most densely populated rural areas in Kenya ([@B33]). The demand pressure on the limited resources of North and South Nandi forests is high ([@B22]). Therefore, efforts to manage and conserve the forest's resources in a sustainable way will be crucial to the survival of this vulnerable ecosystem ([@B7]; [@B26]).

Conclusion {#SECID0E2RGM}
==========

The description of one new species and two new records for Kenya from Nandi forests, together with this comprehensive checklist, is a clear indication that opportunities for scientific studies are abundant in North Nandi and South Nandi Forests and are of crucial importance to the conservation of these unique ecosystems. Other than this checklist, very little is known about the specifics of the community or ecosystem ecology of North and South Nandi Forests. Hence, more studies should be donethe setting as in [@Perthame2014], we denote by $n(x,t)$ the cell population density and by $c(x,t)$ the nutrient concentration. The dynamics of the cell population density is governed by the following equation $$\label{eq:n}
\frac{\partial}{\partial t} n - \nabla \cdot \left( n \nabla p(n) \right)=n G(c), \quad x\in \mathbb R^d, \, t\ge0,$$ where $p(n)=n^{\gamma}$ ($\gamma$ is a constant) is the pressure and $G(c)$ represents the growth that satisfies the following condition $$\label{eqn:G000}
G'(\cdot)\ge 0, \quad G(0)=0\,.$$

The nutrient is governed by the following nutrient equation $$\label{eq:c0}
- \Delta c + \Psi (n,c)=0,$$ where $\Psi(n,c)$ is the consumption function which takes different forms in different models. As in [@PTV2014], two specific models considered here are the *in vitro* model and the *in vivo* model. For the *in vitro* model, one assumes that the nutrient


is constant outside the tumoral region; while the consumption is linear in $c$ inside, thus equation reads $$\begin{aligned}
-\Delta c + \psi(n)c=0, & \quad \mbox{for} \, x\,\in\, D;  \label{eqn:c0-invitro} \\
c=c_B, & \quad   \mbox{for} \, x\,\in\,\mathbb{R} \backslash D, \label{eqn:c1-invitro}\end{aligned}$$ where $$\label{eqn:D000}
D = \{n(x)>0 \} = \{ p(n)>0 \}\,.$$ Here $\psi(n)$ satisfies $$\label{eqn:psi000}
\psi(n)\geq 0  \quad \text {for } n\geq 0, \qquad \text{and} \qquad  \psi(0)=0\,.$$ For the *in vivo* model, the nutrient is brought by the vasculature network away from the tumor and diffused to the tissue. In this case, Eqn writes $$\label{eq:c}
- \Delta c + \psi(n)c=\chi_{\{ n=0\}} (c_B-c)$$ where $\psi$ is the same as in (\[eqn:psi000\]).

We point out that, in the present paper, $G(c)$ defined in (\[eqn:G000\]) only takes nonnegative values. Compared with the nutrient modelsin [@Tang2013; @Perthame2014; @Perthamenote], we exclude the possibility that $G$ being negative, therefore, no necortic core can appear. Besides, we remark that, since there is no contact inhibition in the growth term, albeit those two nutrient models are of great practical significance, the analysis results in [@Perthame2014], however, applies to neither case directly.

In order to build connections of the cell density model and the free boundary model, the state equation $p(n)$ takes the form $p(n)=n^{\gamma}$ in [@Perthame2014]. The limit when $\gamma \rightarrow \infty$ is considered as the incompressible limit. On the one hand, this limit is physically relevant, it boils down to consider the tumor cell tissue as an incompressible elastic material in a confined environment. On the other hand, it is mathematically interesting, since the limiting model


considered: 1) $G(c)$ is a constant in the whole domain; 2) *in vitro*; 3) in *vivo*. The main contribution of this paper is two-fold. One is to provide some a priori estimates of the non-negativity and global boundedness of the nonlinear parabolic-elliptic system. It is important to note that, different from the models in [@Perthame2014], the cell growth is not prohibited by the contact inhibition, which is the case for tumor cells in vitro, thus there exhibits no maximum pressure, and in the nutrients models, $\Psi$ is no longer necessarily smooth functions of $n$ or $p$. Therefore, the proof of the non-negativity and global boundedness is not as straightforward as in [@Perthame2014]. The other is to derive some benchmark analytical solutions for multi-dimensional front dynamics, a geometric motion\le c(x,t) \le c_B$ for $t\ge0$ and $ x \in\mathbb R^d$.

Write $c(x,t)= c_+(x,t) - c_-(x,t)$, where $c_\pm(x,t) \ge 0$ denote the positive part and the negative part of $c(x)$, respectively. Notice that at the boundary $c(x,t)|_{\partial D(t)}=c_B>0$, thus $c_-(x,t)|_{\partial D(t)}=0$. Then multiply equation by $-c_- (x,t)$, and integrate over $D(t)$, we have, upon integration by parts, $$\int_{D(t)} |\nabla c_-|^2 + \psi(n) c^2_-  d x=0.$$ Notice that by Theorem \[thm:n\], the cell density stays nonnegative and thus $\psi(n) \ge 0$. Then the above equation implies $c_-(x,t)=0$ in $D(t)$, and thus $c(x,t)\ge 0$ in $D(t)$. Hence, $c(x,t)\ge 0$ in $\mathbb R^d$.

Now from (\[eq:lc\]), we have in $D(t)$, $$\Delta c =\psi(n) c \ge 0.$$ Then, by maximum principle, we have $$c(x,t)|_{D(t)} \le c(x)|_{\partial D(t)} =c_B,$$ which indicates that $c(x,t) \le


examples, we derive the analytical solutions for the limiting models obtained from two different cases: [*in vitro*]{} and [*in vivo*]{}.

In the 1D *in vitro* models, equations become $$\begin{aligned}
-\partial_{xx} c + \psi(1)c=0, & \quad \mbox{for} \, x\,\in\,D_\infty(t);  \\
c=c_B, & \quad   \mbox{for} \, x\,\in\, \mathbb R \backslash D_\infty(t) \,,\end{aligned}$$ and we have formally assumed that on $D_\infty(t)$, $n \equiv 1$ if initially $n$ is a characteristic function [@Perthame2014; @Perthamenote]. Now assume $\psi(n)=n$ for simplicity, then at a certain time $t$ (we hereafter suppress the $t$ dependence whenever it does not cause any confusion), we have $$- \partial_{xx} c + c =0, \qquad x \in [-R(t),R(t)]\,.$$ Since $c$ is symmetric with respect to the origin, we have $\partial_x c(0) =0$, which implies that $$c(x)= a \cosh(x).$$ Here $a$with varying gamma, and the other is comparing the numerical solution with the analytical one at different times. The former test produces a result plotted on the left figure in Fig.\[fig:example2\]. As we expected, when $\gamma$ gets larger, the numerical solution get closer the analytical limiting solution. In the latter test, to get an analytical solution, recall that in Section \[sec:analytical solutions\], the boundaries will move according to (\[eqn:r-sa\]) (\[eqn:r+sa\]). Thus we numerically solve these coupled ODE system at every time step to get the front position $r_-(t)$ and $r_+(t)$, and recover the analytical solution as $$\label{eqn:n001}
n(r,t) = \chi_{r_-(t)\leq r \leq r_+(t)}\,.$$ Fig. \[fig:example2\] displays such a comparison at different times, where good agreement of the front speed is observed.

As a direct extension of the second example, we


$x\in [-5,5]$. Neumann boundary condition at both ends are used for $n$, whereas Dirichlet boundary condition $c=c_B=1$ are used for $c$ at both ends. The initial condition takes the form $$n(x,0) = \frac{0.99}{2} (-\tanh(100(x-1)) + \tanh(100(x+1)))$$ such that the two boundaries initially settle at $\pm 1$.

As always, we test two things here: one is to examine the dependence of the solution on $\gamma$, and the other is to compare the solution with the analytical result. In the left figure of Fig. \[fig:example4\] , we plot different profiles of $n$ with $\gamma = 20, \ 40, \ 80$, where again as expected, the larger $\gamma$ leads to a shape of $n$ that is closer to the analytical limiting profile. The analytical solution is obtained as $$\label{eqn:n-invtro-000}
n(x,t) = \chi_{-R(t)\leq xQ:

It has been argued that the two tasks may index different aspects of inhibition--e.g., inhibition of reified/well-entrenched processes in the Stroop versus inhibition of recently learned associations in the stop-signal [@pone.0101356-Khng1]. Some have even argued that, other than the cancellation of motor responses (e.g., in the stop-signal task), most 'inhibitory' phenomena (including the Stroop effect) may be explained by "inhibition-free model(s)" (p.183) [@pone.0101356-MacLeod2]. For example, it is possible that Stroop interference may be accounted for by proactive mechanisms such as sustained activation of goal or task representations [@pone.0101356-Stuss1], [@pone.0101356-Braver1]. More recent models of inhibitory control tend to conceptualize performance on tasks such as the Stroop and stop-signal as a result of both proactive/early-selection mechanisms (e.g., goal

Ethics Statement {#s2a}
----------------

At the time this study was conducted, there was not an ethics review board at our university. For this reason, we followed convention and sought approval from the school authorities. A letter inviting schools' participation was first sent to the schools via email. The invitation letter described the aims and target sample of the study, the tasks that the participants would be administered, and the time commitment required from participating schools and students. It also stated that the privacy of the children's data will be protected; only summary data will be reported at the end of the study. An information sheet and consent formfrom the lower academic streams who exhibited less cooperative behavior. The proportion of participants excluded for failing the performance criterion were, from the top to bottom streams, 0%, 20%, 35% and 69%. That is, none of the students from the top academic stream had to be excluded; 69% of the students from the lowest academic stream had to be excluded. The final dataset comprised 178 students (82 boys, mean age = 14.00, range = 13.15--15.89, *SD = *0.47).

As our previous findings suggest that the Stroop and stop-signal measures may be uncorrelated, a power analysis was conducted to estimate the sample size needed to minimize Type II error [@pone.0101356-Faul1]. The present sample had approximately 80% power in detecting a correlation as small as *r = *.18 (the correlation found in [@pone.0101356-Miyake1]), at α = 0.05 (one-tailed), and 99% power

On the other hand, despite being derived measures, the incongruent, neutral and congruent IEs had comparably high reliability (*r = *.91--.93). This may be attributed to the low correlations between each condition's RT and accuracy. Similarly, the lower inter-correlations amongst IE scores meant that the reliabilities of their difference and residual scores (*r* = .72--.77) were higher than the RT-based measures, even though they still fell short of conventions for adequacy. Compared to the Stroop measures, the SSRTs showed much higher reliability (*SB~2~ r = *.88--.91). Reliability of the "go" mean reaction times were also high (*SB~2~ r = *.94--.96).

The resulting model showed a significantly poorer fit, χ^2^ (46, *N* = 177) = 61.42, *p* = .06; CFI = .99; SRMR = .04; RMSEA = .04; χ^2^ ~diff~ (1) = 5.99, *p*\<.05, favoring the prior model with separate Stroop inhibitory and CRT constructs. To test explicitly the hypothesis that the Stroop and stop-signal inhibitory measures index the same underlying construct, we constrained the covariance between the Stroop and stop-signal inhibition latents in the original model to one, and their respective covariances with the CRT task latent to equality. This model showed a significantly poorer fit than the original model, χ^2^ (46, *N* = 177) = 113.40, *p*\<.01; CFI = .96; SRMR = .13; RMSEA = .09; χ^2^ ~diff~ (1) = 57.97, *p*\<.05. Results favored an interpretation that the Stroop and stop-signal tasks measure different underlying constructs.

Discussion {#s4}
==========

The present study explored the relationship between Stroop and stop-signal inhibition, examining whether observed correlations differ acrossrelated to stop-signal inhibitory *efficiency* (indexed by RT). However, inhibitory *efficiency* measured by RT scores of the two tasks should not be taken to index similar constructs or processes--a participant may be classified as a poor inhibitor when measured on one task yet do well on the other. In addition, all versions of our Stroop interference RT measures (when unadjusted by accuracy) were not significantly correlated with Stroop errors. Hence, though accuracy and RT both reflect inhibitory performance on the Stroop task, they likely reflect different competencies. The low reliability of conventional measures of Stroop interference is problematic and warrants further research in identifying a more reliable measure of Stroop inhibition.

The inverse efficiency score shows some promise with its substantially higher reliability and its attempts at reconciling speed

First I created the features.
features1 = {
    'sepal_length' : np.random.rand(120),
    'sepal_width': np.random.rand(120),
    'petal_length': np.random.rand(120),
    'petal_width': np.random.rand(120)
}

features2 = {
    'everything' : np.random.rand(120, 4)

Then I prepared the feature columns -- same as you did.

feature_columns2 = [

Now, to see what exactly is done with them when they're fed to the network we can use the feature_column.input_layer().
inputs1 = tf.feature_column.input_layer(features1, feature_columns1)
inputs2 = tf.feature_column.input_layer(features2, feature_columns2)

For example, a decrease in blood O(2) carrying capacity was observed after hypoxia acclimation. Also unexpected was an increase in whole-blood P(50) following acclimation to low O(2), perhaps facilitating Hb-O(2) off-loading to tissues. In addition, cardiac mitochondria measured in situ using permeabilised fibres showed improved O(2) uptake efficiencies. The proportion of the anaerobic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, at least relative to the aerobic marker enzyme citrate synthase, also increased in heart and skeletal red muscle, indicating enhanced anaerobic potential, or in situ lactate metabolism, in these tissues.

If a 3 a.m. phone call is a defining test for a prime minister or president, for Federica Mogherini it’s a half-awake version of hell. As the European Union’s chief diplomat, she can speak for herself when she wants — but never for the whole EU, unless she receives permission from all 28 national foreign ministers.

The other problem: Mogherini has deep reserves of soft power at her disposal, but not a single bomb or tank. On occasions like the Friday morning missile strike by the United States against a Syrian government airbase, the 43-year-old Italian’s only option was to hustle. If the EU was to have any relevance in the follow-up, Mogherini had to keep the bloc


“I have personally pushed a lot for a collective European Union attention to the region,” she said. “I was happy it was on the European Council agenda last month. We need that level of engagement.”

Russia

Grade: C -

Degree of difficulty: High

Critics reserve their harshest words for Mogherini on Russia, accusing her of appeasing the Kremlin to preserve a chance at regime change and peace in Syria.

Central and Eastern Europeans are most vocal about the complaint: “Mogherini completely fails to address a threat more than a dozen EU member states see as a major danger,” said Jakub Janda of European Values Think Tank, a Prague-based group. Given Russia’s belligerence in Ukraine and its efforts at election meddling and disinformation, Mogherini should be taking Russia head-on, critics charge.

Mogherini and her teamsay she is juggling other dynamics — including EU governments at risk of going wobbly on renewed sanctions — and count holding the line as a victory against the odds. When the bloc’s unity threatened to collapse in 2016, she got the EU’s governments to agree orally to five principles to guide relations with Moscow and managed to keep sanctions in place.

Mogherini works to counter Russian propaganda with a team of experts who tweet out evidence of media manipulation. Her team says they’ve never received so many requests for information from allies about how to replicate an EU policy initiative, and that it’s this initiative — rather than the absence of finger-wagging by Mogherini — that should be used to judge whether her approach is a success.

Syria

Grade: D

Degree


of difficulty: High

No foreign power looks good on Syria. That’s the opportunity and the problem. Whether it is Syria’s links to terrorism, refugees, Russia or Turkey, the seemingly intractable conflict is the third rail of Mogherini’s policy realm: dangerous and with no end in sight.

Mogherini has been carefully working on the parts of a Syrian solution she can influence: trying to maintain the skeleton of a functioning economy and civil society among Syrians (those displaced and those still in the country), protecting the unfortunate who have fled and keeping the door open for a negotiated political transition.

Last week’s Syria conference in Brussels — wedged between a Syrian chemical attack and a U.S. missile strike — was proof that for all her efforts, the EU remains at the mercythe opposite side shows for some contrast.

“Obviously we all know her mom died this very same way,” said Lisa Holland of the Roswell PD. “Can’t say how sad this is. It’s a difficult situation for police officer to perform CPR on any person.”

Other sources seem to confirm the report that Bobbi Kristina Brown will likely die. A source close to the family told Hollywood Life that doctors fear the worst.

“It does not look good. We don’t think Bobbi Kristina is going to pull through,” the source said.

While fears are continuing to grow, doctors have not said publicly if Bobbi Kristina Brown is brain dead, and her condition was officially listed as stable.

Hi,

I doubt you'll find many here who use Painter Essentials 2 or the current one, Painter Essentials 3.

I don't have any experience with Painter Essentials 2 so can't say how it's different from Painter Essentials 3 for which I do have the 30 day trial version installed.

Painter Essentials 3 and both Painter Classic 1 and Painter Classic 2 (the earlier lite versions of Painter based on full Painter versions Painter 5 and Painter 7) are all very limited compared to any full Painter version.

If you're serious about painting, I'd strongly suggest upgrading to Painter IX. Then you'll have the full range---

In 1953, he and the JI participated in a campaign against the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan. Anti-Ahmadi groups argued that the Ahmadiyya did not embrace Muhammad as the last prophet. Maududi as well as the traditionalist ulama of Pakistan wanted Ahmadi designated as non-Muslims, Ahmadis such as Muhammad Zafarullah Khan sacked from all high level government positions, and intermarriage between Ahmadis and other Muslims prohibited. The campaign generated riots in Lahore, leading to the deaths of at least 200 Ahmadis, and selective declaration of martial law.

Maududi was arrested by the military deployment headed by Lieutenant General Azam Khan and sentenced to death for his part in the agitation. However, the anti-Ahmadi campaign enjoyed much popular support, and strong public pressure ultimately convinced the governmentmine might have been a Callobius severus, which is a pretty common species in the Pacific Northwest.

where it is something you can understand

24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even if it is not a sudden death, but particularly if it is, you have to learn that your loved one is no longer here through your experiences of bumping up against the world in their absence. This means that grief and mourning focus not only on your feelings, but also upon your comprehending that your loved one has died and your ultimate making sense of that reality.

Each time you want and need to be with your loved one – to see, touch, hear, taste, or smell that person – and you are frustrated in your desire to do so, you “learn” once again that your loved one is dead. In acute grief, eachsignal problems, far more often they merely are part of the normal living with the loss of a beloved person.

Suggestions

Give yourself permission to have your reactions unfold without automatically thinking you are backsliding if you feel worse after feeling better.

Incorporate into your long-term view that your grief reactions can last longer than a year and that there will be times, long after you have stopped acutely grieving, that your grief reactions will temporarily be resurrected by events in life. This is a normal part of living with the loss of a loved one.

INSIGHT #9

It is a myth that healthy mourning means totally “letting go” of your lost loved one.

In our society, there is a curious social phenomenon. On the one hand, we have relationships with dead people all

1 Introduction
==============

In the last years, many theoretical and experimental studies have focused on the problem of describing the mechanism of protein folding [@jack; @Plax; @Fer; @Gianni; @compa; @Plax00; @Gar]. An important result was the development of empirical models that estimate protein folding kinetics and rates. The number of proteins under

of the course. In particular, the main lecturers consist of a software engineer and a roboticist and the teaching assistants are a graduate student in software engineering and a graduate student in mechanical engineering specializing. Diversity in background enables the teaching staff to better understand difficulties students would face in the course and address their needs.

Content {#subsec:content}
-------

Lecture topics for the course ensure balanced exposure to both software engineering and robotics. Software engineering lectures include concurrency, design patterns, modern software engineering tools, and software architecture in robotics. Robotics lectures are robot control and obstacle avoidance, localization and mapping, path planning, and object recognition. In addition, there is a lecture on Robot Operating System (ROS) [@bib:quigley-iros-2009], a popular middleware in robotics, and our robotics framework.

Assignments {#subsec:grading}
-----------

The course contains five assignments: an


70% of the solutions lacked parametrization. After we pointed out the mistake during the feedback phase, the occurrence dropped significantly.

\[fig:hardcoded\]

Hard-coded values and magic numbers were also prominent in the first assignment. During the feedback session, we recommended the students to introduce variables and use language support for *constants*. Fig. \[fig:hardcoded\] shows how the percentage of routines with hard-coded values changed over the assignments. There is a significant drop from the first to the second assignment in Eiffel.

\[fig:svn\]

Fig. \[fig:svn\] shows the SVN repository usage. As half of the students had never used any configuration management tool, the initial SVN usage was relatively low. The students who were familiar with SVN committed their incremental changes while those who were new made commits sporadically or not at all. After the first assignment, however,no answer with a short explanation. Last, the post-survey contained many other questions not reported in this paper, and the sheer number of question may have caused some students to provide only a brief response to each question.

Assignments {#assignments-2}
-----------

Quantitative analysis of the assignments using software quality metrics revealed that the students improved after the first assignment in some areas and remained the same in others. Among the five metrics we used for the analysis, percentage of comments and number of arguments per routine did not reveal much in terms of improvement of the students’ software engineering techniques. Parametrization, hard-code variables, and SVN usage showed that the students made a leap after the first assignment. Likely cause of improvement is the individual feedback session. After the first feedback session,


robotics setting requires more extensive research. To validate the results of this pilot study, we plan to continue our evaluation of the course in the subsequent offerings and collect data over a longer period. It would be especially interesting to understand the long-term effect of our course to computer science students and other students alike.

Modulation of growth hormone-releasing factor-induced release of growth hormone from bovine pituitary cells.
Growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor (GRF) at concentrations of 10(-12) through 10(-7) M for 6 hr linearly increased GH release (b1 = 10.4 +/- .3) from bovine anterior pituitary cells in culture. Maximum release of GH (262% above controls) occurred at 10(-7) M GRF. In contrast, GH release-inhibiting factor (SRIF) at 10(-12) through 10(-5) M had no effect on basal concentrations of GH. In a second experiment, as the proportion of SRIF relative to GRF increased, SRIF suppression of GRF-induced GH release from anterior pituitary cells increased. In a third experiment, anterior pituitary cells cultured in media containing fetal calf serum (FCS) were treated with cortisol (0 or 10 ng/ml media) for 24 hr before exposure to[Cephalic zoster with involvement of the 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th cranial nerves].
A case of cephalic zoster with involvement of the 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th left cranial nerves is described. The anatomopathological findings are surveyed. These show that lesions are often found in several areas of the nervous system. The pathogenesis of these forms is examined, with particular reference to the mechanism of involvement of several cranial nerves. It is felt that this is primarily due to reactivation of the virus in several ganglia.

His commitment to spreading the tradition notwithstanding, Wallace clearly recognizes all this, and it is to his credit that Heart of the Great Perfection gives us not just a stripped-down Dzogchen aimed solely at Westerners looking for an easy path but also a fully rounded version of the Great Perfection practiced by Tibetan masters, with its rich metaphors, gnostic metaphysics, vertiginous paradoxes, complex meditation instructions, and, yes, challenging cultural idiosyncrasies. How Dudjom Lingpa’s Pure Vision teachings will settle in the lives and imaginations of Western practitioners remains to be seen, but we are indebted to Wallace, and to those who inspired and assisteddepicts the factorial design structure

There are two main avenues of analytical methods that can be applied to such 'omics data; multivariate methods and mass univariate methods (see e.g. \[[@CR1], [@CR2]\]). Each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but in combination can elicit a great deal of insight into the underlying mechanisms that generated the data \[[@CR3]--[@CR7]\]. In this paper, we predominantly focus on the issues that arise in the latter methods, the mass-univariate approach, but would like to emphasise that these methods should add to the insight obtained from multivariate approaches rather than act as a replacement.

Mass univariate analysis {#Sec2}
------------------------

In contrast to multivariate approaches, mass univariate methods investigate each response variable independently. Although the covariance structure between response variables is not accounted for in such an analysis, this


the following, we present a general paradigm of analysis, through which we develop the theory behind two methods for incorporating a multiplicity correction within the general linear model framework. This is supported by a simulation study before demonstrating the methods on an application in lipidomics, where we investigate the biological understanding that can be gained from such an approach. We end with a discussion on the methods, highlighting current limitations and possible extensions.

Methods {#Sec5}
=======

Typically, linear models as defined in ([1](#Equ1){ref-type=""}) are used both to estimate the effects due to individual explanatory variables (or the interactions between two or more explanatory variables), and to test the statistical significance of these effects. For the analysis of a designed experiment, it is conventional to fit the saturated (or maximal) model, andinto non-trivial explanatory structures. **a** Option 1. Rank, filter, model (RFM). This approach first applies a multiplicity correction to the one-way ANOVA obtained from the saturated model to filter out non-significant responses and then applies a model selection step to obtain a response specific predictive model. **b** Option 2, Model, rank, filter (MRF). This approach first performs a model selection step to obtain a response specific predictive model, from which a one-way ANOVA is applied and corrected for multiplicity to filter out non-significant responses. **c** For the two-factor model in Eq. [5](#Equ5){ref-type=""} with a 3x4 factorial treatment structure and a replication of 3, this shows the relationship between the one-way ANOVA obtained from a saturated model (fixed variance ratio of 2 and associated significance value of 0.075 --


of reasons for not considering the third (see, for example, references and discussion in Chapter 8 of \[[@CR27]\]).

Since such a marginal assessment will be focussed on the statistical significance of individual model terms, multiplicity corrections should be applied before the predictive model selection. Consequently, for such marginal assessments, the RFM approach is more appropriate.

In contrast to the overall assessments of the previous section, it is now of interest to make multiple assessments for each response variable. For example, consider the subset of lipids found to have two significant main effects but no significant interaction (under RFM). The response variables can be ranked by the significance of the first factor (the variety effect) and also by the significance of the second factor (the salt effect). Unsurprisingly, these give very*p* explanatory terms, i.e. at the explanatory term level within an experiment.

The naïve approach might consider that for *p* explanatory terms over *R* response variables, a total of *R*×*p* tests are required. As such, a global multiplicity correction over this full set of *R*×*p* tests could be applied. However, this approach will be vastly over-conservative. Moreover, for all but the simplest form of correction, interpretation becomes difficult as each of the explanatory terms for a single response variable will be assessed at a different level of significance as, for example, under a Benjamini-Hochberg correction. This prevents the use of a model-based interpretation that combines statistical significance with biological relevance as in the examples above.

In orthogonal balanced designs, it is conceivable that controlling multiplicity for each explanatory term separately

Similarly, the force per unit area acting on the other side of plate 1 is given by where is again evaluated in the cavity between the plates but for the limit (see [Fig. 1](#pone-0053228-g001){ref-type="fig"}). The net force per unit area on plate 1 yields asUsing the Dirichlet boundary condition at the plates we obtainTo calculate the two-point correlation function of on the right-hand side of [Eq.

Finally, the amplitude due to resonant dissipation is shown as the green line in [Fig. 2](#pone-0053228-g002){ref-type="fig"}. Resonant dissipation is absent in the static case , i.e., , which implies . For large the amplitude is attenuated due to the diffusive nature of the medium as

Fluctuation-induced forces between moving objects are expected to occur for any medium exhibiting long-ranged correlations. However, as mentioned in the Introduction, for real fluids the model needs to be modified to take into account conservation of the order parameter and its convection with the transverse momentum current of the fluid, thus treating Casimir and hydrodynamic interactions on the same footing (corresponding to the critical dynamics of model H [@pone.0053228-Siggia1]); these effects are important and will modify the result forunderstood.

The integral over in [Eq. (25a)](#pone.0053228.e284){ref-type="disp-formula"} has two contributions. For the contribution involving , the contour integral can be closed in the upper complex -plane (thus avoiding the branch cut of ), where this term has no poles, so that the contribution from this term vanishes. Likewise, for the contribution involving , the contour integral can be closed in the lower complex -plane (avoiding the branch cut of ), where, in turn, this term has no poles. The single pole at in the lower complex -plane then yields the expression in [Eq.

At the end of April 2018 I had the great pleasure of travelling to Montreal to attend the CHI Conference and presented a late-breaking work poster about my current work. I had always wanted to visit Canada. So I got to kill two birds with one stone and visit Canada and present something at my first conference.

Considering this was my first conference I was slightly overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. The conference had over 3000 attendees and several concurrent tracks for presentations happening at the same time. At times it was difficult to decide which sessions to attend. At other times it meant leaving one session and navigating all the way to the other side of the conference venue to get to another

tried declaring has_fever method in Temperature class but it didn't work. It says "uninitialized constant Temperature::TEMP".
Is there something to improve this design?

A:

Make the base class meaningful
Right now you've declared Temperature as a base class, but all it really does is set up your two variables.  One way to utilize it more would be to assign a unit of some sort to the class (I've chosen Kelvin, but it could have been anything).
In my version, Temperature stores everything as Kelvin.  Any class that inherits from it only has to know how to convert back and forth to Kelvin (So Celsius<->Kelvin and Fahrenheit<->Kelvin).  Later, if I wanted to add operators to add/subtract/compare temperatures, since the base units are all kelvin, everything is easy.

revenue purposes. In the case of the U.S., and many other jurisdictions, there are simply not enough personnel and resources to check on even a tenth of the movements of controlled materials occurring at a given moment. Thus, potential irregularities in a movement will often not come to the attention of the government authorities until well after the time for effective intervention. Even with the more widespread use of tracking technologies that potentially allow the real-time monitoring of all vehicles engaged in controlled material movements, the mere availability of such data, of itself, complicates rather than simplifies the regulatory and enforcement challenges faced by government authorities.the spotted hyena on TV. Picture-wise it was totally boring, they just showed the guy and no hyena at all, but he had some interesting things to say after 17 years of studying hyena packs (so I really do think he is kind of an expert)1. In contrary to widespread belief, female hyenas do not have higher testosterone levels than other female mammals2.Their sometimes aggressive behaviour is therefore not testosterone-driven, but females work in teams and can always count on their female partner to support them, so it's easy to be aggressive if you win by numbers3.The more subordinate a male behaves, the more viable offspring he will produce. The whole mating business is up to the females, which will pick the nice and gentle guys. A macho

In meantime, I'll hold onto the aloofness of the silent type when I am next on a courting mission !

We investigated the reproductive outcomes of male and female mating tactics in the spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta, a female-dominated social carnivore with high maternal investment, an absence of paternal care and female control over copulation. Paternity was determined using microsatellite profiling of 236 offspring in 171 litters from three clans. We found little evidencein clusters. Furthermore, these clusters significantly differ from the known heterogeneous organization characteristic of eukaryotic gene distributions. We also identified regions of susceptibility that overlapped with clusters of DEG leading to the prioritization of candidate genes. Integration of genomic and transcriptional information is a powerful tool to dissect genetic susceptibility in complex multifactorial disorders like MS.

Resonant acoustic modes from ultrathin CdS colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) are probed under high pressure using low frequency Raman spectroscopy. In particular we focus on the characterization of the recently evidenced mass load effect that is responsible for a significant downshift of the NPL breathing frequency due to the inert mass of organic ligands. We show that a key parameter in the observation of the mass effect is whether the surrounding medium is able to support THz acoustic wave propagation, at a frequency close to that of the inorganic vibrating core. At low pressures, surface organic molecules show a single particle-like behavior and a strong mass effect is observed. Upon pressure loading the ligands are compacted together with

                   for the Southern District of Alabama
                       ________________________

                              (July 30, 2008)

Before BIRCH, DUBINA and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      The district court granted the Defendants' motion for summary judgment

(Doc. 80), and the Plaintiffappeals. The Plaintiff contends that the district court

erred in granting the Defendants summary judgment on the Plaintiff's Due Process

claim, and that the district court erred in granting the Defendants summary

judgment on the Equal Protection claim (Blue Br. at 1).

      The district court held that the Alabama Department of Mental Health and

Mental Retardation, a state agency, was not a "person" subject to suit under 42

U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1983. The Plaintiff does not challenge this holding on appeal.

Therefore, we address only the Plaintiff’s claims against the Defendants in their

individual capacities.

      Having considered the briefs and relevant parts of the record, we find no

reversible error. We conclude that the Defendants were due summary judgment on

the Due Process claim because, if


Polyethylene glycol interferes with protein molecular weight determinations by gel filtration.
Gel filtration studies on Sephadex G-75 demonstrate markedly increased elution volumes for proteins chromatographed with polyethylene glycol. As little as 5% (w/v) polyethylene glycol in the applied protein sample can reduce apparent molecular weight estimates by gel filtration as much as 55%. Furthermore, gel filtration columns equilibrated with polyethylene glycol are not size-separating columns. Consequently, caution must be exercised when performing and interpreting gel filtration studies of proteins previously treated or precipitated with polyethylene glycol.Data are available from the Quality Indicator Improvement Project Data Access for researchers who meet the criteria for access to confidential data.

Introduction {#sec005}
============

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common infectious disease and a major cause of hospitalization that places a heavy burden on health care systems.\[[@pone.0125284.ref001]\] In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) estimated that there were 38,000 hospitalizations per month due to pneumonia in 2011, which was twice the number of cases in 1996.\[[@pone.0125284.ref002]\] The economic burden of CAP on health care systems is expected to increase in aging societies

^a^Barthel\[[@pone.0125284.ref009]\] reported that CAP patients with high-risk profiles tend to increase treatment costs. Although that study analyzed CAP in adults in the US according to patient risk profiles, only age and comorbidities were included in the profiles. Our study is the first to assess hospitalization costs in adult CAP patients using a detailed patient profile that includes a pneumonia severity score and a patient ADL index.

Our study is also the first to report a dose-response relationship between the BI and LOS, although several studies have previously explored LOS prediction factors in pneumonia patients.\[[@pone.0125284.ref011]--[@pone.0125284.ref013]\] The BI was originally developed as a reliable measure of physical disability, mainly for patients with cerebrovascular diseases. However, Olga et al. \[[@pone.0125284.ref019]\] reported that lower BI scores were a predictive factor for short- and


corroborated our results.

Conclusions {#sec017}
===========

In this study of 30,041 CAP patients in Japan, we analyzed the patient profiles, procedures, and hospital characteristics that impact on hospitalization costs using Japanese administrative claims data incorporated with clinical data. Our results showed that pneumonia severity, physical disability, comorbidities, use of mechanical ventilation, and tube feeding had both direct and indirect effects on hospitalization costs. Furthermore, it showed that patient profiles had stronger indirect effects on hospitalization costs through LOS than direct effects. Our findings may have applications in supporting the more appropriate distribution of health care resources in the future.

Supporting Information {#sec018}

My source code is divided into three folders:

./Sources/Common contains 99% of our code and is common among iOS and tvOS
./Sources/iOS contains a handful of features that are only available on iOS. Specifically, iOS grants more flexibility in customizing the layout of a video player, so we have custom controls
./Sources/tvOS contains a handful of features that are only available on tvOS. Specifically, a paired-down collections of XIBs and .m files for the player controls

Within my project's Build Phases, I added a Run Script phase with the following script:
Run Script
UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER=${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-universal

if [ "true" == ${ALREADYINVOKED:-false} ]; then
    echo "RECURSION: Detected, stopping"
else
    export ALREADYINVOKED="true"

    # make sure the output directory exists
    mkdir -p "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}"


fat binary for framework: $FRAMEWORK_PATH"
            cp -r "${FRAMEWORK}" "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}/"
            lipo -create -output "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}/${BINARY_NAME}.framework/${BINARY_NAME}" "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-appletvsimulator/${FRAMEWORK_PATH}/${BINARY_NAME}" "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${FRAMEWORK_PATH}/${BINARY_NAME}"
        fi
    done

    # Step 4. Manually copy some files to the output dir
    cp -r "${SOURCE_ROOT}/Pods/GoogleAds-IMA-tvOS-SDK/GoogleInteractiveMediaAds.framework" "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}"
    cp "${SOURCE_ROOT}/generate-xamarin-bindings.py" "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}"

    # Step 5. Convenience step
    open "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}"
fi

This script is a modification of a similar script I found online. It basically does the following:

Build my project for a device (ARM processor) with bitcode embedded
Build my project for the simulator (x86 processor) with bitcode embedded
Use lipo to createa fat binary for my project
Iteratively use lipo to create fat binaries for all frameworks I depend on
Copy my framework and all frameworks I depend on to a "universal" output directory

You may also notice the generate-xamarin-bindings.py file. This can be pretty much ignored for my purposes. It just uses Objective Sharpie to automate the creation of Xamarin bindings, then fixes a handful of known bugs with JSONModel (variables defined as @property (retain, nonatomic, nullable) NSString <Optional> *test; will get pulled into the bindings as Optional test { get; set; } instead of string test { get; set; })
Beyond that, I can't recall what additional configurations and tweaks had to be made to all of the scripts, build settings, and config files - but if any questions arise I


is building the *-iOS versions. This seems to have no impact on the errors I'm seeing from the Apple Store, but it slows down my builds, creates extra files, and emits several warnings about implicit dependency detection finding two candidates. I don't know how to fix this.
Update 3
I've solved one of my issues!
So the strange binary that was appearing inside of my bundle was due to the VERSIONING_SYSTEM build setting being defaulted to apple-generic. The Apple Generic Versioning system creates a source file calls <ProjectName>_vers.c, compiles it, and then links this file against some libraries (I guess system libraries?)
It was this file which was causing my linker errors when I had OTHER_CFLAGS="-fembed-bitcode", since this binary was setting -bundle which is incompatible. By setting the versioning system to Noneagreements, employment contracts between a foreign state and its civil servants, diplomats or military personnel are not "commercial" transactions, since the employment of such personnel is intimately connected with the foreign state's formulation and execution of government policy.6

Other activities undertaken by a foreign state, although generally resembling conduct routinely engaged in by private parties, may also be labeled "governmental" and immune from suit under the FSIA.  For example, although private entities often rehabilitate buildings to serve as office space, a foreign state's remodelling and operation of a chancery building is not a "commercial" act, since the construction and operation of a diplomatic office are peculiarly sovereign activities.    MacArthur Area Citizens Ass'n v. Republic of Peru, 809 F.2d 918, 920 & n. 2 (D.C.Cir.1987).7


administrative proceeding serve as the exclusive avenue for resolution of claims disputes, nor would a private insurer be able to turn to general treasury funds, raised by taxes on the entire populace, in order to finance its operations.

23
We cannot accept Greece's arguments.  Its first contention, that the contract can only be viewed as one small part of the Greek government's fulfillment of its constitutional obligation to provide for the health of its people, is not persuasive.  This argument impermissibly departs from the "nature" of Greece's conduct, and instead focuses primary attention on the "purpose" for which Greece entered this particular agreement.  The purpose behind the defendants' execution of the kidney transplant contract is irrelevant to the immunity question.  Rather than look to the purposecontract specifically provided that claims for reimbursement were to be submitted to the Greek consulate in Chicago, and payments were to be made from an account at a local bank, which the contract specifically required the defendants to establish and maintain.  See Meadows v. Dominican Republic, 817 F.2d 517, 523 (9th Cir.)  (finding "direct effect" based on financial injury to American residents and fact that payments under contract to be collected in the United States), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 108 S.Ct. 486, 487, 98 L.Ed.2d 485 (1987).  Whether or not these considerations would be independently sufficient to establish "direct effects" jurisdiction, we have no doubt that, in the aggregate, these factors abundantly support jurisdiction under the third clause of section 1605(a)(2).

28
The defendants also suggest,


commercial activity having a "direct effect" in the United States.  The defendants are therefore not entitled to immunity under the FSIA.

The judgment of the district court is

 The MacArthur Area Citizens Association case can profitably be compared with Joseph v.

An international investigative group says it has identified a third suspect in connection with last year's poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter. The group says the man is a high-ranking officer in the GRU, Russia's military intelligence agency.

Denis Sergeev was born in the southeastern town of Usharal in Kazakhstan, according to Bellingcat's report. He allegedly served in the army before attending Moscow's Military Diplomatic Academy, a school once described as a GRU-KGB establishment by the CIA.

And under the name "Sergey Fedotov," Sergeev is accused of traveling to England in March 2018 with two other men suspected of being involved in the Novichok poisoning incident that

We tend to hear the same advice for living long and healthy lives over and over again: Eat well, exercise, don't smoke. But you know what we don't often hear? "Hey, you might consider moving to North Dakota." That's because most people don't realize that the state in which we live can, in fact, significantly impact our life expectancy—a reality brought to life by a fascinating new study.

For the study, social scientists at Syracuse University and University of Wyoming analyzed mortality rates for women in all 50 states. Their goal was to determine if differences in these rates across state lines occurred because of women's individual characteristics or because of the environment in which they lived.

The article discusses the debates surrounding the status of Pluto as a planet and gives background information into how a particular celestial body is classified as a planet. Such news related to space has become important for mains. Last year, UPSC had asked a question on Juno mission. Also, such small pieces of information is sometimes asked in mains like the 2013 question where they asked how storms are named.

Key demand of the question

The question expects us to explain first the criteria followed in classifying celestial objects as planets. Thereafter, we need to provide a brief context into the debates surrounding the status of Pluto as a planet, and explain why scientists are reconsidering the decision to downgrade Pluto as a planet.

Directive word

Discuss – This is an all-encompassingthe object that exerts the maximum gravitational pull within its orbit. Also explain what a dwarf planet is.

Explain the reasons why Pluto was no longer considered a planet – insufficient gravity of Pluto in comparison to Neptune – the reason why it got classified as a dwarf planet

Explain why some scientists are reopening the case of Pluto’s status – that the only work in history that used this rule to classify planets was an article by William Herschel in 1802. They also argue that this work was based on reasoning and observations that have since been disproved.

Conclusion – Explain the issues that might arise by challenging the classification done by IAU.


as there is no other mechanism for increasing the salt in pore water - the water trapped between the grains of sediment," said Xiaolong Geng, a postdoctoral fellow at NJIT and the principal author of the study, noting that the rates of evaporation - and salinity - are thus mainly determined by temperature and relative humidity, while tide and wave flows dilute a beach's salt content.

"Previous studies have identified seawater as the primary source of salinity in coastal aquifer systems, thereby concluding that seawater infiltration always increases pore-water salinity by seawater-groundwater mixing dynamics," said Michel Boufadel, director of the CNRDP, who is also an author of the study. "Based on what we learned, we think this finding should alter the way water management in coastal areas is conducted."

A British distribution company Revolver tried this also few months ago, and released their horror film Mum & Dadsimultaneously in cinemas, on DVD, as a download, and as VOD. One would think that since this has never been done before that the industry would be following with a great interest on how the new radical approach – which really tries to deliver a film day-and-date to all media distribution platforms – would work. But instead, the cinema association wrote an open letter and asked the

Hence, it is important to characterize it and to compare it to codes.

In this paper, we describe a method to measure the non-axisymmetric flux surface displacement using toroidally localized measurements and rigid rotating $n=2$ -field. A similar method has already been used in Refs. [@Tobias:2013a; @Tobias:2013b]. The kink response of DIII-D plasmas has been compared to IPEC calculations [@Park:2007]. We extended this method using forward modeling of the electron cyclotron radiation transport from Ref. [@Rathgeber:2013] and additional ray tracing, which provide the accuracy needed to study the kink response at the edge. To allow comparisons with 3D ideal equilibrium calculations from VMEC [@Hirshman:1986], we developed synthetic VMEC diagnostics. In case of synthetic diagnostics, we combined the forward modeling and the 3D equilibrium from VMEC. The amplitude of the


\rm{GHz}$ and an $600\ \rm{MHz}$ resulting in a spatial resolution of about $12\ \rm{mm}$. The 1D-profile system is calibrated absolutely [@Carli:1974; @Hartfuss:1997], whereas the system relies on a cross calibration.

The used system has 128 channels (red circles in Fig. \[fig:diags\]) with a temporal resolution of $200\ \rm{kHz}$ [@Classen:2010]. It was configured to cover the plasma edge using X2. It has 16 rows with a vertical spacing of $\approx 25\ \rm{mm}$ and 8 channels in each row. The frequency spacing is $800\ \rm{MHz}$, whereas is $700\ \rm{MHz}$. The resulting radial spatial resolution is around $15\ \rm{mm}$ at the edge. The advantage of is that the vertical distribution of the channels allows us to resolve poloidal structures. Because of a recent extension to a quasi 3D system [@Classen:2014], the toroidal angle betweenor rather the magnetic field line. Therefore, the are oblique and not perpendicular anymore, which enhances the Doppler-shift of the observed intensities. As a consequence, the position where the measured frequency fulfills the electron cyclotron resonance condition (cold resonance position) [@Bornatici:1983] is not a good approximation for the measurement position or rather the position of the observed intensity. The reason for this is that the cold resonance position does not account for kinetic effects like the relativistic mass increase and the Doppler-shift [@Hartfuss:1997]. This section describes the determination of the distribution of the observed intensity and its maximum is labelled as ’warm’ resonance position (’warm’ because kinetic effects are also included, see also Ref. [@Garstka:2001; @Marushchenko:2007]). The analysis in this section is done for a time-point prior to the onset, hence,


differ from not only in the optically thin region ($\tau_\omega<5$ for $\rho\rm{_{pol}}>1.0 $) but also in the optically thick region ($\tau_\omega>5$). This is more obvious for the system and shows that the classical approach [@Rathgeber:2013] is also not applicable to channels in the optically thick region. To avoid misinterpretation of the measurements, it is therefore required to perform the forward modeling for all channels.

Especially, the implementation of the ray tracing is important to determine accurate ($R, z$) values for the ’warm’ resonance position. This is illustrated in Fig. \[fig:ECEIpositions\], which shows ($R,z$) of the ’warm’ and the cold resonances. Remarkably, the majority of the channels in this configuration probe the pedestal region. The channels in the optically thick region measure electrons located in this region due to the Doppler-shift, whereasedge gradient region and a prescribed minimum $q$ above 1 to avoid an unstable helical plasma core in VMEC, respectively. For the pressure constraints, the pressure profile was determined at $t=3.2\ \rm{s}$ using various profile diagnostics like , , , etc. The contribution from the fast particles is not taken into account, but this is usually negligible in the pedestal [@Dunne:2012]. Because of the steep density and temperature profiles in the pedestal, the resulting bootstrap current causes a flattening in the $q$ profile (around $\rho_{pol} \approx 0.97$, $q \approx 5.4$ in Fig. \[fig:p\_q\]). Since VMEC only deals with nested flux surfaces, the is not considered and currents were excluded in the reconstruction of the input equilibrium. Moreover, the flux surfaces were truncated at $\rho\rm{_{pol}}\approx 0.9999$ to avoid the singularity of


2$ -field in the vacuum approximation has exclusively toroidal mode numbers of $n=2,6,10,\dots $. Additionally, the $n=6$ component is increased due to the aliasing effect from the $n=2$ perturbation using 8 saddle coils ($n\rm{_{aliasing}}=8 - 2$). However, ASDEX Upgrade has no $n=4$ component in the vacuum field spectra when applying an $n=2$ perturbation. In DIII-D, for example, this is not the case. It has 6 saddle coils in each row and the aliasing effect causes an $n=4$ component [@Haskey:2014]. The combination of Ampere’s law $\vec{j}=\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{B}$ and the plasma equilibrium $\nabla \vec{p}=\vec{j} \times \vec{B}$ introduces a non-linear ($\approx B^2$) behavior due to the plasma response. This non-linearity can lead to the appearance of additional toroidal mode numbers like $n=4,8,12,\dots$.

greatly influenced the standards of clinical and surgical ophthalmic care, not only to detect the disease but also to follow its progress. However, the aforementioned imaging modalities can only detect disease changes associated with nerve and retina damage and are unable to diagnose the earliest stages of POAG. Moreover, they are largely unable to elucidate the functional state of ocular tissues.

Two-photon microscopy (TPM) has found increasing use in laboratory-based biomedical imaging due to its subcellular resolution and its ability to obtain structural and functional information.^[@i1552-5783-57-7-3159-b09]^ In two-photon autofluorescence (TPAF), two photons interact simultaneously at the focal point to excite an endogenous biomolecular chromophore to generate a blue-shifted fluorescent photon.^[@i1552-5783-57-7-3159-b10],[@i1552-5783-57-7-3159-b11]^ Another two-photon nonlinear process is second-harmonic generation (SHG), which occurs only when photons interact with noncentrosymmetric macromolecular structures, suchvisualization. *Scale bar*: 30 μm in the *x-* and *y-*axes and 15 μm in the *z-*axis (the *z-*axis is dilated by a factor of 2).](i1552-5783-57-7-3159-f05){#i1552-5783-57-7-3159-f05}

of the dimensions of SC, CC, and AV of unfixed, fresh enucleated C57BL/6 mouse eyes at micron-level resolution. The measurements presented are likely to be close to the true sizes of the AOS structures, as they are taken from fresh tissue that has not experienced the distortions caused by fixation or histologic processing.

The data presented here support the proposal that spectral TPM is well suited to help resolve the question of how the distal AOS structures contribute to IOP regulation or dysregulation. Early studies in perfused human eyes stripped of TM and outer wall of SC demonstrated that the distal AOS contributes approximately 25% to the total IOP.^[@i1552-5783-57-7-3159-b37],[@i1552-5783-57-7-3159-b38]^ This was verified in perfused eyes that had surgical or laser ablation of the outer wall of SC, a processby Sonntag and Teichert [@CompHyp]. The [*competition hypergraph*]{} $C{\ensuremath{\mathcal{H}}}(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is a hypergraph without loops and multiple hyperedges such that the vertex set is the same as the vertex set of $D$ and $e \subset V(D)$ is a hyperedge if and only if $e$ contains at least two vertices and $e$ coincides with the in-neighborhood of some vertex $v$ in $D$. As we study the competition hypergraphs of digraphs, we assume that all hypergraphs considered in this paper have no loops and no multiple hyperedges. The notion of a competition hypergraph is considered as one of the important variants of competition graphs and significant results on this topic are being obtained (see [@PS:Hyper; @CompHyp; @Son2; @Son3; @Son4]). In this paper, we classify doubly partial orders

even though it is still waiting to hear from FEMA on funding to replace the hospital in Waterbury, Albert said.

Some of the layoffs will be in the therapeutic services department and include a movement therapist, an art therapist, and counselors who lead outside activities.

The Retreat is seeing more patients with acute needs who demand more intense care and Albert said the hospital had to decide where it would be able to cut services.

"We are not saying that the therapeutic services are not valuable, because they are, but when you have limited resources you have to make difficult decisions about where your resources should go," said Albert. "It is never a good time to do something like this. We looked at the numbers and projected forward and realized wewere not on a sustainable path. We hope that by realigning our resources we stand a better chance of going forward into the future."

Albert also points out that while the hospital has been profitable over the past two years, it typically sees only a small margin of less than 2 percent.

And the profit has come after about 10 years of losing money, Albert said.

All of this, on top of uncertainty in changes to health care, and a low Medicare reimbursement rate, forced the Retreat to make the cuts to its staff.

"Changes in how health care is delivered and reductions in government funding require that the Retreat continue to be flexible in how it organizes its services in order to deliver the best care possible to the people it
