review, but as a general rule, single-point scanning systems, albeit fundamentally limited in speed by fluorescence saturation effects, can have better signal-to-noise performance for thicker samples.

Near-field methods
------------------

The most prominent near-field microscopy approach in cell biology utilizes the effect of total internal reflection at highly inclined angles at the glass--medium interface for the illumination of fluorophores (TIRF). The exponential decay of the evanescent field illumination intensity restricts excitation to a thin region extending to 100--200 nm behind the surface of the cover glass. Because there is effectively no signal from out-of-focus regions, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved in comparison to any computational method of out-of-focus blur removal. Notably, TIRF enhances only the axial resolution to below the diffraction limit. Although TIRF microscopy (TIRFM) has become a valuable and relativelyin three dimensions. Thus, fine patterns of replication foci could be resolved throughout the entire nucleus by 3D-SIM and quantitatively analyzed ([@bib5]). The multicolor capability of 3D-SIM allows the imaging of several cellular components and the mapping of their relative positions in macromolecular complexes, enabling the study of their spatial relationship within the surrounding cellular contexts. One such example is the identification of interchromatin channels leading up to individual nuclear pores ([@bib76]). A multicolor 3D-SIM imaging of a mitotic cell is shown in [Fig. 3 A](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}. Recently, the first steps toward the imaging of living cells with SIM were taken to visualize mitochondria, tubulin, and kinesin dynamics in living cells ([@bib53]; [@bib66]). However, the strict requirement of sample stability during the recording of the multiple images for each


time-point makes a number of technical improvements and short cuts necessary. Most importantly, the acquisition of image sets has to be accelerated and at least initially confined to two dimensions by, e.g., TIRF.

![**Super-resolution microscopy of biological samples.** (A) Conventional wide-field image (left) and 3D-SIM image of a mouse C2C12 prometaphase cell stained with primary antibodies against lamin B and tubulin, and secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa 488 (green) and Alexa 594 (red), respectively. Nuclear chromatin was stained with DAPI (blue). 3D image stacks were acquired with a DeltaVision OMX prototype system (Applied Precision). The bottom panel shows the respective orthogonal cross sections. (B) HeLa cell stained with primary antibodies against the nuclear pore complex protein Nup153 and secondary antibodies conjugated with ATTO647N. The image was acquired with acoarse to achieve a significant in-plane resolution improvement.

Structured illumination and strictly speaking even confocal microscopy make use of the resolution-enhancing influence of a spatially varying illumination. Spatial frequencies present in the excitation pattern can be added to Abbe's limit, which is valid for detection. In terms of the maximal spatial frequency, this yields a summation of the highest spatial frequency present in the illumination beam and the highest spatial frequency being detected. In other words, when the sample responds proportional to the illumination intensity, the Abbe limits for illumination and detection have to be added to form the new resolution limit. Roughly twofold resolution enhancement can be achieved this way.

This addition starts with the assumption that the emitted (and thus also the detected) signal is proportional to the


separate such particles, which were based on their emission characteristics such as color ([@bib13]) or fluorescence lifetime ([@bib37]), were limited to imaging only a few particles in close proximity. This changed drastically when it was realized that time could be used to separate the particles. The idea to assemble many such localized positions into high resolution images of the sample was termed pointillism, in analogy to the artistic painting technique ([@bib68]). The chance of detecting particles with overlapping signals in one image could be reduced to almost zero by limiting the number of simultaneously emitting particles ([@bib8]; [@bib51]; [@bib75]). This first became possible by using either photoactivatable dyes (e.g., paGFP), as in photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) and fluorescence photoactivation localization microscopy (FPALM), or by using photoswitchable dye pairsand Marie. And my brothers Ray and Eric I thank you all for your wonderful support.

looked anxiously about. "Maybe too peaceful," she hesitated. "So peaceful it might drive a sane person insane."

Consuelo's eyes glanced back at her with suspicion.

Camille regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. She paused for a second and thought about how complex things were for her right now. "I didn't mean it the way it sounded."

Consuelo smiled softly. "I know what you meant to say.  Anyway, this is a good place. Once you have lived out here long enough you get used to it. In fact, you come to cherish it. How are you, by the way?"

Camille wondered if Consuelo saw the fine tremor shaking her hands. She clasped her hands firmly behind her back.  "I'm fine. I've just been putting in a lotout of the way. I think she's about to feel one of her changes coming on and I wouldn't want the cat to spook you," he said reaching for the bottle of tequila and pouring her another shot.  "You know Camille; I don't mean to be nosy. But my Glenda has a real talent for fixing matters of the heart, and it looks like someone broke your heart. But don't worry. My Glenda will be here shortly."

Camille said nothing as she watched Jackson walk away with Pinky, the cat.  What a night she was having, she thought as she turned her attention back to the bowl of fresh strawberries in front of her. There was only one left. She couldn't remember eating all of them. She


she'd had her suspicions.

The man was handsome, cold looking but handsome. The handsome distinguished model features of the man were known to turn the lady's heads.

She let her gaze take in the dark-haired young woman with the ample breasts, walking next to him. She stared back at the man as if he was God.

The man and woman made their way to their hotel room, entered and closed the door behind them.

Camille rose from her hiding place, walked over to the elevator and waited.  It had been a long evening, she thought with impatience.

The elevator opened, and a hotel waiter dressed in a white jacket smiled at her, pushing his cart forward.

"It's extra if you want to use my white jacket," the waiter said.

"No thank you, but I'llamazed that she'd let her two best friends throw a birthday party for her.

She finished her make-up and went to her closet and reached for the purple lame' gown with the mermaid styled bottom.  She knew the dress fit her curves like a glove.

Two hours later _, The Palladium_ Ballroom was filling up fast. Camille took a sip of her margarita. It felt good against her tongue. The Cadillac Margaritas were her favorite.

She took another swallow recalling the numerous stories she'd heard about who invented her favorite drink.  Her favorite story was the one Eris had told her about the Margarita being concocted by a bartender at Hussong's Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico named Carlos Orozco.  While there was no solid proof that the story was


sex-addict."

"You bet your ass I love having sex, and you're just jealous of me Eris, because I have way more sex than you ever will," Tiara responded.

"Oh please," Eris snorted, with a wave of her hand.

Tiara regarded her friend and knew how she could make her point. "Say Eris, an old boyfriend of yours told me to tell you hi. I saw him when I came out of the lady's room."

"Yeah who was it?"

"You know that old pimp looking guy.  Oh, what's his name Robert Chandler?  Boy that old pimp daddy is in love with you. You should have seen his face light up when I told him you were here."

"Tiara Mr. Chandler is just a nice old man, and you're such a bitch!"

"Cool it youhis hand, she felt warm all over as a jolt of energy coursed through her body. She looked up and politely and nervously smiled.  He was tall, dark and dangerously handsome.

Desmond Garcia looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe his luck. She was perfect and beautiful.

"You can call me by my first name," Desmond said. "I mean I don't have a nickname or anything. Is it okay if I call you Camille?"

"Sure, Desmond and I don't have a nickname either," she said.

Desmond's dark eyes looked her over. "I just learned that this party was sort of your birthday party. I'm afraid I didn't bring you a gift."

Camille felt warm at the glare of his attention. "That was my intent. I made it clear to my best


liked the guy.

Impatient for one of them to bring up the subject, she loudly cleared her throat. "I can't believe neither one of you has asked me whether not I liked Desmond Garcia. Or if I had a nice time at my birthday party, or a bad time, or something."

Eris gave a small shrug. "I know you like him. I'm the matchmaker. I arranged everything remember? Desmond is perfect for you."

"Yes, but does Camille want him, you know, feel that sexual desire thing for him. You know like that wild mad passion stuff," Tiara piped in cooling, raising an eyebrow.

Eris' mouth was open for the next protest. "Hello Tiara! Yes, Camille does. Didn't you see the way she looked at him, or for that matter how he lookedpetite older woman. She wore a double-breasted, pink and navy trim collared Chanel wool suit with a matching pink pill-box hat. Her hair was dyed with a purple rinse.

Before Camille could open her mouth the petite purpled-haired woman approached their table.

"Camille my dear, I thought that was you," the blue-haired old lady smiled.

"Forgive me Aunt Vie. I forgot you were with me," Delmar smiled.

"Hello Camille, Aunt vie said. "It's good to see you again."

Camille, you remember Aunt Vie?" he asked.

"Yes of course, hello Aunt Vie," Camille answered. "Please let me introduce you to my two best friends, Eris Simeon and Tiara Blake."

"Hello ladies," Aunt Vie said with a wave of her hand as if dismissing them. "Bless my heart. Camille, you look wonderful," Aunt Vie said, extending a


glanced at his watch and walked away.

Eris smiled and glanced at herself in the mirror. At twenty-five she was a permanent fixture in Silicon Valley society. Her father's wealthy real-estate business meant that she knew the who's who in the élites of money makers in the valley.  Still, a girl had to have a hobby and Eris' was shopping for shoes.

A few minutes later, Eris tried on the last pair of shoes. It was the black patent leather pumps that she'd seen earlier.  She stood in front of the mirror and admired the shiny black patent leather pumps.  They were the perfect height. She crossed and uncrossed her legs, admiring how the four-inch height of the shoes emphasized the sexy curve of her calf muscles.have known. You are a girly girly woman just like me.  I can tell.  What about charity events?" Aria asked sizing her up.

"Yes, I like charity events too," Eris said.

Adria paused as if remembering something. "Good, then Eris please promise me you won't move from this spot. I want to speak with my son a moment in private."

Adria quickly pulled Ethan out of distance.  "Ethan, I like Eris. She is quite unique and perfect for you darling. And I can tell you've got a thing for her," she presses her lips together to stifle a giggle. "But you're not going to get her with that I think I'm God's gift to woman attitude. You need to work on your approach with her.

"Aw mother, you and


what are you doing here?"

A frown crossed Delmar's face. _What a disastrous day,_ he thought.  Eris Simeon was the last person he'd wanted to have a confrontation with.

He cleared his throat. "Mr. Madden and I have a lunch meeting."

Bob nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, we do."

Eris Simeon nodded evasively. "That's good, because Camille and I made lunch plans also and I hope they won't interfere with your plans Mr. Madden?"

Bob nodded his understanding.  "That's fine by me."

Eris oozed composure as she coolly said, "Oh Bob, you can't speak for Mr. Devereaux, maybe he wanted a pretty face at lunch with him today."

Reluctantly Delmar nodded.  "No of course not my appointment was with Bob."

Bob smiled. "Okay that's all settled let me grab the reports off my desk," heloudly. "You don't say."

Eris flipped back her hair. Her temple-to-temple fringe bangs fell right back in place as she stared hard with a doubtful stance. "Well alrighty then, looks like you do need this book more than I do."

The woman leveled her cat's-eye glasses at Eris and then peeped over the yellow stripped rim. Her slanted eyes were cat green.  "Honey relax, I'm for real. I'm a professional. I pick up on people's thoughts and I know what they're thinking," she said, and paused. "Right now, I'm picking up that you really don't need this book. In fact, your mister right is coming your way very soon. You just need to relax and let go of your constant need to control your life and others and let


always found something wrong with them.

The waiter brought their food.

Eris continued chatting away without paying attention. She picked up a fork full of mashed potatoes and gravy and it spilled down the front of her dress.

"Oh, dear me," Eris said biting her lip. "I hope this comes out. Will you two please excuse me while I run to the lady's room and try and rinse this out?"

"Sure," Camille said, watching her leave.

Camille looked at Desmond to see if he was annoyed.

"I'm sorry about Eris talking so much," she said.

He softly smiled. "She misses you and no she's not bothering me. Besides, I think I have an idea," he smiled warmly. "How about we invite her to dinner and I ask a good friend of mine to join us.her side.

Camille's eyes widened like plates as she reached out. "Mommy! Mommy! Are you okay? Here, have a drink of water."

Gabby laughed out and grabbed Desmond's hand. She winked at him. "Now you see my daughter was putting on airs calling me mother. But let her think I'm about to have a heart attack and I'm plain old mommy, just like I like. Welcome to the family Desmond. By the way, I love bingo, so please feel free to add to my bingo funds anytime."

Eris laughed out. "That's mother Gabby."

Camille gasped, "Oh my God mother, don't start begging for bingo money."

Desmond shook his head with laughter and winked at Camille.

"Somebody please pour me a drink," Gabby commanded, grabbing an empty glass.

Camille leaned over and poured wine into her


does but that don't make her bad.  You know what I mean?"

Camille managed a weak laugh and did a double take. Sometimes at moments like these she caught glimpses of the real Gabriela Baptiste.  Not the self-absorbed, selfish, deceptive woman who was angry at the world for the hand it dealt her. But the caring woman, that was standing in front of her now.  She recalled her mother always saying that underneath at the core of every human was just a small child looking to be loved.  She cleared her throat. "Yeah, I know what you mean.  Look Mom, you didn't have to fix me this nice breakfast. I was going to apologize to Tiara anyway."

**That was a longit off. "You're right of course, you don't," he said.

Camille could tell that Desmond's mind was occupied.  "Desmond is everything okay? I mean with us," she asked curiously.

"Ah... Oh I mean, yeah," he said lamely

  "You don't sound so sure."

His voice was humbling. "Well that's why I'm calling. I can tell we've been moving kind of fast and well, I don't want us to make a fast mistake, if you get my meaning."

Camille held the phone in stunned disbelief.

"Hello... Hello Camille, are you still there?"

She finally found her voice. "Yes, I'm still here," she said softly. "What are you saying Desmond?"

He cleared his throat. "I just don't want to give you the wrong impression and right now I think I need a little alone time until


running Devereaux Industries. He recalled the last financial reports, he knew his financial position was strong, and there was more than enough cash on hand to breathe easily.

That wasn't always the case. Once upon a time; many years ago, when he was a lot younger, he'd gotten the worst end of a real estate deal that had gone sour. The owner of the escrow company had come to his aid and put up the money to keep his deal from falling through.

The man who'd loaned him the money was Wade Baptiste and he had the prettiest daughter Delmar had ever seen.  But Wade had made it clear if Delmar was interested in his daughter, he was on his own. Camille Baptiste had her own mind and ifwas working late again. She found that if she put in longer hours she thought less of Desmond Garcia. She checked the reports on her desk and then checked her appointment calendar for the next day, her calendar was clear.

Good she thought. _Maybe it was time to treat herself to some spa therapy_.  _Where should she go_? She wondered.  She typed in _luxury day spas_ on her computer.  She got so wrapped up in what she was doing she didn't hear the door to her office open.  The creak of the floor finally caught her attention.

Camille looked up nervously her voice carried an edge. "Bob, are you working late?"

Bob Madden was the owner of Lipton Escrow. He often worked late.

"No Camille, Bob left for


back to the present.

She pulled out of his embrace. "You're a long way from Monterey what are you doing in San Jose?"

"Oh, I was just in town to see a man about a car."

She looked up at him. "Oh, adding another car to your collection?"

Yes, and no," he said placing his hand under her chin, lifting her head to look at him.  He studied her face. There were dark shadows under her eyes. "How are things Camille? You look like you have been working too hard."

She hesitated and gave a nervous laugh and stepped away. "Things are okay.  Why are you here?"

He rubbed his hands together having enjoyed the sensation of her touch. "A friend of mine has a bit of a problem," he began. "Anddoor.

Outside on the sidewalk Delmar rushed Camille to his waiting limousine pushed her inside.

"Hold on a minute," she said as her purse caught in the door. She jerked hard and bummed several glasses in the limousine bar.

Delmar smiled back at her. "Is everything okay Camille?"

 She thought she heard something hit the floor. The limo was dark.  She hoped she hadn't knocked over anything. "Yes, I'm fine. I think I knocked something over."

"Oh, don't worry about anything Camille you're in a limo everything is fine," Delmar hoarsely laughed.

Then the limousine pulled away from the curb.

**Loyalty**

_Days later..._

Since his stay in Hawaii Desmond realized that time had become like a tesseract to him, where day and night blended into one. He quickly dialed Camille's


mother Gabby dressed to leave.

"Hi Mom," Camille said. "You're not wearing your lucky bingo attire."

"No bingo tonight dear and you look tired. You should get some rest," Gabby nodded. "I'm off to play cards tonight at Grand mere Catherine's house. If you need me call me on my cell," she said giving her a quick kiss on the check and leaving.

Camille watched her mother leave and closed the door.   She hurried to her room and took a shower and then went into the kitchen and got something to eat.

The phone ring just as she finished her sandwich.

"Hello?"

"Hi Camille, it's me Delmar"

Camille knew why she just didn't hang up the phone at the sound of his voice. She was lonely, and she needed someone to talk to.

Thesilent for a few moments.

"Mrs.  Allen a strange look came over your face just now," Camille said caringly, as she studied her, she realized Nona knew something. "Is anything wrong?

She looked back at her. "I was thinking back to the night before Desmond broke things off."

Frustrated Camille stared. "Yes, why?"

"Camille don't you think it was strange you thought someone was watching you?"

 "No, I don't know what you mean?"

"I feel disloyal talking about it," Nona said calmly.

"Why don't you just tell me?"

Nona voice was low. "Well, I remember that night because Desmond worked late.  I remember it clearly because he had one of the most beautiful Orchid plants, I'd ever seen sitting on his desk all that day. When I finally jokingly asked him who the


out with you.  I told you then that I was feeling lonely. Anyway, it shouldn't have happened."

"No, you don't mean that Camille. You're just upset. I haven't been patient with you enough," he said, his eyes filling with pain.

"No," Camille forced herself to say it. "Delmar, its' over. It was over a long time ago between us."

His eyes flashed coldly. "Then I'll need the money for your mother's car back," he hissed out, not masking his bitterness.  He was sure his actions would have her rethinking her decision. "I'll take my twenty-five thousand dollars in a lump sum, right now."

Camille stared back at him. "What? Twenty-five thousand dollars?"

He sneered. "Yes, I assumed if I wasn't dating you. You'd pay it back. Or if you prefer thefor Gabby, you know Camille I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to speak to your mother in a while," she took a deep breath. "So why did you miss the party the other night?"

"Brace yourself. That's why I'm calling.  I've gotten back with Desmond," Camille responded, excitedly.

"Damn, I thought things were over between you and Desmond!" Tiara blurted.

"Tiara you sound like you're in a really bad mood. Don't get so excited."

Tiara realized Camille had been right. She checked around her to make sure she was still alone.  She lowered her voice. "Camille I'm not in a bad mood. Are you sure you want to do that?"

Camille laughed it off. "What do you mean by that? Can't a girl change her mind and work


things out with the man she loves?"

"Oh, I guess she can, especially if the man is good in bed," Tiara added with a laugh.  "I hear it in your voice Camille. You guys are having a lot of make-up sex and you sound satisfied. In fact, you sound positively happy."

"Oh, Tiara I am," Camille's voice bubbled over with joy. "And ditto on the makeup sex thing we are having a lot of it. We've even played a few sex games, if you know what I mean. But I'm sure it's nothing like the sex-play Brandon has to offer you."

Tiara cleared her throat to hide the lie that rolled off her tongue.  "Obviously, you got that right."

"By the way are you and Brandon out of town forit clearly states that if the result is inconclusive more samples must be taken to ensure there is no contamination."

Delmar watched his face. He knew Adam was up to something.

"Here, let me read this section to you," Adam Browning suggested.

"Never mind," Delmar protested. "I've read that report almost a hundred times."

"Look Delmar, I know you need those permits to resume construction. But you know the county's position has always been firm on soil conditions and your geological reports were incomplete," he stressed. "You have to follow procedure.  The county takes these matters very seriously."

Delmar shrugged. "Okay Adam, we both know you have a lot of pull when it comes to handling certain county officials."

Adam laughed and shook his head. "I don't know what you are talking about."

Delmar


you want and then you're going to make a lot of money, millions I bet."

He pretended to ignore her as he walked over and stared out the window.  Through the window he could see the light in his study where he'd left Adam drinking. He took a deep breath; he was so close to having what he wanted.

Her thoughts raced as she stared back at him. She heard the voice inside her head say. _"But you are not willing to pay me what I am worth."_

Delmar turned and looked back at her and snickered out. "Do you want the money or not?"

Tiara looked at him and thought she saw dollar signs flash behind his eyes. Her instincts told her how anxious he was.  Delmar was a1.25 nM-1 or less. Antibodies with avidity of 1.25 nM-1 or less were, on average, 6.6-fold less active in assays of complement-mediated bactericidal activity than antibodies with avidity of 2.50 nM-1 or greater (P less than .001). Oligo-CRM and PRP-T conjugate vaccines elicit higher avidity antibody than PRP-OMPC, and high-avidity antibody is more potent than low-avidity antibody in serum bactericidal assays. Consideration should be given to including measurement of antibody avidity in assessment of new vaccines since avidity may affect the ability of serum antibody to confer protection against disease.


Momand Dara District

Momand Dara is a district in the east of Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, bordering Pakistan. Its population, which is 100% Pashtun, was estimated at 33,966 in 2002, of whom 14,800 were children under the age of 12. The district centre is the village of Momand Dara. Torkham, which is in the south of the district, is one of the main border crossing points into Pakistan.

On March 4, 2007 it was the site of an incident in which a number of civilians were killed.

The surprise addition of the dedicated green Skip button brings up a bit of TiVo history. This functions similarly to the “D” button on the previous Bolt remote, and allows the skipping of an entire block of commercials for shows recorded from the top 20 most-watched channels that are recorded during prime time. You’ll hear a tone sound as soon as the commercials begin. You press Skip (or D), and the program instantly resumes where the commercial block ends. Having the dedicated Skip control represents a long about-face by TiVo, which initially only supported tape-like fast forwarding, then depended on independent web user groups to provide instructions on how to activate a buried 30-second quick-skip feature.

family of rhodopsin-related GPCRs, namely the MCH receptors 1 and 2 (MCH-1R and MCH-2R).
Investigations into the function of MCH in animal models have provided good indications for a role of the peptide in regulating the energy balance, i.e., changing metabolic activity and food intake (D. Qu, et al., A role for melanin-concentrating hormone in the central regulation of feeding behaviour, Nature, 1996, 380 (6571), pp. 243-7; M.

her fall. And only if we find that she did establish that fact will we reach the issue of whether she also showed that Outback failed to exercise reasonable care. Both showings are necessary in order for Ms. Guillory to receive a favorable result.
The following facts were testified to in the various depositions taken in preparation for this trial:
Ms. Lorelei Nicholson, a waitress at Outback the night that Ms. Guillory fell, was standing at Table 44 at the time of the fall. She believed that the customers she was facing, seated at Table 44, saw Ms. Guillory fall behind her, but their testimony was not taken. Ms. Nicholson testified that she turned around to go to help Ms. Guillory, when other customers, seated at either Table 42 ordefinition is either nil,
a symbol, a string, a cons cell.  If the definition is nil, then it
means that it's an internal entity but the result of parsing it is
unknown.  If it is a symbol, then the symbol is either `unparsed',
meaning the entity is an unparsed entity, `external', meaning the
entity is or references an external entity, `element', meaning the
entity includes one or more elements, or `not-well-formed', meaning
the replacement text is not well-formed.  If the definition is a
string, then the replacement text of the entity is that string; this
happens only during the parsing of the prolog.  If the definition is

from referencing the entity in element content and AR is either nil,

that implementing two different types of voting systems in Maine will be costly and confusing for the state and municipal voting officials and volunteers.

Others have said voters were misled when they were told by the Committee for Ranked Choice Voting, which backed the ballot measure, that the new law was fully constitutional, when it turned out it wasn’t.

Under the ranked-choice system, voters would rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate had more than 50 percent of votes, the candidate with the fewest votes would be eliminated. Voters who chose the eliminated candidate would have their ballots added to the totals of their second-ranked candidate, and the ballots would be retabulated. The process would continue until one candidate had a clear majority and was declared the winner.

Police reported they found Riggs — whom they recognized — “standing on the tracks putting on a shirt.”

A foot chase then ensued. As Riggs climbed a chain-link fence, an officer deployed an electronic stun device, and the New Castle man “immediately dropped to the ground.”

Riggs allegedly made “several statements which made no sense,” an officer wrote, including an assertion he was forced to disrobe by an armed man on the roof of a home “more than a quarter-mile away.”

The New Castle man was taken to Henry County Hospital for an examination before being placed in the Henry County jail.

no excuse for them having waited five years.”

De Blasio too, has stalled in his promises to push for revisions to restrictive state laws, which means Pantatelo’s disciplinary records cannot be entered as evidence during the trial.

“He has said a lot publicly about how this should change, but from the people we’ve spoken to in Albany [the state capital], he’s made no such efforts to actually change the law,” said Cynthia Conti-Cook a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society. “I think he’s afraid of the police.”

Pantaleo’s administrative hearing has been adjourned since 21 May, after his defense lawyers told the trial room they were unable to bring their next witness, a medical examiner in St Louis, until 5 June.

Those familiar with proceedings have suggested there could beEngineering tyrosine-based electron flow pathways in proteins: the case of aplysia myoglobin.
Tyrosine residues can act as redox cofactors that provide an electron transfer ("hole-hopping") route that enhances the rate of ferryl heme iron reduction by externally added reductants, for example, ascorbate. Aplysia fasciata myoglobin, having no naturally occurring tyrosines but 15 phenylalanines that can be selectively mutated to tyrosine residues, provides an ideal protein with which to study such through-protein electron transfer pathways and ways to manipulate them. Two surface exposed phenylalanines that are close to the heme have been mutated to tyrosines (F42Y, F98Y). In both of these, the rate of ferryl heme reduction increased by up to 3 orders of magnitude. This result cannot be explained in terms of distance or redox potential change between donor


Old St. John's Hospital

The Hospital of St. John (Oud Sint-Janshospitaal) was a medieval hospital in Bruges. It was founded in the mid-12th century.

Located next to the Church of Our Lady, the premises contain some of Europe's oldest surviving hospital buildings. The hospital grew during the Middle Ages and was a place where sick pilgrims and travellers were cared for. The site was later expanded with the building of a monastery and convent. In the 19th century, further construction led to a hospital with eight wards around a central building.

Not until 1977 did the building's function as a hospital stop, at which time it was moved to a newer modern hospital in Brugge Sint-Pieters. The city of Bruges took over the buildings. Today part of the hospital complexhighest common factor of n and o.

Supposenoted numerous times that he’d rather Hillary than Trump.

That being said, James Kirchickm, a pundit, and fellow at Foreign Policy Initiative, a think tank directed by Kristol actually endorsed Hillary Clinton last year. This recent concession to Trump by the war hawks implies one thing—Trump is now a neocon and is just like Hillary.

In a recent article by world-renowned journalist, John Pilger, this Hillary/Trump similarity was laid out perfectly.

Pilger writes:

When Donald Trump addressed the United Nations on 19 September – a body established to spare humanity the “scourge of war” – he declared he was “ready, willing and able” to “totally destroy” North Korea and its 25 million people. His audience gasped, but Trump’s language was not unusual. His rival for the presidency, Hillary Clinton, had boasted she

It doesn’t say that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed — except when it comes to ending gun violence, thwarting school shootings, or preventing “people who want to do horrendous things to get weapons.” The Second Amendment confers no positive right. It recognizes a pre-existing right.

Cris Cyborg will officially make her Bellator debut on Jan. 25 when she clashes with reigning featherweight champion Julia Budd at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

After the former UFC champion signed with the Viacom-owned promotion there were a lot of questions surrounding her first fight and whether or not she would immediately compete for the 145-pound title.

Rather than risk an upset against another opponent or potentially deal with an injury that could delay the highly anticipated fight, Bellator opted to book Cyborg vs. Budd right away.

For her part, Cyborg says she never gave Bellator any input regarding her opponent but rather deferred to them when it came to the matchmaking responsibilities for her debut.

“I never choose my opponent,” Cyborg said at the Bellator 228 post-fight press conference. “Isanctions may constitute violations of protesting students’ rights to free speech, and have been removed or softened from the final versions of most passed legislation.

723 (TN SB0723) and California Assembly Concurrent Resolution 21 (CA ACR 21) require institutions to adopt policies consistent with the Chicago Statement, comprised by a committee of faculty members at the University of Chicago in January 2015 to articulate the University’s “commitment to free, robust, and uninhibited debate and deliberation among all members of the University’s community.” The bills do not include proscriptions for campus sanctions or mandate administrative response to free speech controversies on campus.

Virginia’s House Bill 1401 (VA HB 1401) is perhaps the least proscriptive of the laws passed in 2017, merely stating that colleges and universities may not abridge the constitutional rights of anyone to speak on campus.

We compared the effects of methotrexate (MTX) and nitrous oxide on the methionine (Met) synthase system in two variants of a human glioma cell line. The cells were protected from cytotoxic effect of MTX by adding thymidine and hypoxanthine to the cell culture medium. MTX (0-1 microM) was associated with a dose- and time-dependent reduction in 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-methyl-THF) in both cell lines. Already after 3 hr of exposure, 5-methyl-THF was reduced by 50% and after additional 48 hr, the level was undetectable. In addition to reduction in folate level, homocysteine (Hcy) remethylation in intact cells was markedly inhibited as judged by an increased export of Hcy from the cells, and Met synthase


Q:

What are good series to ask about for Summer 2013?

The summer season of anime starts soon (most premiers are in July). Currently airing series tend to generate a lot of interest and consequently a lot of traffic, so it would be good if we could get some high-quality questions about them. However, we also need those questions to get answered well, which requires that we have members here who are knowledgeable about such series.
With that in mind, I had the idea of informally polling here on meta to get a sense of what series are good fits for our community. This isn't intended to be used for any official business, but it will help some people (like me) decide what series are good to ask about. Of course,    self.assertEqual(self.py.get_pinyin(s), a)

appeals for errors of law. See In re B.B., 826 N.W.2d 425, 428 (Iowa 2013). The district

court’s findings of fact are binding on appeal if supported by substantial evidence, which

means “a reasonable trier of fact could conclude the findings were established by clear

and convincing evidence.” In re J.P., 574 N.W.2d 340, 342 (Iowa 1998). Clear and

and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. High refresh rate IPS monitors are brand new and we are glad to see that ASUS is bringing one to the market so we can finally combine great color, great viewing angles and great refresh rates. The monitor supports DP 1.2a+ and Adaptive Sync which leads us too...

...the fact that this monitor will work with AMD Radeon graphics cards and operate at a variable refresh rate. After talking with AMD's Robert Hallock at the show, he confirmed that AMD will not have a whitelist/blacklist policy for FreeSync displays and that as long as a monitor adheres to the standards of DP 1.2a+ then they will operate in the variable refresh rate window as defined by the display's EDID.

So, as describedtime of launch, hitting as much as $3500 in most regions.

At CES 2015, ASUS has announced the successor to that panel, the PA328Q, a ProArt series display that has better image quality, a better user experience and a much lower starting price.

Available in Q2 for around $1400, the PA328Q is a 32-in 4K 60 Hz monitor that supports full refresh rate in a single stream from either DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0. The true beauty is in the panel itself, using in-plane switching technology for incredible viewing angles and bright, high contrast images. It comes pre-calibrated out of the box:

Designed for photographers, video producers and graphics professionals, PA328Q is factory pre-calibrated to give outstanding industry-leading color accuracy (∆E ≤ 2), with a wide color gamut of 100% sRGB and


Lipid peroxidation, glutathione and ascorbic acid concentrations in tissues of mice treated with oltipraz: influence of cysteine and olive oil pretreatments.
1. The effects of treatment with the antischistosomal drug oltipraz on reduced glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxide (LP) and ascorbic acid (AA) concentrations in the liver, kidney and brain were studied in mice 24 h after drug administration. 2. The influence of pretreatment with cysteine or olive oil on the above variables in oltipraz-treated mice was also investigated. 3. Oltipraz, at single oral doses of 25 and 125 mg/kg, did not affect significantly the concentrations of GSH, LP or AA in any of the tissues studied. 4. At a dose of 625 mg/kg, the drug produced significant increases in GSH concentration in the liver (about 34%), kidney (38%) andbrain (24%). 5. AA concentrations were not significantly affected by the drug treatment in any of the organs studied. 6. However lipid peroxide formation in the liver of mice treated with oltipraz (625 mg/kg) was less than that in control animals by about 45% (P less than 0.05). 7. In other organs it was not significantly affected by the treatment. 8. Oltipraz (625 mg/kg) was given orally to mice which were pretreated with cysteine (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg for 7 days intramuscularly). 9. The cysteine pretreatments did not affect significantly the increases in GSH caused by oltipraz alone, although they were effective in significantly increasing GSH concentrations in saline-treated mice. 10. The oltipraz-induced increases in the concentrations of GSH in liver and kidney was enhanced (by about

PARIS (AP) — Hundreds of rescuers backed by helicopters evacuated about 1,600 people, most of them campers, in three regions of southern France where heavy rain caused flash flooding and transformed rivers and streams into torrents, the interior minister said Thursday.

Hardest hit was the Gard region, where 119 children, many of them from Germany, were evacuated from their campsite at Saint-Julien-de-Peyrolas, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said in a statement.

About 750 people in all were evacuated in Gard, mainly from campsites, a top district official, Thierry Dousset, told France’s BFM-TV news channel.

Search teams that included divers combed swollen waters for a man reported missing. BFM-TV said he was a 70-year-old German citizen serving as a monitor at the Saint-Julien-de-Peyrolas site and feared to have been swept away by


49.6%; aortic volume, 159.36 cm3; and thrombus volume, 58.6%. There were no reported cases of re-intervention or mortality in the perioperative period. Mean follow-up was 32 months +/- 16.8 months (range, 3-66 months) with a mortality rate of 9.4%. AAA-related death was 0 and re-intervention rate was a low 8.9%. Causes of re-intervention included type I endoleak (n=3 [1.6%]), type II endoleak (n=7 [3.7%]), type III endoleak (n=1 [0.5%]), endograft limb thrombosis (n=4 [2.1%]), and access vessel thrombosis (n=2; 1%). Predictors for re-intervention included greater thrombus area (>60%) and thrombus volume (>59%). While greater maximum aortic diameter (>59 mm) and aortic volume (>159 cm3) trended to higher reintervention rate, the results were not statistically significant (P=.62 and P =.12).

A standardized definition for primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after cardiac transplantation was recently proposed by the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT). We sought to characterize the outcomes associated with and identify risk factors for PGD following cardiac transplantation using these criteria at a high volume centre. Donor and recipient medical records of 201 consecutive adult cardiac transplantations performed between November 2012 and March 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients undergoing isolated heart transplantation were diagnosed with none, mild, moderate, or severe PGD using ISHLT criteria. Cumulative survival was calculated according to the Kaplan–Meier method. Associations of risk factors for combined moderate/severe PGD were

BEIJING (Reuters) - China’s commerce ministry said on Thursday that Beijing and Washington will proceed with the bilateral trade negotiations according to plan and that the talks are progressing well.

The ministry, in a statement, said the two sides remain in close communication and that the lead trade negotiators for Beijing and Washington will hold a telephone call on Friday.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he hoped to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next month to sign an interim trade deal during the Nov. 16-17 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next month in Chile, but Chilean officials canceled the summit to focus on restoring law and order in the country amid violent protests.

the cerebral amyloid characteristic of Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. Evidence for the existence of spherons comes from microscopic histological section studies of fixed whole brain tissue. The spherons are observed as randomly dispersed, highly infrequent structures numbering ˜102/mm3.
Various components of spherons (e.g., “DMS”) have previously been identified. It is known that the disintegration of spherons in the brain parenchyma is associated with the onset and progression of cerebral amyloid plaque formation that is characteristic of Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. More specifically, disintegration of spherons releases protein and non-protein components, or mixtures of protein and non-protein components. A portion of the spheron components form cerebral amyloid plaques, while other portions either remain in the brain, or are removed from the brain parenchyma via circulating bodily fluids, includingthe Patriots, Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick their fifth Super Bowl in team history with a score of 34-28.

“It was one of the greatest football games that I had ever seen,” said football fan Jacob Van Divner. “History was made on that Sunday. It was just one crazy thing after another that finally ended with a Patriots win.”

A Super Bowl for New England and its fans was not the only thing that came from this game, however. Tom Brady became the first quarterback to lead his team to five Super Bowl wins. It is a question that has been posed for years, but is Brady now the GOAT? (Greatest of all time)

Dylan Crockard had his own input on that very question. “There isn’t a doubt in my mind

By the way, 3-strand DNA has already been observed in human babies, such as this child born in Manchester, England in 2011. His third strand of DNA was only ‘discovered’ because doctors were trying to find the cause of disabilities he was born with. Unless there is a reason like this to look at the DNA of a baby, it would go unnoticed, so there could potentially be many souls arriving now with a third strand active, slipping in unnoticed. 🙂

Rather than categorically suspending immigration requests at the border, the DHS issued a regulation in December to continue such claims but to have some of the illegal aliens wait in Mexico pending the outcome of the proceedings. As I’ve noted, statute is clear that the same way the president can suspend all entry, he can place partial restrictions or conditions on such entry, a point made by Chief Justice John Roberts himself last year in Trump v. Hawaii. But lower courts are always able to write orders more liberal than recent Supreme Court precedent.

Dolly Gee of the Central District of California, among many other radical opinions overturned by SCOTUS over the years, said the administration must release all children after 20 days, even though the Flores settlement is outdated and statute downright requires the opposite.

Dana Sabraw of the Southern District of California said that parents must be released with children too, thereby ruling on a political argument of the media’s virtue-signaling, when laws were not only written but updated in 1996 to explicitly close this loophole.

Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California ruled that Obama’s amnesty must remain for now, in violation of every immigration law on the books.

Mango & Brown Rice Salad with Herbs & Fried Shallots

After so much rain, it’s hard to know whether to be grateful or to rage at a capricious Mother Nature. Eventually, the rain stops, the clouds part, the sun comes up, and we’re left to wonder why we ever thought we were in control. We pick up the fallen branches, and we survey the damage, and we reach out to help our neighbors, and we carry on. It feels frivolous to talk recipes now, yet there’s nothing more life-affirming and community-validating than food. And with crops lost, equipment damaged, animals displaced, our farmers need us now more than ever. Let’s all buy what they’ve got, find a simple way toin the lemongrass and finish cooking, then remove pan from the heat and let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine rice, mango, green onions, peppers, cilantro, mint, and basil. Season to taste with salt and pour cooled oil and shallot mixture over all. Squeeze one of the limes over the salad and toss gently. Cut the second lime in quarters and serve with lime wedges.

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to the field of deposition tool cleaning. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for cleaning plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) tools.
2. Background Art
In the electronics industry, various techniques have been developed whereby selected materials, such as, conductors, insulators, or semiconductors, may be deposited on a substrate. For example, such techniques are often used to deposit successive conductive, semi-conductive, or insulative layers on a silicon wafer in the production of an integrated circuit (IC). Generally, deposition techniques result in a film of deposition materials collecting on surfaces other than the target substrate, that is, the deposition materials also collect on the tool surfaces or other equipment used in the deposition process. In many electronic component fabrication processes, a very clean environment# Chronicle Configuration

## HTTP Response Caching

Caching was implemented since version 1.2.0.

If your Chronicle instance is receiving a lot of traffic, it may be
beneficial to cache HTTP responses for a few seconds.

To enable caching, first you will need to install the **Memcached**
extension from PECL.

(There are [instructions available online for installing Memcached on Debian](https://serverpilot.io/docs/how-to-install-the-php-memcache-extension).
If you need instructions for your operating system, please inquire with their support team.)

Next, edit `local/settings.json` and set `"cache"` to an integer greater than 0
to cache responses for a given number of seconds.

It's recommended to set this to a value greater than `1` but less than `60`.
Some applications may dislike responses that are more than 1 minute old.

The number of tracks to be traversed is calculated from the difference between the target track number to be accessed and the current track number and, thereupon, the slider of the voice coil motor is moved such that the beam spot travels the distance corresponding to the calculated number of tracks. At this time, the voice coil motor makes the slide motion in a target speed according to target speeds preprogrammed for numbers of tracks to be traversed.
While the voice coil motor is making a sliding motion, the current sliding speed is detected, and a drive current in accordance with the difference between the detected current sliding


Edgar Van Nuys Allen

Edgar Van Nuys Allen (June 22, 1900 – June 14, 1961) was an American doctor who was a native of Cozad, Nebraska. He is remembered for his work done as a Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Edgar Allen was a specialist in cardiovascular medicine, and particularly known for his research of peripheral vascular disease. His name is lent to the eponymous "Allen test", a procedure used to determine blood supply to the hand. He conducted extensive research and development of dicumarol, an anti-coagulant that is produced from coumarin.

During World War II, he served as an Army officer in the Medical Corps.

Early life and education
Allen was born on June 22, 1900 in Cozad, Nebraska to Charles Edgar Allen and Sue Morrow.components to the surrounding tissue and thus initiates detrimental side reactions in the organism. In addition, the heat of reaction generated during polymerisation may cause destruction of the tissue. These and other reasons may lead to loosening of the prosthesis. The above disadvantages have given rise to various research activities aimed at developing cementless anchoring systems.
The improved tissue compatibility of highly stable oxide-ceramic prosthesis materials had suggested that these materials would be suitable for achieving direct bone-ceramic attachment (ingrowth of bone into the ceramic) and thus permit cementless achoring. Special surface structures of the prosthesis shaft characterised by grooves, cavities or the like were to foster the process of of mechanical anchoring. Unfortunately it has become obvious that this type of anchoring is not suitable for prostheses subject


Introduction
============

Congenital nystagmus (CN) is a common oculomotor disorder with a frequency of 1/20,000 live births \[[@r1]\]. It is characterized by involuntary, rhythmical, repeated oscillations of one or both eyes with onset typically at birth or within the first few months of life. Patients' oscillations can be horizontal, vertical, torsional, or any combination of these, although horizontal is the most common \[[@r2]\].

CN is genetically heterogeneous. Two genes responsible for X-linked CN have been identified (i.e., G protein-coupled receptor 143 (*GPR143*) for X-linked ocular albinism

(XLOA) \[[@r3]\] and four-point-one (4.1), ezrin, radixin, moesin (FERM) domain-containing 7 (*FRMD7*) for X-linked CN-1 \[[@r4],[@r5]\]). The third X-linked form of CN has been mapped to Xp11.4-p11.3 \[[@r6]\].

Here, we report on a five-generation Chinese family with X-linked CN. Mutation analysis of the two candidate genes (*FRMD7*a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain were normal in the proband.

### Nystagmus and reduced visual acuity

The nine patients all had nystagmus and poor visual acuity as a first symptom. The nystagmus was present during their first three months of life with a corrected visual acuity (VA) of 0.1--0.2. The proband's (V:4) nystagmus was sometimes associated with head nodding, and the amplitude varied with horizontal gaze position. In all patients, the nystagmus had a tendency to diminish with age, while it rarely disappeared completely (e.g., the proband's grandfather (III:5) continued to experience nystagmus even at age 60). The proband's mother (IV:9), a carrier, did not experience nystagmus, and her VA was normal.

### Fundus hypopigmentation and foveal hypoplasia

In the present study, fundus examinations were performed in most patients,

Compared with an unaffected member ([Figure 3C](#f3){ref-type="fig"}), the proband exhibited mild peripheral iris hypopigmentation, as shown in [Figure 3A](#f3){ref-type="fig"}. As a carrier, his mother did not show peripheral iris hypopigmentation ([Figure 3B](#f3){ref-type="fig"}).

Mutation screening
------------------

The nine patients and the fetus (V:5) were hemizygous for a novel splicing mutation c.658+1G\>T ([Figure 4A,C](#f4){ref-type="fig"}), while carriers were heterozygousof mesangial hypercellularity (M1), and more severe acute tubulointerstitial lesions in renal pathology (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively). After 8 weeks of corticosteroid therapy, no significant differences were observed in the rate of complete remission, partial remission, and no remission between MCDIgAN and MCD patients (88.3% vs. 90.9%, 10.4% vs. 5.2%, 1.3% vs. 3.9%, p > 0.05). The median time to achieve remission was 4 weeks (range 1 - 24 weeks) and 4 weeks (range 1 - 28 weeks), respectively. No significant difference existed in the efficacy of corticosteroid between the two groups. During 3.96 years (range 3.0 - 8.5 years) of follow-up, no patients in the two groups entered end-stage renal disease (ESRD), only 2 patients (2.6%) with MCD-IgAN had > 50% reduction of eGFR.

I’m impressed by how much of its world Herald manages to fit into a few hours of gameplay with a minimum of exposition. As a player, I didn’t feel as though it was beating me over the head with its politics- while the writer’s feelings on colonialism come through very clearly, they don’t interfere with the story. They don’t pull you out to preach “Hey look, oppressing people and forcing a culture upon them is hurtful!”- instead, the oppression and the arguments against colonialism are very well written into a story with characters who quite clearly believe in the system and its


Nov. 11, 1918 was the day the guns fell silent at the end of the Great War. On this Veterans Day, we celebrate the poetry of World War I, one of the legacies of that conflict.

Soldiers like Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, John McCrae and Rupert Brooke wrote evocative poems about their experiences. One of the most famous poems of the war is Brooke's "The Soldier." Brooke died of dysentery aboard a troop ship headed for Gallipoli in April 1915. The opening verse of "The Soldier" reads:

If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign fieldThat is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowersby cutting a length of tube stock which may be a metal or a polymer. One end of the tube is joined to a funnel insert and the opposite end is joined to a fuel tank. Preferably, the fuel filler tube includes an integrally formed nozzle receptor.

6,668,455 B2 to Duvall, et al. describes a multi-layer tube having a metal inner tube having a Zn coating such as Zn plating, Zn—Ni alloys, Zn—Co alloys, Zn—Al alloys, and mixtures thereof, and a surface treatment coating bonded to the Zn layer. The Zn layer is a Zn/Al/rare earth alloy, phosphate, chromate or a mixture thereof. One or more polymeric layers form the outer surface of the tube. The invention is concerned with the removal of the one or more polymeric outer layers adjacent the sealing areas of the tube to prevent potential loss of assembly torque over the long term of a vehicle's life, which could occur if the relatively soft polymeric material should extrude out of the sealing area and fitting compression area after assembly.

The differences between the farmers concerned: severity of the disease, level of education and income, frequency of smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol, kinds of support they receive from their families, and the level of depression and anxiety experienced by the patients. <b>Results.</b> The study revealed that most patients suffered from depressive and anxiety disorders, and the level of depression higher among the patients who smoked more. Lack of family support had significant influence on exacerbation of the patient's depressive and anxiety symptoms. Patients who had recently experienced a critical situation presented with more severe COPD symptoms, lower quality of life and a higher level of depression. Higher income of the patients had positive influence on their quality of life. Farmers addicted to alcohol


rings as ideal probes for sensing the dynamics of the long linear matrix chains through their effect on the long-time dynamics of the rings; this reveals immediately the entanglement spacing. Previous computer simulation studies \[[@B32-polymers-08-00283],[@B33-polymers-08-00283],[@B34-polymers-08-00283],[@B35-polymers-08-00283],[@B36-polymers-08-00283],[@B37-polymers-08-00283]\] have addressed the opposite effect, namely the influence of the presence of a small number of linear chain contaminants on the long-time dynamics and viscoelastic properties of melts of long polymer rings.

Both experimental measurements and computer simulations provide convincing evidence that the long-time behavior of polymer rings is controlled by strong topological interactions related either with ring--ring or with linear--ring threading. It appears that linear--ring interpenetrations are, on average, active for significantly longer times than ring--ring ones, thus they have a stronger impact on ring dynamics \[[@B37-polymers-08-00283]\]. One can envisage that ring--ring andthe Nosé--Hoover thermostat \[[@B55-polymers-08-00283],[@B56-polymers-08-00283]\] coupled with the Parrinello--Rahman \[[@B57-polymers-08-00283]\] barostat to keep the temperature *T* and the pressure *P* fixed at the desired values (*T* = 413 K and *P* = 1 atm). As it can be inferred from [Table 1](#polymers-08-00283-t001){ref-type="table"}, large cubic simulation cells (subject to periodic boundary conditions) were employed in all simulations (containing in some cases over 720 chains and more than 10^5^ atoms) to minimize finite system size effects. The equations of motion were integrated using a single time step equal to 2 fs.

Initial configurations were created using the commercially available software platform MAPS \[[@B58-polymers-08-00283]\] following a systematic approach that avoids ring--ring concatenation and self-knotting. All technical details regarding system preparation can be found elsewhere \[[@B33-polymers-08-00283]\]. The atomistic configurations were subjected to potential energy


is simultaneously threaded by ten linear chains.

An important question raised by Goossen et al. \[[@B21-polymers-08-00283]\] was what is the effect of the guest ring molecules on the tube diameter *d*~t~ of the host linear chains in the three blends. The tube diameter is a very difficult quantity to calculate and, in the literature, is typically taken to be equal to the corresponding Kuhn step length of the PP. However, Stephanou et al. \[[@B63-polymers-08-00283]\] have proposed a method that leads directly to the calculation of the tube diameter *d~t~* by monitoring the mean-square displacement (msd) of the innermost chain segments $\phi(t) = \left\langle \left( {\mathbf{r}_{n}(t) - \mathbf{r}_{n}(0)} \right)^{2} \right\rangle$ vs. time *t* and observing the 1st break signaling the onset of tube constraints on segmental dynamics. The tube diameter*d*~t~ is then estimated as $d_{t} = 2\sqrt{\phi\left( t^{*} \right)}$ where $\phi(t^{*})$ is the value of $\phi(t)$ at the time $t = t^{*}$ where the slope of $\phi(t)$ starts to change as the msd leaves the initial *t*^1/2^ regime to enter the next *t*^1/4^ regime. The method was applied by Stephanou et al. \[[@B63-polymers-08-00283]\] to melts of entangled linear polyethylene and *cis*-1,4-polybutadiene melts with remarkable success. It was also found that the usual approach to take the tube radius equal to the Kuhn step length of the PP overestimates *d*~t~ by 15%--30%.

A typical calculation of *d*~t~ with the Stephanou et al. \[[@B63-polymers-08-00283]\] method is shown in [Figure 13](#polymers-08-00283-f013){ref-type="fig"}; it refers to the pure 20k linear PEO melt. We see that as the linear chain segments "feel" the tube


constraints, a break in their displacement appears; the resulting value of the tube diameter then is *d*~t~ = 40 ± 5 Å. Given that the segmental msd's of 20k linear chains are identical in the L-20k blend and in their own melt (see [Figure 7](#polymers-08-00283-f007){ref-type="fig"}), we understand that the same value of *d*~t~ should characterize the L-20k blend as well. For the 10k linear chains, the corresponding prediction for the tube diameter (both in the L-10k blend and in their melt) is *d*~t~ = 33 ± 3 Å. Our estimate (*d*~t~ = 40 ± 5 Å) for the tube diameter in the L-20k blend is in excellent agreement with the value reported by Goossen et al. \[[@B21-polymers-08-00283]\] (*d*~t~ = 42 ± 1 Å) through a description of tube4:20 after leading 10-2, and Bowers took care of Ricky Javier after building an 8-3 advantage.

Caesar Maruca (5-7) suffered Punxsy's first loss at 140 pounds. After trailing 6-0 to Slade Horner during the second period, Maruca lost by fall in 3:14.

With Punxsy ahead 13-6, the Elkers won three-straight bouts by decision to leap ahead 15-13.

The first came from Kyle Caggiano, who decisioned Nathan McGregor (9-3), 5-0. An illegal hold that was contested by Punxsy's coaches helped Caggiano score his first point, and he added a first-period takedown and two third-period back points.

Another shutout in Ridgway's favor came from Jake Himes, who took out
