FWHM can be expressed as $\Gamma \approx v_{F} \Delta k  $, where $v_{ F}$ can be estimated from the gradient of the band dispersion in the vicinity of $E_{ F}$. By linearly approximating the dispersion at $10 {\rm meV} \leq E_{\rm B}
 \leq 0$ meV obtained from the MDC analysis (red curves in Fig. \[fig2\](a-c)), we can get $v_{ F}$ within errors of about $\pm 10$% and thus $\Gamma $ from MDCs in Fig. \[fig3\](c) as 15$\pm 1.4$ (UN72K), 8.1$\pm 0.6$ (OP90K), and 5.1$\pm 0.4$ meV (OV73K), which are very similar to the values obtained from EDCs (see Table \[table1\]). Thus, we succeeded in obtaining the coherent nodal quasiparticle component from ARPES and estimating its scattering rate $\Gamma$. Here, it is important to compare our resultsincrease from overdoping to underdoping. Such tendency itself is very similar to that of the well-known pseudogap in ($\pi$,0) region, [@timusk99] being intensively discussed to date as the manifestation of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation, charge order, phase fluctuation, and so on. Very recently, systematic investigations of the electronic structures by Raman scattering [@tacon06] and ARPES [@tanaka06; @kondo07] measurements have revealed that there is a strong dichotomy among the near-nodal (Fermi arc) and the antinodal (pseudogap) regions. The Fermi arc region shows the opening of a well-defined $d$-wave superconducting gap with coherent quasiparticles regardless of the doping level, while the pseudogap shows a monotonic increase on underdoping with the enhancement of the incoherent spectral shape. STM measurements also indicate the spatially inhomogeneous (pseudo)gap spectra arising in the underdoped samples, while

He began pulsing in her hands, driving her on to greater efforts, until "Pull back, little girl!"

She pulled right back but kept his head between her lips as he spasmed briefly and shot into her mouth, keeping the volume as low as he could to avoid damaging her human body.

She swallowed, desperately, and smoothly went from fuzzily lacking in her own will to completely and utterly subservient to his.

She almost gave him a sour smile. "These are the first three Supers I met when I got here." Head-and-shoulders images of Growler, Quicksilver and Thunder appeared on screen.

"They're a bit similar," he said, cautiously. "What are they?"

"The first two are Villains, the third one is a Hero."

He raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

Then app started to crash on launch with Can't find model for source store. I noticed that when I'm removing introduced variable the app is not crashing. I figure out that my Core Data couldn't migrate to version 3 because it already was on version 3:

Delete introducedA new study published in the February 2015 issue of the British Journal of Education, Society, and Behavioural Science appears to be the largest yet on the matter of same-sex households and children’s emotional outcomes. It analyzed 512 children of same-sex parents, drawn from a pool of over 207,000 respondents who participated in the (US) National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) at some point between 1997 and 2013.

Results reveal that, on eight out of twelve psychometric measures, the risk of clinical emotional problems, developmental problems, or use of mental health treatment services is nearly double among those with same-sex parents when contrasted with children of opposite-sex parents. The estimate of serious child emotional problems in children with same-sex parents is 17 percent, compared with 7 percent among opposite-sex parents,


But it would be misleading to say this unless I made it clear that these were the pathways by which poverty hurts educational futures—because we know it does.

The academy so privileges arguments in favor of same-sex marriage and parenting that every view other than resounding support—including research conclusions—has been formally or informally scolded. I should know. The explosive reaction to my 2012 research about parental same-sex relationships and child outcomes demonstrates that far more is at work than seeking answers to empirical research questions. Such reactions call into question the purpose and relevance of social science. Indeed, at least one sociologist holds that social science is designed “to identify and understand the various underlying causal mechanisms that produce identifiable outcomes and events of interest.” That this has notA.

Background
==========

Psychosocial problems such as behavioural, emotional, and educational problems are very prevalent among children and adolescents, and may interfere severely with everyday functioning. Only a minority of the children with such problems receive mental health care. In a study of more than 2,000 Dutch children, only 13% of the children with behavioural and emotional problems had been referred to mental health services in the year prior to the assessment \[[@B1]\]. Early treatment, however, may reduce these problems if they are accurately identified \[[@B2]\].

In the Netherlands, the Preventive Child Health Care (PCH) system is one of the most important low-threshold services for the early identification of emotional and behavioural problems in children. Physicians and nurses working in the PCH routinely offer preventive health care to all children aged 0--19       6 (46)     13.0         8.7                           10.9                         15.2

The highest sensitivity for the identification of a clinical CBCL total problems score was found for thea possible reason for this lower cut-off was the substantial level of non-response among parents (response was 63%) \[[@B14],[@B20]\]. In the present study, the response was much higher (87%) and the effect of non-response is therefore smaller. A study of the CBCL showed that Dutch parents also reported fewer problems on the CBCL than US parents but this did not apply to German parents, suggesting that it is a structural pattern \[[@B21]\]. We therefore believe that the lower SDQ scores in the Netherlands are not the result of some flaw in the study, but that they reflect a higher level of well-being among children in this sample (compare, for example UNICEF \[[@B22]\]).

The SDQ scores in this general population sample are most sensitive for a CBCL total problem score


costly, and not suitable for use in the PCH. The extent to which another, shorter, instrument can replicate the global classification of the CBCL will then be a valid measure of the suitability of this instrument.

At the same time, the inclusion of both treatment status and the CBCL as measures in our study is, in our view, a major advantage compared to the study of Bourdon *et al*. \[[@B16]\], since using contact with services as the only criterion neglects the fact that many children with serious problems never contact services because of their problems.

The results of this study show that use of the SDQ can provide effective support for the PCH in the identification of psychosocial problems among children.

Study Design
------------

The proposed study is a randomized controlled clinical trial. A Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) flow diagram for enrollment and randomization in the GOAL study is showed in Figure [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}. Subjects that, at the first screening will be deemed as eligible, according to the inclusion criteria, will undergo a baseline assessment (T_0). During the baseline a general cognitive and physical evaluation will be performed by using the scales, tests and questionnaires reported in the Participant\'s evaluation sub-paragraph. Participants will be then randomly assigned, through the use of a computer algorithm (<http://www.graphpad.com/quikcalcs/randMenu/>) to the control or treatment group. The tele-rehabilitation program will comprise the performing of cognitive exercises 3an APA exercise program has been previously associated with improved self-rated health and improved mood ([@B47]). The proposed exercises aim to train trunk, upper, and lower limbs and are designed to require only: a chair, a gym-stick, two small bottles of water and a resistance band, to be performed. Each module comprises a warming-up, a strengthening and a stretching session, with a level of difficulty (basic and advanced) adjusted according to participants\' training level and physical capabilities (e.g., participants with reduced ability in mobilizing the upper limbs may have a customized program comprising advanced/basic exercises only for the lower limbs and vice versa). Social level is addressed with the involvement of caregivers and patients in some leisure activities. The caregiver module includes suggestions of social activities to be


i have never needed a warranty. My 85 Camry i sold at 330K miles, just out of boredom, but it still ran new. Then my 99 Corolla LE died at 260K miles, but they were some brutal 260K miles, and i say died, the clutch went at 260K miles and i couldn't justify fixing it. But then i never let a dealer fix any of my cars, if they break i do it myself. I honestly don't trust any of them anyway... But if i sell the van the warranty is transferable, which is the only plus.

If the road is gravel, I would be concerned with the ground clearance. Although the Sienna under consideration has AWD, it may have insufficient ground clearance for your needs. The underbody ofthe Sienna likely does not have skid plates to protect vital components underneath the vehcile. You probably should consider an SUV. Good luck.

In our case we were moving out of a 2002 Honda Odyssey EX with nearly 140k miles, and we got paid $5,600 for it. So net for us was the opportunity to step up to a 'like new' van with a comprehensive warranty for under $13.5k. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

It really depends... The departure and takeoff angles are not great, and on a weekly off-road adventure to a friends house we regularly scrape the front air dam and our rear hitch. The hitch I understand given that even the Curt unit which tuck up fairly well still lowers the already low rear bumper


Salonia gens

The gens Salonia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome.  Members of this gens are first mentioned as early as the fourth century BC, but few of them attained any of the higher offices of the Roman state, until the latter part of the first century AD, when they married into the imperial family.

Origin
The nomen Salonius belongs to a large class of gentilicia formed from words ending in -o, using the suffix .  The root of the name is salo, a salt-dealer, from sal, salt, and indicates that an ancestor of the Salonii was probably a dealer in salt, one of the most important commodities of antiquity.

Members

 Publius Salonius, military tribune in 342 BC, had been either tribune or centurion primus pilus for several consecutivebroad requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They discussed PPACA's employer mandate, which will require businesses with 50 or more full-time-equivalent employees to offer health benefits to full-time employees and their dependents or face potential penalties. They also talked about new reporting rules that expand the information that businesses will be required to provide to the Internal Revenue Service and employees.

Neblett, the NRA's senior director of labor and workforce policy, suggested that restaurateurs stay on top of new regulations, delve into their workforce demographics to understand what parts of the law affect them, talk to their insurers about possible changes in benefit-plan design, and think about how to communicate with employees about the law. "This law will raise lots of questions, and many employees will


the IRS's "common control" clause will determine whether a business must consider all of their employees in one group or could consider them separately, Neblett noted, and advised operators to talk to their tax advisors for more information. She included several sample calculations to show how businesses would measure whether they meet the threshold and would thus be subject to the employer mandate. This involves counting the number of full-time employees as well as the hours worked by part-time employees.

-- Who's considered a full-time employee? The law requires businesses covered by the mandate to offer health plans to full-time employees and their dependents, but the government has not yet spelled out the definition of "full time." The law states that a full-time employee is a person who works30 hours per week on average in any given month. To implement that part of the law, the Treasury Department has proposed defining a full-time employee as an individual who works 130 hours in a calendar month. The agency has suggested that employers can use a three- to 12-month "lookback" period to see if existing employees who work variable hours meet the definition of full-time. However, the regulatory guidance isn't set in stone yet, Neblett noted.

-- What type of health-benefit plans must be offered? PPACA requires employers covered by the mandate to offer full-time employees "affordable" health plans that meet a "minimum value" standard. These definitions are also pending, Neblett says. The law considers a plan "affordable" if full-time employees are not required to spend more than 9.5


the complex numerical calculations. The goal of this study is to find a simple and easy-to-use approximation for the nucleus-nucleus potential, which takes into account the bulk and shell effects.

The full energy of a nucleus consists of the sum of macroscopic and microscopic contributions according to the shell-correction method proposed by Strutinsky [@s]. The shell effect contribution has been successfully evaluated using the Strutinsky shell-correction prescription [@s; @s72], which is simpler than the full microscopic treatment. The shell-correction energy is an important ingredient of various modern nuclear physics models because the shell corrections strongly improve the modeling accuracy. Many key parameters such as atomic masses [@apdt; @mnms], fission process [@s; @s72], cluster decay of heavy nuclei [@msd; @dclust], and fusion cross section hindrance at deep sub-barrier energies [@dhindr]around the barrier height than the one obtained in the frozen density approach. Approximation (9) also drastically simplifies the numerical calculations of the macroscopic potential $V_{\rm m}(R) $ in the framework of the ETF approach with the Skyrme and Coulomb forces.

The proton (neutron) density distributions of separated spherical nuclei are evaluated in the framework of the Hartree-Fock method using the SLy4 parameter set of the Skyrme force [@sly4]. The BCS pairing with the Lipkin-Nogami method [@ln] for approximate particle number projection is used in the calculation. The microscopic proton and neutron densities are given on the mesh with step $h$. At small distances between nuclei, when the densities of nuclei are overlapped, let us propose that the proton and neutron density values of each nucleus are the same


[@msd]. So, the perturbation of the single-particle nucleon levels, which is proportional to the strength of nucleon-nucleus interaction, reduces the absolute value of the shell-correction energy.

The perturbation of the single-particle level energies and the interaction between nucleons belonging to different nuclei are increased when the distance between the surfaces of the interacting nuclei decreases. The perturbation strength is related to the density distribution in the nucleus induced by the disturbance as well as to the radius of the nucleon-nucleon force. The density distribution is often parametrized by the Fermi distribution. Since the radius of the nucleon-nucleon force is very short, it is reasonable to approximate the shell-correction contribution to the full nucleus-nucleus potential around the touching point of two nuclei as [@dclust; @dhindr] $$\begin{aligned}
\delta E_{12}(R) \approx [\delta E_1light and medium nucleus-nucleus systems are close to the empirical ones from Refs. [@duttp; @nbdhgmh; @gg]. Unfortunately, the evaluated values of the fusion barrier heights for heavy and very heavy nucleus-nucleus systems are higher than the empirical ones. Note that a similar tendency is found in Ref. [@nbdhgmh] when the barrier heights of nucleus-nucleus potentials are obtained in the framework of the semiclassical energy-density approach with the frozen density distribution of two nuclei [@d2002] and the SkM$^\star$ parameter set of the Skyrme force [@skmstar] (see also Fig. 1). Such a tendency is probably related to a systematical underbounding [@dsn] of very heavy nuclear systems and/or nuclei in the framework of the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach. Moreover, the overestimation of empirical barrier heights for heavy and very heavy nucleus-nucleus systems is


potential, while the strong positive shell-correction contribution to the full potential leads to the weak enhancement of the deep sub-barrier fusion cross section; see Ref. [@dhindr] for details.

In conclusion, the phenomenological relaxed-density nucleus-nucleus potential with the shell-correction contribution is discussed in detail. The shell-correction contribution to the potential is related to inner structure of nuclei, which is disturbed by nucleon-nucleon interactions of colliding nuclei. A simple approach for the evaluation of the shell correction contribution to the full potential is proposed. The shell-correction contribution shows how the full potential for the specific nucleus-nucleus system deviates from the global macroscopic potential. The global macroscopic potential smoothly depends on $A_1$, $Z_1$, $A_2$ and $Z_2$ in contrast to the shell-correction part. The shell-correction contribution to the full potential is very importantPhys. Rev. C 61, 034606 (2000).

Napoli have captured the hearts of fans and neutrals with their performances in Europe this season, but in their domestic games they have conspired to shoot themselves in the foot again and again, and again. In Serie A they have beaten the best but have been beaten the weaker sides as well. So why are Napoli enduring such a mediocre season?

Serie A is boring, again. Last season saw an end of season run-in where four sides were potential candidates for the Scudetto. Post-World Cup seasons can often throw up surprises, perhaps because players in the top sides will have exaggerated schedules.

a prolonged period of time. In addition, we evaluated whether raw mass spectra obtained with the instrument of one company (Ultraflex III, Bruker, Germany) allow species identification by using the software and the reference database established on an instrument of another company (Axima Confidence, Shimadzu, Japan), whereby the two most widespread instrument series were involved. The ability to cross-reference specimens with non-parent databases would strongly enhance the value and availability of in-house reference databases established at different institutions.

Sand fly collection and morphological identification {#Sec3}
----------------------------------------------------

Mass spectra were determined from sand fly specimens of 20 species obtained from field collections (9 species), colonies (7) or both (4) (see Table [1](#Tab1){ref-type="table"} for origin, year of collection). Sand flies were captured using CDC miniature light traps (John W. Hock Co.

Conclusions {#Sec14}
===========

The power of mass spectrometric identification of organisms depends on the quality of the available database (i.e., reference quality, taxonomic coverage) and its accessibility. The first aspect requires the participation of expert taxonomists, particularly when dealing with closely related species, and experienced users of mass spectrometers who keep a high quality standard for generating the spectra. It further advocates for a centralized, comprehensive database, rather than scattered in-house ones. Accessibility (i.e., the analysis of specimens by third parties) might be an issue at scientific institutions where capacity for analysis, availability and willingness of an operator could be limiting factors.

the last senators to ask questions during the open portion of the committee hearing, before it went to a closed session.

Wyden: "I hope we can do this in just a yes or no answer, because I know Sen. Feinstein wants to move on. Last summer, the NSA director (Keith Alexander) was at a conference and he was asked a question about the NSA surveillance of Americans. He replied, and I quote here, ‘The story that we have millions, or hundreds of millions, of dossiers on people is completely false.’ The reason I’m asking the question is, having served on the committee now for a dozens years, I don’t really know what a dossier is in this context. So, what I wanted to see if you could give meafter the Snowden leaks.

For his part, Clapper first stood by his comments. On June 6, he told the National Journal, "What I said was, the NSA does not voyeuristically pore through U.S. citizens' emails. I stand by that," Clapper said. (As the actual exchange shows, Clapper never mentioned email.)

Two days later, in an interview with NBC, Clapper further explained that he found himself in a difficult position when confronted with Wyden’s question.

"I thought though in retrospect I was asked (a) ‘when are you going to stop beating your wife’ kind of question, meaning not answerable necessarily, by a simple yes or no," he said. "So I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least most untruthful manner, by saying, ‘No.’"

Clapper later admitted he made a


Q:

Why is $\lim_{t\to 0}W(t)=0$ equivalent to $\forall n\ge 1 \; \exists m\ge 1\; \forall r\in \mathbb{Q}\cap (0,\frac{1}{m}]:|W(r)|\le \frac{1}{n}$

Let $t \mapsto W_t, t>0$ be continuous. We want to show that $\lim_{t\downarrow 0}W(t)=W(0)=0.$ $W$ here is actually the reflected Brownian motion $tB(1/t)$. It says in the text that the limit $\lim_{t\to 0}W(t,w)=0$ if, and only if,
$$\forall n\ge 1 \; \exists m\ge 1\; \forall r\in \mathbb{Q}\cap (0,\frac{1}{m}]:|W(r)|=|rB(\frac{1}{r})|\le \frac{1}{n}.$$
I'm not sure why we only need to consider rational points here. What we want to show is that $\forall \epsilon>0$ there is some $\delta>0$ such that $|t|<\delta$ then $|W(t)|<\epsilon$. But how is this a consequence, or equivalent to the above statement? I tried showing this as follows:
We can choose $n$ such that $1/n<\epsilon$, and $\delta<1/m$. Then we want to show that $|W(t)|<\epsilon$of noncommutative spacetime in which Lorentz symmetry might be deformed rather than broken is $\kappa$-Minkowski [@gacmaj; @majrue; @kpoinap; @lukieFT; @gacmich; @wesskappa]: $$\left[x_\mu, x_\nu \right] = i L_p ( \delta_{\mu}^\beta \delta_{\nu}^0
- \delta_{\nu}^\beta \delta_{\mu}^0 )
\label{kmindef}$$ ([*i.e.*]{} $[x_j, x_0] = i L_p x_j$, $[x_m, x_l] = 0$). It appears[^4] possible to introduce this $\kappa$-Minkowski noncommutativity as an observer-independent description of spacetime, at the price of a deformation of the Lorentz transformations. Particles progating in $\kappa$-Minkowski are governed by an energy/momentum dispersion relation which is $L_p$ dependent (but observer independent) and different from $E=\sqrt{c^2 p^2 + c^4 m^2}$.

Some implications for astrophysics and cosmology
================================================

Quantum-gravity effects are extremely small, since their magnitude is typically set by some power of the ratio between the Planck scale and the wavelength of the particle under study. There are


rather long tradition (see, [*e.g.*]{}, Ref. [@veneziano; @huang; @cremonini; @casadiocosmo]). In Ref. [@dsrcosmo] it is observed that the recent proposal of Doubly Special Relativity schemes provides an opportunity for a reformulation of the “time-varying speed of light" cosmological scenario [@vsl] (which had been previously structured relying on a preferred frame).

In Escherichia coli, RecBCD processes double-stranded DNA breaks during the initial stages of homologous recombination. RecBCD contains helicase and nuclease activities, and unwinds and digests the blunt-ended DNA until a specific eight-nucleotide sequence, Chi, is encountered. Chi modulates the nuclease activity of RecBCD and results in a resected DNA end, which is a substrate for RecA during subsequent steps in recombination. RecBCD also acts as a defence mechanism against bacteriophage infection by digesting linear viral DNA present during virus replication or resulting from the action of restriction endonucleases. To avoid this fate, bacteriophage lambda encodes the gene Gam whose product is an inhibitor of RecBCD. Gam has been shown to bind to RecBCD and inhibit its helicase


Legislatures.

Around 4.4 million people received about $30 billion in cash assistance in fiscal year 2011 through the federal-state welfare program known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. States set their own eligibility requirements. (An estimated 44.7 million people received food stamps, and that program has long barred people from using their benefits to buy anything other than certain foods.)

Welfare recipients are issued their benefits via Electronic Benefit Transfer, or EBT, cards, which can be used like debit cards to buy things or to withdraw cash from ATMs. Some states have barred the use of the cards to buy certain prohibited products; others have banned cash purchases of such items, too.

But cash transactions are all but impossible to police. To make it more difficult for welfare recipients to simplyWeird Pet Reactions to Toys Turning On?

So, this is going to sound strange, but my cat was in the room when I clicked on a vibrator (not to use it, just maintaining it) and he bristled up, stood on his hind legs like a bear and, after trying to stare the vibrator down, began cautiously swatting at it. It was hilarious, but I've never seen him do anything like this before. Do vibrators have an effect on cat's senses that I'm not aware of? Do anyone else's pets have strange reactions to their toys being on?

The results showed that NBP effectively attenuated progression of hypertensive nephropathy by decreasing urinary albumin excretion and blood urea nitrogen levels. It significantly decreased blood pressure (although less markedly than losartan) and the incidence of glomerulosclerosis. In addition, it alleviated tubular impairment and significantly decreased oxidative stress, as well as the expression of pro‑inflammatory cytokines and TGF-‑β1 in kidney tissues. In conclusion, the results suggested that NBP may slow the progression of hypertensive nephropathy by a variety of mechanisms.Michigan Animal Rescue and Adoption Listings

Your lifestyle, your legacy

April 15, 2010

By Dr. Bill Schenck

Each generation leaves a legacy.

The “Greatest Generation’s” legacy was victory in World War II and the boom of the 1950s. What will our legacy be? Twitter? Blogs? Unfortunately, our legacy is that our children will have a shorter life span than our own. This is the


issue, including diabetes and many forms of cancer.

So what do we do? Well, we do a lot. And most importantly we do it right now. The good news is that we know exactly what is causing this epidemic. Our lifestyle choices are raising a generation of malnourished children who prefer the ease of Cheetos and television to the more appropriate youthful choices of apples and playtime. Since lifestyles are created over many years and by a series of choices, they are difficult to reverse. We no longer have the luxury of believing lifestyle change is too complicated. Instead, let us focus on what we can do right now. If we do a few things right in the short term, the long-term outlook can change in profound ways.

Content ranges from movie and music reviews to high school sports scores to art. A calendar section highlights events happening throughout the state.

“Pretty much everything on the site is a direct result of feedback we got from young adults,” said Choate, who also works as a reporter for the Observer and The Charlotte Citizen, another community newspaper owned by Williston Publishing.

As the Web site describes, “Firefly is a community where Vermont’s young adults can download their lives and show the world more than a thing or two about what’s important to them. It’s a place where they can get local news about people their age and see what they’re up to. … Ultimately, Firefly is a place where Vermont’s young adults can be heard.”

Providing control signals to a controller of the pool lighting system may present challenges. For example, while wireless communication signals (e.g., radio frequency signals) provide an inexpensive and effective mechanism to control electronics, the wireless communication signals are unable to penetrate substantial depths of water to reach any submerged controller of the pool lighting system. Thus, the radio frequency signal may be completely attenuated before reaching the controller of the pool lighting system. Moreover, a system relying on counting power signal pulses to control a change of the pool lighting system to a lighting profile associated with the number of power signal pulses detected may be slow

However, its cellular functions have not been previously reported. OVAAL is encoded by three exons (UCSC Genome Browser; [*SI Appendix*, Fig. S1*F*](https://www.pnas.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1073/pnas.1805950115/-/DCSupplemental)) and was readily detectable in ME4405 melanoma cells by Northern blotting ([Fig. 1*C*](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}). Consistent with qPCR analysis, up-regulation of OVAAL in TRAIL.S cells and UMI-77.S cells was confirmed by Northern blotting ([Fig. 1*C*](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}). Transduction of three independent OVAAL shRNAs into TRAIL.S and UMI-77.S cells markedly induced apoptosis ([Fig. 1 *D* and *E*](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}), along with associated activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of its substrate PARP ([Fig. 1*F*](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}). Moreover, recapitulating the acquired resistance phenotype, overexpression of OVAAL in ME4405 cells conferred resistance to both TRAIL- and UMI-77--induced apoptosis ([Fig. 1 *G*--*I*](#fig01){ref-type="fig"}).

of senescence may be a second major action resulting from antagonizing OVAAL.

Finally, our study provides significant insights into the regulatory relationship between OVAAL and c-Myc, the "master regulator" whose aberrant expression is commonly associated with tumorigenesis, cell growth, and self-renewal ([@r64], [@r65]). OVAAL was shown to be subject to transcriptional regulation by c-Myc with two active binding motifs localized to the *OVAAL* promoter. However, there is also a feedback loop whereby OVAAL regulates c-Myc posttranslationally through the stabilization of c-Myc protein levels. Moreover, while the inhibitory role of OVAAL in the inhibition of apoptosis appears to be uncoupled from c-Myc, the role of OVAAL in cell proliferation and evasion of senescence involves c-Myc.

The expression of c-Myc is tightly controlled by multiple mechanisms, such as regulation of gene transcription,FH1t (BsmB1) UTG plasmid.

Will Saudi Arabia hold a fair trial in Khashoggi murder case?

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir says the kingdom is determined to find all the facts in the case [Hamad I Mohammed/Reuters]

Istanbul, Turkey - When Saudi Arabia's top prosecutor met with Istanbul's chief public prosecutor on Monday, it was a rare display of cooperation in the investigation into the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Nearly three weeks since the two sides agreed to conduct a joint probe and almost a month since Khashoggi was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Ankara and Riyadh appear to be pursuing separate strategies with seemingly divergent aims.

The Saudis have also launched their own internal investigation, arresting 18 individuals, but have rejected Turkish requests to extradite the men.

For its part, Turkey has drip-fedof hip hop also led to the closing of Sugar Hill Records, one of the labels that helped contribute to early hip-hop and that, coincidently, rejected LL's demo tape. As the album served as an example of an expansion of hip hop music's artistic possibilities, its commercial success and distinct sound soon led to an increase in multi-racial audiences and listeners, adding to the legacy of the album and hip hop as well.

Difficulty accepting homosexual feelings

Someone who is gay, but cannot accept it, will find it easier to "pass" as the other sex so as to appear heterosexual. This is particularly popular among teenage girls. There are no more teenage lesbians. They're all "trans" now. In fact, PFLAG, a support group initially set up in the 1970's for parents and gay teens is now full-on trans. There are no plain old homosexual kids there any more.

There's even a recognized social pecking order among the LGBT community, with transgenders at the top and butch lesbians way down at the bottom.

tall tales on the campaign trail. Biden lied in his biography, Promises to Keep, about talking tough with Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic; in 2008, he lied about being “shot down” in a helicopter over Afghanistan–a lie that attracted far less media attention than Hillary Clinton’s famous “Tuzla Dash,” which helped Obama seal his primary victory.

The failing meme that Ryan is dishonest is important to the Obama campaign and its media allies precisely because Ryan’s great strength is his honesty–specifically, his unique courage in telling voters the truth about the country’s dire financial straits and what we can do about them. That honesty carries over into his political persona, which is sincere and straightforward–and successful, judging by his positive poll numbers.

Hugo Chavez is one of the US biggest enemies

The United States said new data about possible links between Venezuela and Colombia's FARC guerrilla group is disturbing but Washington is far from a decision to put Caracas on a terrorism blacklist. Colombia on March 1 conducted a raid in Ecuador that killed top FARC leader Raul Reyes, sparking a crisis that was defused on Friday with a Colombian apology and promise not to take similar action if its neighbors cooperated in fighting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

The Colombian government seized several computers as a result of the raid, saying they yielded data that proved leftist-led Ecuador and Venezuela was aiding the FARC, which the United States classifies as a terrorist group. U.S. Assistant Secretary

One day, after returning from Rome, in the midst of begging for the poor at church doors, just outside the walls of Assisi, in the small ruined church of San Damiano, he stopped to pray before an icon of Christ crucified. Painted as it was in the Byzantine style, it showed not a contorted,around him, the Church extending north, south, east, and west, the “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church” as institutionalized then throughout western Europe, was itself falling into ruins, filled as it was with corruption, materialism, and crusading violence. It did not take long for Francis to see the bigger picture. Gradually like-minded souls gathered around him to live the gospel life, and when finally his company grew to eleven, with himself making the twelfth, the Pope blessed him and approved the simple way of life he embraced, which was based on a few gospel sayings. The pope, who happened to be Innocent III, one of the most important and powerful popes in the entire history of the Church, had experienced two dreams, a dream in which he saw


his shoulder supporting the tottering Church of the Lateran, for Francis was not in the game of promoting ecclesiastical hierarchical power in a corrupt Christendom.

Indeed, the game that Francis was playing was another game entirely. And although one could say that Francis was initiating “a movement for religious renewal”, it was certainly not in any sense a game of “reformation” – or for that matter a game of “counter-reformation” – that he was playing, the heretical Waldensians, Brothers of the Free Spirit, and Cathars being at that time in full competition with the Catholic Church. As P.H. Felder puts it (as quoted in Omer Englebert, Saint Francis of Assisi, 1950, p. 238):

That St. Francis was a social reformer such as, since Jesus Christ, the world had not seen,Gospel to souls.

To give the Gospel to souls, that was the game, that was the passion, that was the God-given mission of Saint Francis – not the polemical business of pushing reforms onto an errant Church – that, and awakening in souls a reverence for the Blessed Sacrament, the Body and Blood of Christ in the consecrated bread and wine in the Holy Eucharist on the altar – for, as he says forthrightly in his Testament, dictated just before his death (Marion A. Habig, ed., St. Francis of Assisi – Writings and Early Biographies: English Omnibus of the Sources for the Life of St. Francis, Franciscan Herald Press, 1983, p. 68ff):

Agitation settings of 1,000 rpm in the initial proof of concept (POC) experiment showed limited growth and lower viability than similar conditions at larger scales. Growth rates and viabilities rebounded for some conditions when agitation rates were reduced to 600 RPM at minimum volume levels, post‐exchange. Subsequent cultures were run with a step‐increase from 600 to 800 RPM daily, as volumes increased, and showed similar growth and viability to large scale runs, as well as sufficient kLa for high density cultures. Gassing was composed of oxygen on demand through the dip tube, along with CO~2~ as needed for pH control. A minimum flow ofmacros were written to extract offline and online data (such as Bioreactor pH, pCO~2~) from either CSV files, or from an online Shire data network. The script would then create CSV files that could be uploaded to the ambr15 system as biological values or actionable variables to control feeds, bleeds, sampling, and any other necessary parameters.

As previously discussed, the dynamic portion of perfusion cell culture processes cannot be mimicked absolutely with a noncontinuous system. Idealized MATLAB models were developed to help select operational parameters that would likely mimic bench scale perfusion systems. These simulations were used to model a step change in perfusion and pseudo‐perfusion systems, with model comparisons and


selections based on proximity to an idealized concentration in true perfusion bioreactor, concentration variation during steady state, degree of overshoot or undershoot during the dynamic phase, and real‐world feasibility. Base and glucose additions, along with evaporation loses, were expected to be minimal, and not included in the perfusion calculations. Additionally, the ambr15 reactors have minimum and maximum operating volumes of 8 mL and 15 mL, respectively. This limits the ratio of starting volume to volume added; however, it was found that reactors could be operated at a low volume of 7.75 mL and a high volume of 16 mL, if sufficient antifoam is added. These constraints were included in the simulations. A target perfusion rate of 1 vessel volume of reactor exchanged per day (1 VVD) was used for the comparisons.worldwide to sites managed by the defendant in the lawsuit (who never showed up in court).

Google pointed out (quite reasonably) that Canadian courts don't have jurisdiction over the global internet any more than a Chinese or Iranian or Russian court would have jurisdiction across the globe. Over and over again, the Canadian courts more or less ignored the issue, saying, "doesn't matter, block it, this is bad stuff." We've discussed at great length the dangers of such a decision, so we won't rehash it now -- go read the previous posts, if you want to review that argument.

But here's where things get... odd. Most people assumed that this was the end of the road on this case. The Supreme Court in Canada is the top of the chain.


able manipulator of the scene and utterly ruthless,” said Crispin Hawes, managing director of Teneo Intelligence, who has followed Maliki’s career closely for years.

“That ruthlessness is partially explained by his entirely pragmatic view of Iraqi politics. His goal is solely to further the interests of his (Shi’ite) constituency.”

Short on charm, he has a steely determination to best his enemies, especially after the 2010 parliamentary poll which the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc led by Iyad Allawi narrowly won, only to be outmaneuvered and shut out by Maliki in the aftermath.

He may have won out against Allawi, a secular Shi’ite, securing a new mandate with Iranian and U.S. support after eight months of political infighting, but the initial shock defeat appears to have narrowed his ruling style.

A former senior adviser topeople were killed.

The army is locked in a standoff with Sunni militants who overran Falluja, a city west of Baghdad, more than two weeks ago in a challenge to Maliki’s government.

They are led by the al Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which is fighting in western Iraq and Syria to carve out a cross-border Islamist fiefdom.

“The battle will be long and will continue,” Maliki said on state television on Wednesday, calling for world support. “If we keep silent it means the creation of evil statelets that would wreak havoc with security in the region and the world.”

Maliki has ruled out an assault on Falluja by the troops and tanks ringing the city of 300,000, but has told local tribesmen to expel ISIL, which has


exploited anger among minority Sunnis against a government they accuse of oppressing them.

Al Qaeda loyalists are pursuing a relentless campaign of attacks, mostly aimed at security forces, Shi’ite civilians and Sunnis seen as loyal to the Shi’ite-led government.

The violence has dismayed leaders of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region. “This is a disaster,” its president’s chief of staff Fuad Hussein told Reuters. “Now the whole country is being threatened by terrorists, so we need to have a common front.”

At least seven bombs struck the Iraqi capital, mostly in Shi’ite districts, killing 37 people and wounding 78, police and medics said. A car bomb in Dujail, a Shi’ite town 50 km (31 miles) north of Baghdad, killed three people and wounded seven.

The bombings followed attacks that cost at least 24 livesweeks ago in an embarrassing setback to Maliki.

His chances of a third term after a parliamentary election in April hang partly on his ability to project an image as a strong national figure who can impose security and stability.

Maliki has used al Qaeda’s resurgence to muster foreign support for his government, which has otherwise disappointed the United States and allies by moving close to Iran and its failure to forge consensus with the once-dominant Sunni minority.

International engagement was evident on Monday with a visit to Baghdad by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

“We are happy that the whole world stood by us in an unprecedented way,” the 63-year-old Maliki, who has been in office since 2006, told Reuters on Sunday.

But as security unravels in Falluja, Ramadi and other parts of


fielding questions at an ornate, flag-decked reception room in his three-storey palace in Baghdad’s heavily guarded “Green Zone”.

Any tribesmen fighting alongside the Iraqi army against al Qaeda would be considered part of Sahwa.

“They will get regular salaries and will be recognized by the government as security personnel and will get all the benefits of the security forces members,” he said.

NO ASSAULT ON FALLUJA

Maliki said there would be “no limit” to recruiting, arming and equipping Sahwa fighters, whose monthly wages were more than doubled a few months ago to 500,000 dinars ($430).

Money was not a problem, said the prime minister, since all such expenses would be met outside the state budget.

“Because security is the priority in such circumstances, the cabinet last week approved keeping security (costs), including weapons, salariesnot a battle of armies, it’s a guerrilla battle, street fighting,” Maliki said, adding that troops and tribesmen needed anti-aircraft guns to use as infantry weapons against foes amply supplied with arms smuggled from distant Libya.

The Iraqi leader said the Anbar campaign would be followed by a “clean-up” against al Qaeda in Mosul, Salahaddin and Diyala provinces. “We started in Anbar and won’t stop until we finish off the last cell in this sinister organization,” he declared.

ISIL is also on the frontline of the civil war in Syria, where it is battling President Bashar al-Assad’s troops as well as rival rebel groups incensed by its ruthless behavior.

Maliki said internal fighting between ISIL and the Nusra Front, another al Qaeda-linked group in Syria, was weakening both organizations and reducing


pressure on Iraq.

He asserted that most weapons used by militants in Iraq were coming from Syria – although fighters and arms move both ways across the porous 605-km (378-mile) border, including some Iraqi Shi’ite militiamen who are fighting on Assad’s side.

Maliki said Iraq was neutral in the Syrian conflict and frowned on any meddling by foreign fighters or outside powers.

“We believe that aligning with any of the parties in the crisis is very risky. We absolutely refuse to be involved in the crisis in any way. No weapons, no supplies and no fighters.”

Maliki, whose government has been accused by Washington of allowing Iranian flights to deliver weapons to Assad’s forces across Iraqi airspace, said only negotiations could end the war.

“We support Geneva 2,” he said, referring to nextfighting there.

“As soon as we heard the army was going to attack the city we became very worried because civilians will be the sacrifice,” said Monzher Hazallah, head of a family of nine.

He said masked gunmen had taken over Falluja, but it was not clear how many were ISIL fighters, suggesting that Maliki had emphasized the role of al Qaeda’s role, rather than Iraqi Sunnis with grievances, to justify an attack on the city.

“In our opinion, he chose the timing as part of his election campaign,” he said, referring to parliamentary polls in April.

Abdel Kareem, who fled Falluja five days ago with his family of 10, said army bombardment had killed one of his neighbors: “The army is shelling residential districts,” he said. “You don’t know where it


1. Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a polyester film for a magnetic tape. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polyester film which has high strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions and excellent abrasion resistance and is suitable as a base film of a magnetic tape.
2. Description of the Related Art
Hitherto, as a base film of a long-play video tape, a so-called longitudinal tensilized film has been used. Recently, with the increased need for a magnetic tape with high image quality and high resolution, a particle size of magnetic powder is decreased and magnetic powder particles are highly orientated in a magnetic layer. As a result, the magnetic layer has decreased strength in the transverse direction. In addition, since a thickness of theand powder tends to be by abrasion. That the fallen particles and powder adhere onto the calendering roll, whereby productivity of the magnetic tapes is greatly deteriorated.
To avoid such problems of fallen particles and powder, kinds, particle sizes and amounts of the particles to be added to the film have been examined, but no satisfactory solution has been found.

Labor Notes: We read a lot about the “gig economy,” where workers cycle through multiple jobs using app-based companies like Uber, TaskRabbit [for everyday tasks such as cleaning or moving], and Mechanical Turk [for online tasks such as labeling images]. Is this really the future of work?

Kim Moody: One thing to notice is that, aside from outfits like Uber, most of these are not employers. They're digital platforms where you can find a job.

The apps are not determining the hours and pay, or even the technology used on the jobs. It’s still employers that are calling the shots. So if jobs are getting worse, it’s not because people can find them digitally as opposed to reading them in the newspaper.

Also, discussions of the gig economy often assume


epithelial layers. Chitosan microspheres can be prepared by reacting chitosan with controlled amounts of multivalent anion resulting in cross-linking between chitosan molecules. This cross-linking can be achieved in acidic, neutral, or basic environments depending upon the methods applied. Chitosan microspheres/nanoparticles can be prepared by various methods such as cross-linking with anions, precipitation, complex-coacervation, modified emulsification and ionotropic gelation, precipitation-chemical cross-linking, glutaraldehyde cross-linking, thermal cross-linking etc\[[@ref7][@ref8]\]. Selection of any of the methods depends upon factors such as particle size requirement, thermal and chemical stability of the active drug molecule, reproducibility of the release kinetic profiles, stability of the final product and residual toxicity associated with the final product. Different methods used in the preparation of chitosan micro/nanoparticles and the characterization of those particles along with their role in thedrug delivery system will be discussed in this review. However, selection of any particular method for preparing chitosan microspheres depends upon the nature of the active drug molecule that is to be encapsulated as well as the type of the delivery device\[[@ref8]\].

Emulsion cross linking: {#sec2-1}
-----------------------

This method utilizes the reactive functional amine group of chitosan to cross-link with aldehyde groups of the cross-linking agent. In this method, water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion is prepared by emulsifying the aqueous solution of chitosan in the oil phase. Aqueous droplets are stabilized using a suitable surfactant. The stable emulsion, thus formed, is cross-linked by using an appropriate cross-linking agent such as glutaraldehyde to harden the droplets. Microspheres are filtered and washed repeatedly with n-hexane followed by alcohol and then dried. By this method, particle


the form of hydrochloride salt (SeacureR 210 Cl and ProtasanR 110 Cl), varying in their molecular weight and degree of deacetylation, were utilized for nanoparticle preparation. For both types of chitosan, TPP concentration was adjusted to get a chitosan/TPP ratio of 6:1. Chitosan nanoparticles thus obtained were in the size range of 300--400 nm with a positive surface charge ranging from +54 to +25 mV. Using this method, insulin loading was modulated reaching the values up to 55%. Efficiency of the method was dependent upon the deacetylation of chitosan, since it involves the gelation of protonated amino groups of chitosan.

Pan *et al*.\[[@ref17]\] prepared the insulin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles by ionotropic gelation of chitosan with TPP anions. Particle size distribution and zeta potential were determined by photon correlation spectroscopy. Thetechnique: {#sec2-6}
-----------------------

In this method, chitosan is first dissolved in aqueous acetic acid solution, drug is then dissolved or dispersed in the solution and then, a suitable cross-linking agent is added. This solution or dispersion is then atomized in a stream of hot air. Atomization leads to the formation of small droplets, from which solvent evaporates instantaneously leading to the formation of free flowing particles. Various process parameters are to be controlled to get the desired size of particles. Particle size depends upon the size of nozzle, spray flow rate, atomization pressure, inlet air temperature and extent of cross-linking.

He *et al*.\[[@ref21]\] prepared both un-crosslinked and cross linked chitosan microparticles by spray-drying method for the delivery of cimetidine, famotidine and nizatidine. Conti *et al*.\[[@ref22]\] produced Cetylpyridinium chloride, an antiinfective agent


phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) in a conical flask, mouth of the flask plugged with cotton. The system was kept in an incubator at 37°. Three milliliters of the dispersion medium was drawn after definite time intervals and was replaced with 3 ml of dissolution media. The drawn sample was filtered using Whatman filter paper (grade 2, Whatman, Kent, UK). The residue was returned to the suspension. The clear filtrate was subjected to UV spectrophotometry (after dilution, to prepare definite concentrations) for determination of drug content.

APPLICATIONS {#sec1-4}
============

Chitosan microspheres have several applications in novel drug delivery systems. Some of which are mentioned below.

GI-delivery-systems: {#sec2-14}
--------------------

Floating systems have a density lower than the density of the gastric juice. Thus, the gastric residence time and hence the bioavailability of drugs that are absorbedof Zn in TBZC was determined by multiple-linear regression slope-ratio methodology. The Zn-deficient basal diet was supplemented with 0, 5.81, and 10.81 mg Zn/kg from ZnSO4.7H2O to produce a linear growth response as determined in Assay 1. The same basal diet was supplemented with 5.38 and 10.81 mg Zn/kg from TBZC. The RBV of Zn in TBZC was found to be 102%, which was not different (P > 0.10) from 100%. A third assay was conducted as described for Assay 2, and the RBV of Zn in TBZC was 111%, which was not different from 100%. In summary, the RBV of Zn in TBZC was not different from that of ZnSO4.7H2O, and the minimal bioavailable Zn requirement for chicks 1 to 3 wk of age fed a soy

The deep partisan divide was on display as William Barr testified at the judiciary committee Mr Barr dismissed criticism by Robert Mueller about his handling of the report

Mr Barr dismissed criticism by Robert Mueller about his handling of the report Mr Barr denied misleading Congress last month about whether Mr Mueller had complained to him

Testifying for the first time since releasing the Mueller report, Mr Barr said he was surprised Mr Mueller did not reacha conclusion on whether US President Donald Trump had tried to obstruct justice, and that he had felt compelled to step in with his own judgment that the President had committed no crime.

"I'm not really sure of his reasoning," Mr Barr said of Mr Mueller's obstruction analysis, which neither accused the President of a crime nor exonerated him.

"I think that if he felt that he shouldn't go down the path of making a traditional prosecutive decision then he shouldn't have investigated. That was the time to pull up."

However, the tagging scheme proposed by Ref. [@zheng2017joint] is unable to identify the overlapping relations in a sentence: it only considers the situation where an entity belongs to a triplet. To combat this problem, we design a **Tag2Triplet** algorithm (Section \[sec2.2\]) to handle multiple causal triplets and embedded causal triplets in the same sentence. Finally, we combine the causality tagging scheme with deep learning architecture (Section \[sec2.3\]) to minimize feature engineering while efficiently model causal relations in natural language text.

We notice that some researchers also proposed deep learning techniques-based methods for the causality extraction in recent years (Section \[sec5.3\]).

![Two causal triplets share the same one causal event entity: “ **the chronic inflammation**” within a sentence.\[fig3\]](sentence_3.eps)

Fig. \[fig4\] shows an example of such causality sequence tagging. Based on our causality tagging scheme, we label the causal event entities: “the chronic inflammation”, “Helicobacter pylori infection” and “an increased acid production” separately with our special tags. Concretely, tag “O” represents the“Other”, which means that the corresponding word is irrelevant in any causality components. Tag “B-C” represents the “Cause Begin”, tag “I-C” represents the “Cause Inside”, tag “B-E” represents the “Effect Begin”, tag “I-E” represents the “Effect Inside”, tag “B-Emb” represents the “Embedded Causality Begin” and tag “I-Emb” represents the “Embedded Causality Inside”. Thus, the totalcombination matching the rules according to the coordinating conjunction in the $S$, such as: if there is a coordinating conjunction “and" between adjacent Causes in the same clause, then the two Causes will form their respective causal triplets with the same Effect, as in the “Bacteria" and “comedonal debris” in Fig. \[fig5\]. Finally, we select the combination with the shortest distance from the combinations who passed the checks as the extracted causal triplets. Since only one combination “(0, 2), (1, 0)” passed all the checks, we directly output it as the final result.

----------------

Fig. \[fig7\] gives the main structure of our model SCIFI for causality sequence labeling. We will take the input sentence $S=\{x_{t}\}^{n}_{t=1}$ and its corresponding label sequence $y=\{y_{i}\}^{n}_{t=1}$ as an example introduce each component of SCIFI from bottom


non-causal pairs. Ref. [@zhao2016event] proposed a new feature called “causal connectives” by computing the similarity of the syntactic dependency structure of sentences. They run a partial parser to extract candidate noun phrases first and then classified the candidate causal pairs using the Restricted Hidden Naive Bayes learning algorithm in combination with other features, but their method is not able to discriminate the Causes from the Effects. Ref. [@luo2016commonsense] extracted cause-effect terms from large-scale web text corpora using causal cues and then used a new statistical metric based Point-wise Mutual Information (PMI) to measure causal strength between any two pieces of short texts.

Above methods divide causality extraction into two sub-tasks, candidate causal pairs extraction and relation classification (filtering non-causal pairs). The results of candidate causal pairs extraction may affect the performancesuch classes;

ii) we construct a simple coding scheme, which we call the Pattern Censoring Code (pc code). This code performs an online encoding or decoding of a sequence of symbols. It pertains to the family of censoring codes described in [@boucheron:garivier:gassiat:2006; @Bon11; @bontemps2012adaptiveb; @boucheron2015adaptive]: in the pc code, first occurrences of symbols are censored, that is they are encoded using a general purpose encoder for integers (such as Elias encoding [@MR0373753]) and are implicitly inserted into a dictionary; symbols that have already been inserted into the dictionary are translated into their rank of insertion in the dictionary and then fed to a Krichevsky-Trofimov encoder that works on an alphabet that matches the current size of the dictionary. The Krichevsky-Trofimov encoder actually performs a variant of pattern


often satisfy a so-called *regular variation* property. A fascinating treatment of regular variation can be found in the textbook [@BinGolTeu89].

A measurable function $g : ]a, \infty) \rightarrow ]0,\infty)$ (where $a>0$) is said to be regularly varying at infinity if for all $x>0$ $$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{g(tx)}{g(t)} = x^\alpha$$ for some $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. This is summarized by $g\in \textsc{rv}_ \alpha$. If $\alpha=0$, $g$ is said to be slowly varying. Note that $g\in{\textsc{rv}}_\alpha$ if and only if, for all $t>a$, $g(t)=t^\alpha\ell(t)$ where $\ell$ is slowly varying.

Useful results from regular variation theory are gathered in Appendix \[sec:reg-var-tools\].

Following @MR0216548 and @GneHanPit07, source classes with regularly varying envelopes are defined as follows.

The envelope class ${\ensuremath{\mathcal{C}}}(f)$ is said to be regularly varying with index $\alpha\in[0,1]$ if the function $\vec\nu_f(1/\cdot)$ is regularly varying with\underbrace{\sum_{j\geq 1}p_j{\mathbb{I}}_{N_i^j=0}\left(1+\log\left(\frac{j}{K_i+\frac{1}{2}}\right)\right)}_{C:=} +\underbrace{2\sum_{j\geq 1}p_j{\mathbb{I}}_{N_i^j=0}\log\left(\log(j)+1\right)}_{D:=}\, .\nonumber\end{aligned}$$ ]{} Note that in term $C$ the $\log(j)$ contribution of Elias encoding is balanced by the $\log(K_i +1/2)$ coming from the encoding of the $0$ symbols in the censored sequence. This turns out to be crucial and allows us to obtain adaptivity within a $\log\log n$ factor (which comes from the residual part of Elias code) instead of a $\log n$ factor. The encoding of the $0$ symbols in the censored sequence is then pivotal, this is one of the main differences with the ac or etac codes: in those previous codes, zeros were actually not encoded, and the [[kt]{}]{} code was working with the counts stemming from the sequence $X_{1:i}$ instead of $\widetilde{X}_{1:i}$. Here, the [[kt]{}]{} code considers
