Most radar systems in use today are monostatic radar systems, i.e., they are comprised of a single site to perform both a transmitting and a receiving function. Although monostatic radar systems are the most prevalent ones used, they suffer from a drawback in that unable to obtain information which will enable them to determine many important features of targets.
It is well known in the art that a bistatic radar system can overcome the above-defined drawback. However, despite this, bistatic radar has not received wide acceptance in comparison with monostatic radar for the following reasons. First, at least two sites are required for a bistatic system. This is considered to be a drawback for a bistatic system since the cost of additional sites, i.e., the cost of additional personnel,     )

The SUM function seems useless, as you have only distinct cells, not ranges. Also, a lot of the parenthesis can be removed. Thus, the function becomes this:

    )

Writing that as an one liner:

To make it PHP, substitute the cell addresses with variables:
0.0017 + (($members / $date + $topics / $date + $posts / $date) * 0.419 + (($members / $topics + $members / $posts) / 2 + ($topics / $members + $posts / $members) / 3 - 3.4777) / 7)

\label{eqn:ens_rand}$$ for $n=1,\ldots, N_l-1$. Once the numerical solutions at all the $L$ levels are found, the EMLMC approximates the SPDEs solution at the time instance $t_n$, $\mathbb{E}[u(t_n)]$, by . Meanwhile, given a quantity of interest $Q(u)$, one can analyze the outputs from the ensemble simulations, $Q(u_h(\omega_1, \cdot, \cdot))$, $\ldots,  Q(u_h(\omega_J, \cdot, \cdot))$, for extracting the underlying stochastic information of the system.

It is seen that the EMLMC naturally combines the ensemble-based sampling method and the ensemble-based time stepping algorithms, and inherits advantages from both sides. As the MLMC, the method can reduce the computational cost by


balancing the time step size, mesh size, and the number of samples at each level. Since the coefficient matrix of the discrete linear system is independent of $j$, for evaluating $J_l$ realizations, one only needs to solve one linear system with multiple right-hand sides. This leads to great computational savings: when the number of degrees of freedom is small, one can perform the LU factorization once instead of $J_l$ times; when the number of degrees of freedom is large, one can use the block iterative algorithms to find the ensemble solution more efficiently than solving a sequence of simulations. Next, we will analyze the stability and asymptotic error estimate of the EMLMC method.

Stability and error estimate {#sec:analysis}
============================

To simplify the presentation, we only consider equation with the homogeneous boundary$\Psi_h^E$ and $\Psi_h^I$, $|\Psi_h^E-\Psi_h^I|$, is shown in Figure \[fig:comp\] (right). It is observed that the difference is on the order of $10^{-4}$, which indicates the EMC method is able to provide the same accurate approximation as individual simulations. However, the CPU time for the ensemble simulation is $2.65\times 10^3$ seconds, while that of the individual simulations is $1.01\times 10^4$ seconds.

Conclusions {#sec:con}
===========

A multilevel Monte Carlo ensemble method is developed in this paper to solve second-order random parabolic partial differential equations. This method naturally combines the ensemble-based, multilevel Monte Carlo sampling approach with a second-order, ensemble-based time stepping scheme so that the computational efficiency for seeking stochastic solutions is improved. Numerical analysis shows the numerical approximation achieve the optimal order of convergence. As a next step, we will extend the

In a cross-sectional study \[[@B46-nutrients-11-01016]\], SHPT was found in about 34% of subjects whose serum 25(OH)D level was below 12 ng/mL, and the authors underlined that, even at that level, there was no evidence of SHPT in the majority of individuals. No biochemical evidence was thus found in support of designating an insufficiency state for a serum 25(OH)D concentration between 12 and 30 ng/mL.

Many conflicting results may be due to differing availabilities of assays and methods used for assessing the levels of both the serum 25(OH)D and PTH, as well as to the likely varied daily calcium intake existing among the various populations considered in the studies.

Several randomized clinical trials (RCT) would seem


to define 20 ng/mL as the cut-off 25(OH)D level below which serum PTH starts to increase in vitamin D deficient subjects \[[@B47-nutrients-11-01016],[@B48-nutrients-11-01016],[@B49-nutrients-11-01016]\]. Finally, a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 RCTs has clearly shown that 1000 IU vitamin D daily supplementation can suppress serum PTH levels even in overweight/obese adults \[[@B50-nutrients-11-01016]\]. In our opinion, future research is needed to determine the exact threshold below which higher serum levels of PTH could determine clinically meaningful outcomes in several diseases.

3.3. Bone, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis, and Fractures {#sec3dot3-nutrients-11-01016}
----------------------------------------------------

The diagnosis of osteomalacia can be confirmed by an iliac crest bone biopsy, although this is rarely performed because of its cost, patient discomfort, and limited availability of the procedure. Priemel et al. \[[@B51-nutrients-11-01016]\] examined 675 iliac crest cadaveric biopsies to evaluate structural histomorphometric parametersis a reduced fracture risk, but the correlation between hypovitaminosis D, osteoporosis, and fractures and treatment with vitamin D is quite poor.

Regarding BMD, a clinical study showed that a significant reduction in bone resorption occurred in men and women receiving daily supplements of 400--1000 IU vitamin D \[[@B3-nutrients-11-01016]\]. A randomized, double-blind, and controlled clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of vitamin D in postmenopausal women with basal 25(OH)D levels ranging from 14 to 27 ng/mL \[[@B52-nutrients-11-01016]\]. It showed a trivial effect on calcium absorption and no clinical benefit on BMD, muscle function, and falls. The authors thus supported the IOM position that vitamin D deposits are replete in subjects whose serum 25(OH)D level is higher than 20 ng/mL.

In contrast to the previous reports about the efficacy

The intestinal absorption of calcifediol has been demonstrated to have an efficacy higher than that of cholecalciferol. Calcifediol is absorbed through the portal vein circulation, whereas more complex cholecalciferol uptake occurs through the lymphatic pathway. Such differences in transportation may partially contribute to the greater overall bioavailability of calcifediol \[[@B59-nutrients-11-01016]\].

When baseline 25(OH)D levels are very low, there is an estimated average increase of 0.7--1 ng/mL for every 100 IU of daily ingested vitamin D. Subsequently, the increase slows as 25(OH)D levels rise, indicating that cholecalciferol absorption is not linear \[[@B60-nutrients-11-01016]\]. Conversely, a multicentric interventional study in postmenopausal women suggested that, as opposed to cholecalciferol, calcifediol is characterized by linear absorption when administered in either a daily or weekly regimen. Over a threenational register of the Italian Ministry of Health, was selected to complete a voluntary survey. Subjects recruited in this study were asked to complete 3 different sections (personal and professional information, training and updating needs, professional activity and practice characteristics) of a questionnaire for a total of 35 questions. Most of participants were specialized in occupational medicine, worked for a large number of companies and carried out health surveillance on a total number of workers that exceeds 1500. Occupational physicians would like to have a higher training offer towards practical aspects of health surveillance, risks assessment, manual handling of loads, chemical substances and upper limb biomechanical overload.

large $n$ we have $nP \approx T$, so we can use the optimisation problem for $P$ to get an approximate value for $T$. Note that our approach to approximating the MLE is different from that of [@wang2019consistent], as there the MLE is approximated based on a noninjective transformation of the obfuscated tallies $S$, rather than on $S$ itself. This transformation is protocol-specific, and hence this method does not easily extend to general protocols. The advantage of (\[eq:maximise\]) is that it can be used to improve the estimation of any protocol.

MLE experiments
---------------

We perform synthetic experiments to see how the MLE of (\[eq:maximise\]) performs in practice. We apply the MLE to two well-established privacy protocols, GRR [@warner1965randomized] and OUE [@wang2017locally]. Both of these are parametrised by the LDP parameter $\varepsilon$.\frac{(\textrm{e}^\varepsilon-1) s_x}{(\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)p_x + 1} + \sum_{y \in \mathcal{B}}\frac{s_y}{(\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon}-1)p_y + 1}. \end{aligned}$$ By stationarity and complementary slackness we find for all $x \in \mathcal{A}$ that $$\begin{aligned}
 \label{eq:v}
p_x\left(v - \frac{\partial f(p)}{\partial p_x}\right) = 0.\end{aligned}$$ By summing all $x \in \mathcal{A}$, we find $v = n$. Suppose we have found the optimal $\hat{p}$, and define $\mathcal{A}' = \{x : \hat{p}_x > 0\}$. For $x,x' \in \mathcal{A}'$, it follows from (\[eq:v\]) that we have $$\begin{aligned}
    \frac{ s_x}{(\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)\hat{p}_x + 1} &= \frac{ s_{x'}}{(\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)\hat{p}_{x'} + 1},\end{aligned}$$ hence $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{s_{x'}}{s_x}((\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)\hat{p}_x+1) = (\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)\hat{p}_{x'}+1.\end{aligned}$$ Summing over all $x' \in \mathcal{A}'$, we can solve $\hat{p}_i$ as $$\begin{aligned}
 \label{eq:hatp}
    \hat{p}_x = \frac{\#\mathcal{A}' - \frac{\sum_{x'\in \mathcal{A}'}s_{x'}}{s_x}  + (\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)}{(\textrm{e}^{\varepsilon} - 1)\left(\frac{\sum_{x'\in \mathcal{A}'}s_{x'}}{s_c} \right)}.\end{aligned}$$


already above noted, the flexible strands of fiberglass precluded the permanent attachment of TiO2 because, as water passed by, the fiberglass strands bent and flexed releasing TiO2 particles, particularly at high fluid flow rates. For Bellobono, in addition to all the limitations also above noted, the photocatalytic process gradually oxidized the organic membrane reducing its activity over time. In addition to all the limitations also above noted, Cittenden""s TiO2 sloughed-off because it was wash coated to the silica gel substrate. In addition, the void space between silica particles was so small that flow through the system was restricted making the structure unsuitable for commercial applications.

Bergman passed the poem on to the artist who spent six months making it into a book to be handed back to Reeves as a gift.

"I thought it was fantastic," says Reeves. "Holding it I just had this moment of looking at it and going 'wow, if I'd like to have this, then other people would like to have this,' so we tried to make it a work as a book."

Reeves is keen to stress that the poem is not a true reflection of his personal life, nor was it designed to counteract his media-created lonely image.

"It's only personal in the sense of looking out and regarding my sense of humour. I don't usually take baths in my despair room with a misery candle burning,"

The pair went to Germany to work with Gerhard Steidl - a renowned printer of arts books - to reproduce Ode to Happiness, printed on thick, quality paper with its own slipcase. And with it being limited to 4,000 copies, is almost a piece of art in itself.

"It's very much an artist's book - a book that's meant to be held and touched," Grant says. "We really cared about the quality of the paper as the drawings are really prints.

"I'd like to encourage people to cut it up - which sounds weird - but you could have this framed artwork if you wanted to."

by Sandi Busch

Spaghetti squash provides vitamins A and C.

Spaghetti squash is perfectly named because its flesh separates into spaghetti-like strands. If you love spaghetti but limit your pasta intake because of calories or carbs, then you already have two reasons to choose this vegetable replacement. Spaghetti squash also delivers a range of nutrients, including fiber and vitamins C and A.

Basics

Like other winter squash, spaghetti squash has a tough rind that’s difficult to cut, so the easiest approach is to bake or boil it whole. After it’s cooked, it’s a breeze to cut in half, then drag a fork across the flesh to separate it into strands. One cup of cooked spaghetti squash only has 42 calories, compared to a cup of cooked

Such solar generators are known in the art. For example, German Patent Publication (DE-OS) 2,545,911 illustrates a rotating space craft body comprising several flexible screens to which the solar cells are secured. The screens may be brought from a folded up position into a stretched out or fanned out position. The screen or umbrella ends are equipped with boxes which take up the flexible screens in the folded up condition. These boxes are brought into the unfolding position by centrifugal force whereby the screens or umbrellas are opened up. The movement of the boxes is controlled by extendable carriers.

to follow his father’s policy of stasis, maintaining the status quo at the cost of economic stagnation. If it does so, the regime may remain stable for another one or two decades, but in the longer run it is almost definitely doomed. On the other hand, Kim Jong-un might decide to move his country toward market capitalism while maintaining a firm grip on power. There is some chance that he would succeed in this endeavour, making North Korea another ‘developmental dictatorship’ of the type we have seen so frequently in East Asia since 1945. However, it appears more likely that attempted reforms would merely speed up the regime’s demise.

Each of the bars is an extruded part of one-piece construction configured to have a spine, and a channel-forming structure projecting inwardly from the spine to form a pair of channels which extend lengthwise of the bar and which open laterally for receiving respective edges of two adjacent panels of said series of panels. The spine and the channel-forming structure of each bar are integrally formed as a one-piece extrusion.

This invention relates to semiconductor chip fabrication and in particular to methods of fabricating, integrating and electrically isolating high-voltage and low-voltage bipolar, CMOS and DMOS transistors and passive components in a semiconductor chip monolithically without the need for high temperature fabrication processing steps.
In the fabrication of semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) chips, it is frequently necessary to electrically isolate devices that are formed on the surface of the chip, especially when these components operate at different voltages. Such complete electrical isolation is necessary to integrate certain types of transistors including bipolar junction transistors and various metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors including power DMOS transistors. Complete isolation is also needed to allow CMOS control circuitry to float to potentials well above the substrate potential during operation.
Complete isolation is especially important in theinclude a source-body short isolated from the substrate. So while switch 50 does not utilize a DMOS transistor such as the preferred implementation of AC switch 45 does, it still needs isolation to be integrated into an IC with other circuitry.
Suppressing Snapback Breakdown Effects
Aside from the need to integrate NMOS devices with isolated source body shorts, another limitation of conventional CMOS is its inability to prevent undesirable snapback breakdown effects in MOSFET operation, particularly in NMOS transistors.
Snapback breakdown refers to a phenomena leading to negative resistance in a device where for some range of operating conditions an increase in current corresponds to a “decrease” in the voltage sustaining capability of the transistor. Negative resistance is especially problematic in power electronic circuitry, giving rise to excess currents, oscillations and


instability, electrical noise, localized heating, thermal runaway and even device destruction.
In power electronics, methods are required to prevent negative resistance at all costs, including using special device construction involving unusual design and process methods, in intentionally degrading or limiting the maximum voltage or current imposed on a device, and by other circuit and application methods. Unless a device is overheating, negative electrical resistance is generally a consequence of either parasitic bipolar conduction, conductivity modulation resulting from impact ionization, or some combination of both.
In FIG. 2A for example, a lightly doped drain NMOS 60 comprising P-type substrate 61, P+ substrate contact 62, N+ drain 64, N− drift region 65, MOS insulated gate 69, and N+ source 63 is biased in its on state with some positive voltage ˜Vcc applieddoping. The higher effective doping decreases depletion spreading into the N− layer and forces the equipotentials to bunch up even more, essentially increasing the local electric field at the edge of the drift region and further increasing impact ionization. The result is another cause of negative resistance since more impact ionization causes a high local field and contributes to even more current. Moreover, the two negative resistance effects can occur simultaneously, interacting in a complex and even unpredictable way. Regardless of the mechanism, the result is a decrease in the drain voltage that the NMOS can sustain at a given current.
Electrically the phenomenon of snapback is shown in graph 75 of drain current ID versus drain voltage VDS in FIG. 2C. Ideal device breakdown BVDSS shown by curve


diameter wafers and modern submicron wafer fabs—fabs capable of high-density transistor integration, large die and high yields at low manufacturing costs.
What is needed is a process for integrating high-voltage and DMOS transistors with fully-isolated floating pockets of low-voltage CMOS, bipolar transistors, diodes, and passive circuit components that eliminates the need for high temperature processing and epitaxy. Ideally, such a manufacturing process should employ “as-implanted” dopant profiles—ones where the final dopant profiles remain substantially unaltered from their original implanted profiles by any subsequent wafer processing steps. Ideally the process should be constructed in a modular architecture where devices may be added or omitted and the corresponding process steps added or removed to the integrated flow without changing the other devices available in the process's device arsenal.I've played through to the third mission.

Strategic Considerations
------------------------

The nature of the problem under investigation introduces several complications, which require explanation, as well as a perhaps less-than-obvious approach. Ideally we would like to compare the behavior of the proton conductance in the same cell under identical conditions while varying only the solvent (D~2~O or H~2~O) on one side of the membrane and keeping pL~o~ and pL~i~ constant (pL~x~ refers to either pH~x~ or pD~x~). However, the high membrane permeability of water means that only symmetrical solvent studies can be contemplated. Less obviously, due to the increased


This latter value corrects for the fact that the currents did not always reach steady state by the end of the pulses, as well as correcting for any time-independent leak current. In this example, and in other experiments, the shift in the current-voltage relationship was very nearly 40 mV/U decrease in pD~o~. These effects are quite similar to those of changes in pH~o~ in water ([@B16]).

Another effect of changes in pD~o~ evident in Fig. [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"} is that the conductance was activated more slowly at lower pD~o~. The time course of activation of H^+^ or D^+^ currents was fitted by a single exponential after a delay (Eq. [2](#E2){ref-type="disp-formula"}). In some cases the fit was good, as in the example shown in the inset to Fig. [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}, but sometimes theNH~4~ ^+^ (♦), and 15//50 mM NH~4~ ^+^ (▪). At each NH~4~ ^+^ gradient, the *g* ~D~-*V* relation was shifted 10--15 mV positive to the corresponding *g* ~H~-*V* relation. Moreover, *V* ~rev~ was consistently more positive in D~2~O at any given NH~4~ ^+^ gradient. Apparently NH~4~ ^+^ gradients were less effective at clamping pL~i~ in D~2~O, perhaps reflecting the higher viscosity of D~2~O (Table [I](#TI){ref-type="table"}), or the higher *pK* ~a~ of NH~4~ ^+^ in D~2~O ([@B63])---at any given pL there would be a smaller concentration of neutral ND~3~ than NH~3~ available to permeate the membrane. The cytoplasmic acidifying power of 3 mM NH~4~ ^+^ in D~2~O might be roughly equivalent to that of 1 mM NH~4~ ^+^ in H~2~O, as was observed in the experiment illustrated in Fig.


ions carry the current.

The substantially lower conductance of proton channels in D~2~O than in H~2~O suggests that the charge-carrying species is H^+^ (or D^+^) rather than OH^−^ (or OD^−^). The isotope effect for D^+^ is large because its mass is twice that of H^+^, but OD^−^ is only 6% heavier than OH^−^, and thus a much smaller isotope effect is to be expected: 41% for D^+^ vs. 3% for OD^−^ for a classical square-root dependence on the mass of reactants ([@B41]). A similar argument can be made against H~3~O^+^ which would have a predicted isotope effect of just 8% over D~3~O^+^. However, the extremely high selectivity of the *g* ~H~ has been ascribed to a Grotthuss-type or proton-wire permeation mechanism, which could exist for L^+^ or OL^−^, butin channel closing occurs before deprotonation at the internal site.

One remarkable aspect of the data in Fig. [11](#F11){ref-type="fig"} is that there is no suggestion of saturation of the relationship between *V* ~rev~ and *V* ~threshold~. We previously reported saturation of the shift in the position of the *g* ~H~-*V* relationship above pH~o~ 8, with only a 10--20-mV shift between pH~o~ 8 and pH~o~ 9 ([@B16]). In the present study, similar apparent saturation was observed, and extending the measurement to pH~o~ 10 resulted in no further shift relative to pH~o~ 9. However, we found that at high pH~o~, *V* ~rev~ deviated substantially from *E* ~H~. In the previous study we felt that we could not resolve *V* ~rev~ at pH~o~ 9 due to the rapid kinetics. Although tail currents


at pH~o~ 9 or pH~o~ 10 were resolved less well than at lower pH~o~, when we plot *V* ~threshold~ against the best estimate of *V* ~rev~ (Fig. [11](#F11){ref-type="fig"}), the data fall on the linear relationship consistent with the other, better determined data points. It appears that there is an anomalous loss of control over pH~i~ at very high pH~o~. It is difficult to imagine that pH~o~ is not well established by 100 mM buffer in the bath, and, assuming that *V* ~rev~ reflects the true ΔpH, pH~i~ must increase a full unit when pH~o~ is changed from 9 to 10. One possibility is that some additional pH-regulating membrane transport process is working under these conditions. For example, a recently described Cl^−^/OH^−^ exchanger ([@B79]) working "backwards" might exchange externalthat a more accurate prediction can be based of the true ΔpH, which we feel is reflected more closely by the observed *V* ~rev~ than by the applied ΔpH. The new, improved relationship (in H~2~O) is: $$\documentclass[10pt]{article}

This relationship is very similar to that described by Eq. [6](#E6){ref-type="disp-formula"}, in predicting a ∼40-mV shift in *V* ~threshold~/U change in ΔpH, and *V* ~threshold~ near +20 mV at symmetrical pH (ΔpH = 0), but emphasizes the use of *V* ~rev~ as the ultimate indication of the true ΔpH. The dotted reference line in Fig. [11](#F11){ref-type="fig"} illustrates that *V* ~threshold~ is positive to *V* ~rev~ over the entire voltage range studied.

"WATERGARDENING"MAGAZINE

#1This
is the newest pond magazine to be made available to all of us
pond people. In my opinion it is also the best! I was
excited after reading my first copy of the magazine due to it's
inclusion of lots of material that I am asked for - ie how to
pre-determine the required flow (and hence the correct
size/number of pumps) for a waterfall of certain width and
length. This full color magazine includes enough gorgeous
pictures of


pond water must be filtered to
remove fish waste and debris which falls into the water
as well as to keep the water clear for viewing the fish.
If the detritus is not removed, toxins are generated
which harm the health of the fish. A bottom drain should
be installed to remove the heavy waste and gases from the
bottom of the pond and carry them to the filter system.
In addition, the bottom of the pond should not be flat
but gently sloped to the drain.In order to add aeration to the
water, most ponds have a waterfall. The falling water
gathers oxygen and injects it into the pond. Also, we
highly recommend venturi jets which introduce more oxygen
to the water, as well as add circulation and turbulence.
The movement of the water encourages the fish to
exercise. In addition,this added water circulation helps
keep the pond clean by pushing the debris toward the
drain.The last component of a koi pond is
shade, either natural or man-made. This shade keeps the
direct sunlight off the pond in order to inhibit algae
bloom. It also protects the pond from radical temperature
changes which are unhealthy for the koi. Lastly, it keeps
the harsh rays of the sun from fading the brightness of
the koi's colors.In every culture, there are
artifacts or receptacles that were used to hold water,
plants, and fish. In our modern day, the garden pond has
many interpretations. Ponds can be constructed in
concrete, fiberglass, molded plastic, or with various
types of liners. We are going to take a look at the many
different ways you can create a relaxing waterscape
appropriate for koi, keeping in mind their basic
requirements.Although there


liner suitable for raising koi because they can
be made to a size adequate for raising active koi.
Filters and waterfalls can easily be installed. Because
the bottom is flat, we recommend a Tetra vac drain which
sits on the bottom of the pond and handles the removal of
the waste products from the tank and transports them to a
filter. These ponds are easily placed in any site from a
small patio to a corner in the garden. If need be, they
are easily dismantled for moving to a new location.Liner material is ideal for koi
ponds as it is affordable and very easy to install. In
addition to this type of container, however, koi can be
raised in doughboy pools, in large troughs, or in
fabricated tanks. Filtration, aeration, and even plants
are easily added to the larger receptacle.fish
wastes and vegetation which have fallen in the pond to
reach the bottom drains to the filter. For such a large
body of water, the water is usually clear except for an
occasional algae bloom. The filtration system consists of
an in-pond gravel Japanese style Japanese filter, as well
as an out-of-pond filter filled with zeolite. Even though
this large pond has some drawbacks, the koi grow large
and beautiful.

Indoor-Outdoor
PondSome people enjoy the koi so much
they want the fish to be a part of the family! An unusual
pond allows the fish to swim to an inside viewing area.
The opening to the house is sealed with a clear
plexiglass that is cut just above the water line. The
pond is very contemporary and dramatic. A drawback to
having the pond in the house is the moisture problem it
creates. Also,


the very
large body of water. This pond is in full sun and was
very green when we photographed it. We are not sure if
they even had a filter. The fish were visible only if
they came to the surface to eat.

Another Public PondThis pond is on a property in Bel
Air, California, near the UCLA campus and is maintained
by the school. The effective use of rocks, pebbles,
waterfalls, plants and fish create a tranquil setting.
The plants also contribute to the traditional mood of
this pond. Although the pond is too shallow and is in
full sun, it is relatively clear due to the excellent
filtration system. Feeding this pond is a gigantic,
natural looking rock waterfall several yards away. Notice
the fish clustering near the edge in hope that the guests
will feed them.

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the total number of people affected by diabetes is expected to rise to an estimated 300 million cases by the year 2025 \[[@B1]\]. The onset of diabetes immediately increases the possibility for the patient to develop a broad spectrum of irreversible complications \[[@B2]\]. Both type 1 \[[@B3]\] and type 2 \[[@B4]\] diabetes have devastating consequences especially on small and large blood vessels. A considerable effort has been put into finding treatments for this condition and its complications. Among them, targeting endogenous peptidergic systems or their downstream signalling mechanisms is emerging as a valuable therapeutic option.

In this review we will outline some of the most recent advances from our research group and others


of disorders, including diabetes and its major complications.

4. PACAP and PAC1 Receptors Distribution in the Retina {#sec4}
======================================================

PACAP and its high-affinity receptor PAC1 are broadly distributed in a number of organs/systems. Of interest, different studies using rodents have shown that both PACAP and PAC1 immunoreactivity (IR) sites are also detectable in the retina and the nervous tunica of the eye, both known to be highly sensitive to long-lasting glucose insult. Indeed, immunohistochemistry studies have shown that PACAP-like IR is evident in a population of sensory neurons in the rat uvea \[[@B29], [@B30]\] and in trigeminal ganglion cells \[[@B31]\]. PACAP-IR is also localized at high densities in nonretinal parts of the eye, such as the iris sphincter and the ciliary body \[[@B31], [@B32]\]. Topographically, specific cell populations were found toleading cause of end-stage renal failure and about 30--40% of patients need renal transplantation \[[@B74]\]. The main clinical features that frequently precede diabetic nephropathy are hypertension and poor glycemic control. Key factors that are involved in diabetic kidney damage are oxidative stress, overproduction of advanced glycation end products (AGE), apoptosis, and inflammation due to the local release of proinflammatory cytokines \[[@B75]\]. Despite the well-established activities of the peptide in many other diabetes complications, the action of PACAP in the kidney of diabetic patients has captured scientific interest only in the past two years. Since the pleiotropic peptide is known to exert anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antioxidant effects, it appeared reasonable to think that it could be a suitable candidate to also prevent the development or delay the progression of


ganglionic cell death \[[@B84], [@B85]\], suggesting that advances have been made to overcome the problems associated with poor peptide availability. An alternative objective being pursued is to increase the average half-life of the peptide once systemically injected. The strategy could be by blocking DPP IV enzymatic activity on PACAP through the coadministration of a specific inhibitory agent. Interestingly, metformin, an oral agent commonly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes involved in the reduction of hepatic glucose production and/or insulin resistance, has shown to also decrease plasma DPP IV activity, limiting the inactivation of exogenously administered peptides \[[@B86]\]. In this regard, Ahrén and Hughes (2005) \[[@B87]\] have elegantly demonstrated that another DDP IV inhibitor, namely, valine-pyrrolidide, when administered through gastric gavage, increases insulin response to PACAP and other substratesmechanism. One of the most devastating complications of persistent hyperglycemia is micro- and macroangiopathy that may determine abnormal vasculogenesis. However, the exact pathogenetic mechanisms are still not well understood. In the proposed scenario, longstanding high glucose levels in the blood stream cause both mechanical (shear stress) or oxidative injury (↑ ROS production) to endothelial cells, whose in turn react by triggering local inflammatory responses, sustained PKC activation, and aberrant angiogenesis (↑ endothelial cell proliferation). PACAP seems to play a homeostatic role in this process. Once released by the neighboring smooth muscle cells (SMCs) it binds to PAC1 receptors expressed by both endothelial cells and SMCs, thereby activating a cAMP-driven signalling cascade that inhibits glucose-induced proliferation of both cell populations and ROS production and dampens PKC function as well


were seeded at a density of 1.5 × 10^4^ cells per well in a 96-well plate, previously coated with 30 μL of Matrigel® (DB Biosciences). Pictures were taken with a Leica camera and afterwards analyzed by a semi-automated plug-in for ImageJ software as previously described by Gilles Carpentier (2012). All experiments were performed in triplicate.

Live-cells fluorescence microscopy and Lysotracker fluorescence assay {#Sec9}
---------------------------------------------------------------------

For live-cell imaging, HCC cell lines and primary human hepatocytes were seeded (1.5 × 10^4^ cells per well) in a chambered coverglass (Thermo Scientific) and treated as indicated before. After 24 h cells were washed twice in cold DPBS and stained with LysoTracker DNS-99 (Thermo Fisher). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (1:5000). Verteporfin auto-fluorescence was observed in the far-red spectrum (Cy5 channel). Fluorescence images of live-cells were obtained using an automated inverted microscopeformaldehyde. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (1:5000) and analyzed by confocal microscopy (Olympus FV1000, Olympus, Volketswil, Switzerland) at 60x magnification. The number of GFP-WIPI-1 dots was quantified using ImageJ software and using a modified version of the plugin described elsewhere^[@CR32]^.

Immunocytochemistry {#Sec11}
-------------------

HCC cell lines were grown on glass cover slips in 24-well plates (2 × 10^4^ cells per well) and treated as indicated before. Cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized and blocked in 5% goat serum (DAKO, X0907), 0.3% Triton-X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in DPBS and stained with anti-galectin-1 antibody (Abcam -- 1:1000) and matched with Alexa Fluor® (AF) 488 conjugated secondary antibodies (Life Technologies -1:1000). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (1:5000), coverslips were mounted with VECTASHIELD Antifade Mounting Medium (Vector Laboratories, H-1000) and fluorescence images were taken using an automated inverted


sample from its respective BafA/CQ stimulated condition. Flux under control condition was set to 1. **d** Representative immunoblots for p62 and β-actin in HuH7 and HepG2 cells after VP (16 and 24 h) treatment. *P* values \< 0.05 were considered statistically significant and are indicated as follows: \**P* \< 0.05; \*\**P* \< 0.01; \*\*\**P* \< 0.001; \*\*\*\**P* \< 0.0001; ns, not significant

The tumor-specificity of VP-induced lysosomal compartment dysregulation, autophagic flux blockade and proteotoxicity {#Sec22}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We confirmed the high tropism of VP for the lysosomal compartment also on primary human hepatocytes (Fig. [5a](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}). An increased number of VP-loaded lysosomes was observed only for the highest dose of VP-treated hepatocytes after 24 h (Fig. [5a](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}). An increase in the pH of the lysosomes towards alkaline values was not observed (Fig. [5b](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"}). The VP-induced cytotoxic effect previously observed was specific to HCC cells asVP treatment either alone or in combination with SF for both HCC cell lines (Supplementary Fig. [5A-B](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). Same significant trend was observed for the expression of the phosphorylated forms of S6 kinase and 4E-BP1 in the presence of VP, especially in HuH7 cells compared to HepG2 (Supplementary Fig. [5A-B](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). VP-induced lysosomal compartment instability and dysregulation of the autophagic machinery observed in vitro were confirmed in the PDX model, with an increased glycosylation rate of LAMP-1 and HMW-p62 proteotoxic aggregates, accompanied by a consequent inverted expression of LC3B (Supplementary Fig. [S5C](#MOESM1){ref-type="media"}). We showed that SF is lysosomotropic, leading us to hypothesize that it could also be sequestered in the lumen of lysosomes. Therefore VP-induced lysosomal pH alkalinization, LMP and proteotoxicity are the main molecular events of the interaction with


with VP in order to elicit a dual inhibitory effect on autophagy and lysosomal compartment. After the passive lysosomal sequestration of SF and a significant upregulation of TFEB and LAMP-1 genes, VP induces an alkalinization of intraluminal lysosomal pH and LMP with a significant downregulation of CLEAR genes involved in lysosomal hydrolase and acidification. In our in vitro and in vivo models, we confirmed that SF enhanced autophagy compared to the controls^[@CR19]^, while conversely it was blocked in combination with VP. A greater accumulation of lysosomes was also observed in PDXs after SF treatment, which was ultimately abrogated by VP, accompanied by an increase of the glycosylation rate of LAMP-1. When HuH7 or HepG2 (both B-RAF wild type) were treated with SF, we did not observe a decreaseIs w a composite number?

The Pew report said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier. The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending, the report said.

For every dollar spent on higher education from the Georgia general fund budget, the state spent 50 cents on corrections, according to the report. That represented somewhat lower spending on corrections than the national average — Pew estimated 60 cents is spent on corrections for every dollar spent on higher education.

Susan Urahn, managing director of the Pew Center on the States, said budget woes are prompting officials in many states to consider new, cost-saving corrections

The nationwide figures, as of Jan. 1, include 1,596,127 people in state and federal prisons and 723,131 in local jails — a total 2,319,258 out of almost 230 million American adults.

The report said the United States is the world’s incarceration leader, far ahead of more populous China with 1.5 million people behind bars. It said the U.S. also is the leader in inmates per capita (750 per 100,000 people), ahead of Russia (628 per 100,000) and other former Soviet bloc nations which make up the rest of the Top 10.

an easy and useful method for temporomandibular joint reconstruction using a costochondral graft and well-vascularized soft-tissue flap. In this case report, we describe reconstruction of a more physiological temporomandibular joint on the skull bone of an 8-year-old female with micrognathia caused by Goldenhar syndrome.

CASE REPORT
===========

The patient underwent a tracheostomy to correct her airway obstruction at 2 months of age. Upon her referral to our department at 6 years of age, micrognathia caused by Goldenhar syndrome was confirmed. A head and neck computed tomography (CT) scan showed the following: (1) hypoplasia and deficit of the mandible (left ramus: Pruzansky type IIB; right ramus: Pruzansky type III); (2) severe glossoptosis; and (3) airway constriction resulting from marked hyperplasia of granulation tissue surrounding the tracheostomy site.

Patisserie Valerie has been saved from collapse after entrepreneur Luke Johnson, who owns 37% of the company, provided £20m in loans to the struggling chain.

Mr Johnson agreed to lend £10m for three years to owners Patisserie Holdings plc, which the company said would provide "immediate liquidity".

He has also provided a further bridging loan facility of up to £10m.

The firm said it had also raised another £15m by issuing new shares.

The directors said the company had required an immediate cash injection of no less than £20m, without which it could not continue trading in its present form.

The cafe chain has been fighting for survival after revealing on Wednesday it had uncovered "significant, and potentially fraudulent, accounting irregularities".

On Friday, the company said its finance director Chris Marshironic. ‘The hunter was about to be hunted’, just the way Johnny Greene had briefed them the previous evening.

Keelor fired his maiden burst from the Gnat’s guns and hit bull’s eye, as the Sabre’s right wing and elevator spewed off metal parts and smoke. Keeping his nerves under order, a calm and composed Keelor continued closing into the Sabre and fired his penultimate burst at 200 yards. Mortally hit, the right wing of the Sabre ripped off and the aircraft headed in a spiral towards mother earth.

IAF had scored its first jet-to-jet air combat victory. This was also the second kill by an Indian pilot since WWII. It was the first Gnat kill in the world. What was exceptional about this kill was that the Sabre was armed


town in fighter pilot hangouts all across the world.

The PAF intelligence belatedly rushed to upgrade the status of the Gnat to ‘most dangerous’. It is well known that post the Chhamb dogfights, PAF pilots avoided the nimble Gnat to a great extent. Greene, Keelor, Pathania and Sandhu were awarded the coveted Vir Chakra each for their daredevilry over the battlefields of the 1965 war. Dandapani, the CO of 230 SU, was also awarded an AVSM after the war. Their kills helped bust the Sabre’s invincibility myth.

The ground war

Operation Grand Slam ground to a halt short of Akhnur by 5 September 1965 with a tenacious defence by the PA (IA). The IA’s effort was ably supported by the IAF strikers who pounded the PA in a timely manner. Thebe favouring the Pakistanis. They had arrived undetected over Halwara and had caught the IAF CAP, their would-be tormentors, at a time when the Hunters were taking off at low speeds. Having eliminated the proximate CAP threat, Rafiqui turned his attention towards Halwara airfield some distance away. It lay open and exposed, bristling with aircraft, vehicles and other potential targets for the high power Browning ammunition. ‘Let’s plaster the airfield boys,’ Rafiqui ordered his formation as each one of them eased into a much rehearsed shallow gun dive attack, unmindful of the threatening ack-ack fire from the Indian anti-aircraft gunners.

Halwara airfield stared at the bleak prospect of obliteration as Rafiqui’s aircraft began their heady attack run. The tip of PAF’s sword was slicing through IAF’s defences and at


depressed the firing button for the first time and saw the volley of tracers lead the high explosive shells all the way to the Sabre. The Sabre was hit and caught fire. Yunus Hussain did not survive this attack and went down with his Sabre in a trail of smoke. Cecil Choudhary frantically exited the combat and turned to escape towards Pakistan. After a hair-raising low-level flyback, he had just about landed back at Sargodha when his aircraft flamed out due to want of fuel on the taxiway.

The tables had been turned on the Pakistanis over Halwara in a fierce counter-attack by the IAF. Rafiqui and his formation had penetrated into the IAF’s inner sanctum and had come within a hair’s breadth to causing mayhem at Halwara. However,through its place as a fundamental move in judo.

I don’t know a ton about martial arts, nor am I particularly interested in fighting in general, but I was fascinated by the level of detail that went into each video.

You don't necessarily need to merge your vector layers. Your title actually comes close to what you want, which is to perform a union.
Starting with inputs layer a and layer b, bothquestion the student more about his or her specific purpose (e.g., “Why are you going on to graduate school?” or “How does a full-time job as a newspaper reporter relate to your long-term career goals?”)

Have the student give you all of the logistics you’ll need to submit the letter, along with the date by which the letter is needed.

Try to write the letter as soon after this meeting as possible, while the information is still fresh in your mind. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can forget the important details necessary for a strong letter.

period, especially around 1977, were largely focused on considerations of portability and type safety, in an effort to cope with the problems we foresaw and observed in moving a considerable body of code to the new Interdata platform. C at that time still manifested strong signs of its typeless origins. Pointers, for example, were barely distinguished from integral memory indices in early language manuals or extant code; the similarity of the arithmetic properties of character pointers and unsigned integers made it hard to resist the temptation to identify them. The unsigned types were added to make unsigned arithmetic available without confusing it with pointer manipulation. Similarly, the early language condoned assignments between integers and pointers, but this practice began to be discouraged; a notation for type conversions (called`casts' from the example of Algol 68) was invented to specify type conversions more explicitly. Beguiled by the example of PL/I, early C did not tie structure pointers firmly to the structures they pointed to, and permitted programmers to write pointer->member almost without regard to the type of pointer ; such an expression was taken uncritically as a reference to a region of memory designated by the pointer, while the member name specified only an offset and a type.

Although the first edition of K&R described most of the rules that brought C's type structure to its present form, many programs written in the older, more relaxed style persisted, and so did compilers that tolerated it. To encourage people to pay more attention to the official language rules, to


royal canadian mounted police, formerly the North West Mounted Police, began its institutional life in 1873 as a political instrument. Sir John A. Macdonald had in mind a federally loyal armed cavalry that would spread across the West to “civilize” the population, and pave the way to fully bring the territories into a peaceful, productive confederation. The only face of government across vast swaths of western territory, officers routinely made calls that went beyond mere law enforcement. As the RCMP approaches a century and a half of history, Maintiens le droit (“uphold the right”) remains its official motto.

Its dual legal-political mission is typical of colonial police forces. However, many of those institutions considered successful today heeded an important lesson: while upholding the right (beyond the strict letter ofpeople and resources. It seemed like a clear and direct endorsement of Brown’s two final pillars, separate employer status and a board of management.

Elliott spent the next several months championing the cause. In late November, he spoke about the importance of governance reform to an audience at the Canadian Club of Ottawa; afterwards, he told reporters, “Frankly, I’m not at all of the view that the government will come to the conclusion that it should give us more authority and more flexibility without some increased accountability to go along with it, and I think a board of management can provide that accountability.”

Actually, there were signs that the Conservatives were less keen than ever. Mukherjee says that as 2010 wound down, “Public Safety told us in private meetings that


a state that raises corn and cotton, cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I’m from Missouri, and you have got to show me.”

I take it as a sign (however flimsy) of hope for a board of management. My government insiders did hint at some internal support for reconsidering the idea, once existing reforms “take hold and settle a bit.” At one point during our interview, Paulson says that if gaps were to emerge in the current model, and “if it could be staffed properly—you probably do have a point—a board of management could add some value.” Maybe there will yet be an alignment of views from the top down that will finally cleave the Mounties from the government’s court, saving them in theprocess. Just don’t think it will be easy. “People want to come in here and peddle their ideas, they had better show me that it is going to work,” Paulson says, rising to shake my hand.

Second-harmonic imaging from a modulated domain structure.
We present a new second-harmonic (SH) imaging technique to study the domains in a hexagonally poled LiTaO(3) nonlinear photonic crystal by using a femtosecond laser. By detecting the SH images at different planes, the distribution of the 180 degrees -inverted ferroelectric domains can be characterized, and the contributions of different nonlinear tensor components, modulated differently in the domain structure, can be selectively determined. Fundamental understanding and potential applications of such SH imaging techniques for the inverted nonlinear domain structures are presented and discussed.In other words, the Citation was originally a judgment, subject to an appellate process. It was itself a form of final judgment. This Court finds that the Citation was a proper judgment for purposes of the transferred judgment.
Second, the Court concludes that premature renewal of the judgment does not void or make voidable the judgment. Here, appropriate notice was provided to Galloway of the intent to renew the judgment. There is no harm in this process.

decision, was the document ADOSH was required to file. We disagree.
¶ 11 Appellants' argument would require us to equate the term "civil penalty" with "final order." But the language of section 23-418(J) distinguishes an order or decision from a civil penalty: "After an order or decision on a civil penalty becomes final...." (Emphasis added.) The use of the prepositional phrase demonstrates that the term "civil penalty" is not synonymous with a "decision" or "order." See, e.g., City of Phoenix v. Yates, 69 Ariz. 68, 72, 208 P.2d 1147, 1149 (1949) (When interpreting a statute, "[e]ach word, phrase, and sentence must be given meaning so that no part will be void, inert, redundant, or trivial."). It is true that the statute requires that there must be a final orderpay for these shows. Before i stumbled on this site I was fully prepared to pay the $30-$60 per season. Instead I looked around for a little bit and in five minutes I found this site and have recently purchased a 1TB hard drive and am creating a massive archive of all the OTR on the site so far I have about 210 shows but each show has 3-4 seasons in it so I have 1000+ seasons of just about every type of Radio show you could want. I love the fact that I got it for free. It amazes me that all this stuff is free because most of them arent in the store. it further amazes me that someone would write a 2 star review for


later when I was in Viet-Nam on AFRS, When I was discharged I started to collect Tapes of OTR shows. I soon found out I had a serious Tinnitus problem. This caused trouble trying to get to sleep. I found that the playing of the shows through a small pillow speaker distracted me so as to blot out the constant squeal of the Tinnitus. Then I discovered that listening to the Radio Shows while driving on long trips seemed to speed up the time taken on the ride.
When you concentrate on the shows the time flies by.I am talking about trips that take hours (8 - 16 hours) I am now 70 years old and still enjoy them. TV stinks it dulls your imagination, OTR allows you mind"Violets, Sweet Violets".

Every woman wants to kiss him ....
Every cop wants to catch him.
Sounds like an earlier version of
"catch me if you can"
Now as I spend my life traveling the world I have added 4 new places to visit based on Harry's wanderlust adventures. I just wish I could meet the femme fatale that Harry lime has left broken heart in his wake. Chasing the cash .... finding romance .... but never forgetting the con.
Now I understand why Orson Wells had such a superstar status in Hollywood.

Oklahoma School Consolidation Could Save $27M

October 3, 2018

An education professor at the University of Central Oklahoma College of Education says Oklahoma could save nearly $27 million by consolidating its school districts. The policy paper by James Machell found that Oklahoma had 525 school districts that served about 700,000 students last year. The report recommends consolidating some districts that have less than 1,000 students.we give students the tools and we tell them the rules, they will amaze us with what they can do.

A beach day with your dog sounds like fun in theory – and the day may start off great. The two of you find yourselves running around the beach, digging in the sand, and swimming in the salty seawater.

It’s all going well until that seagull lands just a little too close to your towel, or someone leaves a sandwich out on their towel. (Seagulls are always bad news and the sandwich thing is sort of the human’s fault, right?) You see, there’s a lot that can go wrong when you mix sun, sand, and dog. Will we still let our puppers tag along? Of course. Will we always remember that time they peed on some child’s sand castle? Always.

head of the Auckland marae at the centre of the complaints about living conditions said it had been unfairly smeared for political purposes.

Awataha Marae chief executive Anthony Wilson said most interns he had spoken to had loved their stay.

He said politicians had seized on the publicity and the marae was being booted back and forth like a political football, which has upset some kaumatua.

Mr Wilson told Morning Report today the marae was not a five-star-hotel and the students were sleeping side by side on the floor - marae style.

But he said they were well looked after and many have said they wanted to stay, rather than be billeted around the country.

The Auckland marae now has security guards at its gates.

Mr Wilson said the security guards were put there(R-Genoa Township), the lawmakers who co-sponsored the legislation that authorized the do-over, attended the ceremony.

Superintendent Mary Beth Freeman said the move to add 2017's votes from neighboring counties to Delaware County's results from 2015 was "an unprecedented scenario." Work resumed on the project after voters in Franklin, Marion, Morrow and Union counties cast their ballots.

Freeman said she may have appeared calm last year after learning the center's funding was in jeopardy, but in reality, she was stunned.

"I was probably in disbelief and I thought, 'This can't be happening and there must be an easy solution to this,' " she said.

While the Supreme Court of Ohio's March ruling made it clear there would be no easy solution, Freeman said Brenner and Carfagna made sure there was a viable one.

Carfagna


said it's Freeman who deserves credit for her "inspirational" leadership after the levy's viability came into question. He said Freeman acted to ensure the center's consolidation project, which he called "an investment in the future," would continue.

"What this represents is a frontier of opportunity, I think, to our young men and women," he said of the expansion project at the south campus in Liberty Township.

Brenner said he was impressed by the construction project at the campus, which sits off U.S. Route 23 just outside Delaware's city limits.

"This looks like it's going to be a great project once it's completed," he said.

Brenner said Freeman and the center's board deserve credit for helping state lawmakers realize the importance of the legislation that led to the revote.

The center plans to closeis where the difficulty and the promise of UBI lies. The studies will ideally be long-term, randomized control trials: Ideally, you’re talking about thousands of people receiving hundreds to thousands of dollars annually over a decade or longer; otherwise findings could just be statistical noise. That’s a ton of time and money, and it will require the cooperation of academics, governments, and nonprofits. If done well, the research could show that basic income is the economic equivalent of mosquito nets: relatively low cost, empirically validated, and life enabling.
