a Hopf algebra and let $M$ be an $A$-bimodule.

1.  $\operatorname{Hom}_{A^e}(A,M)=\operatorname{Hom}_A(k,L(M))=Z(M)$.

2.  If $S$ is bijective, $\operatorname{Ext}^i_{A^e}(A,M)=\operatorname{Ext}^i_A(k,L(M))$ for all $i$.

\(a) This was proved in [@GK Proposition p.197]. We offer a proof following the line of the proof of [@Mo Lemma 5.7.2(1)]. By definition, $$\operatorname{Hom}_{A^e}(A,M)\; =\; \{m\in M\;|\; am=ma, \forall \; a\in A\}
\; =\;  Z(M)$$ and $$\operatorname{Hom}_{A}(k,L(M))\; =\; \{m\in M\;|\; \sum a_1 mS(a_2)=\epsilon
(a)m, \forall \; a\in A\}.$$ If $\sum a_1 mS(a_2)=\epsilon(a) m$ for all $a\in A$, then $$am\;=\; \sum a_1 m \epsilon(a_2)\;=\; \sum a_1m S(a_2) a_3
\;=\; \sum \epsilon(a_1) ma_2\;=\; ma.$$ Conversely, if $am=ma$ for all $a\in A$, then $$\sum a_1 mS(a_2)\;=\; \sum a_1S(a_2) m\;=\; \epsilon(a)m.$$ Thus (a) follows.

\(b) Let $I$ be an injective $A^e$-resolution of $M$. Since $L$ is exact and preserves injective modules by Lemma \[xxsec2.2\](d), $L(I)$assume $S$ is bijective. In (d) and (e) we assume that the left integral of $A$ exists. In (b) to (e) we identify the spaces of homomorphisms with vector subspaces of $M$ or $A$ as appropriate.

1.  $k_{\pi}^\sigma \cong k_{\pi\sigma}$.

2.  $\operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf
    op}}(k,(^{S^{-2}}M^\sigma)')\; =\; Z^{\sigma}_A(M)$.

3.  $\operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}(k_{\phi \ast \pi}, (M^{\Xi[\phi]})') \; = \;
    \operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}(k_{\pi},(M)')$. As a consequence, $$\operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}(k_{\phi \ast \pi}, (^{S^{-2}}A^{\sigma\Xi[\phi]})')
    \; = \; \operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}(k_{\pi},(^{S^{-2}}A^{\sigma})').$$

4.  $\operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}({\textstyle \int}^l,(^{S^{-2}}A^\sigma)') \; = \;
    Z(A^{\sigma {{\xi}}^{-1}})$. That is, $$\operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}({\textstyle \int}^l,(A^\sigma)') \;= \;
    Z(A^{S^{-2}\sigma \; {{\xi}}^{-1}})
    \; \cong \; Z(A^{S^{-2}{{\xi}}^{-1}\sigma}).$$

5.  $\operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}({\textstyle \int}^l, (^{S^{-2}}A^{{{\xi}}} )') \; = \;
    Z(A) \; = \; \operatorname{Hom}_{A^{\sf op}}


left $A$-module structure of $R$ and the left $A^{\sf op}$-module structure of $R^{\sf op}$.

Earlier, Yekutieli [@Ye1] defined the concept of a *balanced* dualising complex over a graded algebra $A$; a balanced dualising complex over a connected graded algebra is rigid, [@VdB2 Proposition 8.2(2)]. If the algebra $A$ has a rigid dualising complex $R$, then $R$ is unique up to isomorphism, [@VdB2 Proposition 8.2].

Van den Bergh condition {#xxsec4.3}
-----------------------

Suppose that $A$ has finite injective dimension $d$. Then $A$ satisfies the [*Van den Bergh condition*]{} if $$\operatorname{Ext}^i_{A^e}(A,A^e)=\begin{cases} 0& i\neq d\\
U& i=d\end{cases}$$ where $U$ is an invertible $A$-bimodule.

For us, the Van den Bergh condition will constitute a key hypothesis in deriving Poincar$\acute{\mathrm{e}}$ duality between Hochschild cohomology and Hochschild homology; see Proposition \[xxsec5.1\]. Our definition is motivated by [@VdB2 Proposition 8.4], which we\nu^m=\epsilon S^{2m} {{\xi}}^m=
\epsilon {{\xi}}^m=\pi_0^m.$$ This means that the order $n$ of $\pi_0$ in $G(A^\circ)$ divides $m$.

On the other hand, $S^4=\gamma\circ \phi\circ {{\xi}}^{-1}$. Then, by (a), $$S^{4 n}=\gamma^n\circ \phi^n\circ {{\xi}}^{-n}=\gamma^n.$$ The final equality follows from the fact that $n$ is the order of ${{\xi}}$ and $\phi$. So $S^{4 n}$ is inner. This implies that $$\nu^{2 n}=(S^2 {{\xi}})^{2n}=S^{4n} {{\xi}}^{2n}=\gamma^n$$ which is inner. Hence $m$ divides $2n$. Therefore $m$ is either $n$ or $2n$.

\(d) Let $A_{ab}$ be the Hopf algebra $A/I,$ where $I$ is the Hopf ideal generated by elements $xy-yx$ for all $x,y\in A$. If $A$ has finitely many 1-dimensional modules, then $A_{ab}$ is finite dimensional. By [@LWZ Lemma 4.5], $io(A)$ divides $\dim
A_{ab}$, which is finite. The second statement follows from (b,c).

\(1) The conclusion of Proposition 4.6(d) is also valid


0
    \; \text{for some automorphism $\sigma$ of $A$}\}.$$

3.  We say that $A$ has *finite homological dimension* if there is an integer $d$ such that $H^i(A,-)=0$ for all $i>d$.

In the presence of the Van den Bergh condition introduced in (\[xxsec4.3\]) there is a beautiful twisted version of Poincar$\acute{\mathrm{e}}$ duality for $A$. An object $X$ in the derived category $\operatorname{{\sf D}}(A$-$\operatorname{{\sf Mod}})$ is called [*compact*]{} if the functor $\operatorname{Hom}_{\operatorname{{\sf D}}(A-\operatorname{{\sf Mod}})}(X,-)$ commutes with coproducts. It is well-known that $X$ is compact if and only $X$ is quasi-isomorphic to a perfect complex over $A$ (namely, $X$ is quasi-isomorphic to a bounded complex of finitely generated projective $A$-modules).

[@VdB1] Let $A$ be an algebra of finite homological dimension $d$. Suppose that the Van den Bergh condition holds, and thatleft $A^e$-modules.

The following corollary is an immediate consequence of Propositions \[xxsec5.1\] and \[xxsec4.5\] and the above lemma.

Let $A$ be a noetherian AS-regular Hopf algebra of global dimension $d$. Suppose that $S$ is bijective, and let ${{\xi}}$ be the winding automorphism induced by the left integral, (2.5.1). Then for every $A$-bimodule $M$ and for all $i$, $0 \leq i \leq d,$ $$H^i(A,M)=H_{d-i}(A,{^{{{\xi}}^{-1}S^{-2}}M}).$$

Proof of Theorem \[xxsec0.4\](b) {#xxsec5.3}
--------------------------------

Given an $A$-bimodule $M,$ we let $[A,M]$ denote the $k$-subspace of $M$ spanned by $\{am-ma : a\in A,\,m\in M\}$. It is easy to see that $$H_0(A,M) = A\otimes_{A^e} M=M/[A,M].$$ The following result follows from Corollary \[xxsec5.2\], and incorporates the remainder of Theorem \[xxsec0.4\](b).

Let $A$ be a noetherian AS-regular Hopf algebra of global dimension $d$ and having bijective antipode $S.$ Define $\nu= \xi S^2.$

1.


situation for each class of algebras in turn.

Finally, even when $\nu$ is not the identity, we sometimes nevertheless find that

\(4) $\operatorname{Hdim}A=\operatorname{Hcdim}A=\operatorname{gldim}A$.

We will discuss when this is true.

Noetherian PI Hopf algebras {#xxsec6.2}
---------------------------

Let $A$ be a noetherian affine PI Hopf algebra, and consider conditions (1) and (2) of (6.1). By Skryabin’s result Proposition \[xxsec1.1\](b), the antipode of $A$ is bijective, so (2) is satisfied. As for (1), first note that $A$ is Auslander-Gorenstein, of dimension $d$, say, by [@WZ1 Theorem 0.1]. By [@Br2 Theorem A] there is an irreducible left $A$-module $W$ for which $\operatorname{Ext}^d_A(W,A) \neq 0$, so that [@BG1 Lemma 1.11] confirms that $\operatorname{Ext}^d_A(V,A) \neq 0$ for every left irreducible $A$-module $V$. Hence [@SZ Theorem 3.10(iii)(a)] ensures that $A$ is (Krull) Cohen-Macaulay. Since the Krull and GK-dimensions coincide foraffine noetherian PI algebras by [@MR Proposition 13.10.6 and Theorem 6.4.8], we can conclude that $A$ is Auslander-Gorenstein and Cohen-Macaulay. Thus, by Lemma \[xxsec6.1\], $A$ is AS-Gorenstein.

The situation regarding (3) of (6.1) in the PI case is less straightforward, since it depends on the characteristic of $k.$ The enveloping algebra of the two-dimensional solvable non-abelian Lie algebra in positive characteristic demonstrates that diagonalisability of ${{\xi}}$ and thus of $\nu$ will fail in general for Hopf algebras which are finite modules over their centres. Nevertheless, in this setting $\nu$ has finite order up to an inner automorphism, and so Maschke’s theorem comes into play in characteristic 0. Here is the required result:

Let $A$ be a noetherian affine PI Hopf algebra of finite global dimension.

1.  The winding automorphism ${{\xi}}$


\leq i,j,t \leq n, \; t\neq j \rangle ,$$ as claimed.

\(b) Since left winding automorphisms of $\mathcal{O}_q (SL_n)$ take a constant value on each column of the matrix $(X_{ij})$, this follows from (a) and the definition of ${{\xi}}$.

\(c) This is immediate from (b) and Proposition \[xxsec6.5\](b), given that $$\begin{aligned}
 S^2(X_{ij})=
q^{2(i-j)}X_{ij},\end{aligned}$$ [@FRT Theorem 4]. When $q$ is indeterminate, $\mathcal{O}_q (SL_n)$ does not have any non-trivial units, [@Jo Lemma 9.1.14]. Hence $\nu$ is unique.

\(d) This is clear by using a monomial basis of $\mathcal{O}_q (SL_n)$.

\(a) The argument we’ve just used for Proposition \[xxsec6.6\] works also for ${\mathcal O}_q(GL_n)$, and one gets the identical conclusion.

\(b) The same method applies to the multiparameter quantum group ${\mathcal O}_{\lambda,p_{ij}}(GL_n)$, defined, for example, in [@BG2 I.2.2-I.2.4]. We leave the details to the interested reader.

\(c) Hadfieldif $C$ above is $R$ with *almost trivial* $G-$structure, where this means that the image of $G$ in $\mathrm{Aut}_R(R)$ is $\{\pm \mathrm{Id} \}.$

It’s clear that, for polycyclic-by-finite groups, Bieri’s results describe the shadow at the level of group (co)homology of the existence and nature of the dualising complex for $kG$. On the other hand it is straightforward to apply the results of [@Bi1], [@Bi2] to determine the Nakayama automorphism for $kG$. In order to do this, we define the *adjoint trace* $\texttt{T}$ of the polycyclic-by-finite group $G$ as follows. Fix a series $$\begin{aligned}
 1 = G_0 \subseteq G_1 \subseteq \cdots \subseteq G_n = G\end{aligned}$$ of normal subgroups $G_i$ of $G$ whose factors $G_i/G_{i-1}$ are either torsion-free Abelian, or finite. Provide each torsion-free factor $A_i = G_i/G_{i-1}$ with a

The observers are returning to the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson to plan their next steps after being denied entry at the Armyansk crossing point Saturday, the OSCE said.

The OSCE said shots were fired in the air when a group of people wearing balaclavas approached the checkpoint ahead of its party.

If the court were to adopt the claimants' reasoning, then the bankruptcy was the best thing that could ever happen to them. Bankruptcy cases are not supposed to create windfalls. In most cases, the granting of administrative priority means that one creditor is paid from funds which would otherwise go to other innocent creditors. Where a contractual obligation was created prepetition, along with a lot of other debt, it is difficult to articulate a reason why most creditors should receive less so that one creditor can be paid in full just because that creditor's claim was liquidated after bankruptcy. However, this case is unusual for two reasons. First, there are no innocent creditors. The

Reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic stem cell transplantation with donor T-cell depletion using alemtuzumab added to the graft ('Campath in the bag').
Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) has allowed the use of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) for haematological malignancies in elderly patients. A major problem of this type of transplantation is the high incidence of persisting chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The inclusion of alemtuzumab added to the graft ('Campath in the bag') for donor T-cell depletion offers an easy procedure to diminish the incidence of GvHD. Good engraftment is observed in most patients, whereas almost no GvHD is observed after transplantation. Most patients become mixed chimeric after transplantation, requiring donor lymphocyte infusion for conversion to full donor chimerism. Although subsequent acute and chronic GvHD is observedin 50-60% of patients, it is responsive to therapy in many patients, resulting in a low incidence of persisting chronic GvHD. AlloSCT with RIC and alemtuzumab-induced T-cell depletion offers a suitable platform for the investigation of novel cellular immunotherapy.

Everyone from fans to the media to various sports officials saw an injustice and forced the issue. There was no place for those in charge of figure skating to run and hide. Even the International Olympic Committee got into the act and agreed that change was necessary for the good of

It is important not to overlook these latter organisms in bioprospecting because they may represent novel sources of molecules (e.g., used in defense mechanisms) that are not found in their mature counterparts. Such metabolites have been reported in larvae from *Luffariella variabilis* \[[@B13-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], asteroid eggs \[[@B14-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], ascidian larvae \[[@B15-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], polychaetes \[[@B16-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], and bryozoan larvae \[[@B17-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], none of which were detected in their mature---non-planktonic---counterparts.

Mining for novel molecules in planktonic communities has already delivered a wide range of additional molecules of biomedical interest, including cyclopeptides from cyanobacteria which could be novel cancer drugs \[[@B27-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], domoic acid from red algae and diatoms for its anthelmintic activity \[[@B28-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], fucoxanthin from brown algae as a possible treatment for cancer \[[@B29-marinedrugs-11-04594]\] or to combat diabetes \[[@B30-marinedrugs-11-04594],[@B31-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], cephalosporin P from fungi as an antibacterial agent \[[@B32-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], diterpenoid diacylglycerol from planktonic molluscs as protein kinase C activators \[[@B33-marinedrugs-11-04594]\] and phlorotannins from kelp \[[@B34-marinedrugs-11-04594]\] and many more are in (pre-)clinical trial phases.

maintained in long-term (multi-generational) culture, such as foraminifera and radiolaria from the Rhizaria supergroup. There is therefore considerable scope for increasing the range of cultures available for targeted screening programs. Recent international collaborative initiatives to specifically address this issue include the European FP7 project Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MaCuMBA) \[[@B45-marinedrugs-11-04594]\].

For certain model microalgal species for which large-scale genomic data is available, genetic resources (e.g., insertion/deletion mutant collections) exist or are currently being generated. The best-known case of genetic transformation in microalgae is for the freshwater chlorophyte *Chlamydomonas rheinhardtii* \[[@B46-marinedrugs-11-04594]\], but techniques have also been successfully applied to marine microalgae such as the diatom *P*. *tricornutum* \[[@B47-marinedrugs-11-04594]\] and the prasinophyte *Ostreococcus tauri* \[[@B48-marinedrugs-11-04594]\]. Production of genetic resources is a highly specialized and extremely time-consumingdiversity. A major obstacle when bioprospecting for natural products is that many resources are wasted in re-purifying and re-characterizing non-novel compounds only to discover---after time and money have been invested in sampling, cultivation, extraction, fractionation, purification and structural elucidation---that these compounds are already among the 246,000 natural compounds that have already been described \[[@B64-marinedrugs-11-04594]\]. To avoid the re-isolation of already described bioactive compounds and to potentiate the screening efforts, it is crucial to identify these molecules in crude marine extracts as early as possible. This strategy is called "dereplication" and involves various separation and analytical techniques (e.g., high-resolution mass spectrometry \[[@B64-marinedrugs-11-04594]\]). The number of studies using dereplication methods is constantly growing. Various strategies can simplify the dereplication process: one of them is to optimize the choice of marine


more hard training is necessary. Also, your direction must become clear. Why do you eat every day? Why do you study Zen? Why do you sit? These are important questions..

I hope you are victorious over all demons. If you think, ten thousand demons appear. If you cut off all thinking, you will create the clear mind. Then you will get freedom, and no hinderance. I will now ask you a big question: ‘If a person comes to Sambosa smoking a cigarette, and blows smoke and drops ashes on the Buddha, and if you are a master, what can you do?’ I wish that you will soon attain enlightenment.

From a letter to the same student on the end of his retreat:

Here is a poem for you.

A great man goesdirection. Why are we living in this world? Direction is very important.

If your direction is clear, then your relationships will be clear, your outside job will be clear, your inside practicing job will be clear. If your direction is not clear, it means you are holding some opinion, condition, or situation. Then already you have lost what is important. Many people want to drink alcohol and have a good time. If this mind appears, you cannot have a correct relationship to your family or your inside and outside jobs. Your practicing will not be clear. Nothing will be clear.

Everybody has this mind: I like movies, ice cream, good restaurants. Single people want a girlfriend or boyfriend to have a good time with. We have a lot of this


Buddha, not dependent on God, not dependent on anything. That’s a very important point. Why?

This world is always changing, changing, changing; and these days it’s doing it very rapidly. Today many religious leaders are saying that the end of our world, even our earth, is near. Whenever the world is in rapid transition many new religious leaders appear. Many times their style is: “The end is near! You must believe me! If you don’t believe in me you will have a big problem and a lot of suffering. If you believe in me, then I will save you and you will be very happy: your business, your life, your family, everything will be OK.” Any religion can produce this kind of master, even Buddhism.

Zen does not use thismountains near Woodstock, New York is in a very good location, a place of special energy. Why is it a special energy place? And why, in the practice of Zen as everyday mind is special energy important?

Would you explain the mountain and water configuration around the house as you described it to us: the mountain to the right as the white tiger, the mountain to the left as the blue dragon, the mountain behind as the turtle, etc.?

Several of us will go visit the house next weekend to look at the inside more closely. Then we can start planning how and when to use it.

It’s very cold here, lots of snow and ice. I hope you are taking it easy in Los Angeles.

Yours,

Dear Louise,

How are you?


with no hindrance. It never lacks anything, anywhere. Sometimes it is a mountain, and sometimes it is a river, or trees, or rocks, clouds, humans, air, animals. But originally it is complete stillness. Even while taking form as everything in this universe, it is completely not moving. It takes these forms, but it is none of these forms and is not touched by these forms. Dharma-nature is the same as your true self. It cannot be understood with conceptual thinking. Books and learning cannot give you this point. One hundred Ph.D.’s will not help you attain it.

The One is in the many, the many are within the One.
The One is many, the many are One.
Numberless kalpas are the same as one moment.
One moment is the same as numberlesseven the Buddha’s speech cannot help your life if it does not completely become yours. Then where does universal substance come from? Where does universal energy appear? It comes from complete stillness. “The One is in the many, the many are within the One. The One is many, the many are One.” So everything has it. [Hits the table.] Everything comes from complete stillness.[Hits the table.] Everything comes from this one point. Sometimes this point is called universal substance or energy, or Buddha, or God, or consciousness, or holiness, or mind, or the Absolute. [Hits the table.] These are all names, and names come from thinking. But originally, this complete stillness point has no name and no form whatsoever, because it is before thinking. Yet it is present


the true path. You cut off all desires and leave behind the Small I. You attain emptiness and become the Nothing I. And when you leave even emptiness behind and find the Big I, you will attain the true path. We hope to save all people. So when all people are happy, we are happy; when all people are sad, we are sad. The same action, the same mind – this is the great Bodhisattva path.

So the Mind Sword Path is understanding your true self and attaining the true Dharma, for the sake of all people. But the Mind Sword Path is not the Mind Sword Path. The true mind sword is before thinking, so there are no words for it. When the Mind Sword Path and thewhole universe become one, this is the true Mind Sword Path.

Here is a poem for you:

You sharpen it for ten thousand years, then are able to thrust it through the bone of space.
All Buddhas and eminent teachers stick up their hands in surrender.
A cool breeze comes from the East and all clouds are blown away.
The moon with its circle of light shines over the whole universe.

Now that the aging figures that have so betrayed the Church and so contributed to the moral confusion of the last two or three generations of Catholics are reaching the age when perfunctory honors are bestowed, we had better prepare ourselves for more of this. But this move by a Jesuit university that was once Catholic in more than name only, is as mind-boggling as it is deeply disheartening.

would financial institutions think that are moving billions? The risk of using smart contracts versus the rewards have kept them away. However, that balance may be shifting.

Quantstamp is tackling this problem of security using a multi-layered approach. The first layer involves removing some of the human element. Solidity, the code used to write smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain is still relatively new, and there are only so many skilled coders out there. Go to the largest projects in the crypto space, nearly all of them are looking for coders experienced in Solidity. This lack of skilled labor leads to smart contracts being written in haste (many contracts to write and a lot of deadlines) or the hiring of people who are not as experienced as they shouldof security to ensure that smart contract adoption continues to grow at an exponential rate.

Q:

Adding characters to an array as integers in C

I am trying to add integers to an array in C. However I'm reading characters in from a file, so I have to convert them to integers first.
For some reason my program wont even start up now before it stops working. I think it is a conversion problem but I am new to C.
new edit code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (void)
{
    FILE* fp;
    const char filename[] = "test.txt";
    char ch;
    int num[1000];
    int j = 0;
    char temp;

    fp = fopen(filename, "r");
    if( fp == NULL )
    {
       printf( "Cannot open file: %s\n", filename);
        exit(8);
    }

    while(!feof(fp))
    {
        temp = fgetc(fp);
        num[j] = temp - '0';
        j++;
    }
    printf("First in the array is: %d,  last is; %d", num[0], num[999]);

    fclose(fp);

Someone to point me in the right direction would be great.

A:

I am rephrasing my entire answer after you added the contents of test.txt.
Instead of
while(!feof(fp))
{
    temp = fgetc(fp);
    num[j] = temp - '0';
    j++;
}

Change


to
while(!feof(fp)&& (j<1000))
{
    temp = fgetc(fp);
    if ( temp != EOF && ( temp>='0' && temp<='9') ) // To filter out non-numbers and also the last EOF
       num[j++] = temp - '0';

}

And instead of
printf("First in the array is: %d,  last is; %d", num[0], num[999]);

Change to
printf("First in the array is: %d,  last is; %d", num[0], num[j-1]); // j-1 so that it works even when there are less than 1000 numbers and to keep it generic

And your done!

White Allies in the Struggle for Racial Justice

This timely book offers the little-known stories of 18 white Americans from the 18th century to the present who broke with a racist culture to become allies in the struggle for racial justice. The point is not to portray these people as leaders or heroes of this ongoing struggle but to challenge the idea that racial justice is only a concern for people of color. Drick Boyd shows that there are and have been white people who took up this challenge, often at great risk--and that their example can offer instruction and inspiration to others.

At a time of renewed attention to the ongoing scourge of racial injustice in America, these stories are meant to motivate others to take action to oppose

Trailer park residents in California wine country had little time to escape before flames destroyed their homes.

Nancy Cook said Monday that her dogs alerted her to the wildfire that quickly came blowing over a hill early in the morning and ignited trees in the Journey’s End trailer park in Santa Rosa.

The fire is one of the most destructive of more than a dozen in the region.

Cook says she pounded on neighbors’ doors before fleeing with her husband, dogs and medications.

Kochunny Thampuran (born 5 June 1937) was an Indian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm off-break bowler who played for Travancore-Cochin. He was born in Thrippunithura.

Thampuran made a single first-class appearance for the team, during the 1956-57 Ranji Trophy season, against Andhra. From the lower order, he scored 11 runs in the first innings in which he batted, and a single run in the second, as Travancore-Cochin lost the match by a heavy margin.

I don’t think I would’ve been comfortable doing that without starting from Matsumoto. That kind of gave me an access point to writing this story. Like with starting from the side characters—I could go into the side characters from the point of view of having a main plot [as in SFSF#1], and then with point of view of having a main inspiration—which is Matsumoto—I can go into other things, too. But if I’d just started without Matsumoto, I don’t think SF would have a core.

So I think SFSF#2 is me kind of showing those stories to other people. But then around the time that I finished—after I finished all three of those zines—someone told me that Matsumoto is super-litigious. And I think what I did is exactly whatonly is space not smooth at a black hole horizon—at that point the laws of physics completely break down. Instead of an unobtrusive boundary, the scientists argue that there must actually be a sharp division they call a firewall. “The firewall is kind of a wall of energy—it could be the end of spacetime itself,” Polchinski says. “Anything hitting it would break up into its fundamental bits and effectively dissolve.” At first, many physicists strenuously objected to the bizarre idea of firewalls. “I tried very hard to get rid of them, but I don’t think it’s likely that will happen,” Bousso says. “I’ve decided that the most promising thing for me is to assume there are firewalls, and look into why they form.” Even the main authors of

The next task will be to write programs that meet Asimov's second law—that a robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the first law. The third law asks a robot to protect its own existence so long as that does not conflict with the first or second law. When robots are safe and aware of their surroundings, they will start to encroach on complicated, unstructured places such as offices and houses.

Only patients with all of (i) de novo HLA antibody production, (ii) continuous detection from peripheral blood, and (iii) positive urine protein test had a significantly higher serum creatinine than the others and demonstrated rapid deterioration of Cr (DeltaCr 1.26 mg/dL during 2 years). Negative change of HLA antibody stopped the increase of serum creatinine. The status of HLA antibody and urine protein provides useful information on graft prognosis. Although the tempo of graft injury is relatively slow, a yearly routine HLA antibody test for all patients and the attempt to reduce HLA antibody to negative levels is recommended, when HLA

The PI3Kγ isoform has also been reported to exert significant anti-apoptotic effects in neutrophils even under basal conditions [@pone.0045933-Yang1], [@pone.0045933-Xu1]. PI3Kδ contributes to neutrophil chemotactic responses [@pone.0045933-Sadhu1], their recruitment to inflammatory foci [@pone.0045933-Liu1], and to the human (but not murine) neutrophil respiratory burst [@pone.0045933-Condliffe1]. PI3Kβ has recently been shown to play a selective role downstream of neutrophil Fcγ receptors [@pone.0045933-Kulkarni1]. These PI3K isoforms consequently represent attractive therapeutic targets in inflammation and a number of inhibitors have already entered Phase I clinical trials.

Prevent component from re-rendering when property not used in render function React Redux

I am struggling with a component that re-renders.
I'm using Redux to manage my states. In a component, I'm using a property (isPlaying: bool) from my state with mapStateToProps in some methods of my component (class) except for the render function, and I use some action creators to dispatch a change for isPlaying. By the way, I am using isPlaying in another child component(Music Player) using connect(react-redux).
This is what I'm expecting:  When isPlaying change, the parent component doesn't re-renders, and the Music Bar re-render and I keep using isPlaying in my parent component's methods.
What's the problem:
The parent component re-renders even if I'm not using isPlaying in the render method.

size of the Milky Way. And although they can be devastating, you actually need to be pretty close to be affected. It has been calculated that every 5 million years or so, a gamma ray burst goes off close enough to affect life on Earth. In other words, there have been around 1,000 events since the Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago. So the odds of a nearby gamma ray burst aren’t zero, but they’re low enough that you really don’t have to worry about them. Unless you’re planning on living about 5 million years in some kind of gamma powered superbody.

can lead to an increasing disruption of long timescales that are restored after sleep. Experiments and modeling identify the intrusion of neuronal offline periods as a mechanism that disrupts the long timescales arising from reverberating cortical network activity. Our results provide novel mechanistic and functional links among behavioral manifestations of sleep, wake, and sleep deprivation and specific measurable changes in the network dynamics relevant for characterizing the brain's changing information-processing capabilities. They suggest a network-level function of sleep to reorganize cortical networks toward states governed by long timescales to ensure efficient information integration for the time awake. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Lack of sleep deteriorates several key cognitive functions, yet the neuronal underpinnings of these deficits have remained elusive. Cognitive capabilities are generally believed to benefit from a neural circuit'sits islands.

The Lenovo IdeaPad U310 comes in three colour schemes: dark slate gray with a silver-and-black interior, bright aqua blue with a white interior, and cherry-blossom pink with a white interior. Of course, the latter two colour schemes greatly reduce the resemblance between the U310 and the MacBook Pro--but our gray, silver, and black review model looks as if it wants nothing more than to be mistaken for Apple's flagship laptop.

Accordingly, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in classifying this property

Mastery {#Sec5}
-------

Individual sense of mastery was measured at wave six with an abbreviated version of the Pearlin Mastery Scale \[[@CR11]\]. This abbreviated mastery scale has previously shown reasonable reliability (*α* = 0.67) in a non-institutionalized sample \[[@CR19]\] and good reliability in individuals with a subclinical depression in the current study (*α* = 0.81) \[[@CR20]\]. In the current study, internal consistency was excellent with *α* = 0.91. The respondents were asked to rate how much they agreed with


five different statements on a five-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Negatively worded items were reversely coded prior to scoring, resulting in a score range 5--25, with higher scores indicating greater levels of mastery.

Diet {#Sec6}
----

Dietary intake was measured at wave six using a 238-item semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) with a reference period of 4 weeks \[[@CR21]\]. This FFQ was based on an existing validated Dutch FFQ \[[@CR22]\]. Overall diet quality was evaluated using an index of dietary adherence to the DASH diet, adapted from that of Fung et al \[[@CR23]\]. The index consists of eight dietary components (grains/grain products; vegetables; fruits; low-fat/fat-free dairy; red and processed meat; nuts/seeds/dry beans; dietary sodium; and foods high in added sugar). Unfortunately, the FFQ did not allowsaid to them, but can only speak as little as one or two words, either due to a stroke, aneurysm, head trauma, or other neurological damage to a part of the brain known as Broca's Area (an alternate term for the condition is Broca's Aphasia).

What are bumpstocks?

Since 1986, it has been relatively difficult for civilians to buy new, fully automatic weapons, which reload automatically and fire continuously as long as the trigger is depressed.

It is also illegal to modify the internal components of semi-automatic rifles - which typically manage about 60 aimed shots per minute - to make them fully automatic.

Gun owners can instead legally buy accessories to increase the rate of fire, like thebump stock.

Bump stocks harness a rifle's recoil, They replace the weapon's stock, which is held against the shoulder, and allow the rest of the rifle to slide back and forward with every shot despite having no mechanical parts or springs.

The motion makes the trigger collide with, or bump, the shooter's finger as long as they apply forward pressure with the non-shooting hand and rearward pressure with the shooting hand.

Administration officials said that the devices are not extremely common, but there are probably tens of thousands nationwide, US media reported.


is not expected to peak until sometime next year, so realistically we are looking at 3-5 years or more before housing prices start to improve.

I have been playing the market a bit lately, because it really wants to rally, but has no where to go. It is pretty easy to ride it up until it exhausts itself (where it is about now), and then get out and wait for it to drift back down and catch it's breath. I think the latest rally is the market pricing in the positive of healthinsurance. This is a double whammy that will continue to depress the opportunities for small businesses that create the vast majority of new jobs in this country. As long as this bill is hanging over the U.S. economy, there will be no recovery. Nobody will be starting new small businesses now unsure of how high taxes are going or if health insurance will be mandated. If it actually passes, small business job creation will crawl to a near stand still, and the economy will not recover. If, Obama’s priority was to fix the economy, he would put this bill on hold until the economy has recovered and the budget deficit has been removed (i.e. indefinitely). Continuing to push for this bill now is a major headwind against economic


time that is imposed for the evaluation of functions, their first or second order derivatives, and for matrix operations, computations that are usually required for most optimization algorithms. This computational burden is also worsened when MPC is implemented for a large-scale plant of interconnected subsystems, case where the dimension of the MPC problem is multiplied by the number of subsystems. For certain industries for which the manufacturing process is slow in nature, this computational time is not an issue.

However, multi-system applications have arisen where computing the input rapidly is essential for efficiency and stability. Control problems for networks of interconnected multi-agent systems such as traffic control [@c15], building anti-earthquake systems [@c21] , satellite formation flight [@c23], and wind turbine farms [@c19], have received plenty of interest in recentto solve the linear equations efficiently at each iterate. In [@c4] the authors propose a more efficient approach to linear algebra computations w.r.t the derivation given in [@c3]. Computational burden can be also overcome by distributing the necessary operations amongst different agents. To this purpose, the authors in [@NecJPC] examine a distributed approach to optimal control problems and appropriate optimization methods.

In this paper, we focus on extending these recent results on the computational time required for the control action for MPC problems with a special underlying structure arising in large-scale leader-follower systems, where the computational burden is distributed amongst the comprising subsystems, thus providing a certain independence that is usually required for these subsystems. In the first part of the paper, a stability analysis for leader-follower systems is


$0<\alpha<1$, then $\alpha
X_f^1\subseteq X_1$.

### Completing the construction of $X_f$

For the subsystems $i=2, \dots, M$ we require a different treatment. If we denote $\bar A^{i,i-1} x^{i-1}_t=w^i_t$, the dynamics for the remaining subsystems can be considered as: $$\label{rob2}
x^i_{t+1}= \bar A^{ii}x^i_t + w^i_t, \; \forall i=2, \cdots, M,$$ where $w^i_t$ can now be viewed as an unknown disturbance for this particular subsystem, where $w^i_t$ is bounded, i.e $w_t^i$ is in a set $\mathcal{W}$[^2]. We denote by $w(\cdot) \in \mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{W}}$ the sequence ${w_0, w_1,
\dots, w_k}$ of disturbances from the admissible set $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{W}}=\left \{ w(\cdot) | w_k \in \mathcal{W},
\; \forall k \in \mathbb{N} \right \}$.

\[robust1\] The set ${\cal O} \subseteq X$ is a robust positive invariant set for a system $x_{t+1}=Ax_t+w_t$, if starting from ${\cal O}$, the evolution of the system remains inthe scaling properties of the RPI sets detailed in [@Kol].

With these (robust) positive invariance and constraint satisfaction properties we are able to propose a constructive procedure for $X_{\text{f}}^i$ in a iterative manner, starting from the first subsystem and leading to an invariant set in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, as presented in the following algorithm:

1.  [compute $X_{\text{f}}^1$]{}

2.  for = $i=2:M$ = =\
    1. compute $\mathcal{W}^{i}= \bar A^{i,i-1}X_{\text{f}}^{i-1}$ ;\
    2. compute $X_{\text{f}}^i= RPI(X^i,\mathcal{W}^i)$ ;

3.  [find $0<\alpha <1$ such that $\alpha X_{\text{f}}^i\subset X_i, \forall i=1,\dots, M$]{}

Since for the leader-follower systems described in this paper the matrix ${\mathbf}{A+BK_d}$ is block lower-bidiagonal as well, we can use the procedure described above to compute a terminal set of the form $
X_{\text{f}} = \underset{i=1}{\overset{M}{{\large \Pi}}}
X_{\text{f}}^i$ that satisfies the properties

I am, but I don't think it has anything to do with it. I have been running an ESS tune now for many months with no problems at all. The only mods I have are the tune and an AFE filter...well wheels but those don't count. I have just been driving my car like a daily driver recently, nothing crazy.

Q:

How do I get child of a snap without knowing the key in firebase and firebase-admin

I have a queue in my database that looks like this:
server
  queue
    -RANDOM_ID_1234
      active: "true"
      text: "Some text"
    -RANDOM_ID_5678
      active: "false"
      text: "Another text"
    -RANDOM_ID_91011
      active: "false"
      text: "Text that does not matter"

I want to query and get the active item:
queueRef.orderByChild('active').equalTo('true').once('value', function(snap) {
  if (snap.exists()) {
    console.log(snap.val());
  }
});

console.log will return something like:
{
  -RANDOM_ID_1234: {
      active: "true"
      text:       final GoalType goalType,
                                         double[] startPoint)

the developer told the Telegraph: “To us this makes good sense and it was originally in the draft local plan.

“We need to get them to consider whether they will change their draft local plan and we will be pushing for this scheme as an option.

“We think they are making a mistake not choosing it and we will be working hard to get this put back into the local plan.”

To make the development possible, the current Walsgrave roundabout would be upgraded in a scheme, which Highways England has agreed to fund 50 per cent of the costs.

In order to remodel the roads to provide access to the new development, it is likely that there would be significant traffic disruption in this area, which is a key route forhop count. RPL
requires that all nodes in a network use a common Objective Function;
relaxing this requirement may be a subject of future study.
The nodes running RPL might use a number of metrics to describe a
link or a node [RFC6551] and make these metrics available for route
selection. RPL advertises metrics in RPL Destination Information
Object (DIO) messages with a Metric Container suboption. An
Objective Function can use these metrics to choose routes.
To decouple the details of an individual metric or Objective Function
from forwarding and routing, RPL describes routes through a value
called Rank. Rank, roughly speaking, corresponds to the distance
associated with a route. RPL defines how nodes decide on paths based
Gnawali & Levis Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 6719 MRHOF September 2012
on Rank and advertise their Rank. An Objective Function defines how
nodes calculate


in the
DIO sent by that neighbor. In case the Metric Container is
empty, ETX is the selected metric -- use the Rank advertised by
that neighbor as the second component. See Section 3.5 for
details on how an ETX metric is used in MRHOF.
A node SHOULD compute the path cost for the path through each
candidate neighbor reachable through an interface. If a node cannot
compute the path cost for the path through a candidate neighbor, the
node MUST NOT select the candidate neighbor as its preferred parent.
However, if the node cannot compute the path cost through any
neighbor, it may join the candidate neighbor as a Leaf, as described
above.
If the selected metric is a link metric and the metric of the link to
a neighbor is not available, the path cost for the path throughbe desirable, but it also
might be unintended; care is recommended.
With ETX as the selected metric, RPL's Rank advertisement rules can
require a DODAG Root to advertise a Rank higher than its
corresponding ETX value, as a DODAG Root advertises a Rank of
MinHopRankIncrease. Because all DODAG Roots within a DODAG Version
advertise the same Rank, this constant value typically does not
affect route selection. Nevertheless, it means that if a DODAG
Version has a MinHopRankIncrease of M and a path has an advertised
ETX of E, then the actual ETX of the path is likely closer to a value
of E-M than a value of E.
6.2. Device Monitoring
A MRHOF implementation should provide an interface for monitoring its
operation. At a minimum, the information provided should include:
DAG information as specified in Section 6.3.1 of [RFC6550],
including the DODAGID, the
