrodes because the electrodes are located in the vicinity of the observed region, and further, the SiN thin film is too thin to prevent this neutralization. In addition, operando observations with the use of the same instrument as in this study have already demonstrated that the energy positionVMM is expressed bywhereis the power of the light source. This power model can be applied to closed systems in which only light sources can provide energy for optical calculations, and final outputs are detected only by photodetectors. Based on Eqs. (5) and (8) , the power efficiency of the optical VMM is derived as follows:

Maximizing power efficiency of optical analog VMMs is a critical challenge on photonic ANN accelerators. Here, we focus on the Clements’s MZI-VMM implementation in Table I and define the throughput or performance as the number of multiply accumulate operations per second. It can be evaluated for the VMM scale with thematrix bywhereis the operation frequency.is limited by several factors such as the maximum operation frequency of light sources,, that of photodetectors,, two phase


shifters in the MZI,, and that of the optical data-path, which is the reciprocal of the VMM circuit latency. In the MZI-VMM,depends on the length of the longest path from a light source input to a photodetector output in the optical circuit and can be modeled as Eq. (7) , whereis the size (or length) of an MZI. From the viewpoint of photonic neural-network executions,anddirectly limit the maximum operation frequency to feed the next input data regardingand, respectively.

3. Impact of device/architecture/application-level codesign for power efficient optical VMM

Owing to maturing nanophotonic device technology, ANN acceleration has a good prospect for low-power, low-latency, and high-throughput computing; however, there are some drawbacks arising from the optical devices. Unlike traditional electronic digital computers, for instance, optical analog calculations are prone to sufferT. Ono, M. Notomi, and K.

N, device parameters such as the MZI size, and some of noise parameters. Some of these parameters are interdependent. For example, there is a trade-off between the transmittance or loss of MZI and the modulation bandwidth of PS. However, in this evaluation, these parameters are assumed to be independent to clarify which parameter contributes to the power efficiency. In other words, we ignore the dependence of parameter values in order to indicate the direction of device parameter improvement. Note that the power loss of MZI is defined as loss = −10 × log 10 (transmittance), and therefore, the evaluation of the power efficiency

musical theater as a genre, as well as the lives of audience members and fans.

The show’s first song, “Alexander Hamilton,” begins with emphatic orchestral

Burr steps onto the stage, he begins to rap rather than sing, and hip-hop
remains the dominant musical style throughout the show.

Lin-Manuel Miranda used the genre in his 2008 show “In the Heights,” and other

“Hamilton” inspired Muhammad to write a spoken word piece that builds upon a
line from “My Shot.” In the song, Hamilton sings, “I imagine death so much it
feels more like a memory.” Muhammad used the words to explore Black mortality,
meditating on the idea that he must regularly contend with death because of
systemic violence perpetrated against Black people. From there, Muhammad began
working on a full-length play that begins with the spoken word piece and further
develops its themes.

"'Hamilton' valorized my own creative capacities to the extent that I'm
confident in creating these things. I don't really have a second thought about
them,” Muhammad said. “It was that trajectory that was triggered by 'Hamilton,'
and I don't really see myself having those same thoughts without it."

The 33-page proposed decree governed "virtually every phase of an officer's employment by the New Orleans Police Department" (NOPD).  543 F.Supp. 662, 668.  (E.D.La.1982).  The decree provided for significant changes in the NOPD's recruiting, hiring, training, testing and promotion standards and procedures.

Under the settlement defendants were required to send black officers on recruiting missions to black neighborhoodsand schools.  Black applicants would then be assigned "buddies" to guide them through the application process.  The defendants agreed to shorten the application process itself and expeditiously address any problems associated with the process.  New entry level procedures would be adopted under the settlement to assure that the proportion of blacks who graduated from the police academy was no lower than the proportion of blacks who passed the entry level examination.  Training sessions were planned to help applicants prepare for the Police Recruit examinations, and black as well as white tutors and instructors would be made available for consultation.  The proposed decree eliminated the use of general intelligence tests.  In addition, it required the City to create an "Academy Review Panel", half


approve a Title VII settlement, but must make an independent decision in each case concerning the fairness of every provision in the decree.

22
In a Title VII consent decree case, we require the district court to become more involved in the settlement process than it would in an ordinary case.  When presented with an ordinary settlement, the court will approve the agreement if it is "fair, adequate and reasonable."    Cotton v. Hinton, supra, 559 F.2d at 1330.  In a Title VII consent decree case, however, even though the decree is contractual in nature, "the court ... must not merely sign on the line provided by the parties."    City of Miami, supra, 664 F.2d at 440.  As Judge Rubin emphasized innonminorities was legally irrelevant to the decision whether to implement a numerical quota.  He emphasized that after consideration of all the other factors, "[a] race-conscious remedy should not be approved without consideration of an additional crucial factor--the effect of the set-aside upon innocent third parties."    Id. at 2793.

32
Following the guidelines set out in these two cases, this Court has also adopted a cautious, methodical approach to the implementation of percentage goals.  In City of Alexandria, supra, 614 F.2d 1358, for example, we used the guidelines to review the settlement between the United States Department of Justice and the City of Alexandria.  The decree in that case provided affirmative hiring relief for women and blacks in the police and fire departments.  Even


comprised 40.7% of all sergeants, 39.4% of all lieutenants, 37.4% of all captains, and 30% of all majors.

35
Furthermore, the district court found that even these estimates were overstated due to certain shortcomings in Dr. Bendick's analysis.  First, in calculating these percentages, Dr. Bendick relied on applicant flow data, which indicates the racial breakdown of all applicants to the police department.  While applicant flow data is a proper consideration in determining the relevant labor market, Markey v. Tenneco Oil Co., 635 F.2d 497 (5th Cir.1981), this type data cannot always be taken at face value.    See Castaneda v. Pickard, 648 F.2d 989, 1003 (5th Cir.1981) (applicant flow data invalid since discriminatory practices infected recruiting).  Experts called by the Hispanic, non-Hispanic white and femaleneeds could not be fulfilled from this market.  But, on the other hand, this witness also testified that even if applicants resided outside the City of New Orleans, they could still be hired if they agreed to move within Orleans Parish during their one-year probationary period.  In some cases, even this requirement was waived.  In addition, after questioning by the court, one of plaintiff's own witnesses9 testified that the NOPD actively engaged in efforts to recruit officers from areas outside of Orleans Parish.  There also was testimony to the contrary.

37
The power of the district court clearly includes the exercise of discretion in weighing testimony.  The record amply supports the conclusion reached by the court.  It was based upon the testimony of witnesses


worth of the individual, a prime ideal of our constitutional structure.  The vision, as I will argue, is that we are a nation of persons, not groups.  Indeed, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are confessions of failures to value persons individually.  But whatever the power of the Congress to allow courts to adopt remedial decrees in their explication, framed in group terms in response to proved group treatment, our first question is whether the Congress has done so.

II

56
The legislative history of Title VII makes plain that, as Senator Humphrey put it:

57
[T]here is nothing in [the proposed Bill] that will give any power to the Commission or to any court to require hiring, firing, or promotion of employees in order to meet a racial "quota"perpetrate new injustices in derogation of the right of those benefited and burdened alike to be treated as individuals.  In addition, we thereby impair our own ability to express in coherent and cohesive fashion our commitment to the doctrines of individual worth central to our modern constitutional jurisprudence.  "If it is the individual who is entitled to judicial protection against classifications based upon his racial or ethnic background because such distinctions impinge upon personal rights, rather than the individual only because of his membership in a particular group, then constitutional standards may be applied consistently."    Bakke, 438 U.S. at 299, 98 S.Ct. at 2752 (opinion of Powell, J.).

69
The principal failing of the proposed quota is that it regards all members of the black


per se, are not proper parties to a court action.

70
A substantial consideration impelling the Supreme Court to uphold the racially non-neutral contracting scheme challenged in Fullilove was the presence in the legislative scheme of administrative safeguards designed to minimize the imposition of benefits and burdens not justifiable as remedies for past discrimination.  448 U.S. at 486-89, 100 S.Ct. at 2778-2780 (opinion of Burger, C.J.).  Here, by contrast, the proposed promoting quota made no effort to correlate prior victim status to future advantage;  to be black ipso facto would be to benefit under this plan.

71
But, the class3 replies, and Judge Wisdom writes, school desegregation cases have not infrequently employed group remedial devices.  Judge Wisdom's assertion can hardly be denied.  Under our school desegregation jurisprudence,for limiting relief to those victims.6   Second, the one-for-one ratio allegedly does not serve a compelling state interest.

82
Judge Williams' opinion for the Court does not reach the constitutional issues.  I do.  The Constitution is race-conscious.  Under the thirteenth amendment, the Constitution contemplates, and the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment does not prohibit, race-conscious, class-based, prospective relief in a unit of state government in the appropriate case.  The appropriate case is one in which discrimination in a state governmental unit is system-wide, institutional, and the product of a long history of discrimination against blacks as a group to continue what amounts to a caste system.7   I would hold that the requested relief is within the district court's power to


 The burdens on enjoyment of their new-found rights thus should be classified as badges of slavery.

104
Although Justice Harlan's interpretation closely reflected the intent of the drafters of the thirteenth amendment, that interpretation went unheeded for 85 years.  Eventually it was vindicated by the Supreme Court in Jones v. Alfred Mayer Co., 1968, 392 U.S. 409, 88 S.Ct. 2186, 20 L.Ed.2d 1189.  In Jones v. Mayer, the Supreme Court affirmed the power of Congress, based on the thirteenth amendment, to prohibit all racial discrimination in the sale and rental of property.  Id. at 437-44, 88 S.Ct. at 2202-05.  The Court held that "Congress has the power under the Thirteenth Amendment rationally to determine what are the badges and incidents of slavery, and the authoritymust be changed to eliminate the effects of that discrimination.  The thirteenth amendment focuses on the rights of a people, in Dred Scott declared inferior and incapable of participating as citizens.    Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1857, 60 U.S.  (19 How.) 393, 15 L.Ed. 691.  Their right of national citizenship made effective through the first sentence of the fourteenth amendment,31 and their thirteenth amendment rights to be liberated from the badges of slavery, can be vindicated only through affirmative race-conscious relief.

II.

107
I dissent from the Court's conclusion that the district judge did not abuse his discretion in rejecting the proposed consent decree.  I also dissent from the approach used to reach that conclusion.

108
I agree with Judge Williams' that our duty is to determine


whether the trial judge abused his discretion in rejecting the consent decree.    See, e.g., Cotton v. Hinton, 5 Cir.1977, 559 F.2d 1326, 1331-32.  In making that determination, however, this Court must consider the effect of the proposed consent decree as a whole.32   Id. The settlement stands or falls in its entirety.  Id.  Neither this Court nor the district court is free to rewrite the agreement reached by the parties by deleting, modifying, or substituting individual provisions of the proposed settlement.  See Officers for Justice v. Civil Service Commission, 9 Cir.1982, 688 F.2d 615, 630, cert. denied, 1983, --- U.S. ----, 103 S.Ct. 1219, 75 L.Ed.2d 456;  Armstrong v. Board of School Directors, 7 Cir.1980, 616 F.2d 305, 315; He found also that, at the time of settlement, the parties were facing a lengthy, hotly contested, and complex trial on the merits.  A trial would cost the parties several hundred thousand dollars and would cause delay in fashioning and implementing relief.  Id.  Despite the benefits of the proposed decree, the district court rejected it, finding that the targeted 50 percent minority representation was unsupported by the evidence,35 that the impact of the one-to-one promotion ratio would be impermissibly harsh on non-blacks, that this impact would be exacerbated by the probable duration of the decree,36 and that the promotion plan was "unnecessary" to afford relief to the plaintiffs.  Id. at 684-85.  None of these findings justifies the rejection of the proposed consent


cannot be found from this population, the department may then select candidates from other areas.  La.Rev.Stat.Ann. Sec. 33:2411 (West Supp.1982).  On similar facts, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that the city population of Detroit, not the SMSA, was the appropriate population base to be used in formulating an affirmative action plan.    Detroit Police Officers' Association v. Young, 6 Cir.1979, 608 F.2d 671, 688, cert. denied, 1981, 452 U.S. 938, 101 S.Ct. 3079, 69 L.Ed.2d 951.  The police force in New Orleans also serves only the City's population.  In these circumstances, the City population is a proper basis for formulating a decree.

114
Even if I were to agree that the SMSA is one appropriate comparison, I wouldcourt erred in holding that the one-to-one promotion ratio would have an impermissibly harsh effect on women, Hispanics, and non-minorities.  Under the standards enunciated in United Steelworkers of America v. Weber, 1979, 443 U.S. 193, 99 S.Ct. 2721, 61 L.Ed.2d 480, the proposed one-to-one ratio is permissible.  This consent decree, like the voluntary plan in Weber, is aimed at breaking down patterns of segregation and opening opportunities for blacks in traditionally segregated fields.  Id. at 208, 99 S.Ct. at 2730.  A "sharing of the burden" of remedying past discrimination by other employees is not impermissible.    Franks v. Bowman Transportation Co., 1976, 424 U.S. 747, 96 S.Ct. 1251, 47 L.Ed.2d 444.  Some burden is acceptable.    See Moore v.


impose on states and local government employers exposure to quotas which it rejected for private employers eight years earlier.  Such a marked shift in congressional purpose would surely have been spoken, if intended

 It is a classic "polycentric" dispute that sorely taxes the judicial role:
[S]uppose in a socialist regime it were decided to have all wages and prices set by courts which would proceed after the usual forms of adjudication.  It is, I assume, obvious that here is a task that could not successfully be undertaken by the adjudicative method.  The point that comes first to mind is that courts move too slowly to keep up with a rapidly changing economic scene.  The more fundamental point is that the forms of adjudication cannot encompassand other employees

 We are learning that much of our school litigation has proceeded with ill-defined and largely ignored classes of litigants.  Indeed, in some cases we learn after as long as ten years that no class of plaintiffs was ever certified and the originally proffered class representatives, and sometimes their counsel, have long since departed.  Attempting to terminate such cases highlights their estrangement from classic party-oriented disputes.  Our rules contemplate that a suit has parties.  The history of school desegregation in Caddo Parish, Louisiana is illustrative.    See Jones v. Caddo Parish School Board, 417 F.2d 801 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 904, 90 S.Ct. 218, 24 L.Ed.2d 180 (1969);  421 F.2d 313 (5th Cir.1970);  499 F.2d 914


(5th Cir.1974);  704 F.2d 206 (5th Cir.1983), reh'g en banc granted 718 F.2d 120 (5th Cir.1983) (case has proceeded for nearly twenty years with no certified class and its dismissal is now being challenged, in part, for lack of proper notice)

 The Equal Employment Advisory Council, an association organized to promote (among other interests) the interest of employers, filed a brief as amicus curiae.  The brief argues that this "Court should reaffirm that employers who voluntarily enter or have entered into agreements that are consistent with the standards set out by the Supreme Court in Weber ... remain free to use such agreements as a defense to 'reverse discrimination' suits."    The general counsel for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) submitted a briefto the Justice Department that adopted a similar position, stating that "a court's remedial authority under Title VII is not limited solely to making whole individual victims of discrimination, and properly may encompass relief in the form of race-conscious goals for the hiring and promotion of minorities."    Although the EEOC did not submit the brief to this Court, its contents were incorporated by reference in an amicus curiae brief.  See infra note 5

six major powers (the U.S., Russia, China, the UK, and France, plus Germany) and Tehran on Iran’s nuclear program, the Nezavisimaya Gazeta centrist daily writes that although the parties are very close to a consensus on the nuclear issue, there are still some aspects that require discussion. The situation is further complicated by the particularly tough position being adopted by France.

“France wants a truly reliable agreement which guarantees that Iran will have access to nuclear power but not to an atomic bomb,” the paper quotes French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius as saying. Nezavisimaya Gazeta goes on to explain that the U.S. wants the sanctions against Iran to be gradually lifted, whereas France is convinced that the sanctions should remain in force for longer.

In addition, Paris and Washington disagreeon the duration of the comprehensive agreement. France insists that Iran should remain under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for at least 15 years, while the U.S. is in favor of a period of 10 years.

“France adopted this tough stance quite recently and it is rather hard to understand what caused it. One could venture a guess that the French are aligning themselves with Israel or with Obama’s opponents, the Republican Party,” says a senior research associate with the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Oriental Studies, Prof. Vladimir Sazhin. He adds that the lifting of sanctions against Iran will change the overall situation in the Middle East, while the country’s political and economic status will rise considerably.

homogeneous metrics with positive sectional curvature have been classified in [@BB; @Be; @Wal]. As was recently observed by J. A. Wolf and M. Xu [@XuWolf], there is a gap in Bérard Bergery’s classification of odd dimensional positively curved homogeneous spaces in the case of the Stiefel manifold $Sp(2)/U(1)=SO(5)/SO(2)$. A refined proof of the suitable result was obtained by B. Wilking, see Theorem 5.1 in [@XuWolf]. The recent paper [@WiZi] by B. Wilking and W. Ziller gives a new and short proof of the classification of homogeneous manifolds of positive curvature. A detailed exposition of various results on the set of invariant metrics with positive sectional curvature, the best pinching constant, and full connected isometry groups could be found in the papers [@Puttmann; @Sh2; @Valiev; @VerZi; @Volp1; @Volp2; @Volp3].

It is a natural type of problems\frac{x_1x_2+x_1x_3+x_2x_3-a(x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2)}{2x_1x_2x_3}.$$

By using the above equalities, the (volume) normalized Ricci flow equation (\[ricciflow\]) on the Wallach spaces can be reduced to a system of ODE’s of the following form: $$\label{nrf_sc}
\frac {dx_i}{dt} = -2x_i(t)\left({\bf r_i}-\frac{S}{n}\right), \quad i=1,2,3,$$ where $n=\dim({\mathfrak{p}_1})+\dim({\mathfrak{p}_2})+\dim({\mathfrak{p}_3})=3{\bf d}$.

Note that the metric (\[metric\]) has the same volume as the standard metric if and only if $x_1x_2x_3=1$. It suffices to prove Theorems \[the2\], \[Sect\_Ricci\], \[Sect\_Ricci\_gen\], and \[Sect\_Ricci\_genn\] only for invariant metrics with $$\label{volume}
\operatorname{Vol}=x_1x_2x_3\equiv 1.$$ Indeed, the case of general volume is reduced to this one by a suitable homothety. This observation is the main argument to apply the normalized Ricci flow instead of the non-normalized Ricci flow in the case of the Wallach spaces, as far as in the case of generalized Wallach spaces, see details in [@AANS1] and [@AANS2].

It is


what follows, we will need the curves $c_1$, $c_2$ and $c_3$ introduced in Lemma \[E\_i\_hyperr\].

\[attains\] If $a\in (0,1/4)$ then every trajectory of the system [(]{}\[rnrf\_scr\][)]{} originated in $D\setminus \left(c_1\cup c_2\cup c_3\right)$ reaches the boundary $s_1\cup s_2\cup s_3$ of $D$ in finite time and leaves $D$. This finite time could be as long as we want.

The corresponding picture is depicted in the left panel of Figure \[Fig5a\].

![image](Fig_4_1.eps){width="45.00000%"} ![image](Fig_4_2.eps){width="45.00000%"}

Without loss of generality consider only the part $D\cap \Omega$ of $D$, where $\Omega$ was introduced in (\[Omegar\]). Consider any trajectory $\bigl(w_1(t), w_2(t)\bigr)$ of (\[rnrf\_scr\]) initiated at $(w_1^0,w_2^0)\in D\cap \Omega$. The equation of $s_3$ (see (\[L\_ir\])) has an unique positive solution $$w_2\sim \frac{1}{2}(w_1-1)^{-1/2} \quad \mbox{as} \quad w_1 \to 1+0.$$ Therefore, we have $\alpha=1/2$ in Proposition \[asymp3\]. Since $\frac{1-2a}{4a}>\alpha=1/2$ whenever $0<a<1/4$ the trajectory $\bigl(w_1(t), w_2(t)\bigr)$ liesmove away from $R$ whenever $1<w_1<w_1^{\ast}$. Hence they never can return back to $R$ leaving it once.

\[obrdornet2\] Actually, we have proved a more strong assertion in the proof of Lemma \[not\_returns\_to\_R\]: Some integral curves of the system [(]{}\[rnrf\_scr\][)]{}, initiated outside the domain $R$, could reach $R$ [(]{}e. g. through the part of the curve $r_1$ between the points $P_3$ and $Q$, intersecting $r_1\subset \partial(R)$ from up to down[)]{}, see the left panel of Figure \[Fig6a\]. But later these trajectories will leave $R$ irrevocably, if will reach $\partial(R)$ [(]{}e. g. in $R\cap \Omega$, this could happen about the part of $r_1$ situated from the left of the point $Q$[)]{}. Note that this effect follows also from Lemma \[attains\_r\_i\] for $a=1/8$ and $a=1/9$. Hence, in particular, the normalized Ricci flow can evolve some


discussions from that paper with our results.

Finally, we reproduce additional illustrations suggested us by Wolfgang Ziller. We draw our pictures for the system (\[nrf\_sc\]) in the plane $x_1+x_2+x_3=1$. These pictures preserves the dihedral symmetry of the initial problem. We reproduce in Figure \[Fig1z\] the domains of positive sectional, positive Ricci, and positive scalar curvatures (we denote them by $D$, $R$, and $S$ respectively) of the system (\[nrf\_sc\]) in the plane $x_1+x_2+x_3=1$ for $a=1/8$. We also reproduce the phase portrait (of the tangent component) for the system (\[nrf\_sc\]). Note that Riemannian metrics constitute a triangle and the set $S$ is bounded by a circle.

Similar pictures could be produced for $a=1/9$ and $a=1/6$. We reproduce here only Figure \[Fig3z\] (compare with Figure \[Fig4z\]) for $a=1/6$, because the space $W_6$ admits Kähler invariantmetrics, that constitute a small triangle in Figure \[Fig3z\]. Note also that three non-normal Einstein metrics in this case are Kähler – Einstein and one can easily get main properties of the Kähler – Ricci flow on the space $W_6$ using this picture.

Can retrieve data with $.getJSON but not $.ajax

I'm trying to retrieve data from the cloudmade routing API service. I can do it fine using $.getJSON with the following code:
<button id="getJSON">Get JSON</button>

$(function () {

    $("#getJSON").click(function () {

        $.getJSON("http://routes.cloudmade.com/c6f2762bfe00414f822a9dec443569f5/api/0.3/51.500,0.100,51.500,0.1001/car.js?callback=?", function (data) {
            var test = data.route_geometry;
            alert(test);
        });
    });
});

When I try to do the same request using $.ajax, I cannot retrieve the data, but I'm not sure where my error is. The reason I want to use $.ajax is because $.getJSON is asynchronous, where as $.ajax


fever, a lesser severity of signs and symptoms, and consequently a reduction in use of antibiotics and symptomatic drugs. Furthermore, the trials suggest that Pidotimod is a simple, well-tolerated and safe approach to reduce risks and symptoms correlated to respiratory tract infections \[[@CR1]\] (Table [1](#Tab1){ref-type="table"}).Table 1**Pidotimod: clinical trials in children**Prophylaxis with the novel immunomodulator Pidotimod reduces the frequency and severity of upper respiratory tract infections in children with Down's Syndrome26 children with Down's Syndrome↓ nasal secretions,↓ nasal obstruction• M/F = 12/12↓ mucosal hyperemia• From 3 to 13 years↓ less recurrent inflammatory episodes↓ days of fever and,↓ in the use of antibiotics and antipyretics.Immunomodulating activity of Pidotimod in children with Down Syndrome.18 children↑ activity of vaccine when co-administration• M/F = 14/4• From 3 to 10 yearsChanges of immune function in children with refractory mycoplasmaa day for 1-2 months. The results show that IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6 increased significantly in the treatment group, but there is no evidence that Pidotimod can improve the expression of IFN-γ in both groups; moreover, the ratio of Th1/Th2 decreased in treatment group. In summary, the study demonstrated that Pidotimod is able to improve the expression of Th1 cytokines and increases the cellular immune function and viral clearance ability of the host \[[@CR26]\] (Table [2](#Tab2){ref-type="table"}).Table 2**Pidotimod: clinical trials in adultsStudyPopulationClinical outcomeLaboratory outcome**Evaluation of the efficacy of Pidotimod in the exacerbations in patients affected with chronic Bronchities181 COPD↓Frequency of relapsesExpectoration characteristics• M/F = 117/64↓ to time of relapses,↑ spirometric parametersMean age 62.5 years↓ time of recoveryPidotimod activity against chronic bronchitis exacerbation580 COPD↓ fewer infectious exacerbations• Treatment group M/F = 94/31 mean age 66.2

The common end-point of these studies is that Pidotimod has an immunomodulatory activity which is able both to improve the clinical conditions of patients and to enhance and stimulate their immunity cells (lymphocytes but not only) functions acting on adaptive and innate immunity. Pidotimod is also able to increase the concentration of salivary IgA directed against bacteria; furthermore, it can modulate airway epithelial cells functions up-regulating the expression of toll-like receptors and acting on adhesion molecules. Studies remark that also the balance of intestinal flora can influence the immunity in respiratory mucosa, remembering the role of probiotics and immunostimulants.

According to studies conducted on patients with atopic asthma, it seems that Pidotimod could affect T-lymphocytes balance with a possible addictional anti-allergic activity.

          dolphin’s performance in Spain until it clarifies its position on Palestinian statehood.

Earlier today, Hamas captured an Israeli spy dolphin. After several hours of torture, the Zionist animal had only this to say: “AAAK EEEK SQUEAK!!!!”

Hamas claims to have captured a dolphin that was spying for Israel, Army Radio reported Wednesday. Of course they did. Everyone remembers the episode where Flipper graduated from 8200. Maybe their political and military branches will kill each other arguing about whether it’s a fish or a mammal.
