interacting PNe [@Ransom+2008; @Ransom+2010]. Polarimetric observations at frequencies $\leq$3 GHz (wavelengths $\geq$10 cm) are very sensitive to Faraday rotation of the diffuse Galactic synchrotron emission [e.g., @Landecker+2010]. In propagating through an ionized (and magnetized) medium, the polarized component of the background emission is rotated at wavelength $\lambda$\[m\] through an angle $$\Delta\theta = \rm{RM}\,\lambda^2\ [\rm{rad}],$$ where RM is the rotation measure and depends on the line-of-sight (LOS) component of the magnetic field, $B_{\|}$$[\mu\rm{G}]$, the thermal electron density, $n_e$$[\rm{cm}^{-3}]$, and the path length, $dl$$[\rm{pc}]$, as $$\rm{RM} = 0.81\int{B_{\|}\,n_e\,dl\ [\rm{rad}\,\rm{m}^{-2}]}.$$ Even in the relatively low electron-density environment of a PN tail, a rotation at 1420 MHz ($\lambda = 21~\rm{cm}$) of the background polarization angle of $\Delta\theta \gtrsim 10\arcdeg$ is possible, and leads to a Faraday-rotation structure which is readily observable, provided the background isfilament, with the $\sim$$1.2\arcdeg$ long (on-sky) axis more closely approximating the path length than the $\sim$$0.4\arcdeg$ short axis. For the average angle-equivalent path length through the cloud, we therefore estimate $1.0\arcdeg \pm 0.4\arcdeg$. This translates, at $\rm{d} = 415 \pm 120$ pc, to a physical path length $\Delta l = 7.2 \pm 3.6$ pc. Given the $\sim$$50\%$ uncertainty in this estimate, we adopt the same path length for the peaks. Thus we derive a mean hydrogen density over the cloud $n_H = 1.9 \pm
1.0$ $\rm{cm}^{-3}$, and hydrogen densities $n_H = 4.0 \pm
2.1$ $\rm{cm}^{-3}$ and $n_H = 2.6 \pm 1.4$ $\rm{cm}^{-3}$ for the (smoothed) northeast and southwest peaks, respectively. (We show two significant figures here to allow an inter-comparison of the mean and peak values.) For point of interest, we note that there is


$I$ emission apply also to these regions. The mean brightness temperature is $T_b = 0.070 \pm
0.005$ K for region 4 and $T_b = 0.060 \pm 0.005$ K for region 7. Assuming $T_e = 10000 \pm 2000$ K in these ionized regions, we estimate a mean EM of $45 \pm 5$ $\rm{cm}^{-6}$pc in region 4 and $38 \pm 5$ $\rm{cm}^{-6}$pc in region 7. For the angle-equivalent path lengths, we estimate for each region $0.15\arcdeg \pm
0.05\arcdeg$. These path lengths represent on the low end the approximate widths of the Faraday-rotation region and on the high end the path length through a spherical $\sim$$0.32\arcdeg$-diameter-halo along sightlines $\sim$$0.05\arcdeg$ from its edge. At $\rm{d} = 415
\pm 120$ pc, the angle-equivalent path length for each region translates to a physical path length $\Delta l = 1.1 \pm 0.5$ pc. For regioninterpretation. Changes in RM along the projected trajectory of GD 561 indicate that the ISM magnetic field is significantly deflected around . Such a deflection cannot easily be explained by a Str[ö]{}mgren zone. The presence and motion of GD 561 alone should not alter the ambient field. GD 561 could have a residual wind, but it seems unlikely that such a wind would be dense enough to produce the observed deflection.

Even if itself is not a Str[ö]{}mgren zone, the $I$-emission halo surrounding likely does represent the extent to which GD 561’s ionizing photons penetrate the ambient cloud. Using the range of effective temperatures (see Table \[thestar\]) and the estimated bolometric magnitude [see @Frew2008PhDT] for GD 561, we estimate that ionizing photons are emitted at a rate $L^{\star}_{\rm{91.2}} = (3.5 \pm 1.9) \times
10^{45}$ $\rm{photons}\,\rm{s}^{-1}$. We adopt


a (mean) angular radius for the halo of $\sim$$0.2\arcdeg$, which, at $\rm{d} = 415 \pm
120$ pc, translates to a physical radius $R_{S} = 1.45 \pm 0.42$ pc. With this estimated luminosity and radius, we derive (assuming $T_{\rm{gas}} \approx 10^4$ K for the halo) a Str[ö]{}mgren-zone particle density $n_e = n_p = 6^{+4}_{-3}$ $\rm{cm}^{-3}$. This particle density is consistent with what we find for the neutral hydrogen density near the peaks in the cloud, and suggests that the uninterrupted cloud had, rather than two dense knots, a modest north-to-south density gradient along its central ridge. Since the density at the edges of the cloud are lower, we see the halo perimeter stretch out on either side of the ridge (see Figure \[AllInOne\]). Along position angles approximately orthogonal to the ridge, ionizing photons from GD 561between and the cloud: the expansion of the PN shell has been halted at the leading edge and restricted elsewhere, and the overall motion of has been slowed in the cloud by a factor $\sim$3 compared to GD 561.

If GD 561 evolved via the standard AGB route, its low mass (see Table \[thestar\]) implies a post-AGB age $>$$10^6$ yr [@Blocker1995b]. This is a factor $>$5 times larger than the interaction timescale we estimate for . The age gap is similarly problematic if we consider a post-early-AGB evolution; i.e., evolution following the early termination of the AGB stage (@DormanRO1993; @Blocker1995b). However, if GD 561 evolved via a red-giant-branch (RGB) route, its estimated (post-RGB) age is $\sim$$10^5$ yr [@Driebe+1998]. No observed PNe have been unambiguously identified as post-RGB objects [e.g., @DeMarco2009; @Hall+2013], but RGB remnants, i.e.,


Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à L’Hôtel De Paris, Monaco, 10/21/17

Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse in à L’Hôtel De Paris is a 3 star Michelin restaurant. While the hotel is undergoing renovation the restaurant is in a temporary location, but if you didn’t know that you’d never guess, as the room is decorated in an elegant modern decor. This spot will eventually become a breakfast and lunch restaurant which seems perfect as the doors from it lead onto the lovely terrace and ocean view. One interesting feature, besides the well spaced tables and comfortable leather seating, was the large oval shaped linen napkin. Service is attentive without being intrusive and as chatty as you desire, with most speaking perfect English. At lunch there is an ato fall through the holes in the purse stool

Seared scallops from Dieppe were served with watercress soup and chestnuts. The scallops were sweet with the watercress providing a nice contrasting sauce. Topping the scallops were crunchy tops of bread and chestnuts. A very fun and tasty dish.

Milk-fed lamb was served alongside red leaves lettuce salad and tiny spelt. The evenly pink lamb was delicate and tender with no dry bits. The spelt was served at the table and was totally tasty. The lettuce was topped with a rich lamb sauce. This dish smoked the scallops – it was a great course and the clearly more flavor intense of the two choices.

A palate cleanser was a granita of green apple and rocket leaves. There was a bit of gel

We quantified the relative expression of cav-1 and cav-2 in tracheal epithelial cells in rats held under standard conditions or SPF conditions. In both groups, cav-2 expression was higher than that of cav-1. Cav-2 expression levels were 22.2 times higher than that of cav-1 under standard conditions and 25.8 times higher in animals housed under SPF conditions (Figure [1B](#F1){ref-type="fig"}).

Electron microscopy
-------------------

In agreement with the immunohistochemical results, we observed caveolae at the basolateral cell membrane of the ciliated cells and at the cell membrane of the basal cells in rat trachea (Figures [6A--C](#F6){ref-type="fig"}). Caveolae were more frequent in basal cells. In agreement with the immunohistochemical findings in the mouse trachea, caveolae were only found in the basal cells (Figures [6D--F](#F6){ref-type="fig"}). Basal cells were devoid of caveolae in tracheae of cav-1-deficient mice (Figures [6G--I](#F6){ref-type="fig"}).

CLSM-FRET in tissue sections
----------------------------

Conventional indirect double-labeling immunofluorescence with subsequent FRET-CLSM analysis was conducted to determine whether cav-1 and cav-2 are in close apposition in airway epithelial cells in situ, thereby indicating an association


of both proteins and formation of hetero-oligomers. Distinct increase of fluorescence (ΔIF) was observed in the bleached area with a median value of 2.72 (n = 16 regions of interest of tracheae obtained from 4 rats; Figure [7](#F7){ref-type="fig"}). A false-positive FRET signal that can be caused by cross-reactivity of secondary antibodies was excluded by applying both secondary antibodies to sections incubated with anti-cav-1 α antibody only (median ΔIF = 0.287). Since the caveolins are membrane proteins, we measured ΔIF in the region of the basolateral plasma membrane. ΔIF measured in this region was higher (ΔIF = 4.795) than that in the whole bleached area. The ΔIF measured in the controls in the same region was low (ΔIF = 0.55). The difference between ΔIF observed in the experimental groupmake farmers more resilient, and ultimately make them eligible to mitigate the risk associated with climate variations \[[@pone.0236794.ref046]\]. Diverse package of adaptation measures helps in attaining resilience to offset CC losses \[[@pone.0236794.ref047]\].

Resilience can be a prompt recovery \[[@pone.0236794.ref048]\] and in the present context, it is supporting farmers to recover from CC vulnerabilities. Here, in this study, we have taken farmers as the main stakeholders, who are vulnerable in the form of their yield and income losses, and worsening poverty situations. In the current scenario, farmers cannot get resilience without taking the remedial measures \[[@pone.0236794.ref049]\] and CC adaptations can help farmers to bounce back to their normal position.

A handsome amount of literature presents relevant contributions and most of these studies are problem and region-specific, and a research gap still

rural households from climate variability. Outcomes from this study could contribute to an understanding of how to better coordinate the relative strengths and contributions of adaptations with the resilient behaviours to cope on-ground challenges of climate variations, as measures of increased resilience enhance adaptive capacity and decrease the vulnerability of farmers. After the essential part of the introduction and review of the literature, the remaining paper is arranged as follows: Section 2 elucidates the methodology and data used in the study. Section 3 and 4 are about assessed results and their discussion, and finally, section 5 concludes the problem under discussion based on outcomes and provides policy lessons for the solution of the issue.

Materials and methods {#sec002}
=====================

Data {#sec003}
----

To ascertain the objectives of the study, the farm-level household survey1](#pone.0236794.e003){ref-type="disp-formula"}, $$A_{i}^{x} = Z_{i}^{x}a + \mu i$$ $$A_{i} = 1\ {If}A_{i}^{x} > 0\ {and}\ A_{i}{= 0\ {If}\ A}_{i}^{x} \leq 0$$

Where $A_{i}^{x}$ is a dummy for expected utility, $Z_{i}^{x}a$ is a vector for the parameter of observed variable and *ϵ*~i~ is error term following the normal distribution. Here, the utility is expected to gain from adaptation in the form of an increase in the yield, income, reduction of poverty and resilience form vulnerability of climate. It is assumed that if a farmer adopts the adaptation then he may gain welfare, and resilience from vulnerability.

ESR is a parametric approach, which addresses the problem of selective biased and missing unobserved characteristics, which influence the decision to adopt the adaptation to CC \[[@pone.0236794.ref066]--[@pone.0236794.ref070]\]. It follows the two-stage analysis.

###### Mean difference between adapters and non-adapters.

  Variable  addition to the above, smartphones provide updated to the farmers about several adaptation strategies being applied to the agriculture sector around the globe. Coefficient of smartphone use is statistically different from zero and has a positive sign in case of adapter but negative for non-adapters, showing that adapter uses smartphone to get an update on climate risk and farm-level adaptation measures. In contrast, it is assumed that non-adapters are conventional and proportionately less efficient, and does not much rely on such technologies. Further, the smartphone showed a positive significant impact on per capita income headcount in the case of adapters. Per capita income headcount has strong linkage with the crop productivity. Meticulously, it can be said that an increase in the use of smartphones can help in increasing

Under the guardianship law, once a parent establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence that there has been a material change in circumstances, the guardian has to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that terminating the guardianship is not in child’s best interests. The law instructs the court to consider all relevant factors, but also lists specific factors for the court to consider when evaluating the child’s best interests. Those factors are:

The interaction and interrelationship of the minor with the parent and the members of the parent’s household

The ability of the parent to provide a safe, nurturing environment for the minor

The relative stability of the parties and the minor

The minor's adjustment to his or her home, school, and community, including the length of time that the minor haspetition. In minor guardianship cases, if a nonparent does not have standing, or the right to petition for guardianship, the case must be dismissed. The purpose of a standing requirement is to preserve parents’ fundamental right to raise their children.

A nonparent has standing to petition for guardianship if each parent:

Voluntarily relinquished physical custody of the child

Failed to appear for a hearing after proper notice and is unwilling and unable to make and carry out day to day child care decisions or

Consented to the guardianship in a written, dated and notarized document

The Petitioner must overcome, by a preponderance of the evidence, the rebuttable presumption that a parent is willing and able to care for the minor and that their appointment is in the minor’s best interest. 755 ILCS 5/11-5.

interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data\"* ( [Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2020](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/statistics)). To put this definition into context, it implies: refining the study design in order to efficiently address the study's research hypothesis while minimising bias, defining data to be collected, appropriately analysing data collected, and interpreting results in such a way as to facilitate clinical decision making.

Clinical data management (CDM) facilitates the statistical aspects in a clinical trial. CDM activity in a trial involves the appropriate collection, management, access to and cleaning of clinical research data. The integrity of statistical analysis in a trial ultimately depends on the quality of the data that is available for analysis ( [@ref-1]; [@ref-5]; [@ref-8]). The validity of a clinical research study is therefore not solely judged on its results, butprimary studies of any study design including studies that collect or analyse primary data through means of a secondary analysis. A preliminary scope of the literature revealed a lack of empirical literature in this field and therefore we will also include discussion/commentary papers.

Search methodology
------------------

Keyword search terms are informed by conducting a preliminary scope of the literature. The search strategy for this review is created and refined with the assistance of an information specialist (health sciences liaison librarian), experienced in systematic reviews. Key words are first identified, followed using controlled vocabulary search terms in individual databases.

The SPICE (Setting -- Perspectives -- Intervention -- Comparison -- Evaluation) framework is considered to be the best fit for the search strategy required in this systematic review, as the individual search features are


extraction, analysis and synthesis process is to extract factors influencing statistics, statistical processes, statistical interactions, and other statistical aspects in all stages of a clinical trial. For this review, 'factors' can be defined as any element impacting, influencing, or contributing to any aspect of statistical planning, design, conduct, analysis and reporting in trials. A narrative thematic synthesis approach will be used to collate and describe the key information from all included sources. This approach has been used to analyse data and information extracted from both quantitative and qualitative studies ( [@ref-9]).

Each stage of the analysis will be documented, as it is important to maintain transparency about how patterns within the data are identified, and to note any similarities or differences between sources. A coding frame will be presented.322 and 801.

energy density of LIBs (150--200 Wh kg^−1^) is still insufficient to promote their universal application in electric vehicles (EVs), wearable electronic devices, smart grid systems, etc.[4](#advs414-bib-0004){ref-type="ref"}, [5](#advs414-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"} Carbon‐based materials are the current mainstream anodes on the market, however they have been faced with a bottleneck due to their low theoretical capacity (372 mA h g^−1^ for graphite). As the capacities of cathode materials have been constantly progressing, it is vital that we develop new anode materials with higher capacities. Although having similar electrochemical energy storage mechanism, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) usually have poorer electrochemical properties than that of LIBs because of the much bigger size of Na^+^ (0.59 Å for Li^+^ and 1.02 Å for Na^+^ in radius). This big Na^+^ size results in poor kinetic performance and large2010, American Chemical Society. g) Cycling performance of anodes containing 30 wt% Sn/SnO~2~ NCs in electrolyte with/without FEC (calculating based on the content of active material). h) Cycling performance comparison of Sn/SnO~2~ NCs and commercial samples.

Nanostructure Sn can promote the homogeneous lithiation/delithiation in a single particle and alleviate the volume mismatch, thus avoiding crack propagation and improving structural stability. However, because of the soft nature of Sn, aggregation inevitably occurs after cycling even in 30 nm Sn particles. Further control of the Sn particle size is pursued by researchers. Kravchyk et al.[33](#advs414-bib-0033){ref-type="ref"} synthesized monodisperse Sn


SnS NCs exhibited the best rate capability, which had the strongest transformation tendency toward α‐Sn. Wang et al.[45](#advs414-bib-0045){ref-type="ref"} used in situ TEM to study the electrochemical sodiation mechanism of Sn nanoparticles in a nanobattery configuration. It was found that pristine Sn could be sodiated in two steps. In the first step, amorphous Na*~x~*Sn (*x* ≈ 0.5) is formed through migrating phase boundary alloying reaction, with a mild volume expansion of 60%. In the second step, amorphous Na~2~Sn is further sodiated to amorphous Na~9~Sn~4~ and Na~3~Sn, and finally to crystalline Na~15~Sn~4~, with a final volume change of 420%.

In summary, size control has been proven to be an effective way to mitigate the pulverization and prolong the cycling life of Sn‐based electrode materials. It was found that there exists aThereby, size reduction of bare Sn may not be a feasible approach to the practical utilization of Sn anodes.

2.2. Sn Nanoparticles in Carbon Matrix {#advs414-sec-0040}
--------------------------------------

In order to take full advantage of being small in size and avoid the negative effects of nanocrystallization, researchers try to control the Sn size by dispersing it in a carbon matrix.[6](#advs414-bib-0006){ref-type="ref"}, [22](#advs414-bib-0022){ref-type="ref"}, [26](#advs414-bib-0026){ref-type="ref"}, [48](#advs414-bib-0048){ref-type="ref"}, [49](#advs414-bib-0049){ref-type="ref"}, [50](#advs414-bib-0050){ref-type="ref"}, [51](#advs414-bib-0051){ref-type="ref"}, [52](#advs414-bib-0052){ref-type="ref"}, [53](#advs414-bib-0053){ref-type="ref"}, [54](#advs414-bib-0054){ref-type="ref"}, [55](#advs414-bib-0055){ref-type="ref"} The stable and flexible carbon matrix can effectively suppress the tendency of grain aggregation and growth during preparation, thus controlling the Sn particle sizes with a relatively simple process at low cost. In addition, the carbon matrix prevents the direct contact of Sn and electrolyte and greatly avoids the adverse side reactions, thereby improving the coulombic efficiency.[52](#advs414-bib-0052){ref-type="ref"} The carbon matrix also works

keeps catfish inspections in the Agriculture Department, where the bureaucracy protects the catfish industry from foreign competition.  Alas, there is a deal for almost every politician at the expense of $1 trillion to the taxpayers.

To sell this to America, the Senate and House committee chairs offered these vacuous statements, claiming bipartisan created savings and job creation:

"Today's bipartisan agreement puts us on the verge of enacting a five-year farm bill that saves taxpayers billions, eliminates unnecessary subsidies, creates a more effective farm safety-net and helps farmers and businesses create jobs," said Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)

"We are putting in place sound policy that is good for farmers, ranchers, consumers, and those who have hit difficult times," said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-OK)

Hoping not to awaken Americansto this “log rolling” deal, Speaker Boehner rushed the bill through the House, where he needed and received Democrat support.  Then, Sen. Harry Reid will manipulate the bill through the Senate.  Quickly, President Obama will sign the legislation into law.

Again, political insiders call this “log rolling,”  and the expense to the American public is enormous.  It is a blatant taking of property, which incrementally reduces everyone’s wealth, security and freedom.

The Bebop crew is just trying to make a buck. This motely lot of intergalactic loners teams up to track down fugitives and turn them in for cold hard cash. Spike is a hero whose cool façade hides a dark and deadly past. The pilot Jet is a bruiser of a brute who can’t wait to collect the nextsix minutes. It seems particularly cruel as she had come into these Games on such a tide of goodwill and sympathy, having lost both her parents to cancer last year. Amid all the tears spilled over the last two weeks, Stevenson's, after her defeat to Paige McPherson of the USA, were surely among the most poignant.

Another British player (and they do call them players, not fighters), Lutalo Muhammad, is still in the competition. Yet while there had only been goodwill towards Stevenson, there was controversy, and much adverse comment in the media, over his selection ahead of Aaron Cook, the world number one.

Stressful

It wasn't Muhammad's fault that he was picked over Cook, but the 21-year old from Walthamstow has endured a stressful couple of months. Not merely stressful,


taekwondo player, faces Nicolas Garcia Hemme of Spain and starts cautiously: it's 0-0 after round one. In the second, with the Spaniard off-balance, Muhammad lunges and catches him on the back of the head. But it's the Spaniard who is awarded a point. No idea why.

There are points for offensive kicking, defensive kicking, offensive punching and defensive punching. There is also a kyong-go (warning penalty) and a gam-jeom (deduction penalty). But the main object seems to be to kick your opponent in the head.

There are several appeals and deliberations between the referee and the officials, and in the end Muhammad loses. He slumps to the mat and remains there for some time, clearly devastated. He stops briefly on his way out the arena, but appears almost unable toso be careful to its thickness. It must be neither too thin, nor too high.

BlackBerry forum: Can a Blackberry be used without data plan?

Hi all,I am trying to find a way to buy a blackberry (or any other smartphone) without the annoying data plan. Is their anyway around this, e.g. Craigslist,eBay,ect.?Any answers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Nothing strange ,,,I use WiFi to download stuff,,,I have smartphone (Nokia N97 mini) and it works without date plan, my Q is are there some phones made not to work w/o data plan or companies just try to make us buy more services from them. Am thinking get unlocked BB storm 2 for my DH (we have Tmobile) but all notifications that it may not work wo data plane got me confused,,,so if someone could answer original question it would be great!

There is no clearused to establish communication with your wireless carrier.

As far as what plans your carrier has, I have no idea but the phones themselves don't need a data plan to work.

One other thing... very often with voice plans you will get a slow pay-per use data access for older web pages (called WAP pages). There is a pay-per use charge (usually per kilobyte) however most carriers let you browse their home portal page for free since it links to pay products. You can turn the data feature of the phone off in the options i mentioned above to disable this. Turning this feature off still keeps your wifi working by the way.

One last point... Blackberry.com lets you download apps to your computer and install them over a USB cable

Old Thread Warning!

This thread is more than days old. It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and replying to it will serve no purpose. However, if you feel it is necessary to makefreshman Aashari Crosswell had a good season as well with four interceptions. Jalen Harvey rounded out a very good secondary as he finished second on the team in total tackles despite missing four games.

What to Look Forward to

Eno Benjamin will be one of the best running backs in college football next season as he burst onto the scene in 2018. Benjamin will also be running behind an offensive line that returns four starters including second team all Pac 12 center Cohl Cabral. Linebacker Merlin Robertson will be back after a stellar freshman season, and should be even better in 2019. Aashari Crosswell made a name for himself at safety in 2018, and will look to do more of the same in 2019. Cornerback Chase Lucas is another holdover


155 and 143 total tackles respectively. Weaver and Kunaszyk always had a nose for the ball, and let very little get past them. Safety Jaylinn Hawkins was another impact player on the defense, as he had six interceptions. Outside linebacker Tevin Paul led the defense with 11 tackles for loss. Traveon Beck also stepped up as a shutdown corner. Defensive end Luc Bequette was another playmaker, leading the team in sacks. Offensively, running back Patrick Laird led the show as a workhorse back with 961 rushing yards while Vic Wharton led the receiving corps.

What to Look Forward to

Evan Weaver was a major defensive contributor, being named second team all Pac 12 at linebacker, and will return as the leader of the defense. Defensive end Luc Bequette will alsonice to have, as was a win over rival USC. Their record ballooned to 4-0 after a comeback win at Oregon, but the Cardinal soon fell back to earth. After the win against Oregon, Stanford was blown out at Notre Dame, which was a bit expected. What was not expected was a 40-21 drubbing at the hands of Utah. A tight win at Arizona State only temporarily stopped the bleeding as it was followed by a close loss against Washington State. The Cardinal made it four losses in five games after losing a tight one at Washington, making their record a measly 5-4 and 3-3 in Pac 12 play. Wins over Oregon State and UCLA set the ship straight, and a win over California in the Big Game


struggle, USC is a very talented team. They just need to hope that Helton can redeem himself, and they can still take advantage of a weak division.

UCLA

Last Season in Review

2018 and the Chip Kelly era got off to a rough start for UCLA to say the least. After losing the season opener to Cincinnati, UCLA had to go to Oklahoma where they were blown out. After licking their wounds, UCLA lost yet again to Fresno State to head into Pac 12 play at 0-3 (it should be noted that the Fresno State and Cincinnati losses were a bit more understandable after seeing the seasons those teams had). The Bruins were blown out by Colorado before playing a competitive game against Washington but still falling short. UCLA finally tastedHarris were named first team all Pac 12. Defensively, linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven put up an FBS leading 176 total tackles on the season. Greg Gaines led a strong defensive front, also being named first team all Pac 12. Washington also had one of the nation’s best secondary units led by cornerbacks Byron Murphy and Myles Bryant along with safeties Taylor Rapp and Jojo McIntosh.

What to Look Forward to

Washington has landed a very highly touted quarterback transfer in Jacob Eason. Eason was a five-star recruit in 2016 who has already been touted as a great pro prospect. The ceiling with Eason is definitely high. Salvon Ahmed, the likely player to take number one reps at running back in 2019, has some experience and has also looked very good in


to move to 6-1. A win over Stanford put the Cougars into the top 10. A struggle win over California was soon forgotten after Washington State blew out Colorado and Arizona, setting up a winner take all game against Washington for Pac 12 North supremacy. Unfortunately, Washington State fell to their rival. A win over Iowa State in the Alamo Bowl (Washington State still should have made a NY6 Bowl) put their record at 11-2, setting a record for most wins in a season by the Cougars.

Washington State’s air raid offense was just as dangerous as ever behind East Carolina transfer Gardner Minshew at quarterback. Minshew completed 70% of his passes, throwing 4,779 yards and 38 touchdowns. Minshew spread the ball around to many different receivers as WashingtonArafat learned his lesson well, and taught it to his successors. He learned it at the feet of the Russians, who also had a field day manipulating world opinion against America and her allies whenever the choice was between them and the Soviet Union.

And they have the advantage in the fact that the average person does not like to engage critical thinking. Skepticism is not incumbent on intelligence. Some of the smartest people I know are absolutely unable to see beyond the surface of a situation that does not fit their worldview.

The INSPIRE study: are different personality traits related to disease-specific quality of life (IBDQ) in distressed patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease?

BACKGROUND: To explore the relationship between personality and disease-specific quality of life [Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ)] in distressed [Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ)] patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS: Included in the study were 56 patients with UC and 54 patients with CD ranging in age from 18 to 60 years with a relapseson. He desired to himself retire from the active management of his farms, and to start the boys on their own careers; and the occasion was an appropriate one.
The real controversy is of double aspect: Did the father give these farms to his sons on New Year's Day, 1919, or is the story a fabricated one? If he did, was the parol gift effective?
Upon the first question, the evidence leaves no room for doubt. Agreeing fully that such evidence must be clear, satisfactory, and convincing, particularly between father and sons, there is still no reason or excuse for ignoring all the evidence in the case, much of which comes from disinterested persons. If the mass of evidence in this case is to be simply disregarded, courts of justice

Materials and Methods
=====================

Materials
---------

PEG silane ($2$-\[methoxy(polyethyleneoxy)$6$-$9$propyl\]trimethoxysilane), MW $459-591$ Da, was purchased from Gelest (Morrisville, PA). $\beta$-Mercaptoethanol, catalase from bovine liver, and glucose oxidase were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Anhydrous toluene was purchased from MilliporeSigma (Burlington, MA). BSA conjugated to Alexa Fluor $647$ and ethanol ($200$ proof $99.5$+%) was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). $18.2$ M$\Omega$ cm water from a Millipore water purification unit was used for making all aqueous solutions.

Preparation of PEG brush surfaces
----------------------------------

Surfaces functionalized with PEG brushes were constructed via a grafting-to approach [@ionov2009; @faulon2016]. Prior to functionalization, fused silica wafers were thoroughly washed with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water and dried with ultrapure N$_2$. Waferssite being empty at time $t$, $$\label{prob1}
P_{\rm off}(t)+P_{\rm on}(t)=1,$$ and for notation simplicity we have used $k={k_{\rm{ads}} }A_1$, where ${k_{\rm{ads}} }$ is the adsorption rate with units of ${\mu\rm{m}^{-2}}{\rm{s}^{-1}}$ and $A_1$ is the area of a single site. Because $\frac{dP_{\rm on}(t)}{dt}=-\frac{dP_{\rm off}(t)}{dt}$, we can rewrite [Eq. (\[reccurrence1\])]{} as $$\label{reccurrence2}
\frac{dP_{\rm off}(t)}{dt}=-k \left[ P_{\rm off}(t) - \int_0^t P_{\rm off}(t') \psi(t-t') dt' \right].$$ The second term on the right has the form of a convolution and can thus be solved using a Laplace transform, $$\label{LT}
s P_{\rm off}(s) - 1 = -k \left[ P_{\rm off}(s) - P_{\rm off}(s) \psi(s) \right],$$ where we have assumed the site is empty at $t=0$, i.e. $P_{\rm off}(t=0)=1$. We can obtain the Laplace transform of $\psi(t)$ by using the Tauberian theorem on the survival probability [@firststeps]. Namely, given


Rep. Sean Maloney (D-N.Y.) brought the fireworks late during U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland's public impeachment testimony Wednesday.

Maloney drew applause from the audience after he got Sondland to admit that hypothetically President Trump would be the one to benefit from an investigation into his domestic rivals, such as former Vice President Joe Biden.

"There we go, that wasn't so hard!" Maloney exclaims, prompting a smattering of applause from public present in the room. https://t.co/n5SOKrylbi — Olivia Gazis (@Olivia_Gazis) November 20, 2019

But things got more heated when Sondland expressed displeasure with Maloney's line of questioning, arguing that he had done his best to be forthright during the hearing. Maloney took that comment and ran with it. He grilled Sondland about how Wednesday's testimony was the ambassador's third

The invention relates to a measuring chamber for photo-acoustical sensors for the continuous measurement of radiation-absorbing substances, in particular of radiation-absorbing particles, in gaseous samples comprising at least one entry and at least one exit for the samples, a tube section with microphone that allows for the flow-through of the sample in longitudinal direction and with at least one entry and one exit point for the laser beam aligned with the tube section, and whereby said entry and exit points are arranged at a distance relative to the measuring tube respectively by way of at least one chamber with a cross-sectional area that is expanded relative to the tube section.
Photo-acoustics is a very sensitive measuring technique in order to determine, for example, trace gas or aerosol concentrations inwave and therefore generates a node of the pressure wave and (A pressure node corresponds to a maximum of the particle velocity). The length of the entire measuring cell amounts to approximately one wavelength lambda of the sound wave, with the following equation indicating the connection of the wavelength lambda relative to the resonance frequency:Lambda=sound velocity/resonance frequency.
A disadvantage of the shown measuring cell is its susceptibility to soiling of the windows through which the intermittent radiation L enters and exits. This is in particular a grave problem if the photo-acoustic cell is used for measuring aerosols, e.g. soot particles from combustion engines or in general substances from the environment. Flow calculations have shown that, for example, the gas entering on the left of the resonant cell forms vortexes

James: On the 25th of September, 2012, Dylan came off the bench in the 84th minute in a League Cup match versus Wigan.

Tracy: And the thing for Dylan was, you know it was a really big deal for him, you know. This was a dream come true for him.

Former users and nonusers could become current users of ADHD drugs during follow-up, and when this occurred, their user person-time was classified as described above.

Study End Points

The primary study end point was a serious cardiovascular event, which was defined as sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Sudden cardiac death was defined as a sudden, pulseless condition or collapse consistent with a ventricular tachyarrhythmia occurring in a community setting and including both fatal and resuscitated cardiac arrest (cases in which an arrest occurred in the community but the patient was successfully resuscitated).12-16 The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction required hospitalization


logistic regression.23 The baseline variables in the propensity score included sociodemographic characteristics as well as information on medical care encounters consistent with psychiatric disorders, asthma and other respiratory illnesses, seizure and other neurologic disorders, unintentional injuries, cardiovascular diseases, and other diseases. For each site, we tested the adequacy of the propensity-score models by calculating the propensity-score adjusted means of baseline variables for users and nonusers of ADHD drugs; these values were similar (Section 6 in the Supplementary Appendix).

In our primary analysis, we adjusted for study site, propensity-score decile, and several time-dependent covariates (medical and psychiatric conditions, health care utilization, age, and calendar year) (Section 7 in the Supplementary Appendix). In order to test key study assumptions, we performed additional analyses that were stratified according to age group (2recommended a black-box warning for stimulants, as well as a medication guide for patients.24 In a controversial policy statement, the American Heart Association stated that obtaining electrocardiograms in children who were initiating ADHD stimulant therapy was "reasonable,"25 a recommendation that was subsequently revised on the basis of input from several pediatric organizations.24 This led to concern and confusion among health care providers, patients, and families about the risks of these drugs.26 In this context, we studied the cardiovascular safety of ADHD drugs in more than 1.2 million children and young adults from four geographically diverse health plans with more than 2.5 million person-years of follow-up. The point estimate of the relative risk provided no evidence that the use of ADHD drugs increased the risk of serious cardiovascular events,


in the cohort.10 Another analysis included patients who had been excluded from the primary analysis because of preexisting severe cardiac disease for which sudden cardiac death would not be unexpected. We also performed analyses stratified according to age. The findings from these additional analyses were essentially identical to our primary analysis.

Our findings that the use of ADHD drugs was not associated with an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events in children and young adults are consistent with the results of several reports33-36 that have appeared since the FDA safety review of adverse-event data for ADHD drugs,6,7 although our results differed from the findings of another report.37 Our study included nearly twice the person-time of the combined person-time in four recent cohort studies and included several provisions to ensureHarvard Pilgrim Health Care, Harvard Medical School, and the Department of Pediatrics, Boston University School of Medicine — all in Boston (C.M.

he’s going to live for like forever Caitlin is going to get old and die. Also everyone she gets close to tend to die (at least both her parents have). Besides even though Adrian is clearly way into her, he spends most of their time together being all emo teenage vampire pretending not to like her. It makes sense in context and brooding mean vampires are pretty awesome so I’m cool with it.

Caitlin is also grieving for her mom who just passed away (cancer) and to some extent also her father who died when she was a kid from a brain aneurysm and trying to in generally make a new life for herself in the town she’s landed in. She’s also trying to figure out her future, whichhave this sort of deeper Hunger thing, with blood and sex and lust being a little mixed up. There is some occasions when Adrian tells her to chill but I never felt like he was ever at risk of losing control and biting her. And when he does drink her blood it’s too survive. Not sexy. I’d have liked just one make out session that ended because he tried to take a bite out of her for reals, or one when she actually asked him to bite her.

The ending of the book to me felt a little rushed, like a bit of a “oh shit, I need to wrap this up” and a bit too obvious. Did like that vampires can feed on all emotions and demons can’t

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

Pneumonia and malaria are the leading causes of global mortality in children under 5 years.[^1^](#ppul24691-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"} In 2017, pneumonia and malaria accounted for almost one‐third of deaths in children under 5 years (excluding the neonatal period).[^1^](#ppul24691-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"} The majority of pneumonia and malaria cases and deaths occur in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with particularly high burden in sub‐Saharan Africa.[^1^](#ppul24691-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"}, [^2^](#ppul24691-bib-0002){ref-type="ref"} In 2017, the WHO Africa region recorded 426 000 pneumonia deaths and 257 000 malaria deaths among children under 5 years of age.[^1^](#ppul24691-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"} This accounted for 53% of global pneumonia deaths, and 98% of global malaria deaths, for children understate;seizures.

Severe malaria

Fever (or history of fever) AND positive malaria test (blood film or rapid diagnostic test) AND at least one of the following:

severe anemia;decreased conscious state;seizures.

Both the admission diagnosis and the clinical case definition classifications were derived from the admitting doctor and nurse\'s documentation at the time of admission. If a clinical sign was not recorded, we assumed that it was not present.

By focusing on admission diagnoses and clinical case definitions, we were able to explore real‐life diagnostic and management practices in the critical first hours of a severely ill child presenting to hospital. We categorized those meeting WHO criteria for severe pneumonia as "detected" or "potential missed" depending on whether they had a corresponding admission diagnosis of pneumonia. We categorized those meeting WHO criteria for malaria similarly.

consort with those you may never meet on this plane, but you have great times and great ways of knowing one another in the higher realms. The agreement to incarnate, in many ways, is simply the agreement to come into your knowing as the one in truth, as the one who is worthy of the Kingdom.

The last thing we will say to you now is that you must not fear who you are. Whatever you have done, or thought you have done, whatever you have claimed in fear cannot be lifted as you are attached to it. We are going to give you a situation now to understand: When you have someone who believes himself to be dirty, he will always be running to be cleansed. Until youthe self that have been hidden. There are things that lie in caves, there are wonderful creatures that may be met by you that you will have known from other lives, there are people that you may see today who you may have incarnated with who have a justified anger at you that you must attend to on this cliff or another, but you will not be forgotten. You are always remembered and you are always shepherded as you say, "Yes, I may."

Paul is asking, "But what is the first stage? Five stages . . ."

You are claiming it now. The song you are singing is a resounding echo of the claim of truth that carries you forward. You have been instructed not to lie to the self


of re-creation.

We wish to attend to Paul for a moment, who has been asking for days, "Why do I feel so odd?"

Why you feel so odd is that the leaving of the old self, in many ways, feels like a passing, and a passing of the old self may call with it the emotions that are attended to with any passing. In fact, what you are doing, at a frequency level, is choosing to become your True Self.

We warned you at the top of the text this would not be comfortable to the ego, or the personality, and it has not been. And if you look at what you have had to encounter since the dictation began, you will understand more clearly that these things were called toan opportunity and responsibility previously unrecognized: serving as a bridge between people who have the ear of legislators and regulators and people living unseen in a poorly funded, poorly regulated, poorly managed system of care.

Until you invest in discovery, you will not uncover new insights hiding within the work that you already know so well. So take the time and spend the money. Discovery will enhance your clarity, improve your planning and increase your impact.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Five-time world boxing champion Johnny Tapia has died, according to a source close to the family.

Albuquerque police were called to Tapia’s house at about 7:45 p.m. by a family member who found a body there, said Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Robert Gibbs, but police couldn’t say with absolute certainty Sunday night that it was Tapia’s body.

The death did not appear suspicious, Gibbs said. An official cause of death will be determined by the Office of the Medical Investigator following an autopsy.

About the Author

## Chapter 1: Overview

The house at 1213 West 11th Avenue in Corsicana, Texas burned on December 23, 1991.

The house was then occupied by Cameron Todd Willingham, his two-year-old daughter Amber, and his one-year-old twin daughters Kameron and Karmon. Stacy Willingham, his wife and mother of the children, was not home at the time of the fire.

Amber, Kameron and Karmon died in the fire. Cameron Todd Willingham escaped with some loss of head hair and singeing of the hair that remained; singed eyebrows, eyelashes, and chest hair; singed nasal hairs and soot in his throat; first


three girls, changed their diapers, dressed them, gave them each a bottle, and allowed them to play while she got ready for work. She remembers specifically that she left for work, at the Salvation Army, around 9:20 AM.

Below are discontinuous segments from her interview. Before presenting them, I want to clarify some editorial changes I have introduced.

The person who transcribed the interview apparently attempted to replicate Stacy's speech mannerisms by recording words such as hollering and crying as hollerin' and cryin'. I have returned the trailing 'g' to its proper place.

Similarly, the person who transcribed the interview usually recorded Stacy as saying 'cause rather than because, and 'em rather than them. I have replaced words having leading apostrophes with their more proper counterpart.

As will many people in aher room. When I went to bed, I knew she was in her room, so that was the first place I thought of trying to get to.

### Examining the Hallway

_Willingham:_ It was the first time in my life that I had ever been in a place that was so dark and so smoky that you had to feel your way around. You couldn't see anything. The only place you could tell, the only place you could distinctively tell in the house was the kitchen... because that was the only place that wasn't full of smoke.

_Willingham:_ I noticed that I could still see formations and stuff in the kitchen, but as toward the front of the house, you couldn't see nothing but black.

_Willingham:_ There wasn't as much smoke in


then, so I got off the porch.

Willingham: Well I went right to the door again... but it was too hot.... I didn't see any actual flames that I could remember. I noticed there was a lot of smoke.... I broke the windows out. That's when I seen flames come through the windows.

### The Electrical System

_Willingham:_ We had squirrels in the attic too. One night we was getting a suitcase out of the attic, or something, just a cardboard box to put things in. Well I, stupid, I left the attic door off and two squirrels they got [out of] the attic and got down inside the house that night. Well, we always kept the back of the house shut off, and Stacy woke me about 8:00 that morninggas outlet along the east wall was found to be in the "off" position. We eliminated that space heater. We started looking for electrical shorts from wiring which was visible in the bedroom. We found no electrical shorts in the bedroom.... There was a light switch by the front door facing. The wires were intact. No evidence of electrical short.... We even had the gas company come out and do a leak test and bar test where they punch holes, checking for gas leaks, which they found none. The electrical, you look at the electrical wiring for evidence of shorts from the outlets, from fixtures, so forth. There again, those were eliminated.

Fogg mentioned the gas company performed a leak test and a bar test. A bar hole is


fire scene and note various burn patterns of varying degree which appeared to be shaped like irregular pours of liquid. It was fairly common practice for the investigator to cite these patterns as proof of the use of an accelerant. With the advent of NFPA 921, it became more and more widely realized that post-flashover burning in a room or hallway produces floor burn patterns which cannot be differentiated from burns imagined to be caused by liquid accelerants. Full scale testing... showed that post-flashover burning, even of relatively short duration, makes it impossible to identify accelerant burns visually. Thus it becomes impossible to visually identify accelerant patterns under these conditions. The subject fire included post-flashover burning of considerable duration as evidenced by the hallmark of flashover, flames pouringyoung age" could lift it and open it.

Lighter fluid seems to be typically sold in either small metal cans (with a pointed squirt top) or plastic quart bottles (with a flip top). In fact, a small can of lighter fluid was found on Willingham's porch. For some reason, the can was not reported, not tested, and not introduced into evidence. I present a picture of the lighter fluid can seemingly ignored by all parties.

There was nothing unusual about finding a charcoal lighter fluid containers on Willingham's porch. Fogg and Vasquez both acknowledged that the press photographers, as they captured images of the firefighters at work, also captured an image of a barbecue grill on the left side of Willingham's porch. The damaged white container was found in that


or something like that, you better be out here when you throw that match, because it's going to, everybody is going to hear it because you are going to hear a big noise.

_Martin_ : And if you douse a room with gasoline and you're in there and light a match, you set yourself on fire usually; don't you?

_Vasquez_ : There have been cases where people died in a fire; yes, sir.

_Martin_ : A person in a small closed room who douses the floor with gasoline and lets it soak, as you mentioned yesterday, and is in there and lights a match; what will happen in the room?

_Vasquez_ : He will also receive burns.

_Martin_ : All right. Because the fumes will catch on fire; won't they?

_Vasquez_ : The fumesteeth's length in check otherwise their teeth would grow too long -- rendering them unable to eat and thus starve to death.

_Excerpt_ : According to the US Fire Administration there are usually about 120,000 residential fires of "unknown cause" each year in the US. Since 25% of house fires of "unknown cause" are attributed to squirrels and other rodents chewing on wiring, that's possibly up to 30,000 house fires each year in the U.S. as a result of inadequate squirrel control, mice control, or rat control."

_Excerpt_ : Squirrel removal research has estimated that more than 40,000 incidents of house fires annually are caused by faulty electrical wiring. As such, it is the leading cause of fire-related casualties, claiming about 500 lives with property losses estimated at over $500


the things that is significant here is, again, there is a wire coming down from the ceiling all the way down to the electrical outlet. When I examined the wire, it's burned -- the insulation is burned off. The wire from the top going down on Exhibit 32. And, of course, I couldn't take a whole picture of the wall because I'm too close. I took two pictures. And this is the bottom of the wall there, and you can see the wire. And as you get close to the electrical outlet, the wire is intact. The insulation is still on it. So this indicates that the fire went up and reached the attic and then mushroomed and went in that direction then down. That's why the wireturned off? Why would he not testify: "If it was an accidental fire, the space heater could not have caused the fire. It was turned off."

Instead, Manuel Vasquez volunteered:

_Vasquez_ : [Y]ou know, if it was an accidental fire, the space heater caused the fire.

### Zamora

Manuel Vasquez met with Dr. Juan Luis Zamora at least once, perhaps twice. Vasquez advised Zamora that the deaths resulted from homicide, and Dr. Zamora so indicated on the autopsy report. He then said something subtle and interesting during his testimony.

_Zamora:_ No, sir. As I said before, the examination of the bodies do not give much clues of whether the fire was a criminal act or it was an act as a result of any play or anything.

What might prompt Zamora to offer "play"


of hers.

It wasn't heroism that caused Amber to take her Daddy's place. A two-year-old cannot be heroic. She can only be afraid of fire and smoke and dark. She can only be expected to seek the safety of Mommy or Daddy. Amber did everything a two-year-old could and should do. She screamed, she climbed the gate, and she ran for help. In doing so, she bought a reprieve for her father.

The fire, however, would not be denied. Disguised first as justice and then as a needle, it would eventually consume her father just as surely as it had consumed her sisters, just as surely as it consumed her.

In my previous work on the Willingham case, _The Skeptical Juror and The Trial of Cameron Todd Willingham_ , IObviously he’s a Marxist.

Speaking on CNBC this morning, the real estate magnate said taking punitive measures against companies reaping big profits in a capitalist society is against his nature, but the energy situation is unique.

“I consider myself to be a great capitalist, but I think the oil companies have been ripping off this country and the world for a long time,” Trump said. “I can see doing something against the oil companies. They’re making numbers–nobody’s ever seen numbers like this. They and OPEC and lots of people together are having a lot of fun.”


In case you still don’t believe all those rumored specifications of GTX 980 Ti, I have something that should convince you once and for all.

According to the datasheet, ASUS GTX 980 Ti (GTX980TI-6GD5) will sport 2816 CUDA cores, just like we were saying for few days.

The file also confirms that base clock is 1000 MHz and boost clock is 1076 MHz. Card also features 6GB GDDR5 memory across 384-bit interface.

ASUS explains all the graphics features of the new GPU and how awesome GPU Tweak is (actually I think it’s underrated).

While the packaging clearly states DirectX 12 support, the datasheet is not telling us a thing.

It does seem that my quest for TDP information shall not end yet. Also i was wondering how many cards of these cards canthe handle. A slug which is press-fitted in the handle provides lateral stability between the pocket and the handle. The front wall of the pocket prevents limb movement in the axial direction and the top surface of the pocket limits upward movement.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,244,259 describes a bow limb mounting system for adjustably mounting a limb inner end of a bow limb to a riser mounting surface of a bow riser of an archery bow. The limb inner end pivots relative to the bow riser about a limb pivot axis. The pivot movement is produced by an adjustable strut assembly which varies an attachment angle between the limb inner end and the riser mounting surface, while restraining lateral movement between the two. The adjustable strut assembly has upper

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

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains the most life-threatening cause of severe respiratory failure in the term infant \[[@CR1]\]. Its incidence is 1 in 2,500 births and accounts for about 8% of major congenital anomalies \[[@CR2]\]. Approximately 80% are left-sided defects and the majority occurs as an isolated anomaly. CDH may, however, also be associated with a chromosomal abnormality including trisomy 13 and 18, Pallister--Killian syndrome and Fryns syndrome among others. Other associated malformations include congenital heart disease, spina bifida, hydrocephaly and urological anomalies \[[@CR3]\]. Mortality in such cases may be as high as 90%, many fetuses succumbing in the antenatal period. Mortality in isolated CDH has been reported to range from 20 to 60% mainly because of the differences in case selection \[[@CR4], [@CR5]\]. Recent studies haveemphasized the "hidden mortality" in CDH, showing survival of approximately 40% if all cases of CDH are included from the time of antenatal diagnosis \[[@CR1], [@CR5]\].

Despite remarkable progress in resuscitation and intensive care, the morbidity and mortality rates in CDH remain high due to severe pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension resulting from the abnormal development of the pulmonary vascular bed. Postnatal therapies such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, inhaled nitric oxide, surfactant and high-frequency ventilation have had limited impact on prognosis and survivors of CDH commonly face considerable morbidity \[[@CR6], [@CR7]\]. Prenatal treatments have also been tried in CDH: open fetal diaphragmatic repair has not showed survival benefit \[[@CR8]\] and a randomized controlled trial on fetoscopic tracheal occlusion has not shown to be beneficial \[[@CR9]\]. Recently, a randomized


embryo as a ventral diverticulum that arises from the foregut. This endodermal bud grows caudally to form the trachea and then divides to form the two primary lung buds. By continuing dichotomous divisions, the two lung buds continue to form the bronchopulmonary segments of the mature lung. The structure of these buds consists of a columnar endoderm surrounded by splachnic mesoderm. By the sixth week of gestation, the pulmonary blood supply has connected to the developing heart \[[@CR17]\]. Under conditions of acute maternal retinol deficiency, embryos display agenesis of the lung buds \[[@CR18]\]. Retinoic acid biosynthesis and expression of RALDH2 are detected throughout the layers where the trachea and primitive lungs are forming \[[@CR19]\]. CRBPs and retinoid receptors (RARβ, RXRα and β) are expressed in the early phasesbranching morphogenesis and act as a differentiating agent for proximal buds \[[@CR18]\].

The canalicular phase of lung development takes place from the 16th to 26th week of gestation. This phase is characterized by the appearance of acini, consisting of an airway stem and a spray of short tubules arranged in a cluster surrounded by a covering of loose and thin mesenchyme. The mesenchyme becomes riddled with capillaries and is said to be "canalized". The epithelial cells lining the tubules in the distal regions of the lung begin to flatten out and differentiate into type I and type II pneumocytes. At the end of this phase, gas exchange in the 26--28th week human can be supported. During this period, RARβ, RXRα and RXRβ are associated with epithelial cell differentiation and


fibroblasts are present in the alveolar wall. In one population there are abundant lipid droplets, the lipid interstitial fibroblasts, which synthesize and secrete retinoic acid \[[@CR28]\]. The other population is the non-lipid interstitial fibroblasts. Together these cells are the major contributors to the synthesis of the extracellular matrix, which provides tensile strength and elasticity to the gas-exchanging surface \[[@CR29]\]. Ultrastructural analysis has demonstrated that the lipid interstitial fibroblasts are in close contact with type II cells and that type II cells may be involved in the eruption of secondary septa \[[@CR30]\]. Strong evidence for a role of retinoids in alveologenesis comes from a study from Massaro and Massaro \[[@CR31]\]. These authors demonstrated a 50% increase in alveolar number along with a reduction in their size if retinoic acidis only one clinical study linking retinoids to CDH \[[@CR44]\]. Retinol and RBP were measured in 11 healthy newborns and in 11 CDH affected newborns. Both markers were decreased by 50% in cord blood of newborns with CDH when compared to newborns without CDH. Conversely, both retinol and RBP were significantly increased in the mothers of affected infants suggesting a possible deterioration of retinol transport across the placenta \[[@CR44]\]. There is an ongoing multicenter international study aiming at measuring the retinoids state in mothers and newborn with CDH in a large cohort of patients (communication at the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Work Study Group meeting, Houston, October 2007).

The largest evidence for the role of retinoids in CDH comes from the nitrofen model of CDH. The pathogenic mechanism of nitrofen,


two members of the Martino family who happily jumped into bed with Rudy’s crew, are making money hand over fist (or “fist over fist”) in their minor roles. Bobby opened a nicer VIP room that essentially operates as a mob hangout, and he plans to go in with Rudy on a new location. Frankie, profiting off his and Mike’s booth invention, is along for the ride.

Vincent, on the other hand, couldn’t be less enthused about his family’s further involvement in mob business. James Franco might be coasting a bit when he dons the Frankie cap, but his performance as Vincent is some of the very best work of his career, and he’s the true standout in “My Name Is Ruby.” A bar man through and through, Vincent justsaw the writing on the wall a long time ago, the moment that peep shows were first introduced.

A variety of methods are known for detecting behavior-based associations (associations based on user behaviors) between items stored or represented in a database. For example, the purchase histories or item viewing histories of users can be analyzed to detect behavior-based associations between particular items represented in an electronic catalog (e.g., items A and B are related because a relatively large number of those who purchased A also purchased B). As another example, the web browsing histories of users can be analyzed to identify behavior-based associations between particular web sites and/or web pages.
The detected behavior-based associations are typically used to assist users in locating items of interest. For example, in the context of an electronic catalog, when a user accesses a network resource, such as a web page, thatFractional polynomial adjustment for time-varying covariates in a self-controlled case series analysis.
The self-controlled case series method is a statistical approach to investigating associations between acute outcomes and transient exposures. The method uses cases only and compares time at risk after the transient exposure with time at risk outside the exposure period within an individual, using conditional Poisson regression. The risk of outcome and exposure often varies over time, for example, with age, and it is important to allow for such time dependence within the analysis. The standard approach for modelling time-varying covariates is to split observation periods into blocks according to categories of the covariate and then to model the relationship using indicators for each category. However, this can be inefficient and can lead to problems with collinearity


Watch Dogs city life provides players with plenty of optional distractions from the main storyline. During a demo at San Diego Comic Con, we explored the poor district of Chicago and many of these diversions.

When hacker Aiden Pierce steals from the wrong man, the criminal underworld comes after his own family. In revenge, Aiden becomes a modern day, tech savvy vigilante. As master hacker, Aiden can wreak havoc with only a cell phone, which he uses to crack open anything with a circuit board. Aiden’s hacking activities are made easier because Chicago has installed a citywide operating system (CtOS), which controls the metropolis’ entire information network, including civilians’ personal data.

CtOS is controlled by private companies that use the software for their own gains, but Aiden can manipulate thethough her face remained emotionless, her wings fidgeted happily at the sight of her old friend.

"You sure did some good work here." Crowley glanced at the wreckage of the mine and winced. "Yikes, that's even worse than at first glance. "Did you get everyone out?"

"All I could find," said Winona solemnly. "Had the mine been at full capacity during the explosion, things would be been much worse. But as for you, Crowley - why are you here? I know you don't show up anywhere without asking for something."

"Y-yeah," Qrow muttered, drumming his fingers on the table in front of him. Sitting beside him, Professor Ozpin simply smiled at his colleague and sipped his usual cup of coffee. "You always did know how to make your guests feel welcome. Of your many talents, that might just be your best."

Qrow supposed he had to agree. Haven Academy was indeed a hospitable place.

It is a part of myself - and as such, that is the form my Semblance has chosen to take. No matter where I am, that territory, and all things in it, are my eyes, my ears, and my weapons. Sadly, its reach ends at the forest's border, though I can still perceive some things if they are close enough.."

That's a pretty specific Semblance, Qrow thought. Still, at this point he was willing to take whatever he

"But now, more than ever, we need warriors who are like them," Ozpin added. "Now, and in the future. I had hoped that Team STRQ would be those warriors, and so far I have not been disappointed. But the day is coming when they will truly have to prove themselves."

No pressure, Qrow thought sarcastically. Just the fate of the entire world at stake here.

How do I convert DAML tuples received via the DA Ledger API into Java pairs?

I have written a DAML model that generates a list of tuples, e.g. [(Int, Text)]. I receive this data via the DA Ledger API - how do I convert it to List<Pair<Long, String>> in Java?

A:

The Java depends on whether you are working with the raw compiled Protobuf types, or the wrapped types provided by the Java Language Bindings.
Objects returned by the API are represented using three major types:

Record
RecordField
Value.

Simplifying somewhat,  aRecord is a list of RecordField, a RecordField is a label and a Value and a Value can be one of many things, including an Int64, a String, a Record, or a List. Tuples like (Int, Text) have special notation in DAML, but


stress is applied to cotton garments during garment manufacturing and in repeated wearing, washing, and tumble drying, and thereby damages the surface. A close look reveals the presence of fibrils ranging in size from a few microns to a few millimeters. The damaged surface scatters light, giving a dull, grayish appearance with decreased color brightness and contrast between different colors. Dust particles also tend to adhere to the damaged areas, adding to the gray appearance. The damaged fibers also make the surface more rigid, thereby decreasing hand, or softness.
Cellulase enzymes hydrolyze exposed beta-1,4 bonds in cellulose. This leads to removal of the fibrils, which are the most exposed part of the fabric. The removal of fibrils is believed to directly improve the softness of the garments and alsoColoring Books and Kids

I totally love her suggestions for coloring book alternatives. I am all for kids using their creativity and imagination to create their own art works. I will admit that I've never bought a coloring book for my kids, either. I think that there is definitely a place for coloring books, though, and I haven't gotten rid the coloring books that have been given to me.

Given the wide availability of adult coloring books, it seems that the general public has become at least somewhat aware of the benefits of coloring: stress relief, relaxation, mindfulness, and the pleasure of making something. Yes, creating from scratch can provide all of those benefits and even many more. However, free artistic expression also comes with potential negatives.

Comparison of employability outcomes among patients with early or long-standing rheumatoid arthritis.
To compare employability between patients with early and long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and examine the relationships between improvement in employability and disease stage after adjustment for demographic characteristics, disease activity, physical functioning, and response to therapy. We evaluated the employability data from 2 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies of infliximab plus methotrexate (MTX) in patients with RA. Patients were incomplete responders to MTX in 1 study and had never taken MTX in the other study. Patients age <65 years were categorized as having early RA (< or =3 years disease duration) or long-standing RA (>3 years disease duration). Physical functioning was assessed using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and clinical response was determined based on the American Collegefrontier. We shall proceed to discuss the points in this order and illustrate the modifications in corresponding figures. We shall discuss the results in general terms as well as their implications for experiment.

Bunimovich mushrooms
====================

A mushroom billiard is a classical planar billiard with remarkable dynamics. It is a Hamiltonian system in which the phase space trivially decomposes into an integrable and a chaotic part whose frontier is not a fractal. This billiard in it’s simplest version is defined as follows: Consider a boundary defined by semi-circle and the diameter that closes this semicircle. Consider furthermore an opening in this diameter to which the open side of some rectangle or triangle is attached, to form three or two more sides closing the boundary of the billiard. If this rectangle or


triangle does not touch the circular part of the boundary, we shall call the resulting billiard a perfect mushroom (see fig. \[muchoshongos\]). The area limited by the circle and the two radial walls will be called the hat of the mushroom and the rest the foot. It is not important that the hat is truly a semi-circle, but it must be a sector of a circle, meaning that its straight walls must point exactly towards the center of the circle. The exact shapes of the foot is irrelevant, as long as it is starshaped, limited by straight lines and not penetrating into the hat. Other options use eliptic hats, but we shall not consider these in the presnet paper. The foot assures the effective free expansion of bundlesthe ideal value of $\pi/2$. The tilting of the underside of the hat will be shown on the right hand and measured in terms of the angle $\epsilon$. The other side of the picture refers to a perturbation discussed below.

The angle to the circular border is no longer $\pi/2$. and this leads to two different scenarios:

1\) If this angle is smaller than $\pi/2$ i.e. $\epsilon < 0 $ we find a transition to a mixed phase space with the usual charcateristics of a twist map. We studied this case numerically and it displays the generic scenario see figure \[opotilt\]. These billiards can be considered as closely related to D billiards, i.e. cicle sections, where we have an abrupt transition from generic twist map behaviour to total chaos passing


in the present study. Infants were from singleton, full-term (38 weeks minimum gestation) births. Infants experiencing complications during birth, or with any known visual, orthopedic or neurologic impairment or a score at or below the 5^th^ percentile for their age on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (3^rd^ edition) \[[@pone.0190276.ref007]\] at the time of testing were excluded. Longitudinal EEG recording sessions were recorded in monthly increments, with 3--5 sessions acquired for 19 participants and 1 session for 2 participants. That resulted in 71 sessions in total.

During each experimental session, EEG data were noninvasively acquired using a Biosemi system with 32-electrode EEG caps (electrode locations are presented in [Fig 1](#pone.0190276.g001){ref-type="fig"}) at sampling rate of 512 Hz. Different sizes of EEG caps were utilized to accommodate infants of different headThis resulted in a frequency resolution of 0.5 Hz to capture changes in spectral activities in infant EEG. The "pwelch" function in MATLAB (ver. 2016A, MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, USA) was implemented for the PSD estimation.

Due to variation across sessions and ages, PSDs were transformed into relative powers so that spectral activities from all individual sessions were set to an equal footing for comparison. The relative powers were calculated between 0 and 30 Hz. For each frequency bin within this range and each electrode, relative power was computed by dividing PSD by the sum PSD from all bins. Such transformation adjusted the original PSDs into the energy ratios within sub 30 Hz frequency range, and fair cross-session comparison could be achieved. Alpha band powers were then computed for

into the prediction model. This was a preliminary study with a small number of infants tested longitudinally at varying ages and reaching skill levels; we will use these results to design an adequately-powered study to develop norms and to investigate the relationships of interest identified here.

Some developmentalists believe that perceptual-motor connections are present at birth and their function is shaped by experience \[[@pone.0190276.ref014]--[@pone.0190276.ref016]\], while others suggest that both the connections and function are formed and shaped through critical sensorimotor experience \[[@pone.0190276.ref017],[@pone.0190276.ref018]\]. Either way, the role of sensorimotor experience and learning are of crucial importance to the functional development of the infant. Being able to identify deviation from healthy brain function early in life would allow for early, targeted intervention to support optimal developmental outcomes.

E.A.W.S.  David did not return to Texas
and was not around Robin or E.A.W.S. after E.A.W.S.=s birth.

CPS worker Stewart testified that she gathered
information on how to contact David after E.A.W.S. was born.  She made contact with him by telephone on
January 21, 2005 to discuss E.A.W.S.=s
removal from Robin.  She testified that
at that time, he indicated to her that he was going to speak with his parole
officer and see if he could come to the hearing to ask the judge to release the
baby to him.[14]  David asked that E.A.W.S. be placed with him
because he did not believe that E.A.W.S. was safe with Robin and he did not
want E.A.W.S. in foster care.  Stewart
testified that

PARENTAL RIGHTS,@ the affidavit also indicated
that David had spoken to E.A.W.S.=s child
advocate concerning E.A.W.S.=s best
interests, that he had been asked by the advocate to Awillingly
relinquish@ his parental rights to E.A.W.S.,
and that he would transfer those rights only on the condition that his sister
Victoria and her husband be named the adoptive parents.  Specifically, in the second paragraph of
section II, he states: ABE IT KNOWN TO ALL PARTIES
CONCERNED IN THE MATTER OF [E.A.W.S.], Cause No. 323-79632J-05, I, David

parental rights with the sole exception that the adoptive parents are named Roy
and Victoria.@[32]  It concluded with the following statement:
In closing, I willingly ATRANSFER@ my parental rights in
this matter with the stipulation thatthe Texas Family Code, the
petitioner must establish one or more of the acts or omissions enumerated under
subdivision (1) of the statute and must also prove that termination is in the
best interest of the child.  Tex. Fam. Code Ann. '
