quite clear that they will not publish Team Bondi’s next game. Team Bondi are trying to find another publisher for their next title, but the relationship with Rockstar has been badly damaged – Brendan treats L.A. Noire like a success due to his vision but I think Rockstar are the ones who saved the project. They continued to sink money into LA Noire, and their marketing was fantastic. Without their continued support, Team Bondi would have gone under several years ago.” “Rockstar also made a huge contribution to the development; their producers were increasingly influential over the last two years of the game’s development, and overruled many of the insane decisions made by Team Bondi management. At a lower level, Rockstar also pitched in with programmers, animators, artists, QA,who first appears in Marvel UK’s Marvel Super-Heroes #387 in July 1982, only to be killed soon thereafter; 4: A republication and continuation of #2 who had his name changed to Miracleman, first appearing as such in Eclipse Comics’ Miracleman #1 in August 1985; 5: The Mike Moran who has a brief cameo appearance on the last page of Image’s Hellspawn #6 in February 2001, who was due to fully debut as Miracleman in Hellspawn #13, but never did; 6: There’s a possible sixth version, depending on what it is that Marvel Comics are planning for the version of Marvelman they appear to own – for the moment, this appears to be version #1, as listed here, but it’s possible they may create their own separate version of the character, based

take over from his predecessor, even picking up the numbering of the comic Captain Marvel was vacating. Actually, Marvelman was less created than adapted, an older character made over into a newer one by the utterance of a magic word, somewhere halfway between Shazam! and Kimota! – Shimota!, perhaps, or Kazam! The name was changed, the costume was changed, the magic word was changed, but underneath all that Marvelman was still much more like than unlike Captain Marvel. However, Fawcett Publications had not objected to Marvelman in the 1950s, apparently because they were complicit in his creation, according to Arnold Miller, so again the chance to claim that Captain Marvel had been copied may now have expired. Fawcett Publications no longer exists, with various bits having been boughtsides to suggest that Don Lawrence was one of those people. According to Don Lawrence, the material that Mick Anglo supplied, which was produced in his Gower Street Studio, was often not just drawn but also written by artists like himself, with Anglo overseeing the operation. So, at that point, who owned the copyright to Marvelman, and to the individual work produced? What everybody agrees on is that the Millers replaced Captain Marvel with Marvelman, starting with issue #25 in February 1954, using material supplied by Mick Anglo’s Gower Street Studio. All of the comics that Miller produced carried a standard copyright notice to the effect that all stories and illustrations were the copyright of the publisher. That publisher was L Miller, of course. Although there is not a specific

to end up owning the rights to a set of characters that was created at the behest of a publisher he was already doing work for on a work-for-hire basis, none of which other work is claimed as his. Fawcett, meanwhile, may or may not have had a hand in the creation of Marvelman, but they couldn’t exactly turn around and claim the character as their own, as that would mean they were acknowledging that they were in direct breach of their agreement not to publish any Captain Marvel material. It seems to me that, at that time, the only copyright notice that has any legal bearing on the character, and indeed the only one that actually existed, is the one claiming those rights for the publisher, Ldude."

phase [@Majumdar-Ghosh; @Tonegawa-zigzag; @Okamoto-zigzag; @White-zigzag]. In the dimer phase, neighboring spins form a valence bond to gain the local magnetic energy, while the correlation among the valence bonds is weakened to suppress the effect of spin frustration. Another important ingredient in actual materials is $orbital$ degree of freedom, when electrons partially fill degenerate orbitals, as frequently observed in $d$- and $f$-electron compounds. In such a system, the interplay of spin and orbital degrees of freedom yields the possibility of orbital ordering. It is an intriguing issue to clarify the influence of orbital ordering on magnetic properties in geometrically frustrated systems. In fact, significance of $t_{\rm 2g}$-orbital degree of freedom has been discussed to understand the mechanism of two phase transitions in spinel vanadium oxides $A$V$_2$O$_4$ ($A$=Zn, Mg, and Cd)distortion is explicitly taken into account. It is a highly non-trivial issue whether such an orbital arrangement actually describes the low-energy physics of geometrically frustrated systems. In particular, it is quite important to clarify how the orbital-arranged background is intrinsically stabilized through the spin-orbital correlation even without the electron-lattice coupling. In this Letter, we investigate both ground- and excited-state properties of the $e_{\rm g}$-orbital degenerate Hubbard model on a ladder and a zigzag chain (see Fig. 1) by exploiting numerical techniques. In the ladder, ferro-orbital ordering occurs, but the spin correlation on the rung remains finite in a paramagnetic (PM) ground state. On the other hand, the zigzag chain is found to be decoupled to a double chain in the ground state, while in the first spin-excited state, we find

is emphasized here that the orbital arrangement is unchanged even in the spin-excited state. We envisage that the orbital degree of freedom spontaneously becomes “dead” in low-energy states to suppress the effect of spin frustration. Consider now the effect of $J$ on the spin-orbital structure in the PM ground state. It is useful to show the results for 8-site system with the periodic boundary condition obtained by the Lanczos method in addition to a few DMRG results for $N$=40. In Fig. 3(c), we depict the angle $\theta$ representing the orbital structure, where $\theta$ is the optimal angle taking the same value at all sites. In the ladder, $\theta$ decreases with the increase of $J$, indicating that the orbital shape is changed to further extend to the rung direction. Note thatthe spin-exchange interactions. For the zigzag chain described by the Hubbard model composed of 3$x^2$$-$$r^2$ orbital, since the orbital shape extends along the double chain, not along the zigzag path, the AFM exchange interaction along the $u$ direction $J_1$ should be much weaker than that along the $x$ direction $J_2$, estimated as $J_1/J_2$=$1/64^2$ [@note1]. Namely, the spin correlation on the zigzag path is reduced due to the spatial anisotropy of 3$x^2$$-$$r^2$ orbital. Thus, the zigzag chain is effectively regarded as a double-chain system of the $S$=1/2 AFM Heisenberg chain. Concerning the low-energy physics, it is intuitively expected that the spin gap should be extremely suppressed, since the spin gap decreases exponentially with the increase of $J_2/J_1$ in the gapped dimer phase in the zigzag spin chain [@White-zigzag].

Introduction {#s0010} ============ Although the term 'One Health' is fairly new, the concept has long been recognized nationally, regionally, and globally by many pioneers in public health and veterinary medicine. Since the 1800s, scientists have noted the similarity in disease processes among animals and humans, although human and animal medicines have been practiced separately until the twentieth century. In recent years, through the support of key individuals and vital events, the One Health concept has gained more recognition in the public health and animal health communities than ever before ([@bib3]; [@bib1]; [@bib12]; [@bib8]; [@bib4]; [@bib11]; [@bib7]). Background to One Health {#s0015} ======================== One Health is a conceptual extension of traditional public health thinking, approaches, and methodologies because it expands public health to link human, animal, and wildlife health with the environment to addressthe risks of global pandemics of emerging and reemerging diseases, such as Ebola and SARS. The Congo River/Forest Basin has been shown to be one of the 'hot spots' for emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. For example, in the recent past in Uganda alone, there have been outbreaks of Ebola, yellow fever, and anthrax. The Health Alliance, an existing network of six schools of public health from six countries in this hot spot (Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia) worked to strengthen public health education and systems, including emergency preparedness and response. After collaborating across universities (with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) support) for 5 years, the Health Alliance, recognizing that 60% of new, emerging, or reemerging diseases have animal origins,

regionally and globally. Recently, the unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa triggered a crisis that, for a period, seemed to evade effective national and international response, with catastrophic results for human health and well-being, food security, and economic prosperity ([@bib10]). In 2005--06, facing the threat of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, most African countries established multisectoral committees to help address the threat. When that threat was under control worldwide -- and the disease-specific funding that supported these structures diminished or disappeared -- these committees disbanded. Recent outbreak experiences, especially with avian influenza, have spurred increasing recognition of the importance of an ongoing multisectorial effort to proactively address pandemic threats. A One Health approach has been internationally endorsed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), theavailable within the EPT program, OHCEA quickly became engaged with OHW strengthening in the participating countries. With the formation of OHCEA the total number of schools was expanded to 14 (7 being from the public health area and 7 from the veterinary area) spread into six countries from Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, DRC, and Rwanda. The US partners in the OHCEA network are the University of Minnesota and Tufts University as strategic partners. OHCEA became a registered legal entity in Uganda with a secretariat based in Kampala, Uganda, and worked with it to found Country Coordinating Committees, as well as complete OHCEA\'s initial scopes of work, including conducting a gap analysis in each participating country, finalizing reporting policies and procedures for a 10-year strategic plan, and mapping programmatic resources

develop appropriate training curricula for both preservice and in-service personnel. OHCEA Vision and Mission {#s0035} ======================== The OHCEA network plans to be a global leader in One Health, promoting sustainable health for prosperous communities, productive animals, and balanced ecosystems. To achieve this vision, OHCEA will conduct multidisciplinary research, training, and community service to drive continuous improvement of health and well-being of humans, animals, and ecosystems. Accordingly, the mission of the OHCEA is to drive transformational change for continuous improvement of health and well-being of humans, animals, and ecosystems through multidisciplinary research, training, and community service ([@bib7]). To become a global leader in One Health, OHCEA seeks to "expand the human resource base needed to detect and respond to potential pandemic disease outbreaks, and increase integration of animal, wildlife and human disease surveillanceinitiating the EPT program by USAID, which is supporting OHCEA to achieve its mission ([@bib13],[@bib14]; [@bib9]). Expected Impact {#s0040} =============== Tomorrow\'s health professionals must collaborate across disciplines and employ One Health approaches to produce simultaneous gains in human, domestic animal, wildlife, and environmental health. Using effective cross-disciplinary collaboration will also create the potential for a multiplier effect of the efficiency and effectiveness of health interventions. However, few academic or training institutions offer capacity building programs that truly cross disciplinary boundaries, and at present, no institution in the Congo Basin 'hot spot' region is addressing this critical lack of capacity in the public health workforce. Therefore, the Health Alliance served as an ideal platform for institutionalizing the One Health approach by forming the new OHCEA network with a mandate to be a global

It is as if the canvas on which the painting is being executed is so large and the subjects so numerous that one cannot quite make out what the painting is of. There is not enough “useful repetition” to allow the words to sink in deeply and remain in the heart, rather than passing in one ear and out the other. As a friend of mine likes to say, education involves cutting the groove many times until a lasting mark is left.

Some sensors and other components of spacecraft and aircraft must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures of about 77° K or less to function properly. A number of approaches are available to perform this cooling, including thermal contact to liquefied gases and cryogenic refrigerators, usually termed cryocoolers. The use of a liquefied gas is ordinarily limited to short-term missions. Cryocoolers typically function by the expansion of a gas, which absorbs heat from the surroundings. Intermediate temperatures in the cooled component may be reached using a single-stage expansion. To reach colder temperatures required for the operation of some sensors, such as about 40° K or less, a multiple-stage expansion cooler is often preferred. The present invention is concerned with applications requiring continuous cooling to such very low temperatures over extendedWendy said she heard the elder Wesley tell her husband to call 9-1-1.

Inflammation of the appendix is one of the most common conditions requiring emergent surgical intervention. Computed tomography commonly demonstrates a dilated appendix with adjacent inflammation. Traditionally, luminal obstruction of the appendix has been thought to be the primary etiology of appendicitis. However, current evidence suggests that etiology of appendicitis is multifactorial and can involve a number of different pathogenic pathways. Here we present a case of acute eosinophilic appendicitis with radiologic-pathologic correlation from a hypersensitivity reaction pathway. Acute eosinophilic appendicitis may represent an early precursor to conventional acute suppurative (phlegmonous) appendicitis, or a variant form of acute appendicitis.

recognized by a certain $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})$-1dta. Two 1dta’s $M_1$ and $M_2$ having the common $\Sigma$ and $V$ are said to be *(computationally) equivalent* if $L(M_1)=L(M_2)$. Notice that this equivalence relation satisfies basic properties, including reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. For two topological spaces $V_1$ and $V_2$ together with a map $f:V_1\to V_2$, $V_1$ is *homeomorphic* to $V_2$ by $f$ if (i) $f$ is a bijection (thus, $f$ is also *invertible*), (ii) $f$ is continuous, and (iii) the inverse map $f^{-1}$ is continuous. This function $f$ is particularly called a *homeomorphism*. Given two maps $B_1:V_1\to V_1$ and $B_2:V_2\to V_2$, $B_1$ is *homeomorphic* to $B_2$ via $f$ if, for any pair $v,w\in V_1$, $B_1(v)=w$ implies $B_2(f(v)) = f(w)$. Moreover, two pairs $(A_1,B_1)$ and $(A_2,B_2)$ of sets, $(A_1,B_1)$ is *homeomorphic* to $(A_2,B_2)$B_{2,{\$}}(f(v)) = f(v_{acc})$. Since $E_{1,acc}$ is homeomorphic to $E_{2,acc}$ via $f|E_{1,acc}$, it follows from $v_{acc}\in E_{1,acc}$ that $f(v_{acc})$ falls into $E_{2,acc}$. This leads to the conclusion that $x\in L(M_2)$. By a similar argument, we can deduce that $x\notin L(M_1)$ implies $x\notin L(M_2)$ using $E_{1,rej}$ and $E_{2,rej}$. Therefore, we establish the equality $L(M_1) = L(M_2)$. As a direct consequence of Lemma \[homeomorphic-equiv\], we can freely identify all 1dta’s that are homeomorphic to each other. Conventional Finite Automata are 1dta’s {#sec:1dta-characterize} --------------------------------------- Our topological-automata framework naturally extends the existing 1-way finite automata of various types. To support this observation, let us demonstrate that typical models of 1-way finite automata can be nicely fit into our framework. Such a demonstration exemplifies the usefulness of our formulation of topological automata. As concrete examples, we here consider only the

v\in E_{acc}\}$ and $B^{-1}_{{\$}}(E_{rej}) = \{B_{{\$}}^{-1}(v)\mid v\in E_{rej}\}$, respectively. Since ${{\cal O}}$ is closed under inverse images of maps in ${{\cal B}}$, it follows that $(B^{-1}_{{\$}}(E_1),B^{-1}_{{\$}}(E_2))\in {{\cal O}}$ for any $(E_1,E_2)\in{{\cal O}}$. In particular, since $(E_{acc},E_{rej})\in{{\cal O}}$, we conclude that $(E'_{acc},E'_{rej})\in {{\cal O}}$. It is easy to show that $N$ correctly simulates $M$ on all inputs. Lemmas \[elimination-marker\]–\[right-endmarker\] seem to place a heavy restriction on an underlying automata base $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})$. This makes the endmarker elimination so costly. in certain cases, however, the 1dta model with no use of endmarkers, dubbed as *markless 1dta’s*, has a clear advantage in considering the effects of topological features of 1dta’s. We will see such a case in Section \[sec:compare-properties\]. Closure Properties ------------------ Let us discuss *closure properties* of a language family $({{\cal V}},{{\calthat $|V\!/{\equiv}|$ is finite. Toward a contradiction, assume that $V\!/{\equiv}$ is an infinite set. We then take an infinite subset $S$ of $V$ such that any two distinct points in $S$ are topologically distinguishable. As a consequence, there must be an infinite number of open sets in $T_V$. This contradicts the finiteness of $T_V$. Therefore, $|V\!/{\equiv}|$ must be finite. For the subsequent argument, we set $m = |V\!/{\equiv}|$. We choose $m$ points $v_0,v_1,\ldots,v_{m-1}\in V$ satisfying $[v_i]\neq [v_j]$ for any distinct pair $i,j\in[0,m-1]_{{\mathbb{Z}}}$. We then define the desired 1dfa $N=(Q,\Sigma,\{{{|}\!\!\mathrm{c}},{\$}\},\delta,v_0,Q_{acc},Q_{rej})$ as follows. Let $Q=\{v_0,v_1,\ldots,v_{m-1}\}$ and define two subsets $Q_{acc}=\{v_i\mid i\in[m], [v_i]\cap E_{acc}\neq{\varnothing}\}$ and $Q_{rej}=\{v_i\mid i\in[m], [v_i]\cap E_{rej}\neq{\varnothing}\}$. The transition function $\delta:Q\times\check{\Sigma}\to Q$ is defined as follows: for any pair $i,j\in[m]$, $\delta(v_i,\sigma)=v_j$ iff there are points (not necessarily in $Q$) $w_i,w_j\in

in ${{\cal V}}$. Finally, define ${{\cal O}}$ as $\{(L,\Sigma^*-L),(\{s_0\},\{s_1\}) \mid L\subseteq\Sigma^*,s_0,s_1\in\Sigma^{+},s_0\neq s_1,\Sigma\text{: alphabet}\}$. Let $L\subseteq \Sigma^*$ for an alphabet $\Sigma$ and set $V=\Sigma^*$. Since $T_V$ is a discrete topology, clearly $\{s_0\},\{s_1\}\in T_V$ and both $L$ and $\Sigma^*-L$ belong to $T_V$. Therefore, ${{\cal O}}$ is a set of *valid* observable pairs. Let $L$ be any language over an alphabet $\Sigma$. We want to construct a $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})$-1dta $M$ that recognizes $L$. Firstly, let us consider the case where $M$ uses no endmarker. We set $V=\Sigma^*$, $v_0=\lambda$, $B_{\sigma}(v) =v\sigma$, where $v\sigma$ is the concatenation of $v$ and $\sigma$, $E_{acc}=L$, and $E_{rej}=\Sigma^*-L$. These definitions imply that, for any $x\in\Sigma^*$, $B_{x}(v_0)=x\in L$ iff $x\in E_{acc}$. Finally, we define $M$ to be $(\Sigma,V,\{B_{\sigma}\}_{\sigma\in\Sigma}, v_0,E_{acc},E_{rej})$. The construction of $M$ implies that $L=L(M)$. Next, wetopological concepts are described by “properties” of topologies. An example of such properties is the *Hausdorf separation axiom*. It is thus possible to compare the strengths of two different properties of topological spaces by evaluating the computational power of the corresponding topological automata. For our purpose, it is desirable to disregard the two endmarkers in a general treatment of properties of topological spaces because they are quite different in behaviors from other input symbols. Therefore, unlike the other sections, we intend to use “markless 1dta’s” (which have no endmarker, discussed in Section \[sec:elimination\]) throughout this section. Slim Topological Automata {#sec:normalization} ------------------------- To design finite automata, it is sometimes imperative to make them “small” enough. Such a requirement often gives rise to a notion of “minimal” finite automata. For instance, Ehrig and

Firstly, we define ${{\cal B}}'$ to be the closure of $\{B_{x}\mid x\in\Sigma^*\}$ under multiplication $\circ$ discussed in Section \[sec:automata-base\]. We define $V_{M}= \{v_0, B(v_0) \mid B\in {{\cal B}}' \}$ with a *subspace topology* $T_{V_M}=\{A\cap V_{M}\mid A\in T_V\}$ induced from $T_{V}$. Notice that $(V_M,T_{V_M})$ and $(V,T_V)$ may be quite different in nature. We further set $\hat{{{\cal V}}}_{M}=\{V_{M}\}$. To define $\hat{{{\cal B}}}_M$, we need to restrict the domain of each map $B$ in ${{\cal B}}'$ onto $V_M$. Recall that such a restricted map is expressed as $B|V_M$. The desired $\hat{{{\cal B}}}_M$ is set to be the family of all maps $B|V_M$ induced from maps $B$ in ${{\cal B}}'$. Finally, we set $\hat{{{\cal O}}}_M$ to be $\{(E_{acc}\cap V_{M},E_{rej}\cap V_{M}) \}$. For each script $\tau\in\{acc,rej\}$, since $E_{\tau}$ is a clopen set, $E_{\tau}\capGiven a point $v\in A$, let $C_v =B(v)$. It then follows that $B^{-1}(C_v) = \bigcup_{z\in C_v}B^{-1}(z) = \{ w\in V\mid \exists z\in C_v[z\in B(w)]\}$, which equals $\{w\in V\mid \exists z\in V [z\in B(v)\cap B(w)]\}$. The last expression clearly indicates that $v\in B^{-1}(C_v)$. Hence, we conclude that $A\subseteq (B^{-1}\diamond B)(A)$. For the second claim, let $v\in A$ and set $D_v=B^{-1}(v)$. Note that $B(D_v) = \bigcup_{z\in D_v} B(z) = \{w\in V\mid \exists z\in D_v[w\in B(z)]\}$. Hence, $B(D_v)$ equals $\{w\in V\mid \exists z\in V[v\in B(z)\wedge w\in B(z)]\}$. From this expression, we conclude that $B(D_v)$ contains $v$. As a result, we obtain $A\subseteq (B\diamond B^{-1})(A)$. \(2) For any point $v\in A_1\cap B(A_2)$, we take another point $z\in A_2$ for which $z\in B(v)$. Since $z\in B(A_1)$, it follows that $z\in B(A_1)\cap A_2$. Therefore, we obtain

In Proposition \[Vietoris-topology\], we have shown how to simulate each 1nta by a computationally-equivalent 1dta. Find a more “succinct” description of $({{\cal V}}',{{\cal B}}',{{\cal O}}')$-1dta that is computationally equivalent to any given $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})$-1nta. 4. The complexity classes ${\mathrm{DCFL}}$ and $\mathrm{MM\mbox{-}1QFA}$ are not closed under intersection. Find a necessary and sufficient condition of $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})$ such that $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}}) \mbox{-}\mathrm{1DTA}$ is not closed under intersection. This contrasts Lemma \[closure-basics\](3). 5. Given an automata base $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})$ with “natural” topologies, characterize the language family $({{\cal V}},{{\cal B}},{{\cal O}})\mbox{-}\mathrm{1DTA}$ in terms of standard automata. 6. In Section \[sec:normalization\], we have discussed a type of “minimal” topological automata. Find ametric spaces. 9. In this paper, we have discussed only the case where any computation evolves *in linear fashion*. If we further expand our basic models using *nonlinear evolutions*, how do the corresponding one-way finite automata look like? [Gur91]{} A. Ambainis, M. Beaudry, M. Golovkins, A. Kikusts, M.

To improve society, it is first necessary to understand the laws by which society lives. The operation of these laws being impervious to our preferences, persons will challenge them only at the risk of failure. Realism, believing as it does in the objectivity of the laws of politics, must also believe in the possibility of developing a rational theory that reflects, however imperfectly and one-sidedly, these objective laws.

Non-state actors In the 21st century, the status-quo of the international system is no longer monopolized by states alone. Rather, it is the presence of non-state actors, who autonomously act to implement unpredictable behaviour to the international system. Whether it is transnational corporations, liberation movements, non-governmental agencies, or international organizations, these entities have the potential to significantly influence the outcome of any international transaction. Additionally, this also includes the individual person as while the individual is what constitutes the states collective entity, the individual does have the potential to also create unpredicted behaviours.

This study has been carried out with a sample of 50 patients. We did not enroll other people because the relationship between ECL% and the total CDE seemed to be well established. In future, we would like to enlarge the sample size in order to fine-tune the harm scale diminishing the dispersion of some values. In this pilot study, we applied our method to torsional phacoemulsification seeking for a connection between the rising trend of ECL% and postoperative BCVA for increasing scores of the harm scale.

Vegetation concentrated in soil-filled rock crevices (soil depth \< 20 cm). Variables of the environmental matrix were used to analyze effects on vegetation composition and species diversity in the habitats rocky shore, semi-natural grassland and coniferous forest. We consider livestock grazing as a relevant anthropogenic driver in semi-natural unfertilized grasslands in our study regions \[[@pone.0200191.ref007],[@pone.0200191.ref012]\]. To obtain an estimate of grazing history for grassland plots, we used the plant indicator system by Ekstam and Forshed \[[@pone.0200191.ref043]\], which is based on the species-specific response of grassland specialists to progressive succession after management abandonment. We translated their system into

landscape variables (cf. [Table 2](#pone.0200191.t002){ref-type="table"}). For univariate analyses of species diversity we used the two complementary proxies species richness and species evenness \[[@pone.0200191.ref032]\]. For species evenness we used the evenness index E~var~, proposed by Smith and Wilson \[[@pone.0200191.ref046]\], which describes the equality of species abundances in a community. Species evenness is independent of species richness and not biased with regard to minor and abundant species. Statistical analyses {#sec005} -------------------- For each habitat separately, all numerical explanatory variables were normalized by scaling between zero and one \[[@pone.0200191.ref047]\]. In case of correlated explanatory variables (r \> 0.6) within each environmental matrix of the respective habitat, the variable with greater ecological significance (based on personal decision) remained in the matrix for further analyses (see [S6 Table](#pone.0200191.s010){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). ### Vegetation composition {#sec006} We used partial canonical correspondence analysis (pCCA)rocky shore, via the semi-natural grassland with variable disturbance intensities, towards the relatively stable coniferous forest. The rocky shore model accounted for 18.9% ETV (TI = 4.85; F = 3.4; p ≤ 0.001), the semi-natural grassland model for 30.0% ETV (TI = 5.05; F = 2.6; p ≤ 0.001) and the coniferous forest model for 34.3% ETV (TI = 2.10; F = 3.6; p ≤ 0.001) in vegetation composition. The gradient lengths of the compositional data of the three habitats (rocky shore and semi-natural grassland = 4.3 SD; coniferous forest = 3.4 SD) indicated a higher local species turnover among rocky shore and semi-natural grassland plots than among coniferous forest plots. Except for topography, all environmental variable-sets, including region ([Table 3](#pone.0200191.t003){ref-type="table"}) had significant effects on the floristic composition

(25.4% EMV). Interestingly, despite a relatively strong effect of the surrounding landscape on rocky shore and grassland vegetation composition ([Fig 2](#pone.0200191.g002){ref-type="fig"}), there was no landscape effect on rocky shore species evenness and grassland species diversity in general. Discussion {#sec011} ========== Habitat-specific effects and contributions (H1) {#sec012} ----------------------------------------------- We expected that the effects of the environmental matrix on local vegetation composition and species diversity vary among rocky shore, semi-natural grassland and coniferous forest, i.e. are highly conditional on habitat identity. Our results indicate that local plant communities in contrasting habitats on Baltic archipelago islands are partly affected by the same and partly by different environmental drivers and their relative contribution is mainly habitat-specific. Unexpectedly, edaphic variables comprising soil fertility and soil morphology were highly consistent and powerful predictors of both local vegetation composition and speciesincrease of soil pH was strongly associated with higher species numbers and more equal dominance structures in both forest and grassland communities, but this was not evident for rocky shore species diversity. Changes in soil pH can have strong effects on nutrient availability, which additionally depends on nutrient input and water availability \[[@pone.0200191.ref062]\] and thus on the properties and abundances of certain habitats. For example, the effect of soil fertility on composition and dominance structures of plant communities along rocky shores were largely modified by inputs of phosphorous, probably caused by sea bird droppings, partly masking existing effects of soil pH. Additional avian inputs of phosphorus and nitrogen \[[@pone.0200191.ref063]--[@pone.0200191.ref065]\] are known to favor nutrient-demanding and competitive plant species \[[@pone.0200191.ref065]\], such as *Geranium robertianum* L., *Anthriscus sylvestris* (L.)

considered key descriptors of species communities \[[@pone.0200191.ref082],[@pone.0200191.ref083]\]. Species richness is commonly used as a sole proxy to describe patterns of local species diversity \[[@pone.0200191.ref022],[@pone.0200191.ref024]\], but our data suggest that local diversity-environment relationships largely depend on the diversity proxy involved \[[@pone.0200191.ref032]\]. If both proxies share important environmental drivers, such as grazing history or soil fertility in semi-natural grasslands, the strength of the relationships are proxy-specific. Generally, changes in plant species diversity are very likely to have consequences for population dynamics, ecosystem functioning and invasibility of island plant communities \[[@pone.0200191.ref001],[@pone.0200191.ref002],[@pone.0200191.ref084]\], even more so in the light of global climate change \[[@pone.0200191.ref085]\]. We demonstrated, that species richness alone is an incomplete representation of species diversity in complex landscapes comprising many different habitats. Thus, our study explicitly stresses the necessity to include--- abstract: 'We highlight the impact of cluster-mass-dependent evolutionary rates upon the evolution of the cluster mass function during violent relaxation, that is, while clusters dynamically respond to the expulsion of their residual star-forming gas. Mass-dependent evolutionary rates arise when the mean volume density of cluster-forming regions is mass-dependent. In that case, even if the initial conditions are such that the cluster mass function at the end of violent relaxation has the same shape as the embedded-cluster mass function (i.e. infant weight-loss is mass-independent), the shape of the cluster mass function does change transiently [*during*]{} violent relaxation. In contrast, for cluster-forming regions of constant mean volume density, the cluster mass function shape is preserved all through violent relaxation since all clusters then evolve at the same mass-independent rate.

cluster-forming region (CFRg) of its residual star-forming gas, the mass fraction of stars bound to a cluster decreases steadily with time (infant weight-loss) until the cluster either reaches a new equilibrium, or is completely disrupted. This dynamical response of a cluster to gas expulsion is called violent relaxation. @bau07 express the bound mass fraction of stars, $F_b$, as a function of the CFRg star formation efficiency at the onset of gas expulsion, $SFE$, of the gas expulsion time-scale, $\tau_{gexp}/\tau_{cross}$, and of the impact of an external tidal field which they quantify through the ratio of the initial half-mass radius to the initial tidal radius of the embedded-cluster, $r_h/r_t$. That is: $$F_b = F_b (t/\tau_{cross},SFE,\tau_{gexp}/\tau_{cross}, r_h/r_t )\,, \label{eq:fb}$$ where $F_b$ is defined as the mass fraction of stars within thethe same total mass in star-forming gas (thus the same CFRg mass function normalization) and the same final bound fraction $F_{bound}$ (since all simulations are performed with identical $SFE$, $\tau_{gexp}/\tau_{cross}$ and $r_h/r_t\lesssim 0.01$; see Eq. \[eq:fb\]). ![[*Top panel:*]{} Cluster mass function in dependence of age and SFE (see key) for CFRgs with a constant mean surface density.

while, on a larger spatial scale, its external layers keep expanding. This explains straightforwardly why some Galactic massive star clusters as young as a few Myr are observed in virial equilibrium (e.g. Wd 1), while clusters with ages 10-60Myr still show a perturbed surface brightness profile at radii $>10$pc [e.g M82-F, NGC1569-A and NGC1705-1; see fig. 1 in @bas06]. Owing to their distance, clusters in starburst galaxies are often observed with large linear apertures, thereby highlighting the shells of unbound stars expanding on spatial scales $>10$pc. In contrast, observations of star clusters in the Galactic disc are often limited to their few central parsecs (see Sects \[ssec:ap2\] and \[ssec:arch\]). We now quantify how the size of the aperture affects the observed ratio of the dynamical and luminous masses of a cluster,(blue) area ignores the uncertainties affecting $M_{lum}$. Were they included, the error on $M_{dyn}/M_{lum}$ would be accordingly larger. In that respect, @gen11 derive $M_{lum} \simeq 0.49_{-0.05}^{+0.18} \times 10^5\,M_{\odot}$ for Wd 1 [a similar value was found by @bra08]. Combined to the $M_{dyn}$ estimate of @men09, this is suggestive of a higher ratio $M_{dyn}/M_{lum} \simeq 2$ (i.e. in Fig. \[fig:mdml\], the shaded areas rise by a factor of $\simeq 2$), even more compatible with explosive gas expulsion conditions. Here lies one more source of complication, however. In models, the stars used to derive the radial velocity dispersion $\sigma_{los}^2$ and the luminous mass estimate $M_{lum}$ are identical. In real observations, that may not be the case. To infer $M_{lum}$ and $M_{dyn}$ based on different observation sets, hence different fields-of-view, can only increase

Evolution has designed the human body like a fortress with heavily guarded entrances. Our physical well-being relies on keeping pathogens and other detrimental substances at bay. While the facial apertures — mouth, nose, eyes, ears — and the anal and uro-genital openings have their own defenses, the epidermis constitutes the body’s main guardian against invasion, simply because it is so extensive in surface area and so interactive. Possessing at least half a dozen properties and strategies for repelling invaders, our skin stops a vast spectrum of unwanted agents. Lucky for us, the skin can also be convinced to pass beneficial things, such as drugs, directly into the body where they can be readily utilized with distinct advantages over other modes of delivery.

adults they did find would share features with the other ASD individuals, including poor social integration; like the current generation, they'd be more likely to be male. They then set about an enormous undertaking: diagnosing a representative population of UK adults. As a first pass, they selected a population based on postal codes and employment statistics. With over 14,000 households identified, interviewers fanned out, ultimately completing over 7,000 interviews that provided a first level of screening for ASD diagnoses. From that pool, 850 individuals were chosen for a second, more in-depth interview; 630 people completed that, and the authors adjusted their data to take a failure to respond into account, leaving them with a population that was largely representative of the English population over 16 years of age.

We have conducted a study to compare the diagnostic yields of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and capsule endoscopy for the detection of small-bowel polyps in patients with inherited polyposis syndromes. MRI was performed in 20 patients, with either Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome (PJS; n = 4) or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; n = 16), and capsule endoscopy was done the next day. The number, size, and location of polyps were analyzed.

The Fate of the Furious Here we are, number eight in the impossible series. The one that started as cheesy car exploitation with surprising heart, and evolved into… the FAST AND THE FURIOUS series. The one that, I am happy to say, is still the longest running movie series that I like every installment of. (Second place is still DEATH WISH. I am now aware that RESIDENT EVIL comes close, but I don’t like the first one.) That is not to say that it can sustain forever. But only because fossil fuels will eventually run out. Inevitably, there has been a slight downward arc in quality since the untoppable back-to-back peaking of FAST FIVE and FURIOUS 6, but part FATE is still an immensely entertaining chapter in the ongoing soapback. They probly need to change up the status quo, and I’m sure they will. They made a point of reminding us that we don’t know who the hell Mr. Nobody is, which may mean some sort of revelation about that (before Paul Walker’s death he was going to turn out to be the father O’Conner never met). And now Dom will have to change diapers. The thing is, I actually do kinda think Dom could be a good dad if he abandoned all of his interests other than barbecues and praying. But I don’t want to see a movie about that. I don’t want him to have to create a special baby seat that won’t be crushed in his various car endeavors. I don’t want him to have to

noodle character up as a live-in nanny for them. And teach Ramsey to fucking drive, for crying out loud. It can happen between films. But now the two most recent female characters (Ramsey and Cipher) aren’t drivers at all? I suspect Charlize will show back up in FNINE with a badass Lambo or something now that here cool plane is gone. Ramsey though, she’s gotta turn into an unhinged maniac on the streets. I find it to be super lame that her entire characterization is as an object for Tej and Roman to fight over and who also types really fast. I did love the joke at the end about her last name though, that was the biggest and best laugh in the movie. Now give her something tosome blowback.) • On that same note, I loved the cross-cutting between Statham and Johnson in the prison escape. It really showed the differences in their styles and in their appeal. I thought this was a big improvement on the way their fight in 7 was choreographed to make them both look like burly brawlers. Making no mystery of Statham’s comparatively unimpressive stature was a good call in this one. You’re not gonna outbeef Vin and The Rock on their own turf so it was smart to lean into his grace and speed. I never tire of watching that man move. • Words cannot express how much I love that Statham and Evans are playing the Shaw Brothers. I don’t even care that their accents are about as distinct from

Dodge Charger graciously flies and glides through a massive explosion like Stallone, Dolph or Arnold regularly did in with their bodies back in the day. Like seriously dude the fact that Dom needed his American Muscle to really hurt the big bad and her nuclear sub too was symbolic as fuck and damn near put a tear in my eye. Chargers and Mustangs are as much the stars of the series as Vin himself so never fucking forget that. Point fucking taken :) Overall this was one of the best times at the movies I have had in a long time. The fact that it followed LOGAN which was one of the most emotional times I’ve had at a flick in a long time was poignant as hell. Godthe first three movies in the franchise: relatively relatable characters in silly cars getting involved in somewhat over-their head problems with gangsters. Number 4 as well, to an extent, though that was a bit joyless. But then they turn into invincible superheroes, saving the world in plots that – to me – are as convoluted and incomprehensible as a Steven Seagal Romanian vehicle, but with a 300 million dollar budget rather than $39.99. This movie seemed to me to be particularly mean spirited. Our heroes are now casual murderers. I can’t say I really understood who they were stealing the EMP from at the beginning, but how many security guards (or whoever) did Tej happily crush with his giant wrecking ball? And how many prison guards/prisoners must have died

explodes. As far as Hans´death goes, he is not really dead. At the end of FURIOUS SIX, between the time Deckard calls Dom and the time the explosion happened, one of Deckards henchmen got Han out of the car and hid him away. The whole point of that was to fool Dom into thinking one of his was dead so he could feel what it would be like when one of your own is dead/in comatose. Somehwere in the comments somebody raised the possibility that Dom froze Han´s body in carbonite and then somebody said something like Han Seoul. I can´t find it again, but Jesus that is the funniest shit in a long time! Shoot, not only do we not see Deckard kill civilians at the start of 7, butthis time loop stable, repeating itself at regular three-film intervals, or are we perhaps dealing with a spiraling effect, which will continue in ever-tightening arcs until the 14th and 15th films are happening both concurrently with each other and with the cookout scene from the first movie? These questions would require a more in-depth understanding of quantum physics, relativity, and perhaps even string theory than I am capable of, so I’d like to bring this discussion home with one last question: What year does the F&F franchise think it’s happening in? Because clearly its timeline has long since branched off from ours. There will be years between installments in the real world but only weeks in the world of the movies, or they’ll stay trapped for years in a

Congress as laws as well as grants; that *598 Congress intends no scramble between companies for the grasping of titles by priority of location, but that it is to be regarded as though title passes as of the date of the act, and to the company having priority of grant, and, therefore, that in the eye of the law it is now as though there never was a period of time during which any title to these lands was in the Southern Pacific. As said in the case of Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway v. Kansas Pacific Railway, 97 U.S. 491, 497: "It is always to be borne in mind, in construing a Congressional grant, that the act by which it is made is a law as well asthough the lands granted to the Atlantic and Pacific had been identified in 1866, and title had then passed, and there never was a title of any kind vested in the Southern Pacific Company. And whatever of plausibility there might be in this suggestion of counsel, based upon the old common law rules in respect to the effect of a lack of identification upon attempted conveyances between private parties, it fails entirely because its map of definite location was not filed by the Southern Pacific Company until long after the filing by the Atlantic and Pacific Company. It is true that the bills of complaint in these cases allege that "said Southern Pacific Railroad Company accepted said grant, and on April 3, 1871, did designate the line of its

been the practice of the Department in such cases, to formally withdraw them." As the act of July 27, 1866, the one before us, is in these respects exactly like that of the one before the court in that case, it must be held that here, as there, Congress provided for two separate matters; one the fixing of the general route, and the other the designation of the line of definite location; and an examination of the evidence shows that the map which *601 was filed on April 3, 1871, was simply one of general route, and therefore did not work a designation of the tracts of land to which the Southern Pacific's grant attached. As the map was filed within one month after the grant, it might bediagram designating the general route of said road, I herewith transmit a map showing thereon the line of route, as also the 20 and 30-mile limits of the grant, to the line of withdrawal for the Southern Pacific Railroad under the act of 1866, and you are hereby directed to withhold from sale or location, preëmption or homestead entry all the odd-numbered sections falling within those limits." Further, there is in evidence an exemplification of a diagram in the Land Office, showing the limits of the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific Company, with the intersecting limits of the grant to the Southern Pacific Company, on which diagram appear two lines, one traced in blue, and marked "branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad;" and the other in red, somewhat

other railroad. Congress had power to confer such authority and to make a grant for its execution. Surely Congress can make a grant of lands which it owns or claims to own at any time, if it annex a condition that the grant shall not affect or impair the rights of a previous grantee. It would, as it seems to me, be an extravagant and utterly unwarranted assertion to say that Congress, having made a grant for a railroad to run in one direction, is thereby prohibited from making another grant for a railroad to run in a different direction, if a condition is annexed that the second grant shall not affect or impair the rights of the first grantee.

Neoplastic cells had B-cell marker in both cases and a few neoplastic cells contained intracytoplasmic IgM in sheep 2. It was presumed that B-cells might be transformed into neoplastic cells on the way of their differentiation. Some of neoplastic cells might have ability of immunoglobulin-production in sheep 2.

higher affinity for SA than did the motif phage. Both classes of SA-binding phage failed to bind native and non-glycosylated forms of avidin, even though SA and avidin are structurally similar and both proteins possess extraordinary affinities for biotin. The polyclonal goat anti-mouse IgG Fc Ab preparation selected phage displaying sequences similar to a region of the mouse IgG Fc. Thus, a single immunodominant epitope on the mouse IgG Fc was identified. Furthermore, a second phage displaying peptides with no discernible sequence similarities to mouse IgG Fc was isolated. Thus, an M13 library displaying 38-aa peptides can yield phage with affinity for various targets. Finally, we have observed a biological bias against odd numbers of Cys residues in the displayed peptides.a large spacing between the components on the printed circuit board, such that the blast of hot air directed at one component from above will not flow over and melt the solder on the terminals of adjacent components. However, as the printed circuit board art advances, not only are the components themselves becoming increasingly smaller, but their proximity on the printed circuit board is also increasing. Thus, there is a need for a device which not only can provide a closely controlled and evenly distributed source of heat effective to melt the solder associated with the component terminals or printed substrate conductors during installation or removal of the electronic component relative thereto, but also one which can rapidly and precisely direct this controlled heat where desired, thereby minimizing

be understood because cores lie at the stagnation points of convergent turbulent flows, where compression is at a maximum, and relative velocity differences are at a minimum. The apparent coherence may be due, at least in part, to an observational effect related to the length and concentration of the material contributing to the line. In our simulated cores, $\sigma_{\rm turb}$ often has its local maximum at small but finite offsets from the column density maximum, suggesting that the core is the dense region behind a shock. Such a configuration is often found in observations of nearby molecular cloud cores, and argues in favor of the gravoturbulent scenario of stellar birth as it is not expected in star-formation models based on magnetic mediation. and velocity structure of cores in numerical models of gravoturbulent molecular cloud evolution is the ability to resolve high density contrasts at arbitrary locations within the cloud. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH; see Benz 1990, Monaghan 1992) is probably the best method currently available for this purpose. The properties of our numerical scheme and resolution issues in the context of gravoturbulent fragmentation have been extensively discussed in Paper I (see also Klessen et al. 2000, or Klessen 2001). Once the density contrast in the center of a collapsing cloud core exceeds a density contrast of about $10^4$ a “sink” particle is created (Bate et al. 1995). It replaces the central high-density region and has the ability to accrete further infalling material while keeping track of mass and linear and angular momentum. However, the

a larger number of cores that do not qualify as being coherent, and those that do are mostly transonic or supersonic. Thus, the LSD model compares better to observations than the SSD model because observed cores often appear quiescent and coherent. However, persuasive observational statistics is still lacking. This argues in favor of clouds and their cores being driven from large scales (see also the discussion in Ossenkopf & Mac Low 2002). To estimate the fraction of cores with subsonic velocities, Fig. \[histo:fig\] shows a histogram of the mean velocity dispersion inside the lowest contour (above half of the peak column density). For the whole core sample (models LSD and SSD combined) about 23$\,$% of all cores are quiescent in the strict sense (i.e. with $\sigma_{\rm turb} \le c_{\rm s}$), whilestimulating discussions during the elaboration of the present manuscript.

I wholeheartedly agree that MB casts the 16 people with archetypes in mind, and he anticipates conflict (Frank and Brandon were not randomly placed together, IMHO... nor were John and Paschal, but in that case the desired result was not achieved). The cast must be created with a vision of how they will interact, and how they will behave. Unfortunately, a 20 minute (or however long it is) video made in your basement or backyard is not the same as a beach in the jungle (case in point: Stephanie from Thailand). It is here that the editing takes the front seat. The whole point of taking these 16 people and putting them in the Amazon for 39 days is to make a television show. However, there is a key differenceyou were joking about the Rudy the Warrior/Scholar thing. Very clear and well-thought out points, Howard! Like others here, I believe that MB selects contestants depending on what type of character he wants on the show. If that contestant doesn't evolve as the character he expected them to, then MB steps in with his creative editing to give his "character" the feel he was looking for. Then there are some contestants that don't require that much editing...i.e..Flo in TAR3. I have to say that the Bachelorette's finale was one of the best i've seen.

The victim and the driver of the vehicle had been picking up trash along their assigned route. On the particular street where the incident occurred, there were only four locations where trash had to be picked up. The driver backed down the street as he was originally trained to do. One of these locations had an excessive amount of trash. The driver decided to reposition the vehicle so the rear of the vehicle was as close to the pile

This invention improves upon the method of U.S. Pat. No. 4,567,774 by teaching the modifying of the stress field during the testing with the miniature specimen. This modifying of the stress field can be done mechanically, or by using a force field such as a magnetic field in order to produce stresses in preferred orientations in the material, or by causing a change in the stress field conditions by the means of the removal of material on the sides of the specimen. Since plane strain need not be achieved in fracture mode transition behavior testing, side notching of the specimen is the preferred approach since this is experimentally less complicated. The

Current test procedures require a minimum specimen thickness which cannot be satisfied in many cases. This serves to preclude use of miniature specimens. The advantage of the present invention is that specimens which are much smaller than those currently in use can be accurately tested. This enables testing of materials removed from in-service components in cases where it is not possible to remove enough material to meet current ASTM test requirements. The invention can also be used to provide additional nuclear pressure vessel surveillance data by cutting miniature specimens from the broken halves of full size charpy specimens. Another advantage of the method of the invention is that the method allows the modifyingComparing outcome scales for unruptured intracranial aneurysms: A prospective cohort study. Outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) are commonly used to guide and evaluate the management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (uIA). However, the mRS is unlikely to measure all the relevant aspects of the clinical health of a patient. The current study therefore investigated the relationship between the mRS and additional measures of outcome. Between January 2011 and January 2016 patients with a new diagnosis of uIA were prospectively examined at referral and 12-month follow-up.

I thought should be common knowledge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently stressed that people should not kiss chickens. Yes, you read that correctly. The CDC says that salmonella can be spread to humans through direct and indirect contact with an animal, in this case particularly chickens. I love animals, but we all have our place on this earth, and I’ve never been one to have one in my face, unless it is being put there on the end of a fork. Even without a CDC warning I have always shied away from, even cringed at, kissing a pig or allowing a dog to lick may face. I grew up with farm dogs, and having seen what they eat, I am satisfied with a simple handshake whenI greet them. I raised pigs on outside lots and in confinement, and I’m sorry but I’m not kissing either end of a pig. Maybe I need to learn more about the cleanliness of a pig’s snout or a dog’s mouth. Nah, I plead ignorance in this case, and I’m comfortable staying that way.

the core arc $L$ by a knotted arc $K_0$, we remove a neighborhood $V = S^1\times D^2$ of a small linking circle of $L$ and replace it by the exterior $E(K)$ of the knot $K$ (in such a way as to preserve the homology). Performing this operation in each normal tube $\theta\times[-1,1]\times D^2$, we have replaced $S^1\times V = S^1\times S^1\times D^2$ by $S^1\times E(K)$, in such a way that the boundary of the Seifert surface for $K$ is matched with the boundary of a normal disk $pt\times pt \times \partial D^2\subset S^1\times S^1\times D^2$. This construction is an instance of [*knot surgery*]{} using the torus $T$ given by the product of $c\subset \Sigma$ with the boundary of a (slightly smaller) normal disk. In a remarkable paper [@FSknot], Fintushelnbd(\Sigma) = Z$ and $E \setminus nbd(\Sigma')$, since both sides have nonvanishing $b^+$. We again conclude that $\Psi_Z \neq 0$. However, the adjunction inequality implies that the self-intersection of the surface $\Sigma'$ in the manifold $E$ is bounded above by $2g-2$, hence this argument works only if $\Sigma.\Sigma\geq 2-2g$. To prove (ii) above, we must calculate the twisted Heegaard Floer homology of the boundary $Y = \partial Z = \partial Z_K$ as a module over $R_Y = {\mathbb{Z}}[H^1(Y)]$. This boundary is a circle bundle over $\Sigma$, having degree $-n$ if $\Sigma.\Sigma = n$ (since $Y$ is oriented as the boundary of the complement). The Floer homology of circle bundles of large degree is reasonably straightforward to calculate using techniques due to [[Ozsváth and Szabó]{}]{}; in particular if $n=\Sigma.\Sigma <

Likewise $L_+$ and $L_-$ are two-component links differing by a crossing change between strands on different components, and $L_0$ is the knot resulting from resolving the crossing (there is always a resolution tree for $K$ containing only one- and two-component links). The two relations above imply that if we define a formal series $\Theta_K(t)\in {\mathbb{F}}[[t]][t^{-1}]$ by letting $\Theta_K = [{{\mbox{\normalfont\gothfamily O}}}_{X_K}]/[{{\mbox{\normalfont\gothfamily O}}}_{X}]$ if $K$ has one component, and$\Theta_L = (t^{1/2} - t^{-1/2})^{-1} [{{\mbox{\normalfont\gothfamily O}}}_{X_L}]/[{{\mbox{\normalfont\gothfamily O}}}_{X}]$ if $L$ has two components, then $\Theta_K$ satisfies the same skein relation and normalization as the symmetric Alexander polynomial and the theorem follows (c.f. [@FSknot] or [@FSclay]). Property (1) above follows from the log transform formula given in Corollary \[logtransfcor\]. Indeed, let $c$ denote a smooth unknot linking the relevant crossing of $K_-$, so that $c$ is nullhomologous in the complement of $K\subset S^3$ and such that $K_+$ can be realized as the result of $+1$ Dehn surgery along $c$ (c.f. Figure \[crossingfig\](a)). ![In (a), $+1$-surgery on $c$ yields the knot $K_+$.

are no nontrivial rim tori and the statement follows. We can now give a relative version of the knot surgery formula for 4-manifolds with boundary. \[knotsurgthm\] Suppose $Z$ is a smooth 4-manifold with boundary $Y$, and assume that $T\subset Z$ is an embedded torus with the following properties: - $[T]$ is of infinite order in $H_2(Z;{\mathbb{Z}})$ - $[T]$ lies in $Im(H_2(Y;{\mathbb{Z}})\to H_2(Z;{\mathbb{Z}}))$ Fix a knot $K$ in $S^3$ and let $Z_K$ denote the result of a knot surgery operation applied to $Z$ along $T$. Let ${\mathfrak{s}}$ be a [[ ]{}]{}structure on $Z$ that is trivial in a neighborhood of $T$, i.e., $\langle c_1({\mathfrak{s}}), T\rangle = 0$. Then when $b^+(Z)\geq 1$ the (mod-2) relative [[Ozsváth-Szabó]{} ]{}invariant of $Z$ and $Z_K$ are related by $$\label{relknotsurgform} [\Psi_{Z_K,{\mathfrak{s}}_K}] = [\Delta_K(t) \cdot \Psi_{Z,{\mathfrak{s}}}],$$ up toTo use this, note first that the $E_1$-term of the spectral sequence coming from the horizontal filtration of the full complex $CFK^\infty$ is given by $\widehat{HF}(Y,R_Y)\otimes {\mathbb{Z}}[U,U^{-1}] \cong {\mathbb{Z}}[U,U^{-1}]$, since the fully-twisted Floer homology of $Y = \#^{2g}S^1\times S^2$ is $\widehat{HF}(Y;R_Y) \cong {\mathbb{Z}}$, supported in degree $-g$. To expand a bit, the $E_1$ term is calculated by taking the homology of $CFK^\infty$ with respect to the “vertical” differentials, which in each column $\{i = const\}$ has the form $$\label{freeres} 0\to \Lambda^{2g}M\to \Lambda^{2g-1}M\to \cdots\to \Lambda^1M\to \Lambda^0M\to 0$$ (omitting the $U$-powers). Strictly speaking, this complex appears as the $E_1$ term of a “spectral subsequence” (coming from the $j$ filtration) calculating the homology of the column, i.e., the $\Lambda^{g+j}M$ are the homologies of the associated graded complexes in a fixed column, namely

& \Lambda^0 & &&&&& Z_1 & {\mathbb{Z}}&& \\ \\ &\mbox{(a)}&&&&&&&\mbox{(b)} \end{array}$$ Since the original complex is exact except at the rightmost point, the complex above has vanishing homology except in the lowest degree, where the homology is a copy of $Z_1:=\Lambda^1M/{\mbox{im}}(\Lambda^2M\to \Lambda^1M) \cong \ker(\Lambda^0M\to {\mathbb{Z}})$, where the latter is the map arising when viewing as a free resolution of ${\mathbb{Z}}$. In other words, $Z_1$ is isomorphic to the augmentation ideal $\ker(R_Y\to {\mathbb{Z}})$. Now consider the $d_1$ differential in the spectral sequence, the horizontal differential. Clearly the only possible nontrivial differential maps ${\mathbb{Z}}\to Z_1$ in the row $j = -g+1$. This map is trivial: indeed, there is no nontrivial map of $R_Y$ modules from ${\mathbb{Z}}$ to the augmentation ideal, since the latter is contained in the free module $R_Y$. Since therehomology lies along the line $j=0$) and is equal to the syzygy module $Z_{g-i}$. From the structure of this $E_1$ term, it must be the case that the spectral sequence collapses at the $E_2$ stage: that is, the homology of the $E_1$ (horizontal) differential must equal $H_*(C\{j\geq 0\}) = {{\mathcal T}}_{-g}$. Hence, reading along the row $j =0$, the horizontal differentials give a sequence $$\label{Zseq} 0\lFrom Z_{2g} \lFrom^{\delta_{2g-1}} Z_{2g-1} \lFrom^{\delta_{2g-2}}\cdots\lFrom^{\delta_{2}} Z_2\lFrom^{\delta_1} Z_1 \lFrom^{\delta_0} {\mathbb{Z}}\lFrom 0$$ whose homology is ${\mathbb{Z}}$ for even-indexed terms and 0 for the others. Now consider the calculation of $H_*(C\{i\geq 0 \mbox{ and } j\geq k\})$, where by conjugation symmetry we may assume that $k \leq 0$. After taking the vertical homology, we have a “truncated” version of the complex just considered: for $i\geq g+k$ the homology

calculated by similar methods, though the argument that the spectral sequence for $HF^+$ collapses at the $E_2$ stage is slightly more complicated in this case. For the sake of completeness we state the result here, but since we will not need it in the sequel we omit the proof. For any $n\geq 2g-1$, the twisted Floer homology of the circle bundle $Y_n$ of degree $n$ over an orientable surface of genus $g\geq 1$ is given as an $R_Y$ module by $$\label{posdeganswer} HF^+(Y_n,{\mathfrak{s}}_k) \cong K_{g+|k|+1} \oplus {\mathbb{Z}}[U]/U^{r_k} \oplus {{\mathcal T}}_{-g-\tau_{n,k}}$$ for each $k = -g+1,\ldots,g-1$, while if $|k|>g-1$ then $HF^+(Y_n,{\mathfrak{s}}_k) \cong {{\mathcal T}}_{-g-\tau_{n,k}}$. Here $K_\ell$ is the $R_Y$-module given by $$K_\ell = \ker(\delta: Z_{\ell}\to Z_{\ell +1}),$$ and the factor $K_{g+|k|+1}$ above is supported in degree $|k|-1 - \tau_{n,k}$. Also, $r_k = \lfloor\frac{g-|k|}{2}\rfloor$,Floer homology in the relevant degree, this means that $\Psi_{Z,{\mathfrak{k}}}$ pairs trivially with every member of $HF^+_{red}(Y_{2-2g},{\mathfrak{k}})$. But according to the fiber sum argument in the proof of Theorem \[nonvanthm\] (c.f. ), there must be an element of $HF^+_{red}(Y_{2-2g},{\mathfrak{k}})$ pairing nontrivially with $\Psi_{Z,{\mathfrak{k}}}$. This contradiction implies that $F^-_{W,{\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}}_\pm}(\Psi_{Z,{\mathfrak{k}}}) \neq 0$, i.e., at least one of $\alpha^+ = F^-_{W,{\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}}_+}(\Psi_{Z,{\mathfrak{k}}})$ or $\alpha^- = F^-_{W,{\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}}_-}(\Psi_{Z,{\mathfrak{k}}})$ is a nonzero element of $HF^-(Y_{2g-1}, {\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}}_+)$ (resp. $HF^-(Y_{2g-1}, {\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}}_-)$). By the composition law, the element $\alpha^+$ is exactly the relative invariant for ${\widetilde{Z}}$ in the [[ ]{}]{}structure ${\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}}_+$, and similarly for $\alpha^-$. This proves the theorem, modulo the two points above. The two points deferred in the above proof follow from straightforward but somewhat laborious calculations in cohomology, combined with the structure of the Floer homology of

symplectic 4-manifold $X$, then the resulting cobordism $S^3\to S^3$ has $d({\mathfrak{k}}) = 1$. Now suppose $\Sigma\subset X$ is a symplectic surface: then the adjunction formula says that $\langle c_1({\mathfrak{k}}), \Sigma\rangle = 2g-2-n$, where $n = \Sigma.\Sigma$ is the self-intersection of $\Sigma$. Let $N$ be a tubular neighborhood of $\Sigma$ in $X$ and ${\mathfrak{k}}_N$ the restriction of the canonical [[ ]{}]{}structure to $N$, so that $c_1({\mathfrak{k}}_N)$ is equal to $2g-2-n$ times the generator of $H^2(N;{\mathbb{Z}})$ (the generator being specified as the Kronecker dual of $[\Sigma]$). As a cohomology class whose restriction to $\partial N$ is torsion, the Chern class of ${\mathfrak{k}}_N$ has a well-defined square in rational cohomology, which is $$c_1^2({\mathfrak{k}}_N) = \frac{(2g-2-n)^2}{n}.$$ Assume that $n<0$, so that $\sigma(N) = -1$. We see $e(N\setminus B^4) = 1-2g$, from which it& \^[2g]{} & & s\_[n-1]{}(Aa) & & s\_[n]{},e& where on the factor ${\mathbb{Z}}\langle s_{n-1},a\rangle$, $C$ is represented in the given bases by the matrix $$C = \left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 1 \\ -1 & -n\end{array}\right].$$ Passing to cohomology, let us write $s_{n}^*, e^*$ for the basis of $H^2(M;{\mathbb{Z}})$ Kronecker dual to $s_{n},e\in H_2(M;{\mathbb{Z}})$, and similar for the other relevant groups. Since $s_{n}$ and $e$ are represented by symplectic surfaces, the adjunction formula quickly shows that the canonical class ${\widetilde{K}}= c_1({\tilde{{\mathfrak{k}}}})$ is $${\widetilde{K}}= (2g-2-n) s^*_{n} - e^*.$$ Applying the transpose $C^*$ of the homomorphism $C$, we have $$C^*({\widetilde{K}}) = (2g-1-n)s_{n-1}^* \oplus (2g-2)a^* \in H^2(D_{n-1})\oplus H^2(W),$$ and in particular the restriction of the canonical class to $W$ is ${\widetilde{K}}|_W = (2g-2)a^*$. \[restrlemma\] Let $\{{\mathfrak{s}}_k\}$, $k \in {\mathbb{Z}}/(n-1){\mathbb{Z}}$, resp. $\{{\mathfrak{t}}_\ell\}$, $\ell \in {\mathbb{Z}}/n{\mathbb{Z}}$, denote the

RNG meaning random number generation. The suggestion being that winning at Hearthstone is mostly do with luck, and little to do with skill. (Which doesn’t explain why the best players are able to win much more consistently, of course.) So, given the seeming dislike of RNG, you might expect Blizzard to be steering clear of it with the first standalone card expansion. Instead, they’ve done the exact opposite, and doubled-down on randomness, chaos, and—at least so Blizzard hope—fun.

The elevated temperature was observed onchanges have been reported in different species of animals \[[@ref10]-[@ref12]\], studies on time-dependent changes during the course of infection including the acute phase of the disease are not available. We also preferred to induce experimental infection as it is difficult to get different breeds of animals with similar age following natural infection in a specific geographical region. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the clinical, serum biochemical, and hematological responses during the course of experimental FMDV infection in Malnad Gidda, Hallikar (another Indian native breed), and Holstein Friesian crossbred calves. The onset of pyrexia started by day 1 in all the breeds, while peak pyrexia was observed on day 2 in Malnad Gidda and day 3 in Hallikar and crossbred HF. Peak lesions appeared on 5^th^ day in all breeds

while the healing of wound was early by 21 days post-infection in Malnad Gidda and Hallikar and 28 days in crossbred HF indicating Indian native breeds have better healing ability from infections. The serum biochemistry showed no significant change in total protein, albumin, and A: G ratio. This is in contrast to a significant decrease in serum total proteins observed after natural infection in the previous studies \[[@ref11]-[@ref13]\]. Furthermore, liver function was not affected as evidenced by unaltered AST, ALT, and GGT levels. However, normocreatinemia with increased BUN on days 3-7 was observed, which could be due to pre-renal azotemia caused by anorexia and dehydration, fever, increased catabolism, and tissue damage \[[@ref14]\].

We reported a 50-year-old man with an overlap syndrome of dermatomyositis and SLE, whose magnetic resonance image of the brain showed a rapidly increasing large tumor-like focal lesion unequally enhanced by Gd-DTPA in the left frontal lobe. Its pathological finding by the brain biopsy was fibrinoid necrosis, inflammatory cell aggregation around blood vessels and many myelin-laden macrophages with central necrosis. Although many cases of blood vessel injury are reported in CNS lupus, in this case the brain lesion partly took reversible course and neural symptoms such as paresis were slight and the lesion well responded to steroid. Moreover we considered that

Mr Watt were at various times registered treasurers of the Labour Party and therefore responsible for taking reasonable steps to check the identity of donors. The "primary evidence" for a prosecution were the Labour Party finance reports signed by the three men which wrongly identified the donors as someone other than Mr Abrahams, the CPS said. But "inconsistencies" in the evidence against the men meant it would not have been possible to prove they knew where the money came from. Repayment The evidence file was first passed to the CPS in June last year, but police were then asked to carry out additional inquiries. In a statement, Stephen O'Doherty, reviewing lawyer from the CPS Special Crime Division, said: "After taking advice from counsel and discussing the difficulties with the police I concluded thatQ: What's the meaning of the `...` parameter in a C function parameter list Possible Duplicate: C/C++: Passing variable number of arguments around According to the function declaration manner return-type function-name(parameter-list, ...) {body ...} Is the following code a kind of overloading?

candidate Ross Perot, says that if the Republicans unite around another candidate as its nominee, “then none of the machinations of the campaign will matter. All the primary opponents will be forgotten and inconsequential to the general election.’’ Take 2008, he says. Hillary Clinton, the unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination, was not a factor in November. Four years later, one-time GOP primary polling leaders such as Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and Michele Bachmann had no impact on Mitt Romney’s race against Barack Obama. Russo says that even the big question – will Trump voters stick around if Trump leaves the race? – depends heavily on whom the GOP does nominate. If Trump crashes — which has seemed imminent for months now — he may be remembered only as a cautionaryin position by means of a support 21 interposed between the carriage and the capstan rest. A given tool 24 is placed on the capstan rest by a bite holder 23, and the tool 24 such as a bite, etc., is ordinarily positioned in such a manner that a cutting surface of the tool 24 is aligned with the plane of the center of the main spindle. Accordingly, when any given instruction for tool position is issued to the motor 16, it becomes possible to travel the tool 24 to a desired position in connection with the center 0 of the main spindle.

For Wii U 6A: Project M 1B: Conclusion 2B: Sources 1A: METHODOLOGY I mainly took from ssbwiki for national results and limited my research to (mostly) national-level tournaments. The Smash 4 data compiling took an actual work schedule to finish, and that was for a year’s period. For the other games, I would be using bigger tournaments throughout multiple years. The basic methodology is shared from my Smash 4 database. I split tournaments into different “categories” depending on skill pools. These skill pools determine the number of players used, which determines the sliding scoring scale: Category 5 – Top 64 used. 1st = 16 points, 49th = 5 points. Category 4 –nor Armada meets Leffen or Hungrybox in bracket, where his Fox becomes a necessity, but it still demonstrates that Melee has a solid amount of diversity in playstyle and even its limited roster in spite of Fox’s common nature. This is mostly to emphasize that Melee sees a good amount of character playstyles and appearances despite the character numbers being similar to a game like Brawl, where a very limited cast had a stranglehold over the game. That aspect goes back to roster size. Meta Knight carries the same numbers despite the roster size increase, meaning he has the most definitive control over any character in their respective game. Even if he wasn’t winning every event, players would almost always have him in their pocket if need-be, and a massive

In the past, a tankwagon driver delivering to a list of customers would be provided with load tickets identifying the load number, the truck, the driver, the storage facility, the quantity and type/blend of product to be loaded into each truck compartment, the list of customer locations to which deliveries should be made, the location and description of each customer tank or tank inlet pipe, and the quantity and type/blend of petroleum product to be delivered into each customer tank. Retail petroleum stations usually use coded color markings painted on the cover of each underground storage tank. The markings are known by the transporter, to indicate the fuel type/blend to be put into each corresponding storage tank. The markings vary in color and shape, and may include, for example,retail outlets of the same franchisor or ownership. For example, since each driver is given several load tickets for delivery on each shift, it is possible that the driver will load the truck for the driver's second load of the day, as an example, and erroneously drive to the day's third retailer location. Although everything looks all right (in fact, it may look nearly identical to the intended location, including customer tank color-coding and numbering), the truck compartment assignments and corresponding retailer tank assignments are most likely to be wrong. In this case, the driver is likely to both create a product mix and be stopped from fully emptying the truck compartments. Customers that are wholesalers or end-users will more often have above-ground tanks that are not marked as
