Disabled textbox gets posted in one view but not in another

I have a strange problem where I have an Edit view that renders disabled textbox for slug, so user can see the slug of the content he is editing but cannot change it. The slug can only be changed on the Create view where the textbox is enabled. In Edit view only Title can be changed.
In edit view the Slug textbox gets populated from the ViewModel passed in and this works.
However, when posting back the changes, the slug does not get posted in the Edit view for one content type (which is, I believe, the correct behaviour) and as such Model.IsValid (because I have the Required attribute attached to Slug property) fails. This is, as said, most likely


wrong.
If we negate the problem, we get $P(A\cup B) = P(A)\cup P(B)$ and $B \not\subset A$ and $A \not\subset B$. We want to show this negation leads to a contradiction.
Since $B \not\subset A$, there exists $x\in B$ such that $x \notin A$. Similarly, since $A \not\subset B$, there exists $y\in A$ such that $y \notin B$.
Notice since $x \in B$, then $x \in A \cup B$ and since $y \in A$, then $y \in A \cup B$. Thus, $\{x,y\} \subset A \cup B$ and thus $\{x,y\} \in P(A \cup B)$. Since $P(A\cup B) = P(A)\cup P(B)$, we can then write $\{x,y\} \in P(A)\cup P(B)$. This means either $\{x,y\} \in P(A)$ or $\{x,y\} \in P(B)$. Consider the first case where $\{x,y\} \in P(A)$. This implies $\{x,y\} \subset A$ implying steps++;

that in many large real-world networks, the proportion of vertices with degree $d$ obeys a power law.

In [@Bollobas01] Bollobás et al. gave a mathematically precise description of the BA model and showed rigorously that for $d \le n^{\frac{1}{15}}$, the proportion of vertices with degree $d$ asymptotically almost surely obeys a power law.

A natural generalisation of the BA model is to take the probability of attachment to $v$ at time $t+1$ to be proportional to $d_t(v)+a$, where $a$ is a constant representing the inherent attractiveness of a vertex. Buckley and Osthus [@Buckley04] generalised the results in [@Bollobas01] to the case where the attractiveness is a positive integer. A much more general model was introduced in [@Cooper03] and further results extending [@Bollobas01] were obtained. Many more results on these variations of the basic preferential model

Let $t=nm$, and fix $s\leq t$. Let $s'=m\lceil s/m \rceil$, so we have $s'\leq t$. Now let $${\mathbf{\omega}}_x=(\omega_2,\ldots,\omega_{s-1},x,\omega_{s+1},\ldots,\omega_t) \quad
\text{and} \quad {\mathbf{\omega}}_y =
(\omega_2,\ldots,\omega_{s-1},y,\omega_{s+1},\ldots,\omega_t),$$ where $\omega_i\in\Omega_i$ and $x,y\in \Omega_s$. For $z\in \{x,y\}$, let $d^z_{t}(v)$ denote the total degree of $v$ at time $t$ in $H_{t}({\mathbf{\omega}}_z)$ and let $e$ denote the edge added at time $s$. Suppose that in $H_t({\mathbf{\omega}}_x)$ the target vertex of $e$ is $v_{k_1}$ and in $H_t({\mathbf{\omega}}_y)$ the target vertex of $e$ is $v_{k_2}$. Note that at any time, for every vertex $v$ other than $v_{k_1}$ or $v_{k_2}$, the degree of $v$ is the same in $H_t({\mathbf{\omega}}_x)$ and $H_t({\mathbf{\omega}}_y)$. Therefore $F({\mathbf{\omega}}_x)-F({\mathbf{\omega}}_y)$ depends only on the degrees of $v_{k_1}$ and $v_{k_2}$ and is given by $$\label{eq:Fdiff}\begin{split}{  \setlength{\global\PullBackLength}{2em}  \kern\PullBackLength  &

That puts the leaders of the hedge fund industry, a secretive and lightly regulated group, well ahead of banking executives, who have been put under greater scrutiny since the 2008 financial crisis. Jamie Dimon, chief executive of the largest bank in the country, JPMorgan Chase, made a relatively measly $25 million last year by comparison. Another frequent target of Wall Street critics, Lloyd Blankfein, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, made $23 million in 2015.

Meanwhile, the hedge fund industry has doubled in size over the past decade, and executives are bringing in high pay despite weathering a tough year in the financial markets. Dan Loeb, the head of Third Point, a large and well-known hedge fund, said in a letter to investors last month that the industry is

Police in Killarney yesterday may have thought they were rushing into a burning home to save its occupants, but the reality was a little more surreal.

After bursting through the open door and following smoke down to the basement, officers instead found a man on a motorcycle, revving the engine and spinning its tires to the point that the basement carpet had caught on fire.

A 48-year-old resident of the home was arrested and remanded into custody on charges of uttering threats, mischief, breach of recognizance and resisting a peace officer.

The home did sustain some smoke damage.

Various prognosis patterns may be observed according to the clinical grade of the patient on application. When suspected, an early diagnosis and early treatment of the disease are the most important factors which effect complication and mortality rates.

Plans are in the works to shoot a film of present day St. Marys for future generations to view.

Kill noted it could include shots of downtown, the new school as well as area businesses and industries.

“One thing we talked about is to see if Rich would do the same thing now, so 50 years from now, 80 years from now, there is a video recording,” Kill said.

“Now it would be easier to narrate it because we have the ability to add sound on videos, which they couldn’t do back then.”

Simultaneously the temperature of the heating tape was increased by 2°C and allowed to reach a steady temperature. The material was placed back on the heating source and recording began again. This process was repeated for increasing values of *T*~1~ by 2°C until 40°C was reached. Data collected by the thermocouple data logger and software was the temperature of the heating tape *T*~1~, temperature of the outer surface of the prosthetic material under test *T*~0~ and length of experiment (time). This routine was repeated until all materials (as in Table [1](#TB1){ref-type="table"}) had been tested individually. Once all materials had been individually tested, the next stage was to measure the temperature profile of the liner and socket material when used together. This is done by placing the socket


material on top of the liner material and then putting this stack of materials on the heating tape. Fig. 2Schematic illustrating the placement of the prosthetic material (either liner or socket) on the heating tape. Interface temperatures T~1~ and T~0~ are measured by thermocouples

Similar to the testing individual materials, thermocouples were placed on the outer surface of the each of materials -- liner and socket. Fig. [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"} shows a diagrammatic representation for testing of these two stacked materials. Data collection was only stopped this time when *T*~1~ = *T*~3~ or *T*~3~ ceased to increase in temperature. Data collected was temperature of the heating tape *T*~1~, temperature of the outer surface of the liner material *T*~2~, temperature of the outer surface of the socket material *T*~3~ and duration of experiment. AFig. 4Temperature profile of*a* Polyurethane liner*b* Thermosetting socket material at different heat source temperatures when tested individually using the experimental setup Fig. 5Temperature profile of*a* Polyurethane liner*b* Thermosetting socket material at different heat source temperatures when tested in combination (by being placed on top of the other) using the experimental setup

Utilising this behaviour of the prosthetic materials, the thermal time constant *τ* is computed using the logarithmic method. Time constants are parameters of systems that obey first order, linear differential equations. Consider that the equation for the thermal response curve of the prosthetic test material is $$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

This implies that if the temperature of the test material is plotted with respect to time, then the slope of the line is the time constant and the intercept is the natural log of initial value. Using this concept, the temperature profile of the material when tested individually or in combination with another material as recorded by the data logger, can be utilised to compute theas possibly the remnants of tropical cyclone Trevor, BOM says.

to the Cantonese "hak gwai," a derogatory phrase for African-Americans.

In a series of texts sent in June he describes an incident involving a "bunch of hock gwais shooting each other."

"Sprained my ankle over these barbarians," he says.

One of the suspects "went to the hospital after he got shot lol," the officer texted.

"Too bad none of them died," he added. "One less to worry about."

The texts disparaged against blacks, Hispanics, Indians, gays and poor people.

More than one officer involved

In another exchange referring to African-Americans, Lai wrote: "They're like a pack (of) wild animals on the loose."

The exchange happened during a night of civil unrest in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray last year. Gray, an African-American, died after suffering head and neck injuries in the back of aFourteen officers, including a captain, were implicated in sending or receiving such texts. Suhr attempted to fire eight of those officers, but was barred from doing so after a judge determined he waited too long to initiate disciplinary proceedings. The city has appealed the judge's decision.

Adachi, the public defender, whose office released hotel surveillance footage of Furminger and other officers' alleged crimes on YouTube, prompting the federal investigation, noted that text messages discovered in that case -- and in Lai's -- were discovered by accident.

Adachi said it made him wonder what other police officers are texting that hasn't come to light because they haven't been accused of a crime.

"What are the chances of two officers being arrested ... and there's racists texts on (their phones)?" he asked. "I


last week, Gascon said he has concluded two things about the police department he once ran.

"No. 1: There's a substantial number of people within the organization that are racist," he said. "And No. 2: There's a culture that has allowed those people to thrive and survive and even promote within that environment."

Suhr said he did not want to "get into it" with Gascon, whom he succeeded as chief, but he noted that "every one of these officers I've contended with were there when he was the chief of police."

Gascon likened the leadership of the department's union to police in Alabama and Mississippi in the 1950s.

"They would probably feel right at home," he said. "It's a good old boys network that does everything they can to protect the statusquo."

Martin Halloran, president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, did not return a call or email seeking comment.

Gascon, who in addition to serving as the San Francisco police chief for more than a year, spent most of his career at the Los Angeles Police Department, which has seen its own share of scandal.

Even after decades in law enforcement, Gascon said, he was stunned by the contents of the text messages he's read.

"I never in a million years would have dreamt that those kind of conversations would go on between San Francisco police officers," he said.

He said officers should not be allowed to engage in such talk, even in private.

"I would say OK if you're a plumber, if you're a carpenter," he said. "But if you're somebody that


Analysis and robot pipelined automation for SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI or SELDI-TOF MS) with protein arrays has facilitated the discovery of disease-specific protein profiles in serum. As array technologies in bioinformatics and proteomics multiply the quantity of data being generated, more automated hardware and computational methods will become necessary in order to keep up. Robot automated sample preparation and analysis pipeline for proteomics (Raspap) in SELDI provides a solution from the lab bench to the desktop. In this approach, the entire processing of protein arrays is delegated to a robotics system and the bioinformatics automated pipeline (BAP) performs data mining after SELDI analysis. A key part of BAP is the creation of a journal-styled report in HTML (with text, embedded figures, and references)// see https://github.com/inria/spoon/issues/3337

federal Anti-SLAPP law?
Well I'm so glad you asked.
First, a little background
about the American legal system.
I'm gonna let you in on
a secret about lawsuits.
So, come in close.
No, a little bit closer.
lawsuits are really expensive,
and lawyers are also really expensive.
One of the things about the
American judicial system
is that we have what's
called the American rule,
where you pay for your own attorney,
whether you win or lose.
The British rule, in contrast,
is where the winner of the lawsuit
gets their attorneys fees back,
effectively as damages,
against the party that lost the lawsuit.
So under the British system,
if you're the plaintiff
and you win your lawsuit,
then you get to recover your

And if you're a defendant,
that effectively defends against
an unmeritorious plaintiff suit,
then you get your attorneys

Ifthe lawsuit
by filing something called a complaint.
The complaint is a pretty
bare bone document.
The standard is what's
called notice pleading.
You just have to put
the defendant on notice
of the general thing
that you are alleging.
The court will assume that
all of the allegations
in that complaint are absolutely true.
Whatever the plaintiff said is true.
And contrary to what you see on TV,
we don't want judges or the court system
to get rid of all lawsuits
at this very early stage
for lack of evidence.
I see that on TV all the time.
"Oh there's no evidence in this complaint.
"Therefore, it has to be dismissed."
That's not how it works.
The court will assume everything
that the plaintiff said
is true at the time of filing.
Because sometimes, you
need to gather evidence

You might not have all of the evidence

John Oliver argued
that President Trump, who
is a friend of Bob Murray,
has filed SLAPP suits in the past.
Which is arguably true.
But it's also the case
that President Trump
has greatly benefited from
Anti-SLAPP laws as well.
In fact, President Trump used
an Anti-SLAPP law recently,
to his advantage when he recovered
a huge amount of attorneys fees.
You might recall that Stormy Daniels
filed suit against the
president for defamation.
And in that suit, Stormy Daniels alleged
that she had an affair with the president.
The president tweeted in response,
"A total con job, playing the
Fake News Media for Fools,
"but they know it!" exclamation point.
Now according to Stormy Daniels,
she claimed that President
Trump meant to convey
that she was a liar, that
she could not be trusted,
and she was falsely complaining
about crimes that never happened.
And on the basis of
President Trump's tweets,
Stormy Daniels claimed that that wasissue
where videos and TV
broadcasts are national
and often multiple
states have jurisdiction
over the particular claim.
So what we see often is a clever plaintiff
can venue shop or jurisdiction shop
to get a jurisdiction
that is more favorable
to that particular plaintiff.
It's an open question
whether Federal Courts
will even apply a
state-based Anti-SLAPP law,
even if the state has an Anti-SLAPP law.
- When we reached out to Murray last week
to review the details that we planned
to include in this piece,
he wrote a letter back saying
we were falsely vilifying him,
launching scurrilous attacks,
and arguing that none of his
lawsuits are SLAPP suits,
which they absolutely are.
- So was John Oliver right
that Bob Murray's suit
was a meritless suit?
Well, probably.
The trial judge threw out Murray's case,
and the Court of Appeal probably
would have done the same thing.
But John Oliver
understandably doesn't exactly
put Murray's argument in
the best


light possible.
John Oliver implies that
Murray's entire claim
was predicated on calling
him a geriatric Dr. Evil,
and that they had a
staff member dressed up
as a squirrel and tell Bob to (bleeping).
- I actually don't even
remember that happening.
Can we just, quickly can
we just for a moment,
check the tape?
- It's made out to
(audience laughing)
Eat (bleeping) Bob!
(audience cheering)
- Fair enough, my mistake, we did it.
It's funny the things you forget.
- And while it's absolutely true
and that did form part of the allegations,
that's not everything that Murray
actually complained about
in the lawsuit itself.
Murray also claimed
that John Oliver, quote
"deliberately omitted the
facts plaintiffs provided
"regarding the Crandall
Canyon Mine incident,"
"intentionally, falsely
and outrageously conveyed
"that Mr. Murray has
no evidence to support
"his statements that an
earthquake caused the tragedy,"
"reinforced the impression
he gave his audience
"that Mr. Murray lied about
the cause of the mine collapse
"and hadsays
all of these insanely ridiculous things
about Bob Murray, and
sings and dances about it.
- Hey, what's the big idea?
- We're using protected
speech to tell Bob Murray
to eat (bleeping)!
- Bob Murray?
- But the thing is, Murray
could always sue again.
Because there is no
national Anti-SLAPP law.
- We badly need effective
Anti-SLAPP laws nationwide,
to deter powerful people like Bob Murray,
from using the courts to shut down
people's legitimate dissent.
- He could file suit
in West Virginia again.
And Oliver could be subjected
to another defamation suit.
Because, as Oliver probably
rightly points out,
Murray never wanted to win the lawsuit.
He just wanted to inflict pain
against John Oliver and HBO.
Now I will say, if you're
going to do a victory dance
in the middle of Times
Square like John Oliver,
you're gonna wanna wear a
perfectly custom tailored suit.

Now, the author of Hebrews says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God;”[15] and Paul writes to the saints at Ephesus, “By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”[16] Here it is evident that good works alone do not satisfy the whole law of salvation. Yet without them we have no proof of our discipleship in Christ, called as we are by our Lord to be “doers of the Word and not hearers only.”[17]

Windows Mobile/C: Wait until variable changes

I'm currently writing a wrapper library for windows mobile in C/C++. I have to implement and export the following functions:
void start_scanning();
int wait_for_scanning_result();
void stop_scanning();

start_scanning() is called to start the scanning process. wait_for_scanning_result() will wait until a result is available and return it, and stop_scanning will abort the process.
The library I am using has a callback function that is executed when a result is available.
void on_scanning_result(int result)
{
   /* My code goes here */
}

Unfortunately I have to implement the functions above, so my plan was to solve it like this:
void on_scanning_result(int result)
{
   scan_result_available = 1;
   scan_result = result;
}

int wait_for_scanning_result()
{
   /* ... wait until scan_result_available == 1 */
   return scan_result;
}

I have no idea how to do this


in windows/C and I would be very glad if someone could help me or tell me which functions I have to use to accomplish this.

A:

You can use windows Synchronization Functions.
Basically all you have to do is:
  * CreateEvent - create an event
  * WaitForSingleObject - wait for this event to become signaled
  * SetEvent - signal the event

Tonight against UConn, ECU was only able to muster up 340 total yards. Yes, the Pirates’ offense did score with just over nine minutes left in the game, but up until that point the only points scored by ECU came courtesy of this pick six

Global War on Cash

While the drive towards cashless or less cash economy as we have seen above has its own merits from fast, seamless transactions to more transparency yet the very idea has another side to it which is the global war on cash. The push towards cashless society has a natural negative consequence i.e. the global war on cash. Many countries across the world have been in the favour of limiting or regulating the supply of cash altogether or in some placespatterns, and the number of ERPs was also automatically determined. Simulation N400 datasets with different SNR levels and real N400 datasets of 15 subjects were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results indicated that the proposed method accurately extracted the N400 component from a few trials of EEG data, and a significant difference of extracted N400 waveforms was observed between two experiment conditions. In the proposed method, the resampling-average difference significantly enhanced the SNR of EEG samples. Combined with the dictionary learning, the low-rank constrained sparse decomposition effectively removed the spontaneous EEG activities and automatically selected the correct ERP components.


the larger work is one long story, perhaps published in multiple parts. So for a book series where the stories are more self-contained, book would likely be more appropriate.
The word book has many related uses: according to definition 4 in the OED entry, a book is "a main subdivision of a larger written work". This definition occurs in uses like "books of the Bible" or "books of the Iliad". While the Iliad and Bible are usually published as one volume, they can still be separated into books.

8. What I liked from Week 7: Everything. What's not to like about the most dominant victory in club history? One stat overlooked in the scoring circus: The Saints were penalized just once for 10 yards. That's a big improvement the previous three games when the Saints averaged seven penalties for 62 yards.

what he was at first, because his face was covered in ash, but his hair was cut in a style I recognized—the same cut every boy got when he passed the age of eight and started toward manhood. I grabbed him in my arms, not even thinking about making him worse. His arm and chest were sticky.

"Get out of there!" Badger was yelling at me, but his voice got louder while he was shouting; he was following after me. "Whoever did this could still be close by. They could even still be here. We can't..."

And yet there he was, kneeling next to me, taking the boy out of my arms and checking his throat for a pulse. Typical firstborn behavior.

In any case, all contemplation aside, Rook was clearly reluctant to depart. If only we could have taken Sarah Fleet with us, I thought, then banished the very idea from my mind. As difficult as it was to travel with Rook, it would be unimaginable to travel with someone like Fleet.

"Thank you for your assistance," I said tentatively, finally allowing myself to return my attention to Sarah Fleet.

She tilted her head to the side and scratched her neck. "Work that stick out of your ass," she said, by way of _you're welcome_.

Rook snorted, and I tried my best not to feel _too_ humiliated. Perhaps I was doomed—no one


we are to full employment. Other economic analysts have noted that stimulus at this point risks overheating the economy.

Not to mention that if Trump implemented some of the other wacky policies he’s flirted with — a trade war, mass deportation, defaulting on our federal debt obligations, returning to the gold standard — a painful recession would ensue, according to multiple private-sector economic forecasters.

Regardless, the historical record suggests that four more years of expansion are unlikely. That is, even if recoveries don’t die of old age, and even if Trump doesn’t spark a worldwide financial crisis by refusing to raise the debt ceiling, it seems reasonable to expect that we might face a recession at some point during his presidency.

So, what happens when the numbers turn against him?

Three consequencesseem likely.

One, the administration will start searching for scapegoats other than Trump’s own party and its choices. Immigrants, minorities, Fed officials: Watch out.

Two, assuming Trump will have already signed a major fiscal stimulus package during an expansion, there won’t be much powder left in the keg when Keynesian stimulus is actually needed. That is, fiscal tools available to mitigate the recession will be unusually limited.

And three, the numbers will become suspect once again, and Trump may even try to mess with the official government numbers to suit his narrative. This — and not a recession, blame-gaming or impotent policy response — would cause the most enduring damage to our democracy.

We find Rochell’s first issue dispositive and therefore decline to address his second issue.

        The trial court initially had dismissed Rochell’s petition and directed him to “first
pursue this request within the Mississippi Department of Corrections Administrative Review
Program.” Rochell then filed a “Notice of Exhaustion,” explaining that he previously had
sought relief with the MDOC, but was informed by the MDOC that it “does not handle
Parole Board Matters.” But the trial court again dismissed Rochell’s petition, finding that
he had failed to name the proper party as a defendant. Rochell then filed a “Motion for
Relief From Judgment” and asked the trial court to “relieve


him of the prior dismissal and
reopen the proceedings.” The trial court then considered the merits of Rochell’s petition and
ultimately denied it, as detailed above.

         Although the trial judge did not specifically reference Section 47-7-18, we note that
the first requirement for an inmate to receive parole without a hearing under that section is
that the inmate “has met the requirements of the parole case plan established pursuant to
Section 47-7-3.1.” See Miss. Code Ann. § 47-7-18(1)(a) (Rev. 2015). Both Sections 47-7-
18 and 47-7-3.1 were added to the statutory scheme via House Bill 585, which took effect
on July 1, 2014.

                 Statutory interpretation is a

question of law. Tipton v. State, 150 So. 3d 82, 84 (Miss. 2014).

¶6.    Rochell argues that “Section 47-7-18(1) makes release mandatory upon certain

findings.” Specifically, Rochell argues that Section 47-7-18(1)’s language is “plain and

unambiguous” and emphasizes the word “shall”: “[e]ach inmate eligible for parole pursuant

to Section 47-7-3, shall be released from incarceration to parole supervision on the inmate’s

parole eligibility date . . . .” Based on this language, Rochell argues that “all offenders

eligible for parole pursuant to [Section ] 47-7-3 are now subject to the parole release

procedures in [Section] 47-7-18, as a matter of statutory law notwithstanding when

convicted.”

¶7.    The State argues that Section 47-7-18 does not apply retroactively to offenders

sentenced prior to July 1, 2014. But Rochell counters that Section


               9
¶22.   Because this case does not concern the prospective/retroactive distinction, our analysis

should begin with the plain language of the statutes at issue. Rochell claims he is entitled to

the benefit of Mississippi Code Section 47-7-18(1), which provides:

       (1)      Each inmate eligible for parole pursuant to Section 47-7-3, shall be
                released from incarceration to parole supervision on the inmate’s parole
                eligibility date, without a hearing before the board, if:

   is a less pronounced emphasis of the androgen preponderance.
In older men there are relative decreases in the preponderance of testosterone by 30-50% compared to the previous values found in young men.
The relative testosterone deficiency per se can be regarded as responsible for a number of age-related disorders. Reduction of muscle mass accompanied by limitation of body performance capacity, reduction of bone density and in individual cases even osteoporosis, an increase in prostate size referred to as benign prostatic hyperplasia, reduction of libido and potency, and psycho-vegetative disorders such as depression, which are disorders that are often generically referred to as Male Menopause and are caused by relative androgen deficiency in men. Libido is the desire to obtain an erection, while potency is the ability to have that erection.
It


is known that in younger men, testosterone values are also effectively increased by daily treatment with antiestrogens to treat male infertility. Treatment of Male Infertility, Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg, New York 1982; Fuse, H. et al., Archives of Andrology 31 (1993) 139-145); Nonsurgical Treatment of Male Infertility, Jarow, J., Infertility in the Male, pp. 410-422. However, it has been thought that antiestrogens do not seem well suited for treatment of a relative androgen deficiency in men. Thus, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,861,389 proposes the use of at least one aromatase inhibitor for the production of a pharmaceutical agent for treating a relative androgen deficiency in men.associated

Where the lines of energy cross seven times, even smaller vortices are

the body, and together they are considered to be the front and rear aspect
of one chakra. The frontal aspects are related to the person's feelings,

been connected to a finer form than the gray. That is, a more sensitive
person with a sensitive body will tend to have a bluish first layer, whereas
a more athletic, robust type of person will tend to have a more grayish

chakras look like vortices made of a net of light, just like the rest
of the etheric body. One can perceive all the organs of the physical body,
but they are formed of this scintillating bluish light. As in the leaf's

that Trump is unacceptable as a presidential candidate, but we are split by strong partisan ideologies and cannot coordinate a solution to stop him. Similarly, a significant part of voting Republicans think that Trump is unacceptable, but they too, thus far, have been unable to coordinate a solution. Trump is exploiting the fact that we cannot unite across our ideological divides.

In addition to the ability of a test to detect early curable lesions, a screening test can only be effective if the targeted individual undertakes the test. This behavioural consideration presents certain barriers for endoscopic methods and in some countries also for FOBT. Participation rates for both FOBT and endoscopic methods are highly variable and clearly sub-optimal in many settings \[[@CR7]\].

It has been suggested that a blood test would be more acceptable and circumvent some of the barriers with established screening methods \[[@CR8], [@CR9]\]. A blood test could be deployed as an alternative frontline screening test or else as a "rescue" strategy that aims to engage those who reject the existing RCT-proven methods such as FOBT and flexible sigmoidoscopy. The appropriate manner of deployment


of colonoscopy or pathology procedures or quality was undertaken as the study aimed to assess marker performance relative to outcomes determined in usual clinical practice. All procedures were performed by hospital-accredited specialists and so met site-specific standards for sedation, monitoring, imaging, and equipment. Histopathology and staging of neoplasia used routine procedures at each clinical site. Cases were excluded if any data crucial to clinical diagnosis was not obtainable, e.g. if colonoscopy was incomplete.

Pathological classification {#Sec6}
---------------------------

An independent physician assigned diagnosis for all cases used in this study on the basis of colonoscopy, surgical and histopathological findings. CRC was staged according to AJCC 7th Edition \[[@CR18]\]. Advanced adenoma was defined as adenoma with any of the following characteristics: (a) ≥ 10 mm in size, (b) \>20 % villous change, (c) high gradeleast one qPCR replicate was positive for either *BCAT1* or *IKZF1* DNA methylation; no cycle threshold (Ct) value cut-offs were applied. Each PCR plate included three no-template control samples and a standard curve based on 0-2ng bisulphite converted fully methylated human DNA (Merck-Millipore, MA, United States) prepared in a background of nuclease-free water (Promega, WI, United States). The mass of methylated *BCAT1* and *IKZF1* DNA in each plasma specimen was determined from the batch specific standard curve. The level of methylation was expressed as the total mass of methylated (*BCAT1* plus *IKZF1*) DNA as a percentage of the total amount of recovered DNA per processed specimen.

It seems more likely that at the present moment, blood DNA tests will be applicable to people where an FOBT is inappropriate due to bleeding benign lesions or as a second line rescue strategy for engaging those in screening who otherwise reject the faecal test.

The false-positive rate for the two-marker blood test provides insight into specificity and the factors that might influence it, and hence cost. Our observed specificity was 94--95 %, which was slightly better than the reported 91 % for *SEPT9* \[[@CR13]\]. Smoking, family history of CRC, gender and age were not significant predictors of assay positivity. There was no significant difference in DNA yields between non-CRC and cases with stage I-III cancers, however higher yields were observed for some stage IV cancers as reported previouslywant to

Last
October, while a California court was busy enforcing a surrogate
motherhood
contract, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC)
was
busy trying to persuade a Royal Commission that surrogacy contracts
should
not be enforceable in Canada.

To
me, the California court was on the right track. Doesn't it seem
fitting
somehow that people who value babies more than money should get the
babies,
while people who value money more than babies should get the
money?

Of
course, the NAC was not simply arguing that surrogates should win in
court
whenever they change their minds. They went much further, calling for
an
outright ban on surrogacy contracts and criminal penalties for
intermediaries
who arrange diem.

seem to fear that if we allowed the "buying" of babies, purchasers
would
buy them for all sorts of dubious purposes--that we would be
sanctioning

While psychoeducational strategies and general support are always indicated for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), pharmacological strategies are yet not well established. Antidepressants such as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors have been shown to influence positively symptoms and immunological parameters. However, a considerable part of CFS patients do not satisfactorily respond to them. Bupropion, a centrally acting catecholamine-transporter blocker without classic psycho-analeptic properties, shows theoretical potential to improve fatigue symptoms.

From the seemingly superficial, such as a refrigerator that automatically tracks its contents and updates your grocery list appropriately, to the truly useful, such as home environmental controls that optimize energy use and save money for owners, the innovations that have emerged from this development are too numerous to count. Healthcare, however, is one of the areas in which it stands to arguably make its biggest impact yet.

\[[@r39]\]. The mortality rate in human varies from 3-15% and can reach up to 50% in clinically affected horses \[[@r40]\]. WNV in India has been confirmed by seroprevalence and by virus isolation on different occasions from mosquitoes \[[@r41]-[@r43]\] bat \[[@r44]\] and man \[[@r42], [@r45]-[@r47]\]. WNV infection has also been reported in animals and birds \[[@r48]-[@r52]\].

Horses and human are the main hosts. Animals other than horses may be susceptible to WNV, but rarely become ill. Antibodies have been found in serum samples from bats, horse, dogs, cats, racoons, opossums, squirrels, domestic rabbits, eastern striped skunks, cows, sheep, deer and pigs \[[@r53]-[@r60]\]. The virus is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. About 20% of the infected people develop fever with other symptoms. Fatal, neurologic illness occurs in less than 1% ofnonhuman primates, rodents, birds, dogs, antelope, and bats have shown serological evidence of infection \[[@r98]-[@r100]\]. Experimentally different animals like mice, rats, guinea-pig, deer, raccoons, bobcats, and monkeys can be infected.

The virus is zoonotic and causes flu-like symptoms characterized by fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, headache, retrobulbar pain, myalgia, sub-sternal pain, malaise, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, and lymphadenitis in humans. Vesicular lesions may be present in the pharynx, buccal mucosa, or tongue \[[@r101]-[@r106]\]. Encephalitis is rare but may occur in children \[[@r107], [@r108]\].

The transmission is more likely by trans-cutaneous or transmucosal route. The virus can be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals having lesions of the disease or by blood-feeding insects. In endemic areas, *Lutzomyia* sp. (sand fly) is proven biologic vectors. Black flies (*Simulidae*) are the most likely biologic insect


cases; 87 were reported during the 1980s, only 4 cases during the 1990s, and no cases have been reported in the USA or Canada since 1998 \[142\]. The last documented human case in North America occurred in 1994, and the virus has not been detected in mosquito pools since 2008 \[[@r143]\]. In human, WEEV infections tend to be asymptomatic or cause mild disease after a short incubation period of 2--7 days with nonspecific symptoms, *e.g*., sudden onset of fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and malaise \[[@r139]\]. In some cases, additional symptoms of altered mental status, weakness and signs of meningeal irritation may be observed. In a minority of infected individuals, encephalitis or encephalomyelitis occurs and may lead to neck stiffness, confusion, tonic-clonic seizures, somnolence, coma and death. WEEVaggression, loss of vision, collapse, coma and death and neurologic sequelae may result. Morbidity rates reported from field cases vary from less than 1 to 1.4%. Mortality rate in outbreaks can vary from 5 to 15% but can reach 30--40% in more severe epizootics \[[@r168]\].

In human beings, most infections are asymptomatic but can manifest as severe encephalitis, and with neurological sequelae in survivors. Japanese encephalitis tends to be a childhood disease in endemic areas but all ages can be affected in a naive population. As per the estimates 68000 clinical cases occur globally each year, with approximately 13600 to 20400 deaths \[[@r169]\]. The first case of Japanese encephalitis was documented in 1871 in Japan. Approximately 4,000 people died during the 1924 epidemic in Japan, and nearly 2500 deaths

XBox 360 storage device issue with Darksiders

I've been playing Darksiders now for some time now and I've noticed that when I start the game, in the main menu where it says "Press Start", it always triggers me to select a storage device. Why does it always ask? Is there a problem in my system, or is that just normal behavior? I never had this experience with any other game which I have played.
System:
XBox 360 slim 4GB with no additional storage devices.

A:

This always depends on the game. Some games ask you to choose your storage device once (so it sets it as default), and never asks you again till you may want to change it from Game Options. Darksiders is one of the games that always ask, and its#include "stdafx.h"

report is a real mixed bag for commuters. Integrated multi-mode fares are a no-brainer and should’ve been there from the start. People should not be penalised for using multiple modes of transport to get to their final destination.

“But the report has some concerning recommendations that would make public transport more expensive. For example, seniors would no longer be eligible for Gold Opal cards and the cost for pensioners will increase from $2.50 to $3.60 and keep going up. This seems like a mean spirited way to generate revenue from some of the most vulnerable public transport users.

What they wanted was money and a platform for their comeback.

In that order.

The Clintons didn’t just need cash to pay for their mansion and all the other good things in life. To make a comeback, they needed a staff. A big one. People willing to do anything for them. And they weren’t about to pay them out of their pockets. So, in an unprecedented turn of events, they turned to the Former President’s Act, meant to provide for the retirement of presidents, to begin the process of making the former president’s wife into a future president by maintaining their loyalist staff.

The Clintons are not idea people.


Foundation was a temporary cure. The Clintons were paying their staffers by selling access to themselves and assorted celebrities, corporations and billionaires. It was okay as a party, but you can only hear Bill’s funny stories twice before you reconsider the $15K ticket price tag.

For $250K, a company got some good publicity. But for that money, they could have plastered Manhattan with billboards.

To have access to sell, there had to be power to access. Hillary Clinton had to run for the Senate. Senators have more to offer than former presidents telling stories about the good old days. But you don’t pay six figures for a senator. You do pay six figures for access to a future president.

Janus kinase 2 and downregulate the EPO receptor. Erythropoietin receptor activation seems to exert its effect by inhibiting apoptosis rather than by affecting the commitment of erythroid lineage, although the mechanism by which this occurs is as yet unclear. Anemia in cancer is associated with excessive production of cytokines that inhibit EPO synthesis, thereby interfering with the normal erythropoietic process, which leads to a reduction in red blood cells and the ability to oxygenate tissue.Q:

Check whether a string is a date in a specific format, e.g. "%Y-%m-%d"

I have a string and would like to check whether it contains a date in a given date format, e.g. "%Y-%m-%d", with format as for format-time-string.  This is for a package and users can configure the date format freely.  So I cannot just hard-code a regular expression.

A:

It seems format-time-string uses the same format as strftime(3), and strptime(3) is the reverse of strftime(3), so I wrote an Emacs dynamic module just for strptime(3), for example,
(strptime "2020-04-01" "%Y-%m-%d")
;; => (0 0 0 1 4 2020 3 nil 0)

The result is (SEC MINUTE HOUR DAY MONTH YEAR DOW DST UTCOFF), you can feed it to encode-time

fighters from around the world.

Loose government oversight over civilian volunteer battalions opened a pathway for foreign fighters from countries including the United States, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Georgia, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Croatia, Italy and Canada to join the ranks of pro-Ukrainian units with virtually no red tape.

There is even a Chechen volunteer battalion fighting for Ukraine named after Dzhokhar Dudayev, the Chechen rebel leader who led a war against Russia in the 1990s.

But recruitment rules were tightened after a push by Kiev to incorporate volunteer battalions into the National Guard, sending many foreign fighters home.

Although, according to an Azov Regiment spokesman, a new law has removed Ukrainian citizenship as a requirement for joining the National Guard.

Unlike the majority of foreign fighters in Ukrainefor whom returning home is an option, Andrey said he will never go back to Russia.

“They will never forgive me,” he said.

“I will be persecuted.”

Andrey, however, wasn’t worried about Russian authorities retaliating against his family in Moscow.

In fact, with the exception of his grandmother, he said his family generally supported his decision to leave.

“My grandma went through the Stalin times and it’s difficult to convince her that Putin isn’t right,” he said.

“She watches Russian news and is terrified by what they tell her is going on in Ukraine. It’s all lies of course.”

Years of exposure to Russian propaganda also distorted Andrey’s perception of Ukraine before his arrival.

He wondered whether the country had truly been taken over by Nazis and far-right groups as Russian media reports had claimed, or

was worn by Saint Alban.

Wilhelm Levison  noted that the story of the name, which goes back to a 5th-century Passio Albani, is composed of borrowings from other lives of saints and it has, in his words, "no place in the ranks of Acta martyrum sincera; it is a legendary tale...."

Geoffrey of Monmouth
Geoffrey repeated the story of Alban's martyrdom as given by Bede in his famous Historia Regum Britanniae  (c. 1136), with the addition of the name of the confessor he shelters, Amphibalus. He recounts a church of Amphibalus at Winchester where King Constantine consigned his son, Constans, to become a monk  and where another, later, Constantine killed one of the sons of Mordred.  Geoffrey may have gotten the name from Gildas, who describes hisenhance FANCD2 activation, indicating that the level of FANCI phosphorylation dictates FANCD2 activation. Interestingly, the three-dimensional structure of the FANCD2-FANCI heterodimer revealed a unique FANCD2 interacting domain in FANCI, which undergoes a conformational change that stabilizes its interaction with FANCD2 ([@b40-molce-38-8-669]). Structural reorganization of the heterodimer mediated by ATR-dependent FANCI phosphorylation may render FANCD2 suitable for monoubiquitination, although how FANCD2 monoubiquitination is coordinated with FANCI phosphorylation is unclear.

Fine-tuning FA pathway activation
---------------------------------

Recent studies demonstrated roles of SUMOylation that regulate FANCD2 activation. The FANCD2-FANCI heterodimer is SUMOylated following replication stress in an ATR-dependent manner, and SUMOylated FANCD2 is a target for the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin E3 ligase (STUbL) RNF4, which results in polyubiquitination and removal of FANCD2 from damage sites via the DVC1-p97 ubiquitin segregase complex ([@b28-molce-38-8-669]). Improper clearance of FANCD2


of the critical mechanisms that confer acquired chemoresistance on tumor cells, and targeting the enhanced TLS pathway using specific TLS polymerase inhibitors could be utilized as an adjuvant therapy for treating chemoresistant malignancy. Selective inhibition of the active site of one of the many TLS polymerases may be difficult to achieve, but recent structural data on protein-protein interactions that regulate TLS polymerase activities may be helpful for identifying small molecules that specifically interfere with such interactions ([@b44-molce-38-8-669]; [@b89-molce-38-8-669]).

Hyperdependency on compensatory DNA repair due to defects in the FA pathway can be exploited for achieving synthetic lethality. The best example is development of poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors to treat breast and ovarian cancers harboring *BRCA1/2* mutations ([@b4-molce-38-8-669]; [@b23-molce-38-8-669]). Because DNA lesions that cannot be repaired by base excisionnear infrared camera WFCAM on the UKIRT in the UKIDSS/UDS project [@lawrence2007]. The UKIDSS/UDS is underway, and we use Data Release 5 for this study. We align the $J,H,K$ images with the SXDS optical images using common, bright stars, and then smooth them with Gaussian filters so that the PSF sizes of the $J,H,K$ images match those of the optical images (FWHM $\approx 1.''0$). The $3\sigma$ limiting magnitudes over a $2''$-diameter aperture are calculated to be $24.5$, $24.2$, and $24.4$ in the $J,H,K$ bands, respectively. Because the zero-point magnitudes for the $J,H,K$ images are given in the Vega system, we convert them into AB magnitudes using the offset values given in Table 7 of [@hewett2006].

The SpUDS covers $0.65$ deg$^2$ of the overlapping area of the SXDS and UDS


$2190$ [Å]{} for $z=3.1$ and $1390$ [Å]{} and $1930$ [Å]{} for $z=3.7$. For the LBGs at $z \sim 4$, $6$, and $7$, we take the values given in [@bouwens2009b; @bouwens2010b]. In addition, we calculate $\beta=-2.9 \pm 0.4$ for the $z \sim 7$ stacked LBG from its $J$ and $H$ magnitudes[^4] given in [@labbe2010].

We see a weak correlation in the LBGs of individual redshifts that fainter objects have smaller $\beta$, i.e., bluer spectra, and a tendency that $\beta$ at fixed $M_{\rm UV}$ appears to become smaller with redshift. A similar correlation can be seen for the LAEs at $z=3.1$ and $3.7$ if we assume that evolution between these redshifts is negligible and treat them collectively as $z \sim 3.5$ objects. In comparison with this possible correlation seen in LAEsare taken from tables 4 – 9 of [@aller1984] and tables I and II of [@ferland1980], respectively[^8]. The abundance ratios are set to be $n ({\rm He}^+) / n ({\rm H}^+) = 0.1$ and $n ({\rm He}^{++}) / n ({\rm H}^+) = 0$ [e.g., @brown1970; @krueger1995].

For the dust extinction of output stellar spectra, we use Calzetti’s extinction law [@calzetti2000] and vary $E(B-V)_\star$ as a free parameter over $0$ and $1.50$ with an interval of $0.01$. For the dust extinction of nebular emission, we assume $E(B-V)_{\rm gas} = E(B-V)_\star$ as proposed by [@erb2006c][^9].

Note that we do not consider the effect of dust extinction on $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}$. In other words, we assume that a Lyman continuum photon either ionizes a neutral hydrogen atom or escapes into the intergalactic medium


upper limit of $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion} \sim 0.2$.

Although our LAE data cannot strongly constrain $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}$, it would be worth presenting the best-fit results for $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion} = 0.2$, at which $\chi^2$ for the $z=5.7$ LAE reaches its minimum. As found in Table \[tab:SEDfitting\_fesc05\], the best-fit parameters for $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}=0.2$ overlap well with those for $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}=0$ (Table \[tab:SEDfitting\]) within the errors, indicating that our conclusions on the stellar populations obtained in Section 5.1 are relatively robust against the uncertainty in $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}$.

The reason for $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}$ having an upper limit is that with too large $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}$, young stellar populations favored by the observed blue UV continua cannot produce nebular emission strong enough to account for the observed red UV-to-opticaland $6.6$, respectively, which are fainter than the $3\sigma$ magnitude in the IRAC $3.6\mu$m band, and derived typical SEDs of $z\sim 6-7$ LAEs for the first time. We found that their UV continua are as blue as those of dropout galaxies at similar redshifts, with UV spectral slopes $\beta\sim -3$, albeit with large photometric uncertainties. Fitting stellar population synthesis models with and without nebular emission, which is parameterized by $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}$, to the multiband data of the stacked objects at $z=5.7$ and $6.6$, we derived their stellar masses, ages, and dust extinction.

Our main results are as follows:

1.  We find that the stacked LAEs at both redshifts are fitted well by $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}=0$ models. The best-fit $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}=0$ models have low stellar masses of $\sim

They insist that environmental policies must be rolled back to accommodate short-term economic growth.

Our Spill Compensation and Control Act was passed in 1976 after the massive Santa Barbara oil spill and proposed drilling off the coast of New Jersey taught us that our beaches and shore tourism industry were vulnerable to oil spills. And the Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act was a response to the fact that we had too many abandoned contaminated industrial sites, and more sites on the national Superfund list than any other state.

SCCHN were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The role of paracrine activation of CCR7 on tumor growth was analyzed by comparing the growth of orthotopic tumors derived from B7E3 murine oral carcinoma cells in wild-type BALB/c mice, in paucity of lymphoid T cell (plt, deficient in CCL19 and CCL21 expression) mice, and in plt mice in which the implanted B7E3 cells overexpressed CCR7 (n = 14 mice per group). In the absence of exogenous ligand treatment, blockade of CCR7 signaling reduced levels of phosphorylated (activated) Akt and decreased SCCHN cell viability by up to 59% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 58.2% to 59.8%), enhancing the effect of EGFR inhibition.

Trafficking is not just an issue that affects young


or what one might call modern-day slavery. This makes such workers, who are already accustomed to discrimination and are afraid of seeking redress for their unfair treatment due to a lack of awareness of their rights, still more vulnerable to traffickers. That is why we at FRA are building on the work we have already done on the situation of irregular migrants and will next year begin new research examining severe forms of labour exploitation from a human rights perspective.

Often, the chains binding the victim to the traffickers are underestimated. One factor is, of course, the victims’ fear of being subjected to retaliation if they try to escape, or that their family members could be harmed.

In addition, PEDF was recently shown to have antifibrogenic activity \[[@B39]\].

To address mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinal disorders and to identify molecular targets for treatment and/or preventive intervention, we measured the levels of OPN, HMGB1, CTGF, and PEDF in the vitreous fluid from patients with PDR, PVR, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with no PVR (RD). In addition, we correlated their levels with PDR clinical disease activity.

2.1. Vitreous Samples {#sec2.1}
---------------------

Undiluted vitreous fluid samples (0.3--0.6 mL) were obtained from 48 patientswith PDR, 17 patients with PVR, and 30 patients with RD during pars plana vitrectomy. The indications for vitrectomy in patients with PDR were traction retinal detachment and/or nonclearing vitreous hemorrhage. In patients with PDR, the severity of retinal neovascular activity was graded clinically at the time of vitrectomy using previously published criteria \[[@B40]\]. Neovascularization was considered active if there were visible perfused new vessels on the retina or optic disc present within tractional epiretinal membranes. Neovascularization was considered inactive (involuted) if only nonvascularized, white fibrotic epiretinal membranes were present. Active PDR was present in 28 patients, and inactive PDR was present in 20 patients. Traction retinal detachment was present in 21 patients. Vitreous samples were collected undiluted by manual suction into a syringe through the aspiration line


and that there was a significant correlation between the level of vascularization in PDR epiretinal membranes and the expression of OPN \[[@B42]\]. Taken together, these findings suggest a role for OPN in the progression of PDR.*In vitro*and *in vivo* studies demonstrated that OPN is an important angiogenic factor \[[@B15]--[@B18]\]. In addition, OPN is required for the activation, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of fibroblasts into *α*-SMA-expressing myofibroblasts \[[@B11]--[@B13]\] and is upregulated in several fibrotic diseases \[[@B9], [@B11], [@B12], [@B14]\]. Our results are consistent with previous reports showing that the proinflammatory cytokine OPN plays a role in the development of diabetic vascular complications \[[@B9], [@B43]--[@B45]\].

The proinflammatory cytokine HMGB1 \[[@B20]--[@B23]\] exhibits angiogenic \[[@B24]--[@B27]\] and fibrogenic \[[@B28]--[@B31]\] effects. Another interesting role of HMGB1 in neovascularization is its ability to attract endothelial progenitordiabetic nephropathy \[[@B52]\]. In the present study, CTGF levels in the vitreous fluid from patients with PDR and PVR were significantly higher than those in the vitreous fluid from patients with RD. Our observations are consistent with previous reports showing increased CTGF levels in the vitreous fluid from patients with PDR \[[@B53]--[@B55]\] and PVR \[[@B54]\]. However, levels of CTGF in the vitreous fluid from patients with PDR were 3-fold higher than those in patients with PVR and levels of CTGF were particularly high in PDR patients with active neovascularization. In addition, exploratory logistic regression analysis demonstrated significant associations between high levels of CTGF and all PDR and PDR with active neovascularization. Our results are not in agreement with a previous report, in which Kuiper et al. \[[@B55]\] showed


Sean’s upcoming book concerns the subject of today's conversation – which is the bizarre world of quantum mechanics. Virtually nothing we equate with modern life (e.g. computing, mobile phones, or anything else involving transistors), would be possible without the wildly successful equations and predictions derived from quantum mechanics. And yet, one of science’s most famous quotations is of the revered physicist Richard Feynman saying, “I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”

This refers to the awkward lack of consensus about what drives the bizarre rules governing the quantum mechanical domain of photons, subatomic particles, and other tiny things. Virtually everything that happens down there violates all of our intuitions about reality and how it works. Most of the people who engage with the quantum realm for a---
abstract: 'It has been advocated that medical imaging systems and reconstruction algorithms should be assessed and optimized by use of objective measures of image quality that quantify the performance of an observer at specific diagnostic tasks. One important source of variability that can significantly limit observer performance is variation in the objects to-be-imaged. This source of variability can be described by stochastic object models (SOMs). A SOM is a generative model that can be employed to establish an ensemble of to-be-imaged objects with prescribed statistical properties. In order to accurately model variations in anatomical structures and object textures, it is desirable to establish SOMs from experimental imaging measurements acquired by use of a well-characterized imaging system. Deep generative neural networks, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) hold great


of the same ensemble of simulated measured images $\mathbf{g}$, a ProGAN was trained. In this case, the generator was trained to learn the distribution of measured images $\mathbf{g}$ themselves, which are contaminated by measurement noise, instead of learning the distribution of objects $\mathbf{f}$ (i.e., the SOM). The ProGAN employed a generator and discriminator with the same architectures as those employed in the ProAmGAN.]{}

The Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) [@heusel2017gans] score, a widely employed metric to evaluate the performance of generative models, was computed to evaluate the performance of the original ProGAN and the proposed ProAmGAN. The FID score quantifies the distance between the features extracted by the Inception-v3 network [@szegedy2016rethinking] from the ground-truth (“real") and generated objects (“fake"). Lower FID score indicates better quality and diversity of the generated objects. Theall ProAmGANs and ProGANs started with a resolution of $4\times 4$. During the training process, the resolution was doubled by gradually adding more layers to the generator and the discriminator until the final resolution was achieved. More details regarding the progressive training details can be found in the literature [@karras2017progressive].

Visual assessments
------------------

The ground-truth (top row) and ProAmGAN-generated objects (bottom row) corresponding to chest X-ray images are shown in Fig. \[fig:x\_fake\]. The ProAmGAN-generated objects have similar visual appearances to the ground-truth ones. Additional ProAmGAN-generated chest X-ray images are shown in Fig. S. 4 in the Supplementary file.

A ProGAN-generated and ProAmGAN-generated objects are further compared in Fig. \[fig:progan\]. It is clear that the ProAmGAN-produced chest X-ray image contains less noise than


ProGAN. This demonstrates the ability of the ProAmGAN to mitigate reconstruction artifacts when establishing SOMs.

The ProAmGAN-produced brain MR image in Fig. \[fig:mr\_fake\_compare\] contains less noise than the one produced by the ProGAN. This demonstrates the ability of the ProAmGAN to mitigate the noise in the reconstructed images when establishing SOMs.

Quantitative assessments
------------------------

The FID scores corresponding to ProGANs and ProAmGANs for the idealized direct imaging system, computed tomographic imaging system and MR imaging system with complete k-space data are shown in TABLE \[table:metrics\]. The ProAmGANs had smaller FID scores than the ProGANs, which indicates that the ProAmGANs outperformed theProGANs.
