Each SPB nucleates 14 MTs, with their minus-ends tethered to the SPBs by a spring and which undergo dynamic instability at their plus-ends. Steric interactions are mediated by short-range hard repulsion between MTs, SPBs, and the nuclear envelope ([Figure 1A,B](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}, Appendix 1). Three classes of motors and crosslinkers assemble the spindle ([Figure 1A,B](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}).

envelope model requires the translation and rotation mobility matrices describing the motion of SPBs ($\mu_{{SPB},{tb}}$ and $\mu_{{SPB},{rb}}$). These are based on the diffusion of SPBs ([Table 1](#table1){ref-type="table"}). The wall force is described by a membrane tube radius $f_{tube}$ and asymptotic wall force for both MTs $f_{{MT},w}$ and SPBs $f_{{SPB},w}$ ([@bib98]). SPB-MT tether spring constants were increased to stiffen the interaction between MT minus-ends and the SPBs. 1.1.5 Motors and crosslinkers {#s14} ----------------------------- We model kinesin-5 motors (Cut7), kinesin-14 motors (Pkl1 and Klp2), and crosslinkers (Ase1). Kinesin-5 motors in the model are plus-end directed only when crosslinking antiparallel MTs; otherwise, they are minus-end directed ([@bib14]; [@bib136]; [@bib64]; [@bib156]; [@bib53]; [@bib48]; [@bib147]). Kinesin-14 motors are minus-end directed ([@bib131]; [@bib160]; [@bib29]; [@bib129]; [@bib76]; [@bib176]; [@bib177]). Crosslinkers have an increased binding affinity for antiparallel MTsMT, $D_{l}$ is the one-dimensional diffusion coefficient of the attachment on the MT ($D_{tip}$ for MT tips, $D_{side}$ for sides), $f_{{AF},{track}}$ is the tip-tracking fraction, and $d_{poly}$ is the distance the MT polymerized in the last time step (this effect is only turned on for MT tips). The random displacement term $\delta x_{l}{(t)}$ is Gaussian random noise with variance $2D_{l}\delta t$. Attachments between kinetochores and MTs do not detach when they reach MT tips. The kinetochore motor force-velocity relation is linear, as for crosslinking motors,$${{v{(\mathbf{F},\mathbf{u}_{MT})}} = {v_{0}{\max\left( 0,{\min\left( 1,{1 + {\mathbf{u}_{MT} \cdot \frac{\mathbf{F}}{f_{stall}}}} \right)} \right)}}},$$where $f_{stall}$ is the stall force of the attachment and $v_{0}$ is the speed.

pole to use in the analysis. The spindle pole body-kinetochore fitness is$${{f_{{SPB} - {KC}}{(s,t)}} = {\frac{1}{2N_{c}}{\sum\limits_{c}{\max{({\rho_{1,1,c} + \rho_{2,2,c}},{\rho_{1,2,c} + \rho_{2,1,c}})}}}}},$$where $N_{c}$ is the number of chromosomes, $c$ sums over the chromosomes, and $\rho_{1,1,c}$ is the Pearson correlation coefficient for comparing kinetochore one in the simulation to kinetochore one in the experiment, and so on. The interkinetochore separation has fitness$${{f_{{KC} - {KC}}{(s,t)}} = {\frac{1}{N_{c}}{\sum\limits_{c}\rho_{{{KC} - {KC}},c}}}},$$where $\rho_{{{KC} - {KC}},c}$ is the Pearson correlation coefficient of interkinetochore separation of chromosome $c$. The dynamic fitness function is then$${{f_{d}{(s,t)}} = {f_{L} + f_{{SPB} - {KC}} + f_{{KC} - {KC}}}}.$$ For each set of simulation parameters, the dynamic fitness is averaged over all simulated and experimental time traces. To promote long-lived simultaneous biorientation of all chromosomes and end-on kinetochore attachments to MTs, we measure theproposes a set of rules that helps explain how mitosis is executed in fission yeast and possibly in metazoan cells, whose spindles are likely to be governed by similar fundamental principles. **Decision letter after peer review:** Thank you for submitting your article \"Mechanisms of chromosome biorientation and bipolar spindle assembly analyzed by computational modeling\" for consideration by *eLife*.

the authors added extensive revision on the role of Ase1 crosslinker (and pliable nuclear envelop). Specifically, they stated that in their model, the motor Klp9 can also act as a crosslinker in the absence of Ase1. Therefore, the removal of Ase1 would still produce a bipolar spindle, due to the action of Klp9. Reported data from several labs (McCollum, Millars, Toda, Tran) clearly showed that Klp9 does not function until anaphase. Thus, the authors cannot model the absence of Ase1 as still having crosslinking via Klp9. 10.7554/eLife.48787.sa2 Author response > Essential revisions: > > 1\) The representation of error correction in the model should be re-examined. The destabilization of incorrect attachments is suggested to represent the activity of Aurora B kinase. However, this would require the enzyme to somehow respond to a highlyfor spindle integrity (Yukawa et al., 2019). In our model, the molecules represent classes of functions like crosslinking, so our crosslinking molecule would include the function of both Ase1 and Klp9 in crosslinking spindle microtubules. Consistent with this idea, Yukawa et al. demonstrated that the double deletion of Klp9 and Ase1 is lethal, as our model shows. Using data from Carpy et al., 2014, we find that there are approximately equal numbers of Klp9 tetramers and Ase1 dimers in fission-yeast cells. Therefore, we estimate that deleting Ase1 corresponds to removing about half the crosslinking molecules in our simulations. We studied how spindle assembly and crosslinking changes with crosslinker number and added this to Figure 3C. We find that in our model losing about half the crosslinkers leads to

slightly shorter spindles and slightly less biorientation, consistent with experimental results and cell viability. We have added text to the manuscript to discuss this in more detail. > 3\) The final metaphase spindle lengths observed in the simulations may not be a natural consequence of the force-balance inherent in the spindle, but instead due to the simplifying assumption that the nuclear envelope is defined as a rigid sphere. While the reviewers acknowledge that including flexibility of the nuclear membrane would likely increase the computational requirements of the model significantly, textual revisions acknowledging the limitations of the current model in regard to this point are needed. We agree with the referees that the rigidity of the nuclear envelope in our model may affect force balance and spindle length.

Since your forum Cathinfo.com is one of the most important platforms for resistance supporters, I am sending you the following news: Rome has sent an agreement proposal to Menzingen a few days ago. +Fellay is currently considering the final signing. I have this information from our priests who are also against this Operation Suicide and they have three sources: 1. The district leader of Switzerland F. Henry Wuilloud has told his priests that Menzingen received the agreement proposal at their last meeting. 2. [...] 3. F. Franz Schmidberger, currently head of the seminary at Zaitzkofen, has told a layman that Menzingen has now the proposal on the table and that it will onlytake a short while that all will be settled with Rome. They only have to solve a "few minor issues". You do not know me in person and I am only a passive reader of Cathinfo.com, but I am begging you: Spread the word that the deal is now on the table! Matthew, there are still many good but extremely naive laymen out there. They cannot imagine +Fellay negotiating with Conciliar Rome.

Several patents have issued since the commercial success of electric discharge machining (hereinafter "EDM") relating to the devices which can hold EDM tooling so that it may be repeatably placed in operable position in the EDM machine and removed therefrom. Typically such devices, which are herein termed "tool holders", may be repetitively positioned with great accuracy in and thereafter removed from the EDM machine many times during the course of a production run. In the present state of the art, EDM tooling, also sometimes referred to as EDM electrodes, is formed from stock which is mounted in a tool holder, the tooling is then created, and thereafter remains with the holder throughout the useful life of the tooling. The tooling is created in the tool holder to avoid theproblem of accurately positioning the tooling in the proper X, Y and Z orientations in the tool holder. The tool holder has certain locating devices that enables the holder (and in turn the tooling) to be repeatably positioned very accurately in the EDM machine. Thus, for each EDM tool, there is a tool holder. Tool holders of the prior art useable in EDM machines are shown in the following representative U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,621,821; 4,815,780; 4,855,558; 5,065,991; 5,415,382. Presently, EDM tool holders are machined of metal. Such holders typically sell for $40.00 or more. As there must be one such holder for each EDM tool, users of such tooling tie up substantial monies just in the cost of the holders. Accordingly, inventory costs merely for tool holders become a

A: The jar (RXTXcomm.jar) is the same as offers the API. The difference is the native implementation (dll in Windows), so you can try to generate different applets for different platforms supported and let user choose the right one. Another way is trying to bundle all native libraries and could work.

RAPD assay of wild-type olives in Turkey. Genetic similarities and distances between wild-type olives in Turkey were studied using an RAPD-PCR assay. Seven wild olive tree samples were collected from villages in Manisa and Izmir provinces. Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves and the RAPD-PCR assay was used to generate RAPD markers. Sixty-five random primers obtained from Operon Technologies were tested for the assay (OP-A 1-20, OP-I 1-20, OP-Q 1-20, and OP-J 1-5). Thirty-two of these primers yielded 115 highly polymorphic bands. The mean number of usable bands per primer for all the samples was 3.59. The genetic distance values ranged from 0.1498 to 0.6845, and genetic similarity values varied from 0.8609 to 0.5043.

such as a photographic image quality. Furthermore, this can divide the load of data processing into two steps or processes, thus enabling suppressing the reduction of processing speed even if the amount of data to be processed is increased by the increase of printing resolution and ink color types. Several methods have been proposed and implemented; in which data is quantized to several levels of multiple-valued data and then the multiple-valued data is converted to binary data. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 9-46522 describes a method in which a dot arrangement pattern determining the printing or nonprinting of four dots for each 2×2 area is used for one pixel that can have five levels of gradation values, to execute the binarization process. This document also describes a methoda mask pattern synchronize or interfere each other. In addition, if there is such an interference, effects of multi-pass printing for reducing variation and streaks cannot be exhibited sufficiently. Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 5-031922 discloses one method for dealing with the similar kind of problem. This document describes that dots are thinned by using the thinning pattern of the same duty that is not synchronized with the arrangement of the specific gradation value among dot arrangements as a binary image obtained by an area coverage modulation. This can suppress the interference between the dot arrangement pattern composing an image and the mask pattern, thus preventing dots from unevenly being distributed to certain scanning.

because the gate may still be defined by lithography. Double gate and/or surround gate FETs also have been proposed to reduce short channel effects. A double/surround gate FET may include a thin channel that is controlled by both a front gate and a back gate. Short channel effects may be suppressed because the two gates can be effective in terminating drain field lines and preventing the drain potential from impacting the source. Double gate devices may be extended to provide surround gate devices in which the gate wraps around the channel. As shown by computer simulations, in order to effectively suppress the short channel effects in a double gate MOSFET, the channel thickness may need to be as thin as one-half to one-third of the gate length.

However, the lithography actually may be more difficult, because the channel thickness, which may be about one-third of the gate length, generally is lithography-dependent. A vertical replacement gate MOSFET also is described in a publication by Hergenrother et al., entitled The Vertical Replacement-Gate (VRG) MOSFET: A 50-nm Vertical MOSFET With Lithography-Independent Gate Length, IDEM, 1999, p. 75, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. As described in the abstract of Hergenrother et al., the VRG MOSFET is the first MOSFET ever built that combines 1) a gate length controlled precisely through a deposited film thickness, independently of lithography and etch, and 2) a high-quality gate oxide grown on a single-crystal Si channel. In addition to this unique combination,

conformal silicon layer on the sidewall of the trench includes a first end portion adjacent the substrate, a second end portion remote from the substrate, and a middle portion between the first and second end portions. The first and second end portions are doped to form source and drain regions for the field effect transistor. A gate insulating layer is formed adjacent the middle portion and a gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating layer opposite the middle portion. Lining the sidewall of the trench may be performed by lining the sidewall of the trench with amorphous silicon and then crystallizing the amorphous silicon. After lining the sidewall, the trench that is lined may be plugged, using silicon dioxide, high dielectric constant dielectrics and/or other materials. InVariable expression of intermediate filament proteins during embryonic development of human optic nerve. The intermediate filament protein composition of human optic nerve and tract was analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Optic nerves were analyzed at 15, 19, 22, and 24 weeks of embryonic development and the results were compared with the composition of adult optic nerve. The optic tract was analyzed at the later stages of development. The proteins were visualized by Coomassie blue staining and immunoblotting with specific antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin. The 70K and 150K neurofilament proteins were first observed at 24 weeks. At 15 weeks of development, only trace amounts of GFAP were observed and vimentin was the predominant intermediate filament protein. In contrast, there was more than twice as much

above discussion that Relay and Mesh topologies have their own drawbacks in that each relay or mesh terminal needs to have distributed scheduling and routing capability in order to convey information in a multihop manner, which brings complexity to these terminals. Furthermore, the scheduling messages need also to be multihopped, which results in an ineffective use of the medium. An uplink only single-hop relay is described in US2008/0285499. The mobile terminal in this case is agnostic to the relay node, that is it is not aware that its uplink data is being forwarded by the relay node. One characteristic of this transparent operation is that the relay node only transmits towards the base station (eNB), and never to the mobile terminal (UE). This creates some problems.

resized and as it does not use a LayoutManager I had to set the bounds and I struggled to get this to work. A: Normally a panel contains components painted in 2 dimensions so you can just repaint a single component and it won't affect other components. Painting is optimized for this situation. However, when using the OverlayLayout, components are painted in 3 dimensions so painting a single component can affect other components. So you need to remove the optimized painting that is done by default: JPanel main = new JPanel() { @Override public boolean isOptimizedDrawingEnabled() { return false; } }; main.setlayout( new OverlayLayout(main) ); main.add( overlayPanel ); main.add( backgroundPanel ); Or in your case it looksover from zero. OK, from a business standpoint there are three different categories: There are corporations, there are partnerships — both general and limited — and LLCs. Corporations and partnerships come out of English common law. They’re both entities that were imported into the United States. Within the corporate world, for tax purposes, there are two types of corporations: regular corporations, we refer to as C corps, that pay their own tax liability. Then S corporations which are pass-through entities — that is, most of their tax attributes pass through to their owners. So the corporations don’t pay the tax, their owners do. General partnership is a structure where you have one or more persons in charge of the entity that has liability. Limited partnership structure is where limited partners have a limited

role in management and also have limited liability. OK, back to LLCs. LLCs essentially took the attribute of pass-through taxation, where there was no entity-level tax, no corporate-level tax, and then combined that with the liability shield of a corporation. It took the limited partnership and said, ‘What happens if everybody had that liability protection, whether they’re investors or managers?’ Investors and managers? In LLCs, there’s somebody who makes decisions — we call them a manager. And then there are often people that are just investors — we call them members. If it offers the best of both worlds, why wouldn’t every company opt to become an LLC? Certain professions can’t operate as LLCs. For example, in California, you can’t practice law as an LLC, you can’t practice medicine as an LLC, you can’t practice accounting asbenefits me and maybe it benefits the LLC or maybe it doesn’t, but I’m engaged in some form of self-dealing. Then the obligation of good faith and fair dealing kind of comes out of contract law. What Delaware essentially says is — you can waive or eliminate the first two duties: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. You can’t really make the obligation of good faith and fair dealing go away because that’s contract and you’re still dealing with contracts. So oftentimes people want to go to Delaware because they either want to modify the fiduciary duties which — you are limited in doing in California — or they simply want to eliminate them. The last component, the last thing you’ll hear about why people like Delaware law is:

are, and it’s completely open and transparent. Whereas in the U.S. it’s almost the exact opposite. In your experience, what are some nefarious ways people use LLC anonymity to skirt laws and take advantage of loopholes? There are a couple layers of concern. I think the federal government is always worried with respect to money laundering and wire transfers of LLCs because, quite honestly, there’s no public information as to who the real owners are, particularly if it’s a Delaware LLC. So I think there’s always been a concern on their end. Is there anything else that I should be asking about? No, you’re asking good questions.

On a global, world-wide basis, astrology is practiced and performed in a few distinct, but interrelated, methodological forms across the entirety of the world""s peoples. In turn, astrologers ardently study and discuss their subject. Assorted titles are available at most libraries, with many volumes being carried by America""s largest booksellers and computer program vendors. The use of astrology permeates the personal realm as numerous persons and peoples use astrology for diverse purposes and reasons. From xe2x80x9cgetting to knowxe2x80x9d someone, to the decisions shaping nations and business, one hears frequently of the use of astrology by people, from President""s wives to stock selection experts. xe2x80x9cWhat is your sign?xe2x80x9d is a question often heard. But this interest in astrology is undermined by theWestern astrological chart artifacts is only ever exactly 90xc2x0 when the subject""s location is exactly under the path of the ecliptic.

Thirdly, Western astrology books and information sources routinely represent, use or make use of representations, that the physical constellations underlie as foundation and causes of astrological phenomena. Included often are illustrations suggesting the determination of planetary positions from the empirically observable positions of such within the physical constellations ringing the zodiac.

opportunity. In the absence of balanced representation within the subject profile, the Chinese recommendation is to compensate and balance by evocative naming or a marriage or partnership which add vital elements. Chinese astrology describes the animals and elements at play in an individual life and in one""s relationships with others. Each lunar animal sign is given a month of the year, enabling the Western and Eastern zodiac sun sign systems (a tropical year is equinox to equinox) to be connected and reflected in the Chinese astrological form. Each animal year also has two elements: one relating to the specific year and one that is fixed of the animal. The Chinese form is based on a lunar calendar, institutionalized by Emperor Huang Ti, c. 2637 BC. It is an agrarianchange to it, but a visual, non-grid perspective on the ecliptic""s current movement in that region does not necessarily convince one of this need. The use of twelve is the civil calendar standard of months, driven by the seasons, and reflects the long-standing and well-developed lore pursuant to astrological inquiry and understanding. All major forms of astrology utilize a twelve sign convention. Astronomers may have no need to change their ephemerides to reflect precession, as their data needs not bear any astrological significance. It, however, is clear and direct to state, find, understand and imagine the invention""s component data, rather than using the xe2x80x9cfirst point of Ariesxe2x80x9d, which calls that first 30 degree segment of the ecliptic the sign of Aries, though the constellation Pisces is there in reality.

R rectangular one. The property of ecliptic and equatorial coordinate system convergence at the vernal equinox enabled Hipparchus to connect both these systems under the same twelve 30xc2x0 zodiac signs. Also, it enables the amount of general precession at the vernal equinox to be implemented in both systems via the identical, single amount in degrees (30 of 360). This amount elapsed over time, at that position, is relevant to astrological improvement. It allows one simple adjustment factor and value at the vernal equinox. It is estimated and is approached below in a variety of ways. The relation between ecliptic and equatorial coordinates is satisfied by any of several different equalities for any point and at any time, but the simplest for use herein, is their relation characterized as (see, Explanatoryone full zodiac sign, i.e. 30 of 360 degrees, about 29.7xc2x0 precession for 1998 AD, when calculated from 129 BC. As shown in arguments, the general precession can be broken down into its equatorial coordinate components, some 27.3xc2x0 in right ascension and 11.8xc2x0 in declination, or into its ecliptic coordinate components, 29.2xc2x0 in longitude and 0.8xc2x0 in latitude. Arguments also afford calculation to dates somewhat earlier or later than 129 BC. General precession, calculated from 149 BC to present, is 30.0xc2x0. The elapsed general precession can also be estimated using the position of the xe2x80x9cfirst point of Ariesxe2x80x9d stars. The invention""s incremental adjustment is necessary on Western, Eastern and Chinese astrology positions, dates of signs, syndicated and reference data, and for any artifacts, systems or apparatuses.

computer programs, the zodiac ring is effectively rotated 30 degrees back. In the means to this point, the inventor used where required the date, 129 BC, as the date at which the vernal equinox was fixed as Aries 0 degrees by Western, tropical, astrology; this is the date when Hipparchus is to have finished his star catalogue. But, to begin to construct a star catalogue, the origin of the mapping system needed be first set, and as this is the vernal equinox, so, another valid and appropriate date to select for calculations is at the beginning of his cataloguing, by 146 BC. From 146 BC to the new millennium 2000 AD, is 2146 years. Arguments the new millennium begins 2001 AD, is 2147 years. Further, arguments for 147 BC projector earlier as the date setting Aries 0xc2x0. A means used the rate for general precession (0.0139696 degrees per year), to show that at the new millennium, the equinox changes to Aquarius. Another means was determined, based on the xe2x80x9cfirst point of Ariesxe2x80x9d star""s ancient position and its precession in right ascension, also indicating the equinox change to Aquarius at the millennium. Next, precise current position of Mesarthim (Gamma Arietis) was used to determined the historical date at which it was the exact marker of the vernal equinox, being before 146 BC. Finally, using the physically observable zodiac stars in constellation, as determinable from the two-dimensional reproduction found herein, it was shown that the point of the vernal equinox, is in Pisces.

Others, particularly those who consider the admonitions and cosmic progression as revealed in the Apocalypse or Nostrodamus, may aver that before the Messiah appears, a phase of destruction and judgment occurs.

Herds of zebra, antelope and warthog are easy spots among the plains and cliffs, but even small herds of giraffes are found here hiding among the bushes. Unfortunately though, it’s not all good news and experiences at Hell’s Gate National Park.

Maria Beatriz Pasten-Cuzmar was also searched, but the police report did not allege she had any cash on her. In total, authorities seized $22,671 from the flight attendants. Wilson-Ossandon is listed as the main defendant in the criminal complaint, while her fellow flight attendants are listed as co-defendants.

Neddylation and deneddylation regulate Cul1 and Cul3 protein accumulation. Cullin family proteins organize ubiquitin ligase (E3) complexes to target numerous cellular proteins for proteasomal degradation. Neddylation, the process that conjugates the ubiquitin-like polypeptide Nedd8 to the conserved lysines of cullins, is essential for in vivo cullin-organized E3 activities. Deneddylation, which removes the Nedd8 moiety, requires the isopeptidase activity of the COP9 signalosome (CSN). Here we show that in cells deficient for CSN activity, cullin1 (Cul1) and cullin3 (Cul3) proteins are unstable, and that to preserve their normal cellular levels, CSN isopeptidase activity is required. We further show that neddylated Cul1 and Cul3 are unstable - as suggested by the evidence that Nedd8 promotes the instability of both cullins - and that the unneddylatable forms of cullins are stable.

Photocoupling of fibronectin to titanium surfaces influences keratinocyte adhesion, pellicle formation and thrombogenicity. Coating of implant surfaces with biomolecules can influence basic host responses and enhance subsequent tissue integration. The biological factors have to be immobilized on the implant material. Human fibronectin (Fn) was used as a model protein and covalently coupled to titanium (Ti) surfaces via silanization and an anthraquinone linker. The impact on several aspects of initial host/biomaterial interactions (keratinocyte adhesion, platelet interactions and pellicle formation) was studied. Coupling efficiency was characterized by immunological techniques. The effects of coupled Fn on initial host/biomaterial interactions were assessed. Cell adhesion and spreading were investigated by fluorescent staining, pellicle formation by an acoustic sensor system (quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, QCM-D), and platelet adhesion as one parameter mediating the inflammatoryQ: How many bytes will be required to store number in binary and text files respectively If I want to store a number, let's say 56789 in a file, how many bytes will be required to store it in binary and text files respectively?

superb, razor-sharp, excellent contrast, no CA. It has a very functional tripod collar that is easily adjusted (or removed). Mounted on my D300 this lens balances perfectly on a tripod. Since this lens does not have VR, if the camera is handheld this lens won’t consistently achieve the sharpness that it’s capable of delivering. The build quality is remarkable with a very sturdy feel to it. This is a versatile lens, quite handy when travelling (no need to carry around the lens bag.) It delivers sharp pictures for a zoom lens with such a wide range of focal lengths. Auto Focus and the VR function can be turn on or off. It takes great wide angle landscapes, portraits, and even macro shots. The distortion at 18mm is pretty pronouncedeasy to adjust it with a very smooth action at any angle I want pretty quickly. This case fits my Manfrotto tripod perfectly, it is well made, and the padding is sufficiently thick to prevent the tripod from getting dinged up under light to moderate use. Besides the protection and storage, using the case is frees up my hands to carry other gear and has a pocket for small accessories.

that he called [*monocyclic*]{}, in which all motions were periodic and in a sense nondegenerate, one could give appropriate names, familiar in macroscopic thermodynamics, to various mechanical averages and then check that they verified the relations that would be expected between thermodynamic quantities with the same name. Helmoltz’ assumptions about monocyclicity are very strong and I do not see them satisfied other than in confined one dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Here is an example of Helmotlz’ reasoning (as reported by Boltzmann). Consider a $1$–dimensional system with potential $\varphi(x)$ such that $|\varphi'(x)|>0$ for $|x|>0$, $\varphi''(0)>0$ and $\varphi(x)\,\, {\vtop{\ialign{#\crcr\rightarrowfill\crcr \noalign{\kern0pt\nointerlineskip}\hglue3.pt${\scriptstyle {x\to\infty}}$\hglue3.pt\crcr}}}\,\,+\infty$ (in other words a $1$–dimensional system in a confining potential). There is only one motion per energy value (up to a shift of the initial datum along its trajectory) and all motions are periodic soand chaotic states was made by Ruelle in talks and eventually written down in papers[@[R1]]. The proposal is very ambitious as it suggests a [*general and essentially unrestricted*]{} answer to which should be the ensemble that describes stationary states of a system, [*whether in equilibrium or not*]{}. The ergodic hypothesis led Boltzmann to the general theory of ensembles (as acknowledged by Gibbs, whose work has been perhaps the main channel through which the allegedly obscure works of Boltzmann reached us): besides giving the second law, Eq.(\[1.1\]), it also prescribed the microcanonical ensemble for describing equilibrium statistics. The reasoning of Ruelle was that from the theory of simple chaotic systems one knew that such systems, for the simple fact that they are chaotic, will reach a “unique” stationary state. Therefore simply assuming

key to find applications is that the apparently inconsequential hypothesis that the system is Anosov provides us not only with an existence theorem of the SRB distribution $\mu$ but [*also*]{} with an explicit expression for it. How explicit? as we shall see not too far from what we are used to in equilibrium statistical mechanics ([*eg*]{} $\mu=e^{-\beta H}$): where apparently unmanageable expressions and hopeless integrals have important and beautiful applications in spite of their obvious non computability. The expression is the following: there is a partition of phase space into cells $E_1,E_2,\ldots$ which in a sense that I do not specify here[@[G1]] is “[*covariant*]{}” with respect to time evolution and to the other symmetries of the system (if any: think of parity or time reversal) such that the average[*ie*]{} that there is an isometry of phase space $I$ that anticommutes with the evolution: $IS=S^{-1}I$. Then: $$\frac{\pi_\tau(p)}{\pi_\tau(-p)}=\frac {\sum_{E_i; p}\Lambda_{u,T}^{-1}(x_i)} {\sum_{E_i; -p}\Lambda_{u,T}^{-1}(x_i)}\label{3.2}$$ where the sum in the numerator extends over the cells $E_i$ in which the total dimensionless volume contraction rate is $p$ anf the sum in the denominator over those with contraction rate $-p$. Here we take $T=\tau$ for the purpose of a partial illustration: this is [*not*]{} allowed and in a sense it is the [*only*]{} difficulty in the discussion. But taking $T=\tau$ conveys some of the main ideas. If this “interchange of limits” is done then one simply remarks that the sum in the denominator of Eq.(\[3.2\]) can be performed over the same cells as that in the numerator, provided we evaluate the weight in the denominator at the point

Hormonal and seminal evaluation of Leydig cell tumour patients before and after orchiectomy. Seven patients (aged 25-38 years) were admitted because of mono- or bilateral gynaecomastia. Plasma levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, testosterone, 17-beta-estradiol, delta4-androstenedione, dehydropiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) and 17-OH-progesterone were determined and semen analysis was carried out. FSH and LH levels were also measured after acute LH-RH administration (100 microg intravenously), and testosterone and 17-beta-estradiol were also evaluated after acute human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) administration (5000 IU intramuscularly). Testicular echography demonstrated the presence of a solid hypoechoic tumour. Therefore all patients were submitted to hemicastration by orchidofuniculotomy and a benign Leydig cell tumour was diagnosed in the removed testes.

Proximal humeral fractures treated with arthroplasty continue to be challenging for the orthopedic surgeon.

Armed with the next-to-last selection in the first round of the NBA Draft later this month, and given some experts don't believe in the depth of this year's crop of players, if the Nets don't trade up they are faced with the prospect of hoping one of their higher-rated players falls into their lap. Otherwise, it's likely slim pickings, which is a result of the Joe Johnson trade in 2012. With the Hawks exercising their right to swap first-round selections with the Nets this year, the Nets will pick 29th instead of 15th on June 25, meaning many of their top targets may be off the board when general manager Billy King makes the final decision. They also have a second-round selection at No. 41 overall.

Nature of Cd and Hg effects on epithelial amino acid transport in vivo and role of chelators. This paper deals with amino acid transport by renal and intestinal epithelium in vivo and contrasts the inhibitory effects of Hg, known for its ability to react with and inhibit function of cell membranes, with those of Cd2+. The metals were injected intravascularly as Hg-EDTA and Cd-mercaptoethanol, forms in which they are not sequestered by plasma protein but still able to react with the relatively high affinity binding sites on cell membranes, and consequently to be taken up into cells. Under these conditions, Hg rapidly depressed basolateral amino acid transport; in contrast, no overt effect of Cd was seen for at least 6 h. Similarly, and in absence of exogenous chelators, Hgspinal cord was evaluated using light microscopy and immunochemistry with anti-NeuN and transferase dUTP nick-end-labeling (TUNEL) staining. Animals treated with the association of riluzole and dantrolene showed a larger number of NeuN-positive neurons adjacent to the epicenter of injury (p≤.05). Furthermore, the TUNEL staining was similar between animals treated with riluzole and dantrolene and those that did not receive spinal cord trauma (p>.05). These results showed that riluzole and dantrolene have a synergistic effect in neuroprotection after traumatic SCI by decreasing apoptotic cell death.

Then there is some finite index subgroup $H$ of $G$ such that $A$ is a union of cosets of $H$. If $n$ is the index of $H$, and $m$ is the number of cosets in the union, then define $\mu(A)=m/n$. It can be directly checked that $\mu$ is well-defined. Moreover, if $C$ is a coset of subgroup of index $n<\infty$, then $\mu(C)=1/n$ by construction. Note that $\mu$ is also translation-invariant. Now one can (non-uniquely) extend $\mu$ to some finitely additive measure on $\mathcal{P}(G)$ (which won't be translation-invariant necessarily). I believe this follows from Section 457 of Fremlin's "Measure Theory". Specifically, any finitely additive probability measure on a Booleanelse based on his postseason performance ...

If the Skins go with the Manning route, it's entirely possible they can lure other free-agent wideouts into town. Either way, reports indicate they want to get a "high-profile wide receiver" and that's a good thing. Pairing Manning or RG3 with a viable wideout could make this offense explosive in 2012.Offensive Line: Washington's set at several slots on the front, but could use an upgrade on the right side, where Jamaal Brown in particular has not been as good as they'd hoped.TargetsManning's the main target here. If they can't get Peyton, then the Skins have to get RG3. Both are attainable, it's just whether or not the cost is prohibitive. Vincentrunning back Ahmad Bradshaw was not so impressed. Bradshaw, coming off his game-winning Super Bowl XLVI touchdown, was asked on the NFL Network if the Cowboys could ever win a Super Bowl with Romo as the starting quarterback. Bradshaw, predictably, doesn’t believe in Romo. “It all comes in together. If the fans don’t believe it, the team doesn’t. They’re kinda doubtful with Romo.” While I'm not sure Bradshaw's reasoning makes sense (since when do players care what fans think about their teammates?), this also isn’t the first time this year a Giants running back has criticized Romo. You might recall Brandon Jacobs saying this in October: “[Eli Manning] is definitely a 100 percent better quarterback than Tony Romo. No question.” Also criticizing Romo this year?

(For my money, if you own an NFL team and preside as GM and the guy you're paying a lot of money to play quarterback gets hurt and the outcome of the game is rendered irrelevant, you can communicate with your coach in any manner you want. Call, write, send a carrier pigeon, record a message on the Cowboys Stadium Jumbotron. Whatever. It's your cash.) Some folks believe Jones would consider taking a different route if Jeff Fisher is readily available and willing to come to Dallas, but does that really accomplish what Jerry wants (read: stability and success) in 2012?

Websites receiving a lot more inbound one-way links, or stronger hyperlinks, are presumed to become far more significant and exactly what the person is searching for.

Normally, when Google just isn't primary inside of a provided sector, it really is lagging powering a local player. Serps may possibly penalize web sites they find making use of black hat strategies, possibly by decreasing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. These types of penalties is often utilized both mechanically by the various search engines' algorithms, or by a guide web page critique.

case of two spheres, where the force is attractive[@lek1]. In [@paf2; @mac2; @JAP] it is discussed in an elementary way how this different behavior depends on the difference between the quadrupole-like charge distribution present for discs and the polarizability effect in the case of spheres, and absent for flat discs. The case of planar discs has a mathematical interest but for physical applications it is important to investigate the forces in the realistic case of non-zero thickness. In this paper we found that the force presents a great variety of behaviors, depending on the distance, the thickness and the ratio of the two charges, $Q_1/Q_2$. One or more equilibrium points can appear and some of them can be stable. A repulsive force is obtained at short distance in a$\lambda= k z$. The resulting field, at $z\sim 0$ is $$\int_{-h}^h dz \,{k \, z} \dfrac{z}{(a^2+ z^2)^{3/2}}\simeq 2 k \log(L/a)$$ This field must cancel the external field ${\cal E}$, then we obtain $k = {\cal E}/(2 \log(L/a)$. Computing the resulting induced dipole we find the polarizablity d = \_[-h]{}\^h (k z) z dz = 1[24]{} [E]{} ;1[24]{} \[stima3\]These three estimates, (\[stima1\],\[stima2\],\[stima3\]) must be obviously reproduced by our computations, both numerical and analytical. We remembered here these elementary facts to show that the physics beyond the formulas is quite clear. We performed a computation using Galerkin method on a quite large range of distances $x = 5\times 10^{-6}$ to $x=500$, spanned with 155 values for $x$.

again the agreement and we chose to work with the analytical version in order to avoid any possible numerical error induced by the computation of integrals. When necessary all special functions appearing in the matrix elements have been computed with high precision arithmetic using the software @Mathematica[@math]. Finally we have to choose the parameters $s, p$ appearing in the expansions in Gegenbauer polynomials and Jacobi polynomials. In principle the choice is arbitrary but clearly the best choice is the one which reproduces the correct edge behavior for the charge densities. For flat surfaces, i.e. hollow cylinder and discs, this means $s=0, p=1/2$ respectively, while for the whole cylinder the boundaries meet at an angle of $\pi/2$ and the expected singular is reproduced with the couple $(s=1/6, p=2/3)$. We havea *wrong* subleading constant term. The naïve expectation that the correction term gives the correct answer fails as the sum of leading asymptotic terms diverges. We have found no easy way to compute the known $\log\pi$ constant in . Hollow cylinder --------------- This is one of the most studied systems in electrostatics. An important work on this topic goes back to Kapitza et al.[@Kap] where the basis for an analytical work is first proposed. Approximate formulas for the capacity has been developed in [@vain1; @vain2] and subsequently rediscovered and reworked in [@jack1]. In our approach we have to solve the by now familiar kind of system of linear equations $$\sum_j {\cal M}_{ij} a_j = t_s \delta_{i1}$$ where the matrix ${\cal M}$ is given in , with $s=0$, to satisfy the correct

Formulas , give a complete answer to the question 1) stated above in the most interesting case of small $\tau$, because the behavior for $\tau\to 0$ has been justified analytically in the discussion on $B(\tau)$ in the previous section. In particular, as was physically expected from the result for two flat discs, given an arbitrary ratio $R$, defined in , it always exists a small enough $\tau$ such that the nearly-contact force is repulsive, for equal electrodes. An interesting special case must be noticed. If a charged disc approaches an equal uncharged disc, i.e. $R=1$, from follows that the two discs repel if $\tau<0.037$ and attract if $\tau>0.037$. The fact thatdepends on two parameters, the ratio of the two charges and the thickness: the two regimes are separated by a critical line. Secondly as the thickness changes the dependence of the force on distance shows different qualitative behaviors, in general is not monotonic and one or more equilibrium positions can appear. We think that these conclusions can have some importance in the physics of NEMS and in general in the control of the phenomena related to two close conductors. From the theoretical side probably the most relevant results are the necessity of a correction to the classical Kirchhoff approximation for circular capacitors and an explicit check of the relevance of quadrupole and polarizability in the long distance behavior of the capacity coefficients. The method can have different applications and, as

In the second patient, the left coronary ostial height was 15.1 mm (lower than the right) and was considered to be a safe distance (Fig. [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}a). Angiography showed that the patency of the cornary arteries were good before stent implantation (Fig. [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"}b). In other investigations \[[@CR15]\], it was pointed out that if the coronary ostial height is shorter than the coronary cusp length, it could also increase the risk of coronary occlusion, which was thought to be the cause of death in the second patient.

atmospheric/dark plot. No flat characters; artwork puts emphasis on expressions and backgrounds. Facial features look rather undetailed though. Emotionally, I don't feel very positively about the show. It's probably been a considerable amount of time since I finished the series (maybe a year ago.) Perhaps my recollection of the series is vague. I'm going by what my gut tells me. I can articulate some, how I feel about the show, and what I actually remember: The main character, Lelouch, is a super intelligent lead character. First, that's one of my disconcersions with this show. I don't think that having an intelligent lead character makes the series intelligent. I feel allusions of intelligence through complicated plot twists and plain, yet intelligent characters. The characters feel impersonal. As if i'm supposed towas confusing the shit out of me. It has a really good atmosphere, unsettling and tense all the time, with the overwhelmingly bright environments contrasted with those strange shadows, the soudntrack of static noises and hard electronica doing a good job of giving that "cyberpunk" feel. It deals with some pretty interesting subjects, it's interesting to see how the Wired parallels to the internet nowadays, specially considering this anime was made in the 90's. This is one of these shows that I'll have to watch again to really "get" it I'm almost finishing Mushishi, and I can safely say this is one of the best animes I've ever watched.

They chatted about Cuban human rights and the failed nomination of John Tower, Bush’s father’s pick for defense secretary.

The deal became notorious because of allegations, outlined in thousands of pages of court documents, that the transaction had been greased through massive bribes to Nigerian officials paid for by American taxpayer money loaned through the US Export-Import Bank. The deal triggered a federal criminal investigation, as well as nearly two decades of civil litigation by the US Department of Justice that in 2013 resulted in a federal jury finding that the water pump company, MWI Corp., had defrauded the federal government of millions of dollars.

The proposed changes --- especially the “liberalization” of defence offsets into fields like civil aviation and homeland security --- would nullify the very rationale of a defence offset policy, which is to direct foreign money and know-how into India’s nascent defence industry by leveraging our position as a major buyer in the global arms bazaar. Global arms corporations quite predictably resist investing in another countries’ defence industries: this builds up potential competitors; involves the painstaking and commercially risky task of identifying local partners; it transfers jobs overseas; defence remains a highly regulated field; and there are obvious strategic reasons as well. And so global arms corporations have a persuasive counter-argument that portrays offsets as unscrupulous commercial arm-twisting, which is

be matched with prospective platform development requirements. Offsets could then be directed to fill the gaps. This would involve an enormous MoD mind shift from its current approach towards offsets where a man-and-a-dog DOFA plays passing-the-offsets-parcel with an equally reluctant Acquisitions Wing, both hoping that when the music stops the other will be left holding the responsibility for offsets. The need for an activist and empowered DOFA has been understood by industry, if not by the MoD. The CII and FICCI had earlier pledged Rs 25 lakhs each to set up a DOFA secretariat at Pragati Maidan, which could monitor and account for the tens of thousands of crores worth of offsets that lay ahead. But, with trust in short supply, the MoD felt that the companies that wouldcapita. The book’s heavy reliance on information from the Indian media, traditionally hostile to the Defence R&D Organisation (DRDO), has generated an indiscriminate condemnation of indigenous research efforts. Much of this is outdated at the time of publishing, having been superseded by structural reform within the DRDO and by the turnaround success of major projects like the Arjun tank and the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. Despite its drawbacks, Arming without Aiming is worth reading as an interrogation of the central crises in India’s military system.

When prior sexual misconduct evidence is offered concerning the defendant and someone other than the complainant under Rule 404(b),[5] this Court has indicated that those prior instances must be "nonremote" and "similar" to the charged offense to be admissible.

We note first that the trial justice could not have refused to give an instruction on the lesser-included offense of simple assault based solely upon defendant's failure to submit written requests for jury instructions. Rule 30 of the Superior Court Rules of Criminal Procedure says that a party "may" file written requests for jury instructions and only requires written requests if the defendant relies upon an affirmative defense and wishes the court to instruct the jury concerning such defense. *630 Rule 30 goes on to indicate that a party's timely objection to the trial justice's failure to give a particular instruction isMotyka, 893 A.2d 267, 284 (R.I.2006). This means that "some minimal evidence exists that, if credited by the jury, could support a conviction for the lesser-included offense." Id. (quoting State v. McGuy, 841 A.2d 1109, 1112 (R.I.2003)). However, the trial justice is not required to instruct the jury on a lesser-included offense when there is no dispute as to the essential element that distinguishes the lesser and greater offenses.

A teenage boy is recovering in hospital after suffering serious injuries and possible permanent damage to his eye while playing the popular “Duct tape challenge”. Fourteen-year-old Skylar Fish suffered severe head injuries, a brain aneurysm and damage to his eye socket after his attempt at the challenge went awry. He has been recovering in hospital since 16 January. The “challenge” involves a person wrapping someone in duct tape who is then filmed trying to escape. Some videos uploaded to YouTube showing people attempting the challenge have millions of views. Skylar, who had played the game before with school friends, decided to undertake the challenge again while at Renton Academy in Washington. A fall during the challenge crushed Skylar's eye socket and caused him to suffer a brain aneurysm Facebook (Siemny Kim/ Facebook) HisA modified technique to treat subdural hematomas: the subdural evacuating port system. The Subdural Evacuating Port System (SEPS) is intended for drainage of subdural fluid collections such as hygromas and hematomas. Unlike other subdural fluid drainage systems, no drain is placed in the subdural space. This paper describes the technique and reports our experience thus far. We treated 20 patients for 22 subdural hematomas. One or two ports were inserted for drainage of each subdural collection. Follow-up ranged from six to 24 months. Follow-up CT obtained at approximately one month postprocedure showed complete or near complete resolution of 18 of the subdural collections. Failure of the SEPS was noted in four patients and was related to plugging of the drainage system by clots secondary to the presence of fresh

improvement in corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, such techniques as described above suffer from high manufacturing costs and generation of defects such as pin holes, which leads to low practicability. Japanese Patent Application Publication Nos. 2003-276249 and 2003-272653 disclose techniques of plating a very thin film of gold on a metal separator for cost reduction. However, these techniques have problems in that there is a high possibility of corrosion related to pin holes caused by hydrogen generated during the gold coating, and that although gold is thinly coated thereon, it is still expensive compared to other wet coating. PCT WO99/19927 discloses a technique in which relatively inexpensive carbon powder is dispersed on the surface of a metal separator, and spreads into a passive film of the separator through rolling andon the surface of the separator through high temperature nitridation of titanium. PCT WO2005/124913 A1 discloses a method, by which a thin Ti plate is formed with gas and coolant paths by pressing, and is subjected to sputtering and plasma nitriding treatment in a reducing gas atmosphere to form a nitrogen diffusion layer on the surface of the separator. However these prior techniques have difficulty with commercialization due to low productivity resulting from use of expensive Ti material and the vacuum process.

However, the precipitation decreases severely in the previous year, and the percentage of positive anomaly in air temperature and sunshine duration are 4.13% and 5.94%, respectively. This warm-drying climate change is not conducive to vegetation growth and may affect the NDVI of the next year's vegetation growing season. The NDVI values in the growing season of the study area in 2014 and 2015 are both low, but the causes of this result are different. The hydrothermal conditions in 2014 shows that precipitation increased sharply and sunshine duration reduce significantly when air temperature and relative humidity do not change much. This phenomenon leads to suppression of vegetation growth. In 2015, the NDVIin the Growing Season {#sec3dot3-ijerph-16-03452} ----------------------------------------------------------- From the periods of 2001--2011, 2001--2012, \..., 2001--2017, the proportion of area showing different NDVI variation trends in the growing season of TP tells that areas where NDVI values showing an increasing trend do not display a visible trend as the study period prolongs. In terms of all periods in the growing season, areas with increasing trend of NDVI values are larger than those with decreasing trend, and the areas with extremely significant increasing trend are also larger than those with significant reduction trend. Areas with extremely significant reduction trend of NDVI value in the growing season show an obvious trend, and the growth rate is greater than that of the extremely significant increase area ([Figure 6](#ijerph-16-03452-f006){ref-type="fig"}).

The low-value (\<0.613) area is mainly distributed at the junction of Tibet, Sichuan and Qinghai, and the vegetation types are mainly meadows and shrubs. The GRD of the low altitude area is 0.632, the middle altitude 0.627, the high altitude 0.608, and the extremely high altitude 0.621 ([Figure 9](#ijerph-16-03452-f009){ref-type="fig"}). On the whole, with the increase of altitude, the GRD between NDVI and mean air temperature shows a downward trend. When the altitude ranges from middle to high, the GRD drops sharply to 0.608, but roses to 0.621 at extremely high altitude, indicating that the correlation between NDVI and air temperature is higher at extremely high-altitude, mid-altitude and low-altitudehigh altitude does not reduce with the dramatic change of altitude. The GRD between NDVI and climatic factors in the growing season of TP is significantly different. The GRD between NDVI and air temperature is the highest (0.632) in the low-altitude area, and the lowest (0.608) in the high-altitude area; the GRD with the sunshine duration is the highest (0.703) in the low-altitude area, and the lowest (0.626) in the extremely high-altitude area; the GRD with relative humidity is the highest (0.623) in the middle-altitude area and the lowest (0.612) in the high-altitude area; the GRD with precipitation is the highest (0.625) in the extremely high-altitude area and the lowest (0.588) in the low-altitude area.

Q: Finding the closest value from a list? I have a list of strings: list = ["END_BOOTS", "END_CHEST", "MIDAS_SWORD", "SLIME_HAT", "WOOD", "ENDER_PEARL"] and a keyword: keyword = "ENDER_BOOTS" I need to scan the list to search for a value that is the closest to the keyword. In this case the closest value would be END_BOOTS. In case when such value can not be found, the code should return false. I've tried turning each individual value into a list of characters, sorting it and doing the same to the keyword. After I would compare them and check which list of characters has more common letters with the keyword. However that doesn't seem to work very well and it is not very efficient.

Abstract The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations body which administers the international regulatory regime for shipping, noted the negative impact of non-indigenous organisms transported in the ballast water of ships already in the early 1970s. Consequently, measures were taken with the aim to minimize ballast water mediated species invasions through IMO Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) Resolutions. As a result of long-term IMO efforts, it was determined that an international convention would best meet the needs of the global community, hence the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments was adopted in a Diplomatic Conference in 2004 and is now open for signature by IMO Member States. This very complex (and by no means “simple”) Convention aims to reduce the transferand subsequent impact of aquatic organisms in the ballast water and sediment of ships by acting to reduce the load of these organisms in discharged ballast water. A set of 15 guidelines provides technical guidance for the implementation of the Convention principles. This review considers critical aspects of this Convention and selected guidelines seen from perspectives of biological, shipping and regulatory concerns.

Development of artificial and autonomous nanomachines is a topic of great interest with significant impact in numerous engineering applications, such as nano- and micro-electromechanical systems, fluid pumping, chemical sensing, particle assembly, drug delivery, and nanophotonics.^[@ref1]−[@ref12]^ The use of light to control motion is very attractive given its fast switchable capabilities. Mechanically interlocked molecular architectures based on rotaxanes and catenanes represent pioneer systems on which UV-light-driven motion has been probed.^[@ref13]−[@ref17]^ These systems are synthesized with precisely tailored structures and functions to act as rotors, gears, switches, and shuttles. There has been considerable effort to demonstrate that these molecular motors can perform large-scale and useful mechanical work based on the cumulative nanoscale movement of molecular machine assemblies. This includes the macroscale transport of liquids onto surfaces modified with UV-light-driven molecularconcentration gradients of interacting active motors, which promote their communication and cooperation in a similar way as nature does in the processes of chemotaxis and phototaxis. Photochemically induced motion of particles has also been generated through other mechanisms such as bubble recoil. For instance, liquid metal droplets coated with WO~3~ nanoparticles exhibit motion when placed in H~2~O~2~ solution and under UV illumination.^[@ref32]^ The photoreaction generates oxygen bubbles that propel the metal droplet. Many motors powered by UV light degrade with time, which limits their lifetime.^[@ref23],[@ref24],[@ref27]^ For instance, the actuation mechanism of Ag-based motors is based on their own photocorrosion. Moreover, there are other systems that can also suffer surface degradation by the combined effect of the high-energy wavelengths and the chemical fuel. An interesting alternative to UV propulsion has

Indeed, the diffusio-osmosis process could lead to the motion of particles even in the presence of an electrical insulator placed between the metal and the silicon due to the non-electrochemical decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on Pt (2H~2~O~2~ → 2H~2~O + O~2~);^[@ref39]^ the asymmetrical distribution of the concentration of neutral chemical species produced by such reactions could actuate the fluid flow.^[@ref40]^ Since this is not the case, we can consider that the actuation is solely based on electro-osmosis. This result is important regarding the growing debate on the nature of the propulsion of Janus particles. Neutral self-diffusiophoresis was first proposed to be the main mechanism behind the propulsion of Janus particlesthe actuation, we performed experiments at different light intensities and frequencies. [Figure [3](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}](#fig3){ref-type="fig"}c shows the motion of positively charged particles for two different illumination intensities.

We also checked the response of p-doped Si/Pt pumps for different excitation wavelengths, 405, 488, 561, and 633 nm.
