The calibration object usually consists of two or three planes orthogonal to each other. Sometimes, a plane undergoing a precisely known translation is also used [23]. These approaches require an expensive calibration apparatus, and an elaborate setup.
Self-calibration techniques do not use any calibration object. Just by moving a camera in a static scene, the rigidity of the scene provides in general two constraints [15, 17] on the cameras"" internal parameters from one camera displacement by using image information alone. Therefore, if images are taken by the same camera with fixed internal parameters, correspondences between three images are sufficient to recover both the internal and external parameters which allow the reconstruction of 3-D structure up to a similarity [16, 13]. While this approach is very flexible, it is not


further refined by taking into account this distortion. As it is believed radial distortion is the dominant component of lens distortion, all other sources can be ignored. It is possible to first determine the camera parameters using any of the foregoing techniques and then employ what amounts to a least squares analysis to ascertain the radial distortion coefficients. These coefficients can then be used to compensate for the radial distortion in the camera parameter estimates. However, it can be more efficient and faster to determine the radial distortion coefficients along with the camera parameters using an expanded maximum likelihood inference process.
In addition to the just described benefits, other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description which follows hereinafter when taken in conjunction witha low temperature in a cylindrical polymerization vessel, and then adiabatically carrying out the polymerization. However, the cooling is not carried out, and therefore the method has demerits such that the concentration of the aqueous monomer solution cannot be increased, namely, demerits such that the residence time is prolonged (a few hours). Both of these are carried out at the sacrifice of productivity, and therefore it is inevitable to need great costs.
In addition, recently, in Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Vol. 74, 119 to 124 (1999), report was “An Efficient Preparation Method for Superabsorbent Polymers” (Chen. Zhao). This proposes a low-cost polymerization method which involves charging an aqueous solution having a monomer concentration of 43.6% and an initiator in a stainless-steel-made petri dish, immersing the petri dish in


essentially depends on the following three factors.

1.  The useful functionality of the lossy material. In our example, it will be the nonreciprocal circular birefringence producing the Faraday rotation.

2.  The dominant physical mechanism of absorption. For instance, energy dissipation caused by electric conductivity requires a different approach, compared to the situation where the losses are associated with the dynamics of magnetic domains, or some other physical mechanisms. In each individual case, the structure of the anti-Hermitian part (\[abs\]) of the permittivity and/or permeability tensors can be different, and so can be the optimal configuration of the composite material.

3.  The frequency range of interest. The same periodic array can significantly reduce losses at some frequencies, while enhancing losses at different frequencies. In other words, the same periodicE_{P}\right) _{y}}{\left( E_{I}\right) _{x}},\text{ \
where \ }\left\vert \rho \right\vert <1.  \label{rho}$$

Generally, the transmitted wave polarization in Figs. \[FSnU\] and [FSn8]{} is elliptical, rather than linear. Therefore, the quantity $\rho $ in (\[rho\]) is not literally the sine of the Faraday rotation angle. The nonreciprocal effects in the scattering problem of Figs. \[FSnU\] and [FSn8]{} are more complicated than a simple Faraday rotation. Let us elaborate on this point. The electromagnetic eigenmodes of the uniform magnetic slab in Fig. \[FSnU\] and the eigenmodes of the layered structure in Fig. [FSn8]{} are all circularly polarized. This implies that if the polarization of the incident wave is circular, the transmitted and reflected waves will also be circularly polarized, both in the case of a uniform slab and in the case


better results. Our goal here is to prove that even a simple periodic array can dramatically improve the situation with losses. A key is the proper configuration of the composite structure, which, in turn, essentially depends on the physical nature of absorption and the frequency range of interest. Also, we would like to emphasize that the dramatic absorption reduction seen in Fig. \[af\_pt\_b4\] is not a resonance effect. This is why the suppression of losses is achieved within a relatively broad frequency range and the results are not particularly sensitive to the number of layers in the periodic structure. By contrast, the possibility of a significant size reduction discussed in the next subsection is associated with the transmission band edge resonance, which is usually characterized by a relativelycomprising as few as several unit cells $L$. Therefore, in the case ([set 1]{}) of a strong circular birefringence of the magnetic material, the periodic stack cannot have significantly smaller size in comparison to the uniform magnetic slab producing similar nonreciprocal Faraday rotation. The composite structure in this case is only useful for absorption reduction, as we have demonstrated in the previous subsection.

A strong circular birefringence usually occurs in the vicinity of a ferromagnetic resonance at microwave frequency range. If the frequency $%
\omega $ is much higher or much lower than that, the gyrotropic parameter $%
\beta $ is much smaller. For instance, at infrared and optical frequencies, in order to produce Faraday rotation $\rho $ of the order of unity, the thickness of the uniform magnetic slab should

Eric Staal has been cornerstone for the Carolina Hurricanes since he was drafted second overall in the 2003 entry draft. Over 850 games later, the Hurricanes and their star center are quickly approaching a crossroad. Staal is in the final year of a 7 year, $57.5 million deal.

Some reports surfaced last month that suggested Staal is seeking a new deal worth around $9 million annually. Staal is unikely to get that type of salary, even on the open market. But, given that the Hurricanes are quickly approaching the decision of whether to re-sign Staal, trade him (he does have a no-trade clause), or let him walk, let’s take a look at where Staal currently ranks among NHL centers.

In our previous study, we demonstrated that 5caC accumulates during lineage specification of neural stem cells (NSCs) both *in vivo* and in cell differentiation experiments.[@cit0020] Moreover, according to our data, TDG knockdown led to an increase in 5fC/5caC in differentiating NSCs, suggesting that the TDG/BER-dependent DNA demethylation pathway likely contributes to reorganization of the 5mC profiles occurring in this system.[@cit0020] However, it is still unknown if TDG/BER-dependent demethylation is operational during other types of cellular differentiation and whether it represents a general mechanism of rearrangement of the DNA methylation patterns during specification and commitment of post-mitotic somatic cell types in mammals.

In the present study we aimed to determine the dynamics of enzymatic oxidation of 5mC as wellhepatocyte differentiation and undifferentiated hiPSCs ([Fig. 2C](#f0002){ref-type="fig"}). We were also able to detect a less pronounced enrichment of 5caC on the CpG-enriched regions of *TTR* and *A1AT* promoters 24 and 96 h after induction of specification of hepatic endoderm ([Fig. 2C](#f0002){ref-type="fig"}, Fig. S1B). As the accumulation of 5caC at the promoter regions of genes expressed during hepatic specification largely corresponded to the onset of their expression in our system, these results together with our previously published NSCs-based data[@cit0020] may imply an involvement of 5mC oxidation to 5caC in transcriptional activation and/or maintenance of transcriptionally active state of lineage-specific genes during differentiation.

We previously found that 5hmC and 5caC were distributed in a semi-overlapping manner in the majority of cells of the murine embryonic brain at 13.5 d post coitum (dpc) stage, which implied

For quantification of the 5hmC and 5caC signal intensities, mean values of the average of 4 intensity profiles generated across 10--12 nuclei were calculated for each differentiation stage. Statistical significance was determined using 2-tailed t-test following assessment of the variance with F-test.

I have the Craftsman 19.2 volt system with the NiCad batteries. I'm not a heavy user so I was really surprised when neither of my two batteries would charge. One was a a couple of years newer than the other.

Just like the original post, the charger would indicate fully charged when there had not been any charging.

When I took a closer look, the some electrical terminals that connect the batteries to the charger and to the drill were corroded. If there are two terminals, the same one was always corroded. For 4 terminal connections, it was always the same two. This is obviously a design flaw - Craftsman chose the wrong metal for the terminals.

Evers on Monday announced he was convening a special legislative session, which allows the governor to force lawmakers to consider legislation on a topic of the governor's choice but he can't require them to act.

The Democratic governor wants lawmakers to take up two bills that have, so far, been ignored by Republicans but have the support of the majority of Wisconsinites.

To force the issue, Evers said he would call a special legislative session as many times as it takes to get Republicans on board.

Thousands More Africans Flee Arab Air Strikes in Blue Nile, Sudan

A fresh wave of air strikes in Sudan’s Blue Nile State since last Wednesday has sent increasing numbers of refugees fleeing into Ethiopia, with some 1,500 pouring through the Kurmuk border crossing last Friday alone. The latest bombs reportedly fell Monday.

“With a government assault still ongoing, we expect the numbers to continue rising,” UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards told journalists in Geneva, reporting that an estimated 25,000 Sudanese have found refuge in western Ethiopia since the influx started on 03 September.

UNHCR and its partner agencies launched a formal appeal for funds Tuesday to help refugees fleeing into western Ethiopia from Blue Nile State.

"That was not proper as you know, and I raised hell about it," Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the longest-serving Senate Republican, said of Cruz's criticism of McConnell. "I'm a great believer of repentance and changing, and I think there's a gradual change there that I'm noticing, which is good."

Hatch also had this to say of Cruz: "It's always helpful when you admit you're wrong."

How far Cruz is willing to go to win back his colleagues remains to be seen.

Jeff Roe, Cruz's campaign manager, signaled that the Texas senator was unlikely to begin wooing his colleagues.

But many of his colleagues believe he picks unwinnable fights simply to promote himself.

"If he's asking someone for an endorsement from the United States Senate, I think he needs to go to that individual and explain what has changed since we were thrown under the bus," said Sen. Dan Coats, R-Indiana. "I think his conflict is: His narrative that has gotten him to where he has gotten is to throw us under the bus."

Asked if he thinks Cruz should apologize to McConnell, Coats said: "I think the decision he'll make will be based on his political strategy, not on maybe what's the right thing do."

Indeed, last year, things reached a fever pitch between Cruz and his colleagues when the Texas senator took to the Senate floor and accuseddid not see much fighting during the war. Ontario, then known as Upper Canada, and now the largest province, is where much of the action took place. Other parts of this vast nation—most notably the lands that now encompass the western provinces—were as removed from the hostilities as Australia.

in response to Ke Jin Dijkstra's comment was motivated by BASIC's lack of structuring, presence of evil features like GOTO, and missing essential features like pointers/references and dynamic memory allocation (so one couldn't do any significant data structure programming). It was NOT caused by BASIC being too easy. Java is an easy language - compared to alternatives like C/C++ - and also expressive enough to code anything, at least in the domain of imperative languages. So it's only missing features to study other paradigms, like functional programming, but then, there is no single language that is good at all paradigms,


a person's employability is as much or more determined by their willingness to apply their skills to something useful, and in a professional manner, than it is by the skills themselves. The people I know who got "worthless" degrees who are willing to do something practical usually make almost as much money as those with "real" degrees, and are often far happier in their jobs. Being an English major does not make one unemployable. There's tons of need for good writers. It's expecting to write poetry that no one understands and refusing to do anything else that makes one unemployable. So I think as long as my hypothetical student who learned several obscure languages is willing to hunker down a learn Java so he can make a living,an OO language? or a procedural language? Or a bit of both? How do you reconcile the switch statement with OO polymorphism? How do you explain inner classes? Have you ever had a Smart Alex student point out that a virtual function call is not the same as an OO message send?

One can teach Java by showing how most code in Java has a direct translation down to the operations that are typical of CPU instruction sets, and thus one canthis abstraction is any more stable than the other (using objects). The question is "stable against what?". Consider your datamodel changes to introduce new required columns (or worse changes to drop them), splits tables or changes the inheritance (specialization) model in the database. There will likely be so many changes in the overall application that the "rippling through" does hardly create more impact. Or consider the all to real world example of moving your application from a proper database to one without triggers, where you need to pull thousand of lines of (largely declaratively programmed) code up into the application.

in response to Ke Jin I remember how I learned how to program, and I now have a 7-year old son that is getting into it, so blending these two perspectives has given me an intersting, err, perspective! I started with BASIC, as most people my age (mid 30's) did. I then moved to a number of years of straight Assembly. I then movedmany 15-year old kids have you seen that can code circles around them? How many coworkers do you know that can code a bit but don't put in any effort outside work to improve and thus get past by without knowing it? I also believe programmers have to have a natural aptitude for it, have to have a natural curiosity and drive to learn. Of course, it all comes down to simply being able to think underneath it all, which is an ingredient missing from too many people's toolchest. Dijkstra's comment about BASIC is stupid as evidenced by all the legitimately good programmers out there that started with BASIC.

in response to Ke Jin I remember having to learn a range of languages from assembly, to Fortran, to LISP, and C. To say I understood anything about programming by the time I graduated would be a stretch. I think the biggest wake up call after my undergrad degree was how little of the theory you used in day to day programming gigs. Rarely did you write your own data structures or algorithms. The real challenge was finding the right library for the job, understanding requirements and


50 year old professors of software engineering who have never worked on a software system of substantial size or worked in teams larger than 2. Java is not a bad language for education. It's reasonably popular; has reasonably simple semantics; you can do a hell of a lot of cool stuff with it; tooling is excellent; and most young teachers know it very well. The last argument is pretty important because there is nothing worse than a teacher who doesn't understand what he's teaching. So Java is an excellent language to teach all sorts of aspects of computer science and software engineering. Of course a problem would be if this was the only language you ever learn. These days I would say functional programming is still quite essentialstyle. What attracted me to this post, was that the title made me laugh :^). What I've found interesting is just how seriously some have taken it, literally responding to whether Java should or should not be banned in schools. On reflection, I believe the thing that made it funny for me was seeing Java and Computer science in the same sentence. The birth of Java had very little to do with Science. I would describe Java more as a product, born out of the Marketing department. It's purpose was to create a middle ware platform (OS) to steal back/ ring fence market share on the Server from Microsoft, and at this purpose it has been very successful.

Alan Kay's quote, that Java is the worst thing to happen to computer science since MSDOS" is perhaps a bit strong, but it has some truth to it. The lesson to learn from Java is that to be successful as a mainstream programming language, has as much (if not more) to do with marketing a product then it has to do with Computer Science. Basing Java on "C", keeping it simple and giving it away for "free" was a master stroke of Marketing by Sun, which others like Microsoft have been quick to follow. Once we stop taking ourselves so seriously, perhaps we can stop and ponder, just how our industry actually works. Dominatedof Iraq's secret police, the Mukhabarat. The women, in their 40s and 50s, come from Kirkuk and Baghdad; none has seen their families or children since their arrest earlier this year.

According to Swadi, who managed to visit Abu Ghraib in late March, the allegations against the women are "absurd". "One of them is supposed to be the mistress of the former director of the Mukhabarat. In fact, she's a widow who used to own a small shop. She also worked as a taxi driver, ferrying children to and from kindergarten. If she really had a relationship with the director of the Mukhabarat, she would scarcely be running a kiosk. These are baseless charges," she adds angrily. "She is the only person who can provide for her children."

Q:

Check when transaction was added to the mempool?

I know how to check when a specific transaction was included in the block. But how do I check when my bitcoind node first saw it? I would like to estimate for how long the transaction stayed unconfirmed after it was broadcasted.

A:

The getrawmempool interface provides this information in the time field, though it is potentially very slow to respond with a large number of transactions in the mempool. It does not record this time once the transaction is removed from the mempool for non-wallet transactions, so it either needs to be gathered from this interface or recorded on addition with the zmq socket.

2.2. Nested PCR assay and DNA sequencing {#sec2.2}
----------------------------------------

A fragment of the *kahrp* gene was initially amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using Hp-F (5′-AATAATGGAAACGGATCCGGTGAC-3′) and Hp-R (5′---CCCTAACCACAGCATCCTG-3′) primers \[[@bib19]\]. The amplification conditions for the first round of PCR were as following conditions: denaturation (95 °C, 5 min), 40x \[(denaturation (94 °C, 1 min), (annealing 52 °C, 1 min), extension (72 °C, 1 min)\], final extension (72 °C, 5 min). The primary PCR product was used as a template in the nested PCR


distance model in the molecular evolutionary genetics analysis (MEGA) version 4.0 software (Tamura et al., 2007). The numbers on and/or under the branches indicate bootstrap values according to 1000 replicates. Besides the kahrp gene sequences of seven *P. falciparum* clinical isolates this study (BR KX453289-KX453295), the kahrp gene sequences of a number of *P. falciparum* isolates and reference strain (NF7, FCC1/HN, CO1, TZ5, TZ13, TZ20, HB5, HB6, RJ181, Pf3-92, Pf29-92, SB-1 to SB-18 and H-1 to H-10) from several countries were applied with their accession numbers in phylogenetic analysis, including Ghana (GH), China (CH), Colombia (CO), Tanzania (TZ), Honduras (HO), India (IN) and Iran (IR).Fig. 4

Changing at Queen's Park

The Bakerloo line trains are now the oldest on the network. Though introduced in 1972, the stock was rushed off the production line, and is therefore near identical to the 1967 Victoria line trains, which said farewell in 2011.

You've got to hand it to the designers for sticking with the colour scheme. Everything about the Bakerloo line conjures a tobacco stained Basil Rathbone slouching in a worn Chesterfield and sipping a mug of Bisto. That's continued in the trains themselves — the shiny brown poles; the air vent knobs that look like chocolates; the seats topped with an icing of faux leather; those rust-coloured vertical armrests that defy all logic.

It's not just the colour that's deliciously outmoded.

When the trains are phasedout, we'll also lose those seats that face into each other, and are so close together that your knees knock against those of the person opposite you. These wall-less compartments might be far from ideal, but they're a last vestige of golden train travel.

Coming into Baker Street we notice the roundel in the window that chides 'No Smoking'. OK, it's a pointless caveat these day, but we do wonder if the new trains shouldn't have 'No Vaping' signs for sheer nostalgia.

Another little anachronism we spot: the maps of the central London tube system are sized especially to fit into the very specific frames of this stock:

We're at Piccadilly Circus now — a station which gamely incorporates the Bakerloo line's gravy tones with a palette of red, green and


and respond accordingly. Professor Yacoub's team hope the valves they are growing will be equally sophisticated. No drugs In theory, if the valve was grown from the patient's own cells there would also be no need to take drugs to stop the body rejecting it. They would also be potentially much longer lasting than artificial valves, which often have to be replaced after several years. Dr Adrian Chester, a senior member of the research team, said: "We are attempting to grow a valve that will be functional in adults and children and will be made entirely of living tissue. "Hopefully it will be able to adapt to its environment, and then just sit there and function just as a normal valve functions under normal physiological conditions." Dr Chesterstochastic LQ problem and to the associated Hamilton systems. By the connections, we show the optimal control have the state feedback representation. Moreover, we will show the existence and uniqueness result of the multidimensional BSRDEJ for the case where the generator is bounded linear dependence with respect to the unknowns martingale term.

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In section 2 we introduce useful notation and some existing results on stochastic differential equations (SDEs in short form) and BSDEs driven by Poission random martingale measure. In section 3, we state the stochastic LQ problem we study, give needed assumptions and prove some preliminary property on the functional cost. Moreover, we have showed the stochastic LQ problem with jumps has a unique optimal control. In section 4,


remains to prove that the a priori estimate hold.

Let $(X, p, q, r)$ is a solution of the stochastic Hamilton systems . Using Itô$^,$s formula $\langle p_t, X_t\rangle ,$ we get $$\label{eq:b29}
2E\langle MX_T, X_T\rangle +2E\int_0^T\langle N_tu_t, u_t\rangle +2E\int_0^T\langle Q_tX_t,
X_t\rangle dt=E\langle p_0, x\rangle.$$

In the following, $K$ will denote a generic positive constant and might change from line to line.

For the backward part of the stochastic Hamilton systems , using the a priori estimate for BSDEs, we have $$\begin{aligned}
\label{eq:b30}
\begin{split}
 E\sup&_{0\leqslant t\leqslant T}|p_t|^2+E\int_0^T|q_t|^2dt
+E\iint_{ Z\times (0, T]}|r_t(\theta)|^2\nu(d\theta)dt\\
&\leqslant K\bigg[E\int_0^T|Q_tX_t|^2dt+E|MX_T|^2\bigg]\\
&\leqslant K\bigg[E\int_0^T\langle Q_tX_t, X_t\rangle dt+E\langle MX_T, X_T\rangle \bigg]
\\&\leqslant K E\langle p_0, x\rangle
\\&\leqslant K E | p_0|| x|
\\
&\leqslant \frac{1}{2} E|p_0|^2+K|x|^2
\\& \leqslant\frac{1}{2} E\sup_{0\leqslant t\leqslant T}|p_t|^2+K|x|^2,
\end{split}\end{aligned}$$ where we have used the nonnegative property of $Q$ and $M$, the equality and the elementary inequality $$2ab\leqslant \varepsilon a^2+\frac{1}\varepsilon b^2, to the stochastic Hamilton system and to the stochastic LQ Problem \[pro:2.1\].

\[thm:f341\] Let Assumptions \[ass:1.1\]–\[ass:1.2\] be satisfied. Let $(X, p, q, r)$ be the solution of the stochastic Hamilton system with $u$ being the optimal control. Assume that $(K, L, H)\in {\cal S}_{\cal F}^2(0, T; {\cal S}^n)\times
{\cal L}_{\cal F}^2(0, T; ({\cal S}^n)^d)
 \times {\cal L}_{\cal F}^{\nu, 2}([0, T]\times Z; {\cal S}^n)$ is the solution to BSRDEJ and the matrix-valued process $\hat{N}$(noting ) is a.e.a.s. positive definite. Then, we have, for $t\in [0, T]$ and $\theta \in Z$ $$\begin{aligned}
\label{eq:4.13}
     \begin{split}
      p_t&=K_tX_t;  \\
    q^i_t&=(L_t^i+K_{t-}C^i_t)X_{t-}+K_{t-}D^i_tu_t,  ~~~~i=1, 2, \cdots, d;\\
     r_t(\theta)&=\bigg(H_t(\theta)+K_{t-}E_t(\theta)+H_t(\theta)E_t(\theta)\bigg)X_{t-}\\
     &~~~~
    +\bigg(K_{t-}F_t(\theta)
    +H_t(\theta)F_t(\theta)\bigg)u_t.


0),  \\
  F=&0,
\end{split}\end{aligned}$$ where $d_1+d_2=d.$

In this case the stochastic system is reduced to the following form $$\label{eq:f354}
\left\{\begin {array}{ll}

  dX_t=&(A_tX_t+B_tu_t)dt+\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{d_1}C_t^{1i}X_tdW^{1i}_t
+\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{d_1}(C_t^{2i}X_t+D_t^{2i}u_t)dW^{2i}_t
  \\&+\displaystyle
  \int_{ Z}E_t(\theta)X_{t-}\tilde{\mu}(d\theta,
  dt)
   \\x_0~=&x,

\end {array}
\right.$$ Denote by $\{{\cal F}_t^*\}_{t\geqslant
0}$ the P-augmentation of the natural $\sigma$-filtration which is generated by Brownian motion $(W^{11}, \cdots,
W^{1d_1})$ and Poisson random martingale measure $\tilde{\mu}(d\theta,
dt)$. In the following we give the further assumptions on adaption of the coefficients of the stochastic LQ problem. ÏÂ

\[ass:f343\] Assume that $A,  B,  C,  D,  E, Q,  N$ are uniforming bounded $\{{\cal
F}_t^*, 0\leq t\leq T\}$-predictable matrix-valued processes. And the random matrix $M$ is bounded ${\cal F}_T^*$-measurable.

Under Assumption \[ass:f343\], again by dynamic programming principle and Itô-Ventzell formulation, BSRDEJ is reduced to the following form $$\begin{aligned}

Q:

How to load csv file containing strings and numbers using genfromtxt?

I'm trying to load a csv file in a NumPy array for machine learning purpose. Until now I always worked with int or float data but my current csv contains string, float and int so I have some trouble with dtype argument. My datasets has 41188 samples and 8 features, e.g.:
47;"university.degree";"yes";176;1;93.994;-36.4;4.857;"no"

I know that if I specify dtype=None the types will be determined by the contents of each columns:
data = np.genfromtxt(filename, dtype=None, delimiter=";", skip_header=1)

but it apparently doesn't work. First of all, the result of genfromtxt is a numpy ndarray with the following shape:
In [2]: data.shape
Out[2]: (41188,)

while I expect (41188,8)
Instead, If I use the default dtype:
data2 = np.genfromtxt(filename, delimiter=";", skip_header=1)

I obtain the following shape of data:
In [4]: data2.shape
Out[4]: (41188,8)

Secondly, with


dtype=None I obtain the following deprecation warning:
VisibleDeprecationWarning: Reading unicode strings without specifying the encoding argument is deprecated. Set the encoding, use None for the system default.

That I can fix by using (is it correct?):
encoding='ASCII'

I have 2 questions:

How can I set the correct type of each columns?
Why I have to set the encoding?

On the other hand, the body weight change of lactating sows was increased when they were provided with diets with higher vitamin levels during the gestation period (linear, *p* = 0.027). There was no significant difference in backfat thickness at 24 hours postpartum or 21 days of lactation among the treatment groups. The feed intake of lactating sows tended to decrease with increasing vitamin levels in the diet (linear, *p* = 0.06).

Two patients dropped out from each arm, resulting in 320 complete observations in the final dataset. Data on the difference between final ADAS-cog score and baseline scores (ADASFA) were recorded for the efficacy study. Previous literatures have used ADASFA in efficacy evaluation of MCI or Alzheimer's disease^[@CR3],[@CR4]^. The most intuitive idea is to test whether the treatment and control means are equal. However, Morgan and Rubin^[@CR5]^ argued that the baseline equivalence is not guaranteed although the allocation is randomized. Imbalance in baseline covariates could confound the statistical test when comparing ADASFA between the two arms.

However, OLS shows that centres 3 and 7 have no significant impact but centre 6 has a significant effect on the outcome. According to Table [4](#Tab4){ref-type="table"}, the average ADAS1 of centre 6 is much lower than that of centres 3 and 7, which implies that patients in centres 3 and 7 are in worse conditions.

Local and regional administration will always be next to the scouts to help them overcome the difficulties”, said Lori governor Aram Kocharian. As Ashot Ghazarian, Director of the AGBU Armenian Representation, said it was less than a year ago when after lasting discussions the Lori governor gave his approval to organize the scout camp in Lori. “Two months ago together with the President of the Social Investment Fund Ashot Kirakossian we breathed life into this previously desert area and welcomed our scouts perfectly ready on July 22.

In [@dybiec2] it has been shown that an inversion of current can be obtained by considering a time periodic modulation of the chirality of the Lévy noise. Reference [@bouzatPhysA] studies inertial effects and propose a way of measuring the rectification efficiency in Lévy ratchets. In [@weaknoise], the weak noise limit is analyzed. In [@negrete2010], the related problem of the spatially tempered fractional Fokker-Planck equation is studied. Reference [@aclevy] analyzes the competition between Lévy forcing and a periodic a.c. driving in a ratchet system, while [@sbudlevy] studies the coexistence of Lévy flights and subdiffusion. The increasing interest in ratchet systems influenced by Lévy noises is due to various facts. Firstly, there is an intrinsic theoretical significance in the generalizations of previous ratchet models to account


and $\tilde{f}_k=\int_0^L (dx/L)\; f(x) \exp(-\rmi k x)$ denotes the correponding Fourier amplitude. In particular, the prescription $\widetilde{[\partial_x^{\alpha} f(x)]_k}=-|k|^{\alpha} \tilde{f}_k$ for the Fourier transform of the fractional derivative, valid in an infinite or periodic support, greatly simplifies our method as it avoids the complications due to the nonlocal nature of the fractional Laplacian operator that can arise for different boundary conditions that break translational invariance in bounded domains [@rosso]. Fourier transforming (\[Ec\_FokkerPlanck\]) gives $$\begin{array}{lcl}
        \partial_t {\tilde P}^A_k &=&  -k \sum_q  q

Therefore we expect that the higher Fourier modes that are not well approximated in the fast limit do not change the overall limit of the probability density.

Perturbative analysis for fast and slow switching
-------------------------------------------------

Using a simple perturbation analysis in (\[Ec\_unasola\]) we can obtain the lowest order corrections to the infinitely slow and fast switching limits described above, with $\Gamma_{AB}$ and $\Gamma_{AB}^{-1}$ the small parameters, respectively, for a fixed value of $\delta$.

Approaching the infinitely slow limit a natural ansatz is to propose, $P^A (x) \sim
P^A_{slow} (x) + \Gamma_{AB} W(x)$, with $P^A_{slow}$ given by (\[Ec\_slowsolution\]). Inserting this ansatz in (\[Ec\_unasola\]) we


which in the slow and fast limits behaves as $J \sim \Gamma_{AB}^{3/2}$ and $J \sim \exp(-\Gamma_{AB})$. One of the possible reasons for this difference could be that that, in the case of a non analytic potential, the Fourier coefficients do not decay fast enough for our arguments to be valid. Another possible reason could be that the qualitative argument in [@astumian_bier] is not correct in the limits of fast and slow switching.

Results for a standard ratchet potential {#sec_results}
========================================

Now we consider a standard ratchet potential [@general1] $$\label{Ec_Potencial}
 V(x)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\left[ \sin\left(2\pi x\right)+\frac{1}{4}\sin\left(4\pi
 x\right)\right],$$ with period $L=1$ and barriers of amplitude $\Delta V \equiv V_{max}-V_{min} \simeq
0.35$. For this choice of the potential, we analyze the dependence of the current on the parameters $\chi$ and $\alpha$ characterizing the Lévy noise, and on theindependent of $\alpha$ and grows with $\chi$.

Figure \[Fig\_J\_vs\_G\] also shows the validity of the asymptotic formulas found in section \[sec\_limitsituations\] for the limits of small and large $\Gamma$, and of the perturbative analysis close to them. Another fact that can be observed in Figure \[Fig\_J\_vs\_G\] is that, for a fixed flashing mechanism (fixed $\Gamma$) and a fixed noise intensity, Lévy noise leads almost always to larger values of $J$ than Gaussian noise.

![Current as a function of the switching rate for different values of $\alpha$ considering $\chi=0.05$ $(a)$,$\chi=0.2$ $(b)$ and $\chi=0.6$ $(c)$. In panels (a), (b) and (c), the symbols at the extreme values of $\Gamma$ indicate the infinitely slow (Eq. \[Ec\_slowsolution\]) and infinitely fast (Eq. \[Ec\_fastsolution\]) limit approximations showing complete agreement with the exact solutions. Panel(d) shows $(J-J_{slow})$


$\chi=0.05$. We see that the current vanishes for $\delta \sim 0$. This is because, at that limit, the potential remains most of the time ‘off’. In contrast, for $\delta \rightarrow 1$, the potential is ‘on’most of the time and we get the static or non flashing Lévy ratchet limit. In such situation, the current depends on $\alpha$ and vanishes only in the case $\alpha \rightarrow 2$, when the system approaches the equilibrium situation of a non flashing ratchet with Gaussian noise.

The different panels of Figure \[Fig\_J\_vs\_DR\_Chi005\] show us that the transition probability $\Gamma_{AB}$ plays a significant role in the current behavior (i.e. $\delta$ alone does not determine the dynamics). For intermediate values of $\Gamma_{AB}$ (Figures \[Fig\_J\_vs\_DR\_Chi005\]$(b)$ and \[Fig\_J\_vs\_DR\_Chi005\]$(c)$) the current has a maximum at an intermediate duty ratioVarious types of devices have been experimentally and commercially used for recovering hydrocarbons from tar sands. Other devices are particularly intended for disposing of solid waste, such as rubber particles from used tires. One type of experimental device utilized a heated enclosure with an interior chamber and a conveyor for inputting tar sands to the heated enclosure. A condenser received vapors from the heated enclosure and output liquid hydrocarbons and gas hydrocarbons. Vacuum pumps have been used in some experimental units to maintain a selected vacuum within the heated enclosure, such that hydrocarbon vapors are drawn from the heated enclosure to the condenser.

supporting Jordan's offensive game.

In his time as a Maverick last year, Brandan Wright led the league in efficiency as a pick-and-roll finisher (minimum 50 possessions) at 1.42 points per possession; Tyson Chandler finished second. Jordan, who scored 1.36 points per possession as a pick-and-roll man, represents the best characteristics of both Chandler and Wright as a finisher. DeAndre has Tyson's physical build with Wright's breathtaking athleticism and body control. At times, Tyson could be a bit stiff around the basket if he had to take a dribble or two before putting up a shot. Conversely, Wright occasionally struggled with contact around the basket. DeAndre doesn't have Wright's touch, but he has the ability to power through defenders while being nimble enough to catch the ball and put onper NBA.com. DeAndre feasted on short lobs from Griffin when backline defenders stepped up to thwart Griffin's moment to the rim. There aren't many bigs in the league who can throw an accurate lob pass with consistency. Dirk has the ability to replicate some of Blake's passing, but he's not nearly on Griffin's level as a playmaker.

However, Dirk's spacing may prove to be more valuable than Griffin's playmaking. When Griffin sat out 15 games with a staph infection, DeAndre's numbers shot up to 15 ppg and 18.5 rpg playing next to Spencer Hawes. If Hawes' gravitational force could impact Jordan's numbers that dramatically, just imagine what Nowitzki could do.

Main theorem {#sectionwithmainresult}
============

\[theorem-main\] Let $d\geq3$, let $P_1,\ldots,P_{d+4}$ be points in $\mathbb{P}^d$ not on a hyperplane. Then the following are equivalent:

(i) $(P_1,\ldots,P_{d+4})\in V_{d,d+4}$ (equivalently, they lie on a quasi-Veronese curve);

(ii) For every $I\in\binom{[d+4]}{6}$, $I=\{i_1<\cdots<i_6\}$, $I^c=\{j_1<\cdots<j_{d-2}\}$ the following equality in the Grassmann-Cayley algebra holds: $$\begin{gathered}
    (P_{i_1}P_{i_2}\wedge P_{i_4}P_{i_5}P_{j_1}\cdots P_{j_{d-2}})\vee(P_{i_2}P_{i_3}\wedge P_{i_5}P_{i_6}P_{j_1}\cdots P_{j_{d-2}})\\
    \vee(P_{i_3}P_{i_4}\wedge P_{i_6}P_{i_1}P_{j_1}\cdots P_{j_{d-2}})\vee P_{j_1}\cdots P_{j_{d-2}}=0.\end{gathered}$$

Recall from Proposition \[prop:newequationsWdn\] that $(\eta_{j_{d-2}}\circ\ldots\circ\eta_{j_1})(\phi_I)=0$ for $I\in\binom{[d+4]}{6}$ are the defining equations of $W_{d,d+4}=V_{d,d+4}\cup Y_{d,d+4}$. Observe that since $P_1,\ldots,P_{d+4}$ are not on a hyperplane by assumption, then $(P_1,\ldots,P_{d+4})\notin Y_{d,d+4}$. Therefore we have that $(P_1,\ldots,P_{d+4})\in V_{d,d+4}$ if and only if they satisfy the equations $(\eta_{j_{d-2}}\circ\ldots\circ\eta_{j_1})(\phi_I)=0$ for each $I\in\binom{[d+4]}{6}$.

Fix $I\in\binom{[d+4]}{6}$ and consider the corresponding Grassmann-Cayley algebra expression as in . We expand it in thei_6^*i_1^*j^*)=0,$$ which says that the three points in parentheses are collinear. Observe that the point $i_1^*i_2^*\wedge i_4^*i_5^*j^*$ on the line $i_1^*i_2^*$ is different from $i_1^*$ and $i_2^*$ because $i_1^*,i_2^*,i_4^*,i_5^*,j^*$ are linearly independent. A similar argument applies to $(i_2^*i_3^*\wedge i_5^*i_6^*j^*)$ and $(i_3^*i_4^*\wedge i_6^*i_1^*j^*)$. But then, equation  implies that the points $i_1^*,i_2^*,i_3^*,i_4^*$ are coplanar, which is a contradiction.

Let us prove that the intersection point lies on $j$. By Theorem \[white’sresult\], the planes $1,\ldots,7$ osculate a twisted cubic. Hence, by projective duality, the points $1^*,\ldots,7^*$ lie on a twisted cubic. Therefore, by Theorem \[theorem-main\] we have that the following expression in the Grassmann-Cayley algebra of $(\mathbb{P}^3)^*$ is satisfied: $$(i_1^*i_2^*\wedge i_4^*i_5^*j^*)\vee(i_2^*i_3^*\wedge i_5^*i_6^*j^*)\vee(i_3^*i_4^*\wedge i_6^*i_1^*j^*)\vee j^*=0.$$ Dually, in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$ we have that $$((i_1\wedge i_2)\vee(i_4\wedge i_5\wedge j))\wedge((i_2\wedge i_3)\vee(i_5\wedge i_6\wedge j))\wedge((i_3\wedge i_4)\vee(i_6\wedge i_1\wedge j))\wedge j=0.$$

<fishdish> what about running Ubuntu on a MIPS processor? the next computer i have is a MIPS -based development board that represents a handheld. If i build a Debian kernal with MIPS support and then build Ubutnu on top of it, will it work?

<bluefoxicy> fabbione:  is there anything that need be said about JFS re not using it ever?
<fabbione> bluefoxicy: -EPARSE
<bluefoxicy> I tried to install with a jfs root, it seemed slightly tempermental. . . the system froze 2 or 3 times, and after that last one the dpkg database was hosed (I did not use apt or synaptic on that boot), the GDM Human theme was destroyed (was not written to at any point during that boot cycle), and gnome ceased to function properly (panel wouldn't start)
<fabbione> dunno i don't use JFS
<fabbione> file a bug
<bluefoxicy> so i'm on xfs now, which I have experienced things such as reset-button-while-writing etc etc and have a /home on xfs that's like forever old and has been throughof the Ubuntu kernel rather than kernel development under Ubuntu (if you see what I mean)
<mjg59> No harm in asking here, though, the worst that can happen is that you'll be ignored :)
<rysk> ok :) I'm just trying to get my graphical tablet working. Since it's recognized as an usb mouse, the driver i've made don't get to handle the tablet unless i'm forcefully unload the usbhid module. Well if anyone knows enough to tell me what to do i will be pleased to hear it :)
<mjg59> Hm. It identifies as a mouse?
<rysk> yeah, that's actually quite strange because the data sent by the tablet is not at the same format of the ones sent by a mouse
<rysk> but the hid interface protocol is set to 2 (mouse)

<Opermaxx> Hallo! Wei jemand mit welcher gcc-Version der Kernel fr Ubuntu 6.10 kompiliert wurde?
<lifeless> hi
<lifeless> I dont speak german sorry, perhaps you can repeat in english ?
<Opermaxx> Hi! Does anyone know with what gcc-version the kernel of Ubuntu 6.10 was compiled?
<lifeless> the the build deps show it just wanting gcc
<lifeless> so probably the default -4.0 I think in 6.10
<Opermaxx> but the wiki to my WLAN-Card says I need gcc-3.4; why is that?
<lifeless> I dont know
<lifeless> have you asked them ? :)
<Opermaxx> no, but it won't compile otherwise

<jbailey> Will Feisty grow things to autodetect p4-clockmod/acpi-cpufreq/etc?
<mjg59> You never want p4-clockmod
<mjg59> acpi-cpufreq ought to already be autoloaded when appropriate, I think
<jbailey> Hmm.  Last time I checked, I think my toshiba works with p4-clockmod, but not acpi-cpufreq.
<jbailey> mdy (our ISV guy) just upgraded to feisty, but we had to add acpi-cpufreq to /etc/modules.
<mjg59> No, you *really* never want p4-clockmod
<mjg59> It doesn't do voltage scaling
<mjg59> Ah

<mjg59> The module name has changed
<mjg59> Ought to fix that
<jbailey> Do all the chips support voltage scaling?
<jbailey> I thoguht that's why p4-clockmod was still around, for the chips that didn't.
<mjg59> Right, but there's no point in reducing the clock ifa minute or two
<BenC> kylem: This *_MODULE thing could be the cause of a lot of problems, so keep it in mind when you check bug reports
<BenC> I fixed all the ones I had
<kylem> _MODULE?
<BenC> kylem: The idea was that some of the pata drivers only had some of the matching PCI id's for the same IDE driver, so I had to keep the IDE driver enabled, but make it disable the matching PCI id's (so it would use pata)
<kylem> i see. hmm.
<BenC> but I used "#ifndef CONFIG_ATA_PIIX", and it wasn't matching
<BenC> it could account for this sort of thing (CD working, but normal boot isn't)
<BenC> piix, generic and siimage were the three drivers affected
<kylem> hmm.
<BenC> piix should only be used on a hand full of devices

except major bug fixes
<king_> OK -  I am probably going to refrain from putting a large and hairy patch for the broadcom b43 driver then ...
<king_> ..especially as there is a NDIS wrapper solution
<rtg> 2.6.24.2 already has  a big patch for B43.
<BenC> We may have some alternative with regard to b43
<king_> rtg: And there is another one for a specific revision 02 of a board. I think it should wait
<BenC> Ok, if there's nothing further...
<rtg> king_: depends. does it help? b43 is largely non-functional from what I can tell.
<BenC> Ok, meeting adjourned...have a great week everyone, and thanks for attending

<rtg> tjaalton: are all of the flavours represented in lrm now? virtual/xen/rt/server/generic/386/lpia ?
<rtg> tjaalton: we also need to think harder about getting lrm under git control. that would make questions like this moot since I'm too lazy to download that ginormous package.
<tjaalton> rtg: virtual & xen are missing

<mjg59> smb_tp: I was under the impression that _BCL was always there, but that _BQC sometimes provided an index rather than a value
<smb_tp> mjg59, That is the absolutely mysterious part. There is no such string as _BCL in the dsdt disassembly. But it must be somewhere. At least acpi finds it somewhere...
<mjg59> smb_tp: It's in an SSDT, not the DSDT
<smb_tp> mjg59, Hm, I feared I had some misunderstanding there. Strange enough I found a _BCL method in some DSDTs.
<mjg59> smb_tp: It depends on the implementation
<mjg59> smb_tp: Generally you'll find it in an SSDT if the system has different graphics options - that way they can ship a single BIOS and load
