T5, in the pixel 23, the transistor TR1 is maintained on and the transistor TR3 is turned on, as shown in FIG. 26. Thus, in the pixel 23, the drain-source current Ids flows from the transistor TR2 in accordance with the gate-source voltage Vgs, which corresponds to the potential difference across the signal-level holding capacitor C1. At this time, if the source voltage Vs of the transistor TR2 is smaller than a voltage obtained by adding the threshold voltage Vthel of the organic EL element 8 and the cathode voltage Vcat and the current flowing to the organic EL element 8 is small, the source voltage Vs of the transistor TR2 gradually increases from the voltage Vs0 in accordance with the drain-source voltage Ids of the transistor TR2,Population pharmacokinetic study of delayed methotrexate excretion in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia .
To investigate the population pharmacokinetics of delayed methotrexate (MTX) excretion in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A total of 1,659 plasma concentration samples of MTX from 190 patients with 1 - 4 courses (plasma concentrations > 0.1 µmol/L) were collected in this study. The data analysis was performed using Phoenix NLME 1.3 software. The covariates included age, body surface area (BSA), body weight, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL), and serum creatinine (SCr). The final model was validated by bootstrap resampling procedures (1,000 runs) and visual predictive check (VPC) method. The data were best described by a two-compartment linear pharmacokinetic model.

deterministic case [@Hendricks1988] and in the stochastic case [@Steg2015; @Georgiadis2019]. In contrast, the known examples of the game of variable concession exhibit singular control equilibria with no time delay. One example is Cournot competition under declining demand when the firms can reduce the production capacity at a variable cost [@Ghemawat1990]. The equilibrium strategy is to immediately reduce the capacity to the myopic Cournot equilibrium level through singular control. The stochastic generalization of the Cournot model also exhibits similar characteristics [@Steg2012].

The paper also contributes to the literature on games of contribution to public goods. @Fershtman1991 examine a dynamic game of voluntary contribution to public goods. In their model, players continuously contribute to the stock of public goods over time. They obtain an equilibrium using a differential game approach andwork on game-theoretic study of singular control problems has emerged. @Steg2012 examines Cournot competition that leads to a singular control equilibrium. @Kwon2015 examines a singular control game in the context of a market share competition in which a player’s control is to negate his opponent’s payoff. @Ferrari2017 also analyze a model that incorporates game-theoretic singular control, but the model has a more complex structure as the players make consumption and contribution decisions at the same time.

The paper is organized as follows. In Section \[sec:VariableContribution\], we examine a game of variable contribution to the common good and show that it yields a regular control strategy equilibrium. In Section \[sec:Impact-of-Stoch\], we examine the impact of stochasticity and asymmetry between the players. In particular, we show that asymmetry eliminates the regular


$V'(x)-k\le0$ for all $x\in I$, and (ii) $[\mathcal{A}V(x)+\pi(x)][V'(x)-k]=0$ for all $x\in I$. Then $V(x)$ coincides with the optimal solution $\sup_{\xi\in\Xi}V(x;\xi)$. The proof of this sufficient condition is provided, for example, by @Oksendal2005 and @Lon2011, and so we will not reproduce it here.

\[lemma:OptSol\] Under Assumptions \[assump:mu-sigma\]\[assump:qi\], there exist a threshold $\theta\in I$ and a coefficient $A$ such that the optimal solution $V(\cdot)\in C^{2}(I)$ is given as follows:

$$V(x)=\begin{cases}
k(x-\theta)+V(\theta) & \text{for}\;x<\theta\\
(R\pi)(x)+A\phi(x) & \text{for}\;x\ge\theta
\end{cases}\:.\label{eq:Vx}$$

Next, we provide the intuition behind the solution through a numerical example.

*Example 1*: We consider a problem of constant $\mu(x)=\mu<0$ and $\sigma(x)=\sigma>0$ and the flow profit $\pi(x)=1-\exp(\nu x)$ with $\nu<0$ that satisfies $\frac{1}{2}\sigma^{2}\nu^{2}+\mu\nu-r<0$. Then it is straightforward to verify that $\phi(x)=\exp(\gamma_{-}x)$ and $\psi(x)=\exp(\gamma_{+}x)$ where $$\gamma_{\pm}=\frac{1}{\sigma^{2}}(-\mu\pm\sqrt{\mu^{2}+2r\sigma^{2}})\:,$$ and $$\begin{aligned}
(R\pi)(x) & =\frac{1}{r}-\frac{\exp(\nu x)}{\beta}\:,\\
\text{where }\quad\beta & =r-\mu\nu-\frac{1}{2}\sigma^{2}\nu^{2}\:.\end{aligned}$$ Assumptions \[assump:mu-sigma\]\[assump:qi\] are satisfied in thisto $\theta$ at time $0$, after which $Z_{t}$ is continuous. The threshold $\theta$ functions as a reflecting boundary as shown in Fig. \[fig:Single-decision-maker\]. In the region below $\theta$, the value function is linear in $x$ with the slope $k$, as illustrated in the figure as well as expressed in (\[eq:Vx\]). This is because $(a,\theta)$ is the singular control region in which it costs exactly $k$ to boost $Z$ by a unit.

Verification Theorem for Best Responses \[subsec:Game\]
-------------------------------------------------------

Next, we return to the game-theoretic model introduced in the beginning of the section. Our goal is to construct the verification theorem for best responses, which will then be used to construct MPEs in the remainder of the paper.

In a conventional solution to the singular control problem as in Section \[subsec:Single\], the optimal


1 just as in the single decision maker’s case, and it is not plagued by the gradualism of the regular control MPE of Section \[subsec:Symmetric-Eq\]. Therefore, we conclude that asymmetry reduces inefficiency.

Discussions \[sec:Discussions\]
===============================

Dimensionality of the State Variable
------------------------------------

In contrast to the singular control equilibria obtained in, for example, @Ghemawat1990, @Steg2012, @Battaglini2014, @Ferrari2017, and Appendix \[sec:R=000026D-Game\], a regular control equilibrium arises in our model. We speculate that we obtain a contrasting result because of the difference in the dimensionality of the state variable. In the model that we study, the state variable $Z_{t}$ is one-dimensional; the control variables $\xi_{it}$ and $\xi_{jt}$ only add to $Z_{t}$, so they are not independent state variables that stand alone. In contrast, in the examples from the literature as well as the R&D spillover gamehave $V'(x)=k$ by the form of $V(\cdot)$. Also note that $V''(\theta)=0$, $V'(\theta)=k$ and $\mathcal{A}V(x)+\pi(x)=0$ for $x>\theta$ so that $$\lim_{x\downarrow\theta}\mathcal{A}V(x)+\pi(x)=\mu(\theta)k-rV(\theta)+\pi(\theta)=0\:.$$ For any $x<\theta$, we have $$\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{A}V(x)+\pi(x)-[\lim_{y\downarrow\theta}\mathcal{A}V(y)+\pi(y)] & =\mu(x)k-rV(x)+\pi(x)-[\mu(\theta)k-rV(\theta)+\pi(\theta)]\\
 & =q(x)-q(\theta)<0\end{aligned}$$ where the inequality is from the fact that $q(\cdot)$ increases in the interval $(a,\theta)$. Thus, $\mathcal{A}V(x)+\pi(x)<0$ for $x<\theta$.

\(ii) We just showed that $\mathcal{A}V(x)+\pi(x)=0$ for $x\ge\theta$ and $V'(x)-k=0$ for $x\le\theta$.

**Proof of Theorem \[thm:verif\]**: To prove the theorem, it is sufficient to show that $U(x)=V_{i}(x;\xi_{i}^{*},\xi_{j})\ge V_{i}(x;\xi_{i},\xi_{j})$ for any arbitrary strategy $\xi_{i}$ of player $i$ that satisfies $d\xi_{it}=u_{i}(t,Z_{t})+d\xi_{it}^{c}+\Delta\xi_{it}$. First, it is straightforward to verify that if $\xi_{i}^{*}$ is the best response, player $i$ should not expend any cost to control $Z$ within $D_{j}$ because player $j$ is already doing so in that region. Thus, one necessary condition for the payoff function of


obtain the best response of firm 1. Let $\lambda_{1,0}$ denote the initial effort level of firm 1. Given firm 2’s strategy, firm 1’s best response should be to similarly boost the effort level to some value $\lambda$ and keep it until the end of the game because of the Markov property of the Poisson process.

As a first step, we compute the following: $$\begin{aligned}
\mathbb{E}[\exp(-r\hat{T}_{1}\wedge\hat{T}_{2})]= & \int_{0}^{\infty}\lambda_{2}e^{-\lambda_{2}t_{2}}dt_{2}\int_{0}^{t_{2}}\lambda e^{-\lambda t_{1}}dt_{1}e^{-rt_{1}}\\
 & +\int_{0}^{\infty}\lambda e^{-\lambda t_{1}}dt_{1}\int_{0}^{t_{1}}\lambda_{2}e^{-\lambda_{2}t_{2}}dt_{2}e^{-rt_{2}}\\
= & \frac{\lambda+\lambda_{2}}{r+\lambda+\lambda_{2}}\:.\end{aligned}$$ From () we obtain $$V_{1}(\Lambda)=-\frac{c}{2r}\lambda^{2}+(R+\frac{c}{2r}\lambda^{2})\frac{\lambda+\lambda_{2}}{r+\lambda+\lambda_{2}}-k(\lambda-\lambda_{1,0})\:.$$ It follows that the first derivative is $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{\partial V_{1}(\Lambda)}{\partial\lambda} & =\frac{\frac{c}{2}\lambda^{2}+Rr-c\lambda(r+\lambda+\lambda_{2})}{(r+\lambda+\lambda_{2})^{2}}-k\\
 & =\frac{Rr-c\lambda(r+\lambda/2+\lambda_{2})-k(r+\lambda+\lambda_{2})^{2}}{(r+\lambda+\lambda_{2})^{2}}\:.\end{aligned}$$ Note that the numerator of the second line is a concave function of $\lambda$, so the maximum value of $V_{1}(\Lambda)$ is achieved by a unique value of $\lambda$ that satisfies the first-order condition $\partial V_{1}(\Lambda)/\partial\lambda=0$.

this. With aspects, you simply can annotate a manager interface method with e.g. @LogOnSuccess.
public class UserManager{
    ...
    @LogOnSuccess
    public UserDto createUser(UserDto newUser)
        return userManager.createUser(newUser);

Using a @AfterReturning point cut will only invoke a custom action bound to the annotation, if no exception occurred during the method call. This way you only log successful requests. Also it's very easy to use and highly readable.

Penn Scores An Upset of Villanova 104 Years in The Making

In the summer of 2010, just prior to the start of a new college football season, I wrote a feature story for CBS on the success of the Philadelphia’s Div. I college football programs: Penn, Temple and Villanova.

Temple was coming off its first bowl season in 30 years, Penn had won the Ivy League championship, but Villanova set the City of Brotherly Love’s benchmark with the 2009 FCS national championship.

The 2009 Villanova team beat both Temple and Penn, further lengthening the shadow the Wildcats cast on the city. It was a familiar spot for Penn, as then-head coach Al Bagnoli alluded when I interviewed him.

““We respect Villanova’s program tremendously,” he said. “[2009] we played them well. Now the


Laparoscopic-assisted excision of a solitary cecal ulcer.
Laparoscopic-assisted excision of a solitary cecal ulcer that presented with right lower quadrant pain in a 61-year-old male is described. The patient benefited from complete surgical excision of his disease and he experienced a rapid postoperative recovery similar to that of other laparoscopic procedures, while foregoing the postoperative discomfort and morbidity associated with celiotomy. Excision of a complicated, benign cecal ulcer requires minimal bowel resection and is particularly amenable to laparoscopic assistance for minimally invasive access. For cecal ulcers requiring operative intervention, laparoscopy offers an alternative to open celiotomy.the Realm:

is the case for a mirror in electromagnetism, for instance. A further complication which makes the problem difficult to tackle arises from the absence of a reliable local definition for gravitational radiation in general relativity. Ultimately, this problem is related to the fact that the initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) we are considering appears as a means for having an artificial boundary for numerical calculations, and not an IBVP with physical boundaries which would, presumably, dictate the correct boundary conditions. This problem is, in fact, connected to two other ones: the first one is that in most formulations some of the constraint variables, that is, the quantities which yield the constraint equations when set to zero, have nonzero propagation speeds with respect to the boundary. In particular, there arewhich a unique solution exists on a suitable time interval $[0,T]$ is called [*strongly well posed*]{}.

A trivial example of a strongly stable problem is a symmetric hyperbolic system for which all the fields are incoming at the boundary, since in this case the values for all the fields must be specified there. More generally, a symmetric hyperbolic system with non-characteristic boundary surface and maximal dissipative boundary conditions[@kF58; @pLrP60] is strongly stable. A general theory for strictly hyperbolic first-order systems which allows to determine which boundary conditions lead to a strongly stable problem by purely algebraic methods was developed by Kreiss[@hK70].

If a problem satisfies the same properties as in Def. \[Def:StrongStab\] with the difference that the constant ${\varepsilon}$ in (\[Eq:WPEstimate\]) is zero, then we say that the problem is [*stable*]{}.


explained in the introduction.

2.  The boundary data $q = (q_K,q_Q,q_L,\sigma)$ and $q = (q_K,q_Q,q_L,\psi)$, respectively, introduced in subsection \[SubSec:EinsteinSecondOrder\] depend on a specific choice of the outgoing null vector field $K$, or at least on its orthonormal projection onto the boundary surface which is a time-like vector field $T$. It is not clear if in general there is such a preferred time direction on ${\cal T}$.[^6]

3.  Related to the first two items is the question whether or not it is at all possible to find a transformation on ${\cal T}$ which relates $q$ and $\tilde{q}$, independent of the initial data.

One possibility for dealing with these issues is to introduce a background metric and to formulate the boundary conditions in a covariant way based on the covariant derivativeonly require very limited timeseries data.

The present paper takes the idea of reconstructing a systems Jacobian from data one step further by avoiding assumptions on the functional form of the interaction terms. In a system that is subject to some noise, the cross correlations in timeseries encode very similar information to the Jacobian matrix of its deterministic backbone. Considered in isolation the cross correlations are not sufficient to reconstruct the full Jacobian, however a complete reconstruction is possible if we have some additional structural information. In systems that can be described as complex networks the network structure imposes constraints on which variables can interact directly, which in turn implies that some entries of the Jacobian must be zero. In a sufficiently sparse network, and particularly in multi-layer networks,


as pattern-forming bifurcations, specifically Turing and Wave instabilities. Pattern forming instabilities in predator-prey systems in continuous space were studied in detail in [@baurmann2007instabilities] which made it easy to locate these bifurcations also in our multi-layer network predator-prey system (Fig. 2).

![Bifurcation diagram of the predator-prey system on the six patches topology. Stability of the state under consideration changes in response to changes in the sensitivity of biomass production to producer biomass $\phi$ and the sensitivity of predation to prey biomass $\gamma$. The state under consideration is stable in the top left area. Stability is lost when either of three bifurcations occur (Turing, Transcritical, Hopf). After the loss of stability the system approaches a state of homogeneous oscillations (A), a different homogeneous stationary state (B), or a state of stationary patternsstep sizes $\text dt$. The number of used time steps and step sizes is listed in table \[tab:solver\_pars\].

Jacobian-Covariance relationship \[appendixCovJ\]
=================================================

We summarize the derivation of the Jacobian-Covariance relationship following the presentation in [@steuer2003observing]. The response of the system to small fluctuations of the variables around the equilibrium values can be approximated by $$\begin{aligned}
\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t} \mathbf{X} = \mathbf{J} \mathbf{X},\end{aligned}$$ We can model the system with noise using a Langevin-type equation $$\begin{aligned}
    \frac{\mathrm{d}X_i}{\mathrm{d}t}=\sum_j J_{ij} X_j +\sqrt{2D_i} \, \xi_i(t),\end{aligned}$$ where $\xi_i(t)$ is Gaussian white noise, with zero mean and unit variance and $D_i$ is the mean amplitude of fluctuations.

The corresponding stationary Fokker-Planck equation for the state probability distribution $P(\mathbf{X})$ is $$\begin{aligned}
    -\sum_{ij}J_{ij}\frac{\partial}{\partial X_i} X_j P +\sum_{ij}D_{ij}\frac{\partial^2P}{\partial X_i \partial X_j}=0 \label{eq:fp}.\end{aligned}$$ Multiplying Eq.  by $X_k X_l$ and integrating gives


Once we have found the desired bifurcations in a food web it is straightforward to specify the unspecified function in the model to lie at a specific point of the generalized model bifurcation diagram. In this way meta-foodwebs that exhibit the desired transitions can be generated very efficiently.

For most of the analysis we use the functions $$\begin{aligned}
 G(X_s) &=& \alpha_s  {X_s}^{\phi_s} \\
 F(X_s,T_s) &=& \alpha_s  \frac{(1+K_s){X_s}^{\psi_s}T_s }{T_s + K_s} \\
 M(X_s) &=& \alpha_s {X_s}^{\mu_s}\end{aligned}$$ here $\alpha_s$ is the species biomass turnover rate, which we calculate from its trophic position using an allometric scaling law; $\phi_s$ is the elasticity of primary production, $\mu_s$ is the elasticity of mortality, $\psi_s$ is the elasticity of predtion with respect to predator density, and $K_s$ is a halfsaturation constant which wethe number of clusters beforehand. The algorithm operates as follows:

1.  Randomly select a starting point for each cluster in the multi-dimensional space.

2.  Classify all points according to their closest cluster. \[item:classify\]

3.  Calculate a new centroid for each cluster based on the classified points.\[item:newCentroid\]

4.  Repeat \[item:classify\] and \[item:newCentroid\] until convergence.

We used the simplest distance metric—sum of squares—to determine proximity. On the one hand this is reasonable because all of our observations are in magnitude differences. On the other hand, the rise is much shorter in duration than the decline/plateau. Therefore late time data can dominate the division. Limiting our analysis until day 30 after first light gives similar weight to both the rise and the decline of the LCs. There are various techniques for determining


\[fig:ClusterHistograms\], \[fig:riseTimeHistogram\], and \[fig:deltaM15Histogram\] respectively. Note that the II-FS cluster does not come from the same population as II-FF and II-S in both peak magnitude and decline rate at the 95% significance level according to a Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. The II-S cluster does not come from the same population as the II-FF and II-FS clusters in rise-time at the 95% significance level according to a KS test.

It is well known that a combination of reactive oxidant species can be beneficial to water treatment, cleaning, decontamination and remediation applications as they will combat a variety of substrate types which may be present and react with a variety of oxidation byproducts during their breakdown.
Hydroxyl Radicals
Of the common oxidants used in water treatment and remediation, the hydroxyl radical has the most positive standard oxidation potential of 2.80 V and is very effective at oxidizing a wide variety of substances. Hydroxyl radicals react very rapidly with a wide variety of oxidizable substrates. However, the hydroxyl radical lifetime is very short in aqueous media, merely several nanoseconds, and therefore must be produced with several tens of angstroms of a target substrate due to minimal diffusion path length. Hydroxyl radicalsenabled, the deployment will fail. Just head over to the link provided in the error message and enable billing for your app

been shown to have an in-service event, injury, or disease or a diagnosis of anxiety or psychosis (schizophrenia) manifested in accordance with presumptive service connection regulations for chronic diseases relating to his period of service from July 1965 to June 1967.  Therefore, because the evidence preponderates against the finding of an in-service event, or the onset of symptoms within the statutory period relative to service, the Board finds that a VA examination is unnecessary.  38 C.F.R. § 3.159 (c)(4)(i) (2016).

Neither the Veteran nor his representative has advanced any procedural arguments in relation to VA's duty to notify and assist.  See Scott v. McDonald, 789 F.3d 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (holding that "absent extraordinary circumstances . . . we think it is appropriate for the Boardpresence of observable symptomatology and "may provide sufficient support for a claim of service connection."  Layno v. Brown, 6 Vet. App. 465, 469 (1994).  When a condition is capable of lay observation and may be diagnosed by its unique and readily identifiable features, the presence of the disorder is not a determination "medical in nature."  Lay evidence can be competent and sufficient to establish a diagnosis when a layperson (1) is competent to identify the medical condition; or, (2) is reporting a contemporaneous medical diagnosis; or, (3) describes symptoms at the time which supports a later diagnosis by a medical professional.  See Jandreau v. Nicholson, 492 F.3d 1372, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2007).  Although a lay person is competent in certain situations to provide


a diagnosis of a simple condition, a lay person is not competent to provide evidence as to more complex medical questions.  See Woehlaert v. Nicholson, 21 Vet. App. 456 (2007).  Likewise, mere conclusory or generalized lay statements that a service event or illness caused a current disability are insufficient.  Waters v. Shinseki, 601 F.3d 1274, 1278 (2010).

The Board must weigh any competent lay evidence and to make a credibility determination as to whether it supports a finding of service incurrence; or, if applicable, continuity of symptomatology; or both, sufficient to establish service connection.  See Barr v. Nicholson, 21 Vet. App. 303 (2007); see also Layno v. Brown, 6 Vet. App. 465 (1994).  The credibility of lay evidence may not be refuted solelyAbstract The Brain Vascular Malformation Consortium (BVMC) Administrative Core (AC) is a central resource for addressing a wide range of administrative issues related to the conduct of proposed research, including human research regulatory issues, publications, reports, and fiscal management.

Any which way you make this, it’s a treat well worth getting derailed from a post-vacation detox.

PB&J Ice Cream Sandwich

This is my go-to sandwich when I am jonesing for one and there are none stashed away in the freezer. Sometimes I hope not to find a sandwich there, just so I can make this one, which delights with warm toast, cool ice cream, and the reassuring flavors of childhood. With ice cream awaiting in your freezer, a sandwich need never be more than a toaster away.
I make these up one at a time when the mood strikes. If you’re hosting a child’s sleep-over party or have family in town for the holidays, make all twelve at once for andark powers. To that end, they enlisted the aid of the only other person with The Shade's power: Culp. Dr. Fate's magic has little effect on the shadow substance, so he needs The Shade to distract the cult while he sends the power into a void dimension. The Shade agrees, provided he gets a shot at Culp.

This is the first time the reader learns about Culp, The Shade's longtime nemesis. His name doesn't come up in the monthly series until Issue #50, published over two years later. Culp is not seen, though. The Fools claim Culp ran off when he learned The Shade was coming. Those of you who've read "Grand Guignol" know the real reason Culp wasn't there.

Error using TaskCompletionSource.TrySetResult()

This is a follow-up question to another SO question regarding the use of an async wrapper over an async callback function.
Here is the code as it stands (an excellent solution provided by @Servy):
static Task<ObservableCollection<MyResult>> GetMyDataAsync(Params p)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<ObservableCollection<MyResult>>();
    DoStuffClass stuff = new DoStuffClass();
    stuff.LoadCompleted += (args) => tcs.TrySetResult(args.Result);
    stuff.LongDrawOutProcessAsync(p);
    return tcs.Task;
}

So, my problem is with the LoadCompleted event; here is the signature:
public event EventHandler<MyArgs> LoadCompleted;

MyArgs contains a property called ResultCollection; however, changing the code like this does not work:
    stuff.LoadCompleted += (args) => tcs.TrySetResult(args.ResultCollection);

In fact, I get the error:
'System.EventHandler<MyArgs>' does not take 1 arguments

Which I can see if correct from the signature; so how can


I set the LoadCompleted result to the TaskCompletionSource?

A:

EventHandler needs 2 arguments, the first is the instance that raised the event and the second is the event arguments. You need to specify both of them even if you only use one (args).
This should work:
stuff.LoadCompleted += (sender, args) => tcs.TrySetResult(args.Result);

coherent structure determination based on trajectories of particle spatial coordinates. In this work, we extend CSC in the context of its own limitations, as described below.

While we restrict the focus of the rest of the paper to clustering, this is not the only way to identify coherent structures from frame-independent particle trajectories. Over the past two decades, both the fluid and molecular dynamics communities have developed methods to identify "almost-invariant" sets through data-driven approximations to the Perron-Frobenius operator and its adjoint, the Koopman operator. The former, also referred to as the transfer or transition operator, propagates probability densities forward in time, whereas the latter propagates observables \[[@pone.0212442.ref016]\].

For fluid systems, Dellnitz and Junge \[[@pone.0212442.ref017]\], Froyland and Dellnitz \[[@pone.0212442.ref018]\], and Mezić \[[@pone.0212442.ref019]\] used finite approximations to the Perron-Frobenius eigenfunctions to


We first create an optimized model that approximates the Perron-Frobenius operator \[[@pone.0212442.ref022]\], which is difficult to visualize due to its high dimensionality. Then, to reduce our model to a visualizable and interpretable coarse-grained model, we use the clustering method presented in this work to identify the major coherent structures.

Simultaneous coherent structure coloring (sCSC) {#sec003}
===============================================

Coherent structure coloring theory {#sec004}
----------------------------------

Many datasets we wish to explore in the physical sciences are generated by complex dynamical systems that exhibit instabilities and chaos. A key consequence of these processes is that states of the system (e.g. fluid particle trajectories or protein conformations) that are proximal but belonging to different coherent sets will separate exponentially faster as the system evolves than states belonging to the same cluster \[[@pone.0212442.ref025], [@pone.0212442.ref026]\].

On this basis, we previously hypothesizedpoints (i.e. states), and each is assigned a 0 or a 1. For the *k*th eigenvector bifurcation, this enables 2^k^ numerically possible clusters ([Fig 1](#pone.0212442.g001){ref-type="fig"}). For example, the first splitting produces branches 0 and 1, and the second splitting enables the population of 2^2^ unique clusters by appending 0 or 1 to each branch of the existing binary code ({00, 01, 10, 11}). However, it may be the case that the numerically possible branch 01 is not occupied because there is no data point that receives both a label of 0 in the first bifurcation and a label of 1 in the second bifurcation. Thus, we hypothesize that branch 0 (and its only occupied split, branch 00) evidences a coherent region of the data. In this way, a

The sCSC dendrogram corresponding to this flow (for the same dissimilarity measure as the quadruple-eddy flow, [Eq (3)](#pone.0212442.e004){ref-type="disp-formula"}) is similarly effective in extracting the salient coherent features ([Fig 4D](#pone.0212442.g004){ref-type="fig"}). The flanking eddies are identified in branch 0.

The trajectories of 4 particles are highlighted for a 40-day integration period, from their initial positions (blue) to their final positions (red).

As illustrated in [Fig 5A](#pone.0212442.g005){ref-type="fig"}, it is impossible to determine which fluid particles have been entrained by the vortex ring based on visual inspection of the trajectories alone. A comparison FTLE analysis performed by Schlueter-Kuck and Dabiri on 30,500 advected particles (see Ref.Ref. \[[@pone.0212442.ref014]\], Fig 9) showed that 1174 trajectories are not sufficiently close to one another to compute the FTLE field, because the required gradient calculations are not well-posed for sparse trajectories. The alternative use of existing techniques based on heuristics, such as *k*-means or the spectral eigengap, rely on knowledge of the number of eddies to guide clustering; in the present case, it is not known *a priori* how many structures comprise


the flow.

Various branches contain similar secondary structure elements (similar colors in the structure visualization in [Fig 6](#pone.0212442.g006){ref-type="fig"}), elucidating substructures exhibited during the folding of Protein G. For example, branch 1110 contains *β*-sheet secondary structure (yellow), whereas branch 11110 contains noticeable *α*-helical secondary structure (pink). Branch 1111111 is the least coherent, containing the most unstructured states. Summary statistics for each macrostate can be found in [S1 Table](#pone.0212442.s002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}.

In this example, we have chosen to highlight secondary structure changes so we can understand which secondary structure elements characterize different subprocesses within folding. We see that the yellow *β*-sheet secondary structure appears in several macrostates---often along with the blue 3~10~-helix,

George Hay (ice hockey)

William George "The Western Wizard" Hay (January 10, 1898 – July 13, 1975) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played for the Regina Capitals and Portland Rosebuds of the Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) and the Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Red Wings in the National Hockey League (NHL).  He was a top star on the Canadian prairies, named a WCHL All-Star four times in five seasons.  He transferred to the NHL in 1926 when the Rosebuds were sold to the rival league and went on to score the first goal in the history of the Chicago Black Hawks.  He retired in 1933 after several seasons with the Red Wings.  Hay was inducted into the Hockey Hall of FameAll-Star for the fourth time in 1925–26. When the league collapsed in 1926, the Rosebuds were sold in their entirety to the NHL and became the Chicago Black Hawks.

Hay joined the team in Chicago for the 1926–27 NHL season, and on November 17, 1926 scored the first goal in the history of the Black Hawks. He completed the season in Chicago but was traded, along with Percy Traub, to the Detroit Cougars in exchange for $15,000 after its conclusion. Hay played his finest NHL season in 1927–28, leading the team in goals and points, and was named to an unofficial all-star team by the league's managers. He played seven seasons in the Detroit organization, and retired one game into the 1933–34 season to take over as the coach


Perspectives of the community-based dementia care workforce: "occupational communion" a key finding from the Work 4 Dementia Project.
Community care workers' experience of delivering support to people with dementia is less researched than that of residential workers. The purpose of the study is to explore community-based dementia care workers' perspectives about their roles and the contextual variables that impact upon their work experiences. A qualitative design was employed. Twenty-five community dementia care workers (average age 53 years, majority female and employed casually) participated in standardized semi-structured interviews about their job roles, training, employer agenda, organizational support, and intention to stay. A deductive approach to Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was adopted to identify key themes. Three themes highlighted workers' experiences. Occupational communion described strong attachment to clients and a desire for(e.g., a Fisher matrix) with easily-interpreted results. We have verified that for generic BH-NS binaries, our model agress with the time-domain waveform to 2%.

title: 'A single-spin precessing gravitational wave in closed form'
---

For the astrophysically most plausible strong gravitational wave sources – coalescing compact binaries of black holes and neutron stars with total mass $M=m_1+m_2\le 16 M_\odot$ – ground based gravitational wave detector networks (notably LIGO [@gw-detectors-LIGO-original] and Virgo [@Accadia:2011zz; @aVIRGO]) are principally sensitive to each binary’s nearly-adiabatic and quasi-circular inspiral [@2003PhRvD..67j4025B; @2004PhRvD..70j4003B; @2004PhRvD..70f4028D; @BCV:PTF; @2005PhRvD..72h4027B; @2006PhRvD..73l4012K; @2008PhRvD..78j4007H; @gw-astro-mergers-approximations-SpinningPNHigherHarmonics; @gw-astro-PN-Comparison-AlessandraSathya2009]. For nonprecessing binaries, the inspiral signal model has been explored in detail, both analytically and with


engines of short GRBs. Precessing sources have been substantially less-thoroughly modeled. At present, the current state-of-the-art `SpinTaylorT4` [@BCV:PTF; @gw-astro-PN-Comparison-AlessandraSathya2009] and `SpinTaylorT2` models [@TaylorT2F2Faithful] solve coupled time-domain ordinary differential equations to evolve the orbits and spins. Until this work, no fast, stationary-phase approximation existed which faithfully reproduces the signal from a generic single-spin binary. A frequency-domain signal provides an analytically tractable tool for theoretical analysis; for example, the Fisher matrix can be efficiently evaluated and its physical significance understood [@1995PhRvD..52..848P]. Also, these frequency-domain waveforms can be evaluated and explored with significantly reduced computational cost. Previous searches balanced accuracy and coverage against computational cost, usually adopting low-cost but easily-understood approximate waveforms (“detection templates”), though others proposed the use of accurate but expensive time-domain signals [@BuonannoChenVallisneri:2003a; @2004PhRvD..70j4003B; @BCV:PTF; @2003PhRvD..67j4025B; @2005PhRvD..72h4027B]. Presentform $A(v(f))/2\sqrt{i d^2 \bar{\Phi}/dt^2} \exp i \psi(f)$, where where $\psi(f) = 2 \pi f t(v) -  \bar{\Phi}(v)$; see, e.g., Eq. (2.18) in [@CutlerFlanagan:1994]. Using this approximation, the Fourier transform of our modulated waveform \[Eq. (\[eq:def:h:zExpansion\])\] can be efficiently computed term-by-term, in general using the phase $\bar{\Phi}_m= 2(\Phi-\zeta)+  m\alpha$. At the level of approximation used here, the relation $t(f)$ and hence $\Psi(f)\equiv 2\pi f t(f) - 2\Phi(t(f))$ is independent of $\alpha$; the factor $\exp(i(-2\zeta+m\alpha))$ can be viewed as a slowly-varying term, like the prefactor $A$. Following custom in gravitational wave data analysis, we approximate the stationary phase amplitude factor $\propto 1/\sqrt{d^2 \bar{\Phi}/dt^2} \simeq (d^2\Phi/dt^2)^{-1/2} $ by its leading order term, proportional to $f^{-7/6}$. We therefore find $$\begin{aligned}
\bar{h}_+(f)
&\simeq \frac{2M\eta}{D \sqrt{d^2\Phi/dt^2}}v^2 \sum_m z_m e^{i(\Psi-2\zeta) +im\alpha} \\
&\simeq \frac{2\pi {\cal M}_c^2}{D}

You certainly can’t miss staples like Vidler’s and the village’s many art galleries, but if you’re moving too fast you might miss smaller stores like Toy Loft, Head Over Heels, Four Bees Cottage, Aurora Outfitters and so many more. As an added bonus, not only are the shops decked out for the season; many have fantastic offers going on.

The aim of this study is to examine physical and psychosocial stressors related to the risk of low birth weight (LBW) in a sample of predominantly low income women in a small city in Alabama. Alabama continues to experience unacceptably high rates of LBW and related problems (infant mortality). In prior research, a variety of factors, including parity, low maternal weight gain, prior experience of poor pregnancy outcomes,, poor prenatal care, as well as other variables, have been used to predict the risk of LBW. Similarly, psychosocial risks, such as stressful life events and depression, have been examined. While many of these variables do explain the risk of LBW in part, there still remain unknown etiologic factors, including a high degree of suspicion with respect to psychosocial factors.kinematical region where rcBK accurately describes the data, and thus for the determination of its applicability boundary. It also set important constraints to the saturation models used to model the early stages of heavy ion collisions. Finally we compare the rcBK results with NNLO DGLAP fits, obtained with the NNPDF methodology with analogous kinematical cuts. Further, we explore the impact on LHC phenomenology of applying stringent kinematical cuts to the low-x HERA data in a DGLAP fit.'

rcBK fits to data with different $x$-cuts from $x_{\rm cut}=10^{-2}$ to $10^{-4}$. The quality of the fits is comparably good independently of the cut, despite the decreasing number of points with decreasing $x_{\rm cut}$. Also the extrapolations of the results for $\sigma_r$ from fits with cuts to the unfitted region , i.e to $x>x_{\rm cut}$, yield a good description of the data. Fig. \[rcBKdata\]-right shows the results corresponding to the rcBK fit with the most stringent cut, $x_{\rm cut}=10^{-4}$, together with experimental data and the analogous results from the NNLO DGLAP fit with cut $A_{\rm cut}=1.5$. While the DGLAP extrapolations to the unfitted, [*test*]{} region are compatible with data within the uncertainty bands, the central values of the predictions show significant deviations from data in the region of small-$x$.

![(*left*)small-$x$ kinematical cuts using the NNPDF2.1 NNLO set. The results are shown in Fig. \[fig:pheno\]. While the impact of cutting the small-$x$ and small-$Q^2$ HERA data from the fit is rather moderate at LHC 7 TeV, at LHC 14 TeV the effect is much larger, since smaller values of $x$ in the PDFs are being probed. One can observe that the cross section for Higgs boson production in gluon fusion is very stable against the kinematical cuts, while for the electroweak boson and top production cross sections the PDF uncertainties increase by up to a factor five. This needs to be carefully considered, since these processes constitute an important background in Higgs searches.

Allergic contact dermatitis due to nickel: descriptive study in a tertiary hospital, 2000-2010.
The aim of this study based on the records of the dermatology department of a tertiary referral hospital was to describe patients treated for allergic contact dermatitis induced by nickel between 2000 and 2010. From records of the skin allergy section of the dermatology department we extracted and analyzed information for patients who underwent patch testing with the standard series of the Spanish Contact Dermatitis Research Group (GEIDAC), which includes a patch with 5% nickel sulfate in petroleum jelly. The possibility that nickel release from various objects might have triggered the patient's dermatitis was assessed with the dimethylglyoxime spot test, which reveals a reddish precipitate if the metal is present. A total of 3,404 patients underwentleaders in the tech industry, we are paving the way for others to follow.

This lesson is a lesson I use at the beginning of the school year to give students an opportunity to share information about themselves to me and their classmates. I use this as an icebreaker activity and a way to introduce procedures and norms that I would like for students to use through out the school year.

To begin the lesson, I brought a bag of items to school to share with students. These items are special to me and I share them with students to give them a sense of who I am and what I like. I gathered students in front of me on the carpet soand, secondly, to begin verification within 45 days. We're anticipating that, and we don't see any obstacles," Hill told reporters after the talks.

The envoys will be gathering later in the month for a regional security forum in Singapore and may hold informal talks there, he said.

The agreement, though not yet complete, signals the start of the final phase of years of on-again, off-again negotiations to get North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

Beyond the October deadline for disabling North Korea's main nuclear facility at Yongbyon, the agreement did not set a timetable for full disarmament. But President Bush is believed to be eager to see North Korea disarmed before he leaves office in January.

Kim Sook, Seoul's top nuclear envoy, said afterward that "a very difficult task" lies


ahead in implementing verification, though he did not elaborate. He added that there should be "unlimited" access to the North's facilities during the verification process.

Questions remain about how much of its nuclear programs North Korea disclosed in a declaration last month. The North, which exploded a nuclear device in 2006, is believed by experts to have produced enough weapons-grade plutonium to make as many as 10 nuclear bombs, and the U.S. has accused Pyongyang of running a second weapons program based on uranium.

Before the latest talks, poor and energy-starved North Korea complained that other parties had only provided 40 percent of the fuel aid — the equivalent of 1 million tons of oil — promised under a February 2007 disarmament deal.

is being completely wasted. If it were opened for public use (a la Wi-Fi), the idea is that new devices and technologies would pop up, vastly improving and expanding mobile broadband use. (To put it in perspective, the amount of "white space" spectrum potentially available is several times larger than the chunk of 700 MHz spectrum recently auctioned).

I'll be returning to this issue in the weeks ahead. But long story short, broadcasters have been resisting these efforts tooth and nail -- often in shamelessly dishonest ways. But hopefully the Olympics success is a lesson. More people using better mobile devices on better spectrum can expand -- rather than cannibalize -- the TV audience. And if, god forbid, broadcasters started using their spectrum in innovative ways such as mobileTV offerings, they might actually, you know, survive.

It's all very frustrating. It's not merely that an anachronistic business model propped up by powerful DC lobbies is blocking one of the most promising technological opportunities in decades. It's that they're doing so while shooting themselves in the foot at the same time.

Salmon et al[20](#pon4735-bib-0020){ref-type="ref"} referring to Jonathan Bradshaw[21](#pon4735-bib-0021){ref-type="ref"} recently brought patients\' supportive care needs into focus by acknowledging that there is not only a *normative need* for support (defined by experts), indicated by an elevated distress score on the Distress Thermometer (DT) or other screening instruments, but also a *felt need* for support like a wish or desire that can become an *expressed need* for support, indicated, for example, by an expression of clear intent to use the known and available psychooncology service. Previous studies examined why a cancer patient\'s distress level did not always conform to their wish for support or adherence to services.[10](#pon4735-bib-0010){ref-type="ref"}, [17](#pon4735-bib-0017){ref-type="ref"},          12% (16)

be better to address the needs of highly distressed, ambivalent patients (maybe) by taking an "if‐then" approach to discussions about service uptake. Taking the right approach to meet the needs of each patient group could optimize psychooncological health‐care delivery. Supportive cancer care should also always include providing detailed information to all patients about the work psychooncologists do and the benefits of psychooncological treatments.

7. CONCLUSION {#pon4735-sec-0025}
=============

Our study reveals patients\' subjective needs linked to psychosocial distress and uptake of a psychooncology service in cancer outpatients by using mixed methods. We identified a vulnerable group of ambivalent patients. To optimize distress screening programs, we suggest that patients\' supportive care needs should be addressed and discussed in routine clinical practice.

It is sort of humorous and it is a geographical oddity but it is also a lesson that we need to come together and unify a little bit more.”

6. Smallpox Island

In the Lincoln Shields Memorial area in West Alton, you will find a memorial set up for the tragic site of Smallpox Island, which has been swallowed up by the Mississippi River. It was originally called Sunflower Island, but during the Civil War, Confederate prisoners who contracted Smallpox in the overcrowded Alton Prison were sent to the island to die. Many were buried in a mass grave that was

Level of osteocalcin in P2 Group was significantly lower (Mann-Whitney, p = 0.008) compared to OVX group (59.4% lower). The highest serum osteocalcin level was achieved by OVX group with 45.7% higher level compared to Sham group. P1, P2, and P3 have 46.1%, 59.4%, 29.7% respectively lower serum osteocalcin level than OVX group. The statistically significant decrement was achieved by P2 group (p = 0,008), and the trend suggest that nicotine administration lower the serum osteocalcin level ([Figure 1](#f0001){ref-type="fig"}). Average Serum DPD Levels are shown in [Figure 2](#f0002){ref-type="fig"}. OVX group has 38.5% higher level of DPD compared to sham group. Level of DPD in All Group was not significantly different (ANOVA,and 77 weeks after ovariectomy \[[@cit0008]\]. In this research, we harvest the animal serum after 7 weeks post ovariectomy. Even though statistical analysis doesn\'t show a significant different, there was 45.7% higher serum osteocalcin levels in OVX group compared with Sham group. Osteocalcin itself is produced by osteoblasts during bone formation. Most of the osteocalcin (80-90%) is adsorbed to bone hydroxyapatite, with a minor percentage leaking into the circulation. When the bone resorption occurs, osteocalcin is released from the bone matrix into blood. Thus, serum osteocalcin concentrations increased in osteoporotic patients \[[@cit0009]\]. It was demonstrated in this research that group with daily per-oral nicotine administration has lower level of serum osteocalcin. Group P2 exhibit 59.4% lower serum osteocalcin level compared to OVX group. This phenomenon suggesting that nicotine


to the core motives and values underlying each trait (e.g., self-enhancement motives and values vs. self-transcendent motives and values) and worldview (e.g., a fundamental belief in the goodness of humans and acceptance of others). We also expected that the light triad would show a positive relationship to the facets of interpersonal guilt that most strongly reflect an empathetic concern for others (O’Connor et al., 1997).

In sum, our main aims were to show (1) that the Light Triad can be measured with a reliable scale, (2) that the Light Triad is distinct from the inverse of the Dark Triad, Big Five Agreeableness, and the Honesty-Humility sub-scale of the HEXACO, (3) that the Light Triad predicts well-studied positive and negative outcomes over and above Agreeableness and Honesty-Humility, and (4) thatthe extent to which one has a weak versus strong sense of self. While the scale is unidimensional, it has items relating to four components of a weak sense of self: (1) Tendency to confuse one’s feelings, thoughts, and perspectives with those of others; (2) Lack of understanding of oneself; (3) Sudden shifts in feelings, opinions, and values; and (4) Feeling of a tenuous existence.

The Authenticity Scale (TAS; Wood et al., 2008)

The Authenticity Scale (TAS; Wood et al., 2008) is a 12-item scale that has three subscales: authentic living, alienation from the self, and accepting external influence.

The Authenticity Inventory (AI-3; Kernis and Goldman, 2006)

The Authenticity Inventory (AI-3; Kernis and Goldman, 2006) is a 45-item measure “conceptually designed to assess the unimpeded operation of one’s true—or core—self in one’s


and Morris, 1983) contains 23 items, based on the premise that “death is transcended through identification with phenomena more enduring than oneself.” Items are divided amongst five subscales: mysticism, religious, nature, creative, and biosocial.

Curiosity

The Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II (CEI-II, Kashdan et al., 2009)

The Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II (CEI-II, Kashdan et al., 2009) is a 10-item self-report instrument assessing individual differences in the recognition, pursuit, and integration of novel and challenging experiences and information. It contains two factors, with five items devoted to each: Stretching (about challenging oneself) and Embracing (accepting uncertainty).

The Epistemic Curiosity Scale (ECS; Litman and Spielberger, 2003)

The Epistemic Curiosity Scale (ECS; Litman and Spielberger, 2003) is a 10-item instrument developed specifically to assess individual differences in epistemic curiosity— the desire for new knowledge. The scale containsfacets of Agreeableness, the Dark Triad was also positively correlated (although weaker) with mature and neurotic defense styles.

In contrast, the following immature defense styles positively independently predicted the Dark Triad: Dissociation (β = 0.30, p < 0.01), Acting Out (β = 0.29, p < 0.01), and Isolation (β = 0.26, p < 0.01).

Worldview

Table 10 shows the correlation among the light and Dark Triad and worldview.

TABLE 10

Table 10. Correlations and partial correlations between worldview and light vs. dark triad.

The Light Triad was positively correlated with the Cognitive Triad and all of its facets (Positive View of Self, Positive View of the World, and Positive View of the Future). Controlling for the facets of Agreeableness significantly reduced the size of the correlations, but the relationship between the Light Triad and


strong negative independent predictor of the Dark Triad (β = -0.40, p < 0.01), whereas Cognitive Empathy was a slight but significant positive independent predictor of the Dark Triad (β = 0.10, p < 0.05).

The Light Triad was positively associated with all of the facets of Interpersonal Guilt except for Self-Hate Guilt, which showed a negative association with the Light Triad. Even after controlling for the facets of Agreeableness, the Light Triad was still correlated with Survival Guilt and Omnipotence Guilt. In contrast, the Dark Triad was negatively associated with Survival Guilt and Omnipotence Guilt, but was positively associated with Self-Hate Guilt. After controlling for the facets of Agreeableness, the Dark Triad remained negatively correlated with Survivor Guilt and remained positively correlated with Self-Hate Guilt.

In terms of thedonations given in the Dictator Game. The correlation between the Light Triad and donations given remained significant even after controlling for the facets of Agreeableness and Honesty-Humility, whereas the Dark Triad was no longer significantly correlated with the Dictator Game after controlling for these facets.

Religion, Spirituality, and Self-Transcendence

A one-way ANOVA found no Dark Triad difference on any of the response options on the religiosity demographic item. For the Light Triad, one-way ANOVAs found a few pairwise differences between the Religious and Spiritual responses and the other responses, but no Light Triad difference between the Secular, None, and Other groups, F(2,651) = 0.02, p = 0.98. Therefore, we created dummy variables for being Spiritual and Religious and ran a two-way 2 × 2 ANOVA with Light Triad as the


both light and dark traits.

With that said, the Light Triad diverged from the Dark Triad across numerous outcomes drawn from both the Dark Triad and well-being literatures and tended to show stronger outcomes with self-transcendent and growth-fostering outcomes relative to the Dark Triad. Below, we’ll go into greater detail on the contrasting nomological networks of the Light vs. Dark Triad, thereby painting overall portraits of these two very different profiles of human nature.

Portraits of the Light vs. Dark Triad

First, we replicated a number of findings in the Dark Triad literature and extended these findings to the Light Triad. For example, it has been found that Dark Triad traits are correlated with greater childhood unpredictability (Jonason et al., 2013, 2016), aggression (Pailing et al., 2014; Dinic and Wertag, 2018;Knight et al., 2018; Paulhus et al., 2018), utilitarian moral judgment (Djeriouat and Tremoliere, 2014), selfishness, power, money, and sociosexuality (Jonason et al., 2008; Jonason and Buss, 2012; Lee et al., 2013; Kajonius et al., 2015; Jonason and Ferrell, 2016; Balakrishna et al., 2017), and immature defense styles (Richardson and Boag, 2016). We replicated these findings and also found that the Light Triad is significantly correlated with the inverse of these outcomes.

Second, by also investigating a number of growth-fostering and well-being-related outcomes, we could see an overall pattern of findings that paints two very different portraits of humanity. We found that the Dark Triad was positively correlated with being younger, being male, being motivated by power, sex, achievement, and affiliation, having self-enhancement values, immature defense styles, conspicuous consumption,


Dark Triad characteristics (Jonason et al., 2008). Regardless of the veracity of this evolutionary argument, depending on one’s goals, and the compatibility of those goals with one’s desired sexual partners, high sociosexuality is not necessarily an aversive psychosocial outcome.

The Dark Triad also showed positive correlations with a variety of variables that could facilitate one’s more agentic-related goals. For instance, the Dark Triad was positively correlated with utilitarian moral judgment and the VIA strengths of creativity, bravery, and leadership, as well as assertiveness, in addition to motives for power, achievement, and self-enhancement. Also, an unexpected correlation between the Dark Triad and curiosity was found, which was localized primarily to the embracing and deprivation forms of curiosity.

Interestingly, after controlling for Agreeableness and HEXACO Honesty-Humility, the Dark Triad demonstrated positive associationsthe “light character” (Cloninger and Zohar, 2011; Meindl et al., 2015; Garcia and Rosenberg, 2016).

While informing other empirical approaches to studying the moral character, we hope our conceptualization of the Light Triad can also inform a number of philosophical discussions of virtuous character and moral behavior (for a psychology-friendly review of this expansive philosophical literature, see Miller, 2013), as well as more specific philosophical discussions of certain drawbacks to such a temperament, as in Wolf’s (1982) notion of “moral saints” and Schwitzgebel’s (2014) distinction between “jerks” and “sweethearts.”

Conclusion

In order to research the motivations and behaviors associated with the Dark Triad, we have found it useful to recall someone from our personal lives who fits these characteristics – and the same can be said of the Light Triad. For

Aashiqui 2 — Alcoholism

Aditya Roy Kapur made swarms of women across the world fall in love with him after his portrayal of the alcoholic singer Rahul Jaykar in this 2012 romantic drama. The movie highlights Rahul’s downfall at the hands of alcoholism while paralleling the rise of his musical mentee, Aarohi Keshav Shirke (played by Shraddha Kapoor). Over the course of the movie, Aarohi and Rahul fall in love, and as expected, Rahul’s alcoholism takes a huge toll on both their relationship and Aarohi’s career.

Aashiqui 2 does a great job with demonstrating the way in which Rahul’s addiction penetrates every aspect of his life, professional and personal. In fact, his character easily demonstrates each facet of the often used
