This event occurrence probability follows the same setting of development and test set provided by the challenge. The second one is for the training of R-CRNN, and the event occurrence probability is set to 0.99 to get more positive training samples.

Pre-training
------------

From the experience of computer vision community, training a region-based network for detection from scratch is very difficult. Previous works on visual object detection [@FastRCNN; @FRCNN] used weights pre-trained from image classification on ImageNet [@ImageNet] as the weight initialization for the feature extractor [@VGG; @ResNet] in region-based networks. In the pre-training, we pre-train the CRNN on a binary classification task usingmacroscopic topological features. If the control parameters of the random graph ensemble can be derived from sufficiently accurate and complete network data, it is in principle possible to calculate (asymptotically) explicit formulae for entropies and complexities, and for information-theoretic distances between network families.

In recent years there have been efforts to define and generate random graphs whose topological features can be controlled and tailored to experimentally observed networks. In Perez-Vicente and Coolen [@pone.0012083-PerezVicente1] a parameterised random graph ensemble was defined where graphs have not only a prescribed degree distribution but also prescribed degree correlations. We have recently been able to show [@pone.0012083-Annibale1] that this graph ensemble (described in [@pone.0012083-PerezVicente1]) can be tailored asymptotically to the generation of graphs with any prescribed degree distribution and any prescribed degree correlation function.


[Fig. 3](#pone-0012083-g003){ref-type="fig"}, where the *S. cerevisiae* X dataset is indeed distinguished by the presence of consistently high values of along the main diagonal, signalling a strong preference for interactions between nodes with similar degrees. The assortativities of the null models (in green) are expected to be closer to zero than those of the real PPINs. This is indeed true for most cases, although for some networks (*e.g. M. loti*, *P. falciparum*, *E. coli*, and *S. cerevisiae* VIII) the assortativity differences between the original networks and their null models are negligible. In sufficiently large networks, all correctly generated null models would exhibit zero assortativity, so any deviation of the green line from zero in [Fig. 4](#pone-0012083-g004){ref-type="fig"} must reflect finite size effects or effects caused by slow relaxation (see 'Definitionby a variety of different techniques.](pone.0012083.g006){#pone-0012083-g006}

We also observe that the full collection of PPINs group primarily by detection method, so at least for the presently available PPIN datasets, any biological similarities (whether or not based on evolutionary relationship) are overshadowed by methodological biases. This is particularly evident in the central subgroup (central pink leaves) in [Fig. 6A](#pone-0012083-g006){ref-type="fig"}, which clusters almost exclusively Y2H datasets and comprises a wide range of species. The methodological biases are also obvious in the intra-species comparison of *S. cerevisiae* depicted in [Fig. 6B](#pone-0012083-g006){ref-type="fig"}. The largest sub--group distance within this *S. cerevisiae* tree is the one between two AP--MS datasets that have been post--processed differently (the top two within the green box). Also, the single PCA network is separated from the AP--MS and Y2H subgroups.


and DDCs, and, based on macroscopic statistical features, it avoids the problems with the more primitive overlap-based network dissimilarity measures. Application of this second tool to our datasets resulted in a pairwise distance table, which we used to cluster the PPINs. The results, summarised in a dendrogram, are very revealing. Those data sets which were most strongly criticised in the past for having small overlaps, for example the Y2H data sets of *S. cerevisiae*, are now unambiguously found to be topologically similar. Furthermore, our method shows clearly that the PPINs group primarily by detection method, so biological similarities based on evolutionary relationship are presently overshadowed by methodological biases. These biases have been the centre of an active debate in recent years; the problems which they generate and methodswas tiny and on the brink of disappearance. In fact, this species is now probably extinct. Not because I collected a few individuals, but because its only population was located in a tiny patch of a native yellowwood forest within a massive pine plantation, a patch that was already being cut down to be replaced by more non-native trees grown for timber. Had I not collected a few specimens of this animal, we would have never known it existed. Now, at least its tombstone has a name – Paracilacris periclitatus, The Endangered Katydid.

counting to determine which is the correct one. The microscopic counting of these states is exact since it can be done in string perturbation theory. For the macroscopic analysis, one can use the ensemble proposed in [@Ooguri:2004zv] or in [@Sen:2005pu] with an appropriate measure . One then finds that the macroscopic entropy and the microscopic entropy are in striking agreement to all orders in an asymptotic expansion which is governed by the same associated Bessel function. Since the asymptotic expansion is determined entirely by the saddle point quantities, this comparison is independent of subtleties having to do with the choices of contours for inverse Laplace transform that enters the definition of the ensemble. It is nontrivial that the same associated Bessel function appears in the two analyses that$Spin(5)$         $Spin(5) \times Spin(3)$       $OSp(4^{*}|4)$

action admits an $\bf AdS_3$ solution $$\label{ecomp3}
ds_3^2 = L^2 \left[ e^2 (- r^2 dt^2 + r^{-2} dr^2) +
(dy + erdt)^2 \right]\, ,$$ where $L$ is an overall scale. We have written it in the form of a fiber bundle. The fiber is a circle with coordinate $y$ and the base is an $\bf AdS_2$ with coordinates $(r, t)$ so that $e$ can be viewed as a unit of charge associated with the Kaluza-Klein reduction along $y$. One can then show, both in the Euclidean action formalism [@Kraus:2005zm; @Kraus:2005vz; @Solodukhin:2005ah] as well as using Wald’s formula [@Saida:1999ec; @Sahoo:2006vz], that the entropy of the black hole with near horizon geometry described in (\[ecomp3\]) has the form: \[ecomp8\] S\_[BH]{} &&= 2 Q>0 ,\
&&= 2 Q <0 , where $Q$ is theconstruction of the worldsheet.

Many of these confusing issues are neatly resolved by looking at the holograms that we expect for this system. We therefore turn next to the hologram for some guidance about the structure of various symmetries.

The Fundamental Superstring as a Hologram \[Hologram\]
======================================================

There is a simple way to realize all the required symmetries expected for the near horizon of a small black string using a free field representation which is furnished by the worldsheet of a toroidally compactified Green-Schwarz *macroscopic* superstring in a particular light-cone like gauge. For our purposes, this specific free field representation is not only simple but will have a direct physical interpretation as the boundary hologram. It is an instructive exercise to work out this representation in some detail. In particular, it will


and $m=4,..8$ are vector indices under $SO(3)$ and $SO(5)$. The eight supercurrents $(Q_{a \a})_{s}$ obey the pseudo-Majorana condition $(Q_{a \a})^{*} = - Q^{a \a}$ with the opposite sign compared to the spinors $S^{a\a}$.

Since the rotational symmetry is broken only by some global identifications of the bosonic coordinates, the commutation relations for symmetry generators in the $d=3$ case are closely related to the $d=8$ case discussed in $\S{\ref{Hologram}}$. One needs to simply decompose the $Spin(8)$ indices in terms of $Spin(3) \times Spin(5)$ indices as above, to rewrite the commutation relations such as (\[GG\]) or (\[JQ\]) appropriately for the $d=3$ case.

From these commutation relations of the symmetries of the hologram, we expect the near horizon theory to have $Virasoro \times Virasoro$ symmetry. The hologram also instructs us that there shouldcentral charge $$\label{centralwzw}
    c = \frac{3 k_b}{k_b -2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{6}{k}.$$ Given such a super-affine $SL(2, {\mathbb{R}})$ algebra in the bulk, there is an elegant construction due to Giveon, Kutasov, and Seiberg to obtain the boundary Virasoro algebra which has central charge $$\label{cb}
    c_R = 6 kp,$$ where the integer $p$ naturally enters to be identified with the winding number. Since we want to identify it with the right-moving transverse superstring which has central charge $12p$, we are forced to the choice $k=2$ if we want agreement with the physical Wald entropy. The central charge of the $SL(2, {\mathbb{R}})$ factor for $k=2$ is thus $15/2$ from (\[centralwzw\]). In addition, to account for the $\bf T^5$ factor, we must have


side, $\kappa = 4$ and $c=24 p$. The central charges are then simply $c= 6 \kappa p$; with $\kappa =2$ and $\kappa=4$ for the supersymmetric and heterotic sides. As was noted in [@Giveon:2006pr], this is consistent with the fact that the level of the supersymmetric coset and the bosonic coset are $k=2$ and $k_{B}=k+2$ for the two theories. The interpretation of this fact in [@Giveon:2006pr] was in terms of a “thermodynamic” entropy wherein the cigar angular variable is the Euclidean time in a finite temperature theory. It is not very clear what such an interpretation means when the radius of the circle[^28] on the left and the right are not equal like in the heterotic case above.

The microscopic computation of the entropy above follows from the central chargerotations. Fortunately, precisely for $k=2$, the $U(1)$ boson in $(\ref{target3})$ is at the free fermion radius and it is then possible to construct the $Spin(3)$ currents using this fact. All global symmetries expected for the horizon of a black hole and independently from the boundary hologram can be constructed from the bulk theory. Similarly, for the heterotic string, the boson is at the self dual radius which makes it possible to recover all the symmetries.

5.  One also expects $Spin(3)$ affine currents from the bulk corresponding to $K^{ij}_n$ in the hologram. The symmetry currents can be constructed from the bulk but one finds that the commutation relations with the Virasoro generators are unusual and are not what one might expect for the modes of a conformal dimension one


Following standard convention, $\CN =(0, 4)$ supersymmetry in two dimensions has four usual right-moving supersymmetries. Together with the four additional superconformal symmetries, it has a total of eight global supercharges.

[^9]: A gauge-fixing of this kind was discussed in [@Kanitscheider:2006zf]. We thank Kostas Skenderis for bringing this to our attention.

[^10]: For a singly would string the central charge would be $12$ but multiple winding is equivalent to having $p$ species and hence the central charge becomes $12p$.

[^11]: There is still a rotation of the bosons $X^{1,2,3}$ but this is not the physical angular momentum that the string has in the usual light cone gauge which rotates both the bosons and fermions.

We report the development of a new technique for label-free microarray readout based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In doing so, an investigation on optimized SERS substrates for the application to in situ microorganism analysis by Raman microscopy was carried out. Chemically synthesized nanoparticles were successfully applied to an immunoassay for label-free detection of single microorganisms. In this way, species specific, reproducible, and strong SERS spectra were collected from different bacteria immobilized on a chip. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of the microorganisms was performed using Raman mapping. Unlike conventional SERS detection of bacteria, which requires dehydration prior to analysis, our system enables us to detect and quantify microorganisms in an aqueous environment in situ.

“We can teach players how to be better football players but we can’t teach character.” ~ Baltimore Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti

Steve Bisciotti once shared this opinion with us on the set of Ravens Rap in Ocean City, Maryland. It’s a belief that has merit yet it is debatable.

People can change. Players can change.

Perhaps character can’t be taught per se, but through experience and maturation players can become better people and consequently better teammates who are less disruptive. In some cases once troubled players can develop into a positive influence in the locker room and even in the community.

Players like Michael Irvin, Cris Carter and Brandon Marshall come to mind.

That said, Bisciotti’s opinions on character will certainly influence futurecompany. It isn’t measured in anniversaries, dollars, or the size of our company. It represents why we love doing what we’re doing, and unfortunately, for confidentiality’s sake, I can’t give you details. I’ll refer to our customer as Paul, though that is not his real name.

There is also tremendous admiration and respect for her in her party because she does not play petty politics. There are no instances where she has sacked chief ministers as her mother-in-law then prime minister Indira Gandhi did so frequently.

On all issues of concern to the Congress, she has listened to the party's varied voices. A senior journalist who has extensively covered her ascension to power points out, "She doesn't play petty politics with party leaders."

Non-Congress politicians find her amazingly successful in providing leadership to her party, if not to the country. She has become the classic case, perhaps worthy of study at management schools, onread on India's strategic issues, also on genome technology, even on the future of the Internet.

Current conflicts in the Congress party indicate that Sonia Gandhi's hold over the party is becoming less firm. Many leaders are afraid that the eventual transfer of power will make them redundant in the party's power system.

The leaders around Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh may not be around when Rahul calls the shots.

The Congress party's old guard is unlikely to walk quietly into the political sunset, without putting up a fight to retain control over the party and over the government if a transfer of power occurs during this government's tenure.

“We don’t make predictions about where the market is going,” she said. “Our role is prevention and making sure banks are prepared for the unexpected.”

Any predictions that point to declining delinquencies and improving credit scores as proof borrowers are at less risk are not particularly reliable, she warned, as they’re considered lagging indicators that can rapidly deteriorate if credit conditions worsen.

Also, she noted that “averages” don’t take into account the fact some borrowers are at higher risk than others.

Ghassan Tueni hated honorific titles, telling us not to refer to him as "Your Excellency" although he had served as cabinet minister and ambassador to the United Nations between 1977 and 1982. Earlier during college, now-AUB Trustee Abdulsalam Haykal (then president of the Syrian Students Club at AUB) had emailed Tueni, to confirm a piece of news that appeared in a Syrian media outlet about Tueni ancestors hailing from modern day Syria. Tueni wrote back affirming the fact, with a detail that his family found home in the Hawran province in Syria and originally came from Yemen. He added that he was proud of his Syrian heritage, agreeinga sample of 2923 older Medicare managed care enrollees, respondents with low or marginal health literacy skills had worse physical function, experienced more difficulties with activities of daily living and reported more limitations in physical activity.[@R20] There is also cross-sectional evidence to suggest the relationship between health literacy and health outcomes is at least partially explained by cognitive ability.[@R18] [@R21] [@R22] Longitudinal studies are needed to test whether decline in physical function over time is more pronounced among people with lower health literacy, and whether this relationship can be explained by cognitive function.

This study investigated the association between health literacy and a meaningful decline in physical function among a cohort of community-dwelling older American adults. It was hypothesised that people with marginal and low health literacy would be


needed by older adults to function in the healthcare system because it fails to consider lifelong learning and age-related declines in cognitive ability.[@R34] While health literacy screening in clinical practice is not recommended because of a poor evidence base,[@R35] heightened awareness of the prevalence of patients with low health literacy skills among clinicians may help them to meet the needs of their patients.

In exploratory analyses, health literacy attenuated the relationship between black race and decline in physical function. This supports a growing number of studies indicating that health literacy may be a key mediator of racial disparities.[@R36] [@R37] It is recommend that researchers undertake similar analyses to investigate this phenomenon. This finding raises the possibility that if barriers to appropriate health self-management were reduced for low health literacythis Alinskyite playbook to ascend to power, and damn, they were good at using it. One of their pols, or media stars would say something, often perfectly false, and voila! the media, and their fellow Democratic Party pols would echo it and repeat it so much, it would literally become true in the minds of the majority of the public. The ideas that Republicans were racist, or against science, or had brazenly ruined the environment, are great examples of what they accomplished.

Now, the echo chamber is losing its power. The tricks the left used to nominate and elect a man who literally had no business running for any office -- that's President Obama, who had no qualifications for the office - no longer work. These same tricks were

Please help
P.S. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you link to the site as it's on a local server.

A:

Ok, guys. I managed to fix it. Probably not the best fix in the world but better than nothing.
So what I did was forced minimum zoom by using viewport minimum-scale=0.6.
No bottom gap after this fix.

others are a little bit more thoughtful about how they want to think about that. It's hard for us to promise, I'll just make something up, 20 titles a month from now on, because it really depends on the publisher enabling us to release those titles. Certainly we want to release a set of titles on a regular basis that customers are asking for, that can provide value to them. Jez: What are the current plans for Smartglass?

Doping-Induced Hydrogen-Bond Engineering in Polymeric Carbon Nitride To Significantly Boost the Photocatalytic H2 Evolution Performance.
Unlike graphene, graphitic carbon nitride (CN) polymer contains a weak hydrogen bond and van der Waals (vdWs) interactions besides a strong covalent bond, which controls its final morphology and functionality. Herein, we propose a novel strategy, hydrogen-bond engineering, to tune hydrogen bonds in polymeric CN through nonmetal codoping. Incorporation of B and P dopants breaks partial hydrogen bonds within the layers and simultaneously weakens the vdWs interaction between neighboring layers, resulting in ultrathin codoped CN nanosheets. The two-dimensional structure of the ultrathin sheet, broken hydrogen bonds, and incorporated dopants endow them with efficient visible light harvesting, improved charge separation, and increased active edge sites that synergistically enhance the photocatalytic activity of doped CN. Specifically,been tested in several studies each.[@b18-nss-9-097]--[@b20-nss-9-097] The outcomes are similar to a pattern commonly observed in trials of prescription hypnotics, in that subjective sleep improvements often exceeded the objective improvements. For example, a recent meta-analysis of 18 randomized control trials (RCTs) of valerian for insomnia found little objective improvement, despite clear subjective benefit.[@b21-nss-9-097]

Recent reviews of the broader field of CAM therapy also report heterogeneous findings and emphasize methodological challenges.[@b22-nss-9-097],[@b23-nss-9-097] Despite these uncertainties, many adults turn to CAM remedies,[@b24-nss-9-097],[@b25-nss-9-097] with over one-third of adults reporting CAM use.[@b26-nss-9-097] Epidemiological surveys indicate that the use of CAM is common among those with insomnia[@b27-nss-9-097] (\~5% reporting such use in 2002 National Health Interview Survey) as well as other systemic disorders that may be associated with disturbed sleep such as neurological conditions[@b28-nss-9-097] (44%


risk concerns have been raised for many supplements.[@b37-nss-9-097],[@b38-nss-9-097] The six sources we assessed often included general suggestions and cautions regarding uncertainties surrounding the preparations, such as purity and standardization. Strikingly, a recent report indicated that the majority of herbal remedies sampled had contamination, substitution, or use of fillers not indicated in the labeling.[@b39-nss-9-097]

[Figures S1](#SD1-nss-9-097){ref-type="supplementary-material"} and [S2](#SD2-nss-9-097){ref-type="supplementary-material"} contain adverse event listings from the PDR for Herbal Medicines and UpToDate. Because the safety of these agents has not been studied with rigor, the absence of reported risks should not be interpreted as a demonstration of safety. Many cautioned against use in pregnancy. Several remedies in the UpToDate listing for hepatic injury (often transient, but can be severe) are found in [Figure 2](#f2-nss-9-097){ref-type="fig"}: valerian, mistletoe, skullcap, and kava. Some common remediesthe method to generalize. It does not preclude individuals tracking other details, akin to secondary or exploratory aims in a clinical trial.

2.  The diary tracking feeds directly into the process. By linking diary tracking results directly with patient-driven decisions using basic statistical methods, the effort of self-tracking feeds directly into guided but flexible decision making.

3.  There is no requirement for baseline diary pattern tracking, because the outcome is purely "goal" focused, rather than the typical clinical trial approach of showing a significant difference from pretreatment baseline values.

4.  The method mitigates the risk of reacting to a single night, intuitively paralleling how we could not judge the fairness of a coin based on one toss. Instead of responding to "noise" of individual nights, it provides a


context for patients to embrace their own nightly variability so it no longer represents a fear of uncertainty.

5.  The results are by definition assured to be relevant to the individual. In this way, we can reconcile the realities of response heterogeneity in a chronic disease with highly individualized causes, contributors, and treatment goals.

Disadvantages of the method are also recognized. That the outcomes of sleep are forced into a simplified binary answer may strike some individuals as oversimplified in that they cannot comfortably render their complex issue into such a categorization. Certainly, multifactor outcomes can be modeled but require larger self-testing durations to analyze in this manner (akin to the standard practice of defining one outcome, often a composite outcome, in clinical trials, to establish trial power). Further,we recognize that the process does not engage any placebo role. However, the costs and infrastructure required to conduct placebo-controlled testing, which necessarily involves research protocols rather than routine clinical practice, are circumvented. Additionally, the individual's goals of therapy may not involve statistical proof of difference from placebo or statistical proof of difference from baseline -- the two major goals of prospective randomized trials. Finally, the results of any individual's testing may not generalize beyond that individual. However, combining individualized results can inform future population tudies, and a meta-analysis of n-of-1 trials, for example, has been reported.[@b33-nss-9-097]

Q:

rename multiple files shell in Linux

I have a number of files such as file_022.bmp, file_023.bmp...file_0680.bmp. I need to rename these to something a little bit more convenient such as file_1.bmp, file_2.bmp...file_658.bmp.
Is there a bash script that I could write to do this for me? Thanks for the help and advice.

You need to have flowing air. There are a couple of reasons why you should do this. This includes getting rid of all the chemical fumes from the cleaning solution, lowers condensation, helps prevent mold growth, and get rid of stale air.

Make it Enjoyable

Keep in mind that there’s an element of fun in every task that needs to be done. You can make a task a game if you find the fun.

The health advantages of spring cleaning your house aren’t just physical. It can also help improve your mental health.

The easiest way to make this enjoyable is to throw some music.

Work from Top to Bottom

Whenever you’re cleaning, you’ve got to work from top to bottom. Begin with


the highest areas in the room and work your way to the bottom.

De-Clutter

The first step to any effective spring cleaning is de-cluttering. You should be merciless with items that you have not utilized in a while. You can donate any item that you do not need. If you want to make some cash, you can also start a garage sale.

Prepare the Tools

You need to have well-stocked tools before you can start spring cleaning. A cleaning kit does not have to be heavy-duty cleaning products. You also have to choose eco-friendly ones such as Borax, Lemon, Vinegar, and Baking Soda to make your home clean.of the boundary theory is spontaneously broken and the system becomes superconducting.

In the following section, we analyze the planes $(T,{\sf x})$, $(T,B)$ and $(B,{\sf x})$ separately, and then construct the full phase diagram by using the above defined mapping from the $(T_{\sf eff},B_{\sf eff})$ plane into the $(T,B,{\sf x})$ space.

The superconducting instability {#sec:Instability}
===============================

Finite temperature and doping, and vanishing magnetic field {#sec:FiniteTemperatureInstability}
-----------------------------------------------------------

In the case of vanishing magnetic field, equations - decouple and the equation for $X$ can be solved trivially with a constant profile. The numerical solution of the equation for $Z$ leads to a superconducting region in the plane $(T,{\sf x})$. As described in [@Kiritsis2016HolographicSuperconductivity], depending on the values of parameters $m$, $q$ and $\bar q$, different sorts of phase diagrams corresponding to different sorts of phenomenology are


discrete values of $q_{\sf eff}$ and $m$.

Depending on the values of $q_{\sf eff}$ and $m$, a superconducting region may exist or not. For the cases in which it does exist, the phase diagram is generically as the one depicted in Fig.\[fig:generic-johnson\].

![Generic phase diagram in the $(T,B)$ plane.[]{data-label="fig:generic-johnson"}](TB-generic.pdf)

Vanishing temperature, and finite magnetic field and doping {#sec:ZeroTemperatureInstability}
-----------------------------------------------------------

When the Beckenstein-Hawking temperature of the black hole vanishes, the metric has a near horizon expansion with the form $$ds^2= \alpha^2L^2_{(2)}\left(-\frac{1}{\zeta^2} dt^2+dx^2+dy^2\right)
+
\frac{L^2_{(2)}}{\zeta^2}d\zeta^2
\label{eq:MetricNearHorizon}$$ Where we defined $\sqrt{6}(z-1)=1/\zeta$. This corresponds to an $AdS_2\times \mathbb{R}^2$ geometry, with $AdS_2$ radius given by $L_{(2)}=L/\sqrt{6}$.

The scalar equations - in this limit reduce to $$\begin{aligned}
&&
\zeta^2Z''

m_{(2)}^2
L_{(2)}^2Z = 0 \,,

\label{eq:KleinGordonSeparatedNearHorizonX}\end{aligned}$$ where now the prime denotes a derivative with respect to $\zeta$. Equation corresponds to that of a$m^2$. Varying the value of ${\sf y}$ deforms the superconducting region for $B>0$, but do not change the range of doping in which the system is superconductor.

Following [@Kiritsis2016HolographicSuperconductivity], we have adopted the quotient of the chemical potential of the two U(1) currents as a definition of a doping-like variable [x]{}. In this holographic model the two U(1) charges are independently conserved, but a more realistic model could be achieved by introducing a mass term coupling the two U(1) fields. As another possible extension, we plan to investigate the magnetic field axis on the doped model in a generic region of couplings, allowing for non-minimal interaction of the superconducting condensate with the bulk gauge fields. In such case, the mapping to the undoped model does not seem immediate, and

This is not a strong point of mine as I like to push until I break. It

I just completed my first Tour de Ski! The tour is a bit different every year, but this year we did 8 raceslight during 10 min. Samples were visualized under a stereoscopic microscope (Nikon SMZ800) to detect the presence of calcium mineralization.

### 2.6.6. Nile Red Staining {#sec2dot6dot6-biomolecules-10-00684}

HFDPC cultured for 21 days under control and adipogenic medium were fixed with 4% formaldehyde during 15 min and washed with 1X PBS. Then constructs were washed with dH~2~O followed by 30 min incubation with 35% glycerol. Finally, samples were stained with 2.5 μg/mL Nile red (19123, Sigma-Aldrich) in 75% glycerol for 10 min. Afterwards, cells were washed with dH~2~O before being counterstained with DAPI.

2.7. RNA Extraction, cDNA Synthesis and PCR {#sec2dot7-biomolecules-10-00684}
-------------------------------------------

RNA was extracted from the samples using Qiagen RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (74134, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and genomic DNA was removed using RNase-Free DNase Set (79254, Qiagen). RNA purity and concentration were quantified


remained round in stiffer scaffolds. After four days in culture, cells within soft scaffolds presented an extended shape and interacted between them, creating a highly interconnected cellular network. On the contrary, in stiffer gels, cellular network at day 4 was less dense, with some cells remaining, yet with a round shape ([Figure 1](#biomolecules-10-00684-f001){ref-type="fig"}).

The extended cell morphology, the presence of cell-cell interactions at each time point and the stiffness of the scaffold correlated with the decrease in the macroscopic size of the 3D constructs ([Figure 2](#biomolecules-10-00684-f002){ref-type="fig"}a,b). In soft scaffolds at 0.15% peptide concentration, matrix contraction by the cells was faster and more pronounced, presenting a contraction degree of approximately 30% in seven days, and it continued contracting along culture time (approximately 90% of contraction after 20 days in culture).original phenotype after cell expansion and induction of HFDPC to osteogenic and adipogenic lineage commitment. We show that the 3D nanometric environment that provides this synthetic matrix allows the upregulation of signature markers involved in hair follicle inductivity, such as alkaline phosphatase and versican, and therefore the partial restoration of HFDPC original phenotype. Moreover, it also permits, under the appropriate medium conditions, to direct osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, as evidenced by matrix mineralization and osteopontin expression in the case of osteogenesis, and FABP4 and lipid droplets accumulation in adipogenesis.

      map needs to reposition its layers (e.g. on zoom), and latLngToLayerPoint is used to get coordinates for the layer's new position.

Another event often used in layer implementations is moveend which fires after any movement of the map (panning, zooming, etc.).

Another thing to note is that you'll usually need to add leaflet-zoom-hide class to the DOM elements you create for the layer so that it hides during zoom animation. Implementing zoom animation for custom layers is a complex topic and will be documented separately in future, but meanwhile you can take a look at how it's done for Leaflet layers (e.g. ImageOverlay) in the source.

Custom Layer Example

Here's how a custom layer implementation usually looks:

var MyCustomLayer = L.Class.extend({

	initialize: function (latlng) {
// save position of the layer or any options


This invention relates to a cover apparatus for a deep oil cooker having a sealed cover for high pressure operation and particularly to such a cover for rapid and safe closure and opening of the cooker.
Deep oil cookers are widely used by restaurants for cooking chicken, fish and other foods by immersion in hot cooking oil. Certain restaurants specialize in such foods, particularly deep cooked chicken. In addition to the conventional restaurant where the food is consumed on the presmies, various restaurants and other food retail outlets have a substantial food carry-out business including chicken. In those restaurants and other outlets having large sales volume of cooked foods, a rapid and efficient cooker is essential in order to produce quality products at a reasonable and profitable cost.

At times, their work has earned Tianwang positive coverage from mainland media, including from the People’s Daily, which is the largest official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party. But they have also been criticized for their reporting on human rights.

Huang was jailed for five years for subversion in 2003 after hosting on his site articles about the 1989 pro-democracy movement in China that resulted in the Tiananmen massacre. He was again jailed for three years for “possession of state secrets” after investigating allegations that poor construction contributed to the deaths of schoolchildren in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. He said:

Video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy preserves more latissimus dorsi muscle than conventional surgery.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for early lung cancer has become technically feasible. We sought to determine if VATS preserved chest wall muscle postoperatively better than thoracotomy. Consecutive patients who underwent lobectomy between 2004 and 2006 for clinical Stage IA non-small cell lung cancer through VATS (VATS group) or posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT group) at our institution were eligible for the study. The cross-sectional areas of bilateral latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) at the lower end of the scapula were obtained by computed tomography preoperatively and one year after surgery. These were quantified with image analysis by two researchers in a blinded manner. Fourteen patients in the VATS group (mean age, 68 years; 8 men, 6 women) and 24pull the ball and looks like he’s trying to lift every pitch up into the left field bleachers.

More than 300 Syrian refugees rescued by a cruise ship off the coast of Cyprus today staged a dramatic sit-in aboard the pleasure liner ... and refused to budge until it took them to mainland Europe.

The group was found stranded in the Mediterranean Sea after fleeing their war-torn homeland as it continued under onslaught of Islamic State jihadis.

But as soon as the Salamis Cruise Lines ship docked in Cyprus to drop them off, they stayed on board and demanded to be taken to Italy.

Rescued: They were winched to safety after their rickety boat ran into trouble at sea

We will not beof North Africa, mostly lawless Libya, in rickety boats in rising numbers for years. Many head for Italy, a gateway to the European Union. Nearly 3,000 of those migrants have drowned in shipwrecks this year. Earlier this month, some 500 migrants are believed to have died after traffickers rammed their ship off Malta's coast, leaving only nine survivors. At the U.N. General Assembly, Gambian President Yahya Jammeh described these incidents as 'the very dangerous, racist and inhuman behavior of deliberately causing boats carrying black Africans to sink.' 'The U.N. must conduct a full and impartial investigation into this manmade sinking, capsizing of these boats carrying young Africans to Europe,' Jammeh said. 'If these boats are able to cross the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea only to sink


frequent and intense bilateral spasms of the eyelids for 20 years. It did not involve any other muscle of the face or neck. She reported an abnormal feeling of tension in the eyelids and subsequently, involuntary excessive blinking developed. These spasms were insuppressible, exacerbated by stress and bright light; furthermore their frequency and severity have been worsening over the years.

She has been treated with botulinum toxin injection (Botox^®^, Allergan, Irvine, CA, USA) in the orbicularis oculi muscles (up to 25 Units per eye) and taken some medications (trihexyphenidyl 6 mg, clonazepam 1.5 mg, baclofen 30 mg per day). But, she experienced a little effect and was not satisfied with those treatments. Accidentally, she found that her symptom was improved after taking Zolpidem which had been prescribed for insomnianot work. But when you know and did enough research, you will understand that there are only 3 known human pheromone substances that are worth buying which are androstenone, androsterone and androstenol. These 3 already have a chemical name, a chemical formula and it is widely accepted to be pheromones. So if you are mixing pheromones, it is highly recommended to get products that are pure androstenone, androsterone and androstenol. You can then start creating your own ratio and mixes.

Androstenone Has Been Known to Illicit Sexual Tension

So for most people or for most mixes, androstenone may be the dominant human pheromone substance. However, too much androstenone often leads to negative reactions and short breaks of anger or irritability from women. So the right mix brings out the positive


manner. Plaintiff also alleges that defendant negligently failed to warn of the tractor's dangerous condition.
On November 16, 1995, defendant moved for summary judgment. Defendant admits that plaintiff's injuries would have been avoided had the MF20 been equipped with either a rollbar, ROPS (roll over protective structure), or self-leveling device for the loader and forklift attachment (Item 51, Statement ¶ 10).[3] However, defendant argues that it is entitled to summary judgment on the grounds that: (1) a manufacturer cannot be held liable for injuries caused by a product where it made optional safety equipment available and made the purchaser aware of those options, and (2) plaintiff's breach of warranty claims are time-barred.
On January 2, 1996, plaintiff's attorney filed a responding affidavit (Item 57). Essentially, plaintiff's argument is that rollreasonably can be attributed to the plaintiff; and (7) the manufacturer's ability to spread any cost related to improving the safety of the design." Voss, supra at 109, 463 N.Y.S.2d 398, 450 N.E.2d 204 (citing Rainbow v. Elia Bldg. Co., Inc., 79 A.D.2d 287, 291, 436 N.Y.S.2d 480, 483 (4th Dept. 1981), aff'd, 56 N.Y.2d 550, 449 N.Y.S.2d 967, 434 N.E.2d 1345 (1982); Wade, On the Nature of Strict Tort Liability for Products, 44 Miss.L.J. 825, 837-838; 1 N.Y. PJI2d 139-40 (1982 Supp.)).
Defendant has admitted that the absence of either a rollbar, ROPS, or self-leveling device on the MF20 tractor loader was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff's injuries (Item 51, Statement ¶ 10). Therefore, to prevail on a motion for summary judgment, defendant must show that the


MF20 tractor loader was in a condition reasonably contemplated by the consumer and was not unreasonably dangerous for its intended use when it was sold in 1970. Robinson, supra, 49 N.Y.2d at 479, 426 N.Y.S.2d 717, 403 N.E.2d 440; Rainbow v. Albert Elia Bldg. Co., Inc., 79 A.D.2d 287, 289-90, 436 N.Y.S.2d 480, 482 (4th Dept.1981), aff'd, 56 N.Y.2d 550, 449 N.Y.S.2d 967, 434 N.E.2d 1345 (1982) (manufacturer's duty of nondefective design is assessed in light of technology and conditions at the time product was put on the market).

B. Negligent Product Design
Under New York law, a manufacturer has a duty to use reasonable care in designing its product "so as to avoid any unreasonable risk of harm ... when the product is used in the manner for whichROPS, which might have prevented the injuries. In its decision, the Fourth Department first noted the duty standard applicable to negligent design claims, quoting Micallef, supra at 385-86, 384 N.Y.S.2d 115, 348 N.E.2d 571. Upon reviewing the evidence produced at trial, the Fourth Department stated that "the loader was `stable' or `very stable' when operated properly" and did not differ "in any material safety feature from products marketed by the industry generally." Biss, supra, 64 A.D.2d at 207, 409 N.Y.S.2d at 876. It then went on to hold that "defendants had fulfilled their duty to exercise reasonable care in designing the product as a matter of law when they advised the purchaser that an appropriate safety structure for the loader was available." Id.
Based on this holding, defendant concludes


DENIED; and defendant's motion for order of preclusion (Item 73) is DENIED. If defendant determines that it needs additional time for discovery with respect to the exhibits for which preclusion was sought, counsel must make application to the court.

NOTES
[1]  The correct name is Varity Corporation.
[2]  Prior to July 30, 1991, Massey-Ferguson, Inc., a farm machinery manufacturer, was a U.S. subsidiary of Varity Corporation, then a Canadian company.
[3]  The terms rollbar and ROPS both refer to safety structures designed to protect the operator in the event of an equipment roll over.
[4]  Defendant states that in affirming Rainbow v. Albert Elia Bldg. Co., 79 A.D.2d 287, 436 N.Y.S.2d 480 (4th Dept.1981), aff'd, 56 N.Y.2d 550, (1982), the Court of Appeals adopted the Biss holding asare throwing out some big promises on health care. A major focus for both the Liberals and NDP is providing extended public drug coverage to more or all Ontarians, while the PCs’ big line items are “ending hallway medicine” and providing dental care for low-income seniors.

CHILD CARE & EDUCATION

While the Liberals and New Democrats’ are proposing new child care spaces and offering free care in some cases, Ford is pitching a new tax credit for parents. On education, the PCs have a lot of ideas for primary and secondary schools but the platform makes little mention of post-secondary institutions. Both Wynne and Horwath have made commitments to making university and college education more accessible to students.

many different industries, our local food farms have an important national duty to ensure that Singapore has some supply resilience.

"Therefore, we want to encourage our farms to adopt technology that make them more productive - increase their yield, decrease their loss, so that in times of need, we know we can be self-sufficient to some extent," Dr Koh said.

LOSING TOUCH WITH THE NATURAL WORLD?

But as technology sinks ever deeper roots in Singapore’s urban jungle, some in the industry say that its overemphasis may root out the rustic nature of farming and, for younger generations, a loss of knowledge of where our food comes from.

While older folks can recall childhood memories of chickens and cows roaming in their kampung, many children today only have the experience of seeing animalsa lot of times when we talk about technology, the image that comes to mind is that of gizmo and gadgetry, expensive investment in machinery," said Dr Koh. "But technology means that we need to use something that is more related to science, and also have something that helps to reduce wastage and increase your yield.

"Farming technology spans a whole different spectrum - from simple things like automatic irrigation to putting in simple sensors which tell you the temperature," said Dr Koh. "These are actually simple technologies that existing farmers on the soil are actually using. So I do not think that it is beyond the reach of most of our land-based farmers."

President of the Kranji Countryside Association Kenny Eng agreed: "Innovation does not just equate to high


to other reported works \[[@B28-sensors-19-05301]\], the length of the nanowires was much higher and highly oriented when Ag catalyst was used rather than the Au catalyst, where the nanowires were randomly oriented.

In this work, we proposed the growth of β-Ga~2~O~3~ nanowires on P^+^-silicon substrate by thermal oxidation at 950 °C using an Ag catalyst. We studied the sensitivity of β-Ga~2~O~3~ nanowires for UV detection.

2. Materials and Methods {#sec2-sensors-19-05301}
========================

The UV photodetector was fabricated on (100) P^+^-Si substrate doped with phosphorus. The substrate was 500 μm thick and had a resistivity between 0.001 and 0.005 Ω-cm. Before each experiment, the silicon substrate was cleaned for 5 min in acetone and then, in methanol for 5 min in an ultrasonic bath. Following the cleaning procedure, the wafer was rinsed with deionizedwater for 5 min. To obtain Ga~2~O~3~, 0.2 g of gallium \[(Ga) (purity 99.999%)\] was dripped onto cleaned quartz crucible. Silver was used as a catalyst to enhance the growth of gallium oxide NWs. An ultrathin layer of 5 nm Ag was sputtered on silicon. The silicon wafer was positioned with the Ag-coated surface to face the crucible quartz containing Ga. The distance between the substrate and the gallium pool was 10 mm. Then, the substrate was loaded into a quartz crucible which was placed into an OTF-1200X-50-SL horizontal alumina tube furnace made by MTI Corporation (Richmond, CA, USA). The oxidation was performed at 950 °C for 1 h in a 20 sccm nitrogen atmosphere.

Celebrate the 4th ofThis all started as a question from a member of another programming team at work. They had been asked to add a new field to an existing file. Most of the time this field would be empty, but it could contain up to 2,000 characters of data in some cases.

"It would be easy with a SQL table," they said "I could just make a new column VARCHAR (variable length character field) and make the default value null. But I don't know how to do that with a DDS field."

By using a variable length character field will mean that the field will not always be 2,000 characters. It will be as long as the data within it. And when there is no data in the field it will take


up zero space. What a disk space savings.

Fortunately doing this with a DDS file is as easy as it is with a SQL table using the right keywords when defining the file. And it is just as easy to handle the variable length and null value in a RPG program. I decide to create my example file and the program on an IBM i partition that is running 7.2 just to show that there is nothing from a newer release need to do this.

It will come as no surprise to my regular readers that the file I will be using in this post is called TESTFILE . It contains just two fields:

01 A UNIQUE 02 A R TESTFILER 03 A KEY01 5A 04 A BIGCOL 2000A VARLEN 05on I execute line 14. If not then I will display the contents, well the first 50 character of, BIG_COLUMN .

When I call the program I do not get an error.

DSPLY Key field = 1 DSPLY Big column = *N DSPLY Key field = 2 DSPLY VERY, VERY LONG DESCRIPTION FOR THIS COLUMN HERE T DSPLY Key field = 3 DSPLY Big column = *N

the Adam James matter, to be conducted by university attorney Charlotte Bingham. Interestingly, Bingham worked for Hance, not the president's office. Later that night she interviewed Craig James, who told her that Adam was required to stand in an electrical closet for hours.

She interviewed Adam, who told her that he had been forced to stand in the closet for five minutes. Neither of these statements were true.

Turner contacted Bingham on December 21, before she'd interviewed a single witness outside the James family. Turner instructed Bingham, Tech president Bailey, and AD Myers that the investigation should be used to terminate me. Neither Turner, Hance, nor any of the regents should've been involved or interfered with any of this. It is strictly prohibited by university policies and procedures.

by Konju/ Gotham Parks

Last night’s rain had swamped the cratered road leading to Karlo Banaga’s cramped tin garage in Willets Point. Pondering delinquency, he poked his head out of the open garage door to check the outside operating conditions. A grin broke out across his face as he rubbed his hands to the outbound clouds. His frumpy black hair and long beard danced windswept in the easterly breeze that cool autumn morning as he prepared to enter the city to burgle and steal. He’d just inherited the garage from an uncle


It wasn’t that he didn’t have a capacity for proper hygiene, but rather he lacked the infrastructure for it in that industrial garage, and so didn’t bother with the contortions needed for a full bath in a large stainless-steel sink but a few times a month, and certainly not today.

Donning wrinkled army fatigues and treadless boots, he hoofed it to Jackson Heights, walking fast and to the point down to Roosevelt Avenue in the 80s. There he could count on the noisy IRT to mask his business. The elevated 7 train was loud enough to drown out the hum of his vibrating hand as it dismantled cast-iron u-locks at very high frequencies.

His taste was typically well-cultivated. High-end road-racing and practical bikes from the likes of Trek, Specialized, ora lawyer for a little while, then a massage therapist. Wanted to try being a criminal, and honestly I kinda like it. I don’t know how much more I can get out of it, though.”

“Wow. I mean, I could never be as bold as you. I always looked up to you back in those days, all learned, wanting to better yourself, already had a law degree and just all around ace student. That’s who I was trying to be, maybe still trying to be. Just trying to be enlightened.”

“Brother, I am not enlightened. Don’t associate me with that.”

“But, you know. What’s it been, a couple years since I last saw you? I would have thought you’d had your own spa by now, with a law firm attached. Serving


was allowed in was because Gameboy was apparently a high-ranked member of the Renegades. She then reached into her pocket, which seemed to be deeper than it looked, and pulled out a bracelet with a small screen on it that she said was a communicator. As I looked it over, she had apparently ran off.

"Must have had something important to do." I said to myself as I wondered which tunnel would lead me to Gameboy's room so I could talk with him. "Eeny, meeny, miny. That one." I said as I went through the decision game I played as a kid to choose the tunnel to the diagonal right of where I stood. I put the communicator on and saw as it turned into a normal bracelet beforeHeadache. "Ah, sorry about that Headache. No, I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley at night" he apologized, before giving a humoring laugh. He moved the tendril around a few more times, when suddenly he began to notice shockwaves echoing out across the walls and the floor. He sighed and shook his head.

"Sorry about Starfire, she can be a bit loud when she spars" he notes jokingly, and tilts his head to the adjescent that Starfire was fighting in. He rubbed his chin, looking back to Headache, and began to get an idea. THe tendril clustered towards his shoulder bones, and began to expand outwards, forming large squares in the air. It began to shape itself further from the expanding, and as it began to


a jetpack. He zipped through the halls, dodging other villains, towards Doctor Light’s lab.

“Yo Doc,” he shouted as way of announcing himself as he flew into the lab. Correcting the jetpack’s trajectory he lifted up, then slowly touched down on the lab floor. The jetpack folded itself up into backpack as he scanned the room.

For some reason there were 10 almost complete automatons, a bunch of Billy clones, and the unconscious from Otto Von Furth. If awoken, he’d become Plasmus, a completely uncontrollable creature that wreaked everything in such of toxins. Come to think of it, he’d probably like to munch down on some diamite. Gizmo smirked, “What’s Goo-butt doing here?”

“Just a little research project,” lied Doctor Light gently. He turned to one of the Billys, dismissing them,over the edge of the roof, spreading her arms. It seemed counter intuitive, but she knew what she was doing, because she immediately started to transform into a Lesser Horned Owl. The transformation took a while though, she barely finished transforming in time not to smash into the pavement. Silently the predatory bird swooped higher into the air, then headed towards City Hall.

"That's freaky to look at, no offense," Susano said to her. "Okay, now you got me shaking in me boots." Headache thought of something else. Her wings were feathery. Headache thought harder about her wings, and eventually they started to become leathery, more like bat wings. These wings actually fit her current form, so it was easier to take her seriously.

But eventually, Susano managed to use

"He is a Stilton. We Stiltons are much more resistive than average humans, he is still alive, I hope..." the 'child' spoke. 'Her' long hair swayed in the wind,while 'her' mysterious eyes remain hidden.
With that, the fox took the little 'girl' in her arms, before levitating down towards the ground. "Hmm.. I remember working with some heroes back in the day."

Just then, the fox-eared lady picked up a scent. She looked up, and saw a broken window. "Oh sweet Inari."
The two then hovered up towards the broken window, to find a child crying beside a partially-eaten carcass.
"Oh Hecate, what happened..." the 'girl' was gasping with horror.

"Wow! That's amazing," Headache said to Susano, kind of admiring him. Susano blushed a little, and scratched the back of his head as he tried to keep his wings flapping. He wasn't good with compliments.

"Thanks Headache. Your abilities are pretty cool too" he said, trying to appease her with a compliment.


think? I was not sure about her name, but I think that was it. She prepared her crossbow. "Ready to have you hurt me first before you are making with the healing? Do I have a choice? Go ahead I guess. This should make me feel a little better, after the pain of being shot with the arrow wears off. Then we can go to the Med Bay to finish it up I suppose, and put me in a healing chamber. I do not know if I can fly even after the healing shot."

Lektra was left to her own devices. The transforming armor for Starfire was nearing completion. She had also started the factory onand increases the cost of manufacturing. For this reason, it is difficult to process both conditioning wafers and product wafers with a single recipe. To resolve this problem, a modified process recipe without the use of endpoint detectors has been employed to prevent an alarm situation. However, this practice can lead to the problems listed above and result in wafers that have to be scrapped.
Another remedy is to have conditioning wafers run automatically at the beginning of each lot of product wafers. However, this is very time consuming, especially when lots are continuously loaded one after another. This is even more wasteful when each lot contains only a few wafers instead of a complete batch of 25 wafers. As discussed above, a single conditioning wafer and sometimes multiple

*divergent discriminative feature accumulation* (DDFA), instead of searching for features constrained by the objective of solving the discriminative classification problem, a learning algorithm can instead attempt to *collect* as many features that discriminate strongly among training examples as possible, without regard to any particular classification problem. The approach in such unsupervised discriminative learning is thus to search continually for novel features that discriminate among training examples in new ways. Interestingly, unlike conventional algorithms in deep learning, such a search is explicitly divergent by design and therefore continues to accumulate new features without converging. In effect, a high-scoring feature is therefore relevant to discriminating among the examples, even though the ultimate discrimination problem is not known. A comprehensive set of such features that discriminate among the training set inmultilayer features or searching for novel features that are built above already-discovered features) and convolution [@lecun:hbtnn95], just like other deep learning algorithms. Most importantly, based on the novel representational principle that discriminators make good features for classification problems, DDFA opens up a new class of learning approaches.

Background
==========

This section reviews the two algorithms, novelty search and HyperNEAT, that underpin the DDFA approach.

Novelty Search
--------------

The problem of *collecting* novel instances of a class is different from the more familiar problem of minimizing error. While error minimization aims at converging towards minima in the search space, collecting novelty requires diverging away from past discoveries and fanning out across the search space in all directions that appear to lead towards further novelty. This fanning-out process is thus well-suited to a population-based approach that


how to construct a solution close to the objective. Thus, moving through the space of novel behaviors requires exploration. The gradient of novelty is interesting in particular because novel discoveries lead to other novel discoveries, which means that a search algorithm following gradients of novelty is likely to make many interesting discoveries. Novelty search in effect runs as a regular EA wherein novelty replaces fitness as the criterion for selection, and an expanding archive of past novel discoveries is maintained. This simple idea will empower DDFA in this paper to accumulate a collection of novel features.

HyperNEAT
---------

The term for algorithms that search for ANNs through an evolutionary process is *neuroevolution* [@stanley:ec02; @floreano:ei08]. It is important to note that modern neuroevolution algorithms are not like conventional EAs based on bitof those found in the lower levels of conventional deep networks (towards left) to more complex shapes (towards right).

Frequent use of electrode tips for use in spot welding or the like causes deformation of tip sections of the electrode tips, thereby compelling stopping of welding operation. A tip shaping apparatus is known in Patent Literature 1 shaping electrode tips into reusable condition by applying plastic deformation to deformed tip sections of electrode tips rather than by cutting which would produce cutting or grinding swarf. The electrode tip used in Patent Literature 1 includes a columnar root section and a tip section, and the tip section includes a leading end surface that contacts with a workpiece and an enlarging surface that enlarges from the leading end surface toward the root section.
The above tip shaping apparatus is constructed to shape the leading end surfaces and the enlarging surfacescutting section. Then the shaping rollers rotate about the axes of the electrode tips together with the holder and apply the shaping surfaces to the tip sections of the electrode tips, thereby shaping the enlarging surfaces. In the meantime, the cutting section cuts the leading end surfaces and vicinities of edges of the leading end surfaces by the cutting blades. Thus the conventional tip shaping apparatus shapes the tip sections of electrode tips with high accuracy.
