necessitated because of a sale. On November 23, 1983, defendant, Illinois Department of Revenue (Department) sent plaintiff a notice of tax liability assessing plaintiff with a deficiency under section 2 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (ROTA) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 120, par. 441), for the period between July 1980 and May 1983, in the sums of $4,382 in taxes, $1,854.27 in interest, and $219.10 in penalties. The assessment arose from plaintiff's failure to include the above charges in the amount of sales upon which it calculated and paid the taxes required by section 2.
After paying the Department the sums assessed, plaintiff filed suit on December 9, 1983, in the circuit court of Sangamon County *590 against defendants, the Department, J. Thomas Johnson, its director, and JamesAmina’s case, shooting.

To most Western audiences, however, honour killings remain shrouded in mystery. What really drives the perpetrators – who are mostly close relatives – to murder their own flesh and blood?

How could anyone place their family’s reputation above the lives of the mothers, wives and daughters they purport to love?

Today, a compelling new book provides some of the answers by uncovering, step by step, the explosive details of the crime that destroyed Amina’s family – an insight into the medieval codes of shame and repression that still govern the lives of millions of women.

Inside An Honour Killing tells how Amina became a victim of her parents’ barbarity for nothing more than telling the truth.

       Abnormal NF-kappaB signaling pathway with enhanced susceptibility to apoptosis in immortalized keratinocytes.
The transcriptional activation and proper regulation of NF-kappaB is known to be important to the apoptotic resistant phenotype of epidermal-derived keratinocytes. By comparing and contrasting the responses of normal foreskin-derived keratinocytes versus an immortalized skin-derived keratinocyte cell line (i.e. HaCaT cells), several molecular defects involving NF-kappaB signaling pathway were delineated in the immortalized keratinocytes. While exposure to IFN-gamma plus TPA produces growth arrest in both normal and immortalized keratinocytes, with rapid phosphorylation of MEKKI and recruitment of distinctive protein kinase C isoforms into the signalosome complex, subsequent molecular events necessary for NF-kappaB activation were abnormal in HaCaT cells. This disrupted NF-kappaB activation in HaCaT cells was accompanied by enhanced susceptibility to UV-light induced apoptosis, which was associated

DAR turns over PHP72-M worth of farm equipment

TACLOBAN CITY, Oct. 29 (PNA) -– More than a hundred agrarian reform beneficiary organizations (ARBOs) throughout Eastern Visayas received farm equipment after the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) recently turned over 184 common service facilities (CSFs) amounting to PHP72 million.

Undersecretary for Support Services Rosalina Bistoyong, who led the turnover rites explained that these equipment were the recommended farm implements by the state universities and colleges (SUCs) commissioned by the Department to conduct the needs assessment and design assessment under the Agrarian Reform Communities Connectivity and Economic Support Services (ARCCESS) project.

Under ARCCESS, the government develops the capabilities of the ARBOs in becoming farmer-entrepreneurs, Bistoyong added, thus they provide them the necessary CSFs.

Meanwhile, DAR Regional Director Sheila Enciso disclosedper square mile (999.2/km²). There were 7,121 housing units at an average density of 1,200.8 per square mile (463.6/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 93.31% White, 3.47% Black or African American, 0.43% Native American, 0.89% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.43% from other races, and 1.45% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.24% of the population.

There were 6,446 households out of which 29.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 42.0% were married couples living together, 13.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 41.0% were non-families. 35.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 14.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Such proposed T-seal seal assembly is known in the prior art and has been used in one form or another in other applications such as hydraulic or pneumatic systems for both rod- and piston-type seals. Generally, each back-up element is positioned adjacent the T-shaped element and the contact point thereof such that when higher pressure is applied to the opposite axial side of the T-shaped seal element, the respective back-up element prevents extrusion of the T-shaped seal element, in the area of such contact point.
However, it has been found that such prior art T-seal seal assemblies do not work well in the previously described high temperature and high pressure environment of a down-hole oil field application. In particular, it has been found that


one or both of the back-up elements tends to become displaced from the T-shaped seal element, thereby failing to provide the desired back-up function such that the T-ring seal assembly eventually fails. Accordingly, a need exists for a T-ring seal assembly that works well under high pressure and high temperature, whereby the back-up elements do not become displaced with regard to the T-shaped seal element.hostages.

We report a 38-year-old woman who developed what appeared to be Fisher syndrome associated with optic nerve involvement. One week after a common cold, she developed double vision and left facial palsy. Four days after the onset, she developed bilateral blurred vision, painful total ophthalmoplegia, and ataxic gait. Brain CT and MRI findings were normal. Her vision worsened but the optic fundi were normal. Serum anti-GQ 1 b antibody was elevated. She received steroid therapy at another hospital, and her vision, facial palsy and ocular pain improved. She was transferred to our hospital and we treated her by plasma exchange. She showed near complete recovery. Human optic and ocular nerves contain high amount of GQ 1 b.

That entails building a factory from scratch, which in itself is no simple task, but with the backing of some deep pocketed investors is a viable option worth exploring for us. However, due to the nature of our business, regulation and compliance work is strict and there is little room for shortcuts, meaning preparations must begin promptly. The FDA has little patience or flexibility, and has a mighty strong back-hand slap. A slight mishap and they will shut you down without reservation. Things need to be crystal clear and well communicated, else forget about it altogether.

The entire process of building a factory from beginning to end should take anywhere from 90-110 weeks, aka 2 years if all goes swimmingly. The process used is called the


is more straightforward and comes with many perks, including tax advantages. There are 3 types of industrial areas; Green Field Zones, Industrial Parks, and Industrial Estates – which all offer assistance in setting up a factory. Industrial Estates and Industrial Parks are pretty much the same thing, with the main difference being that Estates are government owned and regulated. On the plus side, they help you set up acquiring permits, along with providing electric, utilities, water, storage, and all that good stuff. Green Field Zones are pretty much the piker’s version of the above, being similar but much shittier in many ways and have more restrictions.

Unsurprisingly, the Norwegian coastline is essential to the country’s identity — and not just because of the country’s primary industries of fishing and offshore drilling. A line of skerries — small, uninhabited rocky reefs — create a naturally protected coastal passage all the way to the North Cape and give rise to the country’s name: Nor-way means “the way north” in Old Norse. Studying Norway’s ragged coast, with its hundreds of thousands of islands, is like studying the country’s metaphorical DNA: it is unique, it is unendingly complex, it is the fingerprint of a nation.

Aleppo under fire

Meanwhile, Syrian army helicopters fired rockets and machineguns near central Aleppo on Tuesday as they battled rebels trying to enlarge their foothold in the country's second city, forcing residents to flee.

Residents said fighter jets were flying over some rebel-held neighbourhoods, and that helicopters were firing at eastern and southern parts of the city located around only 3km east of Aleppo's ancient citadel in the city centre.

"Almost everyone has fled in panic, even my family. I have stayed to try to stop the looters, we hear they often come after an area is shelled," he added."I heard at leastwas "hypocritical" and that some members of the league were backing the rebels fighting the Syrian regime.

Government forces were also seeking to quell a mutiny in the city's central prison, where eight people were killed, the Observatory said.

The rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) described the mutiny as "the first step towards the liberation" of Aleppo.

Elsewhere in the country, the Local Co-ordination Committees, which organises opposition forces on the ground, reported renewed shelling in parts of Damascus, including in the Barzeh district where the neighbourhood's mosque was reported damaged by intense shelling.

The army pushed into dissident districts in the south, entering the Kaddam and al-Assali areas where they carried out raids and arrests, the Observatory said.

The London-based group put Tuesday's death toll across the country at 48 by mid-afternoon.

Damascus residents remain displaced by the recent fighting and were in need of humanitarian assistance, the International Commission of the Red Cross (ICRC) said.

were for the benefit of the builders and owners of the vessels. During construction, ABS communicated with representatives of the Fairfield Maxwell Group. After deliveries of the vessels, ABS communicated with Fairfield Maxwell concerning the services ABS provided for the vessels. Tr. 159, 160-61, 987-88.
9. On or about October 6, 1980, Sasebo issued its "Tonnage Computation Under Register (Liberian) Tonnage Regulation" and its "Tonnage Computation Under Suez Canal Tonnage Regulation" for Sasebo hull 283, the HAPPY SPRITE. Those Tonnage Computations were attested to by ABS's surveyor at the port of Sasebo, Japan. The attestation consisted of a confirmation that the Tonnage Computations accurately reflected the physical dimensions of Sasebo hull 283. The Tonnage Computations were then forwarded to the Tonnage Section of the Hull Structures Department at ABS'sinvoice to French BP dated March 15, 1983 (Exhs. 160 and 71) set forth a calculation of the Suez Canal differential based upon the incorrect SCNT of 43,454 tons at the applicable Worldscale rate of $2.70. Louvard 63-65; Exhs. 160 and 71. French BP paid Somarelf's March 15 freight invoice on March 29, 1983.
28. In February 1982, when the JOLLY SPRITE was transferred from Liberian to British Flag and renamed the VIC BILH, ABS was engaged to survey the vessel, measure the vessel under the British tonnage regulations, and issue a British tonnage certificate. Tr. 261-76. Although the British and Suez Canal procedures for performing the underdeck tonnage calculation differ slightly, under both sets of tonnage regulations underdeck ballast tanks are to be included. Consequently, the underdeck tonnages


Mr. Boyle of ABS reviewed the files of the vessels and discovered the error in the underdeck tonnage calculation. He prepared a letter dated November 5, 1984 to the SCA for Mr. Doherty's signature which read as follows:
With reference to your letter (no. 4.1-84) of 23 October 1984, regarding the underdeck tonnage of the subject vessel, we have reviewed our files and wish to advise the following.
The number shown as underdeck tonnage (46622.37 tons) on the Suez Canal tonnage certificate is actually the Liberian national underdeck. This figure, representing the total tonnage less all water ballast spaces, was inadvertently entered on the Suez Canal certificate. Accordingly, the correct Suez Canal underdeck tonnage should be 60356.67 tons (also, the corrected Suez Canal gross would be 63350.62 tons with thethese transits, one was undertaken when the vessel was sub-chartered. The SCA supplemental invoices for the JOLLY SPRITE/VIC BILH's seven transits of the Suez Canal are in francs and are all dated February 14, 1985. Exh. 49.
32. In total, Somarelf paid to the SCA the sum of FF 1,945,677.51 for uncollected Canal dues for both vessels. The SCA did not charge interest on the supplemental Canal dues. The SCA determined the deficiency for each transit by reference to the Special Drawing Right ("SDR") charge per ton in effect at the time of the original transit and by reference to the franc  SDR rate of exchange in effect at the time of the original transit. Somarelf paid no more or less to the SCA than it would have


the relevant vessel owners are not so interrelated as to lead to a finding that the settlement agreement was improper or unwarranted.
39. ABS's claim that Somarelf received a "currency exchange benefit" because of delayed payment of the supplemental canal dues at a time of fluctuating exchange rates, Tr. 1104-1111, is unduly speculative and not supported by the record, which indicates Somarelf paid for the supplemental canal dues in French frances without any indication that any dollars were utilized. Exh. 107.
40. ABS's claim that Somarelf received an interest benefit by virtue of the deferred payment of supplemental canal dues, Tr. 1067-68, may be a reasonable assumption. However, even if an "interest benefit" of $42,461.12 is deducted from the amount of lost differentials plus interest ($278,370.36), the $200,000 settlement remainsa reasonable one.
41. The $200,000 settlement between Fairfield Maxwell and Somarelf was reasonable under the circumstances.

II. DISCUSSION
In an opinion filed on December 29, 1988, and as amended on February 7, 1989, the Court set forth the legal parameters of this action. Somarelf v. American Bureau of Shipping, 704 F.Supp. 59 (D.N.J.1988). In sum, the Court found that Fairfield Maxwell's settlement with Somarelf converted the action into one for indemnification by Fairfield Maxwell against ABS; that although Fairfield Maxwell could not press a claim for contractual indemnity, it could proceed on a theory of tort-based indemnity, id. at 63; that ABS's behavior potentially fell into the category of negligent misrepresentation as set out in § 552 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts, id.; and that Fairfield Maxwell could only

Protein preparation {#S2}
-------------------

The full-length CusA membrane protein containing a 6xHis tag at the N-terminus was overproduced in *E. coli* BL21(DE3)Δ*acrB* cells possessing pET15bΩ*cusA*.[@R19] Cells were grown in LB medium with 100 µg/ml ampicillin at 37°C. When the OD~600~ reached 0.5, the culture was induced with 1 mM IPTG, and cells were harvested within 3 h. The collected bacteria were resuspended in buffer containing 100 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.2), 10 % glycerol, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) and 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and then disrupted with a French pressure cell. The membrane fraction was collected and washed twice with buffer containing 20 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.2), 2 M KCl, 10 % glycerol, 1 mM EDTA and 1 mM PMSF, and once with 20 mM HEPES-NaOH buffer (pH 7.5) containing 1 mM PMSF. The protein was solubilized in 1 % (w/v) Cymal-6. Insoluble material was removed by ultracentrifugation at 100,000 × g. The extracted protein was purified with a Ni^2+^-affinity column. The purified protein was then dialyzed and concentrated to 20 mg/ml in a buffer containing 20 mM Na-HEPES (pH 7.5) and 0.05% CYMAL-6.

Protein crystallization {#S3}
-----------------------

Crystals of the 6xHis CusA were obtained using sitting-drop vapor diffusion. A 2 µl protein solution containing 20


encapsulated by two freeze-thaw cycles, followed by gel filtration to remove the untrapped dye. Transport experiments were performed at 25°C on a stopped-flow apparatus (Hi-Tech Scientific) connected to a spectrofluorometer (PerkinElmer LS55). Proteoliposomes and a transport assay buffer (20 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.0 and 1 mM AgNO~3~) were loaded into two separate syringes of equal volume. Transport reactions were initiated by pushing 400 µl fresh reactants at a 1:1 ratio through the 90 µl mixing cell at a flow rate of 2 ml/s. Stopped-flow traces are the cumulative average of four successive recordings at 530 nm with the excitation wavelength at 480 nm.

TCs were built based on partially overlapping ESTs from cDNA libraries obtained from different genotypes and tissues. This makes it unfeasible to predict or rule out the presence of different isogenes.

BAC clones were identified by both primer pairs. The number of positive BAC clones per haploid genome equivalent was on average 2.4 for the gene *VvF3\'5\'H-1*and 2.75 for the gene *VvF3\'5\'H-2*. Local physical maps around the *VvF3\'H*and *VvF3\'5\'H*loci were constructed using all positive BAC clones identified. Those BAC clones were used to query 2,035 BAC contigs resulting from a whole genome physical map. This map was assembled using FPC software \[[@B24]\] at a 10^-50^cut-off from 30,151 fingerprints of BAC clones derived from the same library and corresponding to an approximate coverage of 10X \[S. Paillard, unpublished data\].

Two flavonoid 3\'-hydroxylase genes, *VvF3\'H-1*and *VvF3\'H-2*, were tightly linked in contig ctg253 that consisted of 28 BAC clones and approximately covered 700 kb (Figure [5](#F5){ref-type="fig"}). Six BAC clones contained both isogenes, whilstVrZag30 that was identified in five BACs of ctg313 allowed this contig to be anchored to LG6. Map position of ctg313 was confirmed by mapping the SSCP marker BES9C17-FM developed on a BAC clone embedded into ctg313 that co-segregated with SSR VrZag30. The contig ctg871 was anchored to LG6 by the SSR marker VMC3a8. The contig ctg1320 was anchored to LG6 using the SSR VMC3f12 and the BAC end-derived SSCP marker BES38C24-RM. The contig ctg2373 was anchored to LG6 by the BAC end-derived SSCP marker BES17K4-FM. The SSCP band of the marker BES17K04-FM inherited from \'Cabernet Sauvignon\', which corresponded to the SSCP band amplified from the BAC clone 17K04, was amplified in the mapping population and completely co-segregated with SSR VrZag30 and BES9C17-FM. The marker BES38C24-RM mapped 2.2

The BES of positive BAC clones provided new markers that were closely linked towere therefore expressed also in non-pigmented tissues. Berry flesh and seeds accumulate non-anthocyanin flavonoids such as proanthocyanidins and catechins. Their synthesis is catalysed downstream of the flavonoid hydroxylases by the genes *DFR*, *LDOX*and *BAN*. Gene *BAN*was strongly expressed in seeds, berry flesh and berry skin at pre-*véraison*, whilst was almost undetectable in post-*véraison*berry skin at the stage when the rate of accumulation of proanthocyanins and catechins is declining (Figure [9](#F9){ref-type="fig"}). Sunlight exposed tissues expressed the gene coding for flavonol synthase (*Fls1*). Flavonol synthase converts the products of flavonoid hydroxylases into the UV-protecting flavonols. Inner tissues (seeds and berry flesh) and underground organs (rootlets) did not exhibit detectable levels of *Fls1*.

from the first sampling date at the stage when catechins are rapidly synthesised and peak at 5.6 mg g^-1^of berry skin (Figure [9](#F9){ref-type="fig"}). *VvF3\'H-1*expression decreased 8--10 weeks after blooming, at the ripening stage when most genes committed to the flavonoid pathway have been reported to level off \[[@B1]\]. *VvF3\'H-1*transcripts increased soon after, at the onset of *véraison*(August 12^th^), which were at that point in time 2-fold higher in red berries than in green berries collected from the same bunch. *VvF3\'H-1*expression lasted till harvest, with a secondary peak of expression one week before harvest, concurrently at the peak of anthocyanin content.

The gene *VvF3\'5\'H-1*was weakly expressed during the earliest ripening stages. At the onset of *véraison*, transcripts of *VvF3\'5\'H-1*were poorly detectable in green berries, while they increased 50-fold in berriesthe extent of dirt accumulated on the endoscope, without the need for a complicated operation.
In a conventional endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus, so as to be able to clean and disinfect plural types of endoscopes, i.e., endoscopes different in, for example, length, thickness, and specification of the insertion section thereof, the size of a cleaning tank provided in the endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus is adjusted to an endoscope of the largest size. Further, in a facility having an upper gastrointestinal endoscope and a lower gastrointestinal endoscope, in many cases, each of the endoscopes has been cleaned and disinfected by a special cleaning/disinfecting apparatus for the endoscope.
Furthermore, according to the conventional endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus, in the cleaning and disinfection of an endoscope, an operator carries the used endoscope to the endoscope cleaning/disinfecting

mobile device may include capturing printed information, such as, for example, text data that is provided in a print medium. However, cameras on conventional mobile devices may lack the resolution to capture the text data in a useful form without being so close to the printed media that only a limited amount of text is within the field of view of the camera. Although the camera resolution may be improved, such improvements may be spatially impractical and/or costly.(Phe, donor) and anthracene (An, acceptor) derivatives. In this paper, we describe experiments which determine R(0) values by both methods for a series of Phe-An donor-acceptor pairs in poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene films. Both the location of substituents on the donor and acceptor as well as the choice of the medium had an effect on the measured R(0), which varied between 2.0 and 2.6 nm. We also ascertained that there is some unknown factor, also prevalent in the work of others, which results in the Förster radius being larger when determined by the Förster fit method than by the method of spectral overlap.


right at the end of the detector gate interval. With lines shorter than 20,000 feet, the time spreading is correspondingly less.
To use these neutron bursts and detector gate widths and allow a small safety margin against coincidence, it would be necessary to increase the pulsing and detection period to about 60 microseconds. Since one of the problems with inelastic gamma ray well logging systems is that of obtaining sufficient counting rates to produce a statistically accurate measurement, it is desirable to operate at the higher pulsing frequency, for example, 20 KHz, having a pulsing and detection period of 50 microseconds.
High energy gamma rays, incident upon a NaI (Tl) scintillation counter, can be downscattered in the crystal and counted as a lower energy pulse. In the case of systemspurpose directly or indirectly connected with business dealings of the possessor of the land."

experiment. The dynamic range of calibration curve, y = 58.76x (in microA microM(-1)) + 3.90 (R(2) = 0.999), showed very linear behavior with slope of 58.76 microA microM(-1) (0.1-5 microg L(-1)). The detection limit is as low as 0.002 microg L(-1) (0.031 nM). Non-ionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants were found to have no effect on Cu(2+) detection when using the MPS@NPG electrode as a sensing probe. This method was applied to determining the Cu(2+) in a reference material and three real water samples. The results agreed satisfactorily with the certified values.(introduced in The Orc Way). It’s a bit more light-hearted in some ways, but with plenty of action and some good characterization, if I do say so myself.

It was interesting because, as always, I didn’t plan the story out. I had a basic premise, and I knew some things that I wanted to happen. But some (major) details were still cloudy to me. And that’s why the thing has sat for months only partially finished. I just didn’t know how to proceed with the middle.

Then, when I opened it up yesterday, it hit me. I grabbed a scene from an old and long-dead story, and plopped it in from memory. And the whole thing just fell into place. I suspect that I could have it done in a


to determine the end of the ignition phase of a combustible mixture in an internal combustion engine can be used to adapt ignition timing to compensate for conditions such as thermal status of the engine, characteristics of the fuel and of the combustion air, engine wear and so on.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,345,154 issued to Bainbridge teaches an ionization sensing device to detect harmful gases in a gaseous medium. To compensate for erratic changes in the electrical output signals of the sensing cell caused by variations in the flow of gas, a bias voltage is impressed upon the sensing device.
To improve use of an ionization probe in connection with an engine control system, it is desirable to eliminate the cable capacitance effects of the cable coupling the ionization probePTH-regulated but many were unknown to be regulated by PTH prior to our experiments. Real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR confirmed that 90 and 50% of the genes are regulated more than 2-fold by PTH in UMR 106-01 and rat primary osteoblastic cells, respectively. Most genes belong to the following protein families: hormones, growth factors, and receptors; signal transduction pathway proteins; transcription factors; proteases; metabolic enzymes; structural and matrix proteins; transporters; etc. These results provide a comprehensive and deeper knowledge about PTH regulation of osteoblastic gene expression. Next, we designed a computational method to extract information about transcription factors likely involved in regulating these genes. These factors include those previously known to be involved in PTH signaling (AP-1 and the cAMP response element-binding protein), those that were identified by microarray data


to develop compulsive drug taking after initial exposure [@pone.0050409-Belin1], a high predicting development of addiction-like behavior. The novel object recognition task is based on the natural tendency of rodents to spend more time interacting with a novel object [@pone.0050409-Berlyne1] and informs on recognition memory as well as novelty exploration tendency. 4) We also investigated the relationship between novelty seeking and food reward behavior, using the sugar motivated progressive ratio operant conditioning model. 5) In order to investigate the potential neural substrate underlying the novelty responses to ghrelin or the GHSR antagonist we investigated the effect of GHSR stimulation or blockade selectively in the VTA on the NILA response. 6) In addition to rodent behavioral studies, we evaluated the association between ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the genesthe box to record the exploratory behavior during testing. Light intensity at the floor level was 40 lux.

On the testing day, each rat was brought to the testing room in their home cage and placed in the empty chamber for a 30 min habituation period. Immediately following this habituation, two identical copies of the sample object were placed in the chamber in adjacent quadrants with the animal being placed into an empty quadrant, facing away from the objects (sample session). The sample session was followed by a delay period (10 min) and then by the choice session. The short delay period was set to bias the test towards indicating novelty exploration by minimizing the influence of variation in memory formation processes.

Polymorphisms within the systems found to contribute to novelty seeking in rodents are often associated with novelty seeking in human subjects; this has, for example, been suggested for polymorphisms in dopamine-related genes [@pone.0050409-Ebstein1]--[@pone.0050409-Staner1]. For example, while the lack of dopamine D4 receptors in mice results in a lower novelty seeking behavior [@pone.0050409-Dulawa1], polymorphisms in the dopamine D4 receptor gene, *DRD4*, have been associated with novelty seeking and problematic alcohol use in humans [@pone.0050409-Ray1]. Likewise, while we in this study show ghrelin receptor activation to influence novelty seeking in animals, we were also able to identify associations between SNPs in the *GHSR* gene and the trait novelty seeking in humans. The less common genotype (G/G) of two *GHSR* SNPs, rs2948694 and rs495225, were thus associated with lower scoresdistrict court correctly determined that it had subject-matter jurisdiction, we affirm the district court's denial of appellant's motion to dismiss.

FACTS
In the early 1990s, the South Central Minnesota Multi-County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) issued bonds for the development of a multi-county housing project called the Amberfield Project. The counties entered into an operating-deficit agreement providing that the counties would exercise their "best efforts" *600 to obtain approval for a special tax levy if revenue from the housing program was not adequate to repay the bonds. When the project generated insufficient revenue, the HRA asked the counties to approve a tax levy. Pursuant to decisions by their boards of commissioners, the counties rejected the proposal. As a result, the bonds went into default.

“If I am to be killed,” a bin Laden son wrote to his father in a 2008 letter, “pray for me a lot and give continuous charities in my name, as I will be in great need for support to reach the permanent home.”

The letters were included in a batch of documents released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. They address a range of topics, including fractures between al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda in Iraq, which eventually splintered off into what is now known as the Islamic State; and bin Laden’s concerns about his organization’s public image and his desire to depict it as a united network.

In a letter to one of his wives who had been living in Iran, bin Ladenthe databases "Pubmed" and "Web of Science". Only full texts of original studies regarding the effect of clinical pain and experimentally induced pain and pain reduction on CPM in adults were included. The included articles were scored on methodological quality and through a CPM paradigm. Twelve articles of good to moderate quality were included in this review. Some pain inhibitory medication and oral contraceptives inhibit the CPM mechanism. Removing chronic pain by surgery results in an improved CPM response. This effect is not observed when removing acute pain. Analgesic medication and oral contraceptives might inhibit the CPM response, whereas there is limited evidence that pain-relieving surgery improves CPM in chronic pain patients. However, the results merely suggest that decreased CPM values (as in chronic pain patients) can improve

The guy tried to talk back, and I didn’t want to hear it. I said we were done talking about it. He kept trying to pursue it. And I blew my stack. Twenty years of remembering what I had seen bubbled over and I shouted at him that we were moving on to the next question.

The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus that mounts object-to-be-mounted that has a part such as a semiconductors, a chip and an electronic part, etc., on substrates. Note that the part includes a semiconductor, a chip, an electronic part, a device, etc., and the substrate includes a circuit board, wafer, etc.
As a method for mounting a chip, a device and a part, etc. on a substrate and/or wafer, etc., there is a method recently that mounts the object-to-be-mounted on the upper surfaces of a substrate after arranging locations of the substrate and the object-to-be-mounted by transferring the object, such as a chip, to a specified location of the substrate.
For example, the flip-chip mounting apparatus described in Patent Document 1 comprises a bonding head, which suction-holds a chip,a bonding stage, which suction-holds a substrate, a two sights camera, which arranges locations of a chip and a substrate, and a control device.
After arranging the location of the chip, which are suction-held on the bonding head, and a substrate, which are suction-held on the bonding stage, the height of the bonding stage is adjusted so that the chip contact the substrate, and the chip are placed on the specified location of the substrate. Then the chip is mounted on the substrate while the chip and the substrate are being heated and pressed.    Related Art is Patent Document 1: JP No. 2007-12802, (Paragraph 0019, 0030-0032, FIG. 1)

Once in the efferent duct system, mature spermatozoa are packaged as unencapsulated sperm bundles, that is, spermatozeugmata. We suggest that the histological characteristics of the testis and spermatogenesis of P. mexicana from the Cueva del Azufre, and the viviparous condition where the spermatozoa enter in the female without been in the water, have allowed them to invade sulfurous and/or subterranean environments in Southern Mexico, without requiring complex morphofunctional changes in the testis or the spermatogenetic process.schedule due to public demand.

along the y- and z-axes. As I see it these variances seem to oscillate out of phase.
What would be helpful is if someone could explain how to visualize this so-called twisting dynamics. So far i thought that, starting with an initial (Q-)distribution in phase space,
the distribution evolves with precession frequency proportional to $J_{z}$. But from there I do not see how the variance along $\hat{z}$ would change...
Also as a side note: to my knowledge these type of quadratic in angular momentum terms are not very common, but also appear in nuclear physics as the Lipkin model.

A:

The hamiltonian
$$H=AJ_z^2=A\left(\sum_j S_z^{(j)}\right)^2\tag1$$
is a function of the individual $z$ spin projections $S_z^{(j)}$, and all of those commute. Therefore, the eigenstates will be product states of the form $$|\Psi\rangle=|a_1\rangle\otimes\cdots\otimes|a_N\rangle,\tag2$$ where each $|a_j\rangle$slightly off-diagonal direction. Thus, to obtain squeezing in the $z$ direction, you need to rotate slightly about the $x$ direction. By how much, of course, is a question of exactly what the circumstances are, and it's a function of the product of $A$ and the interaction time; if you want the details, you should first give Kitagawa and Ueda's paper a thorough read, I think.
This is quite a popular protocol for obtaining spin-squeezed states, I think:

Prepare a spin coherent state,
shear it using interactions, and finally
rotate it to the measurement direction.

The third step is crucial, because the shear does not affect the width along the interaction direction, which is what I was nagging you about in the first part of this answer. Once you rotate it, though, you


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Films whose casts more accurately reflect the racial makeup of U.S. and global populations perform better at the box office than their less diverse counterparts, according to an annual study released on Tuesday.

Slideshow ( 2 images )

The University of California, Los Angeles study, which analyzed 2016 film and TV data, comes as debates on race and gender dominate Hollywood, and led to a push by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to diversify its membership.

The study, which covered the top 200 grossing films, found that movies like “Captain America: Civil War” and “Suicide Squad,” in which more than a fifth of the cast were minorities, grossed more globally than movies with primarily white actors, undercutting long-held Hollywood conventional wisdom that diversity does notsections were cut at different heights above the treated section (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 cm above). The upper 2 cm of each section was put on fixative for later microscopy (2% paraformaldehyde and 1.25% glutaraldehyde buffered in 50 mM [l]{.smallcaps}-piperazine-N--N′-bis (2-ethane sulfonic) acid, pH 7.2), whereas the remaining 8 cm were frozen in liquid nitrogen. On June 26, 2006 two samples were taken from untreated control trees of family 24 and 15 using the same procedure.

All subsequent chemical and molecular analyses, including measurements of terpene content, hormone quantity and gene transcript level, were carried out on selected frozen samples based on microscopic analyses of traumatic resin duct (TRD) formation. Tree number 7 and 9 of family 24 were selected as examples of MJ-treated trees with extensive formation of TRD, while


formation after MJ treatment, enhanced transcript levels were detected for *PaIDS*1, *PaIDS*2, and *PaIDS*5. At the site of MJ treatment, transcript abundance was up to 12-fold greater for *PaIDS*1, 2.2-fold for *PaIDS*2 and 22-fold for *PaIDS*5 relative to the expression level detected in trees with low formation of TRD after MJ treatment. Fifteen centimeters above the MJ treated stem section, expression remained high, but sixty centimeters away expression decreased to sixfold, onefold and fourfold for *PaIDS*1, *PaIDS*2, and *PaIDS*5, respectively. In the trees with low formation of TRD, expression levels of *PaIDS*1, *PaIDS*2 and *PaIDS*5 were slightly higher than the constitutive levels detected in the untreated control trees. For *PaIDS*6, no changes in expression levels were measured in the sapwood, neither in trees with high nor low formationthe main IDS genes involved in induced conifer defense (*PaIDS*1, *PaIDS*2, and *PaIDS*5) transcript levels of *PaIDS*6 remained low, supporting a smaller role in induced defense responses (Schmidt and Gershenzon [@CR48]).

The overall increase in mono- and diterpene concentrations in the sapwood correlates well with the induction of the IDS genes that encode the enzymes making their precursors- *PaIDS*1 (GPP and GGPP), *PaIDS*2 (GPP) and *PaIDS*5 (GGPP). However, the observed increase in sesquiterpene levels in the sapwood is not matched by an increase in the corresponding IDS gene encoding FPP synthesis, *PaIDS*4 (Schmidt and Gershenzon [@CR48]). Because the other Norway spruce IDS monitored in this study either have no detectable FPP synthase activity (IDS1, 2 and 5, Schmidt and Gershenzon [@CR48], [@CR49]; Schmidt et al. [@CR52]), or did not


Ethylene induces the same anatomical and cellular defence responses as insect feeding, mechanical wounding, or fungal inoculation in Douglas fir (*Pseudotsuga menziesii*) (Hudgins and Franceschi [@CR22]). The final step in ethylene biosynthesis is catalyzed by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO) and the encoding gene has been used as a marker gene for involvement of ethylene in signal transduction. Although we did not quantify ethylene accumulation, much higher transcript levels of *ACO* at the MJ treatment site in the sapwood of high TRD vs. low TRD and unsprayed control trees hint that ethylene biosynthesis may have been upregulated in high TRD trees. In addition, because of the reported link between mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades and ethylene signalling (Ouaked et al. [@CR37]), increased expression of *MPK*3 also suggests that ethylene signalling maySituational and contextual factors that increase the risk of harm when students drink: case-control and case-crossover investigation.
Better understanding of the circumstances of alcohol-related adverse events experienced by university students could identify opportunities for prevention. We aimed to identify situational and contextual factors associated with unintentional injury, assault, unsafe sex, sexual assault and drink-driving/riding amongst university students. We conducted a Web-based survey of full-time students aged 17-25 years at five New Zealand universities (n = 2683) and carried out between- and within-subjects comparisons (case-control and case-crossover, respectively) of situational and contextual characteristics of events in the last seven days and control drinking occasions.

Studies on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: the level of octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid and measurement of free radical content by electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
The efficacy of electron spin resonance spectroscopy (a technique that measures free radicals) in detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was evaluated in 68 women. In addition, electron spin resonance spectroscopic data were correlated with the phospholipid-esterified octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid (18:2(9,11]/octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid (18:2(9,12] molar ratio, a suggested marker of free radical damage to linoleic acid. Incubation of cervical epithelial cells with the spin-trap N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone and subsequent examination by electron spin resonance spectroscopy gave signals from a nitroxide radical, which has been tentatively assigned to an adduct from either a carbon-centered lipid radical or a lipid alkoxyl radical; no significant differences in either the type of radical detected or the intensity ofQ:

about her plans for introducing a vice-principal to the college. Ady protested, and a mass resignation followed, which included six of the college's council. The matter became of wider public interest, and Lord Curzon (the chancellor of the university) was asked to investigate. Ady's name was eventually cleared, and Jourdain died just before she was to be asked to resign. The inquiry resulted in improvements to the employment conditions of female tutors.

Ady then became a tutor with the Society of Home Students. In 1929 her old college re-employed her as a research fellow.

In 1938 she was awarded the degree of Doctor of Letters (DLitt), after she published a monograph titled The Bentivoglio of Bologna: a Study in Despotism (1937).

Ady died in Oxford in 1958. Following her death, hercold-mode gas accretion dominates in low-mass systems (with less than a few $10^{10}$) and is thought to lead to inverted gradients under the condition that the incoming gas streams are centrally directed, can we observe this phenomenon in dwarf galaxies (with $\Mstar\lesssim10^9$) at high redshifts? The answer is not straightforward since the effect of ejective feedback (galactic winds driven by supernovae) is more pronounced in lower mass galaxies, given their shallower gravitational potential wells and higher specific star-formation rate (sSFR) [see @GalaxiesonFIREFe:2014dn; @2014Natur.509..177V]. On one hand, galactic winds can bring about kinematic turbulence that prevents a smooth accretion of filamentary gas streams directly onto galaxy center, resulting in rapid formation of in-situ clumps [@Dekel:2009bn]. On the other hand, metal-enriched outflows triggered by these powerful winds can help remove


the flux ratios between the oxygen collisionally excited lines (CELs) (, ) and [see the recent review by @Maiolino:2018vq for pros and cons of all strong line ratio diagnostics in the literature]. Despite their bi-modal relationship with metallicity, R$_{23}$ and $f_{\OIII}/f_{\Hb}$ are found to produce the best accuracy among all the strong line ratios used in $z$$\sim$2 studies [@Patricio:2018up]. Notably, multiple independent analyses have shown that there is a clean metallicity sequence in the diagnostic diagram spanned by $f_{\OIII}/f_{\Hb}$ and $f_{\OII}/f_{\Hb}$ [@Andrews:2013dn; @2015ApJ...813..126J; @Gebhardt:2015ui; @Curti:2017fn also see Figure \[fig:bluediagram\]]. Since and are among the brightest and thus most accessible strong ELs in high-$z$ galaxies, the flux ratios involving oxygen CELs will remain the most promising venue for conversion into O/H, since they trace directly the emissivities and abundances ofmost relevant for determining outflow physical properties, which are highly dynamic on small spatial scales, , at sub-kpc level. Next we derive average stellar age maps, using the spatial distribution of EL EW as the primary constraint. We calculate rest-frame EWs from our maps of the emission line flux and stellar continuum flux density. Stellar continuum maps are corrected for emission line contamination as described in Section \[sect:data\]. We correct for stellar Balmer absorption which we estimate to be rest-frame EW $\sim$3 Å in based on the derived galaxy properties [@Kashino:2013ev]. Maps of EW are then converted to average stellar age using a series of stellar population synthesis models [@Leitherer:1999jt; @Zanella:2015ej] assuming 1/5 solar metallicity and constant star formation history.

We also compare the age estimates given by our SED fitting (Section \[sect:data\])


and rest-frame EW using the method described above. The median values given by the former practice are systematically larger than those of the latter by $\sim$0.5 dex, but we note that the uncertainties by the SED fitting are usually much larger due to the absence of prominent continuum spectral age indicators, , and [@Kauffmann:2003cu]. Hence, we adopt the results from rest-frame EW as the average age for stellar populations throughout our paper, as we consider this a more reliable estimate.

Finally, we calculate the gas fraction defined as $$\begin{aligned}
    \fgas=\Sgas/\left(\Sgas+\Sstar\right).
    \label{eq:fgas}\end{aligned}$$ Since we do not directly observe the bulk of interstellar gas, we instead estimate gas surface density by inverting the Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) law [@Schmidt:1959bp; @Kennicutt:1998id], , $\Sigma_{\SFR}\propto\Sgas^{N}$ together with our measurements ofof the wind modes, driven by momentum or energy conservation, can explain the behavior of the mass dependence of $\lambda$ alone, [*within*]{} individual galaxies. Outflows are typically parameterized by either a momentum-driven [@Oppenheimer:2006eq; @Oppenheimer:2008bu] or an energy-driven [@Springel:2003eg] wind mode, both of which are physically well motivated [@Murray:2005jt]. The energy-driven wind scenario assumes that outflows are launched by the thermal pressure of supernova (SN) explosions and/or winds from massive stars. A portion of this thermal energy provides the outflow kinetic energy, , $\Psi\times v^2_{\rm wind} \sim \SFR$, where the wind speed $v_{\rm wind}$ can mimic the escape velocity from DM halo, , $v_{\rm esc}\sim M_{\rm h}^{1/3}$ given by the virial theorem. This results in the scaling relation of $\lambda\propto\Mstar^{-2/3}$, assuming the linear correlation between the mass constituents of


star formation in the central regions heats the ejected gas to a highly ionized phase, while gas entrained in outflows from the outer regions remains cool. If this interpretation is correct, then we expect a distinct signature in the absorption properties of outflowing gas. Outflows from the central regions should be dominated by highly ionized species (e.g. , , ) whereas outflows from the outer regions should have relatively more of the low ions characteristic of $T \sim 10^4$ K gas (e.g. , , ). Both high and low ion species are commonly observed in outflows from star forming galaxies at $z\simeq2$ [@Berg:2018gd; @Du:2018tr], although their spatial distributions are not yet well known [but see @James:2018km]. Our hypothesis suggests a more central concentration of the high ions [*inthe effective spectral resolution is lowered by morphological broadening [@vanDokkum:2011cq], which usually varies with respective to the light-dispersion direction, , the position angle (P.A.). We explicitly take the source morphology into account via convolving the model spectra (stellar continuum + nebular emission) with the direct image in reference frames averaged along light-dispersion directions.

As a result, in Figures \[fig:3751spec\] and \[fig:1203spec\], we show the observed and fitted grism spectra for both of our sources at separate P.A.s. Albeit slightly different in shape and slope, the red curves in 1D spectra comes from the same best-fit spectral model for each source and the difference is due to slightly varying morphological broadening. We also see that the 2D continuum-subtracted spectra are sufficiently clean, preserving only the nebular emission features that we later


(, , , ) and Balmer lines (, ) as a proxy for metallicity (the strong line calibration method). These strong lines are among the most accessible species of nebular line emission at high redshifts, thus rendering this third method the most viable approach to estimate metallicity at extragalactic distances. The line flux ratios can be calibrated against direct $T_{\rm e}$ measurements in galactic regions and nearby individual or stacked galaxy spectra [@Pilyugin:2000vk; @Pilyugin:2001kh; @2004MNRAS.348L..59P; @Pilyugin:2005kn; @Pilyugin:2010bx; @Pilyugin:2012ib; @2015ApJ...813..126J; @Brown:2016bg; @Gebhardt:2015ui; @2016MNRAS.457.3678P; @Curti:2017fn; @Bian:2018km]. These calibrations are often referred to as empirical calibrations. Another kind of calibrations is based on the theoretical predictions given by photoionization models [@Edmunds:1984hd; @McCall:1985bl; @McGaugh:1991bi; @Zaritsky:1994ch; @Kewley:2002ep; @Kobulnicky:2004kr; @Nagao:2011cj; @Dopita:2013bj; @Strom:2017wl], and therefore known as theoretical calibrations.

The separation was performed for 4 h (the pressure was kept at 0.1 or 0.3 MPa), then the liquid was replaced by deionized water to find the membrane resistance again.

Section 1965(b)'s expansion of personal jurisdiction is necessary in light of 1965(b)'s concurrent expansion of venue, ensuring that at least one court will have jurisdiction over all defendants connected with the RICO enterprise. Id.[4] Thus, when justice requires, section 1965(b) allows improperly venued defendants to be brought before the court, and allows the court to exercise jurisdiction over such defendants. Id. The Bridge Court concluded that § 1965(d) authorized personal jurisdiction over the defendants as they did not challenge venue in the forum.
Likewise, Defendants here do not challenge venue in this Court, but move to dismiss based on lack of personal jurisdiction. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(h)(1), the defense of improper venue has been waived as to these Defendants, since it was not raised inNew York engaging in purely local conduct. Subsequently, Defendants allege that certain other defendants engaged in transactions with Plaintiff.

Moreover, they assert that it would offend due process if these Defendants, who had no involvement in the Florida transactions and little or no contact with the State of Florida, had to defend themselves in this Court.
The Court acknowledges the lack of consensus among the courts regarding the necessary due process analysis in assessing personal jurisdiction where the defendant is a United States citizen or national served via nationwide service of process.[6] The cases establish three

Compression for Recovery?

Recovery Compression helps stabilize muscle tissue after a workout, practice or game. Recovery compression also aids in, keeping the swelling of muscle fibers at a micro and manageable level, allowing the muscles to rebuild themselves. The beauty of recovery compression support is that it lets the athlete wake up the next day feeling fresh instead of feeling aches and pains. This is how athletes get better, faster and stronger.

Gravity can cause a build-up of fluid in the muscles and surrounding tissue, especially after exercise, which increases swelling and increases recovery time. Exercise causes muscle damage, including micro-tears leading to inflammation. Recovery Compression helps reduce inflammation that might slow down the recovery process and therefore helps reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

In the present investigation, synthesis of a series of extended conjugated δ-chloro-α-cyano substituted indolyl chalcones (5a-p) was accomplished by reacting 3-cyanoacetylindole 2 with 3-chloro-3-phenyl-propenal 4 in the presence of piperidine. The structural interpretations of newly synthesized compounds were based on chemical and spectroscopic evidences. Anti-tumor evaluation of the synthesized compounds in vitro against MCF-7 (breast carcinoma) cell line revealed that they possess high anti-tumor activities. Among them, compound 5e and 5a demonstrated excellent activity against breast carcinoma (GI50 <0.1 and 4μM respectively) as good as adriamycin (GI50 <0.1μM). The compounds were also screened against the normal Vero monkey cell line, which showed moderate selectivity against inhibition of cancer cells. The effect of extended conjugation on


Estimation of body fat in healthy Swedish women during pregnancy and lactation.
Reliable estimates of changes in body fat are important in studies of energy requirements during human reproduction. It is not known if current methods for the estimation of total body fat (TBF) are adequate for this purpose. In this paper earlier reported data from 29 women are used to show how methodology affects estimates of changes in TBF during reproduction. Skinfold thicknesses are also reported and equations relating these measurements to TBF were developed and used to demonstrate how well the skinfold technique could estimate such changes. No correlation was found between changes in body weight and body fat during early pregnancy or between the maternal changes in body weight and body fat over the complete pregnancy.as a nonreflexive model which violates the conditions of the conjecture and yet remains nonsingular. This proves that even our weakened conditions in the conjecture are still too strong. Finally we describe Vafa and Witten’s discrete torsion mirror pair [@VW:tor].

The pointsets $\cA$ and $\cB$.
------------------------------

Let us consider a general setting for  and describe how the data describing the model can be written in the language of toric geometry. We base this on the construction in [@Morrison:1995yh].

The data determining our family of $N=(2,2)$ two-dimensional models is:

-   A set of $n$ chiral superfields $\{x_1,\ldots, x_n\}$.

-   An abelian gauge group $G$ acting effectively and diagonally on $\{x_1,\ldots, x_n\}$.

-   A family of worldsheet superpotentials $W$, which are polynomials in $\{x_1,\ldots, x_n\}$ invariant under $G$.

For consistency


has charge one. That means $$B^t\nu=P^t R =\ones{m},$$ where $\ones{m}$ is a column vector of $m$ ones. In other words, if we use $\nu$ to denote the image $\nu(1)$ in $N\otimes\Q$, we have $$\langle \beta,\nu\rangle=1, \quad\forall \beta\in\cB.  \label{eq:Bplane}$$

Our interest here is in  suitable for constructing string vacua with spacetime supersymmetry. This imposes an additional condition, namely that the $R$ charges of all gauge invariant chiral operators be integral. Such operators are associated by (\[eq:mmono\]) to points in $M$. Thus $\nu\in N$.

Now we turn our attention to a similar condition for $\cA$. The axial R-symmetry will be non-anomalous if for each generator of the [ *continuous*]{} part $(\C^*)^r\subset G$ the sum of the charges of the chiral fields vanishes [@W:phase].

If the finite group $\Gamma$ is nontrivial, we againinterest are thus those for which $\cA$ and $\cB$ both lie in “primitive” hyperplanes in the sense that we have lattice vectors $\mu$ and $\nu$ defining the hyperplanes (\[eq:Bplane\]) and (\[eq:Aplane\]).[^2]

The Low-Energy Limit
--------------------

A collection of data satisfying this condition will determine a family of s, whose extreme IR limits will be a family of $\cN{=}(2,2)$  of central charge given by [@AG:gmi] $$\ff13 c = d-2\langle\mu,\nu\rangle.$$ (This is also the dimension of the associated  category.) The deformation theory is simple and well understood. The deformation space splits locally as a product of two complex special Kähler spaces associated to deforming the action by the top components of chiral (resp. twisted chiral) multiplets of charge $(1,1)$ (resp. $(1,-1)$) under the left- and right-moving $R$-symmetry. Deformations are not obstructed: all supersymmetric


can put a metric on $Z_\Sigma$ using the moment map in $\frak{g}^*_{\R}$ which is given by the values of the $\rho_\alpha$’s. Following [@AGM:mdmm] we have

\[prop:pl\] The particular triangulation we use for $\cA$ is the one consistent with a convex piecewise linear function taking the values of a “height function” $\log|a_\alpha|$ at each point $\alpha\in\cA$.

Thus, the mirror to $b_\beta=0$ is setting the height function of $\alpha$ to $-\infty$. This results in a component of $Z_\Sigma$ becoming infinitely large. Thus $X_\Sigma$ may decompactify.

The way the vertices of $\Conv\cA$ contribute to the discriminant is therefore quite different to the other faces. The non-vertex faces are associated to singularities induced by noncompactness of the Coulomb branch while the vertices correspond to noncompactness of the Higgs branch. For $\Conv\cB$, all the faces, whether(x3) !.2! (x4) $); (a8) at ($ (x4) !.2!

Now let’s do the same analysis in a more direct way. Simply set $\cA$ to only 5 points given by the monomials in (\[eq:BH1\]). That is $$A^t = \begin{pmatrix}1&-1&-1&-1&-1\\
1&3&0&-1&-1\\1&-1&3&0&-1\\
1&-1&-1&3&0\\1&-1&-1&-1&3\end{pmatrix}$$ The dual of the cone over $\Conv\cA$ is then generated by the rows of the following matrix: $$\begin{pmatrix}1&-51/41&-52/41&-48/41&-64/41\\
1&1&0&0&0\\
1&-1/3&4/3&0&0\\
1&1/13&-4/13&16/13&0\\
1&-1/51&4/51&-16/51&64/51\end{pmatrix}$$ Now intersect this cone with the lattice $M$ and the hyperplane $H_\nu$, where $\nu=(1,0,0,0,0)$. The result is the pointset $\cB$ given by rows of the matrix $$B^t = \begin{pmatrix}1&0&0&0&0\\1&1&0&0&0\\1&0&1&0&0\\
1&0&0&1&0\\1&0&0&0&1\\1&-1&-1&-1&-1\end{pmatrix},$$ which is, of course, the data for the quintic. Thus we recover the quintic as above. We only have one phase, a  phase on $\C^5/\Z_{256}$ as above. Note that we do not have any of the irrelevant detritus sticking out of the  theory as webad fibres, and so we do not have a K3 fibration. Similarly we have a broken elliptic fibration over $\P^1\times\P^1$ in some of the other phases.

Discussion {#sec:conc .unnumbered}
==========

Clearly it would be nice to find a proof of, or counterexample to, our conjectured sufficient condition for a generically nonsingular model. An obvious way to find a counterexample is to search examples via a random walk through extremal transitions. Indeed, the formulation of the conjecture is well-suited to such a search. It would also be very nice to find a necessary condition rather than a sufficient condition. We should note that when $\Conv\cA$ is a simplex, the work of [@Kreuzer:1992bi] effectively solves this problem. The more general situation is, presumably, even more complicated.

If the conjecture is true, a search may


as nontrivial test cases.

Our construction of the GKZ determinant (\[eq:GKZd\]) from the  is not quite complete. We have not derived the powers $u(\Gamma)$. A more complete analysis of the model based on $\cA_h$ in section \[sss:Afaces\] should surely explain these numbers. This should be investigated further.
