controlled extensions combined with a dissolvable coating.[@cit0042] Another novel stent invented by Yachia et al (Innoventions Ltd., Akiva, Israel) relies on having both pig-tail ends non-coplanar with respect to the bladder trigone. Different materials are used at either ends of the stent which also prevents urine reflux from the bladder and into the kidney.[@cit0043] Similarly, another innovative stent to reduce ureterovesical reflux has a proximal J-end (kidney) and an anchoring structure at the bladder end. The lumen has been designed to have a narrower cross-section in the bladder, to reduce bladder irritation. A flapper valve was designed at the bladder end, which closes when the bladder pressure increases in order to prevent reflux.[@cit0044] A series of self-expandable ureteral stents were designed by Gyrus ACMI^®^ (Massachusetts, USA) with projectionsand stent encrustations.[@cit0090] Patients also need to be better informed about stent-related symptoms and communication is vital through counselling and patient information leaflets.[@cit0091] Similarly, stent registries and timely stent removal are also of utmost importance.[@cit0092]

The incidence of kidney and ureteric stones will increase over time, leading to more procedures and stent usage related to it.[@cit0093],[@cit0094] It is prudent to have mechanisms in place to shorten the dwell time using office-based ISIRIS disposable cystoscope stent removal, stent on string or magnetic stents.[@cit0095] Stent positioning and antimicrobial coated stents might also need further investigating.[@cit0096],[@cit0097] Similarly, pre-stenting prior to ureteroscopy should be avoided thereby avoiding unnecessary stenting of patients. Future work would need to be done on biodegradable stents and coated stents, although patient involvement and use of patient-reported outcome measure


due to the on-surface isolation. Firstly, a commercial high-purity bulk Si crystal (purity 99.999%) was milled in an agate mortar for 30 min, and the obtained Si powder was dissolved in absolute ethanol. The mixed liquid was ultra-sonicated for 2 h. The dispersion was then settled for 3 days to deposit undispersed particles. The final supernatant liquor was the needed Si nanosheets dispersion ([Figure 1](#materials-12-00201-f001){ref-type="fig"}a), which was directly used for the saturable absorption property measurement. For all other measurements in this paper, the Si nanosheet dispersion was dropped on the quartz substrate, and the dried component acted as the experimental sample ([Figure 1](#materials-12-00201-f001){ref-type="fig"}a).

The morphologies of Si crystal powder and Si nanosheets were observed by a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, S-4800, Hitachi, Kyoto, Japan). As shown in [Figureto the uncoated quartz substrate, not the Si nanosheet itself.

to jar of 80kg of fluid content. Imagine what happens if you pour 0.2kg of 45°C fluid into the "human jar". It is pointless. The drank mass and the available temperature difference is futile.
However, as @Chris H mentioned: the fluid goes directly to the core and its temperature could be higher than the 45°C. This makes the energy from hot drinks slightly less insignificant.
So it does not provide energy because it is hot. The most proper reason why to drink hot drink is "placebo" effect. Because of that and obvious security reasons I would suggest the following rule:
Aim for the lowest temperature that makes you feel warm.
What is pretty consistent with great answer from Marcus Wigert.
To obtain energy from hot drinks, it is suggested (thanks to @Chris HSpecifically, we were interested in the contribution of four parameters to the reaching response: the nontarget's horizontal and vertical position, its distance from the starting position, and its angle with the vertical midline of the workspace. Participants were asked to perform reaches towards physical targets while nontargets were present in 1 of 24 different positions. Our results replicate horizontal and vertical effects of the nontarget object on reaching behavior. We also replicate stronger avoidances of nontargets on the outside of the reaching limb compared to nontargets on the inside. Furthermore, our results provide a detailed overview of the interaction between these factors and demonstrate that there is a "hot" region qua nontarget positions that prompt the strongest responses. Lastly, our results provide evidence that support a fine-grained spatial


curve analysis and calculated the Youden index (*J* = maximum {sensitivity + specificity - 1}; [@bib29]) to identify an ideal cut-off point on both shortened questionnaires for potential snake/spider phobia. First, the presumable snake or spider phobics in the data set were identified using their SNAQ or SPQ scores. Based on [@bib9] and [@bib22] we categorised all subjects scoring 23 points or higher on the SNAQ as snake phobics (N = 60, i.e. 2.27%; see also [@bib25] for more details) and those with at least 22 points on the SPQ as spider phobics (N = 177, i.e. 9.75%).

The IRT analysis was performed in the STATA, version 14 ([@bib30]), for the CFA we used the SPSS Amos, version 24 ([@bib2]), all the remaining calculations were then conducted in thealso lower compared to the study by Zsido et al. (2018; SNAQ: M = 5.73 vs 9.40, SPQ: M = 8.63 vs 11.16). Moreover, our sample included a higher proportion of biology students who generally score lower on these scales (see below and [@bib25]).

As revealed by the GLzM model, the SNAQ-12 CZ score was significantly affected by gender (W = 44.86, η^2^ = 0.02, p \< 0.0001), age category (W = 13.60, η^2^ = 0.01, p = 0.018), and biological study (W = 42.56, η^2^ = 0.02, p \< 0.0001), but no education level (W = 2.40, p = 0.494), nor size of town (W = 5.66, p = 0.341). Similarly, there was a statistically significant effect of gender (W = 100.72, η^2^ = 0.06, p \< 0.0001), age


(W = 37.73, η^2^ = 0.03, p \< 0.0001), and biological study (W = 10.43, η^2^ = 0.01, p = 0.001), but no education level (W = 5.06, p = 0.167) nor size of town (W = 10.70, p = 0.058) on the SPQ-12 CZ scores. The identical finding has been previously reported for the full version of SNAQ ([@bib25]). However, the effect of age seems intricate as it tends to be correlated positively with fear of snakes but negatively with fear of spiders. Although some authors note that fear of animals should decrease with age ([@bib8]; [@bib10]), others have found a reversed trend ([@bib12]; [@bib25]), and therefore the relationship remains elusive. For the detailed results according to gender, age, and biological education, see [Table 3](#tbl3){ref-type="table"}.Table 3Mean scores and theirspider phobia, the SNAQ and SPQ, using the approach of [@bib35] to develop shorter, yet still reliable scales. We believe that bringing more evidence for psychometric qualities of these reduced and thus much faster-to-administer measures, which were tested on a nearly twice as big sample from another cultural background using a different language, would strongly support general reliability and validity of the new scales. Here we found a remarkable similarity with the original study. In total, 9 and 7 out of 12 items on the SNAQ-12 CZ and SPQ-12 CZ, respectively, were identical with those selected by [@bib35]. Furthermore, other psychometric indices of the short instruments, such as the internal consistency, correlations with their longer original versions, or their discriminatory power as diagnostic tools for specific animal phobias


turned in front of the car in bright sunshine, and Brown also failed to react.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the wreck and the functioning of the Autopilot system. After the Brown crash, critics accused Tesla of giving drivers access to a system that wasn't ready, while supporters contended the company was improving automotive safety.

Tesla's Autopilot system uses cameras, radar and computers to detect objects and automatically brake if the car is about to hit something. It also can steer the car to keep it centered in its lane. The company says that before Autopilot can be used, drivers must acknowledge that it's an "assist feature" that requires both hands on the wheel at all times. Drivers also must be prepared to take over at anygrows," the spokeswoman said.

Not all magazines that test cars are critical of Tesla and Autopilot. Road and Track said on its website this week that Autopilot is a technological achievement that should make America proud. Autopilot is at least as safe as human drivers on the highway, in a car that doesn't use gasoline and performs like a sports car, the magazine said.

Consumer Reports has expressed concerns about Autopilot before. During a November podcast, Jake Fisher, auto testing editor, said the system provided an added layer of confidence. But he was surprised that he could take his hands off the wheel for 2 ½ minutes at a time and browse the web on its dashboard screen while driving.

In February, Consumer Reports urged Tesla to change a feature within

Drivers also must be prepared to take over at any time, Tesla has said.

Which they can't, according to studies. It takes too long for the switchover if the driver is in any ways distracted, such as fiddling with their phone.

Autopilot is at least as safe as human drivers on the highway, in a car that doesn't use gasoline and performs like a sports car, the magazine said.

Those sort of statements are highly irresponsible, considering how stupid the autopilot actually is.

Again, the failure in this case wasn't that the car failed to -see- the obstacle, because it had a multitude of sensors that all reported it, but a failure of the computer to -understand- the obstacle for what it was. Theleast one example that matches with high confidence to say "that's an umbrella".

Immediately you see what the problem is when the computer has to identify more than umbrellas. Likewise, it's very much impossible to program a car with such an exhausting amount of data to identify its surroundings, however they might be

The AI needs to develop an actual understanding, but that's a hard problem the computer scientists have been wrestling with since the 70's

So the problem is thus: you got algorithms that are maybe 90% accurate at identifying particular pre-programmed things like "a billboard, a car, a road sign" from the noisy sensor data, and you make it drive a car.

99.999% of the time it's going to drive just fine because most of the time nothing unusual happens


and interacts only with other units within a given distance [@buscarino; @frasca1; @diaz; @frasca2; @diaz2].

In many cases, the motion of the agents takes place on discrete and heterogeneous media, that can be represented as complex networks. Typical examples include users browsing the World Wide Web, airplane passengers traveling throughout a country, or people playing online social games [@usair; @vittoria3; @szell]. In such systems, both the rule of motion adopted by the agents, and the heterogeneity of the environment, have an impact on the emergence and stability of collective behaviors. For this reason, metapopulation modeling has been successfully employed to explore the combined effect of mobility and non-trivial interaction patterns in different contexts, including the study of epidemic spreading and chemical reactions [@usair; @vittoria3; @vittoria1; @vittoria2; @meloni1; @meloni2].

In this work we propose0$ (fast-switching approximation) the agents on a node interact for an infinitesimal time interval before moving to another node. In this limit we have a well-mixed population of oscillators that can be approximated as a single all-to-all Kuramoto model of $W$ elements. Thus, the critical value of the coupling $\lambda$, in this case reads $\Lambda_c=2/[W\cdot\pi\cdot g(0)]$ [@strogatzrev; @acebron], and does not depend on $\alpha$.

When $\Delta\rightarrow\infty$ (slow-switching approximation), i.e. when the walk is much slower than the Kuramoto dynamics, each node of the network is an all-to-all Kuramoto system independent from the others. For a fixed value of $\lambda$, in some nodes the oscillators will reach local synchronization before eventually walking away, while in some other nodes they will not. In fact, the critical coupling strength of a node $I$


at which at least one class of nodes attains local synchronization. In particular, for a finite-size SF network with $P(k)\sim
k^{-\gamma}$ with $\gamma\in (2,3]$, as the ones used in our simulations, we get: $$\tilde{\lambda}_c(\alpha)=\frac{4(\gamma-1)\left[(k_{\text{min}})^{\gamma-1}-(k_{\text{min}})^{\alpha+1}(k_{\text{max}})^{\gamma-\alpha-2}\right]}{\pi
  W(\alpha+2-\gamma)}\;,
\label{low1}$$ when $\alpha>-1$, and: $$\tilde{\lambda}_c(\alpha)
=\frac{4(\gamma-1)\left[(k_{\text{max}})^{\alpha+1}(k_{\text{min}})^{\gamma-\alpha-2}-(k_{\text{max}})^{\gamma-1}\right]}
{\pi W(\alpha+2-\gamma)}\;,
\label{low2}$$ for $\alpha<-1$.

We notice that if the graph is uncorrelated, a motion rule with $\alpha=-1$, leads to a uniform distribution of the walkers over the nodes, since $w_I=W/N$ $\forall I$ in Eq. (\[stat\]), and all the nodes attain local synchronization altogether at $\lambda=4\text{N}/(W\pi)$, as can be seen from Eq. (\[lambdai\]). This corresponds to the largest possible value $\lambda_c^{\text{max}}$ of the critical interaction strength. In the panels A and B of Fig. \[fig1\] we report as dashed line the curves $\tilde{\lambda}_c(\alpha)$ obtained for the same values of $W/\text{N}$, $k_{\text{min}}$, $k_{\text{max}}$ and $\gamma$ usedobserve that for fixed $\gamma$ larger values of $k_{max}$ correspond to higher values of the critical coupling $\lambda_c(\alpha)$. Moreover, by increasing $\gamma$, i.e. by moving towards more homogeneous degree distributions, the critical coupling for the onset of synchronization becomes larger. This observation confirms that degree heterogeity tends to promote global synchronization, as suggested by the phase diagrams reported in Panel A and B of Fig. \[fig1\].

Also an increase of $\gamma$, which corresponds to more homogeneous degree distributions, produces an increase of the critical coupling strength.[]{data-label="fig:k_max"}](new_figure_k_max.eps){width="3in"}

The good agreement between the prediction in the slow-switching approximation and the numerical simulations reported in Fig. \[fig1\] indicates that the value $\Delta=0.05$ corresponds indeed to an intermediate regime of the system in which the motion is fast enough to allow a sufficient mixing and the attainment of global synchronization and, at the same time, it is slow enough to avoid full mixing, for which $\lambda_c(\alpha)=\Lambda_c\;\forall\alpha$.

Conclusions
===========

In this work we have shown a novel mechanism to induce and control synchronization, that is solely based on the agents motion. To this end, we introduce and study a metapopulation model of random walkers moving over a complex network. The agents obey to a one-parameter motion rule that can bias the motion either towards low-degree nodesshareholder spring - when investors had the opportunity to vote against boss' pay packages - only two in the FTSE 100 (FTSE Index: EO100.FGI - news) were rejected, it highlighted.

Metastases are defined as the appearance of neoplasms in parts of the body remote from the site of the primary tumor. Metastasis can occur through one of three processes: direct seeding of body cavities or surfaces, lymphatic spread, and hematogenous spread. The importance of laboratory utilization in the diagnosis of metastasis is explored using a case study of a 39-year-old female with metastatic breast carcinoma to the brain. This case study was carried out using clinical records, laboratory results, pathology reports, and physician interviews. Cerebrospinal fluid was obtained and examined in hematology, chemistry, and microbiology. Tissue from the breast was examined both before and after chemotherapy.

TikTok directed its moderators to prevent people with “ugly facial looks” or who shot videos in “slums” or “dilapidated housing” from having their posts promoted to its widely viewed “For You” section, according to The Intercept. A TikTok spokesperson confirmed to The Intercept that the policies had once been in place but said the guidelines were “an early blunt attempt at preventing bullying” that are no longer used.

Portions of these discriminatory guidelines have leaked in the past, revealing that TikTok intentionally prevented posts from LGBTQ users and users with disabilities from surfacing in this section. The Intercept has more detail from the leaked documents, showing that they ban people who have an “abnormal body shape” such as a “beer belly” or “ugly facial looks” such as “too manyprogress.” (“What Is Left of Socialism”, First Things, October 2002)

What is so extraordinary about this belief is that Marx actually said the direct opposite. This is not some issue of the nuanced interpretation of some obscure statement in a neglected manuscript. As capital developed, Marx argued, its productivity would grow, enabling the growth of a whole intermediate stratum between the workers and the capitalists. For example, in the first volume of Capital we read:

“the extraordinary productiveness of modern industry, … allows of the unproductive employment of a larger and larger part of the working class, and the consequent reproduction, on a constantly extending scale of [unproductive workers]” [1]

This strata would include not only unproductive workers but also non-workers and a whole army of parasites and hangers-on:

The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connexions everywhere.

The bourgeoisie has through its exploitation of the world market given a cosmopolitan character to production and consumption in every country. To the great chagrin of Reactionists, it has drawn from under the feet of industry the national ground on which it stood. All old-established national industries have been destroyed or are daily being destroyed. They are dislodged by new industries, whose introduction becomes a life and death question for all civilised nations, …

IRS CIO Richard Spires declined comment for this story, citing scheduling conflicts.

Fortunately, the agency’s practice of housing critical data in a facility in Martinsburg, W.Va., meant the long headquarters shutdown didn’t severely affect work at numerous IRS field offices. “We didn’t have to worry about corporate data, but we had to make arrangements for our core leadership team,” Dalrymple said.

The kind of short, clipped scenes and mumblecore acting often characteristic of those media are difficult to sustain at a theater like The Geary.

There were many days when I wondered why we were undertaking such a project, and whether we would ever find a way to make The Geary relevant to a contemporary audience.

Critically hurt Alexandra biker 'not wearing helmet'

A 19-year-old Alexandra man was in a critical condition in
Dunedin Hospital yesterday after he was found by friends

bike's motor stop suddenly.

They found him beside his bike.

Here are my thoughts on the events surrounding this item, and the item itself. Personally while I do admit the Bombing of Theramore Isle was very much overkill, I do not think it was unjustified. The Alliance invasion of the Barrens caused a lot of deaths, mostly on the Horde side. Entire tauren towns, most notably Camp Taurajo, were destroyed in the fighting, and the Alliance, despite the wishes of General Hawthorne, made very little effort to spare civilians.

I've found that usually when people say they're "passionate" about something,
what they're really saying is that they have a deep yearning for the high
social status they would attain if they were great at or well-known for that
thing.

Also, that they believe their status is higher because they're passionate
about that thing, and they wanted to remind you of that.

Half the time it's something they don't even devote very much time to, and
aren't even that good at.

That might be why these "follow your passion" speeches are so effective.
Everyone in the audience can have a different high-status activity in mind,

Numerous studies have found an association between complications during pregnancy and inherited thrombophilias caused by mutations in *MTHFR* and *FVL* ([@B15]--[@B17]). However, there have been no studies to date addressing the potential role of *MTHFR* and *FVL* mutations in the development of GDM in the Indian population. The objective of this study was to investigate the extent to which single amino acid substitutions in the *MTHFR* and *FVL* genes affect the risk of GDM in pregnant women of South Indian descent.

In the latter case, to calculate a Metropolis weight for a single local change of triangulation, [*i.e.*]{} a flip of one link on the triangulation, requires the recomputation of the determinant of the Dirac-Wilson operator on the modified lattice. This is a tedious task for which the number of operations grows with the third power of the system size $N$. Thus one expects that the time of a sweep through the lattice grows as $N^4$ for the fermionic configurations generator. One sweep$\lambda$ of the Dirac-Wilson operator for $N=64$ and $K=0.364$ on random lattice.](fig2.eps){width="8cm"}

In the production runs we use the method (b), which relies on generating triangulations from the partition function of the Ising model. At each measurement we ignore the values of the Ising spins and we assign frames $e_i$ and $s_{ij}$-signs to the triangulation to reconstruct the Dirac-Wilson operator (\[Hm\],\[dwo\]).

A typical spectrum of the Dirac-Wilson operator on random triangulation is shown in fig.\[Eig\]. The main effect on the spectrum of changing the hopping parameter $K$ is to rescale it around the point $(\frac{1}{2},0)$. The positions of the two claw-shaped ends of the spectrum move with $K$. One can find a value of $K$ for which the ends lie closest the origin $(0,0)$. This value can be treated as

Electrophysiological characterization of peptidergic neurosecretory terminals.
Electrical activity recorded intracellularly from peptidergic neurosecretory terminal dilatations in the sinus gland of crabs (principally Cardisoma guanhumi and C. carnifex) is described. Recordings were made from the neurohaemal organ in situ on the neural tissue of the isolated eyestalk and from isolated sinus gland-sinus gland nerve preparations. Verification that electrodes penetrated terminals was obtained by dye marking. Resting potentials ranged between -30 and -80mV. Overshooting action potentials of long duration (5-20 ms at 1/2 amplitude) relative to those of non-secretory axons (less than 2ms) were recorded in approximately 70% of stable penetrations. Action potentials occurred spontaneously at slow (less than 0.2s-1) rates in 75% of penetrations. Sequential intra- and extracellular recordings with the same microelectrode, on the same terminal, indicate impulse generationTypes of Arm Injuries

Fractures. Fractures are broken bones. A broken collarbone is the most common broken bone in children. It's easy to notice because the collar bone is tender to touch. Also, the child cannot raise the arm upward.

Dislocations. This happens when a bone is pulled out of a joint. A dislocated elbow is the most common type of this injury in kids. It's caused by an adult quickly pulling or lifting a child by the arm. Mainly seen in 1 to 4 year olds. It's also easy to spot. The child will hold his arm as if it were in a sling. He will keep the elbow bent and the palm of the hand down.

Sprains. Sprains are stretches and tears of ligaments.

Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous Gram-positive bacterium that can cause serious food-borne infections in pregnant women, newborns and immunocompromised or older adults. Some patients develop infections in the central nervous system because of the unusual ability of L. monocytogenes to breach the blood-brain barrier. The bacterium grows directly in the cytoplasm of infected host cells and moves rapidly throughout and between infected cells using a form of actin-based motility. The L. monocytogenes surface protein, ActA, is expressed in a polarized fashion and interacts with host cell cytoskeletal factors to induce the polymerization of an actin comet tail structure that pushes the bacterium through the host cell cytoplasm. The overall goal of this project is to understand the mechanism and biological significance of the actin-based motility of L. monocytogenes.Surface-coated cutting tools having single-layer or multi-layer hard coatings of TiC, TiN, TiCN, Al2O3, etc. on the surfaces of cemented carbide substrates have been conventionally used to cut works. When such surface-coated tool is used to cut difficult-to-cut alloys such as Ni-based heat-resistant alloys such as Inconel (registered trademark), heat-resistant stainless steel, etc., cutting edges are chipped due to the work hardening of difficult-to-cut alloys by cutting; hard coatings are peeled by the repeated detachment of difficult-to-cut alloys seized to the cutting edges; and the substrate matrix are destroyed by the peeling of the hard coatings. Therefore, cutting tools having hard coatings excellent not only in wear resistance but also in chipping resistance are desired.

Hi HN,

Toc is a project I've been working on for more than a year now. I'd love to
hear what you guys think about it. =)

Toc is a proof-of-concept distributed messaging app designed from the ground
up to support user data synchronization for use across multiple devices. It
uses Telehash for its messaging stack, and is built on top of an Om-inspired
architecture oriented around a central app state tree, that gets encrypted
using a custom encryption layer for persistence locally, and then synchronized
seamlessly between devices using remoteStorage.

Originally, Toc started as our group's fourth year Computer Engineering design
project at the University of Waterloo. After we graduated in May, I wanted to
polish it up a bit before releasing, but evidently went a


United States held, in Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986),
In our view the plain language of Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to establish the party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial. Id. 477 U.S. at 322, 106 S.Ct. at 2552, 91 L.Ed.2d at 273.
The Court also said, "Rule 56(e) therefore requires the nonmoving party to go beyond the pleadings and by her own affidavits, or by the `depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file,' designate `specific facts showing there is a genuine issue for trial.'" Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at p. 324, 106 S.Ct. aton wheels, congregate dining and public bus service.

The recreation facilities are run by a Recreation Board, an unofficial entity created by the *1534 park owner. The Board has no assessment powers. There is also an incorporated homeowners' association, created in 1987, pursuant to Chapter 723, Florida Statutes.
The Complaint alleges that shortly after the passage of the Act, the park owner threatened to stop enforcing the no-children rule unless the residents came up with money to pay for the installation of additional facilities and services. This demand was dropped in the face of pressure from the homeowners' association. The park owner amended the rules anyway, in 1989,


On the other hand, it is very possible that either a private party living in Plaintiffs' communities may sell their home to a family with children or that the management of Plaintiffs' communities may not let them advertise and sell their properties to families without children. Therefore, the injury is not as speculative. Third, Plaintiffs in the instant case are more immediately threatened because no illegal act must occur to start the process.
This Court is persuaded by Plaintiffs' rebuttal arguments. Plaintiffs' first rebuttal argument relies on the case of Atlanta Gas Light Co. v. United States Department of Energy, 666 F.2d 1359 (11th Cir. 1982) for its authority. In that case, the court held that declaratory relief in the context of a pre-enforcement challenge to the constitutionality ofon the issue. HUD does not issue declaratory or advisory opinions.
It is undisputed that HUD refuses to tell anyone whether they qualify for an exemption until someone guesses wrong. At this point an exhaustive and expensive investigatory process is undertaken by HUD. Following from this, it is virtually impossible for the Plaintiffs to know whether they qualify for an exemption until there is actually a case.
This Court is not persuaded by Defendant's last contention because there is no way Plaintiffs can know that they are in violation of the Act until they actually do something and it is challenged by HUD. The Court finds that Plaintiffs have standing in spite of the absence of an advisory opinion from HUD.
Defendants also allege that Plaintiffs have failed to prove any


arrangements. Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 U.S. 186, 106 S.Ct. 2841, 92 L.Ed.2d 140 (1986). In that case the Court stated that the right of decisional privacy is protected not because these decisions contribute, in some direct and material way, to the general public welfare, but because they form so central a part of an individual's life.
"Spatial" privacy recognizes a privacy interest with respect to places  the very basic right to be free within the privacy of one's own home from "sights, sounds, and tangible matter (one) does not want." Reeves v. McConn, 631 F.2d 377 (5th Cir. 1980), quoting Rowan v. United States Post Office, 397 U.S. 728, 90 S.Ct. 1484, 25 L.Ed.2d 736 (1970).
Defendant contends that Plaintiffs claim an alleged right of privacy which extends farthat legislation adjusting the burdens and benefits of personal decisions, rights and expectations comes to the Court with a presumption of Constitutionality and it is Plaintiffs' burden to establish that the legislature has acted irrationally. This Court finds that Plaintiffs have not met their burden.
Defendant also contends that Plaintiffs' assertion that the Act operates "retroactively" is without merit. The Court agrees with Defendant. Defendant relies on Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., supra. That Court held in part that:
[T]he strong deference accorded legislation in the field of national economic policy is no less applicable when the legislation is applied retroactively. Provided the retroactive application of a statute is supported by a legitimate legislative purpose furthered by a rational means, judgments about the wisdom of such legislation remains within the exclusive


any element $z \in \widehat{\UU}^+_{\Rb}$ may be written in a unique way as a convergent sum $z=\sum_{i} a_i {\mathbf{1}}_{\p_i}$ with $a_i \in \Rb$ and $\p_i \in \mathbf{Conv}^+$.

*Proof.* We will prove by induction that there exists a converging sum ${\mathbf{1}}_{\mathbf{q}} = {\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\mathbf{q}} + \sum_{\p \prec \mathbf{q}} a_\p\tilde{t}_{\p}$, with $a_\p \in \Rb$. The statement is obvious if $\mathbf{q}=(\x)$ is of length one. So let us fix some $\mathbf{q}=(\x_1, \ldots \x_r)$ and let us assume that the statement holds for any $\mathbf{q}'=(\x'_1, \ldots, \x'_{r'})$ with $r'<r$. As $${\mathbf{1}}_{\x_r}\in{\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\x_r} \oplus \prod_{deg_{>\mu(\x_r)}(\mathbf{o})>0} \Rb\tilde{t}_{\mathbf{o}},$$ we deduce using (\[E:observation\]) that ${\mathbf{1}}_{\mathbf{q}} \in
{\mathbf{1}}_{(\x_1, \ldots, \x_{r-1})} {\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\x_r} \oplus
\prod_{\mathbf{p} \prec \mathbf{q}}\Rb \tilde{t}_{\p}$. Using (\[E:observation\]) again, we have $\tilde{t}_{\p'} {\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\x_r}
\in \prod_{\p \prec \mathbf{q}} \Rb\tilde{t}_{\p}$ for any $\p' \prec (\x_1, \ldots, \x_{r-1})$. By the induction hypothesis it thus follows thatcoincides with the usual canonical basis of $\LLambda^+$ (constructed from the Jordan quiver or the nilpotent variety).\
ii) For any $\x \in \ZZ^+$ we have ${\mathbf{b}}_{\x}={\mathbf{1}}_{\x}$. Indeed, $${\mathbf{1}}_{\x}=\beta_{\x} + \sum_r \sum_{\underset{\mu(\x_1)< \cdots <\mu(\x_r)}{\x_1 + \cdots + \x_r=\x}}\nu^{\sum_{i<j}\langle \x_i,\x_j\rangle} \beta_{(\x_1, \ldots \x_r)}$$ where $\nu=-(\s\bs)^{-1/2}$ and $\langle\;,\;\rangle$ is the Euler form of $\E$.

Stacks of coherent sheaves and convolution functors
===================================================

In this section, we employ the method of [@S1] to construct a geometric incarnation of $\widehat{\UU}^+_\Rb$ along with “canonical bases” which enjoy some integrality and positivity properties. This algebra will turn out to be isomorphic to the spherical Hall algebra $\widehat{\U}^+_{\E}$, and the specialization morphism will map ${\mathbf{B}}$ to the canonical basis constructed in this fashion. This will give us in turn some positivity and integrality properties of ${\mathbf{B}}$. Whenever possible, we refer


$\mathcal{F}$ be an arbitrary coherent sheaf on $\Eb$ of class $\a$ and let us write $\mathcal{F}=\mathcal{H}_1 \oplus \cdots \oplus \mathcal{H}_s$ where $\mathcal{H}_i$ are semistable sheaves such that $\mu(\mathcal{H}_1)\leq \mu(\mathcal{H}_2) \cdots \leq \mu(\mathcal{H}_s)$. We may and will further assume that for any $i$, $\epsilon_{\infty,\mu(\mathcal{H}_i)}(\mathcal{H}_i)$ is a torsion sheaf supported at a single point $x_i \in \Eb$ and that $x_i \neq x_j$ if $\mu(\mathcal{H}_i) = \mu(\mathcal{H}_j)$ but $i \neq j$. Now let $\mathbb{P} \in D^b(\QQ^\a)^{ss}$ be any complex and let us consider the stalk of $\mathrm{Res}^{\overline{\mathcal{H}_1}, \ldots, \overline{\mathcal{H}_s}}(\mathbb{P})$ over a point $\underline{x}=(x_1, \ldots, x_s)$ with $x_i \in \mathbf{O}_{\mathcal{H}_i,m} $. Setting $\overline{\mathcal{H}_i}=\beta_i$ and using the notation in the restriction diagram $$\label{E:Proppur1}
\xymatrix{
Q_m^{\alpha} & F  \ar[l]_-{i} \ar[r]^-{\kappa} & Q_m^{\b_1} \times \cdots
\times Q_m^{\b_s}}$$ we have $\text{Res}^{\b_1, \ldots, \b_s}(\mathbb{P})_{|\underline{x}}=j_{\underline{x}}^*\kappa_{!}i^*(\mathbb{P})=\kappa_{!}(j')^*(\mathbb{P})$ where $j_{\underline{x}}: \{\underline{x}\} \to Q_m^{\b_1}form $\mathbf{IC}(Y_m^{(\a)}, \mathfrak{L}_\sigma)$ for some irreducible $\mathfrak{S}_l$-module $\sigma$. Since $\mathfrak{L}_{\sigma}$ is the extension to $\mathbf{k}$ of a local system ${}^0\mathfrak{L}_{\sigma}$ on the $\kk$-scheme ${}^0Y^{(\a)}_m$, it follows from [@FW] Section III, Cor. 9.2 that the unique isomorphism $h_{\mathbb{P}_m}: \mathbb{P}_m \stackrel{\sim}{\to} \tilde{F}^*\mathbb{P}_m$ whose restriction to the stalk of an $\kk$-point of ${}^0Y^{(\a)}_m$ is the identity endows $\mathbb{P}_m$ with a mixed structure which is globally pure of weight zero. In the case of a general $\mathbb{P} \in \mathcal{P}^\a$ we may, by Proposition \[P:descript-perv\], identify $\mathbb{P}$ with an isotypical component of a product $\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbb{P}^1 \boxtimes \cdots \boxtimes \mathbb{P}^r)$ for certain simple perverse sheaves $\mathbb{P}^i \in \mathcal{P}^{(\a_i)}$. By the above, each $\mathbb{P}^i$ is equipped with a mixed structure, globally pure of weight zero. From the definition of the induction product and [@Del], Prop. 6.2.6


type of $\mathbb{P}$. Hence we further assume that $a)$ is proved for all $\mathbb{P}'$ of weight $\b$ with $rank(\b)=rank(\a)$ and $deg(\b) < deg(\a)$ and for all $\mathbb{P}' \in \mathcal{P}^\a$ such that $HN(\mathbb{P}') \prec HN(\mathbb{P})$. Note that for any given $n$ and $\mathbb{P}$ there exist only finitely many such $\mathbb{P}' $ as above for which $\mathbb{P}'_n \neq 0$ so that an induction argument is indeed justified.

Let us write $HN(\mathbb{P})=\underline{\a}=(\a_1, \ldots, \a_r)$, and let us first suppose that $\mathbb{P}$ is not generically semistable, i.e that $r >1$. Consider the complex $$\mathbb{R}=\mathrm{Ind}^{\a_1, \ldots, \a_r}
\circ \mathrm{Res}^{\a_1, \ldots, \a_r}(\mathbb{P}) \in
\mathcal{Q}^{\alpha}.$$ As in [@S1], Lemma 7.1., we have $$\label{E:proofcan1}
supp(\mathbb{R}) \subset
\bigcup_{(\underline{\beta}) \preceq (\underline{\alpha})} \underline{HN}^{-1}
(\underline{\beta})$$ and if $j: \underline{HN}^{-1}(\underline{\alpha}) \hookrightarrow \QQ^\alpha$ is the embedding then $$\label{E:proofcan2}
j^*(\mathbb{R}) \simeq j^*(\mathbb{P}).$$ Let us first assume that $\mu(\a_2)\neq \infty$, so thatFor any $\mathbf{p} \in \mathbf{Conv}^+$ we have ${\mathbf{b}}_{\p} \in \beta_{\p} + \prod_{\p' \prec \p}\nu \mathbb{N}[\nu,t^{\pm 1}] \beta_{\p'}$,

2.  For any $\p,\p' \in \mathbf{Conv}^+$ we have ${\mathbf{b}}_{\p}{\mathbf{b}}_{\p'} \in \prod_{\p''} \mathbb{N}
    [\nu^{\pm 1}, t^{\pm 1}] {\mathbf{b}}_{\p''}$.

*Proof.* Lemma \[L:Basis\] allows us to define in a unique way an involution $x \mapsto x^{\vee}$ of $\widehat{\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}}^+_{\Rb}$ by $\sigma^\vee=\sigma^{-1}, \overline{\sigma}^\vee=\overline{\sigma}^{-1}$ and ${\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}}^{\vee}={\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}}$. Note that $\nu^{\vee}=\nu^{-1}$, $t^{\vee}=t^{-1}$. We claim that this involution coincides with the bar involution $x \mapsto \overline{x}$ considered in Section 2. To see this, first observe that we may naturally extend the definition of ${\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}}$ to an arbitrary semisimple complex $\mathbb{P} \in \bigsqcup \mathcal{Q}^{\a}$ by bilinearity and by setting ${\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}[i](i/2)}=\nu^i{\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}}$. With this convention, (\[E:star\]) holds for an arbitrary semisimple $\mathbb{P}$. Next, it is clear that ${\mathbf{b}}_{\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbb{P} \boxtimes \mathbb{P}')}={\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}}{\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}'}$ and ${\mathbf{b}}_{\mathbb{P}}^{\vee}={\mathbf{b}}_{D(\mathbb{P})}$ (recall


double (with trivial center) $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}_{\Rb}$ of $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}_{\Rb}$. This action is compatible with the elements ${\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\mathbf{p}}$ and $\beta_{\mathbf{p}}$; if $\gamma \in SL(2,\Z)$ is such that $\gamma(\mathbf{p}) \in \mathbf{Conv}^+$ then $\gamma \cdot {\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\mathbf{p}}={\mathbf{1}}^{\ss}_{\gamma(\mathbf{p})}$ and $\gamma \cdot \beta_{\mathbf{p}}=\beta_{\gamma(\mathbf{p})}$. Now fix $\gamma,\mathbf{p},\mathbf{q}$ as in the Proposition. Recall from Section 2.2 that for a convex path $\mathbf{r}$ for which $\omega^{-1}(\mathbf{r}) \in \mathcal{P}^{\a_1} \times \cdots \times \mathcal{P}^{\a_r}$ we set $HN(\mathbf{r})=(\a_1, \ldots, \a_r)$ and that $\mathbf{r} \prec \mathbf{r}'$ is equivalent to $HN(\mathbf{r}) \prec HN(\mathbf{r}')$. The action of $\gamma$ on $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{E}}_{\Rb}$ lifts at the geometric level to an isomorphism between open substacks of $\QQ^{|\mathbf{p}|}$ and $\QQ^{|\gamma(\mathbf{p})|}$ : $$i_{\gamma}: \bigsqcup_{HN(\underline{\sigma}) \succ HN(\mathbf{q})} \underline{HN}^{-1}(\underline{\sigma}) \stackrel{\sim}{\longrightarrow} \bigsqcup_{HN(\underline{\sigma'}) \succ HN(\gamma(\mathbf{q}))} \underline{HN}^{-1}(\underline{\sigma})$$ which maps isomorphically the substacks $Z_{\omega^{-1}(\mathbf{p})}$ onto $Z_{\omega^{-1}(\gamma(\mathbf{p}))}$ (see \[E:XP\]). In particular, this allows us to identify the Frobenius traces ofand are generally followed by co-rotating two-armed spiral structures that both develop and wind up more slowly. In our simulations self-gravity in the disc is not very strong and these spiral structures are found to be kinematic density waves. We demonstrate that there is a clear link between each spiral mode in the disc and a given subhalo that caused it, and by changing the mass of the subhalo we can modulate the strength of the spirals. Furthermore, we find that the majority of subhaloes interact with the disc impulsively, such that the strength of spirals generated by subhaloes is proportional to the total torque they exert. We conclude that only a handful of encounters with massive subhaloes is sufficient for re-generating and sustaining spiral structures in discs


response in gaseous and stellar components are very similar.

In this work we aim to study the influence of subhaloes on stellar discs with a more realistic setup to address the following problems: [*a)*]{} how subhaloes with realistic properties and trajectories extracted from cosmological simulations interact with the stellar disc, [*b)*]{} how multiple subhaloes impacting the disc in succession influence each other, and [*c)*]{} how the strength of the spiral structures depends on the properties of the subhaloes.

In Section \[sec:method\], we introduce our simulation setup. We present the dark matter properties of our main simulation in Section \[sec:sssrs\], where realistic subhaloes impacting the central disc are identified. Disc heating due to subhaloes is discussed in Section \[sec:disc-heating\]. Non-axisymmetric modes including the spiral structures that develop are studied in Section \[sec:modes\]. The kinematic properties1$ is shown in the middle row of Figure \[fig:traject\]. From all these subhaloes we select the ones that interact with the disc based on the following criteria: [*a)*]{} their impact radius $r$ is less that $5\,R_\mathrm{S}$, [*b)*]{} their mass exceeds $
10^9\,\mathrm{M_\odot}$. There are more subhaloes that either hit the disc plane further out or have a lower mass, but we filter them out as they play a minor role in the development of spiral structures in the disc as we have explicitly checked (see e.g. Appendix \[sec:abc\]). The properties of impacting subhaloes based on our criteria above are listed in Table \[tab:1\]. They hit the disc at various redshifts from $z = 1$ to $z
\sim 0.4$ and have different angle of incidence and rotation direction. Generally, as expected, subhaloes that


discs. Compared to their results, we find similar ring-type density fluctuations. The disc thickening and heating rate before $z=0.5$ is moderately higher than found by @Moetazedian2016, which could be due to the fact that our stellar disc is less massive. For $z < 0.5$, we see much higher disc thickening and heating due to the massive subhalo G, which, interestingly, has a similar mass to a massive subhalo in their Aq-F2 model (both $\sim 5\times
10^{10}$), which also caused a significant jump in disc thickness and velocity dispersion. Furthermore, similarly to @Moetazedian2016, all of the examined disc properties are affected by the subhaloes primarily in the outer regions, while in the innermost disc region, i.e. for $R <
2\,R_{\rm S}$, these global disc properties change much less. This is not0.6$, which coincides with the time of impact of subhaloes B and C. Recall that subhalo C is the same subhalo as A, whose influence on the second generation of modes can be studied with Figure \[fig:1-0\]. By removing subhalo A/C, the strength of the second generation of modes at $1\,R_\mathrm{S}$ reduces only slightly for $0.6 < z < 0.75$. To study the influence of subhalo B, we first restart the original simulation with subhalo B removed. The result is shown with the dashed curves in Figure \[fig:84\]. As highlighted by the light blue region in the left panel, the strength of the second generation of $m = 1$ modes at $1\,R_{\rm S}$ decreases greatly when subhalo B is removed, while a mild decrease can be found at $2\,R_{\rm S}$.


no prominent difference can be seen for $m = 1$ modes at $1\,R_{\rm S}$ at $4\,R_{\rm S}$. For $m = 2$ modes, strength at all radii decreases after removing subhalo G. When subhalo G is closest to the disc centre, its projection on the $x-y$ plane of the disc is $\sim 1.16\,R_{\rm S}$ away from the disc centre. As will be discussed later, the low strength of spirals in the inner region is related to the resonance effect. For $4\,R_{\rm S}$, the $m = 1$ mode is not very effected because there are many more smaller subhaloes that interact with the outer region of the disc.

We notice that some $m = 1$ and $m = 2$ modes are still present in the disc when subhalo G is removed.We find that apart from the influence of the subhalo G, the third generation of modes also consist of: [*a)*]{} the remains of previously generated modes, [*b)*]{} structures generated by some smaller subhaloes hitting the disc, and [*c)*]{} modes triggered by “neighbours” of subhalo G that also fly over the disc at a similar time. To understand the interplay of these different effects, we remove all smaller subhaloes that hit the disc between $z = 0.3$ and $z = 0.5$. This removes the $m = 1$ modes at $1R_{\rm S}$. As a second experiment, we remove subhalo G and its “neighbours”, i.e. subhaloes whose initial positions and trajectories are very similar to subhalo G’s. The strength of the modes at $2\,R_{\rm S}$ for $m = 1$ and $2$


in our simulation is much higher than the typical pattern speed of $m=1$ and $m=2$ modes in the stellar disc. As a result, the interaction between subhaloes and the disc is rather impulsive, as we show next with a simulation with a massive prograde subhalo. In this simulation, we restart the Phase-3 simulation with the mass of subhalo D increased by a factor of $10$, where subhalo D is prograde. If the subhalo would interact with the disc through resonances, $m =
2$ modes should be the strongest (because they have a positive pattern speed). However, we find that single-armed spiral structures still develop first and have a higher amplitude than the $m = 2$ modes. This indicates that the explanation of resonances does not hold in our simulations.

Insteadthe effects of subhaloes only. With a disc more dominated by self-gravity we expect that grand-design spiral arms triggered by satellites will themselves be a source of flocculent arms thanks to swing amplification. Hence, stellar disc interaction with satellites, within the standard hierarchical structure formation scenario, appears as a very promising and natural way of generating a variety of spiral structures in the discs as well as bars, warps, tilted rings and lopsidedness.

We have to find $\rho_\mathrm{T1}(r)$ and $\rho_\mathrm{T2}(r)$ so that the triaxial profile is satisfied, i.e. $$\label{eq:s}
  \rho_\mathrm{x}(r)=\rho_\mathrm{y}(rp(r))=\rho_\mathrm{z}(rq(r)).$$

This equation is hard to solve analytically. We therefore approximate it by assuming that locally the density profile follows a power law of index $\frac{\mathrm{d}\log(\rho)}{\mathrm{d\log(r)}}$. We can rewrite Equation  as $$\label{eq:wr}
\rho_\mathrm{x}(r)=\frac{\rho_\mathrm{y}(r)}{p(r)^\alpha}=\frac{\rho_\mathrm{z}(r)}{q(r)^\alpha},$$ where $\alpha=-\frac{\mathrm{d}\log(\rho)}{\mathrm{d\log(r)}}$ is the negative power law index. Solving this equation yields Equation  and . We implement this approximation and calculated the resulting triaxial profile, as shown in the right panel of Figure \[fig:1\]. The profile is rounder in the inner region and gradually decreases to the simulated profile at the outer region, as expected.

Riding the Wave of Surfer Fitness

To the casual spectator, surfing seems to involve primarily balance, grace, nervy insouciance and a certain laid-back, ineffable oneness with the powers of the deep. But a series of newly published studies of the actual physical demands of surfing reveal that other, sometimes surprising aspects of fitness may be as important to surfing success as the ability to judge and remain upright on a swell.

Studying surfing is a tricky business, since it requires tracking people who are in rapid motion far out on a billowy sea. There is no reliable lab-based treadmill equivalent to riding a wave, which is one of the reasons little surfing science has been completed to date.

But the Auckland researchers overcame that obstacle by fitting the surfers with tiny,for instance, spend very little time actually surfing, if surfing is defined as riding a wave. Only about 8 percent of the time that the surfers spent in the water consisted of time atop a wave. Rides were short but fast, with average speeds of more than 25 miles per hour and top speeds approaching 30 m.p.h.

Riders spent far more time paddling to the waves, with that activity accounting for about 54 percent of their total time in the ocean. The rest of each session was spent maintaining position while waiting for a wave or in brief, intense bursts of paddling to catch a wave.

Perhaps most surprising for people who think surfing looks calm and meditative, surfers’ heart rates soared to a chest-burning 190-plus beats per minute during


the competitions and rarely dropped below 120 beats per minute. The surfers also covered considerable territory while paddling, averaging more than half a mile during each heat, or about a mile and a half per competition.

In other words, surfing is a considerable workout requiring high-level aerobic endurance, Mr. Farley says, given that the heart rate stays above 120 beats per minute at least 80 percent of the time, and given the amount of time spent paddling.

But surfing also requires muscular power, particularly in the upper body, he continues. In the second of the new surfing studies, also conducted by Mr. Farley and his colleagues and published this month in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, elite surfers visited the group’s lab and lay on a bench equippedBison will be coming to our reservation later in the year and look forward to meeting with them again.

ESPN's projections are the product of an analysis of a player's past performance, growth or regression potential and expected playing opportunity. While the overall ranking is based in large part on the player's projected performance, it also takes into account risk factors such as age, injury history and past statistical fluidity, the players' ceiling (upside), as well as positional and categorical scarcity.

2015 Outlook: Concussions have stifled Jaso's production in each of the past two seasons since a breakout in 2012. His position alone continues to give him value, but with only one season north of 400 plate appearances (that was five years ago), it is really hard to view him as a legitimate option in anything besides AL-only OBP leagues. Even worse, his value took a


On the flip side, if he proves capable of drawing walks at a rate closer to his Double-A level (10.6 percent), Vargas should stick as a regular and offer a much-needed boost to the heart of the Minnesota lineup.

2015 Outlook: Despite being a straight platoon bat, Joyce had established himself as a solid power source, good for a mid-teens home-run total. His power inexplicably dried up against righties in 2014 with just 8 home runs after clubbing at least 14 in each of the prior three seasons. A drastic shift in his batted-ball profile looks like the culprit. After carrying a fly ball slant throughout his career, he hit more groundballs than fly balls for the first time in his career last year. Add in a big drophydrogen directly, while others reform secondary hydrocarbon fuels, such as methanol, ethanol, gasoline, diesel, or natural gas, to produce hydrogen—though these reformers are less efficient and pose significant purification issues to remove contaminants from the hydrogen stream that are harmful to the anode-side of the fuel cell.
It is widely known that atmospheric air contains numerous contaminants, both particulate and chemical. These contaminants may range from large items (e.g., leaves, papers, debris, insects, and horticultural products), to small particulate items down to sub-micron sizes (e.g., dust, pet dander, viruses, spores, pollen, smokes, smog, and aerosols). Chemical contaminants are also widely present in atmospheric air, with sources that range from man-made pollution to products of natural environmental causes. Typical atmospheric contaminants include volatile organic compounds such as methane, butane, propane,


to do? I don't get any warning about badly-conditioned matrices.

A:

The problem is rounding error.  The option Tolerance is one way Mathematica lets you deal with it in some functions.
SeedRandom[0];
n = 1000;
m = 10;
a = RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {n, m, m}];
b = RandomVariate[WishartMatrixDistribution[11, IdentityMatrix[10]], n];
result = Table[a[[i]].LinearSolve[b[[i]], Transpose[a[[i]]]], {i, 1, Length[a]}];

Total[PositiveDefiniteMatrixQ /@ result]
Total[SymmetricMatrixQ[#, Tolerance -> 1*^-10] & /@ result]

Here's why 1*^-10 is about the right tolerance:

The condition number estimates the relative loss of precision due to LinearSolve.  The maximum absolute value of the entries of the matrices b are near 1, so $MachineEpsilon is the right number to use to multiply the condition number.

respectively. Here, $\phi$’s are the phase differences across the Josephson junctions and $\Phi_0\equiv h/2e$ the superconducting unit flux quantum. Since the number of excess Cooper pair charges on the Josephson junctions, $\hat{N_i}\equiv \hat{Q}_i/2e$ with $Q_i=C(\Phi_0/2\pi){\dot\phi_i}$, is conjugate to the phase difference $\hat{\phi}_i$ such as $[\hat{\phi}_i,\hat{N_i}]=i$, the canonical momentum, $\hat{P}_i\equiv \hat{N_i}\hbar= -i\hbar\partial /\partial \hat{\phi}_i$, can be introduced. Then the Hamiltonian is given by $$\begin{aligned}
\label{Hamiltonian}
\hat{H}=\frac12\hat{ P}^T_i{M}^{-1}_{ij}\hat{ P}_j+U_{\rm eff}(\hat{\bm{\phi}}),\end{aligned}$$ where $M_{ij}=(\Phi_0/2\pi)^2C_i\delta_{ij}$ is the effective mass and $\hat{\bm{\phi}}=(\phi_{L1}, \phi_{L2}, \phi_{L3}, \phi_{R1},
\phi_{R2}, \phi_{R3}, \phi')$. If we neglect the small inductive energy, the effective potential becomes the energy of the Josephson junctions such as $U_{\rm eff}(\bm{\phi})=\sum^3_{i=1}E_{Ji}(1-\cos\phi_{Li})
+\sum^3_{i=1}E_{Ji}(1-\cos\phi_{Ri})+E'_{J}(1-\cos\phi')$.

Since the qubit operations are performed experimentally at near the co-resonance point, we can set $f_L=f_R=0.5$ with $f_{L(R)}\equiv \Phi_{L(R)}/\Phi_0$ and the total flux $\Phi_{L(R)}$ threading the left (right) qubitthat a maximally entangled state is possible in the ground state by varying the Josephson coupling energy in the connecting loop. In Fig. \[Conc\](a), we plot the concurrence for the ground state, ${\cal C}(\left|\psi_G\right\rangle)$, of the Hamiltonian in Eqs. (\[totalH\])$-$(\[H2\]) as a function of $f_{p(m)}=(f_L\pm f_R)/2$ for $E_J'=0.6E_J$ and $E_{J1}=0.7E_J$. A broad ridge of the concurrence along the line $f_p=0.5$ shows a high entanglement between the two qubits. This region corresponds to the central part of the honeycomb type potential of coupled qubits in Ref. near the co-resonance point, $f_L=f_R=0.5$. Away from the co-resonance point we can numerically calculate concurrences without using the analytic effective potential in Eq. (\[Ueff\]) obtained by introducing a few approximations [@Kim]. Figure \[Conc\](b) shows the cut view of the concurrence at $f_p=0.5$ (dotted


for maximal entanglement is approximately $E_J'\gtrsim  0.03 E_J$. Therefore, for a maximally entangled state of the two flux qubits, it is required that $E_{J1}$ should be controlled around $0.7E_J$ with $E'_J \gtrsim 0.03 \, E_J$.

For $E'_J \ll E_J$, the concurrence is very small because the four states are nearly degenerated due to the weak coupling between the qubits and $t^{L,R}_1 \gg t^{a,b}_2$. As $E'_J$ increases, the coupling between the qubits is much stronger and $t^a_2$ becomes much dominant over than other tunneling processes, $t^{L}_1$, $t^{R}_1$, and $t^b_2$. In a strong coupling limit, $t^{L}_1, t^{R}_1, t^b_2 \ll t^a_2$ and $E_{s,s} < E_{s,-s}$. If we with the split energies, $E_{\downarrow\downarrow}=E_0-\delta E$ and $E_{\uparrow\uparrow}=E_0+\delta E$ around the co-resonance point. $f_L=f_R \approx 0.5$ Then the concurrence of the ground state isplatelet-activating factor (PAF), and other inflammatory factors \[[@B10]--[@B12]\].

At the same time, in the study of cellular recognition mechanism induced by activating complement, we figured out that two nanoparticles could induce TLR4/NF-*κ*B signal pathway to initiate inflammatory reaction of monocyte. Therefore, combining NF-*κ*B expression, this research further verified the mechanism of two nanoparticles HAP and SiO~2~ causing monocyte injury through complement activation. Experimental results showed that HAP and SiO~2~ could all induce NF-*κ*B transferring from the cytoplasm to the nuclei and being activated ([Figure 7](#fig7){ref-type="fig"}). NF-*κ*B was of important regulation effects to gene expression in immune and inflammation related reactions and it was an oxidative stress reaction related nuclear transcription factor. Once NF-*κ*B was activated from the cytoplasm to the nuclei, formation of target gene mRNA was induced and high ROShad given an ethical approval for the human blood.

A web tool, the Caloric Calculator, was developed to allow researchers and policymakers to estimate the ACIs of interventions on target populations with reference to energy gap reductions required to reach the nation's Healthy People childhood obesity goals. The Caloric Calculator and ACIs provide researchers and policymakers with a common metric for estimating the potential effect sizes of various interventions for reducing childhood obesity, providing a platform for evidence-based dialogues on new program or policy approaches as data emerge.all the way?

Towards the end of the 10th marathon, he collapsed. When they told him there were three switchback miles to go, he said: "I do that then." His therapist begged him to walk, but he did it running and, to celebrate, freewheeled downhill into Builth Wells (pop. approx 2,000) and a rousing civic reception. "I like making a little bit of a rumpus, a little bit of a circus coming to town, because I grew up in Bexhill, and not much happens in Bexhill." Even less, I suspect, in Builth Wells, but when it does they make the most of it. Twitter had gone ahead like a carrier pigeon and the street was packed with cheering people, boys pulling faces at the

4 p.m. check-in, when the housekeeping staff goes from room to room. Moreno said guests occasionally answer the door naked -- without even so much as a towel -- something that her sister, who used to work as a housekeeper, has also experienced.

Housekeepers Share Their Stories

Moreno, and many other female hotel workers, are now speaking out, inspired by the bravery of two New York hotel maids.

After the New York housekeepers reported alleged abuse, police arrested two powerful men: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund and former banking executive Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar, who now heads El-Mex Salines Co., a solar salt producer in Egypt.

Omar is accused of sexually abusing a maid Sunday at The Pierre, a luxury 5-star hotel on New York's swanky 5thto describe room attendants or housekeepers -- not only suggests subservience, but also has sexual overtones.

"The term 'maid' conjures up images we'd like to avoid … curtseys and short skirts," he said.

While the Sofitel, where the Strauss-Kahn incident occurred, has been roundly credited for reacting quickly and appropriately to the maid's allegations, advocates for hotel workers said this high-profile example is more the exception than the rule.

"The housekeepers have no say," said Lorena Lopez, a Los Angeles-based organizer for Unite Here, the hotel workers' union charged with protecting women like the maid in the Strauss-Kahn case.

Housekeepers will have their say Thursday, however, when Hotel Workers Rising has scheduled press conferences in nine cities with nearly 100 women, including those who are not part of any union, to share

They show several options for incorporating a flat-top antenna 5 at various locations in the vehicle, particularly in the roof 2, in the console 3 and in the floor 4. It is advantageous to cover the console 3 and the floor 4 with one and the same antenna, so as to avoid destroying the field and to save on one driver.

It is also possible to cover the console and the floor independently using two flat-top antennas, taking care to controlof a major bodily function of the man. This bill mimics the abortion bills throughout the nation, and just like the abortion bills interfere with a woman’s right to choose, it’s only fair that the General Assembly debate the men’s right to choose, as well.

In a similar vein, in Virginia last month, state Senator Janet Howell attached an amendment to the now-infamous ultrasound bill which would require men seeking medication for erectile dysfunction to first undergo a prostate exam and a cardiac stress test. Unlike the ultrasound bill, this at least isn’t wholly extraneous, health-wise.

any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.

judge found that the police officers did not act negligently because they acted pursuant to established Puerto Rico procedure, precludes the litigation of the section 1983 action against them here. It is the theory of the policemen that the finding of no negligence by the local judge precludes the possibility of finding that they deprived plaintiff of his federal constitutional rights.
The police officers are attempting to invoke the doctrine of so-called non-mutual defensive collateral estoppel. The non-mutual defensive collateral estoppel doctrine is as follows: Plaintiff "P" sues Defendant "D1" and loses on all issues on the merits. Plaintiff "P" then sues Defendant "D2" in a situation where one of the necessary elements of the claim is one of the issues that "P" lost on in the first action.Court of Puerto Rico has opened the door for the abandonment of mutuality. A & P General Contractors, Inc. v. Asociación Caná, Inc., 110 D.P.R. 748 (1981). In that case, the court faced an issue of so-called offensive use of collateral estoppel, a plaintiff in a later action who seeks to estop a defendant from relitigating issues which the defendant had lost in a previous case. See Parklane Hosiery Co. Inc. v. Shore, 439 U.S. 322, 99 S.Ct. 645, 58 L.Ed.2d 552 (1979) (leading federal case of offensive collateral estoppel). The A & P court found that the Puerto Rico statute would not allow for offensive use of the type claimed. We agree with defendants that the A & P court was less unsympathetic to the use of

Prison Officials
Plaintiff sues two officials in the Corrections Department of the Commonwealth of *135 Puerto Rico in their individual capacity, alleging that plaintiff's pleas of innocence to the prison guards were ignored, and that the prison conditions under which plaintiff was held were barbaric.
We find no cause of action stated here. Even assuming that the arrest and commitment by judicial officers of plaintiff was illegal, and even assuming that the continued failure on the part of the police to rectify their error in some time less than thirty-one days was a constitutional violation, none of those misdeeds can be charged to the Corrections Department or its staff.
