Kotlin

The Kotlin plugin bundled with this preview has been updated to Kotlin 1.1 RC. If you haven’t been following the news around Kotlin 1.1, this is gonna be a big and important update for the language. Among many other things, it introduces coroutines – the new non-blocking asynchronous APIs, and full support for compilation to JavaScript. The latter means that you can use Kotlin strings, collections, sequences, arrays and other core APIs in your JavaScript apps.

The total synthesis of members of this natural-product family was then carried out to confirm their structure and biological activity. A key step in our short and efficient sequence was a late-stage oxidative cleavage reaction that was carried out in the absence of protecting groups to give the natural products directly. A comparison of the previously reported spectroscopic data associated with the natural products proved interesting.

This study was completed byyears ago by chemical spills a half-mile away at a dry-cleaning operation at the former Maryland Square Shopping Center, at Maryland Parkway and Twain Avenue. A dry-cleaning liquid known as perchloroethylene, or PCE, fortunately missed the valley’s drinking water. But the chemical bled into the groundwater, forming a plume over time that now stretches more than a mile long. The contaminated groundwater ranges from about 400 to 1,000 feet in width, and runs up to 70 feet deep in some areas. In some areas, PCE evaporated and turned into a gas, seeping into the air inside of homes.

Maryland Square is not alone. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection keeps tabs on 40 PCE contaminations from North Las Vegas to Henderson. In most cases, the agency is confident that


past the Boulevard mall, snaked below Paradise Palms and stopped just past the Las Vegas National Golf Club. Concentrations range from undetectable to about 11,000 parts per billion closest to the site of the spills. For reference, the maximum level for safe drinking water is 5 ppb, which also is the threshold at which NDEP takes action.

One Paradise Palms resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said the plume played a role in her family's recent decision to move.

The resident, who has a 5-month-old son, now has heightened concerns about the risks posed by PCE, even though indoor-air tests showed her home was safe and she knew about the plume when she moved in five years ago. “We’re moving just to be safe,” she said.

        Region $l$ is the loss function,$v$ is the vector of weights in a particular layer and $\left(\frac{\partial l}{\partial v}\right)_i = \frac{\partial l}{\partial v_i}$ and we use this value to determine which layers are most sensitive to quantization. When using this process, we will use more than the indicated number of bits in some layers, and less in others. We can reduce the impact of this effect with the use of Huffman encoding, see Section \[compression\_section\]; in any case, note that while the total number of points stays constant, allocating more points to a layer will increase bit complexity overall if the layer has a larger proportion of the weights.

Additional Experiments
----------------------

#### Distillation Loss versus Normal Loss.

One key question we are interested in is whether distillation loss is a consistently better metric when quantizing, compared to standard loss. We tested this for CIFAR-10, comparing the performance of quantized training with respect to each loss. At 2bit precision, the student converges to $67.22\%$ accuracy with normal loss, and to $82.40\%$ with distillation loss. At 4bit precision, the student converges to $86.01\%$ accuracyheuristics presented in Section \[heuristics\_diff\_quant\], we train with differentiable quantization the Smaller model 1 architecture specified in Section \[appendix:cifar10\_results\] on the cifar10 dataset. The same model is trained with different heuristics to provide a sense of how important they are; the experiments is performed with 2 and 4 bits.

Results suggests that when using 4 bits, the method is robust and works regardless. When using 2 bits, redistributing bits according to the gradient norm of the layers is absolutely essential for this method to work ; quantiles starting point also seem to provide an small improvement, while using distillation loss in this case does not seem to be crucial.

is asymptotically normally distributed, see subsection \[asymp\_normality\_section\] below. Clearly, we refer to the stochastic version, see Section \[uniform\_quant\].

#### Unbiasedness

We first start proving the unbiasedness of $\hat Q$;

$$E[\hat Q(\hat v)_i] = \frac{\lfloor \hat v_is\rfloor}{s} + \frac 1s E[\xi_i] = \frac{\lfloor \hat v_is\rfloor}{s} + \frac 1s (s\hat v_i - \lfloor \hat v_i s\rfloor) = \hat v_i$$

Then it is immediate that

$$E[Q(v)] = \alpha E\left[\hat Q\left(\frac {v-\beta}\alpha\right) \right]+ \beta = \alpha \frac{v-\beta}{\alpha} + \beta = v$$

#### Bounds on second and third moment

We will write out bounds on $\hat Q$; the analogous bounds on $Q$ are then straightforward. For convenience, let us call $\hat l_i =  \lfloor \hat v_is\rfloor$

$$\begin{aligned}
E[\hat Q(\hat v)_i^2] &=  \frac{\hat l_i^2}{s^2} + \frac 1{s^2} E[\xi_i^2] + 2\frac{\hat l_i}{s^2}E[\xi_i] = \\ &= \frac{\hat l_i^2}{s^2} + \frac 1{s^2} (s\hat v_inormality \[asymp\_normality\_section\]
--------------------------------------------------

Most of neural networks operations are scalar product computation. Therefore, the scalar product of the quantized weights and the inputs is an important quantity:

$$Q(v)^Tx = \sum_{i=1}^n Q(v_i) x_i$$

We already know from section \[math\_properties\_uniform\] that the quantization function is unbiased; hence we know that

$$\sum_{i=1}^n Q(v_i) x_i = \sum_{i=1}^n v_i x_i  + \varepsilon_n$$

with $\varepsilon_n$ is a zero-mean random variable. We will show that $\varepsilon_n$ tends in distribution to a normal random variable. To prove asymptotic normality, we will use a generalized version of the central limit theorem due to Lyapunov:

\[lyapunovCLT\] Let $\{X_1, X_2, \dots\}$ be a sequence of independent random variables, each with finite expected value $\mu_i$ and variance $\sigma_i^2$. Define $s_n^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n \sigma_i^2$. If, for some $\delta > 0$, the Lyapunov condition

$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{s_{n}^{2+\delta}} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \operatorname{E}\left[|X_{i} -

After reviewing a classified affidavit by the agency, the appeals ruled in favor of the CIA and upheld the lower court’s judgment. The court also agreed with the agency and said that there are no "segregable portions" of the documents which could be disclosed.

“The affidavit ‘amply demonstrates’ that the undisclosed information pertains to intelligence activities and foreign activities, and that disclosure could reasonably be expected to damage national security,” the appeals court said in its unanimous opinion, according to ABA Journal. “There was no need for the district court to conduct an in-camera review of the documents because CIA affidavits established that the records were properly classified.”

Initially, the CIA refused to even confirm the existence of the documents that the ACLU had been requesting, prompting the appealsproperties sell for about €6,000/sq. m. in Helsinki and €4,000/sq. m. across the country.

The medical literature supports the safety of TIV in young children.[@b5; @b6; @b7; @b8] Fever has been found to be a relatively common adverse event in the few prospective clinical trials that aim to determine the safety of TIV in children, with rates ranging from 10% to 40%.[@b9; @b10; @b11] Few studies large enough to accurately quantify the rate of uncommon potential adverse events, including febrile convulsions, following TIV administration have been published. A recent analysis from the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which relies on passive reports, found that in children less than 2 years of age, seizures of any type, although rare, were the most commonly reported serious adverse events.[@b6] A large population-based study from the USinfluenza vaccine.

The risk of other febrile reactions appeared to be consistent across batches of the adult Fluvax and Fluvax Junior products (data not shown). However, there was a significantly increased rate of febrile convulsions associated with Fluvax Junior (8.1 per 1000 doses (95% CI 5.6 to 11.8)) versus Fluvax (3.3 per 1000 doses (95% CI 2.4 to 4.6)): this was only partly explained by the fact that Fluvax Junior was used more frequently in children under 3 years of age, as the rate in children aged 3--4 years was also significantly elevated when compared to Fluvax. Although there was some variability in the risk of febrile convulsions across batches of Fluvax (but not for Fluvax Junior, as one batch dominated usage), this did not reach statistical significance (data not shown).

Unadjusted estimates of number of TIV doses given were 26 037 in 2008, 11 909 in 2009 (both derived from program data) and 11 243 in 2010 (derived from vaccine provider survey).

ICD-10 code R56.0 'febrile convulsion'. No febrile convulsions were recorded for children who had received monovalent H1N1 pandemicsome created *ad hoc* and requiring retrospective data collection. However, the strength of the statistical associations found, together with the consistency of findings using different data sources and the tight temporal association of the febrile convulsions with TIV (93% of cases having symptom onset within 12 h of vaccination), suggest the conclusions are robust. Reporting bias relating to the number of febrile convulsion cases being reported in 2010, or to Fluvax-related events in particular, cannot explain this finding as there was no communication to the public or the clinicians prior to the recognition of the association and the program\'s cessation.

This is the first report of an elevated rate of severe febrile reactions to TIV in children, and the biological mechanism has, to date, not been definitively identified despite an

Marquette County, Mich. – The family of an unarmed man who was gunned down by an officer on July 14 of this year plans to sue in federal court after prosecutors cleared the officer of any wrong doing.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting are extremely troubling. Auto mechanic Timothy Mitchell, 46, had gotten into a verbal dispute at an area auto dealership. A call was placed to 9-1-1 alleging that he was highly intoxicated.

A police chase ensued but was broken off due to high speeds. At a later point the officer saw Mitchell’s vehicle crashed on the roadside with Mitchell standing nearby.

The officer, Justin Schlabach, had a dashcam on his vehicle that was operational at the time, but allegedly his walk around microphone was not working atTherefore, it could be applied for primary identification of brain abnormalities and tumors with no need for medical interferences \[[@B2-brainsci-09-00231],[@B3-brainsci-09-00231]\]. Identifying these defects in a primary phase using machine learning techniques has several advantages. First, it helps doctors to confer an accurate diagnosis, allowing doctors to provide parents with an understanding of the disease in order to prepare them for dealing with the abnormality. Second, it helps in managing the pregnancy and problems that might occur during this period. Third, it improves the quality of diagnosis and aids the decision for the best suitable treatment plan \[[@B4-brainsci-09-00231]\].

Machine learning techniques make use of the ability of computers to train and learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning can be used for medical images to assist doctors with making accurate


to predict preterm defects. They also used an SVM classifier to detect autism. Similar work was done by Jin et al. \[[@B15-brainsci-09-00231]\] to identify infants with autism.

The key objective of this article is classifying between normal (healthy) and abnormal (unhealthy) brains. As it is clear from the previous two paragraphs, the work done in fetal brain classification is very limited. Most of the previous related research dealing with brain defect classification in a primary age have been for infants and preterm neonates. As stated before, the early detection of brain abnormalities is important as it helps in managing the pregnancy and problems that might occur during this period. It could also enhance the diagnosis process and follow up plans. Therefore, this article proposes a novel approach to identify[Figure 1](#brainsci-09-00231-f001){ref-type="fig"}a) is a fetal brain defect that affects the development of the septi pellucidi. It commonly occurs in association with other brain disorders \[[@B17-brainsci-09-00231],[@B18-brainsci-09-00231]\]. Dandy--Walker syndrome (shown in [Figure 1](#brainsci-09-00231-f001){ref-type="fig"}b) is a congenital malformation that affects the cerebellum, the third, and the fourth ventricles of the brain. It is characterized by partial or complete agenesis of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and the enlargement of the posterior fossa \[[@B19-brainsci-09-00231],[@B20-brainsci-09-00231]\]. Colpocephaly (shown in [Figure 1](#brainsci-09-00231-f001){ref-type="fig"}c) is a fetal brain abnormality in which the posterior of the lateral ventricles of the fetal brain are ballooned.

for extracting textural features, including the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the Gabor filter, and the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). These methods usually yield reasonable classification accuracy, especially when they are combined together \[[@B33-brainsci-09-00231],[@B34-brainsci-09-00231]\]. For this reason, they were used in this study to extract several subsets of features. These feature extraction methods are discussed in this section.

#### Gabor Filters

A Gabor filter is a popular filter which is used to extract textural descriptors by investigating the frequency domain of the image \[[@B35-brainsci-09-00231]\]. It uses a Gaussian kernel function modulated with a complex sinusoidal plane wave. Gabor filters have the ability to perform multi-resolution decomposition, which produces a different frequency and orientation representation, similar to that of the visual system of human beings. Gabor filters demonstrate the fine dissimilarities betweenwith mode periodization is employed as a wavelet basis function. After performing four level decompositions, the horizontal, approximate, diagonal n, and vertical coefficients of the 4th decomposing stage were extracted to form a feature subset.

#### Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM)

The GLCM algorithm is a popular method for extracting texture features from images \[[@B42-brainsci-09-00231]\]. It is applied to mine surface features, such as correlation, homogeneity, contrast, correlation, and energy, in the images. The features extracted are calculated using Equations (6)--(9). $$Contrast = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^{G - 1}n^{2}\left\{ {\sum\limits_{i}^{G}\sum\limits_{J}^{G}P\left( {i,j} \right)} \right\}~,~\left| {i - j} \right| = n~,$$ $$Correlation = ~\sum\limits_{i}^{G}\sum\limits_{j}^{G}\frac{\left\{ {i*j} \right\}*P\left( {i,j} \right) - \left\{ {\mu_{x}*\mu_{y}} \right\}}{\sigma_{x}*\sigma_{y}~},~~$$ $$Energy = ~\sum_{i}^{G - 1}\sum_{j}^{G - 1}\left( {P\left( {i,j} \right)} \right)^{2},$$ $$Homogeneity = ~\sum\limits_{i}^{G - 1}\sum\limits_{j}^{G - 1}\frac{P\left( {i,j} \right)}{1 + \left|


member of discriminants classifiers. It is similar to linear discriminant analysis (LDA). LDA uses a linear hyper-plane to distinct the data into two or more classes. LDA uses homogeneous variance-covariance matrices \[[@B49-brainsci-09-00231]\]. However, QDA uses nonlinear hyper-planes such as the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola to distinct the data, which are non-linearly separable into two or more classes \[[@B50-brainsci-09-00231]\]. It uses heterogeneous variance-covariance as well as LDA. In QDA, a different covariance matrix, $\Sigma_{k}$, is generated for each class label *C* of the data, assuming that the data has Gaussian distribution. The Classification rule for QDA is shown in Equation (19), $$C\left( x \right) = \arg~\max_{x}\delta_{x}\left( x \right),$$ where $\delta_{x}\left( x \right)$ is the quadratic discriminant function, which is defined in Equation (20). $$\delta_{x}\left( x \right) = - \frac{1}{2}\log\left|to classify fetal brain images. Therefore, we compared our results with the performance of such approaches for fetal, neonates, and preterm infants to validate and indicate that the performance of our method is competitive. The results are displayed in [Table 8](#brainsci-09-00231-t008){ref-type="table"}.

The proposed method has an *ACC* that ranges between 90.3% and 95.6%, which is higher than the *ACC* of the previous methods proposed for preterm and newborn infants \[[@B12-brainsci-09-00231],[@B13-brainsci-09-00231],[@B14-brainsci-09-00231],[@B15-brainsci-09-00231]\] and which achieved 80%, 84%, 71%, and 76%, respectively. The AUC of the proposed method is also higher than the 80% achieved by the method used for classifying fetal abnormalities \[[@B10-brainsci-09-00231]\]. The new approach presented in this article identified different brain deficiencies, unlike \[[@B12-brainsci-09-00231],[@B13-brainsci-09-00231],[@B14-brainsci-09-00231],[@B15-brainsci-09-00231]\] methods that were limited to the classification of only one type of defect for preterm


infants or newborns. Lastly, our new approach employed a larger number of MRI images compared to other approaches. Identifying fetal brain defects is a complicated task compared to scanning of newborns and preterm infants. Since scanning of fetal brains displays the head of the fetus along with the maternal parts of the mother and other surrounding fluids \[[@B7-brainsci-09-00231]\], our approach, therefore, has several strengths over other methods reported in the previous related work. First, it is considered to be simple and reliable. Second, the results showed that it works well on T2 weighted scans. Third, it is capable of classifying different GA and several brain deficiencies. Finally, our approach classifies the defect before the fetus is born.

4. Discussion {#sec4-brainsci-09-00231}
=============

The proposed framework is for the classification FBA. This frameworkconsists of five steps, as follows: Segmentation, enhancing the minor ROI image contrast, feature extraction, feature reduction, and classification. In the segmentation phase, the minor ROI was cropped semi-automatically from the remaining parts of the fetal images. Afterwards, the minor ROI images were improved by a mixture of contrast stretching methods. Next, in the feature extraction phase, six subsets of features were extracted. The first subset represents the horizontal, vertical, approximate, and diagonal coefficients of the 4th decomposing stage of the DWT. The second subset feature was extracted using Gabor filters. The third subset of features was extracted using the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and statistical features. The forth subset is a combination of features extracted from DWT, GLCM, and statistical features. The fifth subset is the GLCM


of these papers used a machine learning classifier for either predicting one type of abnormality after the birth of the infant (becoming a neonate), which is not similar to our case (we want to differentiate between several types of abnormalities and normal brains and we strive to classify fetal abnormality before the fetus is born), or to classify several abnormalities and achieve a classification accuracy limited to 80% (which is not very high, especially in medical applications). The datasets are not freely available online. Moreover, all the fetal brain datasets that are available online only include images of normal brains. The dataset used in our work is the only dataset that is free online and contains abnormal images.

Total RNA was extracted from peritoneal macrophages using a commercially available kit (QIAGEN; Hilden, Germany). The gene expressions were assessed by real-time RT-PCR using the TaqMan gene expression assay and a sequence detection system (ABI PRISM 7900, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), which used cDNA synthesized from isolated RNA samples to detect the expression of target genes, such as Lox-1; Mm00454586_m1, CD36; Mm01135198_ml, ACAT1; Mm00507463_ml, ABCA1; Mm00442646_ml, and ABCG1; Mm00437390_m1. TaqMan gene expression assays for mouse glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was purchased from Life Technologies. The levels of these gene expressions were normalized using GAPDH as an internal control.

To bring this rule into play our Court said there must be proof of three things: "(1) That the property described in the indictment was stolen, the mere fact of finding one man's property in another man's possession raising no presumption that the latter stole it; (2) that the property shown to have been possessed by accused was the stolen property; and (3) that the possession was recently after the larceny, since mere possession of stolen property raises no presumption of guilt.

Manpower and the future role of otolaryngology.
Much discussion has taken place in the past three years in the media and in Congress concerning the delivery of health care in the United States. Our concern is to supply manpower to deliver adequate health care, to train enough new specialists, and to encourage needed research. There is presently a debate among otolaryngologists as to the scope of their specialty. Some believe that family practitioners should receive some training in this specialty, be certified by our Board, and act as the primary otolaryngologists. The need for fully trained otolaryngologists would then be reduced radically. Otolaryngologists could be concentrated in the medical centers, where they would act as tertiary physicians. Others believe that better quality care would be delivered by fully trainedCity Council meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month at Seabrook City Hall, 1700 First Street.

We turn then to examine the statutory classification under the rational basis standard. The test of constitutionality is whether that statute has a rational relation to a legitimate state interest. Ohio Bureau of Employment Services v. Hodory, 431 U.S. 471, 489, 97 S.Ct. 1898, 52 L.Ed.2d 513 (1977); Nachtwey v. Doi, supra, 59 Haw. at 441-42, 583 P.2d at 959. As the United States Supreme Court said regarding the rational basis standard:

I can't stand having any coins of any type in an exchange and when I do send some it's not all my cache and WD as soon as my trades are done.

It's always a good idea is also using a reputable exchange.

Other studies also strengthen the significance of high sBP in the management of eclampsia [1,2]. Controversially we noticed in this study that the progressing disease of eclampsia significantly related to severe dBP ⩾105mmHg. This indicates that severe dBP are the important marker as for predicting serious organ involvements either in central nervous system or in other organs in the disease of preeclampsia/eclampsia.


list, 45 people have been included and 28 removed after either serving full prison terms or being released.

The victims of political repression include Yury Dmitriev, the head of Memorial's branch in the northern republic of Karelia. Dmitriev faces up to 15 years behind bars for allegedly involving his adoptive daughter in producing pornographic materials.

Memorial called for the release of the 117 prisoners, 25 of whom were added to the list for religious persecution. “There should be no political prisoners in Russia," Memorial said.

The Russian government labeled the human rights group a “foreign agent” last October in response to its criticism of the foreign agent law as politically oppressive.his party's choice due to principle, he persuaded enough Federalists to cast their votes for Jefferson.

What are the **criticisms** of the **electoral college?**

Detractors of the electoral college tend to be proponents of the popular vote, and often mention the fact that the electoral college can result in a president being elected, as in the election of 1824, with fewer popular and electoral votes than his opponent. Opponents also point to the risk of faithless electors, although there has never been an instance of a faithless elector changing the outcome

Which **book** of Jefferson's achieved **international attention?**

In 1781, Jefferson published _Notes on the State of Virginia,_ which included data on his home state of Virginia and his philosophies on good government. He also discussed the subject of slavery in two chapters of the book. He originally conceived of the book while drafting questions about his home state of Virginia from François Barbe-Marbois, the leader of a French delegation in Philadelphia. Jefferson realized that his answers to the French leader would make a fine book.

What was the name of **Jefferson's famous estate?**

In 1769, Jefferson began work on his estate, which he called Monticello, "small mountain" inof Virginia for Religious Freedom
And Father of the University of Virginia.

What famous **quote** by a **future president** showed great regard for the incredible **intellect of Jefferson?**

President John F. Kennedy told a group of forty-nine Nobel Peace Prize winners at the White House in 1962: "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Where does **Jefferson's visage commonly appear** in the United States?

Jefferson is one of four presidents to have their images displayed at Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The other three are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Jefferson also appears on the nickel coin and the

Moreover, although such conventional arterial filters provide a finer inner filter layer adjacent the coarse, large-pored external filter material, the desired orderly venting of gas often cannot be attained due to the presence of gaseous matter which may already have collected in the coarse outer filter layer. As a consequence, further agitation may be necessary to loosen and prevent any gaseous emboli from passing through the filter layers.gets an email there are 2 initial touch points: the inbox view where they see the ‘from name’ and the ‘subject line’ (plus the inbox snippet preview on the iPhone and Gmail etc.), then the email itself when they open the email.

long, but my o-scope shows clean I2C waveforms at the device end. At the RPi end, the waveforms are not quite as clean, but they seem good enough.
At the accelerometer, the I2C waveform is slightly rounded when the DAC is turned off (which is what you'd expect from high parasitic capacitance). When I turn the DAC on, those waveforms get crip and square. I would've expected the opposite to happen when I add a second device to the bus.
I took the RPi, DAC, accelerometer, and motor driver out of the machine for further testing. I disconnected the 24V power supply and 24V motor and left them in the machine. When I test the I2C devices now, I am unable to replicate any of the errors. It workscdecl; external av__util;

split dataframe by row number in R

This is probably really simple, but I can't find a solution:
df <- data.frame(replicate(10,sample(0:1,10,rep=TRUE)))

v <- c(3, 7)

is there an elegant way to split this dataframe in three elements (of a list) at the row number specified in v?

A:

Assuming that rows 1&2 goes in the first split, 3,4,5,6 in the second and 7 to nrow(df) goes in the last
 split(df, cumsum(1:nrow(df) %in% v))

but if 1:3 rows are in the first split, then comes 4:7, and in the third 8 to nrow(df)
  split(df, cumsum(c(TRUE,(1:nrow(df) %in% v)[-nrow(df)])) )

Or as @James mentioned in the comments,
  split(df, cumsum(1:nrow(df) %in% (v+1)))

A:

Another way:
split(df, findInterval(1:nrow(df), v))

For the alternative interpretation, you can use:
split(df, cut(1:nrow(df), unique(c(1, v, nrow(df))), include.lowest=TRUE))

better angular resolution due to a longer lever-arm or larger number of measurement points, respectively. We therefore estimate the resolution of each UL track by evaluating the likelihood space near the maximum [@till]. As the track zenith angle and azimuthal angle coordinates ($\theta$, $\phi$) move away from the best fit track values ($\hat{\theta}$, $\hat{\phi}$), the quantity $\log\mathcal{L}$ decreases parabolically from its maximum. The likelihood ratio $-2\cdot \log\big(\frac{\mathcal{L}(\theta, \phi)}{\mathcal{L}(\hat{\theta}, \hat{\phi})}\big)$ is evaluated on a grid of zenith and azimuthal angles near the best track, and the resulting values are fit to a paraboloid with the form $$-2\cdot \log\Big(\frac{\mathcal{L}(\theta, \phi)}{\mathcal{L}(\hat{\theta}, \hat{\phi})}\Big) =
\frac{x^2}{\sigma^2_x} + \frac{y^2}{\sigma^2_y},$$ where the $x$ and $y$ axes are fit and do not necessarily correspond to zenith and azimuthal angles. The two errors $\sigma_x$ and $\sigma_y$ areas a muon energy estimator, with a 1$\sigma$ uncertainty in $\log_{10} (E_{\mu}/GeV)$ of 0.65. Rather than measure event absolute energy, it is more relevant for a neutrino search to assess the compatibility of an event with expected astrophysical neutrino spectra, assumed to follow a power law. From simulations, we tabulate $N_{ch}$ probabilities for spectral indices $1 \le \gamma \le 4$ in bins of 0.01 and for atmospheric neutrinos [@bartol], shown in Fig. \[Fig:Edist\]. This table yields the probability of observing a given $N_{ch}$ value from a source with a power law energy spectrum relative to observing the value from background atmospheric neutrinos.

Maximum Likelihood Method
-------------------------

For a source with position $\vec x_s$, giving $n_s$ events against a background of $N-n_s$ events, the probability density is $$\frac{n_s}{N}\mathcal{S} + (1 - \frac{n_s}{N})\mathcal{B},$$


of objects by $\sim\sqrt{N}$ by combining $N$ sources of similar strength, with less improvement if one source is much stronger than average. We include five of eight sources and source candidates observed by Milagro with significance above 5$\sigma$ before considering trial factors, including four regions near Cygnus and one near the Equator. We add a hot spot near $\delta$ = 1$^{\circ}$, $\alpha$ = 19h [@abdothesis], which may be associated with a large neutrino flux if confirmed as a source [@kappes]. We exclude the three regions with pulsar-wind nebula counterparts, C3, C4, and the Crab Nebula, which are considered weaker candidates for significant hadron acceleration [@kappes].

Photosynthesis Design Principles Could Improve Solar Technology

Researchers from Yale University have identified natural design principles in photosynthesis that could improve energy efficiency in new solar technology.

In photosynthesis, green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen. It is a highly complex series of reactions, scientists say — reactions that researchers increasingly try to mimic when creating renewable energy alternatives, such as solar cells that use sunlight to synthesize fuels rather than to produce electricity.

One of the more intriguing features of photosynthesis, scientists say, is how it makes use of visible and infrared solar light. This is accomplished in natural photosynthetic systems by light-harvesting molecular frameworks — photosynthetic antennas — that trigger the quick removal of electrons from water to fix carbon dioxide.

Directions from the East:FROMReaching a consensus on Capitol Hill is a rare thing these days. So, when Congress successfully added numerous small business procurement reforms to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013, it was seen as something of a bipartisan coup.

But, it’s been 18 months since President Barack Obama signed the bill into law and small businesses are still waiting for the Small Business Administration to implement the NDAA reforms.

“Unfortunately, what should have been a bipartisan success story has soured due to inaction and inattention,” said Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House subcommittee on contracting and workforce. “A year-and-a-half later, the vast majority of these reforms remain unimplemented. And this is causing real harm to small businesses. We are are a society of laws. Our


growth.”

Small business struggle under conflicting guidance

One of the key areas of focus at Tuesday’s hearing was over conflicting guidance regarding subcontracting limits.

“In a much needed reform, the NDAA modified the Small Business Act to add a new provision relating to limitations on subcontracting for federal prime contracts awarded to small businesses under ‘set-aside’ programs,” said Angela B. Styles, a partner at Crowell & Moring LLP, in her written statement to the subcommittee.

SBA has yet to issue new regulations that are consistent with limitations on subcontracting statutory provisions introduced by the NDAA.

New contracts executed by the federal government today contain an old provision (FAR 52.219-14) that requires “at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred for personnel (is) expended for employees of” the small business prime14. The voltage HVP0 is a positive voltage. The transistor 22 is activated by the signal from the output of the voltage level shifter 20a, whose input is the input signal VINP0. The second voltage path has a PMOS transistor 24 connected between HVP1 and a diode 26 to the node 14. The voltage HVP1 is a positive voltage but is less positive than the voltage HVP0. The transistor 24 is activated by the signal from the output of the voltage level shifter 20b, whose input is the input signal VINP1. The third voltage path has a PMOS transistor 28 connected between ground and a diode 30 to the node 14. The transistor 28 is activated by the input signal VINPG. The level shifters 20a and 20b are

‘The Defense Department spent tens of billions of dollars developing and fielding these sensors and platforms, and the capabilities they offer are remarkable. Whenever a roadside bomb detonates in Iraq, the analysts can simply rewind the video feed to watch who planted it there, when they planted it, where they came from, and where they went. Unfortunately, most of the imagery analysis involves tedious work—people look at screens to count cars, individuals, or activities, and then type their counts into a PowerPoint presentation or Excel spreadsheet. Worse, most of the sensor data just disappears — it’s never looked at — even though the department has been hiring analysts as fast as it can for years… Plenty of higher-value analysis work will be available for theseOgarkov thought more deeply about how to develop the Pentagon’s own technologies than the Pentagon did, hampered by the normal problems that the operationalising of new ideas threatened established bureaucratic interests, including the Pentagon’s procurement system. These problems have continued. It is hard to overstate the scale of waste and corruption in the Pentagon’s horrific procurement system (see below).

China has studied this episode intensely. It has integrated lessons into their ‘anti-access / area denial’ (A2/AD) efforts to limit American power projection in East Asia. America’s response to A2/AD is the ‘Air-Sea Battle’ concept. As Marshal Ogarkov predicted in the 1970s the ‘revolution’ has evolved into opposing ‘reconnaissance-strike complexes’ facing each other with each side striving to deploy near-nuclear force using extremely precise conventional weapons from far away, all

There is some talk in London of ‘what if there is an AI arms race’ but there is already an AI/automation arms race between companies and between countries — it’s just that Europe is barely relevant to the cutting edge of it. Europe wants to be a world player but it has totally failed to generate anything approaching what is happening in coastal America and China. Brussels spends its time on posturing, publishing documents about ‘AI and trust’, whining, spreading fake news about fake news (while ignoring experts like Duncan Watts), trying to damage Silicon Valley companies ratherto western intelligence services before the end of the Cold War and has dispersed across the world.

These are all dangers already known to experts. But now we are throwing at these wobbling systems and flawed/overconfident thinking the development of AI/ML capabilities. This will exacerbate all these problems and make crises even faster, more confusing and more dangerous.

Yes, you’re right to ask ‘why don’t I read about this stuff in the mainstream media?’. There is very little media coverage of reports on things like nuclear safety and pretty much nobody with real power pays any attention to all this. If those at the apex of power don’t take nuclear safety seriously, why would you think they are on top of anything? Markets and science have done wondrous things but

While Mueller was putting man on the moon, MacNamara’s ‘Whizz Kids’ in the Pentagon, who took America into the Vietnam War, were dismantling the successful approach to systems management claiming that it was ‘wasteful’ and they could do it ‘more efficiently’. Their approach was a disaster and not just regarding Vietnam. The combination of certain definitions of ‘efficiency’ and new legal processes ensured that procurement was routinely over-budget, over-schedule, over-promising, and generated more and more scandals. Regardless of failure the MacNamara approach metastasised across the Pentagon. Incentives are so disastrously misaligned that almost every attempt at reform makes these problems worse and lawyers and lobbyists get richer. Of course, if lawmakers knew how the Manhattansurely if someone recently created something unarguably massively world-changing, like inventing the internet and personal computing, then everyone would pay attention, right? WRONG! I wrote this (2018) about the extraordinary ARPA-PARC episode, which created much of the ecosystem for interactive personal computing and the internet and provided a model for how to conduct high-risk-high-payoff technology research.

There is almost no research funded on ARPA-PARC principles worldwide. ARPA was deliberately made less like what it was like when it created the internet. The man most responsible for PARC’s success, Robert Taylor, was fired and the most effective team in the history of computing research was disbanded. XEROX notoriously could not overcome its internal incentive problems and let Steve Jobs and Bill Gates develop the ideas. Although politicians love giving speeches


systems could be improved. Humans can interrogate stored representations of their environment with counter-factual questions: how to instantiate this in machines? (Also economists, NB. Pearl’s statement that ‘I can hardly name a handful (<6) of economists who can answer even one causal question posed in ucla.in/2mhxKdO‘.)

In an interview he said this about self-aware robots:

‘If a machine does not have a model of reality, you cannot expect the machine to behave intelligently in that reality. The first step, one that will take place in maybe 10 years, is that conceptual models of reality will be programmed by humans. The next step will be that machines will postulate such models on their own and will verify and refine them based on empirical evidence. That is what happened to science; wecurrent experiment, AlphaGo Zero, probably cost about $10M.’ On the basis of the Manhattan Project costing ~1% of GDP, that gives ~$200 billion for one AI experiment. Given the growth rate, we could expect a $200B experiment in 5-6 years. ‘There is a range of estimates for how many floating point operations per second are required to simulate a human brain for one second. Those collected by AI Impacts have a median of 1018 FLOPS (corresponding roughly to a whole-brain simulation using Hodgkin-Huxley neurons)’. [NB. many experts think 1018 is off by orders of magnitude and it could easily be x1,000 or more higher.] ‘So for the shortest estimates … we have already reached enough compute to pass the human-childhood milestone.

We counted the number of NCDs for each respondent, and defined those with multimorbidity as the presence of two or more of the above listed conditions without a specific reference condition.

Respondents were asked about their utilisation of outpatient and inpatient services; whether or not they had any outpatient visit, and number of outpatient visits in the past 12 months; or any overnight hospital stay in the past three years, and number of overnight stays in hospital in the past 12 months. SAGE also collected information on how much respondents paid out-of-pocket for their last outpatient or inpatient visitin those aged 70+ years (AOR = 45.62, 95% CI = 27.39, 77.99). We observed the most dramatic rise in Russia where the prevalence of multimorbidity increased from 1.5% in 18--29 year olds to 66.2% in year those aged 70+ years. The prevalence of multimorbidity in the 70+ age group was 16.3% in Ghana, 29% in South Africa, 29.6% in Mexico, 30.4% in India, 38.0% in China and 66.2% in Russia ([Fig 1](#pone.0127199.g001){ref-type="fig"}). Overall, for the age 50 and above group, 26.8 percent of the population has multimorbidity.

the real DC Universe, well, here’s Future’s End.

Besides, why would any kids want a comic with Batman Beyond, a character who was on a cartoon that ran on Saturday mornings for three years, featured prominently on the cover? This is for grown-ups, nephew!

I worked in a comic book store for a while, and I know that while it doesn’t always result in new regular customers starting up pull lists and diving straight into the weekly titles, it is a showcase for potential new readers. People who hear about Free Comic Book Day do go to stores, and I imagine the fact that people who have never read a comic in their lives actually know who the Avengers and Batroc the Leaper are — and that they seem totaken every opportunity at reaching a mass market and used it to scream at the top of their lungs about how adult their comics are, and how they don’t have those goody two-shoes underwear perverts anymore, just killers and victims who happen to wear capes. If corporations are people, DC Comics is a 14 year-old trying to buy cigarettes while his voice cracks.

And look, I know I’m generalizing. That’s what makes it so frustrating. There are genuinely great DC books that are coming out right now, books that are compelling and honest and built on staying true to the characters while still making them compelling and exciting. I promise you that I could not possibly love what Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are doing with Batman: Zero Year


show us what you’re about,” they do this.

According to the credits page, Future’s End #0 was written and drawn by creators whose work I tend to enjoy — writers Brian Azzarello, Jeff lemire, Dan Jurgens and Keith Giffen, and artists Ethan Van Sciver, Patrick Zircher, Aaron Lopresti, Art Thibert, Jurgens, Mark Irwin, Jesus Merino and Dan Green — but it doesn’t actualy feel like it was written or drawn by individual creators. It feels like an illustrated corporate edict, the new issue of DC Comics, right down to the mandatory arm-severing.

Seriously, I cannot stress this enough and I don’t feel bad about spoiling it because it’s going to be free on Saturday: yet another arm is cut off in this book, and that is actually hilarious.

the relevance of these factors to human T cell cytokine production in vivo is unknown.

In this paper, we demonstrate that ECs expressing high levels of cell-associated IL-1α, like soluble IL-1, can selectively skew alloreactive CD4^+^ memory T cells toward production of IL-17 in vitro. More significantly, in a human--mouse chimeric model of memory T cell--mediated allograft artery rejection, graft-derived IL-1 enhances allogeneic T cell infiltration into the vessel intima, causing intimal expansion, and specifically promotes IL-17 production from infiltrating human T cells. IL-17, in turn, drives an inflammatory cascade that selectively promotes recruitment of CCR6^+^ T cells into rejecting artery allografts, principally through its actions on smooth muscle cells (SMCs). These observations identify a central role for IL-1 in modulating human T cell responses to allograft vasculature.

The ranges of values in the control group were 1--33 pg/ml (IFN-γ) and 1--10 pg/ml (IL-17) in D, and 301--645 pg/ml (IFN-γ), 5--128 pg/ml (IL-17), and 8--428 pg/ml (IL-5) in E.

To investigate which cells within an artery wall respond to IL-17 secreted by infiltrating T cells, we tested the ability of IL-17 to induce inflammatory responses in cultured human vascular cells. Treatment of cultured ECs with IL-17 slightly increased transcript expression of IL-6, CXCL8, and CCL20 but did not alter protein secretion of these mediators or induce adhesion molecule expression ([Fig. 5, A--C](#fig5){ref-type="fig"}). Thecell infiltration.

Elevated levels of IL-17 have been reported in several human autoimmune diseases; however, specific effects of human T cell production of IL-17 in vivo have yet to be reported. In the model of human artery graft rejection described in this paper, neutralization of IL-17 markedly reduces expression of certain proinflammatory molecules such as IL-6, IL-8, and CCL20 within the graft while leaving expression of CXCL10, an IFN-γ--inducible chemokine, unaffected. IL-6, CXCL8, and CCL20 are known IL-17--inducible genes ([@bib27]); however, the efficacy of IL-17 neutralization is somewhat surprising given that IL-17 is far less potent at inducing expression of these molecules than IL-1 or TNF (unpublished data). These data indicate that in the absence of other human leukocytes, allogeneic T cell--mediated induction of these acutely inflammatory transcripts requires


cells in the CCR6^+^/CXCR3^+^ population that produce both IL-17 and IFN-γ ([@bib25]). Interestingly, IL-1 blockade did not cause a similar specific reduction in CCR6 expression in rejecting artery grafts, which may suggest that a more complete inhibition of IL-17, as achieved with antibody neutralization of IL-17 compared with treatment with IL-1Ra, is required to affect subsequent CCR6^+^ T cell recruitment. IL-17--induced production of chemokines that recruit neutrophils (CXCL8) and DCs (CCL20) observed in the experiments presented in this paper would be expected to contribute to the rejection of human allografts; however, more complete human--mouse chimeric models that allow for the engraftment or development of human neutrophils and DCs will be required to further evaluate these effects.

The effects of neutralizing IL-17 on overall graft pathology are less than thosestained chips were read and analyzed with a GeneChip Scanner 3000 and expression console (Affymetrix). RNA levels were quantified, and gene-specific probe sets categorized as present or marginal were further analyzed, whereas those categorized as absent were excluded. Data analysis software (GeneSpring GX 7.3; Silicon Genetics) using the robust multiarray average was used for normalization and fold-change calculations. The microarray analyses were performed using three independent SMC lines. For the purposes of this study, genes encoding cytokines or chemokines that were regulated by IL-17 more than twofold relative to untreated controls were considered for further analysis. Microarray data have been deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus under accession no. [GSE11367](GSE11367).

Flow cytometric analysis.
-------------------------

For cell-surface expression of HLA-DR, ICAM-1, and E-selectin (Beckman Coulter), ECs or SMCs were collected by trypsinization,


when more than two groups were present. For in vitro alloreactivity analyses, the significance of fold changes calculated relative to the control group was evaluated using log-transformed values to allow for a normal distribution of the data. P \< 0.05 was considered significant.

Online supplemental material.

The online supplemental figures provide information on the differential ability of human allogeneic CD4^+^ T cells to induce IL-1α expression in human ECs and SMCs (Fig. S1), and the lack of effect of IL-1Ra and anti--IL-17A mAb on the adoptive transfer of human T cells into immunodeficient SCID/beige mice (Fig. S2). Table S1 lists all of the genes up- or down-regulated more than twofold by IL-17 in human smooth muscles, as detected by the Affymetrix microarray analysis.

“But for the CDA’s negligence and failure to train [Long] how to respond to an escalating situation with an Airline Passenger, [he] would not have acted in the manner he did, which resulted in his termination,” the lawsuit states, according to the Tribune.

Long further claims Commissioner Evans defamed him while speaking with the press and in tweets following the incident, citing examples in which she stated the actions of the officers were “completely inappropriate” and that those officers aren’t armed “for good reason.”

What do you want to know about me?

What can I tell you?? I am the other side of 50, Married to TOF (the old fella), we have two sons Max and Jak, two dogs, Oscar and Sheba, one cat called Biggy McBiggles or Big, a gorgeous Polydactyl kitten named ToeBee or Toes for short, and chickens of various sizes and breeds known as 'my girls.
I work part time so I can enjoy my love of second hand shopping, my garden and my passion for photography. I guess my blog is like a diary of my antics and you are more than welcome to comment or just secretly follow me. Hopefully you will enjoy what I have to share and get the odd laugh.it that way if they wanted to. If you didn't, then you could slide the heal only version onto your bar and never worry again.

While I realize to go back and change the code for every healing spell to this mechanic would be a pain, and in fact splitting them all would be time consuming when you reset your character. But what if we only changed the one spell -- Heal -- which is used more than the others. It could work this way for spells and for scrolls. It seems a simple and elegant fix.

There -- I feel better for putting my rant on "paper" - you may go back to waiting for the server to come up now

I'd love to see this change or something along

This is my last week at work and it has come to my attention that I never exactly clarified on what I’ve been doing for the past two months. To my defense, I wasn’t always sure about what I’ve been doing either.

This summer, I’ve been working as a research assistant in a cultural neuroscience lab at Pomona College. I can’t say much about it because


it’s a super top secret (not really) and most of the concepts are still beyond my comprehension, but to put it simply, our lab focuses on a psychological phenomenon called priming and how it relates to culture.

Most people know what culture is. Priming, however, is not as well-known, and Wikipedia does a pretty messy job of explaining it. Basically, priming deals with nonconscious memory through semantic stimuli. Psychology Today offers this example to describe priming: “A person who sees the word ‘yellow’ will be slightly faster to recognize the word ‘banana’ because yellow and banana are closely associated in memory.”

It gets a little more complicated after that but that’s the gist. Now, how does that relate to culture? Well, how could it not? Behavioral neuroscience has a roleabout something I have nothing to compare with, given my background. As mentioned, I’m in a regular yeshiva and (I hope) have regular, frum hashkafos.

I’ve heard so much about Modern Orthodox and my question just is how exactly are they different from regular orthodox? It seems to me that everything they do is compatible with halacha, and if it’s because they go to college and put a strong emphasis on work–whether you agree with them or not, there are a lot of regular orthodox “balabatim” who do the same thing and aren’t considered modern orthodox. Ditto for any laxness they might have in any area. A lot of “chareidi” people also do. It seems to me almost that the only difference there is is that they tend to


won’t do. If something is below our standards, we will not lower to it out of respect to those who are on those standards. We cannot let our children see people with standards that fall short of what we feel is required, and laugh it off by saying that ‘we are different’. And while we very much respect people for what they are, and understand that they are not necessarily lesser people just because they started off on a lesser note, accepting them with open arms is not necessarily an ideal option. And more to the point, agreeing and supporting the ideals is also wrong.

This happens to almost everybody on a degree, wherever you are on the spectrum. I have family members who are incredibly polite but won’tso it is easy for me to ‘become a Rabbi’ [his words]. He was born in an environment that made it totally impossible for him to do the same. He was very bothered that he wasn’t given an equal opportunity.

I told him two points:

(a) HKB”H wants different things from different people – it could be that his entire tafkid is to make that move to keep Shabbos or eat Kosher, and nobody expects him to be giving a Shiur to 300 people. Not everyone is supposed to be a ‘Rabbi’.

(b) More importantly, I told him that not only do I not look down on him for being who he is, but I respect him a lot more than most of my peers. Because HKB”H doesn’t give anybody a
