[ "Q:\n\nFinancial importance of the diffusion term in Black-Scholes partial differential equation\n\nConsider the Black-Scholes equation $$\\begin{equation}\\label{eq3} \n\\frac{\\partial{V}}{\\partial{t}}+\\frac{1}{2}\\sigma^2S^2\\frac{\\partial^2{V}}{\\partial{S}^2}+(r-D)S \\frac{\\partial{V}}{\\partial{S}}-rV=0,~~~~S\\in (0,\\infty),~~~t\\in(0,T)\n\\end{equation}$$\n where $D$ is the dividend yield, $\\sigma$ is the market volatility, $r$ is the interest rate. ", "\nMy Question: \nWhat does the diffusion term $\\displaystyle \\frac{\\partial^2{V}}{\\partial{S}^2}$ mean financially in the model? ", "I know that the diffusion term comes from the application of Ito's lemma to the stochastic differential equation $$\n dS=(\\mu-D) Sdt+\\sigma S dW\n ,$$ \n where, $\\mu$ is the drift rate , $dW$ is the increment of a standard Wiener process. ", "But how can you explain the financial relevence of the diffusion term?", "\n\nA:\n\nThe Delta of the option is $\\Delta = \\dfrac{\\partial V}{\\partial S}$, which basically tells you the amount of shares you need to be short in order to perfectly hedge the option instantaneously. ", "The other term is the Gamma, $\\Gamma = \\dfrac{\\partial^2 V}{\\partial S^2}$, which measures the sensitivity of $\\Delta$ with respect to changes in $S$. It is a measure of how quickly the number of shares needed to hedge the position changes, as the underlying asset itself changes. ", "\nThis is an important notion to have, since in practice trades are not executed infinitely often throughout a finite interval, so one must have an idea of whether the hedge will still be reasonable some finite time after the trade was made. ", "As you may expect, the larger the $\\Gamma$ in absolute value, the greater the discretisation error of the $\\Delta$-hedging strategy. ", "\nThe $\\Gamma$ is also closely related to the Vega of an option, which is the sensitivity with respect to the change in volatility, $\\nu = \\dfrac{\\partial V}{\\partial S}$. You can check that for the Black-Scholes differential operator $L_{BS}$, one has:\n\\begin{equation}\nL_{BS} \\nu = -\\sigma S^2 \\dfrac{\\partial^2 V}{\\partial S^2} = - \\sigma^2 S^2 \\Gamma,\n\\end{equation}\nso that $- \\sigma^2 S^2 \\Gamma$ acts as a source for the Vega.", "\n\n" ]

[ "1. ", "Field of the Invention\nThe present invention is related to solid state storage and particularly to solid state storage cells with a phase change material memory element.", "\n2. ", "Background Description\nSolid state, phase change materials that are chalcogen (Group VI elements such as sulfur (S), selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te)) alloys with at least one of germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), silicon (Si) and antimony (Sb) are known as chalcogenides and are well known. ", "Chalcogenides exist in at least two different classifiable solid states or phases. ", "The most extreme two states can be classified simply as amorphous and crystalline states with other less easily discernable states ranging between those two states. ", "The amorphous state has a disordered atomic structure and the crystalline state generally is polycrystalline. ", "Each phase has very different electrical properties. ", "In its amorphous state, the material behaves as an insulator, i.e., an open circuit; in its crystalline state, the same material behaves resistively, as a p-type semiconductor. ", "The resistivity of these materials varies in between amorphous and crystalline states.", "\nIn particular, when heat is applied to some phase change chalcogenides, the material switches phases from one (e.g., amorphous phase) state to a second (e.g., crystalline phase) state. ", "The transitions between these states is selectively reversible with heat, i.e., the phase change material may be set/reset. ", "As with anything that has two or more discernable and selectable states, each of the 2 stable states can be designated as a logic one and the other a logic zero. ", "Thus, phase change material has found use in storage devices and particularly, for non-volatile storage, e.g., as a memory cell storage media. ", "In addition, multiple bit memory elements have been made using the intermediate states inherent in the variation in resistivity between amorphous and crystalline.", "\nTypically, controlled heat must be precisely provided to the phase change storage media to effect reversible transitions between amorphous and crystalline states and back. ", "Normally, such heat is provided using resistive heating. ", "Unfortunately, a relatively of large current is needed for each memory element to heat the phase change material. ", "In particular, resetting the phase change material may require heating the crystalline material to its melting point, generally above 600° C. Thus, it maybe difficult on one hand to provide sufficient localized heat to raise the crystalline phase change material to its melting point and, on the other hand, to avoid accidentally heating other adjacent cells to the phase change set point and inadvertently setting adjacent cells.", "\nOne prior approach to localize heating in phase change switching is to minimize the phase change material contact area. ", "Unfortunately, reducing the contact area normally increases cost, which is inversely proportional to the size of the contact. ", "In particular, attaining a contact size below the minimum photolithographic image size for a particular technology complicates the process significantly and, correspondingly, increases cost. ", "Further, normally, reducing contact size, reduces the heat delivery capability and increases resistance/reduces current delivered to the phase change material; all of which interferes with setting/resetting the material rather than enhancing it.", "\nThus, there is a need for improved and very localized or focused heat delivery to phase change material in memory cells." ]

", "This was in maybe my second game with them. ", "I asked Ray what he was doing out there. ", "He said, ‘I have a message for you.’ ", "I said, ‘From who?’ ", "He said, ‘From your infield. ", "They want you to throw the ball. ", "They’re falling asleep.’", "\n\n“He threw in a few expletives along the way, so I figured that working quickly was how they liked to do in Baltimore. ", "It worked. ", "When I started to work more quickly, I became more consistent. ", "It was easier for me to repeat my motion, and my fielders were on their toes.”", "\n\nOn setting up hitters: “Ray also mentioned that I had a tendency to throw all of my pitches to every hitter, in every sequence. ", "I was giving away certain things I didn’t have to give away. ", "Ray said to take my fastball and one other pitch — usually my curveball — and establish them first. ", "Then I could slowly integrate my other pitches into the performance. ", "I threw a slider and a cutter, and three speeds of a curveball.

", "There’s no reason to give away how you’re going to get him out with runners on base in the late innings.", "\n\n“Another thing I learned is to always go to my strength until the hitter showed me that he was better than my strength. ", "My strength was inside fastballs to a right-handed hitter, outside to a left-hander, and then breaking balls away to both. ", "All things being equal, I was going to go there before I went to the scouting report. ", "Ideally, my strength is his weakness and then he doesn’t get many hits against me.", "\n\n“The avocation is called ‘pitching.’ ", "If you’re calling it ‘throwing,’ then you can throw as hard as you can, early, and try to blow everybody away. ", "With ‘pitching,’ you don’t go max effort every pitch. ", "You’re setting guys up for the third time through the order.”", "\n\nOn third time through the order: “Pitchers were actually expected to go deep into games in those days. ", "Now they’re expected to go as hard as they can, as long as they can. ", "They’ll usually come out by the middle of sixth inning, leaving their bullpen to get the rest of the outs. ", "That’s one of the reasons starters don’t have as many wins as they could — they’re not going deep enough into games to do that.", "\n\n“You need to learn how to go through the order multiple times. ", "Let’s say you try to shoot free throws in the NBA without ever practicing free throws. ", "If you’re not expected to make free throws, you’re probably not going to be good at it. ", "You have to convince guys that there’s a benefit to going a third time through, and hopefully a fourth time through, the order.

", "If you struggle the first two times, you’re really going to struggle the third time. ", "Plus, pitchers today aren’t used to going through the order a third time. ", "We’ve seen a couple of guys … Reynaldo Lopez has fantastic numbers third time through. ", "He’s a guy whose velocity doesn’t diminish. ", "He’s still throwing 96-95 mph late in games. ", "Extra velocity helps a pitcher get away with a few more mistakes than he would at 93.”", "\n\nOn velocity and max effort: “Earlier in his career, Justin Verlander threw 98-99 mph — but he would throw 93 when the game started. ", "Bob Gibson did the same thing. ", "You might be able to pull the ball against Gibson in the first inning, but he faces that same guy in the ninth inning, maybe with the game on the line, and now he’s throwing 98-99 mph. ", "He had that in the first inning, he just didn’t want to show it. ", "Verlander doesn’t show you his big fastball early unless he’s in trouble. ", "He understands what pitching is all about. ", "He keeps that 98 in his back pocket until he needs it.", "\n\n“I think one reason we’ve seen (Stephen) Strasburg go through a lot of arm injuries is that he was always max effort on every pitch. ", "Young pitchers with really good arms go through this max-effort phase. ", "If they don’t grow out of it, they end up getting hurt. ", "If they do grow out of it, maybe they can have a long career.", "\n\n“You’ll see a lot of max effort guys flying off the mound. ", "When you’re flying off the mound to one side or the other, you can’t field your position. ", "Before we saw all these massive shifts, the biggest hole in the infield was back up the middle. ", "It used to behoove pitchers to be able to field. ", "I’ve seen fewer good-fielding pitchers as they’ve gone to the max-effort approach. ", "I prefer the Jim Kaat, Greg Maddux types. ", "You don’t have to win Gold Gloves all the time, but squaring off your delivery keeps you centered and allows you to make plays defensively. ", "It also helps you have a long career, because if you’re not max effort you’re not putting extra strain on your arm.”", "\n\nOn splitters and keeping pitchers healthy: “I think a lot of pitchers will learn the lesson of Ohtani, who is on the shelf and looking at Tommy John surgery. ", "It’s the splitter. ", "A splitter is destructive. ", "There aren’t a lot of guys who can thrive with it over the long haul. ", "Roger Clemens threw it. ", "Jack Morris threw it. ", "There are a few guys in history who have thrown it well. ", "But then you have Roger Craig, who completely decimated the San Francisco organization by teaching everybody splitters. ", "The entire pitching staff broke down. ", "It’s a wonderful pitch to get people out, but it takes velocity away from you and is ultimately destructive. ", "If you want to shorten your career, throw splitters.", "\n\n“We’ve had a healthy pitching staff here in Chicago. ", "We have a very good pitching coach (Don Cooper) and the scouts place a lot of value on arm action. ", "An exception was made with Chris Sale, and he’s held together outside of an elbow thing earlier on. ", "For the most part the organization has been a pitching organization, and yes, we’ve had fewer guys break down than most. ", "Some of that might be a matter of luck, but it’s also a matter of scouting.”", "\n\nOn Reynaldo Lopez, Carlos Rodon, and Lucas Giolito: “Reynaldo’s ceiling is to be a No. ", "1 starter on a very good baseball team. ", "His stuff is that good. ", "He’s a very young pitcher with a lot of growth in front of him, but one thing you can’t teach is a great arm. ", "He’s also got a sense of competitiveness that you can’t teach. ", "He does have a tendency to throw flat fastballs, because he’s kind of a short-armer, and occasionally he’ll open up too quickly in his delivery. ", "But he’s got the fastball, a good slider, a really good changeup for a young pitcher. ", "I think Reynaldo’s upside is unlimited.", "\n\n“Reynaldo doesn’t have the best stuff on the team. ", "That would be Carlos Rodon — when he’s completely healthy. ", "Rodon’s slider is un-hittable. ", "If he and Reynaldo stay healthy, we’re looking at two guys who can pitch of the top of anybody’s rotation.", "\n\n“(Giolito) can be good, but he dropped three mph in his velocity. ", "I don’t know why. ", "He’s got a very good curveball; he doesn’t like to throw it. ", "I don’t know why. ", "He has a tendency to fall off the mound and yank the ball three feet wide of the plate. ", "I don’t know why. ", "I’m not his pitching coach; I don’t have to know why.”", "\n\nOn strikeouts and sinkers: “Are strikeouts overrated? ", "Tell Nolan Ryan that. ", "Tell Tom Seaver. ", "Tell Don Sutton. ", "If your stuff is good, you’re going to strike out a lot of guys. ", "If it’s not, you generally won’t. ", "Guys who don’t have big fastballs or hard breaking balls … they call that ‘pitching to contact,’ which is a pseudonym for ‘your stuff is marginal, so you better hit your spots.’ ", "There are also sinkerballers. ", "Very few sinkerballers strike out a lot of guys. ", "They live and die with ground balls.", "\n\n“Is the sinker dying? ", "Maybe, but in baseball everything dies and then it comes back. ", "It’s back to the future. ", "Dylan Covey throws two-seamers that sink and run, and I don’t think he’s going to abandon that any time soon. ", "If a two-seamer is good enough, there’s no reason to go away from it.", "\n\n“There is an infatuation with four-seam fastballs that stay up in the zone, and this year umpires are calling a higher strike, bringing that pitch back into play. ", "Eventually, what’s going to happen is everybody will throw that same pitch, hitters will adjust to it, and somebody will come along and teach the true sinker — teach it well — and pitchers will throw that again.”", "\n\nOn openers and fifth starters: “Is pitching the same animal it’s always been? ", "To some people it is — to some coaches it is — but more times than not, it’s not. ", "You have organizations like Tampa Bay using a reliever to start the game. ", "Many times it’s the closer, so who is going to close? ", "You need a closer at the end of the game. ", "If starting pitches could close, they probably wouldn’t be starting pitchers — they’d be closers. ", "Let’s see how this experiment goes. ", "I don’t think it’s going to work out very well in the long run.", "\n\n“The six-man rotation, to me, seems stupid. ", "I believe that some forward-thinking organization is eventually going to go back to a four-man. ", "They haven’t used that since the Mets came up with the five-man in ’69. ", "I think you should.", "\n\n“I did a breakdown of pitching from 2001-2005, and No. ", "5 starters had 6.4 wins per season. ", "They had 8.6 losses. ", "Why have a five? ", "If you’re only going to have guys go into the sixth inning, and that’s it, why not go with four starters? ", "Then put another quality reliever in your bullpen. ", "That’s where the game is going anyway. ", "It’s a bullpen game, so why not have one more pen-man and one less starter?", "\n\n“Of course, what it ultimately comes down to is that you need good pitchers. ", "If you don’t have good pitchers, they’re going to get blown out regardless of what they do.

[ "The Mighty Mighty BossToneS – While We’re At It (Album Review)\n\n50 SHARES Share Tweet\n\nFenway Park and the Red Sox. ", "The Celtics. ", "A marathon. ", "Some tea party in 1773. ", "The Mighty Mighty BossToneS. Boston is home to its fair share of institutions, and no stranger to Ska Punk mayhem. ", "Fortunately for everyone needing an excuse to raise a glass or order a pint, the long-awaited While We’re At It arrives Friday, June 15, 2018, thanks to Big Rig Records.", "\n\nYou do not dare name your group The Mighty Mighty BosstoneS (or, informally, The BossToneS) and not hail from Beantown, no. ", "The group formed here in 1983 and have been crafting some killer Ska Punk ever since. ", "The nonet’s 1989 debut album, Devil’s Night Out, kicked off a party that has been running for nearly three decades and eight additional albums, ranging from 1992’s More Noise and Other Disturbances to 1997’s Let’s Face It – which contained the hit-single “The Impression That I Get” – to 2011’s The Magic of Youth. ", "Sure, there were lineup changes, along with a slot opening for fellow Bostonians Aerosmith, hosting an episode of MTV’s 120 Minutes, performances at Lollapalooza (and Elmopalooza) and recurrent trips to the Vans Warped Tour, and, of course, parties, including the band’s annual Hometown Throwdown music festival in, no surprise here, Boston. ", "Hell, December 28th is Mighty Mighty BossToneS Day in Beantown. ", "How Punk Rock is that?", "\n\nNow, it has been seven long years since The Mighty Mighty BossToneS – Vocalist Dicky Barrett, Guitarist Lawrence Katz, Bassist Joe Gittleman, Drummer Joe Sirois, Keyboardist John Goetchius, Saxophonist Leon Silva, Tenor Saxophonist Tim Burton, Trombonist Chris Rhodes, and Percussionist/Dancer Ben Carr – have put music to plastic. ", "With While We’re At It, the 9-piece group (or nonet) return to cement their title as the best dressed band and continue their work as progenitors of the brass-infused, high-energy Ska and Hardcore Punk (Ska-core) sound. ", "The 14-track collection sees the band casting an analytical eye on the world around us, but ignoring party lines and going instead for generalized commentary aimed at making the world a better place, one brass-led twist at a time.", "\n\nWhile We’re At It begins with the upbeat Ska dance-a-thon of “Green Bay, Wisconsin,” which never sounds like cheese but instead tells the tale of one Skankin’ (the dance, people!), ", "Vespa-riding gal. ", "Horns introduce “The Constant,” the tic-toc of the clock of life, while the race is the human one in “Wonderful Day for the Race,” a driving celebration of being alive, fraught with peace, love, and good feels galore.", "\n\nThe BossToneS take it a step down for the measured-pace of “Unified,” a hope for some understanding and compassion, unity in a world that is sorely divided. ", "The end result is a song that seeks to bring people together, and yet never feels preachy, never draws party-lines nor swims too far into sociopolitical commentary. ", "The opposite side of the coin here is “Divide,” a glance toward the criticism and unpredictability that can drive a wedge between us. ", "But, as they emphasize, “it’s only a song,” a short little ditty, at that.", "\n\n“Closer to Nowhere” sets a perfect Skanking pace before the band dip their toes into the island sands of “Walked Like a Ghost,” the tale of a man who lost all he believed in, along with his life, and ultimately a lament on the times when the world was a much better place. ", "The band truly shines here, displaying their cohesive and stellar musicianship that bolsters their oft lyrical storytelling. ", "Back to the upbeat dancing pace, “The West Ends” questions why anyone would want to gentrify the West End when it’s already the best end and shaking their fists mightily, they demand to be left alone. ", "Damn you, urban renewal!", "\n\nSome groovy bass work weaves throughout the core of “Here We Are,” a look around, a ponderance as to how we got here. ", "Before it is too late, something has to change, and this sociopolitical eye-opener sets those realizations to a dangerously catchy, hip-shaking beat. ", "Meanwhile, our fame-chasing consumerist world is a dog-eat-dog hypocrisy, and “The Mad Dash” expresses a gently catchy sway full of shame for our contributions to this endless, abysmal rat race of stagnant humanity.", "\n\nAlways, it is important to admit when you are not in the right, and if you can do it with horns and a hip-swaying melody, kudos to you! “", "Absolutely Wrong” confesses that we can not all be correct, and for this, the truth is forever elusive; consensus would be the ideal, so, you know, to progress our current state of affairs, you might have to learn to admit when you are in the wrong. ", "Then, “In Honor Of” appreciates and tosses out some backhanded love, just because. ", "Next, they explore the idea that there are wolves everywhere, radicals and refugees looking to control you are at the heart of the cautionary tale of “Hugo’s Wife,” proof that you can overcome these travails and save yourself.", "\n\nUltimately, they lean a little more toward a sassy, jazzy lounge act on the first portion of “After the Music Is Over,” a fiercely stripped-down album closer that conjures flappers working the stages of smoky city dens. ", "Though, with time, the song builds back into your standard BossTones’ fare, waving a theatrical goodbye to listeners as the album comes to its triumphant conclusion. ", "Fourteen tracks to quench your seven year itch!", "\n\nOn While We’re At It, The Mighty Mighty BossToneS open their eyes to the curiously damaged world around them. ", "Sure, they dance and smile, shake and shimmy, but they also point an aware finger at the shifty goings-on of 2018. ", "The result is a collection that sounds like a Skanking good time, and yet has a deeper level of storytelling and conscious commentary. ", "A perfect blend that will open some eyes while inspiring others to be better and be brighter. ", "Sometimes, the best curative is a good dance party, you know? ", "This band is clearly an institution for a reason and very happy to throw it down with the best dressed boys in Boston. ", "CrypticRock give The Mighty Mighty BossToneS’ While We’re At It 4 of 5 stars.", "\n\nPurchase While We’re At It :" ]

", "The phrase \"talk to you later\" (abbreviated *ttyl*) often means that conversational partners will continue \"talking\" with their fingers. ", "When they do, they are likely to use the QWERTY keyboard. ", "The QWERTY layout was invented in 1868 (Logan & Crump, [@CR8]) and later sold to Remington to replace their alphabetical layout, which caused neighboring keys to jam during fast typing. ", "QWERTY was designed to separate frequently used letter pairs to opposite sides of the keyboard, avoiding mechanical clashes. ", "Additionally, QWERTY placed the letters in \"T-y-p-e W-r-i-t-e-r\" conveniently on the top row of keys, to help salesmen tap out what was, at one time, a brand name (David, [@CR5]).", "\n\nThe QWERTY keyboard is now everywhere in our culture. ", "Coffee shop chatter is being replaced by the sound of clicking keystrokes. ", "Smart phones and laptops let people type messages virtually anywhere. ", "Routinely, language is produced without speech. ", "When linguists and psychologists talk about the *articulators* used in language production, they usually mean parts of the vocal tract. ", "But increasingly, the articulators that produce our day-to-day language are the fingers.", "\n\nThe way words are articulated with the mouth is related to their meaning. ", "Although many sound--meaning mappings are arbitrary (de Saussure, [@CR6]), there are aspects of meaning that appear to be nonarbitrarily linked to the configuration of the vocal tract articulators used to produce them (Ohala, [@CR10]). ", "Here, we propose a link between the meanings of words and the action of the *manual* articulators used for typing them. ", "Because patterns of articulation are not independent of meaning, typing may introduce a new mechanism by which semantic changes in language can arise.", "\n\nTyping is a special kind of motor action. ", "Performing motor actions fluently generally leads to positive feelings and evaluations (Oppenheimer, [@CR11]; Ping, Dhillon, & Beilock, [@CR12]). ", "Therefore, if letters on one side of the keyboard can be typed more fluently than letters on the other side, motor fluency could mediate relationships between the locations of letters on the QWERTY keyboard and the valence of the words they compose (i.e., the positivity or negativity of their meanings).", "\n\nThe QWERTY keyboard is asymmetrical: There are more letters on the left of the midline than on the right. ", "Therefore, striking one key among its neighbors should be more difficult on the left side of the keyboard than on the right side, due to greater response competition (Ridderinkhof, van den Wildenberg, Segalowitz, & Carter, [@CR14]). ", "This proposal is supported by reaction time data showing that when participants are presented with letters in isolation and are asked to press the corresponding keys, they are faster to type letters from the right side of the keyboard than from the left (Logan, [@CR7]). ", "Since this left--right asymmetry is built into the keyboard, it should affect skilled and unskilled typists alike.", "\n\nIf letters on the right of the keyboard are easier to type, this should lead to positive feelings when people type words composed of more right-side letters and negative feelings when they type words composed of more left-side letters. ", "Associations between typing fluency and emotion could cause \"right-side words\" to acquire more positive valences and \"left-side words\" more negative valences. ", "People who know how to type implicitly activate the positions of keys when they read words (Logan & Crump, [@CR8]; Rieger, [@CR15]). ", "Therefore, typing experience could influence the valence of words that people read or speak even when people are not typing, as has been shown previously for evaluations of meaningless letter strings (e.g., Beilock & Holt, [@CR1]; Van den Bergh, Vrana, & Eelen, [@CR16]).", "\n\nHere, we explored the relationship between QWERTY key position and word meaning in three experiments.

", "We proposed that asymmetries in the distribution of letters over the left and right sides of the QWERTY keyboard should lead to more response competition among letters on the left of the keyboard and, therefore, to greater fluency in typing letters on the right. ", "In turn, letters that are easier to type should come to carry more positive associations (and letters that are harder to type more negative associations) and should subtly influence the emotional valence of the words they compose.", "\n\nThis proposal is broadly consistent with previous research showing influences of typing fluency on preference judgments for meaningless letter strings (e.g., Beilock & Holt, [@CR1]; Van den Bergh et al., [", "@CR16]). ", "However, previous studies have focused on different sources of typing fluency, such as finger repetition. ", "For example, skilled typists prefer pairs of letters typed with different fingers (\"f--j\") over pairs typed with the same finger during standard touch typing (\"f--v\"; Beilock & Holt, [@CR1]). ", "In exploratory analyses, we found no significant relationship between the number of finger repetitions in a word and its valence, nor was there any relationship between valence and the number of hand alternations used when typing a word---for any of the corpora we analyzed.", "\n\nThese other sources of typing fluency are orthogonal to the number of right-side and left-side letters in a word, and the effects we report here remain significant when both finger repetition and hand alternation are controlled. ", "Further investigation would be needed to determine why our variable of interest, the RSA, predicted the valence of words reliably, whereas these other fluency-related variables did not. ", "We note, however, that finger repetition (and to a lesser extent, hand alternation) should produce fluency effects only in skilled touch typists, who use the prescribed finger--key mappings. ", "We have no information about the typing skill of the raters for the five corpora we analyzed, but we assume that it varied among raters. ", "Importantly, if the QWERTY effect depends on asymmetries built into the keyboard per se, it should obtain for all frequent QWERTY users, regardless of their typing skill, typing style, or handedness.", "\n\nAlternative accounts of the QWERTY effect {#Sec12}\n-----------------------------------------\n\nThe fact that we found no differences in the strength of the QWERTY effect across English, Spanish, and Dutch argues against two alternative explanations for this effect. ", "First, if the effect had been found in only one language, it could have been due to accidents of sound symbolism (Ohala, [@CR10]). ", "In any single language, it could happen by chance that words with higher RSAs are more positive, due to sound--valence associations. ", "But despite some commonalities, English, Dutch, and Spanish have different phonological systems and different letter-to-sound mappings. ", "To maintain this skeptical alternative, it would be necessary to posit that RSA correlated with *different* letter-sound--valence mappings in each of these three languages, with strengths that did not differ across languages.", "\n\nSecond, since the inventor of QWERTY was an English speaker, if we had found the QWERTY effect in English alone, it would seem plausible that implicit space--valence mappings had shaped the QWERTY layout, and not vice versa. ", "People implicitly associate positive ideas with their dominant side of space and negative ideas with their nondominant side, causing right-handers to place positive things on their right side and negative things on their left (Casasanto, [@CR3], [@CR4]). ", "There is about a 90% chance that the QWERTY inventor was right-handed, so implicit space--valence associations could have biased him to place letters that carried positive associations on the right of the keyboard and letters with negative associations on the left. ", "Presumably, however, such implicit associations would be based on the peculiar roles these letters play in English words or sounds. ", "The finding of similar QWERTY effects across languages suggests that, even if English-based letter-space--valence associations influenced QWERTY's design, QWERTY has now \"infected\" typers of other languages with similar associations.", "\n\nOn a third alternative account, the QWERTY effect could result from general effects of manual motor fluency, which are not directly related to typing. ", "The implicit associations between valence and left--right space described above (see Casasanto, [@CR4], for a review) are established through patterns of fluent and disfluent actions with one's dominant and nondominant hands. ", "These associations then exert broad influences on judgments, even for abstract entities that can never be seen or touched. ", "In principle, the QWERTY effect could reflect the general preference for things on the right side of space found in the right-handed majority.", "\n\nThe finding that left-handers showed a trend to associate positive valence with letters on the *right*, rather than the left, argues against this possibility but does not rule it out entirely. ", "Words meanings are normative. ", "Variation in the way words are used is constrained by the community of language users, which is composed mostly of right-handers. ", "The valence of words, therefore, may be shaped by fluency-based preferences in right-handers; left-handers' implicit preferences are overruled. ", "Such normative influences are evident in linguistic metaphors and idioms (e.g., all English speakers must agree that the correct answer is the \"right\" answer---even if they are left-handed).

Diane Russell, D-Portland, attracted 35 cosponsors but did not gain the endorsement of the Legislature’s Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee. ", "The House and Senate subsequently voted down a follow-up proposal that would have put the legalization issue before voters on statewide ballots in the fall.", "\n\n“Portland voters will get the chance to make history this November through adopting this ordinance,” said Tom MacMillan, chair of the Portland Green Independent Committee, in a statement. “", "The Maine Legislature failed again this year to end marijuana prohibition, and this ordinance begins that process.

", "They say pot use should be allowed, regulated and taxed the same way as alcohol, which was prohibited in the 1920s in what is largely looked back on as a failed initiative.", "\n\nOpponents of the move, including the Maine Chiefs of Police Association, argue that the step would exacerbate substance abuse problems that feed other crimes, and that overseeing regulation and distribution of pot would be an expensive and time-consuming task for overburdened state agencies.", "\n\nEfforts to defang enforcement of marijuana laws in Portland in the past have fallen short. ", "In 2011, activists gathered signatures on a petition seeking to make pot possession offenses the lowest enforcement priority for Portland police. ", "But despite getting more than 2,100 signatures on the petition — 600 more than necessary to get a spot on the local ballot — the city clerk’s office found the document was invalid because only about 1,400 of the names were from verified Portland residents.", "\n\nIn 2005, voters in Denver passed a law making it legal to possess a small amount of marijuana. ", "It the first major U.S. city to do so. ", "In 2012, Colorado joined Washington as the first states to legalize recreational marijuana use.", "\n\nMaine is one of 18 states in which marijuana can be legally used for medical reasons, prescribed to patients to fight chronic pain, among other ailments." ]

", "The Archaic Period of Greece began with a sudden and brilliant flash of art and philosophy on the coast of Anatolia. ", "In the 6th century BC, Miletus was the site of origin of the Greek philosophical (and scientific) tradition, when Thales, followed by Anaximander and Anaximenes (known collectively, to modern scholars, as the Milesian School) began to speculate about the material constitution of the world, and to propose speculative naturalistic (as opposed to traditional, supernatural) explanations for various natural phenomena.", "\n\nMiletus is the birthplace of the Hagia Sophia's architect (and inventor of the flying buttress) Isidore of Miletus and Thales, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher (and one of the Seven Sages of Greece) in c. 624 BC.", "\n\nGeography \n\nThe ruins appear on satellite maps at 37°31.8'N 27°16.7'E, about 3 km north of Balat and 3 km east of Batıköy in Aydın Province, Turkey.", "\n\nIn antiquity the city possessed a Harbor at the southern entry of a large bay, on which two more of the traditional twelve Ionian cities stood: Priene and Myus.

", "This means that, depending on the method of introduction into the body, a mere 90–270 nanograms of botulinum toxin could be enough to kill an average 90 kg (200 lb) person, and four kilograms of the toxin, if evenly distributed, would be more than enough to kill the entire human population of the world.", "\n\nFood-borne botulism usually results from ingestion of food that has become contaminated with spores (such as a perforated can) in an anaerobic environment, allowing the spores to germinate and grow. ", "The growing (vegetative) bacteria produce toxin. ", "It is the ingestion of preformed toxin that causes botulism, not the ingestion of the spores or the vegetative bacteria. ", "Infant and wound botulism both result from infection with spores, which subsequently germinate, resulting in production of toxin and the symptoms of botulism.", "\n\nProper refrigeration at temperatures below 3 °C (38 °F) retards the growth of Clostridium botulinum. ", "The organism is also susceptible to high salt and low pH levels. ", "The toxin itself is rapidly destroyed by heat, such as in thorough cooking. ", "On the other hand, the spores that produce the toxin are heat-tolerant and will survive boiling water for an extended period of time. ", "Fortunately, ingestion of the spores is safe, except in infants, as the highly oxygenated and highly acidic environment of an adult human digestive system prevents the spores from growing and producing the botulinum toxin.[citation needed]\n\nMedical and Cosmetic Uses Although botulinum toxin is a lethal, naturally occurring substance, it can be used as an effective and powerful medication. ", "Researchers discovered in the 1950s that injecting overactive muscles with minute quantities of botulinum toxin type-A would result in decreased muscle activity by blocking the release of acetylcholine from the neuron by preventing the vesicle where the acetylcholine is stored from binding to the membrane where the neurotransmitter can be released. ", "This will effectively weaken the muscle for a period of three to four months.", "\n\nIn cosmetic applications, a Botox injection, consisting of a small dose of botulinum toxin, can be used to prevent development of wrinkles by paralyzing facial muscles. ", "As of 2007, it is the most common cosmetic operation, with 4.6 million procedures in the United States, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. ", "Qualifications for Botox injectors vary by county, state and country. ", "Botox cosmetic providers include dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic spa physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, nurses and physician assistants. ", "The wrinkle preventing effect of Botox normally lasts for approximately three to four months, but can last up to six months.", "\n\nIn addition to its cosmetic applications, Botox is currently used in the treatment of spasms and dystonias, by weakening involved muscles, for the 60-70 day effective period of the drug. ", "The main conditions treated with botulinum toxin are:\n\n1. ", "Cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis) (a neuromuscular disorder involving the head and neck)2. ", "Blepharospasm (excessive blinking)3. ", "Severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)4. ", "Strabismus (Squints)5.

", "The analgesic effects are not dependent on changes in muscle tone.7. ", "Migraine and other headache disorders, although the evidence is conflicting in this indication8.

In addition, there is evidence that Botox may aid in weight loss by increasing the gastric emptying time.", "\n\nLinks to Deaths In September 2005, a paper published in the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology reported from the FDA saying that use of Botox has resulted in 28 deaths between 1989 and 2003, though none were attributed to cosmetic use.", "\n\nOn February 8, 2008, the FDA announced that Botox has \"been linked in some cases to adverse reactions, including respiratory failure and death, following treatment of a variety of conditions using a wide range of doses,\" due to its ability to spread to areas distant from the site of the injection. ", "In April 2009, the FDA updated its mandatory boxed warning cautioning that the effects of the botulinum toxin may spread from the area of injection to other areas of the body, causing symptoms similar to those of botulism.", "\n\nIn January 2009, the Canadian government warned that botox can have the adverse effect of spreading to other parts of the body, which could cause muscle weakness, swallowing difficulties, pneumonia, speech disorders and breathing problems.", "\n\nSeveral cases of death have been linked to the use of other chemicals as substitutes for Botox, one of the causes of death listed on the Spike TV show, 1000 Ways to Die.", "\n\nSide Effects Side effects, which are generally minor and temporary, can be predicted from the mode of action (muscle paralysis) and chemical structure (protein) of the molecule, resulting broadly speaking in two major areas of side effects: paralysis of the wrong muscle group and allergic reaction. ", "Bruising at the site of injection is a side effect not of the toxin, but rather the mode of administration. ", "In cosmetic use, this can result in inappropriate facial expression such as drooping eyelid, double vision, uneven smile, or loss of the ability to close eyes. ", "This will wear off in around six weeks. ", "Bruising is prevented by the clinician applying pressure to the injection site, but may still occur, and will last around 7–11 days. ", "When injecting the masseter muscle of the jaw, loss of muscle function will result in a loss or reduction of power to chew solid foods. ", "All cosmetic treatments are of limited duration, and can be as short a period as six weeks, but usually the effective period lasts from two to three months. ", "At the extremely low doses used medicinally, botulinum toxin has a very low degree of human and animal toxicity.", "\n\nOther adverse events from cosmetic use include headaches, dysphagia, flu-like syndromes, blurred vision, dry mouth, fatigue, allergic reactions and swelling or redness at the injection site.", "\n\nThere has been a petition by Public Citizen to the FDA requesting regulatory action concerning the possible spread of botulinum toxin (Botox, Myobloc) from the site of injection to other parts of the body.", "\n\nIndividuals who are pregnant, have egg allergies or a neuromuscular disorder are advised to avoid Botox.", "\n\nAs published in Forbes and originally published in the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science, Botox takes away or dampens the emotional feelings in a particular situation. ", "That may be due to less interaction between facial muscle movement and brain. ", "According to David Neal, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California, “if muscular signals from the face to the brain are dampened, you’re less able to read emotions.”", "\n\nOne way botox might affect emotional feelings is by dampening the relay of signals from the face to the amygdala and brainstem centers for autonomic arousal.", "\n\nThe mental effects of botox may extend beyond emotional feelings to the ability to understand language about emotions. ", "An experimental study suggests that cosmetic use of botulinum toxin for treatment of glabellar lines affects human cognition. ", "As reported in the L.A. Times, Havas and colleagues (Havas, Glenberg, Gutowski, Lucarelli, & Davidson, 2010) asked subjects to read emotional (angry, sad, happy) sentences before and two weeks after botox injections in the corrugator supercilii muscle used in frowning. ", "Reading times for angry and sad sentences were longer after botox injection than before injection, while reading times for happy sentences were unchanged. ", "This finding suggests that facial muscle paralysis has a selective effect in human cognition, and shows that botox hinders the ability to understand language. ", "According to the lead researcher in this study, \"botox causes a kind of mild, temporary, cognitive blindness to information in the world, social information about the emotions of other people.\"", "\n\nThe heavy chain of the toxin is particularly important for targeting the toxin to specific types of axon terminals.

", "It would, therefore, be predicted that blockade of 5-HT(1A) somatodendritic autoreceptors in the midbrain raphe nuclei should produce anxiogenic-like effects. ", "To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of WAY-100635 microinfusions (0, 1.0 or 3.0 microg in 0.1 microl) into the dorsal (DRN) or median (MRN) raphe nuclei on behaviours displayed by male Swiss-Webster mice in the elevated plus-maze. ", "As this test is sensitive to prior experience, the effects of intra-raphe infusions were examined both in maze-naive and maze-experienced subjects. ", "Sessions were videotaped and subsequently scored for conventional indices of anxiety (open arm avoidance) and locomotor activity (closed arm entries), as well as a range of ethological measures (e.g. risk assessment). ", "In maze-naive mice, intra-MRN (but not intra-DRN) infusions of WAY-100635 (3.0 microg) increased open arm exploration and reduced risk assessment. ", "Importantly, these effects could not be attributed to a general reduction in locomotor activity. ", "A similar, though somewhat weaker, pattern of behavioural change was observed in maze-experienced animals. ", "This unexpected anxiolytic effect of 5-HT(1A) autoreceptor blockade in the MRN cannot be accounted for by a disinhibition of 5-HT release in forebrain targets (e.g. hippocampus and amygdala), where stimulation of postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors enhances anxiety-like responses. ", "However, as the MRN also projects to the periaqueductal gray matter (PAG), an area known to be sensitive to the anti-aversive effects of 5-HT, it is argued that present results may reflect increased 5-HT release at this crucial midbrain locus within the neural circuitry of defense." ]

", "The eight years of research and development that have been conducted and tested in the Nürburgring race among other tests have proven that it is easy to incorporate the hydrogen technology.", "\n\nHybrid Hydrogen System \nThe Hybrid Hydrogen system runs parallel to a conventional petrol injection system. ", "Alset Global designed this architecture that it can be installed in any vehicle with minimum modification to the existing system. ", "The shift between the petrol and the hydrogen is achieved by the software developed by Alset Global. ", "This software controls the ECU of the vehicle and shifts between the petrol and hydrogen fuels. ", "The software ensures that the vehicle's benefits from the hydrogen are at its maximum level without risking the journey to run out of hydrogen or petrol fuels. ", "The main reasoning behind this system is to make drivers comfortable with the range of hydrogen and ensure them that petrol fuel can be supplied to the system at any time. ", "Until the infrastructure for hydrogen filling stations is totally established, Alset Global's fuel switch system will increase the confidence and serenity of drivers who wish to make long road trips.", "\n\nUnique Character \nThe unique character of the Hydrogen Hybrid system is the flexibility of using both petrol and hydrogen fuel depending on the driving conditions. ", "The other hydrogen systems for internal combustion engines that have been developed by other automobile companies are not capable of using both petrol and hydrogen fuel at the same time. ", "Hence, this characteristic of the Hydrogen Hybrid system differentiates Alset Global from the others.

", "Nevertheless, the details of this technology are not revealed to public. ", "Alset Global holds various patents for the future implications of this system and therefore the information is concealed.", "\n\nIdea Behind the Technology \nAlset Global developed this technology after identifying a gap in the hydrogen market. ", "Indeed, hydrogen fuel cell technology is expensive to develop and a hydrogen infrastructure has not been established yet. ", "Because the fuel cell technology is limited to hydrogen, it cannot be mass-produced without adequate infrastructure. ", "Furthermore, even if the infrastructure was to be fully established, the existing conventional vehicles running on internal combustion engines would not be able to benefit from the zero emission hydrogen technology. ", "Today, internal combustion engines represent 99.9% of the market. ", "Therefore, Alset Global's alternative system is needed to transform and improve conventional vehicles and ultimately benefit the automotive industry from the developing hydrogen infrastructure.", "\n\nDriving Experience \nAlset Global conducted a special test drive in Graz for the Hydrogen Hybrid technology. ", "Based on people who drove with this technology, the experience running on a mixture of hydrogen and petrol compared to petrol alone was not significantly different. ", "As the system works with the same principle of the petrol internal combustion engine, driving experience does not alter due to an alternative fuel. ", "Indeed, Alset mentioned that the engine sound is nearly the same as the petrol engine. ", "Therefore, unlike other alternative fuel technologies, the automotive makers do not have to provide an artificial engine noise for the drivers.", "\n\nDriving Safety \nThe Hydrogen Hybrid system offers the same level of safety as existing petrol powered engines. ", "Alset Global emphasises that the hydrogen tank designed provides the same level of safety as a petrol-powered vehicle and that the danger level is no more than that. ", "Indeed, ultra high-strength fibre tanks ensure the safety of the hydrogen fuel. ", "Alset Global has proven the complete safety of its system through the safety requirements met at Nürburgring's 24-hour Race. ", "This race is considered as one of the toughest technical challenges race cars can face in the world. ", "In addition, hydrogen is known to be as much as four times more diffusive than natural gas. ", "This means that if hydrogen gas is leaking, it will quickly go up in the atmosphere. ", "Furthermore, when hydrogen burns, its radiant heat is just one-tenth that of a hydrocarbon fire. ", "Finally, hydrogen burns 7% cooler than gasoline.", "\n\nAston Martin Rapide S\nAston Martin and Alset Global developed a Rapide S four-door, four-seat model to become the first hydrogen car to race on the 41st ADAC Zurich 24-hour Nürburgring race. ", "The hydrogen powered Aston Martin Rapide S uses the same original internal combustion petrol engine. ", "However, necessary revisions were made to the engine so that it can run on both hydrogen fuel and petrol fuel. ", "At the race, this vehicle produced 500 PS of power and achieved 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.9 seconds. ", "In addition, this vehicle achieved 22 km of lap during the race without emitting any CO2 emissions.", "\n\nThe engine of the Aston Martin Rapide S used for the Hydrogen Hybrid application was a twin turbocharged 6-lt V12 engine that can generate 550 PS, reach the top speed of 306 km/h. and competes in experimental E1-XP2 class.", "\n\nThe Aston Martin Rapide S powered by Alset Hydrogen Hybrid technology managed to reach 255 km/h (160 mph) during the 24-hour Nürburgring race and finished at 113th. ", "The hydrogen pit stop was estimated to take 45 seconds, however during the race the engineers managed to reduce the pit-stop time to 30 seconds.", "\n\nFuture of Alset\nFor the future, Alset Global is focused on three different areas: SUVs and luxury vehicles, motorsports and commercial vehicles. ", "The technology introduced by Alset Global is capable of reducing the CO2 emissions for SUVs and luxury vehicles without any compromise to the pleasure of driving with the sound and torque of an engine. ", "The area of motorsports has already began with Aston Martin's Rapide S. The last area is commercial vehicles. ", "Commercial vehicles are responsible for large amounts of CO2 emissions; and therefore Alset can have an important impact in that area. ", "Alset Global plans to extend their technology to engage with commercial vehicles.", "\n\nLondon Hydrogen Project\nThe London Hydrogen Project started in 2002 and initiated projects with more than £50 million. ", "The Hydrogen Project is especially concentrated on hydrogen taxis, buses, scooters, refueling stations, and various other projects to enable hydrogen mobility.", "\n\nAward\nAlset Global won the Powertrain of the Year Award at the Professional Motorsport World (PMW) Expo 2013 Awards in Cologne, Germany. ", "The award was given to Alset's new powertrain technology applied in Aston Martin's Rapide S, which enables the use of both hydrogen and petrol in an internal combustion engine.

", "11, the PON includes a point-to-multipoint type structure of an optical subscriber end terminal (i.e., an optical line terminal (OLT)) inside the central office and a plurality of optical network end terminals (i.e., optical network units (ONUs)) that are installed in the customer premises.", "\nAs shown in FIG. ", "11, the OLT transmits a transmission enable data (a data that enables a time period for transmitting data) to each ONU (see (1) of FIG. ", "11).
