need this result later, however.

  [*Let $M \snor N$, where $N$ is a finite group. Then there exist subgroups $M_i$ such that $M = M_0 \nor M_1 \nor \cdots \nor M_r = N$ and every automorphism of $N$ that stabilizes $M$ also stabilizes each of the subgroups $M_i$.*]{}

  There is nothing to prove if $M = N$, and so we can assume that $M \sbs M^N < N$, where $M^N$ denotes the normal closure of $M$ in $N$. (Note that the normal closure $M^N$ is proper in $N$ because $M$ is proper and subnormal.) Working by induction on $|N:M|$, we can find a subgroup chain $M = M_0 \nor M_1 \nor \cdots \nor  M_{r-1} = M^N$, where each subgroup $M_i$ is stabilized by the automorphisms of $M^N$ that stabilize$\beta$, and thus we cannot have $X = X_\alpha Y$. Since $Y \nor X$ has prime index, we deduce that $X_\alpha \sbs Y$. We know, however, that $|G:G_\alpha| = \deg f$ is odd, and since $X \snor G$, it follows that $|X:X_\alpha|$ is odd, and thus $|X/Y|$ is odd.

Since $\sigma \in U$ inverts the elements of $\gen\epsilon$, we deduce that $\sigma$ inverts the elements of $X/Y$, and therefore no nonidentity element of $X/Y$ is fixed by $\sigma$. But $\tau^\sigma \tau\inv \in X_\alpha \sbs Y$, and this shows that the coset $Y\tau$ is a $\sigma$-fixed point of $X/Y$. We conclude that $\tau \in Y$, and this contradicts the choice of $X$.

As another application of Theorem 3.1 we deduce Theorem D. In fact, as promised, we have the following slightly stronger result.

  [*Let


real and that $s$ and $t$ are distinct since $s - t = (\alpha - \beta)(\gamma - \delta) \ne 0$. Also, $s$ and $t$ are complex conjugates, and so they are nonreal.

We claim that $r$ is contained in some real repeated radical extension $L$ of $Q$. To see why this is so, observe that the Galois group of $f$ over $Q$ permutes the set $\{r,s,t\}$. This group thus fixes the coefficients of the polynomial $g(X) = (X - r)(X - s)(X - t)$, and we deduce that $g \in Q[X]$. If $g$ is reducible over $Q$, then $|Q[r]:Q| \le 2$, and in this case, $Q[r]$ is a radical extension of $Q$ and we can take $L = Q[r]$. Otherwise, $g$ is irreducible over $Q$, and since $r$ isData Suggest That ObamaCare Actually Caused More Americans To Die.

Namely, the states that took advantage of ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion saw a worse impact on their mortality rates than the states that rejected the expansion.

One of the popular objections to the GOP proposals to reform health insurance markets is that the Affordable Care Act (aka “ObamaCare”) saved thousands of lives per year, and hence that tinkering with ObamaCare will literally kill lots of people.

Now to be sure, even if the claim were true, it still wouldn’t follow that coercive redistribution of wealth was morally justified. However, as happens so often in political controversies, libertarians don’t have to choose between property rights and tolerating widespread suffering. Believe it or not, the data suggest that if anything, ObamaCare actually caused more

#3. But now we come to the third and most devastating component of the Cass study. He is intellectually honest and concedes that the uptick in mortality in 2015 could be a fluke, or it could be a genuine problem due to something other than ObamaCare. For example, there is a festering opioid epidemic in many parts of the US, so perhaps it was just bad luck (for Obama’s legacy) that this public health crisis happened to hit right when his signature legislature fully kicked in.

Yet Cass points out that we still have a pretty good control group to assess the specific impact of the Affordable Care Act’s boostSchool and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "The single best way to improve influenza-related outcomes is to vaccinate people."

Research earlier this year found that people were six times more likely to have a heart attack in the week after being diagnosed with the flu. But the impact of the virus on heart failure, a condition in which the heart muscle becomes too weak or stiff to pump blood efficiently through the body, hasn't been as clear, Solomon said.

"The goal of this study was really to look at whether we could relate influenza activity occurring regionally and temporarily, or at a particular time of the year, with heart failure hospitalizations that were occurring around the same time," he said.

In 1987, the rock&roll world was knocked on their
a**es by a new New York based Glam Band performing under the name of
Twisted Sister. With theatrics
rivaling KISS and a shock factor that Alice Cooper would be proud of, the
band released Stay Hungry which yielded the hugely successful singles and
videos "I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It". The extensive touring
that followed kept them near the top of the charts for many months to come

The present invention relates to power tools driven by an electric motor. Power tools utilize the rotation of an electric motor to provide useful torque for operations such as drilling, driving fasteners, and the like.
An example of a power tool system having a tool body and interchangeable tool heads is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,176,322. The electric motor is housed in the tool body, and the tool heads are each selectively connectible to the tool body to be driven by the motor. Each tool head connects to the tool body in a single rotational orientation with respect to the tool body. The tool body is bulky and utilizes space inefficiently, having an oblong ring shape with a trigger disposed on an inner surface of the ring shape.          this.SEQStmt(s.body);

are no nationwide data tracking the practice. It's unclear how many undocumented patients have returned and whether the repatriations are voluntary.

Last year, a hospital in Chicago, Illinois, was planning to discharge an undocumented comatose patient to Mexico, but he died while his family fought to prevent the deportation. A Stuart, Florida, hospital sent an illegal immigrant who had brain damage back to Guatemala after the man racked up $2 million in unpaid medical bills. A Florida jury vindicated the hospital for its actions in July.

Medical repatriations are happening because hospitals bear the financial burden for uncompensated care, said one expert.

Two discs; Paramount; $34.99

By Michael S. Gant

Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood certainly looks like an epic, thanks to the spacious gestures of cinematographer Robert Elswit. Unfortunately, this study in American industrial megalomania doesn't add up, even though Anderson constructs a simplistic equation that adds up material and spiritual greed and arrives at a enormous sum of human suffering. Daniel Day-Lewis gives a magnificent performance (up to the end anyway) as a wildcat California oil man turning into a tortured magnate in the early 1900s, but Paul Dano's Eli Sunday hardly seems like a worthy opponent. Nothing in his preaching fervor sounds as chilling or compelling as Plainview's scary confession, "I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed." This


Leading aviation reviewer Skytrax just released the results of its annual World Airport Awards, which includes a list of the best airports in North America. The Skytrax awards are based on 39 parameters including ease of access, airport comfort, cleanliness, and wait times at check-in and security screenings. Nearly 13 million travellers from 110 different countries participated in this year’s survey.

Why it's great: For many, JFK Airport is synonymous with the glory years of aviation. For others, JFK is no more than a crumbling relic of a bygone era.

In reality, the JFK of today is neither. Gone are the dated 1960s era terminal buildings and their dilapidated facilities. In their place are modern terminal facilitiesCase

You have a WAR to deploy on Tomcat, let’s say jonathan.war for instance. Usually, the application will be reached through the URL http://machine:port/jonathan.
Let’s say you would like to exclude the WAR name from the address, ie the application to be reached on http://machine:port/. This operation is called “to deploy in root”, since the context will be simple slash: '/'.

I had the following issue: when I undeployed the WAR from Tomcat using the manager instance, the undeploy failed. As a workaround, I had to restart Tomcat for the undeploy to be taken in account.
This issue occured only in Windows ; when the exact same WAR and the same version of Tomcar on Debian, I was able to deploy and undeploy many times.

a locker room, Sam fell to the No. 248 pick.

In some ways, St. Louis was the perfect spot for Sam to begin his NFL career. He was drafted by one of the NFL's most respected head coaches in Jeff Fisher and joined a team with strong veteran leaders like defensive end Chris Long. Sam also initially remained close to Columbia, Mo., where he had been open about his sexuality to his Missouri teammates and on campus for a year without issue.

But the Rams' strong defensive roster had Sam on the roster bubble for all of August. With Long, Robert Quinn, William Hayes and Eugene Sims firmly set as the team's top four defensive ends, it was difficult to see the Rams keeping more than five defensive ends. ThatQ:

No. Because stop codon works only when translation has already started. However it is not essential that the stop codon should be followed by the 3'UTR. Usually in bacteria a single mRNA codes for multiple proteins. There are many ORFs that are lined one after the other; such mRNAs are called polycistronic mRNAs. In these cases there is another start codon a few distance ahead of a previous stop codon.

A:

Not all the RNA is to be translated into proteins. Actually most of it is for regulation and sometimes unknown use. There are non coding regions before the start codon and after the stop codon. Hence the need for both.

Russia’s NOVATEK sells 20% stake in Yamal LNG to China’s CNPC

MOSCOW, January 14. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s biggest independent natural gas producer NOVATEK has closed a deal on selling a 20 percent stake in Yamal LNG Co. to China National Oil and Gas Exploration and Development Corporation, or CNODC, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), according to a NOVATEK press released made public on Tuesday.

The deal was approved by the Russia, European and Chinese regulators in December 2013.

Now, NOVATEK holds a 60 percent stake in Yamal LNG, Total has 20 percent of shares, and CNPC - also 20 percent.

The Yamal LNG projects provides for the construction of a natural gas liquefying facility with a projected capacity of 16.5 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas a year at thewhich is rapidly vying with the Dutch label, Gala as one of the best buys around for opera lovers.

[¶9.]        It is undisputed that the power of attorney in this case did not give

Butch the power to self-deal. We also agree with Petitioners that: “a power of

attorney must be strictly construed and strictly pursued,” Bienash v. Moller,

2006 S.D. 78, ¶ 13, 721 N.W.2d 431, 435; “if the power to self-deal is not specifically

articulated in the power of attorney, that power does not exist,” id. ¶ 14; and oral

extrinsic evidence is inadmissible to show that “the attorney-in-fact [had] the power

to self-deal when the power of attorney does not explicitly provide such,” Hein v.

Zoss, 2016 S.D. 73, ¶ 10, 887 N.W.2d 62, 66. But these legal principles do not apply

decision. The evidence supports a finding that Butch’s “signing of [Lester’s] name

was a mechanical act in that [Lester] intended to sign the document using the

instrumentality of the amanuensis.” See Estate of Stephens, 49 P.3d at 1100-01. It

also supports a finding that the form was signed in the “presence of [Lester], and by

his authority, and where he [knew] the contents of the same.” See Hickox, 97 N.W.

[¶15.]       We conclude that the circuit court did not clearly err in finding that

Butch was not exercising his power of attorney when he signed Lester’s name;

rather, he was acting as an amanuensis. Thus, the circuit court did not err in

rejecting Petitioners’ claims and ruling that Butch was the owner of the funds in the

 articulation of newcomer maternity experiences for policy decisions is relatively new in Canada, recent national guidelines do explicitly refer to population diversity and the need for maternity providers to tailor services to the needs of those they serve \[[@B9]\]. As a component of health care, maternity care is a provincial responsibility but to receive federal monetary disbursements all provinces and territories must comply with the Canada Health Act, 1984. There is considerable inter-provincial variation in service organization although, for most part, there is agreement on national care standards. These include the importance of 'family-centered' guidelines that emphasize birth as a normal developmental process and the importance of social support, informed choice and respect \[[@B9]\].

There is evidence that many newcomers in western industrialized countries struggle to navigate health systems,


Although not reported in the tables, family doctors and nurses were sources of information for both groups, but more so for Canadian-born women. Fifteen percent of Canadian-born women reported a family doctor as their source of information compared to 10% of newcomer women. Similarly, 20% of Canadian-born women reported a nurse as their source of information compared to 13% of newcomer women. Newcomer women were also less likely than Canadian-born to get information from friends and family (10% vs. 20%). They reported that books were a source of information more often than Canadian-born women (27% vs 17%).

On the whole there was no difference in reported levels of satisfaction between the two groups regarding types of information received, provider competency, provider concern for their privacy, providerbirth \[[@B24]\].

Newcomer women were less satisfied with information provided around infant feeding, including breastfeeding, and this could well contribute to fewer newcomers feeling "very satisfied" with their postnatal care. In many cultures family and close friends are important and trusted sources of perinatal information but they are less likely to be available to newcomer women. Further language differences between newcomers and their providers pose a barrier to accessing crucial information about pregnancy and navigating the healthcare system during pregnancy. It is also possible that what appears as lack of information maybe also be explained as a reluctance to accept practices that do not fit in with existing traditional and cultural beliefs during the perinatal period. For example, in a Canadian qualitative study, Grewal and colleagues \[[@B7]\] reported that

Gas prices on the rise in New Hampshire in 2013

DOVER — The price of gasoline has increased in New Hampshire since the beginning of the year, jumping nearly 20 cents during the last two weeks alone.

In New Hampshire, the average price of a gallon of regular gas rose from about $3.40 two weeks ago to about $3.59 today, according to data compiled by the website GasBuddy.com.

GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan said prices have been increasing not only in New Hampshire but across the country.The price of oil is rising, DeHaan said, in part because the refinery maintenance schedule is keeping some refineries offline.

Positive sentiment in the stock market can also translate into higher commodities prices, he said.

Gas prices usually increase in spring, but this year's spike is

Inhibition of membrane-associated methyltransferases by a cholesterol-based metal chelator.
We have designed, synthesized, and characterized a metal chelating compound that is based on the structure of cholesterol and contains the high affinity metal chelating group, lysine nitrilotriacetic acid (Lys-NTA). Using the enzyme isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase (Icmt) from yeast as a model integral membrane metalloenzyme, we find that this agent potently inhibits Icmt activity with an IC(50) value between 35 and 75 microM, which is at least 40 times more potent than the best known Icmt metal chelating inhibitor, Zincon. We propose that the rigid hydrophobic cholesterol moiety promotes partitioning into the membrane, enabling the metal-binding NTA group(s) to inactivate the enzyme by metal chelation. Because this compound is based on a naturally occurring membrane lipid and appears to chelate metalsof the proofs. Intuitively, our new detection condition ensures an upper bound on $\widehat C_{\alpha}$. But we do not need an extra condition to get a lower bound of $\widehat C_{\alpha}$, because of the type I error bound requirement (see the proof of Proposition \[prop::R1\] for details).

Neyman-Pearson plug-in procedure
--------------------------------

Suppose the sampling scheme is fixed as follows.

\[assumption::independence-split\] Assume the training sample contains $n$ i.i.d. observations $\mathcal{S}^1=\{U_1,\cdots,U_n\}$ from class 1 with density $p$, and $m$ i.i.d. observations $\mathcal{S}^0=\{V_1,\cdots,V_m\}$ from class 0 with density $q$. Given fixed $n_1$, $n_2$, $m_1$, $m_2$ and $m_3$ such that $n_1+n_2 = n$, $m_1+m_2+m_3=m$, we further decompose $\mathcal{S}^1$ and $\mathcal{S}^0$ into independent subsamples as: $\mathcal{S}^1 = \mathcal{S}^1_1 \cup \mathcal{S}^1_2$, and $\mathcal{S}^0 = \mathcal{S}^0_1 \cup \mathcal{S}^0_2 \cup \mathcal{S}^0_3$, where $|\mathcal{S}^1_1| = n_1$, $|\mathcal{S}^1_2| = n_2$, $|\mathcal{S}^0_1| =


with high probability $1-\delta_1$ in the screening substep. The tolerance parameter $\delta_2$ arises from the nonparametric estimation of densities, the parameter $\delta_3$ is for the tolerance on violation of type I error bound, and $\delta_4$ arises from controlling $|R_0(\hat \phi_{\text{NSN}^2}) - R_0(\phi^*)|$.

Numerical investigation {#sec::numeric}
=======================

In this section, we analyze two simulated examples and two real datasets to demonstrate the performance of our newly proposed [$^2$]{}and [$^2$]{}classifiers, in comparison with their corresponding non-screening counterparts (denoted as NN$^2$ and PN$^2$ respectively) as well as three popular methods under the classical framework: Gaussian Naive Bayes (nb), penalized logistic regression (pen-log), and Support Vector Machine (svm). We use R package “e1071" for nb and svm, and the R package “glmnet" for pen-log. To facilitate the presentation, we summarize the four Neyman-Pearson Naive Bayeswhich 2788 are class 0 (non-spam) and 1813 are class 1 (spam). We first standardize each feature and add 5000 synthetic features consisting of independent ${\mathcal{N}}(0,1)$ variables to make the problem more challenging. The augmented data has $n=4601$ observations with $d=5057$ features. This augmented dataset is split into a training set with 1000 observations from each class and a testing set with the remaining observations. We use [$^2$]{}since the sample size is relatively large. The average type I and type II errors over 1000 random splits are shown in Table \[tb::spam\].

To evaluate the flexibility of [$^2$]{}in terms of prioritized error control, we also report the performance when the priority is switched to control the type II error below $\alpha=0.05$. The results in Table \[tb::spam\] demonstrate that [$^2$]{}is able

&\leq \,\,\sum_{j \in {\mathcal{A}}} (B^1 + B^0)
\,\le\,  B\,.\end{aligned}$$ On the event $\{{\widehat{{\mathcal{A}}}}_{\tau} = {\mathcal{A}}\} \cap \mathcal{E}$, it follows from Lagrange’s mean value theorem that for any $x$, there exists some $w_x$ between $\log \hat{r}_{\text{N}}^S(x)$ and $\log r(x)$ such that $$\begin{aligned}
| \hat {r}^S_{\text{N}}(x) - r(x) |\,
&=\, |e^{\log \hat{r}_{\text{N}}^S(x)} - e^{\log r(x)}|
\,=\, e^{w_x} | \log \hat{r}_{\text{N}}^S(x) - \log r(x)|\\
&\leq\, e^{\|\log r\|_{\infty}+ B}B \,\,=\,\, Be^B \|r\|_{\infty} \,\,=\,\, T\,,\end{aligned}$$ where the last inequality follows from the fact that $$w_x \leq \max( \log r(x), \log \hat{r}_{\text{N}}^S(x)) \leq  \max( \|\log r\|_{\infty}, \|\log \hat{r}_{\text{N}}^S\|_{\infty}) \leq \|\log r\|_{\infty}+ B\,.$$ Thus, $

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by nitrogenous compounds, such as ammonia or urea, has developed for numerous applications including for treating industrial stationary applications, thermal power plants, gas turbines, coal-fired power plants, plant and refinery heaters and boilers in the chemical processing industry, furnaces, coke ovens, municipal waste plants and incinerators, and a number of vehicular (mobile) applications, e.g., for treating diesel exhaust gas.
Several chemical reactions occur in an NH3 SCR system, all of which represent desirable reactions that reduce NOx to nitrogen. The dominant reaction is represented by reaction (1).4NO+4NH3+O2→4N2+6H2O  (1)
Competing, non-selective reactions with oxygen can produce secondary emissions or may unproductively consume ammonia. One such non-selective reaction is the complete oxidation of ammonia, shown in reaction (2).4NH3+5O2→4NO+6H2O  (2)Also, side reactions may lead to undesirable products such asto grow. Such interactions, which are indeed real life situations, obviously vitiate the expected therapeutic effects of targeted single molecule specific drug. At the same time, the therapeutic agent itself may have varying degrees of "side-effects" because of direct or indirect interactions with other metabolites. Additional complications originate from expression of the mutant product in non-neural tissues, the consequences of which are often ignored. For example, it is commonly believed that only certain specific neurons suffer from the pathological damage due to expanded polyQ proteins, notwithstanding their wider expression. This is a rather simplistic and poorly substantiated view since the consequences in other tissues have not been examined in depth. Even if no apparent effect is detectable, the subtle effects may actually add to the pathological burden. The

ImageMagic resize over background image

I need to resize images in PaperClip which uses ImageMagick over a background image. I made custom PaperClip processors (https://gist.github.com/xxx/1051938 and https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip#custom-attachment-processors) and they are working but I dont know which commands to use to compose the images.
This is process I would like:

User uploads image X
Processor runs and resizes the image X to given dimensions with tranparent fill - Y
Next the background image is cropped to given dimensions - Z
Y is overlayed over the Z centered.

Phytoestrogens regulate vitamin D metabolism in the mouse colon: relevance for colon tumor prevention and therapy.
Soybean products are highly represented in the traditional Asian diet. Major components of soy proteins are phytoestrogens, such as isoflavones. They may be responsible for the extremely low incidence of prostate and mammary tumors and possibly also of colon cancer in countries such as China and Japan. Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 level is inversely related to incidence of some cancers. Levels are determined by skin exposure to ultraviolet light or, to a minor extent, nutritional uptake and by subsequent conversion of the precursor vitamin D to the active hormone by the cytochrome P450 hydroxylases CYP27A1, CYP27B1 (responsible for synthesis) and CYP24 (responsible for catabolism) in liver and kidney.

Clearly, any completely positive matrix is nonnegative and positive semidefinite. We call the family of matrices that are both nonnegative and positive semidefinite *doubly nonnegative*. Doubly nonnegative matrices of order less than $5$ are completely positive [@MR0174570]. However, this is no longer true for matrices of oder larger than or equal to $6$ [@MR0111694].

Any $n \times n$ completely positive matrix $A$ has many *cp-factorizations* of the form $A=VV^T,$ where $V$ is an $n \times m$ matrix. Note that $m$ is also not unique. We define the *cp-rank* of $A$ to be the minimal possible $m$. If we demand that $V$ has rational entries, then we say that $A$ has *a rational cp-factorization*. We


\{0,1,\ldots, a-1\}$, so: $$\label{eq:b^2}
b^2=a(q^2a+2qr+\alpha)+\gamma.$$ We claim that $A$ can be reduced, if $$B={\left( \begin{matrix} a & r \\ r & \alpha +1 \end{matrix} \right)}$$ can be reduced. More precisely, assuming that $B-R'$ is doubly nonnegative for some integer rank one nonnegative matrix $R'$: $$R'={\left( \begin{matrix} k \\ t' \end{matrix} \right)}{\left( \begin{matrix} k & t' \end{matrix} \right)}.$$ we will prove that $A-R$ is doubly nonnegative for $$R={\left( \begin{matrix} k \\ qk+t' \end{matrix} \right)}{\left( \begin{matrix} k & qk+t' \end{matrix} \right)}.$$ Proving this claim finishes the proof of the theorem, since $B$ has all but one element smaller than $A$, and we have shown earlier, that the statement is true, if one of the diagonal elements is equal to $1$.

Inequalities $ac>b^2>(c-1)a$ together with (\[eq:b\^2\]) imply $$q^2a+2qr+\alpha+\frac{\gamma}{a}+1>c>q^2a+2qr+\alpha+\frac{\gamma}{a},$$ and, since $c$ is a\end{matrix} \right)}+{\left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1  \end{matrix} \right)}{\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \end{matrix} \right)}. \end{aligned}$$ We take $$R_4=R_5={\left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 1  \end{matrix} \right)}{\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \end{matrix} \right)},$$ noting that $A_5-R_5$ and $A_4-R_4$ are doubly nonnegative. Following the proof of the theorem, we take $k=2$, $t'=1$, and $q=1$ to construct: $$R_3={\left( \begin{matrix} 2 \\ 3  \end{matrix} \right)}{\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & 3 \end{matrix} \right)},$$ with $A_3-R_3$ doubly nonnegative. To get $R_2$, we first note that the smaller diagonal element of $A_2$ is in $(2,2)$ position. We take $k=3,$ $t'=2$ and $q=1$ to get $$R_2={\left( \begin{matrix} 5 \\ 3  \end{matrix} \right)}{\left( \begin{matrix} 5 & 3 \end{matrix} \right)}$$ with $A_2-R_2$ doubly nonnegative. Finally, to get $R_1$ we take $k=5$, $t'=3$ and $q=2$: $$R_1={\left( \begin{matrix} 5

Whereas previous studies have typically compared self-report questionnaire and interview responses, the present study compares self-reported self-harm with data from medical records. This data is external and objective, although it cannot be considered to be free from error. We linked data from medical records with data reported by participants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of ParentsRead code). Fourth, when extracting data from the HES database, we included codes related to accidental poisoning (ICD 10 codes X40--X49) as these codes are often used to indicate self-harm. While some may be true instances of accidental self-poisoning, this is unusual in adolescence.

Finally, self-harm in ALSPAC was assessed via self-report questionnaire at age 16 years and via a self-administered computerized assessment at age 18 years. Although the question used at both time points was identical, the difference in setting may have contributed to the discrepancies in reporting found in this study.

common condition in the general population, in one study \[[@pone.0149330.ref007]\].

In recent decades, the methods for IgG4 measurement have improved and the interest on IgG4 concentrations has increased due to the emerging concept of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which integrates a wide number of old diseases from a new perspective \[[@pone.0149330.ref008]--[@pone.0149330.ref011]\]. Inflammation and fibrosis of one or more organs, with a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells is the hallmark of IgG4-RD \[[@pone.0149330.ref008]--[@pone.0149330.ref011]\]. The role of IgG4 in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD is unclear. It is not known whether IgG4 antibodies are pathogenic or represent a regulatory response to another primary autoimmune or allergic process \[[@pone.0149330.ref008]--[@pone.0149330.ref015]\]. While raised IgG4 concentrations alone are not diagnostic of IgG4-RD because both sensitivity and specificity are not optimal \[[@pone.0149330.ref011],[@pone.0149330.ref016]--[@pone.0149330.ref020]\], they nevertheless constitute one                       114 (66.5--452)[\*\*](#t003fn003){ref-type="table-fn"}    0.19 (0.11--0.34)[\*\*](#t003fn003){ref-type="table-fn"}

same population \[[@pone.0149330.ref028]\]. Previous studies also reported higher IgG4 concentrations in males \[[@pone.0149330.ref006],[@pone.0149330.ref007]\]. However, decreasing IgG4 concentrations with age have been not reported previously. Moreover, a non-significant trend to increasing IgG4 concentrations with ageing was reported in some studies \[[@pone.0149330.ref007]\], which included fewer individuals from a narrower age range than the present study. In our experience, the decrease in IgG4 concentrations with age was significant and independent of covariates. The ratio of serum IgG4 to total IgG (IgG4/IgG) showed a similar relationship with age and sex to that shown by IgG4 alone. The relationship of the IgG4/IgG ratio with these demographic variables was even more evident than that of IgG4 alone, probably because IgG4 and total IgG tend to display opposite associations with age and sex. Such sex-and-agedifferences may be particularly important when interpreting IgG4 concentrations in diseases that predominate in specific demographic subsets, such as IgG4-RD, which predominates in males and in individuals older than 60 years \[[@pone.0149330.ref011],[@pone.0149330.ref012],[@pone.0149330.ref020]\]. Accordingly, future studies conducted to establish IgG4 reference values should take age and sex changes into account.

Serum IgG4 concentrations were not significantly influenced by common lifestyle factors, such as alcohol consumption and smoking. This is in contrast with serum IgA and total IgG concentrations, which are respectively increased and decreased in alcohol consumers \[[@pone.0149330.ref028]\]. Likewise, there was no significant association between common metabolic abnormalities (obesity and the related metabolic syndrome) and IgG4 concentrations. Both obesity and metabolic syndrome are low-grade inflammatory disorders \[[@pone.0149330.ref037]\] that were found to be associated with increased IL-6 and IgA values in


was only assessed by review of clinical records. Serum IgG4 was significantly correlated neither with blood eosinophil counts nor with serum tryptase, a marker of mast cell burden or mast cell activation \[[@pone.0149330.ref032]\].

The strengths of the study include its: population-based design, random sampling and wide age range of participants; use of a reliable, standard method for IgG4 determination; long-term follow-up; and attempt to reduce confounding by controlling for a number of common factors. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no previous studies of a similar nature conducted on a general population. With regard to external validity, it should be noted that all participants were Caucasians and that many cases of IgG4-RD (autoimmune pancreatitis, in particular) have been reported in Asian populations \[[@pone.0149330.ref014],[@pone.0149330.ref015],[@pone.0149330.ref018],[@pone.0149330.ref020]\].

The problem with the fictional analogy posited by "Anonymous... 5:54 AM" is that in 1962, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was waging his war against the atheistic Communists; and the Catholic Church was not trying to establish a worldwide Caliphate, under black and/or green banners with writing that looks like snakes, bugs and stick figures on them.

But enough of all this silly talk, everybody should know that if the problems were similar, and JFK had such a despicable meeting in the White House, as the one described by "Anonymous... 5:54 AM" above; as a fan of and moderator of a blog that pays homage to Ayn Rand, I would haveQ:

How to restrict merging specific branch into other branches in Gitlab?

Is there a way to restrict merging from a specific branch into other branches? Allow me to explain:
I have a 'testing' branch and a 'master' branch in Gitlab. The team creates feature branches, merges them into 'testing' for approval and then merge the feature branch into 'master' once approved.
Sometimes, it can take months to get approval of some features, and therefore code is sat in the 'testing' branch for a while. Meanwhile, another feature branch may try to merge into 'testing' and conflicts will arise. This is expected, however, we are only human, and occasionally someone may accidentally merge 'testing' into their feature branch when handling the conflict, which is obviously wrong. Instead, we should switch to 'testing'

2. Description of the Related Art
An OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation scheme is one of multicarrier communication schemes that can realize the high-speed data transmission and are robust in the multipath environment. This OFDM modulation scheme has been used in the wireless standards such as IEEE802.11a/g and HIPERLAN/2. The burst signals in such a wireless LAN are generally transmitted via a time-varying channel environment and are also subject to the effect of frequency selective fading. Hence, a receiving


apparatus generally carries out the channel estimation dynamically.
In order for the receiving apparatus to carry out the channel estimation, two kinds of known signals are provided within a burst signal. One is the known signal, provided for all carries in the beginning of the burst signal, which is the so-called preamble or training signal. The other one is the known signal, provided for part of carriers in the data area of the burst signal, which is the so-called pilot signal (See Reference (1) in the following Related Art List, for instance).ASSIGNMENT 13: The high cost of health care

(WEAU) -- Why is the cost of healthcare so high? It's a question many patients and even doctors are asking.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says health care spending is projected to grow from $2.8 trillion in 2012 to $4.8 trillion by 2021. That makes the U.S. health care system the most expensive in the world.

convicted of any aggravated felony. The definition of "aggravated felony" was retroactively expanded to include dozens more offenses, including misdemeanor and low-level felony offenses. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43). The practical effect of the repeal of § 212(c) relief, in conjunction with several other statutory amendments, is that a far larger number of immigrants are now removable under the new law, while a much smaller number are eligible for any form of relief from removal.

19
In INS v. St. Cyr, 533 U.S. at 326, 121 S.Ct. 2271, the Supreme Court held that discretionary relief under former § 212(c) "remains available for aliens . . . whose convictions were obtained through plea agreements and who . . . would have been eligible for § 212(c) relief at the time ofis less than the five years necessary to disqualify an alien from § 212(c) relief. Accordingly, Ponnapula reasonably believed that, even if he were convicted of a felony after trial, he would still likely be eligible for hardship relief from deportation pursuant to former § 212(c). In reliance on this advice, Ponnapula decided to turn down the misdemeanor offer and proceeded to trial. He was convicted of both counts in the indictment and sentenced to the minimum term of imprisonment — one to three years.

22
After Ponnapula was allowed out of prison on work release, the INS filed a detainer and warrant for a removal hearing. At the conclusion of a hearing, an immigration judge found Ponnapula removable from the United States. On appeal, the BIA affirmed, holding that

Second, we observed that the Rankine passage cited above discussing a detrimental change in position appears to require actual reliance by the party seeking to avoid retroactive application despite the fact that the Supreme Court has never required actual reliance in any case in the Landgraf line.

WHAT’S NOT HAPPENING AT THE PARIS CLIMATE CONFERENCE, REAL CLOTHES FOR THE EMPEROR AND FACING GLOBAL WARMING HONESTLY

posted by David Pike | 30sc
December 04, 2015

In 2013, Professor Kevin Anderson made an earth-shaking video you will not hear discussed at the Paris Climate Conference. This is because the Paris Climate Conference appears to have been co-opted by the fossil fuel industries’ powerful agenda-stealing capabilities and their global media control.

It is bitter testament that most of the global population still believes the “naked emperor” falsehoods the fossil fuel industry is trying to sell us, while empirical evidence proves the dangers of global warming are quite well-dressed.

Through its media control, the fossil fuel industry wants us to be misdirected toward a gargantuan red herring, which is the Paris Climate Conference statedtoo non-productive. If Bob does this venting on a regular basis, I would start asking Bob big picture questions. “Bob, I noticed that you have been in here every day this week with something that is bothering you. I was wondering why, is there an underlying issue you would like to discuss?”

I would also take a good look at his complaints to see what common threads I can find. Banking off of your example here, Bob’s complaint is that people are unprepared. Well, this happens and it’s almost unavoidable. You will encounter unprepared people as you go about your workday. If Bob’s complaints boil down to something that is just a part of work life, I would try to coach him about work life. If he proved to


also say, “Just because there is a rule or a policy does not mean people will follow it or even be aware of such rule or policy.”

What kind of problems?
If the problem is Jane isn’t doing her job and getting me the information I need to do my job then saying someone should talk to her is probably fine, it might not be his job at this point (based on if he’s already said, hey, I need the stuff).
I guess the question here is, is the solution inside his …job description/duties/whatever. Identifying, for you and him, what is within his scope to fix. (It’s really loud at my desk. Can do: wear headphones, ask coworkers to be quiet when they get animated Can’t do: fire everyone who makesnoise, only work nights)

Ah recently I’ve had feedback that ‘often when you email you tell me the right answer!’ from my line manager, because I try to do this, I’m still relatively new in post and I’m still not sure how much freedom I have (and for that matter what the right answer is!). It’s really frustrating, but probably not the worst problem in the world…

This is a thing that people have to weigh in the surrounding context. Does it make sense to expect the subordinate to come up with a solution? Does the employee have the experience, background info, authority, ability and resources to 1) develop a solution and 2) implement that solution.

FIG. 2 shows one example of a trench transistor as described in the published applications referenced above. Here insulated polysilicon gate electrodes 230 are present in the upper parts of trenches 120, and the semiconductor structure near the front surface includes a p-type body region 240 which is contacted by a p+ body contact diffusion 242, as well as an n+ source region 244. Positive permanent charge 124 is present near the trench sidewalls, and provides improved charge balancing when the epitaxial layer 112 is depleted underNumerous studies have shown acute alterations in left ventricular function and morphology after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but long-term changes occurring in chronic survivors have not been documented. This study assesses the long-term effects of CPB in combination with popular methods of myocardial protection. Thirty-seven dogs were placed on CPB for 100 minutes using a bubble oxygenator without hemodilution, maintaining mean aortic pressure at 80 mm. Hg. The left ventricle was vented. The animals were divided into three groups: 1. Normothermic anoxic arrest for 60 minutes (aortic occlusion). 2. Continuous coronary perfusion with an empty, beating heart for 60 min. at 35 degrees C. 3. Hypothermic anoxic arrest (aortic occlusion) for 60 min. with topical cold saline lavage (4 degrees C).


while wearing prisms (R-PA) or plain glasses (control).

Visuomotor adaptation task {#sec004}
--------------------------

Participants in the R-PA group wore glasses mounted with prism lenses with a 10° rightward deviation, while the control group wore plain glasses. Both groups were instructed to point with their right index finger at two targets located in the right or left side of the participants (14° on the right or on the left of the participants' mid-line) during three minutes corresponding to approximately 150 pointing \[[@pone.0234382.ref031],[@pone.0234382.ref049]\]. Subjects did not see the first half of the pointing movements. Experimenter indicated verbally to the subjects which target they had to point. To maintain subjects attentive to the pointing movements, the experimenter varied the pace of his verbal indications and encourage the subjects to do quick movements. After theabove 500 fibers were considered as noise, the stopping criteria was an angle above 60°. We then generated the individual structural connectivity matrices with the function integrated in the connectome mapper \[[@pone.0234382.ref056]\].

Computation of functional connectivity matrices {#sec008}
-----------------------------------------------

The resting state connectivity matrix of each subject and timepoint was computed with the connectome mapper and Matlab as follows. T1-weighted segmentation and parcellation used the same settings as for DSI data. We registered resting state fMRI volumes to T1 data and corrected head motions with FLIRT \[[@pone.0234382.ref054],[@pone.0234382.ref055]\]. Then we conducted a slice timing correction to temporally realign the slices of each resting state fMRI volume. A nuisance regression was computed using linear regression with the average signal of white matter and cerebrospinal fluid. To address thermal effects, we conducted a polynomial


Yeo and colleagues \[[@pone.0234382.ref060]\]. After parcellating the cortex into 129 regions of interest (whose mean surface area was 18 cm^2^, SD 7.5cm^2^) \[[@pone.0234382.ref053]\], we have identified regions of interest belonging to the attentional networks \[[@pone.0234382.ref060]\]. VAN consisted of 19 ROIs, 10 in the right and 9 in the left hemisphere, of which three were in the right and two in the left inferior parietal lobule respectively; the average surface area was 18.5 cm^2^ (SD 6.5cm^2^). DAN consisted of 6 ROIs, three in each hemisphere, with an average surface area of 18.5 cm^2^ (SD 3.7cm^2^).

Network science approach was applied to the connectivity analysis of VAN and DAN. For each network, subject and timepoint separately, we determined measures of functional connectivity matrices as defined in the brain connectivity toolbox ofinteraction Group x Timepoint.

Discussion {#sec019}
==========

Our results indicate that a brief exposure to R-PA induces changes in resting-state connectivity that is primarily present within VAN and that is compatible with a decrease in modularity.

R-PA-induced reorganization of the attentional system {#sec020}

A series of influential studies have documented the effect of R-PA on visuo-motor plasticity and the ensuing modulation of the attentional system \[[@pone.0234382.ref061]--[@pone.0234382.ref063]\]. Changes in resting state connectivity, as induced by a brief exposure to R-PA, have been demonstrated in normal subjects with different methodological approaches. Seed-based connectivity analysis demonstrated a decrease of connectivity between the posterior and anterior parts of DAN in the right hemisphere \[[@pone.0234382.ref033]\]. Comparison of global connectivity of individual nodes highlighted a decrease of connectivity of partsa used Porsche Boxster or MB SLK Class? I'd suggest a convertible if you want something different from the 4-doors, I love my 911 and I've decided that I'm keeping it. The thrill of letting the top down and just cruising in unbeatable in my opinion.

How about a Corvette coupe or convertible, the Z06's are nice but the insurance is premium and you can't let the top down. And of course they'll cost more than a base 'Vette coupe.

Just my suggestions though...

Some may not agree with this, but how about an E46 M3? An 02-03 used M3 is about the same price as a used '03 Z06.

Yeah, an LS2 in a FWD Northstar deville, right! And my 4.9 is underrated, it's not 200hp, it's really 375..does 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and has a top speed of 167.... Right...

But speaking of hot rod deVilles, Adam, how about a 472/500 in a '83 Coupe deVille?! That would be just what you're looking for! A high performance coupe! And, you can mod the suspension so it handles like a Trans Am!

That would be the ultimate sleeper!

We use this data type to make state-of-the-art [GroupBy]{} operators reproducible, but this approach incurs a slowdown between compared to the same operator using conventional database number formats. We thus explore how to modify existing [GroupBy]{} algorithms to make them bit"-reproducible *and* efficient. By using vectorized summation on batches and carefully balancing batch size, cache footprint, and preprocessing costs, we are able to reduce the slowdown due to reproducibility to a factor between of aggregation in isolation and to a mere of end-to-end query performance even on aggregation-intensive queries in MonetDB. We thereby provide a solid basis for supporting more reproducible operations directly in relational engines.

Introduction
============

The continued progress of all areas of computer science has led to digitization and automation of many everyday processes. In particular, algorithms are responsible for making decisions in an increasing number of commonplace situations [@FederalTradeCommission2016]. Consequently—and understandably—, society has started to demand accountability from the algorithms by which it is affected.


a floating"-point representation.

Arbitrary-precision operations.

:   It is possible to push the limits of fixed-point arithmetic by using high-precision or even arbitrary-precision operations in software. Examples implementing this approach include the GNU MPFR Library [@MPFR], the BigDecimal class of Java [@JavaBigDecimal], and numeric data types offered by some database systems (such as PostgreSQL). However, this not only requires many hardware instructions for each arithmetic operation, but also variable-width storage, which is much more difficult to handle than the fixed-width built-in types. Similar arguments apply to *unums* [@JohnGustafson2015].

Reproducible Accurate Sum {#sec:reproducible-summation}
=========================

In this section, we explain an algorithm that solves the problem of reproducible floating-point summation where all inputs are summed up to produce a *single* number (i.e., aggregation *without* grouping). For the sake of exposition, we develop the algorithm in three iterationshigher accuracy is needed, an arbitrary number of levels $L$ can be used. The value $W$ expressing the logarithm of the ratio of two consecutive extractors $a^{(l)},
a^{(l+1)}$ is bounded by $m-2$ and it affects the result (the higher, the more accurate) and the cost (the higher, the slower) of the algorithm. Good choices are 18 and 40 for single and double precision respectively and we use these values in this work.

So far, the extractors $a$ are never assumed to be powers of two. The example in Figure \[fig:error-free-transformation\] shows a power of two as the extractor, but this does not necessarily have to be the case. The only important factor is that the exponent of the extractor never changes, nor do the intermediate results of the error-free transformation. For


shows the speedup of our algorithm with summation buffers compared to the naïve approach without them. In particular for small data sets, the speedup is considerable (between factor 2 and more than 5 for the shown configurations and up to factor 6 for the omitted $\text{\texttt{L}}=4$). As expected, it is the higher, the larger `L`. The speedup drops slightly below 1 for the largest number of groups, i.e., using summation buffers is actually slower than not using them. Since the difference is not large, we leave this as a small open problem.

**Conclusion:** Thanks to efficient partitioning routines, careful cache-management, and vectorized summation on summation buffers, the overhead of reproducibility on floating-point numbers can be reduced to a slowdown of about a factor of two.

End-to-End Query Performance

We integrated ourbased upon standards for evidence-based care in four public hospitals in Tehran. In 24 women who were admitted in normal labour, practices were observed until the end of the third stage of labour, to determine concordance with Iranian National Guidelines for Normal Childbirth. A further 100 postpartum woman were interviewed about their care during labour and childbirth in the early postpartum period before discharge from the postnatal ward. beneficial and lifesaving practices such as assessing mothers' well-being; removal of the placenta in the third stage of labour, as well as skin-to-skin contact and early initiating of breast feeding were recorded in most cases. However, the use of practices such as routine augmentation and induction of labour, fundal pressure, conducting routine episiotomy were noted. this evaluation study shows good

Perhaps France became complacent. Perhaps the interruptions disrupted Les Bleus' rhythm. But perhaps, too, the injury focused Portuguese minds. Suddenly the task was even clearer than it had been before: Keep France out and see what happened. There was no thought of trying to release Ronaldo, no danger of getting caught upfield. The focus was simple–keep the shape, keep France out.

Portugal did that, and did it superbly, and then it got the bonus of the goal Ronaldo had predicted. It's little wonder Ronaldo has reportedly decided to keep playing for Portugal for at least another two years. With a midfield that talented, many
